Chapter Seventy-One: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
When Sun Quan came out of the twenty-ninth courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a servant standing outside the door, Sun Quan had seen this person more than once in the City Lord's Mansion, and knew that he was a subordinate of the City Lord Qin Feng.
"Lord Sun, summoned by the city lord, please come down with me!" The middle-aged servant bowed his hand to Sun Quan, and said directly to the point.
Sun Quan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the mansion behind him, and then he understood the purpose of the city lord Qin Feng to summon him, and after nodding, he turned around and walked to the front of his house, untied the reins of the war horse from the tethered horse stone, turned over and got on the back of the tall horse, and then followed the man to the city lord's mansion with a whip.
After walking quickly into the city lord's study, Sun Quan saw that there was still a city lord's personal guard standing in the room. Seeing Sun Quan coming, City Lord Qin Feng waved his hand casually, and the personal guard bowed and bowed and retreated.
"Subordinate Sun Quan, see the City Lord!" Sun Quan nodded at the man, and then knelt down on one knee facing Qin Feng and said.
"Get up, I have something to ask you, I hope Sun Qianhu won't hide anything!" Qin Feng sat behind the table and said straight to the point.
Sun Quan knew it in his heart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists again, and replied in an extremely respectful tone: "If the city lord asks, his subordinates must know everything!"
Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked seemingly casually, "You have already come into contact with the newcomer Long Baihu, right? What is your impression of him?" ”
Sun Quan had already prepared, and replied from the bottom of his heart when he heard this: "Although Long Qianhu is still young, the comprehensive strength he has shown can indeed overwhelm us for thousands of households, and he is a powerful star magician, so his future should be limitless!"
Although these words were true, they were not the answer that Qin Feng wanted to hear, so he frowned and said in a deep voice: "To get to the point, you know that what I want to hear is not this!"
Sun Quan hurriedly bowed down and confessed, then straightened up and said: "Long Qianhu said that he was born in the mountains and wilderness, but from the brief contact between his subordinates and him, he found that this son has a calmness far beyond his age, and he also sees the world very thoroughly, not like a person who has never seen the world. ”
Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully, frowned and pondered for a long time before speaking again: "I have already sent people to the mountains and wilderness in the south to investigate, some time ago, there were indeed two Orion families who were exterminated by foreign beasts, but because the residences of those two families were very remote, no one could prove his origin. ”
Although Sun Quan and Xiao Longchen have not been in contact for a long time, they also feel that this is a friend who is worth making deeply, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said cautiously: "It is not clear whether there is a problem with this young man's background, but judging from the impression he gives me now, over time, he will definitely grow into an excellent general." Just from the fact that he can show mercy to Qiu Mingshuo's subordinates today, it can be seen that this Long Qianhu's nature is not bad!"
Qin Feng couldn't see this bit of his thoughts, so he just glanced at him with interest when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "Regardless of whether this young man's background is innocent or not, his potential and temperament are a point that I value a lot. Even if he comes from another empire, after all, he is just a teenager! I believe that as long as he can be reused by me, there is still no big problem in terms of loyalty. When you get along with him in the future, you can also help me pay more attention to it, and if you find anything, you must come and report it as soon as possible!"
Sun Quan was also very satisfied with this result, so he hurriedly bowed down when he heard the words.
I thought that Qin Feng would let him step down, but I didn't expect this city lord to arrange another task for him: "You go to the housekeeper to get a thousand-year-old blood spirit ginseng, I heard that Long Qianhu can be injured by Qiu Mingshuo today, it can be regarded as a kindness conveyed to him by the city lord!"
Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect the city lord to make such a generous move.
You must know that a thousand-year-old blood spirit ginseng is worth enough to be comparable to a third-order star weapon. Now that this Long Qianhu has just arrived, he can be so valued by the city lord, as long as he does not betray or fall in the future, he will definitely become the absolute high-level of the Zhenbei Army.
Although Sun Quan was amazed in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate at all on the surface, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated, and went to the city lord's mansion housekeeper to collect the blood spirit ginseng.
When Sun Quan's back disappeared from the study, the city lord Qin Feng squinted his eyes and said, "I hope this young man won't disappoint the city lord!
It wasn't until Sun Quan took the exquisite brocade box handed over by the housekeeper that he came to his senses.
The reason why the city lord asked him to hand over this generous gift is probably also to knock the two of them. The first is to let Xiao Longchen know that his every move is under the surveillance of the city lord. Second, it was to put a spike on the friendship between the two that was not yet fully stable, and no one could ignore it, so that they clearly understood that this town north city was his Qin Feng's territory.
Sun Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the city lord, so he had to hope that little brother Long, who could understand that he couldn't help himself, so don't worry about this matter!
After all, such a thing as making a small report, whether it is voluntary or forced, is an act that is easy to be hated.
Sun Quan absentmindedly rode his horse and galloped through the bustling streets of Zhenbei City, and all the civilian traders along the way hurriedly dodged, for fear of offending this adult wearing a thousand official uniforms.
In this border fortress, only the officers and the astrologers of the Shenji Battalion have the privilege of riding horses in the city, and if ordinary civilian merchants dare to do so, they will definitely be arrested by the city patrol guards and imprisoned.
Not many people felt that there was anything wrong with this ban. After all, if this border fortress and the human world behind it want to live and work in peace and contentment, they must rely on these people to fight with ferocious beasts.
After tying the war horse to the tethered horse stone in front of his house, Sun Quan went directly to the No. 29 courtyard next to him with the brocade box.
The blood ginseng in the brocade box was a gift from the city lord, and he was a small thousand households, and he didn't have the courage to do it privately.
Even if you are reluctant, you have to deliver the gift yourself. As for whether this matter will make the little brother dragon feel a problem in his heart, it is not something he can control.
When Sun Quan knocked on the door knocker, Xiao Longchen was practicing cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom. An injury like a broken kneecap is very likely to be disabling for ordinary people, but for an astrologist, it doesn't leave any sequelae.
However, if you want to recover as soon as possible, the period when you have just been injured is the best time to heal.
The moment the knocker sounded, Xiao Longchen, who was unconscious and keen, noticed it, and sensed it slightly, and found that it was Sun Quan who had gone and returned, so Xiao Longchen hurriedly stopped his cultivation and said with his divine thoughts: "Come in, Brother Sun, I have inconvenient legs and feet now, so I won't go out to meet you." ”
The familiar voice that suddenly sounded in his mind made Sun Quan even more impressed by the power of the star magician, but the orders of the city lord were equivalent to military orders to him, and they had to be completed.
So Sun Quan took a deep breath and calmed down a little apprehensive before pushing the door and walking in.
When he stepped into the threshold of the hall, Xiao Longchen also walked out with his support for the wall, and when he saw Sun Quan's depressed expression, he asked with a smile: "Brother Sun has just left for a while, why did he come back again?"
Sun Quan didn't say much, and handed the brocade box in his hand forward: "The city lord heard that you were injured, so he ordered me to send you a blood spirit ginseng, hoping to help Brother Long recover as soon as possible." There are still some things in the foolish brother's house, so I won't disturb your rest!"
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he stuffed the brocade box into Xiao Longchen's hand, and left without looking back.
Xiao Longchen looked at the brocade box in his hand, and then looked at Sun Quan's back as he walked away in great astonishment, and a wry smile quickly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With his cleverness, how could he not have thought of the deep meaning hidden behind this gift? It's just that in his opinion, this kind of thing is completely inevitable, and he doesn't have any intention of blaming Sun Quan.
Seeing the big brother's face flushed, Xiao Longchen felt very funny.
