Chapter 147: Entering the City Lord's Mansion
Chapter 147 Entering the City Lord’s Mansion
"Uncle Li, why aren't you staying in the inn? It's windy outside." Mo Yu quickly stepped forward and returned in parallel with Li Gengyu.
"If I have to avoid this little bit of wind and cold, then I will be a waste."
Li Gengyu shook his head and laughed at himself. Since passing through the Beiwu Forest and Kongtong Mountain, the fierce momentum of his body has disappeared, and he is sad and introverted and down.
Mo Yu frowned secretly, thinking that he would not be able to relieve Li Gengyu for a while, so he suppressed his worries and asked casually: "Her old man Wang has entered the city?"
"Well, my senior brother went into the city today. One is to confirm where he was going, and the other is to go to the city lord's mansion to explore." Li Gengyu replied while walking.
"City Lord's Mansion?"
Mo Yu's heart was thrilled, and he said with concern: "Would Mr. Wang be hurt, would he be a little too hasty?"
Li Gengyu stopped hearing this, turned his head and smiled relaxedly at Mo Yu: "Don't worry, senior brother has his own sense of responsibility in this matter. Even if the city lord's mansion is in the den of a dragon pond, Zhou Quan's body is still more than enough."
"It's so good." Mo Yu nodded and the two continued to move forward.
There are two streets near the residence, with flower houses and wineries, and the two of them didn't communicate much.
Before leaving the street, a drunkard bumped into the two of them, staggering, shaking one step and three times, spitting dirty words in his mouth, bare chest and showing his flesh, and his face was sour.
The two of them didn't want to have any contact with the drunkard, so they staggered their bodies and gave in. However, the guy was unconscious and rushed towards the two of them.
"Uncle Li."
Mo Yu grabbed Li Gengyu who wanted to take action and signaled to the side.
Li Gengyu glanced at the side and found a team of patrol officers and soldiers walking here, a hundred meters away.
"Let's go." Li Gengyu jumped forward a few meters lightly, and Mo Yu followed closely behind.
I thought this would get rid of the drunk man, but I knew what kind of nerve the other party had. I was yelling at the neck, shouting, shouting and shaking to chase him, but I was unconscious and fell in a mess after five or six steps.
He was not at ease when he fell down, so he fumbled on the ground, picked up a stone and threw it in front.
By chance, stone hit Mo Yu's back.
A cold light flashed in Mo Yu's eyes, and he glanced at several gangsters on both sides of the street. He thought of it and gently waved his back, and the sword box accurately blocked the stone back.
"Oh~"
As expected, the drunk man covered his forehead with his hands and collapsed on his back, and the stone fell to the side with blood, as if it had hit the target with force.
Not only that, Mo Yu took out two pieces of silver from his arms under the surprise gaze of Li Gengyu, weighed it in his palm, and then threw it lightly next to the drunkard.
The next moment, the gangsters rushed towards the drunkard with their eyes shining brightly, and five or six people fought for two pieces of silver.
Some people get it means some people don’t. Those who have no one turn their goals to the drunkard themselves. Although the latter is rude, no one can guarantee whether they have money to hide.
"You are so cruel."
Li Gengyu looked at Mo Yu with a chuckle. The drunk man there had been stripped of all his energy. The drunkenness was halved, and he wailed and tore it, causing a beating.
"Heaven has to bear the burden, and the facts are about cause and effect. If he can end up like this, he will suffer all his own consequences."
"Let's go, the officers and soldiers are coming." Mo Yu chuckled and walked forward.
Li Gengyu turned his head and looked back. The patrol officers and soldiers were indeed running towards this side, with weapons in hand, so the group of people had to go to the cell for a while.
"This kid is so scary." Li Gengyu sighed and left quickly.
When he returned to the inn, the waiter handed a bowl of steaming soup to Li Gengyu: "Customer, the medicine was boiled as you said. It was filtered three times in total, and it happened to happen that you came back."
"very good."
Li Gengyu held the medicine with his left hand and handed the waiter a few copper plates with his right hand: "It will be the case tomorrow."
"Okay." The waiter happily took the reward and disappeared in front of the two of them.
"Uncle Li, I will not disturb you if I rest early." Mo Yu bowed and returned to his guest room.
The lights on the house were lit, and the sword box was removed and placed on the table, and the tears were pulled out. Ai Lian wiped the sword body, the scabbard, and the sword box passed one by one, and it took several times to stop.
Turn off the lights and go on the bed, kneel cross-legged and cry, resting both body and mind, falling into chaos and clear again, communicating with the cry, and whispering the sword.
The next day, the waiter knocked on the door and brought hot water. Mo Yu washed up and went to find Li Gengyu. He wanted to ask if Wang Gengche had returned last night and what progress had it been made.
Things went against my wishes. Li Gengyu's house door was locked. When he called the waiter to ask, he realized that the other party had left early in the morning and was in a hurry, as if there was an urgent matter to deal with.
"It's rare that something happened to Mr. Wang?"
Mo Yu subconsciously guessed this way, but after careful consideration, he denied himself.
Wang Gengche entered the city yesterday and it took time to meet and communicate with Li Gengyu. If you want to explore the charter, you also need time to observe the situation around the city lord's mansion, so it will be late at night.
An accident will inevitably cause a commotion. Wang Gengche is not weak, so the commotion will not be too calm. He was sitting in meditation and half asleep last night and did not find any confusion between the street patrol officers and soldiers.
There will be no accident on Wang Gengche, and the things that can cause Li Gengyu to be nervous are the people of Kongtong!
Kongtong Mountain is full of raw faces, and most of them are low-key when entering the city. Generally, they will not provoke trouble, so it is very likely that others will provoke.
Mo Yu paced back and forth in the corridor, thinking about how to deal with himself.
In addition to the city lord, Yihe City also has many wealthy officials and bureaucratic forces, with mixed quality, breeding some incorrect minds, and it is normal to bully disciples by relying on their power.
The people of Kongtong were born in the world and would not be humiliated by their own personalities. In this way, conflicts would break out and be out of control.
Mo Yu is not worried about the safety of Kongtong Mountain, but it is just that it is sensitive. It is difficult to suppress the snake. It is difficult to disturb the constitution.
"Young man,"
At this moment, the waiter who had left before ran upstairs, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand and handed it to Mo Yu: "A young man in white just entered the building and asked me to give you this piece of letter paper."
Mo Yu's heart thumped, and the cold face in his mind couldn't help but appear in his mind. He took the letter paper and spread it open. There was a faint fragrance, without many words, and there was only a beautiful word "An" in the middle of the paper.
Such a unique fragrance and beautiful handwriting are hers!
"Where did that young man go?" Mo Yu folded the letter paper and asked casually.
"Going left along the street," the waiter replied recalling, and couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "Such beautiful face is so beautiful, I have never seen such a young man in my life, and I have never heard of it. I don't know how many foolish girls will cause arson. Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity~"
Mo Yu frowned when he heard this, and for some reason he felt a little unhappy in his mood. He coughed: "Stop talking!"
The tone was heavy pressure, and the waiter immediately shivered, apologized for no reason, and ran away as if he was running away.
Seeing this, Mo Yu felt relieved. He turned around and went downstairs, left the inn and headed straight towards the center of the city. Li Gengyu was no longer worried.
Liu Ningxuan knew him well, and he had already known Kongtong Mountain. The word "An" was concise and concise. He told Kongtong Mountain that she would take good care of her and she didn't need to worry.
Of course, Mo Yu was moved and did not forget to think clearly. Why did Liu Ningxuan be so concerned about him? Is he appreciated him or had ulterior motives?
Looking back on the situation where the two sides met, it was a coincidence. Yihecheng also met by chance. Based on this reason, why did she grasp her situation so clearly?
It is rare that his affairs as the young master of the Jun Mansion have been exposed?
Or, she had other ideas about him...
After struggling and distressing all the way, Mo Yu came outside a magnificent mansion three quarters of an hour later.
This mansion is more than twice the size of Du Mansion. The steps are bluestone, the gate is reddish lacquered and gold-plated. Two stone lions are separated from each other, with their teeth and claws, which is scary.
Mo Yu climbed up the steps and just walked under the stone lion and saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushing out from both sides of the mansion gate to surround him. A leader grabbed the hanging sword from his waist with his right hand and stared at him.
"The city lord's mansion is important, and idlers are not allowed to set foot on the important ground, so they should not leave quickly!"
Mo Yu looked calm and took out a waist sign from his arms and handed it to the other party: "I have an old age with the Lord of this thing. I had a drink of tea a few days ago. I delayed it for a few days. Today I will come to the appointment."
The general was half-believing and half-doubted to take the waist card. When he saw the word "Wu" engraved on the card, he immediately put his fists and bowed his waist: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest in Wushan. If you have offended it, please don't blame me."
While speaking, he ordered his subordinates to make way and personally led Mo Yu towards the door of the mansion.
Mo Yu nodded lightly. He came to touch the bottom of Wuyi Mountain with the name of visiting him.
Linglong once fought with an elder in Wuyi Mountain. After getting the waist card, he used all his money and just took it to the city lord's mansion.
There is no need to worry about being invisible. After all, he did promise that the old man would come, which is legitimate.
"The city has been a little uneasy recently. I saw that the city gate has been posted with a lot of wanted warrants."
When he entered the mansion, Mo Yu looked around and chatted with the generals next to him.
"It's all little thieves, so there's no need to worry." The leader was very alert and replied lightly.
"That's right, the city lord is capable and capable, and those traitors are all frightened and dare not cause trouble." Mo Yu took the opportunity to take a look at the statute and swept to the side from the corner of his eyes.
"That's natural!"
The general was very helpful to Mo Yu's flattery, as if he was talking about himself, and he was content with his words: "To be honest, our city lord..."
The other party said something boasting. After hearing a few words, Mo Yu began to echo casually. The drunkard's intention was not about wine, but about the establishment of the Zhang Mansion.
The city lord's mansion is very large, with rockery, lakes, pavilions, decorations... everything is available. There is no need to count the servants and maids. Teams of patrol soldiers walked by seriously, and if there is anything, there is nothing, it comes from the darkness.
The general led Mo Yu to the right corridor of the mansion and could not see the whole mansion. Even so, it was obvious that Zhangcheng had very strict defenses on the mansion.
Most people don’t do this. Only those who are dark and losers will do this. There are many enemies, so there are many defenses.
The general was still talking nonstop. Mo Yu was annoyed by his ears, interrupting the other party, and said with a fake smile: "Brother, I admire him very much. I have the intention of making friends with me. How dare I ask for the name of the surname?"
Vanity is a common problem among most people, and the general was no exception. He patted his chest and said, "I'm the last name Zhang, the word "Yan".
"Brother Zhang."
Mo Yu nodded with a cold light flashed in his eyes. This person was indeed a relative of the Regulations, and he could tell from his previous attitude towards the Regulations.
In this way, the guards in the mansion are all confidants in the imperial court!
"arrive."
Zhang Yan suddenly stopped and pointed to a pavilion not far away and said, "The people of Wushan settled in it. I know the waist sign you showed, but I don't know the master, so you need to find it yourself."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for leading the way." Mo Yu raised his feet and wanted to walk.
"Let's wait!"
