Chapter 3 City Lord's Mansion

In the middle of this Yucheng, one of the tallest and largest houses is the City Lord's Mansion. Although they knew that the City Lord's Mansion was very large, when Yan Chuan and the others arrived, they were still startled by the building in front of them.

This house is not ordinarily big, the whole building is surrounded by a wall, the wall is a vivid carving, the magnificent relief gives people a visual impact, Yanchuan is secretly staggering, this wall alone, the cost required is not a small amount, not to mention the pearl palace in the middle. Such a luxurious mansion is really not something that ordinary people can live in.

After turning around the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yan Chuan didn't find the door to enter, this house is not good if it's big, and it's hard to tell where the entrance is. After continuing to walk along the wall for a while, Yan Chuan finally saw a place guarded by someone, thinking that he should have entered the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hello, please inform me, our two brothers want to visit the city lord. Walking up to one of the guards, Yan Chuan said politely.

Seeing that Yan Chuan and the others were not very old, the guard was obviously a little impatient, and he didn't even look at Yan Chuan, and stretched out five fingers to gesture, "Old rules." ”

The so-called old rules, Yan Chuan naturally didn't know what they meant, but he was also a smart person, and after thinking about it carefully, he took out five gold coins. Gold coins are the common currency of this world, and the income of an ordinary family is about fifty gold coins a month, and those worth less than one gold coin are usually bartered and will not be calculated in gold coins.

The guard looked at Yan Feng behind Yan Chuan, and looked even more impatient, "It's five gold coins for one person, and I want ten gold coins in total, and I didn't ask for it clearly, so I came to this back door." ”

The guard's words made Yan Chuan stunned, such a big faΓ§ade turned out to be just a back door, and this guard was also dark enough, in Yequ's inn, it would only cost one gold coin for one night, and it would cost ten gold coins as soon as the mouth opened here. But come to think of it, the city lord is not something that can be seen when he meets, and sometimes the king of Hades is more difficult to deal with when he is easy to pass the little ghost, fortunately, when he comes out, he brings enough gold coins, otherwise it is really difficult to do. Thinking of this, Yan Chuan stopped saying a word, and directly took out ten gold coins and handed them to the guards.

"Come with me. Wait, don't run around. ”

After the guard finished speaking, he turned around and left, not to see if Yanchuan and they had followed.

Now there is a request for someone, and Yan Chuan doesn't care about the attitude of the guards, as long as he can see the city lord. Straightening his clothes slightly, he followed the guards and walked inside.

After walking for about half an hour, the guards finally stopped.

"You two are waiting here, don't run around. The guard obviously couldn't leave his post for too long, so he took Yan Chuan and the others to the waiting room and left in a hurry.

Yan Chuan looked at the living room, and his first feeling was that it was big, a place that was enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and it was enough to be used as an inn, and the placements inside were also extremely luxurious, all of which were precious jade and plants.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone coming, Yan Chuan was a little anxious, this guard should have forgotten to report.

Unwilling to waste any more time waiting here quietly, Yan Chuan decided to go out to have a look, and whispered to Yan Feng at the moment, and the two brothers walked out of the waiting room together.

There are some rockeries around the waiting room, only there is a passage next to it, and there are several large and small rooms next to the passage, but they are all closed, Yan Chuan has no intention of knocking on the door one by one, and walks straight forward with Yan Feng.

In a place similar to the main hall, Yan Chuan heard the voice of someone talking, how did this sound so familiar, Yan Chuan looked at it suspiciously, and saw two familiar faces.

At this time, there were three people talking in the main hall, one sitting on the largest chair in the middle, while the other two were standing sideways and below.

"Aren't those the two thugs at the gate of Yucheng? What are they doing here?"

Yan Chuan was secretly frightened, the two people standing below, when he first arrived in Yucheng, he had seen them at the city gate, Yan Chuan still remembered that one of them was called Wu Wenguang, and the other was called Bai Mian Zhang, they were all famous liars in the city, if it weren't for Yan Chuan's cleverness, he was almost deceived by them when he first arrived in Yucheng.

What will happen to the two thugs when they come to find the city lord? I want to see what the hell you guys are doing, Yan Chuan greeted Yan Feng, and the two of them hid around the corner, secretly investigating the situation inside, but did not show up.

"Hehe, Lord of the City, you have been telling me to do things for a while, and I don't know how much to pay..." The first person to speak was a big man with a bearded face and a stout figure standing in the lower left, he was Wu Wenguang.

Hearing that the conversation between the three of them had just gotten to the point, Yan Chuan leaned his ear to the door and listened closely.

Sitting on the top of the high hall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the person who is called the city lord is naturally Yan Hai, the city lord of Yucheng that Ye Qu said, at this time, he tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he said with a little anger, "Hmph, you two still have the face to ask for compensation." ”

"What are you doing, what is the task I have given you? It is for you to capture the cultivators in the city, not for you to go around the city to cheat. ”

"Your old man is angry, the masters in the city are not something that the two of us can catch if we say we can catch them, if we accidentally expose our actions, isn't it more troublesome, besides, we are also deceiving at the city gate to find out if there are any new cultivators. The one who opened his mouth was white, and his thin figure was pale, with a pleasing face, and the word obscene was vividly expressed in him.

In the Lingdu Continent, there are definitely a few people who can cultivate, but what do Yan Hai and the others want to do with cultivators? Yan Chuan was puzzled, but he continued to listen.

"That's enough, if you don't make any progress, you two won't have to mess around in Yucheng. ”

Yan Hai was also very upset, he didn't complete the assigned task within the specified time, and the anger he would face at that time was not something he could bear.

"Give me half of what you have recently cheated about, and I don't need to tell you the exact amount. ”

Although he was irritable, the attraction of money to Yan Hai was not small, even if he didn't complete the task, he still wanted to collect some small fortune first.

"This..." Wu Wenguang looked angry, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Mianzhang on the side.

As if he hadn't seen the movements of the two people below, Yan Hai said to himself: "I'll give you three more days, and when the task is completed, your benefits will be indispensable." ”

Hearing this, Yan Chuan had a lot of doubts in his heart, this Yan Hai and Wu Wenguang seemed to be plotting something, but what they talked about was very little, and it was difficult to judge what it was.

However, Yan Chuan didn't have much of the heart to care about such idle matters, he just wanted to get spiritual objects, and the rest, no matter what Yan Hai's purpose was, it was none of his business.

Wu Wenguang and Bai Mian came out and saw the two of them coming out of the main hall. Yan Chuan didn't think about it anymore, and hid in the direction of the rockery when Yan Feng came and went.

"Yan Hai, this old vampire, he thinks he is something. used to be just a bandit leader, and I don't know what shit luck I had, but I was able to become the lord of the city. Wu Wenguang, who was angry, was quite unhappy with Yan Hai's behavior of not only not paying them but also taking half of their income.

"Just say a few words, and be careful that the wall has ears. As he spoke, Bai Mian looked left and right, and was relieved to find that there was no one else around.

Seeing the cautious appearance of the white face, Wu Wenguang stopped talking, and he only complained a few words. In any case, they and Yan Hai are both people in the same boat, and there are still three days left, so let's hurry up and complete the task. Thinking of this, Wu Wenguang's face was a little ugly, and he and Bai Mian Zhang hurriedly left, planning their next move.

"Yan Hai used to be a bandit leader, it seems that this Yan Hai is not as good as Mr. Ye Qu said. ”

I heard another shocking news. A robber leader doesn't quite match Ye Qu's benevolence, but everyone has their own secrets, and Yan Chuan is not interested in delving into it.

Before Yan Chuan could figure it out, Yan Hai walked out of the main hall and muttered to himself, "Someone sent ten gold coins again, and I think I have a lot of money on my body, but I can go and see it." ”

The act of collecting gold coins outside the city lord's mansion, Yan Chuan only said that the guard did it privately, but he didn't expect it to be Yan Hai's instructions, it seems that this Yan Hai is really a money fan, trying to collect money by all means.

Seeing Yan Hai walking in the direction of the waiting room, Yan Chuan no longer hesitated, crossed the rockery, and arrived with Yan Feng before Yan Hai.

Pretending to be nothing, Yan Chuan was sitting precariously, while Yan Feng stood beside him casually, waiting for Yan Hai to come in.

didn't wait long, and a person came into front of him, it was Yan Hai who came from the main hall.

Yan Hai walked into the waiting room, and when he saw two childish teenagers in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: "The two faces are very raw, it doesn't seem to be from Yucheng, I don't know if they are coming today, are they sending a message to the elders of the family or have other things?"

Standing up and arching his hand, Yan Chuan said: "My two brothers, when they first arrived in Yucheng today, they heard the name of the city lord and came to visit. ”

Yan Chuan didn't like this kind of clichΓ© very much, but he still finished it one by one.

"Oh?"

Hearing that Yan Chuan was from out of town, Yan Hai was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but look at these two teenagers with the same appearance again. The vicinity of this Yucheng is basically either mountains or water, and he also knows about the villages farther away, and he really hasn't heard of any family with two brothers who are twins, so let's ask first.

With a smile on his face, Yan Hai said politely: "I don't dare to be a virtuous name, it's just a rumor from the people in Yucheng." ”

After introducing each other's names, Yan Chuan really couldn't accept this kind of false scene, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, my two brothers heard that the city lord has a spiritual treasure in his hand..."

The smile on his face froze, and it turned out to be a spiritual object that coveted my hand. Yan Hai knew it in his heart, but his face was silent, he seemed very comfortable dealing with this kind of scene, and immediately changed his smile to laughter, "This kind of saying that the three of them become tigers can only deceive you people who have just arrived in Yucheng and don't know the truth." ”

From Yan Hai's expression, Yan Chuan couldn't find any flaws, and muttered in his heart, is it really just a rumor? No, whether it is true or not, as long as there is a clue, it cannot be easily given up.

Thinking of Yan Hai's greedy nature, Yan Chuan said loudly: "If the city lord has a spiritual object in his hand, I am willing to buy it with a rich gold coin." ”

"I really don't have a spiritual treasure in my hand, but if the little brother is interested, I can send someone to find it, and you can inform the little brother as soon as there is news. ”

This kind of empty vernacular, Yan Hai obviously often says. Of course, he couldn't waste his energy looking for spiritual objects for someone he didn't know and was so young, and even if he did, he would receive it in his pocket, and how could he tell others.

Yan Hai's words were beautiful, but it was impossible for Yan Chuan to demolish him, so he could only pretend to thank him, "In this case, then thank you to the city lord." ”

Here, there was no news of the spiritual object, and Yan Chuan didn't want to stay any longer, so he left directly.

It was another polite scene, Yan Hai kept it again and again, but in the end he couldn't keep Yanchuan and the others, so he could only say regretfully: "The two little brothers go slowly, I'll get together again another day." ”

"Someone, see off. Yan Hai shouted outside the door.

No one responded.

When the guards went to report the visit of Yanchuan and the others before, it happened that Wu Wenguang and Bai Mian came over, so Yan Hai held all the people around him back, and there was no one serving here at this time.

After a while, there was still no response, Yan Hai felt a little unbearable on his face, and was about to speak, Yan Chuan preemptively said: "My brothers and sisters can recognize the way out, don't bother, take your leave." ”

After speaking, Yan Chuan and Yan Feng walked out of the living room and walked towards the back door of the City Lord's Mansion with the route in their memory.

Seeing the two of them leave, Yan Hai changed his embarrassed face just now, his smile converged, and he fell into deep thought, these two people are not simple, at such an age, they are powerful when their arms swing, they are both cultivators, and they are very rich, so it is a good target to start with. They must not be allowed to leave Yucheng like this, thinking of this, Yan Hai's face became more and more gloomy......
