Chapter 141: City Lord's Mansion
Jiang Xuecheng, the city lord's mansion.
At this moment, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was open, the tall walls were covered with red lanterns, and the guards guarding the gate stood in two rows, watching the crowd coming and going.
Groups of richly dressed people walked in, their heads held high, their faces smiling like flowers, full of pride.
In Jiang Xue City, almost everyone knows that today is a special day, the day of the banquet in the City Lord's Mansion.
The banquet in the City Lord's Mansion is held twice a year, once for the eldest princess's birthday and once for the little princess's birthday.
The people who can get a banquet and enter the City Lord's Mansion are all people with heads and faces in Jiang Xue City!
It was getting late, and it was getting closer and closer to the time when the banquet began.
The guard standing at the front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, most of the guests had already entered, and the pressure of standing guard was not so great, and he was finally about to get through.
The banquet in the City Lord's Mansion was an exciting day for the guests, but it was an extremely painful day for these guards.
They had to check everyone's invitations to avoid letting those who didn't have them get in, which was a simple thing to do in normal times, but extremely difficult to do in the time leading up to the feast.
The people who can be qualified to enter the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the banquet, which one is not a person who is awesome, and they can't afford to offend any of them.
Some empathetic ones are better, but some people are ......
Unwilling to cooperate with the guards' inspections, they deliberately made things difficult, and some even insulted the guards because they were too serious about the inspection.
But these guards can't do anything at all, who can't afford to mess with them!
Ay......
Thinking of this, the guard standing at the front sighed, every time he had a banquet, he would encounter all kinds of cold words, but there was no way at all.
It's good that I didn't want to get in today!
When he was standing guard, there was a young master of the family who wanted to get in, but he found out, because he strictly followed the rules, he was beaten up by the young master of the family.
Although the family apologized to the city lord afterwards, he was beaten for nothing......
Well?
But at this time, a figure appeared at the corner of the intersection, and a young man in tattered clothes walked over with a steady step, judging from the direction in which the young man walked, he was coming towards the city lord's mansion.
It's a raw face!
When the guards saw the boy's face, they were sure they hadn't seen him.
I guess I'm here to make trouble!
The guard's face became serious, it is a very serious matter to come to the city lord's mansion to make trouble, there was once a guard, because of poor inspection, let a person get in, and was killed by the city lord on the spot!
At this time, not only the first guard saw the young man, but all the other guards saw the young man, and saw the young man with a calm face, and walked over very indifferently.
This young man is none other than Chu Han.
Due to the delay in dealing with the assassination, when Chu Han came to the City Lord's Mansion, the banquet was about to start.
When Chu Han saw that the people around him were all dressed in brocade clothes, he suddenly realized that when he returned to Chu Mansion once, he forgot to change into clean clothes.
This dress has not only experienced the battle with the disciples of the Tianji Sect, but also experienced the torture and killing with the nine killers, which can be said to be full of blood.
The original white robe, mixed with blood and dirt, was extremely dirty.
"Stop!"
As soon as Chu Han walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he was stopped by several guards.
These guards had fierce expressions on their faces, obviously not treating Chu Han as a guest, but directly as a troublemaker, or a beggar asking for food.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion, idle people, etc., are forbidden to enter!"
The guard at the head said with a serious face, for such a thing, he wants to solve it as quickly as possible, if the matter is big and attracts the attention of others, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!
"I'm here for a banquet. ”
Chu Han smiled faintly, it was not an accident that he could be stopped by the guards in this way, he could still understand it, if he was a guard, such a person, he would also stop it.
"You're coming to a banquet?"
A flash of suspicion flashed in the guard's eyes, and he looked Chu Han up and down suspiciously, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he should be seeing a banquet, but he still stretched out a hand and said in a deep voice: "Please show the invitation!"
"Do you want an invitation?!" This time it was Chu Han's turn to be surprised, this city lord's mansion banquet still needs an invitation?
No one gave him an invitation!
No one even told him he needed an invitation!
The guard's face changed suddenly, and from Chu Han's reaction, he could be very sure that the sloppy young man in front of him had no invitation.
If you don't have an invitation, you're not a guest!
It's not a guest, it's just a troublemaker!
"If you don't have an invitation, then please leave, this is the city lord's mansion, idle people, etc., it is forbidden to enter!"
"Wait a minute. ”
Chu Han waved his hand, frowned and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here, your city lord personally invited me here, and he didn't give me an invitation, otherwise you should go and send a message to the city lord......"
Burst!
Hahaha!
As soon as Chu Han's words came out, several guards couldn't hold back and laughed directly, and even a few people had stomachs that hurt when they laughed......
"I heard you right! You kid said that the lord of the city personally invited you here! Oh my God! hahaha!"
"It's definitely the funniest joke I've ever heard this year!"
"It's really laughing at me! You actually asked us to send a message to the city lord, you think about it, who do you think you are, the city lord is the one you say to see!"
"It's too for the city lord to invite you here, you don't look at your sloppy appearance, you are also worthy!"
"Boy, my last word of advice is for you, get out of here, this is not the place for you!"
"You're young, your tone is not small, you have to be at least reliable to brag, why don't you say that you are the chief Chu of the Alchemist Guild!"
These guards laughed at Chu Han as much as they could, venting their frustration caused by standing guard at the door.
"Ahem......"
Chu Han coughed in embarrassment, looked at these guards with strange eyes, and couldn't help but admire their speculative ability.
That's all right.
Terrible!
"I am indeed the chief alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, my name is Chu Han......"
Puff puff!
Before Chu Han's words were finished, the spittle stars of these guards turned into fountains, and they looked at Chu Han one by one as if they were stunned, and the smiles on their faces were extremely weird.
"Boy...... Don't be like this, go back quickly! As soon as you finish speaking, you will learn and sell now, don't be so exaggerated, we are not stupid. The guards didn't know how to express their feelings.
However, at this time, a girl in white came from afar.
The girl's lotus steps move lightly, her temperament is outstanding, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and her gestures are pure and elegant.
After a while, the girl walked to the door of the City Lord's Mansion, but she didn't go in directly, but looked at the sloppy young man suspiciously......
"Chu Han?"
