Chapter 24 Jingyang City Birthday Banquet
Jingyang City is named after the wonder of sunrise and the beauty of sunset.
Walking into the city, the three of them looked at the lights on the street and were full of doubts.
"Why, is today such a great day, so lively?" Looking at those prints and lanterns, Lin Yan wondered.
Immediately after the illusory Relu, she thought about it, shook her head, and said, "No, I remember that today is not an important holiday." ”
The illusion saw some clues from the faces of those passers-by: "The expressions of these people did not show any joy, but on the contrary, there was some resentment. ”
got a reminder of the illusion, but Lian Lu and Lin Yan also found out, they were all puzzled why this was so?
"Ask someone!"
"Let's go to the inn, it's a crowded place, and it's the best place to ask for news. ”
Hearing Lianlu's proposal, Lin Yan agreed, only to sigh with a phantom: "You're greedy again!"
"Well, the little monk is not allowed to expose others. ”
......
In the inn, the three of them sat in the corner, Lin Yan held a teacup in his hand, but his ears were listening carefully to the conversations of the people around him.
Phantom also has no desire to eat, sitting upright, looking straight ahead, only Mercy Lu is constantly holding the food, and has long forgotten what the purpose of coming here is.
It is true that the inn is the fastest place to inquire about the news, and it didn't take long for the three of them to sit down and hear what they wanted.
"Do you say that this city lord wants such a big pomp in his life, isn't this embarrassing for us ordinary people!"
A man at the table next to him who seemed to be rough complained bitterly, his mouth full of complaints.
"Hey, be quiet, if the city guards hear this, you're afraid you'll have to be whipped. The people on the side hurriedly persuaded and looked around, but they were relieved that they didn't find the city guards.
"Hmph, I have been beaten with a whip, and I have less whips; in the spring of this year, the lord of the city actually ordered all the forests outside the city to be stationed with troops, so that we hunters can make a living, I secretly hunted a few pheasants and was also caught and beaten, and said that what is the city lord's generosity, did not take my life, I ......"
Spit out a mouthful of saliva, but it scared his companion a lot.
"Say less, say less, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”
Fearing that the hunter was saying something, the man kept putting food in his bowl.
"Hey, I heard that this time the city lord seems to have captured a woman, right? The hunter continued to ask, however, with a temper that was not afraid of heaven and earth.
His companion secretly complained bitterly, regretting that he had come out with him, shaking his head and explaining, "It's a demon girl, a demon girl." ”
"Where is the demon girl, I heard that it was our city lord who fell in love with the woman's beauty, but the woman was too resolute to obey, and the city lord wanted to burn her in front of everyone......"
"Shh
His companion hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the door of the inn with fearful eyes.
Three soldiers in black armor walked in at the door, surveying the people in the inn, and the crowd, which had been lively before, fell silent.
"Listen, today is the city lord's birthday banquet, and all the consumption in the inn is free;
Some of the cringe-cating bosses had to nod behind the counter, with a bitter look on their faces, without the slightest joy.
Seeing the boss's expression, Lin Yan was puzzled, I don't know why the boss's expression was so painful.
It wasn't until the soldier left that Lin Yan understood.
Most of the diners intuitively put the money on the table and left.
The hunter and his companion next to Lin Yan also got up and left, put the money on the counter when they passed by the boss, and sighed:
"Shopkeeper, that's all we can help, and everyone knows that the so-called city lord please eat is just asking you shopkeepers to pay for it. ”
Lin Yan, who got the answer, sighed, thinking that the city lord was not a good person!
"What should I do next?" Lin Yan's gaze looked at the illusion.
Phantom really looked at Lianlu, who was still eating seriously, thinking that she knew what she said.
"What else can I do, of course, is to show the city lord the power of our 'Red Dust Three'!"
"You actually listened?" Lin Yan was surprised.
"You think I'm here to eat!"
Looking at the almost clean plates on the table, Lin Yan muttered, "Isn't it?"
"You talk a lot. Pity Lu, who was exposed by Lin Yan, replied unhappily.
Seeing the two arguing, Huan Zhen hurriedly said, "Okay, let's rush to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to cause this disaster to that girl." ”
"Okay, let's 'Red Dust Three Heroes' teach this Jingyang City Lord a lesson!"
The words of the three of them were frightened enough by the shopkeeper, and they looked at them like they were looking at madmen.
In the Jingyang City Mansion, the red lanterns have long been hung high, and the endless stream of people are filled with a happy smile, which is completely opposite to the scene outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The birthday banquet was arranged at noon, and it was still close to an hour, and everyone was walking around casually, talking and laughing with the family they wanted to climb.
In front of a remote room, there were soldiers standing nervously on guard.
Inside the house, a man in a purple robe smiled at the iron cage in front of him, and the smile was full of evil intent and ****.
"I really don't want to, you have to know that you don't have much time, and I don't have much patience left. ”
"Humph......"
A cold snort came from the iron cage, and although his tone seemed weak, it was full of disdain.
"Why bother, isn't it just a book, it's worthless compared to your life!"
"If you're worthless, why would you do this to me? ”
In the cage, her face was covered by loose hair, and through the small gap, she could see that her face was delicate under the dirt.
Her gaze fell on her shoulders, both of which were locked in locks, the blood outside the wound had dried up, but new blood was spilling out.
"Tut-tut, you know, with your appearance, I won't blame you even if you don't want to teach the book, but why are you so ignorant, but I just want you to be my concubine, but you would rather die than give in, hey......"
He sighed slightly, as if it was a pity.
"Hmph, Liyang, you think too highly of yourself, I just turn to ashes, and you don't want to touch me at all. ”
The woman's stubbornness seemed to be beyond imagination, and Liyang's expression became fierce, and she said fiercely: "Then you will turn to ashes!"
After speaking, Li Yang turned around and walked out of the house, looking at the sunny outside the house, but a smile appeared on his gloomy face, and instructed the soldiers beside him:
"Take care of her for me, and if there's an accident here, don't put your head on your neck. ”
"Yes. The soldier's voice was filled with fear.
Inside the house, in the dark environment, her eyes no longer have a trace of desire to survive, and she has prepared for Huangquan Road, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Is it true that good people don't live long?"
In the face of her doubts, the only answer was the cold environment in the house.
The main hall of the city lord, the wide venue was already overcrowded, and the eyes of everyone who were whispering fell on the hall, and it was time for the master's family to come.
The soldiers opened the way, and the bright Changge flashed everyone's eyes, and the neat steps covered up everyone's words.
The team split apart, revealing the middle avenue, and a red blanket was slowly spread, and then Li Yang, the city lord of Jingyang City, walked over with a smile on his face and a calm and leisurely manner.
"The people are not very good, but the pomp and circumstance are not small. ”
The reluctance on the roof in the distance smiled, looked at the city lord of Jingyang City, and said sarcastically.
"You don't know, the more vicious people are, they always care about face. Lin Yan also said with a smile.
"Xiao Yan knows it very well, and he must have a deep understanding. ”
In the face of Lianlu's joke, Lin Yan chose not to hear it, arguing with her, he had already learned a lesson, and knew that he could not be provoked.
During the conversation, Li Yang sat down in his own chair in the hall, and everyone in the hall bowed and congratulated:
"I wish the city lord a great birthday, longevity and heaven. ”
When the blessings came out one after another, Liyang was happy to enjoy them, and the flattering crowd was also happy to say them to him.
However, no matter how much talk there is, it is not as practical as a practical thing, and everyone intuitively offers the gifts that have been prepared for a long time, and looking at those rare treasures, Liyang's expression smiles even more.
At the beginning of the birthday banquet, everyone took their seats, and before they started, a big man with a full beard stood up, as if he had something to say.
Seeing the man get up, Liyang narrowed the corners of his eyes and said, "Zhou Hu, what's the matter?"
Zhou Hu clenched his fists slightly and said, "I heard that the city lord caught a demon girl a few days ago, why don't you pull that demon girl out for us today." ”
For Zhou Hu's sudden proposal, Liyang did not show the slightest sign of anger, on the contrary, he seemed to be very happy;
"Okay, that's right. ”
Liyang clapped his hands, and then there were bursts of heavy footsteps and strong panting from the passage.
Lian Lu also saw the cage carried by the dozen or so big men, and she was puzzled and puzzled:
"I don't know who this city lord is imprisoning, but he will use an iron cage made of dark iron, and if this cage locks you two, you will not be able to break free. ”
"You forgot that I have a fairy sword!" Lin Yan reminded.
"Oh, forget about it, well, I'll teach you how to rescue the woman in the cage later. ”
Lin Yan looked at her and felt as if he had fallen for her.
Off-the-scenes, the cage has been placed between the crowd for everyone to watch, and her ragged clothes reveal her white thighs and delicate jade arms, which are seen by these people, although she can't see her face under the dirt, but she also shows a pig's face.
Seeing everyone's performance, Li Yang suddenly had a whim, and said ****:
"Since everyone is so interested, it is better to let the soldiers pull out her clothes, and everyone take a good look!"
"Good...... Good ......"
The onlookers all echoed the Tao, and the idiom of a nest of snakes and rats was vividly displayed by them.
"Stop!"
The woman in the cage was already about to bite her tongue and kill herself, but there was a voice of hope from the roof not far away.
With longing, her eyes looked at the daylight, a man and a woman stood in the wind, majestic......
