Volume 3 Chapter 41: Mutual Hatred
On the outside of the house, Nangong Xiao flicked his sleeves, left the backyard, and returned to his garden.
Nangong Xiao's garden is much more gorgeous than Nangong Che and the others' garden, and those who don't know think he is the city lord of this Eastern Border City!
As soon as I stepped into the garden, I saw several middle-aged people sitting there from a distance.
Among the few people is Jiang Yong's old fritter, and the others are the elders and worshippers under Nangong Xiao's command.
Jiang Yong sat in the first seat, sipping tea and eating fruits, more leisurely than anyone else, and the elders next to him could hardly bear to look at him.
I'm muttering in my heart, tsk, I really regard this place as my own garden, and I don't know how to converge and converge.
Judging from the appearance of several elders, they don't like this Jiang Yong very much, and they are not welcomed and treated.
It's no wonder that this Jiang Yong fell on both sides, depending on the situation!
"The third prince is back. ”
"Well, Elder Fang, please take a seat, no need to be polite!"
Sitting opposite Jiang Yongzheng was a white-haired old man, his name was Fang Yuan, he was the patriarch of the Eastern Realm City Lord's Mansion, and he had made a lot of achievements to the Eastern Realm.
Fang Yuan has some rectum, as the saying goes, a tendon does not turn, he always focuses on the overall situation, never falls to anyone, only believes what his eyes see.
Even Nangong Che has to be respectful to him, and the reason why he came together is because he thinks Nangong Xiao is right, after all, Nangong Che has been gone for many years as the lord of a city, and he has never returned!
Therefore, in Fang Yuan's heart, Nangong Che's favorability plummeted by four or five points.
For the sake of face and etiquette, Fang Yuan respectfully greeted Nangong Xiao.
As Fang Yuan saluted, the other elders also stood up.
The respect that the elders present offered to Nangong Xiao instantly became his condescending reason.
flicked his sleeves, smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Everyone who comes is a guest, there is no need to make such a big gift, I really can't afford it!"
There is nothing wrong with the words, but there is a kind of arrogance in the careful taste.
There is also obviously enjoying this sense of superiority, but it is also hypocritically draped in a veil.
Fang Yuan heard it, but he didn't pierce this layer of paper.
Jiang Yong's eyes stared straight at Fang Yuan, and he scolded Fang Yuan in his heart for stealing the limelight.
The reason is that Jiang Yong was about to get up and salute Nangong Xiao first, but he was unexpectedly taken by this old man, which was very annoying!
"The dragon and phoenix among the three sons will definitely be able to lead our city to prosperity and spread in the future!" Jiang Yong put down the teacup, stood up, touched his beard with one hand and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jiang Yong strangely.
Even Nangong Xiao looked at Jiang Yong with strange eyes.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was complaining in his heart.
"Thanks to Jiang for offering auspicious words!" Nangong Xiao said to him.
After finishing speaking, he wiped a cold sweat, he was pushing himself into the fire pit.
Knowing that everyone here does not really belong to his command, Jiang Yong's words will not only not win everyone's trust, but will backfire.
You must know that Nangong Che is still there now, and his achievements are not bad when he was the city lord.
For a while, I was wondering if this Jiang offering was really unintentional, or deliberate, or maybe Jiang worship had fallen to Nangong Che?!
Some time ago, Jiang Yong went to visit Nangong Che, but he knew everything clearly.
Be as flattering as you want.
Jiang Yong saw that Nangong Xiao's face was wrong, and immediately realized the danger, so he immediately shut up and sat down obediently.
I have to say that Jiang Yong is still quite flexible in this regard, and he is quite good at observing words and feelings.
"Third Prince, I don't know what you mean by summoning us here today?" Fang Yuan touched his white beard and glanced at Nangong Xiaodao.
"Elder Fang is not in a hurry, I will explain to you later. ”
As soon as Fang Yuan's words came out, Nangong Xiao immediately cheered up his spirits.
He couldn't offend it, so he had to be careful.
"Oh?" Fang Yuan frowned and looked at Nangong Xiao.
The others frowned at the same time, they were all thinking about this like Fang Yuan.
Some of the people here, although they have been attached to Nangong Xiao, do not want to follow the example.
When the first city lord was in office, a prince was also like Nangong Xiao who was desperate to get this coveted position.
That son also privately wooed people, promised a lot of benefits, and when the plot changed one day, the son pushed out these people who belonged to him regardless of the bottom line, and destroyed them with his own hands.
This matter is a well-known news in the Nangong family and in Eastern Border City, so these people are a little worried.
"Elder worship, today I, Nangong Xiao, bring everyone together, I will not break my promise, I will definitely fulfill your wishes, and return the east to a beautiful state. Nangong Xiao suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands and smiled at everyone and said.
It's not so much a simple thing to say, it's better to be Nangong Xiao's promise.
Although some people listened to these words and the stone in their hearts fell to the ground, some people were full of uneasiness when they heard it.
For example, Fang Yuan, there were several other elders who were more assertive.
Clear-eyed people understand it very well, and they know very well that he is competing with Nangong Che.
However, this kind of family, since ancient times, it is indispensable for you to compete for me.
The others were also downplayed, Fang Yuan groped his beard and thought.
"Third Prince, it's not that we don't believe it, but now the outside world is not peaceful, I'm afraid..." Fang Yuan spoke again.
Judging from his tone and words, he extremely did not want the eastern realm to experience the turmoil of changing the city lord at this time.
"Yes, Third Prince, now that the city lord is back, and now that the situation outside is unstable, let's think about it in the long run. ”
"Yes, I agree with the two elders. ”
As soon as Fang Yuan's words came out, several other skeptical elders also spoke up.
Nangong Xiao sat in the middle position, holding his chin and looking at the group of people below.
Jiang Yong immediately stood up and said, "What are you talking about, since the situation outside is unstable, and I haven't seen anything from the city lord in today's chaos in the east, if it weren't for the third prince, I'm afraid that those thieves are coming to the city lord's mansion now." ”
Jiang Yong was a little excited!
"Oh, Jiang Feng is also in a hurry!" the others didn't dare to reply to Jiang Yong, but Fang Yuan, who had never spoken much, said a word.
Just this sentence made Jiang Yong not know how to respond.
Standing there, he waved his hand, and instantly felt a trace of embarrassment.
Immediately put down the hand that had nowhere to put it.
"Elder Fang, what you said is not right, how can I also be the worship of the City Lord's Mansion, naturally I am in a hurry, unlike some people. ”
"Heh, I see, I thought Jiang was worshipping and didn't know that he was worshipping!"
The two stared at each other face to face, and Jiang Yong, who was scolded again by Fang Yuan, had nothing to say.
What is it called, what does it mean to know that you are enshrined?!
What does that mean?!
Look down on people, yin and yang weird!
