sit and wait

Chapter 145

No matter what Yan Juntao was paying attention to, he and Ting Wan still chose to separate in the mission hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

One is to hand in the task, and the other is to visit the lord of the border town.

The city lord's mansion in the border town is as big as the palace that Yan Juntao saw in Zoutu, maybe even bigger than Zoutu's palace. It is divided into inner palace and outer palace, with extremely complex functional areas.The outer palace has a mission hall, and anyone can enter and exit; the inner palace has much stricter entry requirements. This building complex built on the hillside obviously does not welcome people to disturb it.

In short, the overall painting style of the City Lord's Mansion is particularly incompatible with the entire desolate desert.

But the castellan's family in the border town is the king of a country, the emperor of a day, and their castellan's mansion can be built as they want.Although the nominally desolate border town is also under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven, it basically listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement.

The strangest thing is that this has always been the case with the previous border city lords, and the previous emperors have also seen it, but they have never interfered, not even complained.

As for why... who knows?

Yan Juntao only knew that he showed the utmost sincerity and went to visit the city lord of the border city in the next post, but got the response that the city lord was in retreat.It is hard to say whether this is an excuse, because the city lord generously gave Yan Juntao everything he wanted, allowing him to freely check the population records of those who entered the border town over the years, with great freedom.

Regardless of whether the other party is really retreating or doesn't want to see Yan Juntao, as long as he has this token of "doing things cheaply", Yan Juntao is enough.He was very grateful to this city lord whom he had never met.

The person who came to give the token to Yan Juntao was the most capable confidant of the city lord. During the period of the city lord's retreat, it was the deputy city lord who took care of the big and small affairs of the entire border town, so that it could continue to operate as before.Twelve hours a day without rest, it can be said that he is really sacrificing his own cultivation to do his best for this city.

The city lord also put the same amount of trust in the deputy city lord, and his rights would never be given to his companions and children, but only shared with the deputy city lord.

But it is impossible to say that there is any ambiguity between these two immortals.

Because this is already a tradition in Border Town, and this is one of the strange things about Border Town—every city lord always has a confidant, who is neither his Taoist companion nor his child, but who holds the power of the city lord when he is retreating. The power of life and death over the entire border town.

The city lord will only announce who his child is when his life is approaching, and the child will succeed him after his death. Every generation is like this, and the mysticism will be carried out to the end.The owner's family of the border town has always been in such a high-profile and low-key conflict. Except for the deputy city owner, no one knows how many people live in this huge city owner's mansion.

And the deputy city lord who can work personally came to present the token to Yan Juntao, which in itself also showed that the city lord attached great importance to Yan Juntao.

"I hope Your Highness can have a pleasant experience in the border town." The deputy city lord looked young, personable, elegant and handsome.This does not mean that he is young, but at least it means that he is still young when he reaches a certain level of cultivation, and his strength must be stronger than what he has shown.

"Are you all so polite to all your majesties and highnesses who come here?" Yan Juntao asked.

The place where Yan Juntao lives now is arranged by the mayor of the border town. It is caring, comfortable and low-key, which is especially in line with the requirements of Yan Juntao and his party in the border town.

"This subordinate doesn't know." Every time the deputy city lord encountered a topic that he didn't want to discuss, he would say that he didn't know.This is not such a clever way of lying, because the other party just wants to express a position that they don't want to say.Even if he even refused, he gave both sides enough face. It can be said that he is very good at dancing.

"Thank you, we will finish our business and leave as soon as possible." Since he was so polite, Yan Juntao naturally didn't want to be a bad guest and cause too much trouble, "Whether this matter succeeds or not, I will send a big gift in the future, In respect."

"Let me first thank His Highness for your generosity on behalf of the city lord. He will definitely be very happy."

On the whole, this was a polite and enjoyable meeting, everyone got what they wanted, and there was no need for anything fancy, after the deputy city lord finished speaking, he said: He left with his usual demeanor.

Yan Juntao watched the other party leave with a smile, then turned around and asked Rong Xisui: "Do you feel that..."

"Is it possible that the city lord is also your brother? Yes, I doubt it too." Rong Xisui almost saw a strong man who was very polite to Yan Juntao but was inexplicable, and felt that the other party might be Yan Juntao's brother.There's no reason, it's just that they have encountered this kind of routine too many times, even more frequently than when Rong Xi Sui suspects that the other party is his rival in love.

"Forget it, whether it is or not, there is no need to think about it." Yan Juntao shook his head, ending the topic.Whether it is true or not does not affect what Yan Juntao will do next, nor does it affect his gratitude to the other party.Since the other party didn't say anything, Yan Juntao naturally wouldn't say either.In fact, such space for both parties to advance and retreat made Yan Juntao feel more comfortable.His older brother is simply too much.In fact, he didn't really want any more brothers.

At the same time, as Yan Juntao's "prophecy", Ting Wan met the most beautiful person in the world in a restaurant called "Drunken Life, Dreams and Death" in the border town.It's not because of how good-looking the other party really is, nor is it because of how gentle the other party's character is, or how witty and brave the other party is, but simply because the other party saved him.

Yes, it is so clichéd, beauty saves hero.

This is what Ting Wan never told Yan Juntao in his life.In his past, there was actually not so much smooth sailing, high-spirited, and dark history.More than Yan Juntao thought.

At this time, even though Ting Wan got money for medical treatment and life-saving for the first time by leapfrogging hunting on her own, but because she didn't understand the principle of "don't reveal your wealth", she was targeted by a group of villains early on.They had been waiting for an opportunity since Ting Wan entered the city, and Ting Wan was robbed by them before he even had time to hand in the task in his previous life.

In this life, because they were afraid of Yan Juntao and Rong Xisui, these people were unsure whether to pay attention to Ting Wan, so they waited until Ting Wan to hand in the task, in exchange for the immortal stone and the elixir.When Ting Wan came out, he had become a person again, and Yan Juntao and Rong Xi were not by his side.This group of gangsters kept up with Ting Wan who came out of the mission hall immediately, and robbed Ting Wan like fate.

The astute Ting Wan also discovered it as she did in her previous life, and ran away to the back kitchen of a restaurant.

This restaurant is a drunken dream.

The proprietress saved Ting Wan's life, covered him up, and sent the gangster away.Ting Wan had already been poisoned at that time, and he had hallucinations, but he just felt that the proprietress was so beautiful that he couldn't breathe.

"I like you." The antidote Ting Wan took also had a certain hallucinogenic effect, similar to fighting poison with poison.So, in fact, what he thought in his previous life was that he never had the courage to confess, and he had already said it when he and the proprietress met for the first time.It's just that he forgot after he finished speaking, and at the same time he forgot the answer from the proprietress.

"Thank you for your liking, but I already have a lover."

With just such a soft sentence, the sweet dream woke up. The proprietress didn't give Ting Wan any chance, she refused very decisively, she hated to be broken.

After waking up, Ting Wan's poison was cured, and he also forgot those muddled dreams, but his love for the proprietress was still deeply rooted in his heart, and... for some reason, he didn't dare to confess.He actually knew that the confession would not get a satisfactory answer.If it wasn't like this, then the hearty Ting Wan wouldn't have spent much time in her previous life, and didn't confess to the proprietress until she ate the beast meat.

Because this love was doomed from the very beginning to have no future.

But he still loves her.

Subconsciously, he knows that this kind of love will cause great trouble to the other party, so he decides to hide his emotions until he no longer loves the other party.Even in his whole life, he might never stop this kind of love.

Sometimes love at first sight is so inexplicable, and... hard to get rid of.

After waking up, Ting Wan didn't leave in a hurry, he had been recovering from his illness, because in fact, he had already added some money when he was in the mission hall, and asked the escort team in the mission hall to help him send the immortal stone and the elixir back quickly It’s too old for those who are still in other days.Ting Wan's biggest pain in his previous life was actually not the proprietress, but that he didn't have time to exchange for the elixir to save the old man.

Although Ting Wan in her previous life still got up and persisted in hunting while sick, in exchange for a second-class elixir that could relieve Zhai Lao's pain, Zhai Lao still couldn't persist for a few years before going.

This time, Yan Juntao had no intention of cutting willows, but instead helped Zhai Lao get the right medicine.

And Ting Wan didn't have to go on a second hunt while sick. Instead, she let go of a big brick in her heart, enjoying the soft pillow on the high bed and the gentle care of the proprietress, living a life like a fairy.

His life has actually taken a sharp turn here, even though the person involved and those who helped him have not realized it.

When Ting Wan recovered from his illness, Yan Juntao had been soaking in the entry and exit record room in the border town for a while, and his head felt dizzy, so he managed to find a few more suspicious candidates.They were all people who had inquired about the whereabouts of the giant Pu's father after entering the border town.

There is the little princess of the last two Western Heavenly Emperors; there is the last Lin Lord whose Dragon Clan has died out; and... Xiao Jianren.

"Why is he everywhere?" Yan Juntao couldn't help but raised his hand and clicked Xiao Jianren's name on the bamboo slips, "He came to the border town when he just ascended, which made me doubt the relationship between me and the city lord even more. "

The current city lord is a new city lord who has just taken office, and the other party is really likely to be another brother of Yan Juntao.

"I really think the line of the dragon clan is more likely." Even though Rong Xi was unwilling to admit it, he still had to say that Yan Juntao's life that seemed to be hanging out all the way obviously had a special preference for Dao.And the Dao is obviously counting on Yan Juntao to do something for it, and is desperately paving the way for Yan Juntao.

As the Linjun campaign that has been mentioned countless times by Yan Juntao's side, it is impossible to remain silent forever.

"Mr. Lin probably didn't have any water bags in the campaign." Yan Juntao frowned, at least that's what he remembered.
