Chapter 136: Meeting an Old Man in a Foreign Country
Shen Lang touched the head of the black cat on his shoulder, and the black cat's pair of jewel-like eyes looked at the scribe surnamed Gu without emotion.
"My life is still quite valuable, why don't you change it again?"
"Worth the money?"
Several scribes looked at each other and laughed.
One of the scribes smiled: "How valuable is it, is it worth more than Shen Lang of Qingyun Mansion?" ”
Shen Lang was a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear his name in this situation.
"It should be about the same." Shen Lang nodded sincerely.
The scribe laughed, looked at the surnamed Gu and said, "Brother Yiqun, just because you are called Huazi, you can also compare with Shen Lang?" ”
Shen Lang said helplessly: "No way, if you want to say that others are not easy to say, but if you want to say Shen Lang, then I have to compare." ”
Gu Yiqun sneered: "It seems that I am also dissatisfied with Shen Lang, if it was in the past, I might have given you a good face, but today...... Hum! ”
He just said a word of indiscriminate killing of innocents, and was shouted and killed by a group of people, and at this moment he was in a very bad mood, which called Hanako hitting him, and he thought he was unlucky!
"How's it going today?"
As soon as his words fell, a voice rang out.
A few people turned their heads to look, and saw a young girl walking in.
The girl was stunned when she saw Shen Lang at first, and then her face was full of strangeness.
Seeing this person, Shen Lang's face was suddenly surprised.
This is none other than the personal maid and guard Ning'er beside Ying Ying.
"Who are you?" Gu Yiqun looked Ning Er up and down and said.
Ning Er's face was cold, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still asked coldly, "Who is Gu Yiqun?" ”
Gu Yiqun raised his eyebrows slightly: "I am, what advice do you have?" ”
Without saying a word, Ning Er took out a letter from her arms and threw it over: "Put it away, remember to be on time tonight." ”
Looking at Ning Er's attitude, Gu Yiqun was about to have a seizure, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the payment on the envelope.
Suddenly, he was covered in a cold sweat.
The scribes who followed him also saw the inscription on the envelope.
City Lord's Mansion, Building.
"It turned out to be a nobleman from the City Lord's Mansion, and he was rude." Several people bowed and saluted.
Ning Er nodded lightly, and her eyes fell on Shen Lang: "Why don't you come too?" ”
Shen Lang rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "There will be no trouble?" ”
Ning Er glared at him angrily: "What do you think, what trouble can there be?" ”
Shen Lang thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation, I'll go when I wake up." ”
Ning Er nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.
Looking at Ning Er's distant figure, Gu Yiqun and the others came back to their senses for a long time.
"It is worthy of being a person from the City Lord's Mansion, and she is such a beautiful and dignified maid!" Gu Yiqun exclaimed.
Shen Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes, this face became too fast, just now he looked like he was going to hit someone, but in the blink of an eye, he was beautiful and dignified.
Fortunately, Jing Ning'er made such a fuss, and these people didn't have the heart to trouble Shen Lang. Gu Yiqun also opened the letter with a smug face, and several people gathered together to look at it.
Shen Lang saw that a few people no longer paid attention to him, so he bypassed a few people and walked towards the door.
"Wait, who let you go?" Gu Yiqun suddenly said in a cold voice.
"What, you still want me to pay for my life?" Shen Lang asked.
Gu Yiqun snorted coldly: "Today, you have been touched by the light of our waiting, and you have been invited by the nobles of the City Lord's Mansion." But you'd better get acquainted, tonight the city lord's mansion is full of nobles, don't be embarrassed by your appearance. lest you make the nobles unhappy, and really kill your dog! ”
Shen Lang was so angry and funny, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, shook his head and left the tavern directly.
After walking around the city, I found a dilapidated house and walked in.
After the bloody battle of Stone Mountain Castle, a large number of houses in the city were empty.
How many are there?
Let's put it this way, all the beggars in the city live in it, and the houses are left.
The room was already in shambles, the valuables had long since been looted, and one of the beds was intact.
Shen Lang sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about tonight's banquet.
Judging by Ning Er's attitude, there should be no danger on the City Lord's side of Yinglou. And tonight in public, as long as he reports his name, even if Yinglou has any thoughts about him, he will never dare to do it.
It's just that I don't know if Ying Ying is there, if she sees her like this, I'm afraid she can make her laugh for several years.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the city of Shishan was brightly lit.
There is no prosperity of Qingyun Mansion City, but there is a unique iron-blooded and majestic scene. Just standing in the middle of the city, it seems that you can feel the vastness of this ancient city.
The city lord's mansion is ruoshi city, and most of the people who are invited to the banquet are city Chinese celebrities, and the worst ones are also well-known readers in the neighborhood.
If you just look at the scene, it's hard to think that just a few months ago, there was a bloody battle that killed tens of thousands of people in the city.
It was as if death like that was the norm, both for the living and for the dead.
Gu Yiqun stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and talked with his friends.
With one hand behind his back and a folding fan in the other, he looked reserved and restrained, with a bit of read-a-book reserve.
"What Brother Gu said is extremely true, although that person has merit in killing the enemy, he has a thirst for killing. What is the crime of those thousands of demon people, he actually killed them all, this is simply inhumane! ”
"The strange thing is that the demon clan walled city was originally used for sentry, and it is said that any two of them are less than ten miles apart, but why didn't one of them find that person's movements?"
"I heard that the man used the Wen Palace to block the walled city, and then destroyed the city with war poems."
"Such a brutal person is really a shame for me and other scholars!"
Gu Yiqun listened to the words of his friends, and he was really happy. He felt extremely angry when he thought that in the morning he had just questioned whether the man had killed innocents indiscriminately, and was shouted and killed by a group of mud-legged sticks.
A bunch of big-headed soldiers, know what a fart!
Or are we and other scholars who are sensible and can see through the essence of things at a glance.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a carriage coming slowly in the distance.
Gu Yiqun and the others suddenly looked solemn, and immediately clasped their fists and saluted after tidying up their clothes.
"I've seen Yao Dutong."
An old man in his fifties got down from the carriage, his hair was gray, and his body was a little fat, but there was an awe-inspiring aura between his eyebrows, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who had been baptized by war all year round.
Yao Dutong nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you go in?" ”
Gu Yiqun said with a smile: "Student Gu Yiqun has seen Yao Dutong, we are all juniors of Shishan City, and the people who came to the banquet tonight are all my seniors of Shishan City, so we should greet you outside the door." ”
Yao Dutong frowned slightly, nodded and didn't say anything more, and led a group of guards into the gate.
"Yao Dutong is extraordinary, and he should be strong when he is old!"
A scribe lamented.
Gu Yiqun bowed his head and said: "Yao Dutong is a general born and raised in my Shishan City, and he has fought more than a thousand battles, and the so-called experience of a hundred battles is nothing more than that, and the momentum is naturally comparable to those of us and other scholars." ”
As he was talking, he saw a group of cavalry slowly approaching in the distance.
Several people suddenly stopped talking, straightened their clothes again, and stood on the side of the road.
When Shen Lang woke up, it was already dark.
After an afternoon of sleep, his spirits improved a lot.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he didn't delay, and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
Going to the banquet is secondary, if you can meet a scholar above the seven grades of Confucianism and Taoism, you only need to borrow a wisp of righteousness from the other party, and you can open the Wen Palace. With just the slightest gap, his cultivation could be quickly restored.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Lang saw several greeters standing on both sides, talking to a middle-aged man.
But the strange thing is that most of the guests in other Gaomen mansions are women, and men are popular in this Shishan City?
"Huh......"
A different color flashed in Shen Lang's eyes.
When he saw these "welcomers" clearly, he was surprised to find that he had actually seen these people, who were the Gu Yiqun and his party who met in the tavern during the day.
And at this moment, Gu Yiqun also saw Shen Lang who was walking slowly.
His face suddenly darkened.
