Douluo's Gourd

[Zhangtou Small Theater Ma Hongjun and the Devil 3 A Farce]

["Is this portrait of you?"

Ma Hongjun glanced at the long sword resting on his neck, and nodded calmly: "It's me."

The woman looked at the handsome guy on the wanted notice, and was a little puzzled: "Really?"

Ma Hongjun didn't change his face: "Yes, I was still very thin at that time."

The woman pointed angrily at the handsome face on the portrait: "This is not you."

Ma Hongjun smiled: "You say he's not me?"

The woman glanced at the portrait, then at the little fat man, and shook her head firmly: "No."

Ma Hongjun took a few steps back: "I said he's not me either, this fucking isn't me at all."

The woman forced herself to calm down, gritted her teeth and said, "What the hell is going on."

Ma Hongjun's small face was wrinkled, and he almost cried: "I still want to know what's going on! I was walking in the alley, and there was a girl in front of me holding a food box. The girl who lived there wanted to ask what was in it. Suddenly, a group of people jumped out, insisting that I molested the little girl and wanted me to arrest me and go to the government. You pressed them to the floor with your backhand. Then, you appeared and chased me with a sword for half a month without saying a word."

The woman nodded: "Oh! That's right."

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. ]

--------------

The outermost part of Baidi City was surrounded by a tall ring-shaped city wall. On top of the wall, scattered soldiers stood guard in a tense atmosphere.

There are serious soldiers patrolling the streets, no one dares to move around at will, the doors of the houses are closed tightly, and there is no sound.

The structure of Baidi City is quite unique. Its terrain gradually rises and bulges from the outside to the inside. In the center of the ring-shaped city wall is a tall and majestic castle that towers toward the sky. At this time, it is as bright as a lighthouse.

There are several ring-shaped inner walls that separate the castle from the houses one after another.

The closer to the center, the more noble and splendid the building appears.

City Hall.

The young city lord was prostrate on the table, processing heavy documents.

The sudden heavy snowstorm two days ago caused disasters to varying degrees in the 37 surrounding towns and all blocks of Baidi City.

Of course, this level of snow disaster is nothing to the local people who have lived here for thousands of years, and people have long been used to it.

However, the merchants and tourists who came to participate in the trade fair did not have such rich experience. In addition, not everyone could afford a guide, the language barrier, and some people with ulterior motives deliberately fished in troubled waters, so many troubles occurred.

Many tourists and businessmen are of high status, even if it is a trivial matter, the Public Security Department does not dare to make a decision, so they can only report to him layer by layer.

Such a cumbersome and troublesome process has caused him to stay at the desk for two consecutive days and one night without closing his eyes. Even with the cultivation base of the third ring, he can't withstand the physical and mental exhaustion.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, the guard knocked on the door and said respectfully: "My lord, Viscount Savage is asking to see you..."

Before the guards could finish their report, a blond man who looked somewhat similar to City Lord Baidi rushed in, and said loudly with excitement, "Wow, brother, you didn't see that scene! That slum Almost all of them turned into ice crystal pillars, it's really amazing! I will also hunt down a dragon beast to use as a spirit ring in the future."

"It's so noisy." City Lord Baidi rubbed his eyes, put down the document he had just finished approving, and said with a sigh: "I told you to call me City Lord outside... Forget it, say it I haven't seen you change for so many years.

I already knew about a dragon beast breaking into the city. Half an hour ago, I had sent ten Silver Armored Guards teams to deal with that dragon beast. Including the priest at the trading venue, it should be easy to catch. little things.

What else do you need, I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your nagging. "City Master Baidi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Oh yes, I met your intelligence officer Vasily on the road. He was covered in blood and he looked like he was breathing in and out. I asked someone to carry him to a doctor for treatment, but before he left He stuffed me with a piece of paper, and muttered that it was very important news that I had to give you as soon as possible, and after hearing what he said, I rushed over to find you immediately."

Savage slapped his head, quickly took out a crumpled note from the lining, glanced at it casually, and said:

"Brother, the casualty statistics are written on the paper."

City Lord Baidi closed his eyes and whispered, "Just read it to me. After reading the document for so long, I will squint for a while."

Savage nodded, widened his eyes, carefully identified the paper that was soaked in blood and barely read the words, and read: "...The statistics of casualties in the dragon beast raid incident: 287 dead, 164 missing, 479 People were injured to varying degrees.

Property damage: The estimated loss is 10000 gold coins.

Remarks: 27 people died in Yintiewei, 9 people were seriously injured, and 42 people were slightly injured.4 silver-maned horses died, 9 became insane, and 23 suffered injuries to varying degrees..."

City Lord Baidi remained indifferent, the guards at the gate were like statues, and the surrounding atmosphere was frozen and oppressive like a dark cloud.

The depression made Savage feel a little difficult to breathe. It was obviously winter, but he was already sweating profusely, his forehead was sweating, and sweat appeared on his palms.

At the end of the reading, he couldn't even hear what he was reading.

Although he is just a dandy, he also knows that, for a city that is holding a large-scale commercial event, the sudden siege of spirit beasts and such tragic casualties will definitely deal a very serious blow to its prestige .

In particular, in order to hold this winter fair, Baidi City has brought in many unimaginable favors and benefits.

If the traveling merchants and nobles who participated in the exhibition knew about it, the White Emperor City would be the biggest joke in the extreme north this year.

Savage's hands trembled uncontrollably, and the fluffy note seemed to weigh a thousand catties: "Brother, brother, what should we do?"

City Master Baidi let out a heavy breath, and the cold casualty count made his drowsy brain clear up a bit.

"Savic, you take my personal guards and go now..." Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of wailing outside the door.

With a bang, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a snow-white figure sneaked in from the guard's double-team.

The guards hurriedly stood in front of the lord, pointing their snow-white blades at the visitor of unknown origin.

"Sorry my lord, I didn't stop him."

Stop the fart! !

He looked at the elderly man lying on the ground who was surrounded by guards and howled constantly, and almost cursed.

That's Contra.

All of us together are not enough for others to fight with one hand.

The city lord gave each of them a kick. "What to stop, I really have no eyesight! This is a distinguished guest I invited, so hurry up and put away your weapons and get out of here."

City Lord Baidi didn't see the tired look on his face just now, his whole body was high-spirited and hot, waved away the guards beside him, and approached the old man step by step.

Not minding the dirt and ice on the old man's clothes, he smiled and helped the old man to the chair beside him, "Old Yan, why did you suddenly make yourself like this?"

The old man known as Yan Lao said tremblingly: "Oh, it's not that dragon cub who suffered a thousand swords. He didn't talk about martial arts and used dragon breath to sneak attack on me, a 110-year-old old man. He really froze to death."

Md is really shameless, you are an 83-level Contra, come to me and sell miserably.

If it wasn't for you, a bad old man, who didn't work hard, how could you not only let the dragon beast go, but also caused me to lose so many elites.

My mother was critical in my heart, but there was no change in her expression.

The Baidicheng doctrine said: "Old Yan, you are the great hero of my Baidicheng, how can you endure such grievances, it just so happens that I just bought a jar of good wine from the trade fair. Savage, you are now Go to the wine cellar to take out the wine and warm up Old Yan's body."

Brother, it was bought by my father, and he plans to hold a wine tasting meeting in a few days to show off to his friends.

Savage's eyes widened, and he winked wildly at City Master Baidi.

City Lord Baidi blinked and said that he would explain to his father when the time came.

Explain that you are a big-headed ghost, and I will definitely be the one to take the blame again.

Savage had a bitter face, and under the angry glaring of the Baidi City Lord, he could only walk away slowly with small steps reluctantly.

After a while, a mellow smell of wine spread into the room first, and then Savage walked in with a wine jar.

"Well, it smells so good when it's unopened..."

Just smelling the aroma of the wine, the soul power in the body seemed to be drunk, and it was running a little slower.

The old man didn't act anymore, so he didn't look like he was going to die or live. He watched City Lord Baidi unseal the seal with a full face, poured out the golden wine, and filled a glass.

Carefully lifted it up, put it to his lips, took advantage of the wine not paying attention, and drank it dry in one gulp.

"Uh... good wine, good wine!" The old man's pale face flushed suddenly, and then he belched heavily, the strong smell of alcohol immediately filled the whole room.

"The city lord is so lucky to be able to buy such a fine wine. The old man is also very lucky to be able to take this opportunity to drink such a sip."

The lord of Baidi City shook his head, "Oh, the old man is the hero of my Baidi City, so it doesn't matter if you have a few more drinks, Viscount Savage, quickly fill up the old man."

This drink is like a home away from home, like a family.

While talking and laughing, the two secretly made a verbal agreement.

The trade fair will help block the news of the soul beast attacking the city until Baidi City handles that area.

And Baidi City secretly lowered the overall tax quota for this trade fair.

After drinking enough, old man Yan patted his ass and left.When leaving, there is only a thin layer of bottom liquid left in the wine jar.

"Brother, are we being bullied by him like this?" Savage said angrily.

"Do you think he only represents himself? He's just a mouthpiece." City Lord Baidi glanced at him indifferently, then pointed to the empty wine jar: "I'll find a good wine jar to fill it up later, remember, keep the lid closed." As it is, don't let father see the flaw."

"Damn it, you will instruct me." Savage hugged the empty jar fiercely in his arms.

"Just now the old man said that dragon spirit beasts especially hold grudges. When that dragon comes to you, what will you do without Contra?"

City Lord Baidi picked up the tea, and said unhurriedly: "This is simple, I remember that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family of the Tiandou Empire has been collecting information about various dragon-like soul beasts for a long time, especially dragon-like soul beasts that are more than [-] years old. Beasts are worth thousands of gold."

"You want to... oh, as expected of the big brother, killing people with a knife kills two birds with one stone, that's great." If it wasn't for the inconvenient holding the jar in his hand, Savage would have knelt down and shouted **** immediately.

"If you know, get out of here, I still have a lot of things to do here." City Lord Baidi served tea to see off the guests.

I don't know if it is because the nourishing effect of tiger bone wine is remarkable. After drinking, not only did he not feel tired, but his body was not so tired, and his spirit improved a lot. He felt that he could live another day and night again.

After returning to the desk, just as he picked up the confidential document, there was another rapid knock on the closed door.

City Lord Baidi rubbed his temples wearily, "What's the matter!"

There was an urgent call from outside the door: "It's not good, Lord City Master, the blocked area was attacked by unknown people."

City Lord Baidi waved his hand to let the guards put the messenger into the room, and asked seriously: "It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs! How about the casualties?"

The messenger bowed his head and reported: "My lord, there were no casualties at the scene..."

"No casualties?"

"The guards on duty were stunned and put aside. They were all stunned by one blow, and there were no other injuries. The dragon blood and dragon scales in the safe room were not stolen. It's just that someone dug out a diameter in the center of the blockade area. The ten-meter-long crater and the surrounding snow also disappeared completely.

This matter is too bizarre, the chief did not dare to make a random decision, so he could only send his subordinates to ask your lord for advice. "

"So the other party wasted so much effort just to dig the soil and steal the snow?" City Lord Baidi racked his brains, but couldn't think of what the other party was going to do, and finally could only come to the conclusion: "It's just a bunch of stupid thieves, don't worry about it." them."
