Chapter 43: The Old Man's Choice
To Mengxue's surprise, the food in the City Lord's Mansion was really delicious, which also caused her to be too full to walk, so the trip back to the capital had to be postponed a little later, but fortunately, the City Lord of Fengxi was not present at the time, otherwise she would definitely have to urge again.
At the same time that Mengxue was eating meat, the city lord of Fengxi was dealing with all kinds of messes in Fengxi City, because of Mengxue's previous trouble, now the chickens and dogs in the city are jumping, if it continues like this, it may cause a riot, and he must hurry up as the city lord to deal with it.
When the city lord returned from his busy work, he found that the two adults had not left, and he had a headache, but when he saw that it was getting late, he had no choice but to let the two stay for one night first, and then send out to the capital the next day.
Seeing the comfortable big bed that she hadn't seen for a long time, Mengxue immediately teleported to the bed, and fell asleep after a while, Lin Xinhan, who was following Mengxue, saw this, and could only shake his head helplessly, why did the master fall asleep without even closing the door.
After helping the master close the door, Lin Xinhan was still not at ease, because the door was not locked, it could be pushed open with a push, in order to prevent someone from sneaking into the master's room, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, and guarded the master while cultivating, because outside the room, he didn't dare to practice too much, which also caused his body to not be fully rested.
The night was peaceful, Mengxue because she slept very early, and very comfortable, so she got up at dawn the next day, thinking that it was rare for her to get up so early, she was ready to go to the next room to surprise the apprentice, but as soon as she opened the door, she was surprised to find that the apprentice was sitting at the door of her room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and smiled at Mengxue, "Master Xue'er, good morning." ”
"Disciple, morning. Meng Xue sneered, she didn't expect to be surprised by the apprentice, but the apprentice shouldn't have sat here all night, right?
After a brief breakfast, the two of them also met the tired face of the city lord of Fengxi, who had stayed up all night yesterday in order to count all kinds of losses in the city, and had just arranged various matters not long ago.
After making a hache, the City Lord of Fengxi quickly adjusted his state, "Good morning, two adults. ”
Seeing the appearance of the Fengxi City Lord, Meng Xue waved at him, "City Lord, you came just in time, we were just about to go to you to say goodbye, but I didn't expect you to come." ”
Hearing this, the Fengxi City Lord's eyes lit up, "Are the two adults leaving?"
"Why, you seem to be quite happy knowing that we are leaving, isn't it true that the city lord doesn't welcome us?" Seeing Fengxi City Lord's appearance, Meng Xue said with a smile, unable to see joy or anger.
"How dare I!" As soon as Meng Xue said this, the Fengxi City Lord suddenly said with a straight face, "The reason why I hope that the two adults can hurry back is because I just got the news last night that the Su Wang family will start in two days. ”
Last night, Huang Taizu wrote back to him, asking him to explain to the two adults that the situation of the Lin family was urgent, and hoped that the two could return to the capital as soon as possible, but at that time, both of them were resting, and he was not good at bothering, so he never had a chance to speak.
"Two days left, it seems that those fools are in a hurry to find death. Meng Xue still looked smiling, but when she opened her eyes inadvertently, she could faintly see a fierce glint in her smiling eyes.
Soon, Mengxue left with Lin Xinhan, originally, the city lord of Fengxi still wanted to see off the two, but Mengxue flew away directly from the city lord's mansion with the sword, which gave the city lord of Fengxi a headache.
"Don't forget to give the bounty to the old man, or I'll be angry. "This is Mengxue's only advice to the City Lord of Fengxi before leaving.
After seeing the two adults leave, the city lord of Fengxi also began to prepare to complete Mengxue's explanation, and personally led a team of people to find the old man's residence, but what made him ashamed was that he did not find a house in the place where Mengxue pointed, so he searched for hundreds of miles, and finally found the residence of the old woodcutter.
Seeing the city lord come in person, the old man looked very nervous, and thought that the matter of letting go of the wanted criminal was exposed, and later after learning the ins and outs from the mouth of the city lord of Fengxi, he pushed back the two crystal cards in front of him, one black and one white.
"These spirit stones are old and can't be collected. ”
"Why?" Seeing that Jingka was back in front of him, the city lord of Fengxi was puzzled, this is not a small amount of money, with this money, the old man can buy a large courtyard in the inner city, and live a prosperous and wealthy life to enjoy his old age, why should the old man refuse?
"The two benefactors saved the old man's life, but the old man could only help them a little, for this, the old man was ashamed, and now if he received this spirit stone, his heart would be uneasy. ”
"But this ...... Your old man should take it. Fengxi City Lord said with an embarrassed face, Jingka pushed the old man again, even if the old man said so, he couldn't return these spirit stones, if he really returned the spirit stones to the adult, maybe one day there would be a fire in the City Lord's Mansion.
The old man didn't even glance at the two crystal cards, "The old man doesn't have a few years to live, what's the use of asking for these spirit stones?"
"Then be the lord of this city, please beg you. The Fengxi City Lord pleaded with a wry smile, he could already vaguely see the picture of his City Lord's Mansion turning into a sea of fire.
When it came to this, the old man couldn't postpone it, so he had to sigh, "Alas, then the old man can accept it, but since these spirit stones have been accepted, then the old man should be able to use it however he wants, right?"
The City Lord of Fengxi nodded, "Of course, the old man can use it however he wants." ”
After receiving the affirmation of the Fengxi City Lord, the old man pushed the crystal card to him, "Then donate all these spirit stones to the soldiers who are fighting in the north." ”
"Hmm...... Huh?" The Fengxi City Lord nodded first, and after hesitating for a while, he looked at the old man with a face full of disbelief, it was the first time he had heard that someone would donate money for the army.
At the same time, Mengxue, who saw this scene with that breath, almost fell from the spirit sword, and after hurriedly stabilizing her body, a smile also appeared on her face.
At this time, Lin Xinhan asked nervously behind him, "Master Xue'er, what happened to you just now, are you not feeling well?"
"It's okay, it's just a rare time to meet an interesting person, and I'm just a little happy. Meng Xue turned around and chuckled, and the spirit sword suddenly accelerated.
