It was already afternoon when Chang Sheng returned to the city lord's mansion
"Lord City Lord"
As soon as Chang Sheng came back, he found that there were many more servants in the mansion.
"Xi'er."
At this time, Zhou Xier was standing in the yard commanding the servants with dignity. When she saw Chang Sheng coming back, she ran over excitedly.
"Sister, look quickly."
"What's going on with these people?"
Chang Sheng asked.
"Sister, you forgot that you are the lord of the city. All the servants and guards sent by the palace have arrived today."
An old man who looked like a housekeeper walked up to Chang Sheng, lowered his head and said
"Lord City Lord, my name is Lin Tong. From today on, I will be the housekeeper of the house."
Chang Sheng nodded slightly and said
"We have Butler Laurin."
At this time, many guests were welcomed outside the city lord's palace.
"The Minister of Etiquette congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government and sends him a pair of Ruyi jade!"
"The Minister of the Ministry of War congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government and gives him three Beihai Night Pearls!"
"General Kuang Zhang congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government and gives him a piece of black iron soft armor!"
"Master Liu of Qingya Pavilion congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government, and presents a painting of Saint Wu's painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix!"
"Master Yan of Qingya Pavilion congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government and sends you a cruise ship!"
"The Chief of the Imperial Household King congratulates the Lord of Honghua City on the founding of the government and gives him a viewing garden by Changming Lake!"
…
Within an hour, all the officials, big and small, seemed to have reached an agreement and almost crossed the threshold of the city lord's palace.
Looking at the sudden influx of officials and the dazzling gifts, cold sweat broke out on Chang Sheng's forehead.
"Lord City Lord, congratulations!"
An old official in red robe walked up to her with a smile and congratulated her.
Chang Sheng smiled slightly
"Thank you, sir."
Then several more people rushed over at once. Before these people could leave, another group of people swarmed up from the outside until the dazed Chang Sheng was trapped inside.
It took Chang Sheng more than half an hour to deal with these people. She wiped her sweat and was already exhausted.
"Xi'er, take good care of these adults."
Zhou Xier is also in a hurry
"Why!"
Wang Huan looked at Chang Sheng, who was already in a state of distress, with a smile from a distance, and stepped forward.
"Lord City Lord, you are not used to this."
Chang Sheng looked up and saw that it was Wang Huan, and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Wang, please stop making fun of me."
Wang Huan patted her shoulder
"Just get used to it."
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Huan's expression changed, because another person came over, rigorous.
Yan Jing looked at Wang Huan with the same unfriendly expression, but then withdrew his hostility and walked to Chang Sheng with a smile.
"Lord City Lord, congratulations."
Wang Huan looked at Yan Jing's ass with deep meaning and said lightly
"Master Yan, does your butt still hurt?"
Hearing Yan Jin's words, his face twitched slightly, but the suppressed anger could no longer be suppressed. Thinking of the meal in the morning, it was hard to swallow.
"Manager Wang, you see that you are already old and confused. You cannot do anything the saints tell you. Otherwise, you should retire and return to your hometown to take care of yourself."
Wang Huan looked sarcastic
"We are not as good as Lord Yan's saintly grace, and the royal pen bestowed by the saint, but you can't hold it, you dropped it, oh oh yo yo, tut tut."
Rigorous and furious
"Wang Huan, don't bully others too much!"
Chang Sheng, who was already at a loss, was even more confused when he saw the two people arguing strangely.
"Two adults, what's going on?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Huan was deliberately mischievous and secretly slapped Yan Jin on the buttocks. The pain made Yan Jin grimace.
"Ouch!"
Yan Yan guarded his butt fiercely. In spite of the severe pain, he gave Wang Huan a sinister look, and then cried to Chang Sheng with tears streaming down his face.
"Lord City Lord, you have to make the decision for me. This fat man Wang is jealous that I have received His Majesty's favor. Today in court, Your Majesty gave me a pen. This Fatty Wang has a grudge. He actually pretended to be unprepared when I took over the pen. He dropped the imperial pen on the ground and framed Xiaguan in public, causing Xiaguan to receive a beating in vain."
When Chang Sheng heard this, he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughed. At the same time, he also blamed Wang Huan.
"Master Wang, you have gone too far."
Unexpectedly, Wang Huan also looked aggrieved, pointed at Yan Jing and cursed
"City Lord, this rigorous talk is full of nonsense. He obviously didn't catch it. How can you blame me for deliberately framing him? It's just a royal pen. Can I do it?"
Rigorous and unforgiving
"It's you. You are jealous and have wanted to harm me for a long time."
Wang Huan also looked impatient.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
With that said, he was about to walk away, but was held by a hand. When he looked back, it was Chang Sheng who was holding him and winking at him.
This scene did not escape rigorous eyes
"Okay, are you trying to collude to trap me? Lord City Lord, you can't go astray."
As he said that, he sat down on the ground and started crying, but the injury on his butt was not healed yet. He grimaced in pain and stood up again in pain.
Chang Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw his funny look, so he could only comfort him and said:
"Okay Master Yan, I have something to ask Mr. Wang. You were injured just now. You need to rest and it is not appropriate to get angry."
Yan Jin gave Wang Huan a vicious look, and slowly walked to the side. Unexpectedly, a snake suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took another bite on Yan Jin's butt.
"ah!"
The rigorous screams instantly resounded throughout the city lord's palace, and everyone burst into laughter.
"What the hell is this? Why are there snakes here?"
Rigorous howl of pain.
Zhou Xier ran over panting and said
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, this is the venomous snake that Mr. Yan gave me. It usually doesn't bite people. It will only move its mouth when given an order. But sometimes it will bite people when it is really hungry. Maybe it's the one on your butt. The smell of blood attracted it.”
Yan Qing rolled his eyes, his face turned pale.
"Poisonous... poisonous snake?"
As he spoke, his whole body stiffened and he fell straight to the ground.
"Master Yan! Master Yan!"
Zhou Xi'er stretched out her hand to sniff Yan Qing's nose and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I still have energy. Master Yan is really unlucky today."
With that said, Yan Jin took an antidote and ordered people to send Yan Jin to the guest room to rest.
On the other side, Chang Sheng led Wang Huan to a secluded place.
"Lord City Lord, what exactly do you want to ask me when you call this old slave?"
"Manager Wang, I wonder where you were last night?"
Wang Huan was stunned
"Of course I am serving the saint in the palace. Why does the city lord ask like this?"
Chang Sheng asked again
"Has Mr. Wang ever practiced martial arts?"
Wang Huan shook his head
"I can't even read a few words, let alone practice martial arts."
At this moment, another venomous snake suddenly appeared, spitting out snake bites, and attacked Wang Huan.
Wang Huan was shocked, panicked for a moment, and backed away crazily, his mouth still trembling as he said
"Lord City Lord, why are there so many snakes here?"
But he, a pampered manager, could not outrun the poisonous snake. He saw the poisonous snake suddenly bounced up into the air and was about to bite Wang Huan on the face, but was caught by a hand.
Wang Huan was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and trembled. Seeing that the poisonous snake was caught, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this the snake you raised?"
The person who caught the poisonous snake was Yan Sihai. He ignored Wang Huan and just looked at Chang Sheng and shook his head.
"I'm sure it's not him. He doesn't know martial arts and his eyes are wrong."
Chang Sheng nodded slightly. Her guess was correct. Wang Huan was indeed not the culprit in the boy's disappearance.
"Xi'er!"
Zhou Xier ran over again in a hurry.
"What happened again?"
Looking at Wang Huan paralyzed on the ground, Zhou Xier looked confused.
"Master Wang is frightened. Send Master Wang to take a rest."
After Zhou Xier took Wang Huan away, Chang Sheng said
"Lao Yan, I need you to do me a favor."
Yan Sihai said
"do what?"
Chang Sheng leaned into Yan Sihai's ear and whispered a few words. Yan Sihai frowned.
"Why are you checking this?"
Chang Sheng said mysteriously
"You'll know then."
Yan Sihai shook his head and said helplessly
"Okay, I really have the same virtue as your brother."
After a whole afternoon, Chang Sheng finally sent away all the guests. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Chang Sheng stared at the horizon.
"Sister, Master Yan and Master Wang are awake."
Zhou Xier ran over.
Behind him, Yan Jin limped over, his face still a little pale, and Wang Huan next to him also had dull eyes, like a walking corpse.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the expressions of the two of them, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Master Yan, what's going on?"
Yan Jin was bitten after Chang Sheng and Wang Huan left, so she didn't know about Yan Jin being bitten.
Zhou Xier lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Old Yan gave me a snake, but the snake accidentally bit Mr. Yan on the butt."
Yan Yan glanced at Zhou Xier fiercely.
"Lord City Lord, I will leave first."
Wang Huan was in shock
"The old slave is leaving now."
With that said, the two of them fled the city lord's mansion as fast as they could.
Chang Sheng covered her mouth and chuckled, then patted Zhou Xier on the head.
"Brat."
Zhou Xier stuck out her tongue and ran in playfully.
It was night. Because many new servants had arrived today, the city lord's mansion became much livelier. There were guards patrolling the palace and servants waiting in each courtyard. Even late at night, the lights were brightly lit.
Zhou Xi'er stood in her yard, staring at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with slight tears on her young face.
"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much."
In the past few days, in the dead of night, he always stood alone in the yard, looking at the moon and feeling sad.
Chang Sheng stood outside the yard, looked at Zhou Xi'er, and sighed. Speaking of which, his parents had only died not long ago, and they had to always be on guard against the pursuit on the twelfth floor. Chang Sheng could not imagine that the child in front of him... What kind of psychological pressure are you enduring?
The venomous snake raised by Zhou Xi'er silently spit out snake bites and kept circling around Zhou Xi'er, like a loyal servant guarding his master.
"Qing'er."
This is the name Zhou Xier gave to the snake.
There was a trace of hatred in Zhou Xier's eyes.
"Father, mother, grandpa, I already know that the person who killed you is the Twelfth Floor. Xi'er will definitely avenge you."
He clenched his fists and looked at Qing'er.
"Qing'er, when Lao Yan and I learn kung fu, we can go and avenge our parents and grandpa."
Qing'er spit out the snake letter, its eyes suddenly became sharp, and it suddenly swam away into the distance.
"Qinger"
Zhou Xier called.
But he suddenly staggered and felt unsteady.
He was a little confused as to what was going on. Then, he felt dizzy and saw the ground shaking violently.
From a distance, Chang Sheng looked at Zhou Xi'er and Qing'er's strange reactions and didn't know why.
But in the yard, Zhou Xi'er suddenly felt like the world was turned upside down. In the distance, Qing'er suddenly went crazy, spitting snake letters into the sky like crazy.
Zhou Xi'er followed Qing'er's line of sight and slowly looked up.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the sky that had darkened suddenly suddenly burst into flames, and then, gradually, bursts of light appeared on the horizon!
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xi'er suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the sky. Suddenly, in the sky, a stream of blood floated in front of his eyes. A stream of blood came from nowhere and splashed on Zhou Xi'er's face.
Zhou Xier was horrified to find that he heard a devilish sound in his ears.
"Have you remembered this familiar feeling?"
Zhou Xier yelled in panic.
"Who are you!"
In the distance, Chang Sheng looked at what was happening in the yard in shock. She didn't understand why Zhou Xi'er suddenly seemed crazy. She looked around, but still found nothing in the yard.
But weird things were still happening, and Zhou Xier felt that suddenly another stream of blood fell on his face in the sky.
"ah!"
A scream came, and he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
"Xi'er!"
Someone calls him! That voice was more familiar to him. He opened his eyes suddenly, it was the third aunt!
In mid-air, Third Aunt's body was broken into two pieces, but Third Aunt's upper body was still squirming, her hands were full of blood, and she kept crawling toward Zhou Xi'er, screaming sadly.
"Xi'er, save me!"
"Wow!"
Zhou Xier couldn't open his eyes as the sword flashed.
"Gulu"
When he opened his eyes again, the third aunt's head rolled in front of him like a rubber ball. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground, clawing at the ground and moving back.
However, the scene changed, and another old man was tremblingly leaning on a cane.
Zhou Xier looked at the old man and shouted
"village head!"
The village chief smiled at him, his face full of wrinkles, but Zhou Xier felt a warmth
"Village Chief, Xi'er misses you so much."
"Click!"
But at this moment, a pair of big black hands appeared behind the village chief and twisted the head of the village chief directly!
Zhou Xier's tears couldn't stop flowing and she roared
"No!"
That magic sound appeared in Zhou Xier's mind again
"They were all killed by you."
The scene turned again, with blood flowing gurglingly. Looking back along the blood, there was a little girl. The little girl was lying on the ground with a face full of fear. And above the little girl, there were two people, a boy and a girl, who looked like They are the little girl's parents, and they protect the little girl tightly.
Zhou Xier stretched out her hand tremblingly.
"Tangtang, come here, come to brother."
But the little girl remained motionless, still maintaining that frightened expression. Zhou Xier felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw Tangtang's father lying on the top, protecting his wife and children, but on his back, there was a long sword. Pierce straight down!
"Stab it!"
A man in black, with evil eyes, pierced three people with his sword, and then he actually picked them up in a row!
The man in black looked at Zhou Xi'er with a smile, waving the three men on his sword, as if they were still provoking him!
Zhou Xier's eyes were about to burst, and she screamed heartbreakingly.
"ah!"
Outside the yard, Chang Sheng felt more and more that something was wrong. She ran to Zhou Xi'er and shook Zhou Xi'er's body crazily.
"Xi'er! Xi'er! Wake up!"
However, at this time, Zhou Xi'er was acting like a madman and could not listen to Chang Sheng's words at all. He pushed Chang Sheng away and his two fists were flying randomly in the air, as if he wanted to hit something.
Chang Sheng fell to the ground. When she wanted to stand up again, she suddenly felt a familiar smell coming to her nose.
Her eyes tightened and she quickly covered her mouth and nose.
"Manzhushahua!"
