Chapter 338 - The Canton FarmsAfter Xiang Yun and the rest left, Lu Hongda, who was in the main hall, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Why does the lord sigh?" Master Zhang brought a cup of tea to Master Lu."Hey, haven"t you seen the newly appointed Captain Wei? How could he let go of such a murderous look? If he provokes the barbarians, our Patrol Officer will be in trouble!"
Lu Hongda slapped his forehead with a look of helplessness on his face. He thought back to a year ago when he had spent a lot of effort to arrange a relationship with the Tiger City Patrol Officer and spent a lot of money on it.
He had finally gotten himself into his current position, but who would have thought that he would turn out to be a hot potato in the end. He couldn"t even throw it away now.
Seeing this, Master Zhang gave an enigmatic smile and said, "Master Lu, I don"t think you need to worry.""Oh, what do you think of Master Zhang?"
"My lord, although this little one is not very knowledgeable, I have some ability to judge a person"s looks. I can see that although this Captain Wei is young, his face is full of righteousness, and his forehead is relaxed. This is the sign of good fortune amongst evil, who knows if his arrival will be our Patrol Officer"s turning point?"
Hearing that, Lu Hongda smiled bitterly: "Grand Master, this art of looking at faces is just a psychological comfort, how could it be taken seriously."
Besides, you and I are aware of the current situation in the city. He is only a small city guard captain, and even if he has some ability, he can cause a lot of trouble.Master Zhang chuckled, "Master, I have already thought of a way out for you. If Captain Wei is really going to stir up trouble, we can push away all responsibility and pretend to be deaf and mute, and Captain Wei can just end the trouble himself. We can just happily watch.
At the same time, Xiang Yun and the rest, who had already left the residence and were on their way east, saw Mrs Meng"s eyes turn red, and an unavoidable look of disappointment and sorrow appeared on her face. Meanwhile, Niuniu, who was riding on a horse, looked at her mother and pouted, no longer laughing happily."Big Sis Meng, don"t worry. I said I will avenge you, so I will do as I said!" Xiang Yun said to the low-spirited Meng Family.
"Many thanks, benefactor. This little girl will definitely remember this benefactor"s kindness." Madam Meng"s words were filled with grat.i.tude, but from the expression on her face, it could be seen that she had lost all hope in this matter.
If even the Patrol Officer couldn"t make the decision, how could Xiang Yun, as the Patrol Guard Captain of the Patrol Officer, possibly defeat that group of barbarians? Of course, she was still very grateful to Xiang Yun for his efforts.After they walked for a while, they saw the Patrol Officer, who was near the streets of Diya. After they walked for a while, they saw the Patrol Officer, who was near the streets of Diya.
Xiang Yun first arranged for Mrs Meng to stay in an inn opposite of Diya, and even gave her some silver taels. Mrs Meng wanted to refuse, but Xiang Yun said, "Big Sis Meng, Niu Niu is still young. Even if the adults can hold on, the children can"t. Just take it with ease."
Hearing this, Meng Qinglan didn"t say anything more. She simply looked at Xiang Yun with reddened eyes, and accepted the silver coin.
After temporarily settling down the mother and daughter pair of the Meng Family, Xiang Yun and Dong Lin rode their horses over to the Patrol Officer"s office!
The size of the Diwan was not small, and it was also very stylish. There were carvings around the walls, all of them armed with swords and spears.
It could be imagined how powerful and imposing they had been back then, the Inspector General. They had walked out of the black armor that covered the door of the Diwan Palace.
However, times had changed. In the short span of half a year, the Patrol Officer"s office was now in a state of chaos. Falling leaves were strewn all over the place, and the door was shut tightly like the door of the Patrol Officer"s house!
After the two of them dismounted, Dong Lin walked up and knocked on the door. After a long while, there was no reply from inside. Dong Lin was somewhat puzzled.
"Eh, didn"t this Patrol Officer say that there were only a few dozen people in this court? Why is there not even a single person who opened the door?"
Xiang Yun looked at the tightly shut doors of the imperial court, his expression calm. However, his spiritual will had already swept through the area. Now that he had stepped into the Yellow Cloud Realm, not only had his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
Similarly, when he swallowed the fire lotus seed and tried to break through the bottleneck, his mental strength had also received a great amount of training. The area that his spiritual will could cover was now even wider.
Just by glancing inside, Xiang Yun began to frown. He could clearly feel that there were tens of auras within, so he said to Dong Lin, "Continue knocking, knock hard!"
Dong Lin nodded and increased his knocks on the door!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The door was knocked with a bang and the dust on the door was shaken down. After a long time, there was finally movement in Diao Ya. One could only hear someone cursing inside!
"Who is it? Knocking my a.s.s, it"s so late at night and I"m still disturbing your father"s beautiful dreams!"
When Dong Lin heard this, he looked at the setting sun and immediately looked at Xiang Yun with a stunned expression. Xiang Yun, on the other hand, silently walked up to the door and stood there, waiting for the door to open.
"Ga Ga Da!"
At the same time, Xiang Yun and Dong Lin smelled a pungent smell of alcohol. A man with a flushed face, drowsy eyes, messy hair like straw, wearing a military uniform with a quilt wrapped around his lower body stood inside the door, looking at the two of them with a displeased expression.Before waiting for them to speak, that person shook his head and promised, "If you have anything to say, pay first. If you have nothing to say, scram to the side. Don"t disturb my sleep!"
"You!" When Dong Lin heard this, he was slightly unhappy.
However, Xiang Yun stopped Dong Lin. He turned to the person behind the door and said playfully, "Since I don"t have any money and have matters to attend to, I might as well disturb your sleep. So what?"
"How dare you!"
The soldier was surprised and immediately glared at the two of them. When he saw their military uniforms, he was slightly startled and immediately sobered up.
"You are?"
Xiang Yun did not waste any words, immediately taking out his ident.i.ty token and the official doc.u.ment of the magistrate court. Even the drunken soldier had not seen it clearly, but he had also clearly seen the two words" captain "."You … you"re the newly appointed captain?"
"The official seal is here, what do you think?" Xiang Yun asked with a cold smile.
"Aiyo, captain, forgive me, forgive me, I don"t know, please don"t take offense to my stinky mouth." As the man spoke, he opened the door and led Xiang Yun and Dong Lin in, "The two of you, please come in."The two of them walked into the imperial court. The imperial court was very s.p.a.cious. It was a three-way courtyard, and the style of the buildings was very grand and solemn.
Xiang Yun and Wu Yang had already guessed that this place would be very chaotic. However, upon entering, Xiang Yun realized that he had still underestimated the degree of chaos within!What was even weirder was that in the corner of the yard wall, there was a fence. Inside the fence, there was a group of hens, who were still squawking, not too far away from the chicken coop. The floor had been reclaimed, and there were even some small vegetables planted on it!
If not for the fact that he had seen the signboard outside Dian Ya"s main entrance, Xiang Yun would have thought that he had just arrived at a farmhouse in the countryside! Dong Lin, who was at the side, was also stunned. He really didn"t think that there would be such a pastoral type of Guan Ya.
The man clearly saw the doubt in the two people"s eyes, so he hurried over and said embarra.s.sedly: "Captain Xi, these brothers don"t have many missions, they are all a bunch of old masters. It"s a bit messy, so please don"t accept them.""Did you also raise this chicken?" Is the dish grown by you guys as well? "
"Ai!" The man gave an awkward laugh, "All the brothers in the yamen liked to eat chickens, so we just raised some chickens. As for those side dishes, we in Diya don"t have any missions. These places are empty, so we might as well order some dishes to improve everyone"s taste."Xiang Yun and Dong Lin almost fainted
"As for the others, I heard that there should be dozens of brothers in Dian Ya. The sun hasn"t set yet, so why are the doors shut tight? There aren"t even any guards around?"
"Uh …" The man paused slightly before continuing, "We"re all resting in our rooms. The vice-captain said that there"s no official business recently, so we don"t need to take turns keeping watch."
Xiang Yun did not speak any further. Instead, he simply said, "Come, take me to see them!"
Although the man was reluctant, he could not disobey, so he could only lead Xiang Yun through the front courtyard and into the inner courtyard. The moment they entered the courtyard, Xiang Yun could smell an even thicker smell of alcohol.
"Is this your rest?" Xiang Yun stared at the soldier and asked coldly.
"This …" The man didn"t know how to reply for a while, so he could only lower his head and no longer speak.
"Open the door!" Xiang Yun pointed towards the room where the voice came from.
"Captain, why don"t you open it yourself?" The man said with a troubled expression.
"Hmm?" Xiang Yun did not say anything, but only stared at him with a pair of ice-cold eyes. The man suddenly felt his body stiffen, as if he had fallen into a cold pond!
As a warrior, although he was just a Four Clouds martial artist, Dai Ziqiang had a good eye. He instantly understood that this new team leader in front of him was not a simple person. He absolutely could not provoke him.
As a slippery veteran, Dai Ziqiang was naturally a smart person as well. He immediately put on an expression as if he was vowing his allegiance to someone.
"Yes, captain!"Dai Zi Qiang immediately turned around and led the way. When he arrived before the door, he forcefully pushed it open.
The sound of the door opening caused all the shouts in the room to pause, then they heard someone curse in laughter.
"d.a.m.n it, Dai Zi, you"ve finally woken up. You"ve only drank half a jin of wine and you"re already so drunk. How cowardly! We brothers have already played around with each other several times. Come, come, let"s bet together!"
"That"s right, that"s right. Come here quickly. It"s only fun to have more people. Come and help us change our hands!"Hearing this, Dai Ziqiang looked unnaturally out of the door. Before he could say anything, Xiang Yun had already stepped into the room!
