Chapter 9: Arriving in Moonlight City, Sudden Troubles
Accompanied by powerful immortal cultivators, everyone's hearts felt stable. They are still cautious, and unconsciously, the pace is steady, revealing their confidence.
In the next two days, there were no strange insects and major pests, and occasionally some demon beasts that stood in the way appeared in the way, and they were also attacked by them, and finally fell into their hands and became three meals a day.
The days of fear came to an end in the light of the moving dawn, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But the team leader, Li Shuyu, did not give them a chance to breathe, but sped up his pace and rushed to Moonlight City. Moonlight City, it's ......
The answer was a one-eyed man, tall and thin like a bamboo pole, dressed in neat gray clothes, and his complexion was the color of pig liver that only ordinary people can have when they lose color, but from one of his shining eyes, it can be seen that he is very healthy.
He curled up and stayed silently in the corner of the city gate, revealing a depressing aura all over his body. People passing by him on the edge of the city made a detour.
He saw the crowd not far away, and after a flash of light in one eye, he walked over with a step, and did not make a sound during the process, like a ghost.
"Your Majesty, by order of the lord of the city, invites you to enter the city. The one-eyed man seemed to have a bad voice, and the sound in his hoarse throat was very unpleasant.
"Li Shuyu, the leader of the law enforcement team, thank you for the love of the city lord. Team leader Li Shuyu heard the one-eyed man's words and greeted him with a smile.
"Please come with me. The one-eyed man bent down and stretched out his palms sideways, signaling for everyone to enter the city.
In this team, everyone felt uncomfortable because of the one-eyed man's figure, and the atmosphere became depressing. There are only two people who are not like this, one is the team leader Li Shuyu, who is smiling generously and speaking to the one-eyed man without saying a word. The second is the black-robed man, because under the cover of the black robe, I can't see what his expression is, but his steps are casual, just like shopping, and he takes a sip of wine from time to time, so uncomfortable.
In just two days, the black-robed Yi Xie can be said to be surrounded by stars, admired by everyone, and a girl laughed with him.
Feeling the warm breath around her, Chu Yueling's heart slowly stabilized because she was scattered by the one-eyed man.
"Hey, hero, this old man is very strange, can you see his cultivation?" asked in a low voice to the black-robed Yi Evil Frost. In the past two days, she has been the most frequent in the black-robed person. Fortunately, the beauty is like jade, and there is no need to feel irritable.
The walking black robe was easy to be evil, and at the request of the slightly frosty girl, after sweeping two glances at the one-eyed man, he stretched out his left index finger and hit the girl in front of her eyes.
He ...... Ben Gongzi can't see it. Then he stopped talking.
"Ahh Very disappointed, he said, "You can't see it." ”
"Hey, hero, speak. ”
“......”
"They're all weirdos. ”
Moonlight City is very large, running more than forty miles from north to south, but fortunately, the city gate they entered was the closest to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was like this. They also traveled for a while in the carriage.
As soon as the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened, golden light poured into everyone's eyes like a sea, and the golden brilliance was about to blind their eyes.
At first, the gate was solemn and simple, and the lord of the city was also a literati. How can this city lord's mansion be particularly cheesy, every brick and tile is made of gold, and the huge contrast has caused everyone to sigh.
The look of everyone looking east and west fell into the eyes of the team leader Li Shuyu, and I didn't know that a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He looked unmoved, with a one-eyed man by his side, and he walked generously in the front.
"Wow! "Wow!" the girl almost jumped to her feet, clasping her cheeks with her hands and shouting loudly.
But the black-robed Yi Xie and Chu Yueling beside him did not waver. The frosty girl didn't care about the black-robed person at this time, grabbed Chu Yueling's wrist, and whispered in Chu Yueling's ear: "Look, this is all gold, while they are not paying attention, let's take two pieces." ”
"Don't make a fuss. Chu Yueling was very helpless when she saw the girl with golden light in her eyes, and when she heard the girl's words, she immediately dissuaded her.
"What's there. The girl rolled her eyes and continued to indulge in the gold that filled the ground. "With so much gold as a city government, I want to come to this city lord is also generous, take him two I don't think the city lord will blame us." ”
"Hahaha, what the little girl said is right, if you have those two, it doesn't matter, this city lord is not short of this!"
The girl's voice was also heard by Chu Yueling and the black-robed Yi Xie beside her, who would have thought that there was a sudden laughter in the hall in front of her, and everyone was stunned, only to see a figure walking out.
The sun shone on this man, he was dressed in yellow, with gold threads tattooed on it, thick eyebrows and big eyes on his square face, and from time to time a sinister aura emanated from his eyes.
"City lord, when the people arrive, the slaves retreat. When the one-eyed man saw the man come out, he bowed and bowed, and when he had finished speaking, he went away on his own.
"Those who are looking forward to the stars and the moon are looking forward to you, can you be regarded as looking forward to you?"
"City Lord, you said I could take the gold, right?" Everyone was about to go in, but the girl jumped to the front, that is, next to Li Shuyu, with a pair of Danfeng eyes shining with stars.
"Of course!" The city lord was stunned by the girl's question, and said with a smile: "But this broken brick is too buried, and I will call someone to get some good ones for this little girl!"
"Slightly frosty, thank you city lord yet. Li Shuyu smiled at the girl in time, but felt a little uncomfortable. He had just heard the impudent girl's request, and he was already stunned. I was just about to make amends to the city lord, who would have thought that the city lord would say this.
"Thank you, Lord Castle!" the girl shouted with the lord's consent, and jumped up and down her wonderful body, so unhappy.
Everyone came to the main hall and sat down, and after a short silence, Li Shuyu got up, hugged his fists at the city lord and said: "Under Li Shuyu, on the order of the law enforcer, I specially came here to help the city lord." ”
"Okay! good name!" The city lord heard Li Shuyu's name, but he didn't have any other expression, and praised loudly. You must know that he just sent away a team of people three days ago, and one of them was named Li Shuhan.
"Alas. The city lord slapped the tea case with a big palm, and was very angry. "My Moonlight City is suddenly in chaos, alas. With that, he let out another long sigh.
"This time, I came here to solve the problems of the city lord. After Li Shuyu sighed in the city lord, Lang smiled.
"Solve problems?" The city lord's thick eyebrows were twisted together, and Li Shuyu didn't understand, did he say something wrong?
This is a good word, a literati is a literati, and the lord of this city can't say this!" The city lord tasted it carefully a few times, and then praised it.
"The city lord laughed!" Li Shuyu clapped his hands to show his resignation. He said with a straight face: "I still hope that the city lord will tell him the information, and we can help the city lord solve problems." ”
"Okay!" the city lord didn't say much, he said bluntly: "Those people have been swept up by the city lord's guards, and there are still half of them, but my guards have also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, their strength has retreated, and you can clean it up if you want to come. ”
Everyone listened attentively, and when they learned that more than half of the guards had been killed or wounded, they were all afraid.
You must know that the city lord's guards, twenty or thirty people, although there are not many people, they have the strength of the three-turn jade spirit level. They have only turned around for the second time, so how can they not be afraid? Knowing that this group of people has retreated greatly in cultivation, their hearts have stabilized a little.
Obviously, the city lord's guards and the group of people were both defeated, and the city lord wanted to pledge them all, but the guards had no strength. Only then did the law enforcers be mobilized to calm down the matter.
"But ......" the city lord's words changed, and it was a little difficult to speak.
"But what?" asked Li Shuyu.
"However, there is still trouble for the little guys, that group of people have already escaped from the city by taking this opportunity. So......" The lord of the castle stopped again in the middle of his words.
"It's okay!" Li Shuyu waved his hand and said confidently: "I have to have some skills, I can go and tell the city lord." ”
"The lord of the city told him. ”
At this time, everyone stood up and asked for their lives, and that group of people was just a remnant of the defeated army, and for them, although it was necessary to waste some strength, they could also be captured. You must know that if you catch a person of the third rank of the Jade Spirit Level, you can get better cultivation resources.
It's really a good thing to come this time, and the team leader is really a good person.
This is the voice of the people.
"Good!" The momentum exuded by everyone made the city lord greatly admired. "Since everything has been said about this part, the lord of this city will not say anything. The spies of this city lord reported that they set off from the south gate of Moonlight City, three hundred miles away from here, and that was where these people landed. ”
"Definitely, live up to the expectations of the city lord!" Li Shuyu frowned, full of heroism.
"Okay, then let the lord of this city entertain you and pick up the wind for you......"
The city lord got up and put his thick hand on Li Shuyu's neck, like a brother. The city lord said again, and he couldn't think of the next words.
"I don't dare to catch the wind and wash the dust, the city lord has a heart. Li Shuyu's words were just right, and he said the words for the city lord.
"You just look down on the city lord, there are enough big fish and big meat!" The city lord took advantage of the situation, and he was in a good mood, and strode out of the door with Li Shuyu in his arms.
"The city lord is serious, but it's too late for me to admire, but there is still one more thing to do. Li Shuyu first flattered the city lord, but there was a change of words, and he looked very serious.
"Oh, what's the matter?" the lord of the city was stunned, everything was over, what else was the matter?
I saw Li Shuyu looking sideways at the crowd, there was a person there, no matter what they said, this person was just silent and didn't move.
"It's him!" Li Shuyu shouted. At this time, there was no trace of gratitude in his eyes, his eyes scraped at the person in the corner, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Following Li Shuyu's gaze, everyone was already blinded, wasn't that their savior?
"Me?" Yi Xie, who was drinking wine, saw that everyone was looking at him, he took a slap in his hand, and raised his hand to point to himself.
"That's right, it's you. Li Shuyu said coldly: "The city lord said that he also came to Moonlight City, although he saved me, but no matter how he asked, this person refused to reveal the slightest bit of information, I want to see it, he must have some conspiracy, so I brought it to the city lord in front of him, and hoped that the city lord would investigate it strictly." ”
After speaking, Li Shuyu clenched his fists with both hands and looked at the city lord with righteous words.
That's right, that's what he wants, he wants to get rid of the black robe Yi Xie, and there is a ruthless look hidden in his low gaze.
It was difficult for everyone to accept it for a while. But according to what Li Shuyu said, it is not unreasonable. What's more, they are all people named by Li Shuyu, and today they got a great sweetness because of him. On the other hand, they are their own saviors, so they have been silent for a long time.
The two girls on the side, that is, Weishuang and Chu Yueling. At this time, Weishuang had already gritted her teeth and stared at this sanctimonious Li Shuyu, but she didn't say anything. On the other hand, Chu Yueling's beautiful eyes were full of panic, and her hands were unconsciously stirring her dress, her beautiful eyes were certain, and she made up her mind.
"Little lame, what do you mean?" Just as Chu Yueling was about to speak, the black robe was easy to move. He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his seat under the gaze of everyone, and his words were frivolous and not at all confused.
The black-robed man insulted Li Shuyu so much that Li Shuyu's eyelids jumped, he didn't laugh angrily, this smile was only visible to the black-robed man, because Li Shuyu was facing away from everyone.
Why don't you tell the city lord in private? Whoever makes the identity of the black robe easy to evil arouse suspicion, even if Li Shuyu's arrogant appearance is not too much. And he has the city lord to rely on, he just wants the black-robed man to smash the black-robed man's tallness in front of the public.
The scene was embarrassing for a while, except for the ridicule of the black-robed Yi Xie, there was no more sound, and everyone was waiting for the city lord to speak.
"Really?" The smile on the city lord's face disappeared, and he looked at the black-robed man in confusion. "This city lord doesn't matter who you are! With you saving them, you'd better tell who you are now. ”
People who have intentions for Moonlight City, as the City Lord of Moonlight City, naturally will not have a good face.
Everyone looked at the black-robed man with bated breath, thinking that they also wanted to see the black-robed man. Chu Yueling's belly was already white.
"Alas. The black-robed Yi Xie sighed lightly for no reason. For Li Shuyu's difficulty, he really didn't expect that this child would have eyes the size of a grain of rice.
Now, he only has one thing to talk about, what is it?
That's right, it's that map, the map that hides the news of the Gathering Spirit Orbs. Pretending to be here to offer a picture, although it is abrupt, it is also said in the past.
Having made up his mind, he slowly reached into his clothes.
But just such an action made the vigilant Li Shuyu instinctively retreat a little. He had seen the strength of the black-robed man, and even as long as the black-robed man was willing, he could be killed with a few moves. So even if there was a city lord by his side, he still retreated!
"Little lame, what are you afraid of. The black-robed Yi Xie noticed Li Shuyu's slight trembling, he didn't expect that this Li Shuyu would be so afraid of him.
"You!" Li Shuyu's face was as pale as dirt, but he was suddenly speechless. The retreat made him very ashamed.
"The city lord gave you three numbers, do you want to say it?" The city lord didn't want to be in the ink, so he directly stretched out three fingers and pointed them at the black-robed man.
"Three. "The city lord said.
"II. One of the city lord's fingers was withdrawn, leaving two.
The black-robed Yi Xie didn't make a sound, and still searched in his arms with his hands.
Everyone also stared at this moment with bated breath, and their hearts moved with the order of the city lord.
"One. The last finger of the city lord fell, and suddenly a huge cold murderous aura came out from the city lord.
At this moment, everyone's faces were solemn, and they struggled to resist the murderous aura with cultivation.
At this moment, there were two worried glances.
At this moment, there was also Li Shuyu's sarcastic face.
"Actually......"
"Daddy, you're here, it's a hospitality...... Benefactor?"
The murderous aura suddenly disappeared. It wasn't because of Yi Xie's opening, but because of a woman's voice outside the hall.
Everyone's tense hearts were relieved, and they realized that in order to kill the murderous aura of the city lord, they were already sweating profusely.
The voice followed, and a petite figure marched into the main hall. The person who came was a woman, her delicate face covered by a thin veil, and she was twenty-eight years old. is small, wearing a moon-white dress, revealing a pair of big eyes and a delicate face, which is very moving.
The woman suddenly came to the temple, she first looked at the city lord, and then a pair of big eyes fell on the black-robed man's body and did not move.
Seeing such a scene, she was stunned at first, and then hugged the developed arm of the city lord, smiling like a flower. "Daddy, remember when I told you that someone rescued me in the woods, this is the man. ”
"Remember, it's him. The city lord glanced at his daughter dotingly, and pointed to the black robe.
"Yes, Daddy, it's him, he was in this black robe at the beginning, I naturally won't admit it. The woman affirmed, and before the lord could say anything more, she tugged at the lord's arm. "Daddy, can you let me catch up with him, rest assured, he won't hurt me. ”
The last sentence completely sealed the city lord, but the city lord's father-in-law Xu Gao's people really had nothing to do about his daughter's coquettishness.
In this way, Yi Xie, under the leadership of the woman, took a step ahead of everyone and left the main hall.
The sudden reversal of the situation turned out and everyone was mindless. It can be said that some people are happy and some are sad, and everyone has no expression. And Li Shuyu looked at the black-robed man who flew away, and he was already so angry that he was about to explode.
Chu Yueling's heart was also relieved, but she thought about it again, why did the black-robed man know the city lord's daughter.
"Ahh "That is the daughter of the city lord, since the black-robed man is her savior, that is my savior, don't talk about him, go, the city lord has already prepared a banquet. ”
He couldn't help but hug Li Shuyu and left, leaving everyone looking at each other, and finally followed.
"Let's go, I'm thinking about the black-robed man again, are you in love with him?" The frosty girl regained her previous agility, and pulled Chu Yueling to move forward, but she didn't forget to tease her.
"Hell, Dead Nizi!" Chu Yueling was angry.
"Alas, he's fine, maybe he can mix with the son-in-law of the city lord, you have to be careful. The frosty girl danced in front of Chu Yueling.
Chu Yueling couldn't resist such a flirtation, and she began to pinch the waist of the frosty girl. At the same time, a hint of depression flashed in his eyes.
"Let you speak ill of me. ”
"Let's go, the food will be cold for a while, and you will have stomach trouble if you eat it." ”
