Chapter 298: Nanling Zhao Clan
Luling. It is the largest city in the southwest of Great Xia, and the Liunanling Holy Church is the largest holy church in the southwest, the Nanling Star Warlock Association is the largest Star Warlock Association in the southwest, the Yamen of Nanling is the largest Yamen in the southwest, and the county king's mansion located in the center of Nanling represents the largest aristocratic Shiling Zhao family in the southwest.
Since a hundred years ago, after the Nanling Zhao clan established itself here, the building of the county king's mansion has not changed much, the only thing that has changed is the plaque in front of the Zhu Gate, and the ups and downs of the clansmen.
The Zhao family continued to build courtyards inside and outside the city, but for this mansion, they would always only repair it, not demolish it.
The king of Nanling himself most of the time. They will also live in the county king's mansion in the city. Therefore, there is a saying in Nanling, looking at a person from the Zhao family is not valued, as long as he lives in another courtyard or the county king's mansion, he basically understands a thing or two.
On weekdays, the vermilion gate of the county king's mansion is open. According to the person who doesn't know which ancestor it is, this is to show the Zhao family's open-mindedness.
But today, until noon. The servants nervously opened the door. The entire county king's mansion was in a state of hustle and bustle, as the lord's family prepared to travel.
As the largest family nobleman in Nanling. The pomp and circumstance of His Excellency the King of the County must be done sufficiently. The stewards were busy on the road, the stewards carried all kinds of gifts and ceremonial articles into the carriages, the master tried to take care of the horses and the stewards, and finally the swaggering maidens, when they came out from behind the second gate, as if they had seen the slaves ascending to the rank of Qincha.
In the glorious courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, the king of Nanling County held an invitation in his hand, looked left and right, looked up and down, and muttered to himself that there was only one sentence: "It turned out to be a three-star warlock." ”
There are a total of four people in the second generation of the Zhao family in Nanling. They all sat in the hall and said nothing.
It is rumored that the eldest grandson of the Nanling Zhao family, Zhao Quanying, died under the bomb of Cheng Jinzhou. And in the Zhao family, at least the king of Nanling himself believed the rumors, especially after the invasion of the Northern Han army. He sent people to collect the explosives on the battlefield and asked the astrosorcerers to examine them. Although nothing was never said. However, the ambiguous attitude of the Zhao family in Nanling, as well as the cold treatment of Cheng Jinzhou, all illustrate the thoughts of King Zhao Jun.
However, the invitation of the fourth-level star warlock, it is not okay not to go. Especially the content of the celebration made Zhao Zuxiang even more discouraged.
"Bring people and act when the opportunity arises." Zhao Zuxiang said that he threw the invitation on the ground. I don't even want to look at it again.
It is also in Shaonan, a large city in the southwest. The evening has turned into a sea of joy, like a qiē government-organized event, with gentlemen and ladies in the streets smiling passionately and writhing their unpracticed dance steps. Shake the red flag of cheap cloth zuò.
In a peaceful atmosphere. Cheng Yunan and Cheng Yunxiang both rushed back to Shaonan. The second generation of the Cheng family will go out from here together and go to De'an. Although, according to the teachings. It should not be celebrated for juniors. But after Cheng Jinzhou became a three-star warlock, he was the most pedantic teaching, and he would not bring it up.
In this world of both glory and loss, it is a glorious thing for a family to have a three-star warlock, and most importantly, he will live for at least 2 years.
As for De'an, it is even more celebrated like a New Year's Festival.
This emerging city, which has never had a curfew, celebrates Cheng Jinzhou and celebrates itself with violent firecrackers, countless fine wines, and entertainment consumption.
Beautiful fireworks continue to explode in the sky. Free liquor and porridge can be found everywhere in the streets. Philanthropic businessmen have never been so charitable for a moment.
The only way to get businessmen across the country to do charity is to make more money.
And what attracted businessmen this time was the notice posted on the city gate by Cheng Jinzhou: the county invited iron merchants from all over the country to set up factories in De'an. Land is provided free of charge, tax-free for five years, and accepted into the Maritime Alliance.
In a few simple sentences. The last two lines are the most touted by merchants. The Maritime Alliance is a semi-monopoly trading group, and if it is combined with the five-year tax exemption, it is the members of the Maritime Alliance itself, and they must be excited.
More and more people gathered in the backyard of the county government. If there are female dependents, Liu Qingshuang and Weng Xilian will be responsible for the reception. Banquets for two consecutive days are usually very free, you don't have to do much, and they are mostly simple
Flow.
Because of the haste at the beginning, the first night was mainly attended by local gentlemen from De'an, and Cheng Jinzhou didn't even have to come out for long. But as the next day came, more and more nobles began to appear.
Cheng Jinzhou couldn't imagine why there were so many nobles in two or three cities.
The king of Nanling is the nobleman with the highest title. In addition to this, there were more than a dozen counts, dozens of viscounts and hundreds of barons. Although there is no aristocratic and wealthy family like the capital in the southwest, there are many small families that have been inherited for a hundred years.
In the afternoon, the greetings of groups of nobles simply made Cheng Jinzhou dizzy.
It was the king of Nanling County who came to the front. He didn't even look at anyone seriously.
His Excellency the King of the County seems to be a good-tempered person, and he can't see the arrogance of the nobles, and he Xiang Cheng Jinzhou. He talked about the county government, and he had ten apprentices in drought art to take care of this high banquet, so naturally he couldn't use the county to make up the numbers.
Fortunately, Cheng's father and mother soon came to De'an, and many nobles could be received by them, instead of Cheng Jinzhou's pestle at the door.
The sun sets in the west. time. The Dawn-class airship, painted in pitch black, appeared in the sky above De'an City.
The world of singing and dancing seemed to be paused, and suddenly stopped, until the figures of three star warlocks appeared on the airship. The welcome music resounded.
Cheng Jinzhou didn't need to look to know that there were more fourth-level star warlocks to reach.
If there are too many fourth-level star warlocks in one place, the star line will be significantly disturbed. When Jiang Huang Star Warlock and Li Xianfeng Star Warlock were together, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of the Dao Star Line, and with the appearance of three more Level 4 Star Warlocks, the Star Line was almost shaking.
If it's an astrowarlock apprentice whose star line is too weak, I'm afraid that the Yan line is broken now.
After standing for a day, Cheng Jinzhou was really sleepy, he barely raised his head to look at it, and he didn't make a welcome gesture, so he hurriedly lowered his head and yawned.
The three fourth-level star warlocks from the Star Continent were a little embarrassed. Taewoo whispered, "Why don't you give him the badge now." ”
The other two had no opinion. Then the sky began to glow.
Father-in-law Sun goes to bed on time every day, which is what people are used to and understand. Suddenly, someone stirred up the situation, and someone made a voice of admiration.
The colorful light dangling in the sky is really beautiful.
Cheng Jinzhou felt even more sleepy. Modern people, there are movies and television, what kind of grand event has not been seen. A show in disguise as a rainbow. I really can't get him to lift his spirits.
The three of Taewoo are more energetic.
Sister Kong also let out a little musical whining, making the light in the air more rhythmic.
"The Astral Warlock Association, thank you, Mr. Cheng Jinzhou, for your help in recent years. On the occasion of the achievement of the contribution point, on behalf of the Star Warlock Committee, we will propose a new badge for Mr. Cheng Jinzhou "The voice of the three Star Warlocks is not very loud, but the content of what they said makes people stare with bated breath.
Jiang Huang looked at Cheng Jinzhou and couldn't help but recall his eventful years.
That year, he seemed to be getting older, but he was teased by Guo Jingxing Warlock at that time as a "young man." ”
Looking at Cheng Jinzhou now, it is clear that he is a young man who is still growing his body.
The star warlocks didn't advocate cumbersome consciousness, and Tai Woo quickly flew down, personally brought a first-class three-star warlock badge with a yellow base for Cheng Jinzhou, and said: "When you have original contribution points, you are welcome to come to Xingzhou to use them at any time." ”
"What was needed. Feel free to find us. Kong Yan said vaguely. Many Three-Star Warlocks don't get Original Contribution Points, usually before the end of their lives. The guild barely understands an article, but the number is often limited by the number of times a special star array can be used, so not every three-star warlock will get an extended life.
Cheng Jinzhou thanked him for not knowing the situation at all. The only thing he knew was that Jiang Huang Star Warlock wanted him to meet with the three fourth-level Star Warlocks, and he didn't know anything else.
The sleepy smile and the tired figure all showed a kind of identity in front of the three members of the Star Warlock Committee. If it's an ordinary star warlock. How dare you be so presumptuous in front of a fourth-level star warlock.
Lu Xu stuffed his mouth full of meat, walked over from the other end of the courtyard, and said, "A lot of people are staring at you, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh. It's three fourth-level star warlocks. Cheng Jinzhou straightened his chest, trying to let Lu Xu see his badge clearly.
When he was by Liu Kuang's side, he was oppressed by his senior brother, and Lu Xu sometimes took it seriously. After following Cheng Jinzhou, he became a low-intelligence talent with no pressure at all, and he didn't pay attention to his statement at all, and said: "Zhao Quan's father who was killed by you, and his grandfather." It's their family. Seems to be watching you. ”
Cheng Jinzhou turned his head violently, just opposite the four eyes of the king of Nanling County.
It was a pair of angry and jealous eyes, from the person who used to be the highest status in Nanling.
Taewoo glanced at it and asked, "Do you want to help?" ”
"Oh, no, thank you." Cheng Jinzhou shook his head again and again.
Looking back, His Excellency had already turned and left. Cheng Jinzhou thought back to the gaze he saw just now, and he felt a little shuddered.
There should be no more peaceful tacit understanding with the Zhao family. Cheng Jinzhou thought to himself, turned around and called Shi Mo, and said, "You have to find a way to check." How much real estate is there in the name of the palace of Nanling County. ”
To weaken the enemy is to strengthen yourself. Cheng Jinzhou has a very good reason: if the king becomes the king and loses the king, the Cheng family will be the largest family in the southwest, and the Zhao family must give in. Plus, they definitely have enough land for planting.
Beyond the word count: It's a little late to add more
