Chapter 3: The City Lord's Manor
Moving his gaze from the Blue Water Sword a little higher, facing Lan Ling's cold gaze, Wang Ping's pale face became a little more pale.
As the saying goes, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials.
His father is very rich, yes, but the identity of a wealthy merchant is a little inadequate compared to the status of the entire city lord of Yushui City.
It is said that the daughter of the city lord has been traveling for a long time, why did she come back suddenly? Forget about coming back suddenly, why was she bumped into by herself? Coincidentally, she offended him!
Wang Ping seems to be dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering, I'm afraid, this is the most unlucky thing he has encountered in his life so far.
He took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to the two, "Miss Lan, this is a misunderstanding, you are clumsy in your eyes, and you have offended you by not knowing Taishan." ”
Lan Ling didn't say a word, fiddling with the blue water sword in his hand, and didn't pay attention to him.
Yang Yanfeng smiled, it seems that the identity of the daughter of the city lord is still a barbarian town, and this Wang Ping is obviously afraid.
Thinking of this, Yang Yanfeng took a few steps forward and patted Wang Ping's shoulder, "If Miss Lan's identity is not disclosed, what will happen to the end?"
Hearing this, Wang Ping swallowed his saliva, and a few drops of cold sweat fell from his cheeks, if Lan Ling's identity was not seen by the onlookers, if the two of them didn't have such skills, they would probably be bullied by ordinary people, and the consequences could be imagined.
He was very smart, and he didn't answer positively, but Shanshan said with a smile, "Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved in time, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family didn't know my own family." ”
"Who is your own family member with this scumbag?" Lan Ling, who had been focusing on the Bishui Sword, suddenly glanced at Wang Ping and spoke unceremoniously, making the latter very embarrassed.
Yang Yanfeng shrugged his shoulders, "You also saw that Miss Lan obviously felt that you were not sincere enough to forgive you, so let's do it, you learn from your companion...... No, it's your dog, kneel down and kowtow a few times, and when Miss Lan's anger subsides, this matter will be over. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Ping's face froze, how could he say that he was also a figure with a head and a face in this Yushui City, wouldn't it be too faceless to ask him to kneel and kowtow in public?
"Why? Yang Yanfeng teased with a smile, "If you don't want to, you just don't know what will happen if Miss Lan sues the city lord." ”
What will happen if you go to the lord of the city? The lord of the city will order his father to teach his son nothing, and then the father will go home and give him a beating, and he may also cut off his pocket money, and squandering without money is a fatal thing for a gentleman.
At the thought of this worst-case scenario, Wang Ping felt a pain in his head.
kneeling down in public and kowtowing to admit mistakes, what you lose is face; But once you make your father unhappy, you will be ruined.
Face and money, for a gentleman, perhaps the former is more important, but for a gentleman, compared with money, face or something is not worth mentioning.
With a "plop", Wang Ping suddenly knelt down in front of Lan Ling and kowtowed to her three times in a row.
"I'm sorry I was wrong, I don't know Taishan with eyes, I offended Miss Lan, I'm stupid, I deserve to die!" He slapped himself as he said this, like a clown jumping off a beam.
"Get out, don't appear in front of my eyes in the future!" Lan Ling drank coldly, and when he heard that Wang Ping had been pardoned, he fled in dismay, and several of his companions who were not seriously injured also followed, and as for the few who fell to the ground, they were left hanging there, and no one cared about them.
As a few people left, the onlookers burst into a burst of warm applause, as the people of this Yushui City, they have no power or money in their hands, and they are not less bullied by this kind of fool on weekdays, and it is really happy to see Wang Ping so embarrassed today.
Yang Yanfeng gave Lan Ling a thumbs up, "Yo, Miss Lan is very domineering!"
"Not really!" Lan Lingqiao said coquettishly with a slightly red face.
In fact, she is not very good at dealing with this kind of social scum, because her father has set a lot of rules and regulations for herself, even if she has a high combat effectiveness, she does not dare to act rashly in the town.
Today, under the influence of Yang Yanfeng, I made a move, but I didn't expect it to feel so cool, no wonder there are rangers who take pleasure in punishing rape and eliminating evil.
Back at the inn, the two rested for a while, then borrowed a horse from the shopkeeper and hurried towards the castle lord's manor.
The development of this Imperial Water City is quite rich, and the city lord's manor must be magnificent, although Yang Yanfeng has long been mentally prepared, but when he really faces the real thing, he is still shocked.
The carved and jade black iron gate, there is a dragon pattern statue erected on both sides of the gate, Yang Yanfeng peeked at the building behind the door, quite a sense of the palace pavilion in ancient times, the whole manor is colored in blue and white tones, which is very in line with the meaning of the word "water" in the water city.
He instantly felt that the mansion of a few acres of land of the modern local tyrant was really not enough compared to what he saw in front of him.
"Miss, this trip has been hard, and the city lord misses you very much. ”
The two guards at the door saw that Lan Ling was politely bent down to greet him.
"Uh-huh, I'm going to see my father!" Lan Ling smiled and nodded, and then walked towards the door, she was already a little eager to see her father.
With that, Lan Ling walked briskly inside, Yang Yanfeng wanted to follow, but the guard's two spears blocked his way.
Yang Yanfeng frowned, but he didn't say anything, not everyone can enter a place like this, and he also knows this, just like an embassy, a council hall or something like that.
"Miss, who is this?"
The two guards were very polite, but they were disgusted in their hearts, the person in front of them was not the heir of a wealthy official eunuch at first glance, not to mention that Yang Yanfeng was still looking around at the manor like a hillbilly, which made the guards' impression of him a little worse.
"Oh, this is my friend, please let it go!" Lan Ling said.
As soon as the word "friend" came out, the two guards were stunned, they thought that Yang Yanfeng was at best an entourage, a servant or something.
No matter how unpleasant it looked, the young lady's friend must have been something they couldn't afford to offend, and the two immediately replied, "Yes!" , he moved the spear away, stood in place again, and resumed his upright posture.
So, Yang Yanfeng snorted proudly, and swaggered in.
Lan Ling scolded with a smile, "What are you angry with the two guards?"
Hearing this, Yang Yanfeng smiled.
The two of them walked towards the City Lord's Palace talking and laughing all the way, and the servants on the road naturally knew Lan Ling, and they all greeted her very respectfully, but they were a little surprised to see Yang Yanfeng walking beside Lan Ling.
Everyone gathered together quietly to discuss, speculating about the relationship between the two.
