Through the otherworldly peerless

On the evening of the third day, Wushuang and the others finally arrived in Baicheng within the agreed time limit.

Looking at the earthen city wall in front of him, all the edges and corners have been smoothed by the wind and sand. They really don't look spectacular at all. At least at this moment, there are only two words in Wushuang's mind: poverty.

Wushuang couldn't help complaining to You Jiuba behind him: "Is this really Baicheng? Are you sure it's not the village of some mountain king?"

You Jiuba glanced at Wushuang, then pointed at the city gate tower helplessly.

On the two relatively thick wooden doors, there is the only bronze plaque that can be seen, with two words written on it: Baicheng.

Wushuang sighed: "Well, it seems that we went to the right place and arrived at the destination on time. Congratulations."

Then, he turned to Wu and said to them, "Let's go, let's go into the city."

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the four of them reached the gate of the city, they turned over and dismounted from their horses. Wu Hui knocked on the door himself with the documents.

The gate of the city was opened, and after the soldiers guarding the city took Wu Hui's document and looked at it, one of them, who seemed to be their general, walked over, leading a dozen people, and knelt down in front of Wu Shuang.

"Greetings to Marquis Wuyi, my subordinates didn't know you arrived today and were unable to welcome you far away. Please make amends!"

Wushuang is still not used to being kneeled by people, and kneeling so much, he quickly waved his hands and smiled dryly: "It's okay, it's okay, those who don't know are innocent, you all, get up, get up and talk."

"Yes, my lord!"

A group of people stood up, and the general who defended the city stepped forward and said to Wushuang: "I heard that there are hundreds of soldiers escorting your lord, why..."

Wushuang smiled: "It's a long story, I'll talk about it later, I'm a little hungry."

"Oh, that's right," the general defending the city suddenly said, "This subordinate will send you to the mansion right away."

Wushuang nodded: "Thank you."

The city guard general called a few people and took Wushuang to the city lord's mansion. He didn't notice it before, but now he saw Wu Shuang riding a horse with long horns. The city guard general couldn't figure out Wu Shuang's temperament. Dare to ask more, peeking at Meili all the way, those eyes are very novel.

Wushuang also found it strange that after entering the city, it was difficult for You Jiuba to ride with him. He looked at the surrounding houses and had to bend down to talk to You Jiuba.

"This place deserves to be called Baicheng. This should be the main street of Baicheng. Look at the dilapidated houses. If it rains a little harder one day, they can be directly drenched."

In fact, it’s not surprising that Wushuang said this, because most of the houses here are made of mud walls. Although there are houses with mud walls in Wangcheng, they are all built on the edge of Wangcheng. They are the poorest people in Wangcheng who live with a little money. Many people choose to use wood to build their houses.

In Baicheng, even the main street is full of houses with mud walls. The mud walls and roofs mixed with grass roots look like dirt bags.

And there were no people to be seen on the street at all, it was empty like a dead city.

Wushuang really couldn't hold back, and asked the general defending the city: "By the way, this general..."

"Your Excellency, you are welcome to call me Lei Jia."

Wushuang coughed lightly, then turned around and whispered to Yi: "So you have a big brother who lives outside?"

B: "??? Sir, B is the eldest son in the family."

"Oh," Wushuang turned back and continued to talk to Lei Jia, "Lei Jia, why do I feel that there is not even a single pedestrian on this street? Where have all the residents in this city gone?"

Lei Jia paused and said, "They should all go to work in the fields."

"Really?" Wushuang looked at the sky, "But it's already evening, don't they need to go home for dinner?"

"Food is not important," Lei Jia said, "Farming is more important after all."

Wushuang laughed: "Isn't the purpose of farming just to feed yourself? Why do you say that food is not important? If food is not important, what is the purpose of that kind of farming?"

"Uh..." Lei Jia obviously didn't expect Wushuang to say such a thing, after all, Wushuang's reputation as an idiot prince has already spread throughout the Xia Dynasty.

For a while, Lei Jia didn't know how to answer, but fortunately the city lord's mansion had arrived, Lei Jia quickly pointed to the location of the city gate, and introduced to Wu Shuang: "My lord, the mansion has arrived, the person standing in front of everyone, It is the city lord of Baicheng, Lord Xiangkang."

Wushuang looked in the direction of Lei Jia's finger, Xiangkang, the city lord of Baicheng, seemed to be over half a century old, with a round head and a characteristic mustache on his mouth.

But Xiangkang is not Wushuang's focus, the focus is on the city lord's mansion behind him. Wushuang originally thought that after seeing the earthen city walls and earthen houses, the mansion of the city lord who wants to come to this place must not be very good, at most it is a house built of wood.

But the facts are true, the mansion of the city lord in Baicheng is not at all inferior to that of Qiucheng. The courtyard walls and steps are made of stone, which looks a hundred times stronger than that city wall. Inside the city wall, there are two-story stone buildings with gray walls and tiles. The doors and windows are quite beautiful.

Wushuang stared dumbfounded until everyone had come to Xiangkang. Xiangkang raised his head and called several times: "Master Hou? Your Excellency? Lord Wuyihou?"

"What?" Wu Shuang came back to her senses, looked down at Xiang Kang smiling at him with a humble face, and hurriedly got off the horse, "Master Xiang, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, what are you talking about."

Xiangkang waved his hand to show that he didn't mind at all: "Master Hou is too polite, Xiaguan just said that Xiaguan has been waiting for you for many days, just now I was thinking, if you haven't arrived yet, how will Xiaguan follow you?" Your Majesty, explain!"

Wushuang raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiangkang's honest and honest face, and hummed softly in his heart: What's the matter?He has just arrived, and he has just started to give him power, and he actually uses His Majesty to suppress him?

You can't let people suppress you for the first time, otherwise you may not know how to bully yourself in the future, but you can't go too far, too much is easy to break.

After thinking for a while, Wushuang said with a straight face: "What did Lord Xiangkang say? His Majesty asked me to reach Baicheng within three months, and I will climb there even if I climb, or is it that Lord Xiangkang doesn't believe in my ability?"

Xiangkang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Excellency misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean that. By the way, it's getting late. I have already asked the servants to prepare food and wine for Your Excellency. Your Excellency, why don't we eat first?" ?”

Wushuang: "I want to take a bath first."

After all, he hasn't showered for several days, Wushuang is worried that if he continues like this, lice will grow on his body, and he will definitely go crazy!

Xiangkang took a look at Wushuang, thinking that he was indeed a spoiled and well-clothed prince, who is very particular about poverty no matter when and where, so he said: "Yes, then I will go and arrange for the adults."

Wushuang: "Wait a minute."

Xiangkang: "Sir, what else can you order?"

Wushuang pointed to B: "They also want to wash."

Xiangkang glanced at B: "Yes, I understand."

Meili let out a hiss in displeasure as someone held the reins.

Xiangkang also noticed the beauty, and his eyes sparkled all of a sudden: "My lord's horse...is so majestic, this is the first time I have seen a horse with horns on its head!"

Wushuang: "It is really different. It is my horse. You must take good care of it. It must eat clean grass and drink clean water. You must not let it get sick. Besides, everyone but me Don't ride it, understand?"

Xiangkang: "Yes, my lord, then this horse..."

Meili refused to follow the servant who led him.

Wushuang leaned close to Meili's ear and whispered: "You are obedient, and I will visit you as soon as I have time, but if anyone dares to bully you, you can resist at will, understand?"

Meili neighed, and finally followed Manu reluctantly, and turned around every step of the way, looking at Wushuang again and again, which made Wushuang almost soften her heart.

Wushuang followed Xiangkang into the city lord's mansion, and the servants took Wushuang to take a bath. When Wushuang saw the servants brought a big wooden bucket filled with hot water, Wushuang was so excited that she almost burst into tears. You can take a hot bath!

God knows, since coming to this world, taking a hot bath is such a luxury for Wushuang. Thinking of the bathhouse once a week in winter in her previous life, Wushuang always went with willingness or unwillingness, but at this moment , Looking at the hot bath water, Wushuang swore: from now on, he must cherish every time he takes a hot bath, as long as he can, he will wash it every day, and he is willing to wash his bald skin!

"My lord, let the servant take care of you and take off your clothes."

A handsome maid walked up behind Wushuang and reached out to undress him. Apparently, the bath water was so attractive that Wushuang didn't even notice it. So when the maid stretched out her hands, Wushuang was taken aback.

"No need!" Wushuang hurriedly took a step back, looked at the terrified maid and coughed lightly, "I'm not used to being served by strangers, you go and call... Jiubai, he came with me, he's the prettiest the one."

The maid panicked, "My lord, your servants and entourage have all been taken to wash up."

Wushuang suddenly realized, yes, he asked Xiangkang to arrange it, tsk, in fact, he can wash it with Jiuba, which can save some water, how good?

"Then, I'll just wash it myself, you go out first."

The maid didn't dare to say much, she knelt down and kowtowed to Wushuang, and withdrew.

As soon as the person went out, Wushuang hurriedly undressed herself. After thinking about it, she was still worried, and shouted at the door: "No one of you is allowed to come in without my order!"

Servants: "Yes, my lord."

Only then did Wushuang take off the last underwear with peace of mind, cheered, and turned over into the bathtub. The feeling of hot water flowing over her shoulders was so wonderful, Wushuang hummed comfortably, and then buried her head in the water again .

Bubbles formed on the surface of the water, and after a while, Wushuang emerged from the water. It was really a picture—a picture of a water ghost coming out of the bath!

I saw strands of wet hair all over Wushuang's face, some covered her eyes, some even got into her mouth, Wushuang spat out her hair with a "Bah bah" and stretched out her hand to pull it.

"It's already grown so long, I didn't realize it, huh! Man, what are you doing with such long hair? I'll cut you all off later!"

Wushuang leaned comfortably on the bathtub, daydreaming with her head bowed: "But... if it's Jiuba, the long hair must be very beautiful! Speaking of which, it seems that he hasn't grown his hair in the past half a month. It has always been so long, are the people of the ghost clan so magical? No, go back and ask, if Jiubai can grow, let him stop cutting it, and bring it to Jiubai with long hair reaching his waist... Hehehe, my lord, I will Three matchmakers and six hires, marry him!"

"Okay."

Suddenly someone answered in the room, Wushuang was startled, Ji Ling opened his eyes, and saw the person he said he was going to marry just now, standing in front of him at this moment, looking at him with a light smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of Melting tenderness.
