Chapter 399: Meeting
Yang Chen and Master Wu had been sitting in the living room for more than an hour, and except for the occasional few maids who came up to add a cup of tea, no one came to greet them.
Lord Wu put his hands behind his back and walked around this living room, his face was a little anxious, he knew that this city lord was a person who was not easy to provoke, why did he accompany this Yang Chen to the city lord's mansion?
It's all to blame on Yang Chen, if he accidentally offended the city lord and was blamed, how could he bear it?
Lord Wu subconsciously glanced at Yang Chen, and saw that this guy was actually leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, which couldn't help but make Lord Wu sigh: "This young man who doesn't know what to do is good, he can pretend to be so calm wherever he goes." ”
Seeing that it was not a way to wait any longer, Lord Wu had the intention of leaving in his heart, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and Lord Wu quickly straightened up and sat down on the chair.
Xiang Zaitang walked in from the back hall alone, and when he saw Master Wu and Yang Chen sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but arch his hands and said, "Your guest is coming, Xiang has missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”
When Lord Wu saw Xiang Zaitang, he immediately got up, and immediately knelt down in front of Xiang Zaitang, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials see the city lord of Xiang. ”
"Hey, Lord Wu, hurry up and excuse me." Xiang Zaitang personally got up and helped this Lord Wu up: "There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Lord Wu came to my City Lord's Mansion today, but what important things do you want to report to me?" ”
Lord Wu said strangely, this person is in the hall today, and his temper is so good? What a hell of a thing.
"Lord of the City, I don't have anything to do today." Lord Wu said: "No, I am here to report to the city lord about the murder of children in Jizhou City. ”
"Oh?" Xiang Zaitang glanced at Yang Chen, and seeing that he was still sleeping calmly, he felt interesting in his heart, and couldn't help but say to Lord Wu: "Did you catch the murderer?" ”
Lord Wu shook his head embarrassedly: "Although I couldn't catch it, I already have a clue." ”
"What's the clue?" Xiang Zaitang asked.
How did Lord Wu know what clues there were, all of this was just in Yang Chen's hands, he glanced at Yang Chen, and hurriedly whispered: "Yang Chen...... Yang Chen......"
It's just that this Yang Chen seems to have settled down, no matter how Lord Wu calls, he can't wake him up.
"Who is this man?" Xiang Zaitang asked.
He ...... He is ...... "Lord Wu is not easy to introduce Yang Chen's identity, could it be that he is the grandson-in-law of one of his subordinates?" Saying it like this, didn't Xiang Zaitang immediately remove himself from the position of county magistrate?
"Could it be that he is the one who knows the clues to this case?" Xiang Zaitang asked.
"Yes, yes......" Lord Wu hurriedly said: "He is a master invited by the lower officials, and he is good at all kinds of difficult cases. "Anyway, Yang Chen is asleep, he shouldn't be able to hear what he said, so in front of Xiang Zaitang, if he can get a little credit, it can be regarded as a little credit.
"Since it is a talent, then the lord of this city should cherish it." Xiang Zaitang said with a smile: "I'll wake him up, I think he will give me a face." ”
Lord Wu was very surprised, if it was according to his previous temper and Yang Chen's attitude, Xiang Zaitang would have asked Yang Chen to be pulled out and fed to the dogs, but he didn't expect that Xiang Zaitang would be willing to call Yang Chen in person?
Xiang Zaitang slowly approached Yang Chen, he really didn't expect that this young man who had repelled the Dong'e army would come to his mansion and be so rude.
Presumably he also listened to the words of this Lord Wu and thought that he was a treacherous city lord, right?
Xiang Zaitang smiled in his heart, he secretly used his power in the palm of his hand, and patted Yang Chen's shoulder lightly.
Yang Chen was already closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly felt a hot feeling coming from his shoulder, making him feel a burning sensation all over his body, he shook his shoulder, and a sword qi came out, which instantly dissolved the burning feeling.
Xiang Zaitang was surprised, he really didn't expect that this person was so young and his martial arts were so powerful, no wonder he could get Lao Xing's praise.
Yang Chen stretched and slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at Xiang Zaitang in front of him, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Yang Chen, don't be rude." Lord Wu hurriedly said: "This is our lord of Jizhou City, when you see him, why don't you kneel down and salute?" ”
If you talk about official positions, with Xiang's status in the hall, it is far inferior to Yang Chen, Yang Chen doesn't even kneel down to the current Holy Emperor Hongwu, how can he kneel to the city lord of this small Jizhou City?
The burning sensation just now came from the city lord in front of him, I really didn't expect that the city lord of Jizhou City actually had amazing martial arts, no wonder the Dong'a people did not dare to attack Jizhou City head-on, but went around in a circle and attacked from Liao City.
"Hello, Lord Castle." Yang Chen smiled: "It's been a long time since I came to Jizhou, and I actually came to the City Lord's Mansion to pay a visit, it's really rude." ”
"Yang Chen, what are you talking nonsense?" Lord Wu had never seen such an unenlightened young man, and he was actually embarrassed to say that he hadn't come to the City Lord's Mansion to pay a visit earlier? Who does he think he is?
"He's not talking nonsense." Xiang Zaitang said with a smile: "Yang Shaoxia has been in Jizhou City for so long, I know that I was negligent, I was busy with some urgent matters just now, and I am really sorry that Yang Shaoxia has been waiting for a long time." ”
Lord Wu was simply stunned, he even rubbed his eyes, he wanted to see clearly, did he go to the wrong door, is this still the same thing?
"It's okay, I accidentally fell asleep just now." Yang Chen said: "The chair of your city lord's mansion is quite comfortable to sit on, this tea is also fresh and delicious, and the little girl who sent the tea is even more sweet and lovely, such a match, let me accidentally fall asleep, and please forgive the city lord." ”
"Haha......" Xiang Zaitang laughed: "It turns out that I, the city lord's mansion, have made Yang Shaoxia so satisfied, so why don't Yang Shaoxia stay for three or five days?" The maids in my house, all of them are first-class, if Yang Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, just choose a few nights to sleep with you. ”
Lord Wu suddenly drooled, and he said, "Lord City, can I also ......?"
"Well, you're fine, you can go." Xiang Zaitang waved his hand at Lord Wu.
"Hey, I didn't mean that, I wanted to have a ......maid too" Lord Wu still wanted to speak, but when he saw Xiang Zaitang glaring at him, Lord Wu immediately said in a familiar voice: "That's nothing, the lower official will retire." ”
Yang Chen also knew that there was no point in this Lord Wu staying in this City Lord's Mansion, so he went with him.
After Lord Wu left, Xiang Zaitang suddenly waved his palm at Yang Chen! (To be continued.) )
