Chapter Eighty-Four: Zhumayi

The lord of the Juma-eup

The heavy snow makes the whole Zhumayi covered in snow, like an ice realm.

And in the northern part of the castle is the manor of the lord of the city... The lord of this place is a descendant of the Xie clan in the northern country, named Xie Fang.

Xie Fang, Yuan He raised filial piety for four years, and served Lu Longsai as a centurion. Yuan He was promoted to commander in the seventh year. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he participated in the Battle of the Northern Plain, and made a great contribution to the battle in which the Eastern and Western Wuhuan people joined forces to invade the Central Plains Dynasty - with only an army of 3,000 people, he penetrated deep into the royal tent of the Eastern Wuhuan, causing the Eastern Wuhuan Lord to lead the army back to help, thus giving the Yan army a breathing time.

After the battle, Duke Yan was knighted personally, and when it was time to choose a suitable territory, Xie Fang resolutely chose the Zhuma Plain, which is located in the northwest of Lulongsai... And here established a fortified city in Mayi to guard the border.

Yan Gong was very moved by this, and authorized Xie Fangling to increase the recruitment limit of 3,000 people. This is why, walking in the land of the garrison, the young man clearly felt that there were many more guards here than in other territories.

"Whoever comes, this place is the private domain of the lord of the city, and leave immediately. A group of patrolling guards saw the young man walking in the field, and the guard officer at the head frowned, walked up to the young man, and said to the young man.

The young man looked down at his tattered clothes and shook his head... Then he took a step back and bowed to the guards.

"I'm not an inconsequential person. He said. "I have come to the lord of the city with something important in mind. ”

The guard looked the young man up and down, then shook his head. "Suspicious person, if you don't leave, then treat it as an assassin. ”

As he spoke, he raised his spear and pointed it at the young man.

"Well, you obviously think I'm a liar. The young man shook his head helplessly, put one hand in his pocket and fumbled, and after a while, he took out a golden seal.

"Look, sir, does this thing represent who I am?" the young man shook the token in his hand at the guard.

The guard officer was suspicious, and motioned for his subordinates to lean over and take the token and hand it to himself... After staring at the young man's badge for a while, the captain of the guard's face changed, hurriedly put away his spear, and gave the young man a standard military salute.

"Yes, this is enough to prove your identity, and I have just offended you, please understand. ”

"It's okay, can you inform the lord of the city for me?" the young man patted the seal on his hand and put it in his pocket.

"Please wait a little longer. The guard leaned over and said a few words to his men... He received the order to trot into the city, apparently to get the middle news.

The young man didn't seem to be in a hurry, he nodded to the guard, and sat down on the floor, not caring whether the dirt on the ground would stain his clothes.

After a while, the guard returned with a message.

The guard officer received the order, so he led the young man to the territory... The mansion of the lord of the city.

After whispering a few words with the steward of the Lord's Mansion, the guard officer left the place.

The steward arranged for the young man to arrange two maidservants... The guests came from afar, and of course the lord of the house should be bathed... Changing clothes and incense is the way of hospitality.

Guests should also accept the kindness of the Lord's family and dress neatly before going to the Lord's house to meet the Lord's family.

The young man finished changing his clothes and was ready to smoke incense, and a small servant in the house came to report... The lord of the city is already waiting in the inner hall.

In this way, young people advocate the omission of incense... I went straight to the inner hall.
