Chapter 22: The Guest of the City Lord (1)
Continue to ask for support, thank you!
There's one more chapter in the evening!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Pacing slowly in the room, the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and his high position had not made him so sad for a long time.
The death of the cold old ghost was too sudden, and for Crescent City, this was tantamount to a great earthquake.
The Leng family was originally among the three major forces, and their foundation was a little shallow, but now that the Leng old ghost is dead, it has directly aroused the prying eyes of the other two families, if it weren't for their own pressure, I'm afraid, they would have already done something to the Leng family.
Originally, these big forces were fighting each other, and who won and who lost was not what he cared about, as long as he still sat in the position of the city lord of Crescent City for a day, no one could shake his position.
It's just that now it's different from the past.
There was news from Wang Du's side that the core disciples of several major families had completed the Chengren Ceremony and intended to take charge of one side. The above means that from among these city lords in the Northern Regions, pick some people who don't have a deep background.
It's a pity that he was born in an ordinary nobleman in the royal city, and his background itself is not deep, but being able to become the city lord of Crescent City is his own strength and means, and then there is also a bit of luck.
When this kind of sensitivity, a casual excuse is enough to make people move him.
However, at this time, the cold old ghost died!
If Crescent City is in chaos because of this, once the news reaches the royal capital, there is no doubt that his city lord will be directly taken down.
"City Lord, I just received news that it seems that the prince of Wang Cheng has arrived in Crescent Moon City. ”
Suddenly, a subordinate pushed open the door and whispered.
"What did you say?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, the Crescent Moon City Lord's voice couldn't help but be a little heavier, almost suspecting that he had misheard.
"City Lord, today there is a young man with a small servant and an escort into the city, claiming to be from the royal city, the shelves are very sufficient, I have let people understand, but the other party has an extraordinary temperament, I'm afraid it is not fake. ”
"The noble children of the royal city?" a slight mutter, a playful smile suddenly appeared on the face of the Crescent Moon City Lord.
This is simply someone sending a pillow when I am sleeping! I was still worried about the changes in the royal capital just now, and someone came from the royal capital here, hey, it's very good.
"Send someone to make a name for me, I want to meet this prince from the king's capital. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip lightly, the Crescent Moon City Lord suddenly made up his mind.
.........
"Childe, there is a woman outside, who claims to be from the Leng family, and wants to see Childe. ”
Surrounded by a bunch of warblers and swallows, the little girl in Tsing Yi whispered to his ear.
"Oh?" raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared on Fang Cun's face, and he gently patted the girl next to him on the buttocks, and said with mockery, "Woman, how is it, is it beautiful?"
"That's natural, I know that your eyesight is high, if you are not beautiful, the little one will not dare to disturb you at this time. Squeezing his eyebrows and laughing, the little girl in Tsing Yi agreed repeatedly.
"Childe, you hate it!" several girls around him suddenly said dissatisfiedly, and some even pinched Fang Cun's soft flesh with their hands and punished them slightly.
"Haha, okay, okay, I know that you are the most well-behaved, and my son will go back when he goes. Pushing away the girl next to her, she didn't bother to change her clothes, so she swaggered and followed the little girl in Tsing Yi outside.
I'm afraid it's the lady of the Leng family, hey, it's very interesting, this time, I didn't change my face, I didn't change my name, I saw myself, I'm afraid I want to scare her, right?
"Xinling has seen Childe!" Seeing Fang Cun stepping into the living room from a distance, Leng Xinling hurriedly bowed.
"Sure enough, there is a bit of a posture. The tone was full of mockery, Fang Cun looked at Leng Xinling from head to toe, and then said leisurely, "Sit down." ”
"Yes. Although the other party's words obviously had a flirtatious taste, Leng Xinling didn't dare to put on any face casually, according to the news, the other party was a real noble son of the royal city, and it was far from something that a Leng family could offend. What's more, this time I came, I was asking for help.
It's just that the moment he raised his head to see the square inch, Leng Xinling couldn't help but suddenly lose his face, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet!
"Square inch?!"
The green and green stone robe is obviously from the hands of a famous artist, and the nine-pattern dragon jade pendant on the waist, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, and the most important thing is that the other party also has the temperament of a real superior, arrogant and indifferent.
But...... But that's not the point, the point is that the other party's face is exactly the same as Fang Cun!
"Presumptuous, can you also call my son-in-law's name?" Hearing that Leng Xinling dared to call him by his name, the little guy in Tsing Yi immediately sneered and said unceremoniously.
“......”
"Interesting, what's your name?Xinling, right?," looked at Leng Xinling with more interest, and said leisurely.
Speaking of this, the little guy in Tsing Yi remembered that after arriving in Crescent City, Fang Cun had never mentioned his name before, how did this woman know? Could it be that he knew his son?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to scold anymore, and honestly stepped aside.
You must know that he himself was saved by Fang Cun not long ago, and he only knew that his master was a nobleman in the royal capital, and he didn't know much about it, let alone whether he knew anyone before.
"You are Fang Cun!! Leng Xinling's face changed greatly, and he looked at Fang Cun in disbelief, "You...... Why are you here?"
"Presumptuous!" frowned suddenly, Fang Cun's face showed a hint of displeasure, and said indifferently, "No matter where you know the name of this son, if you dare to be so disrespectful, don't blame this son for being polite." ”
There was a trace of impatience on his face, and Fang Cun stared at Leng Xinling with a gloomy face, looking like a gentleman, indifferent and domineering.
As soon as the words of "......" came out, Leng Xinling was immediately confused, could it be that he really recognized the wrong person?
After carefully looking at it again, Leng Xinling found that the other party seemed to be a little different from the square inch in his impression, although it was very similar, he was not sure.
Especially the other party's current identity and style, which is far from that square inch, even the demeanor and temperament are very different.
A person's appearance may be fake, but the temperament and surname on the body are difficult to fake.
Temporarily pressed the doubts in his heart, and Leng Xinling immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's Xinling who recognized the wrong person, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”
"Seeing the wrong person?" Hearing this, Fang Cun was immediately very interested, and looked at Leng Xinling curiously, "Interesting, you mean, there are still people who can be as handsome and dashing as this son?"
The words "......" almost choked Leng Xin to death, phew, is there such a shameless person in the world?
Thinking of Fang Cun's ruthless side at the beginning, the doubts in Leng Xinling's heart couldn't help but fade a little, that cold-blooded and ruthless guy who cherished words like gold and couldn't be the same person with this shameless kid.
Restrained his mind for a moment, Leng Xinling said with a straight face, "Childe, Xinling came this time to invite Childe to come over on behalf of the Leng family, and Childe came from afar, and the Leng family should be a little bit more suitable as a landlord." ”
