Chapter 149: The New City Lord takes office
Xiao Ke instructed Xiao Beixin and Xiao Qing to practice kung fu for a while, According to yesterday's plan, she had to go to Water City.
As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Chu Yun, and he broke several willow branches on the side of the road in annoyance, and the broken branches were lying on the ground.
"Little Master Chu, did this willow provoke you?"
"Madame, are you going out?" Chu Yun looked up and saw that it was Xiao Ke, and he took a trace of annoyance.
Since people knew that he was a relative of the son of Chu Jiachen, he was usually a good friend and brother, and he spoke to him carefully, for fear of offending him, is he the kind of person with a small belly?
"Just go around!" Xiao Ke replied.
Chu Yun looked behind Xiao Ke for a moment: "Aren't the Nine Princes together?"
Xiao Ke nodded: "I'll just walk around the door of the house and don't lose it, and he will do anything with him."
"I mean, can I walk with you?" Chu Yun was sure that Yan Qi would not follow, so he dared to say this.
"You're looking for me?"
"I just want to talk to you...... If you find it inconvenient, forget it. ”
"It can't be that Ling Zilong can't endure hardships and runs away, right?" Xiao Ke made Chu Yun want to speak and stopped, teasing.
"How is it possible, if he dares to escape, I will peel his skin!"
"And what do you want to tell me?" Xiao Ke asked.
Chu Yun looked around again, making sure that there was no one around, before he said, "I heard that you are going back to the Yuanling Continent?" ”
"Chu Chen told you?" Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows, the matter of the Heavenly Demon Remnant Sword in the Yuanling Continent was only known to Chu Chen and Yan Qi, and they couldn't make any extraneous branches.
"It's none of my brother's business, I overheard it myself." Chu Yun couldn't figure out Xiao Ke's temperament, and often said that the wind blew the rain, and that the rain rained and hailed, and the eldest brother had a holiday with him, in case he was angry with his eldest brother, it would be bad.
"And then?" Xiao Ke asked.
"I want to go with you!"
Xiao Ke replied casually: "You are indeed not suitable to stay in the Xuanling Continent. ”
Anyway, they also plan to send him away, the temple battle is imminent, maybe it won't take five years, send him back, Chu Chen is also more at ease.
"I didn't say I wouldn't come back." Chu Yun replied eagerly, "I just want to find someone." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Ke responded, "However, manly man, one spit and one nail, if you can't find it, don't come back!" She could guess who Chu Yun was looking for.
"Madame, you ......"
Chu Yun smiled, "I will definitely find Sister Ling." ”
"Hard!" Xiao Ke wanted to leave, but before he could take a step, he remembered something and stopped.
"Little Master Chu, if you really find someone who looks the same as her, please notify me as soon as possible, can you do it?"
"You're going to forcibly bring her back??"
"Don't ask what the reason is, just answer me, can you do it."
"Yes!" Chu Yun replied, Mu Ke is her sister, it is impossible to hurt her, if she is really found, let me know, just raise your hand.
"If it's okay, go back to practice!" The business is important, send Chu Yun away, Xiao Ke turned around and left.
Coming to Watery City, Xiao Ke wanted to go straight to the Flame Headquarters, but found a strange thing.
It is said that the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed yesterday, and there will definitely be various rumors today, but everyone is as calm as no one, and it is too weird.
"When~When~When~"
Three long gongs and drums sounded on the street, and a group of guards dressed in the clothes of the city lord's palace guards drove the crowd to both sides of the street, and they themselves were also pushed to the side of the corner, and quickly reasoned out a wide avenue, and sixteen people carried a very luxuriously decorated sedan chair slowly.
"The Golden City Lord has arrived!"
The guard who struck the gong shouted loudly, and the palanquin stopped.
"Which Golden City Lord?"
The crowd exploded at this time, talking in a whisper, looking at their expressions, they didn't know about the city lord's mansion yesterday, how could this be??
Xiao Ke couldn't figure it out, who was secretly helping her deal with the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion?
The sedan chair came to the place where the crowd was most dense and stopped.
"Press the car!" A guard next to the sedan chair shouted.
The sedan chair drivers in front of them pressed the sedan pole at the same time to let the people in the sedan chair come out.
A middle-aged man, dressed in the city lord's formal clothes, saw him slowly step out and walk out of the sedan chair. Flying
"Jin Zhongheng!"
Xiao Ke saw the face of the new city lord clearly, and was a little surprised, how could this newly appointed city lord be Jin Yunkai's father.
After Jin Zhongheng walked out of the sedan chair, he looked around the street, looked at it, and nodded, "Everyone is no stranger to me Jin, Jin just wants to tell everyone." From today on, the city lord of this water city is my Jin Zhongheng! ”
"Why did you suddenly change the city lord?"
I don't know who asked, and when Jin Zhongheng searched for this person again, the crowd was too mixed and nothing was found.
"This is the order of the domain master, if you have any questions, you can go directly to the domain master." The people around Jin Zhongheng took out a city director's order book stamped with the domain master's seal and showed it in front of everyone. "I hope that everyone can cooperate with the Golden City Lord in the future to maintain and manage our side of the water and soil."
Was Jin Zhongheng arranged by Yan Qi? Xiao Ke asked himself in his heart, he said that he had to arrange a city lord who could control and be obedient to come over, so that the Nan family would not die on the road of continuous growth.
But why did the domain lord deal with it so quickly overnight, as if he had long known that the former city lord would be wiped out yesterday, and continued to stare with such doubts.
"My lord, please get into the sedan chair, it's time to go back to the city lord's mansion!" The person who took out the city director's order just now accepted the letter of appointment, pulled up the sedan curtain for Jin Zhongheng, and signaled that since he had met with everyone, today's task would be completed.
Jin Zhongheng's face stiffened for a moment, and he immediately turned around with a smile and smiled, "It's a little tired, go back!" ”
After saying that, he got into the sedan chair, and his smile remained until the man lowered the sedan curtain.
"Back to the City Lord's Mansion!"
The man's words are much better than those of the city lord, besides. These men in guard costumes don't look like ordinary guards at all.
It turned out to be a puppet city lord.
Xiao Ke finished watching the play, turned around and left, she still had to find the real Shen Yueya.
Flame Headquarters, during the period when Nan Ruifeng was away, all daily affairs were handled by Xiu Zi and Gray Ants, although Xiu Zi was a little younger, he was experienced, and he didn't have to deal with things Nan Rui Feng, which was a lot more reassuring.
The moment Xiao Ke stepped on the threshold of the flame, the flames didn't know how excited they were.
Everyone understands that the real master of the flame is Xiao Ke, although she rarely comes here, but in everyone's hearts, she is their heaven, and no one can shake her status.
Blaze also has an exclusive courtyard for Xiaoke, the environment is quiet, the most suitable for self-cultivation, even if Xiaoke is not there, the sanitation on weekdays is cleaned.
Except for those who went out to do tasks, most of the Blaze's personnel went to the Nanjia family for training, and there were not many people left here, but this did not affect the safety of Blaze, because Xiao Ke left behind enough spirit beasts to deal with emergencies.
When Xiu Zi heard this, he hurriedly came out to greet Xiao Ke: "Master, you are here." ”
Xiao Ke replied to his chin: "If you have something to look for, come with me!" ”
Xiu Zi followed Xiao Ke through the winding verandah and into her courtyard.
"Xiu Zi, you sit too!" Xiao Ke returned to the house and sat down in a random place.
"Just stand up!" Xiu Zi stood aside respectfully.
The owl is the master, his servant, and he can't forget his identity just because the owl is not bound by these etiquettes.
Cultivating Zi Zhili, Xiao Ke didn't ask for it, and asked, "Do you know about the Jin family?" ”
"Jin Zhongheng has become a puppet city lord." Xiu Zi replied, "I received the news this morning that the former city lord's family mysteriously disappeared, and the domain lord issued a summoning order to the Jin family overnight.
It's just that the subordinates feel that this matter is very strange, if the former city lord's family is only missing and not dead, the domain lord should send someone to find him, instead of replacing him directly.
Also, the speed of this change of city lord is too incredible. ”
"You don't know what happened yesterday in the City Lord's Mansion?" Xiao Ke felt very strange, the people in the city didn't know, even if they didn't know, how could they not know about Xiuzi.
Xiu Zi shook his head, "Does the master know?" ”
Xiao Ke felt that he was involved in a conspiracy, Yan Qi and the others made such a big noise yesterday, how could no one find out, and when she left the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost four watches. How did the domain owner know, and made corresponding countermeasures at the first time.
"The City Lord's Mansion was destroyed last night."
Xiu Zi's pupils opened slightly, and he was a little surprised, it was the City Lord's Mansion, who had such a great ability to destroy it, and he could still retreat without realizing it.
"I killed the city lord, but I didn't touch anyone else."
Xiao Ke is now a head and two big, and a city lord's mansion involves several hidden forces, and he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. "After I left, a second group of people came, and they wiped out the rest, and then a third group of people may appear, and they directly destroyed his body. However, this is just my speculation, I am not at the scene and do not know the specifics. ”
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the master." Xiu Zi half-knelt down to plead guilty, such a big thing happened, he didn't know anything, he should be punished!
"Get up, it's not your fault!" Xiao Ke said, Yan Qi said that he would arrange for the new city lord to take office, but looking at Jin Zhongheng's appearance, it was not very voluntary, but it seemed that he was forced to go into battle, Yan Qi should not arrange such a person, if the person next to Jin Zhongheng who gave orders was Yan Qi's person, why was Jin Zhongheng so reluctant.
"During the time I left, did Shen Yueya come here?"
"No, the young lady rarely even goes back to the Shen family, and Master Shen also asks his subordinates, and every time his subordinates say that the young lady is pregnant and is raising a baby in Nanfu."
"And do you know where she likes to go?"
"It's not clear to this subordinate." Xiu Zi replied, Shen Yueya is also the master, how dare he overstep. "But my subordinates once saw her enter a small courtyard, and they were cautious."
"Do you remember any place?" Xiao Ke asked eagerly.
