Chapter Seventy-Four: Help Me
When he came to the door, Wang Shoucai said embarrassedly: "He Shao, Bai Ye, the small one can only send you here, I can't enter this city lord's compound." ”
Bai Piaopiao wanted to say something, but He Shuai stopped him and hugged Wang Shoucai and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Wang, the rest will be left to us, you can go back first." ”
Wang Shoucai made another gesture and ran away as if fleeing for his life.
"Brother Bai, what are you always bullying him for?" When Wang Shoucai disappeared from sight, he asked Bai Piaopiao with a smile.
Bai Piaopiao was angry, and scolded with a smile: "This old bastard, when he was doing business with me, he boasted about how powerful he was in Burning Snow City, and he went in and out of the General's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion as if it were a no-man's land. Today, I am embarrassed to be in front of so many people. ”
"Huh." He Shuai didn't say anything anymore, and walked towards the gate of the city lord's mansion. Bai Piaopiao didn't dare to relax, his purpose was to protect the safety of the young city lord, so he hurriedly followed.
"Stop, who are you!" The four guards guarding the gate blocked their way with weapons in their hands.
"Are you blind? I didn't see it was the city lord of Floating Maple City coming! Don't report it soon. Bai Piaopiao asked sharply.
"City Lord, from Piaofeng City?" The guard who was the first to ask was puzzled, but seeing that He Shuai did have the title of city lord on his head, this can't be faked.
"Don't go and report it yet!" Bai Piaopiao shouted angrily.
Although several guards were shocked by his morale, they were not stupid, and the other guard still asked in a low voice: "How did you enter the city, we haven't received any news that your city lord is coming, did the city lord bring you an entourage?" ”
Bai Piaopiao was amused by this inquisitive little soldier, and said with a smile: "We can enter by our own means, do you have to get your consent before you do anything, how many times did he go to the thatched house today?" Besides, uncle, I have the courage to be unsuitable, and it's easy to clean up a few of you......"
He Shuai was afraid that Bai Piaopiao would continue to speak, so he really moved his hand, hurriedly pulled him away, and smiled at the four little soldiers: "My visit today is indeed a kind invitation from your city lord, and I was abrupt without notice in advance." I also bothered a few soldiers to report it, don't delay the important thing. ”
was sneered at by Bai Piaopiao before, but now that the city lord spoke softly, several guards naturally had a feeling of a little thinner, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, and one of the guards answered and said to his companions: "You guys are so good to greet the city lord, I'll go and report!" As he spoke, he ran briskly into the mansion.
He didn't say this to let a few colleagues really eat and drink to greet the two, but to let them watch each other closely and not cause trouble again.
However, his efficiency is indeed quite high, and after a cup of tea, he has already run back out of breath: "And the city lord, please, our city lord is already waiting for you in the hall." ”
The three small soldiers guarding the door heard what their companions said, and they knelt down and saluted one after another, in the Tang Dynasty, the city lords were no matter how big or small, and the official rank was the same. As soldiers, when they saw someone of the same rank as their master, they naturally bowed down.
He Shuai and Bai Piaopiao entered the official residence with the little soldier who went to report first, and the little soldier was also rewarded with 100 taels of gold as a reward for his meritorious service. The official residence is much more luxurious than Wang Shoucai's palace, rockeries, barriers, precious flowers and plants abound, and there are even 3 sika deer and a few peacocks in the garden.
Groups of officers and men patrolled back and forth in an orderly manner, which showed that the defense was very tight. When these officers and soldiers saw Heshuai, they also stopped and saluted silently.
After bypassing a corridor again, he arrived at the place where the city lord of Burning Snow City lived, and the little soldier first asked the two of them to wait at the door, and then entered the garrisoned inner hall and reported: "Tell the city lord that he and the city lord and his entourage are already waiting outside the door, please give the city lord orders." ”
didn't hear anyone reply, and then a teenager ran out excitedly, pulled up and said with a smiling face: "And adults, hurry up, there is something inside." ”
"Who are you?" He Shuai followed the young man all the way into the inner hall and couldn't help asking.
"You ask me? I'm the lord of Snowbreaker! The young man smiled mischievously, and the childishness on his face was undoubted, "And adults, do you eat sugar or fruit?" Don't be stunned, sit down, sit down. ”
"I can eat anything." He Shuai sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at Bai Piaopiao who was standing aside, and said in his heart, how can this city lord of Burning Snow City be a child?
Bai Piaopiao shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and the two waited for each other's next words.
"Then let's have some snacks." The little city lord shouted outside the door, "Come on, bring in the durian cake that the city lord freshly baked yesterday." And my lord, you want to try the durian crisp I baked, it tastes very good. ”
A housekeeper outside the door answered and ran out quickly. Everyone in the room didn't speak but looked at each other, He Shuai didn't expect that this little guy would be the city lord of the huge Snow City, and this little city lord didn't expect He Shuai to come to Snow City so soon.
When the dim sum came up, the little city lord warmly greeted and tasted it, and said angrily to the guards around him: "What, do you want to taste it too?" ”
Several guards shook their heads in fear and said, "The little ones don't dare." He said that he would go out.
The little city lord looked at Bai Piaopiao, who was doing nothing on the side, and said to Bai Piaopiao: "Brother Bai, you can go out first, I'll be fine." He winked as he spoke.
Bai Piaopiao had been in contact with He Shuai for a long time, nodded secretly and said goodbye, then retreated with the guards, and closed the door of the room before leaving. That way, people outside won't be able to see what's inside the room.
"I'm so happy today, I didn't expect to come to our Snow City with adults." The little city lord said loudly while waving his little hand at He Shuai.
He Shuai cautiously stood up from his seat, tried not to make any noise, and responded loudly: "Lord City, you are too polite, I am just passing by to visit you, how can my new official not come to meet our neighbors?" ”
Seeing that He Shuai understood what he meant, the lord of the small city nodded and led him to the desk, and said while writing: "It stands to reason that I am young, so I should be visiting you." After speaking, he handed over the three large characters written on the white paper on the table.
When He Shuai saw it, he was shocked at that time, and the three big words were: "Help me!" ”
Seeing that he was stunned, the little city lord hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the matter, don't you think the durian crisp I made with adults is not delicious?"
He Shuai came back to his senses and said, "No, I'm wondering how this is done, why we didn't sell it in Piaofeng City!" As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Haha, this is my exclusive invention. Not to mention that there is no more on the market, it is to find the whole Datang, and only I have it here! "The little lord quickly wrote on the paper, 'I'm being controlled, please save me, will you help me?'
