Chapter 376: The Younger Brother at the Gate of the City Lord's Mansion

The round moon is so bright.

The clouds around her looked a little shy!

Compared with the previous two days, Tiansang City tonight was a bit too quiet.

In this city that never sleeps, curfews are not implemented on weekdays unless something major happens that affects the safety of the entire city.

Tonight, that's it.

The city lord's palace entertained guests from all over, and the streets of Tiansang City were packed with people!

On this night, almost the entire city's powerful men would gather in the city lord's palace. If something happened outside, it would naturally be a big deal.

Therefore, the city defense formation will be fully activated tonight!

When the blue light curtain rose from all sides, covering the entire city, and when the void closed, everyone who looked up to the sky was shocked.

"The city defense formation is out, the city lord's mansion has a night banquet..."

"Should we start?"

…

"arrive!"

Xu Xiaoshou was shocked when he reached the punctuation point according to the map he had visualized on the invitation letter.

Behind him, Mu Zixi also had a dull look on his face, his big eyes staring straight ahead, swallowing saliva unconsciously.

"This, this is the City Lord's Mansion?"

What appears in front of you is a magnificent palace.

That brilliant golden wall, even though Xu Xiaoshou was several feet away and couldn't see the ends on both sides.

"How big is this?"

Not to mention the wall, the door alone is several feet high.

There were two rows of thirty-six guards standing by the gate!

The gatekeepers were dressed in silver armor, serving solemnly, with spears and swords, all complete, creating a formidable scene.

"What the hell is this called the City Lord's Mansion? You might as well change the name and call it the Forbidden City!"

Xu Xiaoshou stopped moving forward. Compared with the "imperial palace" in front of him, he only felt that his newly purchased small manor was inferior!

It was completely crushed!

"No wonder..."

Xu Xiaoshou murmured, no wonder Fu Xing had such a weird expression when he asked him how big his house was and whether it could accommodate hundreds of people.

There are hundreds of people in this house. For their house, the floor space of a toilet is very small.

"Walk."

Xu Xiaoshou said calmly, pulled Mu Zixi and stepped forward.

I can't let others see that I'm a country bumpkin!

I, Xu Xiaoshou, have seen the world!

It didn't happen before, but now it does!

Mu Zixi was suddenly pulled away from the shock, her expression was startled, she lowered her head and wanted to withdraw her hand.

But after a pause, he suddenly blushed and stopped his actions.

"He, he's holding me?"

Thumping!

pounding...

at this time.

"Being watched, passive value, +1."

The sudden message pop-up frightened Xu Xiaoshou to a halt.

He paused in his steps, and then exerted force with his hands as if on a conditioned reflex.

"ah!"

Mu Zixi immediately let out a strange cry, and his face immediately turned green.

"Xu Xiaoshou! What are you doing!"

Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly let go of his junior sister's hand and forced himself to calm down.

Someone is staring at me again?

who?

He thought of Zhang Taiying's wanted order...

"No way, that guy, is he still staring at me at this time?"

"Shouldn't he be taking care of himself?"

"Xin Gugu should be hanging out in front of his house at this time!"

Without thinking much, Xu Xiaoshou turned around, took his junior sister's hand and breathed out.

His eyes wandered, and his "perception" searched the surroundings carefully, but found nothing except a few wealthy families who wanted to enter the city lord's palace.

"Who could it be?"

"Xu Xiaoshou!" Mu Zixi stared at his senior brother shouting randomly on his bloody hand, furious.

"Ahem, don't be afraid, I have everything!" Xu Xiaoshou looked a little panicked.

Mu Zixi is fuming with anger, don't be afraid?

What I fear most now is your sudden tenderness!

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

"Go, keep moving forward!"

After laughing for a while and looking around thirteen times, Xu Xiaoshou realized that if he stayed still in the same place, he might be caught. He immediately breathed out a breath of life, pulled the little girl and left.

"Uh-huh~"

A groan.

"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."

…

"stop!"

The silver-armored guard raised his spear, stopped Xu Xiaoshou and the others, stretched out his hand, "Invitation letter!"

"Na."

Xu Xiaoshou handed over the gilded name sticker that he had prepared. At the critical moment, there must be no trouble.

The guard opened it and closed it.

"please."

Xu Xiaoshou pointed at the girl behind him: "We are together, can we come in?"

"Okay." The guard nodded, "Your invitation allows you to bring three people."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded and was about to walk in.

At the critical moment, that message popped up again.

"Being watched, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou's heart skipped a beat and his steps stopped.

Behind him, Mu Zixi couldn't stop the car and hit him head on.

"Ouch."

Fortunately, after suffering a huge loss, she finally learned to turn on her spiritual body protection at all times, so she didn't get blown away directly.

But the little girl still covered her forehead with an angry look on her face.

"Stop again?!"

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou turned around and looked back as if he had some enlightenment. Sure enough, a figure rushed out of the woods.

This was a sloppy boy with a stained face, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

He had a long braid, and the hair that fell on his scalp was as oily as rape flowers, which was simply unbearable to look at.

As soon as he saw Xu Xiaoshou, the boy rushed over with a shout.

"Brother!"

"I finally waited for you, why did you come just now, they just pushed me!"

The boy's voice was crying, and his eyes were tearful.

Combined with the mud, he was just like a weak boy bullied by a bully guard.

The guard obviously knew him, and when he saw the boy rushing over, a long spear was erected in front of his chest.

"Stop!"

"I've told you, you can't enter without an invitation!"

Xu Xiaoshou basically understood what he said when he heard this.

This guy wanted to enter the city lord's mansion, but he didn't have an admission ticket, so he could only wait for kind people to take him in?

So it seems that the "being watched" just now was also sent by this guy?

But, I just scanned for so long, why didn't I seem to have seen this person?

All this, is so simple?

Xu Xiaoshou's heart was hanging, and he wanted to turn around and leave cautiously, but looking at the aggrieved eyes of the boy, he suddenly stopped.

Want to mess with me?

I, Xu Xiaoshou, look like a good person, would I take you in for no reason?

After hesitating for a while, as if recalling, Xu Xiaoshou still chose to speak.

"Brother?"

The boy's tears burst into light when he heard it, "Brother, it's me, do you still remember me..."

"I don't remember."

"..."

The boy was choked.

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

His tears were about to burst out, he clenched his fists, shook his head and struggled, "Impossible, how could you forget me? We were..."

"But what..."

"..."

The boy saw that Xu Xiaoshou didn't respond, his eyes were full of disbelief, "You really forgot me? You can't even remember my name?"

Xu Xiaoshou lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Oh, it's you?"

The boy's eyes lit up and he became excited.

"Brother, you remember, my name is..."

"Your name is..." Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and tried to recall.

"Well, my name is..." There was encouragement in the boy's eyes, as if he was looking forward to his brother recognizing him.

As Xu Xiaoshou thought about it, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the other party.

"I remember, it's you! Xu Xiaoji?"

"???"

"Suspected, passive value, +1."
