Chapter 292: Tracking (1st Update)
"Thank you for the kindness of the city lord, thank you, you don't have to!" With that, the painter pushed the wheelchair and quickly left. The city lord of the pen and fun pavilion pouted behind the painter www.biquge.info and said, "Fake serious! ”
The boy who followed the painter saw all this clearly in the back. That night in the city lord's bedroom, I remembered a howl like killing pigs!
On the second day, early in the morning, a large number of people gathered in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion.
The city lord, who was still immersed in the gentle village, was awakened by a banging knock on the door.
"City Lord, it's not good, there are a lot of people gathered at the gate, and they all say that they want you to give money to the city lord!" Outside the door, the slave shouted loudly.
The city lord woke up from the ******** at once, got up, and asked with a somewhat confused look in his eyes, "What, what...... What happened? As he spoke, he hurriedly put his pants on.
Sleeping next to him was the girl he had newly redeemed from the drunken flower building, and it was the time to be favored. was awakened by his movement, and muttered: "What kind of person, early in the morning, and let people sleep......"
The city lord lowered his body with difficulty, and coaxed softly in his mouth: "Oh, my little baby, you continue to sleep, and the master will come back to accompany you later......" said in his mouth, and his subordinates patted the woman.
I walked out of the house in a panic, and the steward of the house was already standing aside and waiting.
"What's going on, you make it clear? Who's coming to ask for money? ”
"Tell my lord, it's the gang of Diao people who made trouble yesterday, I don't know how the painter promised them, they all went back last night, but today they came over and said that they wanted the city lord's mansion to compensate them for one hundred taels of silver per household......" The city lord dragged his bulging belly, and talked to the steward while walking, and when he heard the steward's words, he suddenly stopped, and turned around, but went to the backyard.
Before he could reach the painter's courtyard, a person hurriedly came to report.
"My lord, the painter left the city early this morning, and he doesn't know where to go at present!"
The city lord was stunned when he heard this, and the painter left? The painter is gone, what about the volcano? What about the homeless people outside the door? Do you really want every household to give a hundred taels of silver? That's white money! How many aunts can he buy......
But if he didn't pay for this money, he absolutely believed that those outcasts would have captured the City Lord's Mansion today, and when the time came, let alone him, the City Lord, even those treasures in his treasury would be robbed. Between silver and all your belongings, there is no doubt that spending some money to ward off disasters is the right choice!
After the battle between heaven and man in his heart, the city lord waved his fat hand and said painfully: "Open a warehouse and distribute silver!" ”
Several house slaves and stewards looked at each other and didn't dare to reply, this is not the style of the city lord. Don't wait until he turns around and regrets going to these subordinates to open the knife, right?
When the city lord saw that none of these people responded after he had spoken, he immediately became angry, and kicked a house slave in front of him to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and get the money and send those people away!" In addition, quickly dispatch a few people out of the city to track down the whereabouts of the artist! Especially around the volcano, let them focus on the investigation! ”
Only then did a few house slaves and stewards react, and they hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, the subordinates will do it!" As he spoke, one by one he ran away in a hurry as if he had been burned by someone.
After everyone had retreated, the lord fell into deep thought.
He has been the lord of this border city for more than ten years. At first, he was just a small guard, and then it was the painter who helped him sit in this position. After sitting in this position, his greed gradually grew, and the ambition he had when he first became the lord of the castle disappeared for a while.
He clearly knew that if this continued, the painter would one day abandon himself and support another person to take the position. Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for someone to kick him off his seat, but waited for the news that the painter left first.
In fact, for him, it was a good thing for him that the painter was gone, at least he didn't have to worry about being kicked off his seat one day. But he also knew very well in his heart that the painter was gone, and the peace of this town for hundreds of years had come to an end.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that there was a painter, this town had not been harassed by demon beasts, and there was no suppression by other foreign cultivators, so it could be said that the painter supported the peace of the entire town!
He didn't know where he came from, or how long he had been here. It was only according to the notebook of each city lord of the city lord's mansion that he learned that as soon as this person came here, he seemed to be working as a painter.
Now, he's gone! In the future, I don't know if he will come back. But he figured he probably wouldn't come back!
At this time, less than a hundred miles away from the gate of the town, there was a group of people staying. At the head of the list were the painters who had run away, as well as the chief of the guard and his group of subordinates.
The head of the guard cut off the most tender piece of the roasted demon beast meat and handed it to the painter, who waved his hand and shook his head in refusal. The chief guard suddenly became anxious, and said anxiously: "Sir, how can you hold out until you find that girl without eating or drinking?" Don't find that girl in the end, you yourself fell first, then you might as well not follow us, just wait for news in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
The painter smiled and said, "You forget, I have already opened the valley, and I don't need these things at all." On weekdays, you drink tea and eat, but it's just for others to see, how can you take it seriously? As he spoke, he shook his head, as if sighing.
The head of the guard felt that he was really concerned, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and sent the meat in his hand into his mouth.
After taking two bites, the guard Changfu opened his mouth and asked, "Why did Mr. suddenly decide to leave?" Didn't you stay good before? And didn't you say before that girl asked us and would definitely come back to us? ”
The painter shook his head, scratched a twig on the ground, and said, "This time and that time!" After he went back last night, he took out the mirror image and saw that there was no trace of the hairball inside! He had already guessed that Bugui had obtained the dragon cry and had the tracking technique on the hairball, so he was originally very relieved. But all of a sudden, the loss of the hairball made him realize that his original plan might have changed!
Plans can never catch up with change! He understands that. Although Bugui realized the tracking technique before, he never lifted it, so it's likely that he was waiting for an opportunity! Now, she's waiting!
That chance is only possible to get out of Border City! The other, he doesn't do what he thinks, can only be this! Because he knows how desperate Bugui is to get out of here! (To be continued.) )
