He stared blankly at the city lords who bowed to him and saluted him. It was difficult for him to adapt to the change of status for the rest of his life, and his whole mind was in a mess.
In all his past and present lives, the highest official position he had ever held was that of monitor. He only served for three days before he was dismissed because he was falsely accused of bullying a female classmate.
Faced with these city lords who slashed at the Western Mountains with their swords and trampled on mortals like ants, I really didn’t know what to do for the rest of my life.
He subconsciously turned his attention to Aunt Qing, wanting to seek some help, but he saw Aunt Qing lowering her head slightly and respectfully bowing her hands to him.
Yu Sheng suddenly woke up and thought to himself: "Hey, I am the leader of the alliance, and she is the leader of the city. If she is under my control, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want from now on?"
When I thought of doing whatever I wanted, I was still terrified for the rest of my life, and my eyes immediately became bright, and a smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.
Aunt Qing looked up and immediately knew what Yu Sheng was thinking, so she kicked him quietly, causing Yu Sheng to wake up quickly.
"Ahem." Yu Sheng looked at everyone, "Um, um, I won't say any more nonsense. City Lords, follow me. Well, I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy the food and drink and make money."
Aunt Qing wanted to kick him in the butt, and she blamed herself for not letting him practice in the first place. Now it was the crisis in the Eastern Wasteland, so why did she say such useless things.
Yu Sheng also felt Aunt Qing's dissatisfaction and hurriedly said: "Everyone, sit down first. Let's fill our stomachs first."
Seeing that Yu Sheng was quite uncomfortable, Jiu Jianxian smiled and asked everyone to sit down first.
Yu Sheng saw that his aunt didn't have a stool, so he hurriedly moved one to the side for her to sit next to him, then clapped his hands and asked his servants to serve the food.
Ye Zigao outside heard this and waved to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time. The rich meal immediately prepared was brought to the table.
After the wizard sat down, he said unwillingly: "Leader Yu, eating is a small matter but gluttony is a big deal. Do you think you can come up with an idea while all the city lords are here?"
When Yu Sheng, who was pouring wine for Aunt Qing, heard that this was a bit embarrassing for him, he said thoughtfully: "Well, in the face of Taotie, let's..."
"Just ask the king to roast it." The Fourth Young Master said, King Donghuang has a criminal record in this regard, and the last glutton he offended King Donghuang was eaten.
"This is a good idea." All the city lords responded one after another. They had never tasted gluttonous meat in their lives.
"Uh", Yu Sheng said, he hasn't seen this cheap lady yet, how can he invite her here.
However, Yu Sheng was a good deceiver. He waved his hand and said, "I'm just a glutton, so I can't afford to invite the king who has so many things to do."
The city lords sitting at the table in front looked at him. King Donghuang was busy with everything. He was probably spending all his energy on causing trouble.
A few years ago, there was a rumor that after the King of Donghuang failed to sell the purple, gold and red gourds of the Queen Mother of the West, he went to Kunlun Qiu to borrow the Queen Mother of the West’s real gourds.
I thought I would open it and study it carefully, but later there was no news. Maybe the Queen Mother of the West escaped.
Yu Sheng didn't know, and thought that the city lords saw that he was following the instructions for action, so he continued to lie: "Well, when facing Taotie, we should outsmart him."
"How to outwit him?" Yan Ting, the lord of the movie city, asked.
Yu Sheng glanced at Yan Ting, wasn't this city lord one of his own?
For the boy who was just an innkeeper, asking him how to deal with Taotie was really difficult for him.
After being watched by the city lords, Yu Sheng held his breath for a long time and said: "Well, we have the strength in numbers, so we can beat him in a group."
Yan Ting almost ducked, but the Fourth Young Master clapped his hands and said, "The alliance leader has a great idea. We can gather the power of a hundred city lords to deal with Taotie."
The wizard wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Aunt Qing, "Okay, we will discuss this matter later. Let's get together today, let's eat and drink first."
The city lords agreed and raised their glasses to toast Yu Sheng.
After drinking and drinking, Yu Sheng quickly became drunk.
When the banquet was over, Aunt Qing returned to the city lord's mansion with Yu Sheng, who was so drunk.
Zhou Dafu and Zhou Jiufeng and others who were following him rushed to nothing, and could only express their feelings to each other at Ye Zigao and others.
"I thought your shopkeeper was unusual at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so extraordinary." Zhou Jiuzhang sighed with emotion.
"Young Master of Xianshan, tusk tusk." Zhuang Zisheng shook his head, "No, although your shopkeeper has left, we have to celebrate."
"Why are we celebrating alone?" Bai Xingxing was confused.
"You are stupid. One person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. We are so good to the commander on weekdays, but from now on..."
As Fu Nan was speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Dafu, "Who do you think is the chicken and who is the dog?"
"Uh", Fu Nan glanced around and saw that everyone had bad expressions on his face, so he hurriedly ran back, but it was too late, and he was held down and beaten by everyone.
But later, they still had a good meal at Zhaixinglou.
…
At sunset, the sky is filled with sunset, especially in the east, where clusters of red-edged clouds are like tall buildings, gradually advancing towards the west.
The town was immersed in the tranquility of dusk, and occasionally birds flew out of the bamboo forest and flew towards the lake.
The people sat in front of the inn, basking in the sun, chatting, and worrying about the future.
Guaizai and Hu's mother were sitting on the threshold in front of the inn, busy with their sewing, whispering and laughing at each other from time to time.
The buffalo was guarding the bridge, and the three-legged bird named Yu stood next to the mountain god, directing the mountain god who built the archway, "More to the left, oh, yes, more to the left."
The mountain god stopped and looked at the three-legged bird in confusion, "Is it left enough? I just measured it and it shouldn't be so far to the left."
"If I ask you to go further to the left, just go further to the left, why can't I lie to you?" The three-legged bird's four eyes were hanging, looking angry.
"Okay, okay." The mountain god believed in the three-legged bird and moved the beam on the archway to the left. After the three-legged bird agreed, he knocked on the wedge and fixed it.
The mountain god got off the support and was about to walk away to see the results when he heard the three-legged bird measuring the crossbar, "Well, I really lied to you about those few words I just said."
The mountain god looked back and saw that the crossbar had strayed to his grandma's house. When he turned back to beat the three-legged bird, the three-legged bird had already flapped its wings and ascended to the sky.
"Yu, Yu", it laughed at the mountain god on its head from time to time.
Ignoring the bitch in the sky, Cao'er looked at the two people clinging to each other on the threshold, "You see, they are like a family and a wife. We have completed the task of the shopkeeper, right?"
Liu Liu corrected her from the side, "It's like glue."
"Really?" Cao'er corrected him humbly, but if he had the rest of his life, he would definitely be able to find a dirty reason for this mistake.
"Zhizhi", Qiuqiu in his arms suddenly called to the east. The two of them raised their heads and saw Zhenzi walking from the east end of the street.
Cao'er stood up and looked behind Zhenzi, "Why did you come back alone?"
It takes at least half a day by ordinary carriage to get from Yangzhou to the town. Although she is a ghost and cannot encounter monsters on foot after turning invisible, this is too determined.
Wei Zai put down what he was doing and hurried forward to greet him.
"Water, water, some water first." Zhenzi didn't bother to explain. She was very thirsty now and felt that her lips were about to become dry.
Wei Zai hurriedly asked Cao'er to fetch water, but Zhenzi didn't forget to remind him later, "I want well water."
When she was drinking "gudong, gudong", Guaizai asked worriedly: "Did something happen in the city and asked you to come back to report it?"
"Yeah," Zhenzi nodded, reluctantly put down the gourd and let Cao'er take another scoop, "something big happened."
When talking about this important event, Zhenzi's expression was in high spirits and his eyes were shiny, and he couldn't tell that he was tired just now.
Cao'er didn't leave either. She stood there and looked at Zhenzi. She said mysteriously: "Something big has happened in the city. The son of King Donghuang has appeared."
