Chapter 306: Enter the Captain's Mansion
The old man got up, closed the broken doors and windows, and finally checked again, and made sure that they were airtight, and then he sat down again.
This posture made Cheng Xue a little nervous.
I saw that his expression was extremely serious, and then he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know which force I belong to here!"
Cheng Xue, who was originally nervous and expectant: "......"
Playing with her?
After being silent for a while, she bent her fingers, motioned for the other party to lean over, and then lowered her voice and said, "Be careful that your dog's life is not guaranteed!"
The naked threat worked, the old man got up, checked again, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he sat down opposite Cheng Xue again.
Cheng Xue leaned back in her chair casually, her face disdainful, it was naïve to be fooled once, and it was stupid to be fooled again.
"There are white cities, black cities, and earth cities around Cloud City, I have only been to these few places, and after that, my family's money was lost by me, so I ......"
"However, on the way, I met a like-minded son, who said that he came from the Imperial City, and judging by his actions, his family background must be prominent, and he must know more than me!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xue's clenched fists finally relaxed, she straightened up again, and asked, "Where is your friend now?" Or, do you know how to get around the Imperial City?"
"I don't know!" the old man shook his head.
Cheng Xue couldn't help but show her hard fists, and she didn't look at the other party on her face, but said lightly: "Oh, is it?"
"But I have his token, and he said that if you show it to the local governor, you can find him!" said the old man, who smiled and did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly presented the token.
Cheng Xue took it and saw that it was just a mortal thing, and the carvings on it were extremely chic.
"Where does the governor of this city live?" Cheng Xue took the token and was about to go to the door to ask for directions, but was stopped by the old man.
"The girl doesn't know, the officers and soldiers are rampant at the moment, and the city is in chaos, saying that they want to arrest criminals, but there must be a lot of involved, so you still have to be careful!"
"Why is there so much nonsense? Look ahead and look backward, the loser acts!"
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the force value of the people here was not high, and she couldn't break through her physical defenses at all, Cheng Xue wouldn't dare to act so rashly.
“...... You're right!" The old man looked in a trance for a while, and only after a while did he cheer up and say, "Come with me!"
"By the way, what should Liu Wu do?"
"It's okay, he admires the young shopkeeper of He's Hall, and he won't be able to come back for a while. Seeing Cheng Xue looking at him suspiciously, he simply sat down, "Then wait for him to come back, let's go again!"
“...... Forget it, hurry up. Cheng Xue thought about it for a while, but she still got down to business first, and the reward given to him would be discussed later.
In this way, the two of them went out secretly, to be more precise, the old man was sneaky alone, and Cheng Xue naturally disdained it.
walked a shortcut, led by Old Man Liu, and did not meet officers and soldiers this time.
Not long after, the two arrived at the local governor's mansion.
Before she got closer, Cheng Xue felt her eyes hidden in the dark, looking at this strict guard, it didn't match the scale of Cloud City!
Cloud City doesn't look big, and the surrounding villages are not rich, with Cheng Xue's vision, this is at most a border town.
However, looking at the garrison here, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the people who live in this mansion are not the emperors?
The two of them generously took the token and went to the door, the guard was originally a little contemptuous, but as soon as the token came out, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly went in to pass it on.
"It's really easy to use!" Cheng Xue glanced at the token in her hand and muttered.
It's boring to wait, so I couldn't help but ask the old man next to me: "How can such a useful thing be saved for now?"
The old man didn't know if he was nervous, his palms were full of sweat, he put his hands behind his back, and forced himself to calm down: "It is precisely because it is easy to use that I want to keep the town house!"
"It seems reasonable, can I take the liberty of asking, do you have children?"
As soon as he said this, the old man was not nervous, he waved his sleeves and smiled: "None!"
"Then if it is a single woman, no children, living alone, will there be anything wrong with communication?" Cheng Xue was overjoyed and asked again.
"The people of Yuncheng are simple and simple, they are free to marry, even if they are daughters, they can also set up a female household, as long as they do not encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, they are basically uncontrolled!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xue was overjoyed.
Seeing her so happy, Old Man Liu's small eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, which was quite inconsistent with his always approachable appearance.
Cheng Xue suddenly raised her head and grabbed his look.
She immediately put away her joy and stared at the old man in front of her with an expressionless face.
Old man Liu coughed lightly and snorted: "The person who reported this report has been in for so long, why hasn't he come out?"
Cheng Xue thought about it, now that he is in this realm, he is invulnerable, he can walk sideways, even if the person in front of him has any careful thoughts, he is just killing himself!
After thinking about it, she eased her expression and said casually: "I guess something is delayed." ”
There's really something delayed.
In fact, the owner of the token is in the house, busy arresting the "criminal".
While the attendant was holding the token to report, another person was reporting in the study.
"That woman hurt people with her bare hands, and I and more than a dozen other brothers couldn't help her, but were put down by her!" That person was the leader of the team who had a conflict with Cheng Xue on the street before, a man with five big and three thick, in front of the man, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
"So ......"
The man at the top threw down the jade he was playing with, and after a few breaths, he commanded.
The attendant outside the study waited respectfully outside the door, holding his breath and not daring to disturb rashly.
After a while, the people inside withdrew, and the attendant went in with the token to report.
When the man saw the token, he took it with interest, and after a long time, he remembered the reckless things he had done when he was young, and couldn't help but smile and knock on his forehead.
"It turned out to be an old friend who came to the door, and quickly invited people into the house!"
Cheng Xue and the others were led into the Captain's Mansion, don't look at the strict outside, there are flowers inside, pavilions and pavilions, all of which are lacking in rich and noble families.
Old man Liu was secretly speechless, he also thought that Yuncheng was a small place in the countryside, but he didn't expect the local governor's mansion to be so beautiful!
After thinking about it, he couldn't help sighing, alas, it's all people's fat and people's ointment!
Cheng Xue's thoughts are similar to him, the fence courtyard in Liujia Village, and the endless barren fields in sight, basically set the tone of this place, anyway, it can't be linked to wealth.
No matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces.
Soon, along the stone-paved path, passing through many flowers and plants, the waiter led the two to a side hall.
The host is already waiting there.
I thought I was just meeting the old man Liu of the local governor, but he was stunned on the spot.
