Chapter 73 Gifts

When everyone present heard Xiao Yu's words, their faces changed, including the Cuenca who had just greeted her mother by Xiao Yu.

In fact, they naturally knew who Xiao Yu was. Before Xiao Yu entered the city, Wang Zimo had already notified Wang Tianhu that Xiao Yu was coming.

However, in their eyes, a declining territory, a declining nobleman, and a lord without any qualifications and prodigal sons are nothing.

Otherwise, Wang Tianhu wouldn't have asked someone to take Xiwen back like this. If the Xiao family was still in the prosperous era before, he wouldn't dare to do this with his 100 courage.

Everything is just because the family has declined, everything is just because the former duke's title is no longer worthy of its name.

However, even if the name is not true, the duke is the duke and the title is still there.

Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, and every lower level must welcome, stand up and salute the higher level. This is not only the Tianshi Dynasty, but also the rules that have existed for tens of thousands of years in this era.

This is a society with strict hierarchy, and hierarchy represents everything.

Perhaps, in the near future, the Tianshi Dynasty may be destroyed and a new dynasty will be replaced. However, since the Tianshi Dynasty still exists now and everyone is a subject of the Tianshi Dynasty, then we must abide by the rules of the Tianshi Dynasty and respect the title of the Tianshi Dynasty.

Perhaps, there are some places that have already looked down on this title, and those declining high-ranking nobles dare not challenge the new and low-ranking nobles with strength. However, if they really look at it in detail, if these low-ranking nobles really dare to be too presumptuous, then someone will stand up to safeguard the dignity of the Tianshi Dynasty. Although, this kind of maintenance is only for their own rights.

The people present were just talking about it. The Principality of Kahn, five hundred miles away, annexed a territory, and found a reason to not pay tribute to the French and Tianshi Dynasty and despise the royal court.

In fact, many people don’t pay tribute now.

But once you give others such a reason, you will give other people who are eyeing you with excuses.

The Wang family is here, and it is not without enemies, nor without opponents. If the opponent finds an excuse to be righteous and joins other territories to destroy the Wang family, many territories will be willing to participate to get a share.

This era is the most sensitive era. In essence, everyone has despised the majesty of the Tianshi Dynasty and completely disobeyed the orders of the Tianshi Dynasty, but they never dared to say it.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history, the Zhou Dynasty still existed, but the vassal states had completely acted on their own, not obeying the orders of the Zhou Dynasty or paying tribute. However, despite this, no one dared to destroy the Zhou Dynasty so directly and call himself emperor. No one dared to say that he was independent and did not listen to the Zhou Dynasty's summons. Everyone was tacit, and they still surrendered on the surface, but they just established their own small kingdom in private, ruling the orders of the Zhou Dynasty, and then developed little by little to the Warring States Period.

When everyone saw Xiao Yu, or when they heard that Xiao Yu was coming, they didn't pay much attention. They were just a playboy who inherited the title. They were said to eat, drink, gamble, do nothing, and make a prodigal son.

In fact, this can only be blamed for not reporting the situation on the Lion King Leader and the road at the beginning. He originally wanted to bring Xiwen over first and then report to Wang Tianhu by the way. After all, these things were just called a servant to report and said that they were not comprehensive. Moreover, he lost the Free Magic Necklace, so naturally no one else could report them. But who would have thought that Xiao Yu, the hooligan, had to follow him directly.

Moreover, Xiao Yu asked Grom and Tyrande to wear cloaks in normal times to avoid shocking the world and causing trouble. Although he was not afraid of trouble, there was no need to be too arrogant. After all, there were too few orcs and elves in this world. Especially when Tyrande's appearance went out, it could directly be so charming. People from a city came to see it, which was so arrogant. They just saw Grom and Tyrande coming in, and they just thought it was just ordinary guards. If they knew that they were an orc or an elf, they would not have fired at Xiao Yu so arrogantly. They would definitely wonder how this lord would have an orc.

Although the little dragon is a dragon, if you don’t look carefully from a distance, you will think it is just a higher-level monster. When the dragon clan was young, the characteristics of dragon horns and other characteristics did not fully grow, so it is difficult to distinguish them.

Therefore, in the bottom of my heart, everyone on the scene already had contempt and contempt, so naturally there would be no one going out of the city to welcome them. However, the duke of the Xiao Yu family was hereditary, and Xiao Yu now completely inherited the title of Xiao Zhantian, that is, the first-class lion king of the Tianshi Dynasty. In the entire Tianshi Dynasty, there was no one who had a higher title than his.

Wang Tianhu is just an earl, and he is still a marquis who is not far behind the duke, and his level is obviously much lower. Although Wang Tianhu is considered Xiao Yu's senior, he has to salute Xiao Yu first in his title, and then Xiao Yu will give his junior gifts.

Wang Tianhu did not give a tribute first, so Xiao Yu naturally did not need to give a tribute.

Therefore, whether it is what Cuenca said at the beginning that Xiao Yu was not polite or Xiao Yu brought the guards into the house, these are all within the scope of the Tianshi Dynasty's laws, and they are all on Xiao Yu's side.

If Xiao Yu really impeached Yun Cao, then those old guys who maintained the orthodox Tianshi Dynasty would immediately speak. Even if Yun Cao was not guilty, he would definitely be punished.

Now, Xiao Yu's words woke everyone up, and everyone subconsciously stood up, including Wang Tianhu, Cuenca, the magician just now, and Yun Cao, who was scolded by Xiao Yu's nose. They all knew the importance of this matter.

Even if the other dukes wanted to impeach them, they might not have such great strength, but Xiao Yu was different. Xiao Yu's father Xiao Zhantian was saved back then.

Some ancient dukes may not remember the emperors of the Tianshi Dynasty, but the emperor must know the duke Xiao Yu.

You can kill Xiao Yu quietly and destroy the corpse and traces. There is no problem. Just like Kalu, there will never be anyone who is bored to investigate. Now the Tianshi Dynasty no longer has the ability to take care of these things, and the emperor himself can't take care of it. But if you are disrespectful to Xiao Yu, the great duke of the empire, on the surface, that is a serious crime. Many people can take advantage of the problem and cause trouble for you.

This is the characteristic of this era.

"Oh, Nephew Xiao blamed Uncle Xiao for not going out of the city to greet you today. Uncle is here to apologize to you. Uncle really doesn't know that you are here, and Zimo didn't inform me. It's really a punishment." Seeing this stalemate, Wang Tianhu immediately smiled and smoothed out the situation.

He was able to be a lord for so many years and manage his territory so vigorously, and he naturally made him extremely proficient in his ability to change his mind.

Such things can be big or small, and now it is best to turn big things into small things.

When Xiao Yu heard Wang Tianhu say this, he waved his hand quickly, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "How dare I ask Uncle Wang to leave the city to greet me? I just saw that some people are too uneducated and taught me a lesson. Uncle Wang, don't mind, I'm not targeting you."

In fact, Xiao Yu cursed in his heart: "You don't know? It's weird if you don't know. I didn't want to suppress you as a duke, but it would be fine if you don't fucking welcome you. When I came, I didn't even open the door, and I dared to give my dear sister-in-law a warning. Damn, if I don't suppress you, you will really treat yourself as a human being."

After scolding, Xiao Yu's anger just now became much worse. At this time, she sat back with a swagger, hooked up at the maid, and said, "Come on a bowl of tea, I'm tired of scolding just now."

The maid saw that even the lord stood up, so she naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly brought a cup of tea.

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea, looked at everyone standing, and hurriedly said, "Sit down, why are you standing? I'm a junior here. I can't afford to take care of you like this."

A group of people cursed at Xiao Yu in their hearts: "You can't afford to take care of it, you can't afford to curse like this just now?" Looking at Xiao Yu's gangster look, everyone also said in their hearts: "It's indeed a playboy, it's indeed a prodigal son, and the legendary one is indeed not fake."

After seeing everyone sitting down, Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang, there is someone in my Xiao family standing outside. This is not good. Can you ask her to come in and have a cup of tea?"

Wang Tianhu was stunned when Xiao Yu said this, thinking that there were still people in the Xiao family, and wasn’t you the only one left? But when he saw Xiwen, he immediately understood what Xiao Yu said.

Wang Tianhu's heart suddenly became nervous, knowing that he would have difficulties in marrying Xiwen this time.

Xiao Yu's sentence "There is someone standing outside in my Xiao family" tells Wang Tianhu that Xiwen is now from the Xiao family, but not from your Wang family. Don't do whatever you want like before as your daughter.

Although Wang Tianhu's heart was changing, he still had a smile on his face and said, "Of course, I haven't seen Xiwen for a long time. Xiwen, why are you still standing there? If you haven't come in, let your father take a good look at you."

Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu's smile and cursed in his heart: "A smiley tiger. If I hadn't given you some color just now, it would be strange if you could smile now. Who else is there to ow you a million."

When Xiwen heard his father's words, she hurried in, bowed heavily to Wang Tianhu, and said, "Xiwen greets her father, so good."

Wang Tianhu nodded, looked at Xiwen a few times, and said, "Well, Xiwen, you have lost weight. After you left, your mother has been missing you tightly. You can go and see your mother first."

After hearing this, Xiwen saluted again and said, "Yes, father, this time I came to visit my father and brought some gifts, and I hope my father will accept it with a smile."

After hearing Xiwen's words, Wang Tianhu said casually and said, "Okay, it's rare that you have this filial piety."

Xiwen then took a few steps forward and presented an extremely exquisite gift box with both hands.

"The gift of my daughter's filial piety is so good. Count Wang, you are blessed. I believe this is definitely not an ordinary gift. Can I open my eyes?"

Yun Cao was so angry that he was scolded by Xiao Yu just now, but he couldn't even get back a word and was almost impeached. He was already so angry that he was almost blown up. At this time, when he saw Xiwen bringing a gift, he immediately found the place to tease Xiao Yu.

The decline of the Lion King leader is now well known. What good things can Xiwen be used as the young lady in the Lion King leader? Needless to say, they must be something that has no value.

He said this, naturally he wanted to ridicule the Lion King and attack Xiao Yu.

As long as it is not too obvious disrespectful to Xiao Yu, insulting the title, or ridicule or ridicule, the Tianshi Dynasty has no control.

Wang Tianhu naturally understood what Yun Cao meant. He was about to take the opportunity to show the decline of the Lion King leader. Xiwen was unable to live a good life and then lay the foundation for Xiwen's remarriage, so he was naturally happy to cooperate with Yun Cao.

Immediately, Wang Tianhu pretended to be old and said with relief: "Haha, yes, I have a good daughter."

As he said that, Wang Tianhu opened the gift box in public.

Everyone present also focused their eyes, wanting to see what Xiwen was holding, and then he ridiculed Xiao Yu and scolded him.

Because Xiao Yu was so angry that even those who Xiao Yu had not scolded had to stand up and salute, which naturally made them feel uncomfortable.

What's more, they were all on the side of Cuenca and Yuncao, but in fact they were both on Wang Tianhu's side, so they naturally would not miss this opportunity to put down the wrongdoing.

As Wang Tianhu opened the gift box, he saw a neatly arranged transparent wine glasses appearing inside the brocade box.

Seeing that it was just a set of wine glasses, everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but feel ridiculed. It was too shabby to bring such things when they came home to visit their relatives.

It is said that the Lion King leader has fallen, but I didn’t expect it to reach this point. Alas, I’m sorry, Xiao Zhantian was so mighty that he was in power for his lifetime.

Yun Cao spoke first. He stretched his waist to the sky and beat him haha, saying, "Okay, it's a good daughter. He actually cares about his father so much. This set of wine utensils is really the best. When you have nothing to do, let his father drink a few more glasses, haha... I didn't expect that the Lion King would take such a big deal and take out such a valuable gift to let the young lady go home to visit her husband."

"Well, it turns out that this set of wine is worth at least dozens of gold coins. The travel expenses from the Lion King who has been brought from a distance are also quite expensive. I don't know if it's worth it. If it's not worth it, it's better to go to the Wang family territory to buy one on the street and then give it to Count Wang. This is also easy to save trouble. However, the travel expenses from the Lion King who has been brought from a distance are also reflected in his daughter's filial piety. Giving a goose feather gift from a thousand miles is more desirable." Cuenca also said sarcastically.

"I want to tell you, the real value of this set of wine utensils is the packaging of its brocade box. You can see this brocade box, which is definitely a top-notch northern nanmu. This brocade box seems to be worth hundreds of gold coins." Another guy with his horoscope said seriously.

"Actually, I have to say that this should be a special product brought by the Lion King, and it must have something special. Otherwise, as Duke Xiao, how could he take out such a ragged thing to let the young lady go home to visit her relatives?" Another person also took the opportunity to ridicule.

For a moment, everyone present spoke, mocking everyone for this set of wineware and ridicule the shabby and ruin of the Lion King's leader.

Xiao Yu looked at them sarcastically and ridiculed them, but didn't care. She just sat quietly with a sneer on the corner of her mouth. Xiwen originally wanted to open her mouth to explain something, but these people didn't give her a chance at all. Moreover, seeing that Xiao Yu didn't respond, she didn't say anything.

"Okay, everyone, although this set of wine utensils is worthless, it was brought by the little girl from all over the world, and it is also a pleasure to do so. After all, the Lion King is in a bit of recession now. I am very happy that the little girl can bring some things back to honor me." In the end, Wang Tianhu waved his hand and stopped everyone's discussion.

At this time, both Wang Tianhu and others here showed a look of complacent and reconciliation on their faces, and there was also a deep contempt.

Xiao Yu heard Wang Tianhu say that, as if he was talking for him. In fact, he was obviously ridiculing himself even more and cursing himself: "You old man, you know you will do this."

Immediately, Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Uncle Wang is right. The Lion King leader is now declining. He can't bring out any good things. It really makes everyone laugh. Uncle Wang doesn't dislike him, and I am so grateful. I borrowed this set of wine utensils and toasted Uncle Wang to express my respect."

As he said that, as soon as Xiao Yu slapped his finger, Grom immediately handed over a bottle of red wine.

Xiao Yu opened the red wine, picked up a cup, and then slowly poured it in. As the bright red wine flowed into the wine glass, the originally crystal clear wine glass suddenly changed.

At this moment, the red wine seemed to have become something else, and it looked full of texture in the wine glass, like a whole piece of solid object.

Then, with a flash of red light, a strange picture suddenly flashed in the wine glass, and countless fish were swimming around, as if they were in a vast ocean.

Xiao Yu shook his wine glass, and suddenly, a light and shadow projected from the wine glass, reflecting on the wall, showing a black and red sea area. Countless swimming fish swam happily, occasionally jumping up, splashing countless water droplets.

All of this is lifelike, completely as if it is real.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Yun Cao screamed in a daze at this time, "Glass of Light Phantom Wine Glass? Is this the legendary glass of Light Phantom Wine Glass? It is said that there are only one hundred sets of works by Master Odo back then? Now there seem to be less than twenty sets of them."

Xiao Yu looked at the guy who was owed cao and curled his lips, saying, "Caojun, he is indeed knowledgeable. He actually knows this wine glass. The Lion King's Collar has declined and he really can't come up with anything good. My sister-in-law said that Uncle Wang has good wine, so she barely used it for Uncle Wang to drink. A little bit of minced stuff is really shabby and I can't take it. I hope Uncle Wang doesn't mind it. Thousands of miles give goose feather gifts are more desirable. My sister-in-law is very dedicated. I also hope that Uncle Wang can accept it with a smile and don't dislike the light gifts."

Just now, someone used the gift of goose feathers for thousands of miles to mock Xiao Yu. Now, Xiao Yu used this sentence again and slapped everyone on the scene.
