Chapter 85 - Arrival at the City Lord"s MansionThe Qin Feng City Lord"s Mansion was located in the southern part of the city. The land occupied was quite wide and the courtyard wasn"t magnificent, but it was very elegant and tranquil. Outside the walls, there were rows of shady willow trees.
By the time Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu"s palanquin had arrived at the City Lord"s Mansion, the City Lord"s Mansion"s doors were already wide open. Five to six soldiers lazily walked outside, wearing helmets as they tossed the weapons in their hands beside their feet.
In the middle of the door was a small stove, burning with charcoal. Several people crowded around the stove to keep warm. How did this look like a guard of the city lord? It looked like a group of defeated deserters.There was nothing that could be done about it. City Lord Lu"s temperament was just like a toothless old dog. Even for the soldiers under him, he did not have any forceful methods. This group of ruffian guards at the border were not afraid of their City Lord at all.
He saw a large palanquin carried by a dozen strong men in the distance. The guards who were laughing and roasting the fire were immediately startled. They were very familiar with this big palanquin. It was the young master of the Tang clan"s palanquin!
One of them hurriedly brought the small stove to the back of the door. The others quickly kicked away the tree stump beneath them and stood up to bring up their helmets. They held their long swords in their hands and stood straight at the sides of the door!
After a moment, the palanquin landed in front of the Mayor"s mansion. Fatty Niu took a grand step forward. His neck was slightly raised, and his expression was aloof. His sleeves shook as if he was an expert pointing at the world.
However, the next moment, a kick came out from the palanquin, kicking this young master Niu until he was like a dog eating s.h.i.t, throwing him onto the cold winter ground!
"You d.a.m.n fatty, what are you dawdling for!" Behind him, Xiang Yun impatiently pushed aside the curtain and stepped out of the large sedan chair!
The several guards at the City Lord"s Mansion were originally somewhat stunned, but the moment they saw Xiang Yun fly over from the palanquin, their expressions changed to one of shock. One by one, they straightened their bodies and stood in front of the two gates, staring straight ahead!"Obediently, these two demon kings from Qin Feng City are here together to visit the City Lord"s Mansion. Seems like today, the City Lord is going to pay with his blood again!"
The moment the two famous Demon Kings of Qin Feng City stepped into the City Lord"s Mansion, the originally lazy guards all bowed at the same time!
"Greetings Your Highness, Young Master Tang!" The sound, the momentum, and the fluidity and tidiness of his movements made him look like a well-trained elite soldier!"En!"
The fat Ox raised his head in satisfaction. Without even looking at the others, he walked in side by side with Xiang Yun. As for having them be notified, that did not exist for the two of them.After the two walked into the Mayor"s mansion, the guards outside the gate began to cringe like deflated rubber b.a.l.l.s. They held a stove, moved a stone block around, and quickly gathered together to start a fire.
"Hey hey, tell me, why did the Crown Prince and Young Master Tang come to our house together?" A guard asked.
"What else can we do? Let"s. .h.i.t the autumn wind! Don"t look at that fat young master Niu, his hands are really fast. He touched away many of the paintings and calligraphies that the Mayor had collected!"
"Then what about your highness? He"s an old rich man, he shouldn"t be here today, right?"
"Hehe!" One of the guards laughed evilly.
"I see that His Highness the crown prince is here for the sake of the autumn wind. I heard that the new concubine that the mayor just accepted is very beautiful!" With the Crown Prince"s personality, wouldn"t he be able to get close and poach us? "
Another guard also nodded repeatedly. "That"s right, that"s right. You haven"t seen it, but you don"t know. That day, I helped the wives set up courtyards to carry boxes. But I"ve seen that legendary new wife. Tsk tsk tsk …"
The guard said with an intoxicated expression, "That young mistress" skin is whiter than those Willow River sisters". That little face, that slender waist, that round b.u.t.tocks, she"s simply like a fox-like beauty. One look at her really took half my life away!""Aiyo, she"s really that pretty. I should go to the backyard and take a peek next to her as well!" One of the guards couldn"t help but ask with an itch in his heart.
"I"m going too, I"m going too!"
As everyone was chatting, a guard suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, that"s right!" Hadn"t the mayor sent out an order just now? Did he have something to discuss with that Mister Zheng? For the time being, he wouldn"t let anyone in? But the crown prince, Young Master Niu, and the others …
The other guard scoffed, "Are you stupid? Could it be that you dare to stop them? If you provoke them, would the Mayor be able to protect you? Just leave it to these two men, don"t invite ridicule on yourself! "
The other guards nodded in agreement as well, and one of them asked doubtfully."Speaking of which, who is that Mr. Zheng who came in earlier? He looks quite arrogant. How dare he walk in front of the mayor?"
"And that son of his, he"s also very arrogant. He even spat on father"s face. If it wasn"t for the mayor"s face, daddy here would really go up and beat that brat to death!"Hearing this, one of the slightly older guards sneered and spoke mockingly to the younger guard, "You brat, do you really want to die?" Just go and beat him up, and you"ll see who will die miserably! "
The young guard and the others were stunned when they heard this. They immediately looked towards the old guard with doubt, "Big brother w.a.n.g, do you know the ident.i.ties of these two? Just who are they?"They all knew that this old guard was from Qin Feng city. There were many people who knew him, and he was well-informed. Usually, the servants in the mansion would ask for information from this Protector Zhao.
Protector Zhao saw the humiliated looks in their eyes, and said proudly: "You don"t even know the ident.i.ties of these two, I really don"t know why you"ve been in the city for so many years. Let me ask you, what are the big powers north of the city?""Isn"t there just the Blood Shadow Palace, Snow Dragon Sect, Spirit Channeling Sect, and Joyous Sect outside the city? Don"t tell me that they are from one of these four sects?" The guards asked nervously.
On the Tianxuan Continent, the various great empires occupied their own territories. However, the two countries often did not share a border because there were still some empty s.p.a.ces between them. These areas were naturally not ownerless objects, but places that the sects occupied.
The difference between the two was nothing more than that of going up and down the mountain. However, the former did not dare to underestimate the latter even though he had a huge advantage in terms of area!
Powerful sects had as many experts as the clouds. Top experts could even overturn rivers and seas, calling the wind and summoning the rain. They didn"t care that they had a million strong army. Destroying them was just a matter of backhand.
In fact, many of the powerful empires were supported by the sects on the mountains in order to expand their territories.
Therefore, the secular dynasties had an innate respect for their sects. Even if they were just some low-level sects, once they had their sect"s records, they would expand their territories at their borders and even open sects within their dynasties. Not only would the secular dynasties not offend them.
On the contrary, he would do everything possible to try to get on good terms with him and make him his own strength or ally!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng City was located at the northwest border. Although it was known as the map of the State of Feng Yun, it was actually a mountainous area where many sects were established.
"However, it can truly be called …" There were no sects in the northwest border, only the Blood Shadow Palace, the Snow Dragon Sect, the Spirit Channeling Sect and the Joyous Sect were the most powerful. The Blood Shadow Palace was a bit more mysterious and its strength was unknown.
The other three sects were all guarded by Mystic Cloud experts. To the common people of the Qin Feng City that only had experts and knew very little, Mystic Cloud experts were already considered top tier experts.
At this moment, hearing the meaning behind the guard"s words, the two of them were actually related to the three great sects. At this moment, hearing the meaning behind the guard"s words, the two of them were actually related to the three great sects.Seeing the eager look on everyone"s faces, the old guard whispered to them in a low voice.
"I"ll tell you guys, that Mr. Zheng is none other than one of the four great sects north of our Blue Wind City, Snow Dragon Sect"s Sect Leader Zheng Heshan. The young man you want to beat up is his only son, Zheng Yufeng!"
"Aaaah! The leader of the Snowdragon Sect!"
The moment this explosive news was spread, the guards were immediately frightened. The one who shouted just now to beat that arrogant young guard was so scared that he fell to the ground, cold sweat dripping down his back in the winter!
"Hehe, do you think they should be arrogant or not? Even the Mayor would have to treat them with respect!" Guard Zhao said.
"This …" A guard was worried. "Brother Zhao, the Mayor is currently discussing some important matters with Sect Leader Zheng. Would it not be good for the crown prince and Young Master Niu to barge in?"
Hearing this, Guard Zhao twitched his mouth and said helplessly, "How can we control such a thing? This is the business of the big figures. Let"s not worry about the Immortal fighting mortals, just watch over the house instead."As they spoke, they began to talk about other things, such as which tavern in Qin Feng city had the most authentic taste, which brothel"s girl had the most flavour, etc.
At this moment, Fatty Niu and Xiang Yun walked into the Mayor"s mansion. Fatty Niu led the way and walked through the streets familiarly, as if he knew the route inside the mansion like the back of his hand.
The two of them watched as they walked into the inner court. Through the open door, they saw a painting of the Mountain and Water character in the hall. Immediately, Fatty Niu"s eyes lit up!
"Hey, this is a good item. City Lord Lu"s house has been refurbished. I"m going to take a look at this painting to see if it"s as good as the Hundred Birds Rising Phoenix and Phoenix Painting I took with me last time. If the quality is good, I"ll bring it back to admire for two days!"After saying that, Fatty Niu charged towards the inner hall"s door like a cat that had seen a mouse!
At this time, in the main hall of the City Lord"s Mansion, the Snow Dragon Sect"s Sect Leader"s only son, Zheng Yufeng, was currently sipping tea in the main hall, waiting for his father and the City Lord to discuss some matters.He was sitting there sipping his tea in boredom. Looking around, he noticed that the maidservants in the hall were all ordinary people. He, who usually didn"t have much patience, couldn"t help but feel anxious.
"Why isn"t he done yet? Why is City Lord so long-winded!"
Zheng Yufeng complained. With a flick of his sleeve, he picked up his teacup and strode out of the room, intending to take a look at the scenery outside the hall to relieve his boredom!The latter held a cup of tea that had just been filled by a servant and elegantly lifted the cup lid. She gently removed the sc.u.m on its surface and lowered her head to take a sip. At the same time, she stepped out of the hall and raised her head to gaze into the distance!
There were no mountains and lakes, no blue sky and white clouds, only a ma.s.sive, mountainous ma.s.s rolling towards them like a landslide!
Before Zheng Yufeng could clearly see what was in front of him, he was already slammed into by Zheng Yufeng!
"Bam!"
The disproportionate impact sent young master Zheng flying backward. The cup of hot tea in his hand spilled all over as he smashed it into young master Zheng"s face!
At the same time that the tea cup shattered, the tea water instantly spilled all over his body, soaking the insides of his expensive golden silk gown!
"Plop!"After rolling on the ground, the young master Zheng lay on his back in a daze for a while. Before he could get up, his handsome face was twisted by anger and hatred!
"F * ck your grandmother, who was it that was blind to dare to run into your father. If I don"t kill your family"s nine generations, your father is not a human!" This voice was filled with hatred and extreme sharpness. It carried an endless amount of anger as it roared out!
