Chapter IV
When he woke up from a nap, it was already past the hour, Su Liang rubbed his eyes and sat up, stretched comfortably, and when he went downstairs dressed neatly, Ermao was already waiting in the lobby, and when he saw Su Liang coming downstairs, he greeted him.
"Is the girl resting?"
"Very good."
"Then do you think I'm leading you around Abyss City in a rough circle, or do you say something you're interested in and I'll take you around carefully?"
Su Liang thought for a while, "I heard that there are many ancient ruins in the city, let's go there first." ”
"Okay, listen to you."
Hearing this, Ermao had a clear expression, and took Su Liang out of the inn and walked towards the east of the city, introducing as he walked, "If you want to talk about the history of this Qianyuan City, it can be traced back to a thousand years ago, it was said that there was a huge fairy mountain, floating in the sky, and there were all kinds of immortals living on the mountain, our city was located at the bottom of the fairy mountain, but then the fairy mountain collapsed, and a lot of things fell from above, as far as the city wall you saw when you entered the city, it is said that it fell directly from the fairy mountain at that time, so high, the whole Cangnan country is also that piece, The walls of the royal city are not that big, and they are the largest ancient ruins. Saying that, the two walked on the side of the road, and Ermao pointed to Su Liang to a broken stone statue surrounded by a fence on the side of the road, half of his body was missing, and it looked like a beast but not a beast, but it gave people a sense of holiness, "There is also this kind of strange thing that has fallen, although it is also fallen from the Immortal Mountain, but no one knows what it is for, but after all, it is something from a thousand years ago, and the previous city lord still kept it. ”
"The last city lord?"
"Ah, don't you know? Fifty years ago, Qianyuan City was a poor and remote place, the place was very biased, and I don't know what the reason, crops could not grow in the field, and everyone's life was difficult, and then the city lord came, solved the problem of land, let crops grow in the field, and let everyone have a full meal, and also built houses, roads, and trees everywhere in the city, and surrounded the ancient ruins that were originally worthless, so that many outsiders came to play, saying that the culture of this city should not be buried like this, in short, Qianyuan City is so prosperous now, It's all the credit of the previous city lord. Ermao's face was full of pride, and it seemed that he really respected this former city lord.
"And then?"
"Later? Just fifteen years ago, the previous city lord suddenly fell ill and died of illness, but I don't know why, before the city lord died of illness, he suddenly married Mrs. Liu as his wife, and wrote to the royal court, and passed the position of the city lord to Mrs. Liu, and the current city lord is Mrs. Liu, but it is no wonder that the young city lord at that time was still young, and Mrs. Liu was a subordinate valued by the city lord before, and Mrs. Liu was very good, very capable, and took care of the young city lord, so everyone didn't think there was any problem. ”
Su Liang nodded thoughtfully, always feeling that something was not right.
"It's here!" Ermao stopped suddenly, pointed to the huge square in front of him, the shape of the square is very peculiar, a circle of low red walls about one meter high, smooth ground composed of unknown materials that can reflect the figure of people, twenty-four neatly arranged stout pillars are the same height as the wall, the lines on the pillars are exquisite and gorgeous, but at the top it seems to be cut off by life, the neatly arranged vendors in the square are full of strange items, and there are many tourists in it to observe and play, "This is the largest ancient ruins that have fallen in addition to the city wall, It is said that it is the main hall of the fairy mountain, it was flattened by the sword of the immortals, and it fell, and the previous city lord took someone to repair it for more than half a year, before it showed its current appearance, and the merchants inside sold it said that it was an antique found in the city, but there are true and false, whether you can find good things, you can only see how your vision is, our young city lord often walks around, maybe you can also meet. ”
Su Liang nodded, he was not interested in the stalls inside, at a glance, they were all dead things without aura, but the patterns on this pillar were somewhat interesting, Su Liang approached a pillar in the square, although it was very weak, but there was aura flowing along the lines, Su Liang carefully observed the pattern of the pattern, trying to match the remaining pattern with the one in his mind.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Someone next to him suddenly made a sound, interrupting Su Liang's thoughts, Su Liang turned around, it was a young man in his twenties, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and his appearance was quite good, but for some reason, he was shaking a folding fan in the winter, and a gust of cold wind blew towards Su Liang, although he didn't care much about the warmth and cold, but he was quite uncomfortable, but he still answered him, "Look at the lines on the pillar." ”
"Lines? What's so nice about this pattern. The man stared at Su Liang's eyes, "Why don't you look at me?" When Su Liang heard him say this, he gave up the pillar and looked at the man in front of him carefully.
Ermao's eyes widened next to him, and he pinched his thighs fiercely, and held back the exclamation that had jumped to his throat, and the villain in his heart was churning back and forth, oh my God, this is coming???!!! This is the first meeting of the male and female protagonists who are in deep sadomasochistic love as Mr. Storyteller said at first sight!! I couldn't imagine that the young city lord would look like this in the face of a woman, what a real thing this is...... What a ...... Ermao only blamed himself for learning less for a while, and he could only hold back the word powerful.
"Your heart structure is really rare and ingenious, but if you are not stable at all, you will die, but it is very stable, and it is not a problem to maintain it for decades, this is for you, and it will nourish and strengthen that heart." After carefully looking at the man in front of him, Su Liang waved his hand in admiration and took out a jade pendant-shaped object, handed it to him, and then continued to turn his head to look at the pillar.
Wang Shouyuan, who took the thing inexplicably, couldn't shake the fan in his hand, and felt a strange feeling from the thing in his hand reach his chest, and his face was a little complicated, "Where does the girl live now?" Why don't you move to the City Lord's Mansion? ”
"Why did you go to the City Lord's Mansion?" Su Liang finally gave up the pillar, the lines were destroyed a little too much, and there were traces of later repair, which was obviously wrong, and it did not match what he knew.
Wang Shouyuan put away the complexity on his face, returned to his graceful appearance, and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw the girl, I felt very kind, and the girl should be the same when she saw me, not to mention that the girl gave me such an important token." ”
"It's ...... No. ”
Su Liang suddenly felt that he was too unsophisticated, why did he always feel that this person was obviously smiling, but he felt very cold when he looked at his eyes? Su Liang, who didn't know much about it, decided not to pay attention to this person anymore, and he was not interested in looking at other pillars, so he walked out of the square quickly, and Ermao behind him saluted Wang Shouyuan very responsibly when he saw this, and chased after Su Liang.
"Go find out where she lives." Seeing Su Liang walk out of the square, the smile on Wang Shouyuan's face disappeared instantly, and he instructed his subordinates behind him, "It's so early, it seems that they really don't die." ”
"Yes." The subordinates behind him were ordered to leave immediately.
"How dare you appear so blatantly......" Wang Shouyuan frowned, rubbing the jade pendant that Su Liang had just given him in his hand, "This is a gesture of goodwill?" Still is...... Threat? "Anyway, once it appears, it's time to prepare for the follow-up.
Here, Su Liang walked out of the square and was relieved to see that the strange person didn't follow.
"Girl, why are you leaving? Do you want to talk more about different young city lords? Ermao, who came over, looked at Su Liang's appearance and scratched his head a little strangely, why doesn't the girl look like this.
"He's the young city lord, why does it feel a little weird? Forget it, go see the other ancient ruins. Su Liang turned his head and forgot about this episode and wanted to continue shopping.
Ermao didn't figure it out, but seeing the girl say this, in line with her dedication, she continued to take Su Liang to visit other ancient ruins in the city, I have to say that Ermao is indeed a good guide, along the way to the origin of various ancient ruins like a few treasures, Su Liang enjoyed an excellent play experience in the afternoon, other ancient ruins, or broken eaves and tiles, or strange stone statues, or unknown strange materials, all made Su Liang gain some knowledge.
When the last ray of sunlight quietly hid into the mountain, the lanterns on the street were also lit up, there was no fireworks in the daytime, and the hidden abyss city at night added a touch of intoxication under the flickering of candles, Ermao took Su Liang back to the outside of the inn.
"Girl, it's over today, if you think it's okay, next time you need to talk to the little second brother in the inn, run errands and lead the way or something, I'll do it."
"Okay." Su Liang nodded and paid the remaining ten spirit coins.
"Okay, that won't disturb your rest." After taking the spirit coin, Ermao happily saluted and turned to leave. Su Liang looked at the lights outside, feeling the different atmosphere from Qingyun Town, and felt that this world was not as unbearable as his father said, but it was almost incredibly warm, and sure enough, it was right to feel it himself, Su Liang maintained a good mood, hummed a song and went back to the room, and soon fell asleep.
At this time, in the study room in the city lord's mansion, Wang Shouyuan sneered and threw the report in his hand on the table, "It's really interesting, I chose the inn under Yun Qing's name." Looking at the subordinates below, "Xuanyi, you go and keep an eye on her for me, and report the situation at any time." ”
Xuanyi nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the study.
Thinking of the other party's almost stunning face and the age of only seventeen or eighteen, Wang Shouyuan couldn't help but sigh, and secretly scolded that the Chenggu faction was really a work.
Just as Wang Shouyuan was thinking, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and the aroma of food came into the room, only to see a woman in a white dress walking in with a food box, the woman looked like she was only in her twenties, but she opened her mouth with a woman's voice, "Yuan'er, I heard Xuan Wu say that you didn't eat dinner again, you are already weak, why don't you eat on time?" My mother cooked noodles for you, eat them while they are hot, official business can't be handled, come, eat first. ”
Seeing his mother coming, Wang Shouyuan hurriedly greeted him and took the food box, "Mother, didn't you say it, don't come out recently, the people from the Chenggu faction have already entered the city, and it's not safe." ”
"This is the city lord's mansion, I am the city lord appointed by the king himself, they must not do anything to me, but you, alas." The woman touched Wang Shouyuan's face sadly, "After all, I am the one who has caused your father and son." ”
Wang Shouyuan hurriedly shook his head, "Mother, what are you talking about, they are just a group of losers who can't see the light now!" Dad and you are right, if it weren't for my heart, I wouldn't have made them so arrogant! You can rest assured, my son has his own arrangements for this matter, and he will never let them be satisfied. ”
"Alas......" The woman sighed, but in the end she didn't say anything, just urged Wang Shouyuan to eat the noodles quickly.
