scumbag

Chapter 24 Sea Pavilion City

Xiang Ye went halfway to the gambling house, Jin Chuqing and Qi Guo came to the agreed place, Qi Guo stood in front of the stable, Jin Chuqing, Zeng Ji, and Wen Ting, the son of the city lord, mounted their horses with bows and arrows on their backs— The so-called day trip is to go winter hunting.

Qiguo is about to cry, what is she doing here? , a servant like her can't do anything except shivering in the cold wind.Just as he was thinking, Qiguo heard Jin Chuqing ask the city lord if he had any extra horses, bows and arrows. The city lord asked him what was wrong, and Jin Chuqing said Ah Qi didn't have any.

Servant: "There are no extra horses, bows and arrows here."

Jin Chuqing stared at the city lord intently: "..."

City Lord: "Get ready."

Servant: "Yes."

Qiguo: "..." The savior.

This man was her savior.

At this moment, a woman drove over and took a closer look. It was Ziyi who had argued with Qiguo that day.

The purple clothes are still all purple today, but they are wearing strong clothes.

The city lord introduced to several people: "This is Dongli, the daughter of Duzhu Xu. If we insist on being together, don't think she is noisy."

Qi Guo's expression changed when he heard the words Duzhu Xu: she is actually the daughter of Duzhu.

"Wen Bo!" Xu Dongli sneered, and the city lord smiled, "Okay. You guys have fun and relax. Wen Ting, take care of her."

"Yes." Wen Ting.

The city lord: "Then I will go to work first."

"Wen Bo, let's go."

The capital system and urban system of Xusu Kingdom are clearly graded, the capital is bound to the city, the city is bound to the town, and the town is bound to the township.Townships have Xiang Yin, towns have Zhen Yin, and cities have Cheng Yin.Usually, if something goes wrong, you can usually find these few people. They are responsible for investigating and handling the case. After the Xiang Yin, Zhen Yin, and Cheng Yin handle it, they will summarize the cases and hand them over to the City Lord's Mansion.The files handed in are sorted out, and the people in the City Lord's Mansion are responsible for sorting them once a month before handing them in.Of course, there are many complainers among them. Those who complain have a special office for appealing grievances. The information can be retrieved from the city lord's mansion. Others cannot be found here.

From this perspective, it seems that the city lord has done nothing, but in fact his rights are not small.As the lord of a city, the lord of the city can disperse or centralize his rights. As long as it is a city, town, or village, it can be thoroughly investigated at any time.The collection of corvee taxes and urban construction in the city are all under the control of the city lord. There are many departments under the city lord, and the division of labor between the departments is clear, and each performs its duties.

In other words, a city without a city lord may not change in any way, but a city lord who commits crimes or works hard to govern will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire city.

The Xusu Kingdom has one hundred and one cities and seven capitals, the rights of the city lord are already so, let alone the capital lord who is above the city lord?

No wonder the people in the yamen were so polite to Ziyi that day, and Qiguo was in a daze: Fortunately, Baguo helped her change her appearance.

The servant led the horse to Qiguo, Xu Dongli was surprised: "Who is this person? Do you want to be together?"

Qiguo quickly lowered her head.

"He is Young Master Qing's servant." Servant.

"Waiter?" Xu Dongli frowned, "Why did you give the waiter a horse?"

Servant: "It's Young Master Qing's request."

Xu Dongli looked at Jin Chuqing for a while and said oh.He looks pleasing to the eye, so I don't care about him.

"There are rumors in the world that you shoot arrows very well." Xu Dongli rode to Zeng Ji's side, "Who do you think is stronger between you and the current archer Fang Zhi?"

"At present, he may be the strongest." Zeng Ji said.

"Maybe at the moment?" Xu Dongli said, "Do you think you will be better than him before or in the future?"

"..." Zeng Ji.

"It's really hard to live with a great reputation. Let alone Fang Zhi, you may not even win this Ah Qing."

Jin Chuqing: "..."

"Ah Qing or Fang Zhi, I can't guarantee it." Zeng Ji said, "But at least there is no problem in winning you."

"You compare with me?" Xu Dongli smiled, "You really will find an opponent for yourself, am I a shooter?"

"So you know you're an amateur." Zeng Ji.

Xu Dongli choked.

Qiguo was sweating for Zeng Ji in his heart.

Wen Ting said to Xu Dongli, "Just say a few words less."

"What did I say? I'm just asking casually. Some people are too sensitive." Xu Dongli left first.

Wen Ting sighed: "Dong Li has a sharp personality. Once you get to know her well, you will know that she talks like that. Don't take it to heart."

"I'm no better than her, as long as she doesn't mind."

Wen Ting: "..."

The winter hunting location is the private domain of the city lord, and the hunting targets are wild boars and deer inside.

At first, Qiguo tied his hands and feet for fear of being discovered by Xu Dongli, but when he really started hunting, his worries were forgotten.

Seeing Qiguo's skillful hunting skills, Zeng Ji praised her a few words, and she worked harder.

"Is he really your servant?" Several times Xu Dongli's favorite prey was shot by Qiguo first, and he was furious, "I have so many servants, I have never seen such an unruly servant, where did I buy it?" How about I help you for a few days?"

"no need."

Xu Dongli clicked his tongue, competed with Qiguo, and chased in Qiguo's direction, Wen Ting followed her.

The three young and energetic were in front, and Zeng Ji and Jin Chuqing were riding slowly and chatting behind.

"Do you not like hunting?" Zeng Ji asked Jin Chuqing.

"..."

"...Isn't that Seventh your servant?" Zeng Ji asked.

"..."

Zeng Ji smiled: "Obviously."

"...She wants to see you and asks me to bring her here."

Zeng Ji was taken aback: "Why does he want to see me?"

"admire you."

"Really?" Zeng Ji was a little embarrassed, "No wonder he kept staring at me when we met in the morning. I was also surprised, thinking that I offended you somewhere."

Being liked is always a joy.

"If you don't hunt, do you want to fish?"

Jin Chuqing: "I haven't fished before."

"I'll teach you. There's a pond in front of it. The city lord and I fished there before. It's sunny today, so it shouldn't be difficult to catch it."

Jin Chuqing nodded.

There was a boy and a fisherman in the pavilion. Zeng Jijin Chuqing gave the horse to the boy and asked the fisherman to bring out the fishing gear for the guests.

"Just put the thread like this and wait patiently. If the thread moves, fish it out."

Jin Chuqing nodded, seeing Jin Chuqing also put the thread into the water, Zeng Ji felt a little melancholy for no reason: "I always feel old."

"you are very young."

"... 33 years old is in some professions, so it's not too young."

From morning to noon, Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji didn't catch a single fish.Wen Ting, who was hunting, saw them coming down to greet them when he passed by.

"So you're here, no wonder you haven't seen anyone." Wen Ting asked, "How's the fishing going?"

Zeng Ji motioned him to look at his fish basket.

"So pitiful." Asked the fisher boy to bring him a set of fishing gear, "I'll try it too."

"Stop hunting?" Zeng Ji asked Wen Ting.

Wen Ting: "Stop beating, it's boring. That girl Dongli is not happy if she hunts more than her, and she will laugh at her if she hunts worse than her."

"She and Ah Qi are still fighting?" Zeng Ji.

"It's on the bar." Wen Ting said to Jin Chuqing, "Dong Li is very angry with him."

Zeng Ji smiled.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wen Ting asked.

Zeng Ji: "Eat it after catching it."

Wen Ting smiled: "Okay, look at me, I'm sure I'll fill you up in a while."

An hour later, the cold wind blew, and two of the three fish baskets fell down.

Wen Ting straightened the empty fish basket: "Is there no fish here at all?"

Jin Chuqing: "Yes."

"It must be the bait." Wen Ting said.

Another half an hour passed, Wen Ting put down his fishing rod and told Jin Chuqing, Zeng Ji to wait. Zeng Ji asked him what he was doing, and he said he would go back as soon as he went.

When he came back, Wen Ting was followed by eight boys, and the two boys carried a basket of fish, four baskets in total.Wen Ting returned to the fishing rod and sat down.The boy dumped the fish into the water near Wen Ting, Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji.

Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji: "..."

Ask the servants to make a fire, prepare the sauce, set up the racks for grilling fish, lay out soft blankets, and clean up the fish by the way. Wen Ting called Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji to come over.

It was almost dusk at this time, the three of them ate some snacks and finally grilled fish.

A total of seven fish were caught, Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji each caught two, Wen Ting alone caught three.

"Did Dong Li and Ah Qi come back?" Wen Ting asked the servant beside him.

The servant said he hadn't seen it.

"There will be no accidents, right?" Zeng Ji asked.

"No." Wen Ting, "Dong Li has been playing in our house since childhood, and she knows this hunting ground better than me."

"You go to the front hall to have a look again. If Dong Li and Ah Qi come back, tell them to come too. While you can bring a few more fish, Dong Li will take two each. It's not enough for her to get between her teeth," Wen Ting ordered. Servant, "I'll let you know if you don't come back."

Servant: "Yes."

"A dozen snow wolves have been newly transported here, and they are all kept in cages. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Snow wolf?" Zeng Ji, "Wolf of Xueling?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that the wolves are very fierce, and you want to keep them in the backyard?"

"It's valuable because it's rare." Wen Ting said.

"Is it true that one snow wolf can defeat ten martial artists?" Zeng Ji asked.

"I haven't tried it on purpose, but the amount of manpower it takes to catch them is similar. Snow wolves have sharp claws and teeth that can crush rocks, and they are extremely fast." Wen Ting, "We still don't know how to raise them. They are kept in special cold iron cages, and the cage alone has three floors. It happens to be not far from here, so I’ll go over and have a look after eating in a while..."

"It's not good, it's not good—" Just as he was speaking, a servant ran over to report, "Miss Xu has an accident!"

"What's going on?" Wen Ting stood up and asked.

"Miss Xu saw snow wolves while hunting. She thought it was difficult to see the three-layer cage, so she asked to open two cages. The guard disagreed. Miss Xu injured the guard. Although the guard didn't hand over the key, he probably couldn't hold on. After a long time, I will call the villain to report the news."

"This Xu Dongli really thinks his life is too long!" Wen Ting threw the grilled fish aside and ran over in a hurry, in case Xu Dongli made a mistake, he would be finished.

Zeng Ji also stood up, and he pulled Jin Chuqing: "Let's go and have a look."

Jin Chuqing had just eaten a few mouthfuls of fish after grilling for a long time and accidentally dropped it on the ground, feeling in a bad mood.

Where the three of them arrived, Snow Wolf had already jumped out.A snow wolf was attacking Xu Dongli, Qi Guo shot the snow wolf with an arrow, then jumped in front of Xu Dongli, grabbed her wrist: "Go."

Xu Dongli's legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, but another snow wolf had already pounced on him.At a critical moment, Qiguo overwhelmed Xu Dongli and protected Xu Dongli. When something happened to Xu Dongli, Jin Chuqing, the city lord, and herself were all involved.Zeng Ji's arrow came through the wind and hit the snow wolf.

Finally, there is no danger.

"Are you all right?" Wen Ting came to ask.

"Can you get up from me?" Xu Dongli's face was hot, and Qiguo got up: "What are you doing? What should you do if something happens? Do you want the whole Haige City to suffer with you?"

"When did I, Xu Dongli, get a servant to tell me what to do?" Xu Dongli said, "Did I ask you to save me?"

"you!"

"How about me? How dare you speak to me like this, just like a servant..."

"That's enough, stop arguing!" Wen Ting interrupted Xu Dongli, "There must be a limit to self-willedness, if it wasn't for him, you would have died without a place to die!"

"I'm fine!" Xu Dongli said.

"Come out and talk first, and lock the door of the iron cage." Zeng Ji said, "It's too dangerous here."

Xu Dongli snorted, the injured snow wolf's eyes glowed green, and it went straight to bite the nearest Xu Dongli's neck, Jin Chuqing moved over and grabbed the back of the impacting snow wolf's neck and threw it back to its original place.

"..." Several people were stunned.

The servant locked the iron cage layer by layer, and when he came out, Wen Ting cursed: "Do you think your life is too long or what? Why does this cage have to go up to three floors? Don't you have a brain? If you want to die, you will die." Go home and die, don't stay in our house!"

"Did something happen? What happened? What did I do? What is your attitude? How do I know why I have to go up to the third floor?" Xu Dongli asked, "Are the people in your house just decorations? Why not in such a dangerous place?" How many more people will be sent here?"

"Are you still beating me up? The guard is only in charge of watching the cage. Do you know how many people are there when the cage is opened?" Wen Ting said, "I heard that you also injured the guard?"

"I'm just scaring him." Xu Dongli said.

"Where is he now?" Wen Ting asked.

Xu Dongli looked away: "..."

"Painted out." Qi Guo said, "Over there."

Wen Ting glared at Xu Dongli, Xu Dongli whispered: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to scare him, who knows if he doesn't fight back, it will be fine after a while?"

"..."

Wen Ting sneered, and asked his servants to take the guard there for treatment.

Jin Chuqing smelled blood on Qiguo's body, and asked Qiguo if he was injured.Qiguo said it was just a little bit hurt, it's fine, just go back and bandage it.The injury was on the arm, mainly due to abrasions: "Fortunately, you arrived in time."

A total of two snow wolves ran out, one was shot by Qiguo from a long distance, and the other was shot dead by Zeng Ji on the spot.

"You are also very brave." Zeng Ji and Qi Guo scratched their heads: "It's because I don't have close combat."

If it was close combat, Qi Guo and Xu Dongli would definitely be doomed.

Zeng Ji looked at Qi Guo's wound: "I have to find a doctor quickly."

Qi Guo was a little dizzy by Zeng Ji's fascination, Xu Dongli pushed Zeng Ji aside, grabbed Qi Guo's arm to check the injury.

Finding nothing serious, Xu Dongli felt relieved: "Skin and tender flesh, like a woman, I'll call a doctor later, you go and have a look."

"No need." Qi Guo said.

"You don't need it if you say you don't need it?" Xu Dongli asked.

Drums and music blared together, singing and dancing raised peace.

The city lord toasted everyone and complimented each other. The city lord talked about political affairs with his colleagues at the banquet, while Jin Chuqing and Zeng Ji concentrated on the food in front of them.

I heard from them that the state of Zhouqu is at the end of its rope, and currently it is only supported by the female general Siyan. I believe that it will be captured by the state of Xusu soon.
