Strange World: My Systematic Practice Life

City Lord's Mansion.

Xia Houwu and Liu Hongfeng were waiting quietly outside the door.

As the patriarch of an aristocratic family, when he came to the highest power center in this county, he could only wait outside the door honestly like an ordinary person, waiting for the city lord to receive him.

For such obvious contempt, Xiahou and Wu didn't show the slightest bit of impatience on their faces.

Not long after, a guard came.

"You two, please follow me, the Lord City Lord is waiting in the hall."

"it is good."

Xia Houwu and Wu looked at each other, and immediately followed the guards.

Follow the guards all the way through the City Lord's Mansion.

It's not the first time they've come here, but it's the first time they've come here since Mr. Zhao took office.

The City Lord's Mansion at this time has changed quite a bit compared to before.

Although the main body has not changed much, some of the original solemn and solemn decorations have been replaced by various pink conspicuous ribbons at this time.

It made the City Lord's Mansion, which originally symbolized the center of power, look quite nondescript.

Not long after, under the leadership of the guards, the two finally arrived at the main hall.

At the door, Long Xing, who was tall and dressed in heavy armor, was standing there, looking at the two with a half-smile.

"Dragon Commander."

Xia Houwu directly ignored the other party's gaze full of deep meaning, and spoke lightly.

"Okay, since the two Patriarchs are here, let's go in. The City Master is waiting for you to surprise him, so don't let him down."

Long Xing opened his mouth playfully, and gave way to Kaitang.

Xia Houwu ignored him, exchanged glances with Liu Hongfeng, and walked straight into the hall.

Seeing the two go in, Long Xing planned to go in too.

But there were footsteps coming from behind.

The person who came was a red armored guard.

It was the eyeliner he put on the guards at the city gate.

Come here at this time, you should have discovered something.

Sure enough, the red armored guard came straight to Long Xing and whispered a few words.

After listening, Long Xing showed a playful sneer on his face.

"Want to run!?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the mansion.

……

the other side.

bell bell bell...

The fine wind chimes continued to ring from the carriage.

Several carriages galloped past on the official road.

in the carriage.

"I don't know what's going on with Dad. I'm so anxious to pick up Aru today."

Liu Qingfeng was holding a bagpipe in his hand and was playing it carefully.

"Aru, too, why did he come here at this time?"

"Okay, boy Liu, why are you not happy to see your fiancée?"

Xiahou Qingyi smiled indifferently.

"Happy is of course happy. After all, I haven't seen Aru for several months. The last time we met was in Pingshan County."

Liu Qingfeng said with some nostalgia.

"By the way, I remember that your fiancée is the second lady of the Pingshan Sun family."

"Yes."

Liu Qingfeng responded with a smile.

Egret just quietly listened to people's chats, while checking something with a map in his hand.

Finally his eyes landed on a point on the map.

Lin Jianghu.

As shown in the picture, there is indeed such a place.

This Linjiang Lake can be regarded as a diversion of the main waterway in Annan County. Because the river is shallow and the location is remote, there are basically no boats going there on weekdays, and even if there are, there are only some fishing boats.

Hearing what the two said, Egret followed the waterway map to check the location of Pingshan County.

The more he looked, the more he frowned.

No matter how you choose from Pingshan County to Annan County City, the best route will not be near Linjiang Lake.

It's just because it's a bit of a detour near Linjianghu.

After thinking about it, he deliberately asked.

"Qingfeng, have you been to Linjiang Lake?"

"No, in fact, I only heard about this place from my father today."

Liu Qingfeng was taken aback, and subconsciously replied.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with this place?"

Seeing this, Bailu looked at Xiahou Qingyi again, who also said that he had never been there.

Seeing this, Bailu finally realized something was wrong.

However, he didn't show anything on the surface, but left the carriage with the help of a breather, and came to the carriage leading the way ahead.

The coachman on the way was a middle-aged man in his early forties. This was the housekeeper named A Peng that Xia Houwu said.

"Uncle, why did you come to the front?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the egret, A Peng was obviously taken aback, but he quickly reacted and said respectfully.

"It's okay, just take a look."

Bailu's eyes paused on Apeng for a while, then he said with a smile.

He could clearly feel the strong qi and blood fluctuations from the opponent, and he was definitely a martial artist at the peak of Tianyuan.

However, there is an obscure barrier on its body surface, which seems to be covering up its blood to a certain extent.

If it weren't for the distance, I'm afraid even he would have difficulty seeing his specific strength.

Whether the family is a family or not, this is the first time he has seen the unfamiliar butler.

In addition to this butler, there are also a Tianyuan warrior on the other several carriages behind him. Although the realm is not as good as that of Apeng, they should not be underestimated.

After encountering the catastrophe of Gongsun's family and Tian's family last time, I didn't expect that Xiahou's family still had hidden strength.

This surprised him quite a bit.
