Chapter 523 Xi Lan takes advantage of the situation again
It would be fine if the person in front of me was riding in a luxury carriage with eight horses running in parallel, or simply walked into Suran City.
His approach of approaching the official and taking out a bunch of things really puzzled the guards.
I heard that Belmare had completed the Restoration War and the country was booming. Especially the capital, Hutton Mare, was known as the City of Freedom. It was a prosperous place.
Why did the dignified diplomatic envoy come here on two legs?
Uh...
Ye Lin twitched his lips in embarrassment. He didn't really want Aska to be greeted by that girl, but he wanted to find a free place to stay before contacting Aska.
But even if you can't find Aska for a while, you can still inquire about Xilan's dojo, look for traces of Nuoyu, and ask her to help make arrangements.
"Forget it, I was the one who was abrupt, please show me the way."
After putting away the letter of appointment and the sapphire, he was no longer in the mood. It was quite troublesome to go through the national diplomatic procedures.
He now wants to go to Xilan to find Nuo Yu. Even if things don't work out, he can still find Shaying and ask a local snake to guide him and familiarize himself with the terrain.
At least EX Dornier can find a quiet place and be released safely as a private hotel.
"It would be a pleasure, you said."
The guard suppressed a hint of displeasure and forced a smile. This man is indeed not a diplomat. He is a liar. Do you want to arrest him?
Forget it, there's no real damage, just let him go.
"Do you know the dojo of the famous Four Sword Saints, Xi Lan?"
"This, southwest of Suran, you keep walking along this main road, and then..."
After getting a rough impression of the route, Ye Lin didn't think he could easily find it in one go, but he just needed to ask a few more people along the way.
On the other side, Siatt and the others saw that Ye Lin was defeated and had already followed Mo Mei into the city, curiously looking at everything in the city.
Xuzu's architecture advocates nature and simplicity. The buildings are mostly made of wood, and the style is simple and clean. The second and third floors are also beautifully constructed.
There are many unique cherry blossom trees and cotton trees planted in the city, and even the leaves are pink.
Xu Zu’s symbol of “dragon” can be seen everywhere.
"People don't believe that I am a diplomat." Ye Lin shrugged helplessly and sighed lowly: "But I asked about Xilan's location. If it doesn't work, I can find an inn to stay."
…………
About half an hour after Ye Lin left, a gorgeously decorated carriage with the Xuzu emblem hanging on it slowly drove towards the city gate from a distance.
The driver was a veiled woman with exquisite and gorgeous clothes and an elegant temperament. She was obviously not an ordinary person.
The soldiers on both sides of the city gate also saluted and helped evacuate the obstacles at the door, with a very respectful attitude.
Who doesn't know that Miss Nuoyu, a new celebrity among today's aristocrats, not only has a beautiful face, but is also a famous lady and talented woman.
Currently, he serves as the diplomatic envoy of Xu Ancestor, and is also the mentor of His Majesty Aska. He is a veritable new aristocrat of great fame, and the object of admiration of countless young talents.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just going back to the city. There's no need to go into such a big fight. I'm sorry to bother you."
Nuo Yu, who was driving alone, quickly jumped out of the carriage and bowed slightly to apologize to the disturbed pedestrians. Because of this behavior, she immediately won the favor of everyone. She was worthy of being a famous talented woman of Xu Zu.
Even the guard scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, feeling admiration in his heart. He suddenly spoke frankly and wanted to chat with the other party for a few more words:
"By the way, Miss Noyu, not long ago, there was a man who claimed to be a diplomat from Bellemare, which was a bit interesting. He also claimed to be a noble from Vanes. How could one person have official positions in two countries? It’s so ridiculous.”
His voice was not quiet, and the people nearby also burst into laughter. This is not what spies or liars do.
Nuo Yu also smiled at first, but his expression soon froze.
Then I quickly calculated in my mind that Aska's coming-of-age ceremony and the Xuzu Martial Arts Tournament's Blue Dragon Tournament seemed to be around the corner.
Ascart had specially asked that the sword master must be invited to attend the ceremony and conference. Calculating the time, it seems that it is almost time.
"It's broken, guard. Could you please describe his appearance and characteristics? Where has he gone?"
Seeing this famous talented woman from Xu Ancestor so solemn and solemn, the scene suddenly seemed to have stopped suddenly and was deserted, which was extremely strange.
Some people with quick minds also quickly remembered a character. The sword master who wandered around the continent of Arad all day long and went to heaven a few days ago, didn't he have multiple responsibilities?
"I..."
The guard was dumbfounded. He finally stuttered and finished speaking. He was already covered in cold sweat and the soles of his feet were weak.
A guest of His Majesty Askar?
That demon sword master?
He remembered it all!
"It's not your fault. He does whatever he wants and doesn't follow common sense. I will intercede on your behalf."
Nuo Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the explanation, and hurriedly drove the carriage to Master Xi Lan's dojo. He must not neglect the other party, or His Majesty would be angry. …………
At best, it has a natural style and returns to its original nature, but at worst, it is neglected and has a simple facade. It is located in the southwest corner of Suran, at the end of a street that is not empty but does not have a lot of people.
This is the swordsmanship dojo of Taito Nishiran, one of the famous Four Sword Masters. However, the door is closed at this time. There is also a note stuck on the door, which reads: "I have been fishing with my master and friends for the past three days. Closed.”
"Ha! Bah!"
Ye Lin curled his lips, kicked a stone away, raised his head and shook his head.
As expected of Xi Lan, it’s obvious that he’s just trying to fish out the business and is just lazy.
The note should have been written by Shaying. The other friend should have been referring to Aganzuo, saying he was going fishing, but maybe even fishing was done by Shiying, who was only responsible for drinking and sleeping.
"If Xi Lan hadn't accepted a good disciple, Nuo Yu, he might have starved to death on the streets. Forget it, let's go for a walk to the mountain, find an open space, and live in Dornier."
Siatt and the others had heard about this idle swordsman for a long time. Before Xilan became the Four Swordsman, he was a wandering swordsman who was famous all over the continent.
Mo Mei had already bought a large bag of steaming buns from the nearby bun shop, stuffed one into her mouth, and said vaguely: "Do you eat buns? They taste pretty good."
"Not hungry." Siatt shook her head.
Yuena reached out and touched a bun, saying it was just a taste.
"I like big steamed buns and big meat buns. Although Xiaolongbao is also delicious, it is not very satisfying and cannot fill a mouthful."
Ye Lin's eyes were distant, staring at the mountain peaks wrapped in clouds in the distance, his hands behind his back, as if expressing some deep emotion.
"Shameless!"
"Abnormal!"
"Beast!"
"Shameless!"
"Bah!"
A series of contempt and disdain came over him, but Ye Lin himself was as thick-skinned as a city wall and didn't show any embarrassment at all.
Fortunately, the third princess was not here, otherwise she would have wanted to kick him to death.
The team was heading directly from the street at the entrance of Xilan Martial Arts Hall to the outskirts of Suran, but a voice of opposition suddenly came from a dark, deep and jungle-covered trail.
"Haha, young man, if you want to be satisfied with one bite, you can try stuffing a few more buns."
He was leaning on a gray wooden dragon-head crutch that was taller than himself, and wore a yellow round hat, which covered his face, but his beard could reach his chest.
He has an old voice and is wearing a simple and elegant blue robe, but it has turned white after washing, and there are obvious signs of damage and age at the hem. It has obviously been worn for a long time.
Ye Lin was surprised. Someone was hiding in the jungle just now, but he didn't notice it?
But he still smiled and said: "Each bun is independent. If we eat them together, wouldn't it be a waste of the meaning of the birth of Xiao Long Bao? Then it is better to buy the big bun when buying."
< br>
"It makes sense. As soon as I saw this bun, I couldn't walk."
The mysterious old man chuckled, then stared intently at Mo Mei's paper bag and beautiful buns.
"Um, old man, do you want to eat?"
Mo Mei was embarrassed by being stared at, so she tentatively handed the bun over. An old man with shabby clothes should live a simple life on weekdays.
"Thank you very much. You're welcome."
The old man on crutches reached out to take the bun in Mo Mei's hand, but suddenly he was startled and grabbed Mo Mei's wrist with his backhand.
"Hey, old man, just eat the buns, don't get hurt."
Ye Lin frowned slightly. He was really worried that the old man would be hurt by Mo Mei's passive Qianyehua. That thing would always make a fool of himself when Mo Mei threw herself into his arms.
His palm happened to be blocked between the mysterious old man's palm and Mo Mei's wrist, allowing the latter to grab the back of his hand.
"Hiss!"
"Huh?"
The two were separated as soon as they touched each other, both of them were surprised and had strange expressions on their faces.
The back of Ye Lin's hand was red and felt numb, as if it had been touched by high-voltage electricity.
The mysterious old man's dull palm also had a red mark on it, as if it had been cut by a very thin substance.
"What a sharp sword, young man, are you not from Xuzu? Where are you from? Who is the master?"
