Volume Sixteen, Chapter Fourteen [Meeting the Duke of Pombel]
Volume 16, Chapter 14 [Meeting Duke Pombel]
The arrival of Princess Siqi surprised Wen Xiang Leiyun, but he knew that this princess was very cold and cold, and others would not take her seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, this human monk was actually her friend, and she said it from Princess Siqi's mouth.
In addition, this Wang Wei was also recommended by Hu Luntai, so it seems that he is not a rootless person.
Although the Duke's Palace was indeed at fault for what happened today, they had never apologized to those who were oppressed by the Palace. It's just that the Wang Rui they met today was not an ordinary person.
"In that case, how about inviting the princess and the Immortal Master Wang into the house to have a cup of tea together?" Lei Yun couldn't see Wang Rui's depth, so he simply called him Immortal Master. After all, he was a mortal.
Since Wang Rui had achieved his goal of knocking on the door, he would naturally not object. Seeing this, Princess Siqi decided to accompany Wang Rui to the Duke's Palace.
The onlookers immediately compiled what they saw into intelligence and sent it back to all the forces. As a result, Wang Rui, a newcomer to Skyfire City, gained a good reputation in a short period of time.
The concierge of the Duke's Palace and his entourage have been escorted to the main hall by Lei Yun's order. They were originally going to be escorted to the backyard for expert practice, but now that Princess Siqi is nearby, it is difficult to deal with it privately, so they plan to deal with it publicly.
At this time, there was a commotion in the duke's palace, and figures from the two major factions, the direct descendants and the common descendants, kept appearing one after another.
"Boss, what's going on? Why did the old slave and other slaves at home have to go to the hall to plead guilty after being beaten? Are you ready to plead guilty to father?" Dozens of men and women gathered around a fat man with two haircuts.
The man with the moustache came over.
Lei Yun's appearance was much more outstanding, and dozens of people soon stood around him, forming two camps.
The concierge was obviously a subordinate of the fat man opposite Lei Yun. At this time, the owner of the old dog came and suddenly started crying with snot and tears: "Second Master, I... I am wronged..."
Then, the beaten servants and thugs around the concierge started shouting that they were wronged, which immediately made Lei Yun's face darken. These people had admitted their mistakes before, but they didn't expect to see someone supporting them and directly shouting that they were wronged. Doesn't that mean that he wronged them?
"You are so brave. You dare to cry out in front of me. Do you think that even though I am a high-ranking prime minister, I don't dare to kill people?" Lei Yun's voice fell with a solemn pressure, which immediately made the crying concierge and others stop pretending.
howl.
When the fat man saw this, his mustache immediately trembled with anger, and he sneered: "Brother has such great official authority, but it's a pity that this is not the court, but at home."
"Second brother, you allow these evil slaves to make money, accept bribes, and ruin the family tradition of the Duke's Palace. If your father finds out, I will see what you look like." Lei Yun reprimanded.
The fat man suddenly became angry with embarrassment, and his face turned red from suppressing it. Uncontrollably, waves of mental pressure suddenly erupted from his mind, turning directly into mental waves and hitting him, causing almost everyone around him to cover their ears and squat in pain.
On the ground.
The same is true for Lei Yun. He is only a mortal, but his second brother is a monk, and his cultivation is in the late stage of pill formation, and he is a general-level strongman. At the same time, the technique he practices is an extremely mysterious spiritual system, which can
Manipulating mental power into various attacks was something that even Wang Rui encountered for the first time.
Faced with these waves of spiritual waves, Wang Rui would be affected if he didn't take action, and the same was true for Princess Siqi. The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and took action one after another.
Princess Siqi pulled out a golden short blade from her waist, shaped like a sword. There was a zigzag structure on the sword's spine, with a row of small bells on it.
When she danced the short blade, the bell instantly emitted sound waves, which offset the spiritual waves to form a protection.
Wang Rui, on the other hand, was relatively simple. Under the action of a thunder gravitational force, he directly lifted the fat second master over, and then interrupted his mental explosion, causing the mental wave to disappear instantly like sourceless water.
Princess Siqi was shocked. She didn't expect Wang Rui to take action so quickly and directly to the bottom of the pot. Although she could achieve similar results with her cultivation, she was afraid that this was the Duke's Palace after all, so she restrained her impulse.
"You..." The fat man raised his finger and pointed at Wang Rui, looking a little angry.
Wang Rui didn't care about his identity and slapped him on the back. It looked like an ordinary slap, but this slap scattered the spiritual energy in his body's meridians, making him unable to gather spiritual power in a short period of time.
However, in the eyes of others, Wang Rui seemed very bold and dared to attack the heir of the old Duke.
"Okay, it's important to do business. Second brother, I will take charge of today's affairs, lest you end up being bullied by an evil slave in the future and be taken away." After saying that, he asked the concierge and others to be taken away.
The servants were taken away together. This time, no one dared to say anything.
After Wang Rui and others left, the fat man couldn't help but curse: "Who is this guy? Why couldn't I resist at all just now?"
"I heard that this man defeated Modwell." said a person next to him.
The fat man let out a sigh and said: "No wonder, Modwell is a person who is highly regarded by that guy Black Feather, but he seemed to be much stronger than me just now, so it's no wonder that Modwell was defeated."
"What now, Erye?" another supporter asked.
The fat man waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, let's see what happens to this old slave Kurt. He has really gone too far in the past few years. He dares to expire his master. Such a slave is terrible."
After saying that, he followed the pace of his eldest brother and others and came to the main hall. At this moment, there were several old people present in the hall. Among them, there was a doll with white hair and a childlike face. He was dressed in a simple jute robe, which made the old man look very imposing.
"Father, what happened today is due to the blindness of this old slave, Kurt. The person he sent out was a person who failed to achieve anything but failed. In addition, this old slave's selfish desires have expanded in recent years and his corruption has been serious. It has disgraced the reputation of our Duke's Palace. However,
..." Lei Yun's change of subject gave Kurt, who was originally despairing, a glimmer of hope.
After seeing the fat man come in, Lei Yun's expression did not change. He continued to look at the majestic old man above him and said: "But... I have worked hard in Kut for most of my life and I have made great contributions to my Pombel family. I also ask the head of the family to show mercy.
Return Coote's deed of sale and make him a free citizen, but he will not have anything to do with the Duke's Palace from now on. This will preserve the friendship between master and servant, and also silence everyone's opinions."
Lei Yun made Wang Rui feel that he was not a barbarian, but a human being. His words and tone of voice were very close to those of the human race. For a time, Wang Rui wondered if he had returned to Dongxuan Continent.
"Good!" The old man agreed, and Kurt burst into tears. As for the other servants, they were not so lucky and had to be kicked out after being beaten.
After taking care of these household matters, Wang Rui felt that Duke Pombel was different. This man was indeed an old man. He dared to expose the shortcomings of his family in front of outsiders like Wang Rui and Princess Siqi, which was extremely rare.
Soon, Wang Rui and Princess Siqi followed Lei Yun and Fatty Second Master to the backyard of the mansion and came to a garden with unique scenery. The others voluntarily retreated.
The garden is huge. It is hard to imagine that a place like Skyfire City can have such a huge garden.
"Princess Siqi's presence will make the humble house shine." Duke Pombert made an invitation gesture, and Princess Siqi returned the favor and sat down.
Then Duke Pombert faced Wang Rui again, looked him over, and said, "This little friend must be the person recommended by Hu Luntai, right?"
"Yes, your Majesty, Wang Wei, has met His Excellency the Duke." Wang Rui replied in a neither condescending nor overbearing tone. Pombel also made an invitation, and Wang Rui sat down calmly.
It's strange that no one thought there was anything wrong with Wang Rui's behavior for a while. He had the same temperament as the old man known as the "God of Killing", even if it was the first time they met.
Pombel also glanced at him and saw that he was really not pretending, so he smiled and passed by.
Princess Si Qi knew that Wang Rui came to visit for something, so she took the initiative to ask on his behalf: "Brother Wang, I heard that you are looking for a large teleportation array and are preparing to go to the Qingluan Dynasty?"
"Yes, princess, I originally wanted to find the super large teleportation array and go back to Dongxuan Continent directly. After some research, I found out that the super large teleportation array is located in the Qingluan Dynasty, and I don't know if it can be activated, but I am not willing to do so.
I plan to go take a look." Wang Rui glanced at Princess Siqi gratefully.
Hearing the two men performing the double act, the three Pombels and his son on the side were also discussing something in low voices. In the end, it was the second master, Jushi Pombel, who took the initiative and said: "The large teleportation array leading to the Qingluan Dynasty is in the palace.
So you want to enter the palace through our Duke’s Palace and use the teleportation array?”
"Yes, I wonder if Your Excellency the Duke, Mr. Wen Xiang, and the Second Master can lend a helping hand. As long as I can do it, there will be no ambiguity." Wang Rui said sincerely. He has always been like this and hopes for equal exchange, unless it is for feelings.
aspect.
Jushi smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, just call me Jushi. You and I are both general-level monks, and we should be considered equals."
"In this case, I wonder if Brother Jushi is willing to tell me how I can have the opportunity to use the teleportation array in the palace?" Wang Rui asked further. Junqu Pavilion
Jushi twirled his mustache and said mysteriously: "There is something hidden in the palace right now. Brother Wang, it is best not to think about entering the palace in the near future, otherwise you will be killed."
"Oh?" Wang Rui's heart sank when he heard this. It seems that this Tianhuo City is not as prosperous as it appears. In fact, the clouds are treacherous and murderous.
There were so many tensions in the palace, and there was a fatal disaster, most likely due to two reasons. First, the dragon son seized the legitimate son. Second, the emperor was critically ill.
Perhaps, it is possible to have both, and that would be very dangerous. If you are not careful, civil strife will break out.
Wang Rui lamented that he came at the wrong time, and encountered such a sensitive period. There were many king-level experts in the royal city, and he had not yet recovered his Nascent Soul cultivation. It would be dangerous if he rashly got involved in the battle for the inheritance.
After thinking about it, Wang Rui immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I won't bother you with the second master and the Duke. I'm a few literary ministers. I'm a casual cultivator. I'm used to being carefree. It's a joke."
Then, he said to Princess Siqi: "Princess, take care, see you soon!"
After saying that, he left alone without waiting for the others to agree. He was so fast that when the others tried to keep him, he had already disappeared.
