Volume 2: Drifting Away Chapter 148: The City!

Wu Shunfeng didn't say much when he saw him drinking like this, after all, in such a situation, only drinking can relieve some melancholy.

But why did he say that he wouldn't question Tanaka's decision, but his heart was very painful?

Thinking of this, I also filled my intestines with the teapot, and it seemed that only in this way could I eliminate the misjudgment in my heart......

For the next two days, the three of them wandered around in this Star City, but the so-called wicked man still did not come, and there seemed to be a slight change from the innkeeper's three or five days.

When he woke up on this day, Mo Qingyu came directly to Hong Lie's bell room and asked him if anything had changed.

"Senior Hong, if according to what the innkeeper said, six days have passed since those wicked people left last time, could it be that they have noticed something?"

"I can't figure this out of Lao Hong, maybe I feel that it will be dangerous, so I shrank up. ”

"Hmm...... There is also this possibility, after all, people's intuition is very wonderful, and even ordinary people can sense the danger coming. ”

"Maybe it's like you say, it's because they sensed something was wrong that they didn't come. Hong Liezhong said, suddenly smiled and said: "It is also possible that they have not come because of something delayed, maybe they can meet today." ”

"Oh, in this way, Senior Hong feels that something is wrong?"

"No, I just think there's a good show to watch today. ”

"What kind of show? I guess it's not the juggling of ordinary people, right?"

"Yes, that's why it's so good-looking, because you're going to be the one in charge this time. ”

"How can Senior Hong talk so much about selling Guanzi, it makes the kid's heart itch, I don't know what is going to happen?"

"Haha, since you don't know, then don't go to guessing and thinking anymore, Yao'er should have woken up at this hour, she was shouting yesterday, and she has to eat the sweet bean cake in the city again. ”

After that, Hong Liezhong went out of the room directly, and Mo Qingyu could only temporarily suppress the doubts and curiosity in his heart and followed.

When he came to the door of Gu Chenyao's room, he heard the sound of footsteps in the house, and before he could close the door, it had been opened, and then a small figure rushed into his arms.

"Brother, brother, you promised Yao'er yesterday, and today you will go to that house to eat sweet bean cakes, I wonder if my brother has forgotten?"

"Haha, you little gluttonous cat! You don't think much about anything except eating, drinking, and playing, which is really enviable. ”

"I'm sick of it~ If my brother is pressing Yao'er's nose, he will definitely become ugly if he goes down in the future!"

"Okay, good, if you don't press it, my brother's Yao'er will definitely be the most beautiful at any time, if you grow up, you will definitely have the appearance of a country and a city!"

What girl doesn't like others to say that she is beautiful? Although Gu Chenyao's little face showed a touch of blush, her heart was beautiful, and she leaned her little head on her brother's chest, feeling the very familiar breath.

But the happiest thing is that my brother has changed in the past two days, obviously no longer as cold as when I first met him in the Sea of Death, as if he had returned to the time when they first met.

"You little girl, you really have a brother, you forgot your uncle, you owe Uncle Hong to take care of you like that and take you out of the lost swamp, hey~ It's really chilling~"

Hong Liezhong saw his brother and sister like this, and for some reason he felt very comfortable in his heart, and then he also made a joke about the little girl.

After Gu Chenyao heard this, the blush on his face suddenly became a little deeper, and he didn't know how to answer, but instead arched his little head into his brother's arms, as if he wanted to hide himself.

This performance made the two of them laugh out loud and walked downstairs at the same time.

When the innkeeper saw the three of them coming down, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile and asked if he needed to prepare some food, but because Yao'er was always thinking about the sweet bean cake, he had to respond casually and went outside.

When I came to the street, I looked at the looks in the eyes of the pedestrians, although I was not as panicked as when I first came, but after all, I still subconsciously dodged it, so I can imagine how many hateful bad things those wicked people have done in just two months!

Just as he was about to walk to the stall of sweet bean cakes, there was a chaotic shouting and begging for mercy not far away, although it was not very real, but it was not difficult to guess that it must be the so-called 'law enforcers' coming!

The two of them looked at each other in unison, and then hurried to find the source of the sound, eager to see what that wicked man was like, and could do such a terrifying thing!

"Phew! You dead thing! Don't you know that you need to pay the stall money to set up a stall in the city to sell your arts? Last time, Lao Tzu saw that you were pitiful, so he let you go once, and now he dares to deny it like this!"

"Adult!~ The small one is only one or two silver taels a day, and he can't even ask for a grain a day, and there are parents, wives and children waiting to support him at home, you want to be fifty grains, where can the small one get it for you!~"

"Phew! Shameless thing! Now the cultivators in the alliance are on the front line regardless of life and death in order to keep you safe! Now I am looking for you to collect some broken silver materials, and they are so resistant! Don't you know what it means to be united?!"

As the conversation continued to enter his ears, Mo Qingyu felt very interesting, and he also felt that the person in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"My lord!~ The small one is now left with this broken silver, and I hope you can raise your noble hand and let go of the small one, and when the business is good in the future, it will definitely be made up...... Eh~"

I saw that before the juggling strong man finished speaking, he snatched away the silver taels, and then kicked him to the ground fiercely, and scolded and scolded: "Look at your nest! Six or seven days have passed, and there is only this silver coin, so how can you feed the mother-in-law, it is better to give it to Lao Tzu and take it back to enjoy!" Haha......

When the strong man heard such insults, he immediately stood up, his eyes were red, as if he was about to spew flames, but he kept warning himself in his heart, he must be calm, if he was the only one, even if he couldn't beat him to death, but now there is still a family to support himself......

When the wicked man saw him stand up suddenly, his eyes burst out with strong killing intent, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that he didn't move, he suddenly raised his hand high and slapped him in the face fiercely!

Mo Qingyu now finally understands how bad this group of wicked people is, but he also understands that in the current situation, killing one or two will not do anything at all, and the most effective way is to normalize them! Or uproot them!

After thinking about everything, he dodged in front of the strong man, firmly grasped the palm that was about to fall, and raised his other hand at the same time, dragging a snow-white silver coin on it!

"Wait, don't you just want a few coins? Why do you want to speak so badly?"

When the wicked man saw that he dared to stop him, he was furious, but before he could see the person clearly, he was attracted by the white silver ingot, and his eyes flashed with greedy green light.

Hong Liezhong, who was standing not far away, knew that this matter would not be easily solved by this alone, because he was too familiar with the nature of this kind of person!

"Hmph! Count you stinky boy acquaintance! Why don't you quickly take away this dirty hand?! Otherwise, when the power of my alliance comes, you will definitely kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"

"Yes, yes, Fang is a small offense, there are many offenses to the law enforcers, but I don't know which faction the adults are, look at the small ones who can know each other?"

When the wicked man heard this, he suddenly felt a little weak, and his eyes flashed as he looked at the sturdy young man in front of him, and when he saw it more clearly, his legs suddenly became weak with fright, and his body trembled and almost collapsed to the ground!

"What's the matter, my lord? But why do you recognize the villain and make such a gesture?"

"No, it's nothing, I just think you're a little familiar, but for the sake of your boy's eyes, I'll let that dog go today, and wait until the next time I come to collect taxes, if it's still like this, don't blame Lord Ben for being ruthless!" while shouting and scolding, he turned and left, and when he walked around a corner, he saw that no one was coming, and he sat down on the ground, and then sweated like rain, as if he had just seen an evil ghost.

When the juggler saw such a scene, his heart was naturally very grateful, but he was also full of worry, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you for your help today! Otherwise, the little one doesn't know what kind of beating he will encounter!hey~"

"Oh, I've seen it too, he's just an ordinary person, but why are you so afraid of him? It stands to reason that you should be able to subdue him!"

"The benefactor doesn't know anything...... The strong man naturally heard the disdain in the words, so he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "If he were the only one, I wouldn't be afraid of him, and I could even easily beat him all over the ground to find his teeth......!"

Hearing this, he suddenly paused, and Mo Qingyu guessed that these wicked people must not be one or two, but organized!

"In that case, do you know where everyone else is, and if so, tell me to make sure that you will not be harassed again in the future!"

The strong man thought about it, looked around again, and finally said that he didn't know, as if he was worried about something.

Seeing this, Mo Qingyu naturally knew that he was afraid of retaliation, so he didn't continue to ask, and after a few words of casual comfort, he walked towards Hong Lie Zhong, but he was very resentful in his heart.

"What's the matter? But when you see these dark things, you feel uneasy?"

"Senior Hong, don't you feel the slightest feeling? Although the kid can't go back to the Heavenly Chosen Alliance, there are still a group of brothers there who are fighting regardless of their personal safety! But now that he is inexplicably burdened with such a stigma, how can you let the kid's heart calm down?"

"Haha, since you can't calm down, let's have fun and relax, and forget all these unpleasantness. ”

"Forget it all? Senior Hong is really a master in the world, and he said all these words!"

Seeing what he said, Hong Liezhong directly pulled Yao'er towards it, as if he really wanted to play again, but how could he not know what he was thinking in his heart?

But until nightfall, he found nothing, so he had to return to the inn in a daze, and without saying a word, he returned directly to his guest room, and Gu Chenyao only felt very aggrieved.

"Uncle Hong, how has my brother's temperament changed so much recently, it doesn't seem to be like the same him used to be......"

"It's okay, he just realized his state of mind not long ago, and he encountered such changes one after another, so it's normal to have this behavior, and it's good to figure it out after a few days. ”

"Do you know what kind of state of mind your brother comprehends?"

"If what Uncle Hong said is right, it should be at ease......

When Gu Chenyao heard this, he suddenly sneered and said, "Hey~ With such virtue, can you become at ease?" Yao'er looked at him as if he had comprehended the fickleness!"

Seeing such a scene, Hong Liezhong didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to smile awkwardly, then turned around and walked downstairs to find the boss who was settling accounts behind the counter.

"Boss, why didn't those wicked people come to you today?"

"Huh?" The boss heard the inquiry, raised his head suspiciously, and when he saw the person in front of him, he hurriedly walked out of the counter and said: "This villain doesn't know, if it were in the past, they would definitely have come early, but today I don't know why, it's been a long time at night, and they haven't come yet." ”

"Oh, has this happened before?"

"It doesn't seem to have happened, could it be that they got some news?

"Then if it's like what you said, can you know where this group of wicked people came from? Although Hong rarely comes to this Leaning Star City, he also knows more or less that he has the position of city lord, why don't you go to the city lord to explain the reason and let him deal with this matter?"

When the innkeeper heard this, he immediately showed an angry face and said: "It's okay not to mention the city lord of that nest, but now when I mention it, it's really hateful!"

"What do you mean by that? Lao Hong, I have traveled to many cities and towns, and I have seen some city lords to some extent, but I have never seen any of them have evil deeds. ”

"Hey~ What is the situation of several other towns, the villain doesn't know, but I think it's different here! Because the city lord here is just a five or six-year-old child!"

Hearing this, Hong Liezhong showed a puzzled look, after all, the position of the city lord is to guard a city, and more importantly, it is to condense the god rank! Why is there a child here?

"Do you know why, or is there something weird about the city of Overheads?"

"It takes two years to talk about it......"

As the boss slowly said, he finally figured out the situation here!

It turned out that as early as two years ago, the city lord here had passed away due to illness, but the Flying Emperor City, which was the main city of the Yunfei Empire, had no spare strength to send a cultivator here, and this place was relatively remote, and there had been no bandit rebellion all year round, so it was temporarily replaced by the only son of the city lord.

"What? There is such a joke! It's really embarrassing! Could it be that the people in this Leaning Star City are not under the control of his Yunfei Empire?!" Listening to this, even a person in a state of mind like Hong Liezhong became angry, after all, this kind of thing has never been heard of for thousands of years!

"My lord doesn't know, although the Heavenly Chosen Alliance is to protect Yunfei, it is not controlled by the Imperial City after all, which also causes many times, the Imperial City cultivators and the Heavenly Chosen Alliance cultivators will not have much intersection, and it seems that they are guarding against each other. ”

"Oh, why did you know that such a thing should be classified?"

Hearing this, the innkeeper looked around, then stretched his head forward a little, and said softly with his hand: "Naturally, the villain's identity should not be known, but not long ago, several Imperial City cultivators came here, and they were heard by the villain because they were drunk and spoke freely. ”

"And what exactly did they say?"

"What it is, the villain doesn't know, only heard of the Lord of Dragon Ball, the gun-wielding villain, and the monk with a stick......"

"Lord of the Dragon Balls, the wicked man with a gun, the monk with a stick......" Hearing this, Hong Liezhong's puzzled look aggravated a little again, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out what these words meant, and instead continued to ask about the main thing tonight: "Lao Hong, I came here this time, just to ask you if you know where those wicked people usually stay, or where do they gather?"

"This ...... The villain really doesn't know, but I've heard people talk about it, and I see that they seem to have been in and out of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes! It's the City Lord's Mansion! Although the current city lord is just a child, there are three guardians around him after all, and I really don't know how strong the villain is. ”

"In that case, why don't you go to the guards and tell your grievances?"

"Hey~ Those adults are intoxicated with wine every day, and they don't care about anything else except for the internal affairs of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Well, I know everything I need to know. Hong Liezhong said, looked around, and saw that the inn was empty at this time, so he casually said a word to let him rest earlier, and walked upstairs.

When he opened his door, he didn't know what he remembered, so he closed it again, and then went straight to Mo Qingyu's door and gently slammed it.

"Mo boy is asleep?"

"I can't sleep for the time being, dare to ask Senior Hong so late, but is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, but I just heard about some things, and I was very puzzled, so I wanted to talk to you. ”

When Mo Qingyu heard this answer, he hurriedly got up and got out of bed, opened the door and welcomed him in, because according to the current strength of the two of them, the night could not interfere with their vision, so they didn't light the candle.

"What did Senior Hong inquire about, so that he came to talk so late?"

"Haha, it's not anything important, but I thought it was very interesting, so I came to look for you to see what you think about it. ”

"In that case, please come back to Senior Hong one by one, and let the kid judge with you. ”

As Hong Liezhong continued to tell the information he got from the innkeeper, Mo Qingyu's eyebrows and eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and at the same time, he also grasped the most important point of this matter!
