359. So that's it(1/2)
On April 14th, the weather is clear.
Tomorrow is the day when the second auction of the Divine Soldier City is held. This is already very lively in the Divine Soldier City.
Dugu Ao returned to the Divine Bing City yesterday. The weather was very bad at that time. After entering the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't even drink water. He quickly left to rescue the ships in the water that had an accident in the water. He saved many people and soaked in the water for a long time. Finally, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion almost in the middle of the night. Because he had never slept much after returning from Qingluan Kingdom. He was too tired, and he had not changed his wet clothes and didn't drink ginger soup, let alone take a hot bath to drive away the cold, and fell asleep.
As a result, when Dugu Ao opened his eyes early this morning, he felt a little drowsy and weak in his limbs. This was extremely unfamiliar to him. At that time, his first thought was to doubt whether he had been infected with the poison because he had no experience of being infected with wind and cold.
Then Duguao fell asleep again in a drowsy way, and half asleep, he saw Mo Qingchen.
At that time, Mo Qingchen came to find Dugu Ao, hoping that he would go out to sea to pick up Mu Lin and Qin Zheng's family. He knocked on the door and came in without responding. Unexpectedly, Dugu Ao was sick. Mo Qingchen touched Dugu Ao's forehead, which was all hot.
Mo Qingchen asked Xiao Yuesheng to come helplessly to take Dugu Ao's pulse, and the matter of going to greet Mu Lin fell on his head.
At this moment, Mo Qingchen had already sailed to sea. Dugu Ao drank the medicine prescribed by Xiao Yuesheng and fell asleep.
Many things about the city lord's mansion are handled by Beitang Lingsu. Tomorrow will be the second auction. When Beitang Lingsu was busy this day, he received a report that a girl was visiting at the foot of Xuanming Mountain. He heard from the girl's description that he was going to thank the young man who saved her at the beach yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, he will look for Dugu Ao.
"I'll go and see, don't call Mr. Dugu. You two, take that box and follow me down the mountain to the school." Beitang Lingsu said and went out, followed by two guards from the city lord's mansion, not the Sword Dragon Guard, but Shangguan Min's disciple.
Beitang Lingsu took his people down the mountain, and from a distance he saw a girl in red standing at the foot of the mountain.
"Commander, this girl is looking for Mr. Dugu." The guards guarding the mountain saluted to Lingsu of Beitang. Mo Qingchen and Lingsu of Beitang were dealt with by the outside affairs of the city lord's mansion, and all the guards called them commanders.
The girl with her back facing Beitang Lingsu turned around and looked at Beitang Lingsu. The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, and was full of heroic eyebrows. She was wearing a red dress and a scimitar hung around her waist. She looked like a hero who was walking in the world.
"My name is Yingying. I want to find the young master who saved me yesterday. If the City Lord's Mansion does not allow him to enter, can you help me call him down? I want to thank him in person." The girl looked at Ling Su of Beitang and said.
"Miss Ying is so polite. The visitor from the Divine Soldier City is a guest. As the master, Dugu should save you yesterday. He is not the only one who saves you, so there is no need to go to heart. I will help bring Miss Ying's wishes, so I don't need to thank you in person." Beitang Lingsu said politely.
"Why do you want to make a decision for him? Is he not wanting to see me?" Yingying frowned slightly.
"Miss Ying, please come back. I hope you have fun in Shenbing City." Beitang Lingsu said lightly, and left with two guards. She was going down the mountain and wanted to go to the school in Beicheng. In the big box carried by the guards were some wooden weapons that Mu Yan ordered for the children of the martial arts class in the school a few days ago. Beitang Lingsu would send it to him personally and announced that the school would be on a day off tomorrow, so that everyone would have the opportunity to attend the auction.
Yingying frowned and looked at Beitang Lingsu's back, then looked up at the Lord's Mansion of the Divine Soldier City, which was halfway up the hillside of Xuanming Mountain and was hidden by green trees, and turned around and left.
Beitang Lingsu did not make his own decision not to let Dugu Ao meet Yingying. First, Dugu Ao is sick now and is recuperating. Second, Beitang Lingsu is very clear. Even if she told Dugu Ao about this, with Dugu Ao's personality, he would not be able to go down the mountain to meet that girl.
Dugu Ao took the medicine prescribed by Xiao Yuesheng for him and slept for most of the day. He finally woke up in the evening. He felt much clearer and better health.
Dugu Ao went out and ran into Tuoba Yan, holding Xiao Xing'er and passing by not far away. Tuoba Yan saw Dugu Ao and walked over, looking at Dugu Ao with concern, "Uncle Dugu, are you getting better?"
"It's much better." Dugu Ao nodded, and saw Xiao Xing'er smiling at him. A smile flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to hug Xiao Xing'er. When he was about to hold him, he took his hand back and took two steps back, turned around and sneeze, then turned around and said, "I'm stained with the cold, you can stay away from me."
"Oh." Tuoba Yan nodded.
"Where is Xiao Tian'er?" Dugu Ao asked Tuoba Yan. He remembered that Mo Qingchen came to find him early in the morning, but he didn't say anything. He called Xiao Yuesheng over and left.
"Uncle Xiaotian'er went out to sea to pick up my uncle and Qin Zheng." Tuoba Yan said, "I was going to go to Uncle Dugu, but unfortunately Uncle Dugu got sick."
Dugu Ao was stunned for a moment and said, "I forgot yesterday. The storm is so strong that there may be dangers on Mu Lin and A Zheng. How long has Xiao Tian'er been away?"
Tuoba Yan sighed: "Uncle Xiaotian'er has been away for most of the day and can't catch up. Uncle Dugu will wait at home."
"Okay." Dugu Ao nodded, thinking that Mu Lin was there, there shouldn't be too big of a problem. He couldn't catch up with Mo Qingchen at this moment, so he could only wait in the Divine Soldier City. As for whom he saved yesterday, Dugu Ao didn't remember it at all. At that time, he took out a person from the sea and threw it onto the shore, without even looking at it...
On April 15th, the weather was sunny and the Shenbing City became lively early in the morning.
Mu Yan is still recovering from her injuries and cannot go out. The auction meeting was handed over to Beitang Lingsu. Last time, it was an auction chaired by Shangguan Min himself, but this time Shangguan Min was also healing her injuries. The person who presided over the auction was replaced by Shangguan Ke.
Shangguan Ke and Shangguan Min are twin brothers, with similar appearances, but their figures and temperaments are different. At first, many people didn't recognize them, and they thought Shangguan Min suddenly gained weight.
The auction was still very smooth, and no one dared to come out to provoke the Divine Soldier City. Although the three Divine Soldiers and Weapons auctioned were extremely attractive, many people were ready to move, but they did not dare to move.
Not to mention Shangguan Min, Mu Yan, as the city lord of the Divine Weapon City, everyone still remembers the scene when Mu Yan fought with Wushuang Sect leader Bai Yuan on this Divine Weapon Altar the day before yesterday, so many people are thief-hearted but not brave. After weighing their strength, they can only watch the fun. After all, there are only a few people who have the financial resources to buy a weapon.
There is one rule in the city of Divine Soldier City: Anyone who buys weapons at the auction can get the protection of the City Lord's Mansion before leaving Divine Soldier City. As long as anyone on the territory of Divine Soldier City, no matter who it is, he wants to take action to grab the auctioned weapons, he will only have one end and die!
As for whether the buyer will be robbed after leaving the Divine Soldier City, the Divine Soldier City will not care about it. Generally, those who have such financial resources and can buy weapons are not ordinary people, and they must have thought of a way out.
The second auction conference ended successfully. Bai Yuan took the disciples of Wushuang Sect to participate, but did not bid. Even though Mu Yan specifically asked Beitang Lingsu to pick a weapon that would definitely make Bai Yuan like. After the auction conference, Bai Yuan did not choose to leave, obviously waiting for the competition with Shangguan Min.
As for Shangguan Min, he had learned from Tuoba Yan yesterday that Bai Yuan insisted on fighting with him again. His first reaction at that time was: "Langlang, your mother and Old Man Bai were tied. If the master loses to Old Man Bai, will he not have to meet people in the future?"
Tuoba Yan nodded and said, "It's probably true."
Then Shangguan Min asked Tuoba Yan to call Xiao Yuesheng over and take his pulse, saying that he would take the medicine and get better early and prepare for the competition with Bai Yuan, and he would never lose.
Dugu Ao, who was infected with wind and cold yesterday, took another medicine before going to bed last night. Xiao Yuesheng added sleep-aiding ingredients to the medicine. When Dugu Ao woke up again, it was almost noon and his health was completely recovered.
When Dugu Ao changed his clothes and went out and arrived near the Divine Armor, the auction conference had already ended.
Dugu Ao turned around and wanted to go back to the city lord's mansion, but heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw a girl in red running out of the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of him.
Dugu Ao frowned, took two steps back, opened the distance, and asked indifferently: "Who are you? How do you know that my surname is Dugu?"
The girl in red was the Yingying who had been to the foot of Xuanming Mountain to look for Dugu Ao yesterday. When she saw Dugu Ao's completely unfamiliar eyes, she looked slightly stunned. She seemed to have never expected Dugu Ao to remember her: "The day before yesterday, Mr. Dugu saved me at the beach."
"Well, no thanks." Dugu Ao threw down a few words, turned around and strode away after he finished speaking.
Yingying chased her forward a few steps and reached out to pull Dugu Ao's sleeve. Dugu Ao hit her three meters away with a backhand.
Yingying covered her chest with an ugly expression and almost fell down. Dugu Ao said coldly: "I have said it, don't thank me, stay away from me!"
Dugu Ao walked away after he finished speaking. Yingying lowered her eyes and covered a dark light in her eyes...
Dugu Ao returned to the city lord's mansion and went to Mu Yan's place.
Although Mu Yan didn't go out, she had already gotten out of bed because Xiao Yuesheng specially prepared some healing medicine for her, and she got better after taking it.
"Senior Sister." Dugu Ao walked in and called Mu Yan.
"Dugu, come and sit." Mu Yan spoke in the study room of the compartment and let Dugu Ao go over.
Dugu Ao sat down opposite Mu Yan. Mu Yan put down the book in her hand, looked at Dugu Ao's face, nodded slightly and said, "It seems that it's already gone. How does the wind and cold taste?"
Dugu Ao shook his head: "Not good."
Mu Yan gave Dugu Ao a white look: "When did you become so kind? You insisted on saving someone the day before yesterday, and don't see how long you haven't slept? Although we don't have too many people, we don't lack one of you."
Dugu Ao frowned and said, "I was away for so long before and couldn't help. I wanted to do more when I came back."
"Well, you are not wrong, either." Mu Yan looked at Dugu Ao and said, "Is there anything you need to tell me about this trip to Qingluan Country?"
Dugu Ao nodded: "Yes, senior sister should have known about Qingyu's arrangement for A Zheng to marry her. At that time, I and Mu Lin's troops separated from Fengming City. Qingyu sent the person to pursue me was Qing Yan."
"It seems that Qing Yan was valued by Qing Yu after returning to Qing Luan Kingdom." Mu Yan nodded slightly, "But if he was not stupid, he should know that Qing Luan Kingdom is the world of women. Qing Yu is just using him, and he is just a pawn."
Dugu Ao nodded: "He knew, so I didn't fight him at that time, I just talked to him and left."
Mu Yan was a little surprised: "Dugu, do you mean that Qing Ying chased you, and then you chose to reason with him? This is not your personality! Don't forget that you were once a lone killer who was the mighty man in the world!"
Dugu Ao coughed twice: "Senior sister, don't make fun of me. You are the master when it comes to reasoning. I just chatted with him for a few words. He and Qingyu are not the same as each other, so he will naturally be moved."
"Dugu, you have grown a lot, this is a good thing. Qing Yan was the most proud disciple of my second master. He is not weak in strength. You should not be his opponent now. I was wondering, if Qing Yan really had backbone, would he choose to rebel, completely change the ancestral system of Qingluan Kingdom, and steal Qing Yu's throne." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"He must have wanted to do this, but it may not be possible whether he can succeed." Dugu Ao said.
"Yeah." Mu Yan nodded, "I wish him success. I don't discriminate against women, but that old bitch Qingyu really makes me disgusted. I won't mention her anymore. I have something to ask you. Think carefully before answering me."
"Senior sister just say it." Dugu Ao nodded.
"How did we meet, you shouldn't have forgotten? At first I caught you, Qin Zheng wanted to save you, and it also fell into my hands, and she was willing to give her life for you. We all know that she likes you, and you should also know very well." Mu Yan looked at Dugu Ao and said.
Dugu Ao frowned and remained silent, and then heard Mu Yan continue, "You have Qin Zheng in your heart, but you don't just treat her as your sister and have no other feelings. I don't know, you may not be that clear, but you should figure this out."
"I..." Dugu Ao hesitated.
"I don't want you to express your opinion to me now, you can think about this matter carefully. The reason I want to talk to you about this is because if nothing unexpected happens, my elder brother will take Qin Zheng to the Shenbing City in a few days. There is a marriage contract that we disagree with but in fact. With Ye Minghua, you must be clear that she is not without men who likes you, but she has been thinking about you. She really likes you. She has liked you for many years before she rejects the possibility of being with others." Mu Yan looked at Dugu Ao and said seriously, "
Everyone is adults, don’t drag on the relationship. If you really think clearly, there is no relationship between men and women with her, and you don’t want to develop any relationship between men and women. I hope that when you see her again, you will explain it to her clearly and make her give up. Qin Zheng is not a pretentious girl, she will accept it. But if you think you like her a little and want to give up, I hope you are more serious and don’t look like you are pure and desire all day long. Be a normal man and learn more from Xiao Yue'er.”
"I...I'll think about it again..." Dugu Ao frowned and said, "I don't know either, I haven't thought about these things."
"I haven't even thought about marrying a wife at such an old age. Do you think you have any brain problems?" Mu Yan gave Dugu Ao a blank look.
"Isn't Mu Lin the same..." Dugu Ao expressed dissatisfaction.
Mu Yan slapped the table: "What's the same? My elder brother said with a clear attitude that he didn't want to get married, it's not that he had never thought about getting married. You didn't even have the attitude, so why bother?"
Dugu Ao said weakly: "When did I have any reason in front of my senior sister..."
"Okay, go back and think about it carefully. There are still a few days left. If you don't understand what you are thinking, you can go and chat with Xiao Yue'er. They are all men, so let him analyze and explain it to you." Mu Yan waved her hand and signaled that Dugu Ao could get out.
Dugu Ao stood up and went out, and happened to see Xiao Yuesheng holding Qi Yuchan and going out.
"How are you doing in Dugu?" Qi Yuchan looked at Dugu Ao and asked.
Dugu Ao nodded and said, "It's all gone."
"Dugu Xiaoao, we are going out for a walk now and we will come back to have a drink with you." Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile.
As a result, Xiao Yuesheng took Qi Yuchan and walked forward two steps, and turned around and found that Dugu Ao was still behind them.
Xiao Yuesheng frowned: "Dugu Xiaoao, are you going out too?"
Dugu Ao said: "I'll go for a walk with you."
Xiao Yuesheng and Qi Yuchan were both stunned for a moment. Xiao Yuesheng reached out and touched Dugu Ao's forehead: "I don't have a fever either! I'm going for a walk, why are you doing with me? If you're too idle, go and find Xiaotian's wife to see if there is anything you can do."
"I'm just going with you and won't bother you." Dugu Ao frowned.
"Your existence is just to disturb you!" Xiao Yuesheng felt that Dugu Ao was a little stupid.
Qi Yuchan smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go together. It's rare that Dugu wants to play with us."
To be continued...
