Chapter 8: The Lord of the City
"Where did you come from, country boy, you dare to take care of my business! Take it down for me!" Mu Yao shouted, unusually angry.
However, Wanglong clearly saw a guard with a disdainful expression, but after all, he was a soldier, and he walked towards Wanglong with neat steps to meet him.
Seeing the guards gradually control the situation, Mu Yaoyun's face bloomed with joy, although the pain in his body made him twitch the corners of his mouth from time to time, but he felt happy from the bottom of his heart at the thought of being able to clean up this country boy.
"Hmph, if I don't give you some power, I don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
Most of the people around looked at the unfair situation in the field and lowered their heads with regret. A few people who roared angrily were glared at by Mu Yao, and they suddenly didn't dare to speak.
"Stop!"
Just as Wanglong was running the energy in his body, a crisp cheer made him dispel the idea of doing it.
"Who, who dares to meddle in things!" Mu Yaoyu naturally couldn't let others mess with his own good show, and immediately looked around to find the owner of the voice.
The beautiful figure flashed, and a young girl appeared in front of her, it was Hu Qinling, who had seen in the academy and said something strange to herself.
"Why are you here?" Wanglong heard her voice just now, but couldn't understand why she came forward.
"Hu Qinling, what are you doing with your business, don't you go home and learn to do business with your Lao Tzu!" Mu Yaoji tilted his head and asked, obviously the two knew each other.
"You don't give me a beep to rely on, if you do dirty things in broad daylight, I'm afraid that the face of the city lord will be lost by you!" Hu Qinling glared at Mu Yaoyu and scolded.
"Bold! Even if your Hu Family Chamber of Commerce has some status in our Wind and Rain City, but today's matter is that I am in the public to enforce the law and take down this ignorant countryman!" Mu Yaoji was furious, "If you make trouble again, I will arrest you together! I'm not wrong, and your family won't be able to protect you if the matter gets bigger!"
Wanglong rolled his eyes, he could be regarded as having seen that there were shameless people everywhere.
"Then you should try it, today's things are waiting for me to be the city lord, and you are waiting to receive the punishment!" Hu Qinling was not afraid at all, and he had a womanly demeanor with both hands and waists.
Hearing this, Mu Yaoyu's face suddenly looked as ugly as eating a fly, this Hu Qinling is not like ordinary people, if it is just ordinary people suing him, there are many ways to settle it, but the Hu family ......
"That's it. ”
Just between the two sides, a voice like a bell joined in, and everyone followed the sound to see an old man walking briskly, followed by the family and Mu Yaoyun's family wearing the same clothes, but Wanglong felt that these people were not a rabble!
"It's ...... Boss?"
"Yo! The chief steward around the city lord is here?"
"Good looks, boss!"
When the old man appeared, the people around him immediately started to talk about it, and they all greeted the old man, and the chief manager didn't respond without a nod.
Looking at the attitudes of the people around him, Wanglong was a little surprised: "It seems that the prestige of this old man is very high, and the people are so enthusiastic." ”
"This is Mu Feng, the personal manager of the city lord of Mu, the old man is very strong, and he has a high prestige among the people. Hu Qinling suddenly explained.
Wanglong nodded silently, to be honest, he didn't feel any strength from Mu Feng at all, he should have a very precise and perfect control over his own strength, such a person is the most terrifying.
"You haven't told me why you're helping me?"
Hu Qinling was silent again.
Mu Feng walked over and did not first salute his young master, but first greeted Hu Qinling, and then bowed his hand slightly to Dongfang Wanglong.
"The old man was dealing with chores outside the city, and he didn't want to just return to the city, but I heard that my young master Mu Yaoyu had caused trouble, so I hurried here, and forgive my son. As soon as Mu Feng came, he lowered his posture, and said to Wanglong first with a humble look.
The surrounding guards also knelt on one knee at this moment: "I've seen the chief manager!"
Wanglong nodded and shook his head.
"Isn't it true that Childe wants some compensation? It doesn't matter, it's all easy to say, I Mu ......"
"I don't want compensation, I nod to accept your apology, but the most wronged is not me, my grudge with Mu Yaoyong has been settled just now after beating him, but the daughter of a woman in the city went to Mu Yaoyong's mansion to be a maid, and now she has lost her life, I hope the chief manager will truthfully report to the city lord and seek justice for the mother and daughter!"
"Since I'm here today, I'm bound to investigate it thoroughly, and I'm really sorry for the fright I brought to my son today. Mu Feng said sincerely.
Wanglong nodded, turned his head to look at Mu Yaoyu, who had not dared to speak since Mu Feng came, this guy was standing aside at the moment and did not dare to breathe, he could only stare at Wanglong fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Mu Feng walked to Mu Yaoyun's side and saluted slightly: "Young master, let's go back, today's matter is not small." ”
"I am the son of the city lord, this country boy ......" Mu Yaoyu was a little unwilling.
"Young master, the master is very unhappy about today's matter!" Mu Feng accentuated his tone, and Mu Yaoyun suddenly wilted. Obviously, this sentence carries a lot of weight.
After the city guards were dispersed, the chief manager of Mu Feng saluted Hu Qinling and Dongfang Wanglong again, and left with Mu Yaoyong and his family this time.
"It's a matter here, but Mu Yaoyong is obviously going to trouble you, what are your plans after that?" Hu Qinling asked Wanglong.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Why else, who doesn't know Mu Yaoji's virtue in this wind and rain city? Hu Qinling didn't care, "I just have this strength, and I have done things that ordinary people who don't dare to do." ”
After taking a deep look at her, Wanglong stopped asking.
......
In a restaurant next to the incident, a sturdy young man said to a middle-aged man: "Father, my little sister's communication skills are getting stronger and stronger, and she will definitely be able to take over the family's chamber of commerce in the future...... It's just that this young man needs to be so attentive?"
"You know Xiao Ling's talent, but since he started cultivating until now, even if he has the support of various resources from the family, he is now only in the sixth stage of black iron, but this kid is already in the bronze stage, how old are they. The middle-aged man sighed, "Anyway, don't be in front of Xiao Lingmian in the future, this girl is taboo with this word." ”
When the young man heard this, he seemed to remember something, and said with a dark expression: "Father...... You ......"
"Hey, judging from the current situation, the City Lord's Mansion has obviously noticed him as well. The middle-aged man looked at Mu Feng, who stopped not far away, and sighed.
The chief manager obviously also found the middle-aged man, and after smiling kindly, he waved his hand generously, and the middle-aged man also nodded to the other party very simply.
......
After wandering around the city with Hu Qinling for a while, they parted at lunchtime, and Wanglong didn't dare to delay his steps and walked to the blacksmith shop in Wind and Rain City.
"Yo, Brother Wanglong is here!" Tie Shi was sitting at the door of the blacksmith shop at the moment, and when he saw Wanglong coming from a distance, he opened his mouth to say hello.
"Hello Iron Boss, I'll do the work. Wanglong also smiled in response.
"Okay, this forging table was originally for me, and you can use it immediately from today!" Tieshi enthusiastically led Wanglong to the blacksmith shop and pointed to a forging table.
Wanglong looked at it, and there was a complete series of forging equipment next to a tall forging platform, which was different from Shishen Village, where the blacksmith shop was not complete, and it was often necessary to borrow from each other. As a person who has been exposed to these since childhood, Wanglong feels a sense of satisfaction just by looking at them.
"Thank you Boss Tie for your kindness, then I will start today's work. After thanking the dragon, the fire began to rise.
......
The architectural pattern of Wind and Rain City is relatively simple, similar to other cities in the Chinese Empire, with the city lord's mansion as the center, and then the surrounding area is the commercial area, and then the residential area and tourist attractions.
At this moment, in the welcoming hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a tall middle-aged man was looking at Mu Yaoyun kneeling at the bottom of the hall with blazing eyes, this middle-aged man has a heroic face, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and his strong body is full of dragon-like muscles, just sitting there gives people a great deterrent, this person is Mu Jinglei, the city lord of Wind and Rain City.
There are not many people in the hall, Mu Jinglei who is sitting in the first place, Mu Feng, the chief manager who accompanies him, Mu Yaoyun who is kneeling in the lower position, and there are no outsiders in the hall guards.
"I've heard about today's incident," Mu Jinglei looked at Mu Yaoyu and slowly spoke, "I warned you the first time you did this kind of unreasonable thing, if there is a next time, I will punish you well! ”
"The second time, I rewarded you with 20 rules, what about the third time?" Mu Jinglei looked at Mu Yaoyu and said this, his blazing eyes were also full of fatigue at this moment.
"Father was right...... I...... I'm willing to take another 20 sticks. Mu Yaoyun knelt down in the lobby, lowering his head and not seeing the arrogance when he was outside.
"20? Even if I beat you up 200 rules, what's the use!" Mu Jinglei suddenly shouted, "There are two and two, and there are two and then three! You, you are not as good as your brothers! Lose the face of the city lord's mansion, lose my face Mu Jinglei! I will drive you out of the Mu family today, and you will make trouble for me again!"
Listening to his father's reprimand, it was not to drive himself out, but to say "You are not as good as your brother", Mu Yaoyu felt a little numb in his heart, he had heard too many such words since he was a child, but more of them were as uncomfortable as cat scratches, he wanted to refute it, but the experience from childhood to adulthood made him just keep kowtowing and begging for mercy now.
"City Lord, don't want it!" At this moment, a woman ran out from the side and knelt beside Mu Yaoyong, "City Lord, please forgive Yaoyun for being ignorant!"
This woman is not ugly, and even has a beautiful temperament between her eyebrows, which makes it hard to imagine that such a person was once just a maid.
She has a pair of red phoenix eyebrows, the high bridge of the nose makes the whole face look spiritual, and the slender eyelashes make her still have a different charm even if she is middle-aged.
Zhang Cuilan's clothes are plain, and she looks more like an ordinary woman in the common people's family, so that people can't tell at a glance that this is the concubine of the city lord.
"Mother, why did you come out!" Mu Yaoyu was shocked, he didn't want his mother to see his embarrassed appearance.
"What are you doing here, go back for me!" Mu Jinglei was angry, and his attitude was also unceremoniously.
The chief manager looked at Mu Jinglei's angry appearance, and sighed leisurely in his heart: "City Lord, why do you bother. ”
Arching his hand slightly, Mu Feng persuaded Mu Jinglei: "City Lord, everything is said and said is not more than three, the young master did make a big mistake today, but I believe that this is also the last time, the old slave will definitely discipline the young master more in the future, and I hope that the city lord will be kind this time." ”
"Kai'en, I can be gracious, how can that dead girl be gracious to me?
