Chapter 173: The Lord's Summons
At this time, Lord Lou came over and said, "Two young heroes, welcome to the Ministry of Rites, and get acquainted with each other again, I am Lou Yunxiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Lin Peng frowned and asked, "Lord Lou, aren't we going to see the lord of the country?"
Lou Yunxiao smiled slightly and said, "Lord Ji and I just received an order from the lord to take you to the royal city, as for when the lord will summon you, we don't know very well, before summoning, you should stay here and wait." ”
Lin Peng turned his eyes to look at Ling Ling, the look in Ling Ling's eyes was not good at this moment, he raised his hand and touched her head, Ling Ling's expression instantly softened.
Lou Yunxiao did not bring the two into the main hall, but took the two of them to find a room to settle down, and then he said: "You just rest here first, wait for the lord to summon you, don't run around, this is in the royal city, if something happens, no one can protect you." ”
Lin Peng didn't reply, but when Lou Yunxiao left, he closed the door.
Ling Ling looked at Lin Peng and said, "Brother, don't you think this Lord Lou doesn't seem to be very polite." ”
Lin Peng was silent for a moment, and said: "These people are used to being high, in their eyes, we are just the people of Kasa City, and it is our great honor to be summoned by the lord of the country." ”
Ling Ling shook his head and sneered, and said, "We didn't come here to see their lofty faces......
Lin Peng raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "Your father is still the city lord, let's see when they will summon them for the time being, if they are not summoned before noon tomorrow, we will leave." ”
Ling Ling nodded, and then said, "I, Ling Ling, have never been treated like this since I was a child, and if this country lord is the same, I will demolish his palace." ”
Lin Peng shook his head and smiled and said, "Yes, if you provoke our Ling'er, let him try our Ling'er's strength." ”
Ling Ling nodded and burst out laughing.
Lin Peng didn't speak again, but pondered.
Being seen clearly, this is nothing, these people just usually stay in this royal city for a long time, and gradually have a state of mind of many forces. But, in the final analysis, the fact that they were able to treat them like this may also have something to do with the lord of the country, and if it weren't for the fact that the lord of the country would invite the two of them to talk casually, where would these officials do so. Moreover, when they were in the Xuanfa Academy, they said that they were invited, but when they arrived in this royal city, it became a summons.
Even if it was his own master, this Lou Yunxiao and Lord Naji did not reveal much respect, let alone Lin Peng.
Ling Ling's anger just now, Lin Peng understood it very much, but he felt that it was not necessary, these people who thought that their status was noble, looked down on you, and saw you clearly, you didn't need to prove anything to him, in his opinion, your proof was just like a clown, without any meaning.
For this kind of person, either he will face it head-on, or he will continue to follow his own path, so strong that he will regret it himself, and regret that he treated you like this in the first place.
For the personalities of the two, Ling Ling prefers to face the head-on, this kind of retribution, this kind of direct, crisp. And Lin Peng will choose these two, because he will feel that there are many kinds of persuasion of a person, the first belongs to succumbing to force, and the second belongs to the admiration and persuasion in his heart.
Ling Ling squinted at Lin Peng and asked, "Hey, boy, the lord of the country summoned you, do you have to kneel down and thank you?"
Lin Peng frowned, turned to look at Ling Ling, and said, "Equality for life, I won't kneel to him." ”
Ling Ling pouted and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to let you do then." ”
Lin Peng raised his hand and pinched her face, and said, "He is the lord of the people of Yue Kingdom, what does it matter to me? I came to see him for your father's sake, otherwise, do you think I am willing to come." ”
Ling Ling laughed and said, "Then I have to thank you, Ling City Lord's son-in-law." ”
Lin Peng raised his hand and pinched Ling Ling's nose and said, "Of course, Ling City Lord's daughter." ”
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Two young heroes, please change your palace clothes, and then follow me to see the king." ”
Lin Peng opened the door and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a waiter standing there respectfully holding two palace clothes.
Lin Peng was silent for a moment and said, "It's troublesome." ”
As he spoke, he took the palace clothes and closed the door.
Ling Ling looked at him and asked, "Brother, do you really want to change?"
The corners of Lin Peng's mouth lifted slightly, and said, "I want to change it, but not into this palace clothes." ”
Ling Ling looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
Lin Peng said softly: "Didn't the master give you a purple black robe? ”
Saying that, he put the palace robe in his hand on the table, stretched out his hand, and a white robe appeared, which was just an ordinary robe and the craftsmanship of a tailor in Qiancheng.
After the two of them changed their clothes, they opened the door and walked out.
The waiter saw that the two of them were wearing Xuanyi, and hurriedly said: "Two young heroes, according to the rules, the two should have changed their palace clothes to enter the palace......
Lin Peng waved his hand and said, "This lord, I think the two of us are dressed like this, and I don't break anyone's rules, this is my Daomen Xuanyi." As Daomen disciples, we are already very formal. ”
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, since you have your rules, then so be it, please come with me." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and slowly walked in front.
Lin Peng looked at this waiter and sighed a little, it can be seen that this waiter should be the person next to the lord of the country, but the waiter's attitude is very different from that Lou Yunxiao. It seems that not all the people in this royal city are powerful.
At this time, the waiter said as he walked: "Actually, I have some relationship with the Ling City Lord, many years ago, he saved my life, and after seeing the old man today, I am very relieved." ”
Lin Peng was shocked in his heart, this waiter was so polite, it turned out to be Ling Jianghai's old acquaintance, and he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what position my predecessor has in the palace?"
The attendant was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I am the attendant of the king's side, the attendant who has been purified. ”
Ling Ling hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Brother, what is purification?"
Lin Peng coughed lightly and whispered, "Don't ask nonsense." ”
Ling Ling let out an "um" and obediently returned to his original position and walked slowly.
Lin Peng said respectfully: "Dare to ask the seniors what to call them?"
The waiter replied, "You can call me Grandpa Kang." ”
Lin Peng hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Kang's senior, the kid and Ling'er were polite." ”
Kang Gong said publicly: "You're welcome, in this palace, there are too many hypocrisies and suppressions, and after seeing the old man today, he is so humble, which really makes the miscellaneous family feel gratified." ”
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Peng asked, "Senior Kang, what is the attitude of this king towards the two of us?"
Kang Gonggong was silent for a moment and said: "The attitude is very casual, I summoned you to let you be used as an example and used for recruitment, so to speak, you were used as a tool this time." ”
Ling Ling opened his mouth and said, "Treat us as tools, I think he thinks too much, brother, let's go, don't give him this opportunity to use us." ”
Kang Gonggong hurriedly said: "Don't be, think about the Lord of Lingcheng, if you just leave like this and offend the king, there will be many people in the royal city who will trouble him." ”
Ling Ling looked at Lin Peng, and when he saw Lin Peng nodded, he sighed and walked a little reluctantly.
Seeing that the two did not leave because of the momentary anger, Kang's father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, he did not speak again, but accelerated the pace of travel.
Lin Peng didn't speak again at the moment, pondering as he walked.
This Yue Kingdom is like a terminally ill person, and even this palace, which is the heart of a country, is filled with the smell of power, full of the use of valuable people. Qiancheng, as an important city in this country, was occupied by the Yin-Yang Sect, and all the people became believers, but they turned a blind eye, even if this Qiancheng openly attacked Kasaki, they didn't do anything, such a Yue country, how can the people live at ease. As the key figures in the Kasaki War, they didn't think about asking for any credit, but the lord of the country wanted to use the two of them as an example force for conscription. What a joke.
If there is a problem in the country, but it is not dealt with in time, and there is a bad atmosphere in this royal city, if the other two countries attack at this time, will this Yue country still have the strength to fight?
Lin Peng shook his head and stopped thinking about these things that he couldn't control.
A quarter of an hour later, the two finally came to a magnificent hall, only to see that the hall was golden, tile and vermilion, a golden and brilliant scene. In front of the main hall, dozens of soldiers in red armor and holding long-handled sabers stood in two teams on both sides. The soldier in golden armor held the hilt of the sword in his hand, stood in the middle, and looked straight in the direction where several people were coming, his eyes like torches.
"Father-in-law Kang, why didn't these two change into palace clothes?" the gold-armored soldier began.
Kang Gonggong replied: "Chief Qi guard, that's the case, both of them are disciples of the Daomen, this is the Xuanyi of the Daomen, and it is also their official clothing. ”
The captain of the Naqi guard looked the two of them up and down, and for a moment, he stood sideways.
Seeing this, Gonggong Kang nodded with the chief of the guard, and led the two into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, Lin Peng and the others were stunned, and the hall at this moment was already full of people, wearing court clothes and crowns on one side, and various armors and swords on the other.
In the middle of the depths of the main hall, there is a golden seat with a golden carved dragon, and on the seat, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe and a golden crown on his head sits. It's too far away to see clearly, but it feels majestic.
I saw that the father-in-law of Kang bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Ling Ling, the daughter of Ling Jianghai, the lord of Licheng City, and Lin Peng, the son-in-law, came to meet him on the orders of the king. ”
As he spoke, he slowly stepped to the side.
Lin Peng's face lifted slightly, such an introduction is undoubtedly a posture for the people to meet the lord of the country.
Lin Peng turned his head and glanced at Ling Ling, then turned back, bowed to her at the same time, and said, "Daomen Lin Xiaozi, Ling Ling, meet the king of Yue Kingdom." ”
