Chapter 113 Good Show

Shen Ji had a proper smile on his face, and his behavior was particularly polite.

He first bowed to Yu Chi and apologized to him.

Then he looked at the city lord.

The city lord looked a little guilty. He had said a lot to Shen Ji on the bed, all of which showed his care and affection for Shen Ji.

But now?

Shen Ji put away the smile on his face, and his expression was a little indifferent.

"Lord City Lord, are you afraid that I don't know about this bounty notice all over the city?" The

city lord felt a little guilty in his heart, but he didn't know why. Seeing Shen Ji like this now, he actually remembered Shen Ji's crazy look not long ago.

Too similar.

He was not really afraid of Shen Ji, but it was just because of the Shen family.

Although he had fallen out with the Shen family because of Shen Ji in the past, the Shen family has developed rapidly in the past two years. Although it is not enough to threaten or suppress him,

it is still a big trouble. It is naturally best not to be an enemy of it.

Not to mention that there is an even more terrifying character standing in front of him now.

Not to mention that Yu Chi dared to attack the prince. According to the fifth prince, this doctor should be a master.

But he did not find even the slightest fluctuation of internal force in this doctor.

The city lord thought about it for a while, and still reached out to grab the hem of Shen Ji's clothes.

"I was possessed by a ghost for a while..."

Shen Ji sneered.

"Then why didn't this ghost take out your heart?"

He turned and looked at Yu Chi.

"I wonder if you are willing to let him go?"

Yu Chi raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Ji.

"What if I say no?"

Shen Ji was stunned, then smiled.

"Then I will have to turn around and leave."

The city lord panicked when he heard Shen Ji say this.

"Don't, don't leave me here, Shen Ji."

Most of his guards had already fallen, and most of those guarding outside were the people Shen Ji had just brought.

If Shen Ji really ignored him and left, he would die if he stayed here.

This beautiful doctor didn't know where she got this expert from, but Liang Zheng was not her opponent at all.

Shen Ji and Yu Chi looked at each other, and then Yu Chi looked at Gu Jue.

Gu Jue pursed his lips, stood aside, supporting Ye's mother, but stared straight at the city lord, wondering what he was thinking.

"You can take him away."

Yu Chi was relieved, and Shen Ji thanked Yu Chi and bowed to him again.

The city lord was pulled up from the ground by Shen Ji, and staggered out. When he reached the door, Yu Chi's voice came coldly from behind.

"However, I still have to warn the city lord again. You are not as high and mighty as you think. Five thousand taels, you can't even take a strand of my hair away."

The city lord hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

It was the first time for the people to see the city lord, who was used to being rude, be so ruthless. If it weren't for his status as the city lord, bones, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and so on would have been thrown at him.

Some of them even covered their faces and cried.

The children of some of them were snatched away by the city lord. They had no power and were not as powerful as the young master today, so they were naturally no match for the city lord. They

could only watch their children being snatched away.

After all the people and guards in the city lord's mansion had withdrawn, Yu Xinrou and the others began to clean up the courtyard that had been made a mess by the farce.

Gu Jue sent Ye's mother and Ye Yuan into the house first. They were quite frightened.

When he came out again, Yu Chi was holding a dustpan in his hand and was still cleaning up.

He walked to Yu Chi, took the things from his hand, and put them in the right place. After they finished cleaning up, they had time to sit together.

Yu Xinrou made tea for them. Yu Chi took a sip. The tea was thick, bitter and astringent.

Yu Chi pursed his lips, and some memories were brought back.

When she helped Yu Xinrou find Gu Jue, the tea Yu Xinrou made for him was like this. It was very thick, bitter and astringent.

Gu Jue patted Yu Chi's legs under the table. Yu Chi put down the cup and looked at him sideways.

"Your clothes..." Are they

really worth twelve thousand taels?

He remembered that they seemed to have used them as a cushion to sleep on the ground once?

Gu Jue was hesitant to speak, but Yu Chi understood what he meant.

"No."

"Then why did you tell the city lord that it was twelve thousand?"

Yu Chi shrugged.

"I just said that casually. It's up to him whether he believes it or not."

Gu Jue's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether the city lord believed it or not, but he almost believed it anyway.

Mu Bailinfeng asked Yu Chi.

"Just let him go like this?"

Yu Chi held the teacup, looked at the tea leaves floating in it, and raised the corners of his lips.

"His good days are still ahead."

"???"

Mu Bailinfeng and Gu Jue looked at each other, neither of them understood what Yu Chi meant, but Yu Chi just smiled, and didn't seem to intend to explain.

...

Shen Ji took the city lord back to the city lord's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he met the magician Wu Yan who was about to go out. Shen Ji's eyes turned cold and fell on Wu Yan.

"Where are you going, Master Wu?"

Wu Yan touched his beard.

"There are some things I need to deal with."

Shen Ji asked him.

"Is it urgent?"

"No hurry."

Hearing that there was no hurry, Shen Ji quickened his pace forward.

"Don't go out if you are not in a hurry. Didn't you see that the city lord is injured?"

Wu Yan saw it, after all, he followed behind Shen Ji. Two guards carried the city lord in, one on each side, and passed by Wu Yan.

Wu Yan's eyes followed them inside, and finally fell on Shen Ji who was in the front. After a long silence, he followed them to the city lord's room.

It was said that the city lord was injured, but in fact the most serious injury was the kick in the stomach by Mu Bailinfeng.

The injuries in other places were not serious.

After Wu Yan applied medicine to the city lord, Shen Ji planned to leave, but was stopped by the city lord lying on the bed.

"Little Ji..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Ji calmly pulled out his sleeves without even turning his head.

"Lord City Lord was too frightened today. You should rest early."

Shen Ji left. The City Lord was unable to keep Shen Ji. For some reason, he was actually very nervous. He was

restless.

After Shen Ji returned to his room, a servant reported that Miss Zhi from Lanyuan had come and asked if he wanted to see her.

Shen Ji nodded and motioned for the person to come in. Miss Zhi bowed respectfully to Shen Ji as soon as she came in, and then sat opposite Shen Ji with Shen Ji's approval.

"How is it?"

"She did come to thank me."

Shen Ji smiled and pushed a cup of tea in front of Miss Zhi.

"Zhiyan, there will be a good show soon." Zhiyan

took the tea, gently blew away the floating tea leaves, took a sip, and then agreed.

"I think so, sir."

...

Yu Chi's bounties all disappeared overnight. The people of Liyang City were amazed. The city lord did not dare to act rashly. This was the first time in so many years.

Gu Jue stood by the window and looked at the bustling streets below. Yu Chi wrote a note, blew it, and blew the jade whistle.

The white pigeon came following the whistle and landed on the window. Gu Jue reached out to it. It tilted its head to look at it for a few times, then lowered its head and pecked Gu Jue's fingertips lightly.

Yu Chi came over and happened to see this scene. He bent his fingers and tapped the white pigeon's rotating head with a very light force.

He tied the note to the white pigeon's feet and released the white pigeon again.

Gu Jue looked at the flying white pigeon and asked.

"You hit it just now, you must have been knocked stupid and lost your way, right?"

Yu Chi hugged Gu Jue's waist and put his head on Gu Jue's shoulder.

"If it becomes stupid, I'll pluck all its feathers and kill it to make soup for you."

"How could you be like that?"

"Of course I won't?"

Gu Jue didn't refute him again, but turned around with a smile. Yu Chi stood up straight. Gu Jue looked at Yu Chi's neck and stretched out his hand, gently rubbing Yu Chi's neck.

The marks there became very faint.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yu Chi stood in front of him, his eyes never leaving his face, and seeing his expression, he asked him.

"How about you take another bite?"

Gu Jue raised his eyes and smiled.

"One?"

"A few are fine."
