Chapter 121: The Thing Born of Despair (1)
The next day, early in the morning, Wang Xu locked the door of the house, and rode a white horse out of the city and galloped towards the distance.
Stomp ......
"Phewβ"
Wang Xu pulled off the horse rope, and the white horse under the seat neighed and then obediently stopped.
This place is a mountain forest, even in late winter, the jungle is still verdant, and the birds are singing and fragrant, like a paradise.
Ahead was a valley, hollowed, flanked by tall lookouts, on which stood two strong men dressed in black.
There were also two teams of men and horses patrolling under the lookout, each of them alert, armed with swords, and the armor on their bodies flashed and radiated a cold light.
At this moment, after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, three people immediately ran over, and when they saw Wang Xu, they knelt down on one knee, "Lord Wang! β
"Get up, who's coming?"
Wang Xu sat on horseback and asked with a smile.
After one of the strong men with a Chinese face got up, he said in a low voice: "Master Fu, Lord Yuan, and several other adults are here." β
He took a few steps closer and whispered, "When Master Fu and Master Yuan came, there was an old man in the middle. β
After finishing speaking, he stood back in his place, watching his nose and nose, listening to his orders, and the two people next to him were silent as if they hadn't seen it.
Wang Xu nodded, took out his token in his hand and threw it over, "Go ahead." β
The three of them arched their hands, immediately turned back, and shouted loudly: "It's the regional official Wang Xuwang, let me go!" β
Wang Xu clamped the horse's belly, and the white horse galloped up, running towards the valley, while thinking silently.
The three people just now were all his people, and they were specially placed in the Lingfu duty team.
Some positions may be small, but they are not necessarily useful.
Just like just now, it provided him with very useful information.
What kind of old man, it is estimated that it is the deputy master of Binyang Ling Mansion who is about to retire to retire.
The two guards next to them silently lined up in two rows and made way into the valley.
As soon as you enter the valley, there are two neat rows of mountain houses, as well as soldiers in the valley, and a magnificent conference hall built in front.
Two large black pillars carved with strange beasts, a tall gate, and two guards in black armor standing at the door.
Wang Xu turned over and dismounted, handed it over to a soldier who walked over, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the meeting hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old man with a red face sitting in the first place, presumably it should be the deputy lord of Binyang Ling Mansion, and the left and right hands sitting next to him were Fu Qingye and Yuan Yucheng.
There were also various personnel from the Lingfu sitting under him, including Yu Xinyi's brother Yu Ye, who was sitting with Yuan Yucheng with a humble face at this time.
And the vacant one is the position opposite him, that is, the position where Fu Qingye starts.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, it seemed that there was no search deputy envoy coming today, and someone had a yin against him.
He sneered in his heart, and walked over with a calm face, "I'm tired of you waiting. β
"Lord Wang, this shelf is really big enough."
Yuan Yucheng said sneeringly.
"There is a reason for this."
Wang Xu arched his hand, and he took out a booklet wrapped in brocade cloth, "I prepared a careful note for the deputy mansion master before, but the things arrived a little late, so I was late, please understand." β
He motioned for a maid next to him to come over and present the object.
Fu Qingye, who was originally looking for a reason, glanced at Wang Xu in surprise, and then went back again.
The old man was smiling with a spring breeze from beginning to end, and did not express any opinions.
He looked at the waiter's hesitant appearance and smiled, "Come on, show it to me, no matter what you say, it's the intention of the juniors." β
Jing Cong, the deputy lord of the Lingfu, took the brocade cloth booklet in the maid's hand, opened it and took a look, and the corners of his eyes twitched without leaving a trace.
"Nephew Wang Xian really has a heart, sit down."
He put the booklet in his hand, and without leaving his hand, he just put it on it, and said with a smile.
After Wang Xu gave a salute, he sat down under Fu Qingye's hand, stared at the front silently, and stopped speaking.
What he gave Jing Cong just now was a book of internal skills to nourish qi and blood, Songhe prolongs life, although it is not rare, but the point is that it is suitable, which is most suitable for people like exterminators, especially the old people who are about to retire.
"Ahem......"
Jing Cong coughed, inspected for a week, and directly regarded what had just happened as nothing, and said slowly: "Thank you for the love of the lord of the house, people are getting old, and let me see you one last time before returning to my hometown." β
Everyone in the hall hurriedly said a few polite words.
Jing Cong said some more testimonials, and then began to get to the point.
"Actually, I only have one thing to do this time, and that is to search for the candidate of the deputy envoy in our house."
He touched the secret book in his hand, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, "This time, there are two vacant positions in the mansion. β
Jing Cong looked at Wang Xu and Yu Ye in the hall with deep meaning, "Originally, Qingye and Yucheng had already put forward the candidates, and the house was also very recognized, this matter was originally so happy, and there was no need to go through another procedure, but ......"
Jing Cong put away his smile and said expressionlessly: "Leaving the deputy mansion master, he suddenly proposed a person, so the mansion master is also very difficult to do, so according to the old rules, there are three tasks, one person chooses one, and which two people do a good job will be qualified to be the deputy envoy of the search." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience frowned more or less.
Although everyone knows that this matter is only about Wang Xu and Yu Ye, although they and the deputy mansion master belong to the Binyang Spirit Mansion, they are two different factions.
It has always been non-interference, and if the deputy lord of the palace takes away the position of a search deputy envoy this time, this precedent will be opened, and I am afraid that many things will have more incidents in the future.
It's not just a few people who are at stake, it's all of them.
However, everyone didn't speak, after all, this was obviously from the deputy mansion lord thinking that the general trend of the deputy mansion lord Jing was gone, and it was not worth mentioning, plus the new deputy mansion master had not yet been decided, so he dared to do so.
They are speaking now, this is not directly slapping Jing Cong in the face, no one will be so unwise, but the person has not left yet, and the tea is still hot.
Wang Xu was not in a hurry, he didn't believe that Jing Cong was willing to retreat like this.
Sure enough, Jing Cong slapped the table.
Syllable!
"Lihuo, this old thief is too deceitful!"
Jing Cong glared angrily, but immediately changed his face again, "Although the matter is decided in this way, we can choose the task first, and after the election, the rest is the person who is selected by the deputy mansion." β
After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea next to him, "You can take care of the rest, Aoba." β
Fu Qingye picked up the document next to him and handed it directly to Wang Xu, who was in charge, and Yu Ye also received a copy, "The task description is all in it, you can read it for yourself, and then choose your own task." β
