Chapter Seventy-Seven: The City Lord Is He!
Because Helian Wuye's injuries were relatively serious, and they had to avoid those who were chasing and killing along the way, it took them six days to arrive on the original four-day journey.
Huo Jiulin looked up at the so-called division in front of him, and it seemed that he hadn't reacted for a long time, Yesheng looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Huo Gongzi, don't you go in?" ”
"Well, this is your separation?"
"yes."
"But this... Although I don't know much about reading, aren't these three words on the plaque the city lord's mansion? ”
"Yes, the city lord of Gu'an City is our man."
Huo Jiulin: "!! "I actually got into the position of the city lord quietly, you must know that this is not something that has been done in a year or two!
However, after Huo Jiulin saw the so-called city lord, he found that it was not only this that shocked him, but he was just as surprised as the city lord himself.
"You're not that ...... Lin Shaoxia? ”
Huo Jiulin replied a little speechlessly: "Actually, my name is not Lin Jing. ”
"And what's your name?"
"Huo Jiulin, the nine of the nine words, the king of the world."
"I didn't expect you to use a pseudonym!"
"I didn't expect you to be the city lord of Gu'an City, and more importantly, you are still a member of the Demon Sect, is this world really too small?"
"Maybe it's fate."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Huo Jiulin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Chi Xuan, right, in fact, when Xue Yarou told me that you were a homeless man, I thought you were not simple, but I didn't expect that you would have several identities, but why did you go to the Xue family to be the person who managed the painting boat in the first place?" Performing a mission? ”
"It's just a private matter."
"Alas, alas, could it be that you and Miss Xue ......"
"Brother Huo, I haven't seen you for a while, you are still so nosy."
"You're wrong, I'm the person who doesn't like to meddle the most, so it's not usually idle."
The two of them chatted for a few words, Hua Wenzhu had already cleaned Helian Wuye's wound again and bandaged it with good medicine, fortunately, the wound had not deteriorated along the way, otherwise the situation would have been bad.
"Ask Zhu, how is the master?"
Hua Wenzhu's face was not very good, and he sighed: "The situation is okay anyway, but then we must recuperate, and we can't care about tossing like before." ”
"Your medical skills are so good, I believe it will be fine, okay, don't think too much about the past, you are also tired all the way, let's take a bath and sleep well after eating."
Because several elders and other sect members had already arrived, Chi Xuan also knew that Helian Wuye had entered Feimeng Villa alone this time to save Hua Wenzhu.
"How's the master?"
Huo Jiulin sat on the chair, and when he heard the voice, he looked up, only to see two old men with gray hair and beard breaking in, and he didn't have to guess to know that these were probably a few elders.
But these two are so old, Helian Wuye actually tied them up in a pile and threw them on the carriage? It's a weird scene no matter how you think about it.
"Great Elder, it's all my fault for this incident, please punish the elders."
Hua Wenzhu was about to kneel down as she spoke, but the Great Elder hurriedly stopped her, and said helplessly: "Actually, I can't complain about you, besides, the master ordered that this matter should not be mentioned again after the convergence, so don't say it." ”
"I asked for the life of the bamboo, it was saved by the master, and it will be the master's in the future, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I will not give up."
Talking about being deceived before, Hua Wenzhu could be expressionless, but when he said this, his eyes were wet, Huo Jiulin looked at Helian Wuye who was asleep, this guy really didn't look like his father's heart at all.
Helian Xiong is more domineering and uses force to convince others, while Helian Wuye overcomes rigidity with softness and treats others sincerely, in exchange for others' sincerity.
Obviously, the latter is more convincing, in fact, if he is sure to be the leader of the sect, he will certainly not do worse than his father.
"By the way, thanks to Huo Gongzi's help this time, otherwise we might not have been able to get out of the way."
Hearing Hua Wenzhu's words, the two elders looked towards Huo Jiulin one after another, and they all walked in front of him with excitement on their faces, Huo Jiulin subconsciously took a step back, always feeling that they would pounce on him in the next moment.
"If a friend is in trouble, you should help, and you don't have to thank me."
"Did I say I want to thank you?"
Huo Jiulin: "......" So he was amorous?!
"You saved my master, so I want to thank you."
Huo Jiulin: "!! "Just now, I thought that this group of old men looked very abnormal, but it turned out that they were really abnormal!
"Could it be that you are the Su Jinglin that the master often says?"
"No, you didn't hear the bamboo girl say, his surname is Huo."
"Oh, your surname is Huo?"
Huo Jiulin nodded, and the elder stroked his long beard, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he asked, "The surname is Liu, what is the name of Liu?" ”
"His surname is Huo."
"Didn't you say his surname was Liu?"
"When did I say his surname was Liu? I'm talking about his surname Huo, called... Alas, what's your name? ”
"Huo Jiulin."
"Listen, he said that his name is Huo Jiulin, not Su Jinglin or Liu anything."
"Oh, Huo Jiulin...... There is also Lin, isn't this Su Jinglin? Could it be Liu Jinglin? ”
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Huo Jiulin looked at Chi Xuan speechlessly, Chi Xuan seemed to be holding back a smile, stepped forward and said, "Great Elder Third Elder, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early, just leave it to me here." ”
"The master hasn't woken up yet, how can we go to rest."
"As soon as the master wakes up, I will immediately send someone to inform the two of you. The master now needs to recuperate, and the room is full of people will not help him recover. ”
"That's okay, if the master wakes up, you must tell me."
"Definitely."
The third elder walked in front, the great elder followed behind, and before going out, the eldest elder turned to look at Huo Jiulin and asked, "Xiao Zhao, do you have time to drink together." ”
Huo Jiulin: "??? ”
"You go quickly, what kind of wine are you drinking, I said that his surname is Huo."
"It was obviously you who said that his surname was Zhao just now, why did he become Huo again, I see that your brain is getting older and more confused......"
The voices of the two elders slowly disappeared at the door, Huo Jiulin couldn't cry or laugh, he was lucky to leave, and if he continued like this, he couldn't tell what his surname was.
"The Great Elder once went mad when he was practicing before, thanks to the master who found out early and picked up a life, but after that, every day was so chaotic."
"I see, how many elders do you have?"
"Four, and two of them should still be preparing medicinal materials for the master in the pharmacy now, you should be tired too, just leave it to me here, I'll let you take you to rest, right?"
Huo Jiulin nodded, he was indeed a little tired, he had hardly rested in the past few days, and he didn't dare to sleep too deeply when he slept, he usually closed his eyes to recuperate, and now he was finally relieved.
"Then I'll go and rest first."
Chi Xuan asked a maid to wait for Huo Jiulin to go to the guest room, and the guest room was arranged not far from the room where Helian Wuye lived, and it didn't take long to arrive.
"Huo Gongzi, do you want to bathe or eat first?"
"Let's eat first, I'm hungry."
"Yes, please wait."
Huo Jiulin originally thought that it was so late, just eat some casually, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, a table of dishes would be served, and he looked at it a little speechlessly.
"I'm just the only one, can I use so many dishes?"
"This is prepared in the kitchen, and the slaves and maids are just responsible for delivering it, so Huo Gongzi should please eat."
Huo Jiulin picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, the color and fragrance were complete, and the guest rooms were also luxuriously furnished, so Helian Wuye was actually a relatively low-key rich man? It's amazing that the people under him are so generous.
After eating, a few family members came in with a bath bucket, and after sending them all down, Huo Jiulin sat down in the bathtub, and it was still very comfortable to take a hot bath when he was tired, but as soon as he calmed down, his thoughts about Shen Yiqing were out of control, and he didn't know where he was now.
They were delayed on the road for six days, and if Shen Yiqing had set off on the same day as them, he might have arrived early, so he would have gone out for a walk and left a mark.
Leaning against the edge of the tub with his arms outstretched, he just wanted to relax, but he noticed that there seemed to be footsteps outside the door, and he looked over with some doubts, thinking that those maids were back again?
But there seemed to be only one person listening to the footsteps, and when he was guessing who it was, he suddenly heard a bang, and the door was kicked open, and then a person walked in in a hurry.
A woman.
It looks like she should be in her thirties, Huo Jiulin's face changed when he saw her appearance clearly, this person, he was too familiar.
"Your name is Huo Jiulin?"
The woman's voice sounded a little domineering, looking down at Huo Jiulin with a condescending look, Huo Jiulin smiled: "This eldest sister, should you avoid it?" That's not a good way to get out, is it? ”
"Don't interrupt, I heard that you saved Wuye?"
"You've heard all about it, and you're still asking me what I'm doing?"
"Why did you save him? What is the purpose? Also, how did you meet? ”
Huo Jiulin looked down at the water in the bathtub, probably to let them take a bath to dispel fatigue, so there were still some medicinal herbs in the water, thanks to these medicinal herbs, otherwise wouldn't he be looked at now?
It's okay to be looked at, but it's not good to be looked at by someone other than your own daughter-in-law!
"I'm asking you!"
"Do I have to answer if you ask me? So what do you think I saved him for? ”
"You're looking for death!"
The woman suddenly stepped forward with an arrow, approached in front of Huo Jiulin, and pinched Huo Jiulin's neck with her right hand, Huo Jiulin raised his hand to block it, and the two secretly confronted each other.
"If you don't want to die too ugly, I advise you to be honest and clear, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
"I also advise you, you'd better not get so close to me, otherwise you accidentally see something you shouldn't see, but it's not good."
"Since you want to die, I will fulfill you!"
