Chapter 6: The Ruined Lord's Palace
Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain...
Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, and Fauber turned on the unique rain protection device on the carriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the roof of this carriage, there is a movable skateboard that can be extended forward to provide shade from the sun and rain.
When he was in the Grand Duke's Palace, there were other servants who did it, but Fu Bo was not at ease, so he had to insist on driving the carriage himself, but Lin Fengyou couldn't help it, so he had to give up.
Considering that driving the carriage was windy and rainy, Lin Feng slightly changed the structure of the carriage and added a movable skateboard to shade the sun and rain.
After this change, Lin Feng was also ridiculed by other family members, saying that these servants didn't need such good treatment.
"Let's... Let's..."
I saw a short, dark-skinned young man rushing down the road behind the carriage with a cart of wood, covered with a layer of grease cloth, which was not large and could only cover two-thirds of the area.
The swarthy young man didn't have any rain shelter on him, so he just buried his head and went straight.
"This big brother, the places that can't be covered by the wood and grease cloth in this car are already a lot wet, so you better hide from the rain first. Lin Feng opened the window and said to the swarthy young man who ran by the side of the car.
The swarthy young man glanced at Lin Feng from the corner of his eye, did not speak, and continued to rush forward.
When the swarthy young man passed the carriage, he muttered, "Take care of more things." ”
If it weren't for Lin Feng's quick hearing, he wouldn't have heard this sentence, so he couldn't help laughing.
Continuing on his way, in a short time he came to the city gate.
The gate of Red Maple City was large, enough for four carriages like Lin Feng to enter and exit at the same time, and under the pouring rain, two rows of guards wore armor and swords, and held their posts in the heavy rain.
Lin Feng nodded, very satisfied with the guard, although he didn't know his combat effectiveness, but this attitude was very good.
Walking to the gate, Lin Feng's carriage was blocked by the guards.
"Get out of the car and check," said one of the guards.
Lin Feng took out a token from his arms and handed it to Fu Bo, who got it and handed it to the guards.
After the guard got the token, he flipped through a few articles, and was a little puzzled, and he was probably not sure, so he handed it to another guard.
The guard took it, and suddenly put his right hand on his shoulder, and bowed to the carriage. He motioned for the other guards to salute.
"Where's your captain?" Lin Feng asked at the guard.
"The captain took his brothers on patrol beside the Mula River. ”
"What's your name?"
"The villain's name is Kong Zhuo," Kong Zhuo replied respectfully, returning the token to Fu Bo with both hands.
"Do you know when the captain will be back?" Lin Feng asked again.
"I don't know about this villain, but the captain usually comes back in the evening, but do you want the villain to call the captain back to see the adult?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment.
"No, you take me to the Lord's Mansion, the others, when the chief captain comes back, inform him to come to the Lord's Mansion to see me, don't call me Lord Why in the future, call me Sixth Master." ”
"Yes!" The guards returned in unison.
"Please!" Kong Zhuo made a gesture of please, and led the way into the city, followed by Fauber in a carriage.
The houses in Red Maple City are all wooden structures, and they are all single-storey, there are no two-story houses, and the streets and roads are paved with square stones, which is relatively clean.
"Kong Zhuo, you've been a guard for a few years. Along the way, Lin Feng asked casually.
"Back to the sixth master, it's been three years, and I'm currently serving as the team leader. Kong Zhuo replied.
"That's not bad. "As far as Lin Feng knows, the Red Maple Ridge guards are also called guards, with 10 people as a team, and every ten teams as a team. Generally, it is very good to be able to do the position of team leader in three years.
"Have you ever started a family? ”
"Married and has a 2 year old son. ”
"I heard that the Lord's Mansion is a large manor, and the lords of the past generations have spent a lot of gold coins, and there are countless exotic flowers and fruits in it?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Kong Zhuo was a little embarrassed.
Lin Feng saw that Kong Zhuo's tone was a little strange: "What?"
"The sixth master doesn't know, this lord's mansion used to be really exquisite, there are countless strange flowers and fruits, but now they are gone, the last few lords have not managed well, many of them have been abandoned, and those strange flowers and fruits have been sold out during the previous lords. Kong Zhuo was a little helpless, hoping that this new lord would not lose again, but even if this wanted to lose, there was nothing to lose, and the valuable things had already been sold out by the previous ones.
"That's the previous lords" Fu Bo interjected at this time, and said confidently: "How can the young master be comparable to those mediocre talents, these sold ones will be sent back sooner or later." ”
Walked about five kilometers.
Kong Zhuo stopped, turned around, and saluted Lin Feng in the carriage.
"Sixth Master, I'm at the Lord's Mansion, I'll open the door. ”
Lin Feng opened the car door and looked forward, a row of wooden railings surrounded the entire lord's mansion, some of the wooden beans were rotten, and the gate was also made of wood. Kong Zhuo walked to the door and pulled a rope.
"Why is this fence made of wood?" Lin Feng was a little strange.
"Back to the sixth master, this fence used to be made of iron, and it was sold by the former lord to Viscount Shadong, and then replaced with a wooden one. Kong Zhuo replied a little embarrassed.
Lin Feng was a little speechless.
After a while, an old man wearing a cloak walked up from inside and opened the car door.
"This is the servant of the big manor, everyone calls him Steward Hong, who has served many lords, and is very familiar with the lord's mansion. Kong Zhuo introduced, and said to the old man who came over: "Steward Hong, why don't you hurry up to meet the new lord." ”
When Elder Hong heard this, he hurriedly came over and saluted, "Little Lao'er has seen the lord. ”
"Well, let's go in first, and call me Sixth Master in the future. Lin Feng said softly.
At this time, Kong Zhuo said to Lin Feng: "Sixth Master, the villain in the lord's mansion does not enter, and the villain still needs to return to the team, so he will retire first." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, see that you are very clever, go in with the sixth master, and in the future, you will specially guard the lord's mansion, and you will not be treated badly, I will talk to your superiors." Lin Feng saw that Kong Zhuo was leaving, and hurriedly said. Along the way, Lin Feng already has a basic understanding of Kong Zhuo, and he feels that the person is not bad, and his cultivation is not low, and there must be a lack of people in the lord's mansion, so let him stay and do things first.
"Yes, Sixth Master. Kong Rong saluted again.
Walking into the Lord's Mansion, a straight road led to a small three-story building that was not tall in the distance, which was the first building above the second story that Lin Feng had seen in Red Maple City.
There was green grass on both sides of the road, and it could be seen from the churning dirt that there must have been something else on it before, and it was probably destroyed by the previous ones.
