Chapter 63: The Layout Begins

The next morning, when Yao Ruoyu was still sleeping, there was a sudden loud bang outside the door, which woke him up from his dream. Frightened, he was about to stand up when he stepped on the air and fell off the bed.

He stood up with his butt rubbed his butt, got up full of chest and was so angry that he quickly put on his clothes, then rushed to the door of the house and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a soldier's body twisted and sinking into the wall opposite the door. Several men stood on one side with horror, obviously still in shock.

After looking at the soldier who was trapped in the wall, Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party must have wanted to open the door violently, but he touched the spiritual array he had arranged at the door and was directly shocked.

Looking at the men who had just recovered, Yao Ruoyu frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"You...you dare to murder the soldiers guarding the city!" Hearing Yao Ruoyu's inquiry, a man wearing a black feather crown subconsciously roared.

After touching his nose, Yao Ruoyu asked indifferently: "So what?"

"So, what?" The man widened his eyes. He could not have thought that Yao Ruoyu would throw him back and answered, and he stood there in a daze.

"What's going on?" With a clang, Yang Renjie opened the door from the room with the purple thunder sword. As long as he saw his face full of irritability, he knew that he was obviously in a state of getting up like Yao Ruoyu.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Meng, Li Yilin and others walked out of the room one by one and looked at the group of people with a fierce look.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu and others rushing out, the man suddenly recalled the scene of the group of people slaughtering all wildfire thieves like cutting melons and vegetables. He immediately tightened his legs and quickly smiled and said, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, we have no malice..."

"Then what are you here?" Yang Renjie waved his purple thunder sword casually for a few times. He looked at them with a ferocious face, as if he would immediately swing the knife if he had a bad answer.

With a bow, the man smiled apologized to Yao Ruoyu and said, "Wu Liang, the chief clerk of the city lord, will come to pick up the three girls to the mansion at the order of my city lord."

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when she heard this, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and she frowned and said, "So early?"

With a embarrassed smile, Wuliang replied: "Isn't this... I hope the three girls can make a fortune as soon as possible?"

(Is this how it is used to be used for the success of the world?)

Everyone stared at Wu Liang speechlessly, and couldn't speak for a long time.

After wiping his face, Yao Ruoyu made him wake up completely. Then, according to the lines he discussed with Xu Xuanrong yesterday, he replied: "Even if it's a marriage, it's not that fast. At least we have to discuss the days. We have to prepare our dowry here, let's talk about it..."

Wu Xue, who was still confused with a random finger, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "My sister has a lot of appetite. I wonder if the rice in the City Lord's Mansion is enough? If it is not enough, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"Ah! Who do you think has a lot of appetite? I'm obviously losing weight recently, so I'm eating very little, okay?" Wu Xue, who woke up instantly, suddenly turned her mouth tilted and threw herself on her with her teeth and claws.

When he mentioned Wu Xue and threw it to Jiang Siyu and Hou Jingru, Yao Ruoyu said with a smile: "So my chief clerk will ask him back first. We will come to the door in person tomorrow and discuss the auspicious day with the city lord."

Knowing that Yang Yiming wanted to send the three daughters to Qin Hui quickly, Wu Liang wanted to say a few more words to fight for it, but when he saw Yang Renjie raising the purple thunder sword with a grim smile, he hurriedly asked someone to dig out the soldier who was trapped in the wall and fled from the wine bank.

"It's disturbing people's dreams!" Yao Ruoyu said angrily.

Yang Renjie, who was furious to get up, raised the purple thunder sword and said with a grim smile: "I said, old demon, when will it take action?"

Seeing that everyone had not woken up much, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "You go and wash your face first, have breakfast and talk slowly."

*—*—*—*—*

After Wu Liang came out of the city lord's mansion, it was already noon.

After he returned to Diaoyu City and passed on Yao Ruoyu's words to Yang Yiming, the latter indeed chose to agree to discuss the auspicious day with Yao Ruoyu tomorrow under the threat of Wu Xue's "huge" appetite. Of course, these are all secondary. Yang Yiming actually cared more about the dowry prepared by Yao Ruoyu and others.

But then, Wuliang and Yang Yiming had a headache in the mansion and the consequences of yesterday's massacre.

After knowing that his subordinates had been slaughtered, Wanyan Ye, the chief master of the wildfire thief, was furious and immediately sent someone to threaten Yang Yiming to hand over the murderer, and then compensated his subordinates who died in battle.

It took a full morning for Yang Yiming and Wu Liang to kill Wanyan Ye's people. Then Wu Liang, who was exhausted, left the city lord's mansion and planned to go back to his home to have a good sleep.

As soon as he got home, Wu Liang felt a chill in his neck, and he was directly blocked by someone with a sword, and then dragged it into the room.

"Hero, please spare my life! I have old men and eighty-year-old mothers to take care of. You can take whatever money you want, don't kill me..." Wu Liang, who was shocked in his heart, threw himself to the ground and cried.

Seeing Wu Liang's appearance, Yao Ruoyu put away the Shuangxi sword speechlessly and said helplessly: "Get up and talk."

"Hero, you... don't kill me..." He got up with tears in his nose. When Wu Liang looked up and saw Yao Ruoyu and Li Yilin, he stood there in surprise and said, "Why...why are you?"

"Why can't it be us?" After a smile, Yao Ruoyu signaled Li Yilin to guard the door, and then smiled, "What, are you surprised?"

"Okay, it's okay..." He answered stammeringly, then Wuliang reacted and said in shock, "You...what are you doing?"

Smiling, Yao Ruoyu replied softly: "I don't understand? Your city mainly robs our sister, so we are very angry."

With wide eyes widened, Wuliang subconsciously replied: "Then... Then you go and find the city lord, why are you looking for me?"

Although I had known that people like Wu Liang were purely fence-bearing, when Yao Ruoyu saw that the other party simply sold Yang Yiming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The Lord of Hezhou is a powerful person in the fifth realm, and we don't have the ability to deal with him."

"Our city lord is not the fifth realm!" He widened his eyes, and Wu Liang seemed to grab a life-saving straw and said anxiously, "He is only the fourth realm! If he hadn't relied on his godfather, he wouldn't have become the city lord at all!"

"He is only the fourth realm?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously looked at Li Yilin, and then asked with some insight, "What is his cultivation level? What are his weapons? What are his skills? What are his weaknesses? Let's tell them all!"

"I understand, understand, I will help you all, don't kill me!" After swallowing, Wu Liang quickly told Yang Yiming all the situation.

It turned out that Yang Yiming's cultivation level was only at the fourth level and eighth level, and he was forcibly promoted to this level by relying on external objects such as elixirs. Later, relying on the power of his godfather Qin Hui, he squeezed out the original city lord and grabbed the throne of the city lord of Hezhou.

Yang Yiming practiced a martial art called "The Earth Dragon Kung Fu". Although the name is Earth Dragon, this martial art only enhances his vitality and allows him to recover quickly after suffering non-fatal injuries. So in fact, his combat power is not strong, at most similar to those who have just broken through to the fourth realm.

When Wu Liang answered, Yao Ruoyu had already quietly used tricks to spy on his mind to prevent the other party from telling lies.

After confirming that Wu Liang did not tell a lie, Yao Ruoyu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have yamen runners' clothes here?"

"I don't have it here, but there is one in the government..." Wu Liang hesitated slightly, then his eyes turned and replied, "If you need it, I can get you a few sets now."

Seeing his strange eyes, Yao Ruoyu sneered unconsciously, reached out to signal him to get closer to him, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Wu Liang was shocked and changed color and quickly wanted to spit it out, but then his neck cooled down. It was Li Yilin who drew out the iron sword and put it on his neck. Suddenly, the chief clerk of Hezhou City swallowed the pills in tears.

After confirming that he had swallowed it, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "This is the Seven Poison Pill, made of seven poisons. After eating it, if you don't take the antidote in one stick of incense, you will definitely bleed and die from the seven orifices. If you have one stick of incense now, you can get two sets of yamen runners' clothes for me."

Seeing that he was forced to swallow the poison, Wu Liang was frightened. Fortunately, he heard Yao Ruoyu say that there was still one stick of incense, so he quickly got up and rushed out of the house, ran to the government to get clothes for Yao Ruoyu and the others.

Seeing him leave, Li Yilin hesitated and said, "Brother Yao, aren't you afraid that he will go and report it?"

With a smile on his face, Yao Ruoyu replied: "He only has one stick of incense. Even if he goes to report the news, he has no time to get the medicine. Unless Yang Yiming sends someone to catch us, but with this kind of personality, does he dare to gamble?"

"However, why do you have this poison in your hand?" Li Yilin blinked and said curiously, "I remember you practiced ice-attributed spiritual magic? Have you also practiced other magic?"

Shrugged, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "That's Sanjiu Weitai."

"..." Li Yilin was embarrassed and asked after a while, "Where did you come from?"

After smiling, Yao Ruoyu replied casually: "I have brought it with me before traveling through time. My stomach is not very good. I was injured when I used to drink."

Before the half-incense stick came, the door was knocked open with a slam. Then Wuliang rushed in with two sets of clothes in a mess and wailed: "Hero, the antidote... the antidote!"

He signaled him to submit two sets of yamen runners to him, and then Yao Ruoyu took out a Sanjiu Weitai and threw it over. After taking it, the latter swallowed it without hesitation, and then relaxed and gasped.

After carefully looking at the two sets of yamen runners, Yao Ruoyu put them away, turned around and saw Wu Liang slumping on the ground. He smiled and asked, "Didn't you disturb others?"

"No, no, I slipped in through the back door, took my clothes and left, no one noticed me." After wiped the cold sweat from my head, Wuliang replied with a grin.

After a huh, Yao Ruoyu took out another pill and handed it to him: "I've taken it."

He took it with a sad face, and Wuliang said depressedly: "Why are you eating again?"

"Because I'm happy!" replied with a smile, and Yao Ruoyu then patted his shoulder, "Let's go with us first! There is something else you need to help you cooperate next."

Seeing that he still had value, Wu Liang knew that he would not be silenced for the time being, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he quickly cooperated to leave the place with Yao Ruoyu and Li Yilin.
