Chapter 18: The Conspiracy of the City Lord's Mansion
In the public square city, the hour is two quarters.
Shen Jie and Zhou Jun walked on the side of the road, Shen Jie held his head with one hand, and blocked his eyes with one hand, only revealing a little slit to look at the sun, with a comfortable appearance.
"Whew~ It's really nice to be able to come out and bask in the sun, hahaha. ”
"Of course it's good, how about it, I'm recovering from a serious injury, what should I eat to make up for it?" Zhou Jun turned his head and looked at him with a "you know" expression.
"Go, go, go, think of me for something, really. Shen Jie looked at Zhou Jun beside him with a disdainful expression, and the taunt value was instantly MAX!
"You and I are a young master like you, after coming here, I have been on the run all day long, being chased and killed by a female fairy, and I have escaped so that the sky is dark, and I can't see my five fingers" Zhou Jun pursed his lips, and he was about to continue to break the experience of being hunted and killed.
"Stop, don't tell me," Shen Jie looked at him in surprise.
"Okay, okay, no kidding, this is it. ”
Originally, this was the supervision office of the public square city, but since it was to be registered, it was necessary to find a convenient location, and it had to be large enough, so naturally, it was temporarily changed into a registration office.
"It's here so soon, but there are a lot of people today, so it's troublesome. Zhou Jun, why don't we come back tomorrow? Shen Jie scratched his head and proposed.
"Register early and prepare early, although I don't know how the Sword Sect will be assessed, but if you don't make a little preparation, it will definitely be more difficult to pass the assessment. Why don't we just wait, how about it?" Zhou Jun shook his head and analyzed.
"I didn't understand what you said, but let's just wait, let's get in line. Shen Jie rolled his eyes, and then affirmed Zhou Jun's suggestion.
After a stick of incense
"Zhou Jun, have you noticed that there have always been so many people in front of you. Shen Jie patted Zhou Jun on the shoulder and said.
"It seems to be a good thing, if it goes on like this, we won't be able to register for the two of us for a day, what's going on? Let's go to the front and have a look?"
"Let's go!" After speaking, Shen Jie clicked on his toes and went up to the roof.
"Show me, I'll do the same! With a snort, Zhou Jun also jumped up.
"As for it, even this is better than this. Shen Jie looked at Zhou Jun speechlessly as he ran.
"Of course, when the time comes to the assessment, I will definitely be even better than you!Hehe, you couldn't play games with me before, and it's the same here!" Zhou Jun looked at Shen Jie with a mocking look and smiled.
"Not necessarily. Shen Jie also smiled at him and said very much. "I'm a boy who has been drafted!"
"Cut, it's just you? Zhou Jun waved his hand. "Anyway, it's already here, let's see what's going on. ”
At this time, the two of them had already reached the roof near the detention center, quietly watching what was happening there.
"What's the matter! It's been almost three quarters of an hour since that kid went in, and he hasn't checked it yet!" shouted a bearded man who looked like a butcher at the door.
"Yes, I've been here for so long, and my wife sent it earlier, how did you do it!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd behind suddenly began to commotion, and you scolded the registered clerk one by one.
I saw that the little official was covered with sweat, the pen in his hand was unstable, his mouth was open and closed for a while, and he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say.
At this time, a white-clothed scribe stepped out of the detention center, patted the little official on the shoulder, and said, "Go down." ”
"Yes!" the little official ran into the prison as if he had been pardoned. And the white-clothed scribe walked out of the prison.
When the butcher-like man saw that someone had come out, the little official retreated again, and with a thought that he was in charge, and as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he went up and grabbed the scribe by the collar and questioned him.
"Step, step, step, step!" a city guard rushed from not far away, standing outside the crowd with spears in hand.
In an instant, from the edge of the city guard's encirclement, it stretched into the crowd, and the crowd gradually quieted down. And the butcher hurried to his feet, and waited quietly for the scribe to speak.
The white-clothed scribe glared at the butcher, then straightened the scribe's robe, looked at the crowd in front of him, and slowly spoke.
"The people of Yifeng City, below is Zhao Hao, the city lord, who was born in a small village near Yifeng City, and you can understand your feelings about wanting your children to join the Sword Sect. I'm here today just to tell you why it's so slow. ”
Hearing that Zhao Hao, a white-clothed scribe, was also a fellow countryman, everyone looked at him and their eyes became much kinder, and even the last whispering voice disappeared.
"The purpose of this physical examination is to give all the people of Yifeng City the opportunity to send their eligible children to participate in the assessment of the immortals, but if the children we send do not meet the conditions of the immortals, the immortals will leave immediately!
When everyone heard this, they began to discuss again. "I see, just because there is a failure, everyone can't be prevented from participating in the assessment. ”
For a while, the sound of "yes" came and went.
Seeing that everyone was convinced, Zhao Hao nodded and signaled that the city guards could leave.
"Now that the fathers and villagers of Yifeng City have understood, then, continue to register!" After saying that, Zhao Hao turned around and was about to walk into the house. And the little official also wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly sat down on the registered seat.
on the roof.
"Hey, Shen Jie, this guy is too, obviously trying to drag the rhythm, what is this city lord going to do!" Zhou Jun frowned, and the unhappiness in his heart was already clearly expressed.
If the time comes, the immortals will definitely not wait, if so, there will be more people who have not registered, and those who have already registered will have a greater chance of being selected by the immortals!" Shen Jie affirmed.
"Then he won't give you a quota?" Zhou Jun pouted.
"I guess he doesn't want to give anyone's quota, only to the people he wants to give, such as his son and the like. Hmph!shameless!" Shen Jie snorted disdainfully.
"Do you want to make a big deal, Young Master Shen?" Zhou Jun played with taste.
"Why not?" said Shen Jie with a smile. "This city lord is full of soft knives, I also want to see if he will come hard!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they were going to go down to find Zhao Hao.
Suddenly, Zhou Jun, who was one step behind, grabbed Shen Jie. "Wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Shen Jie looked at Zhou Jun suspiciously.
"You see. Zhou Jun pointed to the door of the detention center, and Shen Jie followed the direction he pointed and cast his gaze. I saw a white-clothed swordsman suddenly appear at the door of the detention center.
"In this Yifeng City, apart from the people of the three major families who dare to stand there, there is" Zhou Jun gave Shen Jie another "You know" look.
"Is that an immortal of the One Sword Sect?" Shen Jie said excitedly.
"It should be him. Zhou Jun nodded in affirmation.
