The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

August nine.

Go to Tianxu City.

Tianxu City is the first city, located in the center of the Floating Life Realm. Among the six cities, Wanjing City is relatively close to it, but it took three full days of wind and dust to see the city gate.

Qi Zhao got off the carriage, looked up and saw the towering city wall in front of him, the city gate was carved with black vines and wood, engraved with simple and mysterious wood grains, and the streets behind were bustling with prosperity.

Tianxu City had already sent people to wait outside. It was Qin Chong, the chief steward of the city lord's mansion. Seeing them coming, he hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, city lord, Mr. Qi, my city lord has been waiting for a long time, please follow me." Come."

Xie Shen hummed lightly, his brows and eyes were light, Qi Zhao watched from the side, and suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Xie Shen's indifferent appearance for a long time.

what to do?Inexplicably a little happy.

Qi Zhao swayed secretly, touched his nose after realizing it, and hurriedly followed.

Wanjing City was the last one to arrive. People from the other six cities had already arrived in the morning, but only Nie Pan, the lord of Phoenix City, and Yan Hui, the lord of Shuofang City, came in person. I had to send my confidant over.

When Qi Zhao followed Xie Shen into the study room, there were already six or seven people sitting inside, the person at the head looked up, his eyes seemed to be frozen, and there was no emotion inside.

Qi Zhao knew that this was Qin Lu, the lord of Tianxu City.

In "The First Birth of the Great Dao", Qin Lu is the character with the most fans besides Chi Mu.In his life, his name was Qin Xiu in the first half of his life. He was gentle and kind, and loved to help others. In the second half of his life, he was betrayed by his best friend. After going through the ups and downs of the world, he killed the righteous way. Qin Lu, the lord of Tianxu City.

Qi Zhao also liked him very much at the beginning, and tried hard to ask the author to write a side story about him. Later, the side story really came out. Qi Zhao's eyes were red for a long time after reading it, and he couldn't get over it for nearly a week.

Now I actually saw myself.

Qi Zhao's eyes lit up, Xie Shen next to him saw him, he stepped forward calmly to block his sight, and whispered, "Follow me."

"Huh? Oh..." Qi Zhao walked over disappointed, and sat down beside Xie Shen. After sitting for a while, he saw that Qin Lu was ready to discuss matters with them, and he knew that it was better for him to avoid it, so he said to Xie Shen, went out alone.

The sun was just right outside, surrounded by rockery and green lakes, Qi Zhao walked around the city lord's mansion with the snake-grain wood in his arms, and finally returned to the outside of the study, where there was a gazebo with sparkling water in the center of the lake.

Qi Zhao walked over holding the snake-grain wood, looked down at it: "I looked around, and I think the City Lord's Mansion in Wanjing City is better than that in Tianxu City."

Snakewood leaves dotted.

"But Qin Lu is really good-looking, not bad compared to Xie Shen, what do you think?"

"..."

The light on the Serpentine Wood's body faded a bit, and the leaves twisted to the side unhappily, the position was obvious.

Qi Zhao smiled: "You are too dedicated to be a fan of Xie Chengzhu...don't be angry, let me tell you a secret."

He smiled, lowered his head and lightly touched the top leaf of the serpentine wood, and said softly, "Actually, I also think that Xie Shen looks better."

The snake-grain tree froze for a moment, and quickly began to tremble. The temperature on the surface of the leaf suddenly rose a lot, and when it rubbed against Qi Zhao's cheek, it was warm and itchy.

It's so cute.

Qi Zhao bent his eyes and straightened up, just as he was about to continue teasing it, he suddenly heard someone behind him chuckle.

He turned around, and there was a young man in a light blue robe standing less than two meters away from him, with a slight smile on his lips, calm and gentle.

Knowing that the young man had seen the scene where he had played with the snake wood just now, Qi Zhao was a little embarrassed, and smiled with his lips pursed.

The young man came over and said kindly: "I think this fellow Taoist is also a Lingzhi teacher. I'm Chi Mu. What's my name?"

Ikeki? !

Qi Zhao was startled, and looked up at his neck, perhaps feeling that his reaction was a bit strange, and the eyes of the young man on the opposite side were filled with doubts: "What's wrong?"

When he was talking, Qi Zhao could also see clearly on his neck, where there was a light-colored petal birthmark, which couldn't be seen unless he looked carefully.

It's really Ikeki.

Qi Zhao was stunned for a while, and after a while, he saw a hand shaking in front of his eyes: "This fellow Taoist?"

Qi Zhao came back to his senses and said, "I am Qi Zhao."

Chi Mu smiled slightly, his eyes warm.

In "The First Life of the Great Dao", Qi Zhao liked Chi Mu very much, otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about following the text. He likes him not only because Chi Mu can understand the language of flowers and plants like him, but also because of Chi Mu's own temper.

Gentle and tenacious, forbearing and persistent.

Qi Zhao likes such people.

Qi Zhao was a little cautious, and remained silent for a long time, but it was Chi Mu who spoke first: "I entered the city the day before yesterday, for the purpose of planting spirit illusions in the future, and I met vampire vines last night, and happened to be seen by City Lord Qin. After being rescued, I will live in the City Lord's Mansion first."

He paused, and then said, "Are you also here to participate in the Planting Illusion? Maybe we can be together."

"We should be able to be together." Qi Zhao nodded, "I just became a spiritual planter not long ago, and there are many things I still don't understand, so I wanted to come out and see the world."

"It's always a good thing to look more." Chi Mu nodded, his eyes suddenly stopped on the snake-like wood in Qi Zhao's arms, and he laughed, "There is a wood with a coiled shape, the whole body is pitch black, covered with snake patterns, and its leaves are like awns. , Is it snakewood? I remember that it has always been unpleasant, and now it can stay in your arms so safely, it's pretty good."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, reaching out to touch the leaves of the serpentine wood.

I don't know why, but Qi Zhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, subconsciously took a step back, and Chi Mu's fingers were staggered against the leaves of the serpentine wood, and just stuck there.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

After Qi Zhao reacted, he tightened the Serpentine Wood uncomfortably: "I..."

Chi Mu stood with his eyes downcast and didn't say a word. Qi Zhao hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say. Seeing that he was going to be even more embarrassed, he suddenly heard someone calling him from a distance: "Qi Zhao."

It was Xie Shen's voice.

Qi Zhao responded and looked in the direction of the voice. Xie Shen stood there and waved to him lightly: "Come here."

Just in time.

Qi Zhao felt relieved, and quickly walked over with the snake-grain wood in his arms, and Chi Mu followed behind him, and cupped his hands at Xie Shen: "Thank you, the city lord."

City Lord Xie always had a cold and indifferent look to the people in Wanjing City, not to mention outsiders, he hummed lightly.Chi Mu seemed to want to say something, but Xie Shen spoke before him: "Let's go."

The words were naturally addressed to Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao said good, followed Xie Shen and took two steps, feeling a little embarrassed to leave Chi Mu there suddenly, afraid that he would think too much, so he looked back.

Noticing his gaze, Chi Mu raised his eyes, smiled and waved to him, his face shrouded in the sun, with just the right tenderness.

Qi Zhao was relieved, smiled back at him, turned around, and soon disappeared around the corner with Xie Shen.

Behind him, Chi Mu withdrew his gaze, looked down at his fingers, and slowly twisted them.

……

The residence prepared by Tianxu City for Xie Shen is a courtyard in the east, with elegant landscapes, which suits Xie Shen's preferences.

Just one point, there is only one bedroom in the whole yard.

Qi Zhao looked around, found out the problem, turned around and told Xie Shen, and asked, "Can I change the room?"

His thoughts have been ruthless lately, he is really afraid of accidentally doing something to Xie Shen at night.

Xie Shen glanced at him, and said calmly, "I've already asked, and they said that there are no other empty courtyards in the City Lord's Mansion."

Qi Zhao: "...It will be full if less than ten people come. Is Tianxu City's Lord's Mansion so poor?"

"Yeah." Xie Shen hummed calmly, then changed the topic, "I'm a little hungry, do you still have the snacks you brought?"

Before coming here, Meng Ran was afraid that Qi Zhao would be hungry on the way, so he packed a box full of snacks for him, which was very considerate.

"Yes, yes." Qi Zhao nodded, pointing to the stone table next to him, "Sit first, I'll get it."

Xie Shen smiled slowly: "Okay."

Qi Zhao turned around and entered the room, and their salutes were placed on the table by Tianxu City, which was very conspicuous.Qi Zhao turned out the food box, opened it and placed it on the stone table, watched Xie Shen take a bite, and asked, "How did you discuss it?"

"Qin Lu suspects that the person who controls the vampire vines is in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if he is not there, he will not be far away. I am afraid that there is an inner ghost in Tianxu City. You should pay attention these few days and don't move around. If you want to go out, remember -"

"Remember to bring the snakewood too, I know that."

Qi Zhao followed Xie Shen's words, thought for a while, and said, "However, I walked around the City Lord's Mansion today, and I didn't feel any fluctuations in demonic energy."

Master Lingzhi is born with strong perception ability, especially Qi Zhao. Since he can't feel it, then either the person who controls the blood-sucking vine is not in the city lord's mansion, or he is very good at hiding.

Xie Shen frowned: "I don't know much about the situation of Tianxu City yet, so let's wait for a while to see."

Qi Zhao thought about it for a while, and stopped talking about it, and pushed the food box over with a smile: "The thousand-layer cake made by Meng Ran is delicious, you should try it."

Xie Shen's eyes softened, and he raised his hand to pinch a piece.

There were not many snacks left in the food box, but because the two kept talking, they lasted until night.

The night in Tianxu City was very quiet and deserted, Qi Zhao covered the lid of the food box: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Going back means sharing the same bed, maybe even taking a bath, Xie Shen was really looking forward to this, and stood up.

The two walked slowly towards the house one after the other, and when they reached the door, they heard footsteps outside, Qi Zhao turned his head subconsciously, and saw someone hurried past their courtyard door.

It was Qin Lu.

It's so late, where did he go?

As soon as such an idea appeared, Qi Zhao suddenly felt that there was a faint evil energy around him.

This demonic energy was very faint, fleeting, as if it had never existed before.

Qi Zhao frowned, and couldn't help but look towards where Qin Lu came from.

It was shrouded in darkness, hazy.

It is the direction of the forbidden area behind the mountain.
