It was only now that Xiao Fei suddenly realized that the young man who came with the village treasure was the person the Master of Military Affairs ordered to arrest! The other soldiers also noticed the tiger baby and quickly lined up to take it.
But Huwa came with the captain of the village treasure. They didn't understand the situation, so they didn't take action rashly, nor did they notify the archers on the tower to be alert.
The eyes of all the sergeants were full of doubts, and they could never let anyone into the city without asking questions. If this young man was really the person ordered by the Master of Military Affairs to arrest, even if it was brought by the village treasure, it would not work, because the military formation could only execute orders.
. Could it be that the captain of the village treasure had caught this person and took him to the city wall to be interrogated by the military advisor? But it didn’t look like it!
The village treasure saw that the Master of Military Affairs had indeed given such an order, and the city guarding sergeant had already recognized Huwa. He quickly opened his arms and took a few steps forward to say something, but he saw the little fat man in front of him suddenly knelt down on one knee.
He bowed his head and saluted: "Greetings to Mr. National Worker!"
Not only Xiao Fei, but also the soldiers on both sides looked shocked. They put down their spears and shields, and they all knelt on one knee and saluted: "Greetings to the National Worker!"
The stunned village treasure looked back and saw that Huwa had taken out a talisman without saying anything. The talisman was silver, with totem patterns engraved on both sides, hanging in the air and slowly rotating.
The engraving on the front of the card is in the shape of a flame, and on the back is the totem mark of the Xiangshi Kingdom, which is the token of "Gonggong of the Country".
The palm-sized talisman cannot be seen clearly if you stand a little further away, but it doesn't matter. The talisman itself is also a magic weapon. Huwa uses the method of wielding the weapon to inspire its unique spiritual function. In mid-air above the talisman
A ball of beating flame appeared. It was more than two feet wide and jumped up to more than three feet high. It was actually made of virtual condensation and burning blazingly. You could feel the heat of the flame even if you were standing ten feet away.
There is also a red totem appearing above the flame, like a circling flying snake, which always maintains a certain shape while dancing, which is the symbol of Xiangshi Kingdom. The flame and the totem can be seen from a long distance.
Be clear.
Huwa not only presented the national worker's token, but also performed the power of a royal weapon, stimulating the unique spiritual function of this token. There is no doubt about his identity as a national worker. Of course, Vice Captain Xiaofei recognized him. He then bowed and saluted, and the rest
After the city guarding sergeant came to his senses, he also bowed and saluted.
There were many residents nearby who were preparing to enter the city. Even if they had not seen this scene, they had heard the legend. Seeing the actions of the city guard sergeants and hearing their words, everyone realized that it was a distinguished national engineering university.
People visit the city walls.
Some people had seen other national workers before, but this was the first time for everyone present to see it with their own eyes. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party leaders presented the tokens so formally. It was indeed as magical and eye-opening as the legend said! Everyone knelt down one after another.
They pointed to the ground to salute, and even the archers on the tower lowered their long bows and saluted on the spot.
The village treasure was stunned. He knew that although Huwa looked young, he was actually a monk with good cultivation. Perhaps he had an extraordinary background and was known as a young gentleman along the way, but he never expected that this young gentleman would actually
Such a big background! The village treasure then realized that everyone around him was saluting Huwa. He was the only one who was still standing stupidly, so he quickly knelt on one knee and said: "Greetings to the National Workers! I'm really sorry. I was still standing there stupidly."
I don’t know your identity.”
Huwa put away the token and said: "This is just an identity, you don't need to salute."
Everyone stood up again, and many residents were no longer in a hurry to enter the city. They gathered nearby to watch curiously and discuss in low voices. This seemingly childish young man actually has the status of a public worker of the country. What is he?
What's the origin, and why did you come to Feihong City?
Huwa was very satisfied and carefully put the sign away. Before he left, the mountain god asked the mountain master to give him the token of the country's Gonggong. He also said that this thing was very useful. Now it seems that it is very useful!
Xiao Fei had already stepped forward and said, "Master National Worker, you come to Feihong City and show your token in public. Do you have any instructions?"
Huwa smiled: "I don't seem to be able to get in if I don't take out the token! Of course I have something to ask the Lord of the City. I'm not familiar with the terrain in this area. I happened to meet the village treasure captain on the road, so I asked him to give it to me.
Lead the way."
Xiao Fei quickly replied: "I have been ordered to guard the city gate and not leave without authorization. I cannot personally escort the national worker to the city lord's mansion. So I will send someone to report to the city lord immediately. You can just let the village treasure captain continue to lead the way." As he spoke, he had already
He ordered a sergeant to rush into the city to report to the city lord.
Then Xiao Fei came close to the village treasure and asked quietly: "What's going on with Master Military Advisor? Why is the appearance of the person we want to arrest the same as this Master of National Worker?"
The village treasure replied: "This is a misunderstanding. The military advisor should have made a mistake about the situation. Let him go to the city lord's mansion later to explain it in person... By the way, there are soldiers from our first team following us.
, I’m afraid we won’t be able to arrive until dark. Tell the sergeants guarding the city gate and ask them to go back to the barracks to rest and wait for orders.”
Huwa walked into Feihong City in front of everyone. This was the first city wall he had entered in his life. At dusk, smoke was rising from many houses, and many people were walking on the road. The city wall was very large.
, the city is bustling with people, and many buildings are old and still stand here after years of repairs. There are many tall and ancient trees in the city, and many families also plant vegetables outside their yards and raise chickens in their yards.
The area close to the city wall is relatively open. The further you go into the city, the denser the buildings are, and the courtyard walls are taller and neater. You can no longer see the small vegetable gardens planted by others on the roadside. The road under your feet is paved with stone slabs, and you can look around when walking along it.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't see the whole city outline clearly. There were shops in the city, as well as military camps and warehouses, as well as residences of civilians and officials. Of course, Huwa couldn't pass them all at once.
There is an ancient feature here, which is similar to other villages. There is a large square in the center of the city, and there is an altar on the square. But there is also a small pavilion built on the altar here, and the altar is not open-air. The city lord's palace is there
Behind the square, there were guards on duty in front of the gate. Seeing Feihong City's City Lord's Mansion, Huwa felt that the courtyard he had built for Master Shan in Lu Village was too shabby.
Lord Hongyuan, the lord of Feihong City, is in his thirties and less than forty years old. He is a distant cousin of the king of the Xiangshi Kingdom. He has the same ancestor and surname, and he can be considered a member of the royal family, so he can be trusted and appointed here.
To govern such a large city, Master Hongyuan may be able to become the city lord of Feihong City, perhaps "thank you" to the gang of bandits.
He took office two years ago. At that time, it was because he failed to pursue the case of the village being massacred. The previous city lord resigned from the monarch and was replaced. The monarch sent Hongyuan. Although Feihong City is not in the strategic border area, its status
It is also very important and valued in Xiangshi Kingdom.
After receiving the news, the Lord of Hongyuan City came out of the mansion and happened to see the village treasure leading a young man. He was slightly surprised. Huwa must be the national worker. He was beyond description young.
Imagine. But he is knowledgeable after all. If you look carefully at this young man, he does have a calm and extraordinary air in his movements. His eyes are clear and his skin is warm. It is obvious that he has good cultivation and restrained essence.
Although Hongyuan himself is not a monk, he has met many masters in the capital, and he still has this kind of discernment. He has secretly guessed that this master of the national work is probably not as young as he looks.
It's just that he has practiced a certain profound secret method, and he appears to be described like this, but judging from his expression, he is definitely not too old, and he should be an important disciple of some important sect.
Hongyuan City Lord did not dare to neglect, he walked down the steps with a smile on his face and saluted: "This young gentleman has already become a co-worker of the country at a young age, which makes this City Lord extremely envious. I am Hongyuan, the Lord of Feihong City, may I ask for your respect?
Name? Welcome here, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you in Feihong City?"
The village treasure had already stepped aside, and Huwa also came over and saluted: "Lord City Lord, after I came out of the mountain, everyone I met always called me little sir. That's what you called me just now, so you can call me that.
!”
The Lord of Hongyuan City was slightly startled again, and secretly thought to himself that this little country worker had such a strong tone and confidence! It was actually a bit rude for Huwa to answer like this in front of the City Lord. He clearly didn't want to tell his origins. Since he didn't want to commit suicide
Why bother to come to the city lord specifically to report his origin?
City Lord is a position, and the status is very important and noble in Xiangshi Kingdom. It is not much different than Lord Zhuzheng in the capital. And Guogong is just an honorary status. Although it is very respected, but only by virtue of this status
, the status may not be comparable to that of a city lord. As for those current masters who only have one title, hide themselves in caves, and rarely show up, of course, we have to talk about it separately.
The Lord of Hongyuan City was a very experienced and prudent official. He did not show any abnormality. He still greeted him warmly: "Young gentleman must have an extraordinary background. It doesn't matter if you don't want to reveal your identity for some reason. A token of national labor is enough."
We are preparing dinner at my house. Since you have come from afar, please take a seat and have a rest. We can chat while eating. If you have anything or a request, just ask at the table."
You want to eat as soon as you walk in? It's just in time for dinner! But Huwa glanced at the village treasure and said: "Lord Hongyuan, don't be in a hurry to eat now. I brought the captain of the village treasure to see you.
It's a very important matter, it's best to talk about it in private first."
In the two years since Hongyuan has been the city lord, there have been visits from state workers, but they all sent servants to inform them before entering the city, and they did not hide their identities. Most of them were his old acquaintances in the capital. But this young man
It is said that the young gentleman showed his token at the city gate and performed magical powers, attracting everyone to watch and admire him.
But when he arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, the man did not reveal his identity, and did not even eat the dinner he had prepared. He wanted to talk to the city lord in private. Hongyuan also felt that something was wrong, and saw Huwa's expression solemn, and the villager
Captain Bao also winked at him and nodded as soon as his thoughts changed: "Since we have important matters, we cannot delay them. Young sir, please come into the house to discuss it in detail."
