Chapter 674: Showing Kindness
Going to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet?
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Du Yun was a little surprised.
However, after he took the golden invitation in the other party's hand, and after reading the contents of it, he realized that this banquet was prepared by the city lord for his little daughter who had just completed the moon.
In addition, some of the patriarchs of the big families in Qingyun City are also invited.
After Du Yun closed the invitation, he looked at Zhuge Liang again and said with a smile: "This matter should be more than that." ”
"The lord's guess is right, according to the investigation of his subordinates, since the Chen family's head Chen Wunian was killed a few days ago, the major families in Qingyun City have been restless and have gathered together to discuss countermeasures."
"They have already learned of the strength of Elder Han Dao, and they are worried that the main guild will do something to them, so they have asked the City Lord's Mansion for help."
"Qingyun City Lord Xie Donghong not only celebrates the birthday of his youngest daughter this time, but also invites the lord and the heads of several major families to go for this matter, I am afraid that he will maintain order in Qingyun City as a peacemaker."
Zhuge Liang told the news he got these days.
After Du Yun heard this, he suddenly realized.
However, this time, the major families in Qingyun City were obviously overly worried, and the reason why he took action to solve Chen Wunian for Chen Yan's sister and brother was just to integrate into Qingyun City with a more reasonable identity.
As for sweeping away the other families and making the Chen family dominate Qingyun City, Du Yun obviously didn't have this idea.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What is the strength of the city lord of Qingyun City?" ”
"In the early days of the Law Phase Realm, it was two small realms lower than Elder Han Dao, but it is rumored that there is still a guest Qing at the peak of the Law Phase Realm in the City Lord's Mansion.
"If the lord goes to the banquet, it will be much safer to let Elder Han Dao accompany him, just in case."
Zhuge Liang suggested.
"Okay, I remember. In addition, the materials needed will be prepared these days, Qingyun City is not a place to live for a long time, I will find a way to settle Nanshan City as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, my lord."
……
Soon, night came.
An hour before the banquet began, Du Yun and Han Dao left the Chen Mansion in a Chen family's carriage and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion in the central area in the north of the city.
Because today is the city lord's celebration of his youngest daughter's birthday, the security of Qingyun City has improved several times compared to the past, and the city garrison can be seen patrolling the streets and alleys.
The City Lord's Mansion guards were also all dispatched and stationed around the City Lord's Mansion to disperse all irrelevant personnel.
Only those who hold the invitation letter of the City Lord's Mansion will be allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
"Presumably the two are Lord Du Yundu and Lord Han Dao, the old slave was instructed by the city lord to wait for the arrival of the two adults here."
When Du Yun and Han Dao got out of the carriage, an old man without a beard suddenly hurried up to meet them.
However, although this old man calls himself an old slave, his strength is impressive.
"Jindan Seven Turns!"
Han Dao whispered on the side.
Du Yun nodded, his gaze fell on the bearded old man, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about the city lord, I don't know if the other family heads who were invited have arrived?" ”
There was no need for the old man's body to pause slightly, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
But then he made a salute and said respectfully: "The heads of the family are waiting in the hall where the banquet is held at this moment, and the two lords have come at the right time, so let's go in with the old slave." ”
"Well, lead the way."
"Two adults, please!"
Next, under the guidance of the old man, the three of them did not walk long after entering the City Lord's Mansion before they came to the outside of a brightly lit hall in the middle courtyard.
At this moment, the small and cautious voices of conversation in the hall could be faintly heard.
This is where the banquet was held.
There was no need for the old man to leave because he had made a trip in advance, Du Yun and Han Dao entered the hall on their own.
The hall is not small, there are more than 100 square meters, and a red carpet is spread on the ground, extending directly from the door to the position belonging to the city lord's mansion on the innermost high platform.
On both sides of the red carpet, there are two long tables that are not separated, and there are chairs behind the tables, enough for more than 20 people to sit.
When Du Yun and Han Dao came in, they saw the city lord's chair that was still empty at a glance, and in addition, there were already more than ten people sitting on both sides of the red carpet below.
Originally, these people were still talking in a low voice, but as Du Yun and the others came in, their voices stopped abruptly.
Their eyes swept over Du Yun, and when they saw Han Dao on the side, their pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.
However, I don't know if the dozen or so people present did it on purpose, whether it was on the left or right side of the red carpet, the two positions at the front of the table were all vacant.
Han Dao showed a look of satisfaction on his face, turned back to Du Yun and said respectfully: "Young master, let's sit on the left." ”
"Hmm."
Du Yun nodded calmly as if he was from a big family, and walked over with his feet raised.
Han Dao followed.
During this period, seeing Du Yun and Han Dao sitting in the first two positions, no one in the dozen or so people present dared to object, and even quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the end.
Yun Yue, the head of the Yun family.
When Han Dao sat down next to him, his whole body became uncontrollably nervous, and his heart was beating wildly, and his face was slightly pale.
A few days ago, although Yun Yue hadn't seen Chen Wunian being killed with his own eyes, the family members who reported it already knew that there was a master of Faxiang Realm cultivation among the people who made the shot.
Later, after investigation, he finally determined that the middle-aged man who was sitting next to him at the moment was the Faxiang Realm cultivator.
Thinking that he was sitting with a Faxiang Realm monk so closely, and the other party didn't know if he would suddenly make a move, Yun Yue, who only had the strength of the third turn of Jindan, was under double pressure.
However, thinking of the purpose of coming to the City Lord's Mansion this time, he still took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up.
Facing Han Dao, Yun Yue showed respect on his face and said: "Junior Yun Yue, the head of the Yun family in Qingyun City, I heard that the seniors not only rescued the son of the head of the Chen family, but also killed Chen Wunian to set things right for the Chen family. ”
"Although the Yun family competes with the Chen family, they are also ashamed of Chen Wunian's behavior; If the seniors have the opportunity, they can come to the Yun family, and Yun Yue will be attentive and hospitable! ”
"All this is what the young master told me to do, if you want to invite, invite the young master of my family."
Han Dao glanced at Yun Yue lightly, staggered his body, revealing Du Yun in the front.
Yun Yue didn't expect the other party to answer like this, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.
But compared to the embarrassment, he was more shocked in his heart.
can let a cultivator of the Law Realm cultivate close protection, even if it is not from some large sects with Heavenly Soul Realm powerhouses, it must be from an extraordinary background!
Faced with such a situation, Yun Yue completely abandoned those previous plans.
And he is worthy of being the head of the family, he quickly calmed down and said to Du Yun: "Little brother, don't be angry, Yun Yue will do it first to show your apologies!" ”
After speaking, Yun Yue directly drank the wine in the cup.
