Chapter 1024: Patriarch Dong Puzhen
Since the two clan respects want to go slowly, Xiao Sha, Dong He, and Secretary Dong can only accompany them!
Not to mention, whether the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Sha really found some differences between the Demon Swallowing City and other local cities, the scale may not be large because it is a government city, but there is something else hidden inside.
The streets of the whole city were no different from other towns on the surface, but after walking for so long, he did not find a single shop or restaurant, but wherever the smell of food came from, it was bound to be crowded with people, and occasionally some open spaces passed by were neatly planted with grain, vegetables and fruits.
Many of the two-story houses on both sides are almost full of people, and the crowds of men and women, young and old, who come and go on the streets, are almost all martial artists.
Obviously, it is said that it is a city here, but it is better to say that it is a military camp, or a refuge in wartime, and there are almost no exceptions to the people who can live in it except for the people who have been strictly examined by the Dong family, and in terms of the scale of the melons, fruits and vegetables grown everywhere, if it is a long-term war, as long as the city does not fall, it will not be a problem at all to survive for more than ten years.
It is difficult for a shelter to be like this, and I have to say that the Suzhen and first-line students in the Babrian period were really talents, and these things are only so much that the countries on the earth can do at most.
……
After walking for a total of two or three teas, a group of five people finally arrived in the center of the city.
It was a place that was taller than all the surrounding buildings, like a palace and like a belvedere, and below it were thirty or forty stone pillars that were incomparably thick and straight up, fifty or sixty zhang high, and at the top spread out a platform about a mile or two, on which there were five palaces of different sizes.
This place is really high, almost all of them have surpassed the extremely high city walls, and it is easy to overlook the whole city if you live in it, and if you stand on the side of the palace, you can see the outside of the city, so you can observe the situation outside the city at any time.
It can be said that the Demon Swallowing Immovable City is essentially a fortress of war!
……
Fifty or sixty zhang is one hundred or eighty meters when exchanged for meters, and the stone pillars are thick and smooth, and ordinary warriors can't go up without ladders, but for Xiao Shawu, this height is not even half of the flying sky, and they have already reached it with a casual jump.
The five palaces above have their own wonderful uses, because this is an important place in the center of the city, and after arriving at the top, the two clans did not delay any longer, and took Xiao Sha, Dong He, and Dong Secretary to one of the palaces with the door wide open and entered it directly.
Xiao Sha noticed that this palace did not have a name on the plaque, and it was very different from all the palaces he had seen in the past.
The platform is not big in the first place, and the palace is naturally not big when the five palaces are divided!
This palace is small and has only three simple rooms, the outside is a large hall, with ancient paintings on the walls, and after bypassing the main hall, it is divided to the left and right, and on the left is a side room with a closed door, and on the right is the same room.
At this time, the door of the room on the right was open, and under the rough exterior of the main hall, the interior was actually very delicate and elegant, and all kinds of furniture were not only elegant and exquisite, but also neatly placed and spotless.
……
At this moment, in front of a square wooden table with some words carved in the center of the room, a man who looked to be no more than thirty years old and had no beard was sitting at the table, and next to him sat a calm man in his thirties, also in his thirties, with a sword on his back.
Both of them have gray hair, and they must be at least three or four hundred years old in terms of identity, but their profound cultivation makes them look younger than the rest of the Dong family.
The man with a sword and a sword on his back is also okay, and he seems to be taciturn and seems to hide a lot of the past, and his face and spirit are mixed with obscurity, so it's hard to say how easy it is to get along.
But the man wearing a purple and white robe and a Confucian hair crown on his head is very special, what is the specific special method......
Xiao Sha felt that it was difficult to describe, the first feeling was that he was handsome, even if he was not young, and the second feeling was that this person was very clean.
This cleanliness does not mean that the other party bathes frequently and does not have fleas, but the whole person feels like a person who is not mortal, and the love, hatred, hatred and filth in the world are almost not stained, and there is a temperament that is not stained by the mud.
Needless to say, according to the image of Su Huanzhen in the puppet play, he knew at a glance that this person should be Dong Puzhen, the head of the Dong family today, because Su Huanzhen's unstained temperament can be imitated by few people in the world, and it may be said that it may be his lineage.
It's really worse than people!
Thinking about the usual style and image of the dead fat man, and comparing it with this person, Xiao Sha suddenly felt that Dong Tianle was really worthy of being a person with only half of Su Huan's bloodline, and he was more than a little worse.
"Patriarch, here they are"
Sure enough, after the two clans led them into the room, they stood still on both sides of the table, and hugged their fists at this person, Dong and Secretary Dong followed behind with their heads bowed and did not dare to make a sound.
"Good"
This person smiled and swept over the three of them, swept over Dong He and Secretary Dong, and then smiled at Xiao Sha, and finally looked at Dong and Secretary Dong: "Originally, the old man didn't plan to call you, but I heard that you have been in contact with Miao Jiang, and you have not been hindered by Miao Jiang all the way, so I think Miao Jiang asked you to bring something here, right?" ”
"Patriarch Mingjian, it is true"
Secretary Dong didn't speak, and Dong He, who was the head of Yuyue City, said respectfully: "They asked us to pass the word to the patriarch, and if we don't move in the future, Miao Jiang will return the entire three counties to us after victory, and if it is counterattacked and the agreement is invalidated, the two sides will go to war." If they are defeated, we also have a reason to explain to Dali to get rid of suspicion. ”
"Hmm...... Good choice"
With such strong conditions and the loss of so many manpower and territory, Dong Puzhen, the patriarch of the Dong family, nodded slightly as if nothing had happened, and even said that the conditions offered by the other party were excellent.
Dong He originally wanted to ask for battle, but when he heard this, he was anxious: "Patriarch, my Dong family is not afraid of life and death, it's not that my subordinates want to influence your decision, but this time our casualties are too serious." It's okay to repay grievances with virtue, but the subordinates think that this is not the time, if they don't move and agree to their conditions, it is tantamount to exchanging the flesh and blood of thousands of soldiers who died in battle for half of each county of Taihong and Taiping, which is ...... The subordinates are not convinced"
"Indeed"
Dong Puzhen did not refute Dong He's words, and the soft smile on his face did not change: "I will think carefully about your suggestion, since the news has been sent to you to go down and rest for the time being, tomorrow morning we will gather everyone to discuss this matter, retreat!" ”
“…… The patriarch also asked to think carefully, his subordinates have retired"
The patriarch spoke, and Dong He and Secretary Dong didn't dare to entangle, and left the room one after another after holding their fists.
Bang!
When the two left, they closed the door, and only Xiao Sha, the two clan lords, and the patriarch Dong Puzhen and the man with the sword on his back were left in the room.
Dong Puzhen looked up and down at Xiao Sha, who was standing on the side and was a little uncomfortable, and beckoned to them: "Xiao Sha Shaoxia, Zhenyun and Zhenming, you all sit down."
"This ...... Patriarch, why don't we go out first? ”
Before Xiao Sha could speak, the two clan lords were stunned for a moment, their eyes swept over the person with a sword and a sword on their backs, and they were a little surprised, and one of them hesitated: "Patriarch, why don't we go out first...... After all, it's not fitting for us to meet your old friends. ”
Dong Puzhen looked at them with a smile: "Yes, if you don't eavesdrop outside, you can go out"
Eavesdrop?
Xiao Sha turned his head to look at these two clan lords who seemed to have a really high status, and felt a little weird, it seems that the masters of two hundred and seventy or eighty cultivation skills are all hundreds of years old, eavesdropping......
The two clans were a little embarrassed by Dong Puzhen's words, but in the end, the one who talked more along the way smiled happily and sat down at the table, and the other sat down without saying a word.
"That'...... The younger generation is embarrassed! ”
Xiao Sha wanted to go out, but obviously Dong Puzhen opened the city of immovable to greet him with a big gift, and it was impossible to let himself go out like this, so he also sat down at the table with a humble word.
It seems that they are all calculated, there are exactly five chairs, and the number of people on the opposite side is just right.
……
After the five people sat down separately, none of them spoke first, and the atmosphere was a little stiff and weird!
Xiao Sha found that the eyes of these four hardcore masters were swirling on him brightly or darkly, the patriarch Dong Puzhen had a kind and deep gaze, and the master with a sword on his back was steady and sharp, like an autumn wind.
Compared to them, the two clans are very human, and there is almost nothing else but curiosity!
The gazes of the four people made him feel even more uncomfortable than before, and he couldn't help but speak: "Patriarch...... You called the juniors, but what do you have to order......"
"It's good for the young man to call me the patriarch directly, and the honorific title is exempt, if you really want to say that all of us here are actually your juniors."
"Is that possible?"
Suddenly, Xiao Sha, who had just sat down, got up in shock and looked at Dong Puzhen with a frightened expression.
It's not that he can't hold his breath, but Dong Puzhen's words are really amazing, as soon as this hardcore master opens his mouth, he says that he is his junior, and he is afraid that no one will be able to sit still if he encounters the same thing in the same environment.
You must know that the two clans with the worst cultivation here are all masters of two hundred and seven or eight tricks, not to mention people who have lived for hundreds of years.
Your own juniors?
No matter how he listens, it feels ridiculous!
"Surprised?"
Dong Puzhen seemed to have expected all this a long time ago, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and he raised his hand and pressed it weakly: "It's okay, it's okay to sit down and say, if the young man feels scared, you might as well take this as a joke." ”
“……”
The corners of Xiao Sha's mouth twitched and sat down again, and was about to ask again, Dong Puzhen took the lead in speaking: "That's it, after all, we live longer than Shaoxia, so we won't hide it, and there are three main things to invite Shaoxia to come this time." ”
That's normal talking!
Xiao Sha regained his composure: "Patriarch, please speak"
