Castle Lord's Mansion.

It's a neglected place.

In other words, it is a place that someone deliberately wants Wang Li to ignore it.

Shu Yao has said everything, but he has not mentioned the Anping City Lord of the Shu Dynasty.

In fact, this city lord is the real ruler of this mortal realm, and if Yunyu Pavilion wants to gain a foothold in Anping City, it must first obtain the consent of the city lord.

It is not wrong for the Shu Dynasty to accept the jurisdiction of the Shushan Immortal Sect, but as long as there are no major problems in the dynasty, then the Shushan Immortal Sect will not arbitrarily interfere with the operation of the dynasty, which has the reasons of red dust, cause and effect and humanity, in other words, the Shu Dynasty does have a Taishang Emperor sitting on his head, but this Taishang Emperor basically doesn't care.

By extension, the disciples of the Shushan Immortal Sect cannot interfere with the operation of the local government, let alone harm the people of the dynasty, otherwise the local court officials are indeed not the opponents of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, but they can report it, and the royal family will naturally pass it on to Shushan after getting the news, and Shushan will deal with it.

However, Shu Yao didn't say anything about the city lord.

Wang Li noticed.

Because although he has mastered the Dao realm of a relatively high stage, he has not particularly detached himself from Hongchen in terms of psychological cognition, and he understands more about who is directly in charge of the mortal realm, rather than thinking that the Immortal Sect can personally manage all things if he is high.

Therefore, at this moment, when Du Xiaoyu entered the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Li was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

It's a pity that Ma Zhi, as a guide, can't take him into the core of the imperial court official area, so Wang Li can no longer use the talisman astrolabe to monitor it.

Next.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

Coming in was a big man with a scruffy beard.

Seeing that the other party stretched out his hand to brush his cheek, he suddenly took off a mask without a trace, and suddenly in addition to the change in his face, even his clothes and figure also changed.

Ling Yue'er pinched her mask and sat down beside Wang Li happily, and said with a smile: "This magic weapon is really easy to use!" ”

The mask was placed on the table, pale gold in color, as thin as a cicada's wings.

Cicada change, the best magic weapon, given by the lord of the palace.

"Do you like it?" Wang Li asked casually.

"I like it!" Ling Yue'er nodded quickly with a radiant expression.

"Then I will borrow you more to wear it."

"Cut~" The kitten demon bared his teeth as usual.

Wang Li smiled: "Without further ado, have you found anything?" ”

"Of course there are discoveries." Ling Yue'er suddenly became serious: "Gongzi asked me to go to the official palace file to investigate the missing and accidental deaths. I did as you told me to look, but after I used my divine sense to go through all the decades of information in the treasury as quickly as possible, I found no examples that met the conditions for investigation. Those who have disappeared and died unexpectedly end up with relatively complete dossiers, no signs of falsification, and no focus on young women or men. ”

Wang Li's head bowed slightly, not disappointed.

"However, I did see Du Xiaoyu's file."

"Oh?"

"She died twenty years ago, the Qinglou where the accident occurred, was in the location of the current Yunyu Pavilion, and there is no record of her life. But...... I don't think she's exactly from Anping City. ”

There was a slight glint in Wang Li's eyes: "Why?" ”

Ling Yue'er said with great interest: "The case file describes in detail the time, place and reason for Du Xiaoyu's death, and also gives a detailed introduction to her origin, which has such a sentence: The bones were unclaimed, and the visit learned that his parents were deceased, and he came from Du County before moving. ”

"Du County?" Wang Li carefully recalled the map he had seen, and quickly said: "This is a county under the jurisdiction of Anping Prefecture, and it is quite far away from the capital city. ”

Ling Yue'er nodded, then her demeanor changed, and she said with some deception: "Childe, guess what else I found?" ”

Wang Li squinted: "You say so, how can I guess?" ”

"Hey, city lord! Do you know who the lord is? ”

Hearing this, Wang Li also became interested.

He guessed, "Have I seen this person?" ”

Ling Yue'er blinked and refused, "I can't tell you." ”

Wang Li smiled: "So, I'm sure I've seen it, and if I haven't seen it, you should tell me." Well, in fact, it doesn't make sense for me to ask, and if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have guessed. ”

Ling Yue'er suddenly loosened her shoulders in discouragement, leaned on the table and said, "Okay, then do you know who it is?" ”

"I want to think about it......" Wang Li's brows furrowed, recalling all the people he had seen since entering the city.

One by one, he was brought in and then eliminated, and he quickly locked in a candidate.

"Is it Michicho Fuyanagi?"

"Sure enough, I guessed it......" Ling Yue'er said lazily: "It's him, although I don't know why he is working part-time as the master of the White Tiger Temple, but he is indeed the city lord of Anping Mansion personally appointed by the Shu Dynasty, and he has great power." ”

Wang Li laughed: "In this case, many things can be explained." ”

Shu Yao is the master of Fuliu Daochang, and Baihuguan probably relied on this relationship to become the affiliated unit of Shushan, and Fuliu Daochang's age does seem to meet the conditions for being a feudal official.

There are also many cultivators in the imperial court, but the really talented will join Shushan, so basically the people who can really be big officials don't have much cultivation in their bodies, and the Dao Foundation Realm like Fuliu Dao Chang is already very rare.

Looking at it from this point of view, the conditions for their group of people to decide on a Cloud Rain Pavilion were very sufficient.

Heavenly Court, Difu, Shushan, and Dynasty, the relationship is all connected.

The more I look at it, the more I think about it, the more I realize that they are not simple.

"Childe, the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there is a formation to protect it, if you break in directly, the other party will definitely find out first, so I didn't act rashly."

"Well, you're right. My previous guess was fine, the City Lord's Mansion should be their main gathering point, at least it should be a place for them to meet each other, as long as this is confirmed, we don't have to go in. ”

Wang Li thought for a while, and then said, "You go to the vicinity of Yunyu Pavilion to watch and see what else they do today." ”

"Childe, people are girls......"

"You're not a girl, you're a cat."

"That's a little female cat, too."

“…… You continue to take the mask, hurry up. ”

"Well, I'm just not used to those women sticking to me." Ling Yue'er muttered in her mouth and picked up the mask, and after putting it on, this time she chose to become a gentle young man.

After she left, Wang Licai went downstairs again.

Ma Zhi was already waiting.

"Childe, according to your plan, we should go to Xicheng today."

"Well, let's go."

……

Castle Lord's Mansion.

As the master, Fuliu Daoren knelt in front of Du Xiaoyu.

"Fuliu, what about people?"

"Pavilion Master Rongyu, after the last time, he has weakened a lot, and even his soul has an unstable appearance, but today he is seriously ill at home, and his subordinates have sent someone to bring him for treatment."

Du Xiaoyu said indifferently and arrogantly: "Okay, but after today, he can't go back." ”

When Fu Liu heard this, he was not surprised at all, and continued to maintain the posture of touching the ground with his forehead and said: "The subordinates understand that they will definitely make proper arrangements for the pavilion master." ”

"Well, you have always been careful in doing things, no wonder Shu Yao can value you. Also, help me make an appointment with them, the sooner the better. ”

"Pavilion Master, are they all adults?"

"Not bad." The corners of Du Xiaoyu's lips twitched, "Tell them that I'm going to do something big this time." ”

After a moment, Fuliu got up and left.

As soon as he returned to the front yard, he saw the butler approaching with a thin young man.

When the butler saw him, he hurriedly quickened his pace, stepped forward and said flatteringly, "Lord, people have brought it." ”

Fuliu bowed slightly, looking at the young man.

Seeing this, the butler shrewdly took his leave and left.

The young man raised his head slightly, his pale cheeks and bloodless lips indicating that he was not healthy at this time.

Fuliu suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Your mother's body, are you okay?"

"My lord, she is almost completely blind, and the deeper the winter, the worse her cough becomes, but fortunately, with the decoction given by the Lord of the Lord, she can barely maintain it."

"That's good. Back then, your mother asked me to help her name the child, I thought of the old horse, so I directly gave the name of the horse Zhitu, but I didn't expect that she gave birth to you, but did not come to me, but took the name apart, fortunately, the brother knows the way, but also has a charm. ”

When Ma Tu heard this, he couldn't help but show a weak smile: "The adult's affection for the Ma family, my mother and my brother dare not forget." ”

Fuliu's smile is warm, like morning light.

The two chatted for a while, and Fuliu gradually put away his smile, his expression a little solemn.

He didn't speak, so Ma Tu asked, "Dare to ask your lordship what worries?" ”

Fuliu sighed and shook his head: "It's not that I'm worried, but ...... About your mother's illness. ”

Hearing this, although Ma Tu was weak, his eyes suddenly lit up: "My lord, but there is a way to cure my mother's illness?" ”

Fuliu nodded first, then shook his head, frowning between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Ma Tu directly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, if you can cure my mother's illness, I am willing to pay any price!" ”

Fuliu hurriedly helped him up, and said with an embarrassed face: "This matter, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say, but if you want to save her, it will damage you, but you are in the prime of life, if you have three long and two short, what should your mother do?" ”

Ma Tu excitedly held Fuliu's wrist: "My lord! Even if I really die, as long as my mother is in good health, it will not be a vain death, besides, I still have my eldest brother, you know, he is much more capable than me, and he will definitely be able to take care of my mother, so that I have no worries. ”

Fuliu frowned: "Do you really think so?" ”

Ma Tu nodded heavily: "It's true!" ”

"Even if you might die?"

"Even if I will die, I want to cure my mother!"

Fu Liu stared at him for a long time, without the slightest hint of flinching, so he shook his head and sighed: "Idiot, since that's the case, you come with me." ”

Ma Tu breathed a deep sigh of relief, smiled brightly, and followed.
