Start with planting a tree

At the gate of the state capital, a healthy young man rushed out of the gate angrily.He has a graceful face and luxurious clothes, but he is stained with plaster in an inappropriate way.

This son's name is Wang Xiao, and he is the son of the old city lord. After the death of the old city lord, he will take over the position of the city lord.The State of Qi is a decentralized regime, and the authority of the lord of a city is even greater than that of the king of the country, so it is not wrong to say that he is the local emperor of Dingzhou.

Wang Xiao succeeded the city lord, and he had the power to cover the sky, but the earth emperor met the real emperor.

Since the war in the west, several families of military generals have taken over the power in the court, and the hateful Shangguan family has stationed here in the name of the granary of Dingzhou State, and monopolized the power.

He was more aggrieved than wronged to be the city lord!

Today, Wang Xiao came to the prefecture to discuss with the retainers of the Shangguan family, and before he could say a few words, he was pushed out by people.

Wang Xiao kept his hands behind his back all the way, and the old slave beside him kept patting the dust on his body carefully: "Young Master, how can you yell at Lord Shangguan? If you accidentally annoy him..."

Wang Xiao was already in a bad mood. At this moment, his own people were still finding fault with him, so he became even more impatient. He waved the old slave away and scolded: "What kind of thing is he? It's just a dog from the Shangguan family! Now the dog is relying on people's power, and even You dare to bully me! Why can't I scold you!"

The old slave got up tremblingly, and tried to persuade him: "Young master, now that you are under the eaves, you have to bow your head!"

Wang Xiao had long been tired of his nagging, and cut off the noose of the horse in annoyance, and swiftly threw his robe on the horse.

Seeing this, the old slave hurried forward to stop him, only to hear Wang Xiao drop a sentence.

"You're right, what did my father get?!"

After all, the horse's hoof stomped, and one person rode away, and the old slave only had time to touch a little bit of the horse's tail.

"Ugh!"

Wang Xiao was not angry, and rode his horse for a long drive on the widest avenue in the city. He ignored the pedestrians and stalls he met on the road, and trampled on it recklessly with his horse's hooves.

After running a long street, there is always a little relief, but there are still worries.

Wang Xiao suddenly thought of the girls sent to the mansion by his subordinates the day before. Although most of them were mediocre in appearance, there were also one or two who were not satisfactory.

Thinking in this way, Wang Xiao suddenly felt angry in his stomach, and casually whipped his horsewhip towards the city lord's mansion.

In the alley near the city lord's mansion, there was suddenly the sound of fierce fighting.

Wang Xiao rode his horse and passed by, just in time to see a group of his own men standing at the entrance of the alley, each cautiously holding their weapons and looking inside.

Wang Xiao approached them and asked, "What are you doing?"

None of the subordinates turned their heads back and said: "A pair of siblings in the alley, the elder sister is beautiful, we are about to capture her and give it to the city lord."

Wang Xiao frowned, thinking of the so-called "overwhelming" beauties sent by his subordinates before, his disgust leaked from the corners of his lips.

Even so, Wang Xiao still rode his horse and glanced into the alley.

This glance made him lose his mind.

Who was the person in the alley? She was completely white, with a curtain on her head, and the gauze curtain was opened in hiding, revealing her reddish eye sockets and pink lips.

Especially the fragile state that the woman showed unintentionally made people feel nervous.

When Wang Xiao met her, he knew what it meant to be a real fairy descending to earth. The women he had seen before were all vulgar fans.

He was so excited that he didn't dare to look at it, and subconsciously backed away to hide.

Only then did the subordinates recognize him: "Cheng..."

"Shut up!" Wang Xiao reprimanded subconsciously. Almost instantly, he came up with a brilliant idea. He suppressed his voice and blamed: "Aren't you going to arrest people? Why don't you move?"

Those subordinates woke up like a dream, gritted their teeth and rushed into the alley.

Once again, Meng Heyin "just happened" to escape the arrest of the officers and soldiers, turned around in a panic and hid behind Huainian, and whispered, "The fish is hooked."

Huai Nian nodded inconspicuously, and when several people swung their knives at the same time, they seemed to lose their strength. Fortunately, these subordinates didn't really want to take their lives, so they all stopped their movements , and turned to catch Meng Heyin.

Meng Heyin was terrified, and broken words popped out of his mouth: "Please, please, you, us... nothing, nothing..."

Although her tone was mixed with fear and crying, the sweetness was not greatly reduced because of this, and the broken sense of despair made people want to ravage her a bit more.

Several of his subordinates smiled and were about to stretch out their hands to clamp Meng Heyin's arm.Huai Nian was suppressed by others and could only curse in despair.

At this moment, a healthy figure flew from outside the alley, knocked the crowd into the air, and landed in front of Meng Heyin with a gentle smile.

On the surface, Meng Heyin was still in shock, looking at Wang Xiao with admiration.In her heart, she complained to Bai Zhuzi secretly: "Why did he come so slowly, my mother's face is almost frozen from crying."

There seemed to be a lot of pink bubbles blowing in the air, but there were always a few ignorant subordinates who looked at Wang Xiao who was blowing him up and asked questions in doubt.

"you are not……"

Afraid that the matter would be exposed, Wang Xiao interrupted angrily: "Don't make excuses for the shameless little thief! You are guilty of robbing a woman from a good family in broad daylight! If there are no female relatives here, I will definitely kill you and surrender to the government quickly. , don’t let me see you again!”

He finished speaking in one breath, successfully confused his subordinates, a group of people saluted Wang Xiao, and really went to the county government in a daze.

After his subordinates left, Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Meng Heyin, and said softly, "Don't worry, girl, I've repelled the thieves."

Meng Heyin saluted like a frightened little rabbit, and then glanced shyly at Wang Xiao.

Of course, Wang Xiao caught this little move, and he was very proud of himself: "My son saved her life, and my demeanor is unmatched. How could she not have a secret promise to me? Sure enough, there is no master in this world who can't catch me." the fish that arrived."

When Huainian came from Wang Xiao, he didn't say a word, his eyes were as big as a bull's eye. At this time, he slowly approached Wang Xiao, holding the handle of the knife quietly with one hand.

Meng Heyin suddenly took Huainian's hand, and said with concern: "A Sheng, are you alright?"

Huainian stared at Meng Heyin in puzzlement, she shook her head slightly, but calmly opened Huainian's hand holding the handle of the knife.

Huainian took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay."

Wang Xiao didn't care about the undercurrent between the two. In his opinion, it was normal for such a beautiful sister to be angry as a younger brother who was almost murdered.

Therefore, Wang Xiao asked very gracefully: "You don't look like a local, I don't know where the girl lives, so I can send the girl back?"

Meng Heyin said: "I am the Meng family in Beiqingcheng. This trip went to the capital to seek medical treatment, passing through Dingzhou, and I am currently staying at the Tongfu Inn."

Wang Xiao squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "So that's the case, the girl doesn't know, since the war, the people in Dingzhou City are chaotic, and it is really dangerous for the girl and the young master to live in the inn."

"Ah?" Meng Heyin asked suspiciously, "Yes, yes, I said why women often cry and cry, it must be really unsafe. What should I do?"

Just as Wang Xiao was about to interrupt, he heard Meng Heyin continue to say, "It's too dangerous, Ah Sheng, let's leave the city!"

After speaking, she seemed to be choked and coughed several times, which made people feel distressed.

The panic and eagerness in Meng Heyin's tone did not seem to be fake, so Wang Xiao became anxious. The purpose of his saying these things was not to let her go.

So Wang Xiao said: "The girl is not in good health, I'm afraid this trip will hurt her health, if the girl doesn't dislike it, why not... come to my residence for a while."

Meng Heyin was stunned for a moment, and his cheeks gradually turned red: "My son and I are neither related nor related, so it's not right to be in the same house."

Wang Xiao curled his lips into a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am the city lord of Dingzhou, Wang Xiao. Although the city lord's mansion is rudimentary, it is more than enough to accommodate the girl and your brother."

"Eh?"

Wang Xiao looked at the blushing on Meng Heyin's face with satisfaction, joy, and a little desire for power.

"Girl, don't refuse anymore. I live in the east courtyard and you live in the west courtyard. No one else will gossip."

Meng Heyin blushed and said, "Then I'll bother you, Young Master. Let's go to the inn to clean up."

"No need." Wang Xiao said, "You two go back to the City Lord's Mansion first, and I will send my men to fetch your things."

Meng Heyin went out of the alley under the leadership of Wang Xiao. As soon as he walked onto the main road, a group of guards with knives suddenly rushed out from both sides of the street, and a luxurious carriage came out from behind, and the driver on it was smiling The white-browed old slave.

Huainian, who had been depressed since Meng Heyin stopped him, was startled when he saw the inexplicable person appearing. He turned his head in shock and asked Meng Heyin with his eyes: "You already knew?"

Meng Heyin gave him a calm look.

Wang Xiao noticed their gaffe from the corner of his eye, and proudly raised the corners of his lips. The upright facial features just now suddenly deformed, revealing sinister and cruelty.

"Girl, son, please?"

Meng Heyin dragged Huainian into the carriage.

It was indeed a rare and great opportunity to be in the alley just now, even she almost couldn't resist the temptation to attack Wang Xiao, if Bai Zhuzi didn't warn loudly in her head, today's plan would be over!

Outside the carriage, Wang Xiao's voice came.

"Miss Meng, I hope you have a good time in Dingzhou."
