Arknights is too real, right?

Xia Feng's guess was right, the residence Zhao He arranged for them was indeed very quiet.

Because it was dark, there were no street lights along the way, and because he was sitting in a carriage, Xia Feng didn't even know where he was being taken to Fengyang City.

When the carriage stopped, Zhao He got off first.

"Governor Xia, we are here."

This place deserves the word "elegant" because it is not a standard mansion, let alone a high-end hotel, but a two-story building with a single courtyard.

Moreover, the location of this small building is at the end of the entire street, which is somewhat similar to the Baigui Street where his barbecue restaurant is located.

Not only are the geographical locations similar, but even the street scenes are similar. To be honest, it can no longer be described as quiet. Xia Feng feels that using spooky is more appropriate.

Standing in front of the gate, Xia Feng barely took a look at the small building in the darkness.

"Master Zhao, this place is really elegant."

Zhao He's face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat. He had obviously heard Xia Feng's sarcasm, but he still pretended to be conscientious and explained.

"Governor Xia, this place meets your requirements very well. It is absolutely quiet when you rest. Of course, you don't have to worry about safety. I will order a team of imperial guards to stay around day and night to protect your safety."

Xia Feng nodded.

"Okay, I'm not worried about my safety. This is the imperial capital. I, Xia Feng, have no enmity with anyone. Is it possible that I will be assassinated?"

"Haha, Governor Xia is joking."

After saying that, Zhao He took half a step back and nodded slightly.

"Later, I will arrange for the meals to be delivered. I apologize for the poor hospitality, Governor Xia. I have no choice. This is my rule in Dayan. I will make do with it for one night. Tomorrow you can enter the imperial city and return your orders to Prime Minister Yan." .”

"When will I enter the imperial city tomorrow?"

"It should be in the afternoon, I will pick you up then."

"Can."

Zhao He bowed.

"Governor Xia was tired from the journey and wanted to rest early after eating, so he resigned.

"good."

After Zhao He left, the accompanying group of imperial guards did stay here. A group of people stood outside the pavilion, apparently planning to guard it all night.

The interior layout of this residence is quite good. It seems to have been carefully prepared, fully furnished, and equipped with many luxurious decorations.

About half an hour later, the servants delivered exquisite meals.

Xia Feng directly greeted Zhou Liang and the two shadow guards Xiaokong and Xiaoling. The four people, regardless of their official positions, sat at the same table and finished the dinner.

Of course, Zhou Liang's face looked a little ugly at the dinner table, but seeing Xia Feng eating happily, he couldn't say anything.

With Zhou Liang's knowledge, he knew very well that this reception was too shabby for a governor, and even seemed to be deliberately humiliating.

But at the same time, he also understood that perhaps this was the deliberate power given to Xia Feng by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There was no other way. As Yandong's district adjutant, he could only shake his head helplessly.

In theory, the five governors are all equal in terms of status, but in the hearts of actual people, the newly established governor of Yandong is not yet on an equal footing with the other governors.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Liang stood up and asked.

"Sir, please rest early. If anything happens, please call me at any time. When the restoration of the Imperial City is over tomorrow, we can return to Yandong immediately."

Zhou Liang's words made Xia Feng feel very pleased.

He could tell that the true meaning of Zhou Liang's words was [Sir, after we have dealt with these official affairs, we will return to Yandong, and we will not suffer this cowardice at the foot of the imperial city]

That night, Xia Feng didn't realize the "quietness" that Zhao He said at all, because there was a strong wind blowing outside the window all night.

"Hoo~ho~ho"

Lying in the room, the not-so-tight windows kept making the sound of being blown by the wind.

During this period, Xia Feng got out of bed many times and came to the window. He saw that the remaining group of guards had indeed not left. Even though there was a strong wind outside, they were still standing guard with due diligence.

After returning to bed, Xia Feng placed the Shenyue Knife under the pillow and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, early morning.

It was already dawn outside. Xia Feng got up and stood in front of the window, but did not see the sun.

The sky above Fengyang City was shrouded in dark clouds. Although the wind last night had subsided slightly, there was still a hint of storm coming.

After a simple breakfast, Xia Feng sat in the living room on the second floor, drinking the tea Zhou Liang made for him.

"Sir, the time to return to the imperial city is in the afternoon. Before then, do you need me to accompany you for a walk?"

Xia Feng glanced out the window while holding the tea cup.

"Goodbye, it seems like it's going to rain heavily outside."

"Okay, then we won't go out."

In the morning, Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling, who had been staying downstairs, came up to find Xia Feng.

They said that the Yanguo Shadow Guards training officer learned that they had returned to Fengyang City and ordered them to go to the Shadow Guards to recover before the governor left.

Faced with this request, Xia Feng nodded calmly.

"Okay, then go ahead and remember to bring an umbrella."

"yes."

After Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling left, he and Zhou Liang were the only ones left in the two-story building.

At noon, the clouds outside became darker and darker, and the entire sky became very dark. At the same time, thunder could be heard faintly on the horizon.

Some people say that people's mood is generally related to the weather. Maybe it was because of the depression before the rainstorm, but Zhou Liangxian felt a little restless.

"Sir, do you need to communicate with me? Waiting for a while is not an option."

Xia Feng always had a relaxed smile on his face.

"What's the rush? Didn't Mr. Zhao say it would be in the afternoon last night?"

"But it seems like it's going to rain outside."

"It's not normal to rain. Stop spinning around and just sit down for a while."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Xia Feng leaned toward the window.

He discovered that the group of guards downstairs had quietly withdrawn at some point.

No one brought him food at noon. Just when Zhou Liang was about to lose his temper because the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so negligent, there was finally a knock on the door downstairs.

"Dong dong dong!"

The person who came at this time was neither Mr. Zhao from yesterday nor the servant who delivered the food.

This well-proportioned man was about thirty years old, with a bright saber on his waist. He claimed to be the deputy commander of the imperial army and wanted to see Governor Xia.

After being taken to the second floor by Zhou Liang, the man bowed his head to Xia Feng, clasped his fists, and performed the military salute of the Yan Kingdom.

"Governor Xia, my subordinate Zhang Rong, the deputy commander of the imperial army, has been entrusted by Mr. Zhao He of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to lead Governor Xia to the imperial city."

Xia Feng didn't show any doubt.

"I see. Then I'll just clean it up and let you go."

"good."

Only Zhou Liang asked unhappily.

"Didn't Mr. Zhao say afternoon yesterday? Why did he change it to noon? Mr. Zhao hasn't even had lunch yet."

Deputy Commander Zhang Rong replied ably.

"I don't know about this subordinate. It should be arranged by Prime Minister Yan Guo."

Since it was arranged by Prime Minister Yan Guo, Zhou Liang could only snort heavily and no longer have any doubts.

A few minutes later, Xia Feng changed into clean new clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Deputy Commander Zhang, let's go."

"Governor Xia, please."

Then, Xia Feng looked at Zhou Liang, who was about to go out together.

"Old Zhou, please don't go. I'm the only one Yan Guoxiang wants to see. Just stay here and wait for me."

Zhou Liang was stunned. As a district adjutant, it was normal for him to accompany the governor on such occasions. He didn't expect that Xia Feng didn't want to take him with him.

"Sir, this."

"It's okay. It shouldn't take long. It was very windy last night, so you probably didn't get any rest. You can catch up on some sleep in the afternoon. I'll probably be back in the evening."

After that, leaving Zhou Liang with a confused look on his face, Xia Feng and Deputy Commander Zhang Rong, who came to greet him, walked out of the door.

On the last day of 2020, Fengfeng will be a fourth-shift beast again, Fengfeng Beast, evolve! ! !
