Chapter 376: The younger brother at the door of the city lord’s mansion
The round moon is so bright.
The clouds around her looked a little shy!
Compared with the previous two days, Tiansang City tonight was indeed a bit too quiet.
In this city that never sleeps, curfews are not implemented on weekdays unless something major happens that affects the safety of the entire city.
Tonight, that's it.
The city lord's palace entertained guests from all over, and the streets of Tiansang City were packed with people!
On this night, almost the entire city's powerful men would gather in the city lord's palace. If something happened outside, it would naturally be a big deal.
Therefore, the city defense formation will be fully activated tonight!
When the blue light curtain rose from all sides, covering the entire city, and when the void closed, everyone who looked up to the sky was shocked.
"The city defense formation is out, the city lord's mansion has a night banquet..."
"Should we start?"
…
"arrive!"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked when he reached the punctuation point according to the map he visualized on the invitation letter.
Behind him, Mu Zixi also had a dull look on his face, staring straight ahead with his big eyes, swallowing saliva unconsciously.
"This, is this the City Lord's Mansion?"
What appears in front of you is a magnificent palace.
That brilliant golden wall, even though Xu Xiaoshou was several feet away and couldn't see the ends on both sides.
"How big is this?"
Not to mention the wall, the door alone is several feet high.
There are two rows of thirty-six guards standing by the gate!
The guards were dressed in silver armor, serving solemnly, and were equipped with spears and swords, creating a formidable scene.
"What the hell is this called the City Lord's Mansion? You might as well change the name and call it the Forbidden City!"
Xu Xiaoshou stopped moving forward. Compared with the "imperial palace" in front of him, he only felt that his newly purchased small manor was inferior!
It was completely crushed!
"No wonder..."
Xu Xiaoshou murmured, no wonder when he asked Fu Xing how big his house was and whether it could accommodate hundreds of people, he would have such a strange expression.
There are hundreds of people in this house. For their house, the floor space of a toilet is very small.
"Walk."
Xu Xiaoshou said calmly, pulling Mu Zixi and stepping forward.
I can't let others see that I'm a country bumpkin!
I, Xu Xiaoshou, have seen the world!
It didn't happen before, but now it does!
Mu Zixi was suddenly pulled away from the shock, her face was startled, she lowered her head and wanted to withdraw her hand.
But after a pause, he suddenly blushed and stopped his actions.
"He, he holds me?"
Thumping!
pounding...
at this time.
"Being watched, passive value, +1."
The sudden message pop-up frightened Xu Xiaoshou to a halt.
He paused in his steps, then exerted force with his hands as if on a conditioned reflex.
"ah!"
Mu Zixi immediately let out a strange cry, and his face immediately turned green.
"Xu Xiaoshou! What are you doing!"
Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly let go of his junior sister's hand and forced himself to calm down.
Someone is staring at me again?
who?
He thought of Zhang Taiying's wanted order...
"No way, that guy is still staring at me at this time?"
"Shouldn't he be taking care of himself?"
"Xin Gugu should be hanging out in front of his house at this time!"
Without thinking much, Xu Xiaoshou turned around, took his junior sister's hand and exhaled.
His eyes wandered, and his "perception" searched the surroundings carefully, but found nothing except some wealthy families who wanted to enter the city lord's palace.
"Who could it be?"
"Xu Xiaoshou!" Mu Zixi stared at his senior brother shouting randomly on his bloody hand, furious.
"Ahem, don't be afraid, I have everything under control!" Xu Xiaoshou looked a little panicked.
Mu Zixi is so angry that he is fuming, don't be afraid?
What I fear most now is your sudden tenderness!
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
"Let's go, keep moving forward!"
After laughing for a while and looking around thirteen times, Xu Xiaoshou realized that if he stayed still in the same place, he might be caught. He immediately breathed out a breath of life, pulled the little girl and left.
"Uh-huh~"
A groan.
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
…
"stop!"
The silver-armored guard raised his spear and stopped Xu Xiaoshou and the others. He stretched out his hand and said, "Invitation letter!"
"Na."
Xu Xiaoshou handed over the gilded name sticker that he had prepared. At the critical moment, there must be no trouble.
The guard turned it over and closed it.
"please."
Xu Xiaoshou pointed at the girl behind him: "We are together, can we come in?"
"Okay." The guard nodded, "Your invitation allows you to bring three people."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded and was about to walk in.
At the critical moment, that message popped up again.
"Being watched, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou's heart skipped a beat and his steps stopped.
Behind him, Mu Zixi couldn't stop the car and hit him head on.
"Ouch."
Fortunately, she suffered a huge loss and finally learned to turn on the spiritual energy protection at all times, so she was not directly knocked away.
But the little girl still covered her forehead with an angry look on her face.
"Stop again?!"
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou turned around and looked back as if he had some understanding. Sure enough, a figure rushed out of the woods.
This is a sloppy boy with a stained face, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
He wore long braids, and the hair hanging down on his scalp was as oily as rape flowers, which was simply unsightly.
As soon as he saw Xu Xiaoshou, the young man shouted and rushed towards him.
"elder brother!"
"I finally waited for you, why did you come here? They just pushed me!"
The young man's voice was filled with tears and his eyes were filled with tears.
Coupled with the mud and dirt, he looks like a weak boy bullied by a bully doorman.
The guard obviously knew him, and when he saw the young man rushing towards him, he put a spear on his chest.
"Stop!"
"I've already told you, no one is allowed in without an invitation!"
When Xu Xiaoshou heard this, he basically understood something.
This guy wants to enter the city lord's mansion, but he doesn't have a ticket, so he can only wait for kindhearted people to take him in?
From this point of view, the "being watched" message just now was also made by this guy?
However, after scanning for so long, why didn’t I seem to have seen this person?
All of this, so simple?
Xu Xiaoshou was worried and wanted to turn around and leave cautiously, but looking at the young man's aggrieved eyes, he suddenly stopped.
Want to fuck me?
I, Xu Xiaoshou, look like such a good person, will I take you in for no reason?
After hesitating for a while, as if reminiscing, Xu Xiaoshou chose to speak.
"younger brother?"
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up with tears, "Brother, it's me, do you still remember me..."
"do not remember."
"..."
The young man choked.
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
Tears were about to burst out of his eyes. He clenched his fists, shook his head and struggled: "Impossible, how could you forget me? We were..."
"But what..."
"..."
When the young man saw that Xu Xiaoshou didn't answer, his eyes were filled with disbelief, "Have you really forgotten me? You can't even remember my name?"
Xu Xiaoshou lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and then said with a sudden look on his face, "Oh, is it you?"
The young man's eyes sparkled and he became excited.
"Brother, remember, my name is..."
"You called..." Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and tried to remember.
"Well, my name is...?" There was encouragement in the young man's eyes, as if he was looking forward to his brother recognizing him.
Xu Xiaoshou thought about it, his eyes widened, and he suddenly pointed at the other party.
