Chapter 287 Let’s Talk

In the City Lord's Mansion of Liangcheng, Xu Jinglu walked like the wind to the garden behind the City Lord's Mansion and found the City Lord Gu Wanggui.

"Boss Gu, something bad has happened. I saw someone from Yangzhou!" Xu Jinglu said in a panic.

He and Gu Wanggui were originally from Miancheng, Jingzhou, and Gu Wanggui was the City Lord of Miancheng.

A few years ago, Xu Jinglu went to Ancheng, Jingzhou for a meeting. The meeting was naturally meaningful and fruitful, which made him see clearly that Jingzhou was like a pile of loose sand.

What was more meaningful was that he went to Jiangling, Jingzhou, and saw that the City Lord of Jiangling, who was captured alive by the people of Yangzhou, was publicly tried.

It really made him sweat, so he ran back to Miancheng overnight and informed the City Lord of Miancheng, Gu Wanggui.

Gu Wanggui, who loved fishing, heard carefully about Xu Jinglu's meeting this time, so he packed up and went to Liangzhou.

Their Mianyang City was originally close to Liangzhou, and no one knew how Gu Wanggui suddenly became the city lord of Liangcheng.

This operation made Xu Jinglu astonished.

He then realized that Gu Wanggui, the old fox, had been operating in Liangcheng for many years.

Who said that a real warrior can only manage one city?

Those who are capable and skilled can naturally manage more cities.

Gu Wanggui was half lying on a stone chair, holding a fishing rod in his hand and wearing a straw hat covering his face. I don’t know if he was fishing or taking a nap.

He heard Xu Jinglu’s shaking words and said, "Hey, I just fell asleep and you woke me up again."

"I saw people from Yangzhou! They are going to attack our Liangzhou! Run quickly!" Xu Jinglu said.

"Run, where else can you run to?" Gu Wanggui took off the straw hat covering his face, sat up and said, "Why didn't they come two years later!"

"Two years later, the city lord would have a way to defend against the enemy?" Xu Jinglu said.

"No, I would have died two years later, so I wouldn't have to worry about it." Gu Wanggui shook his head and said.

"..."

You old bastard is quite long-lived!

Xu Jinglu naturally knew what Gu Wanggui meant. He had always known that Gu Wanggui was not young, but he didn't expect him to be so old.

In Mianyang City, Gu Wanggui had no family members. In Liangcheng, everyone called him grandpa and ancestor, and no one knew how old he was.

"When the people from Yangzhou come, we will all be put on trial!" Xu Jinglu said, "I don't want to be trapped there and be beheaded."

"I know you are very anxious, don't worry, tell me who is coming from Yangzhou." Gu Wanggui said.

"I saw a master wearing Yangzhou clothes on the road, eating mutton noodles." Xu Jinglu said.

Gu Wanggui looked at Xu Jinglu and said, "Then what?"

"Then I came back." Xu Jinglu said.

"..."

Gu Wanggui was speechless. What is the meaning of seeing enemies everywhere? You are like this!

He said, "So you came back just because you saw someone eating noodles!"

"I can't tell the cultivation level of that person, but he must be a master!" Xu Jinglu said seriously.

After a few years, he still has Zhoutian cultivation.

He can't tell the cultivation level of a person, either that person has no cultivation level, or that person is a warrior above the level of a real person.

Considering that Liangzhou is not very friendly to people from Yangzhou and Jingzhou, there will definitely be no weak chickens coming to Liangcheng, so the other party is at least a real warrior.

Can a real warrior come to Liangcheng, is that a good thing?

Gu Wanggui obviously thought of this, and he said, "What if he just comes to eat a bowl of noodles?"

"Could he just come to eat a bowl of noodles?" Xu Jinglu asked back.

"Then he should not just pass by to eat noodles." Gu Wanggui said, "However, since he eats noodles, he must have a meal! Since he is eating, I might as well treat him!"

"Then, you go and invite him to the banquet and say I want to treat him to a meal." Gu Wanggui looked at Xu Jinglu and said.

"Attending the banquet?" Xu Jinglu pointed at himself with his index finger and said, "Me?"

"Yes! Could it be me? Or my unpromising descendants?" Gu Wangui said.

"..."

Xu Jinglu used his brain and couldn't think of an excuse to refuse. He said, "Boss Gu, I'm still single. I haven't saved enough money to marry a wife. I won't be beaten to death by the people in Yangzhou, right?"

"You like my great-granddaughter, just tell me. I'll arrange for you to get married right away!" Gu Wangui said, lying on the stone chair again.

"This is not good. We don't have a relationship foundation." Xu Jinglu declined.

Marrying the daughter of an old bastard means working for the old bastard for the rest of your life.

"Heh... I haven't seen you go to a brothel to talk about any emotional foundation." Gu Wangui turned his back to him and continued to sneer, saying, "Go ahead. I've studied the people in Yangzhou. They won't kill people for no reason."

"But they killed a lot of people!" Xu Jinglu said. He was frightened by the scene in Jiangling that year. In recent years, he often dreamed of that person, the scene of the head flying off.

A real warrior was publicly tried and executed!

How shocking!

"They are all publicly tried for murder, and rarely kill in private. You go, it's okay!" Gu Wanggui still said with his back to him: "Just tonight."

"Then I... really go?" Xu Jinglu remembered it after hearing what Gu Wanggui said. Killing in Yangzhou is very methodical, unlike in the martial arts world, it is all based on personal preference.

"Go! It's noon now. It's a bit late to invite people to dinner in the evening." Gu Wanggui urged.

So Xu Jinglu left the City Lord's Mansion of Liangcheng again and walked towards the mutton noodle stall.

At this time, he was thinking that the man from Yangzhou should leave Liangcheng as soon as possible, so that he could not find him and the mission would be completed.

It was not against the old bastard's order, but there was an explanation.

It was not that I did not do it, but that others had long legs and would run by themselves!

Unfortunately, as soon as he came to the mutton noodle stall, he saw Shi Feizhe sending away several bamboo craftsmen.

Alas, my luck is really bad!

Gritting his teeth, Xu Jinglu bowed to Shi Feizhe from a distance and said, "Brother, please stay!"

"Oh?" Shi Feizhe looked at Xu Jinglu and said, "You are..."

"I am Xu Jinglu. Our city lord wants to invite you to a banquet!" Xu Jinglu couldn't help but tell the truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

He still wanted to say a few words.

Wouldn't this be too direct.

"Why invite me to a banquet?" Shi Feizhe looked at him and continued to ask.

"Probably to explore the purpose of your coming to Liangcheng, and see if we can talk by the way." Xu Jinglu originally wanted to say, fate or some other messy excuse.

In the end, he told the truth again.

This is so wrong!

How could he know that he was at the Zhoutian level now, and he had to reach the Zhenren level to resist Shi Feizhe's "Eye of Truth".

"What to talk about?"

Xu Jinglu told the truth again: "I don't know, but I guess it should be to talk about whether Yangzhou can spare us."

We can also talk!
