The Male Wife

Chapter 216 Clumsy

Outside the city lord's mansion, the head said without turning his head: "The city lords of South China City are really not as good as the next generation, and such a clumsy reason can be said."

The fat elder said: "The head thinks that the city lord just came here to lie to us? This should be unnecessary, right?"

The skinny old man has a small mind and a careful heart, and when he was in the city lord's mansion, he immediately discovered the perfunctory words in the city lord's words, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves of the house, so the thin old man didn't say anything, pretending not to notice arrive.

But this doesn't mean that the skinny old man really doesn't know anything. The thin old man pursed his lips and said, "Our Daoguang sect hasn't gone down the mountain for many years, and we don't know what happened down the mountain, so the city lord just now, However, a few years ago, when something begged our Daoguang Sect to beg them, it was our turn to beg them, but we completely forgot about our Daoguang Sect helping them back then. "

The head of the sect had a dark face, how could he fail to see the plot of the city lord, but the city lord was unwilling, and it was impossible for him to put a knife on the city lord's neck to force him to cooperate with the Daoguang sect.

A paper crane flying around wobbled and stopped in front of the fat old man. The fat old man was overjoyed, and quickly opened the paper crane, saying: "This paper crane is just a disciple I sent to investigate the matter. For them, there should be news now."

The head and the thin elder looked at the fat elder.

The fat old man finished reading and said: "The Wuwu Pavilion is in the east of South China City, and Jiang Linzhi is also there. The disciples at the bottom took a portrait to see it, and said that the owner of the Wuwu Pavilion was the one who broke into our road back then. Guang Zongmen, the person who took away the ancient books."

"A small Inorganic Pavilion actually has such a great ability." The head sneered, it's hard for these people to think that their Daoguang Sect is a soft persimmon, and they can pinch it as they want.

"Inorganic Pavilion is a big faction that gradually emerged ten years ago. It specializes in collecting secrets of the world and buying and selling news." The skinny old man has done his homework this time, "If we were in the imperial capital, we could still rely on the old master The nobles who have helped the masters and uncles in the imperial capital have competed against Wuwu Pavilion, but now..."

The fat elder remained silent with a cold face, and the face of the head of the sect was also full of indifference.

"Uncle and master have both passed away. Even if there is something really wrong with the Daoguang Sect now, it is absolutely impossible for the nobles in the imperial capital to help us." The head said, "We have nothing to do with the nobles in the imperial capital. If Because of such a small matter, I ask the nobles. If we also go down, what will the master and uncles think of us? Will our Daoguang sect really become a running dog who works for the nobles in the future?" The fat elder stopped talking Yes, the skinny old man's eyes were a little vacant. "Now that you know where Jiang Linzhi is, let's go find someone directly." The head said directly, "There is no grudge between Wuwu Pavilion and Daoguang Sect. If it is really because of something decades ago ...Don't forget, the current Daoguang Sect is not the same as the Daoguang Sect 20 years ago.

"En." The skinny old man nodded, expressing his understanding.

And when the three Taoist priests in dark yellow Taoist robes walked to the Wuwu Pavilion, they had just reached the street entrance, and before they reached the door, they saw the city lord's carriage parked at the door of the Wuwu Pavilion from a distance.

The three of them paused, stood where they were, and watched from a distance.

The head of the sect whispered: "Why did the city lord come to Wuwu Pavilion?

The fat old man scolded bluntly: "At first, I thought that the city lord of South China City declined us because he didn't want to have any grudges with others, but I didn't expect that the city lord's mansion and Wuwu Pavilion had already secretly formed an ally." The elder laughed at himself, "When we went to find the city lord just now, no wonder he didn't agree at all at first. It turned out to be the reason. I thought...it was really abominable."

The headmaster's face was extremely ugly, probably he didn't expect to see this scene before him, he sneered and said: "It seems that we made a mistake when we asked for help from the City Lord's Mansion. Well, it's still too late, let's go back first, and then we can do a good job." Let's discuss it."

The three came over without a sound, and then left without a sound.

The hidden guards of the Inorganic Pavilion in the dark had seen this scene a long time ago. They didn't intend to pay attention to it at first. After all, they were just three insignificant Taoist priests. After the news, after thinking about it, I went back and reported this episode as soon as possible.

At the same time, when Jiang Linzhi learned that the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to visit in person, he thought he was the City Lord at first, but he didn't expect to hear from the steward that he was a concubine from the City Lord's Mansion... who couldn't move , immediately turned cold.

In South China City, even if Wuwu Pavilion needs to rely on the support of the City Lord's Mansion if it wants to survive, it is only because Wuwu Pavilion does not want to cause trouble, so it will give the City Lord's Mansion a face on the bright side, but if the City Lord's Mansion deceives people too much , they will not back down step by step.

In terms of ruthlessness, the Wuwu Pavilion is definitely not a fake move that just talks but doesn't practice.

The steward's expression was also very ugly. He probably didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to let a concubine come to visit him. It's really ugly to hear about it.

"Leave people there, don't pay attention." Pei Cheng, who was sitting quietly and eating, said first. Pei Cheng saw Jiang Linzhi's face was not good-looking, so he was worried that Jiang Linzhi would do something in a fit of anger. facial matter.

Fortunately, Jiang Linzhi didn't intend to argue with a woman at first, and Pei Cheng also spoke, so he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand and asked people to go out.

The steward glanced at Pei Cheng cautiously, his eyes were full of admiration, and then quietly left.

There are only two or three servants in the house.

Pei Cheng had almost eaten, but he still couldn't help picking up a bun, and said while eating, "We are still in South China City, if we really offend someone, what if we can't leave the city by then?"

Jiang Linzhi didn't speak, his face was still cold.

They are all people with great power. Now the city lord's mansion has sent a concubine who can't stand on the stage to Wuwu Pavilion. This is to fight Wuwu Pavilion, so how could Jiang Linzhi not be angry.

Pei Cheng ate half of it and couldn't eat any more, so he stuffed the remaining buns into Jiang Linzhi's mouth and asked him to finish it for himself, then wiped his mouth and said, "I know you feel uncomfortable, but now Take a step back and open up to the sea and the sky."

Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "This matter can't be kind."

Pei Cheng was startled, "Why do you say that?"

"Let a concubine who is not on the stage come out to meet people. If I have done nothing in Wuwu Pavilion, if it spreads, it will give others a signal that I am incompetent in Wuwu Pavilion." Jiang Linzhi didn't dislike Pei Cheng either. Those who ate the steamed stuffed bun finished the buns, and then continued: "If there is a first time, there will be a second time. In the future, Wuwu Pavilion's status in Jianghu will change."

When Jiang Linzhi pointed out the question so clearly, Pei Cheng was taken aback for a while, but still said: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't understand these things."

Jiang Rinzhi didn't care, but it was funny to see Pei Cheng say sorry to himself so guiltyly, "I'm not angry, it's not too late for you to know these things now."

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi and said, "How will this matter be resolved?"

Jiang Linzhi stretched out his hand, picked up the messy hair around Pei Cheng's ear, and said, "Now we can't leave Huanan City so soon. We can't leave for the time being until there is an explanation on this matter."

Pei Cheng nodded, this was for the sake of the overall situation, he knew it very well, so he didn't feel too much.

The corner of Jiang Linzhi's mouth twitched into an arc, delighted in Pei Cheng's obedience, but he didn't show it at all on his face, "They probably just want this woman to test us, and he will come to the door in person in three days at the latest. "

Pei Cheng frowned, "Just a wayfinder?"

He thought that the concubine was sent here on purpose, as a vanguard, but unexpectedly, she was just a deadly cannon fodder.

This surprised Pei Cheng.

Jiang Linzhi nodded, this kind of tactic is very common, but after Wuwu Pavilion occupied a certain position in the Jianghu and the court, few people used this trick for him.

Heck, it's really rare.

Pei Cheng didn't speak anymore, his mind was messy, and he was still thinking about this matter.

Seeing that Pei Cheng was thinking happily, Jiang Linzhi didn't bother him.

There was a coquettish voice of a puppy outside the door, Pei Cheng was startled, but Jiang Linzhi frowned.

The servants in the house hurriedly went out to check the situation.

A white-haired puppy, flicking its tail, followed Jiang Yanzhi and walked in.Jiang Yanzhi exudes air-conditioning all over his body.

The puppy is very afraid of Jiang Yanzhi, but he stubbornly follows Jiang Yanzhi.

Pei Cheng said, "This is...?"

He had seen dogs before. When he was in Hwaseong, the Jiang family welcomed an imperial merchant from the imperial capital one year, and the imperial merchant was accompanied by such a puppy.

What surprised Pei Cheng was, when did this dog follow?

Jiang Linzhi glanced at the puppy, his eyes flashed with obvious displeasure, "This was sent by Zhu Wang when he was in the imperial capital." Zhu Wang?

Jiang Yanzhi walked to Pei Cheng's side, "Father."

The puppy raised his head, and stared blankly at the familiar Jiang Yanzhi. The little master ignored him; Sounds harmless.

The puppy ran under Pei Cheng's table, whimpered coquettishly from time to time, and then licked Pei Cheng's calf flatteringly.Pei Cheng was so happy that he couldn't help but squat down and wanted to hug it, but was stopped by the jealous man.

Jiang Linzhi frowned, "Take it away."

The puppy seemed to be aware of Jiang Linzhi's malice towards him, so he turned around Pei Cheng even more flatteringly, and the wet dog's eyes were full of mist.

Really...

That's so cute.

The servant stepped forward, wanting to take the puppy away, but was stopped by Pei Cheng, "Leave it."
