Chapter 233: Twilight
Before the two of them walked to the city gate, the gate that had been closed was suddenly pushed open without warning, Xiao Qianye suddenly became vigilant, stopped with an awe-inspiring expression, and pulled Yun Xiao to carefully take a few steps to the side.
The tired travelers around were startled by the noise, and when they saw the city gate open, they all ran over to inquire about the situation, and the people who came out of the door waved their hands with difficulty, as if they were saying something loudly, but his voice was directly drowned out by the noise, and the soldiers stationed in the capital on both sides also hurriedly surrounded to help maintain order, and after a while, the travelers raised their faces with unconcealed joy, and ran back to their caravans to rummage through the passes issued by the major cities, and then returned to the city gate in an orderly manner, waiting in line.
"What is this for? Can you enter the city?" Yun Xiao looked at this scene in puzzlement, the originally chaotic crowd quickly became orderly, the city gate was completely opened, two long tables were placed horizontally on the left and right, and several people sat side by side to check the caravan's passes, and then reported to a young man in the rear, after getting his nod and permission, the caravan could enter Los Angeles smoothly.
Xiao Qianye pulled Yun Xiao into his arms the moment he saw the young man behind him, so that she would not be found with her back to the city gate.
"Do you know that person?" Yun Xiao struggled to twist her head from his chest, and her eyes lit up as she swept over the people behind the city gate, her eyes lit up, and she whispered, "It's Twilight!, why is he here?"
"Shhhhh......h ”
Yun Xiao nodded thoughtfully, she didn't stay in the imperial capital for a long time before, because Xiao Qianye happened to be not there, Emperor Tianzun sent the deputy general of the headquarters Du Yun over, so that she had any needs Although she mentioned it to him, although those days were very peaceful, plus the care of Mrs. Ming Qi, in fact, she didn't bother others, but she was really a very cultivated person, and she was polite every time she met, which made people feel a sense of gentleness like a spring breeze.
I never thought that the handsome son in the Imperial Capital City would be the young city lord who accompanied Duluo City!
"Ah Xiao, I have to gamble. Xiao Qianye couldn't help but secretly work hard in his hands, making a difficult decision, and said seriously, "Although you used a trick to cover up my appearance, he should know you, as long as he sees you, most of the people around him can guess that it is me, I must gamble, the Heavenly Expedition Bird will not come to Los Angeles for no reason, and they will not suddenly let the caravan go at such a time, I must take risks, and regard all this as an opportunity deliberately prepared for me." ”
"Qianye ......" Yun Xiao looked a thousand times more nervous than him, and her voice couldn't stop trembling, but Xiao Qianye touched her cheek, forced a smile to herself, and comforted, "It's okay, if the bet is wrong, I will also escape safely with you." ”
Yun Xiao swallowed the foam, took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and nodded vigorously.
The two held hands and waited with the caravan, until late at night before finally walking to the city gate, the official who had been sitting to check the pass seemed to be very tired, and he stretched out his hand directly without raising his head, and after waiting for a while, he found that the other party did not hand over the small book, so he raised his eyelids impatiently and urged: "Hurry up, there are so many people waiting behind!"
"I—we don't have a pass. Yun Xiao hurriedly took the words, the expression was pitiful, if it was a change of others, it would be pity, but the tired and drowsy official did not eat this at this time, opened her hand angrily, pointed to the side in disgust, and scolded, "What are you doing here without a pass?" The city lord said to let the caravan go first, and if you come to play, you will wait to go first. ”
"We're not here to play!" Yun Xiao was anxious, and hurriedly raised her tone to deliberately attract attention, the caravan behind her scolded and pushed, Xiao Qianye protected Yun Xiao with one hand, and the afterglow swept sharply over the twilight clouds further behind.
Attracted by the noise, Twilight Cloud had already gotten up and walked over here, and every time he took a step closer, Yun Xiao's heart went up again, and he squeezed Xiao Qianye's hand nervously, not daring to relax a bit.
"Young City Lord, look at this ......" The official saw him coming over, and his face, which was still bored before, was piled up with a professional smirk in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly got up to greet him, so he pointed to the two people in embarrassment, and explained, "These two people don't have passes, they are not caravan people, and they are not easy to release according to the regulations, do you say, Young City Lord?"
He shouted, but when he saw that the other party was unresponsive, he raised his eyes to look at his immediate superior.
Twilight looked at Yun Xiao dumbfounded, then turned her gaze mechanically to the person next to her, and he stood there for a few minutes, until the official next to him nudged him with his hand a few times in worry.
This was an unfamiliar face, not wearing the silver-black uniform he was familiar with, nor carrying the white sword spirit, but the black and gold long knife in his hand, revealing a shocking horror.
He shouldn't have known this person, but Dusk Yun knew in his heart that the person in front of him was the young pavilion master that the imperial capital had been looking for.
The day after the East Underworld Incident, the shocking news spread throughout the territory, and as the border with the East Hell, Luocheng also poured into a large number of evacuees, just one afternoon the entire Los Angeles was already overcrowded, my father had to temporarily close the city, restricting the remaining caravan travelers from continuing to enter, but the next evening, Tianzheng Bird brought back from the imperial capital Emperor Tianzun's handwritten order, requiring Los Angeles not to block the evacuees, must be given passage in time. Baiyue
As a last resort, my father spent a day settling the inhabitants of the city, and then reopened the gates tonight to issue passes to the caravans.
He was still wondering that this time the imperial capital had used the Heavenly Expedition Bird of the Military Pavilion to convey the order for the first time, but now that he thought about it, did he deliberately want to return the big bird to him if he had already come to Los Angeles as the main master of the Young Pavilion?
Twilight Cloud was puzzled, and was even taken aback by his own thoughts, the Young Pavilion Master was now the most dangerous person in Feiyuan, and there was no reason for Emperor Tianzun to return the equally dangerous Tianzheng Bird to him at such a time, right?
In just a few minutes, a thousand thoughts flashed through Twilight's mind, and the mixture of hesitation, embarrassment, and uneasiness gave him a headache.
After the disappearance of the young pavilion master, he was forcibly transferred back to Los Angeles by his father under an excuse, and Emperor Tianzun also took the opportunity to directly hand over the position of deputy general of the general pavilion headquarters to the newcomer Mu Xizhao, according to his current identity, Xiao Qianye is no longer the boss.
He always felt that everything that happened to Xiao Qianye was too sudden and bizarre, and he would be suspicious of the imperial capital's previous statements, but everything that happened in Dongming was in front of him, forcing him to believe it.
It is said that the city lord of Wanyou once found his traces, but because of the sudden abnormality of the planetarium in the city, he disappeared again, and the two deputy generals Gu Feng and Jiang Anyu in the Eastern Underworld were also sued by the city lord openly and secretly.
Do you want to report it to the imperial capital? Or ...... Bending the law for personal gain and secretly letting him into the city?
"Young City Lord?" The official shouted awkwardly on the side, not to let go, not to let go, after a few minutes of stalemate, the originally orderly team was also a little irritable, Twilight Cloud came back to his senses, so he had to hold back the doubts in his heart and walked to Yun Xiao's side, and cautiously glanced at the people around her, pretending to be enthusiastic and holding the two of them, and instantly had a smile on his face, and said happily, "Why are you here, hurry, hurry up and arrange an upper room, this is my friend." ”
Xiao Qianye felt that the hand he was holding on to himself couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes kept wandering away from him, the official was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, but his brain was spinning fast, and his ability to please was still first-class, so he immediately changed his face, made a gesture of invitation to Yun Xiao respectfully, and called two subordinates to come over and order: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly take the distinguished guest to rest, just take it, bring it to ......"
He thought hard for a while, and for a while he really couldn't remember where else there could be people living in the city right now, the atmosphere on the field was really a little embarrassing, and he hurriedly asked for help and looked at his young city lord, although Twilight Cloud was still calm and calm on his face, he also chuckled in his heart and didn't know what to do, with the current situation of the young pavilion master, if he was brought back to the house and discovered, then he would be guilty of private hiding, and it would affect the whole family!
"Twilight!" Yun Xiao also grabbed his hand and said, "There is no need to find a guest room, we just need to sit for a while and rest our feet." ”
Without waiting for the young city lord to reply, the official breathed a long sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to say: "Then go to Xiyue Tea House, it's close, although the guest room is gone, it's enough to make a box out for the two of you to rest." ”
Twilight nodded absentmindedly, pointing to the old queue behind her, and ordered, "You continue to stamp the caravan and let it go, and I'll be back in a while." ”
"Young city lord, you can do it yourself, just take care of yourself. The official flattered him back, and Twilight ignored him and led the two to the Xiyue Teahouse.
Long before the three of them arrived, the guys in the tea house didn't know where to get the news, they neatly vacated an empty room, even made hot tea, put on exquisite snacks, and thoughtfully moved two chairs over and laid out thick blankets.
Although Luocheng is a companion capital, it is also very close to the imperial capital Tianyu City, but unlike the strict hierarchy of the imperial capital, it is more like a mixed commercial capital, and it is particularly attentive to the sophistication of people.
He silently turned to look at the two of them, looking extremely nervous, bit his lip, took a deep breath, and blurted out: "Yes...... Young Pavilion Master?"
Xiao Qianye nodded, and the blinding trick on his face disappeared, revealing his true face.
Twilight looked at the familiar face in her eyes, and her mind was full of mixed feelings, and the more she wanted to say, the more she didn't know where to start.
