Dark Fairy

Chapter 271 Unexpected Contact

When Bailang was still thinking about how to increase the ordnance in his hand in the courtyard of Ma Sheng Lane, and how to avoid the control of the City Lord's Mansion, the guards below rushed over.

"What's the matter?"

"Zao Dao, there are guests coming to the house, and it is revealed that they are under the command of Liu Jianyu, the left army."

"Huh!? Are you still at the mansion?"

"Yes, Zuodao. He is still drinking tea at his house. He said he would go there after Zuodao has finished his work."

Bailang suddenly stood up from the chair, took two quick steps, and then stopped, frowning as if thinking a little.

Why did someone from the army come to visit him suddenly?This seems out of order, right?
Bailang soon realized the inappropriateness.

Because the sword shop is under the city lord's palace, even the Yamen has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the sword shop.And Liu Jianyu's troops came to Yongchuan City not to replace the status and power of the city lord's palace in Yongchuan City. They were nominally a special case and came for the current war. Therefore, if they want to avoid giving others a handle, they will inevitably end up with Yongchuan City. All the minutiae of the city are kept at a distance.

It's like the four forces of the Xinpai family were hindered from encroaching on the industrial park, but Liu Jianyu has always been "indifferent".

What is the reason why the people from the army directly crossed the city lord's palace and found the sword hall?

wrong!It wasn't the knife shop that he was looking for, but Bailang!Otherwise, the other party would not have come directly to his house but to Ma Sheng Lane.

Bailang paced around the room for a while, then turned to the guard outside the door and said, "Prepare the car and go to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Yes!"

The guards don't think about why the guests have to go to the city lord's mansion first when they are at Bailang's house. After staying by Bailang's side for a long time, they will understand that they should think less and do more.

After getting on the carriage, Bai Lang signaled to go back to the street, and then drove the carriage faster.The journey that originally took almost one stick of incense was completed in half the time of a stick of incense.

The concierge of the city lord's mansion still did not let Bailang enter the tea room and waited, and asked Bailang to wait at the door for a while before leading him in.This time, instead of going to see Zhou Zhonghao first, he went directly to the study of the city lord Feng Mingyuan.

"Meet the city lord, I have met Mr. Zhou!"

"Well, you are not watching in the industrial park, what are you doing here?" Feng Mingyuan has been very busy recently, the repair and reinforcement of the city wall, as well as the construction of the military barracks in the city, the transfer of personnel involved, the allocation of money, and the demolition and various other things. prevention of hidden dangers.So much so that Feng Mingyuan didn't go back to the backyard to see his two beautiful wives for several days.So the tone is a little irritable.

"My lord, the little one is a little panicked, so I come here to ask my lord for advice."

"Huh? Afraid? Is there anything that can make you, the "White Tu", feel frightened?" Feng Mingyuan frowned and joked.In his opinion, although Yongchuan City is now greatly affected by the overall situation, there is turmoil and tension everywhere.But there wasn't anything that made Bai Lang panic.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense. Right now, a member of Liu Jianyu's unit from the Zuo Army is drinking tea at Xiao's home. He said that he wants to wait for Xiao to go back. He should have something to find him."

"Huh?! Liu Jianyu sent someone to look for you at your house?" The expression on Feng Mingyuan's face changed instantly.The previous impatience turned serious.

"Yes."

Now both Feng Mingyuan and Zhou Zhonghao understood what Bailang meant by coming here.On the one hand, it is to show loyalty, on the other hand, it is also hoping to get instructions from the city lord's palace.After all, Liu Jianyu couldn't get along with the city lord's mansion on almost everything since he arrived in Yongchuan City.So it was logical that Bailang didn't dare to make the decision without authorization.

"Let's go meet and hear what they are looking for you for." Feng Mingyuan thought for a while, and then he and Zhou Zhonghao looked at each other, as if both of them had figured out what was going on.But he didn't tell Bai Lang clearly.

Naturally, Bailang didn't know the eye contact between Zhou Zhonghao and Feng Mingyuan, he came here just to put on a show.I was also very curious about why Liu Jianyu sent someone to find him.

With the permission of the City Lord's Mansion, Bailang hurriedly returned to his mansion.When I entered the main room, I saw a middle-aged man with a long beard who looked like a scholar sitting inside drinking tea.Seeing Bailang coming in, he stood up with a smile and waved his hands to say hello, with a bit of kindness on his body.

"Bai Lang came late and neglected your lord, please don't blame me." Bailang apologized from afar.

"Bai Zuo Dao is being polite, I came too suddenly, and it is Bai Zuo Dao who disturbed Bai Zuo Dao's affairs."

"My lord, don't say that, please sit down quickly. Haven't you asked your lord's name?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Miangui, Chen Shen. He is serving as the deputy general under General Liu's command."

Hearing the words, Bailang got up quickly and saluted again and again, "I'm sorry".He wasn't just pretending, but was really taken aback by the other party's background.

What is "Long Follower Lieutenant General", this position can actually be compared to Zhou Zhonghao in the City Lord's Mansion in Bailang's understanding.Think about Zhou Zhonghao's status in the City Lord's Mansion?Then what kind of position is this Chen Shen in the left army?

But this made Bai Lang even more murmuring in his heart.How could such a big shot in the military suddenly come to him with the appearance of a private visit?

"I don't know what Master Chen ordered when he came here, but Bailang will definitely do his best!"

Chen Shen said with a smile: "With Bai Zuo Dao, I will have less worries this trip! But before we get down to business, I still have a question and I want Bai Zuo Dao to answer me honestly."

"My lord, please tell me, Bailang knows everything!"

"Are you satisfied with your current situation, my lord? Or do you think your status and treatment are worthwhile compared with your hard-working errands?" Chen Shen looked at Bailang with a smile, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't seem to let him go. Over Bailang's expression changes.

"What does your lord mean by this? Bailang is dull, why can't he understand?" Bailang is not stupid, he has long been familiar with this obvious language trap that tries to distract you.It's not that you are talented, but that you become sensible when you suffer a lot.It's just that the loss he suffered was not in this world, but when he was a social animal in another world.

Therefore, in the face of these verbal traps that make you choose sides or induce you to comment on Shangfeng, no matter what you answer at this time, it is wrong.The best way is to pretend to be stupid first, and let the other party know that you are not stupid, and then listen to what he is going to do.

Of course Chen Shen would not treat Bai Lang as a fool. He just wanted to get straight to the point and not give Bai Lang too many opportunities to cover up.

"The situation of the knife shop is actually the same everywhere. It looks majestic, but in fact it is always a filthy thing that can't be put on the table or even taken out. From time to time, it always has to face cleaning, who is in charge, and how long. It all depends on luck. Even the slick-faced people can't work for a long time in a place like the knife hall, which is inherently determined to be a dead end.

A smart person like Baizuo Dao should have thought about these things, right?
Not to mention the massacres in the industrial park before, Zuo Dao knew that the offended people were not much worse than the Feng family behind Feng Mingyuan.Afterwards, it will be better for you to settle the matter? "
