System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality
Chapter 121 The city lord invites you
That night, only shopkeeper He and Renda returned to Deji Hall. Yin Jing detained Dr. Zhang in the city lord's mansion on the pretext of "occasionally feeling cold and slightly unwell."
He also said that several of his friends have old problems accumulated over the years. I heard that Dr. Zhang’s apprentice practices in Tianguan Sect and his medical skills are even more amazing. If shopkeeper He could call that disciple back to see them, maybe the medicine would cure the illness.
Shopkeeper He knew what Yin Jing meant, but he had no other choice. My junior brother is in the hands of the city lord, and he doesn't know what kind of inhuman treatment he will receive in the city lord's mansion. Even if Shen Xia is busy at Tianguan Sect, he should be able to find time to come back, right?
Shopkeeper He’s initial plan was for Renda to take the fairy boat directly to Qingyun City to find Shen Xia, but the two officials guarding the door of Deji Hall told Shopkeeper He and Renda that they could not leave Deji Hall at will. Just let the government servants do it for you.
I had no choice but to write letters. I wrote several letters but they all came to nothing and there was no reply at all. Yin Jing got impatient with waiting, and directly used the private power of the city lord to find a random name to seal Deji Hall. As for Zhang Yanan? Just throw him into a private prison and don't care whether he lives or dies.
It was more than half a month before Shen Xia came back. Shen Xia saw the door of Deji Hall closed when she came back. As for the Escort Agency, shopkeeper He knew that Shen Xia had contacts with people from the Escort Agency, so he asked Renda to secretly send a message to them while they were out buying food, telling them to stay away from Tiansheng City in the near future.
For the first ten days after the store was closed, apart from going out of the city, Shopkeeper He and Renda could at least walk around Tiansheng City. Later, Yin Jing issued a message and banned Shopkeeper He and Renda, and they could only stay in Deji Hall. Not allowed to go anywhere.
Shopkeeper He and Renda in Deji Tang don’t know how to cook. They used their amazing perseverance and talent to make a bunch of dark dishes (of course, it’s mainly Renda’s credit). Shopkeeper He is so thin that his pants are one size too small. .
"Sorry, I didn't pick up the letters during that time. I didn't know..." That period happened to be when Shen Xia frequently received various threatening letters and death packages. Shen Xia had only opened a few at the beginning. She didn't bother with the outside of the package, so naturally she didn't know that Dejitang had sent her a letter.
"That's it now, Shen Xia, do you have anything to eat with you?" Shopkeeper He asked.
Shen Xia wore the disciple's uniform and entered the backyard of Deji Hall again. The guards who were watching would definitely come over later to "invite" Shen Xia to the city lord's palace. Shopkeeper He and Renda were still hungry and were still drinking today. Water to satisfy hunger.
"Ah, there is some." Shen Xia said as she took out things from her backpack. It contained some food that she usually stocked up on, as well as some light food.
Before they could take a few bites, there was another knock on the door in the backyard. Shopkeeper He and Renda only paused for a moment before continuing to eat. There was a loud knock on the backyard door. After Renda swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, he was about to get up and open the door, but was stopped by Shen Xia.
"Uncle, Renda, you continue to eat, I'll go." Shen Xia took a pair of chopsticks on the table and opened the door.
"Who? What's the matter?"
The door to the backyard of Deji Hall was opened, and what came into Chen Tianyi's eyes was a woman with peerless beauty. Chen Tianyi was stunned. He had never seen such a woman before. There were a lot of beautiful women in the capital, but this was the first time he had seen such a water lotus with its own cold temperament. No, it was the second time he had seen it. Tiansheng City is really a place where Feng Shui nourishes people.
Chen Tianyi wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, bowed and said, "Hello, girl, I'm Chen Tianyi, the aide to the mayor of Tiansheng City. Is this girl Shen Xia?"
"Yes." Shen Xia stood at the door with a deserted expression.
"I've heard about the girl's name a long time ago, and today when I saw her, it seemed that there were thousands of stars and all kinds of splendor between her eyes." Chen Tianyi said.
Shen Xia crossed her arms and remained silent. She looked at the dozen or so government servants in front of the door. Why, were she still worried that she would not follow them and engage in "violent law enforcement"?
"Miss Shen, Master Shen is simply the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. The headache that has troubled our Lord Yin for many years has been treated by many doctors in the royal capital, but it has no effect. Doctor Zhang has brought rejuvenation as soon as he takes action. No, I specially asked you to invite you, He The shopkeeper will go to the City Lord's Mansion for a small gathering together as a way of thanking Deji Hall." Chen Tianyi also handed over an invitation in a decent manner.
Shen Xia didn't answer, and still had the same attitude. She waited for Chen Tianyi for a while before saying: "No hurry, my uncle and the others are eating. I'm afraid I will let down the city lord's good intentions. Since the medicine has cured the disease, what's the point?" Please send my master back."
Chen Tianyi's expression changed, and more than a dozen government servants behind him drew their swords.
When Shen Xia saw this, she smiled instead: "What? What are the rules in Tiansheng City now? Can we draw swords at will in the city?"
As he spoke, he threw the chopsticks in his hand casually, and the two chopsticks grazed Chen Tianyi's left and right sides quickly, and then only heard two sounds of collision with the knife. Chen Tianyi looked back and saw that the knives in the hands of the two servants closest to him had been broken into two pieces and fell to the ground, and the two chopsticks were inserted straight into the bluestone bricks at the feet of the servants.
"According to the city regulations of Tiansheng City, residents can take certain measures according to the actual situation when their life safety is threatened. It seems that this rule is still posted at the gate of Tiansheng City, right? Or has the new city owner changed this rule?"
"You!" Chen Tianyi was frightened by Shen Xia's move and did not dare to act rashly.
"Since my master is showing off his skills in the city lord's palace, the city lord must have rewarded my master with good things, so I will go with you. As for my uncle and the others, they can just stay in Deji Hall. Mr. Chen, look at this Can we arrange it?" Although Shen Xia asked Chen Tianyi with a smile, Chen Tianyi felt that there was no room for rejection in Shen Xia's tone.
"Haha, Miss Shen is very filial. If Shopkeeper He doesn't want to go, just go. The city lord will understand and won't blame him if he finds out." Chen Tianyi said with a smile.
Renda also came out at this time. Shen Xia turned around and whispered: "Renda, I will go to the city lord's mansion to pick up my master. You and my uncle can just stay in Deji Hall. Don't run around anywhere. Take the peace charms I prayed for you before." Wear it all close to your body, do you hear me?"
"I've been wearing it close to my body..." Renda replied. As early as when the three of them went to the city lord's mansion for a banquet, they all put on the peace charms that Shen Xia had prayed for for them. They didn't dare to take them off for the past few days and hung them around their necks when taking a shower.
Shen Xia nodded, and looked as cold as ice when facing Chen Tianyi and the others: "Mr. Chen, lead the way."
Chen Tianyi and the others came over. Their original plan was to "take" Shen Xia and Shopkeeper He back to the city lord's mansion so that the people in Xicheng District could see the whereabouts of the city lord who had offended them. Now, Shen Xia and Chen Tianyi were walking in front side by side, followed by more than a dozen palace officials. Shen Xia looked more like someone who came from the city lord's palace than Chen Tianyi.
When she was about to reach the city lord's mansion, Shen Xia heard a familiar, long-lost prompt.
