Chapter 20: Proceedings of the City Lord's Mansion
After Chen Siyu poked the beast egg a few times, he went to the side to cultivate, but what he didn't notice was that when he turned around, the egg shook in an inconspicuous amplitude.
Subsequently, he entered a state of cultivation.
The cultivation lasted until the next morning, when Chen Luoqi called him at the door, and he woke up from his cultivation.
He opened the door and saw that Chen Luoqi had already finished washing, as if he was waiting for him.
"Big brother, what are you?" Chen Siyu was a little confused for a while.
"The city lord invited us to the city lord's mansion."
"We?"
"I heard that the other monks in Yuanqing City are also there, so I guess I want to discuss the recent turmoil. After all, the most anxious person is the city lord of Quanlong City. ”
"Huh? When you say this, what about our city lord of Yuanqing City? Chen Siyu realized it afterwards and remembered this question.
"It seems like I went out a year ago and never came back, so we haven't seen each other."
Chen Siyu nodded, then washed up briefly, and went to the City Lord's Mansion with Chen Luoqi.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a group of monks were sitting in the council hall with serious expressions.
In the hall, there were monks from Quanlong City on one side, and monks from Yuanqing City who had fled from Yuanqing City, and in the middle was the city lord of Quanlong City, Nie Bu.
"City Lord Nie, I don't know what you called us here today?" Someone was the first to speak.
"Hehe, I called you here today, naturally for the sake of the recent affairs of the demon beasts and my human race." After saying this, Nie Bu picked up the tea and tasted it slowly.
No matter how much the others asked, he didn't say anything more.
Until...
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late, I didn't delay things." A man with a meaty face and a fierce face walked in at the door.
This person was none other than Pei Hu, the only Jindan monk in the city.
"No, no, brother, please take a seat." Nie Bu suddenly stood up and greeted Pei Hu's arrival.
"City Lord Nie is polite, where did you go?" Seeing Nie Bu being so polite, Pei Hu couldn't help laughing, and naturally sat down in the middle, and then glanced at the teacup on the table.
Nie Bu suddenly realized, and clapped his hands suddenly, "So blind!" Hurry up and change a good cup of tea for Senior Pei. ”
As soon as these words fell, two subordinates immediately walked out and took away the teacup and took a new one.
Pei Hu nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
Nie Bu sat down beside him and asked, "Brother, do you know about the frequent injuries of demon beasts recently?" ”
"Is that so?" Pei Hu looked surprised, as if he didn't know.
"This matter should start with Yuanqing City..."Nie Bu spent a few minutes briefly talking about the attack on Yuanqing City, and then the recent turmoil.
Pei Hu was thoughtful, silent for a while and said: "The old man only knows about this now, and he really doesn't have a good idea for a while. ”
The implication is obvious, I don't know, don't ask me.
A trace of anger flashed in Nie Bu's eyes, and he quickly suppressed it again, and said, "Brother is the only Jindan stage monk in the city, and you should be in charge of the overall situation. ”
"No, no, no, how can I act beyond my authority, this matter has to be up to the city lord." Pei Hu has always refused to say anything useful, and has been playing ball.
After repeatedly refusing a few times, Nie Bu was also a little angry, and asked you to come, obviously just to share the responsibility with one more person, you are good, and you are clean.
Seeing that Pei Hu's words were not leaking, Nie Bu had no choice but to turn his head to look at the other monks in the hall and asked, "Then fellow Daoists, what do you think?" ”
Silence, or silence, no one wants to be this bird.
After all, if Quanlong City couldn't stay, they could still flee to other cities, and there was no need to stick here.
The city lord is different, he can't run, and if he runs, he will be captured by the Western Chu State.
But even if he doesn't run, in case of a beast tide, he can't hold it, and it's okay to die in battle, but if he doesn't die, he will be held accountable by the lord of the country, or die.
The closest to Yuanqing City is Quanlong City, it is broken, and the next one to bear the brunt is Quanlong City, so he can't help but worry.
So in recent days, Nie Bu has not thought about this matter, and he has not slept well for a day.
"I just came back from Cloudview City the day before yesterday, and the situation there is similar to ours."
"Really?" Nie Bu frowned, wouldn't there be no way to ask for help.
"To tell you the truth, I have contacted the above, but there is no follow-up, this time I called everyone to come, just in the hope of working together to tide over this difficulty."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and ears, especially those from Yuan Qingcheng.
Just kidding! Originally, I fled to Quanlong City to save my life, so let's help again? Dream!
I have a plan in my heart, and I don't want to contribute at all.
Chen Siyu and the two brothers also sat aside early, but they never spoke, watching the development of the situation.
If you say anything to me, the whole hall is noisy.
In the end, Pei Hu slapped the table and said loudly: "What's the noise!" ”
Suddenly, the scene was under control, and Pei Hu gently slapped the table, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, he finally spoke: "This way, I'll see if I can ask my master for help." ”
It's nice to have someone to help out, but... When did this Pei Hu have a master? Everyone couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.
Nie Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, no matter who his master was, as long as someone took responsibility together.
As Pei Hu agreed to help, the scene eased a lot, and it was full of laughter for a while.
However, Chen Siyu found that someone had been staring at him, and he followed his gaze to see that it was Pei Xiu, who had offended him before.
Pei Xiu's face was gloomy at this time, obviously he had just found Chen Siyu hiding in the corner.
He stood up suddenly, ignoring the eyes of others, and walked in front of Chen Siyu, "Hehe, what a coincidence, we met again." ”
Chen Siyu's face did not change, and he replied: "Well, we met again." ”
Seeing that Chen Siyu did not have the slightest fear of it, Pei Xiu smiled, smiling brightly, he didn't think that there was anyone who could protect him at this time, this was really sent to the door.
Wang Xing naturally saw this scene, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, now Chen Siyu couldn't escape, and after glancing at Pei Hu in the Jindan period, he chose to remain silent, although a large part of offending Pei Xiu was his own reason...
Pei Xiu stepped on Chen Siyu's stool and looked at him condescendingly, "Didn't you laugh at those two people?" He pointed to Wang Xing and Wang Yi, and said, "I want you to get under my crotch now." ”
"Kneel to the heavens and kneel to your parents, do you want me to kneel and get under your crotch? How old are you? Chen Siyu's voice was still flat at first, but in the end, his voice gradually became high, and he looked at Pei Xiu with disdain.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them at this time, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, but they thought in their hearts that this young man was going to be unlucky, and he dared to speak wildly in front of Pei Hu.
Sure enough, Pei Hu's face was ugly, he snorted coldly, and the teacup in his hand suddenly burst open.
"At a young age, my tone is quite big." Shake the teacup fragment in your hand.
The fragments flew straight towards Chen Siyu's neck like a sharp hidden weapon, obviously wanting his life.
Shout!
Jingling! To everyone's surprise, the fragments did not hit Chen Siyu, but bounced onto the wall on the side and embedded it.
Chen Luoqi was dressed in white, waving a fan, and said lightly: "What if you have a big tone?" It's up to you? ”
"Good, good! I didn't expect today's young people to be so ignorant of the sky, so let me teach you a lesson for your parents. Pei Hu didn't laugh angrily, stood up suddenly, and slapped Chen Luoqi in the air.
Pei Xiu saw that his father had already done it, and he was more confident in his heart, and he raised his hand to slap him, but he found that there was a chill coming from his neck, and he subconsciously glanced at it.
It turned out that just when he was attracted by Chen Luoqi's attention, Chen Siyu had already taken out the flying sword and put it against his throat, as long as he pushed it gently, he would die immediately.
"Hit? If this slap doesn't come down, it's tiring to hold it like this, right? Chen Siyu said with a smile.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I have a bad heart, in case there is a hand shaking or something, don't blame me for what happens to you." Chen Siyu looked at each other and said sincerely.
"Daddy!" Pei Xiu regretted it, she knew that she wouldn't go on it herself.
He felt the killing intent under Chen Siyu's smile, he believed that this stunned young man really dared to make a move on him, and he couldn't help but be afraid, and his legs couldn't help shaking.
Chen Luoqi flashed to the side, dodged the palm, heard Pei Xiu's shout, turned his head to look, and smiled dumbly.
Only then did everyone see such a dramatic side, the person who was looking for trouble was actually subdued first, so how should it end next?
Of course, Pei Hu also noticed that his son was in the hands of others, and he was very angry, his son was usually arrogant and domineering, and he lost the vigilance that a monk should have, and actually came to someone else's side defenselessly.
But no matter what, this is his own son, and he can only turn a blind eye at ordinary times, who would have thought that he would meet a stunned young man today, and he was stumped all of a sudden.
"What do you want?" Pei Hu asked patiently.
"I want him dead..."Pei Hu's pupils dilated, and his fists clenched.
"Die... Of course it's impossible, we don't have any deep hatred after all, but you just heard it, I said that I have a bad heart, such a big battle, I was scared, at least I have to pay some medical expenses. Chen Siyu said with a hippie smile.
"Okay, I promise you, you let my son go first." Pei Hu said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean by counting?"
"Nature."
Chen Siyu kicked Pei Xiu away and sat back on his stool.
Pei Xiu was relieved, quickly got up from the ground, and ran back to Pei Hu's side.
"It's over, this young man is still too young, can you believe Pei Hu's words? Who doesn't know that he is notoriously insidious. ”
"Otherwise, how can you call him a smiling tiger!" The monk of Quanlong City whispered.
Pei Hu protected Pei Xiu behind him, and said in a deep voice: "City Lord Nie, I suspect that these two people are the spies of demon beasts mixed with our human race, and I ask the city lord to allow me to make a move." ”
Nie Bu said secretly to the old fox, if he wants to stand up for his son, he actually wants to pull me into the water.
But he said with a smile on his face: "Oh? Brother Pei's cultivation is much higher than me, and since Brother Pei said so, I naturally believe it. ”
"Fabulous!" Pei Hu had a gloomy face, turned his head to look at Chen Siyu and the others, his right foot sank suddenly, and the whole person was like lightning, and he came to Chen Siyu's back, and the palm of his hand was a knife.
