Chapter 93 Meeting an old friend in the city lord’s mansion

Author: Ming Weiwei

Yan Changan's words were very clear.

The identities of the missing people are obvious.

Either they are in love, or they are newly married, both are the times when love is strong.

Yan Chang'an, a foreigner, can find out about these things. It makes no sense that locals like Uncle Mu don't know.

Yan Changan was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then spoke again after a long time: "...several couples of men and women have disappeared. There are two theories in the city. One is that there are monsters in the city that specialize in catching lovers, and the other is -"

He paused: "Secondly, these people have been in contact for a long time and agreed to elope together."

Shu Nong said "Huh?" in confusion, without hesitation: "This second statement, it doesn't sound credible, right?"

"That's right."

Song Lin took over, "If a man and a woman who just communicated with each other disappeared, it would be okay to say that, but there are also newlyweds among the missing people. There is no need for them to elope."

Looking at it this way, the first statement is obviously much more credible.

Yan Changan responded: "It is true that some people have suspected this, but after reporting it to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion inspected the entire city and found no traces of monsters. Instead, they found some evidence that these people communicated with each other."

"...?"

Shu Nong stopped and said, "What does the City Lord's Mansion mean that these people eloped away?"

Which city lord?

So sloppy?

Yan Changan's lips, which were not covered by the mask, straightened slightly: "That's not entirely true. It is said that the other side did not want to believe this situation, so they invited disciples from the Cheng family and Chunyun Sect to investigate, and even the second elder of the Cheng family

We invited them all out, but got nothing."

Therefore, we have to believe the second statement.

In this case, if they gave up looking for Mu Lingling because they were afraid that they would directly believe the second scenario, Uncle Mu and the others' concealment would be understandable because they wanted them to explore Muyun City again.

Shu Nong lifted his feet again, and the group of people wandered to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Compared to other lively and bustling streets, the place where the City Lord's Mansion is located is much deserted. It is already night, and half of the building is hidden in darkness. Only a few lights illuminate the surrounding area, giving it a more desolate feel.

There were no vendors hawking on this street, and there were only a few people from Shu Nong who slowly stopped in front of the city lord's mansion.

There were two guards at the door, one was drowsy and dozing with his spear in his arms, and the other was doing his duty and staring straight at them.

Shu Nong smiled and touched Yan Chang'an beside him: "Have you read the book on how to conquer demons and eliminate demons?"

Yan Changan: "?"

She blinked: "Some things are obviously very simple, but due to various mistakes, they have to wait until the protagonist comes to solve them."

"I have a hunch." She said softly, "This matter is Qingguang's guidance."

She took the lead and was stopped by the guard who was doing his duty without any surprise, and by the way, he woke up another one who was napping.

"Why are you here, girl?"

Shu Nong's eyes under the mask were slightly bent, and he turned around and waved to Shu Yue, who was waiting at the bottom of the steps.

Shu Yue followed her wishes and stepped forward.

Shu Nong spread his hands and said: "Jade sign."

Shu Yue lowered his head slightly, opened his hand, and called out the green jade medal he had taken off his waist not long ago.

Shu Nong reached out to take it, spread his hands and placed them in front of the two guards.

"Yuanzhou Shu Family."

She put away the jade token and returned it to Shu Yue, with a slight smile on her lips, "I want to visit the city lord."

The two guards looked down at the jade plaque at the same time, then looked up at each other. The man who had dozed off before nodded slightly and turned around to enter the city lord's mansion.

The other person's tone became much gentler, and he bowed to Shu Nong: "Fairy, wait a moment."

After a while, an old man who looked like a butler hurried out with the guards, and bowed to Shu Nong and the others.

Shu Nong took a closer look at his face, chuckled, and suddenly reached out and took off the mask.

The housekeeper was attracted by her laughter. When he raised his eyes and looked over, he saw Shu Nong taking off the mask and revealing his true face.

The expression on the face of the richly dressed butler was blank for a moment. He was stunned again and again, his lips opened and closed. After a long time, he bowed again in Shu Nong's smiling eyes: "Xianzi Shu..."

His voice trembled slightly, but presumably he had heard the story of Shu Nong's return as a spirit, so he was not shocked for too long.

"It's you, Butler Gong."

Shu Nong's gaze passed over him, and he looked into the City Lord's Mansion with a few scattered lights, "Then the current City Lord Muyun is still the City Lord Fu?"

Butler Gong led them inside, and after listening to her words, he smiled slightly: "Yes and no, the old city lord Fu you met back then has retreated to the backyard. Now the person in charge of the city lord's mansion is the eldest grandson of the old city lord Fu.

, also called Fu City Lord."

"Ah, that's it." Shu Nong followed him, nodded and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I remember you said something like, 'I won't have two masters in this life.'"

"Indeed." Butler Gong held a lamp in his hand, barely illuminating the way for Shu Nong and the others. With this weak light, when Shu Nong looked over, he could barely see his humble and bowed head.

He frowned, "But now that Old City Lord Fu is still in the City Lord's Mansion, I'm still just working for him."

Shu Nong opened his mouth and was about to ask the new Fu City Lord if he could bear the pressure of his father and his old ministers on him, but he saw the lights in front of him turned on, and Butler Gong led them to stop in front of the private reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.

.

"master."

Butler Gong went in first, turned off the lamp in his hand, greeted the people at the main table, and welcomed Shu Nong and others in.

The man at the head of the throne had already grown his hair, and his face looked much younger than Butler Gong. When he saw Shu Nong, he also stood up and bowed slightly: "I haven't congratulated the fairy on her return yet."

Shu Nong returned the gift: "You're welcome, Old City Master."

She died and was reborn. He didn't go to the World Banquet, and he didn't know that her death and transformation into a spirit was actually nothing worthy of congratulations.

This Old City Master Fu knew that she was dead, but didn't know how she died.

The three people behind Shu Nong had also taken off their masks on the road. One of them was the new master of Qingguang, who was in the limelight recently, and the other two were children of already famous aristocratic families. Old City Master Fu greeted them one by one politely, please

They took their seats.

"I'm sorry for bothering you so late at night, but I hope Old City Master Fu can forgive me." Shu Nong touched the side of the teacup that didn't know whether it was cold or hot, "I just came back to my old place again, and I ended up here unknowingly, and I wanted to see my old friend."

Old City Master Fu smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said, "No need to bother, as far as Muyun people are concerned, it is not too late now. It is an honor for us that the fairy is interested in meeting us."

He continued without knowing anything: "In the past, the fairy and Liu Xianjun traveled to Muyun. Thanks to you two, the Muyun Immortal Sect discovered the demon conspiracy in time and set up an array in advance to protect the people here. The kindness of the two

, from top to bottom of the city lord’s mansion, I still dare not forget it.”

"..."

The room was eerily quiet for a moment.
