The two people in the pavilion immediately stood up and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the soldiers who came to report the news stunned.
…
"You girl are finally back. I thought you had forgotten about the old man!"
As soon as the two of them stepped outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, they heard a burst of hearty laughter.
No need to think about it, it's the old man.
Di Jian and Ningyu looked at each other, entered the main hall, and saw the Lord of the City sitting above him who had disappeared for more than a month.
"Here we are." Ling Xuewei asked with a smile when she saw the two of them, and Di Jian sat down on the edge, "Your boss finally knows that you are back? I thought you were too happy to be out there!"
How could she not hear this full of resentment?
"What are you talking about, you brat? You don't give me a good look when you come back, so don't be an eyesore and go out!" Mr. Que waved his hand with a look of disgust.
"Old man, don't worry about it so much. He is so happy that the city lord is back!" Ningyu Shiran said on the side.
"Who is happy? Which of your eyes saw that I was happy?" Di Jian immediately became furious and took a leisurely sip of tea, "I don't know who is nagging in my ears every day until I feel sick..."
Di Jian immediately blushed.
Ling Xuewei laughed sullenly, these two people really couldn't talk normally without bickering every day.
"Yuzi, let's see what I bring you when I come back."
Yuzi was the nickname they gave Di Jian, and he would only call her in private. Because of this nickname, he had a lot of trouble with them.
"Didn't you say don't call me Yuzi? It sounds so unpleasant? What did you bring back for me?" Di Jian's face was reluctant, but her eyes were looking this way.
There was a flash in the sky, and a laser rocket robe covered in silver light appeared on the table.
"Wow!!"
Immediately Di Jian jumped three feet high and rushed towards him like a hungry wolf after seeing meat, "What is this? Your newly refined weapon?"
"Well, take a look." Ling Xuewei smiled.
Di Jian excitedly touched here and there and looked around, like a child who sees a new toy, her heart rushes towards it without remembering that she was angry.
As expected, the city lord has the best solution.
Ning Yu secretly laughed, "What kind of weapon has the city lord developed again?"
"This is a laser rocket launcher, suitable for long-range attacks. The attack range is four hundred meters. It has five muzzles that can be fired continuously. Compared with laser guns, it does not need to consume energy, as long as the ammunition is sufficient."
Ling Xuewei then explained how to use it to several people, "This is the sight, this is the barrel, and here is the ammunition hole..."
After a few minutes, even the old man couldn't help but marvel.
"Where did you, a girl, discover so many strange ideas and come up with such powerful things?"
Ling Xuewei chuckled and said, "Of course grandpa taught me well."
"Haha, you girl, you are always good at making my old man happy!" Mr. Que laughed.
Di Jian was holding the rocket launcher and wouldn't let go, no matter what Ning Yu said. Ning Yu wanted to beat him up, but this guy was thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Ning Yu was afraid that it would hurt him, but Di Jian didn't feel any pain at all.
Itchy.
After everyone had sat down and had burned incense, Ningyu had time to report to her on the situation in the city.
It was learned that Xiong Cang and others had already made arrangements, and now the City Lord's Guard Army has been officially established, with Xiong Cang serving as the captain of the guard. There are currently only fifty people, all of whom are elites selected from various armies.
After more than a month of running-in, it has now stabilized.
Originally, Di Jian was very dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of Xiong Cang. Those around the city lord must be the elite of the elite. Those who came out of the independent army have all achieved military exploits! Why did this Xiong Cang sit on him as soon as he came?
He assumed the position of captain of the city lord's escort team.
He was not the only one who thought this way. Di Jian loved the army as much as his son, so how could he let his soldiers suffer, and those people also relied on their genuine background to cause trouble for Xiong Cang.
But this man remained silent and used both soft and hard tactics to subdue a group of people.
Later, in a competition, he became famous in the independent army as a thunder awakener, which convinced everyone.
Nowadays, Di Jian and him get along as well as they did when they grew up wearing a pair of trousers, and they are so good. Sometimes when Ning Yu meets him, he can't help but sigh that things in the world are indeed impermanent (we share the same odor).
Just as he was talking, the Xiong Cang people came.
"Young Master!"
Xiong Cang came over with a dusty look on his face, unable to conceal his excitement.
He is more heroic and energetic than before. It can be seen that he is adapting well here.
"Here you go, I was thinking of asking you to come over. Are you still used to being in the city?"
"Thanks to the young master."
The title of Young Master was given to her by Xiong Cang and his group. Ling Xuewei said it several times but it still remained the same, so she could only give it up.
"How is the waiter? Is he in good health?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"Thanks to the potion that the young master left behind before leaving, the waiter's condition is much more stable now."
Xiong Cang is really grateful for this. It is his blessing to find such a master to work for. At least for the past month, the waiter has been very stable and has not gotten sick again.
"I'll go check on him later and take his pulse." Ling Xuewei said with a smile.
Xiong Cang's eyes lit up, and then he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Young Master, I've been tired all the way, but I can do it another day..."
"Hey, I can't stand your pretentiousness. I think Xiao Weiwei should just stay away and take a break." Di Jian couldn't help teasing him.
Sure enough, the male's rough face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt, and he said naively, "Hey, I..."
"Okay, stop teasing people." Ling Xuewei said in a funny tone, "I'll go over there later. By the way, Ningyu, have you made arrangements with the person who came back with me?"
"Don't worry, City Lord, we have already placed him in the back room."
Ling Xuewei nodded, and Di Jian asked doubtfully, "Who is that person?"
"A friend."
Ling Xuewei didn't explain much, and few people asked any more questions.
"And this, I got it by chance." He took out a green bead from the space, which was obtained by destroying the giant tree in the secret realm. "I studied this bead, it should be something similar to a spiritual beast.
Grandpa, please take a look at the inner alchemy stuff."
Que Lao took it and his expression brightened for a moment, "Okay, good stuff! This spiritual bead has at least seven thousand years of cultivation. It is a good thing for prolonging life, curing diseases and saving lives! Use it to make elixirs, and you will get twice the result with half the effort!"
Girl, where did you find this? It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
"I met a giant tree that could cast illusions in a secret realm before..." Ling Xuewei then told everything that happened that time.
After hearing this, Mr. Que twirled his beard and said, "Sure enough, this spiritual pearl can be encountered but not obtained. You can use it to make a Nirvana Pill."
"Nirvana Pill? Is it the legendary magic pill that can bring people back to life?" Di Jian was surprised.
