Chapter 19: The First Entry into the Sytro Region
After saying a brief goodbye to Li Wuchang in the carriage, Xiang Fan went to give a few words to the black-clad coachman outside, and walked towards the tavern.
Soon after, the coachman came up to Li Wuchang and asked:
"Mr. Li, where are you going?"
Li Wuchang thought about it, glanced at Meng Yao, and replied:
"Citro region."
Meng Yao on the side looked at him in surprise.
"Okay."
"Thank you. Great work. ”
The coachman sat back on his horse, and the carriage began to move again.
Meng Yao finally asked:
"Brother Chang, do you know where my house is......? Who do you know about me? ”
The corners of Li Wuchang's mouth curled slightly:
"The eldest lady of the Shangguan family, who doesn't know who is so beautiful."
Meng Yao's face flushed slightly, and she muttered:
"I thought you didn't know me...... I'm thinking about how to explain it to you. Did you know all along? ”
Li Wuchang held his chin and thought about how to continue to edit:
"No, it's just when you say you have 100,000 taels of silver pocket money...... I was a little skeptical, and slowly I remembered who you were. ”
To be honest, he was not sure that he would be able to make Meng Yao believe this statement, mainly because Li Wuchang felt that something like the three major families should be very well-known, and the eldest lady of the family would definitely be known, and in addition, Meng Yao looked very easy to deceive......
"Okay." Meng Yao rubbed her fingers and whispered:
"Brother Chang, I thought you would alienate me because of my identity...... Looks like I'm thinking too much. ”
Li Wuchang stared at her for a few seconds, then looked away and chuckled:
"For the sake of me saving the eldest lady of the Shangguan family twice, I'll trouble you with one thing, I won't ask for your pocket money, you can help me arrange a job as a servant in your family, okay?"
Meng Yao raised her head again:
"The work of a servant? But ......"
Meng Yao pursed her lips, what she wanted was to let Li Wuchang stay by her side to protect her.
Li Wuchang interrupted her:
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Meng Yao sighed lightly, she planned to wait until she returned to the mansion to convince him.
After a moment, Li Wuchang asked:
"By the way, Miss Mengyao, apart from you, do you have any other characters in your family who have the right to speak?"
Meng Yao thought for a moment and said bluntly:
"My mother passed away a few years ago, and now my brother ------ Shangguan Mengren as the head of the family. There shouldn't be anything else, what happens in our family is usually spoken and solved by my brother. ”
Li Wuchang bowed slightly.
After that, Li Wuchang asked a few more questions, and Meng Yao patiently answered them one by one as if she had a hundred reassurances about him.
Seeing that Li Wuchang didn't know much about the three major families, Meng Yao told him about the work of the three major families on weekdays.
The Shangguan family, where Meng Yao is located, is responsible for the daily and entertainment and cultural activities of the people of the whole country on weekdays, the Jiujo family is responsible for the commercial economy, and the Dongfang family where Dongfang Ying is located is responsible for managing the army and the country's public security issues.
Li Wuchang listened quietly, and after a moment he asked:
"Then, Miss Mengyao......"
Before he could say anything, Meng Yao suddenly stretched out a finger against his lips and interrupted:
"Brother impermanence, you can just call me Yaoyao. Miss Meng Yao is what the people in the family call me. ”
Li Wuchang nodded:
"Hmm...... Yaoyao, then, why did you run out of the West Trop area and come to Fate Street? ”
Meng Yao hesitated for a moment, and told Li Wuchang about the fact that she and her maid Xiaoqing had deceived her brother and escaped the eyes of the servants in the family and secretly ran out to see the Free Army.
Isn't that rebellion...... Li Wuchang muttered.
"Your brother won't blame you when you go back, will he?" Li Wuchang asked.
Meng Yao shook her head:
"No, my brother is very good to me. But Uncle You, who has been taking care of me, is definitely going to scold me...... Hmph, I'll get rid of him when I get back, and I'll let Brother Impermanence take care of me in the future. You won't blame Yaoyao for running around, right? ”
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Wuchang, expecting the other party's answer.
It's fine, as long as the money is in place...... Li Wuchang curled his lips slightly, and was about to say something, but he heard Meng Yao suddenly "ah".
She touched the back of her head and said in a deep voice with a distressed look:
"I seem to ...... Forgot one thing. Sister Xiaoqing, who escaped with me, must be very worried about my whereabouts now, and I hope she can go home by herself......"
The night outside the car was hazy, and Li Wuchang didn't know what time it was, he quietly looked at the scenery outside, and let Meng Yao confide.
She is a hard-working girl, she has lost her parents since she was a child, and the affairs of the family are managed by her brother Mengren, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of love on the way to growth, Li Wuchang thought, maybe because of this, she will become rebellious, and she will escape regardless of the family's worries.
After chatting about some of her own things, Meng Yao shifted the topic to Li Wuchang:
"Brother Impermanence, where is your family?"
Li Wuchang was silent for a while, and shook his head slightly:
"They're far away."
Now he is very happy, fortunately, he didn't have any relatives in his previous life, and he has been alone since he came out of society, so even if he crosses over to another world, he doesn't have any concerns.
He shook his head, no longer thinking about the upsetting trivialities of his previous life.
Seeing his gloomy face, Meng Yao thought that he had accidentally poked some pain from the other party, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
After a long time, Li Wuchang spoke again:
"Yaoyao, how long will it take to get to that Citro region here?"
Meng Yao replied:
"It's probably going to be dawn."
Li Wuchang nodded.
After a while, Meng Yao yawned, rubbed her tired eyes, and said softly:
"Brother Impermanence, I'm tired, I'll rest for a while, and you have to rest too."
"Okay." Li Wuchang looked out.
He suddenly heard Meng Yao say softly:
"I can...... Leaning on your shoulder a little? ”
"Huh?" Li Wuchang looked at her.
Meng Yao stretched out her hand and pointed to the outside of the carriage:
"I'm afraid, accidentally fall out."
It's not that exaggerated, is it...... Li Wuchang tugged at the corners of his mouth and replied:
"It's okay, you can it."
"Thank you."
She looked really sleepy, and the moment she leaned on Li Wuchang's shoulder, it was only five minutes before the sound of breathing gradually evened out, and it was obvious that she was asleep.
Li Wuchang also closed his eyes slightly, but he was not sleepy yet, and he still had many things to think about.
The first is what happened in the tavern not so long ago, or before reincarnation.
The red-haired man made Li Wuchang realize the strength of the king of this country again, and those with prison-level abilities like Xiang Fan and Fa Ge were like ants in front of that man.
The second is about Lin Han, according to her, she was a member of a killer organization called "Dark Night" many years ago, and the boss of that organization was still her father, but one day the king suddenly sent an army to exterminate the organization, and only Lin Han and her sister survived.
One more thing worth noting...... According to the red-haired man's sentence at the time, "I didn't expect the little girls I let go back then grow into big beauties" and Lin Han's later panic reaction, it can be seen that the red-haired man was the one who slaughtered their organization back then.
This is also a coincidence, one second Lin Han was still expounding the experience of the year, and the next second the enemy came.
At that time, the reason why the red-haired man named Sang Yi wanted to kill everyone present was because Li Wuchang and Xiang Fan took Guan Mengyao from Dongfang Ying and hindered the king's plan.
Li Wuchang felt that with the appearance of Lin Han and Lance, he had slowly stepped into the dispute in that circle, although he still knew nothing about many things now.
I don't know how long later, he gathered his thoughts and came back to his senses, but suddenly heard Meng Yao, who was sleeping next to him, muttering:
"Cold, so cold......"
Li Wuchang hesitated for a moment, slowly took off the tuxedo coat on his body, and covered Meng Yao's body.
Meng Yao stopped talking in her dreams and continued to fall asleep.
Slowly, a sense of sleepiness gradually surged into Li Wuchang's heart, and he began to brew sleepiness.
When the two of them were asleep, the sky outside the car was getting brighter, and the dawn of dawn lifted the light veil of night and spit out the brilliant morning.
When Li Wuchang opened his eyes, he found Meng Yao on his lap, sleeping until he was old, and he still had saliva on his black trousers.
"it!"
Li Wuchang suddenly felt nauseous, coupled with a little sense of getting up, he hurriedly raised his legs, and Meng Yao rolled directly onto the floor of the carriage.
"Hmm......"
Because her head hit the floor, Meng Yao woke up instantly, she covered her forehead with her hands, and looked at Li Wuchang blankly.
"Brother Impermanence, ...... early" Meng Yao said inarticulately, "What's wrong with me, did I fall off from sleeping......
Li Wuchang was embarrassed to mention the stubble just now, and he looked at his pants distressedly.
When I killed Dongfang Ying, I was careful to take care of it......
He replied without changing his face:
"Morning, you went to bed so carelessly. Does it still hurt? ”
Meng Yao muttered:
"It's all right......"
She turned her head to look out the window:
"It's already dawn, haven't you arrived yet?"
No sooner had he said that the carriage stopped.
Li Wuchang poked his head out to see where he was now, when the man with a horse in front of him came over and asked respectfully:
"Mr. Li, the front is the Citro area, I have some unspeakable secrets, I am not allowed to enter, you see......"
Li Wuchang jumped out of the car, holding a silk hat in his hand, and looked around.
"It's okay, just send it here, thank you."
The man looked at him gratefully, and then said:
"Okay. Mr. Li, you pay attention to safety, I'll go back first. ”
Li Wuchang smiled and nodded, and Meng Yao, who was wearing his tuxedo coat behind him, also got out of the car and stood side by side with him.
He looked at the scenery around him that was different from Fate Street, and suddenly sighed.
