The Bloody Road to Longevity Chapter 46: Visit
Because these few days are an important time for collecting Induction Beads, Zuo Jingtian has been staying in the City Lord's Mansion to prevent changes. At this time, it was getting late and the city gate was closed. Zuo Jingtian was having dinner with several wives and concubines.
Zuo Jingtian was startled, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he hurriedly asked people to remove the food and drink, and then he led a mortal horse and rushed towards the city gate. Afraid that the county master would be in a hurry, and he didn't have time to climb up the city tower to identify the authenticity, he let people open the city gate and ran out in a panic.
There are five dragon-horse horses standing at the gate of the city, with two people sitting on the lead, one male and one female. Although the night was dark, the monk's eyes were sharp, and Zuo Jingtian still recognized that the man and the woman were the county masters. and his concubine Fu Lingyue.
Zuo Jingtian stepped under the horse, hurriedly bowed his body and clasped his fists, and said in fear: "I don't know if the county master is here, and I will ask the county master to forgive me!"
Chang Yuhuan said: "It's not your fault, I just came over on a whim to have a look."
Zuo Jingtian said: "The county lord must be tired from the long journey. Please ask the county lord and his wife to sit in the mansion for a while, and I will arrange drinks for the county lord and his wife to wash away the dust."
Chang Yuhuan said: "No need, you can take me to Qinglianghou mansion now."
On the way here, Zuo Jingtian has been pondering secretly, what is the reason for the sudden visit of the county master? Now I finally understand, it turned out to be for Qinglianghou. The camel is really skinny and bigger than a horse. The Marquis of Qingliang is really not simple, but it is just a sign of space. In his eyes, he doesn't take it seriously at all. It shows its importance. In the past, he had always taught Zuo Lan not to underestimate the Marquis of Qingliang, but he never thought that the person who had been underestimating the Marquis of Qingliang was himself. It seems that this Qinglianghou is not a thing in the pool. Once he gains power, I don't know if he will let him go?
Thinking of this, my heart trembled.
Due to the national law, Longlin horses were forbidden to enter the city for fear of disturbing mortals. Zuo Jingtian asked people to find a few mortal horses, let Chang Yuhuan and his party transfer, and then led them to the Qinglianghou mansion. .
The Hou Mansion has been renovated and has a new look, with lanterns hanging inside and outside, bright as day, and incomparable style.
Several people jumped off their horses, Chang Yuhuan looked at the lintel of the Hou's mansion, and said, "Who said that the Hou's mansion has fallen? I think this Hou's mansion is still magnificent!"
Zuo Jingtian leaned closer and whispered: "The county master doesn't know, this mansion was indeed in decline before, there were weeds everywhere, it was extremely desolate, and there were no people. It was only in the past few months that the little man was repaired. Fan, I have today's momentum." It's hard to say, my family still sponsors a lot!
Chang Yuhuan said: "It takes a few months to make such an earth-shaking change in a dilapidated mansion. It seems that the young man is indeed very capable!"
Zuo Jingtian echoed: "What the county lord said is very true."
The current Ding Xingwang of the Hou Mansion has two guards standing at the door. Chang Yuhuan took a step forward and cupped his hands: "Please let me know, Daojun County Master Chang Yuhuan begged to see the Marquis." /
Zuo Jingtian was horrified when he heard it. The dignified and dignified commander of the county used the word "seek to see". He thought that in the past, Hou Qingliang asked to see him, but he was too lazy to see him. There is no chance.
The doorman answered and went in to report.
After a while, Jiang Xiaobai led Feng Yan out, walking calmly and arrogantly, Zuo Jingtian secretly told Chang Yuhuan that this person was the Marquis of Qingliang. Chang Yuhuan just glanced at it, and fell in love in her heart. It seems that Lingyue is not talking nonsense. She is really a dragon and a phoenix. If Chu Chu sees it, she will definitely like it. I can't help but feel a little remorse in my heart. I should have listened to Lingyue and believed in Lingyue earlier. Maybe I am a family now.
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai walked out of the gate, Chang Yuhuan stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Chang Yuhuan, the commander of Dao County, pays respects to Marquis Qingliang!"
How dare others neglect? Hurry up to worship together.
Since the last time Chang Chuchu came here, Jiang Xiaobai has a good impression of this cheap old man. After all, they have never even seen his face, but they are willing to marry their daughter to him. Although he does not like it, he says in his conscience , The daughter is really not bad, it is not because the quality is poor that it is sold everywhere, it shows that people still have vision. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are very polite. Maybe in the future, I will be assigned to your subordinates, so I should be the one to see you!"
Chang Yuhuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the Lord Hou is serious. Not to mention Xiaoxiaodao County, it is the entire Mid-Xia Empire, except for the emperor, who would dare to make Lord Hou a person? If Lord Hou is not afraid of condescending, then don't. Staying in Qingliang City, why don't you come to my Dao County, the entire Dao County is the master of the Lord."
Zuo Jingtian was taken aback and thought, that officer can't be bigger than me? Isn't it easier to kill me than to pinch an ant? How did the day go so fast?
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai didn't agree, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too flattering to me, I'm just a dummy, I don't have any ink on my chest, and I don't have any ambitions, I just don't want to waste my time in this mansion. It took me a while to think of doing what I can do for the country, not for the sake of covetousness, after all, the country treats the marquis very well. I don’t want to be named a marquis, I hope Haibo is flat!”
Chang Yuhuan said: "Master Hou does not admire Rongli, but he is worried about the world, so he is convinced!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your Majesty is being polite. Let's go, let's talk slowly inside." He turned his head and instructed Feng Yan: "Place the wine!"
The rumor answered with a sound, then turned around and went back to work.
Chang Yuhuan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'm not bothered at all, I'm very happy, for hundreds of years, there has not been a decent person in the Hou Mansion, and all those who come are debt collectors and beggars. Today, the Lord of the County comes to visit in person , it really makes the Hou Mansion flourish. Even if I leave here, I have no regrets.
Chang Yuhuan was a little puzzled. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Although this Qingliang Hou has now been vacant and marked, he used to be a useless and annoying person after all, but what he said now Generous and decent, neither humble nor arrogant, full of demeanor, listening to people up and down comfortable. Is it because he changes too fast, or because he has always been keeping a low profile? After a little consideration, it is estimated that there is more to the latter reason. Although people’s hearts are fickle, they cannot change so quickly! I couldn't help but add three more points to my heart~IndoMTL.com~ Since the food and drinks took a lot of work, Jiang Xiaobai led the group to the living room first, sat down with the guest of honor, and ordered the servants to serve tea. After a little chatter, Jiang Xiaobai said, "I don't know why the county master came to the door this time?"
Chang Yuhuan said: "I heard that Lord Hou opened up the space to show the seal, so I came here to congratulate you!" A cultivator took out a brocade box from his arms, walked to Jiang Xiaobai, and offered it with both hands. Chang Yuhuan said: "I'm in a hurry, I can't get a gift in time, I'd like to ask the Hou Ye to accept it with a smile."
Jiang Xiaobai took the brocade box and opened it to see that there were actually five channel beads inside. He knew very well the importance of Yin Daozhu to the cultivator, and he was moved for a while, and he had a three-point favor towards this cheap old man. Closing the brocade cover, he said: "The county master has a heart, but it's just to open up the space to show the seal, there is no need to make a big fuss. The county master is not far away, and I am so grateful that I personally go to the door to congratulate me. A precious gift?" Then he handed the brocade box to the monk.
The cultivator didn't dare to answer, and stepped aside with his hands down.
Chang Yuhuan said, "Does Lord Hou despise me for such a little courtesy?"
Jiang Xiaobai was slightly startled, then put the brocade box on the table, laughed, and said, "It's really disrespectful for the princess to say that, and it's a shame!"
Chang Yuhuan said with a smile: "Your Excellency is very polite." After a while, he said, "But I have some personal matters that I would like to discuss with Lord Hou."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The county lord, but it doesn't matter!"
Chang Yuhuan looked around and said in a tentative tone, "I wonder if I can discuss it with Lord Hou alone?"
Jiang Xiaobai didn't say a word, so he let the servants go out, and the people brought by Chang Yuhuan were also very interested, including Zuo Jingtian, they all withdrew without waiting for him to speak, and took them back to the temple. Door.
Only the Chang Yuhuan couple and Jiang Xiaobai were left in the hall.
