Chapter Seventy-Seven: Going to the Feast
The next day, Wang Tianhu sent someone to invite Xiao Yu to the luncheon.
Originally, with Xiao Yu as a small broken lord, he was not qualified to let Wang Tianhu hold a luncheon for him, but the series of unusual performances by Xiao Yu made Wang Tianhu full of curiosity about Xiao Yu and paid attention to it.
Xiao Yu also knew that today's banquet Wang Tianhu would definitely not be as simple as just inviting him to a meal, so he made all preparations and brought Antonidas, Grom, and ten orc infantrymen with him.
These orc buddies no longer wore cloaks, but directly wore neat armor, carried wheels and axes, and walked all the way.
The place where Wang Tianhu held the banquet was the administrative hall in the city, not the city lord's mansion, to show his treatment of Xiao Yu, the duke. Since Xiao Yu had such a frenzy yesterday, there was no need for Wang Tianhu to make Xiao Yu feel that he didn't pay attention to him as a duke.
Aristocrats, self-esteem is extremely strong, even if it is a declining aristocracy, it is necessary to maintain the dignity of the nobility.
The administrative hall in the city was a certain distance from where Xiao Yu lived, so Xiao Yu decisively got into his luxurious carriage and appeared with absolute momentum.
Such carriages are not available everywhere.
Xiao Yu heard those robbers say that this carriage was a car for the emperor of the Yunmeng Empire, although I don't know if it's true or not, but at least the spectrum is definitely big enough.
A luxurious and luxurious carriage, with eight white horse-drawn carriages, surrounded by orc soldiers and magicians, such a pomp and circumstance, no matter where you go, it is absolutely full of aura.
When Xiao Yu's carriage was rampant on the streets of Fengyan City, the people on both sides looked sideways, thinking that it was not the emperor of the Tianshi Dynasty who was coming.
When he arrived at the door of the administrative hall, this time Wang Tianhu led a group of people to personally receive him here and greet the duke.
Seeing Xiao Yu's carriage so sassy, even Wang Tianhu was shocked, he just listened to Wang Zimo talk about Xiao Yu's luxurious carriage, but when he saw it with his own eyes, the visual effect was too strong.
Especially the eight white Pegasi, which made his eyes red. Back then, he had also found countless connections and bought some Pegasi, but only a few Pegasi with impure blood.
Xiao Yu directly used eight noble white horse-drawn carriages, which was simply fucking pretending to be limitless.
Such a good horse, isn't it good to ride? You have to pull a car.
"Ahaha, Uncle Wang, you are too polite, how can you let you come to the door to greet you in person. Last time I said that, I wasn't talking about you, just about that fat man. How dare I do this if you say that? Xiao Yu got out of the carriage and hurriedly said politely.
Wang Tianhu said with a smile on his face: "Nephew Xiao Xian, you are now inheriting your father's dukedom, and welcoming you is actually equivalent to welcoming Brother Xiao, which is a respect for Brother Xiao, a first-class duke back then." β
Wang Tianhu scolded in his heart: "If you hadn't made such a big move last time, do you think I would be willing to come?" Lao Tzu came to greet your father, not you. β
Peeking at the orc guards beside Xiao Yu, Wang Tianhu was also secretly shocked in his heart, although he had known that Xiao Yu had orc guards, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, much stronger than the orcs he had seen when he had been adventuring before. Especially Grom, that kind of self-respecting momentum, makes people feel that this orc is definitely an orc leader.
"Where did this Xiao Yu get so many orcs? And there is such an orc leader? Now the relationship between orcs and humans has long been incompatible, and orcs hate humans when they see them, how can they still be his guards? β
Wang Tianhu was very puzzled, but he didn't want to ask too much at this time, so he could only welcome Xiao Yu in first.
Xiao Yu took Grom and Antonidas in, while the other ten orc buddies were all waiting outside, standing by the carriage to fill the faΓ§ade.
Many of the people who were watching the excitement had already followed, and they gathered in a group in front of the administrative hall, pointing at the luxurious carriage and the powerful orcs, and discussing who could make the lord go out to greet him personally.
Xiao Yu and Wang Tianhu entered the administrative hall together, at this time, there were already some celebrities waiting inside, and when they saw Xiao Yu coming, they all walked out and saluted Xiao Yu.
Indeed, Xiao Yu's title, no matter where he goes, is almost always saluted by others. There are not many people who can make him salute first, and there are not many in the entire empire right now.
Wang Tianhu introduced these celebrities to Xiao Yu one by one, Xiao Yu greeted each one with a smile, a very modest attitude, standardized etiquette, proper speech, neither humble nor arrogant, gestures, all of them are the demeanor of absolute nobles, who can connect him with the rogue lord yesterday?
Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu and invited so many celebrities nearby, a little strange, and said secretly in his heart: "Even if you want to fix me, you don't need to get so many people to come, right?" Why are several lords from other realms here? This old man Wang seems to have a lot of means. β
Many of these celebrities looked down on him, the lord of the small Lion King Domain, but because of the title of the other party's first-class duke and Xiao Zhantian's prestige back then, they all came to salute.
They saw that Xiao Yu dealt with it properly and had elegant etiquette, and they all felt that although the Xiao family was in decline, this heir seemed to be in the past.
Moreover, when they saw Grom next to Xiao Yu, they were all extremely curious, orcs were not unusual, but what they could really see was less after all, and there were even fewer orcs who could become human guards.
In it, Xiao Yu also saw Yun Cao and Kunca, who he saw yesterday, Yun Cao was greeted by Xiao Yu's old mother, and when he saw Xiao Yu at this time, although he couldn't wait to eat Xiao Yu, he still showed a very kind smile on his face, as if he was an old friend for many years. Let Xiao Yu sigh, he is worthy of being a person who plays politics, his skin is really thick enough, fortunately, his skin is not thin, otherwise he really can't deal with this kind of old guy.
That Cuenca, when he was introduced, turned out to be Wang Tianhu's second son-in-law and the husband of the second lady Xihong, which made Xiao Yu somewhat surprised.
Kunka is not as sophisticated as Yun Cao, he can hold back his anger, he was scolded by Xiao Yu yesterday, and not long after he went back, he learned that his wife was slapped by Xiao Yu's female guard, and she was almost killed, so she was naturally extremely angry, and today she saw the undisguised murder in Xiao Yu's eyes. If Wang Tianhu hadn't instructed him not to do it casually in advance, he would have gone directly to Xiao Yu's residence.
Everyone entered the hall and sat down according to the guest and host, Xiao Yu's seat was naturally high, second only to Wang Tianhu's main seat. A group of people below were chatting with each other, and no one came to pay attention to Xiao Yu, the duke. It's just that many people still focus on Grom's body, talking about where Xiao Yu came from with the orc guards, and their eyes show envy.
They didn't come to provoke Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu didn't bother to deal with them, he sat there quietly alone, thinking about how to deal with the difficulties that these people made to him later.
It didn't take long for the feast to begin, and everyone began to raise their glasses and toast each other politely. Some of them also toasted Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also politely replied.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Tianhu suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Xiao Yu, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Wang is holding a banquet here today for my brother, the marshal of the Imperial Lion King, and Xiao Yuxian, the sixth son of the first-class duke Xiao Zhantian, to take over the wind and wash the dust, and let them toast Xiao Xian's nephew together to show their reverence for Marshal Xiao back then." β
When Wang Tianhu said this, everyone raised their glasses, and most of them were sincere. After all, Xiao Zhantian's name was there, if it weren't for a series of political conspiracy, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
People in this era always worship heroes, and Xiao Zhantian is undoubtedly the biggest hero closest to this era.
Xiao Yu looked at the eyes of these people, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the dead ghost father I haven't met does have some ability." β
After toasting this glass of wine, Wang Tianhu still looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Everyone knows that Brother Xiao has been heroic all his life, but he has no choice but to fold in the lion king's collar." It was an unfavorable time, not Brother Xiao's sin, but now, under the leadership of Xiao Yuxian's nephew, the lion king is prosperous, and my uncle also wants to ask his nephew more about the method of governance. β
Hearing Wang Tianhu's words, Xiao Yu secretly said in his heart: "It's here." β
Immediately, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Wang praised it falsely, how can the little nephew be compared with Uncle Wang?" The territory of the Wang family now has millions of people, thousands of acres of fertile land, and my lion king leads a barren land, but he relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft, and he has nothing to do with the mountains to hunt, dig and mine, and make do with his life. β
Wang Tianhu heard Xiao Yu say this, laughed, and said: "Virtuous nephew, this is too modest, there are countless lords in the empire, but the lords who can have orcs and elf guards have not seen them for a long time. What is the secret to how you were able to recruit so many orcs and elves? Can you share it with us? Or maybe I'll pay you to buy some orcs. β
Hearing Wang Tianhu say this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "This can only be said to be a favorable location." The Lion King's territory is remote, and when the emperor divided the seal, he gave the entire Ankola Mountains to my Xiao family. The land there is barren, but the mountains are rich in resources, and there are some monsters, trolls, orcs, and elves. One day I went hunting and playing in the mountains, and unexpectedly met a powerful elf and a powerful orc, they told me that they were the gods of the elves and the orcs respectively, because I was wise and martial, and I would definitely be a generation of heroes in the future, so I specially asked me to lead their elves and orc tribes to help them survive in this world, so as not to perish. I saw that the elves and orcs were also a powerful race in the past, but now that they have fallen to this point, I can't bear it, so I reluctantly agreed to their request as the current ruler of the elves and orcs. β
Xiao Yu's words are still the same, anyway, you love to believe it or not, that's what I said, you have the ability to find other explanations.
If there is no other explanation, then it means that Lao Tzu is the greatest hero and the wisest king of this era, so you should be honestly obedient, haha.
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, everyone looked at each other.
Xiao Yu's words are definitely very coquettish and pretending, but now there are no nobles who can have the guards of the elves and the guards of the orcs.
