Volume 1 Tongxi Fengyun Chapter 24 The city is shaken, and the prince of the imperial capital has a big plan
On that day, that earth-shattering heavenly fire had already shook the heavens and the earth, and the imperial court forces in the northwest had already rushed to the place where the meteorite landed, and there were even martial arts forces in the background that were also potentially underwater, but all this, Ling Zhi, who was in the City Lord's Mansion, didn't know anything.
"Hurry up, the third prince is going to come to my Tongxi City today, and my city lord's mansion must be fully prepared as a welcoming party, especially in our back kitchen, which is even more sloppy."
At this time, the chief manager of the back kitchen was giving a lecture to dozens of people in the back kitchen, and Lin Hai was among them. After the manager arranged things for the big guys, he let the big guys disperse.
"Xiao Hai, why don't you see Commander Ling now, how has he been with the eldest lady recently" After the chief manager finished speaking, he asked Lin Hai with a smile when he saw him.
Lin Hai couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw the concerned face of the chief manager, but it was still not reflected on his face.
"The boss, it may be that the eldest lady has a lot of important things to do with him, I haven't seen him very much recently, and I don't know what he's been doing recently."
Lin Hai shrugged and said helplessly.
"Xiao Hai, I've always been very optimistic about you," the chief manager said slowly to Lin Hai, and gently put his hand on Lin Hai's shoulder.
"You have to walk around with Ling Zhi, you know, Ling Zhi came out of our back kitchen after all, how can you say that our back kitchen is also his maiden home, what if he is bullied by others on Du Ruoran's side, you say yes?"
Lin Hai almost laughed after hearing the words of the chief manager, and forcibly shook the muscles on his face to hold back the smile, his mother's chief manager, this old boy even said the word "mother's house", Ling Zhi didn't see you look at him when he was here before, and now that you can say this, your skin is thicker than the high wall of the city lord's mansion.
"Okay, the chief manager, you have a heart, I will tell Ling Zhi more about the good of the chief manager" Lin Hai said solemnly, and he had already despised this chief manager to the extreme in his heart.
"Yes, that's right, it's worthy of being the person I like well" The chief manager nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face. Lin Hai and the chief manager are still talking, the current Lin Hai is the number one person in the back kitchen, and even the chief manager has to give him three points, because his good brother Ling Zhi is now the commander of Miss Du Ruoran's escort team, and he is the celebrity next to the eldest lady, and he is extremely hot.
Now Lin Hai lives in the back kitchen, he doesn't have to do any rough work, just count the days and get his salary. Many other housekeepers were asking Lin Hai about Ling Zhi's situation, and many people gave him gifts.
Lin Hai didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, he was thinking, what is Ling Zhi doing these days, he hasn't fed Xiao Hei for many days, he really has no conscience, he really forgot about us in one step, Lin Hai scolded Ling Zhi in his heart.
"Boom"
A gong sounded at the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and Ling Zhi also followed Du Ruoran's escort to the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and took a look, good guy, this welcoming formation couldn't help but calm Ling Zhi.
I saw that the street in front of the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion had been emptied, and on the outermost part was a group of City Lord guards in armor, all holding sharp blades, closely watching everything around them.
Then there was a large guard of honor beating gongs and drums, holding high the banner of the city lord's mansion, fluttering in the wind, surrounded by colorful flower clusters, which were extremely conspicuous.
Two rows of tall and good-looking maids are also slim on both sides, and a group of dancing girls are showing the most gorgeous dancing, a scene of sheng singing and dancing.
There was a bright red carpet on the ground, and it was directly spread from this end of the street to the city lord's mansion, and the city lord Du Haotian and Du Shengtang Du Ruoran and other city lord bloodlines, as well as many backbones of the city lord's mansion, large and small, all stood under the main gate with a solemn face and looked at the other end of the street. And Ling Zhi, as Du Ruoran's person, naturally stands behind Du Ruoran.
This is the first time Ling Zhi has seen it, the entire City Lord's Mansion has been shaken, it seems that this third prince is really noble, Ling Zhi couldn't help but be speechless.
Suddenly, I saw a fierce procession appear on the other side of the street. Black war horses, black battle flags, black armor, every cavalry wears a tiger-shaped mask, equipped with a crossbow sword, every cavalry is full of blood, and his body emits a powerful qi machine.
Ling Zhi's heart sank, this is the Black Wind Cavalry, a strong brigade under the command of the general of the Northwest Army, and has made countless outstanding achievements.
Suddenly, Ling Zhi saw that behind the Black Wind Cavalry, there was a group of warriors dressed in black, there were not many of them, and the eyes of each warrior were like two rays of lightning, but the momentum on their bodies was as if they didn't exist.
After Ling Zhi stepped into the realm of refining the body now, his perception of the aura momentum was several times stronger, what kind of people are these, I can't even perceive its depth, it is extremely mysterious, Ling Zhi was surprised and couldn't help but think suspiciously.
"Are you curious about those black-clothed warriors," Sima Cheng suddenly tilted his head and smiled at Ling Zhi.
"Does Brother Sima know about them," Ling Zhi asked rhetorically.
"Of course, they are the executioners under the famous Zhangwu Hall," Sima Cheng suddenly lowered his voice and said to Ling Zhi, as if he was going to be heard by something.
"If you look at the back of their hand, they will have a short knife dripping with blood tattooed on the back of their hand, which means that each of them has gone through a fierce battle in the corpse mountain and a sea of corpses, and finally will be tattooed with the mark of a bloody blade, and each of them is an executioner who has gone through purgatory."
When Ling Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but look at the backs of the hands of those black-clothed warriors, and sure enough, he saw a blood-red mark and a short knife tattoo.
Behind these black-clothed warriors, there is an extremely tall horse, this horse actually has scales that emit a sharp color, the four hooves seem to be poured by a hundred alchemists, extremely powerful, every foot on the ground makes a shocking sound, and on the saddle sits a young man with an extremely gloomy temperament, he should be the protagonist of today, the third son.
"It turned out to be Jiaolongma," Du Ruoran, who was in front of Ling Zhi, was shocked and said in a low voice. Du Yanran, who was beside Du Ruoran, asked curiously: "What is Jiaolong Horse?"
After listening to Du Ruoran's explanation, Ling Zhi knew that this extraordinary-looking horse was a dragon horse.
It turns out that the dragon horse is a combination of a dragon and a horse. The dragons in the sea are colorful, and some people take advantage of this characteristic of the dragon, and when the moon is full, the selected high-quality mares feel on the beach for the dragons to vent their desires, and then these mares give birth to dragon horses.
These dragon horses have thunderous feet and scales on their bodies, and their horsepower and speed are terrifying, and they can travel 5,000 miles a day. But these dragons are worth a lot of money, so they can only be loved by wealthy families, and ordinary people can only be out of reach.
Ling Zhi watched the team approach the main entrance, and at this time, the city lord Du Haotian led a group of people to greet him directly.
"The third prince came to my city lord's mansion, which is really a great luck for my city lord's mansion, and the contemptible person is Du Haotian, the city lord of Tongxi City, to welcome the third prince."
Du Haotian slowly walked to the third prince's horse, and said happily, behind him were a large group of backbones of the City Lord's Mansion, large and small.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," a smile appeared on the third prince's face, and he flipped down directly from the horse.
"Lord Du is polite, he actually put on such a big battle today, if my father knows, he must talk about me again"
The third prince said with a smile.
"Yes, it's rare for the third prince to come, and I should show the friendship of the landlord a little, come, the third son, please"
So Du Haotian welcomed the third prince into the main gate as he spoke. At this time, Ling Zhi keenly noticed that the team of black warriors led by the third prince immediately dispersed silently to all parts of the City Lord's Mansion after walking in the City Lord's Mansion, as if they had melted into the environment of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, in the hall of the city lord's mansion of Tongxi City, the main hall of the city lord's mansion of Tongxi City, the whole hall is decorated with extraordinary grandeur, and the corners of the wall are not only carved with exquisite patterns, but also carved with fine beast heads lifelike, obviously from the hands of skilled craftsmen.
In the center of the hall is placed a simple atmosphere of the three-legged tripod, on the top of the tripod sits a bronze cast golden retriever, the mouth of the golden retriever is wide open, spit out a wisp of light blue smoke cloud, emitting a faint fragrance to make the whole hall feel relaxed and happy, refreshing, and the spirit is doubled.
The chair in the center of the hall is carefully made of ancient nanmu provided by the southwestern states, exuding a simple and quiet atmosphere.
On the main seat of the hall, the third prince is sitting upright and playing with the black jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, the third prince is dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes, the black jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand seems to be exuding a faint and faint light, and the other position of the main seat is the lord of the city lord's mansion, and below the main seat is the backbone of the city lord's mansion. Ling Zhi also followed Du Ruo and said nothing.
"Third son, this is the top red robe I got from the governor of Dongzhou, son, please"
City Lord Du Haotian said softly to the third prince.
The third prince's face was indifferent, he gently brought the cup to his mouth, sniffed the faint fragrance lightly, and slowly took a sip of the tea in the teacup, without raising his eyelids, and said lazily.
"Ling Zun made great achievements for the development of the territory of the imperial court in the early years, and the first emperor gave your family to inherit as the lord of Tongxi City, plus you have worked hard to govern Tongxi City over the years, and the court has seen it."
The third prince said slowly, his index finger tapping lightly on the table.
"I have received my order today, and I have come here to carry out a major decision decided by the high-level meeting of the Imperial Court."
"What" Du Haotian looked at the third prince in surprise.
Lingxiao Pavilion is the power and decision-making center of imperial affairs in this huge empire in addition to the emperor, and the officials who enter the Lingxiao Pavilion also have a name called the Pavilion Elder, and the important ministers of the court are not necessarily the elders of the Lingxiao Pavilion, but the elders of the Lingxiao Pavilion must be the important ministers of the court. Being able to enter the Ling Xiao Cabinet is the ultimate dream of all the officials of this huge empire, and entering the Ling Xiao Cabinet is a true human minister. All the ministers who can enter the Lingxiao Pavilion are all hot and popular people, which is equivalent to the real extremely human ministers, in this powerful centralized system, one person is above ten thousand.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this major decision is the cornerstone of the imperial court's decision to this hundreds of millions of miles of rivers and mountains for thousands of generations, and it is a major strategy of the Dazhi Dynasty that God indicates that I am a major plan"
A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the third prince. "And this decision will also be implemented from Tongxi City in the northwest, which will also be the beginning of our Dazhi Dynasty's unification of the rivers and lakes."
The third prince's tone was cold, which shocked the hearts of the people below, and Ling Zhi couldn't help but wonder what kind of strategy this was.
"Okay, Third Prince, I heard that you like to collect rare beasts, I don't have anything here that happens to be something you don't have."
Du Haotian smiled at this time.
"Oh, what is it that my third son, Lin Shaodong, doesn't have," the third son, Lin Shaodong, became interested.
