"Want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find the teleportation array? I advise you not to go. ”

Nanxing: "Why is that?" ”

"I've been in this Broken Dungeon City for more than sixty years, and I've seen a lot of people who want to go out through the City Lord's Mansion Teleportation Array, but after those people went to the City Lord's Mansion, I haven't seen them again."

"Maybe they're gone through the teleportation array." Shang Lu felt that what the old king said was weird, and couldn't help but reply.

"Hahaha, the word gone is a good word. Where have you gone? The old king turned his head abruptly and looked at Nanxing and Shang Lu, "Those who are gone, their clothes will be auctioned off outside the City Lord's Mansion soon. Where do you think they went? ”

Nanxing, Shanglu: "......"

"Lao Wang's head should be auctioned again in a few days, right? Last time, the gourd was good, but unfortunately it was robbed by Li Ergou in the west of the city. After Xian Hanjia finished speaking, he spat fiercely to the side.

"If you don't want to bid, it's better to compete for the first place in the poetry club, and you can get one for free." The old king walked over and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and covered the phlegm.

Xian Hanjia hurriedly threw some sand at the place where he spit just now, and said a little curtly: "If I want to have that talent, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to eat fragrant and spicy food." ”

The conversation between these two people made Nanxing confused, it was an auction and a poetry meeting, and what was going on in the City Lord's Mansion, now not only the previous questions were not answered, but more questions emerged.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a tremor on the ground. Nanxing and Shang Lu twitched their noses at the same time, and they both smelled the fragrance of bamboo leaves, which is the kind of smell that is often smelled in the bamboo forest, but where does the fragrance of bamboo leaves come from in this vast desert?

The old king dragged his somewhat lame right foot to the door of the tea house, and the five people in the tea house also looked up over there.

The fragrance of bamboo leaves on the tip of his nose became more and more intense, and the old Wang Tou stood at the door of the tea house and looked at it slightly, his face was a little pale, and his lips were a little trembling: "Lord Zhuqing, I knew that you were coming today, why did Xiao Lao'er go and get some purple leaf grass to entertain adults." ”

The person who was called Zhuqing by the old king, with a delicate face, dressed as a scholar's servant, and holding a bamboo flute in his hand. The scent of bamboo leaves seems to emanate from the flute.

Zhu Qing ignored the old king's head and walked directly past him into the tea house. The idler in the tea house, Jia Yi, also put away his previous appearance, sat up straight, and straightened his clothes again. After Zhu Qing glanced around, his gaze fell on Nanxing and Shang Lu, "The city lord has an invite, you two come with me." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that Nanxing and Shang Lu didn't move, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, "What?" Do you want to disobey the orders of the city lord? ”

Old Wang Tou didn't dare to make a sound behind Zhu Qing, but kept squeezing his eyebrows at Nanxing and Shang Lu.

"How can it be, the city lord is very honored, please lead the way." Nanxing understood what the old king meant, that is, let them go with this Lord Zhuqing, since the city lord directly sent someone to find it, it must be impossible to hide, so simply go and meet this city lord.

……

Looking at the city lord's mansion from afar, it is not really true, this is close to find that the city lord's mansion is actually composed of a small piece of buildings, more like a small palace complex, pavilions and pavilions, flying beams and bucket arches, high eaves columns, blue bricks and blue tiles.

Passing through the outer oasis water pool, Zhuqing brought Nanxing and Shanglu to a courtyard.

"This is the courtyard prepared by the city lord for the two of you, you can bring up any needs. Shake the bell at the door, and a maid will come later. Zhu Qing shook his finger with a bamboo flute, and the small copper bell hanging at the door of each room. After saying this, Zhuqing turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Nanxing.

Nanxing: "Doesn't the city lord see us now?" ”

"The lord of the city will summon you when he has time."

Nanxing: "When is the city lord free?" ”

"When the city lord is free, he is free, and the guest is as he pleases, this ideal must be understood by the two of you."

Nanxing didn't ask any more, and entered the courtyard with Shang Lu, the courtyard is not big, there is a Hongqing pond in the middle of the whole courtyard, the courtyard is built around the Qingchi, and only a few houses are built together on one side.

Pushing open the door, the structure of the room is similar to the inside of the wooden house outside the Xuantian Gate. However, the interior is on the right-hand side, separated by a wooden moon door and a mopping curtain. On the bed in the inner room, pillows and quilts are readily available, and Nanxing touched it with his hand and found that it was a fine brocade quilt.

Shang Lu checked each room, and when he returned to the first room, he said to Nanxing, "There are five rooms in total, and each room is arranged in the same way. What kind of medicine is sold in this city lord's gourd? ”

Nanxing shook his head and didn't answer. But what is certain is that the city lord's behavior is very strange, and how did he find out about the two of them? After sitting in the tea house before, Nanxing has been watching the street carefully, and there is no person coming. This ruined dungeon is full of weirdness.

"The slave and maid greet the two distinguished guests, I wonder if the distinguished guests want dinner?"

The maid saw that the doors and windows were closed, for fear that the distinguished guests this time had some strange habits, so she did not dare to come forward and knock on the door, but asked through the door.

"Do you have chicken thighs for dinner?"

"There is a pheasant today, you can only take the hind leg meat into the dish."

The pheasant is not advanced, but is a hen-like bird. Its two hind legs are very long and very thick, and although the pheasant has lost the ability to fly, it can run quite fast because of these two hind legs.

"Send two for dinner, and then three for ......" Nanxing felt a movement in her sleeves, looked down and saw the rabbit pulling her sleeve, and gestured to five with her hairy paws, "Send five roasted smoke pheasant hind legs." ”

"Yes. If the guest has no other needs, the slave and maid will retreat first. ”

After two quarters of an hour, the maid took the two expressionless servants and carried the food box to the small courtyard where Nanxing and Shang Lu were. The maid quickly placed the four small plates and the four large saucers on the table in the room. Not to mention, the dinner in the city lord's mansion is still very good, and it doesn't look like the spiritual food in those big restaurants.

In the whole process of plating, in addition to the sound of the food utensils touching the table, there is only the sound of shallow water in the clear pond in the courtyard. When the maid had done this, she withdrew from the room and closed the door. Nanxing quietly propped up a corner of the window and saw the maid leave the small courtyard with the two wood-like households.

"Shang Lu, do you feel it? It's the two people who carried the food box just now, like wooden people. ”

"The two housekeepers looked like they were moving normally, but I observed that they weren't panting at all."

"I've noticed that, too." Nanxing turned his head to look at the rabbit that was holding the legs of the Yanxia pheasant and gnawed on it, and asked, "Rabbit, can you still feel the medicine pestle now?" ”

"Yes, but Master Rabbit, I think it may not be a medicine pestle in the City Lord's Mansion." As the rabbit spoke, he didn't stop to stuff the drumsticks into his mouth.

"What's that?"

Rabbit: "Maybe it's an elixir made from a medicine pestle." ”

"Can the medicine pestle still make its own elixir? It...... Isn't it an object? Although it has intelligence, ......" Nanxing felt that the rabbit's words had once again subverted her perception of the medicine pestle.

"The medicine pestle has followed the rabbit master for thousands of years, and it is common for me to learn alchemy."
