Chapter 15: Lord Shilang arrives

After getting the dagger that was infected, Xu Tian returned to the carriage and sat down.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was no one except the two left and right teams of soldiers who were strictly guarding the city gate.

These soldiers are strictly controlling the entry and exit of personnel. Not to mention the discovery of the condition, they are not allowed to enter the city without any special reasons.

People in the city are not allowed to leave the city unless they find that the epidemic is infected, so as not to infect the outside world.

Fear of death, but when the Minister of War came, the Hangchuan Prefecture and other local bureaucrats had to come out to greet him. However, since all the people Xu Tian accompanied him died and no one went to inform him in advance, no one knew that he had arrived.

Xu Tian has no official power, and even if he has, he cannot investigate the cause of the matter.

Seeing this luxurious carriage coming, the soldiers at the city gate were on guard.

When the carriage approached, an official with a knife on his waist stood up and raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

"Who dares ask who is coming?"

Seeing Xu Tian’s carriage being generous, the official could not grasp the identity of the car owner, and his tone was not as tough as when facing civilians.

Xu Xiangxiang, who was in charge of driving, said in a maid's tone: "In the car is Lord Xu Tianxu, the Minister of War who is about to take over as the vice principal of Tianzun Martial Arts School."

The officers and soldiers were shocked.

The chief also frowned.

There was only one carriage, not a single follower, and the one who drove was a maid.

What about the promised pomp?

He really doesn't believe it if he said this was the Minister of War.

However, the scene in the novel where the little character, the unknown person, was fearless and mindless, offended the protagonist without thinking, did not happen, and the chief asked cautiously: "Is there any certificate?"

The curtain on the car was pulled open, and Xu Tian took out his official seal and imperial edict: "This is my... my official seal and imperial edict."

When the so-called Minister of War was such a handsome young man who had not yet lost his temper, the chief was even more confused.

It seems serious, there are all official seals and imperial edicts, but... Is there such a young minister of the Ministry of War?

He looked younger than my son... The chief was confused. After thinking about it, he returned the seal and imperial edict with both hands, and then bowed conservatively and said, "Please be careful, please don't be impatient. I'll go back and report to the prefect!"

"Go."

Xu Tian put down the curtain of the car again.

It is normal for him to have no show and people to suspect it. It is also the process that should be followed when reporting. He doesn't have to make things difficult for these officers and soldiers.

"Oh, it looks quite like an official, it's quite like that!"

Inside the carriage, Lu Su smiled and joked about Xu Tian.

Xu Tianhui smiled and said, "I haven't eaten pork, have you seen pigs running? I've always watched TV series."

"What is TV orange? Is it delicious?"

Lu Su asked, and his saliva was involuntarily.

Xu Tian: “…”

If you guess correctly, this young lady Lu Su should be a foodie.

No wonder it is so big, it has developed so well, it should be because it has eaten well since childhood.

After a long time, the magistrate, who was big-bellied, rushed over while holding a black hat.

Oh my god, no one came to inform me in advance when the minister came.

When he heard the city-guarding officials describe Xu Tian as a young man, he knew that he was the real Master. He thought that something happened to him was an accident and the people around him disappeared, so he was alone.

The key is that no one dares to pretend to be a court official these days.

Therefore, as soon as he brought all the officials to the carriage, he got out of the carriage from afar, the prefect rushed to the city gate and bowed directly: "Xiaoguan, Hangchuan Prefect Cong Zhongzhi, pay homage to the Minister of the Secretariat!"

The officers and soldiers on both sides knelt on the ground.

Xu Tian cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Cong is exempt from gifts."

"Thank you!" The prefect wiped out the sweat that was leaking from the forehead, which was not known whether it was because of nervousness or because of running too fast, and said, "Sir, I don't know that the lord will arrive today. I have missed the opportunity to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me!"

Xu Tian said: "It's okay."

After all, it was because of my entourage that he had died and no one informed him in advance, so no one could blame him.

What's more, I have delayed a lot of itinerary while traveling on the road, and it is too different from the expected arrival time, so I naturally don't know when he will come.

"Thank you, Lord!" Seeing that the Minister of the Inspector did not make things difficult for him, the prefect Gong Zhongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and a flattering smile appeared on his face full of flesh, and said, "I respectfully ask the Minister of the Inspector to enter the city and move to Tianfeng Tower first. The lower official has prepared wine and food there to welcome the Lord."

"Um."

The carriage slowly drove into the city, and the carriage followed humbly.

There was no one on the empty street. This was not because the prefect specially cleared the road to welcome Xu Tian, ​​but because few people dared to go out.

"That..." Cong Zhongzhi hesitated, "Dare you ask the Minister, why don't you see the entourage?"

Xu Tian said the truth: "I met a group of bandits on the road. They all died heroically in order to protect me."

Cong Zhongzhi's face changed, and his eyes, which were so small that they were almost two slits, suddenly doubled, becoming as thick as two slits: "What happened to you? That Lord, how are you? Nothing happened?"

Xu Tian said: "If you have any worries about Lord Cong, it's okay for me to be aware of this."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, sir." Cong Zhongzhi patted his chest and sighed, and then said angrily, "Where is the bandit? How dare you be so brave and kill the officials of the court? How dare you ask the Minister of the Secretariat where he was robbed? If you are under the jurisdiction of Xiaguan, Xiaguan will definitely punish him severely and will destroy this group of bandits at all costs!"

Xu Tian said: "I have trouble with Lord Cong. We met bandits in Pu County, but this group of bandits has been wiped out by my maid... hiss..........................................................................................."

When talking about the word "maid", Lu Su, who was sitting opposite him, quietly pinched the soft flesh on his waist with his jade hands, and then twisted it hard!

Cong Zhongzhi sighed and said, "Thanks to the Minister of the Secretariat, Hong Fu Qitian..."

Xu Tian asked: "Is the Secretary of State good?"

The name of the Lord Shangshu, the Minister of War Gongsun Hou, who was the principal of Tianzun Martial Arts School, gave Xu Tian the first impression that this name was so strange, why did some people use the word Hou as their name?

Cong Zhongzhi said: "Sir, I am fine for you, Lord Shangshu."

Xu Tian nodded: "I have to visit him first when I look back and wait for him to instruct work."

After all, I have to go to other people to do things, and I have to say hello to show respect for both my feelings and my reasons.

What is human nature?

Cong Zhongzhi smiled and said, "It's so good. Everything depends on the arrangements of the lord."

In the special county town of Hangchuan, the holy land of martial arts, the prefect was not the highest official, because the court's personal secretary of the Ministry of War and the Minister of War were all working on his territory. Although he did not interfere in politics in normal times, he was a senior official and crushed people to death.

As an official with the highest administrative level in the county, he still has to look at his face.

Even a sixteen-year-old boy came, and he, an old man over fifty years old, had to bow down.
