Chapter 869: Protector of the Kingdom
Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu went to the Protector's Mansion together, and along the way, Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu chatted while walking, telling each other's experiences during this time.
Since Ling Xiaoyu broke up with Su Peng, he returned to Zhongzhou, and under the cultivation of his father Ling Chai, he entered the Six Gates, because of Ling Chai's status among the Six Doors, Ling Xiaoyu was promoted quickly and became a deacon of the Zhongzhou Headquarters of the Six Doors.
Don't underestimate that she is just a deacon, in fact, this is a very important position, according to the modern official position, Ling Xiaoyu is probably the director of the separated public security bureau of a district in the capital, and there are only five such deacons in the entire Zhongzhou.
And today, Ling Xiaoyu was entrusted by the Duke of Protector to find Ling Mei'er, the daughter of the Duke of Protector, and happened to meet Su Peng here.
"It turns out that you and the daughter of the protector are childhood friends."
Su Peng listened to Ling Xiaoyu and said to Ling Xiaoyu.
Ling Xiaoyu nodded, she said to Su Peng: "Yes, my father is a little close to the Protector because of his position, and he is considered a subordinate of the Protector, when I was a child, I often followed my father to the Protector's Mansion, when he was still the Hou Ye, Ling Mei'er and I are the same age, so we are very ...... It's just that Ling Mei'er later became a little weird......"
"Oh? What's the blame? ”
Su Peng asked casually, Ling Xiaoyu suddenly blushed, and then said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your situation, Brother Su, you are so powerful, I have heard about your great achievements in the rivers and lakes in Zhongzhou, not only has a great reputation in the martial arts, but also became the master of Liangzhou and Yuzhou, it is really amazing, and my father also appreciates your achievements very much." ”
"It's just a coincidence."
Su Peng smiled slightly when he heard this, it was a coincidence that he embarked on the road of fighting for hegemony, but now listening to Ling Xiaoyu, a lovely girl, say this to herself with a tone of adoration, although Su Peng is not very vain, he still feels very good.
"It's a pity that I have a job now. You can't leave Zhongzhou, otherwise you must go to Brother Su's territory once to see what Brother Su has become of running his place. ”
Ling Xiaoyu said to Su Peng.
"Okay, if you go, I'll meet you."
Su Peng said to Ling Xiaoyu.
Ling Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, and then she sighed and said, "We have arrived at the Protector's Mansion." ”
Su Peng looked ahead, the two of them had already walked far away from Fengyue Street, and the place where they were now was very spacious. But the quiet street, on both sides of this street, are big mansions, and there are basically stone lions at the door, according to the etiquette system, which shows that the residents of this street are all dignitaries.
Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu kept walking inside, and when they came to the end of this street, Ling Xiaoyu stopped in front of a big mansion.
Su Peng took a look at this house, it was very luxurious. Two two-meter-high stone lions sit there in front of the house, the gate is seven or eight meters wide, and there are eight armored guards outside the door, standing across the sword. On both sides of the door, a vermilion plaque hangs above the gate, and there are two small gold lacquer characters in the upper left corner of the plaque, which are the words 'Imperial Gift'. There are four big characters below, on which is written 'Protector's Mansion', and there is a gold lacquer square seal in the lower right corner. There are four ancient characters on it, 'Dawu Emperor Seal'.
Seeing that seal, Su Peng glanced at it twice, the country name of the Wulin Empire is Dawu, and the seal of the Dawu Emperor is the seal used by the martial arts emperors of all dynasties, and the Dawu Emperor used this seal to seal it, which shows that he is in favor of the protector.
Ling Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention, she had been here too many times, and she didn't have any special feelings, she took Su Peng and walked inside.
Seeing Ling Xiaoyu walking inside, the eight guards didn't stop him, Ling Xiaoyu was a regular guest here, and the Protector had already ordered that he didn't need to stop Ling Xiaoyu when he saw him.
However, Su Peng was stopped, and a guard said to Su Peng: "Stay, who are you?" Please inform me of your name! ”
When Su Peng heard this, he hesitated.
Although Ling Xiaoyu was very familiar with this place, it was not Ling Xiaoyu's home after all, and Ling Xiaoyu couldn't bring herself in.
Although Su Peng's martial arts are high, this time he is here to find someone, not to fight, and he can't break through.
He was hesitating now whether to report his real name.
After thinking about it, Su Peng said: "I am Su Peng of Liangzhou, and I ask to see the Protector of the Kingdom." ”
"Liangzhou Su Peng!?"
Listening to Su Peng's self-registration number, the guard was obviously taken aback, he looked Su Peng up and down for a while, and then said seriously: "Mr. Su, please wait, I will go to inform the master." ”
In this person's tone, there were at least seven points more respectful than just now.
Su Peng nodded, he is now on the rivers and lakes, he is not an unknown person, he is already a strong party, and it is normal for this guard to know his name.
This is the prestige of the rivers and lakes, Su Peng can't see the system prompt now, but if you look at the prestige of the rivers and lakes, the current Su Peng has at least dozens of times the prestige of Zhao Qiu at the beginning.
The guards went to tell him, Ling Xiaoyu was by Su Peng's side, Ling Xiaoyu said to Su Peng with some admiration: "Brother Su, you are so powerful, Uncle Protector is famous and arrogant in the emperor, his guards are all soldiers who have fought real wars, and they are usually above the top, I didn't expect to be so respectful to you, Brother Su." ”
Su Peng smiled slightly, respect and honor are never out of thin air, Su Peng's strength also has a matching record, the other party is naturally different from others, the other party is a soldier from the battlefield, and it is not easy to understand the hardships of Su Peng's achievements, so it is easier to understand Su Peng's brilliance and respect Su Peng more.
The two waited at the door for a while, and after a while, the guard and a steward returned.
"The Protector of the Kingdom invites the Su Sacrifice Wine to the main hall, and the Protector Justice is wearing it, and I want to see the Su Sacrifice Wine in person."
The steward who came out said respectfully to Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded, although he mainly came to see Ling Mei'er, but the other party prepared such a thoughtful courtesy, and even the protector himself wore formal clothes and showed that he attached so much importance to himself, Su Peng was embarrassed not to see the other party, anyway, Ling Mei'er was in the Protector's Mansion again, Su Peng saw the master here first, and it was not too late to find Ling Mei'er.
Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu walked towards the house with the steward, the Huguo Mansion was very large, it was a deep mansion with five entrances and five exits, Su Peng and the others walked for a long time before they came to the main hall.
The steward took Su Peng and the others to the door of the main room, and he asked Su Peng and the others to wait for a while, and then entered to report to the Protector by himself.
Su Peng just waited at the door for a long time. Suddenly, I heard a hearty laugh, and I saw a fifty-year-old man wearing a bright yellow official costume walking out of the main hall.
"Is it Liangzhou Su Festival wine? Hahahaha...... I'm in Zhongzhou, I've heard the name of Su sacrificial wine for a long time, I didn't expect you to come to me as a guest, it's really a distinguished guest! ”
The man in the bright yellow robe who walked out of the main hall came out.
Su Peng looked at this person, this person was fifty years old, with a burly and sturdy body, although he was in a high position. But the skin on his face is slightly weathered, his appearance is very good, there is a sense of general majesty, the only thing that has some shortcomings is that this person's eyebrows are hanged, so the expression looks a little sharp, giving people a feeling of excessive arrogance.
But at this time, he had a smile on his face, which was very face-saving to Su Peng.
This person was wearing a bright yellow official uniform. The Great Martial Rite System, at least the second-rank official position and the owner of the title above the marquis at the same time, can wear the Ming Huang official robe, and he is here to greet him. Therefore, there is no doubt that he must be the protector of the country.
Although Xu Yan, the protector of the country, was a little arrogant, he was very enthusiastic in the face of Su Peng today, he walked out and grabbed Su Peng's wrist. He said to him, "Come on, come on, let's talk again." ”
Su Peng smiled and walked into the main hall with Xu Yan, the protector of the country. Ling Xiaoyu also walked in.
The three of them entered the living room, sat down separately, served tea to the next person, and after a few people drank two sips, Xu Yan entered the topic and said to Su Peng: "Isn't Su Saijiu very busy in Liangzhou affairs?" At this time, the world is in turmoil, and strong people are needed everywhere to settle the country, and Su Saijiu is not in Liangzhou to preside over the overall situation, how can he come to Zhongzhou? Is there something wrong with me Xu this time? ”
Su Peng replied when he heard this: "Actually, this time it was the reason for other things, passing by Zhongzhou, I happened to hear that a friend was in Zhongzhou, so I came to take a look, just now I met Xiaoyu on the street, and learned that my friend was a guest in the house, so I came to the Protector's Mansion to disturb me." ”
"Oh? Your friends are in the house? Who is your friend? ”
Hearing this, Xu Yan asked Su Peng.
"Miss Lingmeier, but it's not Ling Ai."
Su Peng said to Xu Yan.
When Xu Yan heard this, a fine light flashed in his eyes.
However, he did not hide it, nodded and said: "That's true, Miss Ling Mei'er is a guest in my mansion, she is living in the back house now, does Su Xijiu want to see her?" ”
"There is a labor to protect the country."
Su Peng said.
Xu Yan nodded and said, "I also happened to meet Miss Ling Mei'er, so let's go together." ”
Su Peng bowed his head, and the Protector also got up, and walked towards the back house with Su Peng Ling Xiaoyu.
Xu Yan is in his own house, and there is also pomp, his relatives follow him in front of him, and Xu Yan and Su Peng Ling Xiaoyu walk together.
The back house of the Protector's Mansion was about to pass through a large garden, and when Su Peng and the others walked to the middle of the garden, suddenly at the other end of the garden, a person who looked like a housekeeper trotted towards this side in a panic.
"Bold! collided with the prince, can you take responsibility? ”
Seeing this person so flustered, the two Xu Yan's personal entourage, who opened the way in front, shouted at the man.
Only then did the man see that it was Xu Yan, the protector of the country, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright.
Xu Yan's expression was a little displeased, he felt that he had lost face in front of Su Peng, and he said to the man gloomily: "Aren't you Lin'er's manager?" Panicked, what it looks like! ”
"Grandpa Guo atons for his sins!"
The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly explained: "The little one is about to go to find Grandpa Guo, and there is a mess in the back house!" ”
"What kind of mess?"
Xu Yan's expression was even more uneasy, and he said to the man.
"Grandpa Guo, Son, he is going to use force against Miss Ling Mei'er, and he is fighting with Ling Mei'er's guards!"
The man said.
Before the words fell, I heard a 'boom' sound, and the wall of the back garden was broken by someone, and someone crashed in from outside the wall...... (To be continued......)
