Especially with this chuckle now, it really feels as if the bones are about to be laughed off.
But fortunately, he still remembered his identity, and Qingyu didn't bother to cast a charm on this person—perhaps in Qingyu's view, there was only one person in the world who was worthy of casting a charm on himself.
"Did you guys make a mistake?" Qingyu said leisurely, her voice a bit lazy.
"Huh?" The butler was stunned for a moment, but didn't react immediately, "What did you say?"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully when I come here and sit here quietly, waiting for your city master Shi to receive me?" Qingyu tilted her head, and even adjusted her posture. Sitting posture, so that I can sit more comfortably, "So you old dog, or the blind trash behind you, think that if you just say one word, I have to come here obediently tomorrow and continue to be at your mercy?"
After adjusting her sitting posture, Qingyu began to reveal an aura.
This is an aura that Su Anran has never seen on Qingyu before.
But he is not unfamiliar with this momentum.
Huang Zi, Yin Lingzhu, even Qing Jue, Huang Feifei and the others all had this distinctive precipitating aura.
Or in layman's terms.
This is a majesty that only belongs to the superior.
"You...you are so courageous!"
"Do you know." Qingyu stared quietly at the middle-aged man in front of her, her tone as indifferent as ever, "A dog that can bite can't bark. So seeing you like this...heh."
Qingyu didn't speak too bluntly about the latter words.
But with her contemptuous expression and her words left blank, there is a lot of room for people to imagine.
At least, this kind of attitude humiliation is more powerful than any verbal attack.
Because Su Anran had already seen that the face of the middle-aged butler turned red.
"You, you... guards! Come and arrest these few people who dare to make trouble in the city lord's mansion!"
Soon, the two guards who were standing outside the door were the first to enter.
The situation in Tianyuan Secret Realm is quite different from the ancient Chinese history that Su Anran knew.
For example, in the ancient history that Su Anran knew, it was impossible for the lord of a city to have the power to command the army. No emperor would be assured of this, so the military and government have been separated since ancient times.Therefore, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion are often not soldiers from the military mansion, but are similar to private soldiers, or guards are more appropriate.
But the situation in Tianyuan Secret Realm is obviously different.
The power of the lord of a city is far greater than Su Anran's imagination: all the military and political management of the entire city belongs to the lord of the city. It can be said that such a lord of the city can be regarded as the king of the city.It is also because of this that the position of city lord in those fertile lands will naturally let the people below fight for their heads. After all, if you can turn a rich city into your own hall, then the benefits you can get from it are simply huge. unimaginable.
Therefore, the two guards guarding the gate are actually regular soldiers of this small border city—there is no such thing as "public weapon for private use" in Tianyuan Secret Realm. After all, the recruitment of soldiers in each city in these countries is determined by the city owner pay yourself.This is also the reason why cities in rich places have more soldiers, while some small cities that are not very rich have not many soldiers.
The weapon used by these two soldiers is a long waist knife.
It's a bit similar to those fast-moving sabers in Su Anran's impression.
And following the entry of these two people, and the shout of the butler, there were faint sounds of hurried footsteps around.
Su Anran's spiritual sense went out and found that dozens of soldiers were rushing towards this side.
The city lord's mansion has a patrol establishment, and the scale of the patrol guard is not low: each team has 11 people, that is, a leader and accompanying soldiers.
However, the weapons of these patrolling guards are long halberds, not long waist knives like the guards guarding the gate.
Su Anran guessed that this should be a division of responsibilities, as well as a division of strength.
Because the strength of these two guards holding long waist knives is stronger than those holding long halberds—from the perspective of Xuanjie, the strength of these patrolling guards is generally only at the Tongqiao level, while the strength of the waist knife guards belongs to Yun. The level of the spirit realm.
You know, those players in Su Anran's current Taiyi Sect don't have the ability to pass through the realm, but now it's just a city lord's mansion in a small border town, and the ordinary guards here are all at the level of the passthrough, which in Su Anran's eyes But it is quite a surprising thing.
Soon, the small side hall was already full of people.
Watching these guards point their halberds at themselves and the others, forming a semi-circular formation, there seems to be a faint aura pulling each other, and then the aura of these soldiers in the side hall is quickly transformed into a whole, just like one person, The aura of strength has also risen to a level that is infinitely close to the realm of life, Su Anran knew that these people probably still have some kind of battle formation method.
"You dare to insult and despise City Lord Shi, even if you want to leave now, you won't be able to leave!" The middle-aged butler, after seeing all his people coming, couldn't help but become more courageous, at least his voice was as loud as It's a little bit older, "Take these people to the dungeon first, and wait for the city lord's punishment."
The soldiers were ready to move.
"I advise you to stay still." Qingyu glanced sideways at the group of soldiers.
"Are you afraid?" The middle-aged housekeeper sneered, "I might as well tell you, I only know that I am afraid now, already..."
"Noisy." Qingyu frowned, "Slap your mouth."
The hands of the middle-aged housekeeper suddenly raised up, and then began to flap wildly towards his face.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and under the horrified eyes of the middle-aged housekeeper, not only his cheeks became swollen and red quickly, even the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.
The group of guards soon erupted into a commotion.
However, the commotion was soon stopped.
All the soldiers strode forward in unison.
Accompanied by a shout, the aura on these soldiers became more abundant and fierce.
"Demon girl! What kind of tricks are you using, why don't you let the steward go!" A leader wearing a long waist knife said, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being blind."
"This is the price he paid for offending me." Qingyu said in a cold tone, "As I said just now, I advise you not to move. It’s really not easy, but if you think I’m easy to bully, then you can go one step further and try.”
The guard with the sword and long waist knife had cold sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, he already regretted that he spoke first, because now he was in trouble.
He can naturally see that the other party's people are still fearless and confident. If people like this don't have real skills, then they are obviously powerful behind them. No matter what kind of people they are, they are not them. These little people deserve to be blamed.Especially looking at the other party's indifferent eyes, this guard is more inclined to the former, so he is not joking about the other party's ability to kill them on the spot.
So right now, if he speaks rashly again, it really arouses the other party's disgust, and if they are all killed, then they have nowhere to reason, and it is even possible that death will be in vain, after all, this world has always been whoever has the biggest fist have the right to speak.
But if he doesn't speak...
He could feel the fiery eyes of the housekeeper, obviously hoping that he could save his life.
"The visitor is a guest. If Steward Qi offends anything, I will apologize for him."
Just when the opponent was riding a tiger, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded.
The tense atmosphere in the side hall suddenly dissipated.
For a moment, an inexplicable softness permeated the room.
This subtle feeling dispelled the hostility of everyone in the arena, and also dispelled the spell that Qingyu cast on the butler.
Su Anran's eyes became slightly vigilant.
This time walking down the mountain is now considered to be the real first stop, and there has been a mysterious appearance that has never been heard in the mysterious world.
This world is extraordinary!
Chapter 056 Negotiations
A middle-aged man in black clothes stepped in from the door.
The clothes on his body are very simple, with almost no decorations, even the long clothes on his body are of a solid color.
But between walking and taking steps, there is a very unique high-spirited temperament.
Confident, yet detached.
"Mr. Mo, save me!"
The middle-aged housekeeper hurriedly called out as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
But because of the swelling of his cheeks, his voice at this time seemed a little weird, and even the injury on his cheek was involved because of his agitated expression, causing the slightest pain.
"This witch, witch..."
The man looked at Qingyu with a look of extreme hatred.
But this Mr. Mo did not continue to listen to him, but stretched out a hand to stop the other party's words.
He glanced around and looked at the soldiers around him, frowning slightly, with obvious displeasure on his face: "You guys, step back first."
"Mr. Mo..." The housekeeper became a little anxious, "These people are disrespectful to the city lord!"
"Back off." Mr. Mo spoke again, but his voice was a little lower.
The two guards with long waist knives looked at each other, then nodded, and led the soldiers back out the door.It's just that these people didn't go far, and seemed to vaguely surround the side hall here - at least, Su Anran could hear the continuous sound of footsteps outside, obviously there were soldiers coming for reinforcements.
"You go down and apply the medicine too." Mr. Mo spoke again, and said slowly to the middle-aged housekeeper.
Although he was unwilling, but seeing the expression on Mr. Mo's face, the butler nodded and quickly walked out the door.
When there were no other people in the side hall, this Mr. Mo bowed to Su Anran and the others.
"Mo family?" Qingyu glanced at the other party and spoke slowly.
"I was rude." Mr. Mo nodded slowly, "I'm talking about Mo Yan, a disciple of the Mo family in Jixia Palace."
"Your 'non attack' is not bad." Qingyu nodded.
Mo Yan laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The core idea of Mohism is "non-attack".
The non-aggression here does not mean not to attack, but "not to attack the weak".
Qingyu has the tendency to crush the middle-aged butler, so it forms a "bullying" atmosphere, which also triggers the prerequisite of the Mohist "non-attack", so Qingyu's spells can be easily cracked by him - of course , This is also because this Mo Yan's own strength is also equivalent to the Soul Condensation Realm, otherwise, as long as the cultivation level is half an order weaker than Qingyu, it is impossible to disintegrate Qingyu's spell so easily.
And later, he let the soldiers guard leave, also in order to maintain the "non-aggressive" domain - bullying the few with more is also a kind of "bullying the weak".
Su Anran has already seen it.
The Jixia Palace here in the Tianyuan Secret Realm has a much more complete inheritance than that in the Xuanjie. At least, the Mohist monks in the Xuanjie Baijiayuan have not mastered this "non-offensive" method, otherwise Su Anran would not have recognized it immediately.
But what he was curious about was how Qingyu knew.
"You guys have been here for two days, but why did you come here today?" Mo Yan didn't sit in the upper seat, but sat opposite Qingyu.
Sapphire's eyes narrowed slightly, then she smiled and said, "Can you represent City Lord Shi?"
"If it's not a major event, then it's fine." Mo Yan's words were equally impeccable, "But before that, should I ask you to tell me your name?"
"Tai Yi, Su Clan Qingyu." Qingyu smiled coquettishly, her face full of complacency.
Su Anran couldn't help but glance at Qingyu.
The little butcher also sneaked a glance at Qingyu, but his eyes were full of disgust.
"Tai Yi?" Mo Yan's face showed a bit of confusion.
"Ximo Taiyi Sect." Qingyu did not hide her origin, "We are here this time because we intend to open a shop here, but it seems that we need to obtain the permission of the city lord of this place to do business in the acquisition of spiritual plants, so We've just come to ask for a permit."
"You... want to buy Ling Zhi?"
"It is rumored that North Ridge is prolific in spiritual plants, monster fur and other things. Our Taiyi Sect also has some alchemy methods. Naturally, we need to purchase materials for spiritual plants, monsters and beasts, but in this regard, the demand for spiritual plants will be greater. So our main business is the acquisition of spiritual plants and the sale of elixirs. Of course, we also need the materials of monsters and beasts." Qingyu said slowly, "But you can rest assured that we will not default on the transaction taxes that should be paid. .”
"If it's something else, I can indeed accept it, but Lingzhi's acquisition..."
"It's okay, I know you can't be the master." Qingyu smiled, "And I also know that the city master behind you is listening to our conversation, so why not let him come out to meet us... Today, I can Don't want to leave empty handed because I'm busy."
"It's really a coincidence that you came here, the city lord..."
"It's needless to say that the city lord is not here." Qingyu shook her head slightly, "I came here this time very sincerely, so I hope you can also be sincere."
Mo Yan didn't continue to speak.
But his eyes fell on Su Anran, Song Baiye, and the little butcher.
A disciple of the Mohist school is not a softie.
If there is only Qingyu alone, or if the strength of Su Anran and others are similar to Qingyu's, then what is waiting for Qingyu will naturally not be such an eloquent Moyan—the so-called "non-attack" seems to be self-defeating, but in this domain As a result, the disciples of the Mohist school have the ability to "offend the superior", which is why this is the core of the Mohist school: almost every Mohist disciple has mastered the field of "non-offensive", because this allows them to even face Opponents who are two realms higher than oneself can also remain invincible.
Therefore, in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the disciples of the Mo family in Jixia Palace have always been the most troublesome opponents of the major monks.
Even if they are not as strong as you, they can still pull you to the same level as them, and then try to defeat you with a lot of messy gadgets - don't forget, the Mohist mechanism is also the best in the world! Absolutely.
However, few people know that the Mohist's "Fei Gong" has a very fatal flaw.
Then it is necessary for the Mohist disciples who use this domain to be able to see through the opponent's realm.
In the "non-offensive field", Mohist disciples can obtain a certain degree of strength bonus, so they can see through the cultivation base of opponents who are two realms higher than themselves.
But now, he can't see through the strength of Su Anran, Song Baiye, and the little butcher.
As for Qingyu, he didn't really care.
Because Qingyu's strength is not stronger than him, he is confident in killing Qingyu in the "non-offensive field".
"This has something to do with..."
"City Master Shi, there is no need to act between you and me." Qingyu interrupted Mo Yan's words, "What your Shi family plans to do here, and how to do it, is your Shi family's business. We have only one request from the Supreme Unity Sect. , that is, we are going to open a shop here, and in the future there will be a steady stream of spiritual plant products shipped to our Taiyi Gate through this place, you are a smart person, you should know what I mean."
