Maybe it was because he felt that he was in love, and Daxi Changge, the city lord of Ethereal City, had been with him since they entered the door, and basically handed over all the entertainment to his subordinates. Most of the people gathered in the courtyard and chatted, while Da Xi Changge took An Zheng and them all the way through the front yard and into the study in the backyard.
"This is your Central Plains tea. ”
Da Xi Changge asked his subordinates to make tea and handed it to An Zheng with his own hands: "Although the Central Plains merchant who sold me tea said that this is this year's new tea, I know that it is all a lie to me." It is a long way from Daxi to Che Xianguo, and the road is hot, and the roads in most places are not easy to walk, and it is impossible to transport the new tea of the year. But it is precisely because of the existence of these merchants that we can enjoy these things from the Central Plains. ”
He pointed to the cup: "Tea leaves, including this teacup." ”
In the Buddhist country of the Western Regions, the rich and noble generally use silverware. Only the nobles' homes could use porcelain trafficked from the Central Plains.
"If the city lord has any orders, you might as well say it directly. ”
An Zheng could see that Da Xi Changge must have something to say, which was actually obvious. Da Xi Changge shouldn't know An Zheng's identity, even if he did, An Zheng was just the prince of a small country in Yan State, and Da Xi Changge didn't have anything to ask him for. And now Da Xi Changge's obvious behavior is very weird.
"Alas......"
Daxi Changge glanced at An Zheng and them, and stopped talking.
"Although we are outsiders, we are hospitalized by the city lord. If there's anything you can do to help, the city lord just says it. ”
"This ......"
Da Xi Changge was silent for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually...... I'll show you this and you'll know. ”
He turned around and picked up a scroll from the desk and handed it to An Zheng, who unfolded it and looked at it, then was stunned. When the scroll opened, it was a painting, and it was none other than him...... The painting is fine, not to mention An Zheng himself, even if An Zheng's friends are not very familiar with An Zheng, at a glance, you can immediately see that the person in this painting is An Zheng.
"What is this?"
An Zheng looked at Da Xi Changge: "Why does the city lord have my portrait?"
Da Xi said with a long song: "This is from the palace...... A few months ago, a total of 320 such portraits were sent out from the Peacock City Palace, and each of them was sent to the big city under the rule of Cha Xianguo, where the city lord kept it personally. The palace strictly ordered that if you find the person in the portrait, you must return to Peacock City. ”
Chen Shaobai sighed: "I didn't expect you to be a wanted criminal." ”
It was originally a joke, but Da Xi Changge's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, of course it's not a wanted criminal, but a guest of my Che Xianguo." Although in this short period of time, we Che Xianguo and you Central Plains people have had a lot of unpleasantness, because of the matter of the Immortal Palace ruins, the two sides have taken a big shot. Even the Jinding Kingdom Great Lei Chi Temple has been stationed in the Immortal Palace for a long time, and has ordered a strict investigation of every cultivator who has been in the original place. But I can assure you that you and your friends are our valued guests. ”
An Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Da Xi sang: "It seems that you really forgot...... When the ruins of Asgard first appeared, you once rescued a girl named Da Da Ye in the Asgard Palace...... She is the princess of our Cha Hyun Country, the future Lord of Cha Hyun Country. ”
An Zheng came to his senses at this time, and the appearance of that cute little Lori involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Da Da Ye, the princess of Cha Hyun Kook.
To be honest, if it weren't for Cha Hyun-kook's return this time, An Zheng might have put this girl in the corner of his memory. Of course, Anzheng's memory will not be forgotten quickly, but it will never be deliberately remembered. Hearing Da Xi Changge say that Da Da Ye made people draw a portrait and even spread it throughout the country, An Zheng was indeed a little shocked in his heart. At that time, he didn't think that the girl named Da Da Ye really liked him, but just a curiosity about strange men.
Now An Zheng realized that he was wrong.
Girls at that age will always have their own stubbornness, and what they believe often takes a long time to change. And this kind of change is not something that others can change, it is a change that takes time to change yourself.
For a moment, An Zheng was a little speechless.
Da Xi Changge saw An Zheng's embarrassment, smiled and said: "This matter can be pushed back for the time being, today I mainly thank you for helping Ethereal City when it is in danger." And I think those six-winged skeletons are likely to make a comeback, so it's worth looking into this. I have already sent someone to Peacock City as fast as possible to report to His Majesty the King and the great monks of the Peacock Ming Palace. ”
An Zheng nodded: "We are just a road encounter, in my opinion, any cultivator will help in that situation." ”
Da Xi Changge obviously didn't want the atmosphere to be cold, and he also felt a little ridiculous about the princess. It's just a little girl who has a spring heart, and there will be no results in the future. Moreover, although His Majesty had promised the princess to search for peace throughout the country, the king did so because he was sure that he would not find him. However, who would have thought that this person who was supposed to leave would come back.
As the lord of a large city closest to Peacock City, Da Xi Changge is of course deeply trusted by the king. He was clever enough to know that while the princess was desperate to find this man, the king might not really want to find him. Of course, if Her Royal Highness insists on marrying this person, the king will not be too hindered. Because the inheritance of the status of the lord of Cha Hyun is very special...... The king is a woman, so the choice of a man is of course only for those who are interested in herself.
Once a prince or something is born, he will be casually divided into local areas to be an idler, but the eldest princess may have to inherit the throne in the future. However, it doesn't really matter who the eldest princess's father is.
"Let's go have a drink. ”
Da Xi Changge pulled An Zheng to stand up: "I can't say that I am rich in Ethereal City, but I want as much wine as I want." I have sent for all the good wine in the city, and I thank you for your help in the city. Tonight, let's get drunk. ”
When Qi Tian heard that he was just drinking, he immediately became interested: "Let's go, the wine of the Buddha country is really worthy of its reputation." ”
Chen Shaobai glanced at An Zheng, and the worry in his eyes was also there. Qi Tian is a big grinning character, of course he won't think too much.
A few people left the study and walked past the backyard to the front yard, when the sound of singing and dancing and drinking and fisting outside was louder than before. Chen Shaobai walked beside An Zheng and said in a low voice: "Now that all the cultivators in Ethereal City have gathered in the City Lord's Mansion, it seems that the City Lord intends to do this. He may know some of the secrets of the Six-Winged Skeleton, and I guess it's because he was worried that Ethereal City's own strength would not be able to stop the Six-Winged Skeleton's next attack, so he was so enthusiastic about keeping everyone behind. Now that the cultivators are all gathered, once the six-winged skeleton attacks again, Ethereal City will also have the power to protect itself. ”
An Zheng nodded: "It's similar to what I thought, this Daxi Changge must know some secrets of the six-winged skeleton." ”
Chen Shaobai said: "It stands to reason that this is really incomprehensible, in such a close place from Peacock City, how can the Peacock Ming Palace allow demonic things to appear? ”
An Zheng: "Wait and see, if it's really just to defend against the six-winged skeleton, it doesn't hurt for us to stay for a while." ”
Chen Shaobai hummed and looked around vigilantly.
An Zheng's attention at this time was on the side of a small single-family wooden house in the distance. Outside the wooden house, there were at least thirty guards from the City Lord's Mansion who were closely guarded. The guards looked serious, their hands never taking off the hilt of their swords. In other words, the people in the cabin are particularly important.
An Zheng went outside to find a place to sit down, drank two glasses of wine, and then asked a person wearing the guard costume of the City Lord's Mansion: "The small courtyard in the back is heavily guarded, is there any big man protecting?"
The guard shook his head, "No, it's the dervish who saved our Ethereal City." ”
An Zheng was just sudden, but ..... Since he is the ascetic, why is it so closely protected?
An Zheng and Chen Shaobai glanced at each other, and Qi Tian, who was sitting on the other side, was already pushing the cup and changing the cup with a rough man he didn't know, and he was drinking happily. Of course, Chen Shaobai understood what An Zheng meant, and the two of them stood up and pretended to go to the toilet, and then unfolded the yaksha umbrella in the toilet and secretly slipped towards the backyard.
If it was just to protect that dervishe, there really wasn't any need to send that many people. Even, there is no need to send people to protect it at all. The dervish was a friend of the Ethereal City, not a prisoner. Besides, everyone knows that it was the ascetic who saved the Ethereal City, so who would deliberately harm him?
Fortunately, the cultivation realm of the dozens of guards was not high, so An Zheng and Chen Shaobai approached the outside of the wooden building and were not discovered. An Zheng pointed to the banquet outside, meaning to let Chen Shaobai help him sentry. Chen Shaobai glared at him, and the meaning in his eyes was why I was sentry and not you. But he moved a few steps outward, observing the situation outside. Although the eyes are very resistant, the body is very honest.
An Zheng held the Yaksha umbrella, and his body fluttered up to the second floor, entered through the open window on the second floor, and then looked down at the staircase on the second floor...... The omission of at least four or five guards in there, and the fact that they were already unsheathed, was even more bizarre.
The dervishes lay in the hall on the first floor, on a very simple wooden bed, and their bodies were not covered with quilts, which was obviously unusual. The guards with their knives out of their sheaths seemed to be protecting him, more like they were going to strike at any time. An Zheng noticed that the young ascetic's face was pained, and his brow was furrowed deeply. The two things he carried with him, a string of Buddhist beads and a bowl, were placed beside him.
Although it seems a little unusual, An Zhengping can't make any judgment. It can only be said that the city lord Daxi Changge must know something, and he should know a lot.
Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into An Zheng's head...... As soon as this thought appeared, An Zheng's back felt a chill. The cold came out involuntarily, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
He looked outside, then at the dervishe, curled up on the wooden bed, and seemed to understand something.
And the few people who guarded the dervishes, the knives were close to the ascetics.
Da Xi long song!
Ann was moved by murderous intent.
