Chapter Ninety-Seven-Chess Opponent (Part II)
The woman who was called Zijing by Chi Muyan, although she was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect him to be able to call her name in an instant, but she still had a smile on her face, "Since the City Lord of Chi has already understood the details of our waiting, why do you knowingly ask me the purpose of waiting?"
Chi Muyan looked at the woman in front of him with puzzled eyes, "I only know a little bit about the wooden cave thieves led by Miss Zijing, and I really don't know when, where, and how I offended the girl, and I ask the girl to make it clear." If it is really because of my own fault or the negligence of my subordinates that I offended the girl, I will definitely give the girl a satisfactory explanation, and ask the girl to return to the Giant Wood Cave as soon as possible with this group of heroes and thieves, so as not to disturb the normal life of the people in other villages on Phantom Island. ”
When the woman heard this, she suddenly looked angry, and looked at Chi Muyan with a sneer, "Return to the Giant Wood Tree Cave? Could it be that the original intention of the City Lord Chi is also that I and these rats who have been in the shadows should have stayed in the dark and decaying wood cave?"
Chi Muyan was shocked, and heard that there must be something else hidden in the woman's words, so he quickly frowned and explained: "I originally just thought that the giant wood cave was the settlement place of the girl and this group of chivalrous thieves, but listening to the meaning of the girl's words, you don't seem to want to live here, although I don't know the hidden secret, but as long as you are willing to tell, I will do my best to help solve it." ”
The woman didn't seem to believe that Chi Muyan didn't know anything about this matter, and continued to sneer: "Since the City Lord Chi thinks so, why don't you go with me to the Giant Wood Cave and experience it for yourself?"
Although Chi Muyan felt that there must be deception in this matter, he also responded happily, "When I was a child, I heard my father say that there is a group of brave and strategically strategic, hidden thieves living in the giant tree cave, and I have long wanted to visit, but since I took over Phantom Wing City in a hurry, I have been busy with various things and have no time to leave. This time, I happened to meet the host's kind invitation, so I bothered the girl to lead the way, and went to see the truth, so as to find the source of your dissatisfaction, and relieve your worries as soon as possible. ”
The two strong men who had been standing silently behind the woman didn't seem to expect Chi Muyan to agree at all, watching him get up and want to leave, and at the same time stunned in place, the woman followed as if she had already expected it, "The Chi City Lord is young and promising, and he wears many hats, so naturally there are many things, since I met here today, and the Chi City Lord is so refreshing, then let's go to the Burrow and experience it for yourself." ”
After speaking, the woman raised her hand to stop the words that the strong man behind her was about to speak, and walked out of the tea shop, and Chi Muyan also followed the woman out of the village and disappeared into everyone's eyes in the surprised expressions of everyone.
After the four of them walked out of the village, the woman and the strong man who followed her each summoned a land crab that was used as a foot force, and then turned her head to look at Chi Muyan with a smile, "I don't know if the Chi City Lord has other small summoned beasts that can be used as foot power in addition to that mighty snow unicorn?" ”
Chi Muyan glanced at the land crab under the feet of the three people, thought for a moment, summoned a sand spider of similar size, stood up easily, and made a gesture of invitation to them with a light smile, and after the woman bowed slightly, she urged the land crab under her feet to continue to move forward.
On the road, the woman named Zijing and the two strong men she brought with her have been leading the way in front, while Chi Muyan is not in a hurry, not far or close, and the two strong men quietly turned around, peeked at him, lowered their voices and asked the woman in front of them curiously, "Boss, why do we think that this city lord is not very smart, why do we just say it casually, he followed us so easily?"
The woman deliberately raised her voice and replied with a smile: "As the lord of the Wing Clan, the Lord of Chi City naturally inherits the superior ear power of the Wing Clan, so we don't have to hide it meaninglessly." Since the Lord of Chi City is a cheerful person and respectfully calls us thieves, and is willing to come to the field to check on the actual difficulties we encounter, and promised to solve them with all his might, I naturally believe that we will definitely not set up some treacherous ambushes to frame him. ”
Chi Muyan heard that this was the woman reminding her subordinates, so she followed her words and continued with a chuckle: "Actually, when it comes to this ear power, I can only be regarded as slightly better, but since you are all on Phantom Wing Island, I, the city lord, should be treated equally, but no one is perfect, and everyone will have negligence.
Between the words, the clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, followed by a few rolling thunders, followed by a bean-sized raindrop, although Chi Muyan faintly felt that there was something strange in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the clues, so he had to increase his vigilance a little more in secret, and carefully pay attention to the movements of the three people in front of him and the surroundings.
On the road approaching the Giant Tree Cave, except for a few towering birches and low thorny shrubs, the four of them walked through the narrow path for a long time, and finally came to a giant tree on the edge of Phantom Island that was hollow due to old decay.
Chi Muyan followed the three people in front of him to get off their mounts, and walked into the empty trunk of the old tree in the pouring rain together. Chi Muyan looked up and found that the empty trunk had been built into a village in the tree by the people who had lived here for generations, but the only thing that made Chi Muyan feel strange was that there was no one here except for the four of them.
Chi Muyan immediately felt that the situation was abnormal, and suddenly heard the soft sound of a big fish spitting bubbles under his feet, and just when he was puzzled, he saw that the other three people were already standing on the wooden ladder slightly higher than the ground, looking down at him with a sneer.
Chi Muyan was shocked in his heart, he felt that the soles of his feet were wet and cold, and even the ground began to sink slowly, and then he heard the woman standing on the wooden ladder sneering and looking at him, "Ah! I forgot to tell the Lord of Chi City, this hollow 10,000-year-old tree, every rainy day, will collect all the rainwater that falls on its canopy on the ground in its center, making it a swamp that swallows people, we have lived here for many years, and we don't know how many companions have accidentally fallen into this quagmire. However, since the Chi City Lord said that he is willing to help us solve this problem by himself, it is better to experience it first. ”
When the woman said this, one of the strong men beside her suddenly changed his face to anger, and said loudly to the woman: "Boss, stop talking nonsense with him, even if he has great ability, now that he is mired in the quagmire, he can't show it, why don't we solve him here first, and then go to Phantom Wing City to find that Chun Yu old thief to settle accounts." ”
The woman shook her head slightly, "When Chun Yulu's old thief surrounded and suppressed us privately, it was the previous city lord Chi Hongyuan who personally came forward to stop us, so that we could escape from death, and now this little city lord is young and promising, but I am afraid that some things are still kept in the dark and do not know, so if we harm him here now, what is the difference between it and Chun Yu's old thief?"
When the woman said this, she overheard Chi Muyan, who had fallen into the quagmire below, raised his hand and slapped his slap twice, raised his head and smiled: "Hehe, since you don't want to harm me, and I have already realized the threat that this quagmire brings to you, can you please get me out of this quagmire first." As for the one in the mouths of the people, I have long seen him as unpleasant, but I have never caught his fox tail, if you are willing to tell me the unreasonable things that the old thief has done to you, I will also seek justice for you. ”
The woman looked at Chi Muyan, and saw that although he was mired in the quagmire, his body was still sinking slowly, but she couldn't see the slightest panic and anxiety on her face, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and smiled at him cautiously: "Although I have long heard that the current small city lord of Phantom Wing City has the courage and courage to surpass the previous city lords, and is also a rare genius strategist, now that I see it, it is really extraordinary, I am afraid that even if all the people in my giant tree cave are combined, they are not your opponents." I also know that being able to trap you here at this moment is probably taking advantage of your trust in us, even if you were already suspicious of us just now, you still have no intention of resisting. It's just that since you have such a deep city, who can guarantee that after you are released, you will definitely be on our side?"
After listening to the woman's reasoning, Chi Muyan sighed a little helplessly, "Although what Miss Zijing said is extremely true, if it were me, I would not easily release a person who is not sure whether he is friend or foe, and who has been trapped, but I just want to ask now, how long does the girl want to trap me here?"
The woman had summoned a green giant beaked parrot at this time, climbed on the parrot's back with the two strong men, and lowered her head to Chi Muyan and said with a slight apology: "The giant wood tree cave rarely rains in the spring, and I have also controlled the time of this rain within an hour, and within two or three days after the rain stops, this giant tree will be able to absorb all the water here, as long as the city lord of Chi continues to maintain this calm state of mind and does not struggle excessively, he can hold on until the ground becomes hard." ”
When the woman's words came to this, she let the huge parrot carry the three of them and fly out of the hollow giant tree from the top of the canopy, and Chi Muyan's narration of Canglan and her sister also came to an end here.
After listening to his narration, Chi Mudie tilted her head curiously and asked, "You haven't told us yet, how did you escape from that quagmire, and how did you get the snow qilin covered in black mud?"
Chi Muyan shook off the washed clothes and hung them next to the bonfire that Canglan had built, and sighed and looked at the snow qilin who was resting on the side, "It's not that blame that stupid guy who has to pose as a heroic as soon as he comes out of the spirit summoning stone! Obviously he is a flying spirit beast, I still expect it to pull me out of the quagmire, but it fell into it and couldn't pull it out." ”
Seeing that Chi Muyan was still counting down it, Xue Qilin impatiently bared his fangs at him, and muttered a few words in a low voice, as if he was arguing with him, Chi Muyan also followed its example, and bared his teeth at it and said, "What, are you still reasonable? Next time you love to pretend so much, I will put you at the gate of Phantom Wing City as a sculpture." ”
Chi Mudie and Cang Lan couldn't help laughing when they saw the fun of their quarrel, Cang Lan smiled and raised her eyebrows at Chi Muyan and asked: "I can't imagine that our famous strategist Lord was actually turned into a loach by a female thief, if this spreads, wouldn't it make others think that our Chi City Lord will also be fascinated by beauty, and ruin your reputation?"
