Chapter 419: Sunlan City
Hearing Mao Zhi say that someone could find Yi Tian's whereabouts, Zhou Tianlong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know who Lu Dao is, there are so many people under him?"
"Haha!" Mao Zhi said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you will naturally know the Tao when the time comes! The most important thing at the moment is to go back to my Jinhua Villa first, let me take care of my injuries!"
"That's it!" Hua Rong also hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, the most important thing at the moment is to go back to Jinhua Villa first, so that Brother Mao can recuperate!"
"Well, what the eldest brother said is true!" Zhou Tianlong nodded, then glared at Hua Rong fiercely, and said secretly in his heart: "Who is this little girl?
However, Zhou Tianlong also understood what Hua Rong was thinking, just now when he said the four words "Jinhua Villa", Zhou Tianlong found that Hua Rong's eyes were emitting two rays of light.
"Hahaha!" Mao Zhi smiled and patted Hua Rong's little head: "Xiao Rong, after you arrive at the villa, Brother Mao will give you a lot of delicious food!"
Hua Rong's eyes widened, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he looked at Mao Zhi with a grateful face, shouting excitedly.
"Brother Xian, Brother Zheng, please!" Mao Zhi stretched out his hand and led Zhou Tianlong and a few people towards the direction of Jinhua Villa.
Of course, Mao Zhi was seriously injured, so Tian Zhen and others hired a carriage for him, Mao Zhi and Hua Rong sat in the carriage, and the rest rode away.
Along the way, Mao Zhi kept introducing various delicacies to Hua Rong, and Hua Rong's heart had already flown to Jinhua Villa, and his clothes were soaked with saliva.
After arriving at Jinhua Villa, Mao Zhi settled Zhou Tianlong and the three of them, and returned to the room to recuperate from his injuries.
In the following days, Hua Rong still followed the people of Jinhua Villa around every day, and in the evening, Mao Zhi set up a grand banquet to warmly entertain the three of them.
Hua Rong has no heart and lungs, and she is very happy every day, but Zheng Fei is anxious, and she is anxious about the whereabouts of Yi Tian every day, but what makes Zheng Fei strange is that Zhou Tianlong doesn't seem to be very worried, he should eat and drink every day, and he will sleep when he is full of food and drink.
Zheng Fei didn't understand why Zhou Tianlong was like this, and asked Zhou Tianlong several times, but Zhou Tianlong just told him that he believed that Mao Zhi would definitely have a way to find Yi Tian's whereabouts. Zheng Fei did not agree to put all his hopes on Mao Zhi's body, and suggested that the two of them go out again to find out the news of Yi Tian, but Zhou Tianlong insisted on refusing, Zheng Fei persuaded him several times, but Zhou Tianlong politely refused, Zheng Fei had no choice but to spend every day in Jinhua Villa, living like a year, very painful.
In this way, another month passed, Mao Zhi still did not have any news of Yi Tian, Zheng Fei was only anxious like an ant on a hot pot, restless, while Zhou Tianlong and Hua Rong ate and slept every day and didn't worry about anything. Zheng Fei can understand Huarong like this, but Zheng Fei can't figure out why Zhou Tianlong will become like this, and once suspected that Zhou Tianlong was confused by the brocade clothes and jade food here, and he had already forgotten Liu Yuchen.
It's just that during this period of time, Zhou Tianlong's cultivation has been improved, and he has entered the realm of the Seven Heavens of the True Martial Realm, which can be regarded as no time wasted.
On this day, Mao Zhi came to Zhou Tianlong and the others, saying that his injuries were almost healed, and now he was going to take them to visit a friend, hoping to use the strength of this friend to find out Yi Tian's whereabouts.
Zheng Fei was overjoyed, he stayed in Jinhua Villa like a numb, and hurriedly agreed to go with Mao Zhi; Zhou Tianlong saw that Zheng Fei had agreed, so he agreed to go together, and Hua Rong originally wanted to stay in Jinhua Villa to continue to enjoy a life of eating and playing, but she saw that Zheng Fei and Zhou Tianlong were gone, and she didn't want to stay here alone, so there was some contradiction in her heart for a while.
"Xiao Rong, don't worry!" Mao Zhi saw Hua Rong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "My friend's place, the conditions are not worse than my Jinhua Villa, after you go, you can still enjoy the days of eating and playing every day!"
"Really!" Hua Rong was overjoyed, running around the house excitedly, as long as there was food and play, she didn't care so much about other things at all.
At the moment, Mao Zhi led Zhou Tianlong and the three of them to set off, Mao Zhi, Zheng Fei, Zhou Tianlong, and Tian Zhen rode horses, and Mao Zhi specially arranged an eight-lift sedan chair to let Hua Rong sit in the eight-lift sedan chair.
Hua Rong has grown so big, she has never made a sedan chair, she smiled so much that she couldn't even close her mouth, and she was very grateful to Mao Zhi in her heart.
A few days later, Mao Zhi and his entourage came to a city, and Zhou Tianlong found that the name of the city was "Sanglan City". For this Sanglan City, Zhou Tianlong had also heard of it, it was also an important city in the southeast of the Tianyu Empire, although it was not as prosperous as Ningfu City, but it was not much worse.
When he walked to the gate of the city, Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, because along the way, Zhou Tianlong found that the cities along the way were basically occupied by the Huiri Empire, but this city was different, the soldiers and generals guarding at the city gate were all from the Tianyu Empire.
"Why did the people of the Huiri Empire occupy all the nearby cities, but only this Sanglan City?" Zhou Tianlong was a little puzzled.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, Tian Zhence immediately stepped forward and said a few words to the soldiers and generals guarding the city, and all of them came to Mao Zhi's horse and bowed, all of them with flattery on their faces.
Mao Zhi ignored them and led Zhou Tianlong and others into Sunlan City.
After entering the city, Zhou Tianlong found that the situation in Sanglan City was basically the same as that of Ningfu City, and the streets were also deserted, and there were very few people walking on the road.
"This Sanglan City is obviously not occupied by the Huiri Empire, why is it so deserted?" Faintly, Zhou Tianlong felt that this Sanglan City was a little strange, it was different from the city occupied by the Huiri Empire, and it was not the same as the city of the Tianyu Empire.
The group walked through the streets and alleys until they came to the City Lord's Mansion in Sunland City. After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Tianlong was even more strange, he found that the door of the City Lord's Mansion was already full of people, there were dozens of people, men and women, old and young, but all of them were full of respect.
Seeing Mao Zhi and the others coming here, these people all knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Looking at the crowd of people who were kneeling down in front of them, not only Zhou Tianlong, but also Zheng Fei, and even the flowers in the sedan chair were all surprised, they knew that the reason why these people did this must be because of Mao Zhi's relationship.
Just when Zhou Tianlong and the others were surprised, they saw a person wearing the official uniform of the Tianyu Dynasty come to Mao Zhi, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Cheng, the city lord of Sanglan City, see ......"
However, before the city lord Zhao Cheng's words were finished, Mao Zhi suddenly coughed violently, Zhao Cheng was slightly stunned, paused, and hurriedly continued: "See the fifth prince!"
Zhou Tianlong's brows furrowed slightly, he knew that Mao Zhi was deliberately coughing just now, just to remind Zhao Cheng not to tell his identity.
"Fifth Prince?" Zhou Tianlong was puzzled in his heart: "What does this Fifth Prince-in-law mean? Who is Mao Zhi? Even the lord of a city has to bow down to him?"
"Could it be that he is really the son of a high-ranking official in the Tianyu Dynasty? But the high-level of the Tianyu Dynasty, even if I don't know him, at least I should have heard of His Majesty the Rain Emperor, but I have never heard of a high-ranking official surnamed Mao! If he is not the son of a high-ranking official of the Tianyu Dynasty, with the dignified city lord of Sanglan City, why would Lu be so respectful to him?" Zhou Tianlong had too many doubts in his heart, and he really couldn't guess Mao Zhi's identity.
"Could it be that he is ......" Suddenly, a strange thought surged into Zhou Tianlong's heart, making him shiver all over, but before he could think about it, he was suddenly interrupted by Mao Zhi's voice:
"City Lord Zhao, please get up!" Mao Zhi said.
The city lord Zhao Cheng stood up slowly, but he lowered his head tightly, and he didn't even dare to look at Mao Zhi.
Mao Zhi glanced back at Zhou Tianlong and Zheng Fei, and then nodded slightly at Tian Zhen, Tian Zhen understood, and said to Zhao Cheng: "City Lord Zhao, the fifth prince came this time to ask City Lord Zhao for a favor!"
That Zhao Cheng actually knelt on the ground again, and shouted loudly: "If the fifth prince is useful to the villain, please just open your mouth, even if the villain is broken, he will serve the fifth prince for the dog and horse!
Zhou Tianlong couldn't help but purse his lips and looked at the city lord of Sanglan City carefully. I saw that he was in his forties, his figure was a little thin, his appearance was fair, his temperament was elegant, his three locks of long hair hung down on his chest, and he was wearing a purple official robe, which was embroidered with patterns of rivers and mountains and seawater.
"This city lord seems to have been an official for many years, and this flattering ability is extremely good!" Zhou Tianlong shook his head slightly, the words that Zhao Cheng said to Mao Zhi just now made him feel a little disgusted.
Mao Zhi said slowly: "Actually, it's not a difficult matter, I just want you to use the soldiers of Sunlan City to help find someone!"
As he spoke, Mao Zhi pointed at Zhou Tianlong and said to Zhao Cheng: "This is Zhou Shaoxia of the Tianyu Sect, his sworn brother, and he has saved my life twice!
As he spoke, Mao Zhi simply told Zhao Cheng about Yi Tian's troubles in Tianyu Peak and the abduction of Tianyu Sect's disciples.
Zhao Cheng nodded vigorously: "Fifth Prince, please rest assured, even if I use the soldiers and generals of the whole city, I must find out the whereabouts of the Hellfire Sect!"
Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the method Mao Zhi said would be like this. At that moment, Zhou Tianlong stepped forward and said to Zhao Cheng: "City Lord Zhao's kindness is understood. It's just that I don't understand, if the Zhao City Lord sends all the soldiers in the city to help me find out the whereabouts of the Pyropy Sect, what if something happens to Sanglan City? What should I do if the Huiri Empire leads troops to attack Sanglan City?"
After saying this, Zhou Tianlong glanced at Mao Zhi and then at Zhao Cheng, only to see that the faces of both of them changed slightly.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, Mao Zhi's identity is really like that!" Zhou Tianlong nodded slightly, and his face became extremely ugly in an instant.
