Chapter 43: Encounter at the back door
I don’t know if Jiang Yu regrets it, but Jun Mo does.
Wei Xu and the others couldn't resist Jiang Yu's teasing, so they could only relent and agreed to let her go to the evil demon's lair at night, but the premise of the agreement was that Jiang Yu would leave after saving the people, and never say anything more to those evil demons.
Jiang Yu himself had nothing to say to those demons who were bent on evil, so in order to gain their consent, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Because they didn't know where the traitor was hiding in the city lord's palace, and in order to avoid alerting others, Jiang Yu and the others didn't tell anyone about this action. Even Wen Renhuai didn't know about Jiang Yu's actions.
The sky quickly darkened, night fell, and all the garden landscapes Jiang Yu had seen in the city lord's mansion during the day were hidden in the darkness.
She sneaked to the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and through the open back door, she saw Jun Mo sitting swaggering on the ground, eating meat with one hand and drinking wine with the other, and the old man lighting a lamp for him next to him.
Perhaps he heard the movement behind him, Jun Mo turned around cautiously, and met Jiang Yu's surprised eyes.
The dim light fell on his pale face, illuminating the oil in his mouth.
Jiang Yu: "..."
Jun Mo: "..."
Through the light, Jun Mo could also clearly see Jiang Yu's outfit, and he could probably guess what she was going to do when she went out at this time.
but……
Jun Mo swallowed the duck meat in his mouth.
You could say that she had no scruples and was blatant. She also knew how to go through the back door and even changed into black clothes.
You said she was low-key and knew how to hide herself. Although she changed into a black dress, it was just this black dress. He took a closer look and saw that the style was still very different from the golden dress she wore during the day. He looked again and saw that The magic weapons hanging on her waist, on her head, and on her wrists, which he didn't recognize but knew were rare, almost blinded him.
"..."
The two looked at each other again, speechless.
In the end, Jiang Yu was defeated, stepped across the threshold in a few steps, closed the wooden door with his backhand, and lowered his head: "You don't want to sleep at night, why are you here for extra food?"
Jun Mo was still holding the duck leg in one hand and the wine bottle in the other. He sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up at her. He looked down at her dress and couldn't help but retort: "You're up late at night, ready to go shopping." ?”
He threw the duck legs in his hand into the paper bag beside his legs, put down the wine bottle gently, wiped his mouth vigorously, stood up, and revealed the old man behind him who was lighting the lamp for him: "This is Uncle Cheng, The one I was talking about before——"
He then introduced the girl on the steps to Uncle Cheng: "This is the immortal invited by the city lord. They saved me."
Uncle Cheng, who was sitting on the ground behind him, immediately stood up, took a few steps forward, held the lamp, clasped his hands and bowed to her: "Thank you, immortal."
The light he had just been taking care of Jun Mo was now closer to the light. Jiang Yu moved his eyes over and saw him clearly easily. He has gray hair on his temples, is dressed in a scholar's gown, and has an elegant temperament, as if he could enter a school and become a teacher at any time.
But his face was not very good, and he looked haggard. Even in the dim light, Jiang Yu could clearly see the thick blue and black under his eyes.
"You don't have to be polite, old man." Jiang Yu smiled, "It's just a little effort."
Uncle Cheng was a little reserved when facing her, and he had a lot of famous quotes and articles from sages and classics in his mind, but at this moment, except for smiling with his lips pursed, he couldn't think of what to say.
"Uncle Cheng knew I was in the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to come and see me." Jun Mo smiled and took the initiative to explain, "But no one is allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion during the day, and I was not allowed to come out, so I thought of sneaking out at night. One trip.”
Of course, if he knew that he would meet Jiang Yu in this appearance at this time, he would definitely not choose to come out at this time.
He pointed to the things at his feet and smiled with a greasy mouth: "Uncle Cheng's family made these by himself. Do you want to have a taste?"
Jiang Yu immediately shook his head and reminded: "Although the circumstances are excusable, I still have to remind you that the city lord's mansion is now strictly controlled. Once discovered, Uncle Cheng will have to stay in the mansion for a while like you. "
"It's okay." Jun Mo smiled nonchalantly, "I haven't been discovered yet."
"..."
Jiang Yu stared at him for a moment, "...I'm sorry, are you sure?"
She couldn't pretend she didn't see it.
The suspicion on Jun Mo has not been completely cleared, and now this action is very much like delivering information to the outside world. Even if she does not doubt them subjectively, objectively she cannot just ignore them and let them go.
"..." The other two understood what she meant.
"May I?"
After a while of silence, it was Uncle Cheng who spoke up first. He still seemed a little reserved, but did not express his intention to refuse, "I am willing to come into the house to take care of Jun Xiaolang, but I have to ask the immortal to inform my family."
He himself felt extremely guilty towards Jun Mo.
He was injured because he was helping him find his daughter. He had inquired with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who had explained the situation to him. They said that Jun Xiaolang almost lost his life. If he hadn't met the immortal invited by the City Lord and was rescued in time, he might have died. He could no longer see him at this time.
"No." Jun Mo frowned and shook his head in refusal, "If Uncle Cheng comes to the City Lord's Mansion, what will Aunt Zhou and Brother Cheng do? Wouldn't they be extremely worried?"
