Chapter Eighty-Three: The City Lord of Feiyang
Xiaohachi suddenly appeared, and Xiaoyuan screamed "ah" in fright. Hachi frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what are you thinking?" β
"Ahh It's nothing... If you jump out so suddenly, everyone will be shocked. β
"Oh, that's it, alright, let's go. Xiaoba also thought that his sudden appearance scared Xiaoyuan, so he didn't think much about it. Then he asked tentatively, "By the way, why did you come here, did you see any strange things?" But Xiao Yuan was shocked when he heard it, in his ears, Xiao Ba had to be his mother Qi Wei. Although he didn't know what Xiaoba knew, he couldn't tell Qi Wei first, so he said vaguely: "No... No, I don't. What's wrong?"
"Oh... No, I just think it's weird here, I always feel like there's something wrong, okay, I'll feel bad if I stay here for a while, now that I've found you, let's go. As he spoke, he picked up Xiaoyuan and walked out. Xiao Yuan didn't resist and walked out with Xiao Hachi, but along the way, he always took advantage of Xiao Hachi's inattention to secretly look back at the room.

Castle Lord's Mansion
Although the area of the City Lord's Mansion is not as large as that of the Sacrificial Temple, it also occupies a large area of land in the north of Feiyang City. The Lord's Mansion of Feiyang City was not as tall and solemn as other cities. It gives people a completely elegant feeling. The wooden huts, coupled with the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, undoubtedly do not show the close contact with nature here, and when people see this building, they can feel the detachment and freedom of Feiyang City hidden in the mountains, away from the chaos of the world. The most breathtaking thing is the vegetation in the huge courtyard of the Castle Lord's Mansion, which is still full of greenery even in the cold winter when the snow has fallen, and people can't help but sigh at the design of this mansion and the care of the florists.
But in such a quiet compound, there was a scolding sound like a broken chicken's throat. "City Lord, you have to be the master of the old woman and me, no one takes the sacrificial temple seriously now, and some people have already trespassed on the sacrificial temple without permission, this is blasphemy, and it will bring disaster to Feiyang City. Under the maintenance of many guards, the high priest was pointing at Yu Yu and shouting at the others. In front of him and Yu Yu sat a middle-aged man who looked about fifty years old, the man was slightly fat, with a small head on his head, and a small dimple always hanging on the right side of his face, looking very honest. And he is the lord of the city of Feiyang.
After hearing the high priest's question, the city lord immediately laughed and said: "High priest, you are angry, this is all a misunderstanding, Captain Yu Yu has been dutifully protecting the old and young in Feiyang City for so many years, the security of Feiyang City is so good now, Captain Yu Yu can be said to have contributed a lot, this time he trespassed into the sacrificial temple should just be in a hurry to explain to the high priest." It certainly wasn't meant to break in, and I can guarantee him. Saying that, the city lord turned to Yu Yu again and said: "Captain Yu Yu, no matter what your reason is, but it is not right to trespass into the sacrificial temple after all, you can't do this next time, apologize to the high priest, this matter is over." After saying that, he laughed twice.
Yu Yu knew that this was the city lord doing peace, so he not only helped himself clear his name, but also gave the high priest a step down. After so many years in the officialdom, Yu Yu was not stunned, so he turned around and bowed to the high priest and said: "Because I didn't have time to explain to the high priest, I was offended just now, I'm really sorry, and I apologize to you here." β
Seeing Yu Yu so good, the city lord immediately laughed and said: "That's it, one of you is the high priest of Feiyang City, and the other is the captain of the escort team, wouldn't it be good if there is anything clear in the future, haha, okay, the high priest is in retreat all year round, it is rare to come out once, I asked the people to prepare a rich meal, let's dine together in a while, Captain Yu Yu is also here, haha, haha." β
Yu Yu nodded and said, "Yes!" But at this time, the high priest spoke in a strange manner: "Don't be busy with dinner first, my wife didn't come out to eat, since Captain Yu Yu has a reason, let's talk about the reason, and let my wife know that the captain of the dignified guard team who knows what things will be anxious must arrest the old woman in front of the city lord to solve it." By the way, I also asked Captain Yu Yu to explain, why not only did he go in by himself, but also entered the sacrificial temple with a stranger, Captain Yu Yu would not know that the sacrificial temple was forbidden to enter casually, let alone a stranger. β
In the face of the high priest's aggressive questioning, the city lord who had always kept smiling couldn't help frowning, he had already come forward to be a peacemaker, the high priest was still like this, isn't this a clear slap in the face, but he didn't have any way, who let the other party be the high priest, although he manages the affairs of Feiyang City, but if you want to talk about status, I'm afraid the high priest will still be half a head higher than him, so at this time he has no choice, so he has no choice but to squeeze his eyes at Yu Yu, and signal him to follow the high priest to deal with a few words, don't make things bigger.
"......" Yu Yu saw the hint of the city lord, and pondered for a moment before saying: "This time it was my fault, please punish the city lord, the cause is that my nephew Xiaoyuan accidentally entered the sacrificial temple by mistake, and I hurriedly went in to find him." So it's my responsibility. β
"Oh, the child is naughty, he accidentally walked in, what a big deal, find your nephew and take him back to be disciplined, just don't make trouble for the high priest. The city lord immediately made a round. But immediately after the high priest's voice, which made the city lord want to stretch out his hand and strangle her, came out again. "Hehe, is that so? Could it be that the city lord, you gave a new order when my wife and I were in retreat? The sacrificial temple has become a tourist attraction? Why didn't I know that the sacrificial temple could be casually entered? A fourteen or fifteen-year-old little hairy child can walk in casually, is it possible that the guards you arranged to guard the sacrificial temple are all pigs?"
At the mention of the guards guarding the guard, Yu Yu's anger was suddenly ignited, and he said sharply: "Just because someone entered by mistake, are you going to kill them?" For so many years, no matter the wind or rain, they have been on duty in the sacrificial temple, and they have no merit and hard work. You killed them just because of such a thing, and they also have elders, wives and children!"
"Tsk, Captain Yu Yu, you must have heard that there are no rules. If I sacrifice to the temple as I want to enter and go out as I want, there will be a few people who will be convinced in the future. Besides, I can let a teenager in, but I think they have lived too comfortably for so many years, and I'm just killing chickens and monkeys. What's the use of living for these wastes that can't even be seen by a teenage hairy child. β
"How are you...!" Yu Yu was just about to speak, when a shout came from the side that interrupted Yu Yu's words.
"I let Xiaoyuan in, it's me who is wrong, High Priest, you can punish me however you want, but the big heads have just gone to take over, they don't know anything, they are innocent!" It was the guard who was called Uncle Zhang by Xiaoyuan who was guarding the sacrificial temple who spoke.
"Shut up!" The chubby city lord shouted immediately after Uncle Zhang finished speaking, but the high priest still took over the conversation: "Oh? Is it you? Then it seems that I am wrong to blame them, since it is you, then you can go and apologize to them, and by the way, help me to say that the old woman is old and accidentally punished the wrong person." As soon as the words fell, a huge fireball condensed from above the high priest's crutch and headed straight for Uncle Zhang. Seeing the fireball flying, Uncle Zhang had just stepped into the third-order king level after all, so he didn't know how to react at all, so he had to watch the fireball fly towards him, and just when the fireball was about to hit him, the fireball exploded, and Yu Yu appeared in front of Uncle Zhang. At this time, Yu Yu said coldly: "High Priest, you are enough, since you have already punished others, don't hurt people more, his current mood is already the biggest punishment for him." β
The high priest glanced at Yu Yu, snorted coldly and said to the city lord: "Lord city lord, you have seen it, our captain of the escort team has completely stopped taking the old woman and me seriously. Even if I go to punish one of the guards, he will stop him. It seems that Feiyang City really doesn't need me as an old woman. With that, he turned and walked out.
The city lord hurriedly called the high priest: "High priest, look at what you said, you are the most noble high priest in Feiyang City, Captain Yu Yu is just in a hurry, don't blame him, I will punish him well." As he spoke, he glared at Yu Yu fiercely.
The high priest then stopped, turned around and said, "Okay, then I'll see how you punish him." β
"Thisβ" The lord hesitated, and asked the high priest, "What do you think? β
The high priest said flatly: "Let me say, Okay, Captain Yu Yu trespassed into the sacrificial temple, but Nian has made a lot of contributions to Feiyang City for many years, and the merits and demerits are worth it, and the punishment for three months is already a warning." β
Hearing that the high priest only made such a simple request, Yu Yu and the city lord didn't expect this to be the case at all, especially the city lord, who was ready to persuade the high priest to lower the punishment a little, but he didn't expect it to be like this, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and sang the praises of the high priest's magnanimity with good words that didn't want money. Even the guards on the side were a little embarrassed by what the city lord said.
But just as soon as the city lord finished speaking, the high priest spoke again: "As for Captain Yu Yu's nephew and the young man that Captain Yu Yu brought into the sacrificial temple, they are all arrested and handed over to me for disposal!"
Hearing the high priest say this, Yu Yu's whole body trembled, and he yelled at the high priest, "No!
