Walking into the city lord's mansion, Zhuge Chen glanced at the housekeeper at the door, and when he was thinking about whether it was the father of those ruffians, he didn't expect the other party to come forward and greet him with a smile: "Childe, the young master hasn't woken up yet, but the master has instructed me to invite you to the backyard." ”

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly, followed behind the housekeeper, passed through the garden, and just came to the backyard, he found that several people were tied to a big tree, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't get out.

Before Zhuge Chen could ask, the housekeeper took the lead and said: "These people are the fathers of those bastard ruffians, the master was very angry when he learned about this, and when he returned home, he ordered our subordinates to tie them to a tree, and then punish them after they have cultivated." Childe, you don't know that most of the family style that the master has painstakingly managed over the years and praised by the people in the city has been destroyed in their hands. As a subordinate, it's just that you don't remember the etiquette, but you still feel that you are superior. We'll see how the master settles this account with them. ”

Because Gangyang City is different from the surrounding cities, although the city lord is not walking on thin ice, he will be careful in everything he does. If the Yunmeng royal family catches the handle, it will end up at the point of being manipulated by others. Unlike Dayan, the Lord of Yunmeng City was directly appointed by the royal family, and he was subject to a lot of restrictions. This is also why the city lord is indeed lenient and strict with himself, so that Degangyang City can develop to the point where it is today. Therefore, when he learned that the son of the housekeeper in the house was doing misdeeds, he was naturally quite angry. If it is an ordinary time, if a person makes a mistake, he will usually be brushed aside. As for the punishment, it is also insignificant. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and it's not unforgivable, at least in this matter, the city lord is quite reasonable.

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly, then walked into the backyard house, put the piece of treasure jade on the table, and then picked up the teacup, he glanced at the big tree that could be seen at a glance outside, walked over again, stood in front of the housekeepers, and said straight to the point: "You guys, have you ever known about the bastard things your son did?"

Several people shook their heads, even if they knew, they would never admit it.

Zhuge Chen was not verbose, and when he raised his hand, a sword qi pierced through no one's wrist, and then said in a cold voice: "I don't have much patience, I advise you to tell the truth." Otherwise, my hands tremble in annoyance, and I will send you directly to the West Heaven to see the Buddha. No, people like you who do nothing wrong would be more appropriate to say that they go to hell. ”

Several people begged for mercy again and again, and the son's name was closer than when he called his father. This appearance is really a natural play, and it will definitely arouse applause in the theater. It's just that Zhuge Chen has already seen their true thoughts through the other party's state of mind. Therefore, another cyan sword qi passed by, and one of them landed on the ground. Even the wound on the neck did not ooze blood. This seemingly painless execution is actually a mystery. At the time of that person's death, Zhuge Chen's flying sword had already used passed through the mysteries. The sharp pain that should have only happened for a moment was stretched by him, and it can be called a second like a year.

Listening to the screams beside them, the few people who were still alive were really scared to the depths of their bones, so they had to nod and admit their sins. And the housekeeper who stood beside Zhuge Chen from beginning to end was also furious, pointing at the noses of those people and scolding, scolding until his throat was dumb, he grabbed the whip and put it in his hand, and waved it with all his strength to whip these people.

And Zhuge Chen returned to the house, waiting for the city lord.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, when Zhuge Chen was tasting the delicacies sent by the maid, he only heard a squeak, the door was opened from the outside, and the city lord walked in and sat opposite Zhuge Chen.

"Hello city lord. Zhuge Chen said respectfully: "The things of the day, I really can't help it, you ...... Are you okay now?"

"It's not a big deal. The city lord waved his hand and said, "After all, at that time, I and the woman with the short dagger were only responsible for containing you, and it was my son who really faced you. I've had his injuries seen and while they're not serious, they'll take a few days to recover. ”

Zhuge Chen just wanted to apologize, but he heard the city lord smile, and then said: "I don't blame you for the unexpected things." If you really want to go back to the source, it's because of my poor discipline that I can let you bump into those bastard sons of housekeepers. Also, since my son has already called you a confidant, what kind of city lord are you calling such a child?"

"Uncle. Zhuge Chen poured a glass of wine for the city lord, and then sent the piece of jade to the other party: "I have long heard Qianqiu say that my uncle has a soft spot for jade. It happened that when the junior walked into the auction house to choose a sword for the woman with a short dagger, he happened to see it, so he bought it together. It's not worth a few dollars, you can take it!"

In fact, this treasure jade is still not cheap. Ordinary rich families are bankrupt, and they can only barely buy a piece, provided that they don't meet a cultivator like Zhuge Chen, who is rich and doesn't care about money at all. Of course, for the city lord, this treasure jade is cherished, but it is not to the point where he can't accept it. Therefore, the city lord put Baoyu under his command and said with a smile: "You kid, you will come here, what else do you buy." This time, I'll accept it as an uncle, but if you don't make an example, if you still see it like this, I'll be angry. is so young, the realm is high, and the key is to know so much about the world, it's really rare, it seems that Qianqiu didn't see the wrong person this time. ”

The current city lord is more pleasing to the eye the more he looks at Zhuge Chen, he took a sip of wine and tasted it carefully. Odd book e-book

And Zhuge Chen suddenly said: "Uncle, I don't know if you know Wan Yan Qingqian?"

"Lord Yunmeng, how can I not know him?" The city lord said: "What, you have offended him? That should be that he is afraid of you, there is no reason for you to avoid him? Could it be that the drunkard does not mean to drink, but covets my Gangyang City? This is even more strange, a few months ago, I went to the imperial capital, and I have never heard of similar rumors. It must be that during this period of time, the emperor suspects that I have the intention of rebellion, right?"

Being able to sit in the position of the city lord of Gangyang City for so long, the city lord is certainly not an idler. Scheming is not to say that it can be all-encompassing, but it is always able to think of things that others have not thought of. In fact, this is not simple, one step ahead of others, one step ahead of others, one step ahead of others.

Zhuge Chen told the city lord the cause and effect of the incident, and then said: "I was behind the door that day, and he didn't know. And in his heart, he should think that I was just a helper invited by a wealthy businessman, and had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Just to be on the safe side, it's a good idea for me to stay here these days. ”

"How can this be done?" the city lord said, "I heard Qianqiu tell me that you came to Yunmeng this time to travel far away. If I agree to come down for a long time, not only will I not be able to bear it in my heart, but even Qianqiu will feel that my father is selfish. You just have to leave, after all, I have been sitting in this position for so many years. Even if Wanyan Qingqian is the only prince of Yunmeng, it is not easy to bring me down. ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "Uncle, what is there to delay in traveling far away, since I am in Yunmeng, isn't it also a long trip?" Besides, even if there is no such thing, I have to ask Qianqiu to take me to Gangyang City for a few more days. It's just that now it's happened. In the final analysis, it is better not to delay. ”

The two drank a lot of wine again, Zhuge Chen was not drunk, but the city lord was already drunk and hazy. As a junior, Zhuge Chen dared to show that he was too sober, so he had to pretend to be drunk and watch the housekeeper come to help the city lord back.

Just after Zhuge Chen sent the city lord away and returned to the house, he found that the crow was sitting in the place where he was sitting, shaking the wine glass, not knowing what he was thinking. Although the friendship between the two is not deep now, the crow is no longer as afraid of white clothes as it was at the beginning. First, I feel that even if I am a sword immortal, I like to be nosy, and it will not be so bad. The second is that since he has already apprenticed to the teacher verbally, no matter how good the master is, he will not do anything to harm the disciples.

Zhuge Chen sat down, then took out the saber he had just bought from the mustard seeds, put it in front of the crow, and said: "The sword is called Withered Leaf, slender and light, and it is suitable for a woman. Since you want to practice swords, you can't always use every sword in your hand, and this is considered as a gift from me. Don't be polite, just take it. If there is a better blade in the future, you can change it. ”

"Can't you do the same with two swords hanging from your waist?" asked the crow.

"Naturally. Zhuge Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you have to make your sword qi abundant, enough to control two swords." Otherwise, it is extremely easy to be counterattacked, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"I forgot, you are the pride of the sky, how can I compare?" Accepting the sword, the crow learned from Zhuge Chen's appearance and hung it on his waist. Then he picked up the flask, poured himself a glass, and spoke.

Zhuge Chen only listened to it as a good thing, and did not say anything more about this matter, but talked about his method of how to cultivate sword qi: "Sword cultivation sword, first out of sword qi, and then into a sword heart." You only need to sink your qi into the path of cultivation, hold the sword in your hand, understand it with your heart, and believe that with your talent, this is not a difficult task. ”

Raven asked, "Is it that simple?"

Zhuge Chen replied: "It's as simple as that, it's just a sword practice, what's so difficult?"

"You really don't belong to home, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The crow rolled his eyes and "sent" it to Zhuge Chen, and then had a whim, and said: "Why don't I follow your surname in the future and call Zhuge Crow?" ”

Zhuge Chen just whispered to you, and continued to drink.
