Chapter Forty-Seven: The City Lord Visits
"What the hell do you have to believe it? ”
Zhen Qingol is about to collapse, what kind of world is this, he actually asked someone to apprentice, is this God's punishment for him, and also, where is he obscene, at best, he has some characteristics.
"I won't believe you unless you make me a rune master first. Du Shaofu said.
"Hmph, you kid is so calculating, if you don't apprentice, why should I teach you. ”
Zhen Qingol didn't do it, he knew that this kid was more shrewd than a thief, and he wanted him to teach him if he didn't apprentice, and after teaching, this kid would definitely not admit it. So he must not be led by this kid, Jiang is old and spicy, he doesn't believe that he can't even deal with a kid now.
Du Shaofu shrugged his shoulders, looked at Zhen Qingol, and said, "If you want me to apprentice, you have to show some sincerity, what if I am fooled?"
"You ......"
Zhen Qingol is very aggrieved, really aggrieved.
Taking a deep breath, Zhen Qingol suppressed his angry temper and said: "Okay, I'll let you become a spirit rune master first, but you also have to promise me a condition, my Yuan Shen is too weak now, you have to give me a little Xuan Qi, rest assured, it won't do you any harm, you will recover after one night, otherwise, I won't have the strength to teach you to become a spirit rune master again, you can find someone else to teach you, it's a big deal, we will break up." ”
Du Shaofu hesitated, and when it came to Xuanqi, he really didn't believe Zhen Qingol.
But to be honest, Du Shaofu still wanted to become a spirit rune master very much in his heart, pondering, and hesitated for a while.
"Okay, I promise you. ”
Du Shaofu compromised, and at this time, he could only gamble once, who really wanted to become a spirit rune master.
"Humph!"
Zhen Qingol snorted coldly, glaring at Du Shaofu hatefully, he felt that he had suffered a loss today, as the saying goes, ginger is old and spicy, but he didn't take advantage of it at all today. He has a feeling that he has played with eagles all his life, and finally was bitten by a bird, as Zhen Qingol said, it is indeed just a simple need for Du Shaofu's Xuanqi. Under Zhen Qingol's instructions, Du Shaofu directly injected Xuan Qi into the small tower, and then a dazzling light flashed on the small tower, and an ancient aura spread out.
Du Shaofu was surprised, remembering that he had also tried to inject Xuan Qi into the small tower last time, but the small tower did not react at all at that time.
When the Xuan Qi on Du Shaofu's body had a feeling of exhaustion, Zhen Qingchu, who had already entered the small tower again, came out and said to Du Shaofu: "The Xuan Qi on the kid's body is more refined and much more than I imagined, almost, if you continue to consume it, it will be a little harmful to your future cultivation, wait for me to recover for three days, and after three days, I will teach you to become a spirit rune master, within these three days, you also go to prepare some materials, remember, don't let anyone know about my storage, including your closest people." ”
Then Zhen Qingol and Du Shaofu said a long list, all of which were the names of some elixirs, and Du Shaofu had never even heard of many elixir names.
A lot of Xuan Qi was taken away by Zhen Qingol, and Du Shaofu also urgently needed to breathe in pranayama, and after writing down the list, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to breathe and recover from the cultivation method of the golden-winged Dapeng bird.
In the early morning of the next day, in the shadow of the morning sun and the morning mist, the stone city awakened its vitality.
Outside the Du family, it was very lively, Ye Baolin, the lord of Shicheng City, came to visit the Du family in person with the pearl in his hand, saying that he wanted to thank Du Shaofu, the young master of the Du family, for saving his beloved daughter Ye Zijin in the Wudu Mountains.
When the news came out, it immediately spread throughout Stone City, and as a person from Stone City, there would definitely be no one who didn't know about the Ye family.
When it comes to the five major families in Shicheng, no matter how many open and secret battles other families have fought over the years, no one would think that any family can be stronger than the Ye family, even the Du family, which has become more and more popular recently.
The reason is that the Ye family has been in control of Shicheng for five full generations, and Shicheng has been the first family of the Ye family for five consecutive city lords, and this alone is enough to show that the Ye family has always been the first family among the five major families that cannot be shaken.
It is said that there is still a month, that is, the triennial competition between the younger generations of the five major families in Shicheng, and at this time, the city lord personally went to the Du family, or visited a descendant of the Du family, which made people with a heart can't help but have some thoughts in their hearts.
Early in the morning, when Du Shaofu's handprint stopped spitting, he already felt that there were people outside the courtyard.
Du Shaofu walked out of the courtyard, and what came was a clever young man dressed as a servant.
The young man was extremely polite and respectful to Du Shaofu, and introduced himself as soon as they met, saying that Du Hai, the manager of the backyard, had been severely punished by the head of the front yard because of his unfavorable work and his own pockets, and at the same time, he would be the head of the backyard in the future, and he would be at the disposal of Du Shaofu's arrangements at any time.
Du Shaofu nodded, he had also seen this person, the son of the old servant of the Du family, who had lived in the Du family since he was a child, but he had no impression. However, for Lin Bo's efficiency and employment, he really sighed in his heart, worthy of being the old man of the Du family, and the uncle also valued the person who was not very eye-catching, and arranged a person who is not usually very eye-catching to be the head of the backyard, I am afraid that it is also deliberately because of himself.
From the mouth of this young man, Du Shaofu knew about the city lord's coming, and after asking the general reason, he couldn't help frowning.
The drunkard father was not in the room again, and after washing up, Du Shaofu had no choice but to go to the hall.
When Du Shaofu arrived in the hall, there were already a lot of people sitting in the wide hall, and in some positions at the top, Du Shaofu saw the eldest uncle Du Zhenwu, the second uncle Du Zhixiong, and a few people who were usually difficult to see the Du family.
The elders of these Du families rarely have roads, but they have a high status, and sometimes they are not even below the patriarch.
Under the eldest uncle and others, there are also many elders who sit together, and there are many outstanding young people in the clan, Du Yu and Du Xue are among them.
However, Du Shaofu did not see Du Hao, Du Yan and others, it is estimated that he was too seriously injured yesterday and will not be able to see anyone today, otherwise they would naturally have to attend such an important occasion.
As soon as Du Shaofu stepped into the hall, he immediately felt a lot of unkind eyes, as if many elders of the Du family were looking at him through gritted teeth, but they could only hold back.
On the other side of the hall, Du Shaofu saw a lot of strangers, the first one was a heroic middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a robe, with a smile on his face, looking extremely talkative, and with a temperament that was not angry but powerful.
"It's a lot of strength. ”
This is Du Shaofu's feeling of heroic middle-aged, in the middle-aged body, Du Shaofu felt a different breath from the uncle Du Zhenwu, this breath is not as strong as the breath on the uncle's body, and it seems to be a little lighter.
But the intuition is to tell Du Shaofu, it is this breezy and indifferent breath, but it is stronger than the strength of the uncle.
"Is this Ye Baolin, the city lord of Stone City? ”
Du Shaofu looked up at the heroic middle-aged, he had heard of the name of Ye Baolin, the city lord of Shicheng, but he had never seen it, I heard that this time it was the city lord who came, there was no doubt that it was the city lord who was sitting on the top.
When he was very young, Du Shaofu was taught by the teacher of Du's private school, he was familiar with a lot of books, and he also heard a lot about the outside world, Shicheng is just a border city of the empire, there is a county in the city, there is a government above a county, and a government is directly under the jurisdiction of the empire.
Of course, there are still a lot of empires on this continent, and there are often imperial wars, with countless casualties every time, but fortunately, Shicheng is a border city, and it does not meet other empires, and it is not usual to see those imperial army battles, which can be regarded as a paradise-like existence.
And when his eyes fell on a young girl beside the heroic middle-aged man, Du Shaofu's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little surprised just now, when did he save the daughter of the city lord, it turned out that he was the daughter of the city lord.
Du Shaofu looked at the girl with a straight face, and after looking carefully, her appearance was really good, not worse than Zhu Xue of Xuanfu Gate, and even compared with the woman in the power suit who robbed her.
It's just that if the two are to be compared, the two temperaments are different, the woman in the strong suit is noble and tall, but the girl in front of her is a little more cold.
"I've seen the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the elders of the clan"
Du Shaofu's look was also a glance, it seemed that the people from the Ye family had been chatting with the uncle and others for a long time, and quickly walked to the side of the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the elders of the clan and saluted, as for the so-called Du family members, Du Shaofu didn't pay attention to it.
"Shaofu, let me introduce you, this is City Lord Ye, salute quickly, as for Miss Zijin, the daughter of City Lord Ye, I think you already know it. Du Zhenwu smiled and introduced Du Shaofu.
"I've seen the Ye City Lord. When Du Shaofu heard this, his guess was correct, and the heroic middle-aged Ye Baolin, the city lord of Shicheng, immediately bowed.
"Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, what city lord, just call me Uncle Ye, I came this time to thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Zijin would be in danger now, what a young hero, I have another amazing talent in Shicheng." ”
Ye Baolin looked at Du Shaofu and smiled slightly, he could see that he was really grateful, and then waved his hand, and behind him was a man dressed in armor and dressed as a soldier stepped forward and handed a three-foot-long brocade box to Du Shaofu.
Ye Baolin smiled at Du Shaofu, motioned to Du Shaofu's brocade box, and said: "Shaofu Xian nephew accept it, this is the 'Ink Spirit Sword' collected by my Ye family, although it is not enough to represent the preciousness of Zijin in my heart, but the power should be my little heart." ”
