Chapter Seventy-Nine: The City Gate Oolong

An evil wind blew on the avenue, blowing the hair of Zheng Xiaoyao and the others, and the stunned look on his face behind him made people laugh.

After being stunned for a while, Zheng Xiaoyao said in a hesitant tone: "It should be fine, and in this way, we can find it in the future, and we can also sense whether it is dangerous, so it's good to keep it, right?"

Mu Tianzi didn't know the reason, and the reason why he asked it was only because what he said when he subdued the Fire Tiger was to let him lead the way, and when he was separated, he would release his control over it, and when he heard what Zheng Xiaoyao said, he didn't take it to heart anymore, nodded and said no more.

And Zheng Li'er, naturally, didn't know, just like Mu Tian, listening to Zheng Xiaoyao's words, he would only feel that it was very good, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Except for the big orange in Zheng Li'er's arms, after listening to the former's words, the big orange raised his head and sighed, speechless for this group of people who didn't have a little common sense, of course, it was pure contempt for Zheng Xiaoyao.

In Da Tangerine's heart, he can only give his most sincere wishes to the fire tiger who has gone away, and hopes that the stupid tiger can stick to these people.

Taking another step, several people walked together towards the distant Iron and Wood City, and the road did not end.

Walking in the front, Zheng Xiaoyao silently said a word of apology in his heart and gave it to the fire tiger.

But I didn't know that because of Zheng Xiaoyao's laziness this time, the Fire Tiger had a very 'beautiful' and memorable life in the Tianlan Mountains for a few months.

Zheng Xiaoyao didn't go back to find the Fire Tiger, as prefaced, firstly, because he was too lazy to find it, and secondly, the level of the spirit beasts in the Tianlan Mountain Range was not high, and the strength of the Fire Tiger after taking the Yuan Soul Fruit for a few months should be unhindered, at most there was some flesh and skin suffering, so forget it, just use it as exercise, this is Zheng Xiaoyao's inner activity.

Walking all the way on the avenue, the caravans came and went, and after walking for a while, seeing Zheng Li'er's tired face, he took out a spirit stone and exchanged it for a few horses, and several people rode forward.

The sky finally darkened, and in the eyes of several people, they finally saw the outline of the city, and there was a rush in their eyes, but they didn't feel that the time was difficult, and the speed was unconsciously raised.

In the night, the lights were bright in front of the Iron and Wood City, and many people crowded into a heap, discussing what was fierce, and in front of the city gate, the situation was the most intense.

Zheng Xiaoyao found out and peeped secretly for a while, and then he knew the content of the matter.

It turned out that these people all came to Tiemu City after nightfall, but after they came, they found that the gate of Tiemu City, which should have been wide open, was tightly closed, and the people who came at first did not know why, but they had no choice but to wait under the city gate.

Later, several caravans came to Tiemu City one after another, but they still did not enter Tiemu City.

After a while, a person appeared above the city gate, at first no one noticed the existence of this person, and this person did not take the initiative to speak, standing at the head of the city, looking at the people and horses in front of the city gate, smiling, as if disdainful.

It wasn't until one of them happened to look up at the city wall that he noticed this man, and after he had spoken to the others, all the people present gathered at the bottom of the city and looked up at the figure above the city gate.

Naturally, there is no shortage of people who can speak.

"That man above, open the gates of the city and let me in. ”

"The goods we sent are from the Li family's shop in the city, if it is delayed, you can take on it as a small guard. ”

......

Everyone said one after another, it was very lively, but the figure above the city gate never spoke, and his eyes were full of disdain to look down at the people in the audience, as if it was a farce, and he looked at it with a smile on his face.

After waiting for everyone to lose their voices, they slowly spoke, revealing the posture of the superior and pinching their tone.

"Listen, I am the steward of the city lord's mansion, according to the latest instructions of the city lord, for the sake of the stability of the night in the city, the curfew will be enforced in the city from today, but the city lord is kind-hearted, and he does not want to wait for the long way but waits outside the city. ”

The man paused for a moment, then spoke again: "I am specially ordered to open the convenient gate for you at this city gate at night, and make it convenient for you." ”

After saying this, the steward of the Ironwood City City Lord's Mansion stopped again, but the people under the city gate were not calm.

"Curfew, do something useless. ”

"Brother Wang, don't be angry, you can also be considerate, after all, this iron and wood city is really chaotic at night, so it's good for us, don't you also order the people and horses to open the city gate, it's convenient, although it's a little troublesome, but forget it." ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate and let our carriages and horses go in to rest. ”

The man above the city spoke again and continued: "But there are inevitably some unscrupulous elements among you, if you let them in, it will not be contrary to the original intention of our city lord to impose a curfew, but how can you distinguish which of you is close to Tiemu City, and who is the person who has come to Tiemu City to make trouble, this is a problem. ”

"I thought about it day and night, and finally came up with a wonderful way, now many buildings in the city are in urgent need of repair, but the finances are extremely tight, so I believe that people who are close to Tiemu City, and people who want to make friends with Tiemu City, will definitely not sit idly by, I don't know what you think. ”

After the man finished speaking, there was only one common voice in the hearts of the people gathered in front of the city gate.

Shameless, too shameless, this Tiemu City wants to go crazy for money, isn't it afraid of the punishment of the Tianlan royal family for doing this?

What curfew, what repairs, it's just an excuse to collect money, this city lord of Tiemu City is really bold, do you really think that this Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the Tianlan royal family can't manage it here?

Everyone present was angry, they were already miserable people, they took the risk to bring these goods, and got a little silver taels, if they were handed over tonight, wouldn't the busy time of the half month be in vain?

There was a lot of noise in front of the city gate, but there was no one who paid the money, and everyone had the idea of sleeping overnight, who would be stupid enough to hand over their hard-won money in exchange for a night's stability.

In the distance, a carriage slowly came, the sound of horses' hooves resounded, and when you got closer, the carriage was gorgeously decorated, and the people sitting in it were not ordinary people.

The people who were blocking in front of the carriage dispersed, all the way unimpeded, the carriage came to the city gate smoothly, seeing that the city gate was closed, the carriage could only stop, the person who drove the carriage got out of the car, saw the man above the city gate, and asked scolded: "Who are you, don't open the city gate, Ruosi has angered my young master, you can't eat and walk around." ”

It seems that he is used to doing such things, or he has followed a good master, giving the coachman endless courage in this city, anyway, he said it to the steward of the city lord's mansion.

And the man was scolded by a coachman like this, how could he bear it, and jumped off the city wall directly, and the whole picture of his body was exposed to everyone's eyes for the first time.

On top of the fat body was a gorgeous robe, on which gold and silver threads were intertwined, which looked extremely gorgeous, but in the eyes of the monk it was unusually cheesy.

His right hand stretched out and fanned hard at the coachman's face, and under the firelight, you could clearly see the delicate finger rings on his five fingers, glowing with golden rings, which were eye-catching.

Gold and silver are popular currencies among ordinary people, and they have no value for cultivators, neither can they be used to buy heavenly treasures, nor can they help cultivation, coupled with the noble status of cultivators, it is rare for people to carry these mundane things on their bodies, and they are so dazzling.

The coachman fell to the ground in response, and the man snorted softly and said angrily: "The steward of my dignified city lord's mansion is also something that you, a little coachman, can insult?"

When the coachman heard this, he suddenly felt remorse, but he was slapped by someone, and naturally there was a little resentment in his heart, how could he bow his head, look at the man head-on, and said: "I am Xu Shao's person, you dare to beat me!"

Xu Shao, the people of the Xu family, the madman Xu Wolf, the steward of the madman Xu Wolf, came up with a few words in his heart, as the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, he would naturally have heard of the big and small things in the city, and Xu Lang of the Xu family was also 'famous', so he would naturally not be unfamiliar.

Listening to the coachman's words, the steward's heart was also shocked, if it was really this person, he would not end up well today.

came back to his senses, bent down a little, looked at the carriage respectfully, and whispered in the steward's mouth: "I don't know if it's Xu Shao's carriage, and I ask Xu Shao to forgive me." ”

Seeing the steward's apology, the coachman immediately raised his head, looking at the steward's eyes full of disdain, seeing that I don't take revenge, the coachman thought in his heart.

Coachman: "Xu Shao, I'm your person, but he slapped me by virtue of his identity, the little one is fine, but this is your face!"

When the steward heard this, he suddenly secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly spoke: "Xu Shao forgives the sin, it is really this person who has spoken out, and the villain is a lesson, please Xu Shaoming." ”

After speaking, the steward's head turned to the side of the coachman, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, revealing warnings, how could the coachman be afraid at this time, and he frowned at the steward, full of disdain and provocation.

This scene happened in front of the city gate, and naturally attracted the attention of everyone at the city gate, and everyone looked forward to discussing who was in the car.

In the expectation of everyone, the person in the car finally opened his mouth in the next second, and his figure was revealed.

I saw that behind the door curtain, an arm reached out, slowly peeled off the door curtain to the side, and the body also leaned out of the car.

The person in the car spoke, with arrogance in his voice, and said: "Isn't this Steward Li? ”

As soon as the voice came out, the person in charge listened to the voice that was not the same as the voice of the person in his memory, raised his head suddenly, and when he saw the person in the car, his face was ugly, and he snorted lightly, and stood upright, and his face regained his proud color.

"Xu Fei, what can you do if I kill him. ”

The young man's name is Xu Fei, and he is also a child of the Xu family's generation, but unlike Xu Lang, his cultivation talent is extremely ordinary, and naturally his status in the Xu family is far inferior to the former, but his character is arrogant and domineering.

But in the eyes of others, Xu Fei was a joke, no one would look down on him, and the steward was also disgraced because he had begged for mercy from this person before.

Xu Fei looked at the steward and replied unceremoniously: "My Xu family's dog, you try to kill one." ”

Both sides had no intention of retreating, and neither of them had ever overpowered the other.

But Xu Fei felt bored, leaned against the car door with his hand on the back of his head, looked at the steward, and whispered: "Dog, this young master is still rushing back to Chunfeng Tower to meet his sweetheart, and he won't let go." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the coachman and said to him: "Dog minion, why are you stunned, come up to catch the car for Ben Dashao, and delay the time to ask you to look good." ”

Listening to Xu Fei's words, the steward's face was like pig's liver, his nose was panting, and his mood was not calm for a long time, but the horseman on the side got into the carriage and lifted the horsewhip.

"What are you doing, and rush straight over. ”

Xu Fei saw that the coachman had not moved for a long time, so he stretched out from behind the curtain and kicked at the coachman, kicking the latter to a rocking and almost planting the carriage.

The coachman glanced at the closed city gate in front of him, but he still didn't move, and said nervously: "But young master, the city gate ......."

Xu Fei kicked the driver in the back again, and shouted: "What are you afraid of, just hit it, I don't believe this dog dares to stop me." ”

The coachman had no choice but to grit his teeth and whip his whip to drive the horses and carts towards the closed city gates.
