Chapter 211: The Road to Enemies is Narrow
readx;
The city lord's mansion is in the center of Cangnan City, with high ridges and cornices, and stone lions with teeth and claws are placed at the two corners under the steps outside the door, just like the yamen in ancient times. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Δ
The two guards of the Taixu Palace were standing on both sides of the closed bronze door, and as soon as Fang Fan and the three of them went up the steps, they were stopped.
The Abyss Demon Hunter arched his hand and said, "Please ask the two elder brothers to go in and report that the murderer has been ambushed."
The abyss demon hunting is here, naturally to hand over the task, his task is very strange, in order to save the player's time, generally solve the task goal, the task will be automatically delivered, but this task must be found to the city lord to deliver.
What's even more strange is that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is usually open, but today, not only is the door closed, but even the two guards guarding the door are a little abnormal, and the words have been said very clearly, but they don't seem to hear any sound, their eyes are still looking ahead, but the way is blocked by them with their swords.
Shen Yuan took a step forward, took out a golden talisman from his bosom and shook it in front of the guard's eyes, and said, "Do you see clearly?"
Shen Yuan took the talisman into his arms again, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
But the two guards remained unmoved.
Shen Yuan's anger suddenly came up, although the cultivation of the guards was higher than him, but the rights of the inner disciples were very large, and with Shen Yuan's identity, he could enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion at will.
In the Taixu Palace, it is not that if you have a high cultivation, you can be listed as an inner disciple, if you want to become an inner disciple, the minimum condition is to break through the middle stage of mortal products before the age of twenty-five, Shen Yuan After killing that group of robbers, he got some opportunities by chance, and it was these opportunities that made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, and he was accepted as an inner disciple.
If Shen Yuan didn't have these opportunities, he was still an ordinary disciple, then when he cultivated to break through the mortal realm, he would be beaten to various cities as a guard, so although the cultivation of these guards was high, they were all ordinary disciples who were not successful, Shen Yuan's status was much higher than them, and when they saw the order symbolizing the identity of the inner disciples, they should have made a way out, but they looked indifferent.
Who gave them so much audacity?
Shen Yuan was about to scold, but the closed copper door creaked, flashing a slit, and the three of Fang Fan looked in through the wider and wider crack of the door, only to see seven young men in gorgeous robes walking out.
"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time......" As soon as the young man approached, he smiled and hugged his fist at Shen Yuan.
Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, but it was cold and terrifying.
Shen Yuan's eyes also became sharp, and he said, "Hu Gao, it's you?"
"Presumptuous!!" The guards who arched Hu Gao rebuked in unison.
Shen Yuan also scolded: "What kind of identity are you, dare to make a big statement in front of me!"
Hu Gao said in a strange manner: "Hey, Brother Shen is really a big shelf, contemptible and talented, now temporarily serving as the city lord of Cangnan, you directly call your name, don't you don't put me in your eyes, don't you put Taixu Palace in your eyes?"
Hu Gao's gaze slashed at Shen Yuan like a blade, and said, "If I tell the Punishment Elder about your actions today, do you know what punishment you will receive?"
The rules of the Taixu Palace are strict, and the identity of the inner disciple is higher than that of the guards, but it is lower than the city lord, and calling the city lord by his name is already considered to have exceeded the rules.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "City Lord, it's the disciple who is abrupt."
Hu Gao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Even if you are a kid, I have a lot of adults, so I won't worry about you."
Shen Yuan's fists clenched tightly.
Hu Gao pushed the crossed swords of the guards outside the door with his hand, looked at the abyss demon hunter and Fang Fan and said, "I heard that the murderer has been killed at noon yesterday, and it is indeed a hero out of a young man."
Hu Gao is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but when he speaks, he looks old-fashioned, and his tone is high-minded, as soon as Hu Gao appears, the abyss demon hunter is extremely disgusted, and now he doesn't even bother to say a kind word.
And Fang Fan, you respect me a foot, I respect your temperament, so after listening to Hu Gao's words, he and the abyss demon hunting didn't even move.
Hu Gao's face sank, and he had fire in his heart, but he didn't know whether to do it or not.
"Bold! Why didn't the city lord say anything when he asked? The guards have spoken for him.
The Abyss Demon Hunter secretly glanced at Fang Fan, Fang Fan sneered, "We are not disciples of the Taixu Palace, what qualifications do you have to order me to do things?"
The Abyss Demon Hunter continued, "Yes, what qualifications do you have?"
The guards choked, Fang Fan asked, and then they realized that they really didn't have a reason for Fang Fan and the others to be respectful to them, but they were used to everyone's respect, and they had already taken this matter for granted.
Hu Gao said coldly: "Don't you want a reward?"
Fang Fan said loudly: "Don't do it!"
Hu Gao's face suddenly became a little unbearable, he had just taken office, and some people did not give face, but the door rules of the Taixu Palace did not allow him to fight with people who had not committed crimes, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
In fact, this is also the reason why Hu Gao has just taken office and does not understand the official way, if he stays in the position of the city lord for another two years, he will understand that there is no evidence to fabricate evidence, the mountain is far away, let an innocent person guilty, at least hundreds of ways can be found.
The guards are well versed in this, but a few days after Hu Gao arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they haven't figured out Hu Gao's temperament, so they naturally don't dare to talk more, and thanks to this, otherwise Fang Fan and the others would not be able to get out so easily.
"Brother Shen, let's go." Fang Fan and the Abyss Demon Hunter turned around and went down the steps.
Shen Yuan hugged his fist at Hu Gao without saying a word, and immediately followed behind Fang Fan, he had come to inform the murderer that he had been subdued, and asked the city lord to withdraw the guards who were searching everywhere, but now that the goal had been achieved, he walked very freely.
"Wait!" Hu Gao suddenly stopped the three of them, and continued: "I haven't finished my words yet, is Brother Shen in too much hurry?"
Shen Yuan stopped his steps, sighed secretly in his heart, and turned around and said, "What else is the matter with the City Lord?"
Hu Gao said: "I have passed the murderer's matter back to the Taixu Palace, and your contribution value has also been added to you."
Shen Yuan clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you really Lord City."
After speaking, Shen Yuan was about to turn around again.
Hu Gao caught up first, shook Shen Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "You and my brother haven't seen each other for many days, why don't you stay and drink a glass of water and wine to catch up on the old days, so as to congratulate me on my promotion to the position of city lord?"
Shen Yuan said coldly: "The little brother still has important things to do, please forgive me for not accompanying him."
After speaking, Shen Yuan was about to withdraw his hand, but Hu Gao clenched it very tightly, Hu Gao's eyes narrowed and said: "There is a sea clear forest at the junction of Cangnan City and Wenzhou City, there has been a strange thing there recently, whenever someone enters it, no one has seen them come out of the forest again, I have taken over this task for you, and the contribution is worth three thousand points, presumably you will not refuse my kindness, right?" 8
