Chapter 57: Wu Anbo
"Deputy helper, great joy, great joy, the emperor canonized you as an earl, and now the eunuch who announced the decree is waiting outside, you should go out quickly to receive the decree. ”
In the noisy voice, Scar crawled to the martial arts training ground, shouting to Zhou Lie excitedly.
He was extremely excited, as if it was not Zhou Lie who was made an earl, but himself.
"Knighted?"
Zhou Lie flicked the dust on his clothes, his face was calm and calm, and there were not too many fluctuations in his heart.
Scar saw that Zhou Lie was not in a hurry, not surprised or happy, and his heart became more and more admired.
If he had been canonized as an earl, he would have fainted with excitement, where could he be as calm and relaxed as Zhou Lie.
"Go and get me a plate of gold, and give it to the eunuch who pronounced the decree later. ”
Zhou Lie gave Scar an order, and the latter immediately went to the account room to bring a plate of gold, and then the two walked towards the gate of the Tyrant Sword Society.
At the gate at this moment, the roar of firecrackers continued, and many bigwigs from Beihai City came.
City Lord Xia Hongyuan, Huang Xiongshi, the head of the Huang family, Chang Wei of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, Lu Yao of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and many officials from the county government also came to congratulate.
Xiong Tianba's face was full of spring breeze, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger, and he was warmly entertaining these VIPs.
"Tsk, now our sword boss will be in the limelight, and the deputy gang leader has been knighted. ”
"That is, the deputy gang leader killed the young master of the Five Poisons Sect at the martial arts competition, smashed the conspiracy of the Five Poisons Sect to infiltrate Beihai City, and saved countless Li people, so it is reasonable to be knighted. ”
"I heard that the city lord reported this matter to the emperor of Yanjing City, and the emperor immediately issued an order to canonize it after hearing Longyan Dayue. ”
"Can you not appreciate it? Can you not carry it? The deputy gang leader saved the life of the city lord from Dai Xiao at the martial arts competition, this is called repaying gratitude, understand?"
.........
Many members of the Overlord Sword Society gathered together, looking at the group of big people at the door, and kept talking, everyone's face was full of pride.
Soon, Zhou Lie came to the gate, Xia Hongyuan, Huang Xiongshi, Chang Wei, Lu Yao and others all surrounded him, and they were enthusiastic and congratulated.
"Gongzi Zhou, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your knighthood. ”
"The first time I saw Zhou Gongzi, I knew that you were not very human, take a look, now you are really knighted. ”
"This is a little bit of my heart, and I ask you to laugh at it. ”
These bigwigs congratulated, and the minions behind them all brought bags of gifts over.
Scar immediately went up with a few people and accepted all the gifts.
After everyone congratulated, a white-faced eunuch wearing an official robe walked up, unfolded the golden decree in his hand, and began to read it aloud in the voice of the male duck.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the Five Poisons Sect lurks in the territory of Great Xia, intending to plot the power of Beihai City, endangering the life and death of the people of Limin, at this critical moment, fortunately Zhou Aiqing appeared in time, killed the five poisonous young masters by force, and saved Beihai City in danger, I am very relieved, Zhou Aiqing is a young hero, brave and strategic, excellent martial arts, and stable in a city, so he was canonized as Wu Anbo, and he admired this. ”
Hearing the eunuch announce the holy decree, Zhou Lie immediately made a look.
Scar understood, holding a plate of gold and sending it up, the eunuch accepted it with a smile, and praised at the same time: "Wu Anbo, you are really a young hero, look at your age is only eighteen years old, you were named an earl at such a young age, and we are the first in the entire Great Xia Dynasty." ”
"Hahaha. ”
Zhou Lie laughed and said: "Thank you father-in-law for your praise, I am also thanks to the love of the city lord, and the emperor's holy grace is immense." ””
"Lord of the city, distinguished guests, the banquet has been prepared, please enter the courtyard for a while. ”
Seeing that the holy decree was read, Xiong Tianba immediately began to warmly entertain everyone and led everyone into the courtyard.
After a social meeting, it was not until the afternoon that everyone dispersed, and the courtyard gradually became deserted.
City Lord Xia Hongyuan did not leave, and stayed behind with a few guards.
He looked at Zhou Lie and said in a serious tone: "Gongzi Zhou, I have always been very accurate in my opinion, with your martial arts talent, you will definitely be able to promote to the Holy Martial Arts in time, become an official in the dynasty, and become a peerless figure like the champion Hou Xia Feihu. ”
"The lord of the city has won the prize. ”
Zhou Lie smiled slightly, but the city lord said that he could be promoted to the Saint Martial Realm, and he himself did not doubt it.
"It's not a big prize. ”
Xia Hongyuan said in an appreciative tone: "Regarding some of the situation of Zhou Gongzi, I have also learned some things through Tianba, every time you face a powerful enemy, you can skip the level and challenge, and this time you killed the young master of the Five Poisons Sect, it seems that you did not exert all your strength, and the martial arts cultivation is simply a terrifying mess." ”
"It's all a fluke, a fluke. ”
Zhou Lie's face was modest.
Xia Hongyuan nodded, his face was even more appreciative, and said: "I heard that Zhou Gongzi is in the Blue Mountain Academy, accompanying the daughter of the Han family to study, and still living in the servant's house, this is very inappropriate, it just so happens that I have a mansion on the outskirts of the city, and the environment is elegant, so I gave it to Zhou Gongzi." ”
"The city lord is a gift, how dare I refuse. ”
Zhou Lie didn't postpone it in the slightest, and accepted it at once.
Xiong Tianba and Scar, looking at Zhou Lie, did not shirk at all, they were stunned for a moment, and then they came back to their senses, secretly admiring Zhou Lie's decisiveness in their hearts.
Obviously, Xia Hongyuan wants to befriend Zhou Lie, if he pushes back, he just doesn't recognize the friend of the city lord, which seems a little unkind.
"Hahaha, Zhou Gongzi is really refreshing!"
Xia Hongyuan saw that Zhou Lie agreed in one breath, and a smile appeared on his face, knowing that Zhou Lie recognized him as a friend.
He had long seen that Zhou Lie was not a thing in the pool, he could turn into a divine dragon when he encountered water, and sooner or later he would be able to rival Xia Feihu, such a character must be befriended.
He is not willing to occupy the place of Beihai City, if he develops in Yanjing City in the future, Zhou Lie may be able to become his biggest help.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Xia Hongyuan also left with the guards.
The mansion given by Xia Hongyuan is in Qingquan Town, which is not far from the outskirts of the city.
The location of Qingquan Town is very good, there is a stream outside the town, winding for dozens of miles, and the stream water is sweet and delicious.
The whole town is also extremely prosperous, and if you want to buy something, you don't have to travel far to Beihai City.
The most important thing is that the environment here is elegant, with willows hugging everywhere, fertile fields, winding streams, and fish and shrimp in the stream are also extremely fat, which is like a paradise on earth.
The next day, Zhou Lie, Xiong Tianba, and Scar came to this mansion with a carriage and bags.
"Nice big house. ”
This was Zhou Lie's emotion when he saw the mansion for the first time.
The whole mansion has a lot of yards, more than 50 rooms, small bridges and flowing water, rockery gardens, everything.
Above the gate, there is a huge plaque with the four big characters of "Wu'anbo Mansion" written on it.
