C483 Join the City Lord's Mansion
The Great Elder of the Medical Immortal City was the only person in charge other than the Vice City Lord.
The grand elder was in charge of all the big and small matters in the city. If he was the grand elder, it would be better to say that he was the butler.
The head steward's name was Zhong Xiu.
On the surface, he appeared to be around thirty years old, but only he knew of his actual age.
He usually wore a long, dark gray robe. With his long hair, narrow eyes, and high nose bridge, it was easy to see that he was not easy to get close to.
Furthermore, he handled matters swiftly and decisively. There was not a single person in the City Lord's Mansion who was not afraid of him.
On the contrary, the Deputy City Lord rarely came out to take care of things. However, when people asked for help from him, he would start to persuade Zhong Xiu to let go whenever he could.
At first glance, this Zhong Xiu seemed like a mayor, but that mayor seemed like a butler instead.
However, the matter today was truly a bit confusing.
The two guards still couldn't be sure if Housekeeper Zhong's words were true or false. Wasn't he usually the most strict person in the world? Why did he dare to let these two unknown people enter the City Lord's Mansion today?
Moreover, in this kind of situation, if it really was that spy from the Divine Flame Sacred Altar, wouldn't City Lord's Mansion be dangerous when the time comes for them to work together from the inside out? If City Lord's Mansion were to be in danger, then could Medical Immortal City still be preserved?
The two guards went over these matters in their minds once more, feeling that these two people were indeed dangerous, and that the more they thought about it, the more dangerous it became.
Seeing the two of them standing there with weird expressions, Zhou Yi couldn't help but urge them: "Little brothers, shouldn't we leave now and bring us to the City Lord's Mansion?"
He opened his mouth, and before the two guards had a chance to speak, the old man tugged on his sleeve and said: "You really want to go, ah, I see that Palace Chief isn't that easy to enter, and after you enter, with just a small guard like you, will you really be able to protect your Medical Immortal City?"
Zhou Yi cast a sidelong glance at him and mouthed back, "You're not staying here. Go!"
With that, he walked up the stairs, not caring about the old man's reaction.
The old man helplessly sighed from behind. He first looked at the street of Medical Immortal City, then turned around to look at Zhou Yi's back. Finally, the old man gritted his teeth and followed Zhou Yi up the stairs.
Since the head steward had agreed, what could the two guards do?
Seeing Zhou Yi come closer, the two of them looked at each other and one of them said, "Please follow me here!"
After saying that, he led Zhou Yi and the old man into City Lord's Mansion.
The location of the City Lord's Mansion was the grandest building in the entire Medical Immortal City.
It could be said that Medical Sword Immortal was a person who loved to do things to his face.
Zhou Yi secretly observed the surrounding scenery along the way. He was thinking about the past and his eyes were deep, so he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
However, the old man's eyes darted around, and it was unknown if he was looking for something or if it was out of curiosity.
The guard turned his head around all of a sudden, and seeing the expressions of the two, a little confusion arose in his heart. He thought to himself, these two definitely could not be some scout, otherwise, his Medical Immortal City would really be in danger.
Thinking of this, the guard intentionally warned, "Be careful, let's go from here!"
The guard's words pulled the two of them back from their thoughts. Zhou Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"
Behind him, the old man withdrew his eyes that were rolling around and put them back in their sockets.
As a result, the two of them were led by the guard at the door. They walked in a zigzag fashion for a long time before finally seeing a large door not too far away.
"This is the place!"
As he spoke, the guard stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.2
The courtyard was very spacious and seemed to be around three to five hundred meters wide. On both sides of the courtyard were side rooms, while various weapons were placed at the edge of the courtyard.
"This is the courtyard that the guards are staying in. We usually train here too, so the two of you can pick any empty beds in this room." The guard introduced the two to Zhou Yi, then suddenly shouted into the room, "Xiao Liu!"
As soon as his voice fell, someone rushed out from the east wing and answered, "Yes!"
The young lad wasn't too old, and he appeared to be around twenty years old. Dressed in the same clothes as the guards, he stood before the door with a long sword in his hand.
Seeing that someone had come out, the guard smiled and said, "The two new guards are yours!"
With that, he turned his head back and said to Zhou Yi with a smile, "You two first follow him and learn the rules. I'm still on duty, so I'll be leaving first!"
Before leaving, he did not forget to wave towards the Lil 'Six.
Seeing that Zhou Yi had left, Little Six walked over shyly. He cupped his hands towards Zhou Yi and said, "My name is Shiyu, and my family is the sixth oldest. Everyone calls me Little Six!"
"Zhou Yi!"
Zhou Yi cupped his fist in return.
The moment he said that, Zhou Yi and Shiyu's gaze fell on the old man. Due to following behind him for so long, Zhou Yi didn't know what the old man was called.
"Cough cough …" Feeling their gazes, the old man coughed dryly a few times. Seeing that Zhou Yi and Shi Yu did not intend to let him go, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Piao Soong!"
Puff!
Zhou Yi couldn't hold it in for a while, and on the other side, Shiyu had to endure the pain as well. After holding it in for a while, Shiyu opened his mouth first: "Why don't the two of you go pick a place to stay first, then I'll bring you guys around to familiarize yourself with the situation!"
Zhou Yi nodded and followed behind Shiyu. After a few steps, he realized that the old man was not following him. He turned around and said with a smile, "Piao Soong, let's go!"
Without waiting for the old man's response, he disappeared into the west wing.
After entering, Zhou Yi took a glance around and saw that there was no one in the room. Maybe it was because he noticed the doubt in Zhou Yi's eyes, but Shiyu quickly said, "Most of the people were on duty during the day!"
Zhou Yi was about to respond, but Shiyu continued, "There aren't many people left on duty. When they heard that the altar is coming, they were all scared away!"
"Since he's fled, it means that he doesn't have much courage or cultivation. It's still better to let such a person escape than to turn his back on the battle!" Zhou Yi patted Xiao Liu's shoulder.
Zhou Yi was no shorter than Zhou Yi, and it could only be said that they were on par with each other.
Then, Shiyu led the two of them around the courtyard before finally sending them into a room.
The moment his butt touched the bed, Piao Soong jumped up: "We can't stay here any longer, let's run!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Piao Soong. He sneered and ignored him.
That evening, the guards of City Lord's Mansion came to a large gathering. It turned out that the one who had brought him in at that time was this guard captain, whose name was for the rest of his life!
The rest of the soldiers were just growing up, and their gazes were easy to look at. Therefore, none of the soldiers below them were obedient when they stood there.
Zhou Yi tilted his head and took a glance. It seemed like there were only twelve people left in City Lord's Mansion. Including Piao Soong and himself, there were only fourteen people in total.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The Vice City Lord is here!" It was unknown who shouted, but the surroundings immediately quietened down …
