Chapter 136: The Little Fox's Premonition
As mentioned last time, Wang Mu and the others followed Xu Fu into the Wunian Palace, and successfully met Puji, the lord of Qinyou City who had returned to the palace.
Wang Mu spoke amazingly in the palace, and asked Puji to treat him in public, and Puji unexpectedly agreed.
But Nameless reminded Wang Mu to be careful of this Qinyou City Lord, Wang Mu was puzzled by this, and the Qinyou City Lord also looked at Nameless vigilantly, his eyes were a little weird.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense, and Xu Fu tried to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "I don't know why the city lord urgently summoned Xu?" ”
Pu Ji stared at Nameless for a long time, only to feel that this person's temperament was somewhat familiar, and after a while, he replied to Xu Fudao: "I want to build a bigger palace!" ”
Xu Fu frowned and said, "The old city lord has just passed away, and it seems a little inappropriate to break ground and build the palace now." ”
Walto noticed that the city lord did not frown slightly when Xu Fu said this, and he quickly stood up and said, "It's a good thing that the city lord wants to build a palace." I think that my Qinyou City is not small among the twelve cities, and the city lord is also very prestigious among the twelve city lords, but this Wunian Palace is really a bit shabby, so I think it is not wrong for the city lord to build a palace. ”
Puji nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips, and seemed to be very satisfied with Walter's words.
Xu Fu still said bluntly: "Now the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and the construction of the palace will not be able to add heavy taxes and servitude, I am afraid that it will be Baixin who will suffer at that time!" ”
A trace of displeasure flashed on Puji's face, and then he said sharply: "Isn't it okay for me to build a palace in my hall?" Or do you Xu Fu have no city lord in his eyes at all? ”
Xu Fu knew that Cheng took the initiative to be angry, so he didn't dare to say more, but just knelt down under His Highness and bowed his head, making a wordless protest.
But it was obvious that Xu Fu's move had no effect on Puji, and he saw Puji stand up and say: "I have made up my mind, and tomorrow I will issue a notice that all the strong laborers in the city who have reached the age of five hundred will be gathered together to build a palace for me!" ”
After saying that, Pu Ji turned his head and his face changed, and said to Wang Mu with a smile: "You come back tomorrow, I will personally heal you!" ”
Wang Mu didn't have much of a good impression of this Qinyou City Lord at this time, and this Puji's true body was far from the rumors about him, which couldn't help but make Wang Mu a little disappointed.
Everyone in the hall had already left one after another, only Xu Fu still knelt on the ground without raising his head, trying to make the city lord change his mind with sincerity. Wang Mu and the others stood behind them, not knowing what to do.
Wang Mu sighed and said, "Lord Xu, the city lord has left, so you can get up." ”
Xu Fu didn't speak, he was still kneeling on the ground, and a white-haired old man kneeling on the ground made Wang Mu feel a little unbearable.
Wang Mu said with some anger: "It seems that those rumors about the city lord of Qinyou are all false, what loves the people like a son, what is diligent and thrifty to govern the city, now it seems that he is just a faint monarch who is greedy for pleasure." ”
Xu Fu's body shook, and he slowly stood up from the ground and said, "The city lord is not what you said, he was not like this before, I always feel that he came back a little differently this time." But I can't say exactly what the difference is, but I have this feeling. ”
Wang Mu smiled and said, "Lord Xu doesn't have to excuse such a faint monarch, I know that you are loyal to the master." ”
Xu Fu shook his head helplessly, and a few people slowly walked out of the palace and went out of the palace.
Wang Mu and the others just had nowhere to go, and it was not a way to be a lieutenant general in the ancient temple all the time. When Xu Fu heard this, he happily invited Wang Mu and the others to live in his Immortal Pavilion temporarily.
Of course, Wang Mu was happy to be like this, and Nameless was reluctant at first, but he couldn't resist Wang Mu, so he had to take Xiaoxi to live in the Eternal Life Pavilion together.
Before entering the Immortal Pavilion, Wang Mu had already imagined countless times in his mind that the place of a top pharmacist like Xu Fu must be unusual, even if it was not comparable to the Lin Mansion in the Demon Capital, but it should be about the same.
But when he entered the Immortal Pavilion, Wang Mu couldn't help but be a little disappointed. That's a big gap.
The difference between the Immortal Pavilion and the mansion of the Demon Capital Forest Mansion is not a little bit apart, the last time Wang Mu just looked outside, he only felt that the door mansion was a little bold, but it looked a little shabby inside.
Rather than being Xu Fu's mansion, it would be more appropriate to say that the Changsheng Pavilion was a small farmhouse courtyard. The entire Immortal Pavilion is not as big as a corner of the Lin Mansion, and with some medicinal herbs planted in the courtyard, it seems even more crowded.
Seeing this, Wang Mu suddenly remembered a person - Ji Yun, Ji Xiaolan! This Immortal Pavilion is somewhat similar to the Yuewei Grass Hall.
"With Lord Xu's status, how could he succumb to such a small mansion?" Wang Mu asked with some curiosity.
Xu Fu smiled bitterly: "In the past, the city lord took the lead in being diligent and thrifty, and we, the people around the city lord, naturally followed suit. I didn't think that the city lord would ask for the palace to be built now, it seems that the death of the old city lord has hit him too hard, and he has changed. ”
Wang Mu teased: "In this way, Lord Xu's Immortal Pavilion is also going to be rebuilt. ”
Xu Fu smiled helplessly, did not speak, and took Wang Mu and the others to the guest room to rest. Although the Changsheng Pavilion is small, Wang Mu feels very cordial, because the architecture and layout here reflect the classical charm of China everywhere, which can make Wang Mu feel a little at home.
That night, Xu Fu's family sent some wine and food, and Xu Fu also took out his treasure wine to share with Wang Mu and others.
Xu Fu's treasure is brewed by himself in his spare time on weekdays, and since Wang Mu came to the land of heavy demons, this is the first time he has drunk the wine of his hometown, so he naturally drank more.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Mu was a little drunk, and his cheeks were slightly red when he looked at Xu Fu and the others. It is almost impossible to say that a soul person is drunk, but Xu Fu added a few medicinal materials to the wine, which can temporarily paralyze the soul person's nerves and achieve the same effect as alcohol.
After being full of wine and food, Wang Mu and the others slept in separate rooms, and he slept very soundly this night, because tomorrow he was going to enter the Wunian Palace, and he could have the opportunity to have his terminal illness.
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, Wang Mu still got up early, and when the genius was bright, he came to the courtyard to take advantage of the freshness of dawn to practice meditation, which was a habit he had cultivated since the day of his cultivation.
The time after entering the settlement always passed quickly, and it wasn't until Xu Fu patted him on the shoulder that he realized that it was already dawn.
Wang Mu simply settled the Yan Ghost and the little fox, and then decided to get up and go to the Wunian Palace. But before leaving, Nameless walked over and said in a warning tone: "I advise you not to go, this Qinyou City Lord is not a good person!" ”
"How do you know?" Wang Mu asked rhetorically.
Nameless and indifferent said: "I'm just guessing, if you have to send you to death, I won't stop you!" ”
Wang Mu said disapprerovingly: "I just went to see the city lord of Qinyou for medical treatment, not to fight, you are too worried." ”
The little fox also said worriedly: "Why do I always have a bad premonition, you really won't be fine, right?" ”
Wang Mu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you all today?" It's as if they're going to give me a funeral. ”
Without saying a few words, Wang Mu walked out of the Immortal Pavilion and shook his head with a smile. The little fox muttered to himself, "I hope that dream is not true." ”
