Dark clouds were billowing in the sky, and they seemed to be threatening to overwhelm the city.
Fu Wusheng, Zilan and Han Cheng stood at the gate of the Lord's Mansion of Bajian City, looking up at the sky with solemn expressions.
Zilan looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky and said in a deep voice: "It seems that a storm is about to come!"
Fu Wusheng nodded and said nothing, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In the square outside the Lord's Mansion of Ba Sword City, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived early this morning.
The deputy city lord of Xiaoyue City, Mo Xiangyu, the deputy city lord of Panlong City, Long Tianhao, the deputy city lord of Wuling City, Ji Rong, the deputy city lord of Feilong City, Shen Yi, and the deputy city lord of Yongan City, Zhang Wenxing, represented the city lords of each major city.
I came here to visit Xiao Nan, the lord of Bajian City, and have preliminary discussions on free trade between the six cities.
The city lords of the major cities recently took advantage of the opportunity of the six-city autumn hunt to get together, and then came up with an idea to reach an agreement on business exchanges between the cities.
That is, major cities will implement free trade in the future, reduce or even exempt taxes on goods from other cities, achieve fair trade competition, and encourage the development of business exchanges.
However, Fu Wusheng, Zilan and Han Cheng all knew very well that this was just an excuse on their face. Everyone knew that the arrival of these five people actually had another purpose.
Soon, Fu Wusheng, Zilan and Han Cheng invited everyone to sit down in the city lord's mansion, and a maid served hot tea.
Everyone took a sip of tea and started talking.
Zhang Wenxing looked at Fu Wusheng and the others and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I got together with you all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have to stay in Bajian City for a few more days. I just can't.
Do you know if everyone in Bajian City welcomes you?"
Fu Wusheng and Zilan looked indifferent and did not speak to each other.
Han Cheng laughed and said enthusiastically: "It's rare for you to come to Bajian City once. If you don't go back after having enough fun, wouldn't it make us lose face! Bajian City naturally welcomes you all.
To, I must stay a few more days! Haha!”
Shen Yi also laughed and said: "Then I would like to thank everyone in Bajian City in advance. We are respectful and might as well obey your orders!"
Others also laughed together, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
At this moment, Zhang Wenxing suddenly said: "Elder Fu, the two deputy city lords Zi and Han, we are entrusted by the city lords of the major cities to come together. We want to visit the city lord Xiao and have preliminary discussions with him about the six-city trade."
Regarding the matter of free travel, I have to trouble you three to make appropriate arrangements for us."
Fu Wusheng and the others thought, here comes the topic.
Han Cheng laughed and said: "Of course there is no problem with this. Please rest assured, you can spend some time in Bajian City with peace of mind. When Lord Xiao comes out of training, we will immediately arrange for him to discuss with you in person. We will never
It’s a delay in important matters!”
Zhang Wenxing's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly and said: "Okay, then I would like to thank you three first, and we can wait for a while with peace of mind."
Han Cheng smiled and said: "That's right. From tomorrow on, I will personally accompany you to visit various scenic spots in Bajian City. I will definitely let you have a good time."
Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Immediately, Fu Wusheng and the others held a grand banquet in the city lord's palace, inviting all the elders and celebrities from Bajian City to attend, and gave Zhang Wenxing and other five people enough face.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and Han Cheng personally arranged accommodation for Zhang Wenxing and the other five people. It can be said that the hospitality was attentive and impeccable.
In Zilan's study, Fu Wusheng and Han Cheng were both there.
Han Cheng said in a deep voice: "The arrival of these five people is just the first step. If City Lord Xiao cannot show up in time, Bajian City may be in big trouble later!"
Zi Lan also frowned and said: "City Lord Xiao has been missing for almost a month, and now there are rumors everywhere!"
Fu Wusheng said calmly: "You two, please keep your hearts in your stomach. City Lord Xiao is so powerful that we cannot imagine. How could he be killed inexplicably?"
Zilan looked at Fu Wusheng and stopped talking.
Fu Wusheng immediately knew what he was thinking and nodded gently.
Han Cheng looked at the two of them as if they were playing some kind of riddle. He looked at the two of them doubtfully and said, "What kind of riddle are you playing? It makes me feel uncomfortable. Is there something I don't know?"
Can you tell me something?"
Zilan suddenly smiled and said, "The sage said: Don't say it, don't say it."
Fu Wusheng said calmly: "As long as we know that City Lord Xiao will not be killed so easily, we don't know when he will appear. We just keep saying that he is practicing in seclusion. When it is time, he will appear.
It will definitely appear.”
Seeing that Fu Wusheng and Zilan didn't say anything, Han Cheng could only nod helplessly.
All three of them knew that Zhang Wenxing and the other five people came to Bajian City this time. Their real purpose was to know whether the rumor that had been circulating in major cities recently was true or false!
That rumor has become more and more outrageous now. It is said that Xiao Nan, the new city lord of Bajian City, has been killed outside Bajian City!
No one knows how this rumor spread. Although it has not been confirmed, many people have actually begun to believe it in their hearts.
Because, Xiao Nan has been missing for nearly a month, and no one has seen him again!
When asked by others, Fu Wusheng and others always said that Xiao Nan was practicing in seclusion.
But no one knows how long Xiao Nan will be in seclusion.
However, what others are more willing to believe are the rumors from outside.
After all, everyone has indeed not seen Xiao Nan appear for a long time.
Therefore, the visit of Zhang Wenxing and five others also attracted the attention of many people.
However, the day after the five of them arrived in Bajian City, they did nothing. Accompanied by Han Cheng, they spent the whole day sightseeing, eating, drinking and having fun.
Moreover, looking at Han Cheng's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness for the five of them, it is estimated that they will stay with them for ten days and a half, which will not be a problem at all!
Many people who paid attention to this matter also began to wonder and doubt in their hearts.
Water cloud abyss.
In the territory of the fish people.
A bright moon hangs in the sky.
Hua Luoxue was wearing dark green clothes, still dressed as a man. She was lying on the roof of the palace of the fish people, looking up at the sky, holding a pot of wine in her hand, and suddenly took a sip.
The melodious sound of the piano sounded, melodious like spring water in the mountains, gurgling in the heart and filling the intestines.
Next to Hua Luoxue, Zi Mo sat cross-legged, with a guqin in front of her. Her jade hands were frivolous, and her delicate jade fingers were playing softly on the strings.
Along with the sound of the piano, Hua Luoxue sang softly:
Who is drinking alone under the moonlight when one is lying drunk in the clouds that flow thousands of feet away?
Who else can watch the full moon with me and drink a cup of glass moonlight with me?
Who can laugh through the floating life and extinguish the fireworks on the tower?
Looking back, it was all a dream.
Under the eaves not far away, Xiao Nan stood in a dark corner and heard the words sung by Hua Luoxue. Looking at Zi Mo sitting under the moonlight playing the piano, he couldn't help but think of that night on the hillside in the backyard of the Zi family mansion.
, Zi Mo’s tearful eyes.
I seemed to hear her question in my ears: "What about me?"
Xiao Nan listened for a long time, sighed secretly in his heart, and left quietly.
