Facing Li Cheng's question, the short man smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch his face, only to hear a hiss...

Half of his face was uncovered like this.

To be honest, this scene is a bit scary... But Li Cheng has seen many scenes of ketchup flying all over the sky, so he is still calm.

At the same time, he secretly reflected: because he is good at changing, he almost forgot that in the world of Xianxia, ​​the human skin mask is also a feasible method of disguise, and its essence is not magic, without any trace of spiritual power, and has a strong concealment.

Well, this method has to be written down, maybe it will be useful in the future.

After the entire mask was torn off, what appeared in front of Li Cheng was a rather beautiful woman's face.

She looks about 25 or [-] years old, more mature than Liu Shishi, with fair skin, straight nose, majestic phoenix eyes, two hanging eyebrows like willow leaves, and soft vermilion lips that seem to be smiling but not smiling. On the whole, it makes people feel amazing but a little alienated.

I just heard her say: "I have other important matters before, so I can't hide my appearance and real name. I hope you will forgive me."

Different from the slightly hoarse male voice before, her voice is clear and pleasant now, and she looks a little like a graduate student that Li Cheng knew in his previous life.

He hurriedly replied: "It's okay. But I don't know if you are..."

"Pfft." The tall man on the side suddenly laughed out loud: "Miss is not married yet, how can she be called madam?"

The beauty raised her eyebrows: "If you talk too much, you will be punished when you go back."

"I was wrong, miss..."

"Take off your mask too." After the beauty instructed, she said to Li Cheng, "My surname is Cao and my name is Yueying. She is the daughter of the Marquis of Jichuan. She has been granted the position of Deputy Commander of the Night Watch Division temporarily by the grace of the Holy Lord."

Marquis Yoshikawa?Night watchman?Deputy Commander?

Li Cheng was slightly stunned by three unfamiliar terms in a row.

But I heard Cao Yueying continue:

"Since I took office, I have been trembling with trepidation. I am afraid that if I do not do things well, I will fail the grace of God. Therefore, I always hope to have talented people to assist me to make up for my shortcomings. Mr. Li is outstanding in talent and appearance, but it is a waste to be a storyteller. If you don't dislike it, you can come to my residence. Come on, I will treat you as a guest."

doorman...

It sounds like a job that only existed during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in the previous life. Wouldn't recruiting people like this be considered treason?

Wait, it seems that I have heard similar things before...

Li Cheng recalled for a moment, and gained a little.

Dagan is different from any dynasty in the previous life. Although it is also a great unity, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the degree of centralization is actually not high. Because of this, it is very common for the rich and powerful to keep followers.

In essence, the relationship between the doorkeeper and the supporter is similar to that of a monarch and his ministers. Unlike ordinary servants, their status is not bad, and some lucky ones can even use this as a shortcut to directly become an official.

Of course, Li Cheng had no interest in being an official, but he thought about it again, this Cao Yueying claimed to be the daughter of that marquis, and if she became her servant, did she have half a foot in the circle of wealthy families in the capital?

Perhaps, it would be more convenient to contact Hunhe King that way?

Give it a try.

And I will definitely not worry about eating roast chicken in the future... Ahem.

So he bowed and saluted: "Thanks to your lord's attention, I am very honored!"

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite. I should be happy to have your help."

Cao Yueying helped Li Cheng up, and just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the door outside the room.

After being called in, it was a man dressed as a soldier. He walked up to Cao Yueying and said something respectfully. Then Cao Yueying apologized slightly:

"I'm sorry Mr. Li, I have urgent business and need to leave early."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It's not necessary. I'm already sorry for your dry mouth and dry mouth." Cao Yueying smiled and said, "You can just continue eating here. You can order whatever you want. When you are full, you can eat and drink." Let Caihe take you to my residence."

Cai He was the tall man before, now he took off his mask, revealing a round and cute face, nodding and smiling at Li Cheng.

From the looks of it, she should be Cao Yueying's maid...No, it's hard for an ordinary maid to be close to 1.8 meters tall and have such great strength. Could it be a guard?

Li Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go, my lord."

After Cao Yueying left, Li Cheng sat at the table again.

He really didn't eat enough just now.

And the chicken dishes in this restaurant... are really good!

Another dish!

Just as Li Cheng was feasting, Cai He quietly sat down beside him, and said softly:

"Mr. Li..."

"Miss Caihe, is something wrong?"

"Hee hee, can you tell me again?"

"..."

I have been talking for a day today!

Are you not tired of listening?

Tucao returned to Tucao, but Li Cheng said face-to-face: "Okay, but I also have a few questions I want to ask."

"Mr. Li, please, as long as it does not involve secrets, I will answer everything."

"What is the night watchman?"

"Mr. Li, you really don't know this?"

...After paying another round of labor, a certain traveler gained new basic knowledge.

First of all, since the founding of the country in Dagan, there have been four divisions in the capital, namely the division of killing monsters, the division of protecting dragons, the division of Jinwu and the division of night patrolling.

Needless to say, the Demon Slayer Division, the Dragon Husband Division is similar to the hybrid of the Six Gates and the Jinyiwei, the Jinwu Division specializes in protecting the royal family in the inner city, and the Night Watch Division where Cao Yueying is...

Mainly responsible for public security in the city, patrolling streets and city gates, arresting thieves and fugitives, preventing fire and smuggling, etc...

My good fellow, the fox who was a thief when I came here unexpectedly threw himself into this kind of place!

Mice got into the cat's nest!

Secondly, Li Cheng also inquired about Cao Yueying's family background.

The ancestor of the Cao family used to be a general under the command of Daqian Taizu. Because of his great achievements, he was granted the title of Marquis of Jichuan. There are many outstanding figures in the descendants.

However, Cao Yueying took the position of deputy commander at a young age, but it was not all because of the family's shadow...

Caihe directly found a newspaper to show to Li Cheng, but on the new list of people, Cao Yueying was ranked No. 20 with the strength of entering the sixth rank.

Li Cheng was secretly startled, this woman is actually at the same level as me?

It is expected that there should be a way to hide the breath, otherwise he would never have been unable to see anything just now.

By the way, he also noticed that Liu Shishi is now number one on the list.

In an instant, he felt that he had a promising future in the way of swordsmanship!

cough cough.

In short, after a dry meal, Li Cheng replenished both nutrition and settings, wiped his mouth, followed Cai He, and headed for Cao's Mansion.

The Cao family had a Jichuanhou mansion in the capital, but Cao Yueying moved out after she took the post of deputy commander, and bought a Wujin mansion in the west of the city to live in.

The five-entry house in the capital......

The evil big family!

About two quarters of an hour later, one person and one fox finally came to the front of the house. Just as Li Cheng wanted to go in with a critical look, the keen sense of smell of the canine caught a trace of familiarity.

crunch.

The concierge opened the door, and a girl with a long ponytail and a high chest came out.

Ah, Wan'er?

Chapter 120 Three She Knocked My Head!

"Miss Wan'er."

Seeing Xiao Wan'er, Cai He greeted her first with a smile. Obviously, the relationship between the two is very close.

Xiao Wan'er smiled back, but her beautiful eyes landed on Li Cheng.

The girl with the ponytail tilted her head, slightly puzzled and said:

"plum......"

Good intuition!

The transformation technique was completely seen through!

Could it be that it is identified by body posture, temperament or walking posture...

Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, Li Cheng cupped his hands and interjected: "Miss Xiao, I never thought that I, Li Youxin, would meet you in the capital. Haha, what a fate!"

"what?"

Cai He turned to look at the two, and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

"......know."

Xiao Wan'er narrowed her eyes slightly. She saw that Li Cheng deliberately concealed his real identity, but she didn't know what the new identity would look like, so she tacitly stopped talking, but asked instead: "Why are you here?"

"I......"

"Mr. Li, Sister Wan'er? I didn't expect you to be acquaintances!"

A carriage suddenly stopped at the door, and a voice came from inside, interrupting Li Cheng's words.

It turned out that Cao Yueying had finished her work and met three people when she returned home.She stepped out of the carriage, and she had changed into a neat lady's light yellow dress, with mountains and peaks on her chest, she was no smaller than Xiao Wan'er at all.

Li Cheng saw it out of the corner of his eye, and was secretly surprised. He didn't see such a scale at all when he was wearing men's clothing just now!

How did you hide it?

But Cao Yueying stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce to Xiao Wan'er: "When I was out, I heard Mr. Li's storytelling by chance, and saw that he cleverly caught a thief who stole money, so I thought he was quite talented, so I asked him to do it. the doorman."

Li Cheng also took the opportunity to say: "Before I left Yunmeng Province, I went north to Feiyun Village to tell a story, and that's how I met Miss Xiao..."

At this point, Li Cheng felt relieved, not afraid that Xiao Wan'er would slip up.

However, when he looked up at the ponytail girl, he found that the latter was looking back and forth at him and Cao Yueying, and his expression didn't seem very happy.

"Miss Xiao, tsk..." I saw Xiao Wan'er showing a strange smile, and said softly: "Unexpectedly, this Tang Sanzang really lost the duty of learning Buddhist scriptures, and ran to find the king of the daughter country..."

Cao Yueying asked in confusion: "Sister Wan'er, Tang Sanzang, daughter country, what are you talking about?"

"It's Mr. Li... the book he talked about in our Zhuangzi before. It's called "Journey to the West". Unfortunately, there are only a few times left, and he ran away. Didn't sleep well..."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wan'er raised her eyebrows suddenly, put her five fingers together into a knife, and knocked on Li Cheng's head for no reason.

Boom, boom, knocked lightly three times.

Cao Yueying and Caihe were both stunned by such an abrupt move, confused for a moment.

Xiao Wan'er didn't care, she withdrew her hand and saluted Cao Yueying, "Sister Yueying, I want to borrow the training room tonight."

"......okay."

Cao Yueying subconsciously nodded in agreement, and the ponytail girl smiled and went back to the yard.

Looking at the slim back, Cao Yueying couldn't help but ask Li Cheng: "Have you two had any festivals before?"

"Uh, maybe I left before I finished Journey to the West...I had to do this because of an accident at home."

"So that's how it is. It's human nature to be concerned about the family, and it's understandable." After Cao Yueying finished speaking, she suddenly added: "You've worked hard these two days, so finish telling me the Romance of the Three Kingdoms first."

"...As ordered."

The three entered the courtyard together.

On the way, Cao Yueying roughly talked about Li Cheng's duties and treatment.

In terms of responsibilities, there is actually nothing, except that after finishing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has to participate in discussions when encountering problems, and occasionally acts as a follower when he goes out.

In terms of remuneration, he can get a considerable amount of salary every month, and he can live in this house for free - it stands to reason that single women and men live in the same house, which may cause people to gossip, but Cao Yueying doesn't care about it at all. Don't mind that.

There is one thing to say, it is quite difficult to understand that you can still be single after being in a wealthy family at 25 or [-]. It is probably because of the leeway brought by your strength.
