On the branches of the moon and in the sky, sporadic Kongming lanterns have floated.
The night wind blew by, making the leaves on both sides of the path rustle.
Ye Fan was half leaning on the driver, with a piece of grass in his mouth and a riding crop in his left hand. From time to time, he would whip the running unicorn, and he became a second job in another world - a coachman.
After a while, Yan Yaoqing suddenly opened the curtain and walked out.
She stood next to Ye Fan, looking far into the distance, frowning and said: "Can you hurry up? We must arrive at the city lord's mansion before the lantern festival ends, otherwise it will ruin the young lady's important event."
When Ye Fan heard this, he was slightly startled, the city lord's mansion?
What did Liu Chenyan ask Yan Yaoqing and Liu Changlun to do in such a place?
You must know that although the Kingdom of Daxia has come to an end, many lords or nobles of the Kingdom of Daxia are living a very comfortable life in these troubled times because they hold great power.
The lord of Maple Leaf City is the great feudal history of the Great Xia Kingdom. How could he care about a small Liujiazhuang with such a high and powerful position?
Ye Fan was guessing the relationship between this, but Yan Yaoqing lowered his head and looked at him and said angrily: "Did you hear what I said?"
Fatty Liu's fat body was swaying from side to side with the car. This rhythm made him feel deeply sleepy. At this moment, he was in a state of sleep.
Just when he was falling asleep, he suddenly heard Yan Yaoqing yelling angrily, and he was startled. He quickly got up from the carriage, stuck his head out, looked at Yan Yaoqing, and said cautiously: "Are you...are you there? "
Yan Yaoqing rolled his eyes in anger and scolded: "You pig, you only eat and sleep. Go back to the carriage. I will call you when you get there."
When Fatty Liu heard this, he who dared to protest shrank his head and was about to lie back down again when he heard Ye Fan say lightly: "We're already here!"
Yan Yaoqing turned his head and looked around, and saw a very large mansion in front of him. At the gate of the mansion, there were rows of armored guards. He was overjoyed and said, "We're finally here. Fortunately, we didn't miss Miss' important event." .”
The beast cart drove until it was a hundred meters away from the huge house, and then stayed.
Standing on the beast cart and looking towards the huge house, I saw bright lights inside and dense crowds of figures everywhere. It was obvious that some activity was being held in the house, so there were so many people here.
At this time, Yan Yaoqing suddenly said: "Do you still remember what the lady taught you?"
Unexpectedly, although she said this, no one responded to her.
Yan Yaoqing immediately shouted angrily: "Damn fat man, are you deaf?"
Liu Changlun trembled with fright and said tremblingly: "Remember, remember, I will definitely complete the task for the young lady."
Yan Yaoqing sighed and said: "Whether we can establish a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion this time, our Liujiazhuang can only rely on you.
I heard that your grandfather used to be a personal guard under the city lord. Now whether we can enter this house depends entirely on your face."
Liu Changlun lowered his head and murmured: "My grandfather only served as a gang leader under the city lord before. I am afraid that people will not remember that there is such a number one person as my grandfather. Will they really let us in?"
Yan Yaoqing's eyes widened as he angrily rebuked: "Even if the city lord doesn't value your grandfather's face, he will value the reputation of our Liujiazhuang. I brought you here just in case, so you don't have to worry about me.
Today's Daxia Kingdom is in troubled times, and everyone is looking for a backer. If our Liujiazhuang cannot find a strong backer, sooner or later it will be swallowed up to pieces."
Having said this, I remembered that Ye Fan was present. I looked towards him and happened to see Ye Fan looking at the huge house in front of him without saying a word. He seemed to be completely shocked by the huge house.
Seeing this scene, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Even if she heard this secret, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Could it be that a country bumpkin like this could guess that Liujiazhuang was looking for a new backer in order to get out of Daojiabao's control?
Yan Yaoqing didn't think Ye Fan could think of this.
As the beast cart approached, the huge house continued to enlarge in front of their eyes.
Yan Yaoqing said: "Let's all come down! Lead the unicorn forward, lest people misunderstand that we have done something evil!"
After saying that, she jumped out of the beast cart first, followed by Fatty Liu.
Ye Fan touched his nose and had no choice but to jump down and lead the unicorn towards the huge house.
I saw that both sides of the house were already filled with vehicles of all sizes. At a glance, there were probably no less than a few hundred of all kinds of animal vehicles here.
After sweeping past these beast carts, and then looking inside the gate, I saw bright lights and human figures.
What kind of activities are being held in the city lord's mansion that can cause such a commotion? The beast carriages outside can tell that there are at least a thousand people coming to the party.
What makes Ye Fan even more confused is what did Liu Chenyan send Yan Yaoqing and Fatty Liu here to do?
Do you really just want to pave the way through Fatty Liu's relationship and find this city lord to be the backer of Liu Family Village?
This is obviously impossible. Let's not talk about whether people think highly of Liujiazhuang, a small local power. Let's just say that Daojiabao is not that easy to provoke.
Although the city lord of Maple Leaf City is powerful, Daojiabao is also a two-star power in the Kingdom of Daxia, and its strength is no less than that of Maple Leaf City...
For the sake of a small Liujiazhuang and Daojiabao, I believe that as long as the lord of Maple Leaf City had a little bit of brains, he would not do such a stupid thing.
Since it is impossible for the city lord of Maple Leaf City to become the backer of Liujiazhuang, why does Liu Chenyan send people to participate in the activities held in this mansion?
What kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd?
The three of them led the beast cart and slowly approached the huge house.
Several soldiers wearing black armor and swords hanging on their waists immediately came forward. They very politely guided Ye Fan, a poor driver, to park the beast cart under a small tree.
At this time, Yan Yaoqing looked at Ye Fan, who was tying the reins, and said in a commanding tone: "You stay here and wait for us, don't go away without authorization!"
Ye Fan felt angry and amused by her condescending attitude, and said lightly: "I don't have time to wait for you, I still have a lot of things to do."
Yan Yaoqing stared at her beautiful eyes and was about to burst into anger, but she suddenly rolled her eyes and suppressed her anger and said: "Okay, let you, a country bumpkin, see the real big scene. You can go in with us!"
Ye Fan smiled slightly and shrugged, noncommittal.
At this time, a soldier leading the team came up and said: "I'm sorry, everyone. Before entering the mansion, your weapons must be handed over to us for safekeeping. After the banquet, someone will deliver them to you.
Please forgive me."
Yan Yaoqing frowned, hesitated, and then took off the long sword from his body and placed it in the hands of the black-armored warrior. Liu Changlun also took off the long sword from his waist very wisely.
Ye Fan had nothing on him, so he naturally did not need to go through such a procedure. He stood behind Yan Yaoqing, his eyes half-squinted, looking slightly dazed.
The black-armored warrior took the long sword from the hands of Yan Yaoqing and Fatty Liu, and immediately saluted with his fists: "I don't know where you are from, but I am Han Xiaotian, one of the four great ceremony officers in Maple Leaf City. I am responsible for welcoming guests."
responsibility."
Yan Yaoqing pretended to have heard of the famous name for a long time, and said with a smile on his face: "I have admired Master Han's reputation for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was indeed very powerful.
I am Yan Yaoqing, he is Liu Changlun, and we come from Liujiazhuang in Heilang Mountain."
Han Xiaotian was slightly startled, obviously not knowing what kind of place Heilang Mountain was, let alone how powerful Liujiazhuang in Heilang Mountain was.
But after all, he was a man who had been rolling on the tip of a knife all year round. After clasping his hands and saying goodbye for a long time, his eyes naturally turned to Ye Fan.
But at this time, Ye Fan squinted his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of sleep, and he looked exhausted, as if driving all the way was too hard.
Yan Yaoqing was also a quick-thinking woman. When she saw Han Xiaotian's puzzled expression, she immediately explained: "He is just a long-term worker in Liujiazhuang, used to drive cars."
When Han Xiaotian heard this, he was slightly startled, as if he didn't believe that a person like Ye Fan was just a long-term worker in Liujiazhuang.
You must know that Ye Fan's physical strength can almost crush ordinary celestial beings to death.
Although the heavenly power is restrained, there is no flaw in it.
But Han Xiaotian is also a battle-hardened body refiner. People like them are naturally sensitive to the same kind of aura.
So even though Ye Fan tried his best to control his aura, how could a person like Han Xiaotian, who had been in Changsha for a long time, not feel something extraordinary about him.
But seeing that Ye Fan didn't say anything, it was naturally hard for him to ask further.
Thinking of this, Han Xiaotian stretched out his hand and a soldier came over.
Han Xiaotian pointed at Yan Yaoqing and his group and said, "Take these distinguished guests to sit in the outer courtyard. Don't neglect these distinguished guests!"
When Yan Yaoqing heard that Han Xiaotian was so polite to his group, he really thought that Liujiazhuang's reputation was so great that he and his group were taken seriously.
At that moment, he glanced at Ye Fan proudly and followed the soldier in.
Ye Fan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. There is an outer courtyard, and naturally there is an inner courtyard. In addition to the outer and inner courtyards, there is also an indoor VIP room.
The guests who come to visit are divided into three classes. VIPs are the most respected, followed by those in the inner courtyard, but the outer courtyard is the lowest class place.
Although Han Xiaotian was polite on the surface, he actually looked down on a small local power like Liujiazhuang with no good grades. He thought that as a Zhengyi Lieutenant, he was also a body refiner at the level of a Heavenly Character Slave.
A person like him is several levels higher than the ordinary local nobles, and the ordinary local nobles have the power of life and death over a local power with no rank or rank like Liujiazhuang.
In this case, how could a person like Han Xiaotian look down on someone from a small Liujiazhuang.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel pity for Yan Yaoqing and Fatty Liu.
In this huge mansion, people with high positions are everywhere. They come here to attend some party, just like beggars leaving the palace, they are afraid of having their self-esteem greatly hurt.
