Chapter 224: The Selfish Side, Brotherhood
Under the overheated gaze, Ling Fei'er's seductive delicate body trembled slightly, her heart beat wildly, and her cheeks appeared crimson, but at this moment, she stubbornly did not choose to escape, but looked at Xiao Yao tenderly.
The two of them didn't speak, they just stood there quietly, as if time had stood still.
"Brother-in-law, why are you so engrossed?"
The sound of grumbling interrupted the wonderful atmosphere, Ling Fei'er came back to her senses, panicked, and wanted to go out, but found her younger brother Ling Du blocking the door and glaring angrily.
"Ahem, isn't it cool to make fun of me. ”
Seeing that the eight characters were about to be drawn, the little white-eyed wolf came to join in the fun, and Xiao Yao was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Don't unload the mill and kill the donkey, after a busy day's work, you run over to eat some leftovers when you are hungry, which also offends you. Ling Du said displeasedly.
"Ling Dashao will also save money, it's really rare, so come and eat together." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yao pretended to be calm and walked past Ling Fei'er and slowly sat down at the dining table.
Pouting, Ling Du walked in nonchalantly, waved his hand, and said, "Sister, go stew a bowl of bird's nest porridge for me." ”
"Oh, got it. ”
Ling Fei'er dodged and walked out from Ling Du's side.
Xiao Yao saw it in his eyes, and his heart was extremely angry, the little white-eyed wolf was deliberately angry with himself, and he didn't dare to be angry with himself, so he transferred his anger to Ling Fei'er.
"Now the palace master doesn't care about you, when I wave the flag to rebuild the Jiuyao Palace, I will definitely take you with me, and for you, I will set a unique set of palace rules, let's see." Xiao Yao said viciously.
"Hehe, okay, I'm so young and no one takes care of me, so let my sister be by my side when the time comes. Ling Du sneered.
"Choke you!"
grabbed the steamed buns and stuffed them into the Ling Dukou, Xiao Yao didn't pay attention to it anymore and buried himself in eating.
......
Early the next morning.
Everyone gathered in the hall, and Xiao Yao told him about yesterday's events.
For authentic things, everyone expressed their opinions, Xiao Yao could see from his observation that everyone didn't care much about this matter, after all, they were all peerless powerhouses, arrogant and awe-inspiring, and they were not interested in the unsightly things underground, and they were just to respect themselves.
Sensing this, Xiao Yao was also very helpless, so he could only force an order to let them investigate the matter.
Although the sudden appearance of a mysterious tunnel was just a small episode and did not affect anything, it aroused Xiao Yao's strong curiosity, and he wanted to know where the tunnel collapse led to.
After arranging everything, Xiao Yao came to the City Lord's Mansion, his mother and second uncle came and only completed half of the task, but as for the more than 100 brothers in Yan Ancient City, there was no follow-up, and Zhou Shun did not show up until now, talking about the specific situation, which had to make him confused.
in the hall.
Zhou Shun walked in with a smile on his face, and when he saw Xiao Yao sitting on the chair with an expressionless face, he immediately put away his smile and sat aside obediently.
"What made Brother Zhou so elated?" Xiao Yao said lightly.
"Ahem, it's not because of you. With an embarrassed smile, Zhou Shun said.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Yao said in shock: "My business? Could it be that the ancient city lord of Yan has agreed to transfer the soldiers to Qingyan City?"
Nodding, Zhou Shun said with a smile: "Money can make ghosts grind, I slapped a million taels of silver on the table, and he agreed on the spot, but so many people were taken away at once, and they couldn't be filled for a while and a half, so it will take some time to let them over." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could release people, he was not in a hurry for himself, anyway, most of them were out of affection for them in his heart, and finally decided to let them return to him.
"There's one thing I'd like to discuss with you. ”
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Zhou Shun squeezing his eyebrows, Xiao Yao was startled, whenever Zhou Shun showed this kind of expression, something bad would happen, and he immediately raised his vigilance in his heart to prevent him.
"That's right, last time you said you wanted to build an elite army, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, thinking about it repeatedly, thinking about it, you are so busy, you can't even take care of this little thing, so I took it upon myself to put things into operation in advance. Zhou Shun laughed.
Xiao Yao couldn't smile bitterly, money is a scourge, just heard Brother Zhou say that he solved the matter by taking one million taels of silver, and saved one million taels of silver at once, and before he could open his mouth to return, he directly came to a big seal, it seems that he is ready to use this money to equip the army.
"I'm going to say I don't agree?" smiled indifferently, Xiao Yao said.
"Haha, if you don't agree, you have to agree, anyway, I'm determined to fulfill my wish. Scratching his head, Zhou Shun smiled.
"Damn, where are you discussing, you are using your status as the city lord to force pressure me. With white eyes, Xiao Yao pretended to be displeased and said.
"The better the army is equipped and the more perfect, it is a good thing for us, a city has high-end power, it can be a hundred times stronger than the mansion you built. Zhou Shun said.
Xiao Yao was noncommittal, the original choice of Qingyan City as the base camp was also based on this consideration, people will have a selfish side, of course the money has to be spent on the brothers, and now he has broken away from the official, but to a certain extent, he is still confused and let the official get in.
"Whatever you want, I can only support it unconditionally. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly.
"With your words, I am relieved, I really don't know how to tell you in the house these days, so I haven't been to see you. Zhou Shun said with relief.
If you get cheap, you will sell it, Xiao Yao is also helpless, he is not willing to spend it when he makes money, he let these guys swallow it all up, the more he thinks about it, the more sad he feels.
......
A day later.
Zhan Pengfei came to Xiao Yao's room.
"Haha...... The host, haha......"
Seeing that Uncle Zhan couldn't even say everything except laughing, Xiao Yao had a confused expression.
"You drink your saliva first. Xiao Yao said helplessly.
Zhan Pengfei held back a smile, sat down, drank a few sips of water, paused, and said with a smile: "Where do you guess the tunnel leads to it?"
Frowning, Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, what's wrong with Uncle Zhan? Why is it so abnormal?
"You just say it, right?" Xiao Yao smiled.
Calming down, Zhan Pengfei smiled and said: "The sword combination is really extraordinary, the cross gang qi directly broke through the tunnel, and when we got there, hundreds of people were surrounded in an instant, haha......"
Xiao Yao's head is as big as a fight, and he has done it to other people's nests, as for being so happy? The key is that when he heard that someone was besieging him, he inevitably became a little nervous.
"Uncle Zhan, say it quickly, don't sell it. Xiao Yao said.
"Ahem, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and when we came back to our senses, we found that it was actually the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Zhan Pengfei said with a smile.
