Early the next morning, Gu Yao was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Still drunk, he yawned and lazily got up and opened the door.
"Hey, stinky gangster, outside..." Dongfang Lu suddenly turned red before finishing her words and slammed the door shut: "Exhibitionist, put on your clothes before you come out!"
Dongfang Lu gave Gu Yao a lot of nicknames, including rogue, scoundrel and pervert, but I hadn't heard the word exhibitionist for a long time. Gu Yao was shocked. After lowering his head, he understood why Dongfang Lu reacted so violently.
He only wore a pair of shorts. Due to the morning lift, he held up a big tent, which was quite indecent.
After putting on her coat and pants, she opened the door again. Dongfang Lu's pretty face was still blushing. Gu Yao laughed awkwardly and said, "Hey, I'm sorry, it's just a normal reaction of a man."
Dongfang Lu glared at him fiercely and said, "I still have so much energy when I go looking for flowers and willows every night!"
Gu Yao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Go, go, go, what are you looking for? I just want to do business!"
Dongfang Lu said coldly and sarcastically: "Master Inspector, what business needs to be done at the brothel? Of course, in the eyes of perverts, that is considered business!"
"Ah, well, by the way, why are you looking for me so early?" Gu Yao quickly changed the subject.
Dongfang Lu said: "Someone is looking for you. It is said that he is some kind of censor!"
Gu Yao suddenly woke up. During his meeting with the stranger last night, he extended an invitation to himself on behalf of Taylor, hoping to have breakfast with him at the Yushi Mansion. He happily agreed at that time.
"Ah, tell him to wait a moment, I'll be there soon!"
Gu Yao quickly dressed up. xjunxzixtangxfirstx hairx already had a beast cart waiting at the door.
The residence was not too far from the Censor's Mansion, and the beast's cart was well-trained and fast. After more than ten minutes, it drove to the gate of the Censor's Mansion.
Many guards lined up on both sides of the door to greet him, and among them, an old man standing at the front was particularly eye-catching.
He was wearing a black robe, exuding a sinister aura, and was extremely skinny. To say he was skinny was a compliment. From a distance, his face looked like a skeleton, with deeply sunken eye sockets, all white, and fleshless lips.
The nose is just two holes for breathing, and the length of the palm exposed from the long sleeve of the robe is similar to a bird's claw.
This guy who looks like a living skeleton is Taylor, the censor of Silvermoon City. He is a figure who can rival the city's guardian Wei Gang.
The reason why he is so skinny is because Taylor is a member of the Witch Clan.
The witches among the demons are naturally good at witchcraft. While God gave them strong spiritual power, it also deprived them of their physical bodies. I wonder if this can be considered a curse. The witches generally only have one left.
The skeleton looks similar to everyone and is easy to identify.
In order to show his sincerity, Taylor went out to greet him personally. When he saw the beast carriage arriving, he stepped forward and said: "Hahaha. The Inspector is really young and promising!"
He smiled heartily. But this kind of hearty laughter coming from the mouth of a skeleton always made Gu Yao shudder. His hair almost stood on end. What's more terrible is that Taylor even came to show his enthusiasm.
After receiving a hug, Gu Yao clearly realized that the body under his robe was not much better than his face and hands, and the cold and hard bones in his body even stung him faintly.
"No, Master Yushi is joking." Gu Yao responded with a smile, and then the two of them walked into the mansion side by side.
From the moment he met Taylor, Gu Yao regretted why he agreed to have breakfast with him, and the facts proved that his worries were not unnecessary.
The breakfast was very rich. As a censor, the treatment was not bad. The table was full of fruits, cheese, juice, bread and wheat rolls, and there were even two bottles of fine wine that were more than twenty years old.
The problem is that Tyler doesn't care about most food, but he has a special liking for the plate of bones on the table. When he opens his teeth, puts the bones into his mouth, and bites them crunchily.
, Gu Yao completely lost his appetite and just wanted this breakfast to end as quickly as possible.
It's a bit funny to think about the scene of a skeleton gnawing on bones. It is said that bones are the witch tribe's favorite food, just like the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol. Maybe their skeleton-like bodies need bone as nutrition.
"Master Yao Gu, isn't breakfast good enough?" Taylor noticed that Gu Yao had put down his knife and fork early and asked with a puzzled expression. For today's breakfast, he personally asked the chef of Yushi Mansion for advice and prepared a lot of food.
Something humans might like.
"No, very good, I am very satisfied, and sincerely thank Mr. Taylor for the hospitality." Gu Yao said insincerely, but in his heart, he thought that the breakfast was right, but the person eating together was wrong. If it were a beautiful woman,
, if it were not a sub-skeleton, then he might sweep everything away.
"Then, Mr. Yao Gu only eats so much, but he is not as good as a skeleton like me!" Taylor is somewhat self-aware, but his jokes are a bit cold, and Gu Yao doesn't think they are very humorous.
"It's like this. I went drinking with my brothers from the department last night, and now I'm still feeling a little bloated."
"Oh, is that so?" Taylor seemed to have remembered something and said with concern: "By the way, I heard from others that something unpleasant happened to Mr. Yao Gu last night."
Gu Yao smiled and said: "It is true that a few flies disturbed the wine, but it's no problem and has been dealt with."
Taylor nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."
Gu Yao said: "Mr. Taylor, I wonder what you want to do when you invite me to your house today?"
Taylor smiled heartily: "It's nothing. It's just that Mr. Yao Gu has taken office as a new official. I have been busy with my affairs recently and have not been able to congratulate you. I am deeply sorry." Gu Yao smiled and said: "No, Mr. Taylor has many things to do, and time is precious.
I know this very well."
The Witch Clan is also a highly intelligent race. Their language is quite similar to that of humans, and they have a strong sense of civil service. The conversation between the two people would definitely be very uncomfortable for other Demon Clan ears.
Taylor gnawed another large piece of bone, then put down the cutlery in his hand and said: "There are always some lawless guys who rely on the kindness of some people to cause trouble in Silver Moon City and disturb the people. Lord Yao Gu wants to
It is a great good thing to maintain the order and teach them a lesson. If something like this happens again in the future, please just rest assured, Mr. Yao Gu, I will definitely support it."
This old fox, after wandering around for a long time, finally got to the topic. In fact, Taylor was hinting that as long as he met someone from Wei Gang, no matter how bold he was, he would naturally have his support behind him.
Gu Yao has long investigated Taylor's information. This wizard is an extremely insidious and cunning guy. He likes to sow discord and seize any possible opportunity to attack his old enemy Wei Gang.
In the demon world, civilian officials are not as valued as military officers. Taylor can compete with Wei Gang and has his own methods.
A stupid person, used as a tool by him, would die without even knowing it.
Gu Yao is not an idiot. He knows Taylor's purpose, but he pretends to be confused. Taylor is using him, and he is also using Taylor. Anyway, this inspector was picked up, and he can leave at any time after finding Han Dan and Duan Muqing. Anyway,
No need to wipe his ass. The reason why he was so public that day was to attract Taylor's attention. If Taylor saw the conflict between him and Weigang, then according to his character, he would definitely recruit him, and then he could rely on his identity to find a way to enter the Demon Palace.
opportunity.
Even going to whoring every day was deliberately arranged by Gu Yao, because some people from the city guard department went to Wanhua Tower all day long when they had nothing to do. Coupled with the influence of alcohol, it was only a matter of time before the two sides started to have disputes.
Gu Yao was right, Taylor was always paying attention to matters in Silvermoon City, especially everything related to Weigan.
After hearing about the conflict between Gu Yao and Weigang last night, I concluded that he was a brainless human being. If he was a little smarter, he would not offend Weigang. It would be a waste if such a fool did not take advantage of him.
, so Taylor took the initiative to show his kindness uncharacteristically.
It would be best for him to rely on the protection of the Baroness to oppose Weigan more, so that Taylor would be happy to watch from the other side.
Gu Yao also sensed a weak power fluctuation at this time. If you observe carefully, you will find that Taylor's dead fish eyes with only the whites flashed twice. This phenomenon is not caused by reflection. Gu Yao's master Philip is a wizard
, so he also has some knowledge of the profession.
What Taylor performed just now should be a kind of witchcraft. Its function is psychological suggestion, making the person who receives the suggestion unconsciously stand on a certain side and hate a certain person or force to achieve the purpose of the magician.
Since both parties got what they needed, they talked happily and looked very harmonious on the surface. Taylor even gave Gu Yao a piece of beautiful jade to supplement the gift to celebrate Gu Yao's appointment as the envoy.
The first step has been achieved. As for the next step, it is to enter the Magic Palace through Taylor.
