Zhuge Chen and Wanyan Qingqian walked down the Bird Crane Tower together, leaving only the crow who wanted to enjoy the scenery to stay at the top of the tower alone.

Walking on the long street, Wan Yan Qingqian was still in a trance, and he didn't know why he had obtained a monstrous wealth, although it was not a pie in the sky, but in the face of the temptation of the dragon chair, how many people could turn a blind eye?

Zhuge Chen turned his head and said, "In the backyard of the rich merchant's house that day, I heard all the conversations between you and the woman. I would like to advise you, the City Lord's Mansion has a good relationship with me, and if you still insist on doing it, it is very likely that you will be defeated. ”

"I can't be the master of this matter. The imperial brother sent me here, it doesn't matter whether the matter is successful or not, at best, it is just a test to see if the city lord of Gangyang City is still as loyal as before, and whether he can be defeated, but it is not particularly important. Wan Yan Qingqian shook his head and said, "Therefore, I can only do it, even if you stop it from Sword Immortal, you can't make me give up." ”

Zhuge Chen smiled slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, it is easy to do, just make a show." Find a good time, you are inviting the city lord to hold a banquet and invite the city lord's mansion to come, and I will also participate in it. When the time comes, you can cooperate with me to play a play, and hide it from your royal brother. It's just like a favor that I sent you along the river, and it has nothing to do with buying and selling. ”

Fang Cai also said that Zhuge Chen, who did not spare the needle, has now begun to think about it for the sake of Wanyan Qingqian, whether it is true or not, in short, this prince is more and more looking forward to making a deal with Baiyi.

Turning the corner, the two parted ways. Zhuge Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and found the City Lord as soon as possible, telling the matter, but he just concealed the deal with Wan Yan Qingqian about the ownership of the dragon chair. It's not that he deliberately warns of the city lord, it's just that this matter is very important, and ordinary people don't know as much as possible. Otherwise, it is very likely to become a handle and be calculated. The affairs of the emperor's family, where can ordinary people figure it out? Even Zhuge Chen, if he doesn't dare to say it, he will definitely be able to let Wan Yan Qingqian sit firmly on the dragon chair. After all, he has the intention to insert willows, and even if the other party is justified, in times of turmoil, it depends on his own wrist. It was impossible for him to keep an eye on Yunmeng all the time, after all, one day, he would return to the heavens, and it seemed that it was not far from that time.

After telling the city lord about the matter, the city lord said with some emotion: "I can't see it from my only son, but in Zhuge boy, I think that the future world is not suitable for us old people after all! ”

Zhuge Chen just tasted the light tea with a weak taste and did not answer.

At this moment, the butler pushed the door and walked in, and said, "Master, there is a team of people from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and it should be because of some unworthy matters that there is a conflict, and I want to find you for a verdict." Do you think you're going to let them wait first, or what?"

"Let's go check it out now, it's not like dragging it out. The city lord stood up and said, "Zhuge boy, you can walk around the house. Some of these gardens are for me to be tended to, and some of them are purely out of my interest. Listening to Qianqiu, you also have some opinions about the garden, so it's better to go and see it first. ”

Zhuge Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Qianqiu is talking nonsense again, I am a sword cultivator who does not understand the style, what opinion can I have about the garden? Anyway, if you are idle, I will take a look with you." I don't have anything else, I like to join in the fun. ”

The group came to the side of the gate, the city lord sat in the first place, and the steward stood behind the city lord. As for Zhuge Chen, he then took a small bench and sat under the steps, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel no threat when they saw it.

On the left hand side of the courtyard, there was a man and a woman, the man wore a sword at his waist, but there was no sword cultivation aura on his body, presumably just to scare people. After all, walking in the market and showing your sword cultivation identity can save you a lot of trouble. Many mountain and wild cultivators are well-known for bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and some even hear the word sword cultivation, they will be careful to avoid conflicts with the other party. This is not only because of the difficulty of sword cultivation, but also because of offending sword cultivation, eighty percent of it is an endless battle. For most of the mountain and wild cultivators who put their lives first, and then snatch the opportunity, they can not offend the general sword cultivator of the "appendage of the bone", or not offend the subtlety.

And the woman was full of heroism. If the two armies put on armor in front of the battle, it will definitely be a woman who will not let her eyebrows. On his body, Zhuge Chen smelled the smell of sword cultivation, but it was as light as water, which made it difficult for him to judge.

As for the right-hand side, there is a team of people, led by a son-in-law who is a hanger. Even in the face of the city lord who was high above, he could look at the other party provocatively. Looking at that, I'm afraid it should be a certain family concubine in the Yunmeng Imperial Capital.

Zhuge Chen looked at each other with some curiosity, and then the eyes of the two intertwined in the air, and the boy actually laughed and said, "Yes, I met another one who is not afraid of death!"

Zhuge Chen didn't speak, just retracted his gaze, clasped his hands to his head, and leaned on the pillar behind him.

The city lord looked down, and the butler had a loud voice and said, "Why did the two sides come to the city lord's mansion?"

The man on the left immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a crying voice: "The city lord is above, and I hope you will uphold justice." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned when he saw a man with two knives hanging from his waist beside the young brother, and he snapped out a knife aura. And Zhuge Chen seemed to have expected the other party to have this hand, stood up, took a step, smashed the knife qi with one punch, and then sat down floatingly, and said calmly: "If you talk about things, you will talk about things, and if you do it, you will hurt your anger." If you want to stretch your muscles, I'll go outside with you?"

The man with the double knife snorted coldly, looked at Zhuge Chen and said, "I can't ask for it." ”

Zhuge Chen laughed, then waved his hand and said, "I'm playing with you." ”

"The vertical son is looking for death!" Even though the man with the double knife was about to rush forward and cut off Zhuge Chen's head, he was stopped by the boy.

"In the city lord's mansion, don't be so excited, listen to what the city lord has to say. The boy in brocade clothes said with a smile, but that look was like a poisoned snake in the forest, which made people uncomfortable.

The farce came to an end, and at the signal of the city lord, the man continued: "My young lady and I offended that son for some reason, and the original apology was stopped. Unexpectedly, for three days and three nights, they still chased after the two of us. Thinking about it, only by coming here can I ask you, the city lord, to administer justice, so that my young lady and I can escape. ”

After listening to the man's incomprehensible words, the city lord narrowed his eyes, looked at the young brother and said, "But as he said?"

"I know that Gangyang City is special in many of our Yunmeng cities, but in this matter, I advise the city lord to leave it alone, it's better to leave it alone. If I turn a blind eye, I guarantee that the lord of the castle will be able to profit a lot from it. All you need to do is leave now, whether it's drinking or whatever, just put those two in my hands. Brother Gongzi looked at the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, and said without raising his head. It can be seen that he has no respect for the city lord at all. Maybe it's because of his own family background, maybe it's because he is afraid of "dirty" eyes, or in the Yunmeng realm, there are very few things that are worthy of him to take seriously.

"There has never been such a thing in this court. So I can only regret telling Childe that this is not going to work. The city lord said slowly.

Brother Gongzi smiled weirdly after hearing this, and it was okay at first, but later he laughed out loud. And the woman frowned, and finally spoke out when she couldn't help it: "A gentleman, at best, you can make waves by relying on a good father, are you worthy of being so arrogant?"

"Miss Yan, reincarnation is also a skill. Besides, what qualifications do you have to say that I used to be like me, didn't you enjoy the glory and wealth of the world like me, and take it for granted?" Brother Gongzi stopped laughing, stretched out his hand and said a little in the air: "It's a pity, now that the family is ruined, if you want to be like before, you don't have this blessing!"

The woman surnamed Yan finally couldn't help it, snatched the sword from the waist of the man next to her and held it in her hand, and was about to rush towards this side. Only then did Zhuge Chen know why Fang Cai had a strange feeling, it turned out that this Yan girl was walking on the left side of the side door of Jian Xiu. The ascent from here is naturally smooth at first, but when you reach the halfway point of the mountain, it will feel like climbing to the sky. And the sword cultivator has never regarded these cultivators as people in the same way, although he holds a sword in his hand, even if the realm is high enough, he is just a swordsman. It is still far from cultivating sword qi and condensing sword heart, especially if he has developed a sword path by himself.

"City lord, you saw it this time, she did it first!" Brother Gongzi said, and then beside him, the man with the double knife swept out first, and the double knife in his hand was about to harvest the life of the Yan girl.

Zhuge Chen didn't get up, still watching a play. But in the midst of the lightning and fire, the man with the double sword actually wanted to take the lead in cutting him off the horse, which forced Zhuge Chen to slap the rubber pillar sword on his waist, and quickly dodged the opponent's attack with a white horse, and then landed not far away, squinted his eyes and said: "It seems that you are really not afraid of death." ”

The next moment, Haoran's sword qi was stirring up here, and he walked forward step by step, leaving behind green lotuses wherever he walked. This is Zhuge Chen's unique perception after entering the demon, just this time to try the other party.

"I want to see what kind of family it is, worthy of the word arrogant. Zhuge Chen held the rubber pillar in his hand, and the hem of his white clothes swayed with the sword qi, and with just one sword, he pierced the chest of the man wearing the double sword: "Could it be the son of the academy master?

For this sword, Zhuge Chen deliberately reserved his strength, otherwise the man with the double sword would have fallen in a pool of blood at this moment. He put his sword into the sheath and finished it in one go, and then said, "Here, I hope you can be a little quieter. If you want to pick up a sword and wield a knife, I don't mind accompanying you to practice. Of course, if I were to make a move next time, it wouldn't be as easy as this one. Anyway, you'll have to pay the price of your life. ”

If he was not in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, but Zhuge Chen was alone, Brother Gongzi's group would have to die under his sword. But in Gangyang City, after all, he still has to think about the city lord, and it is impossible to do what he wants. Otherwise, if you really offend someone, Zhuge Chen doesn't care, he travels far away, and he may not be able to settle down when he will be able to settle down. After returning to Dayan or Kuhai Academy, occupying the right time and place, few people in the whole world dare to go here to spread wilderness. But the city lord can only stay in the newly cultivated, if someone wants revenge, it will be a tragedy.

Beside Brother Gongzi, a few people hurriedly helped the man with the double knife back and sat down. He shook his head with Brother Gongzi, and said cautiously: "Childe, this person's killing power is at least the realm of the Dao realm, and it is also the most difficult sword cultivation, I am afraid that we people can't afford to provoke it." ”

Brother Gongzi nodded slightly, he was arrogant, but he was not stupid. Knowing the stakes, he also knew that Zhuge Chen didn't want to tear his face with them, so he said with a smile: "This sword immortal, we are new to the city and don't understand the rules, and after now, it won't be like this." ”

For a sword cultivator whose killing power is above the Zhen Dao, at least in this world, he can already be called a sword immortal. And in that heavenly realm, you need to be in the realm of saints. Even the pseudo-saints, or those who use the method of the side door and the left way, are still just sword cultivators.

Talk to smart people and save you the hassle. Zhuge Chen immediately sat back on the chair, yawned, and fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up, there was no one around him. After turning back to the mansion to find the city lord, and after chatting for a while, Zhuge Chen knew that the city lord didn't plan to care about this matter, at least he didn't want to get involved in it and provoke a fishy body. Therefore, he just said that at least in this Gangyang City, Brother Gongzi and his party were not allowed to do it, and as for leaving Gangyang City, it didn't matter if they were dead or alive.

For such a solution, Zhuge Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that it couldn't be better. And just as he was about to turn around, the city lord stopped him and said that the man and woman had the intention of inviting him to dinner. It should be that he wants to win over a sword immortal, even if it is not to achieve a certain purpose, it is good to be able to leave a piece of incense. Besides, the two of them were able to survive today, naturally because of Zhuge Chen's action. Even if the reason is certainly not for them, but the result is already in front of you, and thanking you is still essential. Unless you can't even do this little thing, you can't let go of your face. Many times, if you don't have the strength, you can't do it left and right, and even if the opportunity you get is already hot in the palm of your hand, it will still slip away after all.

For Bai Lai's dinner, of course Zhuge Chen would not refuse, and after agreeing to the city lord with a smile, he left.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the house, before he could stay in the world of incense, he heard a knock on the door. got up and opened the door, Zhuge Chen saw a face with some impressions, it was an attendant who followed the boy brother during the day.

Zhuge Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Childe invited me to come, and I want to invite the sword fairy to drink and talk. Childe said that you were familiar with you at first sight, and just a sword made him unforgettable. It's a pity that you can't get acquainted with such a celebrity. I hope that the sword fairy can give him a small face, so that he can turn the war into a jade silk, and apologize to the sword fairy for the previous abruptness. The attendant said politely, and it can be seen that the boy is really not an ordinary person. The attendants who followed him were so well-cultivated, and the way they behaved in the world, especially the way they spoke, made people feel very comfortable. Ordinary rich and noble families either got into the eyes of money, or they couldn't think of this at all, so the subordinates were reckless, and in the end, they would be more or less reflected in the master's body.

Zhuge Chen, who also wanted to drink, but didn't want to pay out of his own pocket, agreed: "I know, you go back and talk to your master first." I'm sure I'll go before dark. ”

The attendant asked with some confusion: "Sword Immortal, you didn't ask where you are, how can you go?"

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "As your son-in-law, if you want to invite me to drink, is it possible that you will go to a slightly worse restaurant? ”

The attendant opened his mouth and said: "It is worthy of being a sword immortal, one step ahead, and you will see everything!"

This sycophancy, to be honest, is really not good, but Zhuge Chen still laughed.

......

As Zhuge Chen said, before dark, he walked into the invitation building.

As the largest restaurant in Gangyang City, there is naturally a lot of traffic in front of the building. Zhuge Chen cautiously dodged, walked into it, and walked up the stairs step by step.

By this time, the blind old man had gone back to cook for his granddaughter, so he did not see him. However, as night falls, there is no doubt that the building is more lively than daylight. The noise was endless, and Zhuge Chen could only surround himself with sword qi and move forward, as if hiding in a small world.

Today, please go to the top of the building, which has been chartered, and it is naturally the big deal of the son. Anyway, he didn't care about these few coins, and the drunkard's intention was not in the wine, but on Zhuge Chen's body. To say that the other party wants to do something to him, Zhuge Chen will never believe it. Walking in the rivers and lakes, if you want to have no worries, it is not easy to say that it is simple, but it is difficult to say, in fact, it will never be difficult. As long as you treat everything as a business and work hard, there is nothing to worry about. But how to run it is another business. Everyone is different and cannot be taught.

As soon as he saw Zhuge Chen, the boy greeted him very warmly, look at the posture, where did the two seem to have clashed?

Zhuge Chen also smiled and responded, and the two sat down side by side, only then did he realize that there were only the two of them at the wine table.

As if seeing Zhuge Chen's doubts, Brother Gongzi said: "Today's banquet, there are only the two of us. I don't like to be lively, and I hope that the sword fairy will take care of it. Of course, if you can't say no, I'll just let those attendants come up now!"

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said, then picked up the wine jug and filled a glass for himself, put it next to his nose and smelled it, and couldn't help but say: "Childe's wine, it's a good wine! Not only mellow, but also endlessly aftertaste, I wonder if Childe still has stock? If so, I want to buy a few pots from you." Even if you want to sell a pot for a Cave Heaven Coins, it is negotiable. At least in my eyes, it's worth the price. ”

Brother Gongzi smiled lightly, and then said: "Sword Immortal said this, isn't he scolding me? Not to mention a few pots of wine, even if I give you all the rest of my mustard seeds, as long as you are willing to speak, I will never feel distressed." ”

"One yard is one yard, but if Childe can let me buy some and give me a pot or two, it will be even better. Zhuge Chen said.

The words of the two seem to be calm, but in fact, they are testing each other's bottom line. seems to be arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes, but in fact, he just feels that he doesn't need to be too cautious when talking to ordinary people. But in the face of a young man who thought that his age was almost the same as him, but his realm could already be called a sword immortal, he would naturally not be the same as before. Those few pots of wine, for him, are far from being precious and cannot be sold, so it is better to treat them as favors, and he can also see the other party's temperament.

People who have always liked to be greedy for cheap in big and small things have a hard way out. It is not a good saying that suffering a loss is a blessing, but taking advantage of it is endless, and you really think that your fortune is unique?

Until there was no wine jug on the table, just when Brother Gongzi instructed the attendant to bring up a few jugs, Zhuge Chen suddenly asked: "How did the pair of men and women in the day offend Gongzi? If you can't say it, you just didn't ask me." ”

"What can't be said. Brother Gongzi was obviously drunk, but he didn't know if he was pretending to be or not: "The woman among the two has an unusual identity, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Yunmeng's family, and she can be regarded as enjoying all the wealth." It's just that after the fall of the prime minister, Yan's mansion was raided, and she was a woman, and she was also a cultivator, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to get out of the imperial capital. ”

Zhuge Chen asked, "That son?"

"The sword fairy obviously guessed it, why do you still ask me?" said Childe, who laughed.

At this time, of course, the only one who can hunt down the only daughter of the former prime minister's family is the current prime minister. After all, if you want to sit firmly in your position, the first thing is naturally to clean up the "old ministers of the former dynasty" and support your cronies under your own eyelids. Everyone is like this, and this is the so-called three fires of new officials. It's no wonder that Brother Gongzi is so arrogant, with the support of a prime minister's father, he can indeed be domineering in Yunmeng.

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, no longer holding a cup to drink, but turned to holding a wine jug and drinking one sip after another. And Brother Gongzi is also out of the way, and he keeps accompanying the wine, even if he is already a little nauseous, he still doesn't stop. His father once warned him that if he wants to live a satisfactory life, he has to lower his stature.
