Chapter 186: The Calm Before the Storm
Wanyang City City Lord's Mansion.
"Young man, are you saying that the Jingfu is coming to seize Wanyang City?" asked Yuan Ang, who was sitting in the city lord's seat.
Qin Tao nodded, stretched out his hand to the side and made a gesture of please, and said, "This adult told me." ”
Yuan Ang looked at the gesture, and instantly saw Ai Rui sitting on the chair, and was startled, and hurriedly asked, "This, who is this adult?"
Although Ai Rui had reined in his aura, his own aura could not be concealed, and it was impossible for a cultivator with spiritual consciousness like Yuan Ang not to feel it.
Ari smiled faintly: "Old man Ari." ”
Surprise turned into horror, Yuan Ang immediately stood up, looked at the middle-aged man with a calm expression in disbelief, and hurriedly said respectfully: "It turns out that you are Lord Red Dragon, Yuan Ang has seen adults." ”
Ari nodded, "Good to say." I heard Qin Tao say that Wanyang City is in charge of you for the time being, so you have to defend yourself. ”
Yuan Ang sat back in his seat and said with a smile: "That's nature, please rest assured Lord Red Dragon." ”
Except for Qin Tao, all the people present were confused by Yuan Ang's attitude, thinking that the deadly swordsman was notoriously cold-blooded, and he was as cold as frost to anyone, why did he respect this Ai Rui so much.
For a while, several people couldn't help but become interested in Eri's true strength.
"Senior, I and a few brothers will also stay in Wanyang City, first, to treat Suning's injuries, and secondly, to contribute to the defense of the Jingfu. Qin Tao said.
"That's fine, but it will delay your trip to Wyvern City. ”
Qin Tao smiled: "Then I can't ignore the fact that the people in this Wanyang City are not." ”
......
Qin Tao and the others temporarily lived in the City Lord's Mansion, and the seriously injured Suning received timely treatment. His body was also recovering rapidly, which couldn't help but make Qin Tao feel a little at ease.
"Hey, boy, aren't you alright, you're going to starve me to death!" Du Pianpian shouted as she sat cross-legged on the grass and slammed her fist against the ground.
"yes. Qin Tao, don't make everyone wait too long. Ai Rui, who was sitting next to Du Pianpian, said with a smile.
Next to Ari was Dongdong, who woke up, and although he couldn't speak, he could understand their words, and then he would let out a gentle whimper.
The forehead of the flame scar was covered with black lines, and Qin Tao was roasting the ten fat chickens in front of him while cursing the three foodies in his heart.
Young. The fat chicken wafted out a strong aroma, Du Pianpian sniffed it hard, and then clicked his mouth a few times. said: "Well, it's not bad...... It's just so slow. As he spoke, Du Pianpian's head drooped weakly.
"yes, yes. The old man changed his outfit for this roast chicken. Don't discourage the old man. Ari echoed as he sat down.
Maybe it's because I've been hungry for too long. At this point, Dongdong was unable to swing its little paws, and lay its whole body on the ground, as if it thought that this would reduce the pain of hunger.
"Don't rush, it's going to be good...... I won't give you anything to eat!" Qin Tao said suddenly.
Hearing this, the two and one beast immediately stopped complaining and sat firmly in place, waiting for the delicious food to be baked.
Lan Mengmeng sat on a big rock not far away and watched a few people, her legs swinging freely on the edge of the stone. A sweet smile bloomed on her face all the time.
Wuyang crossed his arms and stood quietly beside the big stone, looked at a few people on the grass and said, "The back garden of the City Lord's Mansion is actually used as a picnic place by you. I really don't know what Ye Teng will think if he finds out......"
Hearing this, Lan Mengmeng looked at the green smoke floating into the air, pointed her chin with her little finger, and said, "Oh, it's all floating to the sky......"
Wuyang was speechless for a while, and beads of sweat the size of beans quietly fell behind the long red hair.
When the fat chicken was roasted, Qin Tao took six and handed them to the two people and one beast who were waiting anxiously, and they took the roast chicken and gobbled it up.
Du Pianpian, who is known as the king of big stomachs, eats the fastest, and the two fat chickens seem to be tight enough to stuff his teeth.
Beautifully clicked her lips, Du Pianpian said excitedly: "Wow! It's really delicious, boy, you roast this meat is many times stronger than the one in the palace, haha, I want it too!"
Qin Tao handed Lan Mengmeng and Wuyang one each, and then divided the remaining two with Du Pianpian.
"Hey, why can he eat three, it's not fair!" exclaimed Ari, chewing on the meat.
"Because I can eat it, the big stomach king is not called for nothing. Du Pianpian straightened her stomach and said.
"What a big stomach, isn't it just a rice bucket. Ari said.
"You...... Too lazy to pay attention to you. Du Pianpian knew that he was by no means Aeri's opponent in terms of strength, so he didn't say much and continued to eat meat.
Qin Tao looked at the two of them and smiled: "Okay, okay, since you want to eat, I'll just bake it again." ”
At this time, Lan Meng, who was sitting on the boulder, suddenly said: "He is handsome, he can cook, what a good man......" said, her pretty face turned crimson, and that admiration appeared in her eyes again.
Wuyang looked up at Lan Mengmeng and exclaimed, "This is?"
Du Pian glanced at her and said, "Don't pay attention to her, you're a nymphomaniac again." ”
At this time, Cheng Yu led a few servants in, and immediately said, "Lord Qin, I brought some wild boar, which can be regarded as a specialty of Wanyang City, I hope you have a good meal." ”
Du Pianpian pointed his finger at Cheng Yu and said, "I like you for this, hurry up and take it." ”
Cheng Yu stepped aside, and the servants behind him brought up the fresh and fat wild boar.
Qin Tao picked up the wild boar meat and ran on the skewers, and roasted it on the fire.
Du Pianpian was nibbling on the roast chicken, while looking at the wild boar on the fire, and his eyes were like seeing a treasure.
Soon, several people finished eating the roast chicken, only Du Pianpian was still there gobbling it up, Wuyang stretched slightly, and then asked Qin Tao, "Shall we stay here forever?"
"Yes, the capital must be defeated. Qin Tao replied.
"I think Yuan Ang can do it himself. ”
Qin Tao was silent for a moment and said, "This is also Sister Rong's territory, I don't want to let this place suffer losses before she comes back." ”
Wuyang sighed lightly, as if she remembered something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, and then she shook her long hair and said leisurely: "Whatever you want." ”
Ai Rui looked at Qin Tao, who was barbecuing, and then looked at Du Pianpian who was gobbling up, and then said to Qin Tao: "I said, Qin Tao, this kid has been eating, how long do you want to roast it." Just throw him in the kitchen. ”
Qin Tao smiled faintly: "It's okay, senior, I promised him to invite him to eat barbecue, let him eat enough this time." ”
Ai Rui didn't answer, but said to Du Pianpian: "Hey, boy, you have to work hard when you're full, if you don't show your real skills to see how I clean you up when the time comes." ”
Eri's majesty suddenly made Du Pianpian frightened, biting the fat that had not yet been swallowed and nodding vigorously, like an obedient child.
Lan Mengmeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Hehe, I met my nemesis again." ”
There was no movement for two days, and people couldn't help but wonder if Eri's information was true or false, but Qin Tao always believed that the Beijing Mansion would come.
The generals in charge of the city's defense had already become extremely impatient, either out of urgency for the battle, or out of fear of the capital, and at this time they were as troubled as ants on a hot pot.
However, even if they were afraid of Yuan Ang, they didn't dare to show it too much.
On the third day, the Jingfu still did not come to capture Wanyang City, and this time it was the turn of the people in the city to sit still.
The closed city gates for three days made it impossible for the people to enter and leave freely, especially the merchants who were traveling in the major cities, and such a ban was really unbearable.
"Oh no, Lord Castle, the people at the southern gate are making trouble again!" a soldier shouted as he rushed into the hall.
Yuan Ang slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly shot out a sharp light, and immediately fixed the soldier in place.
"Order the general of Nancheng to guard the city gate, as for the people making trouble, as long as it does not hurt innocent people, go ahead. ”
After saying that, a breeze blew out of nowhere, instantly sending the panicked soldier out of the hall.
"Cheng Yu, Qin Tao, are they still in the back garden?" asked Yuan Ang.
"Yes, my lord, it's still there. ”
"It's time to be a little nervous after relaxing for three days, presumably the capital has also arrived, and my knife has begun to crave blood......"
"That'...... People are making trouble?"
"It must have been instigated by the people planted in the city by the Beijing government, don't worry too much, maybe everything will be understood after tonight. ”
At this time, a soldier walked in quickly, bowed to Yuan Ang, and said, "Your Excellency, there is a man outside who wants to see Lord Qin Tao, saying that he is a friend of Lord Qin. ”
"Lord Qin's friend?" Cheng Yu wondered.
Yuan Ang looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Cheng Yu, you take that person to see the young man." ”
Cheng Yu nodded, owed to Yuan Ang, and then followed the soldier out of the hall. (To be continued......)
