Chapter 242 "Messenger" (1)

The little official in gray carried several official documents in his arms and hurriedly led the messenger from Liuhe Trading House. He skillfully lifted the corners of his robe on his legs and walked deep into the farmland. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Lan, an angel from the Alliance is coming.

We are inspecting the town, Lord Rong Yantuo wants to go with you to greet you!"

Rong Yantuo frowned and stopped on the dry land beside the field to wait. He listened to the shouts of the forest and scanned the wheat field. A large number of mature wheat gathered into a golden sea, and there were already several dark golden roads marked by harvesting, but

Compared to the vastness of the fields, it is almost insignificant.

From among the waist-deep golden wheat ears, a figure dressed no differently from other farmers straightened up and turned around. It was Lan Xi, the mayor of Yilan Town. She was holding a semicircle made of bamboo and wood in her hand.

It was shaped like a basket, and half of the shiny black iron knife was tied to the straight edge of the basket, which was a wheat harvester. She was harvesting wheat with the townspeople.

Hearing the call from her pen clerk, Lan Zhen paused, put down her hammer temporarily, and climbed up the field ridge neatly. There were many messy golden debris on her body, but she didn't care at all, and said straightforwardly: "In

Where to meet?"

Seeing that she had no intention of tidying up her appearance, Rong Yantuo answered patiently: "Here are the three envoys. They have already inspected Hongda City and Jiuruo City. After that, they have to rush to the next city, so there is no need to

It’s too complicated to welcome. Once you receive the messenger, I will take you to the trading house.”

"Yes." Lan Ziyan responded to him briefly and concisely. He just stood there and stretched out his hand. Lin Shengsheng immediately took out the official document from her arms and put it in her hand. Lan Zi pulled out a writing brush from her waist with her left hand and dipped it in her hand.

With the ink in the water bag, she just stood still and began to correct the official documents.

Seeing that her robe was dirty, she didn't even change into official official clothes, she was standing on the edge of the field with trousers tied around her legs and she didn't even wear shoes. It seemed that she was planning to welcome the envoys from the Six Alliances just like this. Rong Yantuo couldn't sit still.

gas.

Rong Yantuo was born in a branch of a cultivating immortal family. It took him more than 120 years to reach the late stage of foundation building. He was able to climb to the top position of the Zhili Trading House of the Six Alliances. In addition to his good thinking and skills, he never made mistakes in dealing with people.

.

He also knew that Lan Zhi had been a farm official in Yilan Town for several generations. Even if he was elected as the mayor, he was still used to doing things personally and never acted like a slick officialdom. Knowing that Lan Zhi was a good official, he faced him

When the envoys from the Six Alliances came, he still had to be careful to give her a few words to avoid being judged as "disrespectful to the Six Alliances" by the envoys.

I heard that the two law enforcement guards who came this time were both law enforcement guards, not to mention that one of them was unidentified. The news secretly came from Jiuruocheng that the two law enforcement guards were taking orders from a third person. I am afraid that this inspection will not be completed.

It's that simple. If the law enforcement guard directly under the Internal Affairs Hall is judged to be disrespectful, the law enforcement guard can directly deprive him of his official position without appealing, or even kill him on the spot.

To survive in the Dayan officialdom, you can disrespect the royal family, but you cannot disrespect the Six Alliances.

Since Lan Zhen took office, she has seized many fields from big landowners and returned them to the slaves. She has also spent money from the government to lend money to the slaves to buy seeds and farm tools. Many big families in the town are dissatisfied with her. If they fan the flames again,

, Rong Yantuo is afraid that Lan Zhen's actions will cause him to get burned.

Knowing that Lan Zhen hated intrigues, Rong Yantuo said tactfully: "I heard that in addition to inspecting our trading houses, the envoys will also help the towns acquire food."

As soon as the food rush came up, Lan Zhen raised her head from the official document. She thought it was just another face-saving job, but she felt disgusted, so she didn't bother to tidy up her appearance: "Really?"

"It is said that the rain will be effective in dividing flowers before, and seeing that the people are not able to harvest food in time, I specially sent patrol envoys to help." Rong Yantuo nodded. The abnormal celestial phenomena caused by the fertilizer disaster caused the wheat fields to sometimes be five or six times a year, and sometimes not.

Not a single grain of rice grows throughout the year. The ripe wheat must be harvested within three days, otherwise it will rot inexplicably.

Ordinary monks cannot take care of this kind of mundane farming work. After all, it is considered a natural cycle. Only the six major alliances can't stand it and consult with the Internal Affairs Hall before sending chartered monks out to help with specific matters.

.

Lan Zhen was worried that if the wheat harvest was not finished, there might be a food shortage in the town. When she found out that the envoys from the Six Alliances were coming to inspect the area, she immediately handed the official document back to Lin Shengsheng.

It's just that the speed of her legs and feet alone might not allow her to go back and change clothes. Just as Rong Yantuo was about to speak, he saw Lan Zhen quickly patting the weeds on her body, twitching her belt, taking off her outer robe and turning it over, revealing a light vermillion color.

The silk fabric was embroidered with vanilla, and she put on a belt. Lin Shengsheng knelt down to help her untie her leggings, and the wide pants and skirts with black dark patterns fell down, covering her feet stained with dried mud.

Then she tied her hair up a little, and within a few breaths, Lan Zhen stood up with his hands folded, wearing a long red robe, and he looked like an elegant civil servant. If Rong Yantuo hadn't stood there without turning his eyes, he would really have doubted what he had just said.

It's not Lan Zhi who still looks like a farmer.

Rong Yantuo smiled slightly and wanted to say something teasingly to Lan Zhi, but when he heard the sound of thunder from far away from the horizon, his face immediately became solemn and he stood facing the chariot with his hands lowered.

Lin Shengsheng, a small town mayor, did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the envoys from the Six Alliances. He stood behind the two men and quietly stuffed the documents into his arms. Lan Zhen did not lower his head, she looked straight.

Looking at the majestic thunder coming from the sky.

Between the sky and the clouds, two thunder beasts were surrounded by blue thunder and lightning. Their four legs were strong and powerful, and they stepped down hard. The air seemed to vibrate and fluctuate with them, and they were extremely handsome.

The bronze chariot pulled behind it is even more dazzling, mysterious and beautiful. On the top of the bronze forged dome is embedded a fist-sized orb. Although the circles of complicated patterns cannot be seen clearly, they exude a light golden color all the time.

The dim light and the thin gauze hanging down from all sides blocked Lan Zhen's sight from looking inside. She had no choice but to look away from the gauze and saw the two monks sitting on the left and right sides of the carriage.

The two turned out to be twins, and it was difficult to tell them apart just by looking at their faces. They had tall black hair, jingling pearls, and wore orange skirts and green belts. A round halo enveloped their figures, and they drove one to the left and the other to the right.

The chariot looks like a goddess recorded in secular records.

Rong Yantuo looked at the faces of the two people in shock. Inspection was a big deal, so the trading houses only dared to talk about trivial matters when disclosing information to each other. He had never heard that the two law enforcement guards who came were Yi Zhi and Lai Mian.

Two sisters!

Yue Zhi Laimian, as the direct descendant of Cankunzi, the head of the Evil-Exorcist Sword Sect, has a more transcendent status than ordinary law enforcement guards. The matters they are in charge of must be big things.

And how prominent and noble should be the identity of the third messenger in the car who can be escorted by these two people? It can't be Nascent Soul, a powerful person in the realm of refining the void, right?

Moreover, just like inside the chariot, it is impossible to detect any aura realm on Yuanzhi Laimian's body. This is a very high inspection standard.

Feeling that this inspection might be unusual, Rong Yantuo urgently recalled something he was already familiar with. He wished he could run back and check it again in person. But the chariot was already in front of him. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists, and

Orchids and trees greeted him with their voices.
