Xiping City can be said to be prosperous like the Lanyan City, with business travelers like clouds and pedestrians like weaving. The moment Lin Muyu stepped into Xiping City gave Lin Muyu an illusion. It is simply a prosperous city. Of course, I saw Xu Chuan and other dragons in Lin Muyu. After riding, I won’t continue to maintain this kind of thinking. The Tianji Empire’s hierarchical division and the distinction between high and low must be stricter. Those with strong strength are also more brutal and indifferent. Not to mention it.
A very rich and majestic mansion is located in the center of Xiping City. It covers a huge area, resembling a palace-like magnificent luxury. This is the city lord mansion of Xiping city and the residence and city lord mansion of the provincial governor Bei Mingshuang.
In the depths of the mansion, inside the chamber.
Bei Mingshuang has a beard with a horoscope and sits in a carved chair. His cheekbones are a bit protruding, but his eyes are full of light. He gently put down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "Since the lady said that, then we Xiping The city has to help Tianjizong get this thing done. Don’t worry, one hundred fifth-class demon spirit stones are a bit difficult to get, but even if I turn the treasury of Xiping Mansion upright, I must do it. Missy put together these one hundred demon spirit stones."
Opposite him, a young girl in a green shirt was sitting there very calmly, her face made of pink jade made people marvel at the magic of Tiangong's creation, and the heaven and earth could create such a delicate and wonderful person.
"Then, thank you Lord Governor!"
The girl stood up, bowed in an elegant manner, and smiled: "Then, I will go back first and wait for the Governor's news."
"Okay, don't worry, Miss! Come, send Miss Sagong."
"Yes!"
A few guards respectfully waited outside the door, and after the girl went out, the few attendants she brought respectfully followed behind. Although this is Xiping Mansion, the girl’s eyes are full of pride. In my eyes, however, she does have this ability to be so proud, after all, she is Sikong Yao, the only granddaughter of the Tianji Sect's Sect Master Sikong, and she is simply the treasure of the entire Tianji Sect.
In the hall, Bei Ming was silent.
Behind him, a middle-aged strong man with a bright eye said: "My lord, Tianjizong is getting more and more excessive. He didn't even ask for something from Xiping City without petitioning his majesty. Huh... Sikongyao of Jizong is also in the face of this day. I don't put you in my eyes, my lord!"
"That's it..."
Bei Ming shook his head and said, "Who made her be Sikong Yao? The old fellow Sikong Ming simply regarded Sikong Yao as a jewel in his palm. Tianjizong is the first sect in the empire and the mainland. We can't afford to commit crimes. They are going to petition to your majesty, and your majesty will also order Xiping City to provide her with a hundred demon spirit stones. Forget it... let someone go to the mansion to search for it. If they don’t get enough, they will go to the chamber of commerce to buy it at a high price. In short, Just try to meet Sikongyao's requirements, don't cause unnecessary trouble for yourself."
"Yes, the subordinates understand."
At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside the hall: "Your Excellency, someone outside said that he had brought a corpse of the Demon King and wanted to receive the reward. The person looked plain and he didn't have any cultivation skills at all. He's a liar, let his subordinates blast him away, right?"
"fraud?"
Bei Ming frowned, "I don't think it is necessary. Since you dare to bring the body of the Demon King, let him enter the compound. Let's go and see."
"Yes!"
Outside the door, Sikongyao, who had not yet walked far away, frowned and said softly, "The body of the Demon King... Who has such great abilities to kill the Demon King? Don't leave, just take a look."
"Yes, Miss!" A group of guards nodded respectfully, and among them, there were many experts at the Saint Martial Venerable level. With such a group of people as guards, one can imagine how honorable Sikongyao's identity is. The prince of the empire may not have such a style when he goes out.
Accompanied by the "squeaky squeaky" sound, someone drove a carriage into the courtyard. It was Liu Buyi. The body of the Demon King on the carriage was wrapped in black cloth, so outsiders could not see the truth.
"Your Excellency, this is the person."
A group of guards surrounded them, one by one with swords drawn. If Liu Buyi is determined to be a liar, there is no doubt that his fate will not be too good.
"The villain sees the Governor-General!"
Liu Buyi quickly got out of the carriage and knelt on his knees, looking spineless.
Bei Ming Shuang belonged to the royal family, and naturally looked down on people like Liu Buyi, frowning, and said: "I heard that you killed the Demon King and brought the body of the Demon King?"
"It's not a villain."
Liu Buyi said, "It's just that the villain found the body of the Demon King when he was passing by Ai Cao Mountain. The empire's post is very true. You can receive the reward as long as you bring the body of the Demon King. Please take a look at this corpse. It's still complete."
After the cloth was opened, the body of the Demon King whose demon spirit stone had been taken out of his brain was revealed. The faint fishy smell made the group of people around couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.
Bei Ming was silent, and the warrior on the side frowned and groaned: "My lord, it is indeed the corpse of the Demon King."
Sikong Yao was startled, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise: "Blood Jade? This is the corpse of Blood Jade, why was it killed by someone?"
Bei Ming was stunned: "Miss, who is the blood girl?"
Sikongyao smiled slightly and said: "The adults don't know. There are many demon spirits living in the area of Wormwood Mountain, and they have repeatedly conflicted with our Tianjizong. The name of this demon king is Xueji, who died in her hands. There is no one hundred and fifty, huh, I didn't expect that she would die now. What a pity, I originally planned to kill her personally to avenge the clerks!"
"So, this is indeed a Demon King." Bei Mingshuang was silent again.
Liu Buyi grinned and said, "Master Governor, according to the text, is it possible to give rewards to the villain now?"
Where is Bei Mingshuang willing to give expensive demon spirit stones to a villain like Liu Buyi, but there are so many people in the big court. If Bei Mingshuang is unwilling to hand over the reward, it will definitely become the laughing stock of others, especially Sikong. Yao, she is holding her arms in front of her chest, gathering a pair of at least c-cup peaks and ridges, smiling and waiting to see her jokes.
You must not be despised by this little Nizi!
The corners of Bei Ming's mouth twitched, and said: "Come here, go to the mansion to get a demon spirit stone of the demon lord, and a gold ticket of 20,000 gold coins, and give it to this young man. In addition, since the young man has obtained the demon The king’s body, why don’t you stay in the mansion for a few more days, as Xiping City’s hospitality for you, what do you think?"
Liu Buyi is not stupid. If he really lives in Xiping Mansion, whether he can leave alive is a problem. He grinned silly and said, "This... not so good. The villain will not bother the adults anymore. Besides, the villain's My friend is still waiting for me, and I will go back after receiving the reward."
"Oh, that's okay..." Bei Mingshuang was also uncomfortable in the eyes of everyone.
Soon after, an attendant came with a reward, a thick stack of gold tickets, plus a precious demon spirit stone in a box. The demon spirit stone of the demon king was already quite expensive, by no means tens of thousands. Things you can buy with gold coins.
"Then, the villain is leaving!" Liu Buyi happily took everything and stuffed it into his arms, unloaded the body of the Demon King, turned around and drove the horse away.
Bei Mingshuang didn't speak, but just gestured to his subordinates. The middle-aged strong man nodded and smiled, then turned and headed towards the backyard.
"Miss Sikongyao, then I will not be far away." Bei Ming smiled.
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, Lord Governor."
Sikongyao nodded in greeting, turned around and left Xiping Mansion. A group of subordinates followed. One of them asked in a low voice, "Miss, where are we going now, why don't we live in Xiping Mansion?"
"Living in Xiping Mansion?"
Sikongyao pursed her small pink mouth: "What's so fun in Xiping Mansion, it's so boring, and the two old men of Beiming are treacherous and cunning, I don't want to live under his nose."
The guard smiled slightly: "I see, the kid who took the Demon Sovereign Demon Spirit Stone must not be able to leave, at least he can't leave the territory of Xiping City alive. Sooner or later, this demon spirit stone will return to Bei Mingshuang's hands. The reputation of the first iron rooster in Xishan Province is not for nothing."
"who cares… "
A trace of fatigue appeared on Sikongyao's delicate face, and said, "Let's go, let's find an inn and stay in first. In the afternoon, I will take a good stroll around Xiping City."
"Yes, Miss!"
But the guards didn't see that a sly smile passed across Sikongyao's beautiful face.
…
At dusk, outside Xiping City, Shilipo Inn.
Shilipo is one of the three inns in the north of the city. The accommodation is relatively cheap, so Lin Muyu chose such a joint location. When Liu Buyi drove the carriage into the inn, Lin Muyu, who was hiding among the pedestrians, followed quickly and took a shot. Liu Buyi's shoulder, smiled and said, "Well, the demon spirit stone belongs to me, and the golden ticket belongs to you."
Liu Buyi had 20,000 gold tickets in his hand, and he was already very excited. He handed the demon spirit stone to Lin Muyu with joy, and said: "Young man, I have made a fortune, hahaha, great... I, Liu Buyi, finally this time. I’m getting ahead of others. Who would dare to look down on Liu Buyi in Qinghuangcheng in the future, huh... When I return to Qinghuangcheng, I have to buy a big house with four inputs and four outputs, and 30 concubines, one per day, January 1st. wheel."
Lin Muyu said, "There are only 28 days in February, what should I do?"
Liu Buyi was stunned for a moment, and sat down on the cold stone slab in the inner courtyard of the inn: "Yes, what can I do?"
"Haha, what do you want to do so much, eat a good meal first!"
"OK!"
…
In the blink of an eye late at night, the lights in Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi's respective rooms were all turned off. Not only did Liu Buyi get tired from the continuous drive, even Lin Muyu felt that he needed enough sleep.
The moonlight was like water, and everything seemed so quiet except for the sound of a group of guests gambling in the lobby of the passenger station.
"Swipe..."
Three people in a row appeared on the roof, all covering their faces, and the steel knife in his hand was glowing with a faint cold light.
