Chapter 167 Jiang Ping Headed for the Mayor’s Mansion

Jiang Ping looked at the waiter in confusion.

The waiter stretched out his hand and pointed at the notice he had just posted at the entrance of the inn.

Jiang Ping moved closer to take a look.

The more he looked down, the tighter his eyebrows became.

In the end, his two eyebrows seemed to have been knitted together.

After Jiang Ping finished reading, he stood where he was and thought for a moment. Then, he turned around and asked the waiter.

“Is there any explanation for the sudden lockdown of the city? What caused it?”

The waiter shrugged and spread out his hands.

“How would I know? How would we, the commoners, know about the notice given by the mayor’s mansion?”

“But when I went to the market to stock up earlier, I heard everyone talking about it.”

“They said that the lockdown of the city this time was most likely because of the destruction of the eastern district some time

ago.”

Jiang Ping nodded and asked the waiter to prepare breakfast first. Then, he gave the waiter some money in advance.

He said that if he continued to stay in the inn, he could deduct the fees from it. If he didn’t, he would inform the inn.

After explaining, Jiang Ping took the stairs and went up to the inn’s second floor.

He knocked on the door of Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi’s room, but Jiang Ping didn’t go in. He just told them to get dressed and come to his room.

Jiang Ping sat in the room until Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi came in.

Jiang Ping let them take their seats.

After the two of them sat down, Qiu Chi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

Then Lei Jingyun asked.

“Master, what’s so urgent?”

Jiang Ping told them what was written on the notice and the conversation with the waiter.

Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi listened carefully.

The more they listened, the more they frowned, just like Jiang Ping just now.

After Jiang Ping finished, he asked them what they thought.

Qiu Chi shook his head and said he would follow the arrangement.

Lei Jingyun took the teapot in front of Qiu Chi and poured himself a cup of tea. He didn’t forget to fill the cup in front of Jiang Ping.

“Master, I think it’s not impossible to solve this problem.”

“We can go to the mayor’s mansion and explain the situation to him.”

“You’re at the earth immortal realm after all. He wouldn’t dare to disrespect you.”

Jiang Ping nodded.

“I thought so too, but I’m afraid that the mayor has no consideration of others’ feelings.”

“So I called you two here to discuss with you.”

“After all, we’re in a hurry this time. If we miss the ferry, we’ll have to wait for at least a month.”

“If we can’t negotiate with the mayor’s mansion, then we might have to be impolite…”

Seeing that Jiang Ping didn’t continue, Lei Jingyun guessed. “Force our way out?”

Jiang Ping nodded.

Qiu Chi and Lei Jingyun obviously had no objections.

Therefore, the three of them were not asking for each other’s opinions in this conversation. Instead, they were discussing with each other so that they could be prepared. Then, Jiang Ping said to the two of them. “I’ll go to the mayor’s mansion in a while.”

“The two of you will wander around Yellow Clouds City and try your best to find out the combat strength of the major sects in this city.”

“If we really have to force our way out, we must know ourselves and our enemy.”

Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi replied in unison.

However, Jiang Ping told them not to be in a hurry. It was not too late to take action after eating breakfast.

The three of them headed downstairs together.

At this moment, the three little girls were dragged out of the room by Li Sushang.

It seemed that the three little girls were obviously half awake. They came down unwillingly to eat breakfast.

At the dining table, Jiang Ping looked at the three little girls’ listless expressions.

He stuffed a steamed bun into each of their mouths.

“Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, you can go back to sleep.”

Wan’er said weakly when she thought of the fact that she still had to hurry on the road after eating

“How can I fall asleep when the carriage is so bumpy?”

Jiang Ping told the three little girls that they wouldn’t be able to leave for the time being today.

He told them that they could go back to their rooms and continue to rest after eating.

The three little girls’ eyes lit up.

Liu’er asked Jiang Ping again if what he said was true.

Jiang Ping nodded.

Then he said to Li Sushang and the three little girls.

“After you finish eating, go back to your rooms and stay there.”

“Sushang, keep an eye on them. Don’t let them go out and run around.”

Li Sushang nodded and said she understood.

After everyone finished eating, Jiang Ping nodded to Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi, and the three of them walked out of the inn.

The three little girls couldn’t wait to go back to their rooms to sleep.

After the three of them left the inn, they went their separate ways.

Not far after Jiang Ping walked out of the inn, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

“Master, wait for me!”

He turned around and saw an old Taoist priest walking in front of him, taking the lead to enter the inn.

Behind him was a young Taoist priest carrying a bag.

Jiang Ping looked at the back of the young Taoist priest and felt a little familiar.

But he didn’t think too much about it. Because the most important thing right now was to go to the mayor’s mansion.

The master and disciple walked into the inn where Jiang Ping was staying

The old Taoist priest spoke to the waiter.

“Little brother, we will be staying in the inn. Are there any vacant rooms now?”

The waiter smiled and said that there were.

He Xiangjiang continued.

“Two rooms!”

“We want two rooms.”

He Xiangjiang thought of the scene of the old Taoist priest grinding his teeth, snoring, and talking in his sleep.

He thought to himself that he wouldn’t save this money no matter what. He has to have two rooms. Otherwise, in the end, he won’t be able to sleep well and will be blamed.

The waiter apologized to the master and disciple and said.

“I’m really sorry. Yesterday a group of customers came to the inn and there were men, women, old and young. They asked for six rooms at once, so we only have one room left.”

He Xiangjiang said with a frown.

The old Taoist priest urged He Xiangjiang to take out the money.

“Hurry up. There are so many inns ahead, but there are no vacant rooms. Since there are rooms here, what does it matter if it’s crowded?”

“As your master, I won’t despise you.”

He Xiangjiang reluctantly took out his pouch from his bag.

“But I despise you.”

Although he said he despised his master, he still obediently paid the money.

Yellow Clouds City was considered a city with frequent business transactions. Every day, there would be people from other places swarming into the city.

Because of the sudden lockdown of the city, many people who were going to leave the city today could not leave, so they could only continue to stay in the inns.

Thus, the master and disciple had gone to a few inns, but all of them had no more empty rooms.

Although there were many inns in Yellow Clouds City, the master and disciple did not want to go around anymore. After paying the fee, the waiter brought them upstairs

On Jiang Ping’s side, it was his first time in Yellow Clouds City, so he was not familiar with the roads.

At this time, it was not convenient to fly to the sky to find the way. It would be easy to become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Therefore, Jiang Ping could only ask for directions as he walked.

“Hello, Big Brother. Which direction is the mayor’s mansion?”

Jiang Ping gently patted a man’s shoulder.

The man did not directly answer Jiang Ping’s question.

Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while before asking. “Why do you want to go to the mayor’s mansion?”
