Chapter Seventy-Two: Seeing the Old Man
Green mountains and green waters, lush flowers, birds singing and fragrant flowers. In a place where there are no humans and monsters are scarce, Tan Yi feeds on wild beasts every day and uses clear spring nectar as water, and spends three and a half years in a hurry.
In the past three and a half years, Tan Yi has digested all the things left by Wuji, and today he is going out of the mountain, first to meet the old man, and then to go further away.
His first purpose was the city of Luolong. Three and a half years ago, the battle between himself and Dillon, the battle between Wuji and the Divine Blessing Temple, almost destroyed the city of Luolong.
At that time, although it was outside Luolong City, the battle of Wuji was too fierce and spread widely, causing Luolong City to be damaged as well.
Now that he is back here, looking at the gate of Luolong City, which has changed a lot from before, he is very emotional.
The gates are still guarded, but unlike before, when they had to pay an entrance fee, now the people can come and go freely, and as long as they are not in a large group, they will not be interrogated.
The city is also thriving, much more lively than in the past.
Of course, it's not that it wasn't lively in the past, it's just that without the evil force of the Black Shark Gang, the Admiralty Gate has moved out of Luolong City again, and now all the affairs in the city are managed by the City Lord's Mansion alone, so it can naturally develop at will.
Tan Yi walked around casually, and before he knew it, he came to the center of the city.
Back then, it was the common area of the City Lord's Mansion, the Admiralty Gate and the Black Shark Gang, although it was shared, it was actually a small battlefield, a ruin, and no one would go at all.
Now the mansion has been built here, and the three big characters of the City Lord's Mansion are hung on it, and it seems that the City Lord's Mansion has moved over.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, presumably the life of the Yellow City Lord is good." Tan Yi muttered to himself, raised his feet and walked over.
"If you are coming, please stay." A guard stopped Tan Yi, looked up and down, and saw that although Tan Yi was dressed ordinarily, he was young, about twenty years old, but he still said politely, "Who is Your Excellency?" What's the matter? Who do you want to meet? ”
The guards asked three questions in a row, and their attitude was polite, but they also showed an arrogant appearance.
Tan Yi arched his hand and said, "Under Tan Yi, please go and inform the Yellow City Lord, just say that I will come to see him." ”
The guard was stunned, this person actually came to see the city lord, and he didn't feel nervous at all when he spoke, and secretly asked if there would be a problem in his heart, but since he reported his name, everything was still waiting for the city lord to be informed.
"Your Excellency is waiting here, and I'll report it."
In the city lord's mansion, Huang Liangting was receiving a guest, this guest was wearing an official uniform, and Huang Liangting was also polite in front of him, respectful, and greeted with good wine and food.
"Lord Huangcheng, the construction of your Luolong City is very good, the taxes paid in the past two years have been more and more year by year, and the emperor has already known your merits and is very satisfied with you. Now in the imperial court, there is just a vacant position, and our family can recommend you, but there are many people competing for this position, and whether you can do it depends on your true ability. ”
It was a eunuch who spoke, with a male duck voice, and spoke slowly.
"Thank you Cheng Gonggong for his kindness, it's just that Xia Guan can achieve today's achievements because of the help of a friend, he suddenly disappeared three years ago, and he has not been found yet. Xia Guan wants to wait here for two years, hoping to have news of him, if it is not for Xia Guan's five years of searching, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Huang Liangting politely refused.
Cheng Gonggong nodded, he didn't care, he just came to convey an opportunity for promotion, whether Huang Liangting went or not, that was his business.
"The Yellow City Lord is affectionate and righteous, and our family can only remind us that this position is available this year, but it may not be available again next year. Of course, how the Yellow City Lord chooses, our family will not ask. Our family came this time, and there was one more thing, the emperor was going to set up a military position of a war marquis, and he would directly obey the emperor's orders. The recruitment of this war marquis requires that the applicants are young people under the age of thirty, and the lowest realm must be the acquired triple, and they will be unified in the palace for the competition. The duty of the war marquis is to replace the emperor to conquer other countries and expand the territory of our Tiandu Empire. This matter is up to the various city lords to release the news, so that the young talents who have participated in the competition will prepare, and they will enter the palace after three years. ”
Cheng's father-in-law took a sip of wine and ate a mouthful of food, which was very leisurely.
Huang Liangting nodded, probably understanding what the emperor meant. The emperor wants to use his official position to stimulate young talents, let them practice diligently, improve their national strength, and want to become the largest country in the southwest.
"The lower officials understand that this matter will be carried out by the lower officials, and they will definitely recommend outstanding talents." Huang Liangting said with a smile.
At that moment, one of the guards walked in and got down on one knee. "Tell the city lord, there are people outside who want to see you."
Huang Liangting frowned, and scolded angrily: "Don't you know that I am receiving distinguished guests? Whoever asks for a meeting, I'll talk about it later. ”
The guard shuddered, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's a young man, he said his name is Tan Yi." ”
"What!" Huang Liangting almost didn't throw the chopsticks he was eating on the ground when he heard this, looking for someone who had been unsuccessful for three years, and today he actually appeared by himself. "Quick! Invite him in! ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, and he was still furious just now, but after hearing this name, his attitude changed so much, and he seemed to be a very important person.
The guards obeyed the order and hurried out.
The smile on Huang Liangting's face that couldn't be concealed surprised Cheng's father-in-law.
Cheng Gonggong smiled and said, "City Lord Huang, who is that?" I was very curious that you would be shown to be like this. ”
"Father-in-law Cheng, this person is the best of the young talents that Xia Guan has seen, you will know it when you see it in a while." Huang Liangting sold a pass, and it is hard to believe Tan Yi's deeds if he didn't see it with his own eyes.
Cheng's father-in-law was curious, how powerful this person named Tan Yi was, which made Huang Liangting so optimistic.
Not long after, Tan Yi, led by the guards, came to the welcoming hall.
"Lord Huangcheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." Tan Yi walked in, his body straight, smiling and arching his hands.
"Presumptuous! Seeing that the city lord still does not kneel, you can come in here, you should be very grateful. At this time, a guard in military uniform, seeing that Tan Yi was dressed in general and his true qi was weak, immediately shouted.
Since Huang Liangting built Luolong City into a better place and became much more approachable, there have been many chivalrous literati who have come to pay their respects.
This guard has seen a lot, so he thinks that Tan Yi is also the one who came to visit, if he usually arrives, it would be fine, but with the presence of distinguished guests today, how could Tan Yi be allowed to meet casually?
"Don't be rude!" Huang Liangting frowned, it was too late for him to stammer Tan Yi, and now he was actually scolded by a guard, hoping that Tan Yi would not care. "Stand down."
The guard stepped back stupidly and glared at Tan Yi.
Tan Yicai didn't bother to care about him, if it weren't for Huang Liangting's face, a slap would have slapped him to death.
"Tan Xiaoyou, you're finally back, Lao Chang and I thought you were •••••• no matter what, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Huang Liangting stepped forward, like an elder.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is the celebrity around the emperor in the court, Father-in-law Cheng." Huang Liangting was ready to take a line, "Father-in-law Cheng, this little friend is the young talent Tan Yi I admire." ”
"Oh? Let's take a look. Cheng's father-in-law walked around Tan Yi, and his divine sense quietly swept over Tan Yi's body, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
Tan Yi smiled secretly in his heart, and his divine sense also went over to investigate. This Cheng Gonggong turned out to be a great master of the Innate Triple Realm, no wonder he was a celebrity around the emperor, and his strength was really powerful.
Although Gonggong Cheng has already seen Tan Yi's realm, it is actually a congenital realm, and then look at his age, he is about twenty years old. It's not that he hasn't seen such a powerful young man, there are just two princes in the palace who are one age and one realm with him.
But one of the princes was piled up with a huge amount of resources, and his real combat power could only be regarded as the triple peak of the day after tomorrow.
"This little friend, maybe pick me up?" Cheng's father-in-law couldn't help but make a tentative.
"Father-in-law just make a move." Tan Yi doesn't care, although he wants to take a low-key route now, as long as he doesn't behave too against the sky, there is no problem.
Cheng's father-in-law laughed, and his innate true qi converged in one hand, and then pushed it out with one palm.
Cheng Gonggong's palm was just a temptation, and he only took out one point of strength, according to common sense, one point of power of the innate triple is enough to kill the congenital one. However, Tan Yi's performance is light, and Cheng Gonggong will naturally not judge according to common sense.
