Lord Sword Immortal will not be defeated

Chapter 75 Lord of the City, Mother Ma Tu

City Lord's Mansion.

This is a place that has been overlooked.

In other words, it was a place where someone deliberately wanted Wang Li to ignore it.

Shu Yao had said everything, but he just didn't mention the Anping City Lord of the Shu Dynasty.

In fact, this city lord is the real ruler of this mortal world. If Yunyu Pavilion wants to gain a foothold in Anping City, it must first obtain the consent of the city lord.

It is true that the Shu Dynasty took over the control of Shushan Xianzong, but as long as there are no major problems in the dynasty, then Shushan Xianzong will not arbitrarily intervene in the operation of the dynasty. There is indeed a Supreme Emperor sitting on the head of the Shu Dynasty, but this Supreme Emperor basically doesn't care about things.

By extension, guarding disciples from Xianzong in Shushan cannot interfere with the running of the local government, let alone harm the people of the dynasty, otherwise the local court officials are indeed no opponents of Xianzong disciples, but they can report it, and the royal family will of course get the news It will be passed to Shushan, and Shushan will handle it by itself.

However, Shu Yao didn't say anything about the city lord.

Wang Li noticed.

Because although he has mastered a relatively high stage of Taoism, he has not yet escaped from the world of mortals in terms of psychological cognition. He understands who is directly in charge of mortals, rather than thinking that the immortal sect is superior and can manage all by himself. matter.

Therefore, at this moment when Du Xiaoyu entered the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Li was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

It's a pity that Ma Shi, as a guide, couldn't take him into the core area of ​​the imperial court, so Wang Li could no longer use the talisman astrolabe to monitor him.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the door was knocked open.

A big man with a scruffy beard came in.

Seeing that the other party brushed his cheek with his hand, he immediately took off a mask without a trace. In addition to the change of his face, even his clothes and figure also changed.

Ling Yue'er held the mask and sat next to Wang Li happily, and said with a smile, "This magic weapon is really easy to use!"

The mask was placed on the table, its color was pale gold, as thin as a cicada's wing.

Cicada Transformation, a top-grade magic weapon, bestowed by the Palace Master Wang.

"Do you like it?" Wang Li asked casually.

"I like it!" Ling Yue'er nodded quickly with vigor.

"Then I will lend you Dai Dai more in the future."

"Cut~" The little cat demon bared her teeth as usual.

Wang Li smiled: "Let's gossip, did you find anything?"

"Of course there are discoveries." Ling Yue'er immediately became serious: "Young master asked me to check the government files, focusing on the investigation of missing and accidental deaths. I followed your instructions, but I used my spiritual sense as quickly as possible After going through all the materials in the warehouse for decades, there were no cases that met the investigation conditions. Those disappearances and accidental deaths all had relatively complete files at the end, without any trace of fraud, and they did not focus on young women or male."

Wang Li nodded slightly, feeling disappointed.

"However, I did see Du Xiaoyu's dossier."

"Oh?"

"She died 20 years ago. The brothel where the accident happened was at the current location of Yunyu Pavilion. There is no record about her life. But... I don't think she is completely from Anping City."

Wang Li's eyes flickered: "Why?"

Ling Yueer said enthusiastically: "The case file described in detail the time, place and reason of Du Xiaoyu's death, and also gave a little introduction to her origin. Knowing that his parents are deceased, he came from Du County before moving, but failed to find relatives, and there was no one for seven days, so he was dealt with according to the law."

"Du County?" Wang Li thought carefully about the map he had seen, and quickly said, "This is a county under the jurisdiction of Anping Prefecture, and it's quite far from the city."

Ling Yue'er nodded, then changed her demeanor, and said a little mysteriously: "My lord, guess what else I found?"

Wang Li squinted: "You say that, how can I guess?"

"Hey, City Lord! Do you know who the City Lord is?"

Hearing this, Wang Li also became interested.

He guessed: "Have I seen this person?"

Ling Yueer blinked and refused, "I can't tell you."

Wang Li smiled and said: "So, I must have seen it. If I haven't seen it, you should tell me. Well, in fact, what I asked is unreasonable. If I haven't seen it, you won't let me know." I guessed."

Ling Yue'er immediately loosened her shoulders in discouragement, lay down on the table and said, "Okay, then do you know who it is?"

"Let me think about it..." Wang Li frowned slightly, recalling everyone he had met since entering the city.

Entering one by one and then eliminating one after another, he quickly locked in a candidate.

"Is it Daoist Fuliu?"

"Sure enough, I guessed it..." Ling Yueer said lazily: "It's him, although I don't know why he works part-time as the master of the White Tiger Temple, but he is indeed the city lord of Anping Prefecture appointed by the Shu Dynasty himself, with great power .”

But Wang Li laughed: "In this case, many things can be explained."

Shu Yao is the master of Fuliu Daoist, and Baihuguan probably relied on this relationship to become the affiliated unit of Shushan, and Fuliu Daoist's age seems to meet the conditions for being a feudal official.

There are also many people in the imperial court who are practitioners, but those who are truly talented will join Shushan, so those who can really be high officials basically don't have much cultivation, such as Daoist Priest Fuliu, who is already in a very special state. It's rare.

Looking at it all together, the conditions for a group of them to decide on a Yunyu Pavilion are quite sufficient.

The heavenly court, the underworld, Shushan, and the dynasty are all connected.

The more I look at and think about it, the more I realize their difficulty.

"My lord, the city lord's mansion is heavily guarded and guarded by formations. If you break in directly, the other party will definitely notice it immediately, so I didn't act rashly."

"Well, you are right. My previous guess is fine. The City Lord's Mansion should be their main gathering point, at least it should be the place where they meet each other. As long as this is confirmed, we don't have to go in."

Wang Li thought for a while, and then said: "Go and watch near the Yunyu Pavilion, and see what they are doing today."

"My lord, she is a girl..."

"You're not a girl, you're a cat."

"That's a kitten too."

"...You continue to wear the mask, hurry up."

"Well, I'm just not used to those women sticking to me." Ling Yue'er muttered and picked up the mask, and after putting it on, she chose to become a gentle young man this time.

After she left, Wang Li went downstairs again.

Ma Shi is already waiting.

"My lord, according to your plan, we should go to the West City today."

"Well, let's go."

……

City Lord's Mansion.

As the master, Taoist Fuliu knelt in front of Du Xiaoyu.

"Fu Liu, where's the person?"

"Pavilion Master Rong, after the last time, he has become much weaker, and even his soul seems to be unstable, but today he is seriously ill at home, and his subordinates have already sent someone to bring him here for medical treatment."

Du Xiaoyu said indifferently and proudly: "Okay, but after today, he can't go back."

Hearing this, Fu Liu was not surprised at all, and continued to keep his forehead touching the ground and said: "This subordinate understands, and will definitely make arrangements for the pavilion master."

"Well, you have always been careful in doing things, no wonder Shu Yao values ​​you. Also, help me make an appointment with them, the sooner the better."

"Master, are you all the adults?"

"That's right." The corners of Du Xiaoyu's lips curled up, "Tell them, I'm going to do something big this time."

After a while, Fu Liu got up and left.

As soon as he returned to the front yard, he saw the butler walking with a skinny young man.

Seeing him, the butler hastily quickened his pace, stepped forward and said flatteringly: "My Lord, the man has brought it."

Fu Liu nodded slightly, looking at the young man.

Seeing this, the housekeeper bid farewell and left swiftly.

The young man raised his head slightly, his pale cheeks and bloodless lips showed that he was not healthy at this time.

Fu Liu suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Is your mother's body okay?"

"My lord, she is almost completely blind, and the deeper the winter, the worse she coughs, but fortunately, with the decoction you gave me, she managed to survive."

"That's good. Back then, your mother asked me to help her name the child. I thought of Lao Ma, so I directly named Ma Shitu. I didn't expect that she would give birth to you, but she didn't come to me. Instead, she gave birth to you. Taking apart the name, fortunately, the brothers know the way, but it has a unique charm."

Hearing this, Ma Tu couldn't help showing a weak smile: "My lord's affection for the Ma family, my mother and my brothers dare not forget."

Fu Liu smiled warmly, like the morning light.

The two chatted for a while, Fuliu gradually put away his smile and looked a little solemn.

When he didn't speak, Ma Tu asked, "May I ask what worries you, sir?"

Fu Liu sighed lightly and shook her head: "It's not about worrying, but... about your mother's illness."

Hearing this, although Ma Tu was weak, his eyes suddenly lit up: "My lord, is there a way to cure my mother's illness?"

Fu Liu nodded first, then shook his head, frowning deeply.

Seeing this, Ma Tu knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, if you can cure my mother's illness, I am willing to pay any price!"

Fu Liu hurriedly helped him up, and said with a troubled expression: "This matter is difficult to say, easy to say, but if you want to save her, it will hurt you, but you are in the prime of life, if you You have three pluses and two shortfalls, so what should your mother do?"

Ma Tu excitedly held Fu Liu's wrist: "My lord! Even if I really die, as long as my mother is healthy, it will not be in vain. Besides, I have an elder brother, you know, he is much more capable than me , I will definitely be able to take good care of my mother, so that I have no worries."

Fu Liu frowned: "You really think so?"

Ma Tu nodded heavily: "It's absolutely true!"

"Even if you might die?"

"Even if I must die, I still want to cure my mother!"

Fu Liu stared at him for a long while, but didn't see the slightest sign of shrinking back, so she shook her head and sighed: "Fool, if that's the case, come with me."

Ma Tu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled brightly, and followed closely behind.
