Chapter 1227: The City Lord of the White Horse Pass
When the moon was on the branches, Richard and the others happened to come to the White Horse Pass, stood in the crowd and entered the city, and as soon as they walked through the city gate, they saw a group of catchers riding on horses on the street in front of them towards the city gate.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, drive!"
The crowd hid on both sides of the street, for fear that if they hid slowly, they would become unjust ghosts under the horse's hooves. Richard stood in the crowd and watched the group of hunters gallop past on their horses, his gaze resting for a moment on the middle-aged man at the head.
He had a beard, a dark complexion, thick arms holding the reins, protruding joints on his hands, and many calluses on his knuckles. Not only that, although the clothes on his body are similar to those of the catchers behind him, they are more exquisite and majestic, this middle-aged man should be the head catcher in the White Horse Pass.
After the team was about to leave, Dongfang Weiming whispered to the people beside him: "May I ask, what happened to these officials and masters in such a hurry to get out of the customs this big night?" ”
A young man beside Dongfang Weiming whispered, "You don't know? We have a catcher in Baima Pass, and someone was killed in the Phoenix Temple outside the gate! The city lord was very angry when he heard the news, and immediately took people to the Phoenix Temple. At that time, the catcher took our catchers from Baima Pass out of the customs and went to the villages, and I guess they must have just returned and received the order, and they rushed over immediately. ”
"If you want me to say, this murderer is really bold. Since the current city lord of Baima Pass took office, no one has ever made trouble in Baima Pass, this person dares to kill the capture of Baima Pass, this is not Tai Sui's head... Well? What about people? ”
Richard and the others shuttled through the crowd all the way, and finally came to the south of Baima Pass. The phoenix feather in his arms had become extremely hot at this time, and even with Richard's physique, he felt a little unbearable.
After following Feng Yu's instructions in the south of the city for a long time, everyone finally came to an alley, and when they looked around, they saw three families in the alley lit with candles, and when they walked to the courtyard of the nearest house, Richard suddenly stopped and looked straight into the courtyard.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look towards the courtyard, and saw a child sitting on the ground, playing with a square wooden block in his hand, on which several lines were drawn horizontally and vertically, and the squares were large and small. Each square is messily drawn with some patterns.
After looking at it for a while, they didn't see any mystery in the wooden block in the child's hand, and they couldn't help but look at Richard curiously, wondering why he was staring at such an ordinary wooden block so distractedly.
Although this wooden block is ordinary, the pattern drawn on the wooden block is not ordinary at all! Among them, the patterns in several of the grids were impressive, and they were exactly the patterns on the phoenix box that Wanwan gave him!
Richard coughed lightly and said to the child, "This little friend, what are you holding in your hand?" Why does it seem so strange? ”
The childish boy glanced up at Richard, sniffed and said, "I'm not called Xiaoyou, I'm called Da Niu." This is what I made according to Erya's new toy, she can move, but I can't. ”
As he spoke, Da Niu picked up the wooden square in his hand and rotated it, "It's just like that, it's amazing!" ”
When Richard heard this, he immediately concluded in his heart that the new toy in the mouth of the childish boy in front of him was undoubtedly the phoenix box!
"So big cow, where is Erya's house?"
Da Niu pointed to the courtyard beside him, lowered his head and continued to play with the wooden block in his hand. Richard walked forward to the courtyard gate next door, and the temperature of the phoenix feather in his arms instantly rose to a higher level, to the point of unbearable.
Richard's face changed slightly, and said, "Ah Dark, the phoenix box should be in the hands of the children of this family." You go and find a way to take out the phoenix box, and I won't go in. ”
Dongfang Weiming nodded, took a few steps forward and knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and walked into the courtyard. Richard couldn't help but take out the phoenix feather, only to see that the phoenix feather was golden, the light illuminated the entire alley, dazzling and incomparably blind, and what was even more terrifying was its high temperature, it was like a small sun!
Li Xuanxuan and the others couldn't help but take a few steps back, and Richard's face changed, and he took out an iron box made of dark iron and immediately put it away.
The tin box quickly turned red and was extremely hot. Fortunately, the iron box hindered Feng Yu's light and was no longer so dazzling.
"This phoenix feather alone is a big test for ordinary players."
Richard smiled bitterly, and there was a sudden soft knock on the door of the courtyard in front of him, and he saw Dongfang Weiming walking out with a square wooden box.
When Dongfang Weiming walked out of the courtyard, the temperature of the tin box in Richard's hand suddenly dropped. This surprised him, who had already mobilized his internal strength to resist the high temperature, and couldn't help but open the iron box to take a look, only to see that Feng Yu had returned to its original appearance!
Richard breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The eagle head said that the closer the phoenix feather is to the phoenix box, the higher the temperature, and it doesn't look like that's all the same. ”
Li Guancheng stared at the wooden box in Dongfang Weiming's hand, only to see that this wooden box was a little different from the ordinary wooden box, it was square, it was composed of small square wooden blocks one by one, there were thirty-six small wooden blocks on each side, and there were many different fragmentary patterns on the wooden blocks.
"Brother, this is the phoenix box?"
"Yes, this is the phoenix box."
A voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley, and everyone, including Richard, was shocked and turned their heads at the same time, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a middle-aged man who did not look angry and arrogant was standing at the mouth of the alley, and when his eyes swept over the phoenix box in Dongfang Weiming's hand, a greedy color flashed in his eyes.
Behind him stood the group of catchers who had just left the city, the one who was riding on the horse, and was standing behind him with low eyebrows!
The purple-robed middle-aged man said slowly: "You let the eagle head report to the official, saying that you have run to the northeast, it is indeed a good plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." If it weren't for the light of the phoenix feather just now, I might really have fallen for you. ”
Richard's heart moved, and he suddenly guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, frowned and asked, "White Horse Pass City Lord?" ”
The purple-robed middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Wrong, I'm not the City Lord of Baima Pass." The lord of Hakuba Pass and his subordinates died on their way to office, and I just used him as a pretext. I don't remember my old name, but my current name is Xunfeng. ”
Richard smiled: "Looking for a phoenix? A big man actually took a woman's name. ”
The purple-robed middle-aged man said lightly: "Finding the phoenix is my lifelong dream, and when I find the phoenix, I will have a new name." ”
"What?"
The purple-robed middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Kill the phoenix!" ”
