Chapter 100: Demon Suppression Division vs Little Enchantress
Lu Xingzhou had been traveling for twenty years since he crossed over, and this was his first time in the capital.
The capital actually had a name, called Ten Thousand Immortal City, taking the meaning of ten thousand immortals coming to court, but the world rarely called it that.
I don't know if it's because no one is worthy of being called an immortal, and the real immortals are too lazy to pay attention to you, so the city name seems a bit clownish.
Let alone real immortals, even the masters of the holy lands don't care about your Emperor, and everyone can check and balance each other.
The holy land itself is not in the capital, and its specific location is relatively ethereal, and few outsiders know it. In the past, the master of the holy land rarely served as the national teacher, and the national teacher was often a respected elder sent by the holy land. Ye Tianlan, the current master of the holy land, personally served as the national teacher, which was a relatively rare situation in history.
Generally, this situation means that the holy land thinks the country's situation is quite severe...... But Gu Zhanting himself didn't think so.
Although there are demons invading secretly and demonic cultivators harming the people, they have all been solved, haven't they? Most people are still good.
The war with the demon race in the north has also been won, right?
On the surface, the capital was indeed prosperous. Just in terms of city scale, Xiazhou probably wouldn't even be large enough to be a single ward of the capital. The prosperity of Dream-Return City, which had been highly praised just days ago, looked inadequate the moment it was compared to this place. The flow of people entering the city was far greater than that of Dream-Return City.
Even Pei Chuyun, who was like a country bumpkin entering the city when she went to Dream Return City, followed "Young Master" closely this time, looking around.
"You didn't explore the Pei family? Why are you still like a country bumpkin entering the city?" Lu Xingzhou asked without looking sideways.
"I explored it at night, coming and going in a hurry, didn't stroll around properly, not familiar."
Lu Xingzhou had a thud in his heart: "Why explore at night? You wouldn't be because you didn't have a road permit and couldn't enter the city directly, right?"
Pei Chuyun: "......No."
"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Lu Xingzhou was so angry that he almost jumped out of the wheelchair: "Your mouth is only used for eating oranges, or babbling endlessly? It's been half a month on the road, and you didn't say such an important thing."
"I forgot." Pei Chuyun said righteously: "Solving the identity problem for the maid is the Young Master's responsibility."
"Be careful, I'll really get you a deed of sale." Lu Xingzhou took out a road permit from his ring and threw it over: "Make do with it for now, I'll find someone to go through the back door when I enter the city and get you an A'luo."
Pei Chuyun looked curiously: "Why do you still carry this with you?"
"I used to be an assassin, often needing a fake identity. I said how come your Joyous Union Sect doesn't even have this? Logically, it shouldn't be less than my fake identity......" Lu Xingzhou touched his chin: "I think it's not prepared for you, implying a restriction on travel. In short, don't tell me it's because you are a newcomer and they forgot."
Pei Chuyun frowned.
"Road permit!" The city gate guards stopped them, and the three of them honestly took out their road permits, even A'nuo had one.
The guard took a look, no one cared about Pei Chuyun's, and they all looked at Lu Xingzhou's, their expressions very strange: "You are Lu Xingzhou......"
Then they looked at him like a star, and several guards surrounded him to look.
Lu Xingzhou was stunned: "Yo, my fame has spread here?"
The guards all laughed. Of course it's famous. These days, the party struggle in the court is fierce. Grand Tutor Huo was attacked by the impeachment of Garrison Commander Meng, and various impeachments have been flying to the court like snowflakes recently, making him exhausted. Lu Xingzhou's role in this matter, as well as his suspected identity as Huo Shang, is now known to everyone in the capital.
Especially that Huo Shang identity, aristocratic infighting, illegitimate son's revenge, full of explosive points. It is said that he will come to the Capital Alchemy Academy, and the whole capital is eating melons waiting for him to enter the capital. Some people are betting on whether he is too scared to come in this limelight, but they didn't expect to see the real person!
Not only was he not scared, he also brought a delicate little maid.
Oh, and a child, not familiar, didn't see.
Lu Xingzhou naturally knew why he was famous, and smiled: "Guard brother, ask for directions...... May I ask how to get to the Sheng family?"
Of course, there is more than one Sheng family in the capital, but the guards soon knew who he was referring to. Someone pointed the way with a smile: "Miss Sheng heard you were coming a few days ago, and even distributed pork at the city gate to treat guests. It was also a scene at the city gate at that time."
Lu Xingzhou was stunned. Melon sister is conveying the message of "this person is covered by me" to the capital......
Although she can't cover anything in the face of the Huo family, her father is not enough. The Huo family is exhausted now and probably can't take care of her, but it's not easy to be willing to stand out like this. Melon sister is loyal!
After entering the city, Lu Xingzhou didn't go straight to the Sheng family, but found an inn nearby to settle down.
Just after checking in, Sheng Yuanyao scraped into his courtyard like a gust of wind: "A'nuo...... eh?"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Pei Chuyun standing in the courtyard eating oranges. Pei Chuyun blinked her big eyes and looked at Sheng Yuanyao up and down.
Sheng Yuanyao's good mood of meeting an old friend was almost gone. What's with this defensive look like a vixen? Even Shen Tang didn't defend against me, this aunt is bright and clear, who is this vixen?
A'nuo jumped out from the room on the side, holding Sheng Yuanyao straight: "Sister Yao."
Sheng Yuanyao's mood immediately improved again, holding A'nuo's face and rubbing: "Look if the feel has changed? Not bad, not bad, actually a little fatter, better to rub......"
A'nuo didn't hold the person with her short hands, but was rubbed first, her eyes were extremely resentful.
Sheng Yuanyao leaned over to her ear, gave Pei Chuyun a look, and whispered: "Who is this woman? She looks like a vixen, not a good thing."
A'nuo laughed. Pei Chuyun was wearing a little maid's outfit and hair accessories at this time, green clothes and white skirt, looking like a pure little white cabbage, where is there any vixen look. Sister Yao is worthy of being from the Demon Suppression Division, seeing through the cabbage to the essence.
"That's the maid Master just took in, Sister A'luo." A'nuo was happy in her heart, introducing honestly: "Sister A'luo, this is Sister Yao from the Demon Suppression Division."
Pei Chuyun had been looking for a long time, and only then said leisurely: "Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, the efficiency of scraping in to find a man is quite high......"
"?" Sheng Yuanyao was furious: "I clearly called A'nuo when I came in! What finding a man, Lu Xingzhou has nothing to do with me."
Pei Chuyun's tone was cool: "Yeah, men say they are going to see a cat when they steal fish."
A'nuo: "......"
Sheng Yuanyao was so angry that she smoked, and asked A'nuo in a low voice: "Where did you find this blind maid? She eats oranges by herself when guests come, and she's babbling."
A'nuo scratched her head.
Pei Chuyun could act very well, and she had rehearsed all the way...... Although they were bickering all the way, it shouldn't be like this......
Could it be that she is really jealous of Sheng Yuanyao? Or is she deliberately acting like a jealous little maid......
"A'luo." Lu Xingzhou came out of the room in a wheelchair and said with a dark face: "Miss Sheng is our distinguished guest, what are you doing?"
Pei Chuyun sniffed and hung her head, looking aggrieved.
"Go, make tea for the distinguished guest."
"Oh......" Pei Chuyun honestly went to boil water. Sheng Yuanyao watched her back, laughing angrily: "Where did you find this strange maid?"
Lu Xingzhou also had a big head, and he had to go through Sheng Yuanyao's back door to get an A'luo road permit. How could she offend people as soon as she came up? It shouldn't be......
He had to apologize with a smile: "Look at my face......"
"Yo, is your face very big?" Sheng Yuanyao squinted at him: "Did you forget that you are the one who pitted me the most?"
Lu Xingzhou apologized with a smile: "Look at my face......"
"Is your face very big?" Sheng Yuanyao squinted at him: "Did you forget that you are the one who pitted me the most?"
Lu Xingzhou sighed: "I even blew you up to the sky and down to the ground when I met other people from the Demon Suppression Division, and that's how you look at me......"
"Commander Jing?"
"Yes."
Sheng Yuanyao was silent for a moment, and also sighed: "He is a pity...... Our family also discussed this matter, saying how should we deal with him if we meet him in the future? He is a wanted criminal, should we take action?"
"Why set such a difficult problem? I think he will avoid you if he sees you."
As they spoke, the two sat at the stone table in the courtyard. Pei Chuyun came over with a teapot and added tea to Sheng Yuanyao.
Sheng Yuanyao moved to the side in disgust.
Pei Chuyun was tearful: "Miss Sheng, it's all the maid's fault. You should be angry with me, don't blame the Young Master......"
Sheng Yuanyao was dumbfounded: "No, your tea is quite green, no wonder you are called A'luo. Don't pour it, I'm already full."
Lu Xingzhou almost laughed out loud.
He probably knew what Pei Chuyun was doing; deliberately offending people, on the contrary, made people not suspect that she had other origins. After all, those with ulterior motives would never offend people as soon as they came up. Now Sheng Yuanyao would never think this was a Joyous Union enchantress even if she were beaten to death.
But it was actually unnecessary; the little enchantress was still too tight and lacked a sense of security.
Pei Chuyun honestly poured tea, secretly curling her lips. She knew it was unnecessary...... It's just that a woman ran in screaming, and she looked very beautiful, suddenly feeling like her territory had been invaded, very unhappy.
Although the offense was half intentional, half didn't need to be acted.
Sheng Yuanyao was saying: "It's not a matter of getting an identity for your green tea. The matter now is, why have you become lustful and started playing with maids?"
"We are familiar, but don't talk nonsense, I'm slandering you, how did I play?"
"You have nothing to do with her, she treats me as a great enemy? In the prime of youth, don't always drill into this kind of thing." Sheng Yuanyao knocked on the table painfully: "There are so many serious things......"
Lu Xingzhou laughed: "What serious things, the Alchemy Academy assessment is still some time away."
"Melon, you must not forget to notify me if you want to do anything to the Huo family during this time. My fun for the next few months depends on you; don't indulge in playing with maids and come back without farting!"
"I can't say whether I can notify you in time...... But I am guessing whether the Huo family will come to trouble me tonight. Do you want to stay here and watch the show?"
"The Huo family is being watched by thousands of eyes now, so they shouldn't trouble you for a while." Sheng Yuanyao laughed: "Also, you asked me how to get to the Sheng family, so you want to visit my father, don't come, my father said he won't see you."
Lu Xingzhou: "......Your father is really cowardly."
"You don't involve in officialdom, you don't know the whirlpool...... This kind of thing is a matter of nine families' lives if you make a mistake." Sheng Yuanyao patted his shoulder: "Don't think too much for now, I represent an old friend, it's no problem to treat you to a meal and pick you up. Let's go, take your green tea dumpling, and eat together."
