Chapter 424: Rich and Rival Country
"Investigator?"
"Yes, in fact, I have to complete a very important thing while returning to Yubi this time. Nanfeng said, the expression on his face was a little intriguing, "Because this is a task sent to me directly by the royal family, if I don't solve it, I'm afraid I'll really be in big trouble." ”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts became uneasy, and they always felt that listening to Nanfeng's words, it seemed as if they were about to fall into danger again.
"Of course, there will be no danger this time. You're only here to investigate in the superficial sense, and you don't really have to get involved in anything. Nanfeng looked back at everyone with heavy eyes, and an imperceptible smile flowed on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Junqian combined Nanfeng's words, thought about it carefully, and finally said calmly: "In addition to bringing you to us, what else do you need us to do?"
Nanfeng nodded and said, "Anyway, let's go to the city." ”
Bai Junqian frowned and discussed with everyone for a moment. They decided to let the Huawei Immortals and Tuyao Immortals, as well as Xinheyin and Shangguan Beiling, not participate in this matter, just stay in a safe place, and have a good care.
It's just that Nanfeng disagreed, and looked at everyone: "I sent eight people to investigate this time, counting myself, so there can only be two less of you." ”
The expression on Bai Junqian's face moved slightly, but he didn't notice the joy and sorrow, he glanced at Nanfeng lightly, "Then Shangguan Gongzi and Tuyao Immortals will not be involved in this matter." "The reason why he compromised so easily was that he knew that Nanfeng would never harm Lingxi, and this investigation should not be too dangerous.
The figure immortal looked dull, and said angrily, "Why am I staying?"
Hearing this, Bai Junqian was about to say the reason, but Hua Wei Immortal was the first to say: "We must leave an incarnation realm person between the two people who remain, if something really happens to us, we can take care of it." Shangguan Gongzi injured his heart because of the last injury, and he has not fully recovered, so he is not suitable to participate. ”
Bai Junqian smiled indifferently and said, "That's right. ”
And the Tuyao Immortal, who was watched closely by the Huawei Immortal, had to make a muffled hum to express his compromise.
In the end, the seven people who were determined, plus the south wind, were Tu Yao Immortals and Shangguan Bei Ling, who were not involved in this incident.
Nanfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be delayed." ”
Then the group went to the city, but instead of going directly to the Naxia Palace, they went to Buzhuang, and it seemed that this time it was inevitable to dress up.
After a long time, when everyone came out of the cloth village, it was very different from the previous costume. Each of them was dressed in black and wore a strange mask, and to make it more invisible, they wore a veil hat.
When Lingxi and they came to the palace of the Xia family, they saw a great pomp, a total of five sedan chairs neatly arranged again, and this was headed by the lord of the Xia family, Xiahou Xuan, and then the old lady, the second lady, the third lady, and Charlotte. According to the status, the luxury of this dumpling also varies.
The lord of the Xia family was a middle-aged man in his forties, with black hair, and his appearance was not as old as his age, two sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his sideburns, and his eyes were large and narrow and full of charm.
From head to toe, every piece of clothing or clothing can be seen to be worth a lot.
The lord of the Xia family, who is famous all over the world, his father was originally the prince of the last dynasty, but later withdrew from the court and moved out of Wang Cheng. This is still a relatively nice statement, in fact, it is a rumor that it has been excluded by the royal family and has fallen into such a "down" royal family.
However, their family's cronies and disciples are still all over the imperial city, and under the consolidation of these decades, the power of the scene has also been restored, which is comparable to today's prince, and even surpasses. Moreover, it is said that when he left the court, he took away a considerable amount of wealth, so the four words "rich and rivaling the country" are not a metaphor for the Xia family.
And many of the people who left the palace were also extremely powerful monks.
Although this Xiahoudun is not the eldest son and the youngest son, but among the three sons of the previous lord, he is the smartest and most powerful son, of course, the most important thing is that he is very business-minded.
Lingxi's eyes followed the team.
She was followed by the eldest lady of the Xia family, who was dressed in a water-red dress lined with a moon-white shirt with broken pear blossom petals, covering her face with a veil. Rao is so, her beauty recognition is obvious.
A pair of peach blossom eyes have drunk countless graces, no longer confined to the beauty of the facial features or the longevity of the figure, her beauty is a state of mind, she is unaware, so she can use it without knowing it, she uses it, as if showing an innate talent, do what she wants, and give people a powerful shock.
The limit of beauty is not to possess or appreciate, but to pour, to surrender unconditionally.
The cinnabar mole flickered under her black hair, and the corners of her mouth gently raised upward.
After Lingxi saw it, he thought to himself what kind of peerless lady of the Xia family should have been when she was young, this Xiahou Tang was very blessed.
Behind the eldest lady is the second lady, whose name is very peculiar, named Mei Xiang.
These two ladies are also as their name suggests, their eyebrows and eyes are not exquisite, but they are mixed with a bit of charm, and her daughter Charlotte's appearance is not too distinctive, not a look that can be remembered at a glance, but her style of acting is a sense of extravagance and luxury.
The expensive ring rotates slowly on the finger and shines brightly. Lingxi said secretly: "It's a pity that the heir of this eldest lady is not here, otherwise the appearance of these two ladies will be completely compared." ”
The third lady's appearance is also mediocre, but her faint smile makes people feel calm. It's a pity that there is not even a maid by her side, she is dressed plainly and stands in front of the sedan chair, a little inconspicuous, and seems to be the most unpopular lady.
"Then you guys will come in with me, right?" Although Xiahoudun came out to greet them, his attitude seemed to be very unfriendly, and he must have known the purpose of Bai Junqian and their coming here as investigators.
Then the group began to enter the palace of the Naxia family.
As a declining royal family, the architecture of the Xia family is completely modeled after the palace buildings, the golden palace lining the sky with nowhere to hide, the base layer of the platform progresses, and the steps engraved with intricate patterns are arranged in full swing, extending the sacred majesty of the lord infinitely in their layers, turning the full-time authority into visible visual symbols, abstract but concrete, like a crackling lightning, exploding in every delusional and challenging gaze, giving them invisible pressure.
In order to better reflect the extraordinary reality of the Xia family, the Xia lord has configured special accommodations for many maids, the lowly ones are four people in one room, and the personal maids are two people in one room, such conditions are the only luxury in the five families.
Sure enough, this Xia family is really as rich as the rumors say, but what kind of conspiracy is hidden under such rumors?
