Chapter 286: Praetorian Messenger
The Wang family, deep in the family.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
In the quiet courtyard, a delicate and beautiful cool light is built, a man and a woman sit opposite each other, and there is a chessboard in the middle, and the two are fighting on the chessboard.
Next to the chessboard, there were a lot of melons and fruits nodding, and the woman was shiny, with cunning eyes, staring at the chessboard, peeling the peels of the fruits.
The man's brows furrowed, staring intently at the chessboard, as if he was extremely nervous.
"Come, ah......" The woman is petite, shaped like a girl, and exudes an elven and eccentric atmosphere.
The man opened his mouth slightly, swallowed the fruit that the woman peeled and handed over, and kept his eyes off the chessboard.
"Smack!" After a long time, the man slowly fell.
"Smack!" the woman was neat and neat, and she was ready to do it.
Looking at the chess pieces on the chessboard, the man's eyebrows tightened, and his face gradually darkened.
"Wan, Wan'er, do you think we are changing the bet?" The man stared for a long time, raised his head and smiled, and leaned over.
"No!" the woman shook her head with a grin and said, "If you lose one game, you can't do it for a day!"
"Wan'er, this is not good, I am your husband. The man's face wrinkled.
"Remember, you've lost seven sets in the past two days. The woman pointed her finger up.
The man palpled slightly, and said softly: "Then I still won four sets, this is not fair, I have to subtract it!"
"No, it's just that you lose, not what you win. ”
"You're cheating!"
"What, can't you?"
"Uh...... Okay, okay, what do you say?"
The man looked at the strange woman in front of him with a sad face, but his eyes turned......
"Gotta figure figure it out!" the man's mind raced.
"Ahem......"
At this moment, a light cough suddenly sounded.
The two turned their heads, and they didn't know when, a teenager was already standing not far from the gazebo, and neither of them even noticed.
Wang Haochen was also embarrassed, this husband and wife were playing, and it seemed that there was something wrong with him.
This man and a woman are Wang Chu's parents, his father Wang Tianyang, and his mother Lin Wan.
"Hey, is that you little guy?" Lin Wan saw Wang Haochen, and her face showed a hint of surprise slightly.
Wang Tianyang's face flashed with joy, and he greeted him with a smile.
"Haochen, why are you here, come in and sit!" Wang Tianyang greeted warmly.
After Wang Haochen hesitated slightly, he still walked into the pavilion.
"Whoa......" Wang Tianyang waved his hand and swept away the chessboard on the table, vacated a space, and poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Haochen.
"Wang Tianyang, you ...... Hmph,. The corners of Lin Wan's mouth suddenly pouted.
Wang Tianyang's face was serious, and he said, "Wan'er, if you have guests, don't be rude." ”
Lin Wan's eyes rolled and glared at Wang Tianyang fiercely, her little mouth bitten, and her little hands were empty.
Wang Tianyang's complexion changed, and his body trembled, but then his eyes burst for a while, and a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "Haochen, but I rarely see you, what is the matter with coming to us today?"
Since Wang Haochen left the Wang family, he has rarely seen his figure, and with his current identity, he also came to the door in person, there must be something.
"Uncle Yang, I came this time, do I really have something to ask for?" Wang Haochen said.
"Oh?" Wang Tianyang was slightly surprised, with Wang Haochen's current identity and strength, what else did he need to ask them for?
"What's the matter?"
Wang Haochen took out the City Lord Seal and put it on the table, then turned his head, looked at Lin Wan, and said, "I want to entrust the City Lord Seal to Wan and Wan...... Auntie, let her take charge for me for a while. ”
Although Lin Wan is in her thirties, no matter how she looks at it, whether it is her appearance or temperament, she looks like an elf and eccentric girl.
When Wang Tianyang saw the city lord seal, his eyes were condensed, and when he heard Wang Haochen's words, his face was already shocked.
"You want to entrust the city lord seal to Wan'er?" Wang Tianyang was a little incredulous.
He has seen a lot of such things entrusted to take care of them, but he really hasn't seen a city entrusted to others to take care of, how wide the heart of this city lord should be.
"Hmm!" Wang Haochen nodded and said, "I left this time, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, so I came to ask for help to my little nephew." ”
"Are you going to leave again?" Wang Tianyang couldn't help but be a little speechless.
These little guys are all the same, running outside all day long, as if staying in the family will get sick.
Wang Chu has left the family for more than half a year, and he has not come back yet, which makes Wang Tianyang both worried and a little unhappy.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Wang Haochen said.
"Can't you find someone else, it's so troublesome......" Lin Wan held her chin and stared at the city lord seal on the table, her eyes were full of excitement, but she said so on her lips.
"No one else is suitable!" Wang Haochen shook his head.
Lin Wan raised her head slightly, glanced at Wang Haochen, and said, "Why am I you?"
Wang Haochen couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that entrusting the city lord seal to one person to take care of it would be so troublesome.
"Uh...... Wang Chu and I are brothers and friends, I think Aunt Wan will help with this. Wang Haochen said with an idea.
Lin Wan wrinkled her nose and said, "In this way, I can think about it again, but ...... What's in it for me?"
Wang Haochen's face couldn't help but stiffen, this person who is in charge of the city lord seal, holding great power, has countless benefits, what more do you want?
However, Wang Haochen didn't dare to say this, Lin Wan's childish temperament, he had already heard of it, and if he was unhappy, he might turn his face and be anxious with you.
After thinking for a while, Wang Haochen reached out and took out the two jade bottles and placed them on the table.
"What is this?" Lin Wan curiously picked up the two jade bottles, and uncorked them and sniffed them.
"These are six pills of immortality!" Wang Haochen said.
"Ah, the Immortal Pill......" Lin Wan shouted in surprise, poured out a pill before and after, looked at it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion, "It's no different!"
Wang Haochen couldn't help but have a black line floating on his forehead, this is an immortal pill, a pill of life extension for ten years, isn't it any different, besides, isn't the appearance of the pill almost the same, what can be seen from this?
"Wan'er, don't mess around!" Wang Tianyang finally spoke, and after wasting his strength, he snatched back the two jade bottles from Lin Wan's hands, stuffed them back into Wang Haochen's hands, and said: "Haochen, we have helped with this favor, if you have the opportunity in the future, help us take care of Wang Chu's kid." ”
Wang Haochen put the two jade bottles back, shook his head and said: "Uncle Yang, Wang Chu and I are both friends and brothers, even if you don't say it, as long as he needs it, I will help him, whether you want to help or not, these two bottles of pills should be my honor for you." ”
"Hee-hee...... The little guy is sensible!" Lin Wan grabbed the two jade bottles with a hand.
Wang Tianyang's eyes widened slightly, but Lin Wan turned a blind eye and put away the pill with a smile.
"Haochen, what does Wan'er need to do?" Wang Tianyang shook his head helplessly, then turned his head to look at Wang Haochen.
"On weekdays, if you don't have time, you don't need to worry about it, you can just look at it and help you get an idea when you encounter something more important. Wang Haochen said.
Wang Tianyang nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, before you come back, Wan'er will give you a good look at Hewei." ”
Wang Haochen felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you Uncle Yang, then I won't bother much. Wang Haochen got up, bowed slightly, and turned away.
Wang Haochen hadn't been far yet, and in the pavilion, Lin Wan and Wang Tianyang's voices rang out.
"Why are you asking me to take over this big trouble?" Lin Wan'er seemed to be dissatisfied with Wang Tianyang's assertions.
"You even accepted the Dan Lao given by others, if you don't help, can you say it?" Wang Tianyang argued.
"What's the use of this thing?" Lin Wan picked up the City Lord Seal.
"But it helps...... Any shop you have in Herway City, as long as you take it out, you can definitely get a discount......"
Wang Haochen's body stumbled and almost fell.
This couple is really strange in the world, dare to love this city lord seal, in their eyes, it is just a discount card-like existence?
There was a burst of sweat in his heart, and Wang Haochen couldn't help but wonder if it was appropriate to entrust the city lord seal to this couple.
Not wanting to be hit again, Wang Haochen rushed away together, went directly out of the city, and headed towards Linfeng Manor.
Not long after Wang Haochen left the city, outside Hewei City, there was a black and white giant eagle from the sky, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it directly crossed the city wall and headed towards Hewei City.
"Who is it?" At the head of the city, the city guards moved one after another, and several giant crossbows turned their heads one after another, aiming at the black and white giant eagle.
But at the moment when the black and white giant eagle crossed the city, the man on the back of the giant eagle flicked his wrist, and a small flag with red edges on a black background was nailed to the city.
"Martial King's Mansion Praetorian Guard Messenger!" Seeing that small flag, all the city guards gasped.
The city defense giant crossbow that had been locked hurriedly moved away, lest it be careless for a moment and cause some misunderstanding.
That's the messenger of the Praetorian Legion, only the Praetorian Legion can be mobilized, and the Praetorian Legion is directly under the Martial King, who dares to be disrespectful?
It's just the Praetorian Messenger, how could he suddenly come to Hewei City?
In the bewildered gaze of the city guards, the black and white giant eagle flew directly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
In just an instant, the City Lord's Mansion was in a commotion, and officials at all levels appeared to greet them.
"Where is Young Master Chen?"
In the City Lord's Mansion, the black and white giant eagle fell, and a person wearing black and red-edged leather armor jumped down, with a cold and handsome aura on his body, without any politeness, and asked directly to the dozens of officials who came out to greet him.
"Young Master Chen?" those officials couldn't help but smile slightly.
When did there become another young master in King Wu's mansion?
"Is it the lord of the city?"
But they are still a little bit of a god, although Wang Haochen is the city lord of Hewei City, he is not worthy of being so polite by the Praetorian Guard Legion.
