258 The prince of Wu
Pedestrians on the road saw the procession dodging to both sides, and some recognized their origin from the large banner held high in the hands of the pacesetter.
"Isn't this King Wu's army, why did you come to Maple Leaf City?"
"It seems that only the crown prince and nobles can ride in that carriage, is the rumor true?"
"What rumors"
"Didn't you hear that the prince of King Wu is coming to Maple Leaf City to help us fight against the demons. It's good now, with the help of King Wu's army, we don't have to worry about the demon army anymore, and when our county king comes back in a few days, we guarantee that we can kill none of the demon cubs outside the city."
"Well, that's great. ”
In the chariot, Wu Rulong, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was reclining on the soft couch, and two young and charming dancers were waiting on the left and right, hearing the discussion outside, the young and smooth, not ugly, but slightly sallow face due to excessive wine showed a satisfied smile.
"Manager Xu, how far is Maple Leaf City?"
"Your Royal Highness, it's right ahead. An old man sitting opposite Wu Rulong in a moon-white robe with a thin face replied, "It's only five miles at most." ”
"The letter must have been delivered to the city a long time ago. Wu Rulong put his hand into a maid's clothes, rubbed it gently, and said lazily.
"It was delivered a long time ago. The thin old man glanced at Wu Rulong's hand, and stopped talking.
"Since it has been delivered a long time ago, why didn't you see the person who greeted this son" Wu Rulong said coldly, "This son of the world came thousands of miles to Maple Leaf City to help King Liang resist the demon army, then Wang Qiang, a small city lord, did not go out of the city to greet him, the shelf is not small, it seems that if you don't give him some color to see, I don't know how powerful this son is"
"Your Royal Highness, there are people and horses in front of you, as if they are a team in the city to greet you. A guard outside the carriage shouted.
"Oh" Wu Rulong smiled with satisfaction, "It seems that this Wang Qiang is quite recognizable." ”
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and a loud voice came into the chariot.
"Zhou Qi, the deputy general of Maple Leaf City, was ordered by the city lord to welcome the prince into the city. ”
"Adjutant General" Wu Rulong stood upside down when he heard the voice, and his face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, "Your city lord is so big, I am a dignified prince of the prince, and I only sent a deputy general who can't get on the stage to greet him, hmph, it seems that he, the city lord, has done it." ”
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. Zhou Qi's voice came in again, "The city lord failed to greet him in person, it is definitely not because he deliberately ignores the dignity of His Royal Highness the prince, but because a demon army suddenly appeared outside the city last night, the city lord took the city soldiers to chase and suppress it and has not returned yet, and now the demon army is rampant, the situation is special, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to understand, and when the city lord returns, he will definitely ask His Royal Highness the Prince to plead in person." ”
Zhou Qi's words clearly reached Wu Rulong's ears, but the anger on his face did not diminish in the slightest: "Just because you Maple Leaf City, a group of guerrilla generals also want to hunt down and kill the demon army, I think it's almost the same as sending them to death." ”
The guards around him let out a laugh.
"His Royal Highness. A trace of anger appeared in Zhou Qi's eyes, remembering the instructions of the city lord when he was leaving, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said respectfully, "Please enter the city with the general." ”
"Let's go, then. Wu Rulong leaned on the soft couch again, and the dancing girl in his arms obediently stuffed a fruit into his mouth.
The thin old man finally couldn't help it, and reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, you are about to enter the city now, please be more restrained, and don't forget the purpose of our visit to Maple Leaf City." ”
"Got it. Wu Rulong waved his hand impatiently, "This son knows in his heart, doesn't it take three days for King Liang's reinforcements to enter the city." ”
The thin old man didn't speak again, and slowly closed his eyes.
The group gradually passed through the city gate, and saw that thousands of troops suddenly came to the city, and both sides of the road were soon surrounded by onlookers, Wu Rulong was lying in the car and heard the noisy cheers outside, and his face gradually showed a smug look, and at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, why don't you leave" Wu Rulong frowned.
"His Royal Highness, an auction is being held in front, the road is blocked, and Zhou Qi is evacuating the crowd. The head of the guards outside the car replied.
"Auction" Wu Rulong frowned, "Aren't auctions held in special auction halls, how can they be moved to the street, take a copy of the list of auction items, this world wants to see what treasures this little Maple Leaf City has." ”
"Yes"
The head of the guard agreed, and it wasn't long before a twine booklet was handed from outside the carriage.
Wu Rulong opened the booklet and looked at it casually, his face full of disdain and contempt, but when his eyes fell on the last page, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Azure Bull Python's Python Skin"
The thin old man on the other side, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, also opened his eyes when he heard this.
"Old Xu, haven't you always wanted to make a set of close-fitting imperial clothes for this son, and now you finally have the materials, this is it" Wu Rulong excitedly pushed away the maid who was in his arms.
The thin old man stretched out his hand to take the booklet in Wu Rulong's hand, and a fine light appeared in his dim eyes, "It's really an Azure Bull Python, great, it seems that this trip to Maple Leaf City has an unexpected gain." ”
"Go quickly, tell the owner of the auction, and say that this python skin is for this world. ”
The guard said yes and ran out, and after a while he returned.
"Your Highness, the little one just went to ask the director of the venue, this python skin is not sold for money. ”
"If you don't sell it for money, do you want to give it to this son to count him as acquaintance?"
"Your Highness, this is not the case, the person in charge said that although all the things auctioned here are not sold for money, they need to be exchanged for military merits, and this python skin is designated to only be exchanged for the head of a demon army general named Luo Lin. ”
Wu Rulong paused for a moment, and suddenly became interested, "The auction items were actually exchanged for military merits, but they are fresh, you go and tell the principal here, just say that this son came to Maple Leaf City to help them kill the demon army, as for military merits, under the thousand elites of my Wu country, it is not how many are right, and when you come back, bring the python skin together." ”
"Yes"
This time, the leader of the guards left a little longer, and when he returned, although he was holding a python skin in his arms, he was followed by seven or eight disciples of the One Yuan Sect, and the leader was the young cultivator Ye Haotian had seen.
Seeing this scene through the car window, Wu Rulong frowned, "What's the matter?"
Without waiting for the leader of the guards to speak, the young cultivator stopped in front of the car, bowed and said, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, Zheng Ping, a disciple of the Yiyuan Sect, has saluted you." ”
"Yiyuan Sect, what is this" Wu Rulong looked at the thin old man in front of him.
"It's a third-rate sect in Maple Leaf City. The thin old man said, "The sect master is said to be a martial artist in the early stage of the Four Realms. ”
"Early stage of the Four Realms" Wu Rulong pursed his lips disdainfully, and shouted outside the car, "Is there something wrong?"
Tianjin.
