Chapter 315: Chunyang City Acting City Lord
Huaibei is colder than Huainan, but it is a little warmer than Kyoto, in winter, the cotton robe is added to the body and can not feel the cold wind, in the summer, but the whistling southwest wind is accompanied by the yellow sand flying around, that momentum, as if at any time to be able to roll up Zhou Luo, who has become thin into a human child.
In Tao Jinyan's words, Zhou Luo was picked up by Chu Nian from Chuyang City for nothing, Huaibei has few trees, the terrain is complex, the city is separated by mountains, and the mountains are foggy in the early morning, fortunately, Zhou Luo can find a way out without looking at the surrounding scenery, and the group does not have to wait for the wind to blow away the fog before daring to set off.
Despite this, everyone traveled day and night, and only arrived at the second city on the third day - Chunyang City, the city lord of this city in the early years because he did not succumb to the obscenity of the Wang family, the Wang family found an excuse to destroy the full gate, and no descendants remained, so the city lord was simply empty, and now the person who manages the affairs of the city is the person sent by Prince Lu.
This person's name is Yu Rong, as for the surname, it is said that he himself does not know, since he was a child, he was a little beggar who was picked up by Prince Lu, and now that he has grown up, he can be regarded as a beautiful young man, but it is a pity that he has been with Prince Lu for a long time, and he will be influenced by Prince Lu into a wallgrass.
He personally received Chu Nian and the others, and the flattery in his words made even Zhou Luo feel the joy of being held in the sky for the first time.
Tao Jinyan didn't plan to leave, and when it was night, he simply lived in the wing of the courtyard arranged by Yu Rong for Chu Nian, and walked around the courtyard in the middle of the night wearing obscene clothes without shame, as if the wind in Chunyang City couldn't blow him.
It's night again, Chu Nian sat in front of the window reading, when he saw a figure walking around in the yard, most of his hair was burned by fire, and the original waist-length black hair was now left with a trace of broken hair on his shoulders, this gentleman who cared about his hairstyle very much trimmed himself himself, and his shoulder-length hair was broken, only covering the bangs at the corners of his forehead, revealing a beautiful point, but also graceful, which made the peach blossom eyes look more and more unbelievable.
Only the blister on his face was still piercing, and Chu Nian had to sigh every time he saw it, and Mr. Jinyan, who said it bluntly, turned red and hid back in his room before he would give up.
However, Mr. Jinyan didn't give Chu Nian this face today, he looked at Chu Nian's eyes with a little teasing, but his face was unexpectedly serious.
"You don't want to joke about me as a hero mark anymore," he said, he simply exposed the side face that had been ruined by a blister in front of Chu Nian's eyes, and stretched out his hand to point at it, for fear that Chu Nian would not see it, "This is to save you." β
Chu Nian pouted, "You have taken a fork in the road by yourself, I went in and brought a maid back with a beautiful maid but I was still unscathed, but I was born here with you, why did I burn so badly?" β
A hint of uncertainty flashed in Tao Jinyan's eyes, and after a while, he reached out with a half-tone smile and pinched Chu Nian's face, "I'm afraid that I can't talk about the county lord in this life, but I came today to ask you something." β
Chu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Hmm." β
"Let's come to Chunyang City for more than five days."
Chu Nian nodded nonchalantly.
"More than five days of pleasure in the Acting City Lord's Mansion?"
"Hmm."
"Haven't you seen any of the people outside?"
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you here to find fault?" β
"Who has time to talk to you, but tell me what we're doing in Chunyang City?"
Seeing that Tao was in a hurry, Chu Nian couldn't help but sneer, and then said: "Look at you monkey anxious, Zhou Luo is not in a hurry for you, look at that kid's life now, the whole world is a little demon king." β
When he first arrived, Zhou Luo came with lofty ideals. As one of the ordinary people who have been oppressed all year round, he wants to use his understanding of Huaibei to help Chu Nian punish all the corrupt officials of the Huaibei generation.
Once the oath was made, that kid was like a chicken, and she followed Chu Nian wherever he went, saying that she wanted to learn how Chu Nian punished evil and promoted good.
It's a pity that as soon as this momentum entered the Pure Yang City Lord's Mansion, it was extinguished, this Chunyang City Lord's Mansion had good food and a lot of fun things, and everyone was respectful to Chu Nian and his party, Zhou Luo was still a young man after all, and when he played like this, his lofty ambitions were suddenly left behind.
No, there is a lantern festival in the city tonight, Chu Nian said that it was troublesome, so he didn't go, so he asked Yurong to take a group of children who came from nowhere and were about the same size as Zhou Luo to play on the street.
"Zhou Luo is Zhou Luo," Tao Jinyan's face was serious, "Children are very important to play, if we do business, he will follow to do business, if we are addicted to fun, then children can still have a good child?" β
Chu Nian couldn't help but smile and glanced at Tao Jinyan, who was righteous, and then saw Tao Jinyan continue: "Besides, if you go back too late, Ming Xiu won't be able to grind me to death, and you won't be annoyed by a long letter in the past three days." β
The last sentence was lowered a little, but it was still captured by Chu Nian, Chu Nian's eyes were bent, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart, since she arrived in Chunyang City, Ming Xiu's letter has not been broken, and the letter is probably because Chu Nian was annoyed by the matter of cutting first and then playing in Chuyang City, but more of it was concern, and learned that Tao Jinyan got into the fire in order to save her but returned in vain, and Ming Xiu only gave him two words "deserved".
A martial arts overlord and an heir to the throne, these two are high and powerful, but they are also extremely naΓ―ve masters.
Chu Nian glanced at Tao Jinyan with a smile, but his eyes were slightly downcast.
The red lips hooked a meaningful smile, she raised her head and looked at Tao Jinyan, "The person we are waiting for is here." β
At this moment, Tao Jinyan also realized something, only to see him frown, and in a blink of an eye, disappeared in place, Chu Nian seemed to be very satisfied with Tao Jinyan's upper path, smiled slightly, and immediately pretended to fall asleep, calmly blew out the candle, turned around, and disappeared into darkness.
Silence returned to the courtyard, as if no one had ever been there.
At the same time, the downtown of Chunyang City is brightly lit, Huaibei is still some distance from Kyoto, so people live very freely, compared to Kyoto, when the city is dark at night, Chunyang City is still brightly lit at midnight.
People came and went on the street, and a young man followed behind a woman and a young man, watching the young man swallow strings of sugar gourds one after another, and secretly felt sorry for his wallet in his heart.
Behind them were three guard-looking people, who were looking around with unusually serious faces at the moment.
Dark Three looked at Dark One, Dark One seemed to groan, and after a while, his eyes signaled, and Dark Two suddenly disappeared into the crowd.
"Is that a sugar man?" The young man pointed to a small stall not far away and shouted excitedly.
The young man behind him had a bitter face, but he still smiled, "Yes, Xiao Langjun wants to eat?" Xiaguan went to buy it for Xiao Langjun to taste. β
As soon as the words fell, he saw that the young man had already rushed forward, Ah Mo turned his eyes to Shang's almost distorted face, smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at Zhou Luo and said, "Ah Luo, don't eat too many sweets, be careful of tooth decay." β
Zhou Luo mentioned a sugar man who looked like a monk, turned his eyes and grinned at Ah Mo: "If the lady is here, I won't dare to eat a bite, but now that the lady is not here, if I don't eat a little more, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." β
Ah Mo shook his head helplessly, and saw Zhou Luo carrying the sugar man in front of him, and seemed to have a strange "huh", looked at the vendor at the stall and said, "Why does this sugar man look so familiar?" But what kind of celebrity is used as a template? β
The peddler originally saw the simplicity of the little boy in front of him, but he recognized the appearance of the city lord behind him, and at this moment he said with a flattering smile: "Back to Xiao Langjun's words, this is a sugar man made with the famous floating monk as a template, and the dolls in the city like the big monk, and now this one sells the best." β
"Floaty?" Bai Mo stepped forward, and his demeanor also followed, at this moment he was frowning and looking at the sugar man in Zhou Luo's hand, and after a while, he looked at the vendor with anger on his face, as if he was a little uncomfortable, "This floating monk has no evil, do you dare to make him into a sugar man and sell it?" Hurry up and retreat, and tell you, if this city lord sees any more images of floating monks in the city, believe it or not, I will behead you all! β
The vendor was taken aback by the appearance, so he hurriedly covered up the candy figures on his stall, "City, city lord......"
Bai Mo and Zhou Luo glanced at each other a little strangely, Zhou Luo looked sideways at the still ruthless face, at this moment, he looked at the sugar man in Zhou Luo's hand, his face was full of hatred, his eyes almost burst into flames, and his subordinates trembled more than once, and the people who were still flattering were now as if they had forgotten the existence of Zhou Luo and Bai Mo.
"Ahem, who is this floating monk?" Zhou Luo looked at Yurong with some curiosity, the sugar man in his hand hid behind him, Yurong suddenly woke up like a dream, and turned his eyes to see that the entourage of the peerless county lord was looking at him curiously, and he smiled embarrassedly as if he was hiding something.
"Floating...... It's not a person, it's a big monk who has been wandering blindly in Huaibei all the year round, saying that he is a monk, but he drinks wine and eats meat, even close to women, a few days ago he did some bad things in my Chunyang City and fled, the prince heard about this matter and asked me to investigate thoroughly, and the big monk was arrested and brought to justice, but we have not been able to find the whereabouts of this monk. β
He looked a little regretful, and the annoyance on his face was considerate, as if he was just a city lord who was angry at the drunken monk who had committed a crime.
Zhou Luo sensitively sensed that something was wrong, he turned his eyes to look at Bai Mo, and both of them remained silent.
At this moment, because the city lord was annoyed, the little trader had already collected his things and fled, the sugar man naturally didn't need to pay, and Zhou Luo didn't mean to eat the sugar man, but carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then turned his head to look at Yu Rong and said: "Today, there is a city lord of Laodai, I will truthfully report the prosperity in Chunyang City to my lady, and the city lord can rest assured." β
Seeing that this kid finally had the intention of going back, Yu Rong touched his remaining silver and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this stall, the dark two not far away fell between the dark three and the dark one, and nodded silently to the two, because they followed too far, the three people in front did not notice the small movements of the dark guards.
Dark Yicai turned his eyes to look at Dark Three and said, "You go back and report to the lady, just say that we will go back soon." β
