Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Ruan Qiu was not surprised when Tang Li came.

They only met yesterday at Liutongchun Pavilion, and Ruan Qiu came forward to help him out, and also knew that he sold the spiritual grass that Tang Xun didn't want to Liutongchun Pavilion without telling Tang Xun.Even if it was just because Tang Li sold the Thousand Illusion Grass to Ruan Qiu despite the temptation of three times the spirit stones when they met yesterday, Ruan Qiu believed that he was not a bad person, and he believed Tang Li when he said he would come.

However, Tang Li's arrival was a bit unlucky. When he saw the food on the table, he knew that he had disturbed Ruan Qiu. Seeing his awkward expression, Ruan Qiu smiled and waved, "Friend Daoist Tang, sit down together."

Tang Li hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no. The reason why you came to bother Ruan Daoyou so late is because you came to look for my shopkeeper today..." He hesitated to speak, and looked at Song Xinting and A Xi.

Ruan Qiu said: "But it's okay to say."

Tang Li hesitated for a moment, then looked towards the courtyard wall outside the house, "I've also heard about today's incident. The shopkeeper has always disliked that Ye Qiao. I didn't see you today, so I didn't mean to target you. He's still angry now. I have to go back quickly, what do you want to know, I have been with the shopkeeper for several years, I know him well, and I know where he went last night."

"Is he still angry?" Ruan Qiu laughed, but seeing Tang Li looking at the neighbor from time to time, as if he was afraid that Tang Xun would call him suddenly, so he had no choice but to bluntly say, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper to ask him about the whereabouts of this ancient copper coin." If he refuses to see me, I can check it out myself, Fellow Daoist Tang Li, if you know where he went last night, can you tell us?"

"Of course, the shopkeeper just doesn't want to explain to Ye Qiao." Tang Li hesitated, "Actually, the shopkeeper learned from the Song family last night."

Song Xinting was a little stunned, "Song Family Studies?"

Ruan Qiu looked at him, "Brother knows?"

In fact, Song Xinting has been a little uncomfortable since he entered Shifang City, especially when he went to see the Lord Song that day.Ruan Qiu probably guessed that he might not want to contact the Song family because of Song Jingfeng's relationship, but Song Xinting should have come to Shifang City for the first time.

Ah Xi looked at them in confusion.

Song Xinting said: "A few days ago, I heard about it when I asked Third Brother Zhao about the news. Xiaoqiu also knew that the owners of the City Lord's Mansion are the Song family. In Shifang City, the Song family is the largest family. This huge family has the City Lord's Mansion. Zhao Fu also cultivates talents for the City Lord's Mansion. Compared with Xuanjizong, the Song family's family studies are not bad, but not only the Song family can enter the family study to learn and practice, people who have some relationship with the Song family can also, but the Song family does not It will be in vain, only those who are truly talented and capable can get the support of the Song family, and generally those who cannot build a foundation will be abandoned by the Song family."

"That's right. And before entering the Song family, there will be a test on the spiritual root before school and after the age of ten. At that time, it can be seen whether the person has the innate conditions for building a foundation. Generally speaking, people with poor roots who cannot build a foundation will I was sent out of ethnology after the age of 15." Tang Li said in shame: "My parents are servants of the Song family, and I was lucky enough to enter the ethnology, but my roots are too poor to build a foundation. So when the big shopkeeper left the city lord's mansion, I begged the big shopkeeper to take me away with me."

Song Xinting asked: "Then what did shopkeeper Tang go to the Song family to learn last night? And how did the blood on his clothes come from?"

Tang Li hurriedly said: "The treasurer's purpose is to save people." He looked at Ruan Qiu, "Do you still remember, Daoist Ruan, I told you yesterday when I was at the Spring Pavilion in Liutong, that my younger brother is learning to practice in the Song family, and it is almost finished. Foundation. My younger brother’s foundation is better than mine, but it is also difficult to build a foundation. He is already seventeen this year. If he can’t build a foundation again, he will be invited to study ancestry next year. I said yesterday that it was for him to build a foundation smoothly. I need spiritual stones, but it’s not true, my younger brother failed to build a foundation, and suffered backlash from his skills, and was seriously injured. I need a lot of spiritual medicines, but I have already borrowed a lot of spiritual stones from the big shopkeeper.”

"I don't want to bother the big shopkeeper anymore, so I secretly sold the Thousand Illusion Grass, and the price will not be lowered too low only in Liutong Spring Pavilion, but I didn't expect to meet Ye Qiao yesterday. Daoist Ruan helped me conceal this matter, but unfortunately, after I went back, the shopkeeper already knew about it."

Tang Li lowered his head wearily, "There was a commotion in the pavilion yesterday, and many people recognized me. It was I who shamed the big shopkeeper. But the big shopkeeper didn't blame me, and helped me pick up my younger brother from the Song family school. , the big shopkeeper is just hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but he is actually very good! The blood on the clothes..."

Tang Li showed displeasure, and gritted his teeth: "Because of the relationship between me and the big shopkeeper leaving the city lord's mansion, my brother has been excluded in the ethnology. This time, my brother failed to build a foundation, and the Song family decided to abandon him. Those people will make trouble and bully him." My younger brother. Yesterday, the shopkeeper and I quietly entered the Song Clan School, just in time for them to bully my younger brother, so..."

Ruan Qiu said, "Did shopkeeper Tang make a move?"

Tang Li nodded, "The big shopkeeper didn't really do anything to them, he just scared them away. The blood on the clothes belonged to my brother. The big shopkeeper placed him with the ancestry doctor he had made friends with before, and when he came back , it's already dawn."

Ruan Qiu couldn't figure it out, "What's wrong with Shopkeeper Tang going to the Song family to study yesterday? He can prove his innocence by himself."

Tang Li shook his head and smiled wryly, "The shopkeeper is very stubborn. Ever since he left the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't want to set foot in the City Lord's Mansion again. At the same time, he also distanced himself from the Song Family. He didn't want anyone to know that he had been to the Song Family to study. But I can prove that the shopkeeper did not go to Liutong Spring Pavilion last night. If you don’t believe me, you can go to my brother and the doctor who took him in. They can all testify for the shopkeeper. Let the city lord misunderstand!"

But Tang Xun would rather be misunderstood than explain that he went to the Song family school.

They didn't speak, so Tang Li knelt down on the spot, Ruan Qiu hurriedly got up to support him, "Hey, what are you doing!"

Ruan Qiu was so strong that Tang Li was forced to stand up, so he had to plead: "I beg you to help the shopkeeper! If you want to know, I will ask for you. I don't want to involve the shopkeeper because of me and my brother. If this matter If you make a fuss with the city lord, my shopkeeper might... please, as long as you help the shopkeeper prove that he is innocent!"

Song Xinting didn't like being persecuted, and he didn't like Ruan Qiu being forced to deal with this matter. He said, "Your chief shopkeeper doesn't intend to prove your innocence. How can you help us?"

He was telling the truth, and Ruan Qiu said helplessly: "I don't want to interfere with the shopkeeper Tang's affairs, but I don't want anyone to slander anyone by taking advantage of the fact that Sister Hanyue was seriously injured by gangsters. I will investigate what you said Clearly, as for proving the innocence of Shopkeeper Tang, even if City Master Song comes, if Shopkeeper Tang is innocent, City Master Song can't beat him to death, right?"

Tang Li was still very sad, "But my shopkeeper has long since broken with City Lord Song. Although I have never met City Lord Song, every time he mentions City Lord Song, the big shopkeeper's face is very ugly. Some people say that City Lord Song wants us to be big The life of the shopkeeper..."

Ruan Qiu asked Tang Li, "But hasn't your shopkeeper been safe and sound in Shifang City these years? Jinxiufang's business is getting bigger and bigger. Has it been suppressed by the City Lord's Mansion these years?"

Tang Li was stunned, "It seems that there is no..."

Ruan Qiu thought about it for a while, and always felt that if City Lord Song wanted to touch Tang Xun, with his ability, he wouldn't be able to endure Tang Xun for eight years without doing anything.

Ruan Qiu didn't think about the things he couldn't figure out. He took out the blood-stained bronze coin and said, "I really want to ask you to help me once. What impression do you have when you look at this bronze coin?"

Tang Li didn't dare to touch it. He stared at the ancient copper coin for a while, then shook his head in confusion, "I haven't seen it before. I heard it's the evidence left by that villain?"

Ruan Qiu saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, "I'm not sure yet. The thing was found on Sister Hanyue, but this thing is quite rare. It doesn't seem like something that Sister Hanyue can have. It probably belongs to that person. I heard that, Your shopkeeper has six of these ancient copper coins in his hands, and they have been made into a bracelet, which he often wore on his hand when he was still in the City Lord's Mansion."

Tang Li shook his head again and again, "No! I have never seen this ancient copper coin, but..." He scratched his head, "I only came to serve the big shopkeeper two months before he left the City Lord's Mansion. The shopkeeper was seriously injured and he was recuperating in the city lord's mansion. I have been with the shopkeeper for more than eight years, and I have never seen him wearing the bracelet you mentioned, and I didn't know before that."

Ruan Qiu lightly picked up the ancient copper coin, thoughtfully said: "I know, but I still need your help to find out."

Tang Li responded immediately, looking at the courtyard wall frequently, "Then I'll go back first, the shopkeeper hasn't used his spiritual power for a long time, and today he became angry again, and his complexion has not been very good. I am afraid that his old injury will recur."

After all, it was an acquaintance, Ruan Qiu asked concerned: "Is his injury serious?"

Tang Li looked puzzled, "I don't know, the big shopkeeper won't let me speak out, but since I left the city lord's mansion, I haven't seen the big shopkeeper make a move for many years. He was also a leader in sword use, and he belonged to the Song family. A genius in the school, his sword name is Moonlight Flower Forest, it is said that it was given to him by the young city lord who adopted him in the past, even the name of the big shopkeeper was given by the young city lord, unfortunately... that young city lord is now The father of City Lord Song who passed away early."

"The moon shines on the flowers and forests like hail..."

Ruan Qiu sighed softly, "It sounds like it should be the spirit sword of your shopkeeper."

After all, Tang Li was worried about Tang Xun, so he left Ruan Qiu the address of the doctor who took his younger brother to the Song family, and left in a hurry.

A Xi sent him out, Ruan Qiu sat in the room, brushed the edge of the ancient copper coin with his fingertips, and murmured: "Tang shopkeeper has not worn this bracelet made of ancient copper coins for eight years, is there a possibility?" , Has his bracelet been lost? Every piece of this set of bronze coins is different, it would be great if we could find out who owned this bronze coin nine years ago."

"Then only shopkeeper Tang knows." Song Xinting watched Ruan Qiu grow up, and when he heard him say that, he knew what he was going to do, so he had no choice but to say: "Going to learn from the Song family? Then you have to eat first. Your spiritual power has not recovered yet."

"Just to see if what Tang Li said is true or not." Ruan Qiu was a little worried again, "But that man in black might come to silence him, what Zhuang Jiu said makes sense, sister Hanyue might have bumped into that person What a secret, that person definitely doesn't want her to wake up, brother, or else, you just..."

Song Xinting directly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his hands, and said solemnly: "The city lord's mansion has arranged dark guards for the opposite side, the man's cultivation base was high last night, and those hidden guards' cultivation bases are not low, how can I help you if I stay here Not to mention Sister Hanyue, you, me and Axi also saw the man in black last night, and we have this copper coin in our hands, maybe we will be silenced. I don’t know if Tang Li is talking about it Really, will it be a trap there, I will go too."

Ruan Qiu had no choice but to nod, he had the remaining two sword intents, even if Song Cheng took the initiative, he would still be able to save his life.But if anyone is left here alone, they may all be silenced. They have no one to protect them, so it's better to stay together.

When Ah Xi came back after closing the door, Ruan Qiu asked her again. Ah Xi was also very scared to hear what they said. Even if Ruan Qiu said that she could go to the opposite side for a night, she still felt that it was safer to stay with Ruan Qiu. , the three of them went out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, two black figures jumped down from the courtyard wall opposite the door.

Song Xinting immediately summoned the spirit sword, and the two men wearing silver masks hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, we are the hidden guards of Yinlongwei, and we are ordered to protect you. Are you going out?"

It was the first time for Ruan Qiu to see the hidden guards guarding next door, and he was surprised when he heard their words, "But senior Zhuang arranged for you to come here, isn't it Mei Hanyue who wants you to protect?"

Song Xinting looked at them suspiciously.

The two hidden guards were afraid that they would not believe them, so they took out the badges with the seal of the City Lord's Mansion, "We are here to protect you under the order of the City Lord, especially a disciple of the Xuanji Sect named Ruan Qiu."

After seeing their badges, Ruan Qiu naturally believed that they were members of Yinlongwei. After thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to explain, "City Lord Song is probably afraid that something will happen to me, and we will not be able to do what he wants us to do." He said He gave Song Xinting a reassuring look, and politely bowed his hands to the two hidden guards, "We are going out for a while, so please take care of the two seniors."

The two said you're welcome, but didn't stop them, but shifted into the darkness like a ghost.If Ruan Qiu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could still feel the slightly changed aura in the air, and thought their appearance was an illusion.

Ruan Qiu looked back at Song Xinting and Axi.

Seeing this, Song Xinting took back the summoned spirit sword with a clear expression on his face.

"At least above the golden core stage."

At the same time, Yin Wuchen also communicated with Ruan Qiu.

"A half-step Nascent Soul, an early Nascent Soul."

Ruan Qiu couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the words, and whispered: "It seems that City Lord Song really cares about what we are doing."

Ash felt relieved and said with a smile, "It feels different now that someone is protecting me."

Song Xinting felt relieved, "Let's go."

Ruan Qiu nodded.

The Song family has its own family and branches. The family in Shifang City is the main family. The junction of the inner city and the outer city is far away from their residence.The doctor Tang Li mentioned that Tang Xun was acquainted with lived near the Song Clan School, within the outer city limits.

Because the city lord's mansion is in the inner city, there is a curfew in the inner city at night. In contrast, the rules in the outer city are much less. Usually the night market lights are on all night, and the morning market starts again. It's just that Doctor Song lives a bit remote. This is not so easy to find.

The three of them groped for a long time at night, and finally found the vicinity of Dr. Song's residence.

"According to Tang Li, once you find this archway, it shouldn't be far away." Song Xinting said, looking at the empty street ahead.

"This doctor lives in a remote place, and there is no one around. If something happens, it's too late to call for help." The evening wind in early spring was still a bit cold, and Ah Xi hugged the little weasel, trying to disperse it with the warm fur. A little chill.

Ruan Qiu laughed, "Quietness has its advantages. It's pretty good to find such a quiet place in the outer city."

Song Xinting looked at the map, turned around and said to them, "It's just ahead, it should be that house..." He pointed to the house on the other side of the lake, which was about a hundred feet away. word.

Song house.

In Shifang City, most of the people surnamed Song belonged to the Song family, and with the support of the Song City Lord's mountain, no one dared to look down on the Song family.

Ruan Qiu looked at the Song House on the other side of the lake, and then looked at the nearby area, because it was located in a remote place, and the surrounding area was dark and gloomy, and the bright Song House stood out, "It doesn't feel right."

Ah Xi stood on her tiptoes and looked over there, "What's wrong? It's just too bright. They must have lit a lot of lanterns, right?"

Hearing what Ruan Qiu said, Song Xinting couldn't help but take a few more glances at Song's house opposite.

"Not a lantern!"

The reflection of Song's house clearly appeared on the clear lake, and a few sparks jumped to the eaves, and soon fell under the courtyard wall.

Ruan Qiu saw clearly this time, "It's fire! Go, it's on fire over there!"

The fire has already burned to the eaves, how can we hide it?While Ruan Qiu was speaking, the flames over there became more and more obvious. He hurriedly summoned Ruozhirou Yujian, and Song Xinting and Axi also hurriedly followed.

In just a short moment, when they arrived at the gate of Song Zhai, the fire in the courtyard was getting bigger and bigger, almost engulfing the house inside.

Ruan Qiu pushed lightly, and the door opened.

The door was unlocked, and after opening the door, they could see the raging fire inside more intuitively.Under the light of the fire, several people in the courtyard fell on the messy ground covered with herbs, their bodies were covered with blood. The man in black they had just seen last night was standing at the feet of two of them, wrapped in a cloak, with his hands covered. Wearing black gloves, not a trace of skin was exposed.

Ruan Qiu said in surprise, "It's you!"

The man also turned his head back at the same time, but he seemed a little afraid of Ruan Qiu, a spiritual power surged out of his hand, which turned into a sharp wind blade, and was about to hit the man at his feet.Ruan Qiu had a bad heart, and hurriedly raised his hand to make a tactic, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a jet of water surged out, directly blocking the wind blade.

Ruan Qiu resisted for a moment, which was enough for the two hidden guards to emerge from the shadows.

The man in black was flanked by two people back and forth, so he had to give up the wind blade and concentrate on dealing with the two, but it was just a meeting, and he was pushed to the courtyard wall under the attack of the two.

Probably out of reconciliation, the man in black stood on the wall for a moment, looked back at the direction Ruan Qiu was in, and then flew away.

Song Xinting was a step late, between Ruan Qiu and the man in black, he decisively swung his sword towards the wind blade.Without the control of the man in black, the wind blade collapsed in an instant. Ruan Qiu staggered a few steps, barely standing still, but watched helplessly as the man in black ran away again. Just as he was about to catch up, one of the hidden guards chased him out first. Outside the courtyard, "Fellow Daoist Ruan, don't worry, let's go after him!"

Seeing that the two shadows followed the man in black and left, Song Xinting supported Ruan Qiu, "If they can't catch up, we can't catch up either."

Ruan Qiu also knew not to be in a hurry, but he felt somewhat unwilling in his heart, "I ran into this person again, I hope they can catch up."

Seeing that they were all right, Ah Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. She caught a glimpse of a person on the ground out of the corner of her eye and exclaimed again, "Ah! That person is still alive!"

Ruan Qiu hurried over when he heard the words, and walked to the side of the person the man in black was going to kill earlier.

Looking at the man's attire, Ruan Qiu didn't need to think too much, he knew that this was the doctor Tang Xun knew. He checked Doctor Song's breath and pulse to make sure that he was still breathing.

It's just that the internal injury is quite serious, the injury is in the dantian, and it almost collapsed. After a quick diagnosis, Ruan Qiu quickly administered Xiaohuandan to heal his injury.

Song Xinting and Axi also went to inspect the other two young children on the ground, probably because they arrived in time, the two children dressed as medicine boys just passed out, because of the fall, the blood on their bodies looked Somewhat scary.

Seeing that Ruan Qiu was healing Doctor Song, Song Xinting went into the room again to have a look.

The fire in the main room was getting bigger and bigger, and the beams of the house were crumbling, but soon, Song Xinting came out with a young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face on his back.

When Ruan Qiu withdrew his spiritual power, he happened to see Song Xinting put the boy down, and he asked, "Tang Li's younger brother? How is he?"

"Fortunately, he was just choked by the thick smoke." Song Xinting said, "Looking at the fracture on his left leg, it should be Tang Li's younger brother."

Ruan Qiu frowned and said, "Doctor Song is seriously injured, especially in his dantian, the golden dantian has already cracked, and his cultivation might fall...The two children are fine, they just fell into a coma."

The Song Zhai courtyard is not small, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't burn the green brick floor in the courtyard, but the fire in the courtyard is so bright that the scalding heat is blown by the evening wind, which still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Song Xinting put out the fire with a trick, and the loss of Song Zhai was not light, especially the people.Fortunately, some houses can still be used by people, and Dr. Song's house has a lot of medicinal materials. Even if most of them are burned, the rest can be used first.After they settled Dr. Song and the others, they picked some medicinal materials to boil the medicine. After finishing their work, the two hidden guards finally came back.

Seeing that there was no one behind them, Ruan Qiu knew that they had missed the man in black.

Sure enough, one of the hidden guards said: "That person should be very familiar with the terrain outside Shifang City. We accidentally lost it when we followed him to the market."

Ruan Qiu frowned. He had always had doubts in his heart, and he didn't understand until now, "This person should not be the man in black from last night. Although he was dressed the same, his cultivation base was not as high as that person's, and he felt the same when he shot. no the same."

Song Xinting agreed: "Last night, I couldn't even resist his blow, but just now, we were able to block his murderous wind blade."

The aura of the man in black was obviously stronger last night. With a wave of his hand, Song Xinting was powerless to make a move, and his body was full of murderous aura.

The two dark guards looked at each other, and said hesitantly: "I think that person just now is only in the Nascent Soul Stage, slightly taller than us."

Ruan Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "That's the middle or late stage of Nascent Soul."

That's obviously not the man in black last night. Song Xinting had a guess, "The man in black should have a companion last night. Is it possible that the man just now was his companion?"

Ruan Qiu said, "Maybe."

The two hidden guards blamed themselves for not being able to catch up with them, and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyou Ruan, we have already notified the brothers nearby, and if they find anyone unusual, they will send us a letter."

Ruan Qiu nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Then I would like to thank you both. You are tired after working hard in the middle of the night. Let's take a rest first."

Before I knew it, it was almost dawn.

Just at this moment, Ah Xi ran out of the house and told them excitedly, "Senior Brother Song, Brother Xiaoqiu, that doctor is awake!"

"I gonna go see!"

Ruan Qiu went straight into the room without saying a word, and saw that Doctor Song was already sitting on the head of the bed. His face was pale, but he still looked very young.Ruan Qiu saw that he was in good condition and in good spirits, so he asked, "Senior is Doctor Song, right?"

Doctor Song looked at him and Song Xinting and Axi behind him in a daze, until he saw the two hidden guards, his vigilant expression relaxed a little bit, "Are you from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The two guards are, but we are not." Ruan Qiu said as he handed him the elixir on the bedside, "I am the neighbor of the treasurer of Jinxiu Fang, Tang Da, and I am here tonight to visit him for his servant Tang Li. Your younger brother. Doctor Song is seriously injured, these are some Huiyuan Pills that I refined, although they cannot heal your injuries, they can make you more comfortable."

"Tang Xun? It's him." Dr. Song suddenly realized, and he really took the bottle of Huiyuan Pill, "Thank you, fellow daoists, I think you were the ones who saved me, I don't know my two drug boys..."

"They are all fine, but you are the most seriously injured." Song Xinting stepped forward and said, "Doctor Song, who is the man in black who came to kill you tonight, and what kind of enmity did you have with him?"

Doctor Song was obviously relieved, and said with a wry smile: "I don't recognize that person. He is more cultivated than me. He wants to hide his face. I have no choice but to do so. I don't know why he wants to kill me."

Axi wondered: "But he didn't know you, so why did he kill you? Doctor Song, have you met anyone recently, or offended anyone by accident? Last night there was a black man dressed exactly like this man. Yiren wanted to kill someone in Liutongchun Pavilion, but he wanted to kill the steward in the pavilion, did Doctor Song have any contact with Liutongchun Pavilion?"

Dr. Song saw that she was younger, her tone was much gentler, and her face was still confused, "In addition to refining alchemy and going out of the city to collect herbs, I usually treat the children in the ethnology school for medical treatment and rarely go out. I went there once many years ago. Liutong Chunge, but he also went for the spirit grass, so he probably didn’t offend anyone. Recently... he didn’t do anything either.”

Hearing what he said, Ruan Qiu's expression suddenly changed, and he said firmly: "No, you did do something recently, and it is very likely that you have provoked the man in black tonight because of it. You have met shopkeeper Tang and know that he is going to I have studied the Song family and know that he did not go to Liutong Spring Pavilion last night, you are the witness who can prove the innocence of shopkeeper Tang, someone wants to kill you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was astonished.

Doctor Song said in a daze, "You mean, that person came after Tang Xun?"

"maybe."

This is just Ruan Qiu's own guess.

Just at this time, the sun came out, and a ray of sunlight shone into the house through the window.

Ruan Qiu frowned tightly, "If this is the case, the people behind the scenes must hope that you will die without testimony, so that all the crimes can be pushed to the shopkeeper Tang. Moreover, Senior Zhuang said yesterday that this matter will be handled by City Lord Song. good……"

Ruan Qiu suddenly had a bad guess, "One night has passed, and you are still alive. The people behind the scenes must be anxious and unable to touch you. Maybe they will press this crime on Shopkeeper Tang before you testify. Shopkeeper Tang is now dangerous!"

At this time, the inner city not far away.

The carriage engraved with the logo of the City Lord's Mansion stopped at the quiet alley. Ye Qiao got off the carriage and walked quickly to the closed gate of the Tang family. The servant beside him knocked on the door consciously.

Not long after, the door of the Tang family was opened, and it was Tang Li who came. When he saw Ye Qiao, he froze in the middle of his yawn.

"Ye, Manager Ye?"

Tang Li served Tang Shi for eight years, so he naturally knew that Ye Qiao was one of the people Tang Shi hated the most, and he would never allow Ye Qiao to step into his territory, so he hurriedly closed the door a little, revealing only half of his body. Nodding his head, "Guan Ye, please go back. My shopkeeper is in a bad mood recently, and I don't see anyone."

When Ye Qiao saw him for the first time, there was a look of astonishment on his face, "It's you, the little brother who was going to produce Thousand Illusion Grass the day before yesterday?"

Tang Li hesitated.

He didn't really have a good impression of Ye Qiao, especially when he was humiliated at Liutong Chunge the day before yesterday, but in the end Ye Qiao also apologized to him, saying that he wouldn't keep a cold face if he didn't slap people with smiling faces. , Then he said: "It's me, you should go back, the big shopkeeper will not see you, the big shopkeeper said, if you still ask him to blame him for what happened yesterday, unless the city lord comes, no one will see you."

He was about to close the door as he said that, but Ye Qiao's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He put one hand on the door and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, little brother. You should call shopkeeper Tang out first. The person he wants to see has already arrived."

"who?"

Tang Li looked confused.

Ye Qiao looked at the carriage outside the door, a group of mighty city guards were guarding the carriage, and Song Lao and Zhuang Jiu stood at the front.Although Tang Li had never met the City Lord Song, his eyes widened when he saw this posture. In Shifang City, besides the City Lord, who else had the face to control Song Lao and Zhuang Jiu.

City Lord Song!

Tang Li was just a young boy. Realizing this, he immediately froze in shock. Should he open the door now?

But the shopkeeper...

Probably Tang Li's luck was really bad. As soon as he thought of Tang Sie, Tang Sie came out wearing a moon-white home long gown. He hadn't even put on a hair crown yet, and his hair was half-draped. He looked a little lazy. He didn't see anyone outside the door, only saw Tang Li standing in front of the door with his butt pouted.

"Tang Li, what's the matter with you? Didn't you hear me when I asked you to fetch water?"

Although his voice was not loud, everyone outside could hear it. Ye Qiao's eyes turned to look at Tang Li, and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile.

Tang Li gasped, and froze in front of the door, not daring to move or speak.

Tang Xun was very impatient, but he was not stupid. Guessing that there might be someone outside the door, he frowned, then quickly walked over and pulled Tang Li away, and pushed the door open, "Who is outside, how can you talk to me?" It's like seeing a ghost... oh, it's you."

Like Tang Li, Ye Qiao was the first thing Tang Xun saw. He sneered and said angrily, "Guan Ye, what are you doing here? Can't you understand what I said yesterday?"

Ye Qiao was still smiling, unhurriedly looking at the carriage outside the door.

"It's not that I am willing to come. Didn't shopkeeper Tang want the city lord to personally decide what happened yesterday? Well, the city lord is here right now."

"what?"

Only then did Tang Xun notice the carriage outside the door.

Just in time, a hand with a very fair complexion lifted the curtain of the car, and the icy face of the city lord of Song Dynasty, bullying frost and snow, was revealed.

Seeing this amazing face clearly, Tang Xun's face suddenly turned pale, and then he looked at Ye Qiao with a cold face, "Okay, Mr. Ye is a capable manager, the majestic Lord of Shifang City, if you say please, you will really come."

Ye Qiao's smile remained the same, "Isn't it all thanks to Master Tang's blessing?"

The author has something to say:

Come on, I'm late again! qaq
