During normal official business, guests would always go through the front door, and only close personal friends or younger members of the family would enter through the back door. Hundreds of years later, the trend of greed and sycophancy became widespread, and the term "back door" came from this.
The guest who alerted the host and went to the front door to greet him was a distinguished guest of the family. Therefore, Wang Junlin specially asked to see him with the courtesy of a junior, but his host arranged to greet him at the front door.
Wang Junlin deliberately walked through the back door, and specifically asked Shen Guang to keep his posture very low, and also gave money to bribe the servants, just to test and observe Xiao Mohe from these details. From the changes in expressions and hurried steps before and after the servant came back, especially the change from the back door to the front door, it can be seen that Xiao Mohe still attaches great importance to Chen Danying, a saint, and thus he also showed great respect for their group of people. enough respect.
Wang Junlin didn't understand these rules when he first came to this era three years ago. When he visited Pei Shiju once, the latter told him carefully. From then on, Wang Junlin remembered them firmly.
Wang Junlin and his party walked to the front office of General Xiao's mansion. The main entrance of the front office was also wide open, but it was where Xiao Maha handled official business, not a place where the host's family welcomed guests. Wang Junlin and his party passed by the main entrance and walked forward again. After walking a few steps, he stopped at the side door in front.
The front side door for VIPs to enter and exit had already been opened by the servants. Several neatly dressed male servants held long brooms and symbolically "swept" a path in front of the door. Xiao Mohe greeted him with a smile and walked to the door. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu stood in front of Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu as they got out of the carriage, their eyes like daggers, sizing them up non-stop.
Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu looked calm. Wang Junlin took the initiative to put his hands on his heart, hugged his chest, bowed and said: "Xiao Hongshi, the younger member of the clan, brought his wife to pay homage to the third grandfather."
"Hahaha... Hong Shi has worked hard all the way. Come into the house quickly. I have arranged for someone to prepare bath soup and delicious food to help you wash away the dust." Xiao Mohe glanced at Wang Junlin and his entourage, and then took a deep look. He glanced at Wang Junlin and said with a smile, but he was a little disappointed. He thought that the Saint would send him experts, but he didn't expect that it was just a young boy and a girl. However, it looked like the six guards were not weak, and they were all in the stagnation stage. The strength is more or less a big help.
"Thank you so much, Third Grandfather." Wang Junlin greeted the younger generation.
Xiao Mohe accepted it calmly and led everyone into the house. He saw an old man about fifty years old, with a three-foot-long beard and an elegant temperament walking over.
"This is Elder Wang from our Nanhua Association, and this little brother is the envoy sent by the Holy Lady." Xiao Mohe introduced each other with a smile.
"Junior has met Elder Wang."
Wang Yan just nodded and said nothing.
While Xiao Mohe was more concerned about whether Wang Junlin and his party's force could help them, Wang Kun looked at Wang Junlin and his party with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.
After receiving the wind and washing away the dust, the group of people arrived at a courtyard with a pond in the middle hall and sat down separately for the honored guests. The servants had already prepared a variety of food and wine.
When they came in, Wang Jun looked coldly towards them, and his eyes were full of suspicion, which made Wang Junlin feel a little uneasy and uneasy. After drinking a glass of wine, he said directly: "The saint sent us to help the two elders kill Gao Ying, you can even kill Yang Liang and replace him with two elders. I wonder if the two elders have a plan and how can we help."
Xiao Mohe wanted to say something, but Wang Yan winked at him and said coldly: "You two are so young, how strong can you be? Even your six guards are all in the stagnant stage of strength. Although they can
It helps a little bit, but it’s very limited.”
Wang Junlin felt relieved. He had thought that Wang Yan was doubting their identity, but it turned out that he was just doubting their strength. This can be easily solved.
Wang Junlin glanced around and laughed: "Junior is a rough man. He knows that the two elders doubt our strength. Why don't the two elders send a master out. If he can defeat the junior, the junior and his party are willing to fight for the two elders."
The two elders will be treated as dead men, otherwise the two elders should be asked to give the saintly messenger the respect she deserves."
Xiao Mohe and Wang Kun were stunned. But before they could say anything, a woman at the side door said coquettishly: "Who are you to be so arrogant and dare to come to our Xiao Mansion to act wild?"
Wang Junlin took a closer look, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The woman who spoke was wearing a very elegant black samurai uniform, trimmed with black belts; she wore a red silk smock. When she spoke, she revealed a row of neat white teeth. She was petite and exquisite, and her face had a cold and frosty beauty.
Kong appears lively and charming even in silence. He has a strange temperament that makes people think he is young and beautiful at first glance, but the more he looks at it, the more he is attracted by it.
Wang Junlin suddenly remembered the information he had read about Xiao Mohe before and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Miss Xiao Feng'er. She is indeed peerless in beauty. She deserves to be known as the most beautiful woman in Bingzhou."
Including Nie Xiaoyu and Old Nu Chunqiu, everyone in Wang Junlin's group suddenly heard Xiao Feng'er's name and turned to look at Xiao Feng'er.
Xiao Feng'er has a beautiful appearance, but under the influence of her old father Xiao Mohe, she has been fond of martial arts since she was a child. She considers herself to be a strong martial artist and likes to fight with others. She originally wanted to pretend to be a master guest in the Xiao Mansion to compete with Wang Junlin, but...
She wanted to reveal Wang Junlin's identity with just a few words, but when she saw her father blowing his beard and glaring at her, she knew it would be difficult to do anything in this situation, so she gave Wang Junlin a charming smile, turned around and left.
At this time, an old voice sounded from among the guests behind Xiao Mohe: "I am the iron-faced judge Zheng Shengqiu, so I will reluctantly teach you, an arrogant young man, a lesson."
This person talks in an old-fashioned way, relying on his old age and showing off his old age, which is very annoying to listen to.
Wang Junlin had done enough homework on his way here and knew that Zheng Shengqiu was the number one master under Xiao Mohe and a veteran master in the north. But how could he be afraid of such a person? He sneered: "No nonsense."
He said, if you want to be beaten, come out quickly."
As he spoke, he jumped up from his seat, flipped three times in a row, crossed a space of four to five feet, and landed at the edge of the small pool in the middle of the spacious banquet.
"You're being rude." A loud shout sounded like thunder on the ground at this moment, and then a figure flashed, and Zheng Shengqiu, who claimed to be the Iron-faced Judge, appeared on the field, confronting Wang Junlin across the pool, holding a dragon-headed steel staff.
There is also some momentum.
This iron-faced judge is in his fifties, has a pair of provocative ears, is short in stature, but gives off a strong and solid look. But his gorgeous clothes, pale face, and swollen eyes
A discerning person will know at a glance that this person has been addicted to alcohol and sex for a long time.
