249. Department of Rites

Shouchun Tower, brightly lit.

As night falls, the world falls into silence, but here there is indeed a life of revelry, bells ringing, and food.

"Dong dong dong..."

As a knock on the door rang, Jiang Xiaofan stood up and opened the private room. He smiled at the two people outside the door and said, "You two are here."

Ye Hao looked apologetic and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow for cultivation in the Immortal Mansion. Master Chu Heng told us some things, so we were delayed. Xiaofan, I will apologize to you here."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, come in quickly." Jiang Xiaofan said and the two of them welcomed him in.

At this time, Ye Yi was following behind Ye Hao. He was holding a wine jar in his hand and holding it up to his face: "This is the good wine from our family's wine cellar. It is extremely mellow. Tonight we

You won’t come back until you’re drunk!”

"over!"

Ye Hao and Ye Yi walked into the house, saluted Bai Yichen and Long Xi one by one, and after greeting the three brothers, Jiang Xiaofan led them to sit down.

When everyone arrived, the waiter immediately started serving food.

The dishes in the Tianzi private room are completely different from those in the hall downstairs. Here they are all absolutely delicacies, including precious thousand-year-old wild ginseng stewed on fire, rare spiritual herbs stir-fried snow-capped venison, and deep-sea ice crabs.

There are all kinds of poisonous rats under the ground... those that fly in the sky, those that walk on the ground, those that swim in the water, those that burrow in the soil.

The meat of these monster beasts is full of spiritual power. When cooked with various spiritual herbs, it is a great tonic. Paired with a glass of fragrant old wine, there is probably nothing more beautiful in this world than this!

Bai Yichen and Long Xi sat aside and ate the dishes. Compared to these delicacies, they seemed to be more interested in bragging after the six of them finished drinking.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, I heard that even though you are in the Earth Martial Realm, you can even fight against the strong ones in the Tian Martial Realm. We are so envious of you for being so young and promising." Ye Yi stood up and smiled while holding the wine glass.

He said.

"No way, it's all nonsense told by others. If you are so worried, then it's not like God." Jiang Xiaofan waved his hands repeatedly.

Ye Hao reached out and patted Jiang Xiaofan on the shoulder, and said: "Once Bigulin cooperated with you, I knew that you would come to the imperial capital sooner or later, and Xiantian City would not be able to accommodate you."

"No, the boss has made alchemy and weapon refining, and his strength is still strong." Tie Zhui laughed innocently, and ate a pig leg with big mouthfuls.

Ye Yi nodded: "You are so lucky to have Xiaofan join the Royal Guards. If you were snatched away by the Medicine Department or the Weapons Department, it would definitely be a loss for our Royal Guards."

Listening to the overwhelming praise from everyone, Jiang Xiaofan blushed and was a little tipsy, feeling like he was about to float. Although he tried to evade it with his mouth, the little Jiujiu in his heart was written all over his face.



After drinking a jar of wine, the six of them were all drunk at this time. The strong wine in the Ye family was very strong, and all of them were defeated by the power of the wine.

After having had enough wine and food, everyone leaned back on their chairs and chatted about all kinds of things. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"Peng!"

A loud noise came from outside the house, and Jiang Xiaofan frowned slightly. He had already sensed an obvious change in martial energy in the hall downstairs.

Bai Yichen and Long Xi also stopped whispering at this time and looked towards the door.

Jiang Xiaofan stood up tremblingly, pushed open the wooden door, walked to the railing, lowered his head and looked into the hall!

Sure enough, something happened in the hall

Fight!

"Who do you think you are? A mere eighth-grade halberd commander from Dongcheng dares to be so rampant?" A sarcastic voice echoed in the hall.

Jiang Xiaofan looked around and found that this person was a man in his thirties, wearing a navy blue robe, with a token hanging on his waist. He could vaguely tell that he was from the Department of Rites.

"Zhou Wu is just a child. Don't you people in the Department of Etiquette have any humanity at all?"

There was a young man on the ground with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he glared at the people in front of him: "I will definitely seek justice for this matter, even if I have to go to Beijing to face the saint, I will not be afraid!"

"You're just a miscellaneous soldier in Dongcheng, why do you still show your face? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you won't know how much weight you have! Beat me!" As the man shouted loudly, several people around him surrounded the man on the ground.

There was a flurry of punches and kicks.

Feeling the martial energy wrapped around his arms, this circle is full of attacks from strong people in the Earth Martial Realm. If this continues, he will die or be crippled!

In the imperial capital, not only do the officials protect each other, but there are also countless high-ranking officials who have no authority over the king. Chu Heng and Bai Mo, the secretaries of the Royal Forest Guards and the Inner City Military Department, rarely have this happen.

, this situation basically exists.

If no one is killed, this is also a kind of experience. Accumulating experience, turning anger into strength, and constantly strengthening oneself.

Jiang Xiaofan didn't want to get involved in this matter, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore. There were two reasons. Firstly, these people were too cruel. It was obvious that the shopkeeper did not dare to stop him and was about to be beaten to death. Secondly,

He knew the man on the ground, that was Lin Cang!

If Jiang Xiaofan hadn't seen him today, he would have almost forgotten his existence. He was the Lin Cang who made everyone fearful during the martial arts competition between the east and west city barracks.

After Jiang Xiaofan defeated him, he left the barracks and was transferred to the outer city. It turned out that he was to be a halberd commander.

He had a good impression of Lin Cang and Jiang Xiaofan. At least he had a clear distinction between love and hate. Jiang Xiaofan defeated him and did not hesitate to give up his weapons to detoxify him. Jiang Xiaofan only said one sentence to tell him not to continue to rely on his strength in the barracks and not leave a way for Xicheng Barracks to survive. He

The next day I decisively left the Dongcheng Barracks.

For this alone, Jiang Xiaofan admired him very much.

"It seems that you have been hardened by the weight. You still dare to look at me with such disrespectful eyes. Gouge out my eyes and throw them out!" The man pointed at Lin Cang and cursed loudly.

His subordinates were also cruel and actually responded, pulling out a dagger and going to gouge out Lin Cang's eyes. At this time, Jiang Xiaofan had already gone downstairs and shouted: "Stop!"

A loud shout made several people stop. After all, the high-ranking officials were too lazy to care about this matter, while the low-ranking officials did not dare to. Someone was intervening, which they did not expect.

Lin Cang turned his head slightly at this time and looked at Jiang Xiaofan. A complicated look suddenly appeared in his eyes, including shame and unwillingness...

The man looked up and down. This half-grown man in long clothes looked quite unfamiliar. In his impression, there seemed to be no such person in the imperial capital.

"I am the fifth-rank counselor of the Department of Etiquette. No matter who you are, you'd better not interfere in my affairs!" the man yelled angrily.

"Secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, Fifth Rank Councilor? If I remember correctly, you should be Zhao Zhou, who is on a mission to Dongzhou Kingdom. What? You just came back today?" Jiang Xiaofan said in a calm tone, while walking up to Lin Cang, wanting to

To lift it up.

Zhao Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect that the person in front of him actually knew him. Could it be that he was a bureaucrat in the inner city? He was afraid that he had made some omissions.

I specifically thought about the official in my mind and found that I had indeed never seen this person before.

But it didn't matter whether they knew each other or not. Jiang Xiaofan actually helped Lin Cang up in front of him without his consent. It was simply disrespectful to him as a counselor of the Department of Etiquette!

Following the order of the Holy Emperor, he was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Dongzhou. He had been away for about three months. When he returned to the city today, he was bumped into by a group of soldiers. He became furious, broke his legs, and left angrily.

Before even planning to come to Shouchun Tower for dinner, Lin Cang came in a hurry and wanted to seek justice.

In this imperial capital, high officialdom is justice, and power is kingly law!

Then the previous scene appeared. The five people around him were all strong men in the Earth Martial Realm. Lin Cang was nothing to be afraid of.

"You know that I am the counselor of the Department of Rites, but you still dare to help him in front of me? Don't you want to live?" Zhao Zhou shouted loudly.

Jiang Xiaofan ignored him at all, but brought a bench to help Lin Cang sit down, and asked: "How is it? It's not hurt anywhere."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just writing about the flesh wounds." Lin Cang said softly with a weak tone.

Upstairs, Bai Yichen and Long Xi stood by the railing and watched everything that happened in the hall. Long Xi held her pink fist and gritted her teeth: "If you dare to be so cruel to the master, I will take his head off."

After saying that, she was about to go downstairs, but Bai Yichen reached out to hold her and said: "Sister Xi'er, don't go. Xiaofan can handle this matter."

Thinking of the familiar scene at Fulai Inn in Yantian City, Jiang Xiaofan is this kind of person. He hates evil as much as he hates hatred. The more arrogant and domineering a person is, the more Jiang Xiaofan is willing to intervene and uphold justice. This is his nature and there is no other way.

"You are so disrespectful to me, I will teach you a lesson today!" Zhao Zhou was angry, his eyes were red. Even when he was sent as an envoy to Dongzhou Kingdom, his ministers treated him with courtesy, and few people in the city dared to offend him.

For him, not to mention Jiang Xiaofan, a young boy from nowhere!

"Buzz!"

As Zhao Zhou clenched his fists, his martial energy surged instantly, and the pressure of the peak Earth Martial Realm was directly suppressed towards Jiang Xiaofan.

At this time, Jiang Xiaofan was taking out a pill from the porcelain bottle and handing it to Lin Cang. The pressure came over him. Lin Cang's eyes widened and he was about to tell Jiang Xiaofan, but Jiang Xiaofan gave him a look to calm him down.

Yes, he was Jiang Xiaofan's defeated general, and Jiang Xiaofan was an armored guard of the imperial capital. Regardless of the coercion or official pressure, Jiang Xiaofan didn't worry. Why was he so anxious?

A strong pressure fell on Jiang Xiaofan, but the surrounding diners and waiters were not worried about Jiang Xiaofan at all.

Zhao Zhou had been out for three months, and he didn't know anything about what was going on in the city. Jiang Xiaofan had become the Iron-armored Forest Guard more than a month ago, and was personally promoted by the Holy Emperor. Everyone did not dare to speak, but Zhao Zhou and his party were kept in the dark.

The pressure fell, but Jiang Xiaofan was not affected at all. Lin Cang took the elixir and swallowed it, and then the wounds on his body began to recover quickly.

Zhao Zhou frowned when he saw the miraculous effect of this elixir: "Are you from the Royal Medicine Department?"

Seeing that Lin Cang was getting better, Jiang Xiaofan turned to look at Zhao Zhou. He smiled and said: "Royal Medicine Department? I'm not interested, but you, a mere fifth-grade official, actually took action against the armored forest guards. This matter
