Chapter 113: Immortal City
Murong Xiaotian and his group of four went all the way south to Immortal City. Immortal City is really lively, full of traffic, people come and go, it doesn't look worse than the main cities in the "Destiny" game, the only difference is that there will be no players here except Murong Xiaotian!
Murong Xiaotian didn't get out of the car, but just lifted the curtain from the window of the carriage compartment and swept it outside, since he came with the purpose of stealing the immortal water, it was better to be low-key.
Lu Yi set up the carriage in front of a less conspicuous inn, and directly chartered the entire courtyard of the backyard of the inn according to Murong Xiaotian's wishes, and directly drove the carriage into the backyard from the side door, and then got out of the carriage and entered the wing room.
When the things here are properly arranged, he freshen up a little, ask the shopkeeper to send some food, and when everyone is full, Murong Xiaotian instructed Lu Yi to go out to help him buy clothes, as well as hats and other things, he is as black as an African, plus he is dressed differently from Changsheng City, it is too conspicuous to go out, and it is still very necessary to cover it up.
"Little thief brother, it's better to come early than to come at the right time, God help us!" As soon as Lu Yi came back and entered the wing, he put the things that Murong Xiaotian needed on the table, and said excitedly: "Now there is a chance to get the seal talisman and sneak into the palace, we have to take advantage of it and seize this opportunity!" ”
"What chance?" Murong Xiaotian, Lu Jia, and Xian'er were all in good spirits, it seems that God is really helping, and there is good news when they just arrive in Immortal City!
"A notice is posted on the street outside, the emperor's sister county lord is openly recruiting husbands, no matter your age, no matter how you look, as long as you are a man, you can sign up," Lu Yi said excitedly: "Brother thief, I have already registered for you, as long as you can find a way to defeat all the competitors, you will be able to enter and exit the inner city of the palace at that time, and you will have the opportunity to steal the immortal water." ”
"Second uncle, you, what kind of bad idea are you, don't you want the thief brother to marry the county lord and be the county king!" Before Murong Xiaotian and Lu Jia could speak, Xian'er was already dissatisfied!
"Xian'er, what are you worried about!" At this time, Lu Jia said with a smile: "Do you think the county lord's wedding is such a casual thing!" If your thief brother can really pass the test, there will be at least a long time before he marries the county lord, and this time is enough for him to steal the water of immortality. ”
"Little brother thief, I can warn you, if you dare to do something sorry for Xian'er at that time, if you really pretend to marry the county lord, our two brothers will never let you go." Lu Yi also opened his mouth to agree.
"Second uncle, what are you talking about!" Xian'er's eyes were full of shyness, but more than that, joy!
"Damn, she's just a broken county lord, you want me to apostatize, you look down on me too much, I don't flatten her, I'm already giving her face, marry her? It's pretty much the same thing that my brain is flooded. Murong Xiaotian's foul words, Xian'er, Lu Jia, Lu Yi and the three of them all laughed, but in Murong Xiaotian's heart, he felt a burst of bitterness, no matter whether this trial can be completed or not, he will leave here after all, what will Xian'er do then, Murong Xiaotian doesn't dare to think about it!
"We believe that the little brother thief is not the kind of person who clings to the rich, otherwise, our brothers would not come to help you," Lu Jia patted Murong Xiaotian on the shoulder and nodded approvingly.
"Brother B, did the announcement say that the county lord chooses a husband?" Murong nodded at Lu Jia in return, and turned his gaze to Lu Yi after changing the topic, he really didn't want to get involved in those issues too much!
"Procedure? What procedure? Lu Yi was puzzled.
"Oh, that is, the process and conditions for the county lord to choose a husband," Murong Xiaotian reacted at this time, the procedure is something that the people here probably don't understand.
"Oh, let's make a rough selection first," Lu Yi said, "Conduct tests on weightlifting and other liliang aspects, and only leave the first hundred people to compete in the ring, and the ring competition is divided into eight arenas, and the winner of each arena enters the palace for an interview." ”
"Oh, that's it, it's simple," Murong Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said to Lu Yi: "We won't participate in the rough selection of that file, Brother Yi will work hard for you, and I want you to take care of it." Money is not an issue. "Murong Xiaotian doesn't want to show up too early, and he also knows this truth, money can make ghosts grind, and those who rely on money to get through are probably not the only ones, of course, he also has a purpose, that is, to buy off the invigilator, which is of great benefit to his own news, after all, the most important thing is the interview, and he can't help but understand the preferences and personality of the county lord, and know himself and his opponent, so that he can be invincible!
"Okay, I'll go now," Lu Yi said, taking a lot of gold coins from Murong Xiaotian and going out.
Don't say it, this Lu Yi really has the talent to be a housekeeper, it didn't take a day to do things properly, and he gave Murong Xiaotian the identity of a prince, that kind of rough selection, of course, you don't have to participate, the speed of the rough selection is not ordinarily fast, the morning of the next day, it only took half a day to get it all, and the afternoon of the next day is the selection day of the ring competition, this time Murong Xiaotian can't help but go.
Putting on the gorgeous clothes that Lu Yi bought, leaving Lu Jia and Xian'er to stay at home, Lu Yi drove the carriage and Murong Xiaotian out.
When I came to the arena built in front of the Palace of Eternal Life City, I saw that it was already crowded with people.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I didn't see the prince of the black country coming," Seeing Lu Yi on the carriage, a team of soldiers ran over to drive the crowd of onlookers away and make way for them, and when the carriage stopped in front of the No. 3 ring that Murong Xiaotian was going to participate in, a fat invigilator ran over, and nodded to Murong Xiaotian who got out of the carriage with a smile on his face.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please sit down in the VIP seat," the invigilator bowed his hand to Murong Xiaotian again and again.
"Lord Rong is polite, after the matter is completed, this king will definitely not treat Lord Rong badly." Murong Xiaotian took Lord Rong's hand and walked to the VIP seat and sat down.
"The prince is polite," Lord Rong smiled, and said gloomily: "Please rest assured, the prince, the matter has been arranged, the rest of the third group is the worst in the eight groups in the rough selection, and one of them is stronger, it is my subordinate, hehe, wait for my subordinates to beat the other people down, Your Royal Highness the prince, as long as Zuihou appears, you will win the volume." ”
"High, it's really high, rest assured, this prince will not treat Lord Rong badly," Murong Xiaotian gave a thumbs up to Lord Rong. At the same time, he sighed at the darkness of officialdom, damn, he couldn't think of such a trick, even in the game, let alone in reality.
"There, there, that's all the officials can do for the prince, and as for Zuihou's interview, there's nothing the lower officials can do."
"By the way, Lord Rong, this county lord doesn't know what kind of person he likes?" Murong Xiaotian asked what he wanted to know.
"This, the lower official is not very clear, but," Lord Rong thought for a while and said: "Listening to the personal maid of the county lord in the palace, the county lord doesn't seem to care about the handsome and ugly old and young, she seems to want to find a powerful one, but it must be bold, rough, not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, but as for whether it is true, the lower official is not very clear." ”
"Damn, is this county lord a masochist?" Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but scream, I really don't understand, what this county lord is thinking in his head.
"Hehe, whether it's true or not, we can't miss this opportunity to perform, right?" At this time, Lord Rong smiled, and whispered into Murong Xiaotian's ear: "The competition in the ring, the county lord is watching from the tower of the palace, and when the prince and my subordinates compete, win beautifully, and try to attract the attention of the county lord, so that during the interview, it will be much more beneficial to His Royal Highness the prince." ”
"Oh, that's it," Murong Xiaotian turned his head to look at the city tower, and sure enough, he saw a few people standing there, one of them standing in the middle seemed to be veiled, that should be the county lord, but even if he was not blind, it was estimated that he couldn't see clearly, after all, it was not very close.
"Well, I've said everything I need to say, and the rest of the matter will depend on the prince himself," Lord Rong nodded.
"Lord Rong, let your subordinates not have to play, wait for me to be the first to play," Murong Xiaotian thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed gloomily.
"Is His Royal Highness the Prince sure?" Lord Rong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, hehe, I promise, no one will dare to play again in less than ten minutes." A hint of cruelty flashed in Murong Xiaotian's eyes!
"Well, in that case, you have to be careful." I can't see that this Lord Rong still cares about Murong Xiaotian, but I really don't know if he cares about people or money!
