Chapter 42: The Beginning of the Crisis
But Chen Tao didn't know that there was already an undercurrent in this Jinyu City, and he was still sitting in the carriage, accompanied by two women from the city...... In my heart, I was thinking about the old Taoist priest......
Staring at the porcelain vase in his hand, he fell into deep thought, "Soul damage...... What's so hard about hurting the soul?"
The convoy continued to move forward, and Mei Sisi glanced at Chen Tao, who didn't know what he was thinking, and felt a little indescribable in his heart. I know my own beauty, no matter where I go over the years, there will always be young and handsome people to flatter him, but the Qin Gongzi in front of him just stared at the jade bottle in his hand, and he didn't look up at himself, as if it was a peerless beauty.
sighed, silently calculated the distance in his heart, thinking that he was about to arrive at the mansion, and slowly opened the car window.
Chen Tao was awakened from his contemplation by Mei Sisi's movements, and subconsciously looked out the window.
The convoy had reached a secluded place at some point, and there were no ordinary people around.
Confused, Chen Tao stared at the side of the street, where there were two blue-faced beast statues, and when his eyes turned slightly, he saw three green dragon jade carved gates, the main gate was not opened, and only the doors on both sides were guarded. Raise your eyes, see a plaque above the main entrance, the plaque is written "Jinyu City Lord's Mansion" five big characters, the mansion is surrounded by blue brick and vermilion tile courtyard walls, very luxurious.
A little surprised, Chen Tao thought that Mei Sisi would be the young lady of a certain big family, but he never thought that she would be the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Tao and Hongyue both frowned slightly, no matter what the City Lord's Mansion said, it was subordinate to the royal family, and it must have been involved with the forces of the Imperial City, but it was not as safe as some great families to come to them.
Chen Tao sighed, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that you have to be careful in the future...... The faces of me and Hongyue...... The red moon has grown more gorgeous, and there are some changes, and I am also very different from five years ago, and I am not close to people, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to recognize...... But there are many mystical methods in this world, and we need to be cautious to ......."
Hongyue's face changed for a moment, and she didn't speak, but silently pulled out the veil around her waist and slowly put it on.
"Qin Gongzi, Bai Girl, my mansion has arrived at the ......", paused, as if remembering something, Mei Sisi's eyes were a little sad, "My mother has been seriously ill, this time I don't say goodbye to be afraid of causing her to be sad again...... I will instruct them to take them to the other courtyard to rest for a while, and then visit them after I have seen my mother. ”
Chen Tao nodded when he heard this: "It should be like this, Miss Mei and visit Lord Lingtang first." ”
While speaking, the convoy had stopped, Chen Tao and the three got out of the car one after another, and the guards at the gate had already recognized the convoy, one person must have returned when he entered the door, and the rest greeted him respectfully.
"Miss. They all shouted respectfully, and then all eyes looked at Chen Tao and Hongyue curiously, to be precise...... His eyes were all fixed on the red moon, and Chen Tao almost just took it with him.
Chen Tao couldn't help but slander for a while, but he didn't speak, of course he knew the charm of the red moon, although he was lightly veiled, he was still amazingly lethal.
Mei Sisi waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, and ordered Yun'er, who got off the other carriage with strange eyes: "Take Gongzi Qin and the white girl to the Piaoxiang Courtyard to rest first, and be hospitable, don't be lazy." ”
"Yes, miss. Yun'er curtsied.
Mei Sisi nodded, turned to Chen Tao and Hongyue and bowed slightly: "Boy, girl, rest first, Mei Sisi will be absent first." ”
After Chen Tao and Hongyue nodded in understanding, they turned around and walked towards the mansion first.
After completing the handover, Yun'er glanced at Chen Tao with complicated eyes, and finally didn't say anything else, and bowed slightly: "Boy, girl, please come with me." ”
As soon as Chen Tao Hongyue entered the city lord's mansion, he was attracted by the elegant buildings and clear streams inside. Although it is not as beautiful as the Chenjiaxian Cave Mansion, the verandah of the chamber is all generous and chic, and the trees and rocks can be seen everywhere in the house, which are scattered.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yun'er's somewhat hurried voice from in front of him: "Meet Master Mei!
Chen Tao and Hongyue couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looked forward, and a group of people walked in front of them, led by an old man wearing a gray robe, with no extra ornaments all over his body, only the cuffs were embroidered with a palm-sized white "Dan" character, which was somewhat conspicuous.
Chen Tao couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he was surprised in his heart: "This is a soul master?"
There was a middle-aged man next to him, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his eyes were purple from time to time, this person was Mei Zhenglong, the city lord of Jinyu City. At this time, he followed the gray-robed man with some respect.
Hearing Yun'er's shout, a trace of unhappiness flashed on her face, presumably because she felt disturbed.
Before he could scold a few words, he saw a man and a woman behind him, and he was slightly stunned.
When he saw the people who came, especially the appearance of the red moon, he secretly said in his heart: "It's not good!"
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the gray-robed man beside him was seeing a faint green light in his eyes at this time, and his throat kept rolling, thinking that he was swallowing his saliva violently......
Mei Zhenglong felt a little helpless in his heart, and said secretly: "This old pervert, the problem has been committed again!"
The soul master in front of him is famous for being lustful, if you want to ask him for a soul pill, in addition to money, you have to pay some young ladies and girls, no matter how bad it is, you have to go to the most famous "Dark Fragrance Pavilion" in the Willow Lane of Zhonghua Street in Jinyu City to invite the top girl...... After he is happy to play, he will help people refine the soul pill.
However, this person is also the highest-ranking soul master in Jinyu City, and he is a third-order soul master. The status is too lofty, on weekdays, all of them flatter him, and many people dare not speak out, after all, they still have to ask for him...... So they can only do what they like.
Mei Zhenglong sighed secretly, he had already tried his best to send away the girls who were a little beautiful, and he had also arranged the girls of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion...... It's just that where did these two people come from, looking at the faces, I'm afraid that they will be in trouble......
"You're Sisi's maid, aren't you?Why don't you follow Miss well, what are you walking around?", Mei Zhenglong took a step forward and reprimanded, and then turned his eyes to Chen Tao and the others, "Who are these two people?"
"These two are the distinguished guests that the young lady met on the way, and they are ...... Special order Yun'er took it to the east of the fragrant courtyard to rest. Yun'er said with some trepidation.
Chen Tao and Hongyue bowed slightly.
Mei Zhenglong nodded, quietly glanced at the soul master who was still in a daze, and said, "Since you are a guest of Miss, you can take it first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the soul master next to him suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes! It's a distinguished guest! Don't hurry up and lead the way!"
Yun'er was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!"
glanced at Mei Zhenglong, saw that he didn't say anything, and raised his hand after saluting to signal Chen Tao Hongyue to walk to the other side of the road.
After Chen Tao Hongyue gave up her hand again, she didn't say much, and disappeared into the trail with Yun'er.
Looking at the backs of the two, a trace of complexity flashed in Mei Zhenglong's eyes, sighed, and said in his heart: "It's over, I'm afraid this girl is going to suffer......
Just as he was thinking about it, Mei Zhenglong felt that his shoulder was patted, but he saw the soul master's intoxicated expression: "Okay, old man Mei, I didn't expect you to know my appetite so well, so beautiful...... I haven't been so excited in a long time!"
Mei Zhenglong's heart was even more bitter, and he said stubbornly: "Zhu Soul Master...... I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, I don't know these two, it's the first time I've met, I guess it's really a friend that the little girl met outside......"
Hearing this, the soul master's eyes slowly changed from excitement to gloomy: "Old man Mei, what do you mean?"
"This ......", Mei Zhenglong showed a wry smile and said: "This girl is really not from my house......
"Hmph, wasn't he from your mansion before!Isn't it now? People are in your mansion, how can they not use even a little trick!", a trace of evil flashed in Zhu Soul Master's eyes.
The corners of Mei Zhenglong's mouth became even more bitter, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, and said bitterly in his heart: "What a sin! Could it be that I, Mei Zhenglong, really want to sacrifice other women's women in order to save my wife?"
He didn't know what to do for a while......
