Hua Xie looked at Wang Xizhou's back and was a little surprised, "Old Wang hasn't taken the initiative to fight with others in many years. His behavior today is a bit abnormal."
Bai Gu took out a bag of dried fruits, put a piece into his mouth and chewed, "Indeed, Brother Wang has a good temper. Today is a bit strange, and he wants to steal other people's clothes."
Hua Xie glanced at Bai Gu helplessly, "That's just an excuse, otherwise how could we start a fight?"
"Oh, that's how it is."
Bai Gu took another piece of dried fruit and handed it to Bai Xiaoxiao. The latter took a small bite of the dried fruit and smiled at Bai Gu.
Bai Gu pinched Bai Xiaoxiao's cheeks that had finally become fleshy. The latter seemed to be dissatisfied and reached out to pinch Bai Gu's thin palm, making Bai Gu smile and rub Bai Xiaoxiao's cheeks. Then he took back his hand.
Hua Xie looked at the deep brother-sister relationship between these two little guys and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Hua Xie wanted to cross his arms and pretend to be cool for a while, but no one seemed to pay attention to him now. I wanted to take out a bag of melon seeds to crack them, but found that the stock had been eaten up long ago, and I didn’t even have time to stock up. Reach out for Bai Gu's dried fruit. I'm lazy and don't feel very good about it.
No matter what he did, he couldn't find the energy. Hua Xie was really bored, so he tugged on the silver rope in his hand, which caused a burst of wailing from the thirty people lying down behind the carriage.
Wang Xizhou tilted his head, "Xizhou originally did not want to fight with the guest. If the guest is willing, Xizhou is willing to exchange these thirty people for a few of us to enter the mansion and discuss yesterday's events in detail."
Zaixi smiled lowly, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of doing business with me? Besides, if you use them as bargaining chips, your calculation is wrong."
Zaixi narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, "Since they have been detained, they are no longer members of my city lord's palace. Why should I care about their life or death?"
There was disbelief in Wang Xizhou's eyes and he frowned, "They are members of the City Lord's Mansion, and you treat them so casually. This is a waste of human life!"
"As people of the City Lord's Mansion, all food and clothing are provided by the City Lord's Mansion, so correspondingly, they also have to pay something for the City Lord's Mansion. Haven't you heard of raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while? Since they are the City Lord's Mansion. If you are a person, then your life belongs to the City Lord's Mansion. As for how to deal with it, it is also a matter between City Lord Li and me. You are an outsider, and your hands are stretched a bit too long."
Listening to Zaixi's words, the surrounding guards buried their heads deeper.
This is the original guest, this is the right taste!
But they still felt a little sad.
In the eyes of City Lord Li and Ke Qing, are their lives so worthless?
Although they knew about this a long time ago, or before entering the City Lord's Mansion, they were still willing to work for the City Lord's Mansion with a cold heart.
Without him, a salary of half a tael of silver per month and three times the red envelope at the end of the year. No one can refuse such a generous salary.
In Tinder City, where wages are generally only two cents of silver, the salary from the City Lord's Mansion is already considered to be extremely high among ordinary people.
No matter how high the salary is, those methods are all written in the city regulations. Each of them is enough to behead your head and put you in jail. If you don't want your life, you can try it.
Try and die.
Wang Xizhou lowered his eyes and said, "How does your indifference to human life differ from that of a murderer who destroys humanity and an uncivilized beast?"
Zaixi's eyes moved, "Wang Xizhou, you don't even pretend now, do you?"
"Xizhou is just telling the truth. Why, did he mention the guest's pain point?"
Zaixi no longer suppressed the anger in his heart, "Now that we've talked about it, let's draw a line. Neither of us will let it go until we go through this."
Wang Xizhou nodded, "Xizhou has exactly what he means."
Zaixi tapped the ground with his toes, and a flash of red light left the city lord's palace first and shot straight into the sky.
Wang Xizhou followed closely behind and turned into a rainbow and left.
Hua Xie frowned at this, as if he was worried.
Bai Gu touched Hua Xie with his hand, "Brother Hua, why don't we follow him and have a look?"
"Today's Lao Wang has changed."
"Explain it?"
"As you know, Lao Wang usually speaks softly and calmly, and never seems to get angry. Getting angry and losing his temper is not something he would do. But today, I feel that he is very specific about this choice. Are you happy? It’s the feeling of facing an enemy of life and death, with needles hidden inside and outside the words. If the usual Lao Wang is a cup of warm white water with a cute attitude, anyone can get close to him. Then he is now a bowl of throat-killing scrapa. The pepper water in the intestines chooses and devours people! This is definitely not a normal Lao Wang, there is definitely something fishy in it!"
Bai Gu understood immediately, "Is it because of this Xixi? He cares about human life?"
"This, even if coupled with the outrageous city regulations of Tinder City, is not enough to make Lao Wang like this. This selection of happiness is not simple. Lao Wang must have seen something, and it is not good. This stuff will make Lao Wang’s temperament change drastically.”
"This Xixi can't be a big devil, right?"
"It's hard to say." Hua Xie's brows deepened, "Didn't you hear what Lao Wang just said about the Incident in Xianlei Lake, the catastrophe in Chunxi City, and the destruction of Nanming Blessed Land? These major events are the highest among Shanshui Yanchao. The three golden feathers at the same level are still urgent. If these things are related to this Xixi, then it is not surprising that Lao Wang is like this. "
Bai Gu looked at Hua Xie, "These are..."
Before Bai Gu could finish asking, Hua Xie waved his hand and interrupted Bai Gu, "Let's not talk about this now. Let's catch up and have a look first. I will tell you this when I get back."
"Can we also watch the battle in the Pimortal Realm?"
"Can't we just stay far away? Stupid." Hua Xie grabbed a person with one hand and turned into a stream of light and flew away into the sky.
Before leaving, Hua Xie did not forget to set up a barrier, trapping the thirty people he had tied up, and could not be broken except by a single blow from the peak of the Spirit Swallowing Realm.
As Lao Wang said, you have to be careful when doing things, but you can't let these people go. They may be useful when they come back.
——————
A woman in a skirt was holding a flower basket and was kneeling on the grass. When she saw some beautiful flowers, she gently folded them and put them into the flower basket.
Break off a branch of spring and leave the fragrance in your hand.
The woman in the skirt broke off a small blue flower, put it in front of her nose and smelled it. The faint floral fragrance was refreshing and refreshing.
"You are so cheerful. Instead of doing business, you come here to pick flowers." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and a figure wearing a red robe appeared.
This person's face couldn't be seen clearly, but he could tell from his voice that he was a man.
Hearing this, the woman in the skirt ignored the man in the red robe and just put the blue flowers into the basket and continued to look for beautiful flowers on the grass.
The man in the red robe was not angry, "That man, I heard you talk about him in a crazy way before, and he looks like he has deep hatred and hatred, but why haven't you seen him take action yet? Can't you bear it anymore?"
"We agreed before not to interfere in each other's affairs, but now you have crossed the line." The voice of the woman in the skirt was like the tinkling of a clear spring, the sound of a wind chime, and it was like the spring breeze blowing on her face.
"Haha, don't I care about you? It should be a lot of inconvenience for you to be like this now, right? It will be good for you and me to deal with this matter as soon as possible. Why not?"
"I have my own plans, and I don't need you to take care of them." The woman in the skirt said coldly, "Besides, you are not the only one I can choose as an ally. You broke our agreement, and now I You can leave directly.”
"Don't be angry. I just saw you being constrained and inconvenienced, so I just said a word. It's my fault, and I apologize to you."
The woman in the skirt smiled and said, "No wonder you can succeed. With such a character who is willing to bow his head and endure humiliation, it is difficult to succeed."
"It's not a loss if you can make a beautiful woman smile."
"It's just that there are many people like you in the book. In the end, the overall situation was broken and died at the hands of the protagonist. I don't know if people like you will be like this."
"Look at what you said, what do you mean by a person like me? Am I not good?"
"Excellent and extremely bad."
"How to say?"
The woman in the skirt stretched out her hand and broke off a small yellow flower, and answered the question, "I heard that your chess game is already halfway through?"
There was a smile in the red-robed man's voice, "We just said that we should not interfere with each other's affairs. Why are we going back on our word now?"
"Just say what you say. If you don't say it, forget it."
"As the old saying goes." The man in red robe smiled lowly, "It can't be considered more than half, it can only be said to be three-sevenths. The tone has been set, and now it depends on how the chess pieces move."
"You just let it go before the game is over? Are you so confident?" The woman in the skirt frowned slightly.
The man in red robe clasped his hands behind his back and said in a confident and calm tone, "I am sure, and even if this matter fails, I will not lose anything. At most, I regret that I did not accomplish this matter and reap big fruits."
"Fortunately I am your ally, otherwise it would be a misfortune to be targeted by you."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"Um?"
"You just said an old saying was good. Which old saying was it?" The woman in the skirt looked up at the man in red robe with an unkind look.
The man in red robe laughed dryly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just an unintentional statement. It can't be taken seriously."
The woman in the skirt's eyes wandered, and finally fixed on a small red flower beside her, "The high priest of the Shenyue Kingdom usurped power, was it your order?"
The man in red robe was noncommittal, "I'm not familiar with him."
"Where is Yao Mansion?"
This time the man in red robe nodded, "This is a very important move for me, I have to plan it myself."
"Are you also involved in the Yumi Mountain incident?"
"You are just flattering me. I don't have the ability to get to know a strange person who can defeat the gods of mountains and rivers." The man in red robe quickly distanced himself from the relationship, "Although this matter will help me, it is not the same as mine." It really doesn’t matter. I don’t know everyone.”
"Oh, that's it." The woman in the skirt put the small red flowers into the flower basket, which only filled up the thin layer at the bottom of the flower basket, making it colorful.
"What, you're disappointed?"
The woman in the skirt made no secret, "This person is useful to me. I need her help with my affairs."
"I remember that the gods of mountains and rivers generally don't interfere in other people's affairs easily, right? You don't have to worry about this."
"Who told you that I was going to put this chess piece there?" The woman in the skirt squinted her eyes and smiled, but the words that came out of her plump little mouth made even the man in red feel a little cold, "I want her property." Make the best use of it, use the gods of mountains and rivers to set the stage, and the three flowers will gather at the top to facilitate my next move."
"That's a good idea. But you have to get to know that strange man first, right? Now no one in the world knows where he is, and even the Chongming Division of Fangyuan Mountain can't track him. What can you do?"
The woman in the skirt chuckled and said, "I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Then after you get to know that strange man, introduce him to me. I also want to see what a person who can defeat the gods of mountains and rivers looks like."
"Easy to say."
"Then I won't disturb your enjoyment and go ahead."
"Walk slowly without seeing you off."
After the man in red robe left, the woman in the skirt sat on her knees on the grass, her eyes looking in a certain direction, with complicated emotions surging in her eyes.
There is resentment, irritability, and...reluctance.
I will definitely not lose to you!
One day, you will regret abandoning me!
Will!
