Chapter 108: All kinds of difficulties

"In this way, he must know that I can enter the royal city, and he also knows that I value this wheel of yellow springs that can bring the dead back to life!"

Zhang Xiaoluo said softly, as if he had a faint guess in his heart, and only waited until the day of the royal city to verify it.

"Huh? That's right! The reward does not mention fiefdoms, silver coins, and other worldly things! The people of the royal city are like people who know that you and I are not ordinary people, this ...... It's a trap! Don't go! ”

Yan Xue was reminded by Zhang Xiaoluo, and suddenly came to her senses and spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaoluo did not intend to continue to expand this Gu disaster. After all, he didn't want to harm too many innocent people. And those who have been infected with Gu poison are also weak and do not die.

Now that Wang Cheng has sent an invisible invitation to himself, he plans to go to this appointment, because the Wheel of Yellow Springs is in Wang Cheng, which is something that Zhang Xiaoluo must get. If Wang Cheng is not interested, Zhang Xiaoluo doesn't mind dragging the people of the entire snowy country to bury himself and Xiao Ji.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoluo was silent, Yan Xue understood that he had to go to the royal city. She stood up and shouted an order to Zhang Xiaoluo.

"You have done this city, and when you go to the royal city, you need to call me to go with you!"

Zhang Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Yan Xue in surprise.

A blush quickly rose on Yan Xue's face, and she lowered her head and explained softly.

"I'm going too, I'm ...... I miss him......"

"But didn't you just say that you can't enter the royal city?"

"I didn't say anything about going in, you asked him to come out and meet me!"

Snowy Plains, Snowy Country, Snowy Royal City.

Fanhai has been in the royal city for many days, the main priest of the Wangcheng temple only on the first day of his entry into the city, the portrait painted by the painter of the royal city at that time, and then sealed in the Wangcheng Jima temple was taken out, and after comparing and confirming with the Fanhai, it seems to have forgotten the Fanhai.

Fan Hai witnessed the killing of his grandmother, and his sister Miji was ravaged to death by those snow wolf guards who rode huge snow wolves, and his ruthlessness towards the Snowy King City was already monstrous. But Brahma seemed to have become disheartened, and spent his days in the royal city, drinking and merry, and living in a state of malaise. And Zhang Xiaoluo, it was at this time that he came to the Snowy King City.

Zhang Xiaoluo was escorted by the snow wolf cavalry guard to solve the plague of Ice and Snow City. Before he came, he had told Yan Xue that whether Yan Xue could keep up with the snow wolf's extremely fast speed was obviously not in Zhang Xiaoluo's consideration.

After entering the royal city, Zhang Xiaoluo was accompanied by an old man with white hair, the old man seemed to have a very high status in the royal city, took Zhang Xiaoluo to roughly turn the entire palace, and arranged Zhang Xiaoluo to a delicate attic in the royal city, and then Shi Li was ready to retreat, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoluo softly.

"I have lived in the snow for a long time, and I am not tolerant of the cold, so it is essential to warm up with manure every day, you need to be ready!"

The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted and hurriedly spoke respectfully.

"In the royal city, there is charcoal for heating, this charcoal has no ash, and when it burns, it can emit a strange fragrance, and later there will be slaves to send it to you!"

Seeing the old man's humble look, Zhang Xiaoluo seemed to be extremely satisfied, but his face suddenly turned cold.

"You don't understand what I'm saying? I want charcoal! ”

"But in the royal city, if you burn dung charcoal, it will definitely smell incomparably and damage the majesty of the royal city!"

The old man wanted to say something more, but seeing that Zhang Xiaoluo's face was getting colder and colder, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he agreed.

After the old man left, Zhang Xiaoluo stood in the attic, bowing his head and contemplating.

Shaoqing,

Sure enough, a servant came over with dung charcoal, and after the fire was lit, a thick smell of dung instantly overflowed in the exquisite attic.

The servant was about to withdraw after giving the salute, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoluo.

"You go and tell the people who let you come that this building is empty and rarely popular, send me ten, no, send twenty maids and twenty male slaves to come!"

This servant was a handsome young man, and after hearing what Zhang Xiaoluo said, his eyes widened and he was stunned in place. But remembering the words of the chief steward before this, he nodded yes and bowed out.

About an hour later, the old man came again, followed by twenty young maiden servants and twenty handsome male slaves.

"The slave you want, the old man personally selected and sent it to you, what else do you command?"

The old man forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked Zhang Xiaoluo respectfully, but disdain rose in his heart.

Zhang Xiaoluo walked to the side of those servants, looked at this, looked at that, with a posture of picking fat and thin, and finally walked back to the old man with a smile and nodded slightly.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoluo nodding, the old man hurriedly bowed again and saluted, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey! And also...... Feed! Say what about you! Don't go! ”

Seeing that the old man wanted to leave, Zhang Xiaoluo hurriedly shouted, and strode forward to pull the old man back.

"The old man Xiao Zhang Mingliang is in charge of the internal affairs of the royal city, and the old man ...... The old man doesn't call for hey! ”

The old man was pulled back by Zhang Xiaoluo, his face was already slightly angry, but he still forced himself to endure it, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and spoke.

"Oh, Uncle Xiao, I just wanted to ask, what am I eating today? The huge Snowy King City, what are you going to treat me with? ”

Zhang Xiaoluo smiled even more on his face, stretched out his hand to pull the old man's silky animal skin shirt, and asked softly.

"Oh, there are chefs from the Sixteen Cities of the Snowy Region in the Royal City, who can cook all kinds of dishes in the Four Regions of the Snowy Region, whatever you want to eat, just ask!"

The old man struggled to squeeze out a smile, and the disdain in his heart intensified.

"When you say that, you stump me! To be honest, I'm from outside the snowy region, not a snowy person, and I don't know much about the dishes of the snowy region. Alas, let's do it, don't be so troublesome, I heard that the snow wolf in the snow region is running away, so let's roast a snow wolf leg tonight! By the way, don't use other animal legs to perfunctory me, if you want to slaughter it, I will inspect it! ”

Zhang Xiaoluo still had a smile on his face, and he seemed to inadvertently say that he was not a citizen of the snowy region, and finally asked for a roasted snow wolf leg to eat.

When the old man heard this, he almost vomited blood in anger. The heart said that the snow wolf is the treasure of the snow region, the number of snow wolves is very small, and it is even more difficult to capture and tame, you actually want to roast the hind legs of the snow wolf to eat, you will really make do!

Zhang Xiaoluo saw that the other party seemed to be embarrassed, so he sighed heavily, and finally sat on the ground, bowing his head and saying nothing, like a little daughter-in-law who had been greatly wronged.

The old man pondered slightly, then walked towards Zhang Xiaoluo with a smile, stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and patted the dust behind Zhang Xiaoluo in a matter-of-fact manner.

"The old man will arrange to roast a snow wolf leg for you tonight! The front leg and the back leg are up to you! ”

Zhang Xiaoluo smiled with satisfaction, patted the old man's shoulder, looked like "I am optimistic about you", and lowered his head again and pondered.

After a long time, when he looked up, he found the old man still standing beside him, as if he was startled.

"Uncle Zhang, you ......

Why aren't you leaving? ”

The old man had already scolded Zhang Xiaoluo a thousand times in his heart, and said in his heart, why don't I go? I'm not afraid that you'll call me back when I'm gone! But he still had a smile on his face and replied respectfully.

"I'm afraid you have other orders, or ...... If you don't say it together, I'll arrange it in time! ”

Zhang Xiaoluo tilted his head and seemed to think for a long time, and finally said something to the old man.

"Let's do it today, and I'll think about it in the night, and I'll tell you tomorrow. By the way, remember to close the door for me! ”

After Zhang Xiaoluo finished speaking, he ignored the old man anymore, turned around and walked towards the attic.

The old man's old face turned white with anger, but in the end he endured it, turned around and walked out, not forgetting to close the courtyard door of the attic.

When the figure of the old man finally disappeared, Zhang Xiaoluo, who was standing in the attic, slowly withdrew his gaze.

"It's bearable, it looks like I'll have to think of something special tomorrow!"

After the old man left the attic where Zhang Xiaoluo lived, he entered the Jima Temple in the center of the royal city alone, and stopped at the door of a dark room in the Jima Temple. He reached out and patted the stone door of the dark room, waited for a moment, and then pushed the door into the dark room.

There seemed to be another person in the dark room, and the old man told in detail what had happened from the time Zhang Xiaoluo entered the royal city to the time when the old man left the courtyard where Zhang Xiaoluo lived. Even Zhang Xiaoluo's demeanor, expression, and range of movements when he spoke were described in great detail.

When the old man had finally finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged in the dark room. The people who had been in the chamber left the chamber through another door. The man walked for a long time with a twist and turn, and finally entered another dark room.

After the old man had told the story in detail, he sat down cross-legged in the dark room, and the other walked out of the dark room and went on.

In this way, after passing through four dark rooms, the last one finally reached the door of a secret room. This person did not enter, but sat down cross-legged at the door of the secret room, opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, the blood formed a blood mist in the air, and on the snow mist, there was a picture of everything that happened in the time between Zhang Xiaoluo entering the royal city and Xiao Liang leaving. Sometimes the image is still, sometimes it goes backwards, sometimes it repeats.

After a long time, a cold voice sounded in the secret room.

"Do as he says! As long as he stays in the royal city, he can grant him all his requests! ”

On the second day, the Great Priest of Wangcheng still did not summon Zhang Xiaoluo. Zhang Xiaoluo didn't seem to be in a hurry, and gave the old man Xiao Liang a small headache, so he stayed in the attic all day and didn't go out anymore.

What gave the old man Xiao Liang a headache was that Zhang Xiaoluo said that he began to miss his hometown outside the snowy region, and asked for a Yellow River carp to roast and taste the taste of his hometown.

On the third day, Zhang Xiaoluo asked for a copy of the Maoshan Fu Stiff Recipe that was inherited from Maoshan and rarely flowed into the world.

On the fourth day, Zhang Xiaoluo actually proposed that the reincarnation of the Huangquan Sutra, which is not passed on by the Taoist Xuanmen, seems to be more interesting, and he wants to understand it.

……

In the face of Zhang Xiaoluo's jaw-dropping requests, the old man Xiao Liang agreed without hesitation after a slight groan, and presented them within the time limit required by Zhang Xiaoluo.

Zhang Xiaoluo has been in the royal city for seven days, and every day he has come up with various ways to deliberately make things difficult and even humiliate this old man who has a prominent status in the entire royal city. But every time the old man was at the beginning of his anger, he suppressed the fire in his heart and faced Zhang Xiaoluo more respectfully.
