Chapter 468: Arrival at Niu Mansion
Xiang Yun was riding in a sedan chair with eight-carrying sedan chairs and escorted by Liu Hong, walking swaggeringly on the street, heading towards the north of the city, the residence of the Minister of Justice.
Along the way, the pedestrians on the street saw that it was His Royal Highness's carriage coming, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, for fear of blocking the way forward of the sedan chair.
And those young girls who finally walked out of the boudoir courtyard and were playing and shopping, women who were still charming, or even aunts in their forties and fifties, all of them were flying.
When I heard the prince's trip from afar, I was so scared that I was so scared that I screamed in surprise. I fled around to hide, but I was taken away by this bastard and playboy who "returned the king" and suffered destruction!
As for those powerful and powerful children who were originally rampant on Longcheng Street, they heard Xiang Yun's name from afar and immediately turned around and left, for fear of provoking this evil star.
So, a lively scene of the prince's trip turned into a mess in the blink of an eye!
Xiang Yun in the sedan chair saw all this and couldn't help but cover his forehead and was speechless!
"Damn it, as the saying goes, a bad boat has three-point nails. This prince is a beautiful boy. How could his reputation be so bad? When he sees me one by one, he runs faster than a rabbit when he sees me."
Especially when I saw an aunt with a body that was as round as a fat bull, her body rolling like a water tank, she would shake the earth three times when she ran, and her running speed was extremely slow. But while she ran, she shouted in fear at the same time.
"Your Highness, don't chase me..."
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun was almost so angry that he spit out an old blood. This is just a rumor and slander!
Please, aunt, look at your figure, appearance, age, you...why are you anxious? If you don't come and punish me, I will burn incense. You are absolutely safe!
In order to avoid misunderstandings, Xiang Yun simply asked the sedan chair owner to stop the sedan chair and waited for the aunt to run away before he asked someone to get up, saving others the idea that he was hungry and food.
After such a farce, Xiang Yun was a little upset because of the romance on his face, and he suddenly became even more frustrated. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians to block the streets and the streets were empty. Xiang Yun and others soon arrived in front of the Niu Mansion's mansion.
The blue-black courtyard wall, the vermilion gate, and two mottled stone lions, the bases were covered with moss, and the lush banyan leaves in the courtyard wall had already emerged.
The mansion of the Minister of Justice Niu Youde is very ordinary. Compared with the wealthy courtyards of the noble and noble Nancheng, it even looks a bit simple, not like the mansion of the first-rank official and the Lord Shangshu.
However, this can also reflect that this Shangshu is not greedy for wealth. After all, the Ministry of Justice emphasizes fairness and integrity and strict self-discipline!
Xiang Yun fell into the sedan chair here, but at this moment, the gate of Niu Mansion was closed tightly, and it was quiet inside. There was no sound. Xiang Yun walked out of the sedan chair and came to the gate of Niu Mansion. Liu Hong stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, with a creaking sound, the gate of the Niu Mansion opened. A middle-aged servant looked out and looked outside the door. When he saw Xiang Yun and others, the middle-aged servant suddenly felt a little disgusted. Before he could ask, Xiang Yun spoke lightly.
"Where is Fatty Niu, ask him to come out for me!"
"Uh..." The middle-aged servant was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
Good guy, there are only two fat men in the Niu Mansion, one is Niu Shangshu Niu, and the other is Niu Young Master. This kid is so brave that he dares to call "Fatty Niu" without hesitation.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official of the prime minister's doorman, the middle-aged servant suddenly glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly.
"Hmph...Who are you? My master went to court. The young master was recuperating at home and did not see any guests. Please come back!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun said nothing. Liu Hong, who was beside him, took out a silver token and said in a solemn voice: "Your Highness the Prince has arrived, but you still haven't opened the door to greet him!"
When the servant saw this bright silver token, he was shocked and subconsciously said: "Zhen... Prince, which prince?"
"Hmph...the third prince of Yincheng!" Liu Hong snorted coldly, scaring the servant so much that he was shocked! "What, Yin...the third prince of Yincheng!"
The servant just turned his eyes and trembled in shock. He looked at the young man in front of the door with extraordinary clothes and the momentum of the magnificent aura. He was still suspicious and hurriedly opened the door to welcome guests!
"District...Your Highness, you...please please in there!"
The servant didn't dare to say anything. If he asked Xiang Yun to wait outside the door, he would directly welcome him into the mansion, fearing that he would neglect the little devil who was famous in the imperial capital.
Under the leadership of the servants, Xiang Yun came to the Niu Mansion lobby. The servants of the Niu Mansion immediately got busy, served tea and water, and served pastries and delicacies, which was no problem!
If an ordinary prince came to Niu Mansion, there was no need to be so nervous. However, the person who came was Xiang Yun, that would be extraordinary.
Not to mention Xiang Yun's prominent identity, they would not dare to have any etiquette and improperity just because of Xiang Yun and Prince Niu.
"Where is Fatty Niu? Do you still need this prince to invite him?"
Xiang Yun sat in the hall of Niu Mansion. Seeing that Niu Fatty had not come out yet, he couldn't help asking in confusion. According to Niu Fatty's temperament, once he heard that he was coming to see him, he would definitely be "running and getting out" to see him.
"Uh...this, young master..." The servant was at a loss when he heard Xiang Yun's question and didn't know how to answer.
Xiang Yun's eyes flashed with brilliance, he looked at the servant quietly and sneered.
"Why... Is there any secret about Fatty Niu that cannot be said?"
With Xiang Yun's current cultivation and divine power, this seemingly ordinary glance actually carried a powerful pressure, so that just one glance, the servant who was just a Sanyun warrior suddenly became stiff and his heart trembled. He said tremblingly.
"Reply...Report to the prince, young master, he is practicing in seclusion, and others are not allowed to receive him at will."
"Oh... do you mean, am I a 'other person'?" Xiang Yun's voice turned slightly cold.
"This..." The servant immediately felt sweat from his forehead, feeling a great pressure, which made him almost breathless.
"Take me to see him!"
“Uh…yes!”
In the end, the servant had to choose to surrender. He really didn't dare to face Xiang Yun's gaze and questioning again.
Xiang Yun stood up and followed the servant through the corridor and alley with Liu Hong, and walked all the way to the backyard of Niu Mansion. After passing through a quiet bamboo forest, Xiang Yun smelled a scent of incense from afar.
"Your Highness, you're here."
Following the direction pointed by the servant, Xiang Yun saw a courtyard with a large attic inside. The four big words "Niu Family Ancestral Hall" were written on the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing these four words, Xiang Yun was slightly stunned and immediately said in confusion.
"What did your young master come to this ancestral hall? Could it be that he lost his pants in the gambling house again and was punished by Niu Shangshu to kneel down on his ancestor's spirit card?"
When Fat Niu was in Longcheng, he often lost all his money and returned home with IOUs. He was often beaten up by Shangshu Niu and punished him to the ancestral hall to kneel down to worship his ancestors. Xiang Yun was no longer surprised.
The servant shook his head and said, "No, no, since the young master returned to Longcheng, he was taken into the ancestral hall by the master. It has been more than a month since the young master even had food, drink, defecation and slaughter. How could he go out to gamble? The young master has been sneaking in the ancestral hall to practice."
"Ah..." After hearing this, Xiang Yun was surprised. If he said that this fat man was punished to kneel here for ten days and half a month because he did something wrong, he would still believe it.
But if you want to give way to the lazy guy and practice here in seclusion for more than a month, then Xiang Yun would rather believe that the iron tree blooms and the sows would climb the tree.
With doubts in his heart, Xiang Yun simply walked towards the Niu Mansion Hall, wanting to go in and find out. However, as soon as Xiang Yun took a step, the servant next to him hurriedly called him from behind.
"Your Highness, let's wait!"
Xiang Yun looked at the servant in confusion.
"Your Highness, the young master is in seclusion in the ancestral hall. No one can enter except the master and the housekeeper Deng. Look..."
"Oh...so that's it."
Xiang Yun nodded after hearing this and stopped.
Seeing this, the servant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the prince would make a desperate attempt. By then, Butler Deng and the Master would blame him, it would be difficult to deal with.
However, the Niu Mansion servant had not finished his work. As soon as he looked up, he suddenly realized that the prince's prince and the entourage who followed the prince had disappeared at the same time.
The next moment, he was frightened to find that more than ten feet ahead, there were two more people at the entrance of the Niu Mansion Ancestral Hall. Isn’t that the prince and the others? Why did they arrive at the door in the blink of an eye?
Seeing His Royal Highness taking the lead, he was about to push open the gate of the ancestral hall!
The servants of the Niu Mansion opened their mouths wide. Before they could speak, the gate of the Niu Mansion ancestral hall suddenly opened, and then a black figure flashed out and stopped Xiang Yun.
This is a tall old man in a black robe. His eyes are like a falcon, his sword eyebrows are white, and his aura is extraordinary!
"Who is coming? The Niu Mansion Ancestral Hall, no one outsiders are allowed to enter!" The old man shouted coldly, his voice like thunder, and a pressure was pressing down, like a storm was about to come!
Xiang Yun and Liu Hong at the door, facing the old man's mountain-like aura, did not take a step back. Xiang Yun said in surprise.
"It's you!"
Xiang Yun once met this old man in Qinfeng City. He was the housekeeper of the Niu Mansion. He once came to Qinfeng City to pick up Niu Fatty Man and returned to Longcheng.
"Your Highness the Prince!"
When the old man saw Xiang Yun, he was shocked and immediately recognized Xiang Yun.
Immediately, Butler Deng looked at the servant not far away and said.
"Bastard, Your Highness, why don't you invite Your Highness to prepare refreshments in the lobby?"
When the servant saw Butler Deng questioning, he immediately knelt down in panic and said, "Master Guan...Master Guan, Your Highness... He pointed out that he must see Young Master Niu. The young man really couldn't stop him, so..."
"Why... Butler Deng, is it so difficult for me to see your young master? Is it because the threshold for your Niu Mansion is too high, or is the status of this prince too low?"
Xiang Yun looked at Butler Deng coldly, and at the same time he became more and more confused. What was going on with Fatty Niu at this moment? Why did the servants of the Niu Mansion insisted on stopping him and not letting him see him?
When Mr. Deng heard this, his eyes surging, and he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the prince, the young master is now in seclusion in the ancestral hall. The master has an order that no one is allowed to see the young master. The young master is just ordered to guard him. I hope your prince will not make things difficult for him."
When Xiang Yun heard this, his face remained calm and said calmly.
"If I must meet your young master!"
Butler Deng suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and he hesitated for a moment.
"Your Highness, all this is the order of the master. We are just servants and we really don't dare to disobey. If your prince has time, it's better to wait for the master to come back from court and ask the master personally, your prince, how are you looking?"
"this……"
After hearing this, Xiang Yun was a little hesitant. After all, this was someone else's mansion. An outsider forced himself into someone else's ancestral hall, which was indeed a bit reckless and rude.
It was not unreasonable to go to Butler Deng. Xiang Yun thought for a moment and was about to nod and agree.
"Boss, help me..."
At this moment, a sudden sound of the ancestral hall, a fat cow slaughtering a pig!
In an instant, Xiang Yun's face changed.
Chapter completed!
