Chapter Eighty-Eight: The City Lord's Banquet
"What's wrong?"
"See for yourself." Dongfang Shaoqing threw away an invitation. Shao Xuan took it.
"He's inviting us to the City Lord's Mansion to attend his big birthday." It's just that they are all coming to Xijun City for the first time, and they don't have much communication with the City Lord's Mansion, so how can they come and invite them?
"Well, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Dongfang Shaoqing said softly. His deep gaze fell on the letter.
Shao Xuan looked at it word by word. It always feels wrong.
"Why did you invite us?" Again, Shao Xuan was confused. Dongfang Shaoqing also sat on the chair and had nothing to say.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."
"Do you know our intentions this time?" Shaoxuan spoke again, wondering if the city lord knew that it was a few of them last night.
"I don't know."
"It's only half a month before his birthday. Does it mean that the gates of the West County City are not opened? ”
Shao Xuan had to think more, what is this? The lord of the city suddenly gave them a post. Besides, they are just people from the rivers and lakes, where can they have anything to do with the lord of a city?
"No, his purpose won't be that simple, let's see what he means."
Dongfang Shaoqing opened his mouth coldly. For a while, Shao Xuan also followed his thoughts.
"That's not, I also want to see what the city lord of this West County City wants to do."
Shao Xuan pinched the post in his hand and put it on the table. When Shaoxuan went out for a meal, someone even came to him. It's the one who gave them the post of the lord of the city.
But how did you find them?
"Who did he post to? I'm afraid it's a Hongmen feast. Shao Xuan said silently.
"Kuroko." Dongfang Shaoqing didn't respond to Shaoxuan's words, but called the sunspot out.
"Master." Dongfang Shaoqing's words fell, and the figure of Heizi knelt in front of him.
"Go and find out who the City Lord's Mansion has posted to?"
"Yes, master."
Kuroko's figure left the house again. Shao Xuan's face also sank. I'm also thinking about a post.
Dongfang Shaoqing had an extra book in front of him. I think he just saw it. At this time, he grabbed the book on the table again without any expression. The gaze fell on the book. Don't worry about it at all. Shaoxuan looked at Dongfang Shaoqing's appearance.
"You're not worried?" I couldn't help but ask him, this product is too leisurely. Didn't care at all.
"Worried about what?" Who knows, Dongfang Shaoqing asked him without raising his head, but this sentence asked Shaoxuan. It seems to be the same, when did Dongfang Shaoqing panic when he encountered something? The panicked were both them and Lou Jun.
It's just that this time, Shao Xuan always feels that things are not simple. There must be a conspiracy, and a big conspiracy is spreading out against them. is surrounding them step by step. Even he and Dongfang Shaoqing were wrapped into it.
"Dongfang, when I went to the City Lord's Mansion last night, he deliberately let us in. I guess every time we go by, he knows, just hides in the shadows and watches what we're going to do. ”
Shao Xuan suddenly felt that they were all being treated as monkeys by the city lord.
"He's not your simpler." Dongfang Shaoqing still said this, how could the city lord be so simple?
It's impossible.
"The four of you met Xiao Xia last night, and it's a great luck to be back." Dongfang Shaoqing's words came lightly. It's just that he never took his eyes off the book he was holding.
Shao Xuan also felt that his life was really too big. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xia could come back alive.
He felt that what Dongfang Shaoqing said was very reasonable. It's better to really pay attention to what you do in the future, otherwise you won't know how he died. The water in the rivers and lakes is too deep, no, it should be said that the water in Xijun is too deep. and the same is true of the Li family's Second Master Li, but I don't know if Second Master Li has found them now.
"It's all my lack of consideration." Shao Xuan obediently admitted his mistake, it was originally his fault. shouldn't be too anxious to follow Su Ci and they just went like that.
Although it is true that he is worried about Su Ci, he is afraid that he will not go to the East.
"Next time, you should go back to the Demon Sect and come out of the building." Dongfang Shaoqing dropped these words lightly. Usually they are joking, but now Shaoxuan knows that Dongfang Shaoqing is serious, and he is not joking.
Shao Xuan's face was a little unnatural, it was the first time he had made such a low-level mistake. was also told by Dongfang Shaoqing, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time, I won't do it again."
At the moment, you can only answer honestly.
I don't know that the black shadow hidden in the dark has already laughed strangely, it is the first time he has seen Shaoxuan like this, usually Shaoxuan has not treated him badly, but he has always seen Shaoxuan gentle and gentle, gentlemanly style, I didn't expect to be criticized by Dongfang Shaoqing.
"You're idle?" Shaoxuan saw that Dongfang Shaoqing had been staring at the book since he came in, except for the action of taking the book just now, how idle was this?
I even had time to read a book. This is what Shao Xuan wants to say the most.
"You're idle?" Dongfang Shaoqing said this to him, and asked Shaoxuan's words back.
"Guess?" Shaoxuan is still the same. After what he said just now, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
"If you don't go out to your porcelain, what are you doing here?" Dongfang Shaoqing can really speak.
Your porcelain? Dongfang Shaoqing's heart was a little uncomfortable, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't help it if he was uncomfortable.
"I want to go out. Do you want to be together? Shaoxuan asked.
"Where?"
"Out of town. Banker. Shaoxuan glanced at Dongfang Shaoqing and saw that he still didn't speak.
"Gone." At that moment, he left with these words.
After Shaoxuan went out, he didn't leave directly, but went to find Su Ci.
But Su Ci is still immersed in the things that Wang Shu has not seen, and she is a little sad. When Shaoxuan came knocking on the door.
Su Ci didn't want to go, but I heard that I was going to Zhuangshang, and finally agreed, since the closure of Xijun City, Su Ci has not gone out. It's been boring all the time, in the city.
Wang Shu, who Su Ci was worried about, has now been rescued and woke up in a room. She looked at the situation in confusion, thinking that it was the City Lord's Mansion, and when she waited for her to come out, Wang Shu knew that it was not the City Lord's Mansion. There was a man looking at Wang Shu condescendingly, Wang Shu was also looking at him, puzzled for a while, thinking that he was in the city lord's mansion, and his heart instantly became vigilant against this handsome and extraordinary man.
"What, that's what happened to your savior?" The man saw the vigilance in Wang Shu's eyes, and said as if he was joking.
"Benefactor? Am I not in the City Lord's Mansion? When Wang Shu heard the man's words, she was stunned for a moment, was she rescued? His face changed his expression.
"Or else?" The man said disdainfully.
"Thank you, benefactor." Wang Shu opened her mouth excitedly, looking at the man's eyes with kindness and gratitude.
"You're welcome." The man wanted to say, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to bother Porcelain, would he have made so much effort to save an irrelevant person?
If you want more, thank her if Su Ci is there, and let Su Ci treat her as a sister.
"I didn't ask the name of the benefactor." Wang Shu spoke respectfully.
At this time, there was something more in her heart.
I didn't expect her to be rescued, but what is the conspiracy of the person who rescued her?
Thinking of this, Wang Shu definitely didn't believe that the purpose of this person who rescued her was so simple. Did she get out of a pit and into another one?
"Don't be so vigilant, my name is Xuan Shaoqi, and I am Su Ci's senior brother." Xuan Shaoqi looked at Wang Shu's appearance and spoke softly.
He was originally gentle, and when Wang Shu saw Xuan Shaoqi for the first time, he felt that this person was definitely not a kind person. Maybe it's eating people without spitting out bones.
"It turned out to be the elder brother of Porcelain, thank you Xuan Gongzi for coming to the rescue." Wang Shu is really grateful this time, Xuan Shaoqi turned out to be Su Ci's senior brother, so it shouldn't be anything to her. Maybe it was Su Ci who called out to save her.
Wang Shu's idea was really wrong, Xuan Shaoqi just didn't want Su Ci to go to the City Lord's Mansion to take risks again, and he was about to leave Xijun City and return to Cloud City, and it might be a month later when he came back.
"If you want to thank you, thank Ci'er to go, I only made a move at the request of Porcelain." Xuan Shaoqi said softly.
"Yes." Wang Shu is very grateful to Su Ci in the bottom of her heart. I didn't expect that she would meet her nobleman.
"Okay, you also get up, and leave Xijun, the City Lord's Mansion is now looking for your head outside. Go out and pay attention, Porcelain, I've already brought her a message, so you don't have to go back to tell her. ”
Xuan Shaoqi finished his words at one time. Then they also went out of the house.
Wang Shu sat on the bed and touched her forehead, which was a little painful.
"Girl, this is the antidote that our son sent you."
A slave walked in from outside the door and spoke respectfully to Wang Shu.
"This is ......" Wang Shu looked at the small white bottle in the slave's hand, and was puzzled for a while, this is the antidote? By the way, she was in the City Lord's Mansion last night, and it seemed that she was forcibly fed medicine by the City Lord, and then she was unconscious, and it was only now that Wang Shu was really sure that she had been rescued. If he hadn't been rescued, the consequences of staying in the City Lord's Mansion would have been unimaginable.
"Childe asked the slave to tell you that this is the antidote to the non-dispersible poison in the girl's body. Take once a day and you'll be fully recovered in 3 days. ”
The servant spoke softly, and Wang Shu was really shocked when he heard the name of this antidote. No loose ..... Isn't this a poison that appeared on the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago and can dissipate all martial arts in the human body? I didn't expect this city lord to be so vicious, he actually fed her this thing.
Could it be that she is weak now, and her internal strength is not strong at all. If she hadn't been rescued, then she would really be gone for the rest of her life.
This is the truest thought in Wang Shu's heart, she is better off than dead. Looking at the intentions of the city lord, it is obvious. If she wants to curry favor with the enemy and survive, then she would rather die.
"Where is your son?" Wang Shu hurriedly asked the slave.
"Our son-in-law is ready to go out now."
As soon as the slave's words fell, he only felt that a strong wind was blowing next to him, and after that, Wang Shu had already chased out the door. The slave looked at the door.
When Wang Shu went out to the door, she found that this was a courtyard, and she didn't have time to look at the things here. Drag the somewhat clumsy body and trot down the promenade.
When he walked to the end of the corridor, Wang Shu finally saw Xuan Shaoqi who was about to go out. She hurried over.
His eyes were red, and he panted and came to Xuan Shaoqi's side.
As soon as the sound of "poof....." sounded, Wang Shu's knees had already touched the ground. Xuan Shaoqi saw Wang Shu's figure chasing after him, and quietly waited for Wang Shu to live out. Unexpectedly, Wang Shu knelt down as soon as he chased him, which really scared Xuan Shaoqi.
"Girl, you don't have to make such a big salute, get up, get up."
Xuan Shaoqi hurriedly leaned over and helped Wang Shu up. But Wang Shu knelt down like this.
"Save Childe's life." Wang Shu opened her mouth a little choked.
She is now homeless, and she still has revenge. But she can't. She is a weak woman, where did she get the force to kill all those who killed her family?
Now that he is being hunted down, Wang Shu is almost incapable of escaping.
