70: C70 City Lord's Mansion

C70 City Lord's Mansion

When the guards of City Lord Mansion arrived, besides the corpses of Hei Hu and the others, as well as some shoes and socks that were squeezed out in the chaos, and even pants, there was nothing else at the scene.

"They don't respect the law at all!"

The captain of the guards looked at the chaos and couldn't help but call out to the queen.

As for the City Lord Mansion guards under his command, some of them were familiar with this place. When he saw the corpse's face, he said: "Captain, The person who died was called Hei Hu. He was a famous rogue in these two streets. There were so many people watching from the side just now. I'm afraid it was Hei Hu who provoked trouble again. In the end, he met someone stronger than him, and his head was cut off by a sword. "

He heard that it was Hei Hu. What?" Captain Wei's eyebrows relaxed a little when he heard that a rogue had been killed. Then, he said angrily, This murderer is looking down on the law!"

"Yes. "

The guard nodded his head repeatedly. He did not dare to anger his superior at this moment.

"Right now, City Lord's 100th birthday is about to arrive. We must maintain the law and order in the city. We must not let similar killings happen again. Otherwise, all of you will be in trouble!"

Captain Wei knocked on the ground with his sword sheath and said with a strong voice, "Now, you must search the place immediately. You must arrest the murderer who has no law or order!"

"Yes!"

The guards answered one after another and spread out to search for the murderer who could not be caught.

. . .

On the other side, in the Elemental River Pavilion.

Chu Yun returned to the pavilion and saw the employees of the Elemental River Pavilion doing their work in an orderly manner under the lead of two old shopkeepers. He nodded his head in satisfaction and returned to his room.

Chu Yun did not have any other requests for the Elemental River Pavilion. As long as it could smoothly open its business for two months, everything would be fine once Chu Yun completed the Celestial Grade mission.

During this period of time, Chu Yun would never tolerate anyone who dared to cause trouble for the Elemental River Pavilion.

Lying on the bed, Chu Yun recalled what he had just experienced and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, wherever there are people, there will be a world of martial arts. There is a huge dynasty in this world, and naturally, there will be a world of martial arts outside of the order of the dynasty. With that red-dressed lady's attire, she should be a Jianghu ranger. "

A ranger usually didn't care about authority, power, and morals.

Chu Yun was a big shot in Linghai Giant City and also the master of Elemental River Pavilion. When he met a rogue like Hei Hu, he could only comply with the rules and deal with Hei Hu. Otherwise, he would be targeted by others.

However, it was different for a ranger like the woman in red.

When she saw the injustice, it was hard for her to calm down. Without any hesitation, she attacked and killed that rogue on the street.

Although her actions were very rash, it was very in line with the violent aesthetics in Chu Yun's mind. Chu Yun felt very carefree.

She was also very in line with Chu Yun's definition of a ranger.

To be honest, Chu Yun appreciated her a lot, but what he admired was not her appearance or ability. It was her way of living. It was a very romantic, ranger's way of living.

However, although Chu Yun admired her a lot, if he wanted Chu Yun to do things like her, then forget it. He was a big shot, and he couldn't just do whatever he wanted. There were hundreds of people in the Elemental River Pavilion who were counting on him.

Chu Yun turned around and fell asleep.

The next day, in the evening.

The Linghai Giant City was decorated with colorful lanterns and lanterns, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

Dozens of flower carriages were marching around the city, attracting countless citizens to join in the fun.

This was not a festival, but the birthday of the Linghai Giant City's City Lord, Qin Wuji. Although this was not a festival, it was no different from a festival to the people of Linghai Giant City. It needed to be celebrated by everyone.

When night fell, all the major powers in Linghai Giant City sent out their luxurious carriages, each pulling a carriage full of gifts towards the City Lord Mansion in the center of Linghai Giant City.

Chu Yun sat on the carriage of Elemental River Pavilion and looked at Shopkeeper Yang who was driving the carriage. He said, "The birthday celebration of the City Lord is so grand. Our Elemental River Pavilion will have to spend a lot of money today, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at the carriages of gifts wrapped in red silk behind the carriages of Elemental River Pavilion. Each of these gifts was worth a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It can't be helped. This is a once in a century day. We have to give a lot of gifts to the mayor. "

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Yang pointed to the delicate box under Chu Yun's feet and said, "Great Shopkeeper, you have to keep this thing well in a while. After the banquet starts, you have to give it to City Lord personally to show your sincerity. "

Chu Yun picked up the box and opened it. There was a spirit jade the size of an egg inside. As soon as he opened the box, rich spiritual qi spread out from the box and attracted all the surrounding spiritual qi into the jade.

"This is a natural Spirit Gathering Jade?"

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows. The value of this treasure that could aid one's cultivation was not low. It was just like the Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant on his waist. It was a treasure that was extremely beneficial to the wearer.

Shopkeeper Yang nodded and said, "This Spirit Gathering Jade is different from the Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant that was made using a formation. Because it is natural, its value is very high. This Spirit Gathering Jade of ours has a history of over a hundred years. We spent a lot of effort to obtain it. This time, we are using it as a gift to the Elemental River Pavilion's City Lord. "

"This is not bad. "

Chu Yun nodded his head. Such a gift was indeed very valuable. Although it might not be the best among the congratulatory gifts of the major powers, it was definitely not bad. This was enough.

After all, birthday gifts were just a formality. If there was really something that he needed help with, he would like to ask the City Lord Mansion for help. He wouldn't give gifts at such an occasion.

When everyone was giving treasures to the City Lord, even if you chose an exceptionally good treasure, it wouldn't be so good here, and the City Lord wouldn't necessarily appreciate it.

Therefore, he only needed to give something ordinary to the City Lord.

Not long after that, the Elemental River Pavilion's convoy arrived outside the City Lord Mansion.

When Chu Yun arrived at the headquarters of Elemental River Pavilion for the first time, he could feel the imposing manner.

When he arrived at the City Lord Mansion, he felt that it was very imposing.

Chu Yun felt that this City Lord Mansion was magnificent and magnificent. Even the Forbidden City Museum that he had visited before could not compare to this City Lord Mansion.

"After all, he is the most respected person in the entire Spiritual Sea. His aura is not surprising. "

Shopkeeper Yang's voice rang out from the side.

"Indeed. "

Chu Yun nodded in agreement, then walked up the stairs in front of the gate.

The convoy could not continue moving forward after reaching here. The gifts on the carriage would enter the City Lord Mansion through the back door, while the important people of the Elemental River Pavilion would walk into the City Lord Mansion to attend the banquet.

"Boss Chu, welcome. "

Steward Qi stood at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion. When he saw the caravan of the Elemental River Pavilion from afar, he greeted them with a smile.

"Steward Qi, you are too polite. "

Chu Yun smiled and walked forward. Shopkeeper Yang, who was standing beside him, held a red and gold plated gift sheet and handed it to Steward Qi, who was standing at the entrance. He said, "This is a token of appreciation from Elemental River Pavilion to celebrate the birthday of the city lord. "

"You are very kind!"

Steward Qi maintained his smile and took the gift sheet. He glanced at it and handed it to the maid behind him.

Everyone knew that the things on the gift slip were the most basic. But in reality, the real gifts were carried by the important people present. They would only be revealed during the celebration banquet. Before that, people had to keep it a secret.

The dozen or so armored soldiers at the door shouted loudly: "Guests are here! Great Shopkeeper of Elemental River Pavilion! - Chu Yun has come to celebrate the City Lord's birthday!"1

The voice came from the entrance all the way into the mansion.

If there were only one or two people shouting at the entrance of such a huge mansion, the people inside wouldn't be able to hear anything. Thus, from the entrance to the mansion, there were over a hundred soldiers specially used to sing the names of the guests.

Judging from the number of people, it was enough to see the majestic aura of City Lord Mansion, which made people click their tongues in wonder.

"Boss Chu, please come in. The banquet is about to begin. "

Steward Qi made an inviting gesture to Chu Yun. His attitude was very different from the last time he went to the Elemental River Pavilion.

Previously, he had regarded Chu Yun as a young man who only got the position of Great Shopkeeper because of his background and status. Naturally, he had looked down on him.

However, two days ago, Chu Yun had chased after the disciples of the Lee Clan who had fled for their lives. He had also found the stolen goods of the Elemental River Pavilion, which had given the Elemental River Pavilion a new lease of life. His actions had proved himself to everyone in the Linghai Giant City. Naturally, Steward Qi would no longer look down on him. Instead, he would respect him.

"Thank you. "

Chu Yun cupped his hands and walked in. He stepped on the red carpet and entered the City Lord Mansion.

Looking from the outside, Chu Yun only felt that the City Lord Mansion was too majestic. It covered a large area, but it was not as exquisite.

However, as soon as Chu Yun walked in, he passed many different sceneries. He felt relaxed and relaxed just by looking at it.

Obviously, the layout and scenery in City Lord Mansion were all created by a great master who had spent a lot of time to build it. Perhaps it had taken several generations of hard work. One could see an ancient charm that had been passed down from generation to generation everywhere.
