Chapter 53: In the Dark Alley
With the sunset, Meng Changsheng and the two finally came to Yihong City.
"It's a bustling city." Looking at the street illuminated by candles twice, Meng Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
"That's, let's find an inn to settle down in, and then I'll take you to have a good look at Yihong City."
"Then it's troublesome Sister Zhang." Meng Changsheng nodded, and then followed Zhang Shuqin to the door of a very luxurious-looking inn.
Looking at the splendid palace-like house, Meng Changsheng's heart was a little stunned, how much does it cost to stay for one night.
"That, Sister Zhang, let's change one."
Zhang Shuqin saw that Meng Changsheng's expression was a little wrong, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong with Boss Meng?" ”
"I don't think this feng shui is good." Meng Changsheng said nonsense.
"Alright then, I'll show you something else."
After saying that, Zhang Shuqin walked in the other direction, and Meng Changsheng followed behind her contentedly, but what he didn't see was that Zhang Shuqin took out a communication token from a strange place, and he didn't know who he was communicating with.
…………
Yihong City, the City Lord's Mansion, a woman in red was staring at the teleportation token in front of her with a frown.
This woman is the city lord of Yihong City, Hongying, just now, she received a summons from an important person.
The content is that she demolished an inn called Yuelai in the south of the city, on the grounds that the feng shui is not good.
It's nothing, it's just an inn, and if it's demolished, it's demolished, but then the person sent several messages, the content is similar to before, all of which asked her to demolish the inn, and the reasons are even more strange.
The stone lion at the door is too ugly, the steps are too high, and there is even a reason that the lights are too flashy.
Although that person helped him ascend to the position of city lord and still controlled her life and death, it couldn't be so excessive! So, she decided to do what the man said.
There is no way, after all, her life is in the hands of Zhang Shuqin.
"Someone." Red Tassel put away the teleportation token and shouted out the door.
"The subordinates are here."
Hongying manipulated the pen on the desk and wrote the names of the inns on the paper.
"You will seal up these inns, and then ask someone to demolish them early tomorrow morning, and I will go out for a while, and you will send me a message about something, you know?"
"My subordinates understand."
Hongying nodded, then came to the window and flew in the direction of the south of the city.
On the other side, Meng Changsheng looked at the ordinary inn in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, this inn should look quite cheap.
He stepped forward and tapped lightly on the door.
Knock knock!
"Here we are." An old voice came from inside the door.
Crunch~
The door opened, and an old man with gray hair greeted him.
Meng Changsheng looked at this old man and was quietly a little surprised in his heart, this person was so old, he could still straighten his waist and look like a fairy wind and bones.
It seems that this person must be unusual.
And the old man saw Meng Changsheng staring at him tightly, and he felt a little strange in his heart, what happened to this young man? Why do you keep staring at him, a 79-year-old man?
"Hello? Are you here to stay? ”
"Yes." Listening to the old man's words, Meng Changsheng reacted and hurriedly replied.
"Then come in." The old man stepped aside and invited Meng Changsheng to enter it.
Meng Changsheng was just about to enter the door, but was preempted by Zhang Shuqin behind him, looking at her back, Meng Changsheng shook his head with a smile, and walked into it closely.
The room was dark, with only an inferior glow-in-the-dark stone glowing overhead.
Meng Changsheng looked around, and then said to the old man, "Old man, is there still a room?" Open two rooms for us. ”
The old man came to the recliner in front of the counter and sat down, took a sip of the tea on the table next to him, and said slowly: "Yes, there are no guests staying in the hotel now, you go upstairs directly, and when you finish choosing the room, come down and talk to me." ”
Meng Changsheng nodded, and then walked upstairs, Zhang Shuqin followed closely behind her, for some reason, from just now to now, she has not spoken.
Coming upstairs, Meng Changsheng chose the room near the stairs, opened the door, and entered it.
"It's so ordinary." Meng Changsheng said with feeling.
The room is fully equipped, what do you want, but it just gives people a sense of mediocrity, obviously it is an inn, the old man is good, this room is good, there is no characteristic.
"No wonder no one lives, right here, Sister Zhang, what do you think?"
"I... Both. Zhang Shuqin's face was flushed, and her voice replied a little unnaturally.
Meng Changsheng nodded, the dim light did not make him notice Zhang Shuqin's abnormality.
"Okay, I'll go down and pay the money, Sister Zhang, are you going to go out with me for a walk, or do you want to rest here?"
"One... Zhang Shuqin gritted her teeth and struggled to spit out two words from her mouth, she felt terrible now.
I didn't feel anything outside just now, but for some reason, the moment she stepped into the door, the old man's body suddenly exuded an extremely terrifying coercion.
And Meng Changsheng next to her was the same, suddenly burst out with a powerful force, and the two momentum canceled each other out, which did not let Zhang Shuqin be overwhelmed.
But something even more uncomfortable came, these two momentum kept colliding and entanglement in the air, making her dizzy, and it was a little difficult for her to even speak.
This situation lasted until the moment when Meng Changsheng finished paying and walked out of the door of the inn.
"Huh~" Zhang Shuqin stood at the door of the inn and exhaled a long breath.
She didn't expect that there would be a peerless powerhouse comparable to Meng Changsheng in this mortal world, and the two seemed to be talking, but in fact, they were secretly fighting with momentum.
Just when she wanted to ask Meng Changsheng who the old man was, a figure suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
"Boss Meng, I'm going to buy some personal belongings here, you can go shopping by yourself first." After speaking, without waiting for Meng Changsheng's reply, he walked forward quickly and disappeared into the crowd.
Meng Changsheng looked at her departing back and shrugged his shoulders, "There is no tour guide, I will just take a stroll, I hope I don't get lost." ”
With that, he also walked forward.
And the inn behind him, after he left, was covered with a thick layer of white mist, looking out of place with the surrounding environment, the pedestrians on the road were still walking on their own, and they didn't notice this scene.
On the other side, in a deep alley, Zhang Shuqin looked at the red tassel half-kneeling in front of him, and slowly spoke: "Is there anything to do with me?" ”
"My subordinates don't understand, why do you want to demolish those inns?"
"He doesn't look good, so I'll tear it down, what's the problem?" Zhang Shuqin waved his hand and replied indifferently.
