Chapter 277: Returning in vain
Drunken singing, the blood moon hanging, the atmosphere of the banquet quickly reached its peak under the brewing of time, and then gradually decreased.
"Lord Duke, it's not too early at this time, why don't you let them pack up their things?"
The housekeeper Mo Yongjun leaned over and asked cautiously. Why did he say "be careful", because he saw that Xiao Xia and Uii Jingxin were chatting happily.......
"Okay, then ......."
Xiao Xia smiled and nodded, and was about to say the word "clean up", when he suddenly frowned and looked in the direction of the gate.
"Madam, you go first to the room to rest, and I'll come when I go." Xiao Xia thought of something, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and after letting Uei Jingxin enter the room in a soft voice, he turned his head and said to Mo Yongjun: "Go, come with me and have a look." ”
Mo Yongjun's frowning brows also loosened, and he respectfully followed behind his own duke.
What are they doing in the middle of the night? This is the Duke's Palace......
...........
"You little doorman really doesn't know what to do, so many lords here want to visit the duke, it's good that you stopped us all?"
Outside the door, because tonight was a family banquet, the previous two rows of doormen were also on duty in shifts, and five doormen stood at the door, and opposite them, there were a hundred different lords who had completed their titles, with a total of more than three hundred, and one of the housekeepers of the Earl's Mansion looked at the five doormen angrily and said.
These people have just arrived, but they are all intercepted by the guards.
Anyway, this is the Duke's Palace after all, so no matter how unhappy they are, they don't dare to break in.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Marquis of the First Marquis Mansion would actually come to the Duke's Mansion at this time to pay a special visit, and he was stopped outside by the doorman, and he didn't show any anger.
Not only the adults of the first marquis's mansion, but it seems that among the ten marquis' mansions, except for the second-to-last one and a few people with the title of marquis or below, there are really not many people who are angry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my lord is holding a family banquet, please forgive me for not informing me below."
The doorman said respectfully. The five of them are also people who have lived for half a hundred years, and they are not stupid, don't look at these people who come to say that they are visiting, but in fact, it is better to say that they are here to try the new duke's city, and if they are not good, they are "getting off the horse".
After today's series of events, their cognition and favorability of their own duke are all rising, and their own people want to support their own people, not to mention their own masters, they naturally don't want to report it. They weren't too afraid of revenge or anything, and if they wanted to move the people of the Duke's Palace, even if it was a single grass or a tree, without the permission of the owner of the mansion, it would be a violation of the rules set by the great Demon God, and it would be dangerous to destroy the door if it was found out.
Besides, don't look at the title has been sealed, but there are still many people in the outsiders who are eyeing the title, as long as there is a vacant position, like a wolf and a tiger, move in.......
Therefore, people who have knighthoods are generally very careful and keep to themselves. Of course! There is also no shortage of individual existences who bully others and act as prestige.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively tonight, not only at home, but also outside......."
Xiao Xia walked with his hands in his hands, and Mo Yongjun followed behind him and bowed his head slightly, raising his eyelids to look at everyone, as if he was flat and disdainful. In short, the attitude is looming, neither like to look down on them, nor on the contrary, with Xiao Xia's head standing and walking with his hands, the master's momentum is very powerful.
"Meet the Duke!"
The five guards knelt down respectfully and saluted in unison.
"Get up, there are still a few jars of fine wine at the banquet, go and drink, you're welcome!"
Xiao Xia picked up the five guards, smiled and patted each of them on the shoulder, and then gently pushed them into the gate in their suppressed ecstatic expressions.
"This duke's personality seems to be very easy-going, and he should be a good talker......"
"Unexpectedly, although Lord Duke seems to be very young, in terms of being a human being, he is a first-class person, no less than my existence that has lived for a hundred years."
"The usual trick, hehe......."
Different people have different ideas in their hearts, and Xiao Xia can make everyone suspicious just by such a small move.
The younger brother who followed his father felt that Xiao Xia had a good personality, but in the eyes of their father of the "old fox", Xiao Xia was very difficult to deal with.
Because, they all understand the truth of giving a sweet jujube with a mallet, but compared to Xiao Xia's current age, most of them really bought spring and got drunk at that time, sang songs every night, and lived a rotten life.
"I've seen the Duke!"
Seeing the only one equivalent to the emperor-like existence in the title, everyone hesitated slightly, the meeting ceremony between the titles was not a joke, and in the end they all bowed.
Even Mo Hu Lie, who was a marquis in the First Marquis Mansion, bowed his head slightly at this moment and bowed his hand, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Humph! A bunch of old foxes ......."
Xiao Xia sneered in his heart, no matter what he said, he was also a person who lived for more than thirty years in his previous life and this life, his expression was still the same, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, I don't know why you came to my Duke's Mansion so late?" ”
Xiao Xia and Mo Yongjun were blocked at the door, and they didn't mean to let everyone go in and "sit".
"Does this duke really not understand, or is he pretending to be confused?"
"Humph! Even if the master is still young and ignorant, but you have lived as a steward for more than 100 years, how can you be so ignorant? ”
"Either this duke's city is too deep, or it's too stupid....."
Everyone couldn't help but suspect that they had just thought that this duke was a bit silly to deal with. But the discussion in my heart about the depth of Xiao Xia's city government has never stopped.
"Lord Duke, below is the First Marquis Mansion Lord, Mo Hu Lie." Mo Hu Lie took a step forward, took out a ring, and said with a smile: "Today, I heard that the Duke has just taken office, so I took the liberty to come to meet the Duke, and my little meaning is not respectful!" ”
After saying that, Mo Hu Lie slowly walked towards Xiao Xia and bent down to hand over the ring.
"Thank you Duke Mohulie for the gift, then I will accept it unceremoniously!"
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Xiao Xia doesn't care what his intentions or intentions are, but since he hasn't done anything that disgusts him now, he also returns it with a smile.
What's more important is that he said that he was the identity of the first marquis mansion master, Xiao Xia didn't need to guess to know that the other party must be extremely unhappy in his heart, in other words, who was pressed by someone, and there was only one person who suppressed the other, which can be seen from why eunuchs always like to rebel against the emperor in ancient times.
"If it's okay, then the Duke will retire first!"
Seeing that Xiao Xia still didn't say much after receiving the salute, Mo Hu Lie knew that this wave was a blood loss, so he didn't say anything, and directly took his eldest son Mo Tianxi and retired.
Everyone saw that the Demon Hu Lie, the lord of the First Marquis Mansion, gave gifts and left, and they didn't dare to stay longer because of their low status, so they gave gifts and retired.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry. Xiao Xia looked at the ring in his hand and smiled slightly.
On the way!
"Father, why don't you stay for a while, maybe the Duke will ......"
Demon Cullinan grabbed his shoulder and kept using teleportation, and he was puzzled.
"His city may be deeper than your father's, believe it or not, even if you continue to stay, he will still let you stand outside for a night tomorrow?" Demon Hu Lie didn't look back and said, "Take your own humiliation? There weren't many stupid people here, but they wanted your dad to be the one who fought against the duke....."
