23.Chapter 23 The Fat City Lord's Plea for Help
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, I am afraid that this ingot silver ingot will not weigh a hundred taels, even if it is more than thirty taels according to the best wine and dish, isn't the rest his reward?
The smile on his face was full of smiles, and he left the room with a thousand thanks, and in a short time the dishes with an enticing aroma were served one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ha, this is life!" A sip of wine, a mouthful of food, Sun Li and the brothers ate so happily, Sun Li shook his head and sighed, the purpose of his desperate cultivation to improve his strength is to change the fate of his eldest brother, to be able to gallop freely between this heaven and earth, ascetic like a monk for so many years, finally can relax and relax, eat a beautiful meal, this feeling is really refreshing!
Sun Li and the two of them were in the private room near the window, looking down from the open window, facing a river flowing through the city, on the arched bridge on the river, a group of soldiers surrounded by a fat man in gorgeous clothes hurried towards this side, almost trotting into the restaurant.
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper all recognized that this fat man was Shangguan Yu, the city lord of Yunxiang City, and their faces changed when they were flattered, and they didn't understand how the dignified Shangguan City Lord could come to their small shop, and he still had such a sweaty and anxious look.
"Lord City Lord, what are you ......" the shopkeeper asked cautiously with a smiling face, and was interrupted by Shangguan Yu waving his hand before he could finish speaking.
"Where are the two masters who just came?" Shangguan Yu wiped the sweat beads from his face and asked urgently.
"High ...... "The shopkeeper was stunned, what was the city lord talking about?
"It's the two masters who just came in!" Shangguan Yu stomped his feet and pulled over a soldier next to him, who was the city gate guard who was thinking about his report, and ordered, "You come on!"
"That's the ......" the guard cleared his throat with a dry cough, and briefly recounted what happened at the city gate as quickly as he could, focusing on the physical appearance and dress of Sun Li and the others.
"Yes, it's the two masters he said, someone has seen them enter your restaurant, take the official to meet them!" Shangguan Yu hurriedly urged without waiting for the guard's voice to fall.
"This, this...... I ......" The shopkeeper's head was also sweating, and he had never seen the two people the guard said, so how could he lead the way?
"Shopkeeper, this ...... This seems to be talking about the two guests in the private room on the third floor, the two who ordered a lot of wine and food......" The shopkeeper whispered to the side.
Shangguan Yu's ears stood up suddenly, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper: "Quick, take me to meet them!"
The shopkeeper grinned for a while, but he didn't dare to scream, and forcibly took Shangguan Yu and his party to the door of the private room where Sun Li and the two of them were on the third floor, and pointed to the door with a bitter face: "Those two distinguished guests are inside!"
Shangguan Yu let go of the shopkeeper's hand, took two deep breaths at the door, stabilized his rapid breathing, and then raised his hand to knock on the door, but before his hand touched the door, the door opened automatically, and a voice came out from inside: "Is it the city lord? Please come in!"
With the strength of Sun Li and the others, they were aware of it as early as when Shangguan Yu stepped into the restaurant, and the content of their conversation was also heard clearly, and Sun Li knew in his heart that it was Sun Wukong's performance in front of the city gate that attracted Shangguan Yu.
Although the movement made by Sun Wukong at the gate of the city was very big, it was only awe-inspiring at most, Shangguan Yu, as the city lord, ran over like this, and looked in a hurry, Sun Li was sure that he definitely had something to ask for, and it was a big trouble that power and wealth could not solve.
Shangguan Yu looked at the automatically opened door and was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed with surprise and hope, he saw that Sun Li and Sun Wukong were sitting in front of the dining table by the window, two feet away from the door, there was no one else except them, and the guess in his heart became more and more affirmed.
These two people are by no means ordinary people! Maybe they can really help him solve the big trouble in front of him!
As soon as he thought of this, Shangguan Yu looked at Sun Li and the two of them with a little more fiery color, and after tidying up their clothes, Shangguan Yu waved his hand to the guards and motioned for them to wait outside, and walked into the private room alone to the table, and bowed deeply to Sun Li and the two: "Shangguan Yu, the city lord of Yunxiang City, has seen two immortals!"
Sun Li looked at Shangguan Yu with interest and said with a smile: "How do you know that we are Shangxian? Maybe we are just ordinary Jianghu martial artists?"
Shangguan Yu's eyes lit up again when he heard this, Sun Li had already admitted that they were immortals, and his expression was even more respectful at the moment: "When I look at the two immortals, they are ordinary people, although Shangguan Yu is a mortal person, he thinks that he still has a little vision!"
Sun Li's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, this fat city lord's vision is indeed good, thinking that in addition to them, he should have had contact with other cultivators, looking at the respectful look on his face, Sun Li became more and more sure that he must have something to ask the two of them for help, and I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter!
"Okay, Shangguan City Lord, my two brothers are just passing by, they won't stay here for long, if you have anything, it's best to tell me directly!" Shaking his head with a smile, Sun Li said lightly.
"I'm ......," Shangguan Yu opened his mouth.
"If you have something to ask for, think about the reward first, our brother won't shoot in vain!" Without waiting for Shangguan Yu to say it, Sun Li preemptively said.
"......" Shangguan Yu wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to compliment Sun Li and the two of them a few words, say good things, and then say his request again, so that Sun Li and the two might agree to help for the sake of face, but now it's good, the words have not been said before they can be blocked!
"Shangxian really knows how to laugh......" Shangguan Yu laughed.
"I'm not joking!" Sun Li drank all the wine in the cup and said lightly, "I know you have something to ask for, it just so happens that our brothers are not in a hurry to leave now, and it doesn't hurt to help you by the way, but as I just said, we will never act in vain, if you want to ask for help, you must pay the corresponding price, as for whether the price you pay can impress us, it depends on your sincerity!"
"That's right!" Sun Wukong had been busy dealing with the food on the table, his mouth was full of stuffs, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth and nodded in agreement.
After Sun Li finished speaking, he no longer looked at Shangguan Yu, turned his eyes to the window, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the window while drinking wine and food.
Shangguan Yu sighed a little helplessly, although the cultivators he met before were all high-minded, they had an excellent face, flattered and said a few good words to get things done, where are they like these two, one mouth is remuneration and benefits?
But Shangguan Yu can't help it, if he doesn't solve the big problem in front of him, I'm afraid that he, the city lord, will come to an end, and the reward will be paid, and pay the price to solve the problem, which is actually very fair!
Comforting himself in his heart, Shangguan Yu gritted his teeth and took out a palm-sized disc-shaped jade from his arms, the jade surface was crystal clear, and the whole showed a spiral pattern, exuding a faint blue light, which looked quite magnificent.
Sun Li suddenly turned his head, his eyes were firmly fixed on the jade in Shangguan Yu's hand, and at the moment when Shangguan Yu took out the jade rhyme, the branches of the Seven Treasure Miao Tree that had been silent in his body suddenly reacted, and bursts of fluctuations representing longing and desire continued to emanate.
Regarding the question of how to cultivate the branches of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, Patriarch Bodhi did not give Sun Li any advice to the two of them, but only vaguely mentioned that a large number of treasures need to be consumed.
No matter how good the baby is, it will be useless if you don't use it, Sun Wukong heard that it was so difficult, so he waved his hand and directly threw the branch of the Qibao Miao Tree to Sun Li, and said that good things should be given to his brother, in fact, Sun Li knew that he was just afraid of trouble.
Since he got the branches of this Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree, Sun Li has been placing it in the dantian to conceive, and there has never been any special reaction, today is the first time that this kind of strange fluctuation has occurred, and the jade in the hands of this fat city lord is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Retracting his gaze, Sun Li coughed lightly and said lightly: "Shangguan City Lord, let's be straightforward, what is the matter with our brother?"
Shangguan Yu was originally a little apprehensive, afraid that Sun Li and the others would not look down on him and refuse to help, but when he heard Sun Li say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he glanced left and right and said respectfully: "It's not convenient to talk here, please follow me to the mansion to talk in detail!"
"Do you have any good food in your house?" asked Sun Wukong as he raised his head and picked his teeth.
"Of course, of course! There are many delicious foods, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and strange fairy fruits, which are guaranteed to satisfy Shangxian!" Shangguan Yu wiped his sweat.
"That's okay, as long as there is something delicious!Second brother, let's take a trip!" Sun Wukong wiped his mouth and stood up, Sun Li shook his head speechlessly, how could this great sage not care about anything when he heard that he was eating, really, he didn't seem to be so greedy in the original book!
However, Sun Li also knew that there were many people in the restaurant, and it was indeed not a place to talk, not to mention that Shangguan Yu was still the city lord of this Yunxiang City, which was extremely attention-grabbing, so he nodded at Shangguan Yu and said, "Okay, then disturb Shangguan City Lord!"
The City Lord's Mansion is located on the edge of a horse farm in the west of the city, backed by green mountains, next to the horse farm and a big lake, the scenery is extremely beautiful, Shangguan Yu did not lead Sun Li and the two into the City Lord's Mansion, but came to a pavilion on the horse farm.
Under Shangguan Yu's orders, soon, plates of immortal fruits with various delicacies and flavors were brought out of the city lord's mansion one after another, and the stone table of the pavilion was filled.
