210, the second to the city lord's mansion
The next day, Bai Gu and Wang Xizhou had just finished their morning teaching and studying, and when they were about to go downstairs for lunch, a group of well-dressed people poured into the inn and stood in the entire lobby on the first floor.
Bai Gu and a few people happened to be standing at the stairs, watching this group of people enter the door and line up, driving people to clear the field.
The first person carried the back of the innkeeper's erection neck, and shouted in a loud voice: "Go, call that Wang Xizhou, the city lord has something to find him, so let me wait to summon him." ”
The innkeeper was a fat man who was not tall, and he was picked up at this time, and he had to desperately tiptoe to barely reach the ground, and his hands were drawn around in the air like Wang Ba Shui, and the fat on his body was swaying.
The innkeeper wanted to cry without tears, "Official, my inn is not small, the number of people who come and go every day is uncountable, where can I remember the appearance and name of each guest?" Just spare me! ”
The leader snorted coldly and threw the innkeeper away, "I spared you?" If you can't bring people back, the city lord can't spare me! Hurry up, or I'm welcome! ”
"Official, I really don't know if I have such a person in this inn! You are gracious, give me a stick of incense, and I will let people find it quickly. ”
"Lots of nonsense? Hurry up! The leader pulled over the stools, threw the spear in his hand to the ground, and sat down with a golden sword. Why don't you hurry up and get a pot of tea to drink? The brothers came all the way and didn't even give them a saliva? ”
The innkeeper hurriedly reassured: "Immediately, immediately, everyone wait a while, and the tea will come immediately." ”
"Don't be that kind of thick branches! I can't get used to it. ”
"Don't worry, the official can rest assured, the high-quality tea, the tea that doesn't burn the mouth, I know."
"Go ahead."
Bai Gu turned his head to look at Wang Xizhou, who was pinching a jade bead at this time, which was emitting a faint light in this steep spring cold, and Bai Gu felt a burst of warmth at a distance of several steps.
I think it's also a high-grade Dao weapon.
Wang Xizhou, this guy, has an extraordinary wealth!
"Brother Wang, what should I do?"
Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu, and then looked up at the dozens of people below, a little hesitant.
The person at the head took a sip of the tea brought by the innkeeper himself, looked around, and happened to see Bai Gu and a few people standing on the stairs. Seeing that a few people were dressed in acceptable clothes, especially the white clothes, which were not cheap at first glance, they thought it was a rich merchant boy who was passing by, so the person at the head beckoned and shouted at a few people: "You guys, what are you doing there?" While I'm in a good mood now, uncle, hurry up and get out, otherwise I'll dress you up as rock sugar gourds! ”
When Wang Xizhou heard this, he stepped out, and instantly came to the person's side, and sat down, "Introduce yourself, and below is the Wang Xizhou you want to find." ”
The person in charge, that is, Yu Sheng, the third-in-command of Xuanhuo Wei, was stunned for a while, and then stood up vigilantly, reached out and took the spear on the side, pointing at Wang Xizhou.
Stared at Wang Xizhou for a while, and seeing that Wang Xizhou didn't move, Yu Sheng laughed out loud, "What a big dog guts, I won't go to you, but you sent it to the door, I really haven't seen the Hades knife!" ”
Wang Xizhou immediately corrected: "The king of Hades doesn't use a knife, and the legend says that his weapon is a black iron whip, or the seal of the Son of Heaven in Xudu, and a book of life and death." As for the Hades and the reincarnation of the same light, these are controversial. However, in so many legends, Hades really never used a knife, so the statement of Hades knife is not valid. ”
Yu Sheng froze for a moment, then angrily waved the spear in his hand and slashed towards Wang Xizhou's neck.
Wang Xizhou didn't look at it, but just raised his left hand, and with a flick of his fingers, the spear was shaken away, shattering into several iron bars in the air.
High and low judgments.
A Soul Casting Realm, facing a Soul Casting Realm, does not need to use spiritual power, and can easily shake and shatter his Dao magic weapon.
Yu Sheng's face was full of horror, and he immediately knew that the man in white in front of him was far above him, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, and took out a big knife, the tip of the knife pointed upwards, and the blade was facing Wang Xizhou.
Wang Xizhou smiled slightly, "Xizhou had a fight with Xikeqing two days ago, this little brother won't know it, right?" ”
Yu Sheng was stunned.
Some time ago, he took leave to go home to take care of his seriously ill old mother, and did not come back in a hurry until last night. When the meeting was held in the morning, the chief guard of the City Lord's Mansion asked everyone to "invite" Wang Xizhou to the City Lord's Mansion, but no one dared to respond.
Then, after a round of shirking, the errand finally fell to him.
But no one mentioned it to him, this guy can wrestle with Picky Keqing!
And this "please" is really please!
If he had known that this was the case, he wouldn't have dared to take this hot potato!
Wang Xizhou smiled again: "It's okay, it's still troublesome for the little brother to lead the way, Xizhou can just take a trip to the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Yu Sheng was relieved, but he still had to hold on to Xuanhuo Wei's face, and he had the courage to respond, "Okay, then come with us." ”
But the voice that trembled like playing cotton had already betrayed him.
Wang Xizhou nodded, and looked at the three Bai Gu on the stairs again, "You guys, do you want to go together?" ”
"If there's lunch in the City Lord's Mansion, I don't mind going for a walk." Bai Gu is a serious way.
Hua Xie glanced at Bai Gu, and then echoed: "I'm going to eat too." ”
"Wherever my brother goes, I'll go." Bai Xiaoxiao whispered.
Wang Xizhou looked at Yu Sheng, "Xizhou wants to bring a few more people, the City Lord's Mansion shouldn't mind, right?" ”
Yu Shengdun felt the pressure doubled.
Let's say yes, if you make the person in front of you unhappy, a slap down, your small body can't withstand it, and it's not impossible that there will be no ashes left on the spot.
Say no, if the City Lord's Mansion is really unprepared, and he will bring someone over and make the City Lord's Mansion lose face, then it will be a big trouble.
And if the cost of hospitality is calculated on your own head, it will be a disaster without reason.
As far as his own point is concerned, a meal entertained by the city lord's mansion to entertain distinguished guests is enough for him to work hard in the mansion for most of his life, and it is not necessarily enough.
What a dilemma!
Wang Xizhou seemed to know Yu Sheng's difficulties, and said: "Don't worry, these people were brought by Xizhou, and Xizhou will not embarrass the little brother if there is anything Xizhou bears." ”
"Mr. Wang, please." Yu Sheng's heart was suddenly filled with admiration and gratitude for Wang Xizhou, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the first step and led the way.
Even the title also carries the word sir.
Hua Xie picked up the two children beside him, jumped over, and came to Wang Xizhou's side, "Let's go?" ”
Wang Xizhou nodded.
Hua Xie turned around, threw a piece of silver to the innkeeper, and smiled, "Shopkeeper, we have shown us the room upstairs, don't let people in." Otherwise, when we come back, we'll trouble you. ”
The innkeeper straightened his hands, and his fat body almost fell, so he finally received the ingot of silver thrown by Hua Xie.
Holding the silver in the palm of his hand, the innkeeper smiled happily, completely without the panic and fear that Yu Sheng had just picked up, "Okay, guest officer, I promise to take care of you!" ”
"It's good to have a memory, and your hands and feet should be clean." After Hua Xie dropped this sentence, he followed the three Bai Gu who had already walked out of the inn.
——————
In a dignified lobby, two of the main seats were empty, and six people were seated on either side.
Wang Xizhou, flower evil, white lonely, white small.
Li Whale Shuang, pick up the joy.
Li Jingshuang is still dressed in brocade clothes today, and Xuan Xi has changed into blue clothes, which makes him look a little younger.
It's just that he is as happy as before, leaning on the Taishi's chair, supporting his cheeks with one hand, and he is still lazy.
Li Jingshuang had a kind smile on his face, looking at a man in his thirties. It's just that in Wang Xizhou's eyes, this Li Whale is not so simple.
How could a cultivator be in his thirties and be willing to come to this land of yellow sand to be a city lord who says that it is not big or small?
And the most important thing is that Wang Xizhou is in the realm of the mortal, and he can't even see Li Jingshuang's cultivation realm, he only knows that he has cultivation in his body.
Wang Xizhou couldn't see through Bai Gu, it was understandable, after all, Bai Gu had a sword immortal master, and it was not unusual for him to have anything on him.
But why is this Li Jingshuang?
Li Jingshuang's smile is a good person, and it really doesn't make people see any flaws or problems.
"I don't know what happened to City Lord Li looking for Xizhou to come here today?"
"Mr. Wang fought with Xuanxi before yesterday, and his injuries should not have recovered now, so I invited Mr. Wang, I took the liberty of it. But it's really helpless, and I ask Mr. Wang to forgive me. Li Jingshuang smiled.
Wang Xizhou waved his hand, "City Lord Li said it's okay. ”
"That's right, the battle between Mr. Tianwang and Cuixi before yesterday was seen by many people in the city, resulting in some remarks in the city now that Mr. Yu, Yu Cuixi, and Yu City Lord's Mansion are not very good. I invited Mr. Wang over today to discuss how to deal with this matter? ”
Wang Xizhou nodded in clarity, and asked rhetorically: "If it is according to the past, what will City Lord Li do?" ”
Li Jingshuang smiled, "I usually rarely ask about these things involving rewards and punishments, and these are all in charge of Xuanxi. ”
Pick Xi took over the conversation without thinking about it, "Arrest these people, and if you can confess your guilt, you will only kill him." didn't admit it, but found evidence of the crime, and beheaded all over the house. Those who have a bad attitude and are deeply responsible for their crimes are connected to the nine clans. ”
Wang Xizhou couldn't help but speak: "This punishment is a bit heavy. ”
"Filial piety comes out under the stick, and strict government can manage big cities and big countries well. Otherwise, how do you think that in just ten years, how did Velvet City set things right and take off? ”
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat, under the harsh government, the resentment accumulated by the people will one day blossom and bear fruit, so that you will eat the evil fruits yourself."
"Then wouldn't it be good to kill them until they don't dare to have grievances? Woman's kindness! ”
"Unrighteous deeds will only consume and cut off the future of a city, the number of a country's morale, and the number of ways to eat food, after all, it is not the right way!"
"Civilian thinking will only be biased to a corner, and they will never be able to see clearly or see the overall situation!"
"Cool officials are brutal!"
"Scholars talk about misleading the country!"
