"Why are you holding an elders' meeting for a foreign elder?" This happened to be heard by Tu Qianqiu, and the old guy immediately laughed.
"Yes, I have never heard of elders from outside being qualified to hold an elders' meeting." Wu Zi also nodded.
"How many elders are there in this city lord's mansion?" Tang Wen couldn't help but ask.
"You think you are very powerful, don't you? You can't find Bei if you give it to an elder. Let me tell you, there are many elders in the City Lord's Mansion. There are probably hundreds of them together." Tu Qianqiu said with a smile.
.
"So many?" Tang Wen was dumbfounded.
"Of course, everyone with some status is an elder.
Of course, the majority of elders from outside the government are not worth anything anyway, so giving you the title of elder will make you happy.
In fact, it's nothing. And there are probably only forty or fifty elders left in the inner palace, and they are still somewhat useful.
Among them, there are only about ten people who are qualified to participate in the Presbyterian Council, such as the deputy city lords, powerful hall masters, etc.
They are the real leaders of the City Lord's Mansion.
For example, if you are the leader of the second medicine hall, it will be different if you are the leader of the first medicine hall.
Mastering the medicinal materials, controlling the patients, and all kinds of interests, he can be regarded as a person.
As for you, the leader of the Second Medicine Hall, you are just a fool." Tu Qianqiu said.
It's none of my business……
Tang Wen was a little speechless.
In the afternoon, Tang Wen arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
I found many luxurious carriages parked outside Xuanwu Palace, and every elder walked out with their nostrils turned upward.
These guys should be considered the top experts in Xuanwu City.
"Are you Tang Wen?" Tang Wen was looking at the Xuanwu Palace when a cold voice came.
When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man looking at himself condescendingly.
The man's eyes are not big and his face is small. However, he is dressed in a luxurious brocade robe and is wearing a pair of dragon leather boots. I definitely don't recognize him.
However, Tang Wen was surprised when he glanced at his sleeves.
This guy's medicine is not low. He is actually a level 14 pharmacist, so he must be in the Juyuan realm.
There were two middle-aged men standing next to them, one tall and the other thin, both dressed in very gorgeous and elegant clothes.
At first glance, he looked like someone with power, but Tang Wen had never seen him before.
"Who is your Excellency?" Seeing that the small-eyed man was a little rude, Tang Wen looked at him calmly and asked.
"Hahaha, you don't even know Master Cui of the Medicine Hall? How did you become the second Master of the Medicine Hall?" the thin man said with a mocking laugh.
"I haven't seen him before, and I really don't know him." Tang Wen replied calmly.
"Boy, you are very stubborn. The third elder asked you something, and you actually answered like this." The tall man next to him laughed.
"I'm sorry, I'm new here and I don't know anyone. Please forgive me." Tang Wen said with a cupped hand.
Unexpectedly, this skinny guy is actually the third elder, a man of absolute strength.
"Be brave, have you ever asked this hall when you recruit the pharmacist?" Hall Master Cui suddenly had a serious face and yelled at Tang Wen.
"The city lord didn't tell me that he wanted to ask you?" Tang Wen asked back. Cui Shigong's face turned red, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "I don't know any rules. I don't think you, the second hall master, need to do it.
Already."
"I was appointed by the city lord. Hall Master Cui, what are you angry about?" At this time, a thick-tongued old man passing by suddenly interrupted.
Tang Wen glanced at the popular little man above him and found that the guy looked at him with contempt.
Did I offend you, and I don’t know you??
"Great Elder." The next moment, Hall Master Cui and the three guys hurriedly bowed in greeting.
I'll go, Great Elder, the second-in-command in the City Lord's Mansion?
"Boy, you are not polite when you see the first elder, do you want to ask for a beating?" The third elder suddenly changed his face and scolded Tang Wen as if he was scolding a subordinate.
"Tang Wen has met the great elder." People were under the eaves and had to lower their heads. Tang Wen could only mean it.
At this time, the palace bells rang.
"Go to the meeting." Hall Master Cui said. The four guys tossed their sleeves and left.
Damn it, I messed with someone, and I got really angry when I came here...
Tang Wen almost got angry. This Xuanwu Domain is really hard to get around.
Elders like these all have higher skills than themselves and can control them all.
As soon as he entered the hall, Cui Shigong and the others were in front. He suddenly turned his head, looked at Tang Wen and shouted loudly, "What are you doing in here?"
Suddenly, everyone looked over.
"Get out! You have no right to come in here." The third elder followed fiercely.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent. Tang Wen discovered that the city lord Dongfang Kongming was already sitting on the main chair, but he did not say anything.
"Come here, throw this kid out." Seeing that Tang Wen wouldn't leave, Hall Master Cui shouted outside. Upon hearing this, the two guards at the door came over.
"It was the city lord who asked me to come to the elders' meeting!" Tang Wen said loudly. Immediately, the guard heard this and quickly stopped.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the empty sky in the west.
"How is this possible? You are a newly-promoted elder of the foreign government, and you haven't even grown your hair yet. The city lord will ask you to come to the elders' meeting. It's a joke. It's a big joke." Cui Shigong said.
"Hahaha, having a meeting with a young boy will make all us elders lose money." The third elder, Wei Xiaolin, opened his mouth wide and was overjoyed.
"What? If something happens, can't the city lord ask him to come over and ask?" Dongfang Kongming's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent again, and many people looked surprised.
"City...why did the city lord ask him to come?" Elder Wei asked.
"Why, do I have to report to you in advance what I do?" Dongfang Kongming looked at the third elder coldly. The guy immediately shrank his neck and smiled, "Of course not, of course not."
"Today's gathering of the Presbyterian Council is just for his sake, so I specially asked him to come over and discuss it with everyone." Dongfang Kongming said.
"City Lord, I don't know what's going on? You actually want to call a kid with a yellow mouth to come over and ask questions?" The First Elder rolled up his sleeves and lifted his robe before sitting down.
"And ask me, aren't you all clamoring to install bathrooms?
Some people even clamored to install some electric lights.
The bathrooms and electric lights are all from Tang Wen. It is said that they come from the distant Xuanming Realm. The city lord has just installed more than a dozen bathrooms in his home.
This time it’s really blowing up, the children are clamoring to install electric lights again, it’s so big.”
Dongfang Kongming shook his head, suddenly sat up straight again, and said, "But the bathroom and the electric light are really useful.
It's bright and clear, and the bathroom doesn't smell at all.
And the jacuzzi is so comfortable...hahaha..."
"Yes, it's very comfortable. I've tried it too." Deputy City Lord Jiang Wei responded immediately.
"Deputy City Lord Jiang's family is also pretending?" the third elder asked casually.
"Not yet, but I have tried it with others." Jiang Wei said.
"That thing is not cheap. Eighteen bathrooms cost me 3,600 high-grade spiritual stones.
I think electric lights are certainly not cheap. So, since you are clamoring to install them, I should call Tang Wen to discuss with everyone.
After all, this is a big expense." Dongfang Kongming said.
"A bathroom costs 200 high-grade spiritual stones? Isn't this a money grab? City Lord, you are being ripped off." Cui Shigong thought he had caught the opportunity and said immediately.
"Yes, 200 high-grade stones can buy a mansion." The third elder nodded.
"You don't have to pretend if you think it's expensive. Elders, let me ask you, where is the Xuanming Realm? How far is it?" Tang Wen asked.
"I've never heard of it. It seems very far away." Jiang Wei shook his head.
"I seem to have heard that there are probably dozens of Xuanwu Territories that are as far away as each other. After all, just one Xuanxi Territory is huge. I heard that the Xuanming Territory is still far away from the Xuanxi Territory."
