152 The enemy of the enemy is a friend
Sure enough, as soon as the man's words came out, the field became quiet in an instant, but immediately, there was a bigger riot.
"If you are disrespectful to the moon god, that is disrespectful to all our moon-falling citizens! Kill them!" Immediately, someone shouted, with an uncontrollable fury.
Lin Fan and others can't help but have a big head at this time. Most of the people here are mortals. If they want to take action, they can naturally knock them to the ground in an instant. However, after all, this is a city, and I don't know how many people there are! If you knock down a batch, another batch will come up!
"Everyone retreat!" Just as the riots broke out and the scene was about to get out of control, a low and steady voice suddenly sounded in the scene. As soon as the sound was heard, the crowd that had been oppressed by Lin Fan and others suddenly stopped.
"The city lord is coming!" I don't know who shouted, and the onlookers immediately looked back and then made way.
Lin Fan looked at the person who came, but saw that he was medium-sized, wearing a very well-fitting purple robe and a broad face, revealing a kind of majesty unique to those who had been in the top for a long time, and his eyes radiated blade-like eyes from time to time, which seemed to blind people. Ordinary mortals did not dare to fight at all. He looks at each other.
"What happened?" The city owner walked to the scene, took a look at Lin Fan, then glanced at his big head without a trace, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then turned his head to ask everyone.
"Your Excellency, this strange animal raised by this man robbed me of sugar-coated haws and Boss Li's fish kebabs. We are chasing him to ask this gentleman." One of the vendors answered with open his mouth.
"So that's it," the city owner glanced sideways at Lin Fan, and his expression on his face did not change. Obviously, he did not pay attention to this matter. "I just heard you say that this outsider is not respectful in the Moon Temple? But is there such a thing?
As soon as the city owner finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said, "Go back to the city lord, it's true. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that they did not kneel down when they saw the moon statue. After that, the head of the four servants of the moon god came out, and their group did not have any fear at all! How can such a person set foot in our Yanbo City? The man spoke louder and louder, and his face became a little flushed with excitement, which made him look extremely angry. At the same time, he did not forget to stare at Lin Fan tightly with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if he wanted to drink his blood immediately.
"Ha ha, it's really strange!" After listening to what the man said, Lin Fan was not angry, but instead calmed down, "I'm very curious. We came down from the top of the moon peak with the cultivation of bone refining and didn't reach this city until now. As a mortal, even if you leave a while earlier than us, will you come back earlier than us?" After saying this, Lin Fan did not speak any more, but stared at the sharp-mouthed monkey-eyed man with burning eyes.
"This..." The man suddenly stopped talking and thought about it. There was indeed a loophole, but Lin Fan seized this opportunity and said coldly, "If you want to frame me and my companions, obviously don't have to do these sneaky things. However, before deciding to take action, it is better to figure out whether there is that strength. While speaking, Lin Fan's eyes slanted at a fat man in white who seemed to be watching the bustle, and then turned his eyes to the city owner and calmly continued, "City Lord, what do you think?"
Even if the city owner's eyebrows frowned, the fat man's eyelids in white jumped. He didn't expect that Lin Fan could see the trick just because the speaker was a mortal. He was originally here to threaten him, but he didn't expect that there was no threat. He was beaten upside down and threatened by Lin Fan.
The fat man in white turned his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes paused, and his eyes showed joy. He turned his mind slightly, and a divine consciousness had spread to a dressed man in the distance.
It didn't take long for several monks to come over and say, "Huh! It's really cunning! This mortal is talking, but I have seen with my own eyes that you are disrespectful to Hanmei, the head of the four maids of the Moon God!"
Lin Fan turned his head and looked at those people without showing nervousness. He shook his head and smiled, "The ears are empty, and the eyes may not be true. That cold plum came to talk to me on behalf of the Moon God. To some extent, I sit on an equal footing with the Moon God. Do you think it is necessary for me to kneel down on a statue worshipped in the Moon Temple? What a joke!"
When those people heard this, their faces suddenly changed. In the whole moonland, except for the equally mysterious Yanghou, no one dared to say that they were on an equal footing with the moon god, even the emperor in the royal family! But the person in front of him is so presumptuous!
"Don't say any more." The city owner, who had just opened their mouths and was about to speak, suddenly opened his mouth and suddenly choked back what they didn't say.
"City lord, you..." Everyone looked at the city owner in astonishment.
"Since the senior officials in the Moon God Palace haven't said anything about this matter, it's better for you not to talk about it, so as not to make the Moon God unhappy and no longer protect us. Let's all break up. As for the money of the two bosses, I paid for them. The city owner opened his mouth and offered a few cents to the two hawkers at the same time. It is obvious that he is no longer willing to embarrass Lin Fan at this time. When everyone saw this, after a burst of discussion, they slowly dispersed.
After saying these words, the city owner turned his head and smiled politely and said, "This foreign friend, Xu Gongming, has always been yearning for overseas. I think several friends are all high-spirited people. Since they are from overseas, why not sit in the house? The sky is already dark. How about we wait and talk about it? "
Lin Fan pondered for a moment and suddenly found that the hurried people around him looked disgusted when they looked at him. He knew that although the disturbance just now had been resolved, it also made the people in the city have no good impression on him. Instead of this, it is better to go downhill and stay in the city master's mansion for one night. The so-called master of art is bold, but he doesn't believe that this city owner named Xu Gongming will have any harm. If he wants to be bad for himself, as long as he doesn't show up, he will be in a hurry.
Thinking about this, Lin Fan turned his head to look at Lei Feng and others and asked for their opinions. With the insights of Lei Feng and others, they naturally felt the hostility of the people around them. If they stayed in the city, they might not even have a place to spend the night, but they all nodded. Lin Fan turned his head and promised, "In this case, it's time to disturb the city owner."
"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome." Hearing that Lin Fan and others agreed, Xu Gongming suddenly showed a very happy expression on his face. He made a gesture and walked forward.
Lin Fan walked at the end. Before leaving, he looked at an alley on the street with a sneer, with a cold light in his eyes, and then turned around and walked forward.
After Lin Fan's figure disappeared, a fat man in white came out of the alley, but now his face is green, a mass of fat, constantly twitching, staring at the direction where Lin Fan and others disappeared, with hateful eyes in his eyes. Just now, he clearly received a divine message from Lin Fan: "Go back and tell the moon god not to make any more small actions, otherwise, she will know the consequences."
"Damn!" The fat man in white spit out two words fiercely. He was sent out by Mo Ju to find a way to disperse Lin Fan and his party, and then waited for the opportunity to catch the big head. According to his original intention, with the people's respect for the Moon Palace in the whole city of Yanbo City, he only needed a simple reason to make the people crazy and make them fall into pieces, but he did not expect that Lin Fan not only quickly grasped the loophole in his plan. But even so, it's nothing. At least let the people of Yanbo City have a grudge against them, then they must not be able to spend the night in the city. Although he knows that everyone's strength is not weak, he is confident that there are many masters he can control, but he didn't expect that there is another city owner in the middle. ! Make his plan completely ruined!
"Xu Gongming! Hello! You are a good dog of the royal family!" The fat man in white gritted his teeth, looked at the direction of Lin Fan and others disappeared, and said ferociously, "You can hide from this moment, but you can't hide for a lifetime!" And can you see through Xu Gongming? Humph!" After saying this, Bai Yi turned around and left here, only for a few breaths, and then disappeared.
Lin Fan and his party came to the city master's mansion in a short time. Even if there is a subordinate who takes the door to visit.
"It's so elegant!" At the first time they saw the city owner's mansion, Lin Fan and others praised in unison. The city owner's mansion did not look special, but it had a smell of time, which looked heavy and magnificent. Obviously, it had experienced endless vicissitudes.
"You are kidding, this city master's mansion was built more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, the construction or engineering had no other characteristics, that is, it is durable. Unlike today's bridges and houses, people may break the bridge, and the house will collapse after a slight shaking of the ground, so this city owner's mansion will slowly become The symbol of Yanbo City symbolizes the stability of Yanbo City. Xu Gongming said with a smile.
"What? Can a person cross the bridge? Lin Fan and others were stunned. They have never heard of such a thing.
"There is such a thing." Ge Duojin coughed dryly, and there was a wry smile on his fat face. "Although I didn't walk through the bridge that collapsed as a person, I was shocked when I took a carriage. Those colleagues in the Ge family who have been transport goods all year round have encountered and encountered a lot. You should know about the Jingyuan Dynasty, right?"
"Well, I know." Lin Fan and others nodded, but Xu Gongming was looking at the crowd with a smile all the time.
"Seven or eight times out of ten times a carriage stepped on a bridge..." Ge Duojin said helplessly with a wry smile on his face.
Lin Fan and others heard Ge Duojin's words, with incredible expressions on their faces, and Lin Fan remembered the faces of Zhu Xi, Zong Li and Rong Qi.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's go in. It happens that the first-class cherry blossoms enjoyed by the royal family every month just arrived a few days ago. You just want to taste it. This is outside, but you can't even buy it with money!" Xu Gongming laughed and interrupted everyone's shock.
"First-class cherry blossoms that can't be bought outside? Is it cloud and cherry blossoms? Nangong Ling was stunned and then asked doubtfully.
"Oh? How could this friend know about clouds and cherry blossoms? Have you been to my moonfall before? Xu Gongming was obviously stunned and asked curiously. While speaking, everyone has been introduced into the side hall of the city's main house and sit down.
"I...my home is not far from the moonland, and it is also on a small island..." Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment and said.
"The nearby island... It seems that no one lives there, except for the shrimp fishing island in the southeast... huh? You are..." Xu Gongming frowned and thought for a moment, and then the color changed. He looked at Nangong Ling lost his voice and pointed a finger at Nangong Ling with disbelief on his face, but he immediately felt something wrong and hurriedly took back his finger back.
"This...my father is the owner of the shrimp fishing island..." Nangong Ling's face showed a cowardly look, obviously feeling quite embarrassed that his identity scared the city owner. However, as soon as Xu Gongming heard Nangong Ling's words, he suddenly stood up from the stool, and then ploped and knelt down to Nangong Ling.
Lin Fan already knew what shrimp island meant to the moonfall, but Lei Feng and others almost fell to the ground. They didn't expect that the mysterious father of Nangong Ling could make the Lord of Yueluo Kingdom so humble! If they knew that even the emperor of Yueluo Kingdom would be respectful when they saw Nangong Ling, they didn't know what would happen to them.
"Oh, get up and get up quickly. I'm different from my brothers and sisters..." Nangong Ling obviously didn't expect this. He hurriedly stood up and shook his hands and shouted. Lin Fan helped Xu Gongming up with a smile, but saw that Xu Gongming's forehead was full of sweat.
Xu Gongming sat down trembling with a wry smile at the corners of his mouth. He never thought that among the group of people he invited, there was the person on the "Killing Island" and was also an extremely noble princess! Although Nangong Ling still has a dirty little screaming appearance, it is originally beautiful and unparalleled, and naturally it can't hide Xu Gongming and other people.
Sitting down this time, Xu Gongming's face was still worried. for a moment, he didn't know what to say. Situ Goblet looked at Xu Gongming's face and felt really funny, so he reminded him with a smile, "Master Xu Cheng, can we have a drink? You're not going to let us come to the city lord's mansion to be hungry, are you?"
Xu Gongming was stunned, and then came to his senses and hurriedly greeted his servants to bring up the wine and dishes. As for the most famous cloud and fog cherry blossom brewing in Yueluo Country, it has won two altars.
Lin Fan and others saw that Xu Gongming was still trembling, so they introduced the crowd with a smile, and then said, "Master Xu doesn't have to care too much about Linger's identity. Her current identity is our friend, far from being the young master or saint of shrimp fishing island or something..."
"That's right, I'm tired of life on the shrimp fishing island, so I went out to play!" Nangong Ling suddenly scared the city owner like this and felt really sorry. At this time, he heard Lin Fan's words and hurriedly agreed.
"Yes...yes..." Xu Gongming wiped the sweat on his face and couldn't help saying yes, but his heart seemed to eat yellow lotus. On the shrimp fishing island, they were all cruel people who ate people without spitting bones. This view was deeply rooted in his heart. At this time, although Nangong Ling was not as he thought, it was engraved in the bones. Zi's fear of fishing shrimp island can't be eliminated anyway.
Although he is trembling and shocked, Xu Gongming is the owner of a city after all, and it is not a simple role to be able to achieve this position. After the first short period of fear, Xu Gongming immediately thought carefully and said secretly, "It seems that the Moon Palace and this group of people must have a conflict for some reason, and this young man named Lin Fan's words on the street are a little unclear, and I'm afraid the reason is on him. If you can pull them over to the royal family..."
Thinking of this, Xu Gongming's heart pounded, and his face also showed a moment of joy, and then flashed away, but he still did not escape Lin Fan's eyes.
"Just now, he was scared and was afraid of us. To be precise, he was deterred by Linger's identity. At this time, there was a trace of ecstasy. I'm afraid that he was trying to win us over to restrain the power of the Moon Palace, but he didn't know whether he was a member of the royal family or the Yanghou Hall, and try him..." As a city The Lord does not necessarily work for the royal family. After all, the Moon God Palace and the Yanghou Hall have restrained more than 90% of the power of the moonfall. The ministers in the court, coupled with the power of the royal family, must also have three factions.
"City lord, please be blunt. Looking down, the city owner doesn't seem to be in harmony with the Moon God Palace!" Lin Fan decided to try Xu Gongming, and suddenly opened his mouth directly. A person is often stunned by the sudden straightforwardness, and his mind is shocked, and then the flaws will be revealed.
Sure enough, Xu Gongming was stunned. He was still considering how to inquire about Lin Fan and others, but he didn't expect that Lin Fan would take the lead in asking this question, and it was so naked (harmonious) that his mind was a little lost in an instant, but only for a moment, he stabilized again.
"Msong Lin joked. The Moon God Palace has been on the mission of protecting us for countless years. I, Xu Gongming, only respect the Moon God Palace, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Xu Gongming naturally did not want to admit it, but answered in a general way. Respect for the Moon God Palace does not mean that you believe in the moon god. It's like a comparable enemy. You may respect him, but you will never believe in him.
"Oh? Is that right? But in his opinion, the city owner's dilemma on the street seems to be in a secret sentence!" Lin Fan took a meaningful look at Xu Gongming,
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Xu Gongming frowned and asked, and Lei Feng and others' eyes were also suddenly fixed on Lin Fan.
"The enemy of the enemy is a friend." Lin Fan looked directly at Xu Gongming and said with a smile.
