Chapter 179: The Order of the Black Feather
After entering Wucheng, Shangguan Jiyue found that the buildings of the entire city were also all black, which was like a wizard's castle in the Western world.
The top floor of each building has a totemic-like circular sign, and the fine lines on the totem make her feel very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
The scorching sun was overhead, and the baking ground was hot, Shangguan Jiyue looked at the black building, but felt the cold air drilling straight into the body from the center of her feet.
A few people passed by sparsely on the street from time to time, and Shangguan Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, not all of the people here wear black. Except for these black buildings, the rest of the place is not much different from other cities, otherwise, this place is really weird.
Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, those conspicuous Shenzi signboards, she really admires it now, how can Shen Peifeng do business in this weird city?
But fortunately, thanks to Shen Peifeng's outstanding skills, she and Mo Yi pretended to be his name and blended into this mysterious Wucheng to investigate the truth.
casually found a good inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, Shangguan Jiyue jumped out of the carriage, and Mo Yi also jumped out of the car.
Looking at Mo Yi wearing a moon-white robe and holding a folding fan, Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but frown, why did she feel so awkward? Obviously, Mo Yi is also a talent, but he doesn't have the temperament of Shen Peifeng at all.
She shook her head lightly and sighed, it seems that there are some things that can't be pretended. Fortunately, when they entered the city, they no longer had to swagger and deceive in the name of Shen Peifeng, otherwise they would have to show their stuffing.
Little did she know, however, that when they first entered the city gates, they were already exposed.
Mo Yi noticed Shangguan Jiyue's expression, opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish", shook it lightly, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How is it?" Isn't the master very handsome? ”
Shangguan Jiyue laughed out loud: "You frivolous appearance, it is estimated that your eldest brother's reputation will be ruined in your hands." ”
Mo Yi listened to it one by one and was not happy: "Why am I worse than my eldest brother?" Yes, he looks a little better than me, but he doesn't have such a cheerful and free personality as me! ”
"Yes! My eldest young master, you are handsome and chic, okay? Let's go quickly, haven't you seen that the shopkeeper is in a hurry? ”
After speaking, Shangguan Jiyue raised her hand and took out the box with the purple gold Wurong gun from the car and carried it on her back, took out two more packages, one in each hand, and urged.
When Mo Yi saw it, he immediately put away the fan in his hand, and stepped forward to help Shangguan Jiyue carry something, but was stopped by Shangguan Jiyue with a look.
Where is the reason why the young master carries things and the scholar is empty-handed? Didn't you see the shopkeepers all cast surprised eyes at them?
asked for two upper rooms, and the shopkeeper retreated with a smile. I thought to myself, why didn't he have such a good life, a scholar could be treated like a master and live in a separate upper room?
Is it because he doesn't look as handsome as the little scholar just now? The shopkeeper looked up at the sky and sighed silently, alas! It seems that this is a world that looks at appearance, and appearance is really important!
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Mo Yi hurriedly took over the things in Shangguan Jiyue's hand, and said unhappily: "I'll just say that I am a scholar, you are a young master, you see, these heavy jobs have been done by you." ”
Shangguan Jiyue looked up at Mo Yi, who was almost a head taller than herself, compared the height of the two with her hand, and said with a smile: "I am a young master?" That's great! Why don't you retract your height? ”
When Mo heard this, he was a little dumbfounded for a while: "This is all long, how can you retract it?" ”
"Then I don't know."
"Brother Qi, even if I can't be a scholar, then I can pretend to be your bodyguard!" Mo Yi said again without giving up.
Shangguan Jiyue coughed lightly, patted him on the shoulder with one hand, and said earnestly: "Mo Yi! The important thing is not whether you can shrink back or not, but that the scholar and bodyguard have not grown up like you! ”
After speaking, Shangguan Jiyue stepped out of the door, leaving Mo Yi stunned on the spot. What should a scholar look like? What should a bodyguard look like? Is Ah Cai and Ah Fu like the big brother?
Thinking like this, Mo Yi trembled all over, if that was the case, it would be too terrible, he should be his young master well.
Inside the Mansion of the Lord of Wucheng.
A long figure in the eight-fold screen in the hall stood with his hands in his hands, looked down at the four ingots of silver on the table, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "Interesting!" Shen Peifeng actually entered the city with his identity papers, and he would give gifts to the guards guarding the city, don't you think it's funny? ”
A tall and mighty general in armor standing outside the screen immediately bowed his hand and replied, "City Lord, what are we going to do?" ”
"What should I do?" The man in the screen walked slowly, pondered for a moment and smiled, "Spread the news that there is a defense map in the dark pavilion, and remove half of the guards in the city, and half of the guards in the palace will also be removed, just as if they have never been to Wucheng, no matter what they do, don't stop it." ”
"Half of the guards in the house have been removed?! But you ......," General Lu was a little speechless and stopped.
"Is General Lu disgusted that the city lord doesn't know martial arts?" The man's voice was not angry.
"The last general will not dare!" Brother Lu Weihe lowered his eyebrows and arched his hand, "The last general is just worried about the safety of the city lord!" The last general promised the old city lord that he would not let you miss anything. ”
"General Lu, I know that you are loyal to your grandfather, but General Lu should not forget that my grandfather entrusted this Wucheng to me when he was alive, and I had no choice but to become the lord of this Wucheng. Since I have taken this position, no matter what decision I make, you must obey unconditionally, otherwise, I don't want the position of city lord! ”
The man was visibly angry, and his warm voice became sharp.
"Yes! The last will obey! This was done as the lord of the city commanded. ”
"Let's go down. Take out the silver and return it to the two guards, since it was rewarded by Young Master Shen, let them spend it with peace of mind. A faint voice spat out of the man's mouth, and no emotion could be heard.
Lu Weihe retreated when he heard the sound, the man in the screen raised his head slightly, his eyes were fixed on the portrait on the north wall, and he said faintly: "Grandpa, she is finally here, the black feather order is about to appear, and the Feng family's hundred-year promise is finally going to be fulfilled." From now on, Wucheng doesn't have to work so hard to defend the tyrant of Nanchi......"
In the evening, the sun is setting.
After a day of exposure to the sun, Wucheng gradually faded from the irritating stuffiness, and the streets gradually became more crowded, and the hawkers came and went, even more lively than during the day.
Shangguan Jiyue stood in front of the window, looking at the street where the red lights were hanging high and the figures were shaking, and she knew in her heart, it turned out that there was a night market here, and now the night market has just started to be so lively, it seems that this Wucheng is really prosperous.
Her eyes are shining, and she is so lively! The more lively the place, the more she can find out the news, and she is really curious about who the city lord of Wucheng is!
With a decision in her heart, Shangguan Jiyue went out of the room, went downstairs with Mo Yi, walked out of the inn, and wandered the street gracefully.
"Xiaoyu, where are you going to take Young Master Ben?" Mo coughed twice, a little uncomfortable.
