Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 14 Taste
The time had come, the temperature gradually rose, and a pungent smell unconsciously drilled into Li Xing's nostrils.

It's a strange smell, a little winey, but also smoky and trembling.

Li Xing didn't pay attention to it for a while, because all kinds of strange smells are coming out from everywhere in the whole North District, maybe some family is messing around with something...

Until Li Xing left the northern district of the city and came to the ten-mile long street in the center of the city, this smell still lingered around him and lasted for a long time, which attracted Li Xing's attention.

After looking around, I found that the pedestrians on the street seemed to be normal and had not been affected in any way.

A terrible guess came to his mind.

"No!"

Li Xing raised his sleeves with a sad face, only to realize that the smell came from himself.

You changed your clothes 2 days ago, why is it like this?

He raised his head and looked at the time. The time agreed with Steward Wang was after noon. If he went home now, there was still time.

Thinking this way, Li Xing would have acted like this. If he hadn't thought this way, he would have even forgotten that the wounds on his body needed to be replaced regularly.

It's only been a few days, and I can't even remember the fact that I was still injured...

The direction of exiting the city at the gate of the city was unimpeded, but the chariots and people who wanted to enter the city formed a long queue.

The city guards carefully inspected every incoming and outgoing truck, working carefully and meticulously without any slack.

Li Xing looked around while walking, and when passing by a car full of goods, Li Xing smelled the pungent smell again.

It's really strange, Li Xing thought to himself, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Soon came to a sparsely populated place, started walking like flying, speeded up and rushed back to his old lair.

I took off my clothes and washed my body in the river. After tearing off the bandages, I saw that the wounds on my body had formed bright red blood scabs. After touching them, they felt hard, and only when I exerted force would I feel a little pain. , seems to be recovering very well.

This is really good stuff!

Li Xing stared at the few gold medicines that Miss Lan gave to him. In comparison, the handwriting of the so-called famous doctors in the city that he had used before was no different from rubbish!
It seems that we still have to find a chance, and then discuss with Miss Lan for some preparations!Li Xing shamelessly thinks about good things.

After washing, he struggled to wrap the bandages. After thinking about it, Li Xing changed into the green robe and white shirt that Miss Lan gave him.

I tidied up my short hair and took a closer look at the stream. It can be said that I was half-cupped and looked at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree before the wind!
Don't say anything else, just look at this skinny, young man in green shirt and white robe, no matter how you look at it, he can be regarded as a son, no one can boast that he is a turbid son, a handsome young man.

The more Li Xing looked at it, the more he liked it, but the high-hanging sun reflected directly on the earth, interrupting his self-satisfaction.

Noon has come.

It was a little too late, so Li Xing didn't think too much, and rushed to the city with his lightness kung fu.

Unexpectedly, the line at the gate of the city did not decrease at all, but got longer and longer, and the flow of people showed no sign of dispersing.

This is strange, today is not the time to rush to the street, what's going on?

The privileges of the Shangzong disciples are not easy to use in the eyes of these lowest-level guards, and Li Xing has no capital to show his face for the time being.

And if he didn't line up honestly, the eyes of the common people would poke him to pieces. Li Xing had no choice but to wait in line honestly.

Fortunately, the flow of people was still slowly moving forward, and it was about to be his turn to enter the city, but the strange smell flooded into his nose again.

This time, Li Xing clearly identified the source of the taste.

That was a carriage not far in front of him, and the uppermost layer of the carriage normally transported food, fruits and vegetables.

But the lower layer of the carriages and horses is filled with earthen pots. I don't know what is inside, but Li Xing is sure that the smell comes from those earthen pots.

The guard also noticed the abnormality, so he asked the cargo owner to open the earthen pot, but after only a cursory look, the guard held his nose and waved his hand, and let the whole vehicle go.

Seeing that the city guards didn't care, Li Xing didn't bother to investigate further, and rushed to the inn where Butler Wang was staying as soon as possible.

"Young Master's outfit today looks like it complements each other."

Steward Wang looked up and down, praised Li Xing's attire, and had an expression of 'this is right' on his face.

Obviously, this appearance of Li Xing fits the appearance that a disciple of the Shangzong should have in his mind.

"I'm really sorry. I don't know why there are so many people entering the city today. I wasted time. Please forgive Wang Butler."

"Normal, it's the city lord's birthday after all!"

Butler Wang was not surprised at all.

birthday!

Li Xing suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.

Yes, in the past few days, the city will be very lively.Although the city lord did not make a large-scale announcement and did not hold any activities to enjoy the people.

Only occasionally, the lord will set off fireworks for himself on that day to celebrate.

Counting this time, it seems that it is less than five days.

Thinking of this, Li Xing suddenly said to Steward Wang thoughtfully: "You said that the Lan family is unwilling to let Miss Lan leave, are you waiting for the birthday of the city lord?"

Steward Wang didn't understand the doubt hidden in Li Xing's words, but nodded his head naturally: "Maybe Mr. Lan also has this consideration."

"After all, Ms. Lan and the city lord were also playmates. If she is celebrating the city lord's birthday, it is reasonable."

If they were about the same age, why didn't the city lord marry Miss Lan?It stands to reason that regardless of status or age, Miss Lan should be a good match for the city lord!

But these words were somewhat out of line, and Li Xing couldn't ask.

After stopping the gossip, Steward Wang turned to the main topic.

"Early this morning, I have met with the city lord, clarified our requirements, and asked for help. The city lord is willing to help, but he is also very short on manpower."

"In the end, for the sake of my family, I managed to squeeze out a few city guards."

"If you say anything, you may be very nervous!"

Li Xing took over the topic. If we still follow the previous plan and attack three suspects at the same time, this power will obviously be insufficient!
Steward Wang stroked his smooth chin, nodded and said, "I think so too!"

"However, if we are just trying to scare the snake, it shouldn't have any impact on the final result."

"The good news is that Shi Chang's surname is Meng, and he is the old guard of the city lord. It is rumored that he is a master who has stayed at the peak of the Mingshen realm for a long time."

"And these elite soldiers are all masters of body forging. As long as this kind of configuration forms an army formation, even a master at the peak of Mingjing will be absolutely sure."

"Then congratulations to Butler Wang first!"

"Happy together!"

The two complimented each other.

Steward Wang looked up at the sky,

"It's set at Youshi, and the set location is at the sentry post on Ten Mile Chang Street. This is a keepsake!"

Speaking of which, Steward Wang handed over a wooden token, which was half of the tiger character. This is the tiger talisman commonly used in the army. It's over.

"Just trouble you, Mr. Li, to help me run this trip!"

"After the matter is completed, I will definitely thank you very much!"

Butler Wang bowed to Li Xing.

"Good talk, good talk!"

Li Xing's smile is bright and sincere!

Because these are the most beautiful words he has heard today!

Li Xing understood the reason why Butler Wang couldn't leave the inn for the time being. Looking out of the window was the gate of the Lan family, and he could have a panoramic view of most of the Lan family's mansion.

So he nodded and hid half of the token in his pocket.

"Just don't worry about it!"
