Chapter 531: Wind Ce Mansion
As soon as the eldest grandson left, Xuan Tiancheng couldn't help but ask, "The city lord summoned him?" Which one is this singing? ”
Lang Qi's expression was solemn and he frowned, "It's really hard to say." ”
During the day, he looked at Xuantian and then at Lang Qi, and saw that neither of them spoke, and was just about to get up, when Lang Qi suddenly said, "Eldest Sun Hu, this person is unfathomable, and the fox of the wind is worthy of his reputation." ”
Lang Qi rarely praises people, and he has to admit this person's ability, "Coming to the lower house with the body of the Venerable must be a deep secret, I originally wanted to steal his purpose between words, otherwise this person's words and deeds will not leak, causing me to return in vain, it seems that he did not come to the house as he said, but the city lord agreed." ”
Immediately smiled coldly, his face showed strong confidence, "Changsun Hu is known as the first wise man in the wind, he has more than enough intelligence, his mood is insufficient, he can't attack for a long time, and the flaws are immediately revealed. ”
"Could it be ......" Xuan Tiancheng only then remembered that Lang Qi had just performed the Silver Lotus Sutra, stealing the exercises was still taboo, and others were afraid that it would not be secret, but how could he still support it when Changsun Hu showed that he did not see it, it turned out that this was also Lang Qi's plan.
"Not bad!" Lang Qi sneered: "I did it on purpose, the eldest grandson asked about the exercises, I wanted to take the opportunity to understand my details, but just like giving me a natural step to show the Silver Lotus Sutra, the Silver Lotus Sutra is still forbidden exercises, in this way, from the perspective of the City Lord's Mansion, we are equivalent to accepting the name, and the Silver Lotus Sutra has naturally become a weakness for them to hold me, if I take the initiative to raise this matter, it will be suspected of winning trust, but if it is the head of the eldest grandson, it will become the initiative to recruit, which is perfect, but he can't think of it, We have the ability to change the merits, the Silver Lotus Sutra is not the Silver Lotus Sutra at all, the so-called weakness is just a protective umbrella for us, if he doesn't use it, just everything is the body, if you forcibly use it, you will be counterattacked! ”
Xuan Tiancheng was shocked when he heard it, you must know that this is the eldest grandson, the power is no less than Liu Chong, and in terms of resourcefulness, he is the first in the wind, facing him is more dangerous than facing Liu Chong, Lang Qi can still be like water in front of such a character, and even counterattack and set up a game, it can be said that he is riddled with gentian, he really can't think of anything that the man in front of him dare not do.
Lang Qi smiled shallowly, "This game kills two birds with one stone, just now it is just one of them, second, since Changsun Hu has become our umbrella, it will be a lot easier to cultivate in the future, and through his mouth, Tian'er's psychic realm has a good excuse, even if others have doubts in the realm, Changsun Hu will help us make everything logical, because the so-called weakness is only called weakness when it is in his hands, otherwise it will be meaningless." ”
Xuantian Chengdu was numb in shock, and could only sigh, "It turns out that all this is your bureau, I thought that people came to deliver knives, but I didn't expect it to be desserts." ”
Laughing during the day......
The city lord summoned Xuan Tiancheng and Lang Qi, and she didn't mention the day, so she had to obediently stay in Zhihai to cultivate, and the two roughly communicated the direction of dealing with the city lord tomorrow, so they rested early.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he was going to go to the city lord's mansion, Luo Tong sent two sets of clothes, this person was very careful, he listened carefully to yesterday's conversation, and went to purchase two sets of decent clothes overnight, after all, it was the city lord of Linfeng City who wanted to see it, and he couldn't lose his dignity, he had been an official for so many years, and he had a lot of experience in this regard, and the two of them were also very satisfied.
The City Lord's Mansion and the Linfeng Mansion are two places, one is the City Lord's special mansion, and the other is the Linfeng City Office Center, the place where Liu Changtian summoned them is the City Lord's Mansion, which is not far from the Cloud Mansion, and the fast horse does not need half a day's work.
A checkpoint has been set up in the distance of the city lord's mansion, and everyone must go through the inspection before entering, civilians like Lang Qi still need to dismount and walk, and only certain people are allowed to enter the palace in a special sedan chair, and there are differences in horseback riding and sedan chair according to their status, it seems that the class concept of this Linfeng City is indeed very deep.
After being inspected, they were issued a pass token for the two of them, and it was a long walk into the mansion, but it was not a bad thing for Lang Qi, and he just took the opportunity to observe the surroundings of the City Lord's Mansion.
The road was very wide, and there were no shops along the road, only a few stables, and it looked very empty at a glance, but Lang Qi always felt as if someone was watching him, but when he looked around, there was no one around, but he was sure that someone was watching them, just in a way that he couldn't understand at the moment.
At the gate, the guards took the tokens and motioned for them to follow.
Judging from the direction, walking along the side, I don't think it should be going to the main hall, which is in line with common sense, and it is unlikely that the city lord will summon the commoners in the main hall, because in terms of class, they are not qualified enough.
Coming to a side hall, the guard stopped, "Did you say anything about the rules checkpoint?" ”
Lang Qi nodded, and the man said, "Go in!" ”
The two of them stepped into the gate, and there was an old man in his mid-teens, dressed in a wide golden embroidered robe, wearing a golden cloud crown, and was quietly looking at the book, it was Liu Changtian, the city lord of Linfeng City.
On each side stood young and beautiful maids, holding light fans.
As soon as the two entered the door, Liu Changtian raised his head and saw a pair of blazing eyes.
The rules at the checkpoint said that civilians could not look at the city lord, so the two immediately lowered their heads and bowed down and said, "Meet the city lord!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Changtian replied casually, and even closed the book with some reluctance, and said loudly, "The people standing below are Lang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng?" ”
The two responded respectfully, and Liu Changtian said again: "During this time, there are always people who talk about your heroes and young ...... in their lonely ears" stopped halfway through.
The two didn't know what Liu Changtian meant, so they could only respond to all changes with the same, and did not respond silently, Liu Changtian seemed a little unhappy when he saw this, "Since he is a heroic boy, he should serve Linfeng, I heard that Xuan Tiancheng and Lonely's Ruyun cousin have similar personalities, but people are different, so they should be cautious. ”
Judging from the content, this is a lesson, but Liu Changfeng's identity is still the city lord of Linfeng City, but this can also be understood as official words, and there is no praise or disparagement, and the two nodded respectfully and said yes.
"Xiao Hu admires the two of them a lot, and highly recommends it, Lone will give you two Feng Cefu to walk, don't let Lone down, step back!" After Liu Changtian finished speaking, he stopped talking, took care of his own reading, and the two thanked him and retreated.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a waiter dressed as Lang Zhong walked and smiled at the two of them: "Congratulations to the two adults on taking up the Fengce Mansion, please follow the lower officials." ”
The two didn't even come to figure out the situation, they followed the chamberlain like a puppet, not so much talking to Liu Changtian, it was better to come directly to receive the reward, the only information that could be heard from Liu Changtian's mouth was that Changsun Hu recommended the two of them in front of Liu Changtian, but judging from Liu Changtian's performance just now, he should not be very satisfied with the two, but in the end, he still gave the two of them a position to walk in the Fengce Mansion, which shows that this Changsun Hu has a high status in his mind.
The Wind Ce Mansion is the inner government of the Wind City, although it participates in the management of the specific affairs of the Wind City, but many government decrees come from this, so there is also an internal extension, so everyone in the Wind Strategy Mansion is a real power faction in the Wind City.
Strictly speaking, the Feng Ce Mansion does not belong to the official personnel of the Feng Ce Mansion, but only works in the Feng Ce Mansion, which is equivalent to a temporary worker in the previous life, but even so, in the Wind City, this status is still very high, and the head of the Feng Ce Mansion is the eldest grandson.
"This lord, I don't know if the eldest grandson Langzhong is in the mansion today?" Lang Qi politely asked the waiter.
The man hurriedly turned around and bowed, "Ouch, you are from Fengce Mansion, but don't call Xia Guan like that, just call Xia Guan Xiaoyu." ”
"The adult has just entered the Fengce Mansion, some of the circumstances may not be very clear, the eldest grandson Langzhong is rarely in the Fengce Mansion, and all the affairs in the mansion are handled by Liu Langzhong on weekdays, like Liu Langzhong's noble status, the small officials are qualified to meet in person, and they can't be introduced to you, but since you are arranged by the city lord, you can find Liu Langzhong to personally order it."
smiled, Lang Qi stopped talking, he knew that an official of Xiao Yu's level had limited knowledge, even if he had the intention to flatter, he was not able to break the news, and besides, he himself had only heard of the Feng Ce Mansion, as for appointing him to such a walking position, it was also a sudden fact, and he could only improvise.
Fengce Mansion is relatively low in level, unlike other government agencies, it is not external, strictly speaking, it is only the exclusive institution of the city lord, of course, the city lord here does not refer to Liu Changtian personally, but the position of the city lord, so it is really not big for Linfeng City.
The ordinary small building in front of him is Fengce Mansion, but such a small building that looks very ordinary is one of the most powerful places in Linfeng Mansion, and it is still hundreds of meters away from the small building, so Xiao Yu confessed his guilt and did not dare to approach again.
The two walked towards the small building, it was very quiet all the way, there was no bird call, the silence was a little weird, and what was even stranger was that they walked all the way to the small building, and they didn't even see anyone in the middle, and there was no guard at the door, just like an old mansion that had long been abandoned.
Since there were no guards, Lang Qi looked around the door casually for a while, and there was no staff on duty, looking from the outside to the inside, it was pitch black, and he was not even sure if there was anyone in this room.
If it weren't for Xiao Yu walking away in fear, no one would have come to the Fengce Mansion, the power agency in Linfeng, the ancient mansion that looked abandoned, but the more so, the more curious the mystery of the Fengce Mansion became.
Putting aside their doubts, the two walked slowly, and after stepping into the small building, they slowly adapted to this darkness, only to find out in the dim light that there was a huge screen in front of them, so big that it blocked all the sight inside, and they didn't know what material this thing was made of, and the light-absorbing effect was really strong, because after turning the screen, they saw the candles lit inside.
The empty room, no one else, and the candles lit in the daytime, always have an eerie feeling.
It's not strange, it's self-defeating.
If someone really wanted to harm him, as they were civilians, there was no need to be so troublesome, so, it was certain that at least this place was safe for them for now, so he continued to walk directly, and after passing through the lobby, he always saw the imaginary Fengce Mansion.
What appeared in front of me was a large dense screen, which looked like the material at the door, behind each screen there was a set of tables and chairs, and there were people sitting in the position, some were fiddling with something, some were reading, some were writing, but they were all very focused and quiet, and their arrival did not attract their attention at all.
Lang Qi walked up to a scholar who looked kind-looking, and said politely: "May I ask sir, where is Liu Langzhong?" ”
The man didn't seem to hear it at all, he didn't pay attention to him at all, he looked at the book by himself, and Lang Qi was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and had to ask someone else, but if he looked closely, these people seemed to be about the same, if there was really a warm person, he would have come over when he asked just now, and it seems that the people who asked here were also asking in vain.
Thinking that since Liu Langzhong is the main person here, then his room should go inside, it is better to go over and look for it yourself, but after entering, he found that it was full of rows of small rooms, and there was not even a sign at the door, not to mention whose room it was, and he was not even sure if it was an office.
Just when Lang Qi was thinking about whether to knock on a few doors, the door of one of the houses suddenly opened, and a young woman walked out of it. ”
Call! Lang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally met a person who could speak, he hurriedly stepped forward, "No, no, no, we are the city lord who has just appointed the walker, dare to ask Miss, where is Liu Langzhong?" ”
The man raised his eyebrows and said something inexplicable, "It's all the same." ”
Then he turned and walked away, leaving a message, "Follow me!" ”
The two listened inexplicably, Xuan Tiancheng was just about to speak, Lang Qi suddenly pulled him, and then followed behind the man, Xuan Tiancheng hurriedly followed closely, but he didn't expect the woman to suddenly say again, "You can't make small moves in Tiance Mansion." ”
Lang Qi was taken aback, she obviously meant that she pulled Xuan Tiancheng just now, there are no eyes behind people, how did she know, so keen perception!
