Chapter 348: Fairy's kindness
Chapter 348 Lingxian's Kindness
The people in Taiping City were very lively, but everyone's faces were not so relaxed, with some sad faces, and they were walking in a hurry. From time to time, a tall shelf stands on the side of the road, with a flag stuck on it, and the image of a soldier is drawn.
Yan Qingqiu said to An Yan, "I guess it's impossible to leave the city today. Let's find an inn and stay temporarily."
An Yan nodded, looked at Mei Die, and asked her, "Where do you want to live, choose a place."
"Then I'm welcome, I must choose the comfortable one, and also have everything." Mei Die said with a smile, she naturally knew that An Yan was not short of money, so she just wanted to choose the best to enjoy.
At this moment, a voice came from An Yan's bag: "An Yan, are you there?"
Hey, it should be Lingxian's bracelet making a sound.
An Yan opened the bag and took out the chain to see that it was true. She said to the link, "What are you doing, what's the matter?"
"Where have you been, you should have arrived at Taiping City." Lingxian asked.
"Well, it's not long since I arrived, what's the matter? Do you have any advice?" An Yan asked her indifferently.
"I arranged for someone to pick you up so that you can easily pass by." Lingxian said.
Yan Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, as if he didn't believe it. Anyway, he didn't like this woman.
Lingxian added: "They are everyone in this city, and they take care of everything. It is always good to have less trouble."
"How are you familiar with the people here?"
"It turns out that we are hiding, we know a lot of people, I won't hurt you, I don't want Li Rongsen to die, and I'm waiting for you to serve me for a hundred days." Lingxian saw the bracelet after saying this. Does not light up.
An Yan threw the chain into the bag again.
Yan Qingqiu said: "We still have to be vigilant about that woman, I still don't have a good impression of her."
"It's okay, we are three of us." An Yan signaled that he didn't need to worry too much.
And at this time, a gorgeous carriage came from the front and stopped in front of them, blocking the way for the three of them.
An Yan was about to take a detour, but found a man coming down from the carriage. He was a handsome young man. He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are the three of you just coming to Taiping City?"
"Who are you?" Yan Qingqiu asked.
"I'm here to pick up the city lord of the West City, who is it?" The young man looked at An Yan, as if he had already guessed that she was.
An Yan said: "I am."
"Invite the city owner to get in the car and follow me back to the mansion, the mansion is already settled." The boy made a gesture of please.
"Where are the two of them? Is there no carriage for them to ride?" An Yan asked and glanced at Yan Qingqiu and Mei Die.
The young man said: "The city owner is too kind, let the people go and walk."
"They are not my servants, one is the deputy city lord, and the other is also the deputy city lord." An Yan told him solemnly.
These words made Yan Qingqiu proud, and she also looked at Mei Die's face, she was naturally very happy.
The boy was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help asking, "How many deputy city lords are there in Xicheng?"
"Several." As An Yan said, she went around the carriage and headed forward. She didn't really want to take Lingxian's love.
The boy quickly caught up and said, "Since the city owner is not willing to be a carriage, I will accompany the city owner to walk there. It is not a long way, and it will be there soon."
"It's fine for us to stay at the inn and leave early tomorrow morning." An Yan said.
"Since you're here, let's meet the old father in the mansion. He respects Xicheng very much, and he has no chance to meet." The young man said respectfully, but seeing that An Yan was still silent, he added, "We The mansion is seriously inviting the city lord to come over, and I hope the city lord will give me some thin noodles."
An Yan looked at the young man's face and asked him, "Who is the city owner of Taiping City?"
The boy was startled at first, then said, "You will know when you see my father."
This answer is rather strange.
An Yan finally went to his mansion with the young man. It was truly a splendid wall of gold, and it was a different luxury from the streets outside. He saw a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out, followed by a group of people.
The middle-aged man looked at An Yan up and down, and said, "I've heard about the City Lord of Xicheng for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was really unusual." Yan Yu laughed.
"Sorry, let's leave early in the morning." An Yan said.
"Since the city lord is here, let's stay for a while." The middle-aged man said politely.
"Didn't Lingxian tell you that we have important things to do?" An Yan asked him.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's just a few more days, so as not to delay the important matter of the city lord. Besides, I also have an important matter here that I need to discuss with the city lord."
"What's the matter?" An Yan asked.
The middle-aged man motioned people to take Yan Qingqiu and Mei Die down to rest first.
But Yan Qingqiu said: "Just say what you want to say, the city owner will not hide it from us, why should you avoid it?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while, and then said to An Yan, "We just need a city lord here."
"The city owner is not easy to choose, there are so many people in the city."
"The name of this city is Taiping City, and the duty of the city lord is to protect the peace in the city, but for so many years, each city lord has never been in power for more than three years, and there are tigers outside the city who often attack the residents of the city. This old man has broken his head." The middle-aged man sighed again and again.
"The tigers outside the city are all dead." Yan Qingqiu blurted out.
The young man next to him laughed and said, "Those tigers are not ordinary beasts. They are extremely powerful and ferocious, and there are several of them, the same age as our city."
Meidie chuckled and said, "It's really dead."
The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't seem to hear clearly. He only said, "Please go to the back room to rest first. I ordered everyone to prepare." The final words signaled the people to bring An Yan and the others. past the room.
The rooms are very clean, and the furnishings are all new, which shows that the mansion attaches great importance to them.
Yan Qingqiu sat at the table, picked up the cup and looked at it, and asked An Yan, "Don't you think it's strange, they are afraid of tigers, but when we say tigers are dead, they are not happy, what do you mean?"
Meidie opened the window, and saw a blue butterfly flying in, landing on her fingertips, flapping her wings all the time, and then seeing the butterfly transformed into an illusion.
Yan Qingqiu asked Mei Die: "What's your point?"
"When I entered the city just now, I sent this butterfly out to collect news, and now I'm a little confused. The place where we live is surnamed Zhou, which is Zhou's house. It is also the most powerful family in Taiping City, any one The city lord needs the support of the Zhou family to be able to sit in that position and to sit for a long time." Mei Die told An Yan the news.
An Yan came over, sat down beside her, and said, "Why does he insist on letting me be the city lord here."
"Outsiders, easy to control." Mei Die said.
Yan Qingqiu laughed and said, "Who can control An Yan, what a big joke, not to mention that the city lord of Xicheng didn't do it, and came to such a place to be the city lord?"
"You are the city lord here, you will naturally govern this place, and they can go to the West City." Mei Die said again.
"That's what they thought about themselves, how can there be such a good thing." Yan Qingqiu sneered, and then came up with an idea, saying: "There is another strange thing, just now when we talked about tigers, their faces were not very good. Yes, you didn't find it."
"The Zhou family has been able to control Taiping City for a long time. It is precisely because they chased away tigers for the residents that they became heroes, and they also began to be valued by the city owner. As time went by, they were seized of power. It turned out that they were just poor. People." Mei Die said softly.
An Yan frowned, feeling that this was something strange.
