Chapter 10
"What time is it?"
Yin Su glanced at the messy surroundings and frowned slightly.
"You just got married, and you're in a hurry to go back home after being out for a while. What are you going back for? To see your wife Jiang?"
The boy stretched his head in front of him and shook it playfully, prolonging the tone, which seemed to be asking for a beating.
Yin Su smiled at him, put his hand on his shoulder, gently rolled up a tuft of black hair with his fingers, and pulled it hard towards him. His very light eyes fell on him, and he asked with a smile: "Want to die?"
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, how can you be so weak against jokes, let go, let go, you're hurting me." The young man slapped the back of Yin Su's hand in pain, but it didn't scare him at all. His hand was like fast iron, very hard, and it hurt when he hit him.
There were tears in his eyes, and his resentful eyes were filled with resentment and grievance.
"Here it comes." Yin Su stared at the tall, azure-blue figure below, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He glanced at the young man and pushed him forward expressionlessly. The young man let out a cry and staggered, falling from the second floor. His frightened face instantly widened.
"Help, help." He shouted for help, his frightened eyes fixed on the idle and annoying figure on the third floor.
His eyes were full of resentment, as if to say, Yin Su, are you trying to kill me? Without even giving him time to react, he just fell headfirst.
The people below screamed and dodged, some were anxious, and some shouted loudly.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a round-necked blue brocade robe heard the sound. He was originally talking gently with someone, but his eyes suddenly became stern. He jumped up, grabbed him steadily, and brought him to the ground.
"Lord Luo has great skills."
"Lord Luo is a very kind person. A few years ago, there was a drought outside the city, which affected the city. Lord Luo paid for porridge for three months at his own expense. He didn't let us go hungry, and we managed to hold on until the relief grain from the court arrived."
"Yes, it is a blessing for us people that Luo City has such a city lord."
He is actually... a kind-hearted person.
That's really interesting. He likes to see good people fall from the altar, tear off the hypocritical mask, expose the real scene, make it impossible for them to regain their former glory, make them disappear in the eyes of people's respect, and be replaced by endless ridicule and mockery.
Yin Su raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips and went downstairs.
He walked to the side of the frightened young man, bowed to the man who saved him, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with fear and uncertainty. He pretended to be relieved and said, "I am Yin Su. Thank you for saving my friend. I didn't let him fall. Otherwise, I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"How could he fall from the roof?" City Lord Luo kept looking at the two of them, and when his gaze fell on Yin Su, he was a little surprised.
"Brother, you don't know that my friend is a naughty man. He relied on his little leg skills to climb walls and over rooftops. He slipped while showing off, and that's why the accident happened."
"You call him a friend? I see there's a big age difference between you two. I thought you two were... were... brothers. You two are not from this place, right?"
In fact, when talking about brothers, these two people really don't look like each other, it's because Master Yin looks too handsome and enchanting, not like an ordinary person, while this young man has an above-average appearance. He didn't know what words to use to describe the two of them, so he said the word brothers.
The young man glanced at Yin Su angrily and muttered, "Maybe he wasn't before, but he is now."
City Lord Luo: "Oh? Are you settling here?"
The young man smiled and said with a hint of teasing in his voice, "I am not. I am from Fujian. I came to Luocheng to discuss business. He is the son-in-law of the Jiang family. He is so rich now that even I have to curry favor with him."
Yin Su glanced at him with a forced smile, his eyes filled with surging threats that then disappeared into his shallow pupils.
The boy shrank his neck and hid aside, becoming an invisible person.
City Lord Luo suddenly realized what was going on. It was said that the son-in-law chosen by the Second Miss Jiang was a very good man, with both martial arts and knowledge, and he was humble and polite to others. Even his wife couldn't stop praising him.
He had always been skeptical because he had seen someone more handsome before, his sworn brother, the famous Lord of Yuncheng in his youth - Xiao Chang.
He and Brother Xiao are about ten years apart in age, and the two can talk about anything. He treats him as his own brother, and every year he sets aside a few days to visit him in Yuncheng.
When he was ten years old, he fell into the water while playing in the suburbs and was about to die. Brother Xiao passed by and saved his life. Later, when his family prepared gifts to thank him, they learned that he was the Lord of Yuncheng. In addition, because of his great martial arts skills, they followed his lead from then on.
When he saw Master Yin today, he felt that he was 50% similar to Brother Xiao when he was young, which made him dazed for a moment.
City Lord Luo's eyes suddenly darkened, and he wanted to write a letter and send it to Kyoto, thousands of miles away.
City Lord Luo looked at Yin Su and immediately invited him warmly: "Mr. Yin, bring your little friend with you. Would you like to have a drink with us?"
After he finished speaking, the young man on the side was shocked, and his dark eyes stared in disbelief at City Lord Luo's unusually happy face.
No, is it really good for a city lord to be so unguarded? Even if Yin Susheng is handsome, he won't be obsessed with him.
The plan No. 2 he had prepared was strangled in the cradle before it could even be implemented. So what was the point of all the hard work he had endured from planning day and night?
Yin Su bowed and said, "In that case, thank you City Lord Luo for your invitation. My friend and I will respectfully obey your command."
With everyone's gazes respectfully bidding them farewell, Yin Su and City Lord Luo entered Wanpin Tower one after the other. Even the two adults who had followed City Lord Luo to drink at the beginning had to stand aside.
"Young man, come here quickly." Someone shouted.
The young man frowned in dissatisfaction, staring at the backs of the few people, with a shadow in his eyes. He retorted unhappily: "A bunch of brainless people, what little boy? I have a name, Zou Yuan."
He reluctantly went in.
He wanted to see how Yin Su would approach City Lord Luo.
According to what we have investigated in the past few days, the mayor of Luo City does not seem to be hospitable and does not like to talk to strangers, let alone actively invite strangers to drink. This is indeed a bit abnormal.
The box was quite spacious, and there was incense burning inside, but the fragrance was not strong.
Zou Yuan looked around and found that there were only five people including him.
City Lord Luo sat in the first seat, Yin Su was arranged to the right of City Lord Luo by the other two, Zou Yuan sat to the right of Yin Su, and the other two sat to the left of City Lord Luo.
"You two have never been to Los Angeles. Today, the waiter prepared some local specialties. You should really try them."
"By the way, where is Brother Yin from, what do his parents do, and why did they agree to let Brother Yin marry into the Jiang family." City Lord Luo asked casually while pouring wine.
Yin Su: "I am from Yuncheng. I have been an orphan since I was a child. I was adopted by a hunter, but the hunter passed away not long ago."
Upon hearing this, City Lord Luo's hand that was pouring the wine suddenly trembled, and he quickly concealed the shock in his eyes. A few drops of wine dripped down the rim of the glass and landed on the table.
"What happened to City Lord Luo?" one of them asked.
"It seems that it was right to let City Lord Luo go out to inspect the people's sentiments today. Otherwise, how could he have met Brother Yin and this... um... young man? I think City Lord Luo must be happy from the bottom of his heart to meet them."
City Lord Luo straightened his face, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a rare encounter."
He looked at Yin Su again and asked, "Why did you decide to come to Luo City? Isn't it good to stay in Yun City?"
Yin Su smiled humbly: "I heard that Luocheng is the safest place. Many people want to settle down here. It's a pity that it's already overcrowded. It's really not easy to settle down here."
"Brother Yin, what you said is true. None of the three nearby cities are as safe as Luo City. Luo City has our Lord Luo to uphold his power, so those scoundrels dare not come."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying, "Over the years, there have always been people who wanted to take over Luo City, but they all failed. Even if they were given another ten years, they would not be able to capture Luo City."
"Why? Is there some treasure guarding this Luo City?" Zou Yuan asked curiously.
"There is no treasure, but everything has its weaknesses, and Los Angeles' weakness..."
"Before I knew it, the side dishes have all been served. You two should stop talking and let Brother Yin and the young boy eat something first."
Before the man could finish his words, City Lord Luo cleverly interrupted him. He looked at everyone sitting there with calm and gentle eyes, raised his right hand slightly, and with a slight turn of his wrist, he pointed in the direction of the wooden table, which was the delicacy that had just been served.
"Yes, yes, City Lord Luo is right. Brother Yin, young man, come, let's start eating."
Zou Yuan looked at Yin Su. He had eaten his meal in vain because City Lord Luo refused to say anything.
Half an hour had passed since the meal. After saying goodbye to everyone, Yin Su left Wanpin Building and strolled along Changming Street with Zou Yuan.
Zou Yuan: "A Su, this City Lord Luo is very alert, what are you going to do?"
Yin Su's gentle eyes suddenly smiled, and what he said left Zou Yuan confused.
"Why rush? Someone will take the initiative to inform you later."
Zou Yuan curled his lips: "Tell it to me on his own initiative? Is that person stupid?"
Having said that, he did not doubt Yin Su's words. Since he said so, he should be sure. He was just curious about how that person would tell him proactively.
"I see that City Lord Luo has a very good impression of you, so you must seize this opportunity."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from behind.
"Brother Yin, please stay." The two adults who were beside City Lord Luo just now hurried over. Their cheeks were flushed, and they supported their slightly bent knees with their hands, gasping for breath.
"Brother Yin, I didn't expect you two to be so agile."
"Is there anything wrong, my lords? City Lord Luo has just left." Yin Su turned around slowly, a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes, and the look he gave the two of them was full of inquiry and scrutiny.
The two men recovered, smiled at each other, and walked to both sides of Yin Su.
"Brother Yin, we are not looking for City Lord Luo, we are looking for you."
