Chapter 67: Nine True City
The sky had gradually darkened, and Li Chengfeng and Qu Lingge finally arrived under the gate of Jiuzhen City.
There were several officers and soldiers in front of the city gate, all with waist tags on their waists, one by one to check the people who were about to enter the city.
One of them was their leader, sitting in a chair, bloated, fat-headed, big-eared, holding a roast leg of lamb in one hand, and gnawing incessantly.
"Mr. General, these two people don't look like locals and look flustered, I think it's better to detain them..."One of his subordinates bowed in front of him, pointed at Li Chengfeng and the two said.
This one always ate the roast leg of lamb in his hand cleanly, licked the oil on his mouth, smacked his mouth, and said:
"Let's search first, do you understand?"
The subordinate understood, nodded hurriedly, turned to the others who stopped Li Chengfeng and the others, and said:
"These two people look like they are wanted criminals, you should quickly search them!"
The officers and soldiers were about to search their bodies, Qu Lingge was extremely angry and shouted:
"You don't know that the catastrophe is coming! hurry up and let us enter the city, we want to see the Nine True City Lord, and we have something important to do!"
When he heard that they wanted to see the lord of the city, he jumped down from his chair.
"Didn't you hear what Uncle Ben said clearly? You look like a wanted criminal, and even if the city lord himself comes, you must act impartially! β
One of the officers and soldiers took out a roll of parchment from his arms, unfolded it, and shook it in front of Li Chengfeng and Qu Lingge.
Li Chengfeng saw clearly the appearance of the two horse bandits, both of whom had big beards and scars on their faces, and there was no resemblance to them, so he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, these two horse bandits are really far from my brothers, please know what..."
The officer and soldier took the portrait and scolded:
"Always say that you are like, you are like, if you don't let you search, you will be directly imprisoned in Jiuzhen Prison!"
Qu Lingge just wanted to theorize, but was stopped by Li Chengfeng, and he whispered:
"Idiot, don't talk nonsense, it's not going to be easy for us to go to their prison. I didn't expect the world to be as black as a crow, but it made us break the bank again..."
As he spoke, Li Chengfeng took out the remaining coil from Qu Lingge's waist, handed it to the officer and soldier with both hands, smiled all over his face, and said:
"Hey, hey... Meaningless, buy wine for all the soldiers to drink, and hope that it will be convenient..."
The officer and soldier took the thorn, opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled, and trotted to the commander.
"Look, you see..."
The one who always wrapped the two of them in his hand and shook it, and the fat on his face was full of laughter, and he took out a few pieces of broken silver and threw them to the officer and soldier, and put the rest in his arms.
"Ben took a closer look, your appearance is still different from that horse bandit, brothers, let go!"
The officers and soldiers responded and put Li Chengfeng and Qu Lingge in.
"Riding the wind, our entanglement is still a gift in the end, how can we go back to Shushan..."Qu Lingge looked aggrieved.
"Idiot, if we tell the Jiuzhen City Lord about this big thing, we will definitely get some benefits, are you afraid that you won't be able to return to Shushan?" Li Chengfeng said.
Qu Lingge thought about it, so he touched his head and laughed.
The two of them were just about to raise their feet to find the city lord, Li Chengfeng felt that someone was staring at him from behind, so he turned his head suddenly, but saw that the boss was slowly "moving" towards them, and he was tired and panting with just a few steps.
Li Chengfeng sighed, smiled all over his face, bowed to the boss, and said:
"Is there anything else going on?"
"Whew... Call... You guys... You're not trying to... Do you want to find the city lord?" the fat man finally caught up with them, and he was sweating profusely.
"The two of us are going to discuss something important with the city lord, by the way, do you always know where the city lord is?" asked Li Chengfeng.
"Hey, hey... You can't see the lord of the city like this, and if you want to see the lord of the city, I have a way, but... Thisβ" The thumb and forefinger were twisted back and forth, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.
Li Chengfeng immediately understood, and he said to Qu Lingge:
"I remember you still have a spare silver ticket in your shoes, take them out quickly!"
Qu Lingge was shocked, hurriedly dodged aside, and said:
"Chengfeng, this is my private money, how do you know?"
"We grew up wearing a pair of pants, I don't know how many paths you kid has in his stomach? Take it out, and when you go back to Shushan, I will definitely return it to you..."
Qu Lingge reluctantly took off his shoes and took out neatly folded silver tickets from them.
Li Chengfeng snatched it away, opened it and saw that there were three hundred taels.
"Tsk... I didn't expect that your kid was hiding deep enough..."Li Chengfeng said, taking out one from it, and returning the rest to Qu Lingge.
"Official, this is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, just a little bit of our heart, please help the two of us find the city lord..." Li Chengfeng handed over the silver ticket, and the one was always received into his arms with a smile.
"It's easy to say, the city lord likes to drink tea in the teahouse in the afternoon, and this time is almost up, I'll take you there..."
Qu Lingge saw that the silver ticket that he had saved for a long time was received into his arms, and his face was about to cramp.
The two followed the general manager to a teahouse, and the little two placed the three of them in a private room.
"You're welcome, I've asked for the money for this tea...", the general said generously.
Li Chengfeng and the others secretly scolded their mother, didn't you just take your money from us?
"The lord of the castle has to drink tea in the private room next door for a while every time, and the time is coming soon..."
Li Chengfeng nodded and stared at the private room next door to see if there was anyone's shadow.
After a while, Xiao Er beckoned a guest into the private room next door, but then there was a tall shadow.
"It seems that the city lord has a guest today, you two come with me, and when the time comes, you can directly tell the city lord that it is..."
Li Chengfeng looked at it, there was a person dressed in Confucian clothes, about forty or fifty years old, and his temperament was quite elegant, he must be the city lord of Jiuzhen.
Although the other man was sitting, he could still see that he was tall and horse-tall, he was dressed in a black robe, his eyes were bright, his white hair and black beard, and he could not tell his real age. In particular, his hands are hidden in his robe, which is very mysterious.
Li Chengfeng couldn't feel the demonic aura on this mysterious person, and immediately calmed down.
"Hehe, City Lord, I'm really sorry to disturb you during your tea time, but these two said that they have something important to report, and I, as the caretaker of Jiuzhen City, should be responsible, so I didn't bring these two people here..."
The city lord nodded, looked at Li Chengfeng and the others carefully, and said to the general:
"Okay, you stand down, these two little brothers, please sit down..."
The general obediently retreated, Li Chengfeng and the others were hesitating, and the city lord laughed when he saw this:
"Don't be nervous, please take a seat. β
Li Chengfeng and Qu Lingge glanced at each other, nodded, and sat down.
"Listen to the stone general, you have something important to tell me?" said the city lord with a smile, his eyes seemed to be full of kindness.
Li Chengfeng just wanted to speak, but he saw the mysterious person on the side, so he hesitated.
The city lord immediately understood, and he said to Li Chengfeng:
"This is my staff, called Xuemo, who is very upright, please say it, childe. β
Li Chengfeng nodded, he glanced at the person named Xuemo, and there was a sense of disobedience in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Let's tell the truth, the two of us are disciples of Shushan, and this time we are here to investigate the movements of the Blood Bat King, this Nine True City is probably going to face a catastrophe, and I hope that the city lord will quickly order the people in the city to take refuge..."Li Chengfeng said.
"It turned out to be a real person from Shushan, disrespectful and disrespectful..."The city lord hurriedly showed a respectful look and said, "I still don't know what calamity my Jiuzhen City has?"
"The Blood Bat King is going to slaughter the city in today's time, the specific reason is unknown, and I hope that the city lord will act quickly..."Li Chengfeng showed an anxious look, he knew that time was running out.
The city lord hesitated, he glanced at the mysterious man, who nodded, his eyes fixed on the window.
"Okay, I'll do it, the two real people really saved 100,000 people in my Jiuzhen City, it's hard to go all the way, and please taste the tea here..."
The city lord said, poured himself two cups of tea, and handed them to Li Chengfeng and the others.
Li Chengfeng and Qu Lingge really didn't bother to drink a sip of water along the way, at this time, the big thing was over, and they suddenly relaxed a lot, they took the city lord's tea, thanked them, and poured it into their stomachs.
"How is this tea?" said the city lord with a smile to Li Chengfeng and the others.
Li Chengfeng felt that the tea was a little incredible, and he was about to say something but fell on the table and fell unconscious.
"Hmph... What else do you say about Shushan real people, it seems that they are just two god sticks. Look how I clean you up..."The city lord looked at the two people who fell on the table and said fiercely.
