Chapter 34: The City Lord's Mansion
"I actually went to 'Hushan County', I remember that I was in 'Meteorite County' before I fell into a coma. During the journey, Su Zhi learned from Ding Ling that this forest was already under the jurisdiction of Hushan County.
Moon Lake is connected to four counties, Meteorite County is in the north, and this Hushan County is in the south, that is to say, Su Zhi directly crossed the vast Moon Lake.
"Well, it's at the gate of the city, how about it, Hushan City is not magnificent. Ding Ling pulled Su Zhi and pointed to the city gate and said.
Su Zhi looked at it, the first thing that came into his eyes was the majestic and quaint city wall, the main gate of the city wall 'Hushan City' three words iron painting silver hook, there is a moat several zhang wide outside the city, and there are soldiers guarding all around.
"This city is also magnificent, although it can't be compared with the mountain gate of the Falling Star Sect, but it is also rare. Su Zhi said secretly, at least he had never seen such a tall city wall before entering the Falling Star Sect. So he replied to Ding Ling, "Not bad!"
"Hmph, what is good, a hillbilly is a hillbilly, I don't know how to pretend to understand, the height and solidity of the urban defense buildings in Hushan City are among the best in Chu State. Ding Han couldn't help but reprimand when he heard Su Zhi's tone that was not salty or light.
was frightened by Su Zhi's eyes before, he lost all his face, but now that he has arrived in Hushan City, he will no longer be afraid of Su Zhi.
Hearing that Ding Han despised Su Zhi so much, Ding Ling was unhappy at first, and her eyes widened, "Senior brother, you are like this, I will ignore you in the future." Then he grabbed Su Zhi and walked towards the city gate, "Let's go, let's ignore him." ”
"Hey, junior sister, wait, I'm telling the truth. Looking at Ding Ling and Su Zhi walking together in front of him, Ding Han immediately shouted, but Ding Ling ignored him.
Seeing Ding Ling ignoring him, Ding Han couldn't help but be annoyed, he looked left and right around him, "Let's go, let's follow too." ”
After Ding Ling pulled Su Zhi into the city, he went straight to the center of the inner city, and it didn't take long for Su Zhi to come to the door of a luxurious mansion under his tutelage, and the door plaque said 'City Lord's Mansion'.
"It's actually the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Su Zhi was a little surprised, although he had already seen the extraordinaryness of the woman's family, but he didn't expect that he would just roast a tiger and meet the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Let's go, let's go in. ”
Ding Ling smiled at Su Zhi and took the lead in running to the front to open the way.
Just when Su Zhi was about to enter, Ding Han ran over again, and he said in a low voice, "Boy, I don't care what way you come from, I advise you, in the City Lord's Mansion, you had better be careful with me, every grass and tree, every brick and tile in it is very precious, if it is broken or broken, you may not be able to afford compensation." ”
"I also advise you, don't provoke me, otherwise it won't do you any good!" Su Zhi snorted coldly and walked in directly.
"When you come to the City Lord's Mansion, you dare to be so arrogant, surnamed Su, you wait, the master won't teach you, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Staring at Su Zhi's disappearing back, Ding Han gritted his teeth and said.
"Childe, I'm afraid this kid is a bit of a doorway. An entourage reminded Ding Han.
"Hmph, do you still need to say this?" Ding Han glared at him, "But no matter how powerful it is, this is the City Lord's Mansion, and the master invited a master some time ago." ”
"If this silver-veined tiger was really killed by this kid, then I am definitely not his opponent, and I have to find a way to get this master to come forward. Ding Han held his chin in his hand and thought about it, on the surface, he didn't care about Su Zhi, but he was still very cautious in his heart.
——
The city lord's mansion is very large, with neat bluestone brick paving, and the surrounding orchid grass and flowers are particularly luxuriant.
"Madame, Mademoiselle has returned home. ”
Su Zhi followed Ding Ling, and as soon as he walked to the living room, a maid immediately went back to the hall to report when he saw it.
After a while, in the living room, a woman in her forties came out of it, the woman was white-skinned and dressed in silk and satin, which was very luxurious.
As soon as she came out, she pulled Ding Ling and said, "You girl likes to run around, like a boy, how can you marry in the future." Although he was blaming, the tone contained more of a doting.
"Mother, why do you say this again, which family's mother-in-law always says this about her daughter. Ding Ling shook the woman's arm, dissatisfied and coquettish.
The woman smiled and held Ding Ling's hand, "If you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, I won't be rambling in front of you all day." ”
As soon as she heard the words qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Ding Ling felt uncomfortable, thinking of Su Zhi at the bottom of the steps, she had an idea, and immediately changed the topic, "By the way, mother, let me introduce you, this is Su Zhi, I met it in the forest, he killed the silver-veined tiger alone, and the tiger meat was also brought back, and I will tell the kitchen to heat it up later, and I will honor you." ”
Ding Ling ran to Su Zhi's side and gave a detailed introduction to the woman.
"The boy has said goodbye to his aunt. Su Zhi bowed, since he came, there was still etiquette.
After hearing her daughter's introduction, the woman turned her head and glanced at Su Zhi, "Since it is a guest brought by Ling'er, it is a guest of my city lord's mansion, if you have any needs, just tell the housekeeper." ”
The woman's tone was normal, and she didn't mention anything about Su Zhi's fight against the tiger.
Although it was just a few ordinary words, Su Zhi could understand it, and he knew that he was afraid that the other party would be classified as that kind of exaggerated and stammering person. Su Zhi didn't explain, he clenched his fists, "Thank you, madam, the kid does have something to ask for." ”
"Oh, tell me about it. ”
Madame's tone was still normal, but it was a little more cold than just now, as the wife of the city lord, she had seen too much of the world.
"I would like to borrow a fast horse and a map of your province to reach Tai'an Township as soon as possible. Su Zhi said that he had no intention of staying longer, and since the other party was not welcome, he also ended up relaxed.
When the woman heard Su Zhi's words, she finally looked at him seriously, "Is that all?"
"Hope is the fastest horse. Su Zhi emphasized.
"No, no, how can you leave when you just came, and I haven't given you silver taels yet?" Hearing that Su Zhi was leaving, Ding Ling was not happy, she hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her, "Mother, you too, I finally invited Su Zhi to come to the house as a guest, how can you let him go?"
Ding Ling ran to the woman with a look of grievance.
"Alright. The woman comforted her, and then said to Su Zhi, "I was really worried just now, I hope Gongzi will not be surprised, if it is not early today, Gongzi should stay and rest for one night." ”
Su Zhi looked at the dim sky, and finally agreed.
When night falls, everything rests.
Since Su Zhi entered the middle stage of Qi refining, he rarely slept lying down, even if he was tired on weekdays, he would feel refreshed after sitting cross-legged for a few hours, and Su Zhi was sitting on the bed in a guest room in the City Lord's Mansion, raising land, and a voice came from his ears.
"Tap, tap, you know? You guys. ”
Three men in night clothes approached Su Zhi's bedroom like thieves.
"Childe, can this **incense work?I heard that many martial artists are not afraid of **incense. A voice behind him said to the man in front of him.
"Hmph, you know what. This is not an ordinary ** incense, even if the top martial artist is hit by this incense, he can only be slaughtered by me. You two are less verbose, just follow the son. The man in black in the lead sternly lectured the two people behind him.
The three of them sneaked around, and after more than a dozen breaths, they finally paced to the door of Su Zhi's bedroom.
The man in black who took the lead gently pierced the door and window, blew eight ** incense in, waited for a while, and after making sure that there was no movement inside, he took out a dagger, knocked the door latch open, and several people flashed in.
Seeing Su Zhi lying motionless on the bed, the man in black in the lead took off his scarf, this person was Ding Han, "Hmph, dare to go against this son, what is the use of your martial arts no matter how high your martial arts are, it's not my trick to fall for my son." ”
"Childe, what to do with him?" someone asked later.
"What to do with him?" Ding Han thought for a moment, and then said, "Stupid, of course he was beaten into a pig's head, I think he is too embarrassed to see my junior sister tomorrow." ”
"This. The man in the back hesitated.
"Hurry up, or I'll beat you to a pig's head first. Ding Han said angrily and kicked him in the ass.
Under the coercion of Ding Han, he didn't dare to object, came to Su Zhi's bed with a wooden stick, took a deep breath and beat it, but just as he was fighting, the three of them suddenly felt that their eyes were dark, and then they didn't know anything.
——
Next.
Ding Han was dreaming, he dreamed that he and his sister were in the church, and when he was about to kiss, he said 'pop!', and an ear hit him in the face.
"Who, who dares to hit me?" Ding Han woke up, "Master, master, why did you come to my room?" Seeing that his master's eyes were staring at him angrily, Ding Han was a little confused.
"Hmph, shameless thing, where do you see this place?" a man in his fifties, with a Chinese character face and a beard, reprimanded, this person was the lord of Hushan City, Ding Yunshan.
Ding Han looked around and was immediately startled, he found that there were people all around, maids and people, everything, especially Ding Ling, who he cared about the most.
"Me, me?"
He looked at his upper body again, and he found that he was actually naked, and he was lying in the flowers, and there were two people who were also naked under him, he quickly got up and knelt down and said, "Master, you listen to my explanation, this, this is none of my business, this is the kid......"
"Well, something that doesn't work. Get dressed and roll me out into the living room. Ding Yunshan interrupted him, and left with a wave of Ding Ling's sleeve.
"Senior sister, I, you listen to me"
Wanting to cry without tears, Ding Han ran back to his bedroom, tidied up a little, and came to the living room with fear.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, under Ding Yunshan's reprimand, he told all the latest things.
"What do you mean, you took the ** incense to attack others, and then you were knocked unconscious by others, and then you were thrown into the flowers?" After listening to Ding Han's words, Ding Yunshan summed it up.
"That's right, master, you must believe me. Ding Han knelt in the middle of the hall with a face full of grievances.
"Full of nonsense, you still dare to deceive as a teacher. **Incense may not be able to be blocked by me, how can a teenager about the same age as you be able to stop it. ”
"Master, what I said is true, that kid killed the silver-veined tiger in a few clicks? "Ding Han doesn't care so much now, he can pull it if he can.
"Oh, there is such a thing? Why haven't you heard of me about it? Ding Yunshan didn't ask Ding Ling, but asked his wife.
"I'm not sure, this is the one Ling'er brought back, why don't you call this young man and ask?" replied the woman.
Ding Yunshan thought about it, nodded slightly, and then ordered his subordinates to invite Su Zhi over.
"Meet the lord of the city, ma'am. In the living room, Su Zhi bowed to it.
"Well, what a young man, please take a seat. Ding Yunshan saw that Su Zhi was in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and praised him without a word.
Su Zhi glanced at Ding Han, who was kneeling on the ground, and was not polite, and sat down on the side.
"I heard the little girl say that the young man killed a silver-veined tiger with his own strength, which is really terrifying!" Ding Yunshan praised again.
"It's just luck, the city lord praised it. Su Zhi responded humbly.
Seeing that Su Zhi knew how to advance and retreat, Ding Yunshan was even more suspicious of what Ding Han said, and he couldn't decide whether to ask this young man for a while.
Looking at Ding Yunshan's hesitant expression, Su Zhi was a little funny in his heart, since he came in and saw Ding Han kneeling there, Su Zhi understood the meaning of the other party looking for him, and he never thought that his own performance, the other party was embarrassed to ask.
You must know that Ding Ling's mother speaks without leakage, and she has more than enough to advance and retreat. He thought that this city lord must be more difficult to deal with, but now it seems that this city lord is really 'honest' beyond his expectations!
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Su Zhi had to speak first, "I don't know what the city lord is looking for a kid to do?"
As soon as Su Zhi asked this, Ding Ling, who was beside Ding Yunshan, immediately winked at him constantly, and then glanced at Ding Han again, which meant to tell him that he had something to do with Ding Han's affairs.
"Okay, since the young man asked so, the old man won't beat around the bush, I don't know if the young man was in the room last night?"
