"Teng Fei said thoughtfully: "But after the Red Sun Society suffered a loss here, the nobles also became quiet."
"You can't say that, those people will never really be quiet! They are just waiting for opportunities..."
Ling Shishi discussed with Teng Fei seriously: "I understand the greed and shamelessness of those nobles better than you. I know their faces very well." They will only lie dormant temporarily, waiting for you to be gone or your power to weaken.
When that happens, they will immediately be like a group of wolves that saw blood and surround them again..." "Does this have anything to do with me integrating into their circle?" Teng Fei asked seriously, "Because he has no understanding of these things.
Things are really not understood.
"Of course it does matter. Most nobles are greedy and shameless, but not everyone is like this." As for you, you must first integrate into this circle, and then you can find some people who are pleasing to your eye, cooperate with them, and give them benefits.
.In this way, "those forces targeting you" will have some fear, instead of like now, you make enemies on all sides, and everyone will have no scruples to deal with you!"
Ling Shishi said, holding a purple gown and gesturing on Teng Fei: "Yeah, this is it." You must look handsome in what you wear, my dear brother. "Now, you can go change clothes!"
Teng Fei looked at Ling Shishi with a frown on his face: "Do you really want to change? No discussion?"
"No!" Ling Shishi looked determined.
Teng Fei was forced by Ling Shishi and began to change into clothes that Ling Shishi thought were suitable. He changed into three or four sets and then changed back to the first purple gown. When his whole body was tortured to the point of collapse, Ling Shishi
Finally feel satisfied.
"Well, this one is the most eye-catching. My vision is really unique!" Ling Shishi said with admiration.
Teng Fei's eyes looked at Ling Shishi, full of terror. "He didn't understand how a beautiful girl not much older than him came up with such a torture method? Did I offend her at some point? Teng Fei
Very confused.
Ling Shishi herself also put on a beautiful white evening dress. When she came out, Teng Fei was stunned and his eyes were a little straight. Although Teng Fei knew that Ling Shishi was beautiful, but this noble temperament appeared in front of him.
, the extremely youthful woman still made Teng Fei a little distracted.
Her skin is as good as snow. The V-breasted evening dress "reveals that snow-white and delicate skin, making people almost unable to take their eyes away. The high bun, the perfect oval face with dark eyebrows," eyes like stars,
Delicate nose, delicate breasts... Just like a fairy walking out of a painting, her temperament is extremely noble, without any smell of fireworks.
This is the girl Ling Shishi who was wearing a casual samurai uniform all day long, smiled a little naughty, tormented people, and looked like a little witch? If she is said to be a royal princess, no one will object, right?
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Ling Shishi stretched out her delicate little hand, waved it in front of Teng Fei's eyes and asked coquettishly.
Her pretty face was a little red, and she rolled her eyes at Teng Fei, revealing her potential as a witch, and then smiled sweetly: "How is it, do you find that your sister is beautiful?"
"Yes, it's very beautiful. I like it so much!" Teng Fei looked at Ling Shishi with a sincere face. In fact, he almost burst out laughing. After getting along with each other these days, Teng Fei already knew Ling Shishi's temperament.
It's totally the kind of thing where you take one step back and she dares to take two steps forward. Well, if you don't want to be teased by her, then you can only tease her first.
"..."
Ling Shishi didn't dare to look into Teng Fei's clear eyes. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she snorted and said, "You little brat, if you dare to take advantage of your sister, I won't deal with you next time!"
"Is there a next time?" Teng Fei was surprised.
"Are you looking for a fight?" Ling Shishi bared her teeth, raised her delicate little fist, and looked at Teng Fei who was running away. A happy smile flashed in Ling Shishi's eyes.
Ling Tianyu did not attend this banquet. His identity is still a bit too sensitive. There is no guarantee that no one in Haiwei City will recognize him. It is better to keep a low profile.
Uncle Fu and Uncle Song also stayed at home for the time being. Today is the New Year's Eve banquet, and they are in the city lord's mansion. "There will be no danger."
Teng Fei and Ling Shishi rode a carriage to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion in Haiwei City has a history of hundreds of years. It is solemn and majestic. Every mottled wall brick seems to hide a story. The courtyard wall is more than two feet high, and the tall main entrance is hung with "
There is a huge plaque with two big characters "Zhao Mansion" written on it. The handwriting is vigorous and clumsy, obviously written by everyone. At the door, there is a lot of traffic at the moment. "Nearly all the people with status in Haiwei City" are here.
When the carriage bearing the Teng family logo arrived, it still attracted some people's attention.
"Are the Teng family's carriages considered nobles?" A handsome, arrogant young man glanced at the Teng family's carriage with disdain, then turned away and said to a beautiful girl next to him.
Someone nearby said: "The Teng family has been very popular in Haiwei City recently. Even the Red Sun Society fell into their hands. I heard that the previous branch of the Teng family was also driven out of Haiwei City by Teng Fei.
It’s not surprising that he can come.”
"I heard that Viscount Xiahou and the Lord of the City were also involved in that matter..." someone whispered.
The arrogant young man showed a disdainful smile: "Most of the rumors are untrue. From my perspective, they are just an incompetent person who relied on his father's shadow. Did the Red Sun Society I heard about fall into his hands?"
At the hands of two mysterious masters!"
"Anyway, the Teng family can't be considered unknown in Haiwei City."
Amid people's discussion, Teng Fei and Ling Shishi got off the carriage. Ling Shishi's beauty immediately caused a burst of exclamation.
Ling Shishi looked like a proud little princess, completely losing the image of the little witch in front of Teng Fei. With a calm and noble look on her face, she held Teng Fei's arm and walked towards her with gentle steps.
"Who is this girl? She is so beautiful!" Someone praised in a low voice.
"She is truly stunning. Whose daughter is this? I have never seen her before!"
"Is that young man Teng Fei? He looks very handsome!"
As soon as the two people appeared at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, they immediately became the center of attention. Many people exclaimed in their hearts: What a golden boy and girl!
Countless young men in Haiwei City were attracted by Ling Shishi's beauty, their hearts beat faster, and their eyes couldn't help but follow Ling Shishi's figure.
The young nobleman who had just laughed at Teng Fei had completely forgotten what he had just said. His eyes were fixed on Ling Shishi and occasionally glanced at Teng Fei, filled with jealousy.
"Why can a country bumpkin take such a beautiful woman with him?" the young nobleman thought bitterly.
At this time, a hearty laughter suddenly came from the city lord's palace: "But Master Teng Fei is here?"
Following this voice, a group of people walked out from inside and surrounded Dangfeng, a tall middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had a domineering face, deep eyes, "aquiline nose" and sharp edges on his face.
Like a knife cutting.
"Oh my God, it's the City Lord!"
"It's Count Zhao An, am I right? The dignified Lord of the City actually came out to greet him in person..."
"Who is this kid? He can actually be welcomed by the city lord himself..."
People were extremely surprised, and then looked at the city lord, Count Zhao An, striding out.
"I have met the Lord of the City!"
"I have met the Earl!"
"Say hello to the City Lord!"
People at the door of the City Lord's Mansion came up to say hello one after another. Zhao An nodded lightly at those people with a serious face. The expressions of those people were as happy as if they had eaten candy.
Zhao An came to Teng Fei's side in a few steps, took Teng Fei's hand with a smile on his face, and said with an extremely affectionate smile: "I have wanted to meet you for a long time, your father Teng Yunzhi is a real hero, I admire him very much!
Heroic young man Teng Fei, come and invite us inside!" This scene shocked many people. Especially those who were previously hostile to the Teng family looked at Teng Fei with even more surprise and uncertainty.
"Zhao An, the Lord of Haiwei City," is the count of the empire! Even if he is not hereditary, he is still a true noble. He has always lived in seclusion and is very indifferent to everyone he meets. He has a perfect grasp of reserve and nobility.
Has anyone seen him be so affectionate to a person? Especially this person is still a young man. Even if the Teng family is very rich, among the rich and powerful nobles present, which one is poor?
No one could guess why the Lord of the City was so affectionate towards Teng Fei, and many envious and jealous eyes fell on Teng Fei's back.
Teng Fei was so enthusiastic about the city lord whom he met for the first time, and he was also surprised. He didn't feel flattered at all. His father must have no friendship with this city lord. Otherwise, Chen Fang and others would have told him a long time ago.
.
And since he came to Haiwei City, he didn't seem to have made any great contribution to be treated so affectionately by the city lord. Just when Teng Fei was confused, he heard that the city lord Zhao An was very gentle.
the sound of.
"Haha, don't be surprised. Viscount Xiahou and I are from the eldest prince line."
Teng Fei was startled and couldn't help but glance at Zhao An, only to see the Lord of the City looking straight at him and walking forward with a smile on his face.
"Old fox!" Teng Fei cursed in his heart, thinking of the noble and outstanding young man he had met outside Lanhua Town. He thought to himself: Could it be that he is the eldest prince of the Xuanwu Dynasty?
The banquet hall of the city lord's palace is very large, and there is a lot of people inside. The upper class people of Haiwei City wearing luxurious clothes walk through it. All kinds of exquisite delicacies and snacks are placed everywhere. The waiters and maids have wine in the trays, and there are also
There are musicians playing beautiful music, forming a cheerful picture.
After Zhao An personally brought Teng Fei in, he allowed Teng Fei to move around freely. Before leaving, he looked at Teng Fei and gave him a meaningful smile: "Master Fei," the banquet was filled with people from the upper class of Haiwei City.
, it will be good for you to make more friends. This city lord hopes to cooperate sincerely with Mr. Fei in the future to create a better future!"
