Chapter Seventy-Four: The Royal Emissary
A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Yang family has been calm in the past few days, and nothing unusual has happened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is rare to have such a quiet time, and Yang Teng calmed down and concentrated on cultivation, and the effect was quite good.
On this day, the dignitaries of the imperial capital arrived in Fenglei Town, and the patriarchs and leaders of the four major families went to greet them.
The distinguished guest who came to Wind Thunder Town was a royal envoy of the Izumo Empire, who came to Wind Thunder Town once every ten years, and his main task was to inspect the various conditions of Wind Thunder Town and collect taxes from Wind Thunder Town during the past ten years.
Since Wind Thunder Town is located on the westernmost edge of the Izumo Empire, it is far away from the Imperial capital, and it takes three months to get there, so the Empire only sends an emissary once every ten years.
The time when the royal envoy arrived became the most important day in Wind Thunder Town.
When the royal envoy leaves, he will take with him the children who have gone to the Royal Academy to study.
Therefore, Yang Teng was included in the list of Yang family's greetings.
This year's important task of welcoming the envoy was received by the Wang family, which is why the Wang family is responsible for presiding over this year's big competition.
According to the previous standard, Yang Wushu sent someone to send the tax that the Yang family should pay to the Wang family early, and the only task today is to greet the envoy, let Yang Teng meet with the envoy, and then follow the envoy to the capital.
The old man warned Yang Teng many times that he must have a good attitude when greeting the envoy, so as to leave the best impression on the envoy, and only by studying at the Royal Academy can he get ahead in the future.
To the east of Fenglei Town, a large road leads into the distance.
At this end of the road, the heads of the four major families and the leading figures in Fenglei Town are all impressively listed, and in order of status, the younger generations like Yang Teng can only stand at the end of the team.
Three days ago, a messenger reported in advance, informing Fenglei Town to prepare in advance.
Before dawn, the procession of greetings to the messenger was waiting here, but two hours had passed, and there was no shadow of the messenger on the road.
Seeing that it was almost noon, people were already waiting impatiently, and there was still no news ahead.
Wang Shi'an looked anxiously into the distance, he sent someone to inquire about the news from a hundred miles away, but there was no news yet, and it seemed that it would take a while.
"Are we making a big fuss, so many people have waited for so long and have not seen the messenger. It is better to wait in the town and wait for the news of the messenger to come out to greet you. Yang Teng muttered quietly.
Yang Ningren glared at his son fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense! Everyone is waiting with peace of mind, just talk a lot about you! Besides, it was the same in the past, you can't be troubled just because there is one more of you this year!"
In the past, the strength of the Yang family was not included in the four major families, and there was no chance to participate in the team of greeting envoys, but now that he can stand here, where does Yang Ningren dare to complain.
If such remarks reach the ears of the envoy, it will be worth it! Yang Ningren warned Yang Teng to shut up.
Yang Teng shut up and didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart, isn't he just a messenger, if the king of the empire arrives, Fenglei Town will not be able to raise the town to welcome thousands of miles.
No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, Yang Teng still had to wait honestly according to the rules.
Looking at Zhao Yihang, who was standing at the back of the Zhao family's team not far away, Yang Teng secretly laughed in his heart, this guy was too stereotypical, standing solemnly, with an expressionless face like a guard standing guard.
Zhao Yilin looked a little impatient, and looked at Yang Teng's side from time to time.
After returning from the Wang family, Zhao Yilin had to go to the Yang family every day, and she could always find various reasons to say that Yang Teng had something to do, and the relationship between the two gradually changed unconsciously.
Finding Yang Teng looking over here, Zhao Yilin smiled slightly, she knew that Yang Teng must be impatient in her heart.
Looking at the Wang family again, Wang Qi's body was as straight as a dragon spear in his hand, and he had the spirit of a young hero.
Yang Teng shook his head secretly, no matter how good Wang Qi and Zhao Yihang performed, neither of them could enter the top two in the big competition, and they were destined to miss the Imperial Royal Academy to study.
Li Guan, who was about to go to the capital with Yang Teng, had a light and light expression on his face, and he could see that he was very proud at this time.
Just as Yang Teng was observing these people, someone rushed from a distance and went straight to Wang Shi'an, who was standing at the front of the greeting procession.
"Qi Qi family master, the royal envoy team has come fifty miles ahead, please prepare the family master. ”
"Okay, you go down and rest. Wang Shi'an was in good spirits, tidied up his clothes, and shouted loudly at the team that greeted the envoy: "Everyone, there is the latest news ahead, the envoy team will be in Fenglei Town in fifty miles, please prepare as soon as possible!"
Fifty miles, it will soon come, and everyone hurriedly straightens their clothes, and checks each other to see if there is anything wrong with them.
Yang Tengxin said that he finally came.
After a while, the end of the road was dusty, and a group of men and horses galloped from afar.
"Everyone, please come forward with the old man to greet the messenger!" Wang Shi'an shouted excitedly and stepped forward to greet him.
What a big faction! It is worthy of a team of envoys who go out on patrol on behalf of the Imperial Empire!
Even Yang Teng, who was accustomed to all kinds of big scenes in his previous life, nodded secretly.
The banner was waved in the wind, and the messenger team galloped wildly.
A white horse of the same color, with a single horn on the top of its head, and four hooves with black curly hair, three inches above the ground.
The knight riding on the steed had bright armor and swords and spears in his hands.
Yang Teng exclaimed in his heart, not to mention anything else, the horses that these knights rode were rare exotic beasts, this was not an ordinary white horse, but a heterogeneous horse called a unicorn, and it was said that the food for raising unicorns was the Gathering Spirit Pill.
There are thousands of people in this team, and only a huge empire can have such resources, and the four major families of Wind and Thunder Town together can't afford to raise these unicorns.
The procession to greet the envoys was divided on both sides of the road and greeted them under the leadership of Wang Shi'an.
Surprisingly, the messenger team did not stop, and the knight in front urged the unicorn to roar straight towards Wind and Thunder Town.
Wang Shi'an led the people of Wind and Thunder Town to greet the envoy. Wang Shi'an's voice was high-pitched and entered the middle of the team.
Escorted by thousands of knights, there was a large luxury car in the middle of the procession.
Four unicorns pulled this car, and a glance at it from a distance made people's hearts move.
The exterior of the carriage is inlaid with various gemstones, which shine brightly in the sunlight.
Sensing the faint aura fluctuations, Yang Teng's heart moved, this car is not simple! It is by no means as simple as looking at luxury, those gorgeous gems all have super defensive attributes, and countless such gems form an indestructible defense, which protects this car closely.
The driver was a middle-aged man, sitting on the wheels like an iron tower.
Surprisingly, the coachman was one-armed, holding a long whip in his left hand.
Hearing Wang Shi'an's shout, the long whip in the one-armed coachman's hand moved slightly, and the tip of the whip popped and pulled a whip in the air.
After the crackling of the whip, the whole team was like a whole, no one made the slightest sound, but suddenly stopped, and the uniform movement was amazing.
The people of the Yang family who participated in the greeting envoy all looked at this team blankly, and compared with others, they knew that they were real earth leopards.
"Command, messenger!" cried the one-armed coachman.
Wang Shi'an hurriedly stepped forward, "Little old man Wang Shi'an greets the messenger. ”
"The envoy ordered, do not enter Fenglei Town, and all go to the Wang family to rest and recuperate!
No one could see the envoy's face through the carriage.
Wang Shi'an was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Little old man's honorable order!"
Turning around, he ordered the clansmen to quickly go back and arrange preparations to welcome the envoys, quickly adjusted the welcoming procession, and led the envoys to the king's house.
Wind and Thunder Town is different from the rest of the Izumo Empire, and although it is called a small town, it is the size of a small castle.
But this small city does not have a manager such as a city lord.
In order to welcome the royal envoys who come once every ten years, there is a post house built in Fenglei Town, which is usually taken care of by a special person and waits for the envoy to come.
Today, the envoy did not go to the post house, but chose to stay at the royal house.
This decision made Wang Shi'an extremely excited, and an old face blossomed, this is a big event for the glorious lintel!
The good things that can't be asked for will actually fall on the heads of the Wang family, and Wang Shi'an is a little at a loss.
The people of the other three families and the powerhouses of Wind and Thunder Town could only follow at the back of the team.
Thousands of knights rushed towards the royal family, and although the speed was much slower than when they came, they still stirred up dust.
This made the people who followed the line miserable.
The dust fell on his body, making him dare not wipe his face, let alone hide from the dust.
Before coming to the palace, Yang Teng had already turned into an earth monkey.
During the march, Zhao Yilin came to Yang Teng's side quietly, and when she saw Yang Teng's tragic situation, Zhao Yilin covered her mouth and tried not to laugh.
Yang Teng said softly: "Don't laugh at me, look at what you are like now, go back and take a bath, it is estimated that you can wash ten catties of soil." ”
Of course, girls pay attention to appearance and hate dirty dust, Zhao Yilin spit quietly, and her mouth was full of dust.
"You see, the Wang family seems to have been prepared for a long time, as if they knew that the envoy was going to stay in their house. Yang Teng pointed to the door of the Wang family mansion and said.
Zhao Yilin looked up, the door of the Wang family's mansion was lit up, the front of the mansion had already been cleaned spotlessly, and there were strong children and welcoming slaves and maids standing on both sides of the mansion gate.
"Whatever, look at this posture, the messenger is not easy to serve. Zhao Yilin frowned and said.
The team entered the palace, and Wang Shi'an shouted loudly for the clansmen to settle the envoy team.
The luxury car in which the envoy rode entered the palace gate and stopped in front of the reception hall of the Wang family.
"Greetings to the messenger to get out of the car and rest, the little old man has already prepared everything. Wang Shi'an hurriedly came to the side of the cart, and his groveling appearance made Yang Teng feel disgusted, is this still the head of the family!
In any case, the Wang family is also one of the four major families in Wind Thunder Town, and no matter how noble the identity of the envoy is, it is more than that.
"Smack!" the one-armed coachman put the whip away and raised his hand to raise the curtain of the carriage door.
A gust of fragrant wind came, and a slender figure appeared in Yang Teng's eyes.
The messenger is a woman?
Looking closely, Yang Teng almost didn't throw it up.
