Chapter Thirty-Eight: Angry Crown
The siblings glanced at each other, smiled slightly, followed behind the wind shadow, and galloped their horses as well.
The three of them crossed the open plain in front of the Lingdu City and dismounted at the city gate, but in a few moments, they passed the inspection of the city gate guards and entered the city.
Prosperous and splendid, within reach.
Su Ye stared at it, and on the lively main street, the crowd was rubbing shoulders and the voices were boiling.
After handing over the horses to the warriors defending the city, Kazekage led the two of them across the noisy main street to a magnificent inn called the 'Drunken Immortal Tower'.
"Brother Su, can you and Miss Su stay in this Drunken Immortal Mansion for two days first?" Fengying said in a deep voice, "I've been away from Lingdu for too long, and I don't know what the situation is in the Hou Mansion, why don't you wait for me to go back to the Mansion first to settle one or two, and then bring the two of you into the Mansion every two days?"
The old man has a withdrawn personality and has always disliked outsiders.
Kazekage was worried that taking the two of them to live in the Waiting House without prior notice would anger the old man and cause unnecessary trouble.
Su Ye knew his unspeakable secret, and said with a smile: "We won't bother the Hou Mansion, this inn is not the place where my sister and I live after all, why don't Brother Feng introduce me to a business, I want to buy a house." ”
"Buying a house?" Kazekage was surprised and reminded, "This Lingdu's house is not cheap!"
"It's okay, I got some cheap from Tianyuan Pavilion. Su Ye raised a purple-gold card in his hand, "Lord Shen said that there are 10,000 taels of gold in it, which should be enough to buy me and my sister a place to stay, right?"
"Tianyuan Pavilion's purple gold card?" Fengying's pupils shrank, and he said in shock, "I didn't expect Brother Su to have such things in his hand, this is specially prepared for the distinguished guests in the pavilion by Tianyuan Caizhuang under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan Pavilion, a purple gold card is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and the entire Chu State, officials and merchants can exchange it." ”
The wealth of 10,000 taels of gold, even if you are in the spiritual capital, belongs to the category of great wealth.
Su Ye has such a huge amount of money, and if she wants to buy a house to live in, it is naturally not a problem.
"Before leaving, Lord Shen sent it. Su Ye looked at Fengying with envy on his face, and said with a smile, "Your Hou Mansion is in charge of the three armies, and the first-class army Hou Mansion under one person, you still envy me for this money?"
"Of course I envy!" Wind Shadow's eyes glowed golden, "I'm so poor that I clang." ”
He continued to walk forward with the two of them, sighed, and suddenly begged with a blank face: "Brother Su, for the sake of me introducing you to the business, otherwise, you can share some money with me, and then ...... I'll take you to be happy?"
Su Xueyi looked at his pitiful expression, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Where do you want to take Xiaoye to be happy?" Say it, Miss Ben will reward you with a tael. ”
Fengying saw the unkind eyes behind Su Xueyi's smile, and hurriedly shut up.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and after a while, they came to the front of a shop called 'Xinjufang'.
Kazekage took a look at his surroundings and led the two of them straight into the store, shouting at a young man who greeted him, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
The guy was shocked by the fierce momentum of the Wind Shadow, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm negotiating business with a guest in the back." ”
Kazekage frowned, his eyes widened, and shouted, "Call him for me." ”
Seeing that Fengying was speaking harshly, with a faint murderous aura on his body, his heart shrank, he didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly trotted out of the backyard and called out the shopkeeper.
"Yo...... It turned out that Young Master Feng was here!" A chubby man quickly greeted him, and his originally angry face was instantly filled with smiles, and said flatteringly, "It's been a long time since you've been patronizing our shop, this time I don't know which house the Hou Mansion wants to buy, my Wang Fugui will do things, and I will satisfy Young Master Feng." ”
"Lao Tzu went to the border and came back. Fengying replied lightly, he pointed to Su Ye and Su Xueyi beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Fugui, these are my two friends, they want to buy an elegant house, you look for Lao Tzu to see if there is one, if not, Lao Tzu will demolish your broken shop today." ”
"Yes, yes...... There must be a ......" Wang Fugui was drenched in cold sweat and hurriedly replied.
Kazekage is a well-known magnate in Lingdu, flying and domineering, and bullying people is a matter of three days and two ends, and he doesn't want to get himself into trouble.
"Since there is, let's take my two friends to see it. Kazekage said unceremoniously, "If you let me know that you have any deception at a high price, I will not only smash your small shop, but I will also ...... your legs."
"Young Master Feng's friend, how dare the little one deceive in the slightest. Wang Fugui hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his face, "I'll immediately ask the guy to take your friend to see it." ”
After he finished speaking, he carefully instructed the guy who had just called him.
The man looked at the three men with trepidation, and carefully led them out of the store to the place where the shopkeeper had said.
"Brother Su, Miss Su, we'll see you the next day. Walking to a street intersection, Fengying clenched his fists and said goodbye, "When the Hou Mansion is over, I'll go to you immediately." ”
The two nodded, and also clenched their fists, watching his figure fade away.
The guy looked at the three of them in horror, and continued to take Su Ye and Su Xueyi forward, and carefully introduced: "The house you are looking at is an official mansion, the courtyard is scattered, the layout is exquisite, the house is elegant and quiet, surrounded by rockeries, it is very suitable for people with status like the two of you to live. ”
"Official residence!" Su Xue frowned and said suspiciously, "Since it is an official residence, why would it be sold?"
"The owner of the house was punished by His Majesty for committing a crime two years ago, and he has died, and his family has been struggling to support him for two years, and he can no longer support the expenses of the house, so he is ready to sell the house, dismiss the servants, and move the family to his hometown of Mocheng. The guy said, secretly glanced at Su Xueyi, and continued, "The young lady of that family is the same as the girl, she is a beauty, but she is ......."
"Just what?" Su Ye asked curiously.
The guy sighed and replied: "Without the protection of the official family, the beauty is just a disaster for the family, in the past few months, the prince of the prime minister's mansion has been persecuted, and he sent into the mansion to rob people, I estimate that if they don't leave the Lingdu as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the poisonous ......hands of the prince."
"Prince Wang, who is this?" asked Su Xueyi.
"One of the 'four sons' of the Chu State, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Xi. The man replied with a look of fear.
"Uh...... Just a little bit of a fool, right?" Su Ye said in a deep voice, "Just like the Wind Shadow!"
The man shook his head, but stopped talking.
The three of them continued on their way, leaving the main street and entering a wide side road, and after a short walk, they came to an official residence surrounded by courtyard walls.
"Hey, why is this gate open?" Su Xueyi said strangely, "and there is not even a family member guarding the door." ”
Su Ye followed her sister's gaze, and sure enough, she saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and there was no trace of people.
"In the past two days, buyers who have come to see the house from time to time may have come to the door for convenience, so Xiao Mansion opened its doors to welcome guests. The guy said with a smile.
"That's not right...... There is a murderous aura!" Su Ye frowned, and the black sword in his hand suddenly rang out of its sheath.
He held his sword in front of Su Xueyi, and with his internal strength, he stepped towards the Xiao Mansion step by step, leading the two behind him to cross the untouched front yard and enter the inner courtyard.
"This ......" Su Xueyi saw the situation in the inner courtyard at a glance, anger instantly rose from her chest, and said angrily, "This is too cruel!"
"Ah...... Kill, kill......"
When the man saw the stumps and broken arms in the courtyard, his face turned pale instantly, his body weakened, and he crawled to the outside of the house.
"Destroy the door...... Su Ye's eyes were cold, and the killing intent was shocking, "Women, children, old and young, have not let any of them go!"
The sister and brother had experienced the grief of the tragedy of the annihilation, and at this moment, this scene reappeared in front of them, and the anger in their hearts was almost bursting out.
"Save ...... Help, help, ......" The tearing cry for help suddenly came from the side yard.
Su Ye's sword lingered, and he quickly flashed into the side courtyard, and when he saw the scene there, the whole person was stunned.
It is still full of stumps and broken arms, and the strong smell of blood chokes his mouth and nose, which is disgusting, but this is not surprising to him who has experienced battlefield battles.
What really shocked Su Ye was the corpses of the female dependents who were tortured to the point of not being human.
"Brute ......" Su Xueyi bit her lip, and her heart was extremely angry.
"Sister, you stay here, don't let anyone go. Su Ye stared at a courtyard next to the side yard, listening to the wild laughter coming from there, and the killing intent was Lingli, "I'm going to slaughter these beasts!"
The sword slashed through the void, and Su Ye jumped into the air and fell into the most remote courtyard.
"Who are you?" several golden-armored warriors guarding the door of the courtyard looked at Su Ye who was flying into the air, and asked in a deep voice.
"Kill your guys. Su Ye replied coldly.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these scumbags, and in the midst of the lingering sword, the black sword tore through the void and killed three people with one sword.
"You, you ......" Seeing the three of them clutching their throats and falling, the other two retreated in horror, "Who the hell are you? We are Jin Wuwei......! Don't kill me......"
"Jin Wuwei?" Su Ye's eyes were like knives, "Even if it's the Heavenly King Laozi, I will kill it!"
With a sword piercing one man's heart, he forced the other to the stairs, and stepped back towards the closed door in front of him.
"Don't kill me...... All of this was made by Childe. The man suddenly knelt on the steps, his face blank.
Su Ye's strength is unpredictable, he killed four people with two swords, and he didn't even have the courage to resist.
Although Jin Wuwei is the army that guards the imperial city, there are not a few children of officials and eunuchs among them, and these soldiers who are not evildoers, without exception, are all of this kind of goods.
"Ah...... Help, help, help......" The tearing cry for help came again, but it was much weaker.
Su Ye shouted angrily, and before he had time to kill the last person kneeling on the steps, he jumped in the air, slammed open the closed door, and killed him with his sword.
Inside the house, tables and chairs toppled over, a mess, stained with blood, dripping all over the ground.
A young girl fell on the bed, her clothes torn and her hands tied, and she was screaming, and a man in brocade was screaming angrily and holding down the girl's legs, prostrate on top of her, and was about to do the beastly thing.
