Fast Transmigration: Embarrassed

Chapter 162 The Country of Beauty (20)

The person who hid behind the tree and peeped at them turned out to be Yan Feng?Surprised everyone.

Yan Feng walked up to Chu Ci with a smile, and flatteringly said, "Chu Ci, I'm not worried about you. You are going to do such a dangerous thing and you still don't let me follow you. How can I stay? I have to follow secretly Your team, see if you can help at the critical moment."

Chu Ci glanced at him, and asked Guang Guang, "Guang, do you have any extra clothes? Find a clean suit for Yan Feng to change into."

Guang nodded and went to look for clothes in the carriage.

The saint walked around Yanfeng twice, pinched her nose and asked, "Duke Yanfeng, how long has it been since you took a shower, and the smell on your body is too bad."

Yanfeng raised his arm, put it under his nose and smelled: "Is there any? I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with you. You have a carriage to travel, but I only dare to sneak behind and follow the tracks of the wheels. The distance is If it's far away, you can rent a donkey cart, but if it's too close, I'm afraid of being discovered by you, so I have to walk step by step with my legs. Your carriage has stopped, but I'm still hurrying on, for fear of losing you, so I won't have time to take a shower and change clothes. ah?"

"Come on, don't sell it badly." Chu Ci rolled his eyes and said to Guang who brought the clothes, "Give him the clothes first, and find a place for him to take a bath first to get rid of the mud and smell on his body." Clean it and change it."

Yanfeng's face turned red and he followed Guang obediently to the stream.After about half an hour, Yanfeng came back with a completely new look.

"Chu Ci, don't be angry. Look, there are already so many of you, don't you care about bringing one more of me?" Yanfeng showed his most shameless side and walked to an empty horse in a few steps. He greeted everyone who was ready to go, "It's getting late, everyone, don't dawdle, hurry up!"

Guang and Hu looked at each other speechlessly, and then looked at Chu Ci together.It all depends on Chu Ci's intentions, if she agrees with Yan Feng to follow, they have nothing to say.If Chu Ci didn't want to take Yanfeng with him, they immediately pulled Yanfeng off the horse and sent someone to pack him and send him back to the capital.

Chu Ci sighed: "Okay, if he wants to follow, just follow him. Tiger, watch him closely. He has no ability to protect himself now, so don't rush into the enemy's mouth stupidly."

"Yes, Duke." Hu immediately responded loudly, and then suddenly muttered, "Hey, Duke Yanfeng seems to be a Duke too." But he thought about it again, didn't they all hear it clearly? Is it the arrangement of the Duke of Ci? Compared with the Duke of Chu Ci, the Duke of Yanfeng is not at the same level.

The convoy set off again, and after traveling for about ten days, it arrived at a civilian town closest to the Death Swamp.

This town is called Shenyue City. Although it is the closest town to the Death Swamp, it is actually a day away from the demon's lair.

After discussion, Chu Ci and the others planned to temporarily build the base camp in Shenyue City, first explore the reality of the Death Swamp, and wait until the enemy's situation is known before making further arrangements.

Welcomed into the city by members of the guards stationed in Shenyue City, Chuci and the others simply rested for two hours, and it was time for dinner.The city lord specially set up a large banquet in his yard to entertain the heroes who came to conquer the demons.

The city lord was a naive middle-aged man, not a particularly handsome and mature uncle, which did surprise Chu Ci.

Because according to her observation, among the civilians on the streets of the city, there are people who are far better than the city lord.It stands to reason, isn't the custom of a beautiful country that beauty is the most important thing?

However, Chu Ci was not stupid enough to ask directly. Instead, he chatted with the city lord about the Death Swamp and demons while eating.She discovered that although the city lord looked ordinary, his behavior and knowledge were much better than ordinary people.

The meal was a joy for the host and guests, and a lot of useful information was gained.Chu Ci and others returned to the residence arranged by the guards and got together to discuss the specific action plan for tomorrow.

As soon as everyone was seated, the most impatient saintess was the first to ask, "Why is the city lord of Shenyue City so ordinary-looking, but was chosen as the city lord?"

Although she didn't ask anyone clearly, she looked at Hu.

As the leader of the guards, Hu should be more aware of the affairs of Shenyue City where the guards are stationed than everyone else present.

Sure enough, Hu immediately replied: "Shenyue City is different from the capital city. It is threatened by the evil spirits in the death swamp all the year round. It is not as peaceful as the capital city you usually see.

Especially about 100 years ago, Shenyue City was like the capital city, selecting the most beautiful person to be the city lord in four years.But at that time, evil spirits were much more rampant than they are now.Although they are illuminated by torches and dare not invade the residents of the town, the weaker residents are often plagued by nightmares at night, suffering unspeakably.

At that time, a young man suggested that he once read a passage like a scripture in an ancient book. After reciting it repeatedly, he never had nightmares again.So many residents learned that scripture from him, and they were no longer troubled by nightmares.

In order to thank this young man, when the city lord was selected the next year, the residents at that time unanimously elected him as the new city lord, thinking that he was the most beautiful in the hearts of everyone.Later, after this young man was elected as the city lord, he did a lot of good deeds for the residents. Shenyue City also developed from a sparsely populated small town full of old, weak, sick and disabled to the peaceful and prosperous appearance it is today.

The city lord had been re-elected for many years, and until his death, no one had more votes than him.Before he died, he changed the rules of the election in Shenyue City.In order for the residents of Shenyue City to live a happy life, the person with the most beautiful appearance will no longer be the city lord, but the person with the most ability and the most consideration for the residents of the city will be selected as the city lord. "

The saint was very surprised and confused when she heard this: "Isn't the most beautiful person the one with the most beautiful, kind and pure soul? Those ordinary-looking people have such ordinary souls, how can they replace the beautiful people and become the city lords who lead the town?" Woolen cloth?"

Hu was a little speechless by her question: "I... I don't know much about this. Anyway, the residents here think it's so good, and our guards can't interfere too much."

The saint snorted: "Your guards are dereliction of duty, and you dare not even take care of such violations of the law."

"That's not the case." Hu blushed, "His Majesty the King also knows about this situation, and he said that there is no need to interfere."

The saint pursed her lips: "His Majesty the King actually condoned things that violated the law. I will educate him when I go back!"

Chu Ci smiled and touched the saint's hair: "I can give you an acceptable explanation for this matter."
