"Master?" Yelan clearly saw the strange look on Long Wenmu's face.
Master and servant have lived under the same roof for three years. Even slight changes cannot escape Ye Lan's eyes, not to mention the sudden sense of oppression around Long Wenmu. Even through loose clothes, Ye Lan can feel it.
His whole body was tense.
Ever since he met his young master, this was the first time Ye Lan knew that Long Wenmu could exude such courage.
Long Wenmu was silent for a moment while holding the letter, and then he returned to his former humble appearance. The battle-like courage that had just emitted from his body disappeared at this moment, as if it had never appeared before.
"Girl, City Lord Bai actually sent me an errand this time." Long Wenmu said.
"Errand?" Ye Lan was puzzled.
The city lord of Baishuang City never interacts with Long Wenmu, so why would he send errands to Long Wenmu? Long Wenmu is used to doing whatever he wants in Baishuang City, and even the city lord has no chance of ordering him. He specifically told Long Wenmu in a letter,
I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. In fact, when the letter was delivered today, Yelan was already a little worried.
"City Lord Bai sent a letter to say that people from the Liu family in Tianqing City are passing through here. The Liu family seems to be a famous family that has some connection with the royal family."
"Royal family, Liu family?" Yelan had never heard of it before and asked in confusion, "What are they doing here?"
A remote place like Baishuang City has probably not had a visit from a dignitary for decades.
"I heard that there were monsters in the Wushan Mountains to the south. The Liu family sent people to fight against the monsters. However, someone in the team ran away when they were near the route. Now I am recruiting ten people from Baishuang City to supplement the manpower and escort the goods..." Long Wenmu sneered and used
He tapped the letter paper lightly with the back of his hand, read it line by line, and recited word for word, "The Liu family asked City Master Bai to personally select ten people and set off with the team tomorrow morning..."
Yelan was suddenly startled and frowned: "You said...conquering monsters?"
Monsters are well known throughout the Holy Spirit Continent.
Although Ye Lan has never seen monsters with his own eyes, he still knows some common sense. In today's Holy Spirit Continent, apart from the human race, the largest race is monsters.
Rumor has it that monsters are all terrible-looking, man-eating beasts. Wherever the monsters pass, they will inevitably bring disaster.
There are countless rumors about monsters on the mainland. It is said that one powerful monster is enough to destroy an army. What's more, there are rumors that monsters have all kinds of strange abilities, and powerful ones can even move mountains and reclaim seas.
The little girl grew up listening to rumors about monsters, and all the memories of the past flooded her mind.
"The Liu family is going to fight against monsters... Shouldn't you be chosen, young master?" Yelan's heart became more and more uneasy. After seeing Long Wenmu's head tap lightly, his eyes turned red.
Did you really choose your own young master? Why did the city lord suddenly send a letter, and it happened like this the moment he arrived?
Yelan has never seen a monster, but she knows better than anyone else. What a monster is, it is something that ordinary people talk about and avoid.
It is actually a crusade against monsters. If you go with the Liu family this time, who can guarantee that you will come back alive?
It is true that my young master is free and unrestrained in Baishuang City, but in the final analysis, he is just trying to show off his talents in front of ordinary people, and if he is placed in front of monsters, he may not be enough to serve as a dish.
"Why are you crying? Are you worried about me? Yatou Pianzi has already started to fall in love at a young age. Have you fallen in love with me?" Long Wenmu stretched out his hands to pinch Yelan's cheeks and forced a smiling face.
.
Yelan slapped his hand away angrily and glared fiercely: "How long has it been, Master, why are you still smiling so playfully?"
Although the girl is not experienced in the world, she has a smart mind. She naturally knows why the city lord chose the young master. Her young master usually makes everyone in Baishuang City complain and complain. The city lord asked him to go because he knew that this trip was dangerous. If he went, maybe
From now on, there will no longer be Long Wenmu in Baishuang City.
It's just his own fault, the girl thought sadly.
But then I thought about it, although my young master's daily behavior is a bit annoying, he is just taking advantage of it. No matter how much he holds a grudge, he will not be allowed to go on such a dangerous trip.
This was clearly pushing Long Wenmu into the fire pit, and it could even be said that he was deliberately trying to kill him.
"Master, do you have to go?" she asked.
Long Wenmu looked at the letter and shook his head slightly: "That old boy from the City Lord, behead him first and report later. He has already sent the selected list to the Liu family. This is forcing me to go. Besides, that old cunning City Lord Bai, since he
If I was asked to go by name, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to run."
Long Wenmu shook the letter in his hand, turned around and walked into the house. It was obviously a life-threatening matter, but there was no trace of nervousness in him.
What happened to my young master? He has already encountered this kind of thing, so why do he still look so calm and calm?
"Then young master...I...I..." Yelan trotted behind Long Wenmu, but hesitated several times.
"What am I? If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"Master, I... can I go with you?" As if she had made up her mind, the girl's pretty face turned red.
"Nonsense."
"But, young master..." Ye Lan clenched his pink fists, and endless courage burst out from his weak body, "You told me three years ago that I will follow you wherever you go, and you will never leave you behind.
Me. If you leave this time, Master, you have caused trouble in the city before. If I am alone, someone may be looking for revenge, so Master, you must take me there."
It was a ridiculous reason. Even if Long Wenmu was not here, who would take revenge on a teenage girl? But for a while, Ye Lan could not find any other reason. The only thing she knew was that she was absolutely unwilling to do so.
Separated from Long Wenmu.
Three years ago, she was hungry and cold, and was brought out from among the dead by Long Wenmu. Perhaps from that time on, there was already an irreplaceable person in her weak heart.
Seeing the girl biting her red lips and looking serious, Long Wenmu wanted to reach out and knock her on the forehead, but when he reached halfway, he thought about it and retracted it. In the end, he just reluctantly threw out two words: "It's up to you."
Yelan wanted to go with Long Wenmu but did not refuse, and the atmosphere became a bit depressing the whole day after that.
Moreover, Long Wenmu discovered that since receiving the letter, there were always people hanging around outside the Long Mansion. Rather than passing by by chance, it was more like some kind of surveillance. After dinner, the master and the servant went back to their houses and spent the night without talking.
The next day, the two of them woke up when the sky was dimly lit. There were no other people in the huge courtyard, which made it look particularly quiet.
"Master, I'm ready." Ye Lan probably didn't sleep well, and his face looked very haggard, but it was probably because he was going to hunt monsters, and he looked extra serious. He was holding a big cloth bag in his hand.
It took a lot of time to prepare things.
Long Wenmu casually packed up some salutes, then came to the hall, facing the innermost side of the hall.
On the innermost wall hangs a rigid bow of simple workmanship.
The bow body is almost at the height of the belly, and there is not much decoration. It looks like an ordinary hunting bow, but the edges and corners are polished extremely smoothly.
Long Wenmu reached out and took off the hunting bow, and put a quiver on his back. There were twenty arrows in the quiver.
"Master, this bow is..." Ye Lan whispered.
"Since we are going to hunt monsters, even if it is not our turn to take action, we must have something to defend ourselves." Long Wenmu said nonchalantly.
Ye Lan was thoughtful. It wasn't that she cared about Long Wenmu's weapons. But this bow, in her memory, seemed to be something Long Wenmu had never left before coming to Baishuang City.
Since arriving in Baishuang City, this bow has been hanging on the wall and used as an ornament.
The entire Dragon Mansion was decorated with splendor and splendor, but this bow alone was incompatible with the surrounding environment. However, after so many years, Long Wenmu never abandoned it.
I guess this bow has extraordinary significance to Long Wenmu.
After simply tidying up, the two of them went out side by side.
However, just after leaving Long Mansion, I saw a lot of people gathered on both sides of the road outside the door.
They were all people from Baishuang City. After seeing Long Wenmu coming out, many people secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"City Lord Bai?" Long Wenmu narrowed his eyes and turned towards someone among them.
Among the crowd, an elegantly dressed man over fifty slowly walked out with a smile on his face: "Haha, Master Long is here. Master Long is traveling far today to represent Baishuang City to defeat monsters. It is the glory of Baishuang City.
Bai is not very talented, so I am here to welcome you, as a farewell to Master Long."
Long Wenmu grinned noncommittally, thinking that this old bastard told lies without blushing or beating.
"The farewell is a lie. You are guarding my door so early in the morning. Are you afraid that I will run away?"
"Master Long really likes to joke. Master Long acts and sits upright, how can Bai question it?" City Master Bai's rosy face had a serious and sincere expression, and then he smiled faintly and quickly changed the subject, "Haha, Long
Since the young master is leaving on behalf of our Baishuang City, we are naturally waiting for the triumphant return of the young master Long. Although the young master is young, as the saying goes, age is not as important as ambition. When he returns from hunting monsters this time, he will definitely become famous..."
"Succeeding and becoming famous?" Long Wenmu snorted softly and cursed, "Actually, I am also an open-minded person who is generous and helpful to others. Since it is the opportunity to become successful and famous, why not give it to you, City Master Bai."
"This..." City Lord Bai trembled slightly, and his smile became a little stiff, "Long Shaomo is going to make fun of me. My old bones are really not of much use."
"Aren't you worried that I will be eaten by monsters? I won't gain fame and wealth, but will become the monster's meal?" Long Wenmu asked deliberately with a sidelong look.
Ye Lan was also glaring fiercely at the side. If City Master Bai hadn't named him, how would his young master have risked his life? She didn't have any prejudice against City Master Bai before, but when she saw him today, especially when she saw City Master Bai's pretentious smile,
A ball of anger burned faintly in my heart.
City Lord Bai's face twitched slightly in embarrassment: "Haha, Mr. Long is joking... Well, Mr. Long is going on a long journey today. I will prepare a jug of wine. Mr. Long can drink a glass of warm wine before leaving. I might as well wait.
Let’s express our feelings.”
With some polite words, he could cover up the fact that he forced Long Wenmu to hunt monsters. He never mentioned the matter of naming him, and waved to the side. A man came with a tray, a wine bottle on it, and a bottle of wine.
Only a jade cup filled with wine.
"Master Long, the dragon among men, will definitely return in triumph this time."
Long Wenmu smiled knowingly and drank the wine in the jade cup without refusing.
"The City Lord has good intentions, but I am disrespectful. When I come back, I will definitely have a drink with you. City Lord Bai, please don't turn me away." Long Wenmu put down his wine glass and laughed twice.
, stepped forward and patted the old guy's shoulder. The move seemed light, but in fact it contained a bit of hidden force, and the pat made the old guy's shoulder a little shorter.
"That's it, that's it." City Lord Bai nodded and bowed, taking half a step back without leaving any trace. He felt his shoulders were burning. He scolded Long Wenmu a hundred and eighty thousand times in his heart, wondering who would be willing to have a drink with you. Long Wenmu
Normally no one could restrain this man, so City Lord Bai naturally wished that he would die early and be reborn.
However, what made him a little confused was that with the way the young master of the Long family behaved, he did not refuse such an important thing today, and there was no sign of any resistance in his expression. This made him a little confused.
Then when he saw Yelan following Long Wenmu, City Master Bai was a little confused: "Is Miss Yelan going with us?"
"My maid will naturally follow me, why not?"
"No, no, as long as Mr. Long is willing." City Master Bai said quickly, sighing in his heart.
Everyone in Baishuang City knew that there were only two people living in the Dragon Mansion. Long Wenmu was disliked by others, but the maids who followed him were famous for their cleverness and intelligence.
This girl Yelan is quite famous in Baishuang City. She is loved by everyone and she is recognized as a little beauty in the city. Even if no one expresses it at ordinary times, there are still many people who secretly admire her in their hearts.
This time I went with Long Wenmu, not knowing what would happen, which made people feel regretful.
City Lord Bai sighed secretly. He originally planned to take this girl into his residence if Long Wenmu couldn't come back. In a few years, she would definitely be an extraordinary beauty.
This time he deliberately targeted Long Wenmu, but City Lord Bai actually had some private thoughts in his mind.
It's just a pity... Such a good girl, why did she end up with this guy Long Wenmu?
Long Wenmu squinted his eyes slightly, taking in all the subtle expressions in his eyes, slightly curled his lips, brushed back his sleeves, and strode towards the city gate with his head held high, surrounded by the crowd.
