Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 344 Jinling City

"Okay, now it's time to clean up the mess he left for me." Just as Pei Yan said, Pei Enze was indeed a natural king. In just a few moments, he had adjusted his emotions and urged Yi Changle and Kaitian to set off for Fuxing City.

……

Pei Enze chose to appear quietly in front of Fu Rou's desk in the Fuxing City Lord's Mansion.

At that time, Fu Rou was sitting alone at the desk, looking down at something intently, perhaps busy official documents or professional books.

"City Lord Fu Rou." Seeing that Fu Rou did not notice him, Pei Enze took the initiative to speak.

Hearing the voice, Fu Rou raised her head suddenly. After seeing the face of the person in front of her clearly, her eyes shook helplessly. Fu Rou obviously recognized Pei Enze and knew his identity.

The next moment, Fuzhu closed the things on the table, stood up quickly, walked quickly around the desk to Pei Enze, and said politely: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

From the moment they entered Fuxing City, Pei Enze's aura was fully revealed. Compared with Pei Enze, Fu Rou seemed timid.

"No need to be so polite." Pei Enze raised his hand slightly to stop Fu Rou from bowing to him, "I came here to find you for something important. We can talk later."

Pei Enze's expression turned serious. "The most important thing right now is to quickly summon all your citizens outside back to the city."

"So sudden?" Fu Rou frowned and asked in confusion, "What's the hurry?" As she spoke, Fu Rou turned her eyes to the beautiful woman standing behind Pei Enze. To be honest, Fu Rou had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life.

However, what really attracted Fu Rou's attention was not the beautiful woman, but the black sword she was holding.

It stands to reason that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. A woman of such beauty should not be equipped with such an ugly weapon. However, there is an indescribable sense in the way this long sword and the woman match each other, as if the woman was born to wield this long sword.

Fu Rou looked at Yi Changle and Kaitian for a while before retracting her gaze. She looked at Pei Enze suspiciously, "Usually it is the Emperor who contacts me, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly come today?"

In Fu Rou's opinion, Yi Changle carrying Kaitian was more like Pei Enze's thug.

"You doubt me? Lord Furou, are you serious?" Pei Enze raised his lips in silence, "You and I, the Celestial Clan and Fuxing City are all tied to the same rope. If I lie to you, what good will it do me?"

Fu Rou pursed her lips and had to agree with Pei Enze's words in her heart. They gave the Celestial Clan gold mines, and the Celestial Clan protected them so that they could reproduce and thrive. They complemented each other. Fu Rou really couldn't think of any reason that would make Pei Enze make a special trip to deceive her.

Seeing that his words touched Fu Rou, Pei Enze changed back to a serious expression, "There is no time to explain now. If you don't quickly summon all the yellow-eyed monsters outside, I'm afraid that the Celestial Clan and Fuxing City will be in big trouble."

"I understand." Seeing Pei Enze's serious expression, Fu Rou did not dare to delay any longer. She turned around, opened a drawer under the desk, and took out a conch about the size of her arm.

"Rustle...rustle...rustle...rustle..." Fu Rou used her tongue to emit sounds of varying lengths and frequencies towards the conch.

Fu Rou stopped quickly, but her eyes were still on the conch in her hand. After a moment, a response came from the conch, "Rustle...rustle...rustle..." Different rustling sounds came from the conch and lasted for a long time, echoing in Fu Rou's study.

After the first "rustling sound" was heard, Fu Rou put the conch on the table with confidence. At the same time, she took out a list. Fu Rou distinguished the different "rustling sounds" and slowly ticked them one by one on the list.

Pei Enze and others were a little surprised by Fu Rou's traditional verification method, and they were even more surprised by the existence of the list. With this list, they could ensure that all the yellow-eyed monsters outside would return to Fuxing City without any mistakes.

……

But I didn't expect that something that I thought was foolproof would still go wrong in the end.

The conch had not made any rustling sound for a while, but Fu Rou had not put down the pen in her hand. She looked at the list with a worried look. There was still one name missing from the list.

Seeing that Fu Rou hadn't started writing for a long time, and looked like she wanted to say something but was a little timid and didn't know how to start, Pei Enze took the initiative to ask: "City Lord Fu Rou, is there something wrong?"

"Your Highness." Fu Rou forced a smile at Pei Enze and said awkwardly, "There was indeed a small mistake." As Fu Rou spoke, she gestured with her hands, emphasizing that it was only a small mistake, fearing that Pei Enze would blame her for it.

"I have already notified all the citizens outside the city. They will all return to Fuxing City within three days." Fu Rou said urgently, and then changed the subject, "But there is one person who has not responded yet."

Hearing this, Yi Changle touched Kaitian on his shoulder expressionlessly.

Yi Changle's expressionless face turned him into a ferocious monster in Fu Rou's eyes. Fu Rou was afraid that the black sword would be across her neck in the next second, and she even bent her waist a little in fear.

"No response?" Pei Enze frowned and looked at the conch on the table, and said: "City Lord Furou, besides this conch, do you have any other way to contact him?"

"No." Fu Rou shook her head and explained carefully, "The citizens of our Fuxing City have always been united and loyal. The city lords of all generations have relied on this conch to communicate with the citizens outside. I am sure that as long as he hears it, he will definitely reply. Now I am afraid that something has gone wrong."

Pei Enze nodded, agreeing with Fu Rou's words, and confirmed again: "Are you sure there is only one person who can't be contacted?"

Fu Rou pointed at the list and assured, "OK, OK."

"In that case, then I'll make the trip, but..." Pei Enze said in a threatening voice: "I hope that when I come back, all the citizens of Fuxing City who are outside can return to Fuxing City and nothing will go wrong." "Of course, Your Highness." Fu Rou smiled ingratiatingly.

……

The address Fu Rou gave was in Jinling. When they arrived in Jinling, Kaitian had already transformed into a human form. After all, even though Kaitian was a great hero, it was indeed a bit tiring to carry a sword all the time.

It is said that Jinling is rich and dazzling, but when you really come to Jinling, you will still be surprised by its prosperity. Although the ground here is not paved with gold, when you stand on it, you will understand the meaning of every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Yi Changle and the other two walked along the bustling streets because Fu Rou had said with a proud look on her face that the person they were looking for was in the richest family in Jinling.

Yi Changle and the other two had no doubt about what Fu Rou said. After all, people from outside came to Fuxing City with the purpose of making money. How could they attract a steady stream of people to Fuxing City if they didn't bring some gold back?
"This should be it." Yi Changle stopped in front of a luxurious gate.

Kaitian nodded in agreement, "After walking for so long, this is the most impressive house in Jinling."

Then, the two of them looked at Pei Enze at the same time. Pei Enze said nothing, but walked forward resignedly and said to the servant guarding the door: "Please tell them that someone from my hometown is coming."

The servant looked at Pei Enze in confusion. Logically, the man in front of him didn't even have a visiting card, so he shouldn't pay attention to him, and he should even drive him away. But the man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome, and extraordinary. He looked like an important person, so the servant patiently asked: "Sir, I wonder which master should I tell this to?"

"Xu..." Fu Rou said, but Pei Enze had somewhat forgotten the man's name.

"Xu Wenfei." Yi Changle behind Pei Enze reminded at the right time.

"Xu Wenfei?" Upon hearing the name, the servant's expression became a little stiff.

Kaitian noticed the stiffness of the servant and asked, "Your expression... Could it be that something happened to Xu Wenfei?"

"Three..." The three people in front of him really made the servant feel confused. As a servant in the house of the richest man in Jinling City, he had seen many dignitaries, and even a prince, whom he had the honor of meeting once. He had to admit that even the prince could not compare to the elegance of the three people in front of him.

But the terrible thing is that these three people's brains don't seem to be working well. After discovering this problem, the servant's eyes gradually became sympathetic. "Three..." The servant pointed to the plaque above his head and said, "There is no one named Xu Wenfei in our master's family."

Yi Changle and the other two looked up at the same time, and saw an extremely clear word "Li" on the plaque above their heads.

"Here, there are only people with the surname Li, no one with the surname Xu. All the masters have the surname Li, including me," the servant added.

"Really? Haha." Kaitian laughed awkwardly and asked, "Isn't this the richest family in the entire Jinling City?"

"Of course." The servant said proudly, "In the entire Jinling City, there is no family richer than my master's family. My master's family is the richest in Jinling City!"

"That should be the place, right?" Kaitian frowned and said doubtfully, "Since he is the richest man in Jinling City, Xu Wenfei should be here."

"What are you doing here? Are you a servant like me?" The servant said seriously, "All the servants in our mansion have the surname Li, just like the master. There is really no one named Xu Wenfei."

"This is probably the reason why Fu Rou couldn't contact Xu Wenfei." Pei Enze pursed his lips, "It seems that something really happened."

"Since the person you are looking for is not in our house, you three should leave quickly." The servant remembered his duty.

At this time, a fat man in his 40s or 50s came out of the courtyard and said as he walked out, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and welcome the guests in."

"May I know who these three distinguished guests are?" The uncle greeted Yi Changle and the other two with a smile.

"Butler Li, they are here to look for someone." The servant explained to the uncle, "But the person they are looking for is not in our house."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"I don't know who he is, but I heard his name is Xu Wenfei." The servant answered truthfully.

"Xu Wenfei?" When Butler Li heard the name, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing that Butler Li seemed to know Xu Wenfei, Pei Enze hurriedly asked, "Do you know him?"

Butler Li didn't say yes or no, he just looked at Pei Enze and the other two seriously. He had discovered in the courtyard just now that these three people must be either rich or noble. This was also the reason why he went out to greet them. Based on his many years of experience, he could definitely make some money from these three people.

Yi Changle handed a gold ingot to Butler Li at the right time. After all, she had taken a lot of gold when she left Fuxing City. "Butler Li, please help me."

Steward Li took the gold and took a bite of it. After confirming that it was real gold, he smiled and said, "I know him. It's Xu Wenfei, the prodigal son. If he wasn't really good at squandering money, our master wouldn't be the richest man in Jinling City."

"Then where is he now?" Yi Changle asked.

"He should be in the slums outside Jinling City." Butler Li put away the gold, thought for a moment and said, "Three of you, he is not a good person. No, maybe he is not even a human being. I advise you to stay out of his business."

"Not even a human? Butler Li, do you know anything else about him?"

Seeing that Steward Li did not answer, Yi Changle handed over another ingot of gold, "Please help me to the end."

But unexpectedly, Butler Li rejected Yi Changle's gold, "Anyone who gets involved with him will not have a good result. Three of you, I will stop here."

After saying that, Butler Li turned around and went back to the mansion, and ordered the servant just now, "Send the guests away. It's not right to block the door like this."

"You three, please come in." The servant gestured to Yi Changle and the other two to see them off. Seeing Butler Li's back getting farther and farther away, he whispered, "Butler Li has this kind of temper. Please forgive me."

Yi Changle didn't say anything, but just stuffed a gold ingot into the servant's palm, and then the three of them headed out of Fuxing City.

The servant's eyes widened. Although he was the servant of the richest man in Jinling City and always followed his master in public, he had never seen such a generous nobleman. He spent all his money in gold. He was really generous. After putting the gold away, the servant sighed, "Sure enough, there is no perfect person in the world. She is beautiful and rich, but her eyesight is not very good. What a pity."

If Yi Changle knew that the servant would have such an insight after she left, she would definitely change the gold she gave to the servant into silver.

……

The slums outside Jinling City.

The eaves built casually with straw could not block much rain, let alone the wind. The ground was covered with mud and I didn't know where to step. I never thought that outside the prosperous Jinling City, there would be such a place, poor and desperate.

Yi Changle and the other two, dressed in bright clothes, obviously did not fit in the slums. They were like three white dots suddenly appearing on a black paper, completely two extremes.

All of a sudden, all eyes were focused on Yi Changle and the other two. Some eyes were calm, some were jealous, some were amazed, and some were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, wishing to tear Yi Changle and the other two into pieces.
