Chapter 261 Wu Buxie's hobby, spending money to buy women
"Fu Kun, you take people to Ghost Wolf Valley to check out what's going on. Come back quickly." Wu Xiao's face looked ugly. He wanted to go and check it out himself, but then he thought of Ye Feng who was nearby. If he left Qingyuan City and any emergency occurred, it would be difficult to control the situation.
"As ordered!"
Fu Kun did not hesitate at all, turned around and led six guards to the outside of Qingyuan City. He knew very well that this matter was full of weirdness, no wonder Wu Xiao was so solemn.
Seeing Fu Kun leave, Wu Xiao's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and he said coldly: "No matter who you are, I, Wu Xiao, will never admit defeat easily. It is still unknown who will win."
He looked at the guards not far away and said, "Go and tell the guards to stand in formation and be ready to fight at any time."
"As ordered!"
Several guards immediately went to convey the order.
Wu Xiao did not hesitate. He walked towards Qingyuan City. He also wanted to check the city wall to see if there was anything else that needed to be prepared.
……
"Your humble servant greets His Excellency, Lord Zhenguojun."
Ye Feng and others followed Huang Tong to Qingshan Town. They went straight to the outside of a house and saw a gray-haired man. He was Mi Ling, the town official of Qingshan Town.
Knowing that the young man in front of him was the recently famous Zhenguo Jun Ye Feng, he knelt down in front of Ye Feng with a respectful look on his face.
"Lord Mi, there is no need to be so polite. I just happened to pass by Qingshan Town. I heard Huang Tong introduce the simple and honest folk customs of Qingshan Town, so I wanted to come and take a look." Ye Feng said lightly. The cultivation level of Mi Ling in front of him was actually at the peak of the innate realm. For a town official of a small town, it was a bit of a waste of talent.
"Zhen Guojun, Mr. Huang, please come in!"
Mi Ling made a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng and Huang Tong.
Many cavalrymen and hunters stayed outside the yard.
The small courtyard in front of us can't accommodate so many people.
About half an hour later, Mi Ling came to invite Ye Feng, Huang Dong and others to the living room, where they smelled a burst of fragrance.
I saw firewood burning in the middle, and there was a huge pot with soup boiling inside. On the table next to it, there was a large basin of silver palm-sized fish.
"Your Excellency Zhenguo Jun and Mr. Huang, we are in a hurry and have no time to prepare dishes. Let's just have a simple meal." Mi Ling looked at Ye Feng and Huang Tong with some apology.
"Lord Zhenguojun, these fish are very delicious. They were caught from the underground river we just passed through." Huang Tong invited Ye Feng to sit down and introduced them to Ye Feng.
"sit down!"
After Ye Feng sat down, he slowly spoke to Su Hong, Wang Changhao and others.
After everyone sat down, Mi Ling put the cleaned silverfish into the boiling pot. As the aroma of the fish meat and the soup spread, the fragrance in the air became stronger.
Ye Feng started first and put the silverfish into his mouth. He felt that it was so pink and tender that it almost melted in his mouth. It had a refreshing taste and was indeed a rare delicacy.
“It tastes really good.”
Ye Feng nodded to Mi Ling and others.
When Mi Ling and the others heard Ye Feng's satisfied words, their tense expressions relaxed a lot and a smile appeared on their faces. They didn't know the character of the king, and they were afraid that he was used to the delicacies in the palace, and if he was not satisfied with the simple meal they prepared, they didn't know what kind of punishment he would suffer.
In this way, more than ten people ate all the silverfish. Mi Ling also found that the state king in front of him, although his status was second only to the current emperor, was kind and had no airs, and his inner guard was completely let down.
As the dinner ended, Huang Tong came to Mi Ling and whispered, "Mi Ling, we want to follow you into Baiyun City."
"Break into Baiyun City?" Mi Ling frowned secretly. He didn't quite understand what Huang Tong meant. Who dared to stop Ye Feng, the state king, from touring the country for His Majesty? Why did he use the word "blend in"?
Huang Tong immediately told Mi Ling the truth about the ambush they encountered outside Ghost Wolf Valley, and the fact that Wu Xiao and others were very likely to attack Zhenguojun.
"The three Wu Xiao brothers are so bold. They want to rebel." Mi Ling was surprised and couldn't help but speak.
Ye Feng looked at Mi Ling who was not far away and asked, "Baiyun City must be heavily guarded now. How can we get in?"
Seeing Mi Ling bowing, he smiled and said, "Lord Zhenguojun, you don't know that the mayor of Baiyun City is Wu Bushie. This man is extremely greedy for women. The surrounding villages and towns must send him a few young women every now and then, and the city gate will be opened for a period of time."
"It just so happens that my son Mi Cheng is the captain guarding the city gate of Baiyun City. As long as he gives the order to open the city gate, we can follow the team that sends the woman to him and sneak into the City Lord's Mansion."
Ye Feng frowned when he heard this: "Does this mean that Wu Bu Xie often forcibly robs women?"
"That's not the case. He regularly gives a sum of money to our officials to buy women for him." At this point, Mi Ling secretly glanced at Ye Feng, fearing that he would blame him, and smiled bitterly: "I think the King of Zhenguo knows that many people are very disgusted with raising daughters. If they can get a sum of money and send their daughters to Wu Bushie's mansion, even if they are just a maid, they will not have to worry about food and clothing."
"What's more, Wu Bushi has a hobby. Basically, he only sleeps with women sent to his mansion for one night, then sends someone to send them back and pays them a sum of money. His motto is that he will never sleep with a woman a second time."
"He is very principled. It's a matter of free buying and selling." Ye Feng said without comment. He felt helpless inside. This Wu Bushie was really willing to spend a lot of money. It's likely that he would spend a lot of money just buying women in a year.
The world of Kyushu in front of us has some similarities with the ancient China. The lives of ordinary people are also very hard. If they are exploited badly by officials, it is difficult for a whole family to have enough food. It is common for some families to sell their daughters to aristocratic families as maids or to rich people as concubines.
"I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. There are only ten of us who don't need to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion. We just need to sneak into Baiyun City."
Ye Feng knew very well that Wu Bushie's cultivation was only at the level of a minor grandmaster. As long as they sneaked into Baiyun City, it would not be difficult for him to show up and kill the other party as quickly as possible.
Moreover, they are now followed by the archer Huang Tong. With his archery skills, even if he cannot kill Wu Bushie, he can at least injure him severely. When the time comes, it will be easy for everyone to kill Wu Bushie.
"I will go and inquire about the situation and come back to report after finding out everything."
Mi Ling bowed and walked out of the yard. Not daring to delay, he quickly went to arrange and deal with the matter.
"Mr. Huang, your friend, will he not inform Wu Xiao?"
When Lao Xu saw Mi Ling leaving, he asked Huang Tong.
Everyone looked a little worried. After all, the Qingshan Town in front of them was Wu Xiao's territory.
"Don't worry, everyone. Mi Ling is an upright person. I have known him for nearly forty years and I know his character very well."
Huang Tong said with a confident look on his face.
Ye Feng did not say anything. Since he chose to follow Huang Tong to Qingshan Town, he would naturally not employ people if he doubted them, and trust people if he employed them. He did not think much about it. Even if Wu Xiao knew that they were in Qingshan Town, it would not matter.
