Chapter 12: The City of the Guardians
Spring finally came, and on both sides of the avenue of the city gate of Weishi City, which was four days away from Yaocheng, the grass buds with a little star began to stubbornly top the land above the head, popping up, adding color to the earth and announcing the arrival of spring.
From time to time, a carriage or two and caravans laden with supplies came and went along the wide avenue. All of them were told by the soldiers guarding the gate today that the main gate was not open today, and they had to enter or leave the city through the side gate, because it was said that the city of Weishi was going to welcome a big man today, and even the city lord came to the city gate early to wait.
In the teahouse next to the city gate, a group of people are drinking morning tea.
Among them, there was a person on the table who was knocking melon seeds, staring closely at the main gate of Weishi City, and poked his friend who was drinking tea with his elbow while staring, and said, "Hey, have you heard? There is a big man who is going to pass by our Weishi City today, and our city lord has to come and wait early." ”
"The city lords are here! What a big character, can we little people see it?"
His friend asked, a little skeptically.
"Who knows! ”
The man spat out the shell of the melon seed and replied.
His friend smiled disdainfully and said, "Isn't our city lord also a soul seal realm? Besides, our city lord was still a soldier under the account of the general of the Yaocheng General's Mansion back then, and he was sent here by the general to be the city lord after making great contributions, who can let him wait early? Could it be that he is a great general? I haven't heard of it?"
"Whatever, anyway, he didn't come to trouble our city lord, the development of this Guardian City can reach the current point, and our city lord has contributed a lot!"
He had been stumbling melon seeds for a long time, a little thirsty, and took a sip of tea, his eyes still firmly fixed on the city gate.
"That is, even if General Li Yaofeng comes, he has to give our city lord some face. His friend said proudly.
"Don't brag, look! Coming! Coming!! Six cloud-stepping horses!"
......
In front of the tall gate of Weishi City, a huge luxury carriage led by six tall snow-white cloud-stepping horses appeared.
"Phew~"
The coachman who stepped on the cloud carriage pulled the reins of the cloud horse, the horse stopped, the carriage fell to the ground, and there was a soft noise, stirring up a puff of dust.
The carriage of the City Lord's Mansion, which was originally parked outside the city gate, heard the sound of the horse's hooves falling to the ground, and a middle-aged man wearing an orange robe like a bamboo pole stepped down from above.
Why do you say that he is like a bamboo pole? Because his body is too slender, but he is so thin that it seems that a wind with a small starting point can blow him away.
The orange city lord uniform under the jurisdiction of the Yaocheng General's Mansion not only did not show majesty on him, but looked a little like a yellow bamboo pole because of his thin and slender figure.
He is the first fierce general under Li Zhenyuan back then, and the current city lord of Weishi City, Qianfeng.
Qianfeng stepped out of the carriage and stood by the city gate, waiting for Li Qingyun and his party on the cloud carriage to come down with a flattering face.
Mr. Wen lifted the curtain of the carriage, stepped out of the carriage first, and looked at the dry wind that greeted them with a smile on his face.
Li Qingyun also helped Zhao Xue'er get out of the carriage, led Zhao Xue'er, and stood beside Mr. Wen to watch the dry breeze coming from the trot.
"Uncle Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately, my little nephew has been missing you very much!"
Qianfeng bent over and looked at Mr. Wen flatteringly.
"I said, Qianfeng, don't make up your mind from me, my old bones can't withstand your toss, let's see the young general first. ”
Mr. Wen leaned sideways to the side and pulled Li Qingyun to introduce to Qianfeng.
Qianfeng immediately turned around and bent over to curry favor with Li Qingyun, wiped his hand on his clothes, and then reached out to hold Li Qingyun's hand, and said with a flattering smile: "Hello young general! Today, when I saw that the young general was really dignified, majestic, and domineering, he had the demeanor of a great general back then! The little one was a follower in the general's tent, so it would be good if you could call me Qianfeng!"
Zhao Xue'er looked at Qianfeng curiously, she had never seen a person with such a slender figure.
Li Qingyun looked at Qianfeng with tears and laughter, and said: "Uncle Qian, don't make fun of me, grandpa explained it when he came, let me tell you that as long as there is a battle, he will let you go back to the barracks." ”
Qianfeng asked with a look of surprise: "When will there be a war, today, or tomorrow?" You tell me a letter, and I will go back to pack my things immediately. ”
Li Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry! Grandpa said that it depends on the timing." ”
When Qianfeng heard Li Qingyun say this, his whole person instantly fell into decay, and his eyes lost their brilliance.
Mr. Wen looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, and persuaded Qianfeng and said, "Okay, don't be sad, the general said, you will be the city lord of Weishi City for another five years, and I will let you go back to the barracks!"
When Qianfeng heard Mr. Wen say this, he glanced at Mr. Wen and said sadly: "Why is it so long!
After speaking, he looked at Mr. Wen with a look of hope.
Mr. Wen scolded with a smile: "Okay, bargain again, I'll tell the general when I go back, let your kid be the city lord for life in Weishi City!"
Qianfeng immediately changed his face and said flatteringly: "Don't don't, don't be, you have mercy under your mouth, you don't know, I'm about to fade out of a bird here." My former colleagues didn't want to come again after coming once, and I was easy. ”
Mr. Wen stroked his forehead, looked at Qianfeng helplessly and said, "Who asked them to come to you for the past three days, can you ask more than 760 times when the general will let you go back?"
Qianfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Don't I want to go back too?" I haven't asked yet, who is this?" Qianfeng looked at Zhao Xue'er.
Mr. Wen replied: "I haven't introduced it yet, this is the wife of the young general who has not passed through the door, Zhao Xue'er." ”
"It turned out to be the wife of the young general, hello! Just call me Qianfeng!" Qianfeng said to Zhao Xue'er.
Zhao Xue'er made a junior salute and replied, "Hello Uncle Qian!"
Mr. Wen looked at the sun and said to the three of them: "Okay, don't stand here and say, Qianfeng, don't you let the young general visit the Weishi City?"
Qianfeng suddenly patted his forehead, and said to everyone with an apologetic face: "Look at my memory, where is this place to talk, I prepared a banquet in the city lord's mansion, and I forgot to say it." ”
Mr. Wen laughed and said, "It's not too late to say, let's go, Qiancheng Lord!"
Qianfeng stretched out his hand to beckon the carriage waiting on the side, and said, "This place is still some distance from the City Lord's Mansion, please go to the carriage first, and it will be there in a while!"
Mr. Wen nodded and said to Li Qingyun and Zhao Xue'er, "Let's get into the carriage first." ”
"Hmm!"
Li Qingyun helped Zhao Xue'er into the car first, and followed himself. Mr. Wen also followed.
After Qianfeng saw that everyone had gotten into the carriage, he also got into his own carriage, and then said to the coachman, "Let's go, go back to the city lord's mansion." ”
......
Inside the carriage
Li Qingyun said with a wry smile: "I have heard my grandfather say a long time ago, this uncle is a god who gives him a headache, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!"
Zhao Xue'er covered her mouth next to her and chuckled: "It's really powerful, no wonder grandpa has a headache." ”
Mr. Wen laughed and said: "Your grandfather is really annoying him because he is more verbose, but he is still very capable! First of all, his ability to lead soldiers was taught by your grandfather back then, although it is not as good as your grandfather, but it is not far behind. Don't look at him like a bamboo pole, but in fact he is a fierce general under your grandfather's command! Second, although his ability to arrange troops is not as good as your father's, he is also a first-class good player! In addition, he is also good at doing business, and he is the best at the current scale of Weishi City! He is also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! He can also have some superficial medical skills! The Chongming visualization map in the Yaocheng General's Mansion, he also cultivates the best! Although he can't practice the military seal because he doesn't have the bloodline of the General's Mansion, he is also a strong man in the Soul Seal Realm now! Such a person really deserves the evaluation of your grandfather as a god!"
Zhao Xue'er grew her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect that this funny-looking uncle was so powerful!
Li Qingyun was also shocked, this is too strong!
Mr. Wen was very satisfied when he saw the surprised look of the two and a half children, and he laughed.
......
As the two carriages swayed through the downtown area, and after coming to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Weishi City, Qianfeng jumped down first, and warmly beckoned everyone who had already gotten off the carriage to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion in Weishi City did not have the grandeur that Li Qingyun imagined, and it seemed to be the courtyard of an ordinary big family.
After arriving at the hall, Qianfeng beckoned everyone to go inside and came to the restaurant.
"Mr. Wen, please! Major General, please! Mrs. Major General, please!" Qianfeng stretched out and invited everyone to take their seats.
On the round dining table, there are already good wine dishes, Qianfeng smiled and said: "It's all some home-cooked food, it's more rude, I'm learning cooking recently, today's dishes are all from my handiwork, please taste how it tastes!"
He can even cook!
Li Qingyun twitched the corners of his mouth, he had just recovered from the shock, and Qianfeng gave him another surprise.
Mr. Wen smiled and asked, "Yo, yes, have you learned something new?"
Qianfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "These are all for fun, they are not delicious, and please give your opinions! I will improve." Don't be stunned, let's eat. ”
Everyone began to eat, and while Zhao Xue'er was eating, she asked Qianfeng for cooking experience.
"Well, I haven't learned much about this thing, and I hope that my grandmother will give me more guidance. ”
Qianfeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, thought about it and said to Zhao Xue'er.
Zhao Xue'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, your cooking is delicious! It's much better than the food I cooked! I should learn from you." ”
Qianfeng clenched his fists and laughed and said, "Hahahaha, it seems that I am naturally excellent, ashamed!"
Mr. Wen said to Qianfeng with a black line on his face: "Don't be shameless! Eat well!"
When Qianfeng heard Mr. Wen say this, he covered his face and held back a smile, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry to disturb everyone! Everyone eat, eat! After eating, I'll take you around Weishi City! Hahahahaha!"
Everyone had a black line on their faces......
