Chapter 8 City Lord
There was another person who came back here with Gu Tu and the other four, that was Gu Tu who had just talked to Mr. Liu at the gate of Luocheng City. When Gu Tu and the other two entered the house, everyone outside the door also dispersed. Gu Tu and Gu Tu also ran towards the city lord's mansion on the other side.
"Sir, it's not good, it's not good." Guard Xia, who had just entered the city lord's mansion, shouted loudly, not caring about the surprised eyes of the guards in the house.
"Who is Cheng Heti Tong shouting? Is there anything wrong with it?" The city lord who was sitting in the pavilion in the yard playing chess pieces looked at the white-haired old man opposite awkwardly.
"Master, the big thing is wrong." Then I realized that I was abrupt. I was unable to make up my mind or not, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" the city lord asked.
"Go back to the city lord, there were three people and one beast coming in at the city gate just now." Guard Xia said carefully, for fear of causing the city lord's unhappiness.
"What a big deal? Are you going crazy when you are drunk?" The city lord looked at Guard Xia with some anger. He thought Guard Xia was so nervous. He thought that Guard Xia was so nervous. When he heard this nonsense, his face turned blue. What's more, there were elders in the family here, which was so embarrassing.
"Master Lord, no, yes~~" Guard Xia was so anxious that he couldn't explain clearly.
"What is it and it's not? I think you're stupid in the city guarding. I'll go feed the horses tomorrow." The city lord's face became increasingly ugly.
"Xia Xuan, don't get angry first, listen to him finish his words slowly!" said the white-haired old man who played chess with the city lord.
"I haven't reported it quickly yet, I can't stand here and wait for me to appreciate you tea." The city lord said with a dark face.
"Yes, yes." The city guard smiled gratefully at the white-haired old man, and then said: "The three people don't look like people from our Daxia. They came in from the city gate in the afternoon. One of them picked them up, and the people they picked up didn't look like people from our Daxia. And the three people were surrounded by a monster leopard with a black fur six or seven feet long."
At this moment, Guard Xia finally explained the whole story clearly.
"Oh, it's a monster." The city lord looked at the white-haired old man opposite with some surprise.
"It should be an adult leopard monster. But the family that has the ability to train such high-level monsters is almost gone in our Daxia, so it's hard to say what's outside." A glimmer flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man, and it was obvious that he was also surprised.
"A high-level monster like this is only available in the depths of a hundred thousand mountains, but it is more difficult to enter there than climbing to the sky. Who has the ability to go there to train monsters?" The city lord recalled some things.
The city lord's family originally had a monster ape. Although the strength of the ape is only the lowest among the high-level monsters, it is much stronger than that of the same level humans. Looking back, from discovering the ape to catching it, his family lost more than a dozen immortal-level elders, and the top-notch warriors in the human world also lost dozens of them. But this was not because of the strength of the ape, but because the guy brought a group of people to the depths of the 100,000 mountains in the southeast. There are many monsters as powerful as golden immortals. There are many monsters with ordinary immortals as powerful as bull hairs, and there are several terrifying existences. In the end, a large number of people were lost to catch the monster ape.
"Where did the three men and the demon go after entering the city?" asked the white-haired old man.
"They entered that haunted house, the last house on this street." Guard Xia was startled by the look of the white-haired old man. He swore that he had never seen such a look.
"Oh, two days ago, I heard from the people in the mansion that they were bought by an old man and two middle-aged people. Are they together?" the city lord asked thoughtfully.
"Didn't the owner of that house was killed inexplicably in the first few people's family? Was the murderer found it? Why did the old man buy that house? It is the worst for us practitioners in that kind of place full of resentment." The white-haired old man asked several questions in a row.
"The murderer was found, just a common revenge. Since the death of the family, the house has been empty and no one dared to live there. Some even said that it was not very quiet at night. As for why they had to choose the house first, it was not big." The city lord said in a word.
"Go back to the city lord, they came in with Liu Zong, the butler of the Cheng family, as well as the second wife of the Cheng family and that little monster." Guard Xia felt that he couldn't stand the atmosphere here, so he wanted to report and leave the place early.
"You go down first, this matter has ended here, don't talk to others." The city lord Xia Xuan waved his hand and signaled Guard Xia to leave. His original mood was also a mess because of Guard Xia's arrival.
Guard Xia saluted the city lord and the white-haired old man, then quickly walked out of the city lord's talisman, and breathed a long sigh as he walked. As soon as he left the city lord's talisman, Ziqing's face turned a little excited. Now he didn't have to feed the horses anymore. Maybe he could get a single official and half a position because of this matter. At least he would let the city lord take a different look in the future.
"Elder, what do you think about this matter?" The city lord and the white-haired old man in the city lord's mansion were still sitting next to the chessboard, but now they are no longer in their own way, but are discussing the issue.
"I am here this time to mediate Mao Dun in the business of the Lin family in the Southeast and the Cheng family in Luocheng. As for other matters, as the leader of the city, you can handle it yourself." The white-haired old man picked up the teacup on the chessboard and sipped it gently.
"But those people are working together with the Cheng family. Could it be someone invited by the Cheng family?" the city lord asked tentatively.
"Xia Xuan, you have been the city lord for so many years, do you still need me to give you some advice? Going into the city together is just an assistant invited by others? Besides, this time the Cheng family is in the wrong. What else can I ask for help? Moreover, the Lin family came to the door just to ask for an explanation, and whether they want to fight. If you want to understand this, you will understand this, otherwise the Cheng family will not need to exist. The Lin family will arrive in Luocheng tomorrow. I will go to rest first." The white-haired old man touched the black chess in the chess box, then took out one and put it on the chessboard and turned around and left the city lord Xia Xuan alone.
"Old guy, if you didn't have to have you now, you would have made you so arrogant." The city lord thought with a dark face.
In another five years, the Xia family will be a competition, and after the competition, there will be promotions between the city lords. This time he wants to be the city lords nearer to the Daxia Imperial City. So at that time, he needs the support of several elders, and this white-haired elder will be one of them. Otherwise, as the lord of the city, he would not take such an outer lord seriously.
Besides, Gu Tu and the other two followed Yuxiong to the new house, but the moment they entered the door, they felt a gloomy aura. Because Gu Qing was the most skilled among the three except Zi Donglai, his clothes immediately bulged up. Zi Donglai was still the same, as if nothing had any effect on him.
"Relax, relax Gu Qing, now you know you're scared. You were still stubborn just now. Hahaha." Yuxiong laughed and walked around the house.
"Farting, this is a natural reaction. I look scared?" Gu Qing relaxed his body, and his bulging clothes also sagged, but his mouth did not relax at all.
Gu Tu looked left and right, and he was quite satisfied with the new house. Zi Donglai had no requirements for anything, so he naturally would not care about the house or something.
