Chapter 235: The Governor of the Guard

readx;? Frontier Guard Mansion, a huge mansion with five entrances in the north of the town, although there are only five entrances before and after, its actual area is nearly one-third of the area of Dingbei Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is so large that it has a lot of potential in it.

The momentum of the Frontier Guard Mansion is definitely proud and independent in Dingbei Town, not to mention that it is placed in this remote Dingbei Town, even if it is placed in the dignified Jinling City, there are few such a magnificent mansion.

Not to mention anything else, just this imposing huge gatehouse is enough to make people impressive, the vermilion huge gate is unusually wide, enough to accommodate ten big men in the same row without crowding, and there are wide steps piled up of white marble inside and outside the door. There are 66 stone steps outside the door, and 33 stone steps are built inside the door, so the terrain of the whole border guard house is much higher than that of Dingbei Town, in other words, people can look up at the shadow of the border guard house when they stand far away, and standing on the gatehouse of the border guard house can also take in most of Dingbei Town. This kind of commanding posture is enough to show that the Frontier Guard Mansion is absolutely superior to others in the northern Xinjiang.

In the middle of the towering gatehouse, there is a huge black plaque, which is solemnly and neatly inscribed with five gilded characters "Northern Frontier Guard Mansion", and at the place where this plaque is written, "Linghuang Yanchong" four small characters, there is a plaque with the inscription of the Holy Domain Leader, no wonder the Frontier Guard Mansion will be so domineering.

In addition to the steps before formally stepping on the gatehouse, there is also a huge stone unicorn on both sides, the unicorn is three people high, claiming to weigh 10,000 catties, but the carving is lifelike, as if it is alive all the time to exude their majesty. Standing under these two stone unicorns without doing anything, people will feel an inexplicable pressure coming from the top of their heads, especially in the face of the round eyes of the unicorn, although it is made of stone sculptures, it still gives people a sense of shock that penetrates people's hearts, if you are timid, you are afraid that you can't even raise the courage to stand at the feet of the stone unicorn.

And after entering the house gate, you will enter the courtyard. And the most striking building in the courtyard is the imposing one facing the gate of the house. The main hall of Northern Xinjiang is the most magnificent and tall building in the entire border guard mansion, and in addition to this main hall, almost all the other places in the border guard mansion are ordinary side courtyards, and this is also the place where the governor deals with major government affairs in northern Xinjiang, and it is also the easiest place for people to reach outside, and in addition to entering the courtyard, if it is not for the people inside the border guard mansion, it is impossible to be allowed to enter。

The second and third courtyards are the largest, with the most rooms and the most densely arranged, because this is the place where the largest number of northern border guards live and train. Relatively speaking, the Sijin Courtyard is much quieter, because it is where the flag owners and their cronies live, the number of people is small, and the natural courtyard layout and room size are very different. And the innermost Wujin Courtyard is naturally the place where the governor lives, without asking.

In the main hall of the northern frontier of a courtyard, there is a half-height high platform at the innermost end of the temple gate, the red carpet on the high platform looks extraordinarily luxurious, and on this high platform there is a huge chair comparable to a bed and a wide dragon bookcase, of course, the whole high platform is only this set of seats. The skeleton of the chair and the dragon book case are both ivory white, which looks like they are brilliant and crystal clear, and on the chair there is also a huge black and white tiger striped skin, the fur color is bright and soft, presumably this giant tiger also had a lot of cultivation before it was killed, so that his fur can still remain so glorious after death. Legend has it that the origin of this set of tables and chairs was that during the Battle of the Wolf Grassland, the Governor of Weifu personally killed a supreme powerhouse of the Beast Domain Giant Elephant Clan who invaded the Holy Domain, and then uprooted the huge tusks of his real body.

Under the high platform of the main hall, it is all paved with huge purple jade bricks, and there are rows of seats on each side of the hall, and next to each two seats stands a square tea table, which is not luxurious but very elegant and simple.

At this moment, there were already six people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall, and each of them was dressed in a black brocade robe, dressed roughly the same as Tan Si, but the expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were proud, some were indifferent, some were friendly, and there was also scrutiny, and the six expressions of the six people were also quite exciting. The six of them were all banner masters of the Border Guard Mansion, and at this moment, there were dozens of northern border guards standing straight behind them like steel guns, and they were the cronies of these banner owners. According to the rules of the governor, the banner owner can bring his cronies and even enter the main hall of Northern Xinjiang with a knife.

However, at this moment, none of the six banner masters sat in the hall and did not speak, because their attention was all focused on the elephant chair on the high platform, and there, at this time, there was a 'young man' with a beautiful face but a trace of coldness in his eyebrows.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young man, because whether it is the handsome face, or the flowing black hair, or the slightest wrinkle on the face is not smooth and delicate, and the charming look in his eyes, and even his lazy sitting posture, and the slender figure half-leaning on the elephant chair, all show that this person is not very old, not only a young man, but also a handsome young man with a handsome appearance and full of charm. But in fact, no one knows the real age of this person, only that Tan Si just joined the Border Guard Mansion when he was just a hairy boy, and this person was already in the Border Guard Mansion at that time.

And he is the governor of the Weifu who is in charge of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion and holds the power of the feudal territory, Xi Chen!

There are also four ****** who are delicate and delicate beside Xi Chen's elephant chair, they are Xi Chen's personal slaves, and they are responsible for waiting for Xi Chen's bit by bit. Of course, they are also the only people who can climb this high platform except for Xi Chen.

"Oh, it's not a family, it's not a door, isn't it? haha...... I don't know each other with the two sons!" At this moment, Tan Si was standing in the middle of the lobby and told Xi Chen about his encounter with Lu Yifan and a few people, while Lu Yifan, Liu Sandao, Xie Yun, and Lan Chen, Hai Lao, and Sanchun were standing behind Tan Si, quietly listening to him report to Xi Chen about today's events. As for Yin Xi and his subordinates, they were all arranged to wait in the courtyard at the moment.

"Tan Si, looking at the dust on your body, it seems that you haven't taken any advantage in this no-fight and no-acquaintance?" a treacherous-looking thin-faced man sneered and sneered, he was also a banner master like Tan Si, named Qin Bao, and he was the most treacherous and sinister of the thirteen banner masters. On weekdays, Qin Bao also looks down on the arrogant and domineering Tan Si, thinking that Tan Si is brave and unscrupulous, and he is a reckless man.

"Qin Bao, I'm telling the Governor, what are you talking about?" Tan Si shouted in a deep voice.

"I just asked casually, looking at your attitude, we will know the result, if you don't want to say it, I won't embarrass you anymore!" Qin Bao smiled wickedly, this feeling of hiding a knife in a smile is actually the most hated.

"A family? Hmph, Tan Si, are you saying this a little early!" Another burly strong man said lightly, "They haven't officially entered the Border Guard Mansion yet, why are you so anxious to climb relatives? Don't you fall in love with the powerful people behind these two kids? Want to take this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune?"

"Bah!" Tan Si spat at the ground viciously, and then said disdainfully, "If Lao Tzu wants to be promoted and make a fortune, how can he stay here to do more than 20 years in the Wei Mansion?"

"Haha, fourth, we're just joking, you see your stinky temper, you're in a hurry again!" another slightly older flag owner laughed and started the round.

"Old Hu, that's not how the joke is made......"

"Okay, okay, fourth, you don't have to worry about this......"

"Quiet!" Just as the flag masters were talking to Tan Si word by word, Xi Chen, who had been sitting quietly on the elephant chair, finally spoke, his voice was as clear and cold as his people, but there was an irresistible thick majesty in it.

As soon as Xi Chen spoke, the hall instantly fell into silence, and even Qin Bao, who had always liked to stir up trouble, did not dare to say anything more.

Xi Chen first narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, then slowly exhaled a breath in his mouth, and then leaned back lazily, and his two legs were placed on the shoulders of the two handmaidens kneeling in front of him, and the other two handmaidens hurriedly stepped forward to carefully pound their legs for Xi Chen.

"Lu Gongzi, Lan Gongzi!" Xi Chen half-leaned on the elephant chair and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the comfortable feeling now, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Yifan and the others at all, "Go back! This is not the place where you princes and princes should come, your Lao Tzu wants to take the opportunity to give you a chance to hone, but he chose the wrong place, this is the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, not a place to add glory to you and get promoted and rich in the future!"

"What are you talking about?" As soon as Xi Chen's words came out, Lan Shen was furious, and shouted coldly, "Bold Xi Chen, do you know who you're talking to now?"

"I know! Your Laozi Zhenbei Gong Lan Shixun's temper is not as big as you!" Xi Chen was not angry, and his words were still as plain as water, "You should study hard, Zhenbei Gong is much more polite than you kid!"

"Is my father's name called by you, the little governor of the Wei Mansion?" Lan Chen ignored Sanchun's dissuasion, and stubbornly snorted coldly, "Beware of the seat under your ass is unstable!"

"If someone could get my ass out of this seat, then I wouldn't be here a long time ago!" Xi Chen said to himself with a smile, and he didn't look at Lan Chen from beginning to end, "In the Holy Domain, the seven official positions of emperor, king, duke, marquis, minister, government, and official must not be offended! I already knew these things when you were so old, so I didn't bother Lan Gongzi to tell me!"

The seven official positions mentioned by Xi Chen are the seven official ranks in the Holy Land today, among which the throne is the highest, followed by the blood relatives of the royal family who can have the opportunity to be crowned as the throne, and the person with a foreign surname can achieve the largest official rank is the public position, just as Lu Yifan's father Lu Haoqian and Lan Chen's father Lan Shixun of Zhenbei are ranked in the duke, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a very human minister. And below the public seat is the waiting, and Xi Chen, who sits on the elephant chair today, belongs to the waiting position in the official rank. It stands to reason that he is naturally under the Duke of Zhenbei and Duke Wending, but his identity is too special, after all, the feudal official is far from being an official rank that can be generalized, as Xi Chen himself said, if someone can shake his status, then he has offended a lot of magnates over the years, and he should have been gone a long time ago, but in fact he is still sitting in the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, which is enough to show how important his candidate is in the heart of the emperor. And Hou refers more to the city lords of various cities, such as Xie Yang, the city lord of Wenyang, his official rank is Hou, so his mansion is called Wenyang Hou Mansion!

Under the marquis is the minister, and the minister also has a title called 'general', the civil minister is called the minister, and the military minister is called the general. The ministers are in the court, and will be in the barracks. For example, in today's northern frontier defense battalion, the main general is the 'Hou' position, and the partial generals under his command are all 'general' positions. Further down is the prefecture, the power of the mansion is generally not large, but it is very specific, for example, the commander in charge of the city army belongs to the prefecture, and the thirteen banner lords in the border guard mansion today also belong to the prefecture. Under the palace are officials, and the officials will not say much, as long as the people who take the emperor's money are all officials, every soldier in the military camp, or every northern border guard in the border guard mansion, they all belong to the smallest official rank, officials.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that if someone has made great contributions to the entire Sanctuary and the entire royal family, they will also be exceptionally promoted to the throne by the emperor at that time. For example, the Western Emperor Yingyuan, or the Eastern Emperor Jinghai. They all belong to the strong people with foreign surnames, but they can also be called emperors, and they are equal to the emperor in terms of glory.

"You ......"

"Okay Lan Chen!" Just when Lan Chen was about to attack again, Lu Yifan stopped him very appropriately, and after saying that, Lu Yifan also arched his hand at Xi Chen, and said loudly, "I am just under my father's order, but at the same time, I am also the emperor's grace, and I hope to supervise Mingjian!"

Saying that, Lu Yifan also took out the letter of pro-life with the emperor's payment from his sleeve just now, and spread it out in front of Xi Chen.

Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Xi Chen's eyelids suddenly shook a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes, then slowly sat up straight, leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Yifan tightly, Xi Chen didn't need to look at the book of life at all, because he already knew that this book of life must be true.

Facing Xi Chen's deep eyes, Lu Yifan looked back indifferently, and there was no hint of evasion in his eyes.

Suddenly, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in Xi Chen's eyes, because just now his afterglow swept to Liu Sandao behind Lu Yifan and Hai Lao behind Lan Chen, and when Xi Chen saw the two of them, his eyes that were originally slightly squinted suddenly opened, not only did they open, but his eyes were also full of surprise.

In many cases, there is no need for deliberate temptation between the top masters, as long as a look and a feeling are enough to sense.

"I wonder which of you two Tan Si was defeated today?" Xi Chen suddenly asked, with a bit of curiosity in his voice.

"That's not important!" Liu Sandao replied coldly.

"Oh?" Xi Chen glanced at Liu Sandao with interest, although Liu Sandao did not answer his question, but the extremely smart Xi Chen already knew the answer, "Then what is important for you to tell me?"

"My master is talking to you, first answer what he just said......" Liu Sandao was not afraid of Xi Chen's gaze at all, his attitude was still strong and domineering, and he said word by word, "The most important!"

As soon as Liu Sandao's words came out, Xi Chen couldn't help but smile lightly, his smile was very strange, and it was impossible to tell whether he was laughing contemptuously, or really feeling that Liu Sandao's words were ridiculous.

"Du Du!" Lu Yifan took another step forward and raised the Emperor's Order Book in his hand a few points higher.

"Okay!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to say more, Xi Chen waved his hand at him quite impatiently, then slowly stood up, stretched his muscles lazily, and then accompanied by four maidservants, he walked down the high platform gracefully, ignoring anyone and walked straight out of the door of the main hall, but just when one of his feet just stepped out of the threshold, Xi Chen finally spoke again and left a word.

"Even if the Emperor is here, my answer is the same, the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion has never raised a son! I have the same criteria for whether everyone is eligible to enter the palace. If you want to stay, then let's talk about it after tonight's challenge! As for you making trouble in the town today, it's not too late to wait until tonight's challenge!"

After that, Xi Chen disappeared outside the main hall, leaving only a few banner masters who looked at each other and Lu Yifan who were full of heavy eyes.
