Chapter 63: Black Pine Ridge
On the third day, Shi Le went out of the customs and summoned Shi Chong's old department in Drifting Snow City to discuss the issue of personnel appointments. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of old men stood on both sides of the council hall according to the division of civil ministers and military generals.
Schler asked everyone to introduce themselves. He treated everyone with respect and respect as an elder.
Almost all of them were placed in their official positions, and they were still allowed to perform their duties. Everyone looked at each other, and a young man who looked like a scholar stood up and said, "Since Miss Qianying came, everything must be reported to her." We can't do anything without her determination!"
Shile smiled and said, "The report will continue as before." What you were before, you will be like in the future. ”
Everyone was very happy to hear this. The scholar's name was Zheng Xiu, and he was Shi Chong's military advisor. Many of Shi Chong's suggestions for building Drifting Snow City were made by him.
Schler also had great respect for him. After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and Zheng Xiu was left behind by Shi Le to continue to discuss some matters.
The two had a long talk, which meant that they hated each other. Schle admired Zheng Xiu's various opinions.
In the past, Shi Chong also trusted Zheng Xiu when he governed Drifting Snow City, but he never gave him any real power. So Zheng Xiu's talent is far from being fully utilized.
Zheng Xiu's plan to clear the chaotic plains and restore people's livelihood was vetoed by Shi Chong. Because Shi Chong was worried that that would make Liangzhou even more uneasy about Drifting Snow City.
Shi Le didn't care so much, Zheng Xiu's suggestion was exactly what he wanted to achieve. So he immediately asked Zheng Xiu to start preparing for the governance of the Chaotic Plains. Zheng Xiu is the kind of person who has the courage to sacrifice himself for the realization of his ideals and revenge. After receiving Schler's authorization, he complained wholeheartedly to his work.
A series of innovations have been released from top to bottom in Drifting Snow City, and the non-commissioned officers in the city are very busy.
That night, Shi Le was immersed in his study reading the copy submitted by Zheng Xiu. He was very satisfied with Zheng Xiu's efficiency.
The door to the study was gently pushed open, and a woman with a graceful figure entered.
Shi Le was too focused on Zheng Xiu's copywriting just now, and he actually kept all the noise out of the matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until someone pushed the door to enter.
The person who came was Shi Chong's wife Mu Lei, that is, Mu Yingying's sister.
She was wearing a white filial piety shirt, and her thin body was a little curled, looking pitiful.
"I knocked on the door three times, and when I saw that no one answered, I came in by myself, please don't be surprised!" Mu Lei's dignified and virtuous speech and demeanor and Mu Yingying's rudeness and willfulness were like mud.
Shi Le got up in a hurry, didn't care about the tiger skin shawl falling to the ground, and first gave Murray a big salute and said, "Le, meet the young mother!"
Murray replied, "No need to be polite!" and then he stared at Shile for a long time.
Shi Le had a lot of guilt for Shi Chong's family. But it wasn't his decision. Now he just wants to repay them with his own kindness.
"Brother!" a small head protruded through the door. Shi Yingxuan was timidly lying on the door frame and looking inside.
A "brother!" reminded Shi Le of a whisper. He was a little sad, and kindly beckoned to Shi Yingxuan to let her in.
Shi Yingxuan tiptoed to Shi Le's side and looked at him. Shi Le also examined the little girl carefully. He found that although the little girl was not particularly pretty, she was very cute. Her eyes are so pure that you can't help but want to smile at her.
Shi Le squatted down and looked at Shi Yingxuan, then gently scratched the tip of her nose and said, "Your name is Yingxuan, right?"
Shi Yingxuan nodded vigorously and said, "Brother, are you here to protect us?"
Shiler didn't know what he was hearing!
Shi Yingxuan continued: "Ever since that bad sister came, she always bullied my mother and me. My aunt told me that when my brother came back, no one would dare to bully us!"
Shi Le knew that Qian Ying used the means of thunder strike when he entered Drifting Snow City, and it was inevitable that some discordant things would happen. However, since he recognized the identity of the city lord of Drifting Snow City, of course, he would never let anyone here be bullied again.
He picked up Shi Yingxuan and said, "With me, I won't let anyone bully you!"
Shi Yingxuan happily hugged Shi Le after hearing this.
Mu Lei had prepared a lot of questions to ask Shile, but he had to give up when he saw the current situation. She briefly exchanged a few words with Shi Le and left with Shi Yingxuan!
After Murray left, Qianying came to see her again. Shi Le always sensed that Qianying was hiding something from him. But Qianying didn't say it, and he didn't ask. He was waiting for Qianying to confess to him.
"Master!" Qianying bowed down in front of Shile.
"Get up, don't be too formal! Schler said.
Qianying has come to discuss the fight for Scorpion Island's power in various parts of Kyushu. She repeatedly reminded Shi Le that as long as he found the Qiankun Ring, he would be able to make the helmsmen of all regions of Kyushu surrender without blood.
Shi Le hadn't decided whether to expose the Qiankun Ring for the identity of the leader of Scorpion Island. He arranged for Qianying to contact the various helmsmen of Scorpion Island to find an opportunity to sit down and talk.
Qianying was very puzzled when she heard this, and said in her heart, is this a problem that can be solved by talking?
She was about to argue, but Shile interrupted her and said, "Go down first! I'm tired!"
Qianying didn't dare to resist, so she had to retreat.
At night, Shile continued to meditate and practice, and did not take a nap until dawn.
In the early hours of the morning, the guards hurriedly came to report: "Miss Mu Yingying has returned to the city!"
When Shi Le heard this, he hurriedly got up and hurried to Mu Lei's courtyard to see Mu Yingying.
The City Lord's Mansion is huge, occupying about one-third of the area of Drifting Snow City. The ladies live in a separate garden. Because this garden is in the west of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone calls it Xiyuan.
Shi Le hurried to the West Garden. Murray hurried out to greet him.
"Where is Yingying?" asked Mu Lei directly, ignoring etiquette.
Mu Lei was a little surprised by Shiler's performance: "Ying Ying came back alone, and the horse team she led was wiped out!"
"I already knew that! Did she come back with a fat monk?" asked Shile.
When Mu Lei heard this, she said with some anger: "How can she, a yellow flower girl, get involved with a monk?"
Shi Le speculated that Xingkong must not have come to Drifting Snow City. He said, "Tell Ying Ying to come out to me!"
Mu Lei pointed to a daughter's room behind her and said, "She has come all the way back to the dust, and she is now bathing and changing!"
Shi Le didn't care about it and walked directly to the daughter's room.
Mu Lei opened her mouth in surprise and shouted, "What are you going to do!"
Shi Le came to the door, put one hand on the door, turned back to Mu Lei, and said, "Watch my aunt take a bath!"
Most of the people in the West Garden heard this, and they instantly felt like petrified.
"Crunch-" The door was pushed open, and Shile stepped inside. Behind a mica screen, the incense mist is swirling, and the water is gurgling.
Mu Yingying was lying in a huge stone bathtub. Behind her is the hot spring water that comes from underground, and it is very comfortable to soak in it.
There was a maid who was combing Mu Yingying's long hair. When the maidservant saw Shile suddenly push the door in, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out.
Mu Yingying stretched out a wet head from behind the screen and looked at Shi Le, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you dead?"
Shi Le was not in the mood to explain too much, he suddenly grabbed Mu Yingying in front of him and asked, "Where is the void?"
Mu Yingying was only wearing a transparent red gauze belly pocket, and her whole body was drenched. She didn't even feel a little shy, and said boldly: "Can you let me put on my clothes." ”
Shile was aware of his gaffe. He let go of his hand and said, "It's fine!" and pushed it outside the screen to wait.
Mu Yingying complained: "What kind of person! The old lady is still done washing!" She jumped into the tub again.
"If you don't come out again, I'll go in!" said Shile angrily.
"Come in, come in!" Mu Yingying shouted angrily.
Suddenly she stopped screaming, because Shile had come to the tub and was looking at her.
Mu Yingying was a little red-faced. She asked, "You want incest?"
Shi Le scratched his ears and cheeks angrily and said, "I said, Auntie, can you be more serious and tell me how Xingkong is doing!" ”
Mu Yingying nodded and said, "Okay! Xingkong thought you were dead, and hated the Holy Son and the Lightless Mage of the Wushan Sect. He wanted to teach them a lesson, so he just-"
"How?" asked Schle.
Mu Yingying continued to talk about their experiences after they were separated from Shile.
It turned out that after Xingkong left Luoxia Town, he met the eighteen Arhats of Hongluo Temple the next day. Xingkong appeared and took advantage of his identity as a disciple of the back mountain of Hongluo Temple, and ordered the eighteen Arhats to return to Hongluo Temple immediately. And let them send an order to the entire Hongluo Temple not to be an enemy of Drifting Snow City.
The Eighteen Arhats were transferred by the Lightless Mage to deal with Shile, and now their sudden return naturally alarmed the Lightless Mage. He immediately returned with Bai Liu'er along the way to volley into the air.
Xingkong took Mu Yingying and was blocked in a valley by the Lightless Mage. The enemy was very red when he saw him, and Xingkong had the idea of revenge to fight against the strong enemy alone.
But his limited strength couldn't hurt Mage Wuguang and Bai Liu'er after all, but was entangled by them.
Xingkong used the Great Hand Seal, enchantment, and teleportation charms to save the day every time. But Bai Liu'er's bald eagle had already identified Xingkong and Mu Yingying. Wherever they fled, they were soon discovered by bald eagles.
This is also due to the fact that Xingkong uses a low-grade teleportation symbol, and the teleportation distance is limited.
The Lightless Mage calculated that they were going back to Drifting Snow City, and was always waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. Bai Liu'er kept driving them into the encirclement behind.
Xingkong had to take into account Mu Yingying's indemnity and was forced by the enemy to be overstretched everywhere. He and Mu Yingying fled all the way, far away from the way back to Drifting Snow City.
That's why Shile didn't see them on the road.
Xingkong consumed a lot of spirit runes in order to avoid them. He found that he only had the last teleportation talisman left, so he decided to send Mu Yingying back to Drifting Snow City first. And he himself continued to engage the enemy outside the city.
Mage Wuguang and Bai Liu'er had already heard from Xingkong that Shi Le had died in the fire of Luoxia Town. They won't be in a hurry to deal with Drifting Snow City!
After hearing this, Shile asked, "Where are you separated from Xingkong?"
Mu Yingying said: "There are more than 30 Black Pine Ridges in the south of the city!"
Shi Le didn't ask a word and got up to leave, and flew out of the city to the Black Pine Ridge.
