Chapter 42: Night Exploration of the City Lord's Mansion
The little two were stunned for a moment, bowed down and said with a smile: "This master, we are here to eat and live in the hotel, as for other things, the little one is not very clear." He said this, but his body did not move.
Listening to Xiao Er's words, Ah Xiu sneered in his heart, and said secretly: The car and boat shops are really mercenary. didn't bother with him much, took out a piece of silver in his arms, about five taels, and shook it in front of Xiao Er.
When Xiao Er saw the money, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly took the silver, with a flattering look: "Thank you, your reward, if you have anything, just ask, if I know, I will tell you." β
Ah Xiu nodded: "We came to Lingxiang City to invest in relatives, but unexpectedly, our relatives moved and we didn't find them, but seeing that all of you here are panicking, I don't know what happened?"
The little second knew that there was no one around, but he still looked left and right, and then replied in a low voice: "This guest officer, are you from other places?" Let me tell you, our Lingxiang City has changed recently, the old city lord took the initiative to give way, and was replaced by General Wei Xiyang, and on the fifteenth of next month, a Zen ceremonial ceremony will be held in the south of the city. β
Sure enough, as Ah Xiu thought, Luo Xuerou and the others did not succeed so easily, but they pretended to be puzzled: "Isn't it just to let the city lord? You and I are willing, why are you so nervous? It's like going to fight." β
Xiao Er leaned over his face and lowered his voice and said: "Guest officer, you don't know, there are many people who do our business every day, and they know a lot of things, it is said that the old city lord did not want to take the initiative to give way, but was forced by Wei Xiyang." β
"Even?" Ah Xiu frowned and asked, "He is the lord of a city, doesn't he have some power, how can he be so easy to comply?"
Xiao Er hesitated for a moment, and replied mysteriously: "It's not nothing, I heard that just five or six days ago, a group of people came to save the old city lord, and there was a conflict between the two sides at that time, and the fight was fierce, but in the end it failed to save the city lord." β
"What about them?" Ah Xiu knew that this group of people must be Luo Xuerou and Ge Tianxing, so he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know much about this", Xiao Er shook his head, and continued: "But the General's Mansion sent heavy troops to search from house to house, and later ordered us to register the guests in detail as much as possible, and that's it." β
"Well, I see, okay, you go down, don't bother us if it's okay. "Ah Xiu knew that he couldn't ask anything about him.
"Well, you two eat well and use it well, if you have anything, just call me. With that, he turned and went out.
When there were only the two of them left in the house, Su Zixing frowned and whispered to himself: "It's really strange, with my senior brother here, how can I not save the Luo City Lord?
Ah Xiu looked at Su Zixing, shook his head and said, "They should be fine." β
"Why?" Su Zixing was puzzled.
Ah Xiu thought for a moment and said, "If they are really caught, then Wei Xiyang still needs to search from house to house? β
Su Zixing nodded "oh" when he heard this, then his eyes widened, and he said viciously: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about?
Ah Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize to you, it's okay like this, right?"
Seeing that Su Zixing "snorted" and stopped pursuing it, Ah Xiu said again: "I said little saint, don't call me a kid, I have a name, you can call me Ah Xiu." β
Su Zixing glanced at Ah Xiu, and asked again, "Then what should we do now?" Where can we find my senior brother and them?"
Ah Xiu had already picked up a steamed bun at this time and took a bite, and said while eating: "Don't worry, fill your stomach first, and let's go to the City Lord's Mansion in the evening to have a look." β
Su Zixing nodded, at this time she found that the young man in front of her was not so useless, at least his brain reacted quite quickly, but sometimes he was too annoying to speak.
In the middle of the night, the crooked moon hung in the sky, and under the shallow moonlight, two figures appeared on the courtyard wall on the side of the city lord's mansion, it was Ah Xiu and Su Zixing, they didn't have time to get night clothes, they just covered their faces with a scarf and stepped on the moon.
Although it was already late at night, there were still many rooms in the City Lord's Mansion with lights on, and several teams of soldiers were shuttling back and forth, doing vigilance.
Ah Xiu looked at it for a moment, and saw that a group of soldiers was walking away, so he made a gesture to Su Zixing, and then the two of them flew into the courtyard and touched the brightest room in the middle against the wall.
The room was very high, and although it was only one floor, it was more than twice as high as the other rooms around it, and the two of them went to the base of the wall, and with their own light skills, they jumped onto the room with their feet, and stepped on the tiles to the middle of the roof.
Su Zixing heard someone talking in the room, but she couldn't hear clearly, she lifted several tiles, trying to find a gap to see what was going on, but found that the roof was very carefully built, and she couldn't find a single gap, so she had no choice but to cast a look of help to Ah Xiu.
Seeing this, Ah Xiu poked his head into Su Zixing's ear and whispered, "Don't move on it, let me wind out." After speaking, he slowly walked to the side of the roof and turned down, Su Zixing was shocked, but found that Ah Xiu hung on the eaves with his feet, and his body drooped straight down without a sound, so he put his mind at ease, and secretly thought that this kid really has a lot of tricks.
At this time, Ah Xiu's head was close to the window, he licked his fingers, poked a small hole in the window paper, and then looked inward, but saw that this room should be a council room, at this time several people were sitting on one side of the conversation, one of them he knew, it was the Jiang priest who had fought with him, and there were three other people, one side of the wide mouth, who looked like he was in his forties, dressed very gorgeously, and there was a man in his thirties sitting next to him, who looked like a guard, and the last middle-aged man attracted Ah Xiu's attention, this person was dressed in a black robe, with long hair tied behind his head, a beard on his lips, and his eyes were shining, which was very magnificentγ
After Ah Xiu cultivated the Beast King Technique, his ears and eyes were clear, and he could faintly hear the content of their conversation at this time, so he heard Priest Jiang say: "General Wei, with our Deputy Sect Leader Kang here, you don't have to be afraid of him Ge Tianxing, they didn't return last time." β
The gorgeously dressed man shook his head and sighed when he heard this, it seemed that he was Wei Xiyang. I only heard him smile bitterly and said: "Brother Jiang, you don't know, the status of the Six Sages in our Tiannan family is quite respectful, and they have a deep connection with several big names in power, I really didn't expect Ge Tianxing to meddle in this little matter of Lingxiang City this time, and now that I have offended him, I am afraid that even if we succeed in taking Lingxiang City, he will not let me go in the future." β
Hearing Wei Xiyang's words, the middle-aged black-robed man spoke: "Hehe, General Wei, you don't have to think about it so much, when we take Lingxiang City, you will be considered to have made a great contribution, and if Ge Tianxing really wants to find you bad luck at that time, naturally our demon spirit will teach you to be the master." β
