Chapter 9: Murphy's Law

Liu Lin spit out a mouthful of blood first, and then squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "It's yours." ”

The long knife was put into the sheath, and Liu Lin said again: "In the late stage of Jindan, bully the early stage of Jindan, so shameless!" ”

"Concession, concession!" The silver-haired sloppy old man said with a hippie smile, and his smile made his face more wrinkled.

Liu Lin snorted coldly and hurried back to the city.

It's dawn.

"This alchemist can't be kept, what if the government doesn't dare to take him? If this is released? This bear thing must have come to my Shen family for revenge, if I had killed him earlier, it would have been good to blame me, I thought he was a loose cultivator, who would have thought that he was the most popular alchemist, it was really a wrong step, a wrong step! ”

Shen Li was restless, he couldn't eat well or sleep well.

"Father, why don't you go to the yamen today to ask." Shen Li found Shen Wande, who was having breakfast.

"Ask what, come and eat. The True Alchemist is an immortal cultivator, can he let our group of people be tied up? It's definitely fake, you don't have to worry about it. After Shen Wande finished speaking, he took a bite of the steamed bun.

"But ......," Shen Li wanted to say and stopped.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Even Lord Liu, you have been defeated, and a nosy old man has appeared!" The lord of the city, who never swears, is angry and scolds people.

"People like alchemists are used to being high, and they will be revenged, and I stabbed him, wanting to kill him, but unfortunately I didn't stab him to death! Shouldn't it? I haven't heard of anyone who stabbed his heart to immortality. ”

Liu Lin habitually touched his beard with his hands, but unfortunately he didn't touch it.

"What a bad luck!" Liu Lin shook his hand and said angrily.

"Lord Liu, my Wancheng is close to their Vermilion Bird Empire, if Suzaku really sends troops, our Wancheng defenders won't be able to withstand it! You can't go! The city lord said.

"Well, Lord City Lord, this matter started because I missed, I won't leave, I want to meet the Shen family boy." Liu Lin reached out and touched his beard again, but he still didn't touch it.

Liu Lin thought to himself: "A scholar can actually abolish Sima Xiang's cultivation, this kid still has something in his hand that can be robbed by alchemists regardless of their identity, there must be a secret." ”

"By the way, if you don't mention it, Lord Liu, I almost forgot about this stubble!" The lord of the castle was suddenly as happy as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"What's the matter?"

"That kid from the Shen family is the quasi-son-in-law of the Xiao family, if the Xiao family can stand up and say something, that Luo pot alchemist won't be able to make any waves!"

"Oh? And this relationship? ”

"Yes, I have to summon the Shen family father and son."

Shen Mansion.

"Second master, the official from the City Lord's Mansion is here, saying that the City Lord is going to summon the master and the young master now." Xiao Wu reported to Shen Wancai.

"Big brother is busy in the store, you go and inform quickly. Li'er was in the room, and I went to look for him. ”

Shen Wancai, who was reading the account book while making an abacus, immediately put down the work in his hand and got up and walked towards Shen Liwu.

Shen Wancai met Shen Lizheng in the courtyard with his upper body naked and doing one-finger push-ups.

"Li'er, hurry up and dress formally, the city lord will summon you now."

"Okay, second uncle." Shen Li hurriedly got up, took a towel and quickly wiped his sweat, then turned around and went into the house to get dressed.

Shen Wancai led Shen Li to meet Shen Wande, who was also rushing to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Big brother, Li'er is handed over to you, my account is not finished yet! I'll go back and settle the score. ”

"Okay second brother, that's hard for you."

Shen Wande led Shen Li to the City Lord's Mansion, and the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion had already greeted the father and son at the door.

"Steward Lin, what is the identity of my father and son? How can you greet me personally, it really torments my father and son. Shen Wande saluted Steward Lin and said.

"Where is Brother Shen, if you see outside, come with me, the city lord has something important to look for you." Steward Lin grabbed Shen Wande's wrist and walked into the house.

A few people took three steps and made two steps, even if the city lord's mansion was very large, they also slipped away to the city lord's study.

"Brother Shen, Master Shen, please inside."

After the Shen family father and son entered the study, Steward Lin closed the door from the outside.

"Here, Boss Shen, please take a seat," the city lord got up from the table where he was sitting.

"Grass man Shen Wande and his son Shen Li, see the city lord. Grass people Shen Wande, how can He De sit with the city lord? Shen Wande bowed ninety degrees and arched his hand.

"Sit down, sit down, I don't have those false courtesies, I'll make a long story short, this is Lord Liulinliu, who is in charge of the case of the alchemist, and they all thought that Luo Guozi was impersonating, shouting and killing him, and he was being tortured, but I never thought that Luo Guozi was a real alchemist!"

Shen Wande, who had just sat down, was shocked, quickly knelt down, and said in horror:

"The grass people should die, the grass people should die, this time it has affected the city lord and Lord Liu."

Liu Lin hurriedly helped Shen Wande to his seat and said, "Boss Shen, don't say anything about whether it is even burdensome or not, now we are all grasshoppers on a rope, we can't jump on you, and we can't run away from me." ”

"My lord, what do you say, and the villain obeys the arrangement."

"Boss Shen, now even me and the city lord don't know what to do, how can we arrange for you, this alchemist named Sima Xiang has now been rescued by an immortal cultivator, and when he returns to the Vermilion Bird Empire, he will definitely report this humiliation to the upper echelons of the Vermilion Bird Empire, and then we will wait to bear the wrath of the Vermilion Bird Empire!"

"Ahh How good is that? How good is that? Shen Wande slapped his head with his hand, depressed.

Shen Li lowered his head, his face was expressionless, he didn't say a word, and thought, "I'm really afraid of something!" Murphy's Law is sincere and does not deceive me! ”

The city lord said: "Boss Shen, it's not completely impossible, I heard that your Shen family has a good relationship with the Xiao family, if the Xiao family comes forward, it will definitely be settled." ”

"I can't hide it from the city lord, although my son Shen Li has a marriage contract with the Xiao family, it is also stained with the light of the third child of Qingyunmen, my Shen family may not be able to invite the Xiao family, I can only try it to see if the Xiao family can buy the face of the third child."

"Dead horses should be treated as live horse doctors, the Vermilion Bird Empire is in full swing, almost all the territory south of the entire Eastern Regions belongs to the Vermilion Bird Empire, and our six countries in the north are also in danger, the Six Nations Alliance was just defeated at the beginning of the year, and you don't know about our Chuyun Empire cutting twelve cities in a row, our Wancheng is now less than a hundred miles away from the newly divided border, and the Vermilion Bird Empire dares to send troops to attack it if it finds a reason."

There was a hint of sadness in the words of the city lord.

"Lord City Lord, I will go to the Vermilion Bird Empire to visit the Xiao family early tomorrow morning with my dog."

"Okay, Boss Shen, the fathers and villagers of Wancheng rely on you." The lord of the castle hugged his fists.

Shen Wande returned the salute: "Shen will do his best." ”

"This time I went with Boss Shen, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I can't get close to ten or eight ordinary nights, so I can protect Boss Shen." Liu Lin said.

"Then there's Lord Lauliu. Shen immediately went back to arrange the carriage and horses, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”
