Chapter 695: City Lord's Mansion
Ronnie Ridge heard that Adonis still called himself uncle, and his heart was warm, he knew that the current Adonis was no longer the little kid he could pinch and pinch the garden with his hands back then, and his cultivation should be much higher than himself, but he still regarded himself as a junior in front of him, Ronnie Rich was very pleased.
Ronnie Ridge smiled and said, "You kid, you've changed, if you hadn't taken out that token, how would you have made me recognize it?"
Speaking of tokens, Ronnie Rich was a little gloomy affectionately, and said in a sad tone: "I was delayed because of something and couldn't go to Qingyuan Island, but I didn't expect that not only did many brothers die that time, but even your father, alas." β
Adonius smiled faintly and said, "The matter has passed, and the old man's revenge has been avenged, so he will be buried on the island, and if my uncle has time in the future, help me go and see it often." β
Ronnie Ridge remained calm when he saw Adonis say that he was going to his father, knowing that he had almost come out of the pain of losing his loved ones, and he was happy for Adonis, and he couldn't live in the grief of the death of his loved ones for the rest of his life, and he still had to continue to live happily.
In response to Adonis's request and entrustment, Ronnie Ridge nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry about this, even if you don't say I'll go often, I only went there a few days ago, it has been rebuilt, the environment is much better than before, and it is cleaner, and Andulan has sent several people to take care of it." By the way, when are you going, and the few brothers who survived, let's go together. β
Adonis thought for a moment and said, "See, if there's nothing else, we'll go tomorrow." I don't know if you have time? I think you're all pretty busy right now. β
Ronnie Ridge said nonchalantly, "It's fine." Just change shifts with someone else. It's a big deal to treat him to a drink. β
The rice bucket, who was bored listening to the conversation of the two groups, said at this time: "I'll go too, remember to call me when the time comes." β
Adonis nodded heavily, and he knew very well that Bruce, who had sacrificed himself in that battle to save everyone, and Pedi, who was covering his companions, had died in battle. The relationship between him and Rice Bucket and Barlow is no worse than the relationship between himself and his father.
Ronnie Ricci reached out and patted the bucket's sturdy shoulder and said, "We go almost once a month to pay respects to our brothers who died in battle, Bross and Barlow, who are also our brothers. The rice bucket's eyes were a little red, and he nodded heavily, but he didn't say anything more.
The quarrel of Ouyang Feng and the others alarmed the three chief stewards who were busy dealing with things in the castle, and at first, the three people who were buried in the mountains of copywriting were extremely dissatisfied. But hearing that it was actually the voices of the three city lords, the three of them couldn't help but be curious. Who would have the courage to argue with the three city lords in the City Lord's Mansion? So, the three of them walked out of their respective office rooms and went to see what was going on together.
When they came to the gate of the castle, the three chief stewards saw that their city lord was actually arguing with a young man about what kind of ideas and plans, and they couldn't help but become more and more curious about this young man, who was this person? Why were the three city lords so close to him, completely devoid of their usual majesty, just like treating relatives and brothers, and immediately, their minds almost thought of someone at the same time.
Seeing a stranger coming, Ouyang Feng, who was grinning in anger, stopped arguing, looked at Ya Heng in confusion, and asked about the identity of these people. After being introduced, Ouyang Feng knew that the three middle-aged people who didn't look very old were the new chief stewards who had succeeded Anna, Roderick and the betrayer Allen, and these people were all related to Yaheng, Gail and Angelo, and they could be fully trusted. After the amusement and reminiscence of the old argument ended, the group went to a room on the third floor of the castle that resembled a small lounge, which was said to be the place where Yaheng and his family usually rested and discussed important matters.
Everyone sat down, Ronnie Rich and other guards did not come in, but stood outside the door, Ronnie Rich also became the focus of the guards, with a little pride to talk about the misunderstanding with Ouyang Feng and them before, of course, the main thing is how he is witty and improvised.
Ouyang Feng had just sat down, Ya Heng remembered something, and hurriedly asked Ouyang Feng: "By the way, why are you here, what about the others?"
Ouyang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then patted his head and said: "I patronized and talked to you just now, and I forgot all the business, you have to think of a way, everyone else is still queuing up at the east gate." I said yes, it's so troublesome to get into the city, no wonder there are so many people in the city and few people go out. β
Gail smiled bitterly and said: "We can't help it, it's just a few days, and it will be almost the same in a few days, and then all the formalities will be completed, and there will be no need to be so troublesome to enter the city in the future." β
Yaheng's face was a little depressed, and he thought for a while and said, "What can I do about this?" They are all queuing, if they suddenly leave, or cut the queue directly, they will definitely be suspected. β
With the two big masters of Baker and Hawke, Ouyang Feng was not afraid of other forces with bad intentions to chase and kill him, but it was a big deal to pat his ass and leave, and directly teleport to the Holy City, but in that case, he was not, but those forces would definitely send masters to Qingyuan City, and when they left, the mess would have to be cleaned up by Yaheng, although Yaheng and their current cultivation and strength are good, but after all, there is still Pingming of Qingyuan City who needs their protection, if those forces make trouble in the city, for Qingyuan City, especially the current Qingyuan City, they will not be able to bear such a differenceγ
Angelo was stunned and said, "Then what should we do? Just let them wait in line to come in? If nothing else, just those old guys in our family, if they know that we ignore them, we will not be able to eat and leave when we come back." β
Ya Heng pondered for a moment, nodded to himself, and said, "Well, no matter what, how can we do something, even if we can't help, we must show our attitude, otherwise the days of our few stops will be over." β
"Didn't we bring a lot of tin rhinos, and you can send someone over and say that you want to buy those tin rhinos and want to talk to them, so isn't that an excuse to bring them in?"
Yaheng slapped his thigh, laughed and said, "Adonis, when did you kid become so smart, this is a good idea, so do it." β
After speaking, he said to the three chief stewards, "Who will you see to deal with it?"
The three chief stewards were all relatives of Gael, and when they heard that the elders of the family were also queuing at the east gate, the three of them stood up together, said a word, and went out together.
Ouyang Feng saw that Yaheng had no intention of stopping them, and asked in amazement: "Why don't you remind them? Isn't it too solemn for the three of them to go together? Isn't that the three of them going to be here without three hundred taels of silver?"
Adonis asked blankly, "What do you mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Ouyang Feng said angrily: "It's just a stupid B, who buried three hundred gold coins in the wasteland, and was afraid that he would forget to find it, and he was worried that he would be dug up by others, so he set up a sign where the gold coins were buried, which said that there were no three hundred gold coins in this place." β
Adonis blinked his eyes and said puzzledly, "Isn't he lying?" Ouyang Feng slapped his head and was completely speechless.
After listening to Ouyang Feng's story, Yaheng and the three of them roughly understood what he meant, and Gail smiled with confidence and said, "Several of them are very shrewd and will not make such mistakes, don't worry." β
As Gale guessed, although the three archstewards have not been in office for a long time, they have been following Anna for so many years. Roderick and Aven's side of learning, whether it is knowledge or way of doing things, have been perfected, the three of them just briefly discussed, then each went back to change into a burqa, covered their faces with hats, and then took a team of guards from the City Lord's Mansion to the east gate, and a few of them did not come forward, just sent a guard out of the east gate, using the excuse that Adonis came up with, the red clothes, Locke and his party brought them into Qingyuan City and handed over the prepared identification documents to everyone, so that they would not encounter such a thing when they entered and exited the city gate in the future.
Hongshang and the others sat in the carriage, and after entering Qingyuan City, the women in the car kept looking at the scenery of the street through the car window, or the bustling shop, their eyes flashed with small stars, it seemed that if they didn't have any scruples, they would get off the car now and start another crazy big purchase.
Qingfeng, Mingyue, and Alger walked in front of the convoy, separating the slightly crowded passers-by as much as possible, so that the convoy behind them was followed by the Tigers, Monkey and Barlow, and after the convoy was broken, the things on one side of the carriage were stolen. In fact, there are no previous things on the last few carriages, except for some daily necessities, all of them are the things that the little girls purchased in Hengshan City, even if they lose all of them, they are not worth a few dollars.
Qingfeng struggled to separate the passers-by, and said helplessly to Mingyue and Alger: "Why are there so many people, isn't it said that this place is very big?
The three chief stewards who followed them could be condescending to others, but they didn't dare to treat these people, especially the old guys who got into the carriage after entering the city, they didn't dare to offend.
Hearing Qingfeng's slightly complaining words, Yaheng's nephew, the chief steward in charge of household registration, Vic, explained softly: "Recently, the population of Qingyuan City has increased dramatically, and the speed of household registration procedures is not fast enough, you have also seen that it is very troublesome to enter and exit the city gate, so the people who come in don't want to go out, and the people outside are in a hurry to come in, so it has become like this."
