Chapter 144 Zhanting
Fang Bai took out her identity document, smiled and told the guard that her son and daughter were in the carriage.

The female city gate guard in armor lifted the curtain to take a look.Shen Lang has a handsome face and is resting with his eyes closed, showing a handsome side face.Li Ling touched the kitten on his lap with one hand, and was looking at him with a slight smile.

Although these two people looked very strange, they were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary auras, especially the girl who petted the kitten. She had an extraordinary appearance and an astonishing look, which was no less than the four beauties in the capital...

These two people, maybe they are the sons of officials who came to Beijing from other places... The city gate guard made a judgment in his heart, and quickly put down the curtain and let them go.

Driving the carriage into the capital, Fang Bai was filled with joy.

Li Ling and Shen Lang lifted the carriage curtain and looked out.

The capital of this Xianshu state is not inferior to the previous capital of the Great Zhou state where Shen Lang is located.It's just that here, the number of women in open costumes on the street far exceeds that of men.

Fang Bai drove the carriage with a smile and went straight to the center of the capital.

After passing through several streets full of people, their carriage arrived at Jinglin Street near the imperial city.

The buildings on King Lam Street are different from other streets.On this street, there are neatly rehearsed and huge courtyards of wealthy families.

At a glance, you can tell that this entire street is the residence of high-ranking officials in the capital.

The majestic or beautiful courtyards, the clean streets, and a few strong watchmen standing in front of each house remind passers-by that this is the residence of the official.

Fang Bai smiled and said: "Apart from the imperial palace and the palace compound, in this capital, Jinglin Street is the most distinguished person. Although Mrs. Zhan Tingzhan is the admiral of the Nine Gates and accompanied by the emperor, if she is alone, she will not I will definitely be able to live in Jinglin Street."

Without waiting for Li Ling and Shen Lang to ask questions, he said bluntly: "Master Zhan's mother is the emperor's teacher! She was already a marquis a few years ago!"

Li Lin spoke in the carriage: "Master Zhan really comes from a distinguished family."

"Isn't it!" Fang Bai said: "It's like my lord, although she is a second-rank official, but she still has some distance to enter Jinglin Street!"

"Really." Li Ling echoed.

While Fang Bai couldn't help laughing and chattering, and Li Ling responded with a few words from time to time, the carriage stopped in front of a big family.

Above the gate, a plaque reads "Qinghou Mansion".

When Li Ling got off the horse with the kitten and Shen Lang in his arms, he saw that Fang Bai could no longer care about them, and rushed to the gate of Qinghou Mansion in a hurry.

Two of the four female guards guarding the door immediately reached out to stop Fang Bai.

Fang Bai took out a seal from his pocket and handed it to the female guard: "Miss guard! I am the maid of Fang Qiaozhi, the second-rank governor, and this is the seal of my lord. My lord has a letter that I want to pass on to your lord. "

The female guard standing on the left lowered her head, carefully looked at the seal in Fang Bai's hand, and said, "Okay. Just wait a moment. I'll go ask my lord for instructions."

"Okay, okay." Fang Bai exhaled and stood in front of the door.

Li Ling and Shen Lang walked slowly behind Fang Bai, intending to follow Fang Bai into the Qinghou Mansion.

After a while, a chubby middle-aged woman and a female attendant walked to the door.

Seeing Fang Bai, this round middle-aged woman asked, "Fang Bai?"

Fang Bai and the middle-aged woman obviously knew each other, Fang Bai bowed to the middle-aged woman, "Feng Da Steward."

Steward Feng nodded towards Fang Bai, with a heavy yet welcoming smile on his face: "Fang Bai, come with me quickly. My lord heard that it was your lord Fang who sent the message, so he told me to hurry up." Come to meet you quickly."

Fang Bai smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Steward Feng, thank you Steward Feng."

Steward Feng led Fang Bai into the mansion.

Li Ling and Shen Lang silently followed behind Fang Bai.

Steward Feng glanced at Li Ling and Shen Lang, seeing that they behaved extraordinaryly, they couldn't possibly be Fang Bai's followers, so he couldn't help asking, "Fang Bai... who are these two?"

Fang Bai said: "Hey... I came back from Panzhou, suffered many hardships, and was almost killed by someone in the end. Thanks to these two chivalrous people, they not only saved my life, but also kindly escorted me to Beijing."

"Oh...it's actually two knights!" Steward Feng saluted Li Ling, and then said to the female attendant beside him: "Quickly lead these two righteous men to the guest room to rest."

"Yes!" The burly female servant made a "please" gesture to Li Ling.

Li Ling glanced at Shen Lang, hugged the kitten and followed the female attendant.Shen Lang followed behind Li Ling.

The female attendant led Li Ling and Shen Lang into the guest room, ordered the servants to bring some food and hot water, and then left.

The antique room is similar in shape and quality to Li Ling's house in Li's residence, but it is much more spacious than Li's residence.

Li Ling closed the door: "It seems...they don't plan to let us two 'irrelevant' people know about the Governor of Fang Qiaozhi."

Shen Lang sat down in front of the table, took a fresh apple and gnawed it: "Naturally. We are not from Fang Qiaozhi, nor from the imperial court. We are two wanderers, how could they let us know the court's secrets?" .”

The little cat jumped out of Li Ling's palm, jumped onto the table, paced unhurriedly to the teapot, and then looked at Shen Lang with open eyes.

Shen Lang sneered, poured the fresh fruit on the table, put the empty plate in front of the kitten, and poured water on the plate.

The kitten lowered its head to drink water slowly, and groomed its hair wet with warm water from time to time.

Seeing this, Li Ling couldn't help but smile: "Brother Shen, you are really considerate in serving Guaiguai. Guaiguai is also too smart."

Shen Lang chewed the fruit, and sighed jokingly: "Be good! You can tell it's a natural master's life at first glance."

Li Ling raised his eyebrows: "Brother Shen, are you a cat slave?"

"Cat slave?" Shen Lang chewed these two words, and sighed amusedly: "Isn't that right! Is there any way..."

"Then you really like to be obedient." Li Ling stroked the kitten and said.

After the kitty finished drinking the water, it turned around and took a few steps back, sat down on the table, and looked lazily at the two people in front of the table.

"Brother Shen, what do you think next?"

Shen Lang touched his forehead and shook his head.

Li Ling didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "If it were me, I would meet a pair of quacks with outstanding temperament. If I was free, I would meet them and try to recruit them as subordinates. But if I am busy——"

"Will you send them away directly?" Li Ling asked.

Shen Lang nodded: "That's right. As far as what we have done today, we are also kind to Fang Qiaozhi, and have nothing to do with this Qinghou Mansion. I'm afraid... once Mr. Zhan knows about Fang Qiaozhi, Just 'please' us to leave."

Li Ling frowned, they finally approached the task, and left like this?

Shen Lang stood up and said with a smile: "I can't come here in vain, I'll try and see if I can find out about the situation in the Qinghou Mansion, and that Master Zhan..."
