Chapter 38 Invitation from the City Lord's Mansion

th!

After all, the child in Li Qing'er's belly was not saved.

She lay quietly on the bed, her pale face without a trace of blood, her eyes empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking!

Cheng Mo looked at her and suddenly felt that he shouldn't let that man go like that.

That beast really deserves to die.

Xiao Wu held Cheng Mo's hand tightly and said, "Why is Teacher Qing'er's husband so cruel?"

"That's his own child!"

Cheng Mo said angrily: "That beast is not worthy of Teacher Qing'er, let alone her husband!"

At this moment, Lao Cheng walked into the room and said to Cheng Mo: "Xiao Mo, Butler Xiao from the City Lord's Mansion is here. He came here specifically to see you."

Cheng Mo couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Did he come here with Jin Ling'er?"

Lao Cheng shook his head and said, "He came alone."

Cheng Mo was a little confused when he heard this. What could the people from the City Lord's Mansion do to him?

Could it be that there was something wrong with the previous copyright matter?

Cheng Mo looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, I'm going to see what's going on. You stay here with Teacher Qing'er. Don't let her do stupid things!"

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm still here."

Cheng Mo hugged her gently, and then walked to the bookstore with Lao Cheng.

When Cheng Mo walked to the bookstore, Butler Xiao was waiting.

When he saw Cheng Mo, he said crisply: "Cheng Mo, the Lord of the City wants to see you!"

"Without further ado, come with me now!"

Cheng Mo asked with some confusion: "Why does the Lord City Lord want to find a little person like me?"

Butler Xiao said: "The city lord naturally has his own considerations. I am just a servant and don't know about it."

"After you go there, you will naturally know!"

After Butler Xiao said that, he turned around and walked out.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to tell his father to take good care of Li Qing'er, and then quickly followed him.

Along the way, Cheng Mo made innuendoes and wanted to know why the city lord was looking for him.

It's a pity that Butler Xiao is very strict with his words. Even when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't find out anything from Butler Xiao.

Seeing that he had arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Mo stopped thinking about it.

Now we can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover us.

Cheng Mo looked around and saw that the entire outer wall of the city lord's palace was made of bluestone, like a solid fortress.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is very huge, made of fine steel, reflecting a cold light.

There were two teams of soldiers in iron armor guarding the gate.

A group of soldiers stood guard in front of the door, while another group of soldiers patrolled around.

Butler Xiao obviously has a high status in the city lord's mansion. Along the way, all the soldiers who saw him would salute him.

The soldiers guarding the gate opened a narrow side door next to the gate.

Butler Xiao led Cheng Mo in from the side door, and then led him all the way to the depths of the city lord's mansion.

As Cheng Mo walked along, he felt that the City Lord's Mansion was like a large garden, very vast.

As the two of them walked along, they encountered countless strange flowers and plants, as well as jagged and strange rocks.

Cheng Mo felt like they had walked for a long time before the two of them arrived at an exquisite attic.

Butler Xiao warned Cheng Mo: "This is the study of the city lord. You must be careful not to make any noise later."

Seeing Cheng Mo nod, Butler Xiao walked to the attic, knocked gently on the door, and said, "Sir, I have brought Cheng Mo to you!"

At this time, a burst of hearty laughter came from the attic.

With a creak, the attic door opened.

An old man wearing a black and gold robe, with white hair and a rosy complexion came out with a smile.

He looked at Cheng Mo and said with a smile: "He is indeed a heroic young man. This heroic figure alone can charm many young girls in Huaichun."

Cheng Mo clasped his fists and said, "Student has seen the Lord of the City!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Butler Xiao quietly retreated, and the Lord of the City brought Cheng Mo into the study.

In the study, there is a treasure case with agarwood carvings. There is a celadon vase on the table, with flower branches coming out of it, red, like burning flames.

Under the treasure vase, there is also an exquisitely crafted incense burner, in which the finest treasure incense is burning. The smoke curls up and condenses but never disperses.

On both sides are real jade shelves, two feet high, with many books placed on them, giving off a faint fragrance of ink.

After the two sat down on the chairs next to the treasure case, the city lord said directly: "My dear friend, I take the liberty of inviting you here because I have something to entrust you with."

As the Lord of the City spoke, he took out a book and handed it to Cheng Mo, and asked, "Is this book made by you?"

Cheng Mo glanced at it and found that it was the soul book he made himself, The Legend of Wukong.

He nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly my work."

The Lord City Lord smiled and said, "Your ability to write books is really extraordinary."

"I think I am well-informed, but I have never seen a book like yours."

"Not only is the content wonderful and profound, the ability to produce illusions and sounds when turning the pages is unique and amazing."

After the Lord of the City praised him, he said with some emotion: "I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in my life, but I could have stayed in the imperial capital as an official."

"But after all, I couldn't bear to leave my hometown, so I returned here and became a small city lord."

"When I get old, I feel that my life has been wasted and I have left nothing for future generations."

"After seeing your miraculous writing ability, little friend, I couldn't help but have an idea."

The city lord looked at Cheng Mo and said solemnly: "I want you, little friend, to write my life experience into a book."

"This way, I can also reminisce about the past during my free time."

"After a hundred years, I can leave some words for future generations to read. If it can help future generations, then my life will not be in vain!"

Hearing this, Cheng Mo suddenly realized. He immediately stood up and said, "I am fully aware of the City Lord's intentions."

"I will take over this matter and I will definitely satisfy you!"

The Lord of the City suddenly beamed with joy and laughed loudly and said: "Then I'll leave this matter to my nephew!"

He pointed to a bookshelf in the room and said: "On this bookshelf, there are some materials from my past."

"Since many of them involve imperial secrets, it is not convenient for outsiders to watch."

"My little friend, you can come and check it out at any time while you are creating."

"If you have any questions, we can also communicate with each other every afternoon, what do you think?"

Cheng Mo agreed immediately.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the city lord took Cheng Mo and talked about his ideas for the book.

After the two had a heart-to-heart talk, they became more and more interested in each other.

One is an old man who has been in the imperial officialdom for most of his life and has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

One is a young man who has lived two lives and thinks differently from ordinary people.

The two of them communicated with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time, and they were particularly in tune with each other.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Then Butler Xiao's voice came, "Sir, tonight's dinner is about to begin!"

Only then did the Lord City Lord remember that he had invited other people to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet tonight.

When Cheng Mo saw this, he quickly said: "Lord City Lord, in this case, I will leave first."

"Wait until tomorrow before disturbing your lord again."

The Lord City Lord thought for a moment and said, "My dear friend, please stay here for a moment."

"Speaking of which, you also know the protagonist of today's dinner. He is officially Director Su of Notting College."

"I heard that you two had some quarrels before. Today I will act as a go-between and let you two turn their feud into friendship. What do you think?"

When Cheng Mo heard the name Director Su, he immediately thought of how greedy and shameless he had been before, of being deliberately embarrassed and warned by the guards in the bookstore, and of Li Qing'er who was still lying in bed.

His face couldn't help but turn cold, and the room became silent for a moment!
