Shangguan Jiyue smiled: "Naturally, I want to take the young master to have a good experience of the people and customs of this Wucheng." ”

Mo Yi raised his eyes and saw that there were many tea shops and restaurants on this street, he rolled his eyes, leaned into Shangguan Jiyue's ear and whispered, "Why don't you go to the restaurant opened by my eldest brother to have a look?" ”

Shangguan Jiyue shook her head slightly: "The restaurant opened by Young Master Shen is too luxurious, and the people who come in and out are either rich or expensive, which is not suitable for us." ”

"Where does Big Brother Qi want to go?"

"Where to go?" Shangguan Jiyue's eyes were wandering, her eyes were fixed on a small teahouse in front of her left, and she said with a smile: "Today we will go there to drink tea and listen to books." ”

"Listen...... Listening to books? ”

"Listen to the book!" After Shangguan Jiyue finished speaking, she bent down and made a gesture of invitation to Mo Yi, pretending to be respectful, "Young master, please first." ”

"Ahem!" Mo coughed twice, shook the folding fan in his hand, and walked to the small teahouse with his head held high and shook three steps in one step.

Shangguan Jiyue, who was behind her, looked at Mo Yi's uncomfortable appearance, chuckled, and then stepped up to follow, shouting while chasing back: "Young Master, wait for me......"

Mo Yi was stepping on the steps in front of the teahouse at this time, when he heard the shouts behind him, his feet were unstable, his body shook, and he almost fell off the steps.

Brother Qi, is this really good? Is it really good?

After entering the teahouse, Shangguan Jiyue and Mo Yi found a box by the window on the second floor and asked for a pot of herbal tea and a few plates of refreshments.

At this time, the storyteller in front of the downstairs hall was talking energetically, to the effect that he was telling the story of a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor.

The crowd seemed to be unsatisfied, and repeatedly asked the storyteller to speak one more, but I don't know who took the lead in applauding first, and the hall suddenly applauded.

The storyteller was gracious, so he had to agree. He slapped the wood in his hand, stroked his chin beard, and said loudly: "If it is about heroes and heroes, then no one can compare to our city lord of Wucheng, if there is no him, we people will not have today's good life, today I will tell you about the heroic deeds of our old city lord." ”

"Good! Good! The people in the hall were boiling and applauding.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jiyue glanced at Mo and Mo, hid the light in his eyes, lowered his head and sipped a cup of herbal tea, and listened secretly to see what heroic deeds this storyteller could tell.

I heard another shocking sound, and the first thing the storyteller said was: "In other words, when the old city lord was young, he was handsome and extraordinary, and it is not an exagger......ation to say that he is a god in the sky and descends to earth."

When Mo heard this, he almost squirted out the mouthful of herbal tea he had just drunk in his mouth, choking him to cough, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his eye circles were red.

"Ahem...... Mo Yi sighed while coughing, "This storyteller is too good at fooling, right?" People who have already become ancients, even if they are young and handsome, they can't be said to be the same as immortals! ”

Shangguan Jiyue looked at Mo Yi with a smile, did not speak, and listened with peace of mind.

"Thirty years ago, a group of bandits who dominated one side burned, killed, robbed and tortured, and did all kinds of evil, and even the government was shocked and afraid of them. Who knows, he saw that our Wucheng people were safe and quiet, and gathered people and horses overnight to wreak havoc on our Wucheng bandits, and suddenly a heavy fog fell from the sky......"

Mo Yi listened to it, he couldn't listen to it anymore, and pouted: "Brother Qi, this storyteller is obviously talking nonsense, saying that the city lord is an immortal and knows spells, so if he is really an immortal, won't he live forever?" Why did you die when you were in your fifties? ”

Shangguan Jiyue casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip lightly, put it down again, and said slowly: "He is an immortal or not, but the battle thirty years ago was true, and those bandits were all subdued in the fog outside Wucheng without fighting back, and no one in the world still knows what is going on." ”

Mo Yi looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "So, we are here to find out the secret of Wucheng?" ”

"That's right, no one has dared to invade Wucheng for a hundred years, and we must find out what secrets there are in Wucheng before the army sets out. Otherwise, it will only be like those battles that have met Wucheng before, and the defeat will be miserable, and the defeat will be confused. ”

At this time, when I heard a startling shot in the hall downstairs, the old man who told the story made a confession and retired to rest. Everyone in the hall was obviously still immersed in the bizarre events of the year, and the voices of discussion were endless.

The chaotic sound reached Shangguan Jiyue's ears.

"The successive city lords of our Wucheng are really amazing, do you think it will really be a god descending to earth?"

"I don't know if it's an immortal, but I know that the city lord returned to the city a few days ago."

"The city lord is back? How do you know? Have you seen our new city lord? ”

The man sighed, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen it, but one of my cousins works as an attendant in the City Lord's Mansion, and every time the City Lord comes back, he calls General Lu over to remove all the maids in the courtyard." No, the maid in the courtyard of the city lord was kicked out again a few days ago. ”

"This city lord is also weird, not only does he not like to serve the maidservants, but he can't stay in the city for a few days a year, and all the affairs are handed over to General Lu to deal with, you say, where did the city lord go for the rest of the days?"

"I guess the city lord went to cultivate immortals and visit the Dao, otherwise how could he have the ability to protect the people of our whole city?" One of them was so triumphant that he opened his mouth and came.

The other person sneered and said, "You don't know, the old city lord only had a daughter under the knee of the eldest lady back then, and he married far away, and the current city lord is the grandson of the old city lord, of course he is filial piety on the side of the eldest lady and uncle!" ”

"What is filial piety on the side of the eldest lady and aunt?! The eldest lady passed away more than ten years ago, and it is said that the city lord took over the position of the city lord as a last resort, so the city lord rarely stays in our Wucheng. A man at the other table poured a cup of herbal tea and said.

"Then why did the city lord come back this time?"

"Naturally, because the Beicang army is going south, and now it has reached the middle of the river, our Wucheng is the place where Nanchi must pass, if you want to capture the capital of Nanchi, you must let us make way for Wucheng, and the Beicang army can pass." The man put down the teacup heavily, his voice was loud, and he seemed to be a practitioner.

When everyone heard this, their faces were different, and they suddenly became silent, Shangguan Jiyue's eyes flashed slightly, and they couldn't help but look down at the man who spoke.

I saw that the man was tall and strong, with a rough appearance, dark skin, a full beard, and the only luminous body on the whole face was the big shining eyes, and it was almost impossible to see what this person looked like.

After being silent for a while, someone finally spoke again, but the voice was lowered, and Shangguan Jiyue had to hold her breath to faintly hear:

"I heard that the Beicang army led by King Chen is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and the world is in the heart. The soldiers in their hands are brave and good at fighting, and they never kill innocents indiscriminately, do you say that the city lord is going to prepare for a decisive battle with the Beicang army when he comes back this time? ”

When the man heard this, he sneered: "Fight to the death? As long as the city lord is in the city and the defense map in the dark pavilion is not lost, no matter how powerful the Beicang army is, they will not want to step into our Wucheng even an inch! ”

Shangguan Jiyue and Mo were stunned one by one, arming map? Is there still such a defense map in the city? Could it be that this defense map has a secret that has not been known in Wucheng for a hundred years? Can it unravel the mystery of Wucheng?
