The head of the house, Dong Wei
Since cultivating to the Tengyun Realm, Zhang Miao can be regarded as reborn, a monk who can't fly is not a monk, of course, this is Zhang Miao's self-awareness.
Take a beautiful woman to the mountains and waters... Ah no... Escorting the county lord all the way to the imperial capital.
Along the way, I also saw a lot of Qingzhou's customs and customs, to be honest, there is no particularly big identity gap between the monks of Dachen and mortals, unlike those immortal novels I read in my previous life, and the monks treat mortals as ants and can be killed at will.
Of course, all this is thanks to the existence of the royal family and the Lingyan Pavilion, as we all know, Dachen's incomparably vast territory is divided into eighty-one mansions, how difficult it is to fully grasp these eighty-one mansions, so in addition to the establishment of a set of official government systems for mortals, the empire also has a set of three power institutions that deal with the affairs of cultivators - the City Lord's Mansion, Longshan Wei, and the Sect Elders' Association.
Among them, the city lord's mansion is in charge of military power, and the empire's city defense army is full of low-level monks, if you don't use monks to control monks, how can mortals control them, no matter what world or era, military power is always the most important, so the lord of a mansion is directly appointed by Emperor Chen.
Longshanwei is a kind of "intelligence department" similar to what Zhang Miao knew in his previous life, to put it bluntly, it is the "factory guard" system in this world, Longshanwei is directly under the orders of Emperor Chen's personal secret disk, and the monks who can be selected for Longshanwei are all unique.
The other clan elder association is a group of respected old people elected by the local major sects and families, which is built by them as the backbone, and actually has no rights, but it is also a huge force in the local area, and even in some remote areas, the power of the clan elders is greater than the city lord's mansion.
And the purpose of Zhang Miao and Zhou Lingyan's trip is the city lord's mansion of Qingzhou Mansion, there are hundreds of thousands of miles between Qingzhou and the imperial capital, which has to cross a Yin Mountain, which has many peerless demons in this Yin Mountain, and even some evil cultivation sects are located here.
With the strength of the two of them alone, it is naturally impossible to easily cross this area, and at this time, it is necessary to borrow the power of the City Lord's Mansion, and under the escort of the army, it is much safer.
Of course, although Zhou Lingyan is the county lord, it is impossible to call the army, after all, the county lord has no subordinate relationship with the city lord's mansion, but this is all on the surface.
Secretly, the relationship between the major families and these city lords is intertwined, and they have another way of doing things.
Generally speaking, the Zhou family's face will still be given, especially the pearl of the uncle of the dynasty.
But I also said that this is generally speaking, but there are still unusual, such as the big-bellied and over-wined Gyeongju Mansion Lord in front of him - Dong Wei.
"Smack-"
Under Zhou Lingyan's angry palm, the fine wisteria wood essence woven coffee table was instantly torn apart, and even the set of hard-to-find ice heart jade pots on the table was also shattered, and the best Qizhou orchid tea in the cup was scattered all over the ground, and a faint fragrance was lingering in the entire hall.
"Oh, the Ice Heart Jade Pot of this mansion!" Dong Wei's fat face full of fat instantly turned into a ball, and his soybean-sized eyes looked at the broken jade all over the ground in pain, and wailed.
"Humph!"
Zhou Lingyan didn't care, looked at Dong Wei's heartbroken appearance, and scolded angrily:
"Dong Fatty, what the hell do you mean!"
Dong Wei looked loveless, tremblingly picked up a large piece of jade, and said with a sad face:
"My little aunt and grandmother, alas, this... This is the Ice Heart Jade Pot given by His Majesty, this time it fell to a pulp, this... How is this called this house? Woooooo
That Dong Wei cried out as he spoke, and Zhang Miao on the side could be regarded as having seen it, looked at Dong Wei with a little apology, and pulled the angry Zhou Lingyan and said:
"Lingyan girl, why bother, Dong Mansion Master...."
"Okay, your surname is Zhang, which side are you standing on?Elbow turned outward?" Zhou Lingyan was like an angry lioness, with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Zhang Miao and shouting loudly.
Obediently, this dominatrix has a really violent temper, and turning her face is faster than turning a book.
Can't be provoked!
Master Dong, you ask for more blessings.
Zhang Miao touched her nose in embarrassment, gave Dong Wei a helpless look, and then sneered at Zhou Lingyan and said:
"Miss Lingyan, what are you talking about, this seat is naturally on your side!"
"Then you just shut up for me!" Zhou Lingyan glanced at Zhang Miao fiercely, and then pointed at Dong Weidao:
"The county lord is asking you for the last time, do you agree to send the Guardian Army to escort us!"
This Dong Wei didn't know if he had committed a donkey temper, so he cried out with a handful of snot and tears:
"Grandpa Tai said that wealth and nobility cannot be lewd and mighty cannot be bent! This mansion is unyielding today, what can you do to me!"
"You... You, you!" Zhou Lingyan really didn't expect this fat man to be so good... Uh, I froze for a while.
To tell the truth, if Dong Wei was resolutely unwilling to send the Weifu army to escort the two, Zhou Lingyan would indeed have nothing to do with him even if he was the county lord, and even the Zhou family would not rashly offend the lord of the first mansion.
Just kidding, there are eighty-one mansions in the entire Da Chen, and there are eighty-one mansion masters when they are full, and these mansion masters are actually no different from the princes in their own mansions.
If the Zhou family offends the princes of one side, the Zhou family is naturally unwilling, even if Zhou Lingyan sues Uncle Zhou, the final result will be to settle the matter, and even the Zhou family will lower their posture and send people to give gifts to Dong Wei to apologize.
"Hmph, county lord, my Qingzhou Mansion and your Lingyan Pavilion have no subordinate relationship with your Zhou family, the City Lord's Mansion is only responsible to Your Majesty, what a big deal to mobilize the Weifu army, if there is nothing important, you must have Your Majesty's seal!"
Dong Wei tried his best to straighten his waist, although he was already fat and couldn't find his waist, he still put on a majestic appearance, of course, it was the majesty that Dong Wei thought he had.
Zhang Miao looked at Dong Wei's yawning appearance of a toad, and secretly laughed.
This Dong Mansion Master is really a wonderful person, Dong Wei can become the master of a mansion, his strength is naturally undoubted, at least it is the peak of the integration period, it can be said that his strength must be stronger than Zhou Lingyan, and even Zhang Miao is between them.
In terms of status, the power of the lord of a mansion is so great, compared to a county lord who only has a false name and no real power, I don't know how strong it is.
Give a face, naturally call you the county lord, or give face, hehe, I'm afraid the gate of the city lord's mansion doesn't know where to open!
Dong Weimiao is wonderful, whether it is strength or actual status, it surpasses Zhou Lingyan, but he does not have a domineering appearance.
This undoubtedly made Zhang Miao have a good impression of this fat-bellied mansion master.
Of course, what Zhang Miao didn't know was that in the future, because of this good feeling, he almost lost his life.
