To Shopkeeper Liu's expectation, surprisingly many people came today.
In addition to the four major witches he invited, Wu Shan, Wu Yu, and Wu Ming, there were actually two priests from the witch academy.
The two priests wore black brocade robes, held quinoa staffs in their hands, and had a gold braid on each side of their cheeks.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was greeting the guests, hurriedly went up to greet them, "Two divine ministers are here. I apologize for the delay in greeting you from such a distance."
The priest had a straight face and nodded coldly to Shopkeeper Liu.
Wu Shan said: "Shopkeeper Liu, we are here to cheer you on. The commander of the Ghost Suppression Department is a cook. Ha, don't let us down."
Shopkeeper Liu handed over his hand and said, "Haha, don't worry, Mr. Wushan, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"That's good, that's good." Wu Shan nodded, "Wuxi is away on business, so he can't come today."
Shopkeeper Liu didn't take it seriously. The two priests were here. Even if the three great witches didn't come, he still felt that Beier had some face.
"Has the city lord's commander arrived?" Wu Yu from the side interrupted, referring to Yu Sheng.
"It's still early, maybe we're still on the road." Shopkeeper Liu turned sideways and said, "I'd like to invite everyone to have some tea. My tea leaves are collected from Yinsheng Mountains."
Yinsheng Mountains were approaching Lingshan Mountain. When the two priests heard this, their eyes lit up and their attitude towards Shopkeeper Liu became much better.
Reputable people in the city came one after another, many of whom Shopkeeper Liu had never invited.
What surprised Shopkeeper Liu even more was that the four young masters from Yangzhou he invited did not arrive. Instead, the elders of the four young masters' families came.
The leader was Chu Ci's father Chu You, followed by people from Zhou, Bu and Zhuang families, as well as Bu Xiaomei and Zhou Jiufeng.
After seeing Shopkeeper Liu, Zhou Baichuan crossed Chu You and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, congratulations."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou is joking. The competition has not yet started. Where does the joy come from?"
"The result is worth mentioning?" Zhou Baichuan raised his head after speaking, "I haven't seen Xunweizhai for a long time..."
Zhou Jiufeng took him away. Others had almost forgotten about visiting the brothel, so don't bring it up yourself.
After leaving Zhou Baichuan, shopkeeper Liu handed over to Chu You, "A mere competition has alarmed everyone. Liu is quite frightened."
Chu You said: "Hey, this is no small competition, the opponent is the commander of the Jinyi Guards."
He lowered his voice and said, "This shopkeeper Yu is the nephew of the city lord. He will be very powerful in the city in the future. Of course we have to come and support him."
Shopkeeper Liu heard something in the words, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. Was this an expression of dissatisfaction, or was it that they were here to help the other party?
As soon as these guests were seated, a servant came up to announce that the commander of the Imperial Guards had arrived.
This is a serious commander of the Imperial Guards. Of course, the one in Yu Sheng is also real, but not as powerful as this one.
Shopkeeper Liu was startled, this commander was a rare visitor.
He does not socialize or engage in relationships on weekdays. He is only loyal to the city lord and rarely shows any pretense to others.
Last time shopkeeper Liu gave the commander silver chopsticks as a gift, he did so secretly.
The visitor was a guest. As soon as Shopkeeper Liu left the Zhaixing Tower, he saw that the commander had already led several guards in royal robes onto the wooden bridge.
"Shopkeeper Liu, excuse me." The conductor spoke concisely, handed over his hands, and walked inside.
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly led him in, but before he could enter the Star Building, there was a sudden noise at the door, and the crowd entering the Star Building surged and separated into a lane.
Both the commander and shopkeeper Liu stopped and looked at the door curiously.
"Someone is coming from the City Lord's Mansion." someone said.
Then I saw a woman in palace clothes walking through the door, followed by several maids in white.
The commander went down to welcome him, and the surprised Shopkeeper Liu followed behind him.
"Miss Wang, you're here." The commander held his hand.
"The city lord's nephew is coming to Xunweizhai to compete in cooking skills, so of course I have to come and see him," Aunt Wang said.
She was sighing in her heart at the same time. This little aunt's friend was also her little aunt's trick. She didn't know when the two of them were going to expose it.
Now she doesn't really care about her lack of strength for the rest of her life. She just wants to fool around all day long. As long as the city lord is happy, everything else is just a cloud.
After exchanging pleasantries with shopkeeper Liu, Aunt Wang was welcomed in, leaving everyone present talking about it.
The previous rumor that the new commander of the Ghost Suppression Department was the nephew of the city lord was just groundless rumors, but now it seems to be true.
But how did this nephew appear? Everyone was puzzled. They had never heard that the city lord had sisters.
After Aunt Wang, who symbolized the city lord, took the first seat, the priests beside her were also curious.
For the priests who come from Lingshan and have served divine objects, they have a natural sense of superiority over the people of Yangzhou City.
This sense of superiority made them have few scruples when talking and doing things, so the priest asked directly, "Miss Wang, have you never heard that the city lord has sisters alive in the world?"
Another priest chimed in, "Let alone living to this day."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "To be more careful, in terms of seniority, Shopkeeper Yu and Lingshan Goddess Wu Wuyang are still siblings."
She turned to look at the two priests, "When you meet, you have to call me little ancestor."
Wu Yang is tied with the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and is the ancestor of Curse Zhu among the witchcraft. He is only famous for his voodoo skills and curses, so he is not among the Ten Witches of Lingshan.
The resurrection of the mythical beast Ya Yu is also due to her.
"You..." The priest's face showed an angry look, and he asked them to recognize a young boy as their ancestor, which was clearly looking for trouble.
Another priest held him down, "Miss Wang is really good at joking," he said coldly.
"I'm not joking. If you have the ability, go back and ask the witch Wu Yang." Aunt Wang was neither humble nor overbearing.
Seeing that the people in the city lord's palace were speaking in a serious manner, the two priests looked at each other and were really a little stunned.
After Yu Sheng disguised himself, he led Ye Zigao, Bai Gaoxing and Fu Nan into the Star-Zhaing Tower.
They found a seat in the corner of the lobby. After sitting down, they looked up and said, "Hey, Miss Bu." Ye Zigao recognized her at a glance.
This girl is not carrying the astonishing Qinglong Yanyue Sword today, which makes the pair of murderous weapons on her chest even more eye-catching.
I couldn't help but look at it a few times, but I thought it was still too big.
"I don't blame you, you don't understand the benefits of big things." Ye Zigao said to Yu Sheng as a person who has experienced this.
"Do you understand?" Yu Sheng asked him.
"Of course I understand. When I was in Junzi City..." Ye Zigao was about to give some advice, but then a bad picture came to mind.
He wilted, "Okay, actually it's not good if it's too big. It can easily suffocate people to death."
What the hell is this? Yu Sheng looked at the frightened Ye Zigao and felt confused.
Bai Gaoxing had a different view on this, "Would this affect the strength during battle?"
"A little bit, so it's difficult to bring peace to the world. We can only gather people's hearts." Yu Sheng said.
"Stop looking down on people." Ye Zigao stood up and took a look, "He seems to have the strength of five yuan."
Bai Gaoxing was startled, lowered his head and stopped talking. How could he have the nerve to talk about someone else's five dollars for three dollars?
"What, you're actually on par with me." Yu Sheng stood up, "She must have hung it up by herself."
"Come on, you think everyone is as shameless as you. I heard that she is also from Jin Yiwei. Just ask Fu Nan..."
Ye Zigao looked back at Fu Nan, and saw Fu Nan in casual clothes looking at Miss Bu with relish.
"Your uncle." Yu Sheng covered his face, "Don't embarrass the Ghost Suppression Department. Do you think of girls like this?"
Fu Nan came to his senses and said, "I, it's not like I'm not wearing brocade clothes."
"I would rather you wear it." Yu Sheng looked at Fu Nan's casual clothes. The gray clothes were washed white and had black and gray patches of different sizes on them.
There was also a big gash on his knee, so he had to try his best to cover it with his hands when walking.
If Yu Sheng hadn't paid for it, the servant wouldn't have let them in.
"A beggar's clothes are better than yours." Yu Sheng said, "You are too poor."
"Then you won't give me a salary increase?"
"Well, actually it is better to be poor and raise a son if you are poor and a daughter if you are rich." Yu Sheng changed his mind.
