Chapter 41 The trip to the inn
In the past few days, this lieutenant has led thousands of soldiers to guard the city lord's mansion and obeyed the city lord Dong Heng's dispatch at any time.
Although the group was wearing casual clothes, no matter who it was, they knew that it was definitely not ordinary people when they saw the person in charge. Therefore, wherever the group passed, all the pedestrians avoided the distance, and from time to time, people looked at it with curious eyes.
Riding on a horse, Dong Heng looked indifferently at the lively scene of the people coming and going, including literary and martial artists, businessmen, young men and women from aristocratic families, common people, etc. With his indifferent and steady expression without anger, no one knew what he was thinking.
The captain Wang Wei, who was following behind, looked cautious and did not dare to be careless. He was also very cautious in his heart, afraid that he would not do well.
If he didn't have this kind of mentality a few days ago, then a heavy pressure would be pressed on his heart after following Dong Heng.
Facing this new city lord is like facing the most amazing big shot in the world, and a little like a child facing a teacher, making him subconsciously do his best to do his best, not daring to be careless at all, and fearing that he would do something bad.
Sometimes even he feels incredible about this kind of thought, but he still subconsciously does so.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly, Dong Heng pulled the reins, stopped by the horse under his crotch, and looked at an inn next to him.
When Wang Wei saw it, he immediately got off the horse. Soon, Dong Heng took Wang Wei and others to the second floor of the inn with enthusiastic and subconsciously restrained reception from the waiter.
After wiping the tables and chairs clean, Dong Heng sat down alone, Wang Wei stood by, waiting for orders at any time, and the rest of the guards spread two feet away.
Facing several delicious dishes, Dong Heng did not take a look at them or touched a bite, and looked at the sky in the distance through the window.
All the lively scenes of the entire inn immediately became quiet when they approached him, as if they formed two different worlds from other parts of the inn.
"Wang Wei."
After a moment, Dong Heng made a slow voice. His calm voice felt depressing, not the voice of a young man under twenty years old.
"Young Master."
Wang Wei immediately lowered his head slightly and replied.
"I heard that you also came from Lingyun Sect?" Dong Heng's voice was even heavier.
"Yes, my subordinates were not talented at the time and failed to break through to the orifice realm within 30 years, so they came to Congyang City to join the army. It took more than ten years to break through to the orifice realm." Wang Wei nodded and told his experience in one breath. While feeling a little relaxed, he was also a little unwilling.
After all, no one wants to be ordinary, even if it has been polished for many years, he cannot change his ordinaryness.
Dong Heng had no unnecessary expression, as if he was saying a few words casually. He knew that there were many people like Wang Wei in the world.
Although Wang Wei is now a middle-aged man, he is actually already sixty or seventy years old. However, the normal acupoint realm can last at most three hundred years, so it doesn't look obvious.
However, although the life span is so long, under normal circumstances, people like Wang Wei have limited potential, and 99% of them will stay in the acupoint realm forever.
He could feel Wang Wei's unwillingness. It was this unwillingness that made him sit here now, rather than talk about it.
Then, in the blink of an eye, dozens of breaths passed, and Dong Heng did not speak anymore. It seemed that he had just asked unintentionally. Wang Wei felt relieved and didn't have to face Dong Hengshi, who was as heavy and majestic as a mountain, and he was also a little disappointed.
Deep in his heart, he actually hoped that someone would care about him and make him exclaim the depression and unwillingness in his heart, especially the person in front of him was the most powerful Dong Heng, who might also change him.
What a wonderful thing it would be if he could get his care and even change his ordinary life!
Of course, he only dared to think about these things deep down and long for a moment.
Suddenly, Dong Heng, who had become quiet, spoke again: "Have you been married for more than ten years?"
Wang Wei felt warm and excited, and immediately replied: "Go back to the young master, I'm married, and I have a son who is six years old."
"Well, I'll move my family into the City Lord's Mansion tonight. It's convenient for you, so I'll rest assured." Dong Heng nodded slightly and said calmly and domineeringly.
Wang Wei's heart immediately sank. Dong Heng's words made him feel scared. Didn't this directly say that he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to him? This way, let his family move into the city lord's mansion to have a guarantee.
However, although he was afraid and even a little disappointed, he also felt relieved, because this showed that Dong Heng still trusted him and even regarded him as a confidant, otherwise what family members would be mentioned?
Moreover, Dong Heng's direct statement made him feel much better, and he could even understand his approach.
All the thoughts flashed through my mind, and Wang Wei immediately saluted and said, "Subordinate to obey the order."
"Yes." Dong Heng nodded again, expressing satisfaction, but his tone was still plain: "This city lord doesn't like trouble, as long as you are loyal, everything is fine."
"My subordinates must be loyal to the city lord, and they will never refuse to die." Wang Wei's body immediately straightened and he was about to kneel down on one knee to express his loyalty. However, as soon as his body bent down, a terrifying force appeared, which made him unable to kneel down at all.
He forgot about Dong Heng with a shocked look on his face, shocked with his strength and control over his vitality.
Immediately, I found that there was a layer of energy shield around the two of them at some point, and they could not hear their voices outside, so I naturally felt even more awe in my heart.
This strength is definitely much better than that of him, who has opened three acupoints.
Dong Heng turned his gaze without comment and glanced at him. His gaze as deep as the sea hit the hearts, which made Wang Wei shudder and lowered his head.
I didn't care about Wang Wei's reaction, and I didn't even care much about whether he was really loyal to him. After all, no one's loyalty can be obtained in just a short time, which is his affirmation.
His tone was still calm and plain, changed the subject and asked the real purpose of this trip: "You have been in the army for more than ten years. How do you view the 100,000 troops in Congyang City?"
Wang Wei frowned and pondered. After two breaths, his tone became more respectful and said carefully in awe: "Go back to the young master, my 100,000 troops in Congyang City have strict military disciplines and strong combat power, and are definitely not inferior to other deputy cities of Lingyunmen."
"What about Tong Hui, Di Feng and Qin Ming?" Dong Heng asked again.
Wang Wei frowned even deeper, and at the same time he understood something in his heart. This trip must have been deliberately done by the City Lord. After all, the City Lord’s Mansion has many people and eyes. The City Lord has just taken office, so many things are not easy to talk about in the City Lord’s Mansion.
So I brought myself here, not even my confidant guard Dong Li.
However, the city lord asked himself why General Tong and the other three were?
Is it because of dissatisfaction with them?
While wondering, Wang Wei said slowly: "Reply to the young master, General Tong and the other two are strict in governing the army, and they are a good general."
Dong Heng turned his gaze again, looked at Wang Wei deeply, his tone also increased a little, and the air seemed to freeze a little: "Is that all?"
Wang Wei's sweat suddenly emerged, thinking about what was wrong with him. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed and said quickly: "I have always heard in the army that General Tong and General Qin are incompatible, and they often suppress General Qin, while General Di is not helping each other and has a good reputation in the army."
Hearing this, Dong Heng looked away, Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but he began to be shocked. It seemed that the city lord wanted to interfere in the army!
That's why I brought myself here and asked myself.
But it is not necessarily the case. After all, it is normal for the city lord to care about the military situation, right?
He was thinking in his heart, but Dong Heng didn't care. In the past few days, through his observations and some information, he was sure that Wang Wei was not Tong Hui and the other two, and that of anyone, so he had the same team today.
After all, if he wants to intervene in the army, he must have some understanding of it. If he relies on Dong Ming's information, he will naturally be less familiar with Wang Wei, a person who has been in the army for more than ten years.
And if the guards around you cannot conquer them, that would be too stupid.
After thinking for a while, Dong Heng said lightly: "I inform Tong Hui and I will say that this city lord will go to the military camp outside the city tomorrow."
