Chapter 135 Entering the City
At this time, the old man had just finished practicing his calligraphy and was about to pick up the tea cup. However, he found that it was a little hot to his hands, so he gave up drinking tea and picked up the account book instead.
"You guy, I finally waited for the tea to cool down, but you poured it away again."
The butler smiled slightly and replied: "Sir, drinking herbal tea is not good for your health, so you should drink hot tea instead."
The old man glanced at the other party with a smile, then shook his head and began to look through the account books on the table.
After about a cup of tea, the old man finished reading. He handed the account book back to the steward, but he talked about another thing.
"Have all the invitations been distributed?"
"Go back to me, sir, and send someone to send it there."
The old man nodded and replied: "Well, then we should make preparations early."
"yes."
…
Three days passed in a hurry. Zhao Feng and three Mang Realm warriors drove a carriage towards Yunxi City. When they arrived, they found that two armies were waiting at the city gate to check those who came in and out. Extremely strict, for fear of any accidents.
Just when the lazy young man was confused, a soldier in green armor waved to him.
"Four over there, come and get checked! Hurry up, don't wait too long!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feng whispered to the three people behind him: "Let's go there."
The three men nodded and followed the young man's footsteps towards the direction of the Qingjia soldiers.
"Where did you four come from?" The soldier in charge of the inspection was probably a little impatient. Looking at the look in his eyes, he wanted to drive all the people who entered the city out.
Zhao Feng didn't take it seriously when he saw this. He had dealt with the city guards a lot over the years, and he knew their temperament very well. Under the scolding of the soldiers, the lazy young man calmly took out a gun from his arms. The invitation was sealed with a big "Tan Family" written on it. After seeing it, the soldier quickly got out of the way for fear of offending the nobleman.
"The young one has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. Please come in among the four of you."
Then, the soldiers in front of the city gate dispersed to both sides, specifically to make way for Zhao Feng and the others. Then, the lazy young man entered Yunxi City for the first time.
But after they left, the soldiers at the city gate returned to their original ferocious appearance.
…
In the Helian Mansion, Helian Jing put on a new set of clothes and looked extremely upright under the care of his wife. However, at this moment, a handsome young man in a purple shirt quietly came behind him and said: "Father Sir, let me go with you."
The old man with gray hair on his temples was stunned for a moment, then surprisingly laughed.
"good."
Although the two often don't meet each other, the father-son relationship they have had for many years is still in their hearts. They don't need too many words to express it to understand the tacit understanding between them.
He Lianjing turned his head and looked at the increasingly handsome young man in front of him. Compared with his youthfulness many years ago, he was now more mature.
After being influenced by poetry and classics in the past few years, Helian Haixin has the temperament of a scholar in every move he makes. He is even purer than some Confucian disciples of the Luo Yun Sect. However, in addition to the scholarly spirit, there is also a heroic spirit hidden in his eyes. , like a restrained young general.
He Lianjing patted the young man in purple shirt on the shoulder, and then stepped out of the room, followed closely by Helian Haixin, so the father and son slowly walked towards the city lord's palace.
…
When Zhao Feng and the others arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they found a long queue in front of them, with many forces waiting to enter.
"Sir, I see why no one is coming in from the front?"
The lazy young man touched his nose and said calmly: "Then just wait here."
However, as soon as he said this, he saw several forces from other families stepping into the door without any hindrance, which surprised him a little.
At this time, I saw a young servant from the mansion walking out quickly. Looking at his hurried look, he seemed to be going out to buy something.
Zhao Feng quickly grabbed the young handyman over and stuffed a banknote into his hand, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother, why can they go in but not let us in? "
The servant, who was a little impatient at first, saw that the face value of the banknote was not small, so he did not get angry with the other party, but he did not welcome it either. He curled up the corner of his mouth and replied in a contemptuous tone:
"If you want to enter the city lord's palace, you have to be ranked third, sixth or ninth level."
When he said that, he threw away his sleeves and walked away. When the man next to the lazy young man saw such an attitude, he immediately became angry and cursed:
"Big shopkeeper, this is just a small handyman in the house, how dare you be so arrogant?!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feng immediately coughed a few times and whispered: "Keep your voice down, don't let others hear."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another family force coming from a distance and walking towards this side. What was strange to the lazy young man was, why only two people came from the other side?
The middle-aged people are in front, and the young people are behind. The visitors are He Lianjing and Helian Haixin, father and son. Although Zhao Feng has stayed in Yinren Town, he has never seen the young man in purple shirt behind him.
But Helian Hai was different. Although he had never met Zhao Feng, he had met Zhao Feng's grandfather, Zhao Yuntian, who left a deep impression on him throughout his life.
When Zhao Feng looked at him, he naturally noticed the other person, but he didn't know it without looking. He was a little surprised at first glance. Why did the other person look so similar to the same person? Is it an illusion?
"Hey, isn't this the 'genius' of the Helian family?" A sarcastic voice sounded beside Helian Hai. He turned around and saw a young man who looked like a playboy with his arms crossed on his chest. Looking at him with amusement, he saw that the person coming was the eldest young master of the Yan family in Yunxi County.
When the Helian family was strong, the Yan family was still one of their affiliated families. Now that the Helian family has collapsed, these families have turned against each other like mad dogs. When the wall falls, everyone will push it, and the truth of breaking the drum and beating it by thousands of people will be revealed before your eyes. .
However, Helian Haixin just glanced at him and ignored him. He knew the other person's bad qualities very well, and the more he talked to him, the more enthusiastic he became. Of course, this was also related to the unique righteousness of scholars.
As expected, when the other party saw that he ignored him, he felt a little bored. After scolding him as "trash", he followed his family fathers into the house.
There have always been rules for the three, six and nine levels of the City Lord's Mansion. The top ones are the major families in Yunxi County, followed by Jianghu sects, then the major chambers of commerce, and finally the Escort Bureau. In other words, as long as the family power is not in full swing, , other forces are not allowed to enter.
He Lianjing did not go in with those families, but waited quietly in line like Zhao Feng and others. In other words, he was excluded.
