Without waiting for too long, Wang Liu came out and said to Xia Yu: Mr. Deputy Envoy, please let the three of you in.
Xia Yu nodded and thanked Manager Wang.
Be polite when you go in. Wang Liu kindly reminded him that in addition to the deputy envoy, the chief envoy was also there, as well as the city lord, General Meng, and many other adults.
So many people? They all want to see me? Xia Yu stopped and asked strangely.
Isn't that right? The adults all heard that you are coming today, so they are all here. By the way, General Meng and the others came here early this morning. Xia Yu nodded slightly. People from the Xia Capital Mission live in the City Lord's Mansion. Meng Shixiong should be
I heard Li Yishan say that he was back and came to check on the situation. As for the many adults Wang Liu mentioned, he should be referring to some big shots in Hailuo City. Those people are probably the same as Qiao Xiaopang, who just came to see the heat.
What a fuss. After all, no one knows why Deputy Ambassador Jin wanted to see him and even delayed his trip for him, and everyone is very curious.
Several people followed Wang Liu into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and came to the main hall. This is the tallest building in the City Lord's Mansion. It is decorated with carved beams and painted beams and looks very grand. The adults Wang Liu mentioned are sitting in the hall. Yue Conghai is sitting there.
In the main seat, compared to the last time he escaped on the Yao Shen Festival, his behavior was a little more powerful. This should be the result of him gradually adapting to the status of the city lord. Meng Shixiong sat in the lower seat of Yue Conghai.
Li Yuecong
The sea is very close. This is the position of the general who has total military power in Hailuo Prefecture. Further down, are the officials of Hailuo City.
It can be seen from the seat position of Meng Shixiong that in Xuantian Continent, the generals in charge of military power have a very high status. Although Yue Conghai is the lord of Hailuo City and the nominal highest officer of Hailuo Prefecture, he is only higher than Meng Shixiong.
Half a level above cannot completely control Meng Shixiong. In fact,
That's true. Xia Yu now knows that there is such a rule in Xuantian Continent. In peacetime, the General's Palace is under the leadership of the City Lord's Palace, and the military generals are only responsible for training and guarding tasks. If it is in wartime, the General's Palace will become the leading force in the war.
, if the order from the city lord’s palace
If there is a conflict with the general's palace, the general's orders will have priority. The advantage of this method is that politics and military affairs are separated. The city lord's palace and the general's palace can do their own thing and check each other. At the same time, they accept the jurisdiction of the Xia capital, so there will be no problem.
But now, the sudden disappearance of the core Xia family royal family in Xia Capital is equivalent to the sudden disappearance of the power of third-party suppression and supervision.
However, if there is time, some conflicts will inevitably arise between the City Lord's Mansion and the General's Mansion. As time goes by, this conflict may lead to some changes in the situation. This is the case in Yanli City. Zhou Xinglai's General's Mansion has already
It completely overwhelmed the City Lord's Mansion, creating a situation where the General's Mansion was the dominant family. Although the City Lord was still the nominal leader, he had actually become a puppet. Yue Conghai and Meng Shixiong of Hailuo City have not yet reached that stage.
, but I don’t know what will happen in the future. In the hall, sitting as the guest of honor is a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, dressed as a scribe, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he is the center of the entire hall. However, judging from his identity
In terms of rank, he is indeed the person with the highest status here. Although Yue Conghai is sitting in the main seat, he has no respect for the middle man.
The young people are very polite, polite and even flattering.
Under the middle-aged man, there sat a middle-aged man dressed as a military general with a serious face. Even though he was sitting there, his figure was straight and he looked like a military man. Xia Yu just glanced at it and determined that this person should be
It was deputy envoy Jin who asked to see him.
Entering the hall, Wang Liu stepped forward and reported: Sir, Yu Wenxia and the others are here.
Yue Conghai, who was sitting on the throne, coughed lightly and said pleasantly: Yu Wenxia, I have been looking for you for half a month, and you are finally back. These adults are all from Xiadu. Come quickly to see me.
Speaking of which, on the day of the Medicine God Festival, Yue Conghai also saw Xia Yu from a distance, but he was so flustered at the time and disturbed by his brother's death that he didn't even think of saying hello to Xia Yu and the others. Afterwards, he
Only then did I realize that there were tens of thousands of people at that time
Several heroines from Huamen were with Xia Yu. Yue Conghai regretted it and wanted to hold a banquet to entertain the girls from Wanhuamen, but was rejected. Under Yue Xifeng's instigation, Yue Conghai recorded the account.
On Xia Yu's head, this has always been on his mind.
Root thorn.
It's just that Yue Conghai has just secured his position as city lord and it's inconvenient to touch Xia Yu, a well-known ranger, so he endures it. I think he won't think about this embarrassing incident until his position is secured.
, then he will probably have an idea for Xia Yu.
Unexpectedly, Lord Jin from Xia Capital actually wanted to see Yu Wenxia by name, and did not hesitate to delay his trip. This made Yue Conghai start to murmur in his heart. If Yu Wenxia really has Xia Capital's backers, then he really wants to meet him.
For those who cannot move, not only cannot they move, but they must also try to maintain a good relationship with them.
So today, when Yue Conghai saw Xia Yu, he put on a friendly face and spoke very kindly. People who didn't know the situation might think that he and Xia Yu had a good relationship.
Xia Yu smiled slightly, clasped his fists, and said: Hello, adults. I went out to do errands some time ago, and I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.
Yue Conghai was stunned. Is this considered a courtesy? Isn't this too perfunctory? Oh, by the way, I heard that this Yu Wenxia was just a hunter before. Doesn't he know how to salute? Wang Liu, this bastard, doesn't know how to do it.
Teach him beforehand?
Before Yue Conghai could speak, a man standing behind Xia Duzheng spoke up and shouted: "How brave! You don't kneel down to salute the adults!"
After the man shouted this, the deputy envoy surnamed Jin frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Xia Yu was slightly startled. Since he arrived in Xuantian Continent, he has been wandering around the southwest region.
No one has ever asked the city lord to salute a general like Meng Shixiong. Zhuo Zili, the boss of Yunmen Prefecture, calls him Boss Xia Yu. Although Meng Shixiong is older, he can't talk to him.
He was kind-hearted, and Zhou Hao, Li Yishan and others all called him brothers. Therefore, Xia Yu always thought that Xuantian Continent did not have the custom of kneeling when meeting officials. He did not expect that such an envoy from Xia Capital would need to kneel down.
? Xia Yu looked at the person who was speaking and saw that the person was standing behind the envoy. He was obviously a guard or something like that. He couldn't help but laugh.
