Chapter 140: Holy Martial Kingdom Spirit Void City
White clouds and dogs, time flies.
Mu Tong's master and servant walked in the streets of the Lingxu City of the Holy Martial Kingdom.
Now, it has been a month since their master and servant left the Mohai Kingdom. It's just that what they don't know is that when they stepped into Lingxu City, Li Kuang's father and son followed Li Shiye to the land of the Holy Martial Kingdom and entered the Iron Hero City.
"Young master, since the old man has sent a message that the second aunt doesn't know about Li Kuang's rebellion, why are you still in such a desperate hurry. Almost didn't exhaust me. ”
"You know what. Even if the second brother-in-law doesn't know about his father, it will reach his ears now, what do you let him think. I'm not afraid that he won't be able to think about it, so let Daddy keep an eye on him more. Don't freak out my niece. ”
Walking on the street, the dusty two became the object of avoidance by passers-by, and there was no way. The two of them really don't look very good now.
If it weren't for the fact that the horses of the two would be precious at first glance, they would not be treated as beggars.
"Young Master, hurry up, finally arrived in Lingxu City, don't you plan to visit the eldest lady like this?"
"Of course not. Hurry up and find a place for us to freshen up, take a rest by the way, and go to meet the Mu family steward in the evening, let them prepare some gifts, and then we will bring gifts to the door tomorrow. The Zhu family is also a big family, so you can't be rude. ”
"Okay young master. ”
Hearing that he could finally rest, Mo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, the young master obtained the whereabouts of the third lady a year ago in the Mujia shops in each city, and chased them all the way, but the whereabouts of the third miss did not see that there was anything wrong, and now there is only the eldest lady's house where the last third lady stayed.
Since the eldest lady's house left, the third young lady has disappeared, which is why the young master has to rush to Lingxu City in a hurry, he is afraid that the time will drag on for too long, and he will not be able to find the trace of the third young lady.
After all, a year has passed, and even those who saw Miss San at the beginning are afraid that they have almost forgotten it.
An hour later, Mu Tong and Mo Qing walked out of an inn, and after the two of them had been freshened up and changed into clean clothes, they finally regained their former freshness. A handsome boy walked down the street with a quirky scholar.
"Young master, shall we go directly to the store?"
"No, let's find a place to worship the Five Organs Temple first, and by the way, inquire about the news. It stands to reason that in order to take care of the eldest sister and the second sister who got married, my father set up a branch in the place where they were. But in the past few years, the branch of Lingxu City has not communicated very closely with the family, and even the profits handed over are not very large. This makes me a little uneasy. If it weren't for the fact that there was a medicinal herb shop of the Mu family in regular contact with the family, I would have wondered if something had happened here. So let's inquire about the news before deciding in what form to go to the Chamber of Commerce. After all, there are people like Mu Quanzhong in the royal capital, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so I am not surprised at all that a second Mu Quanzhong appears. Let's be careful. By the way, I also inquired about the situation of the Zhu family, to be honest, I was a little worried about the eldest sister, I couldn't look down on Zhu Lu's kid's temperament back then, the eldest sister was well-known and courteous, and treated people and generously, I really found it hard to believe that she could teach such a son, therefore, I was very suspicious of the Zhu family's style. ”
Mo Qing, who was following Mu Tong, looked at him stunned, and finally had to complain to him: "Young master, are you thinking too much." Although the young master is a little bearish, but the child, isn't it all like this? What's more, his Zhu family is said to be still a saint-martial family, and it is normal to be arrogant, otherwise how can he call it a bear child. It would be nice to grow up. What's more, with the eldest lady teaching, you are worried too much. ”
Mu Tong thought about it, but these days, the closer he got to Lingxu City, the more obvious the uneasiness in his heart became. Originally, he thought he was worried about the third sister, but when he heard the mythical legend of the third sister along the way, he was not worried.
The experience of his third sister is simply the protagonist in the script, and her experience is magical and wonderful. Except for the fact that the reputation is not very good, the other experiences are simply mythical.
The master and servant no longer dwelled on this topic, found a restaurant that looked quite lively, walked in, and went directly to the second floor.
Why not on the first floor? Because the first floor is generally a place where peddlers, pawns, merchants, or high-rollers will stay, and the second floor is where some merchants and gentry with capital like to stay. Of course, this is not absolute, but in general, most restaurants do.
The local wealthy family feels superior to others and likes to stay on the second and third floors, so if you want to inquire about the local wealthy family, it is generally right to go to the second and third floors. On the contrary, it is like listening to the rumors of the rivers and lakes on the first floor, and it will definitely be able to get something, because visitors from all over the world like to be on the first floor, not for anything else, just for convenience.
Mu Tong and Mo Qing found an empty table on the second floor and sat down, and after ordering, they began to pay attention to the other guests nearby.
Sure enough, not far away there was a table of guests who were obviously eating with the local gentry. And what they are talking about is exactly about the Zhu family.
"Brother Zhao, tomorrow is the day of the Zhu family's great joy, have you prepared a generous gift?"
I saw that at that table, a man who was obviously weaker than that Brother Zhao was holding a wine jug and pouring wine for that Brother Zhao, while asking him.
Brother Zhao didn't think much about it, picked up the full wine glass and took a sip, and then returned with a sigh.
"The generous gift is ready, but I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to go into the Zhu Mansion to have a bite of the banquet. ”
The man who asked the question was taken aback when he heard Brother Zhao's words, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Brother Zhao say this? Your Zhao family is also one of the richest families in this Lingxu City, how can you not be qualified to eat the Zhu family's banquet?"
The man surnamed Zhao put down his wine glass, looked at the man with a look of disbelief, and then said: "Brother Wang doesn't know, the Zhu family is a first-class martial arts family in our Shengwu Country, and the friends are all high-rollers in the rivers and lakes. But ordinary people like us, who are just a little copper smelly but have no strength, even if they have a family, they can't look down on them. But this gift has to be followed, if you don't follow the ceremony, people will say that you look down on him, and they will find you unlucky. ”
"Huh, this Zhu family is so domineering?"
"Domineering? Hmph, what is domineering? The city lord of this Lingxu City is the younger brother of the head of his Zhu family, and the Zhu family somehow annexed the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce a few years ago, and now the president of the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce is the son of the Zhu family, and he is making money every day. To be powerful and powerful, to have wealth and wealth. In addition, they are from a martial arts family, there are as many as five Heavenly Master Martial Artists alone, and it is rumored that there are also saint-level ancestors hidden in their family. Therefore, they were able to sit at the head of the three first-class families of Shengwu, and even His Majesty gave them three points, otherwise he Zhu Gaoshou would not be able to hold the position of city lord for many years. ”
