Chapter 145
No matter what attention Yan Juntao was paying attention, he and Tingwan still chose to separate in the mission hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
One goes to hand in the mission, and the other goes to visit the lord of the border town.
The lord's mansion in the border city is as big as the palace that Yan Juntao saw in Zou Tu. It may even be larger than Zou Tu's palace. It is divided into the inner palace and the outer palace, and has extremely complex functional areas. The outer palace has a mission hall, and anyone can enter and exit; the entry conditions for the inner palace are much stricter, and this building complex built along the mountain looks like it is not welcome to disturb people.
In short, the overall style of the city lord's mansion is particularly obvious incompatible with the entire desolate desert.
But the city lord's family is the king of a country in the border city. The emperor of one day is built. Their city lord's mansion can be built as much as he wants. Although the border city lord's mansion is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven, it is basically a matter of obedience to the tune but not the announcement, and the throne-level officials who hold troops to the fullest will be interpreted.
The strangest thing is that all the previous border city lords are like this. The successive emperors also see it, but they have never interfered and have not even complained.
As for why...who knows?
Yan Juntao only knew that he had the greatest sincerity and went to the post to visit the city lord of the border city, but received the response from the city lord in seclusion. I can't say if this is an excuse, because the city lord generously gave Yan Juntao everything he wanted, allowing him to check the population records of entering the border city over the years, and have great freedom.
No matter whether the other party is really in seclusion, he still doesn't want to see Yan Juntao. As long as he has this token of "doing cheaply", Yan Juntao is enough. He is very grateful to the city lord he has never met.
The person who came to send the token to Yan Juntao was the most capable confidant around the city lord. During the city lord's retreat, the deputy city lord was taking care of the big and small things in the entire border city, so that it could continue to operate as before. Those who did not take a rest for twelve hours a day can be said to be really sacrificing their cultivation to devote themselves to this city.
The city lord also gave equal trust to the deputy city lord. His rights will never be given to his Taoist couple or children, but will only be shared with the deputy city lord.
But it is unlikely to say that there is any ambiguity between these two immortals.
Because this is already a tradition in the border city, this is also a strange thing about the border city - every city lord always has a confidant around him. This confidant is neither his Taoist companion nor his child, but he holds the power of life and death against the entire border city when the city lord is in seclusion.
The city lord will only announce who his child is when his life is approaching, and that this child will succeed him after his death. Every generation will repeat this cycle and carry out mysticism to the end. The city lord and his family of border cities have always been in such a high-profile and low-key conflict. Except for the deputy city lord, no immortal knows how many people live in this huge city lord's mansion.
The ability to work as a deputy city lord personally came to give Yan Juntao tokens, which itself shows the city lord's importance to Yan Juntao.
"I hope Your Highness can have a pleasant experience in the border town." The deputy city lord looked not old last year, elegant and handsome. This does not mean that he is young, but at least it means that he is still very young when he reaches a certain level of cultivation, and his strength is definitely stronger than what he shows.
"Are you so polite to all the Your Majesty and Your Highness who come here?" Yan Juntao said.
The places where Yan Juntao lives now are arranged by the lord of the border city. They are thoughtful, comfortable and low-key, which is especially in line with Yan Juntao and his party’s requirements in the border city.
"I don't know this subordinate." Every time the deputy city lord encounters a topic he doesn't want to discuss, he will say that he doesn't know. This is not such a clever way of lying, because the other party just wants to express a position he doesn't want to say. Even if he gives all his rejection, he can be said to be very good at dancing.
"Thank you, we will finish the matter as soon as possible and leave." Since they are so polite, Yan Juntao naturally doesn't want to be a villain, causing too much trouble. "Whether this matter is successful or not, I will send a big gift in the future to express my respect."
"I will thank Your Highness for your generosity first for your city lord. He will definitely be very happy."
Overall, this was a meeting with politeness and guests and guests. Everyone got what they wanted, and there was no need for a vain such as drinking and eating. After the deputy city lord finished speaking, he left with his always graceful demeanor.
Yan Juntao smiled and watched the other party leave, then turned around and asked Rong Xi: "Do you think..."
"Maybe the city lord is your brother too? Yes, I doubt it too." Rong Xisui almost saw a strong man who was particularly polite and inexplicable to Yan Juntao, and felt that the other party might be Yan Juntao's brother. There was no reason. They had encountered such a routine too many times, and Rong Xisui suspected that the other party was his rival in love.
"Forget it, no matter whether it is, you don't have to think about it." Yan Juntao shook his head and ended the topic. Whether it is true or not, it will not affect what Yan Juntao has to do next, nor will it affect his gratitude to the other party. Since the other party did not say it, Yan Juntao naturally wouldn't say it either. In fact, the space for both parties to advance and retreat makes Yan Juntao feel more comfortable. There are too many brothers. He actually doesn't want to have any more brothers.
At the same time, Tingwan also met the best-looking person in the world as Yan Juntao's "prophecy" in a restaurant called "Drunk and Dreaming" in the border town. It was not because the other party was really good-looking, nor because the other party's personality was gentle, or how smart and brave the other party was, it was just because the other party saved him.
Yes, it's just so cliché, beauty saves heroes.
This is what Ting never told Yan Juntao in his life. In his past, there was not so much smooth sailing, full of energy, and more dark history than Yan Juntao thought.
At this time, although Tingwan received money for the first time to hunt, he had to save his life by taking advantage of his own level, but because he did not understand the principle of "not revealing money", a group of gangs of gangs were targeted early. When Tingwan entered the city, they were already waiting for an opportunity. In their previous life, Tingwan had not even had time to hand in the mission, so they were robbed.
In this life, these people were afraid of Yan Juntao and Rong Xisui, and were not sure whether to take action against Tingwan, so they waited until Tingwan to hand over the mission, and exchanged for the immortal stones and elixirs. When Tingwan came out, they had become one person again, and Yan Juntao and Rong Xisui were not by his side. This group of evil men were determined to do something and run early to run tomorrow, and immediately followed Tingwan who came out of the mission hall, and still robbed Tingwan like fate.
The clever Tingwan also discovered it as he did in his previous life; he took advantage of the chaos to run to the kitchen of a restaurant.
This restaurant is like being drunk and dreaming.
The boss's wife saved Tingwan's life and helped him cover him and sent away the villain. Tingwan was poisoned at that time, and was so damn ill that he had hallucinations, but he just felt that the boss's wife was so beautiful that he couldn't breathe.
"I like you." The relief from Tingwan's treatment also has a certain hallucination effect, similar to fighting poison with poison. So, in fact, he thought he had never had the courage to confess in his previous life, and he had already said it when he first met the boss's wife. However, he forgot after he finished speaking, and at the same time he also forgot the boss's wife's answer.
"Thank you for your love, but I already have a lover."
With just such a gentle sentence, Meimeng woke up. The boss's wife did not give Tingwan any chance. She refused very decisively. She hated the connection.
After waking up, Tingwan's poison was relieved and he forgot those confused sleeping words, but he still deeply rooted his love for the boss's wife and... I don't know why he just dared to confess. He actually knew that the confession would not get a satisfactory answer. If it weren't for this, then the cheerful Tingwan wouldn't have been bothering in his previous life, and he didn't confess to the boss's wife after eating the scattered beast meat.
Because this love was destined to have no future from the beginning.
But he still loves her.
Subconsciously, he knew that this kind of love would cause great trouble to the other person, so he decided to hide his emotions until he no longer loves the other person. Even if he may not stop this kind of love in his life.
Sometimes love at first sight is so inexplicable, and... difficult to remove.
Tingwan didn't rush to leave after waking up, and was recuperating, because in fact, he had already added some money in the mission hall and asked the escort team in the mission hall to help him send the immortal stones and elixirs back to the old man who was still in other days. The biggest pain in his previous life was actually not the boss's wife, but that he didn't have time to exchange for elixirs to save the old man.
Although Tingwan, who had been in his previous life, still got up and went to hunt while he was sick, in exchange for a second-class pill that could relieve the pain of the old man in the house, he still went there after not being able to hold on for a few years.
This time, Yan Juntao was unintentionally planting willows, but instead helped the old man get the right medicine.
Tingwan didn't have to go hunting again while sick. Instead, he put down a big brick in his heart and enjoyed the soft pillow of the high bed and the gentle care of the boss's wife, and lived a life like a god.
His life has actually taken a sharp turn here, even though neither the parties involved nor the helpers have realized this.
When Tingwan's illness was almost cured, Yan Juntao had been in the entrance and exit record hall of the border town for a while. He was dizzy and finally found a few more suspicious candidates. After entering the border town, they all inquired about the whereabouts of the giant Park's father.
There are two little princesses from the Western Heavenly Emperors; there are the previous Linjun whose dragon clan has disappeared; and... Xiao Jianren.
"Why are he everywhere?" Yan Juntao couldn't help but raise his hand and click Xiao Jianren's name on the bamboo slips. "He came to the border town when he just ascended, which made me even more suspicious of the relationship between me and the city lord."
The city lord is the new city lord who has just taken office for a while, and the other party is really likely to be another brother of Yan Juntao.
"I think the Dragon Clan's line is more likely." Even though Rong Xi was unwilling to admit it, he had to say that Yan Juntao's life was obviously particularly favored by Dadao. Dadao obviously hoped Yan Juntao to do something for it, and was desperately paving the way for Yan Juntao.
As the Linjun campaign that has been mentioned countless times by Yan Juntao, it is impossible for him to remain silent all the time.
"There should be no water bag in Linjun's election." Yan Juntao frowned, at least in his memory.
