Wilster

When the huge carriage rushed into the city gate, it did not give way at all. The moment the guards guarded the city saw the sign on the carriage, their actions changed from drawing their swords to saluting.This is Los Angeles, Vic's territory.

The carriage sped along the avenue and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

Yao yawned and looked lazily at the familiar scenery outside the window: "Looking around, Los Angeles is really the most beautiful city. I don't feel comfortable at home anywhere."

Gong Shuo and Xie Zi, who were almost silent along the way, looked at him silently. Is this man a mouthful or a weak one?Just you know how home is?Wouldn't it be too deceitful for you to bring us here by force and then say such things?Gong Shuo didn't express anything else, Scorpion snorted coldly, and shook the sword at his waist.

Looking at the City Lord's Mansion from a distance, there are already dozens of people waiting at the main entrance.The leader was a woman in purple.The graceful figure is looming under the purple veil, and it looks graceful from a distance. Under the veil that does not hide it at all, there is a very decent smiling face.Seeing the approaching carriage, the woman bowed slightly to salute, her voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears: "Congratulations, Master Vic."

The war horse snorted and stopped right in front of the crowd.The door of the carriage was pushed open, and the first to jump out were An Jing and Legia. The two stood on both sides and bowed their heads. Vic walked down with a slightly reserved Miri with a blank expression on his face.

The eyes of the woman in purple did not change, but there was a murmur in her heart.After that, Huanbai Zhufeng and Gongshuo Xiezi and others who came down after that, she could understand that this was the harvest of Vic's trip, but she didn't understand the meaning of this young boy standing with Vic.

In the end, Yao got off the carriage lazily, looked at the woman in purple and said with a smile: "Sister Xinhu, why do you have to make such a big show?"

Xinhu smiled slightly: "Isn't this just to give the deputy leader your face."

Anyone could hear the playful tone in Xinhu's mouth, but Yao didn't care, just smiled.Anyway, he originally claimed the title of deputy leader, so now he can't blame others for making fun of him.

Vic said as he walked in, "Let's all step back, Xinhu, follow me to report the latest information in the past few days." Xinhu nodded and said yes. Miri followed him.

After the two-day journey, Miri was not too noisy, but in front of Vic, a serious person, the result of not being noisy was that the two of them didn't say a few words.Although the two things that should be done were done when they met for the first time, and now Vic has brought him back, for a while Vic really didn't understand how to place him.

After thinking for a while, Vic called to Yao who hadn't gone far and said, "Xiao Yao, take Mi Rui down and arrange a room to rest."

Yao, who didn't know what he was planning to do, looked reluctant: "Why are you so troublesome? Can't he sleep with you?"

Vic stared at him without saying a word, Yao finally compromised under invisible pressure, and took Mi Rui down with a bitter face.Mi Rui looked at him almost step by step, and Vik couldn't help but feel a little wanting to laugh, as if he had a small pet, and said softly: "I'm usually in the study, and if you want to see me, let the servant take it You come to me."

Mi Rui didn't seem to expect that Vic would say such a thing, and nodded silently with the corners of his lips curled up, and then followed Yao away in peace.The submissive look was indeed not as good-looking as the smiling one, and Vic turned around and left, but Miri's smile lingered in his heart for a long time.

The study was exactly the same as it was before he left, obviously everyone obeyed his instructions and did not enter without authorization.Vic sat down, picked up the list he had read countless times, and said while pondering, "Has Wilster done anything lately?"

Xinhu said: "The Sky Fox Army hasn't returned yet, judging from the information brought by the Sky Fox Army that has already returned, North seems to have left the Imperial City, but has been on the way, and I don't know where the destination is."

Vic snorted disdainfully after hearing his brother's name: "Other than him?"

Xinhu continued: "There is no other useful information."

Only then did Vic put down the list in his hand, and leaned back on the chair without saying a word.There was no light in the room, and in the dim shadows, Vic's silhouette looked even colder.

After a long time, Vic said coldly: "At this juncture, North left the imperial capital. Apart from looking for allies, I can't think of any other purpose for him."

Xinhu paused for a moment, looking hesitant to speak.Vic didn't talk nonsense, just a simple word: "Say."

Only then did Xinhu dare to say: "Young master, did you ever think that the letter sent by Wilster might be a smoke bomb?" Vic did not answer, and Xinhu continued: "We are secretly inquiring about Wilster, But Wilster is obviously watching us more or less, and our actions are unlikely to completely avoid Wilster's eyes and ears. The letter said that the succession ceremony will be held in half a year, no matter how you look at it, it seems to remind us to do As if you were ready, do you think... this is a piece of false information, a trick by Wilster against us?"

Vic thought of his father, that wily and calculating guy, and Vic said: "It's not like creating a piece of false information just for me, but... maybe the time may change, not necessarily half a year later. Keep an eye on it for me." North, see where he's going."

Xinhu nodded and said: "Yes. Young master, do you want to find a chance to kill him?"

Vik thought for a while, then shook his head: "Not for now, let's find out where he is going first. During my trip, Xuanya gave me a promise, and successfully brought together the Fang Fang family. Although the Black Wing family is stubborn, it is good or bad. It was a worthwhile trip to snatch a sword. Next..." Vic shook the list in his hand, "There are not many valuable families that we can take down, and we need to hurry up."

Xinhu nodded in agreement, the two didn't say anything more, and Vic waved her back.

Vic was alone in the dark, his eyes closed, deep in thought.It is more accurate to say that it is contemplation, but it is actually more accurate to be in a daze.He didn't think about the next plan, nor did he look at the list again, he just closed his eyes to pass the time.There are very few such leisurely moments in memory, and Vic is as motionless as an old monk in meditation, and he doesn't know how long he sat in the dark.

Vic was brought back to his senses by the knock on the door. The knock on the door was very weak, as if he was afraid of disturbing him, but with a bit of stubbornness, it continued cowardly.

After lighting the oil lamp on the table, Vic said, "Come in."

Miri cautiously pushed the door open and walked up to Vik lightly: "Master Vik, it's time for dinner. You have been sitting for a long time, do you need to eat?"

Vik smiled lightly: "These people are so lazy, they actually asked you to call me. Come." Vik slightly opened his arms, and Miri smiled knowingly, walked slowly to Vik's side, and sat down gently. into his arms.

Vic's body was as cold as he felt, but Miri had seen the heat of this body before. He gently took Vic's hand and asked again: "Do you need to eat?"

Mi Rui changed into new clothes. The light blue robe not only matched him well, but also made his slender figure more slender, and his thin waist could be easily grasped.Vic found that Miri was quite tall, not much lower than him. Maybe he was too humble and always submissive, so he didn't look so tall.

"Master?" Seeing that Vic neither intended to eat nor eat him, but just sat there in a daze, Miri couldn't help shouting.

Vic kissed him on the cheek lightly: "I haven't asked you these days, what did you do with Xuanya before? What family members do you have in Xincheng?"

Mi Rui lowered his head and said, "Master Hui, I was a servant in Master Xuanya's City Lord's Mansion before. You may not have the impression that I have met you a few times before."

Vik was not surprised by this, and it was not uncommon for him to go to Xuanya's place by himself. As for a servant, it was normal for him to have no impression.And why did they get together this time?It's all because Xuanya forced him to drink a lot of wine. When Mi Rui was serving him, he couldn't help but stare at his waist for a few more times. Xuanya forced Mi Rui to go to bed and serve him like an old bustard. .At that time, Vic could see that this was an inexperienced child, otherwise he would not have suddenly taken him away with kindness.

Mi Rui went on to say: "I have no relatives in Xincheng. Thanks to Master Xuanya taking me in, I can have a living. But now, I am yours."

Vic nodded, then fell silent again.

After a while like this, Mi Rui couldn't bear to ask him for the third time if he wanted to eat, and then Vik asked leisurely, "Mi Rui, do you want to go around Los Angeles?"

The humility in his bones made the sentence "it's all on the young master's will" almost blurted out. Fortunately, Mi Rui thought about it and felt that what he said might not be satisfactory, so he asked tentatively: "Okay, but it won't delay your time." Is it business?"

How could Vic know Miri's petty thoughts, he just felt that Miri's answer was better than flattering him, so he got up and pulled Miri out: "I have nothing to do."

Los Angeles is actually warmer than Xincheng. Although the sky is gloomy and about to darken, Miri doesn't feel cold when he walks beside Vic.

At Vik's age, he shouldn't have his own territory, but after he killed his eldest brother, there was no place for him in the family. His father had no choice but to let him live with other elders at a young age The young master of the family also has his own territory.But this is not a reward, but it means that he is no longer qualified to be close to the power center of the family, and considering the poverty of Los Angeles, it is really hard to convince the public that this is a reward.

Walking on the streets of Los Angeles, Mi Rui could easily see the difference between here and Xincheng. The passers-by were not well-dressed, most of the shops on the street were closed early, and the only ones that were open were selling food. Or grocery stores, like the row upon row of big stores in Xincheng, I don’t know how much more prosperous than here, not to mention those high-end stores that sell supernatural items, there is no need to think about it here.

Vic walked very slowly, but he didn't tell Miri any introduction about Los Angeles, he just let him see it with his own eyes.The street outside the City Lord's Mansion is obviously the busiest, but it can't even compare to any street in Xincheng.

The street soon came to an end.At the end is a temple, which is a little more lively here.

Vik's footsteps stopped outside the temple, and Miri naturally followed him and stood where he was.

Vic stroked a dying tree beside him with his fingers: "Miri, what do you think about walking down these few steps?"

Miri opened her eyes wide and looked at Vic without speaking.Vic smiled: "Don't dare to say? It's okay, just say it."

Mi Rui smiled embarrassedly: "Then let me tell the truth, this place...is really down and out."

"Yeah, down and out..." Vic laughed, not knowing what he was talking about.

Mi Rui thought for a while and said, "Master Vic, this place really doesn't fit your status, haven't you thought of a way to manage it?"

Vic asked him back: "You know, what's the best way to make this place prosperous?"

Miri shook her head honestly.

"No one is born to be inferior to others." Vik's eyes unconsciously carried a bit of arrogance, "Including the people here. The method I said is very simple. One person can achieve the Tao, and the dog can ascend to heaven. "

Miri understood what Vic meant, and said nothing, just smiled and held Vic's hand.Vic raised his brows slightly. He hadn't noticed in the room just now that Miri looked so weak, but his palms were so warm.

Vicko dragged Mi Rui into the temple: "Now that you're here, let's go in and have a look. It is said that the gods enshrined here are very effective, although I have never been here before."

After all, people from a prosperous place, Mi Rui still likes to be lively, as soon as he entered, he happily bought incense to worship.Naturally, Vic would not participate, but he didn't pour cold water on him. He just avoided the crowd and stood in the corner to watch him in order not to cause a commotion.

People burn incense here in an orderly manner.If Vic had seen this scene before, he might have dismissed it. Instead of begging the gods of nothingness, he might as well rely on himself.But today when he looked at Miri in the crowd, he seemed to be thinking hard, as if he was worrying about making a wish for a while, and Vic couldn't help laughing.

Standing in front of Mi Rui was a little boy and his mother. The woman took the little boy's hand and slowly but firmly pushed the smoky incense into the furnace.The old and the young all knelt on the futon and kowtowed devoutly. The little boy murmured: "God bless my father's illness to recover soon..." After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth bewilderedly, with a face like crying. He looked at the woman and said, "What should I do mother? I said it, but it won't work..."

The woman smiled, but before she said anything, Mi Rui behind her took out a piece of candy from somewhere and handed it to the little boy.The little boy looked at Mi Rui with wide eyes, and Mi Rui smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as it's a good wish, more gods will help you if you say it. Your father will definitely get better."

The little boy took the candy shyly, blushed and said in a low voice, "Thank you pretty brother..." The woman gave Mi Rui a grateful look, took the little boy's hand and left.

Vic kept his eyes on the mother and son.

"Mom, I can't walk anymore, why don't you carry me on your back."

The little boy smiled and ate sweets while acting like a spoiled child, the woman laughed and scolded him: "Damn boy, I want to exhaust your old lady to death! This is the last time!"

The little boy skillfully climbed onto his mother's back and said with a smile, "Mom, when I grow up, let me carry you."

There was an unstoppable smile between the woman's eyebrows and eyes, but her mouth was relentless: "I'm afraid that you will only care about carrying your daughter-in-law. You have a sweet mouth, and Mom will cook fish for you tonight."

The little boy swallowed his saliva after hearing this, but said: "No need, let's eat together after Dad recovers."

"...Damn boy, it's so sweet after eating candy..." The woman sighed with a smile, and walked out of the temple gate with the little boy on her back, disappearing into Vic's eyes.

Vic stared at the empty temple door motionlessly, until Miri came over and tugged on his sleeve before he came back to his senses, only to find that his nails had been deeply sunken in his palm.

Vic smiled indistinctly: "It's over? What wish did you make?"

Mi Rui smiled shyly: "It won't work if you say it..."

"Didn't you say that more gods will help you if you express your good wishes?" Vic smiled and grabbed Mi Rui's shoulder, and Mi Rui's face turned even redder.

Just as Mi Rui was about to tell Vic, he saw a flash of black light. An Jing appeared in front of Vic. After saluting slightly, he said with a stern expression, "Young Master, the latest information from the Sky Fox Army, North brought people to Auspicious City."

"Auspicious City?" Vic thought for a moment, thinking of his uncle who seldom intervened in family affairs, North really went to find allies!Maybe it was the scene of the mother and child just now that ignited Vic's unknown anger. Contrary to his previous thoughts, he said coldly: "An Jing, you and Legia will go with me to the Kamel family tomorrow, let the little one Yao and Huanbai Zhufeng went to Xiangrui City together, looking for an opportunity to kill North."

"Yes." An Jing bowed slightly, and then disappeared in place.

On the way back, Vik was thoughtful all the time, Mi Rui didn't dare to continue the topic just now, and followed Vik obediently, all the way back to the City Lord's Mansion.

At the end of the day, Vic, who had just returned, led the people on the road again.The soldiers divided into two groups, Yao, Huanbai and Zhufeng went westward to Xiangrui City, while Vic took Anjing and Legia southward to Weicheng to conquer the Kamael family, and Mi Rui was with him.Originally, Mi Rui, who didn't know any abilities, shouldn't go, but Vic thought there would be no accidents, and with Mi Rui's request, he took him with him.
