8. Zhao Ji

In the morning, when Yi Ming was still sleeping in bed, Asano suddenly ran in and shook him awake, Yi Ming impatiently pushed Asano away with his somewhat hazy eyes. "What the hell, it's rare to get a lazy sleep......"

Asano explained. "Didn't you say today that you were going to the City Lord's Mansion with Mr. Mo? He is waiting for you now. ”

"What? didn't he go alone?" Yi Ming was already awake, and he slipped from the bed to the ground.

"I don't know, I'm just delivering the message. Asano said and walked out of the door. "I'm still busy, go first, hurry up, Mr. Mo said that if you don't hurry up, he will leave." ”

"What are you doing?" Yi Ming hurriedly dressed, washed, and then went out, but he found that he forgot to ask Mo Yixi where he was now. "Why didn't you make it clear yesterday ......"

Yesterday, I was sleeping in Wang Yan's room, and I got up so early, and asked Asano to come over to inform me, then I should be outside now, I can't go on foot, if I go by car, Red Sleeves has a special carriage to pick me up.

When he rushed outside, Mo Yixi was leaning on the carriage, holding the cat in his hand, and nodded at him, Yi Ming hurriedly climbed into the car. Mo Yixi beckoned the coachman to go to the city lord's mansion.

"Why do you want me to go, I'm not familiar with the City Lord's Mansion, and it will only get in the way in the past. Yi Ming got in the car and began to complain. "Why didn't you make it clear yesterday that I was in such a hurry. ”

"I'll take you in, and then you can solve the problem yourself, I still have business to do, I don't have time. Mo Yixi replied.

"What's your business? Don't fool me. Your business is to fall in love. ”

"It seems that your understanding of the meaning of business is too shallow, and life has no meaning except for falling in love. ”

"Okay, you have a point in what you say. ”

The carriage walked out along the avenue of Liuren Lane, and then in the lively neighborhood of Yuyang City, there were many shops on both sides of the block, most of them were hotels and inns, and then there were cloak shops, weapon shops, cloth shops, etc., the crowd of ordinary people made Yi Ming find a sense of ordinary life. Yes, this kind of place where people gather is the feeling of normal life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking and having fun, without too noble pursuits, just thinking about today is not interesting, and then welcoming the arrival of tomorrow, occasionally a little accident will make people feel very novel......

"Sometimes I think this kind of life is not bad, just like the person who sits in the restaurant and closes his eyes and basks in the sun, and there is the manager who runs a grocery store over there, but doesn't care if there is anyone in the store...... Yi Ming said suddenly.

"Hey, there's definitely something wrong with your idea, right? This is an overly precocious emotion, the people you are talking about are middle-aged uncles, and teenagers should be energetic and run towards the future. Mo Yixi corrected.

Yi Ming's unwilling counterattack. "You're also very problematic, why do you always think that teenagers should be full of energy? It's really a disgusting uncle, why do you want to intervene in the world of young people if you can't live your own uncle life well......

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the southeast of Yuyang City, it is the most magnificent building in Yuyang City, the city lord is arranged by Vientiane City to serve, when Mo Yixi left the Liuyun Sect, he once entered the City Lord's Mansion, of course, he broke through, completely to satisfy his curiosity. Now that I think about it, more than ten years have passed, and the old city lord has entered his twilight years, and I heard that his physical condition is not good.

Outside the city lord's mansion is the street, and there are people guarding outside the gate, after Yi Ming and Mo Yixi got out of the car, the guards guarding the door came over and stopped the two.

"Is there something going on?"

Yi Ming looked at Mo Yixi, thinking that this guy should have something, as long as he took it out for people to see, he would politely welcome them in.

Mo Yixi ignored his gaze and said to the guards. "Please inform your city lord, just say that a person named Mo Yixi has something to do with him. ”

"The lord of the castle doesn't see guests easily, so please go back. The guards rightly refused.

Yi Ming's eyes became disdainful, this is too unreliable, it is better to kill it like this without any preparation, it is better to take advantage of the night, with the ability of a cultivator, this district city lord's mansion is not just going to enter if you want to, and you can go out if you want to.

"Ah, the people who broke the siege are coming......" Mo Yixi looked inside the door. Yi Ming and the guards also followed his gaze, a man in his twenties dressed plainly, who seemed to be a servant next to someone of high status.

She walked over and glanced at Mo Yixi, and then whispered to the guard, who glanced at Mo Yixi clearly and motioned for him to go in. However, the guard and the maid both looked at Yi Ming with strange eyes.

"Oh, this is my apprentice. Mo Yixi said softly.

The servant didn't know what to say, so he paused for two seconds, and then turned to lead the way.

Yi Ming and Mo Yixi followed her. Yi Ming asked with some concern. "How can I find out what news I have alone?"

"That's your own problem. Mo Yixi replied in a low voice.

Yi Ming tried to remember the road he had walked, and then wanted to understand the design of the houses and corridors here, as for the sense of direction, Yi Ming had no problem, but he didn't know if he would get to the place, someone was watching him and couldn't leave, so it would be troublesome to find someone and pass the news.

After the woman who led the way took the two of them to a living room, Mo Yixi didn't know where he was taken, Yi Ming guessed that he should have gone to see an old friend, and he was put in the living room, and another teenage waitress served him with refreshments, obviously not paying too much attention to him.

Yi Ming sat in the living room, thinking in his mind that if he got this little maid, the best situation would be to be able to get information about Zhao Ji from her, but Yi Ming subconsciously felt that things seemed to be really troublesome, if Zhao Ji was not in this city lord's mansion, wouldn't it be in vain?

"Hello. Yi Ming said hello to the little maid.

The little maid smiled softly at her, but did not speak.

"I want to ask you something, do you know Zhao Ji?" Yi Ming continued.

The little maid still smiled at him, and began to clean the living room on her own.

Yi Ming thought in his heart that she couldn't hear it, and then pointed to her ear to indicate if she couldn't hear it.

The little maid suddenly put down the broom in her hand, and then glared at Yi Ming and asked. "What's wrong with you?"

Yi Mingleng paused for a moment before returning. "And ask me what's wrong? Why didn't you speak, I thought you couldn't hear. ”

"Cut, I just wanted to tease you, who knew you were so stupid. β€œ

"That ......" Yi Ming suddenly had doubts about the identity of this maid. "Who are you?"

The little maid seemed to be deliberately observing his confused appearance, and said something that confused Yi Ming. "My brother told you to wait here, and he'll be there later. β€œ

"Wait...... What kind of person is your brother?"

"Aren't you looking for Zhao Ji?"

"He's your brother?" Yi Ming didn't know where to start, this was too coincidental, but why was Zhao Ji the brother of a waitress?

"Don't think about it, your master sent a letter to my aunt last night, explaining the situation. β€œ

"Okay......" Yi Ming finally sorted out the relationship. The current old city lord has three sons and a daughter, Mo Yixi knows the daughter of the old city lord, that is, the aunt of the person in front of him, that Zhao Ji is her brother, that is, a grandson of the old city lord. He gestured with his eyes to its outfit. "Then you are ......"

"To tease you, see how you react. β€œ

"What's the point of my reaction? Besides, you don't know me, what's the point?"

"Don't you think it's as funny when people are scratching their heads like cats and dogs suddenly making stupid mistakes?" explained the little maid earnestly.

"What do you mean?" Yi Ming didn't understand her logic at all.

"Tsk, I really don't have any sense of humor, forget it......," the little maid threw the broom aside, and then took off her rustic maid's dress and placed it on a chair in the living room, with a white skirt inside. "What's your name?Are you from Yuyang City?Why are you able to become Master Mo's apprentice?"

"Why are you asking so many questions all of a sudden, why should I answer you?" Yi Ming felt that this guy was really annoying.

However, this 'little maid' is menacing. "Why? Believe it or not, I'm going to call someone to drive you away right now?!"

Yi Ming really had never seen such an unreasonable person, and he didn't know why she had such an attitude towards him, and was completely passive. He looked at her in silence, trying to find some clue so that he could have room to counterattack.

"What are you looking at? Coveting Miss Ben's beauty?"

Oh my God, who will save me, Yi Ming thought in his mind.

Just as he was thinking this, a young man in civilian clothes hurriedly walked out of the corridor. When the young man saw Yi Ming, he immediately walked towards Yi Ming, and Yi Ming greeted him with a saved look.

"Hello, I'm Yi Ming, I came this time to discuss something important with you. ”

"Uh...... Hello. The young man obviously didn't expect Yi Ming to be so active.

"Then, this person ......" Yi Ming gestured to the 'little maid' on the side with his eyes.

"Su Yuan, you should avoid it first. Zhao Yu said, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Hmph, why can't I listen, isn't it about your fiancΓ©e, this kind of thing happened to their family this time, although I don't know how she escaped, but now the only person she can ask for help is you, why didn't she come herself, please ask this unreliable kid ......"

Yi Ming was taken aback by her words, he didn't know that Lin Yin and Zhao Ji had this relationship, and she seemed to know something about this matter, and he even had the idea of 'whether this matter is related to them'.
