After the two finished chatting, they left separately.
Zhengjun
Duncan found a hotel nearby to check in and wait for good news.
Liu
Qiang was not vague in his work. After changing his clothes, he ran to West
Lucozia Palace to hand in the visiting card in person.
However,
when he arrived at the destination, he was shocked by the scene in front of
him.
At
this moment, many people had gathered at the gate of West Lucozia Palace.
Among
them were several big figures he was familiar with, such as the general soldier
of the city guard, General Longwei, and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang
Pavilion.
These
three were all first-rank officials. In West Lucozia, it was not an
exaggeration to describe them as being able to call the wind and rain.
Especially
General Longwei, who was the boss of his boss.
When
he saw them at ordinary times, he had to march in step, for fear of leaving a bad
impression.
In
addition to the three powerful big figures, there were also some second-rank
officials, all standing in a row at the door.
It
is no exaggeration to say that any one of them would have more power and
background than him.
"Oh
my god, is today an important day? How could so many big shots show up at the
same time?"
Liu
Qiang was secretly shocked and became nervous.
The
self-confidence that had swelled before was now all transformed into
trepidation.
In
the eyes of many people, he, a third-rank official, was indeed a powerful
person.
But
compared to these real big shots, he was just a small character who led horses
in front of the door. He usually just made himself familiar and supported them,
and knew that there was such a person.
As
for the right to speak, it can be completely ignored.
At
this moment, the red painted door of the West Lucozia Palace was closed, and
everyone stood at the door and waited.
Several
leading first-rank officials would peek inside through the crack of the door
from time to time.
The
guards did not stop them. As long as they did not force their way in, they
would all pretend not to see it.
"What's
wrong with the prince today? We have been standing outside for a long time, and
he really doesn't plan to invite us in to sit down?"
General
Longwei paced back and forth, looking very anxious.
"That's
right! I am so old, and I am dizzy and dazed under the sun. How can I bear
it?" Tianzhang Pavilion University Scholar also complained.
"Okay,
the two of you, the prince said that there are important matters at home today
and he will not see guests. You should go back." The general soldier of
the city guard advised.
"Humph!
Let us go back, why don't you leave?" General Longwei replied unhappily.
"That's
right! We are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you playing with us? I
don't even want to expose you!" Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary rolled
his eyes.
He
came here on behalf of the eldest prince to find out the truth.
And
the city guard general knew with his toes that he had received benefits from
the third prince.
As
for the rough general Longwei, he owed a favor to the second prince.
The
three of them had the same goal, but different positions.
"Don't
be so angry, both of you. To put it bluntly, the prince has not seen us for so
long, he must have guessed our intention and does not intend to wade into this
muddy water. There is no point for us to waste time here, why don't we find a
place to eat something and drink a few glasses of wine?" The city guard
general smiled like a signature.
"Eat
shit! I'm not in the mood now. If you want to eat, go by yourself!"
General Longwei was very irritable.
"I
won't go either. I'm taking care of my health now. I only drink tea, not
wine." The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion also refused.
"Since
you want to wait, then continue to wait. I won't accompany you."
The
city guard general said with a fake smile, and then pretended to leave.
As
a result, he almost bumped into Liu Qiang who was coming towards him.
"General,
sorry, sorry, I didn't bump into you?"
There
were so many big shots at the scene, and Liu Qiang was scared, so he was
distracted for a while and met the city guard general. He almost made a mistake
and was scared to the point of being incoherent.
He
is not like other generals, who have a background and a strong backing.
He
can get to where he is today step by step, and he has worked hard. If he
accidentally offends some big shot, he might be beaten back to his original
form at any time.
The
city guards frowned at first, but soon recovered and smiled, saying, "It's
okay. You look so panicked. Have you encountered any difficulties? Tell me
about it."
A
third-rank official is not a small official. If he is promoted to a higher
level in the future, he will be qualified to be his right-hand man.
Giving
a smile and doing a favor is harmless.
"I
have an important matter to ask to see the prince. I didn't expect that all the
adults are here. I am really scared." Liu Qiang smiled.
"Oh?
You want to see the prince too? What a coincidence. We all want to see the
prince." The city guards smiled.
"Who
are you? How dare you join in the fun? Get out of here as far as you can!"
General Longwei looked unhappy.
These
words scared Liu Qiang so much that he shuddered all over and nodded
repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I came here suddenly. I didn't know that all
the adults had important matters to discuss. I will leave now, I will leave
now!"
After
a deep salute, Liu Qiang was ready to run away, but the city guard general held
him back: "Don't be nervous, since you are here, make the best of
it."
As
he said that, he turned his head to look at General Long Wei and smiled:
"General, this guy is your subordinate after all, and he didn't make any
mistakes. Why are you so fierce? Why don't you listen to him? What if there is
really a major military event, and you drive him away, delaying the
opportunity, and the prince holds him accountable, what should you do?"
"Hmph!
If you have something to say, just say it, and if you fart, just fart!"
General Long Wei frowned.
"Yes...
it's like this, Zhengjun Duncan, the third son of the Duncan family, is
visiting West Lucozia. Today, I was specially asked to deliver a visiting card,
hoping to meet the prince." Liu Qiang hesitated and briefly explained the
situation.
After
listening, the people around him laughed.
"What
is the third son of the Duncan family, I've never heard of it, tell him to go
away from where he came from!" General Long Wei was not polite.
If
Xueliang Duncan was here, he would still give him some face.
He
didn't take a dandy who grew up with the blessing of his father seriously.
"Hey,
hey, hey, what do you think of the West Lucozia Palace? Can anyone come in? How
ridiculous!" The Grand Secretary sneered.
The
three first-rank officials were still waiting outside the door, and a little
Karami who came out of nowhere was actually asking to see the prince like them.
It was really a mess!
"Get
out! Don't embarrass yourself here! It's annoying to watch!" General
Longwei issued an order to expel him again.
"Yes,
yes, I'll take my leave now!"
Liu
Qiang was sweating profusely, and he didn't even dare to wipe it off. After
bowing deeply, he was about to run away again.
"Squeak!"
At
this time, the vermilion door of the palace suddenly opened slowly. - Ton
