Chapter Seventy-Seven: Jiangcheng
In the next few days, except for the occasional time when we got off the bus to eat at the inn, or for convenience, the rest of the time we were all on the road.
However, after arriving in Jiangcheng, the soldiers at the gate of the city actually asked us to take out the invitation.
It turns out that Jiangcheng is now very tightly guarded, and if you want to enter the city, you must have an invitation from the commander of Jiangcheng, and the gate of this city is heavily guarded, and there are people patrolling day and night.
Those who dare to break through without an invitation will be shot directly.
"Invitations, we don't have them, but?" Chai Shao said, and directly took out a reward order from his baggage.
Spread it out and take a look, it is about the reward of the demon hunter invited by Naning Mansion.
The soldiers looked at us for a moment and asked, "Do you have a token for the Demon Deepavali Pavilion or the Demon Slayer Pavilion?" If there are none, dare to ask what sect it is? Can you explain? ”
When Chai Shao heard this, his eyes sank, and he took out the token of the Deepavali Pavilion from his baggage.
As soon as the soldiers saw the token of the Deepavali Pavilion, they returned the bounty order to Chai Shao and let us go.
Chai Shao's face became even more pale, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Now, if you want to eat, you have to move out of "him"!" ”
The "he" in Chai Shao's mouth is naturally Hu Hongtian.
When the carriage entered the river city, I lifted the corner of the curtain and looked outside, and found that it was quite lively, with a bustling crowd of people, shops on the side of the street, and many vendors setting up stalls on the side of the street.
It's just that, looking at these people, I am a little dazed, and I don't know where to look for my little uncle and them.
"They must not have the invitation of the commander of this Jiangcheng, since they can come in, they must also reveal the reward order of Ningfu, maybe we can meet them in Ningfu." Long Xuanling, who had been silent on the side, suddenly opened his mouth.
Hearing him say this, I pondered carefully, and it was indeed so.
So, let Chai Shao go to Ningfu first.
Chai Shaoben also planned to do the same, and asked the coachman to send us to Ningfu immediately.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of Ningfu, I was stunned, not because of how solemn and magnificent Ningfu was, but because the entire street outside the main gate of Ningfu was blocked by carriages and cars.
Chai Shao got out of the car with the reward order and went to the front to inquire about what the situation was now.
After asking, the servant of the Ning Mansion directly marked a seventy-eight on his reward order, and told him that if he came back tomorrow evening, today, it would definitely not be our turn.
Chai Shao had no choice but to come back in a gloomy manner, looking at the cars in front of him, it was indeed hopeless for us to take our turn today, so we wanted to find a hotel near Ningfu.
But this area is the most prosperous area in Jiangcheng, and it costs twenty oceans to stay overnight, and we and Chai Shao are shy in our pockets, so we can only go around in a circle, and finally live in a very ordinary inn with decoration according to the price of five oceans for a room.
Eating and drinking are not counted, five oceans in a room, it is indeed ridiculously expensive, but there is no way, we have no choice at all.
"It's been a tiring trip for the past two days, everyone goes back to the room to rest, and let's go to Ningfu tomorrow to wait." Chai Shao was eating Yangchun noodles while talking to me and Long Xuanling.
Mingyue pulled the noodles, these bowls of noodles cost a big ocean, but I didn't even see a little shredded meat.
"Ma'am, let's go out for a walk." Long Xuanling didn't have the slightest interest in these foods, so he pulled me and took me out for a walk.
I nodded, thinking that it had been a long time since I had walked with Long Xuanling.
"Miss Naluo, you should come back sooner." Mingyue looked at me and Long Xuanling and said.
I nodded, and pulled Long Xuanling out of the door of the inn.
Now that it was past noon, the sun outside was not scorching, Long Xuanling took me and walked slowly in the direction of Naning Mansion.
"Long Xuanling, are you?" I looked at Long Xuanling and understood his intentions, presumably he was going to inquire about the situation of the Ning family.
Sure enough, Long Xuanling stopped in front of a restaurant on the edge of Ning Mansion, went in and ordered a pot of tea, and sat down and drank slowly.
"Oh, how long has the shopkeeper been here, and none of them have really done it?" The guy leaned against the counter and looked at the cars outside.
"Hmph, the Ning family's affairs must be managed by a master, and those people in front of this must be mediocre." The shopkeeper glanced outside the door, grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and knocked them up.
"But the shopkeeper, you said, this Ning family has so much reward, the "matter" should not be small, right? The guy muttered.
The shopkeeper looked around his shop, which was already past the time to eat, and there were no customers in the shop.
Long Xuanling also deliberately talked to me, and the two of them pretended not to pay attention to the shopkeeper at all.
"You don't know about this, and it's not unusual, I also heard people talk about it at the commander's birthday banquet." The shopkeeper lowered his voice: "Do you know the eldest lady of the Ning family?" ”
"Who doesn't know that? I heard that she is very beautiful, and she will marry the eldest young master of Commander Zhang's family in the future. The man hurriedly answered.
"It's not, but the wedding date has been delayed now, and I heard that Miss Naning is sick!" The shopkeeper's "sick" flip-flop is extremely long.
The guy didn't open his mind, and asked rhetorically: "If you are sick, don't go to the doctor, what do you ask these charlatans to do?" ”
"Huh? Why are you so stupid, her? The shopkeeper wanted to say something, but when a guest came, the word stopped abruptly and let the guy greet the guest.
I looked at Long Xuanling, who hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
And on the street behind him, a black car stopped at this moment.
When I saw the man in the driver's seat of the car wearing an eye patch, my heart trembled.
Gu Shaoting? Why did Gu Shaoting come here too?
Before, I was still thinking that the Demon Slayer Pavilion should be busy catching Long Xuanling and me, and I didn't have the time to get involved in these things, but I didn't expect that Gu Shaoting would actually come.
And, next to Gu Shaoting, sat Liu Yusheng.
The two of them got out of the car directly and walked towards the gate of the Ning Mansion, as if they had some permission, they drove around to the front, and were directly invited into the mansion without waiting.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Long Xuanling saw me looking straight behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head as well.
"Let's go, I just saw the people from the Deepavali Pavilion." I lowered my voice and said to Long Xuanling.
Long Xuanling disagreed: "How can they endure me?" ”
"But?" I frowned worriedly.
What I'm afraid of is that after my whereabouts are revealed, the people from the Demon Slayer Pavilion and the Demon Slayer Pavilion will gather here to slay the dragon.
"Madame, you need not worry." Long Xuanling said, putting his hand on the back of my hand.
I could only sigh and say no more.
