Chapter 224: City Lord's Mansion
At this time, it was not the time to talk about this, Lin Zuiliu didn't mention this matter, and the two stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, you look at me, I look at you.
"Really got in, huh? The emperor should know that we are in Xinye City, if we find the city lord so aggressively, will the emperor call us back to the palace? ”
The two of them have been crazy outside for a few months, and Qi Jingheng is alone in the capital, without Liao Luan's assistance, and the whole thing is very busy.
"It's okay, let's go in." He has always been respectful and fearless to Qi Jingheng, and now that he has something to do, he naturally will not be afraid of what Qi Jingheng will give him.
The two hesitated at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time and did not enter or leave, looking sneaky on their faces, and successfully attracted the attention of the guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
One of them stepped forward, stretched out his knife in front of them, and said in a cold voice, "Who are you two?" Why do you keep looking at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion? Those who have nothing to do are not ready to leave. ”
Seeing that everyone came up to ask, Lin Zuiliu naturally didn't continue to procrastinate, she tugged on Liao Luan's sleeve with one hand, and looked up at the guard in armor.
"Naturally, we came here because of something, we won't come here if it's okay, in fact, it's like this, little brother, we want to meet the city lord of Xinye City."
Sure enough, it was the princess of Zhennan, and all the requests were made very righteously, and the words were not shocking.
Even Liao Luan, who had a stiff face, couldn't control himself when he saw the stunned expression of the guard opposite, and laughed "poof", and then reached out and clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
The guard was speechless for a moment before he spoke, "What are your identities?" The city lord has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't entertain guests easily, so if the two of you have nothing to do, please go back. ”
Lin Zuiliu ignored him and stretched out his hand directly at Liao Luan, only to see him touch it from the bag, and after a while, he took out a sign.
The sign is not big or small, almost the size of the palm of the hand, golden, with uneven lines painted with carvings and handwriting, and a string of golden tassels at the bottom.
Lin Zuiliu directly closed the sign, handed it to the guard without looking at it, and then said with a smile: "I have to bother the guard brother to show this thing to the city lord, and after reading it, he will naturally decide whether to come to see us or not." ”
After reading it, he shouldn't dare to disappear.
Originally, the guards were a little impatient that someone was messing around like this, but Lin Zuiliu's attitude was really very good, not to mention that the sign she handed to herself didn't look like an ordinary object.
If he really misses any distinguished guests, he will definitely be punished at that time, and not only that, but he may not survive.
It's hard to be a guard.
He sighed, held the sign in his hand, and then said: "Then please wait here for a while, wait for your subordinates to report, and then decide whether to let the two of you go in if you get the words of the city lord." ”
"Okay, okay, you go, hurry in, hurry up, come out, we'll wait here." She said a few words to this man, and saw that he really entered the door very cooperatively.
The two waited at the door for a while, the weather was cold, the wind was a little strong outside, and Lin Zuiliu also felt that his hands and feet were a little cold.
Fortunately, the man pretended to have something in his heart, and he moved quickly, and he ran out after a while.
Coming out with him, there was also a middle-aged man in formal clothes, his clothes were not dressed yet, he should have changed just now.
He's not tall, he's a little skinny, but he's a bit imposing.
This person was wearing a black gauze hat, and the two guards who had just entered the door hurried over and stood in front of Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan.
Then he suddenly made a big salute, and said with excitement in his tone: "Wechen knocks to see ......"
Before he finished speaking, the whole person was held up by a force, and he involuntarily followed, looking at himself left and right suspiciously.
"No need to be polite, this time I am just making a private visit on behalf of the emperor's micro-service, I need to ask you for help if I have something, don't expose my whereabouts."
A cold voice sounded beside him, and Liao Luan, who had walked in front of this kind of thing, seemed to have become the decisive and indifferent King of Zhennan in the capital.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, you won't say it, Weichen is very strict." He nodded and said twice, "Lord Wang, let's go in and say?" ”
The guard below was also shocked, fortunately, he was not a dog's eye, otherwise the city lord would know that he had turned away all the princes from the capital, and where could he still have his life.
This city lord only knew that Liao Luan was the prince, and Lin Zuiliu stood next to him wearing a man's clothes, looking handsome and beautiful, but he didn't know him.
"Dare to ask who the little brother next to him is?" He opened his mouth in confusion, and even thought about it in his head, whether this person was the male favorite of the prince of Zhennan.
However, King Zhennan has always been upright, and he would never do such a thing that is criticized by the world, so he forced his thoughts and asked.
This is not very easy to explain, Lin Zuiliu came out to change into men's clothes, the purpose is not to let people know her identity, and now that she asks, she can probably only lie.
"Look at my memory, I actually forgot to introduce myself, the city lord is good, I'm just a doctor in the rivers and lakes, it's not worth mentioning."
What's the matter with the big man, what is there around him, he asked in vain, but it's just that it's a little inconvenient to think that he doesn't know how to call it, but since people have already said that he is a doctor, it's not good to ask again.
A few people crossed the front yard into the lobby, the city lord's mansion is not the same as the building of the capital, how magnificent it is, and there are not so many garden arrangements, it looks very majestic.
When the two entered the lobby, the city lord directly gave up the position of the head to Liao Luan, after all, Lin Zuiliu is just a doctor now, and it is not good to take the lead, so he only sat down with the city lord.
The two sat on Liao Luan's left and right, and they complemented each other perfectly.
However, after sitting here for a while, the tea was served, and he didn't see anyone talking, so he could only mention the words himself: "I don't know what the important thing is when the prince came here today?" Subordinates must cooperate. ”
The attitude is very good, Lin Zuiliu has visited so many cities, and this city lord's understanding is quite good.
It's just that my son is not good...... Lin Zuiliu thought of the unattractive son who had just met him, and he was still a little sorry in his heart.
There's no successor.
"Recently, this king has been investigating a murder case, and now there are many cities that have been in turmoil one after another, and the root cause of the turmoil, if this king is not mistaken, it is probably in Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Nanzhao Kingdom?" He frowned and repeated, "Nanzhao Kingdom is not close to our Xinye City, so you came here to spread wild?" Merely...... Lord Wang, my subordinates really haven't heard anyone report to the official about murder. ”
Naturally, he can't hear it, and the affairs on the rivers and lakes are usually settled by himself, and he never goes to report to the official together because a few people are dead.
Even if it is reported, it may not be really useful, and the government and the forces in the rivers and lakes do not interfere with each other, which is an unwritten rule.
Therefore, when Liao Luan heard this, he just said lightly, "It's just a matter of rivers and lakes." ”
As soon as he heard that the city lord still didn't understand something, his own son was obsessed with martial arts, and he was very angry with shouting and killing all day long.
In addition, because Xinye City is the place where the previous martial arts conferences have been held, and the alliance leader's mansion has been built here, it is a place where everyone knows martial arts.
"I see...... I don't know what the hell is going on, and the prince still needs to go out in person? ”
King Zhennan has a high status and a very high status, except for leading troops to fight, he has never heard of what miscellaneous idle work the emperor arranged for him to delay his time.
"It's very likely that this is a big conspiracy, and I haven't investigated it too clearly until now, but I still hope that the city lord will be ready to gather troops in case of emergency."
Each city will basically set aside some people to guard the stability in the city, saying that it is a soldier, but in fact it is just a guard, seeing that the city lord nodded and responded.
Liao Luan stood up without any delay and said lightly: "In this case, the king over there will leave first." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Zuiliu, "Xiao Lin, let's go." ”
The city lord was still thinking about how to prepare a reception banquet for Liao Luan, but he didn't think that after saying a few words, this person was leaving.
He also thought that I had done something bad to make the king of Zhennan not want to see him, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and stumbled: "Prince, won't the prince stay for a meal and then leave?" ”
"No need, I have the ability to serve private patrols, it is inconvenient to stay longer, just remember my words as long as the city lord remembers my words." He restrained his emotions and nodded, and then took Lin Zuiliu and was about to go out.
As soon as he got out of the lobby, there was a noise outside, Liao Luan frowned and looked up, only to find that the sound came from the door.
Before he could ask, the city lord behind him directly reprimanded, "You bastard, what kind of noisy and noisy person is it, get out of here." ”
He was naturally embarrassed to be so embarrassed in front of the nobles, and he didn't pay attention to any rules such as half a step behind him, and walked a few steps forward past Liao Luan.
Then Lin Zuiliu saw the short and chubby pockmarked face he saw in the tavern today.
"Where did you go to the wild for so long, you refused to study, but you wanted to learn martial arts, and now I have found you a master who learns martial arts, you still don't study well, you want to be angry with me."
When they met, it was a crackling reprimand, Lin Zuiliu almost laughed and her stomach hurt, where did she think about it, before she opened her mouth, she heard the man speak.
"Dad, I saw a peerless master in white clothes today, on the second floor so high, he took someone to fly, and he couldn't see the fast figure."
This description is a bit familiar, Lin Zuiliu thought for a moment and confirmed that this person should be Liao Luan.
