142: The poorest city lord

They came to a stop in front of the gate of a mansion, Wu Shuo smiled and said to Si Xinjing, "Zheng'er, I'm home!" ”

Si Xinjing looked up at this ordinary mansion, and was very surprised in his heart, this is the Fenlu City Lord's Mansion? She looked at it carefully in confusion, and the plaque on the lintel did indeed read five gilded characters of "Fenlu City Lord's Mansion".

At this time, at the gate, there was a middle-aged man in a cloth coat standing, and when he saw the three of them appear, his face that had been tense finally relaxed.

The cloth-clothed man saluted Chu Haokun, "Young master, are you back?" Are you all right? The lord of this city heard that the demon has been driven away? ”

Chu Haokun helped the cloth-clothed man weakly, nodded and said, "The city lord of Wucheng doesn't need to be polite, that demon has indeed been beaten away!" ”

The lord of the city of Wu? Si Xinwei was shocked, this man in coarse cloth clothes turned out to be the lord of a city? If he did not call himself the lord of the city, she thought he had come as a servant.

If calculated by area, this Fenlu City is more than half larger than Fengming Kingdom, equivalent to the emperor of a country, looking at this somewhat dilapidated City Lord's Mansion, even the Xu Mansion in Wuyu Town and the Ning Mansion in Xiangshuihe Town are much more glamorous and magnificent than this City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Shuo said: "Uncle, let's go in and talk again!" ”

"Good! Let's go in first, young master, please! ”

Stepping into the city lord's mansion, Si Xinwei saw the environment in the mansion, and she was even more surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that the mansion of the lord of a city was so simple, so simple that the place where flowers should be planted in the mansion was actually planted with patches of vegetables?

Seeing the person who was busy watering in the vegetable field, Wu Shuo said helplessly: "The eldest aunt has gone to water the vegetables again, and I have already told her that I will water it in the evening." ”

Wu Siyuan said: "Don't worry about her, your aunt can't be idle anyway." ”

"Where has my aunt been idle? Every time I come back from the academy, I see my aunt and mother weaving! ”

A few people came to the big front hall as they spoke, and Wu Siyuan said to Chu Haokun: "Young master, please take a seat!" ”

"Uncle Wu doesn't have to be polite, this young master is just a junior, just sit with Zheng'er!" Chu Haokun shook his head and sat down in the lower seat with Si Xinjing.

Seeing that he was so casual, Wu Siyuan also gave up, and also sat down in the lower seat, looked at Si Xinwei and asked, "Who is this girl...?" ”

Wu Shuo introduced while making tea: "Uncle, her name is Si Xinjing, she is also a student of the special class of Lingzhi Academy, she is our classmate, today we are fighting with that demon, that demon is really ferocious, we are not opponents at all, fortunately, Zheng'er appeared in time to save us, otherwise, we are in danger today!" ”

Wu Siyuan's face was shocked when he heard this, and he said to Si Xinwei gratefully: "Thank you Miss Si for saving the young master and little nephew, such a great grace, my Wufu is unforgettable." ”

Si Xinwei said lightly: "The city lord is polite, I don't dare to be a great favor, I just take advantage of that demon's unpreparedness." ”

Talking about the demon, Chu Haokun said with a solemn face: "Uncle Wu, that demon is really fierce and powerful, go on like this... I'm afraid Fenlu City won't be able to keep it! ”

"How is this good, this demon only came out once in a year or two before, I don't know why? This demon has come out frequently lately to harm people's lives, and it has come out three times in this month alone, and it is because of this that the city lord has sent a letter to Shuo'er to come back. Wu Siyuan was anxious and helpless.

Chu Haokun also said helplessly: "So far, I'm afraid no one can kill that demon, for the safety of the people in the city, Fenlu City can only be temporarily relocated." ”

Wu Siyuan was anxious when he heard this, "Relocation...?" Don't hide it from you, young master! My City Lord's Mansion really can't come up with this money! What's more... Where is this going? ”

Chu Haokun said: "Uncle Wu doesn't have to worry about the money, as for the place..., this young master has already sent a letter to his father and Lingzhi Academy, explaining the situation here to them, I believe that someone will come in two days, and then discuss the relocation and fight against the demons." ”

Si Xinwei saw that Wu Siyuan was at a loss and anxious, it could be seen that he was really worried and worried about the people in the city, but his ability was limited, so she spoke: "This demon frequently comes out to harm people, I'm afraid I can't wait for people to come to rescue, for today's plan, I can only build a few shelters in the city, east, west, north and south, and then I will lay a seven-level formation in the shelter, which can temporarily protect the lives of the people in the city." ”

"What? Zheng'er, you can actually lay down a seventh-level formation? Chu Haokun was first pleasantly surprised.

Wu Siyuan and Wu Shuo were also pleasantly surprised when they heard this, with the protection of the seventh-level formation, even if they couldn't kill that demon, at least they weren't afraid that the people would be eaten by that demon.

"Great, I didn't expect Miss Si... Zheng'er can lay out a seventh-level formation, since this is the case, you should rest here for a while, and the city lord will go down to arrange the refuge first. Wu Siyuan was as excited as a child with sugar, and hurriedly walked out after speaking.

Chu Haokun asked, "Zheng'er, where have you been in the past few months?" After I got out of the customs, I could still sense that you were in the southwest, just because it was almost my birthday, I thought you would come to Xicheng to celebrate my birthday, so I waited for you in the City Lord's Mansion, but I didn't expect that after two days, I would completely lose your news. ”

Si Xinwei knew that he would ask this, but when he thought of that Lin Yun, he still didn't tell him!

"We've been trapped in an enchantment for two months, so did you come to Fenlu City because of demons?"

Chu Haokun shook his head: "I didn't sense your news, I was anxious, but I didn't know where to look for you, until a few days ago, I sensed that you were in the south, thinking that you would definitely come to the Hell Mountains, so I came to Fenlu City five days ago, and I didn't know about the situation here." ”

Wu Shuo also said: "Actually, this demon has only come out frequently in the past month, and after I received the letter from my uncle, I took a leave of absence from Tutor Li and hurried back, just one day with Senior Brother Chu to Fenlu City." ”

Chu Haokun said worriedly: "Zheng'er, do you really want to enter the Hell Mountain Range?" You have also seen the terrifying strength of this demon today, and the three of us worked together to barely get to a draw, not to mention that there are unknown dangers in the mountain range. ”

Si Xinjing nodded firmly: "Hmm! I have to enter the Hell Mountains, don't worry! This demon is not to be feared today, and tomorrow morning, I will set out! ”

Chu Haokun was helpless in his heart, but thinking of that Mo Daichen in the space, this demon today was indeed not to be afraid of him.

"Alright! Tomorrow I will go into the mountains with you! ”

Si Xinjin glanced at him and said, "You don't need to follow me into the mountains!" ”

"Zheng'er, how could I be indifferent to watching you enter a dangerous place? It's okay if you don't let me go with you, unless you don't go either. ”

Si Xinwei rubbed his forehead with a little headache, it seemed that it was impossible to convince him.

At this time, Wu Siyuan walked into the hall quickly, still holding a picture in his hand, probably in a hurry, and a little out of breath.

"Young master, the city lord of the refuge has chosen a few places, you can also come and see if it is feasible?" Wu Siyuan said, spreading the picture in his hand on the table.

The three of them also stood up, and Wu Siyuan pointed to a few red circles drawn on the map and said, "Young master, Zheng'er!" Do you think the shelters are located in these places? ”

Si Xinwei looked at the map, this is a topographic map of the entire Fenlu City, the picture is very detailed, it can be seen that Wu Siyuan is very attentive to Fenlu City.

A total of five red circles were drawn on the map, and Wu Siyuan placed four shelters in the east, west, south, and north as Si Xinwei said, and added one more in the center of Fenlu City, however, this shelter was the city lord's mansion!

Si Xinjing and Chu Haokun didn't expect that this Wu Siyuan could do this for the people of the city, and their hearts couldn't help but be touched.

"Now that we've chosen a place, I'll go over and set up the formation now." Si Xinjing said.

Chu Haokun took out a space bag and said to Wu Siyuan: "Uncle Wu, you can use this money to settle the people in the city!" ”

Wu Siyuan took the space bag, and when he saw the mountain-high spirit stones piled inside, he was frightened, "This... So many spirit stones? It's too much..."

"Uncle U, just take it! The situation in Fenlu City is also known to the young master, and Linxi City, as the main city of the mortal spirit realm, should help Fenlu City get through the difficulties. ”

Wu Siyuan was moved to tears, "Well, this city lord thanks you young master for the people of Fenlu City!" ”

Si Xinwei glanced at the space bag, it was all the spirit stones seized from the Xun Mansion, and now the money has been given to Fenlu City, and the money has finally been used.

Chu Haokun said to Si Xinjing, "Let's go!" Set up the formation first, and then we'll take a good look at this Hell Mountain Range when we come back. ”

———

After returning from the formation, Si Xinjing said to Wu Siyuan: "Uncle Wu, I want to enter the Hell Mountain Range tomorrow, can you tell us about the situation of the Mountain Range?" ”

Wu Siyuan was shocked: "What? Are you going into the Hell Mountains? No, this Fenlu City really can't stay, it's a big deal that we will relocate, there's no need to let you go hard! ”

Si Xinjing said lightly: "It has nothing to do with this, it's my personal business, I have to go in tomorrow, so I want to ask about the situation in the mountain range." ”

Wu Siyuan was a little incredulous, what could be bigger than his life? He turned his head to look at Chu Haokun, who nodded slightly at him.

"Alright! Now that you have made your decision, the lord of this city will tell you about it. ”

Wu Shuo said: "Zheng'er, it's better to wait a few more days!" I believe that the academy and Linxi City will come soon, and it will be better for everyone to discuss it together than for you to go alone. ”

Si Xinwei shook his head: "I can't wait for them, I have to go in tomorrow!" ”

Wu Siyuan had no choice but to continue: "The reason why people think that there is treasure in the mountain range is because the mountain range often emits golden light in the middle of the night, since the city lord can remember, I have heard that none of the people who went in to hunt for treasures came out alive, of course, the people who dare to go in to hunt for treasures are all extremely powerful people, and there are many people from the Wuxuan Realm." ”

Si Xinjing's face was calm, and he asked again: "So, no one knows what is going on in the mountain range?" ”

Wu Siyuan nodded: "It can be said that the last person who entered it has been more than thirty years, this person has been practicing hard for decades in order to challenge this mountain range, and his strength has also reached the Wuxuan realm, thinking that his strength is enough to break into the mountain range, but no one has seen it until now." ”

Si Xinjing asked again: "When did that demon appear today?" Is it the same one that comes out every time? ”

Wu Siyuan: "This demon only began to appear more than ten years ago, and it only comes out once in a year or two, but no one can see what this demon looks like, and for this reason, the rich people have gradually left Fenlu City, and those who remain are poor families and people who can't afford to move out, and it has become the current situation of Fenlu City, all of which are incompetent city lords!" ”

Chu Haokun said: "Uncle Wu doesn't have to blame himself, no matter where this demon appears, it will be like this, I believe that one day, we will kill all these demons." ”

Si Xinjing asked: "Isn't there a small town to the east of Fenlu City?" Are there still people living there? ”

Wu Shuo said: "There is no one left, more than a hundred people in that town were eaten by demons, and the rest will be taken back to Fenlu City by the uncle." ”
