Volume 2 The Rise of Great Xia Chapter 28: Gathering in Songlin City (2)
"Yes, uncle. City Lord Zhu stood up from the ground tremblingly, answered with a sad face, and asked unwillingly: "Do you really want to hand it all over?"
"Nonsense, in addition to tracking down the whereabouts of the immortal cultivator this time, Your Majesty also explained to let me investigate you thoroughly. The man in black scolded angrily: "Fortunately, I'm here, change to someone else to check, you have already fallen to the ground, hurry up and prepare the account books and property, it doesn't matter if you die, don't make trouble for me!"
City Lord Zhu had to bow his head and agree, and the man in black opened the door and walked out.
In the west of Songlin City, there is a luxurious mansion, and a stout man kicked open the door of the mansion surrounded by several sturdy and unseemly men, and directly broke in, confronting many family members with sticks in the mansion.
Those family members, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at some of the leading strong men who are magnificent, and then look at the door panel that is broken in two, they all secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva and dare not step forward, and a few clever people hurriedly ran to the backyard.
The strong man looked at these cowering family members, twisted his head very disdainfully, and just stood there straight, letting the family members enter or retreat.
"Who are you, if you have the courage to eat the ambitious leopard, you dare to break into the mansion of the deputy city lord?" A loud shout sounded, and the family members who were still a little afraid just now came to their senses in an instant, and their eyes gradually glowed with ruthless light.
"Fifth brother, do you say that you have become a thief with the closed door in broad daylight, or are you hiding from debts?" Who knew that the strong man yawned lazily and said something that surprised everyone: "Or did you steal someone's delicate little lady, afraid that other officials will come to the door?"
"Even if this is the case, could it be that my Yuan family is still afraid of others?" the strong man continued to ask with a little dissatisfaction.
"Uh. The person who came was surprised, and his tone changed from anger to a wry smile in an instant: "Big brother, why are you here?"
A man who was also stout and dressed in black deputy city lord clothes hurried out of the backyard, pulled away the family in front of him a few times, and stepped forward and hugged the strong man heavily.
"Big brother, you dare to say this kind of thing out loud about robbing someone's daughter-in-law, aren't you afraid that grandpa will break your legs?" Deputy City Lord Yuan took advantage of the hug and whispered to the strong man.
The strong man shuddered for no reason, took a few steps back, and suddenly thought that he was not at home now, and the terrifying old man was not beside him, so he became angry again and replied: "Fifth brother, do you think I will be afraid of that old man?"
The fifth brother of the strong man, that is, the deputy city lord Yuan Ce, snickered, and did not argue with him, but turned his head to the family members who were gathered on the side and shouted: "Open your eyes and show me carefully, this is the eldest brother of the city lord and the contemporary head of my Yuan family, Yuan Hong." ”
After waving his hand to let the family members retreat, Yuan Ce grabbed Yuan Hong's hand and asked anxiously, "Big brother, why are you here, what happened?" Yuan Ce knew that his eldest brother would not easily leave the clan Fire Flame City.
Yuan Hong laughed: "It's not a big deal, the old man noticed that there was an immortal cultivator's breath near here, so I was afraid that something would happen to Hidden Spring Town, so I asked someone to come here to check it out, and by the way, bring your nephew back." ”
"As soon as I thought about it, other people were not reliable, so it would be better for me to come and visit it myself. ”
"I think you're bored at home, so take the opportunity to come out and play. Yuan Ce smiled: "It's been so many years, what big things can be in Hidden Spring Town, as for Yuan Pi, it's strange that you can find it, and you will naturally go back when you are tired of playing." ”
Yuan Hong nodded heavily: "I really don't want to be the head of this Laoshizi family!" The old man has been managing me more and more tightly over the years, where are you a few free and happy, if you don't come out for a walk, I will suffocate to death." ”
Yuan Ce smiled bitterly: "Who is called big brother, you have the highest concentration of bloodlines among our brothers, and the easiest to awaken bloodlines." ”
"So, I'm going to personally arrest Yuan Pi's kid back, his blood concentration is higher than mine, as long as I bring him back, the old man won't bother me anymore. Yuan Ce said affirmatively: "In this way, I can find a few more delicate little ladies......" As he spoke, Yuan Ce actually let out an ambiguous laugh.
Yuan Ce was also extremely speechless for such a lazy eldest brother, lest the head of the family would continue to smirk and ruin the family's reputation here, so he hurriedly took Yuan Hong's hand and led him into the backyard.
Yuan Pi, who was following the Nine Demon Venerables towards Songlin City, suddenly sneezed heavily, and Nie Chen taunted softly: "Sick monkey!"
Yuan Pi stopped, touched his bald head strangely, and said to himself: "What's the matter, how can I catch a cold?
I really couldn't figure out the reason for this sneeze, Yuan Pi shook his head, and chased after the people in front of him to continue to catch up, he didn't know that Songlin City was in a big trouble waiting for him, well, big trouble.
To the north of Songlin City, a young general wearing chain mail, a bright silver helmet, and a spear on his back sat on a black high-headed horse and rushed towards the city gate.
"Huh? Isn't this the hinterland of Great Xia? Isn't Songlin City the city of merchants? How can there be such a regular military camp tent?" Not far from the city gate, a camp under construction appeared in the eyes of the young general, and at a glance at this camp distributed according to the strict military formation, the young general couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"Something is wrong!" the tall horse swept past the tent at a rapid pace, and the young general suddenly tightened the reins, and forcibly pulled the horse that was moving forward to his feet, and stopped with a neigh.
Turning the horse's head, the young general rushed towards the tent
"Who, why are you attacking us?" Several men dressed as servants suddenly rushed out of the tent, blocked the horses, and surrounded the young generals, the gleam in the eyes of these servants surprised the young generals.
The young general was just about to speak, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper suddenly rushed out of the tent, and a few slaps slapped at those servants, the middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper thundered the servants away, bowed to the young general, and said: "Little Wanfu is the big shopkeeper of this caravan, these bastards are not sensible, they dare to stop the general, and ask the general to forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's just that I saw that this tent was quite well-built, so I came and took a look. The young general smiled and said, "How do you know that I am a general?"
Wan Fu continued: "The little one had the opportunity to learn a little bit from a few military adults about the rank of people and the ability to set up camp, which was also used to prevent Xiaoxiao from being small, and he couldn't get into the eyes of the general. ”
"Oh, who is so bold and dares to spread the secret information among the generals?" The young general didn't understand his voice, and asked calmly: "Who is your master, call him out and let me ask." ”
Wanfu was speechless for a while, lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and replied with a smile: "My lord Shen Wanguan also has some friendship in the army, and he likes to make friends with young and brave generals like you, but the old man is a little tired when he first arrives here, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, and the small one also has a bit of status in the caravan. ”
"I wonder what your firm is selling here?" the young general glanced inside the camp.
"The general asked, the little one didn't dare to hide it, we didn't bring the goods this time, we came to Songlin City to collect medicinal materials, and we were going to transport them back to Kyoto to sell!" Wan Fu replied with a smile: "Our caravan originally had no semicolon in this city, and this is the first time to come, otherwise there is no need to camp here." ”
Saying that, Wan Fu beckoned back, and soon someone sent a bulging bag, Wan Fu turned the bag in his hand, and then threw it in the direction of the young general, made a gesture and said: "It's really because the master is too tired that it is inconvenient to meet guests, and I hope that General Haihan!"
Seeing the bag coming, the young general caught the bag steadily, drew his sword from the side of the seat, and gently cut the bag through a small opening, and a burst of golden light shone in the crack.
The young general smiled, he put the saber back into the scabbard, then put the bag on the saddle, nodded at Wanfu and said, "Since it is really inconvenient for your master to meet guests, then I will leave first, and come back to visit the next day!"
After speaking, without waiting for Wanfu to answer, the young general tightened the reins in his hand, turned around and walked towards the north gate of Songlin City.
Wan Fu stood at the door of the tent, watched the young general enter the city gate, and was just about to turn around, and saw several tall and mighty strong men riding black horses neatly passing in front of him, and went straight to the north gate of Songlin City, one of the strong men also turned his head to look at Wan Fu with interest.
Soon, several strong men also entered the city, and Wanfu hurriedly turned around and ran back to the camp, hurrying into a tent in the center of the camp that was not special.
The interior of this tent is not luxurious, just a simple table, a map of the surrounding area of Songlin City is placed on the table, a tall middle-aged man is standing behind the table, looking at the map intently, and two people are standing straight on both sides of the tent door, these two people are holding the scabbard with both hands and motionless.
As soon as Wan Fu entered the tent, he immediately gave the man a standard military salute, handed over the general, and then reported what had happened outside the camp.
"Oh, send someone to keep an eye on those people, and report the situation immediately!" The middle-aged man who was a few years later raised and stole it, and ordered with a glint in his eyes.
"Yes!" one of the two guards replied loudly, and ran out of the tent to make arrangements.
"Vice Admiral Wan, you can also come and see, this mission is a bit troublesome, if that immortal cultivator runs here, it will be difficult for me to capture him alive. The middle-aged man greeted Wan Fu and put his finger on the map a little heavier, only to see that his finger was right in the direction of the large area representing the wild forest.
"All the good ones brought this time are good!" Wan Fu took a few steps forward, walked to the side of the strip and looked at the map: "The biggest problem is that there are several other families who don't know where to hide, and a few secret agents sent by His Majesty! Our camp is already full of flaws, and it should have been noticed a long time ago." ”
"Now that the prince has explained, we have done it, no matter what to do, maybe those secret guards will fight first. The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said.
