Chapter 8
In the living room, Long Xiaoyao and Zhao Dongwei sat down and drank tea for a while, and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face coming.
It is the city lord of Kaiyang City, Zhao Yuanwu!
"City Lord!" Zhao Dongwei quickly stood up and said respectfully.
"I have met Lord Zhao!" Long Xiaoyao also bowed.
"You are welcome, I guess you are Master Xiaoyao, Long Xiaoyao." City Lord Zhao Yuanwu spoke.
"That's right, I wonder what's wrong with the city lord looking for me in such a hurry?" Long Xiaoyao asked.
"I heard that the master is a beast master with a huge white tiger." Zhao Yuanwudao.
"That's right." Long Xiaoyao nodded. "I guess Lord Zhao asked me to borrow my white tiger."
"The master is indeed extraordinary, I guess it once." Zhao Yuanwu smiled, "Then I will go straight to the point and not beat around the bush. In fact, I do need this white tiger. I need to let it participate in the Beast Fighting Competition three months later."
"Beast Fighting Competition?" Long Xiaoyao looked puzzled.
"The master is not a local, so it's normal not to know." Zhao Dongwei said, "The surrounding five cities, including Kaiyang City, hold a competition every year, including the beast fighting competition. In the past, Kaiyang Mansion's results were always unsatisfactory, so this time I saw the master's mount, I wanted to borrow it."
"That's it! I'm completely fine here." Long Xiaoyao said, "but I have some small requests."
"That's natural. Since I ask Master Xiaoyao for help, I will naturally try my best to satisfy the Master's request." Zhao Yuanwu said with a smile.
"There should be a library in Kaiyang Mansion." Long Xiaoyao asked.
"Of course there are. Although there are not many books, there are more or less." Zhao Yuanwudao, "Does the master want to go in and take a look?"
Zhao Yuanwu was very puzzled. Logically speaking, a beast master like Long Xiaoyao must be a guest official with a high status elsewhere. He should have read a lot of books, so he would not like these books in Kaiyang Mansion.
You should know that there are very few books in Kaiyang Prefecture, most of which are popular classics that have been passed down, which record some history and geography, etc. As for other books, there are very few, and even less valuable ones are pitiful.
However, these questions were all in Zhao Yuanwu's mind, and he would definitely not ask them. Since Long Xiaoyao wanted to see that there must be his reasons, there was no need to dig into the bottom line.
"Is that all?" Zhao Yuanwu asked. He really felt that the condition of entering the library was too unworthy and not enough to be a condition.
Long Xiaoyao smiled indifferently: "Of course there are still some requirements, that is, I need some spiritual herbs and medicines."
"Spiritual herbs?" Zhao Yuanwu was stunned. As the lord of a city, he also knew some things in the cultivation world. In addition to warriors, there are also some spiritual cultivators who practice magic. Beast masters and alchemists are branches of spiritual cultivators. Spiritual herbs can be used to refine alchemy, which is exactly what the alchemist needs.
"Could this Long Xiaoyao be a alchemist?" Zhao Yuanwu murmured to himself.
However, he did not ask, but said, "But I don't know what kind of spiritual herbs Master Xiaoyao needs?"
"I will write a list later. Of course, it's best to have it. If not, I hope to know where these things are." Long Xiaoyao said.
"That's how it's going to be discussed later..."
Zhao Yuanwu smiled and spoke, but when he was halfway through his words, a guard suddenly came to report: "Report to the city lord, the second young master and Master Wang are here."
"Tianyu, Wang Zehui?" Zhao Yuanwu frowned slightly.
But at this time, two figures entered the living room, which was Master Wang and the second son Zhao Tianyu.
"I've seen my father!" Zhao Tianyu said respectfully after coming in.
"I've seen the city lord!" Wang Zehui nodded slightly.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yuanwu asked.
"I have to ask Master Xiaoyao for this." Zhao Tianyu smiled.
"Oh? Could it be that you know Master Xiaoyao?" Zhao Yuanwu was puzzled.
"I don't know," Zhao Tianyu shook his head, "but, he killed Commander Gao!"
"What!" Zhao Yuanwu's expression suddenly changed. If what Zhao Tianyu said was true, then Long Xiaoyao would be unable to keep it!
"Master, can you explain?" Zhao Yuanwu's tone was a little cold.
For such a remark, Long Xiaoyao only had two cold words: "Evidence!"
Although Gao Zhenyu was indeed killed by him, it was obviously not the time to admit it.
"Mr. Gao just died yesterday, but today you rode a white tiger out of the forbidden area. This is a coincidence." Zhao Tianyu said.
"I dare to ask, did your head be kicked by a donkey? How could you say such a mentally retarded?" Long Xiaoyao said.
"Who are you scolding?" Zhao Tianyu shouted angrily.
"I don't even know who I scolded. It seems that I'm right. You are indeed a mentally retarded." Long Xiaoyao said.
"Fuck!" Zhao Tianyu couldn't stand it immediately, and sweared, and then cursed, "You are the mentally retarded!"
Zhao Yuanwu also frowned slightly: "Master, stop when you can."
"What, am I wrong?" Long Xiaoyao asked, "Think about it carefully. If I really killed Commander Gao, would I still appear here? If I didn't understand such an obvious truth, I would still question me. Isn't it a mental retarded?"
"Maybe you want to do the opposite!" Zhao Tianyu said.
"You have a coincidence on the left and the other on the right. Maybe you have to convict me just by guessing?" Long Xiaoyao said, "If this is true, I don't think I have to defend myself. After all, what you guessed is right. Everything depends on your mouth. No matter how much I say, it is useless."
"You--" Zhao Tianyu was angry, but could not refute.
"Tianyu, stop making trouble anymore. Although what the master said is a bit ugly, it is a fact." Zhao Yuanwu said, "You can't talk nonsense without evidence!"
"But--" Zhao Tianyu was angry. Gao Zhenyu was the strongest person under his command. Moreover, Zhao Yuanwu didn't know that Gao Zhenyu was his person. He also hoped that Gao Zhenyu could help him control Kaiyang Mansion as a surprise soldier, but he died inexplicably, which made him very unwilling to accept it.
Wang Zehui pulled Zhao Tianyu for a moment and then smiled and said, "Master Xiaoyao, I'm so sorry. The second young master was so angry that he said something he shouldn't say. Please forgive me. Actually, I've said it to him before coming, so don't talk nonsense, but the master should understand that young people are prone to impulsiveness, I'm really sorry!"
Wang Zehui's words were amazing. He suddenly cleared Zhao Tianyu's responsibility, and changed from aggressiveness to impulse. Zhao Yuanwu had to look up to him.
However, these Long Xiaoyao didn't care at all. In Long Xiaoyao's eyes, Zhao Tianyu was no different from the ant.
Who would argue with an ant?
If the ant really makes you angry, just step on it to death. Nonsense is the most boring.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyao did not answer, Wang Zehui smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, Master Xiaoyao, I'll take a cup on behalf of Master Second Young Master Jing, which is considered a plea."
"Master Wang!" Zhao Tianyu grabbed Wang Zehui and was puzzled.
Wang Zehui winked at him, and Zhao Tianyu realized that Wang Zehui was definitely not simply asking for apologies.
"There is no wine here, so let's use tea instead of wine. Toast Master Xiaoyao a cup." Wang Zehui said, picking up the teapot and starting to pour tea.
Zhao Tianyu stared at Wang Zehui, wanting to see what methods he wanted to use.
Wang Zehui, known as Master Wang, naturally has some means. He is a spiritual practitioner who has practiced some magical techniques, whether it is an open attack or a secret move.
But Zhao Tianyu was soon disappointed, because Wang Zehui didn't notice anything strange until he poured the tea.
"Master Jing Xiaoyao." Wang Zehui raised his glass with both hands and handed it to Long Xiaoyao.
Long Xiaoyao took it, drank it all, nodded slightly: "Well, it tastes good."
Wang Zehui, who was waiting for Long Xiaoyao to make a fool of himself, widening his eyes and unable to believe his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Long Xiaoyao was as calm as a person who was fine, and was still as calm as it was, making people unpredictable.
"How is that possible?" Wang Zehui was shocked and looked very serious. Just now, he quietly dripped a drop of the juice of the Lieyang Grass into the teacup. The medicinal power of the Lieyang Grass was extremely fierce. Once he drank it, it would be burnt within.
Generally speaking, taking the Fiery Sun Grass must use special methods to weaken the Fiery Sun power, because even if the strong masters take it directly, it will be painful and unbearable. Most people who take it lightly will be tortured and roll around the ground, and those who suffer severely will directly burn the five internal organs.
Who would be like Long Xiaoyao, without any trouble?
The answer is no, at least Wang Zehui has never heard of such a strong man.
"Did he see that I put the juice of the Fiery Sun Grass inside and used methods I don't know to resolve it?" Wang Zehui frowned, obviously this was the most likely answer.
"If this is true, then this Long Xiaoyao will be difficult to deal with!" Wang Zehui concluded.
