The sky was getting dark, and a carriage stopped in front of the inn. Zhao Hai and Xiang'er walked out of the inn and got on the carriage directly. This carriage was the carriage of the city lord's palace, and they came specifically to pick up Zhao Hai and Xiang'er.
Damn it, after the two of them got on the carriage, the carriage was immediately driven up by the coachman and headed straight towards the city lord's palace.
After a while, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The coachman asked the two of them to get out of the car. A servant led Zhao Hai to the City Lord's Mansion. After a while, the two of them arrived in front of a study room. Yue Tao was standing in front of the study door.
Greeting the two people, Gao Yifeng and Sun Peng stood beside Yue Tao.
Zhao Hai looked at this Yue Tao. This Yue Tao looked to be in his thirties and slightly fat, but his whole person had a shrewd feeling. Now he was standing there with a smile on his face, giving people a
It's a very cordial feeling. Generally speaking, this person gives Zhao Hai a very good feeling.
Yue Tao was also looking at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked very ordinary, without any aura on his body. He gave the impression that he was ordinary, very ordinary. If he had any temperament, it was that of a scholar.
This temperament is very rare. Now Zhao Haizheng is looking at him with a smile on his face, which also makes him feel a sense of intimacy.
However, Yue Tao was also someone who had seen big scenes, so he came to his senses immediately. He laughed loudly at Zhao Hai and said: "Mr. Zhao Hai, you have been here in Blackwater City for a few days. This time
I've been busy with official duties for the past few days, so I haven't been able to meet you. Please forgive me, sir."
When Zhao Hai heard what Yue Tao said, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "There, there, the City Lord is too polite. There are so many things that the City Lord has to do every day, how can they be compared to an idle person like me? It's just these
I'll have a good rest tomorrow, and I won't be afraid of the City Lord's jokes. I was very tired a while ago."
Yue Tao couldn't help laughing when he heard what Zhao Hai said. He knew that what Zhao Hai was talking about was what happened to him at Qingshi collar. He didn't care. He smiled and said: "Sir, it's okay if you don't blame me. Please, sir, we are here."
Let's talk inside." Zhao Hai also smiled and said: "Please, City Lord." After saying that, the two of them walked into the house first, followed by Gao Yifeng, Sun Peng and Xiang'er.
Soon they entered the room. After the guests and hosts were seated, servants immediately brought tea to Zhao Hai and Yue Tao. Sun Peng stood behind Yue Tao, while Gao Yifeng stood near the door.
Er also stood behind Zhao Hai. Sun Peng picked up the tea bowl, asked Zhao Hai to take a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and then said: "Sir, the lord has already agreed to the customs clearance document, and I have also approved it.
Starting tomorrow, sir, you can move around freely in our Blackstone Territory. I'm sorry to have delayed you for so many days."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "There, there, with my current reputation, the Black Stone Territory allows me to enter, and I am already grateful. I still dare to blame you. The city lord is really too polite." Zhao Hai did not.
If you mind talking about the Bluestone Collar, he didn't do anything wrong in that matter, so that's why he said this.
Yue Tao really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would mention that matter directly. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he laughed loudly and said: "Sir, you are joking. What happened with Qingshi Leader is not your fault."
, how can we prevent sir from entering the Black Stone Territory? Sir, you are overly worried."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, clasped his fists at Yue Tao and said: "Thank you City Lord for being fair. I really don't blame you for what happened with the Qingshi Leader. That's all. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. I want to thank you City Lord for hosting a banquet today."
I'm very grateful." Zhao Hai didn't say anything deeply. Anyway, he is in the Black Stone Territory now, and he always talks about the Blue Stone Territory, which is indeed a bit unreasonable, so Zhao Hai can't stop.
said.
Yue Tao looked at Zhao Hai, then smiled slightly and said: "Sir, you are really a cheerful person, and Yue is also a good person. You don't have to be too polite, sir. You are here to travel to the Taoist and martial arts world on behalf of Qingmu."
, it is also an honor for my Black Stone Territory to come here, and of course I will fulfill my duty as a landlord."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and then said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. In the lower reaches of the martial arts world, I just want to find more ways to deal with ghosts. I cannot believe that the Lord of the City is so polite. I will definitely do it while I am in the Black Stone Territory."
Please abide by the laws here in the Blackstone Territory, please rest assured. Of course, if there are any ghost-related matters here in the Blackstone Territory, you can let me solve them. I actually like to solve these things, because only by fighting against ghosts and ghosts more can I
Understand ghosts better and find ways to deal with them once and for all.”
When Yue Tao heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, sir, you are really quick to talk. Well, I won't say anything more. It's getting late, and all the guests have arrived.
We're all here, please, sir." After saying that, he stood up, and Zhao Hai also stood up. They walked out together and went directly to the hall of the city lord's palace, where the banquet was held, and all the other guests also
arrive.
This banquet actually has no meaning. It is just to express an attitude to the outside world. Zhao Hai is welcome in the Blackstone Territory. After all, Yue Tao's identity is not a secret in the Blackstone Territory. He invited Zhao Hai to a banquet in public.
This in itself has sent a very positive signal, and I believe that people here in the Blackstone Territory will understand what this means.
After the banquet, Zhao Hai and Xiang'er returned to the inn. The next day, Zhao Hai and Xiang'er left Blackwater City directly. After all, they had also been delayed in Blackwater City for so many days. It was time to leave. For Zhao Hai
Yue Tao was not surprised by Zhao Hai's departure. Zhao Hai said goodbye to him last night. He had known about it for a long time, but he did not come to see Zhao Hai off. After all, his status was much higher than that of Zhao Hai. In fact,
There is no need to send Zhao Hai off.
However, after Zhao Hai left, Gao Yifeng came to Yue Tao's study, saluted Yue Tao and said: "Master, Zhao Hai has left." Gao Yifeng was not just here to tell Yue Tao the news, he actually also
There was something else he wanted to ask, but he didn't say it.
Yue Tao nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Uncle Gao, I understand." After saying that, when he saw that Gao Yifeng had not left, he couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Gao Yifeng. When he saw Gao Yifeng, he was hesitant to speak.
, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood what Gao Yifeng meant. He couldn't help but smile and said: "What? Uncle Gao is wondering why I didn't mention that matter to Zhao Hai? He seems to be interested in dealing with ghosts.
She seems to be very interested. I should have mentioned that matter at that time, but I didn't, so you feel strange? Right?"
Gao Yifeng nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, young master, I really feel very strange, why didn't you tell Zhao Hai about that matter? Zhao Hai has already said it tomorrow, he just wants to deal with it more
Something related to ghosts, and that matter is indeed related to ghosts, and it is also related to my entire family-in-law, why didn't the young master tell him?"
Yue Tao sighed lightly and said: "It is precisely because this matter concerns my entire Yue family that I did not tell Zhao Hai what kind of person Zhao Hai is. We still don't understand. Let's talk to him now."
Talking about this matter will not do us any good, and this matter must be decided by the eldest brother. He is now the head of the Yue family. If I tell Zhao Hai this matter, it will be equivalent to replacing the Yue family.
A decision was made, which is also very inappropriate."
When Gao Yifeng heard what Yue Tao said, he was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but nodded, and then saluted Yue Tao and said, "Yes, Master, I understand, then I'll go down." Yue Tao nodded.
, then Gao Yifeng turned around and retreated, while Yue Tao turned his head and glanced in the direction outside the city, murmuring: "I hope this matter can be resolved soon." After speaking, he sighed again, and then again
Turn your attention to the document in front of you.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't know this. After leaving Blackwater City, he wandered around in the Black Stone Territory. However, what surprised Zhao Hai was that when he arrived in the cities of the Black Stone Territory, the people in each city had no respect for him.
He was very polite, and the city lords of each city would even personally host banquets to entertain him. Their enthusiasm made Zhao Hai a little confused as to what was going on.
However, he didn't ask any more questions. He just learned about the situation from the side, and finally he understood that the problem was with Yue Tao. Yue Tao turned out to be the biological brother of the head of the Yue family, and Yue Tao personally came to entertain Zhao Hai.
, it would be unreasonable for others not to entertain Zhao Hai, so the city lords in the Blackstone Territory are so enthusiastic.
After Zhao Hai learned about this matter, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that these people entertained him so much because of this. This really surprised him, but he didn't say anything.
If the city lord is willing to entertain him, he can entertain him. If there are any ghost incidents in the city that are not resolved, he will also help, so slowly Zhao Hai's reputation really spreads in the Blackstone Territory.
Before, in the Blackstone Territory, all the rumors were about Zhao Hai's reputation for being tough and easy to kill. However, after this period of time, Zhao Hai's reputation in the Blackstone Territory has really slowly improved, and
Everyone in the Black Stone Territory also knows that Zhao Hai is really good at dealing with ghosts. Many ghosts that are very troublesome have been taken care of by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also discovered one thing in the Black Stone Territory, that is, there seem to be a lot of things about ghosts and ghosts in the Black Stone Territory, more than in other places. Whether it is the Greenwood Territory or the Blue Stone Territory, although there are ghosts and monsters happening there.
, but there are definitely not as many as here in the Black Stone Territory, which makes Zhao Hai a little strange.
And Zhao Hai also discovered one thing, that is, in the Black Stone Territory, there are more Taoist temples than in the Green Wood Territory and the Blue Stone Territory, and there are also more Taoist priests, and the strength of these Taoist priests is very good. This is what is strange about Zhao Hai.
, there are many Taoist temples and Taoist priests, so there should be few ghosts and ghosts, but there are really many ghosts and ghosts here in Black Rock Territory. This is the strangest thing.
