After resting for half an hour, the guards of the city lord's palace still showed no intention of getting up.
Shopkeeper Liao had gone to Meng Yuanhai many times, hoping to get the guards to finish their rest as soon as possible and go up to the mountain to suppress the bandits, but failed without exception.
Meng Yuanhai didn't even bother to find an excuse, he directly announced that he couldn't see outsiders because of something, and shut out shopkeeper Liao.
Several times in a row, shopkeeper Liao was so angry that he almost died.
In the end, Shopkeeper Liao had no choice but to ask Lu Xiaoyue to go and ask the City Lord's Mansion to leave early.
At first, Lu Xiaoyue didn't plan to go at all, because she already knew Meng Yuanhai's plan to delay. Anyway, Sister Yunchu had already made arrangements on the mountain, and she was not afraid of Meng Yuanhai deliberately delaying.
Even if he stayed at the foot of the mountain for ten days and a half, those bandits would still be there when he finally went up the mountain!
Of course, it is hard to say whether they will survive after being trapped by Sister Yunchu for so long.
When Shopkeeper Liao came to see Lu Xiaoyue for the first time, she looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liao, since everyone needs to rest, let them rest enough so that they will not be unable to work hard after going up the mountain..."
"Isn't that enough?" Shopkeeper Liao said angrily: "It usually only takes half an hour to walk here from the city, but after walking for two hours, I won't feel tired at all! Now that I have rested for so long, if I still
If not, these guards will be useless!"
"Haha... Shopkeeper Liao, don't worry, we are all the audience anyway, just watch!" Lu Xiaoyue continued to say perfunctorily with a smile.
Twice in a row, shopkeeper Liao also heard what Lu Xiaoyue meant, stamped his feet and went back angrily.
Less than ten minutes later, he hurried over again and continued to persuade: "Mr. Lu, this matter cannot be delayed any longer! Those robbers must have known that we are coming. If we delay it any longer, they will all run away!"
"So what if they run away? This is the scope of Huayin City. Even if they run away from this mountain, can they still escape from the palm of Lord Meng?" Lu Xiaoyue said with a slight hint.
"But...if they run away, it won't just be the people of Huayin City who suffer!" Shopkeeper Liao was extremely anxious and quickly expressed his worries.
Indeed, once these bandits escape, they will definitely run around around Huayin City, which will not only harm the people, but also cause great panic.
At that time, not only the people will suffer, but even the industries in Huayin City will suffer heavy losses!
"Shopkeeper Liao, isn't City Lord Meng the one who should be most anxious about this matter? He's not in a hurry, so why should you?" Lu Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Jian Zhen also found it interesting. Shopkeeper Liao's behavior was obviously: the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
There are bandits in Huayin City and the property has suffered losses. The one who should be worried the most is the city lord Meng Yuanhai. After all, this is the foundation of their Meng family.
However, now Meng Yuanhai is not in a hurry at all and keeps trying to delay time. On the contrary, it has nothing to do with it. Shopkeeper Liao, who is just an audience, is very anxious.
Why is this?
Jian Zhen closed his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that there must be something fishy in this, so he whispered a few words to Lu Xiaoyue.
At this moment, shopkeeper Liao saw that he could not persuade Lu Xiaoyue, so he stamped his feet again and left in a hurry.
"Mu Guan, why do you think Shopkeeper Liao is anxious?" Lu Xiaoyue asked curiously.
"I don't know yet...but I guess there is some interest. As the saying goes: Don't get up early if you don't have any profit! If this matter had no interest at all with Bai Xiaolou or Shopkeeper Liao, I'm afraid he wouldn't say much at all.
One word?" Jianzhen said calmly.
Being able to be the shopkeeper of Baixiaolou branch, shopkeeper Liao is obviously not a person who is dazzled by a sense of justice.
Going up the mountain to suppress bandits, in addition to gaining a sense of justice, must have other value to him.
It's just that Jian Zhen didn't think of it for a while.
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Lu Xiaoyue nodded in agreement.
With her knowledge and experience, Lu Xiaoyue has a deeper understanding of the saying "don't get up early if there is no profit".
As for wooden sticks, although they are a bit philistine, they are indeed very reasonable.
They chatted for a while, but unexpectedly, a few minutes later, shopkeeper Liao came again.
"Master Lu, we can't delay any longer at this time! If the guards of the City Lord's Mansion don't leave, we at Baixiao Tower will have to take action on our own!" He said righteously.
"What?" Lu Xiaoyue was startled and asked quickly: "Aren't there only three people in your Baixiao Tower? Even if you act on your own, can you still deal with the many bandits on the mountain?"
"Why not?" Shopkeeper Liao laughed and said confidently: "The guys in Baixiaolou are all the best players. Usually, one person can kill five without any problem! There are dozens of robbers in the mountains, they are all rabble, as long as we rush
If you go up there, you will definitely be able to deal with them easily!"
"Uh..." Lu Xiaoyue couldn't tell for a while whether the other party was bragging or whether he was really that powerful.
However, this seems to have crossed the line a bit, right?
It is the duty of the city lord's palace guards to exterminate bandits. If the gangsters from Baixiao Tower robbed them, what would they do?
With this question in mind, Lu Xiaoyue asked Shopkeeper Liao, but got an angry answer.
"The City Lord's Mansion has been waiting for so long without leaving. Even a fool can see that he is planning to delay time. So what if we rob him?" Shopkeeper Liao was very confident when he said this. He didn't want to be like that before.
Lu Xiaoyue suddenly felt a little strange. What gave Shopkeeper Liao such courage?
"Liang Jingru?" Jian Zhen thought with a smile.
"Maybe it's the Immortal Sect..." Lu Xiaoyue suddenly thought of this and whispered to Jian Zhen.
Behind Baixiao Tower is the Immortal Sect. If the Immortal Sect says something, Baixiao Tower can only do it.
But is this incident enough to attract the attention of the Immortal Sect?
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot that there is Sister Qingyue and the others. Could it be that Sister Qingyue and the others revealed their identities and asked Shopkeeper Liao to urge them?" Lu Xiaoyue suddenly thought.
"Shopkeeper Liao, please tell me honestly, did someone ask you to rush me?" Lu Xiaoyue originally wanted to call Xianmen by his name, but after thinking about it, he still said it more tactfully.
Otherwise, it would be bad if you guess wrong.
Shopkeeper Liao smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right! The two heroines from the Shadowless Sword Sect asked me to ask you for help... They also want to go to the mountain to suppress the bandits as soon as possible."
"Okay, go and ask them to come over, let's discuss it and take action immediately!"
Lu Xiaoyue felt relieved when she heard Shopkeeper Liao mention the female heroes of the Shadowless Sword Sect.
Although Li Xuanqing and Li Qingyue use the identity of the Shadowless Sword Sect, they are still very noble in Huayin City, and their words must have enough weight.
Calling them together will force Meng Yuanhai to believe that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion will not move!
