Du Anchen's expression was still serious, as if the distance he had narrowed with Song Yu before had suddenly become extremely far away: "The city lord is willing to see you now, will you go?"
"Go!" Song Yu replied immediately. Although this cheap daddy is just an NPC, he is also an important NPC. For the integrity of the plot that Song Yu has always cared about, seeing it is definitely much better than not seeing it.
"It can only be you." Du Anchen said again.
Song Yu was a little hesitant this time. However, Xie Nanshi nodded, not only to indicate that he didn't mind, but also to express that Du Anchen could be trusted, and Song Yu followed Du Anchen out of the wing.
It's just that leaving Chen Guogong's mansion is a bit unconventional. Du Anchen carried Song Yu's clothes and jumped out of the courtyard wall from the blind spot guarded by Chen Guogong's mansion after a few ups and downs, and then took him to the palace.
His life was in someone else's hands, and Song Yu didn't dare to complain about Du Anchen's unconventional style.
Although it occupies the word "palace", the city lord's residence is actually not very large, and it doesn't even look as grand as Chen Guogong's mansion from the outside. A rough estimate shows that it occupies a large area, but it can only be said to be on par with the Yongxi Prefecture Security Department. The interior is very simple from the house to the scenery, but it has some elegance that ordinary people don't have.
The palace was heavily guarded, but no one came to stop the questioning along the way. Song Yu was not stupid. After passing through the two palace gates, he realized that these people were not so much doing it for their own sake, but rather because they saw Du Anchen. It's a bit funny. He is obviously the young city lord here, but now he seems to be a little bit fake and powerful.
I knew Du Anchen was not simple, but I didn't know she was so different.
"Du Anchen, don't you think you should explain something to me?" Song Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Sun Fengyuan, the young lord of Baizhao City. He studied under the old man Nanshan, but he has average qualifications and no hard training. He travels around the world relying on his background and various rare magic weapons." Du Anchen paused and then said, "There is a lot of content, one by one. I’m so tired of talking to you. I’ll write to you tonight.”
"No, it's not this." Song Yu hissed, feeling that Du Anchen did it on purpose, "What is your identity?"
In the last episode, Du Anchen met Song Yu on the way to Yongxi Prefecture. Together, they cracked an underground palace next to Yuanao Mountain, where Song Yu obtained the mental method without sect restrictions and laid a solid foundation for him to join the sect. By the end of the plot in Yongxi Prefecture, after Song Yu worshiped the sect, he had little contact with Du Anchen. But I seem to have seen it a few times in later plots.
Now it seems that Du Anchen has a close relationship with Tianyong City, and maybe he has been following him.
"You can ask the city lord about this." Since we met today, Du Anchen's face has been smelly and he looks like he is not willing to talk. She led Song Yu to a door and knocked on the door knocker respectfully, two short and two long.
Soon, the door opened from the inside. But I didn't see any servant opening the door. When he crossed the threshold, Song Yu felt a familiar blockage again. There are obviously formations arranged in this room.
After passing through the blockage, Song Yu could clearly feel a strange bitter smell in the room. There seems to be no wind here, but it doesn't make the room feel stuffy. It's just that it's still broad daylight outside, but the house is very dark.
Du Anchen led Song Yu to the inner room. Through the curtain, Song Yu saw a man sitting on the bed inside. This feels very strange, because this person is also very thin, and in a sickly way, as if the flesh has been dissolved and only a few bones are left, which cannot even support the thin clothes on his body. But the man is very good-looking, with a face carved out like a knife and an axe. If you look closely, there are some similarities between his eyebrows and Song Yu's.
But... he doesn't look very old, maybe in his thirties, and he doesn't seem to be old enough to be his father.
"You brat, you dare to come back?!" The man was full of breath when he spoke, but after he finished speaking, he coughed violently, shaking the whole bed.
After these words came out, Song Yu finally confirmed the identity of the other party, and hurriedly pounced on him, "vividly" pretending to be a filial son: "Dad! My poor dad! What's wrong with you!"
Song Chengwei, the lord of Yongcheng City, was still coughing today, but now his breath was even more choked, and he couldn't stop coughing while covering his heart.
Du Anchen couldn't stand watching any longer. He stretched out his hand to block Song Yu who was like a stray dog, turned his head and said with concern: "Your Majesty."
"You brat, are you going to piss me off to death!" Song Chengwei's face turned green after he coughed, "You're going to be messing around when you come back! I thought you had accomplished some things after being away for a few months, and your temper should have calmed down a bit. Cough, cough …”
Song Chengwei was paying attention to every move he made outside... Song Yu knew without even thinking that Du Anchen was leaking information. But although Song Chengwei scolded him every word, his words were not so majestic. So Song Yu decisively continued his conversation style: "Father, my son ran back after receiving the news that you were seriously ill."
Song Chengwei's brows furrowed even more. He seemed to want to soothe the depression in his heart. After a moment, he put his hand down from his chest and leaned back on the bed with Du Anchen's help: "You, you are really not steady enough. You said you were coming back to see me, but as soon as you entered the city You have a conflict with the Young City Master of Bai Zhao City. Break off the engagement? Humph, what a break off the engagement. Is this something you can do just by saying you can?"
Damn it, Song Yu didn't know that he could experience an arranged marriage in a modern game with an ancient background. His scalp was about to explode: "Dad, that Su Zhixin acted wantonly just because she was engaged to me. I don't like her but she still has to do it. Marry her? What kind of logic is this! If that’s why you called me here, then I’d better leave now!”
Unexpectedly, when Song Chengwei heard this, his chest suddenly rose and fell again, and he was panting like a bellows: "Okay! Then let's go! An Chen, get this traitor out of here!"
"Yes." Du Anchen carried out Song Chengwei's order very faithfully, and the giant sword was already revealed.
Song Yu was extremely depressed. Apart from knowing that his relationship with his cheap daddy might not be as bad as the article said, there was no development at all on this matter.
Calling someone here specifically for an arranged marriage...is this what the lord of a city should do? There is a hole in the brain. Song Yu is ready to continue writing a short essay to denounce the plan before going to bed tonight.
But with the giant sword in front, Song Yu couldn't be here. He had already figured it out, even if he was going to die, he would die next to the crack outside Tianyong's capital. Die here? Too dangerous, too unworthy. So Song Yu hurriedly said to Song Chengwei one last time full of affection and affection, "Dad, I care about your health." "Dad, if you are angry, I will leave first and come to see you another day." Then he hurriedly looked at Du Anchen's sword wind. Before he slapped himself to death, he rushed out of the room.
Du Anchen looked back at Song Chengwei. Song Chengwei seemed to be more tired, and his face turned gray. As soon as Song Yu left, his shrewdness besides his majesty seemed to disappear, making him look much duller. He closed his eyes: "Now that I have seen him, there is nothing else to do. Protect him from Tianyong, and I will protect him all the way from now on."
Du Anchen looked a little hesitant: "City Lord, at this time, my subordinates..."
Song Chengwei glanced at Du Anchen lightly, but Du Anchen didn't say anything after all. She helped Song Chengwei lie down and then left the palace, with a somewhat depressed look on her face.
Song Yu had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Du Anchen coming out, he couldn't help but go up to him and ask, "Are you from my father?"
Du Anchen looked like you were asking nonsense: "I am the city lord's personal guard."
As expected, Song Yu guessed it. But the word "personal"... Song Yu touched his chin and asked tentatively: "Then you... like my father? Maybe I should call you - stepmother?"
Although he didn't know Song Chengwei very well, he was able to let Du Anchen bring his son to see him, which shows that Song Chengwei is extremely trusting and close to Du Anchen. As for Du Anchen, although she is young, she has the style of a royal sister. Not to mention, she seems to be a good match when she is with her father.
Du Anchen looked at Song Yu coldly for a long time before saying one word at a time: "I really don't know how the city lord could have such a messed-up son like you."
"So, you have been secretly following me since Qinghe Town... No, I should say, since I left Tianyong?" Song Yu asked quietly.
Du Anchen neither admitted nor denied. But thinking about it, she is no longer a personal bodyguard, so it should still be under Song Chengwei's instruction.
"The relationship between my father and I is not that bad." Song Yu became more and more sure, "Then why did he drive me away and burn down my house?"
Du Anchen still didn't answer: "Since you came back to see the city lord, now that you have seen him, it's time to leave. There is no place for you to come back here."
Song Yu couldn't help but protest: "You're driving me away just after I came back? Isn't this my lovely hometown anymore?"
"Then you leave tomorrow. I'll take you out of the palace first." Du Anchen said, and then signaled to Song Yu that if he didn't do what she said, she would draw her sword.
Du Dudu, who once pointed out where to hit, was now disobedient. Song Yu was very sad: "Then you pay back the money."
Du Anchen's footsteps paused, and his tone of voice unconsciously became a little higher, as if he was arguing with Song Yu before: "When did I owe you money?"
"My father is your employer, and he has asked you to protect me. There is no need for me to hire you. Don't you think you should pay back the money?" Although Song Yu directly burned several digits in learning skills, he has not yet So short of money. He just wanted to see Du Anchen perform his martial arts without being so far away from him.
After Du Anchen regained some of his previous feelings, Song Yu felt more at ease.
So Song Yu continued to add fuel to the fire happily: "I know that you are most loyal to the city lord. You are greedy for money and drink. They must be all disguises to paralyze me. You must also feel the same way in your heart for what you have done. It's very painful. But it doesn't matter. Give me back the money and you will be free. What you will face is the most authentic version of yourself..."
