Chapter 27 Even a Bug Needs to Be Registered

The weather was fine and sunny, and the sky was clear. With such good weather, the Tao family caravan did not stay in Hefeng County. They prepared more food and set off quickly.

After Huang Feng taught the children to play chess, he bought salted crisps and returned to the carriage to share them with Bai Yang and Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan did not expect Huang Feng to buy her a cake. She wanted to take it but hesitated: "Give it to the young lady first."

"She was wearing a veil, so it was inconvenient for her to eat. I didn't buy it for her." Huang Feng said and looked at Li Motang, "No matter how fast the Tao family caravan is, it is far inferior to flying on a sword. Shouldn't you hurry back to Zhaoyang at this time? Let's go."

Li Motang ignored him at all.

Huang Feng felt bored, stuffed two salted crisps into Xiao Nuan, sat back and ate them by himself.

Fasting is not difficult, but if you don't eat, life will be less fun.

Xiao Nuan handed the salted shortbread to Li Motang: "Miss."

"I don't need it."

"Mr. Huang was just joking with you, otherwise why would he buy two." Xiao Nuan advised, handing the salted shortbread to Li Motang.

Huang Feng dealt with his own cake, his voice a little vague: "I heard Tao Yansheng say that this salted shortbread is a specialty of Hefeng County, so I bought it to try. What, are you afraid that I will poison it?"

Li Motang took the salted shortbread from Xiao Nuan, took off the veil, and took a small bite.

Wearing a veil is mainly to keep a low profile, after all, the dual identities of Yuyuan Pavilion and Princess Daxia are too ostentatious.

Huang Feng already knew, it didn't matter whether to take it off or not.

At this moment, Tao Yansheng lifted the curtain of the car window and poked his head in: "I heard Brother Huang mentioned me just now..."

Tao Yansheng opened his mouth and stood there halfway through his words. Li Motang, who covered half of her face, was shocked by her beauty with only her eyebrows and eyes. Now that he saw the whole picture, there was only one thought in his mind, how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world.

Huang Feng deliberately frightened him: "Hurry up and shrink back, be careful that she will scratch your eyeballs."

"Ah, I'm offended, I'm rude." Tao Yansheng remembered that this fairy seemed to have a bad temper, and hurriedly shrank his head back to the window and lowered the curtain.

"Miss is not that kind of person!" Xiao Nuan protested with a salted biscuit in her hand.

"As the saying goes, you should be grateful if you take someone's money, and you should be grateful if you eat someone's money. You eat my food and blame me?"

"I... I didn't!" Xiao Nuan couldn't argue with Huang Feng, so she lowered her head and ate the biscuit silently. After eating half of it, she raised her head again, "Or I won't eat it and give it back to you?"

Li Motang was helpless, and Bai Yang was also amused by it. This young lady was so interesting.

But he was used to it. In the past, in the sect, the place with Senior Brother Huang Feng was always so interesting.

...

Under the arrangement of the Tao family's manager, the caravan set out at sunrise and rested at sunset, never left the official road, and didn't care about other people's business. This journey was safe and stable, and nothing happened.

A few days later, Huang Feng got off the carriage and finally saw Shulu City in front of him.

Shulu was built on the mountain, with a wall more than ten feet high, with flags flying on it. Several city defense teams were patrolling non-stop with strong bows and crossbows on their backs.

On the surrounding sentry towers, every soldier had eyes like hungry eagles, staring at the surrounding grass and trees.

At the city gate, soldiers lined up to check and register passers-by one by one.

"It is worthy of being a key city." Huang Feng sighed.

Just based on the solemn and murderous atmosphere of this city, even if there is no immortal sitting in charge, ordinary little demons and ghosts dare not get close.

Huang Feng thought that Shulu was like this in the past, until he heard Xiao Nuan talking behind him.

"Miss, why is Shulu so heavily guarded? What happened?"

"It's not like this usually?" Huang Feng asked in confusion.

"It won't be so strict." Li Motang finished speaking and told Xiao Nuan, "Go ask."

Next to the city gate, most city defense officers usually set up a table in the shade and put some tea, fruits and melons to pass the time.

Today was different. The sun was blazing, but the city defense officer personally held the sword at his waist and led people to check the people and goods entering and leaving the city.

Seeing Xiao Nuan walking straight towards him, the seriousness on the city defense officer's face did not ease because Xiao Nuan looked cute. He scolded: "Who are you? Register to enter the city and queue up behind. No one can be exempted."

Xiao Nuan took out a token from her sleeve, hid it in her palm, avoiding the sight of others, and showed it in front of him: "If you recognize it, don't make it public, talk here."

The first thing an official, even a small city defense officer, must learn is to recognize people and brands.

Seeing the Great Xia royal token in Xiao Nuan's palm, the city defense officer was suddenly startled and hurriedly walked aside with Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan got straight to the point: "What happened in Shulu recently? Why is the security so tight?"

The city defense officer was a little surprised: "You don't know?"

Xiao Nuan urged: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me."

The city defense officer hurriedly explained: "The governor Liu was murdered. It happened not long ago. The news has been reported back to Zhaoyang. His Majesty was furious when he learned about it and demanded that the matter be investigated as soon as possible and the murderer be arrested.

Because the incident happened in Liu's mansion in the city, in addition to Liu, many people died in the mansion, and the deaths were a bit... unusual.

Now Rumors are spreading that Lord Liu has encountered an evil spirit, and the people in the city are now in a panic. "

Xiao Nuan wondered: "If it was really done by an evil spirit, couldn't the Demon Bureau find out?"

The city defense officer smiled bitterly: "After the incident, I heard that Lord He, the governor of the city, went to the scene in person. As for what conclusion he came to, it is not for me to know.

The order I received is that people entering and leaving the city in the next few days must be strictly checked. Without registration, not even a fly can enter or leave the city gate."

Buzz...

As they were talking, a flying insect flew past the two of them and flew into the city.

Maybe I have been with Huang Feng for a long time, and I have learned some bad habits unconsciously, such as arguing.

Xiao Nuan looked at the flying insect, and then at the city defense officer.

"..."

In order to prove what he said, the city defense officer drew his sword and chopped at the flying insect. The sword was amazing, but unfortunately he failed to hit the target and was evaded by the flying insect.

Hearing the sound of the sword being drawn, the soldiers in front of the city gate thought something was wrong, and they also drew their swords quickly. The clanging sound of the sword being drawn scared the people around.

As a result, everyone looked in panic and saw the city defense officer slashing the air with a sword in front of a girl.

What is he doing?

The city defense officer's martial arts are quite exquisite. The third sword accurately cut the flying insect, then he let out a long breath, sheathed the sword, and looked at Xiao Nuan heroically, as if he would keep his word and fulfill his mission.

Seeing that everyone at the city gate was looking at this side, Xiao Nuan hurriedly ran away: "Okay, you go and do your work, we will line up to register to enter the city later."

When Xiao Nuan came back and saw the scene just now, Huang Feng asked curiously: "Why did he just chop insects?"

With his eyesight, he could tell what the city defense officer was doing.

Xiao Nuan explained: "He said that without registration, no insects could fly in. It happened that an insect flew by, so I looked at it, but who knew that he..."

"Hahaha." Huang Feng immediately thought that this brother was very interesting, and gave Xiao Nuan a thumbs up. This girl really got his essence!

Under the veil, Li Motang pursed his lips slightly, and wanted to laugh a little. He held back and reminded Xiao Nuan: "Let's talk about business."
