Chapter 123: Very Treated
He never thought that his elder brother Huang Yuanwu had a good temper. In the army or at home, his elder brother Huang Yuanwu had a unique personality, and even his words showed his majesty to him. Why did he get here...
"Don't worry, the city lord is in great health." The 50-year-old soldier smiled, but he didn't look up to look at Huang Yuanwu and lowered his head and smiled.
Huang Yuanwu nodded after hearing this and said, "Then please take good care of my two horses. Is it convenient to go in now?"
"Convenient and convenient!" The soldier agreed happily and said, "This city lord's mansion is your place, little prince, there is no inconvenience, please come in quickly." As he said that, the soldier hurriedly made way and asked Huang Yuanwu to come in.
Huang Yuanwu nodded, took a step forward, and entered the city lord's mansion.
The fifty-year-old soldier walked down the steps, reached out to Huang Yuchen and said, "Little brother, leave the horse to me."
Huang Yuchen nodded mutely, subconsciously handed the reins of the two horses in his hand to the sergeant over fifty years old, and then hurried forward a few steps to follow Huang Yuanwu's pace.
In his heart, he was shocked. Before he could observe the arrangements in the city lord's mansion, he followed Huang Yuanwu into the hall. Huang Yuanwu sat directly on the main seat, looked left and right, and was deserted, and couldn't help but sigh.
Huang Yuchen stood behind him, extremely shocked, but could not speak. He had already entered the city lord's mansion, and his identity was just a deputy general.
"Who is this Rongbao City Lord Xiao Yibo..." Huang Yuchen couldn't help but ask in his heart. He saw the process of the eldest brother entering the City Lord's Mansion. He did not inspect the city of his subordinates. He was simply visiting his elders' home, and he was so polite to the old man in the door.
When Huang Yuchen thought of this, he looked at Huang Yuanwu's back. The shock and strangeness in his heart each accounted for half.
The two of them stayed quietly in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, but no one came out to receive them, not even a person pouring water.
"General...General..." After a while, Huang Yuchen couldn't help it and opened his mouth: "This city lord's mansion is a bit rude."
"Haha." Huang Yuanwu smiled awkwardly and said, "I've been used to it for a long time. It seems that Senior Xiao is not in the mansion, otherwise he would have come out long ago. Let's go out and look for him." After that, Huang Yuanwu stood up and went out of the front hall. Huang Yuchen followed him in a daze.
After entering the yard from the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Huang Yuchen had the time to see the layout of the City Lord’s Mansion.
There is a distance between the main hall and the main gate. The bluestone pavement is extremely flat. In front of it, there is a screen, which is extremely simple, white, and looks like white jade carved. On both sides, flowers and plants are decorated with them. The entire front yard of the city lord's mansion looks simple and elegant, but very deserted.
After crossing the screen, I saw the gate of the city lord's mansion. At this moment, the gate was closed and the fifty-year-old soldier was gone in the door.
Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, and went straight forward to open the door and went out. Huang Yuchen followed him, still confused.
His eldest brother is the eldest son of the Eastern King and the next successor of the Eastern King. Not only under the rule of the Eastern King, but even the entire Qitian Empire will give him face.
But when he arrived at Rongbao City, he was turned away and there was no one to entertain him. From the time he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he saw the fifty-hundred soldiers, a living person, and he still didn't know where to go. This made Huang Yuchen very puzzled.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the two brothers walked on the wide street, crossed the deserted street in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and entered the bustling street.
There were many shops on both sides, with loud noises. Huang Yuanwu did not stop and walked straight along the street without saying a word. Huang Yuchen followed behind him, wanting to ask something, but he couldn't find the opportunity to speak for a long time.
Passing through the street, entering a small alley, gradually moving away from the bustling street, it is obviously much deserted here, but there are many shops on the left and right, mostly snack restaurants.
Seeing that there were fewer people nearby, Huang Yuchen hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and asked softly: "General, what does this city lord's mansion mean? Why didn't you even receive it when you arrived? You still have to go out to find the city lord by yourself?"
"You don't understand." Huang Yuanwu glanced at Huang Yuchen, sighed, and said, "If Senior Xiao really waited for me in the City Lord's Mansion, then that would be a big deal."
"Ah?" Huang Yuchen glared, and he seemed to be unable to understand a single word Huang Yuanwu said.
Huang Yuanwu shook his head and continued to walk forward. Huang Yuchen had no choice but to follow him. He walked forward not far and came to a remote and simple hotel. From the outside, he looked like a small street shop, with no strange place.
Huang Yuanwu stepped forward, gently pushed open the store door, and stepped in. Huang Yuchen followed him in. The store was dim and there were several broken tables placed in the hall. An old man over 50 years old, who was dozing off on the counter. There were several jars of wine on the shelves behind him.
"Shopkeeper." Huang Yuanwu walked to the counter and shouted softly. The old man was obviously shocked and subconsciously said, "Can't you take credit anymore! Give the money quickly!" After saying this, he looked up at the person. When he saw Huang Yuanwu and the others in front of him, his face was obviously a little surprised, and he said, "Who are you two? Have you come here to pay back the debt?"
"Uh..." Huang Yuchen was confused, and Huang Yuanwu was covered in black lines.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and I could only hear the sound of the shopkeeper tapping the counter with his fingers. Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, not knowing what to say. Huang Yuanwu felt embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen Senior Xiao?"
"Senior Xiao? What is Senior Xiao? I haven't seen it before and don't know it. The shop is closed. If you don't come to pay the bill, go out quickly." As he said that, before he and the other two realized, the shopkeeper came straight up to drive people away. He saw him come out of the counter and push Huang Yuanwu up.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen stepped forward, grabbed the shopkeeper's wrist, and said angrily: "Bold! Do you know who is in front of you?"
"I care who he is? Why, I can't stop doing your business?" The old man raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly. After saying that, he was about to break free from Huang Yuchen's hand, but Huang Yuchen used some strength and he couldn't break free.
"The person in front of you is the current young prince of the East Prince's Mansion, Huang Yuanwu! Why don't you give him a bow quickly when you see the young prince?" Huang Yuchen was cold-blooded. When he was in the City Lord's Mansion, he was full of anger, but there was no one in the City Lord's Mansion, and no one came out to make him angry. But when he came to this remote place, the owner of a small restaurant dared to come up and chased him out. Huang Yuchen couldn't hold back his anger. He didn't care. His elder brother was the young master of the East Prince. If he didn't give him face, he wouldn't give his father face.
"What? Are you the little prince of the East Mansion?" The shopkeeper not only did not feel as shocked as he imagined, but instead said with surprise: "It's so good, you are the one you are looking for. Hurry up and clear the account to me! I have stayed enough of this broken place."
"Uh... I dare to ask..." Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly. This shop is a place where Xiao Yibo often comes. He came here to find Xiao Yibo, but he didn't know the shopkeeper: "When did you come to this shop, the shopkeeper? Where did the shopkeeper go before?"
"I bought this store and it has been here for more than half a year." The shopkeeper's eyes widened, without any fear at all, and said, "When I bought the store, the city lord told me that as long as I bought this store, someone would pay back all the previous accounts. They were talking about the little prince of the East Mansion. Since you claim to be the little prince, you should pay back all the money you owe me. I don't plan to ask for this store anymore. Give me the money and I will leave immediately."
Huang Yuanwu sighed softly, and Huang Yuchen continued to look confused.
I don’t know if the shopkeeper knows the concept of the young master of the East Mansion. Perhaps in his opinion, he and his two people could not be from the East Mansion.
"How much money did the city lord owe you, I'll pay you now." Huang Yuanwu shook his head, reached into his arms, touched the silver notes prepared in his arms, and asked.
"A total of 3,200 taels!" The shopkeeper's eyebrows condensed and said, "Including the meal I just ate, I don't want the fraction. 3,200 taels, give it to me now!"
Huang Yuanwu nodded, took out the silver notes in his arms, counted 3,200 taels and put them on the counter.
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that Huang Yuanwu really took out the silver notes and gave them to him, and he was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Huang Yuchen was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that the shopkeeper's bad attitude could be punished elsewhere. Why was the eldest brother not angry, but believed the shopkeeper's one-sided words and actually gave him money? Huang Yuchen subconsciously let go of the hand holding the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was stunned and reached out his hand, grabbing the stack of silver notes in his hand.
"This... is this for me?" The shopkeeper grabbed the silver notes in his hand and asked blankly, still a little unbelievable.
"What? Don't you want it? Didn't you say that you would pay back your debt when you meet the little prince?" Huang Yuanwu smiled slightly and said softly.
"You..." The shopkeeper suddenly widened his eyes. He realized that the two soldiers in armor in front of him were just coming to find Lord Xiao. As they said, the burly man in front of him was the young master of the East Mansion and the little prince Huang Yuanwu.
"Oh!" The shopkeeper suddenly yelled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, whispering: "The villain has no eyes and does not recognize the little prince, please atone for his sins."
Huang Yuchen looked at the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground with contempt. When he looked at the elder brother, Huang Yuanwu smiled and stepped forward to help the shopkeeper up and said softly: "No wonder, you have suffered too if you take this shop. Is this 3,200 taels of silver enough?"
"Enough is enough." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, with tears on his face and said, "Thank you little prince, thank you little prince."
"Shopkeeper, do you say that City Lord Xiao had just had dinner with you, do you know where others are now?" Huang Yuanwu's voice was gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring the shopkeeper.
"I know." The shopkeeper nodded like pounding garlic and said, "A new family has been moved here nearby. The mistress is a widow. The city lord will come to this family after I have dinner every day. He should be there at this moment."
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he curled his lips and sighed. When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was shocked.
"What kind of city lord is this... Is it necessary to pay the bill if I eat, and I still have to kick the widow's door after I eat?"
After hearing this, Huang Yuchen was even more confused. Who is this City Lord Xiao?
Huang Yuanwu said a few more words to comfort the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.
The two left the hotel, and the shopkeeper stood at the door and bowed repeatedly. Huang Yuanwu took Huang Yuchen and followed the way guided by the shopkeeper and headed straight to the newly moved widow's house.
"General..." Huang Yuchen was really depressed. He couldn't figure out what the hell was from City Lord Xiao, and he was willing to let his elder brother eat so much. He couldn't help but ask: "What does this mean? Why is this city lord not having dinner at City Lord's Mansion and insisted on coming to this store. After eating, he didn't pay for it. He also asked the elder brother to pay. The shopkeeper actually believed it? Besides, the shop is so simple, what can he eat? How can he eat more than 3,000 taels of silver?"
