Chapter 164: Recruiting Relatives in Competition
"And that kind of thing?"
Situ stood up at once, his face full of excitement.
"Is it really a martial arts competition? I haven't seen it yet, it's great, it's good, God...... Madam, shall we take a look? ”
In the early morning of the next day, Xitu was jumping around in the stone forest courtyard wrapped in red, while Shangguan Li and Xuanyuan Ye were each leaning against a stone.
The difference is that one stands up straight, and the other seems to be about to slide into the snow under his feet at any moment.
Shangguan Li yawned, rubbed away the physiological tears oozing out of the corners of his eyes, and said lazily.
"The wrong step."
As soon as her words fell, a small pebble flew out of Xuanyuan Ye's hand, and it was right in Xitu's calf, which made her tremble in pain, and she almost fell directly from those rockeries.
"Seriously."
The culprit was smirking on the side.
"Xiao Tu'er, if you don't practice this light skill, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of Anning Town when you enter Anning Town."
Shangguan Li rarely stood in the same position as him, nodded and said solemnly.
"That's right, your master may not be able to do anything else, and the cheats and the like in his hand should still have some credibility."
Although Situ also thinks that it is good to learn more, there is still a problem.
"Can't I just not go?"
To be honest, she thinks that the legend is still very scary, and she is fine with everything else, but for some inconvenient reason, she is really afraid to go to Anning Town.
But Shangguan Li didn't have any humanity, and she rejected categorically.
"If you don't go, there will be no bait at the critical moment...... Backed up? ”
Situ had a wooden face, did she hear the truth just now?
"Let's not talk about that."
Shangguan Li quickly changed the subject.
"What's going on with that martial arts competition?"
"Xu Shuo - that is the governor of the southwest, he has a daughter, she is very precious, she has already passed the age of marriage and has not found a lover, so she is in a hurry."
Xuanyuan Ye picked up a handful of small pebbles wrapped in fine snow in his hand, looked at the direction of Xitu carelessly, and smiled.
"I heard that his daughter is a first-class beauty, and her father is in a high position, so it is really strange that she is not married now."
Shangguan Li sighed, although she didn't understand what was strange, but she didn't delve into this issue, the key is such a big thing, why didn't they hear any wind when they came?
This question turned around in her heart, and when she wanted to suppress it for a while and then investigate it slowly, she suddenly remembered what Xuanyuan Ye said.
After a moment's hesitation, she asked.
"How did you know that?"
The smile on the corner of Xuanyuan Ye's mouth deepened a little, but there was no clue in his tone.
"Inside information."
The corners of Shangguan Li's mouth twitched, meaning that there were even his people in the so-called City Lord's Mansion?
"Bai Ye is really powerful."
"Average."
He said politely, and said as if he had thought of something.
"But this matter will come out soon, and the City Lord's Mansion should be lively by then."
"We'll have a chance, right?"
Xuanyuan raised his chin, and another small pebble flew out of his hand, this time the force was a little stronger, and he heard a little fascination in the middle of Xitu.
"Ahh
With an exclamation, she fell into the snowdrift.
Shangguan Li stretched out a hand and picked up some fluttering snowflakes, without the intention of going over to help Xitu up.
"It's really an opportunity."
After the three of them had breakfast, they began to go their separate ways.
Xitu continued to practice her light skills hard, in order to break into the "Longtan Tiger's Den" she imagined one day, Xuanyuan Ye upheld the rigorous identity of "husband and wife" as usual, and followed Shangguan Li every step of the way.
"Are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Xuanyuan Ye followed Shangguan Li half a step behind, but because he was too tall, his sense of presence was very strong, and Shangguan Li had to twist his head ninety degrees to the other side if he wanted not to see him.
"Bai Ye is really clever, I know this."
He was honest.
"Last night, I asked someone to send me a map, and after reading it for half a night, I probably understood where this road leads."
Shangguan Li sighed, and had to admit that if he was on the same side as this person, he would indeed save a lot of worry.
But on the other hand, she clearly knew that people like Xuanyuan Ye looked harmless to humans and animals, and their laughter seemed to make people feel like a spring breeze, but they were actually more indifferent than anyone else.
"Originally, I wanted to sneak in and have a look by myself, but since you're here, let's go in through the main entrance."
This kind of thing about breaking into the empty door in broad daylight was said by Shangguan Li with confidence, but Xuanyuan Ye didn't care about it.
"My identity, although I have some status in the eyes of ordinary people and businessmen, but it is nothing to Xu Shuo, and I heard that he hates businessmen for some reason."
He did not elaborate on this "certain reason", and it is estimated that it is some "internal information".
Shangguan Li raised his chin, and the corners of his long eyes showed a little careless rebelliousness.
"Then the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth."
Halfway through the two of them, they suddenly remembered that their current identity was a wealthy businessman, and it was a bit too "close to the people" if they walked over on their feet.
So he turned back halfway and pulled a decent carriage.
After a delay for a while, the streets of Linyang have completely woken up, selling tea, selling breakfast, and there is a wonderful taste of tea fragrance and sweet fragrance mixed together in the air.
If Shangguan Li hadn't eaten enough in the morning, she would have the heart to go down and buy some snacks now.
The carriage walked for a while, and the body suddenly paused, and gradually stopped.
Before Shangguan Li and Xuanyuan Ye could ask, the driver had already opened his mouth to explain.
"It seems that the City Lord's Mansion has issued some important general document, and there are many people reading it in front of me, old lady, why don't we go another way?"
Shangguan Li almost immediately thought of what Xuanyuan Ye said, "It will come out soon", and it was indeed very fast.
"Let's take a detour."
"Okay sir!"
The car swayed again.
The City Lord's Mansion and the White Mansion are not far away, probably because Linyang pays attention to what kind of "rich area", rich and powerful people live together.
So in fact, the two mansions are only separated by the most prosperous street in Linyang Day, otherwise Shangguan Li would not have thought of walking over at first.
If you want to ask her how she knows where the City Lord's Mansion is, she doesn't have the power that Xuanyuan Ye seems to be everywhere, but she has a mouth, and the location of the City Lord's Mansion is not a secret, and anyone on the street knows it.
The carriage shook for a while, and soon arrived.
Shangguan Li rubbed his face, kneaded a face that could be called tender, and looked at Xuanyuan Ye with a smile.
"Let's go, sir."
