The city lord's back garden, on the island in the middle of the lake.
The sun is shining brightly and the cicadas are chirping endlessly.
Yu Sheng stood in front of the stone table under the pavilion, spreading paper on the table, and kept practicing the word "wind".
The city lord sat on the stool boredly, holding a wine glass in his right hand, drinking cold Shaoxing wine, and waving his fingers with his right hand.
The flying sword on the lake moved around with her fingers, sometimes piercing the sky, sometimes sliding across the water, making ripples in circles.
"Siyou City is located in the southern wilderness, and Yangzhou City is in the eastern wilderness. The well water in the two cities does not interfere with the river water. Why are those Siyous causing trouble in Yangzhou City?" The city lord was puzzled.
"Don't think so much, the murder has been committed anyway, the only thing we have to do is to kill him." Yu Sheng said, and wrote "风" again.
He threw the paper into the air, and the paper fell lightly to the ground without any abnormality.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Yu Sheng spread out a piece of paper and continued writing.
The city lord continued to play with the flying sword, "Since I got you, Yangzhou has been in trouble one after another. Could it be that your mother gave birth to a broom star?"
"Congratulations, you married a bad guy." Yu Sheng raised his head and smiled at her despite his busy schedule.
The city lord rolled his eyes, raised the wine jar and poured a glass of wine. He looked at the bucket of the ice wine jar and said, "There is no ice."
Yu Sheng waved his hand, and the water immediately surged up from the lake, frozen into ice cubes in the air, and then divided into pieces, falling steadily into the ice bucket.
After doing all this, Yu Sheng took back his hand without raising his head. He was already familiar with it.
The ice was still free of impurities. The city lord put a piece of it into the wine glass, shook it and took a sip.
It's cold, refreshing, and has an endless aftertaste of wine.
On an unbearably hot afternoon when the sky was full and the sun was shining, after drinking such a glass of cold wine, the city owner felt that all the warmth had left her.
She rolled her bright and lively eyes, leaned on the table and asked Yu Sheng enthusiastically, "How about we go out and sell ice? We can definitely make a lot of money."
"You are a city lord after all. Why do you think about making money all day long? Can you pursue something?" Yu Sheng put down his pen and flicked her forehead.
"Nothing big or small." The city lord was lazy and didn't want to get up to take revenge on him, so he could only kill him with his eyes.
"What's this? I spend a lot of time in bed, both old and young." After Yu Sheng said this, he threw the newly written word "wind" in the air.
The paper still fell lightly to the ground.
The city lord smiled and rolled his eyes, "I have been writing for a long time and there is not a breath of wind. Can you do it?"
"It's not like you don't know whether I can do it or not." Yu Sheng was not discouraged, spread out the paper and continued to write.
But the city lord wouldn't let him go. Seeing that he kept talking obscenely, she finally overcame her laziness and stood up, ready to teach her little nephew a lesson.
Just at this moment, someone came up the trestle.
In order to maintain the dignity of the city lord, the aunt continued to stab Yu Sheng with her eyes while sitting upright on the stool.
Aunt Wang hurriedly walked into the pavilion and saluted, "Miss, the royal guards encountered a mummy on the south bank of the lake a day's walk away."
"How much?" The city lord frowned and asked anxiously.
"There are quite a few, they are staggering towards the north in bits and pieces." Aunt Wang said.
"Let everyone withdraw," Yu Sheng said without raising his head. "These mummies only have their heads as their vital points. They are very difficult to deal with. Don't sacrifice them in vain and become an accomplice of the enemy."
"Tomorrow, I will go to the back of the mummy team to inquire. I want to see who is behind the scenes." Yu Sheng finished writing another one.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. Facing a steady stream of mummies, only by finding the person behind it can we resolve this crisis.
The city lord added, "Notify all the martial arts masters in the city, the Monster Catching Department and the Ghost Catching Department, we have to organize all the manpower and prepare to defend the city."
"You can also recruit in the city and tell the people fleeing from the Southern Wilderness that if the city of Yangzhou is destroyed, there will be no place for them in the world." Yu Sheng said.
"yes."
Aunt Wang wrote it all down, "But what about the Siyou named Ku in the city? The Jin Yiwei haven't found him yet."
She hesitated: "Should we issue an order from the city lord to arrest the whole process?"
Yu Sheng shook his head. What happened to the Taoist priest made him wary, "This guy is very dangerous. Don't sacrifice people's lives in vain."
After thinking about it, I couldn't find a way to deal with him for the rest of my life, so I could only say: "Don't worry about him for now, wait until he comes out on his own."
Aunt Wang nodded and was about to leave when the city lord reminded her, "What is that piece of paper in your hand that is full of things written on it?"
"Oh, by the way," Aunt Wang handed the paper in her hand to the city lord, "This is a so-called morning newspaper that was widely circulated in the city this morning."
"Chao Bao?" The city lord took it doubtfully.
I saw the headline on the front page above: The Alliance Leader loves the City Lord! A talented man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match. Is it your turn to be opposed by monsters like you?
Looking down, the newspaper mentioned Yu Sheng's public confession to the city lord yesterday. After praising Yu Sheng and the city lord's talent and appearance, the author lightly brushed over the seniority relationship between the two, pointed out that the two were not related by blood, and finally listed all the objections.
All the people were beaten into monsters, thinking that this was a conspiracy between monsters and the witch academy.
"Open your eyes and tell lies." The city lord commented, "It's sheer nonsense."
Aunt Wang smiled, "You also think it's a bit outrageous for him to blame all the objections on monsters."
"No, I mean", she turned around and pointed at Yu Sheng, "how can he be so talented and handsome with this look?"
"You don't have the talent to write such a good calligraphy?" Yu Sheng threw away the word "风" in his hand, but there was still no movement.
He continued to write, "As for appearance, it's just a piece of shit. Don't be too superficial. You have to learn to appreciate my soul."
The aunt ignored his narcissism and continued to read the morning newspaper. She saw that Zhou Jiufeng was following the prostitute and putting the informant in danger.
In it, the court newspaper severely criticized Jin Yiwei, listed many unsolved cases in the city, and pointed out Jin Yiwei's incompetence and laziness.
"I thought this man was just flattering, but I didn't expect that he would dare to criticize Jin Yiwei," the city lord said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the back and saw that this man had used all the flattering words when he was writing about the rest of his life last night when he was tracking the thief and fighting the pig god.
"Eh~", the city lord threw it to Yu Sheng in disgust, "You are so proud of me that you are so proud of me."
"It's normal, because it's your man you're praising, so you feel embarrassed." Yu Sheng opened the newspaper under the murderous gaze of the city lord, glanced at it, and looked thoughtful.
"This man is quite talented, find him out," Yu Sheng said.
"Why, I've praised you so much that you can feel it after meeting me in person?" the city lord teased.
"Am I that shallow? Dragon farts are not that easy to photograph. I just thought of a good way to make money." Yu Sheng said, "I just need such a talent."
"You're going to use him to sell ice!" The city owner blinked with thoughtful eyes.
"No", Yu Sheng shook her head, making the city owner look disappointed. She really felt that Bing could make money.
The two of them were left here to flirt and flirt. Just as Aunt Wang was about to leave, she saw a maid coming over and whispered a few words to her.
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up and she hurriedly turned back, "The Taoist priest who played the rat trick said that he found the hiding place of Si You named Ku."
"It just came out of nowhere?" Yu Sheng smiled and with a stroke of his pen, the character "风" came into being.
He put down the brush and said, "Don't let him act rashly. This time I will go and meet this Si You in person."
After saying that, he threw the paper into the sky, and before it fell, there was a "swish" sound, and a flying sword passed by in the distance and nailed the paper to the pillar.
"Hey, you..." Yu Sheng looked back at the city lord and saw her raising her head proudly and leading the people to the trestle first.
Yu Sheng put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and followed. As soon as he reached the trestle, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound behind him.
Everyone turned around and hurriedly covered their eyes.
I saw a gust of wind blowing from the pavilion, sweeping away the tiles on the eaves of the pavilion, breaking small trees, bending old trees, withered branches, fallen leaves, and dust floating in the sky, making it difficult to open your eyes.
However, the wind calms down just as quickly as it comes.
"This..." Looking at the empty pavilion and the mess on the island, Yu Sheng said, "At least it shows that my calligraphy has improved a lot."
"For the rest of my life! My aunt will kill you!"
"Hey, be gentle. Don't mess up your seniority. Be careful about how my little uncle treats your family."
