Traveling through the World of Beasts: The Story of the General's Favorite Wife Farming

The city lord here is also quite funny, after hearing Xuanyuan Yi's name, he ran out of Baihualou in a hurry, not even fully dressed.The two eyes were black like pandas, if the guard next to him called him the city lord respectfully, He Lianqi would have thought it was a gambler who ran out from some corner.

Inside the inn, there were two rows of guards standing at the door, the city lord knelt down and kowtowed to Xuanyuan Yi, who was eating at the wooden table, in disheveled clothes. "Meet the general."

Said that a city lord does not need to bow down to a general?No.In Nanqu, besides the national teacher and the emperor, the most powerful general is Xuanyuan Yi.At best, the city owner is a city manager. He is said to be the lord, but he is just a person who watches over the city. He has no power. If he wants to kill a prisoner, he has to report it.

However, the imperial court is very efficient in handling affairs, and with the presence of Phoenix, it only takes one or two hours to report urgent matters, and there will be no things that will be deducted layer by layer.

In the past, the money for disaster relief was also taken away by the minister directly renting a phoenix, and it was simply not in the hands of the subordinates, which largely avoided the situation of untimely disaster relief and embezzlement of money and food.

In short, after the city lord kowtowed to Xuanyuan Yi, he got permission to get up tremblingly. After doing such a small movement, he was already out of breath, and his strength did not match his strong body at all.

He Lianqi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and was about to eat, seeing his appearance, he asked strangely: "Is the city lord sick?"

"If you go back to Madam, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't eaten for many days." The city lord smiled at him flatteringly.

His complexion was sallow, his eye circles were black and blue, and he looked too fuzzy, which reminded He Lianqi of the scholar who was fascinated by female ghosts and elves in Liaozhai.

"Can't the city lord get enough to eat?" He Lianqi looked at him up and down, there was nothing wrong with his body, but his spirit was poor, and he was hungry.But it's understandable for a beggar to be so hungry, but you, a city lord, are still so hungry, why lose weight?

The city lord shook his head, perhaps he had used too much force, and fell headfirst. If the maid next to him hadn't been quick to support him, he might have slammed onto the ground.

After helping, the city lord also fainted, yes, fainted from hunger.

so weak?Helian Qi was so frightened that he quickly ate a mouthful of pork ribs to suppress his shock, be good, isn't it scary for a big man to be so weak.

A man in armor walked in and saluted Xuanyuan Yi and Helian Qi, "General, madam, this subordinate is the head of the city lord's bodyguard."

"Say." Xuanyuan Yi didn't talk nonsense, a city lord became like this, and anyone with eyes could tell something was wrong at a glance.

It doesn't matter what the city lord does on weekdays, but if he behaves so nonchalantly in front of him, there is nothing wrong with it.Those with little minds will not become the city lord. Now that it is like this, it can be seen that things are already very big.

The head guard was also very helpless, frowned and said: "This subordinate handed over the paperwork half a month ago, but the superior has not responded. In the past half month, this subordinate has handed over hundreds of paperwork. I only received it two days ago. The news, said to wait for the general to come to deal with it. But we have not waited for the news of the general entering the city, so we are so eager."

He Lianqi almost spit out a mouthful of rice, this must not be what the little emperor meant, so it is the national teacher?But how did the national teacher know that they would definitely come to Yu Fengcheng?What if it takes water again?

"This is a letter from Yan Ling sent by the teacher of the state." The chief guard took out an envelope from his pocket and said.

The encrypted version of the Lingling letter can only be displayed in the hands of the person who received the letter.

Xuanyuan Yi opened the envelope, but the white paper inside did not show the contents.He frowned imperceptibly, and before he opened his mouth, Helian Qi at the side leaned over and grabbed the letter, "Huh?"

The letter was instantly reduced to ashes in his hand, and after the fire was extinguished, an image appeared—it was the national teacher.

The man in the black robe and the mask bent his lips, "I know you are confused, but let me make it clear that I have never sent anyone to follow you, and I want to know the details when I get back. It's up to you, no one else can handle it."

After speaking, the image disappeared, leaving no ashes behind.

He Lianqi was confused when he heard that, "The national teacher is amazing, but what do you mean other people can't control it?"

Xuanyuan Yi paused, her eyes turned to Xuan Lan who was eating hard, and she just looked at him quietly.

Xuan Lan noticed the sight, looked up, and found that it was Xuanyuan Yi, stretched her neck to swallow the food in her mouth, and said nervously: "General."

"Where is Xuan Huang?"

After hearing this sentence, Xuan Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she was not angry. "Oh, I went out as soon as I got back. I don't know where I went."

Xuan Huang is not a random person, Xuan Yuan Yi was silent for a while, lowered his eyes to search for the person, and asked to come back after finding the location.

After a while, someone jumped in from the window, knelt on the ground and respectfully said: "General."

Xuanyuan Yi took a deep look at him, skipped what he was doing out there, and said, "Yu Fengcheng, you know us better than us, so don't wander off."

Xuan Huang paused, "Yes."

He Lianqi looked at the two of them suspiciously, always feeling that they had reached an ulterior consensus in front of her.Shaking his head, he was going to ask Lao Gong when no one was around. After all, Lao Gong had a tacit understanding with other people, but he couldn't understand anything. It was too cruel. "When did the city lord become like this?"

"It's been ten days, and it's gotten worse in the last two days. Since I got that word, I feel like a different person." The chief guard was still a little scared when he recalled it. It was the first time he saw the city lord touching the word with an obsessive look on his face. When he looked like that, he almost rushed over to take the writing for himself.

After hesitating for a while, the chief guard said: "That word... is not simple, it seems to be able to confuse people's hearts."

"Huh? How do you say it?" Helian Qirao asked interestedly, maybe there really are goblins or female ghosts, isn't there a story in Liaozhai about the fairy in the painting, it seems to be called painted skin?

The chief guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Lianqi didn't feel that he was lying, and continued: "This subordinate also happened to see the city lord holding that word, as if he was hugging a peerless beauty, and specially held it Baihualou gave that word, offering it every day and night. A few days ago, my subordinate informed the city lord about the wizard, and the city lord told me to leave me impatiently. I suspect there is something in that word."

He Lianqi listened with gusto, but still found the problem, "More than half a month ago, a guy who claimed to be a general came here to bluff, and you didn't notice?"

The chief guard smiled bitterly and said, "We really wanted to find out, but no one reported the case, and no one spoke during the inspection. Even the addition of a wizard was only discovered by a leak a few days ago. The subordinates also know that their inspections are not effective, but It’s really exhausting.”

Helian Qi nodded to express his understanding.That's right, Yu Fengcheng has a population of 8000 even if it is not big, and it is scattered and difficult to manage. It is true that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the head of the guard.
