Chapter 69: Uninvited Guest!
"Brush!"
Ximen Hao pretended to open the folding fan very forcefully, fanned the cold breeze, and said lightly:
"The people are the foundation of the country, and if you lose the support of the people, how can you govern the country?"
Although we Tianqing advocate martial arts, the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of cultivators are almost inseparable from those people. His Royal Highness's words today hit the nail on the head, and the lower officials have been taught!"
Behind Hu Yanzhuo, an official bowed to Ximen Hao with a look of admiration.
And Hu Yanzhuo and others have also changed the legendary waste prince.
In fact, when they saw each other for the first time, they knew that this prince of Qingguo was no longer the waste he was at the beginning.
"Hehe~ This is just nonsense, when it comes to governing the country, it depends on all the adults, Your Majesty and the civil and military talents of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
Ximen Hao humbly arched his hand, he was polite at this time, and he was a gentleman on the cliff.
So much so that familiar others all speculate, does this prince have a double or multiple personality?
"Hahaha, everyone, the dinner is ready, let's stop standing outside. Your Highness, please. ”
Hu Yanzhuo suddenly became happy, maybe this big prince didn't seem so bad when he came to Winter Rin City.
"Lord of the castle, ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
......
Bypassing the lobby of the city lord's office, behind it is the inner courtyard, which is also Hu Yanzhuo's residence.
In Gyeongguk, the offices and residences of the city lords, even the county guards, and the officials in charge were built together to facilitate protection.
After all, the Tianqing Continent is a world of martial artists, and murder often happens.
Hu Yanzhuo had already ordered someone to set up three tables in the dining room in the inner courtyard, one large and two small.
The big ones are themselves and the important officials of the City Lord's Mansion, who are used to greet Ximen Hao.
The two small ones are some petty officials, as well as subordinates brought by the eldest prince.
The cooks, maids, and servants of the City Lord's Mansion were busy, and exquisite dishes were placed on the table, and a jar of fine wine was served.
Ximen Hao sat at the head of the big table, and beside him sat the faithful maid Daji, who straightened the eyes of those city lord's officials.
Daji calmly sandwiched the dishes for Ximen Hao, and in her eyes, everyone in the room was transparent.
Ximen Hao glanced at the officials in the restaurant and found that all the people in Yishui were civilians, except for Zhao Yunlong, who was sitting with Ji Wuxi, there was no military attaché!
"Lord of the city, why didn't you invite the military attache to a banquet?"
Hu Yanzhuo was about to take a toast, but put it down again:
"Your Highness, Dongrin City is located in the northern fortress and is the northern gate of Qingguo, and the military attaches have a great responsibility!"
"Oh~ I see. ”
Ximen Hao nodded dryly, and during the day, he also saw the demon beasts of the other party's nephews swaggering through the market, it seems that the military attaches of this Winter Rin City look down on themselves a little!
Hu Yanzhuo looked at Ximen Hao's appearance, rolled his eyes, and picked up his wine glass:
"Your Highness, the lower official respects you a glass and welcomes your Highness to Winter Rin City as a guest. ”
"Welcome to Winter Rin City!" the other civil officials raised their glasses at the same time.
"Hahaha! I can't talk about being a guest, I'm here to recuperate, and I won't have to bother you in the future. Here, cheers!"
Ximen Hao also picked up his wine glass, and then drank it all.
After that, this foodie, who had eaten dry food all the way, rolled up his sleeves, threw off his arms and started to build, without the slightest demeanor just now.
Hu Yanzhuo and other officials looked at it, their eyelids jumped, what kind of special is this the eldest prince with fine clothes and fine food? Why does it look like a refugee?
But think about it and everyone understands.
The eldest prince was sick in bed for several years, and after he recovered, he fell ill and killed many of the prince's guards.
That is, on the second day of waking up, His Majesty sent him to Dongrin City for refuge to avoid the impeachment of the Manchu civil and military forces.
From Tianqing City to Dongrin City, if ordinary people take more than two months to travel, and the other party only takes more than a month, it must be a meal and a camp, and it is indeed difficult for this big prince.
The dinner party fell into a long silence, and only the sound of chewing and chirping could be heard, and no one disturbed Ximenhao's gluttonous feast.
The atmosphere fell into a strange moment, but this weirdness was interrupted by two military attachés who suddenly arrived!
"My lord, the garrison army is all here, and the unequaled iron cavalry, and the golden battalion are here. ”
The old butler leaned into Hu Yanzhuo's ear and whispered.
Hu Yanzhuo was about to say something, but he heard the sound of iron armor outside.
I saw that the leader was a middle-aged general in silver armor, and the second general was bright-eyed, handsome, and imposing.
Behind this man, his nephew trotted behind, as if he was afraid of the general in front of him.
In fact, both of them are all commanders, the front is the unequaled iron cavalry of the capital commander Zhao Yuan, and the garrison behind is all Hu Yanda.
But the capital of a garrison army, not to mention compared with the unequaled iron cavalry, is not even as good as the conventional troops. To put it bluntly, it is to take a look at the city and manage the security in the city.
"Father!"
Zhao Yunlong, who was eating at the small table, got up suddenly, his face changed, and he hurriedly saluted.
At the same time, everyone stood up, including Hu Yanzhuo.
The only ones who didn't get up were Ximen Hao, who was still eating Haisai, and Ji Wuxi, and even the old ghost stood up.
The reputation of the Wushuang Iron Cavalry is too great, and one of the capitals in it is even higher in terms of treatment and status than the generals of ordinary armies.
"Whoa!"
Zhao Yuan stood at the door, his eyes swept over the people in the room like a sharp sword, and then fell on Ximen Hao's body.
Ximen Hao was still eating by himself, as if he was a big foodie, and he made more than half of the delicacies on the table.
And Daji, who is dressed as a maid, is still working diligently for her master, sandwiching delicious dishes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was surprisingly quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes swept back and forth on Ximen Hao and Zhao Yuan.
Today, no military attache was invited, and all the unequaled iron horsemen came, and I don't know what will happen.
"Uh......"
Ximen Hao gave a long burp, then drank a glass of wine.
Daji reached out and handed over a steaming handkerchief, not knowing where it came from.
Ximen Hao wiped his mouth, then threw the handkerchief on the table, leaned back in his chair and raised his head, looking at the silver-armored general who was looking directly at him at the door.
"Wow!"
Zhao Yuan clenched his fists, and the chain mail on his body made a sound.
"Peerless Iron Cavalry, the Golden Battalion is the capital: Zhao Yuan! I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Ximen Hao looked at the other party and saw contempt and even contempt in the other party's eyes, which was exactly the same as Zhao Yunlong's eyes at the beginning.
Zhao Yuan was still holding his fists, but his head was slightly raised, and his eyes were looking at Ximen Hao, flashing in the dim light.
