Chapter 123: Extraordinary Treatment
He never felt that his eldest brother Huang Yuanwu was a good temper, in the army or at home, his eldest brother Huang Yuanwu was a character who said the same, and even spoke to himself with majesty, how did he get here......
"Don't worry, the city lord is in good health. The half-hundred-hundred-sergeant smiled, but he didn't look up at Huang Yuanwu, he lowered his head and smiled.
Huang Yuanwu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then please take care of my two horses, and go in now, is it convenient?"
"Convenient and convenient!" The sergeant happily agreed, and said: "This city lord's mansion is originally your place for the little prince, if there is anything inconvenient, please come in quickly." With that, the sergeant hurriedly got out of the way and asked Huang Yuanwu to enter.
Huang Yuanwu nodded, took a step, and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
Only then did the half-hundred-sergeant walk down the steps, stretched out his hand to Emperor Yuchen, and said, "Little brother, hand over the horses to me." ”
Huang Yuchen nodded indifferently, subconsciously handed the reins of the two horses in his hand to the sergeant who was over half a hundred years old, and then hurriedly took a few steps forward to keep up with Huang Yuanwu's pace.
In his heart, the stone was shattered. Before he had time to observe the layout in the city lord's mansion, he followed Huang Yuanwu into the hall. Huang Yuanwu sat directly on the main seat, looked left and right, cold and deserted, and couldn't help sighing.
Huang Yuchen stood behind him, his heart was terrified, but he couldn't speak. At this moment, he has entered the City Lord's Mansion, and his identity is only a deputy general.
"This Rongbao City Lord Xiao Yibo, who is it......" Huang Yuchen couldn't help but ask in his heart, the process of the eldest brother entering the city lord's mansion, he really saw it in his eyes, this is to inspect the subordinate city, it is simply to visit the elder's house, and the uncle who guards the door is so polite.
Huang Yuchen thought of this and looked at Huang Yuanwu's back. The horror and wonder in the heart are half and half.
The two of them stayed in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion so quietly, and no one came out to receive them, not even one to pour water.
"Will ...... General ......" After a while, Huang Yuchen couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to say, "This city lord's mansion ...... It's a bit rude. ”
"Huh. Huang Yuanwu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I've been used to it for a long time, it seems that Senior Xiao is not in the mansion, otherwise he would have come out early." Let's go, go out and look for him. With that, Huang Yuanwu got up and walked out of the front hall directly, and Huang Yuchen followed behind him with a confused expression.
Entering the courtyard from the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Yuchen had the time to take a look at the layout of the City Lord's Mansion.
Between the main hall and the gate, there is a distance, the bluestone pavement is extremely smooth, in front of it, is a screen, extremely simple, the whole body is white, it seems to be carved out of white jade. On the left and right, dotted with flowers and plants, the entire front yard of the city lord's mansion looks simple and atmospheric, but it is very deserted.
Beyond the screen, I saw the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, which was closed at the moment, and the half-hundred-hundred-year-old sergeant was missing from the gatehouse.
Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, went straight to open the gate, and went out. Huang Yuchen followed behind him, still looking confused.
His eldest brother is the eldest son of the East King, and the successor of the next East King, not only under the rule of the East King, but even the entire Qitian Empire, must give him face.
But when I arrived in this Rongbao City, I didn't even have a person to entertain after eating a closed door. From the time I arrived at the city lord's mansion, I only saw the half hundred soldiers and a living person, and now I don't know where to go. This made Huang Yuchen very puzzled.
Out of the City Lord's Mansion, the two brothers walked down the wide street, past the desertion in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and into the lively street.
There are many shops on the left and right, crowds of people, noisy sounds, Huang Yuanwu does not stop, he goes straight forward along the street, without saying a word, Huang Yuchen follows behind, wanting to ask something, but he has not found a chance to speak.
Crossing the street and entering an alley, gradually moving away from the bustling street, it is obviously a lot more deserted, but there are also many shops on the left and right, mostly some snack restaurants.
Seeing that there were many fewer people nearby, Huang Yuchen hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked softly, "General, what does this City Lord's Mansion mean? Why didn't you even have a reception when you arrived, and you still want to go out to find the City Lord yourself?"
"You don't understand. Huang Yuanwu glanced at Huang Yuchen, sighed, and said, "If Senior Xiao is really waiting for me in the City Lord's Mansion, then the matter will be a big deal." ”
"Huh?" Huang Yuchen glared, and he didn't seem to understand a word of what Huang Yuanwu said.
Huang Yuanwu shook his head and continued to walk forward, Huang Yuchen had no choice but to follow behind him. A short walk further on, I came to a remote and humble restaurant, which from the outside looked like a small street shop, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Huang Yuanwu stepped forward, gently pushed open the door of the store, stepped in, Huang Yuchen followed in, only to see that the store was dimly lit, a few broken tables were placed in the hall, an old man with gray hair who was more than half a hundred years old was dozing off on the counter, and on the shelves behind him, there were a few jars of wine sporadically.
"Shopkeeper. Huang Yuanwu walked to the counter and called softly, the old man was obviously startled, and subconsciously said: "You can't take credit anymore! Hurry up and give money!" After saying this, he raised his eyes to look at people, and when he saw Huang Yuanwu and the two in front of him, his face was obviously a little surprised, and he said: "Who are you two?
"Forehead ......" Huang Yuchen was confused, and Huang Yuanwu was full of black lines.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and I could only hear the sound of the shopkeeper's fingers tapping lightly on the counter. Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, not knowing what to say. Huang Yuanwu was embarrassed in his heart, and after a while, he said, "Shopkeeper, have you seen Senior Xiao?"
"Senior Xiao? What Senior Xiao? I haven't seen it, I don't know it, the shop is closed, if you don't come here to pay off the debt, just go out quickly." Saying that, before the two of them could react, the shopkeeper came straight up to catch up with people, only to see him come out of the counter and push Huang Yuanwu when he came up.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen stepped forward, grabbed the wrist of the shopkeeper, and said angrily: "Bold! Do you know who the person in front of you is?"
"Who do I care who he is? What, I can't stop doing your business?" the little old man raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, and he was about to break free from Huang Yuchen's hand, but Huang Yuchen used some strength, and he couldn't break free.
"The person in front of you is the little prince of the Dongwang Mansion today, Huang Yuanwu! When you see the little prince, why don't you hurry up and salute?" Huang Yuchen crossed his eyebrows and said coldly, when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, he held back the fire in his belly, but the City Lord's Mansion was empty, and no one came out to make him angry. I didn't want to go to this remote place, the owner of a small restaurant, I dared to come up and drive the two of them out, the fire in Huang Yuchen's heart was a little uncontrollable, he didn't care about himself, his eldest brother was the young master of Dongfu, and if he didn't give him face, he wouldn't give his father face.
"What? Are you the little prince of Dongfu?" When the shopkeeper heard this, not only was he not shocked as he imagined, but he was pleasantly surprised, and said: "This is very good, you are looking for you, hurry up and settle the account for me! ”
"Uh...... Dare to ask...... "Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, this shop is where Xiao Yibo often comes, and he came here to find Xiao Yibo, but he didn't know this shopkeeper: "When did you come to this shop?"
"I bought this store and have been here for more than half a year. The shopkeeper's eyes were horizontal, and he didn't mean to be afraid at all, and said: "When I put down the store, the city lord told me that as long as I put down this store, someone will naturally pay back all the previous accounts to me, and it is the little prince of Dongfu, since you claim to be the little prince, then pay me back the money you owe me, I don't plan to ask for this store, give me money, and I will leave immediately." ”
Huang Yuanwu sighed softly, and Huang Yuchen continued to look confused.
I don't know if this shopkeeper knows the concept of the young master of Dongfu, maybe in his opinion, the two of them can't be people from Dongwangfu at all.
"How much the city lord owes you, I will pay you now. Huang Yuanwu shook his head, reached into his arms, touched the silver ticket prepared in his arms, and asked.
"A total of three thousand two hundred taels!" The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said, "Counting the meal I ate just now, I don't want a fraction, three thousand two, give it to me now!"
Huang Yuanwu nodded, took out the silver ticket in his arms, counted three thousand two hundred taels, and put it on the counter.
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Huang Yuanwu to really take out the silver ticket, and really gave it to himself, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
Huang Yuchen was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect that just with the bad attitude of this shopkeeper, he could punish crimes in other places, why was the eldest brother not only not angry, but believed the words of the shopkeeper, and actually gave him money. Huang Yuchen subconsciously let go of the hand holding the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was stunned, and stretched out his hand in a daze, grabbing the stack of silver tickets in his hand.
"This ...... Is this for me?" the shopkeeper grabbed the silver ticket in his hand and asked stunned, still a little incredulous.
"Why? Don't you want to? Didn't you say that when I saw the little prince, I had to pay you back. Huang Yuanwu smiled slightly and said softly.
"You ......" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, and he realized that the two soldiers in armor in front of him were only here to find the city lord of Xiao, maybe it was really as they said, the big man in front of him was the young master of Dongfu, the little prince Emperor Yuanwu.
"Oops!" The shopkeeper suddenly sighed, quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't recognize the little prince, please atone for the little prince." ”
Huang Yuchen looked at the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground with disdain, and looked at the eldest brother, only to see Huang Yuanwu smiling, stepped forward to help the shopkeeper, and said softly: "No wonder, no blame, you took over this shop, and you also suffered, is the three thousand two hundred taels of silver enough?"
"Enough, enough. The shopkeeper nodded again and again, but with tears on his face, he said: "Thank you little prince, thank you little prince." ”
"Shopkeeper, you said that City Lord Xiao had just eaten at your place, where are the others now, do you know?" Huang Yuanwu's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of frightening the shopkeeper.
"Yes, yes. The shopkeeper nodded like pounding garlic, and said: "There is a new family in this neighborhood, the main mother is a widow, and the lord of the city will come to this house after eating here every day, and he should still be there at the moment." ”
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he pursed his lips and sighed. When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was taken aback.
"What kind of city lord is this...... If you don't pay the bill when you eat, do you have to kick the widow's door after you eat?"
Hearing this, Huang Yuchen was even more confused, who is this Xiao City Lord......
Huang Yuanwu said a few more words to comfort the shopkeeper, who was flattered and thanked him again and again.
The two of them went out of the hotel, and the shopkeeper stood at the door, bowing again and again. Huang Yuanwu took Huang Yuchen and followed the path guided by the shopkeeper and went straight to the newly moved widow's house.
"General......" Huang Yuchen was really depressed in his heart, he couldn't figure out what the origin of this Xiao City Lord, he could let the eldest brother eat such a big deflated, and he was willing, and couldn't help asking: "What does this mean? Why does this city lord not eat in the city lord's mansion, he has to come to this store, he doesn't give money for eating, and he also specifies that the eldest brother will pay for it, and this shopkeeper actually believes it? Besides, this shop is so simple, what can he eat, can he eat more than 3,000 taels of silver?"
"Hey......" Huang Yuanwu sighed again, since he arrived in this Rongbao City, he had sighed many times, and said helplessly: "The city lord of Xiao and his father are friends who are irreversible, and this person has no rules, it is really common to do such things." ”
