Chapter 201: Into the City
When he arrived near the gate of Meicheng, Cheng Xue put away the spirit boat and entered the city under the leadership of Mo Feng.
Although the city is not as prosperous as Qingyang City, her grandfather's home, there are also a lot of people, and the shouts of restaurants soliciting customers are heard from time to time on the street.
Soon after entering the city, several children in shabby clothes stepped forward and vied with each other to introduce Cheng Xue to the customs here.
"Sister, but you want to stay in a hotel, the tavern inn in the city, we are all familiar with each other!"
A few people chattered a lot, and it turned out to be a group of small brokers.
Cheng Xue smiled and waved her hand, and before she could say no, a group of people walked towards her.
Cheng Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at the visitor.
I saw a woman who looked five points similar to Mo Feng, leading a bunch of attendants, coming on foot, everyone avoided her, and when they saw her stop at the city gate, the pedestrians all looked at her with different faces.
"Your guests are here, and you are not welcomed, and I hope that the master and senior sister will not be blamed!" The woman bowed generously, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, which attracted praise from others.
Cheng Xue was a little surprised, as soon as she entered the city, she was recognized by someone, and she couldn't help but glance at Mo Feng next to her, and then smiled, and said to the other party, "No need to be polite, I don't know that the city lord can be in the mansion now, passing by here, and he has admired his name for a long time, so he came to visit." ”
Mo Tong straightened his waist, looked at the young Chosen Son, and said officially, "Father has been waiting for a long time, please come with me!"
As he spoke, he was about to take someone into the City Lord's Mansion, but was stopped by Mo Feng.
"Eldest sister, I know the road to the City Lord's Mansion, so it won't take up your time, I'll just take the little senior sister there. "Mo Feng finally brought people into the city, but he couldn't be robbed of his credit.
Mo Tong didn't seem to care about this, just glanced at him deeply, and after saluting Cheng Xue again, he conveniently landed and left with someone.
This came and went suddenly, Cheng Xue thought she could see some fratricidal drama, but she didn't expect the thunder to be heavy and the rain was small, and she was lonely.
Mo Feng was not surprised by this, her sister, she likes to pretend the most, obviously she hates it to death in her heart, and she has to pretend to be generous on her face.
Sure enough, when others saw this scene, they praised her for her decent, graceful and self-contained, and looked at Mo Feng's eyes as if she was looking at a mouse.
Mo Feng sneered, spread his hands towards Cheng Xue, and then led the person to the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing him lonely on the road, Cheng Xue comforted him a few words and said no more.
She listened to a lot of gossip in Xiangcheng at the beginning, and combined with the discussions of passers-by, it is not difficult to guess that the heroic woman should be the legendary princess Mo Tong.
Cheng Xue is not interested in this kind of struggle for power and profit, it is okay to listen to it for fun, but it is impossible for her to go on this troubled water.
Soon, the City Lord's Mansion arrived.
The city lord of Meicheng, Mo Hui was already waiting at the door, in addition to the attendants behind him, there was also an old man standing beside him, with strong spirits, seemingly ordinary, but his strength was unfathomable.
It stands to reason that even if it is a disciple of the main sect, the city lord does not have to lower his identity so much, but Cheng Xue's background is really not ordinary.
Putting aside her identity as the daughter of the ancestor, just talking about being on the list of heavenly choices can make almost all forces welcome her, and this alone makes him have to pay attention to it.
Seeing that someone was coming, Mo Hui first glanced at her vaguely, and then changed his smile and greeted her warmly.
"Don't blame the distinguished guests for their visits, if they miss the distance!" he looked at Cheng Xue with a sincere face, and nodded secretly in his heart.
Although his cultivation is not high in the world of cultivating immortals, as the lord of a city, he still has the knowledge he should have, although the person in front of him is still young, his body momentum is by no means ordinary, and he is worthy of being the core disciple cultivated by the great sect.
Hearing this, Cheng Xue looked up, a little surprised in her heart, just listening to the gossip, she thought that the city lord of Meicheng should be an old man, but she didn't expect to look so young.
However, when she saw this person's eyes, she quickly understood that the skin would deceive people, but the eyes would not, the eyes were cloudy, and at first glance it was an old man who had experienced a lot of things in the world.
These thoughts were only in a thought, and soon Cheng Xue came back to her senses, seeing that he was so polite, she knew that such treatment was not because of her own cultivation strength, most of it was because of the name of the sect and the chosen son, so he had to look at it differently.
With a clear heart, naturally she would not be carried away by this moment's lifting, she smiled and bowed and said, "The city lord is polite, it is rude for the younger generation to visit the mansion rashly!"
Seeing that she was not trusted, the city lord of Mo looked at her even more highly, "Distinguished guests are coming, they are shining, where are you still talking about those false courtesies!"
The two talked and laughed, Mo Feng was happy when he saw it, at this time, he couldn't just be a background board, he stepped forward to greet "Father." ”
Mo Hui looked at this inconspicuous son and nodded.
Seeing this, Mo Feng was overjoyed, it seems that he brought someone back, and he brought it right!
After that, the city lord of Mo smiled and led people into the mansion, as early as when Cheng Xue entered the city, he had to receive the news, although he didn't know her intentions, but no matter what, he had to be entertained.
Therefore, he had already asked people to prepare the feast.
Everyone sat down, first politely said a few words, Mo Hui introduced a few local specialties to Cheng Xue, as well as the customs and customs here, but they were also happy, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Until, Cheng Xue asked a slightly abrupt question, "Does the city lord know, how many neighboring cities are here?"
There was something wrong with the atmosphere on the field, Mo Hui looked surprised, and didn't understand what she meant, but this kind of thing that everyone knows, it doesn't hurt to talk about it.
"Lancheng, Zhucheng, Jucheng and Xiangcheng are not far from my Meicheng, and the five cities have always been in the same breath and worked together for the main sect!" Mo Hui sat on the top, arched his hand, and said.
Hearing this, Cheng Xue raised her eyebrows, and her face showed joy, "City Lord Mo, I can't hide it, I came this time and asked for something." ”
Mo Hui glanced at the old man beside him, but his mouth was also kind, "I want to hear it!"
If it's a trivial matter, if they can make friends with the chosen son, they will naturally not sit idly by, if it is anything else, they will have to discuss it.
"Before that, I also want to ask how often Meicheng usually pays tribute to the main sect, and what is the way?" Although Cheng Xue was curious about who the old man was, but the business was important, she looked serious, and asked this, as if she was really just asking for advice.
The smile on Mo Hui's face gradually dissipated, thinking that Cheng Xue was hinting that there was too little tribute, which made this proud son of heaven dissatisfied, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he still thought that this person had a great temperament!
He looked down and decided to do business, "Every year, the five cities will send people to the main sect to pay tribute to the material spirit stone, last year, my city paid tribute to the main sect 10,000 plum brand stones, plus 10,000 spirit stones, and other spiritual objects, these must also be in the main sect." ”
Plum branding stone, is a unique kind of spiritual ore in Meicheng, when refining the magic weapon, add this thing, can strengthen the toughness of the magic weapon, although it is not a rare treasure in the world of cultivating immortals, but it is also quite rare.
Seeing that Mo Hui's attitude had faded, Cheng Xue also knew that she was in a hurry and made people dissatisfied, so she hurriedly remedied, "It's me who is abrupt, asking these questions is not to have any opinions on the city lord, but to strengthen the connection between the main sect and the cities." ”
"I'm ashamed to say that when I went down the mountain, the head of the sect ordered me to go to the city under my jurisdiction to learn about the situation of the sect. "Senior brother in charge, borrow your name for a purpose.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people on the field changed, and even the old man standing next to the city lord of Meicheng had a look that had always been unwavering, and he was a little shaken.
Originally, I thought she was just going out to experience and passing through here, but I didn't expect it to be a Qin trip, a private visit to Weifu!
