Chapter 81: The Lord of Xihe City
Rong Shiruo came back to his senses in a trance, and looked at her with a burning gaze like a thiefβLing Jun had no doubt that if she hadn't seemed too easy to deal with, this seemingly shy guy would have wanted to take her home and tell him stories all the time.
"Ximing, you are really well-informed!" Rong Shiruo sighed, "What else? You just talked about the empress becoming emperor, what happened after she became emperor?"
Ling Jun smiled slightly: "Behind...... I'm not in Chang'an anymore, I don't know. β
Rong Shiruo: "......"
"Ximing, you must be joking, right? You must know what happened next, right?" he was reluctant to accept reality.
Ling Jun sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry, I really don't know, let Shi Ruo be disappointed." β
Rong Shiruo, who realized the power of the broken chapter, was in a complicated mood, he wanted to hit someone a little, but he still endured it with a good temper, and only said, "Okay." β
The fiery atmosphere cooled down, Rong Shiruo hastily ate a few chopsticks, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly to the Datang food mentioned in the story, and he suddenly lost his mood.
Ling Jun's expression moved slightly, and he lowered his head and took another sip of tea.
After a while, there was a commotion outside the restaurant, and then a city guard commander broke in with someone, strode in front of Rong Shiruo, and knelt on one knee: "I have seen the son of the lowly position, please return to the house with the lowly position, the old lady has been worried for a long time." β
The smile on Rong Shiruo's face subsided, and he sat a little cramped and uneasy, and only stood up after a while, and said in a low voice: "I know, let's go." β
After speaking, he looked at Lingjun, "Brother Ximing, thank you for your story, there is something at home today, I will take a step first, and I hope Brother Ximing will not be surprised." β
Ling Jun smiled on his lips, "It's okay, the things at home are important, if you go back quickly, don't let the old man wait for a long time." β
Rong Shiruo smiled reluctantly, and left with the commander of the city guards.
Lingjun didn't like to use Terran food, and after Rong Shiruo left, she quickly left and found an inn to live in.
"It's kind of funny. β
When talking to Rong Shiruo about the Tang Dynasty, Ling Jun's divine sense has been closely monitoring the movements of the city guards, and before she suddenly broke off, the city guards did not set foot on the street where the restaurant was located for half a step;
If this is just a coincidence, Lingjun does not believe it.
But Rong Shiruo should not have cultivated except for being in better health, and she had never found any surveillance methods similar to the Divine Soul Mark on him, why did the city guards come in such a timely manner?
Ling Jun could only put his suspicion on the City Lord's Mansion.
It's just that today's events have made her almost certain that this Xihe City is by no means as ordinary and ordinary as it seems on the surface, and there may be hidden monk power behind it.
In this way, she can not act rashly.
Ling Jun thought silently all night, and went out early the next morning, still going to the street where the conscience bun shop.
After waiting for a moment at the entrance of the alley yesterday, a familiar figure appeared again at the entrance of the alley opposite.
It's just that Rong Shiruo waved to her when she was queuing up to buy buns today, signaling her to line up together.
Ling Jun coldly rejected the offer, and she still stood on the side, until Rong Shiruo finally bought the buns, and then walked over slowly.
Rong Shiruo took a bite of the bun and handed the other one to Ling Jun at the same time, "This bun is really delicious!"
"I've had breakfast, you can eat it. "Lingjun still doesn't eat mortal buns.
Rong Shiruo regretted and secretly took back the bun, as if he was afraid that she would regret it, so he took a bite as soon as possible.
Ling Jun pretended not to notice his careful thoughts, and waited until he finished eating before asking, "After returning to the mansion yesterday, the old lady of your mansion didn't punish you, right?"
Rong Shiruo's figure paused slightly, and after a while, he laughed, "How can you punish me, she loves me the most!"
"You escaped secretly yesterday, right?" a smile appeared on Ling Jun's lips, "I escaped from the house yesterday, I was arrested, and I escaped again today, the guards in your house ......"
"Okay, okay, don't say these uninteresting words!" Rong Shiruo hurriedly interrupted her divergent thinking, "Ximing, you said that you have been to many places, but yesterday you only talked about the Tang Dynasty - you haven't finished talking about it yet, is there anything else you can talk about today?"
"Of course, there is, but I'll talk about it here?"
Rong Shiruo hurriedly dragged her to a teahouse on this street - I don't know why, except for the steamed bun shop, the business of other shops on this street is very poor, but there are a lot of restaurants, teahouses, silk shops, rouge gouache shops, etc., which really can't do business.
The teahouse was empty, and after the two sat down and ordered a pot of tea, Lingjun began to tell the story again, this time about a country called the Great Song Dynasty.
Rong Shiruo was soon attracted by the bustling scene of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, and couldn't help but start to fantasize that if he lived there, he would be able to taste a lot of ice products every summer, which was much better than Xihe City.
He has a strong imagination ability, but his learning ability is obviously average, and he has not learned a lesson from yesterday's events, and when Lingjun stopped drinking tea again, he hurriedly asked, "What about the outcome of the case of the tanuki replacing the prince?"
Ling Jun showed a familiar smile, "Ah, at that time, I was in a hurry to go to Datang, and I left with the caravan, so I didn't pay attention to it, anyway, it was all a royal matter, and it had nothing to do with people like me." β
Rong Shiruo: "......"
No matter how simple he was, he encountered two serial interruptions in a row, and at this time he came back to his senses, and couldn't help but stare at her with those bright eyes sadly, as if to let her understand how much of a sin she had committed.
But Lingjun was thick-skinned and had good acting skills, so he calmly and calmly met this test - in the end, Rong Shiruo looked away first.
"Ximing, you're a bit excessive. He sulked.
"Life is like that, you don't necessarily see the end of everything. Ling Jun thought he had said something quite philosophical.
Soon after, another commander of the city guards appeared in the teahouse and brought back Rong Shiruo, who had left the mansion without permission.
After these two temptations, Ling Jun confirmed that Rong Shiruo was unusual, and telling him a story should not have any effect, so she planned to go to the City Lord's Mansion tonight to find out what demons and monsters were hidden inside.
As the night deepened, Lingjun was fully prepared and quietly infiltrated the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion without attracting any attention.
She walked around the city lord's mansion and didn't find any monks, but she saw Rong Shiruo.
What's even more strange is that there is no master in the city lord's mansion except for him and an old lady, and the city lord of Xihe City of this generation is a man - that is to say, Rong Shiruo, who is silly and sweet and easily shy, is actually the city lord of Xihe City!
What a magical reality this is!
