Chapter 130: Divine Constabulary Great Feast
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
As the Divine Constabulary that guarded the five capitals of the Northern Desert, the security today was like an ironclad.
At this moment, at the door of the Divine Constabulary, two huge white jade sculptures stood on both sides of the constabulary, grand and majesty, and at the side of the two white sculptures.
Two rows of Red Pinion Squad members stood wearing shiny armours, each of their expressions was cold as ice, and carefully observing the movement around them.
They all knew very clear how important today's Divine Constabulary feast was.
Among the entire five capitals of the Northern Desert, officials ranked five and above were almost all present. Not only that, even scholars from the Western Liang, Southern Nation and Eastern Metropolis all gathered for the feast.
The reason was very simple…
The number one talented girl in the Great Xia, Chi Guyan, was back.
To the government officials, this was a rare opportunity to interact with the future number one marshal. To the scholars and youths, there was a deeper meaning.
A year ago, when Chi Guyan attained the Double Dragon Roll Champion in front of everybody in the Imperial Yan Capital, that level of talent and genius caused many to instantly have the urge to kneel.
Chi Guyan wasn't engaged.
This was a secret everybody in the world knew. Even though Chi Guyan's engagement had to be determined by the current emperor, but, nobody felt that the emperor wouldn't go through Chi Guyan's agreement.
Hence, Chi Guyan's engagement was ultimately determined by herself.
…
Within the Divine Constabulary, in an independent and elegant courtyard.
Pavilions were filled with clear water, and the aroma of flowers filled the air.
Wearing a green dress, Yuer stood outside the pavilion and looked at the lady within who was wearing a pink dress, and at this moment, the lady was holding an ancient book in her hands, reciting quietly in the pavilion.
It was Chi Guyan.
"Missus, this time, King Duan travelled light, and claimed that he wasn't here for the feast, and instead wants to visit Missus… It is rare for Missus to come back, do you really not wish to meet him?" Yuer carefully asked in a soft voice behind the lady.
"The next time Lord Father asks you to convey a message, you don't have to convey it."
"Yes, Missus!"
"It's almost time, go get ready."
"Roger!" Yuer nodded, then, instantly beckoned to the surroundings.
Very quickly, around twenty maids appeared, some holding screens, some holding ornaments. Evidently, they had already been waiting not too far away.
…
This was Fang Zhengzhi's first time in the Golden Scale City, naturally, he was somewhat curious.
Even though Yan Xiu had been here a few times, but evidently, he wasn't a qualified tour guide. Today, wearing a white brocade robe with an ink bamboo sewn onto it, Yan Xiu seemed even more noble and icily arrogant.
The entire way, Yan Xiu didn't speak, and instead very calm walked shoulder to shoulder with Fang Zhengzhi.
However, with Yan Xiu walking beside him, at least it wasn't difficult to find the Divine Constabulary.
It had been eight years. When he saw that familiar armour, and the familiar red triangular seal, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt that time had indeed passed rather quickly.
Today, the Divine Constabulary's gate was wide open, other than the Red Pinion Squad standing guard at the side of the gate, there were still servants in charge of serving the guests walking around at the constabulary gate.
"Greetings to both young masters!" A servant wearing a short robe saw Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, and immediately went up to them.
"This is a gift for lord." Yan Xiu passed a gift list to the servant.
"I represent lord to thank Young Master Yan Xiu!" The servant took a glance at the name on the gift list, then looked at the contents of the list and his expression instantly became respectful.
Then, the servant's gaze shifted to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at the servant.
Alright…
He had definitely brought along a gift.
Fang Zhengzhi also took out a gift list from his pocket, and gracefully placed it in the servant's hand.
The servant received the gift list and looked at the name, and a faint light flashed across his eyes. Then, opening the list, he swept across it and his expression suddenly became somewhat queer.
"One pound of dried sweet potato, half a bag of peanuts, two pieces of locally produced preserved meat…"
"Young Master Fang, are you sure you didn't take the wrong gift list?" The servant seemed somewhat incredulous.
"Some local products from my hometown, I hope lord will like them!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head very seriously. This was a genuine mountain product.
In the previous world, even if one had money, one wouldn't be able to buy this.
"Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi's gift list indeed contains a unique local flavour!" A wave of laughter came from behind Fang Zhengzhi.
Then, wearing a blue brocade robe, a white-faced man appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
"Greetings to Young Master Lu!" When the servant saw the new person, he instantly began to smile.
"Huh, isn't this Yan Xiu? I had recently heard that you are friends with this country bumpkin, I never thought that you two are really inseparable?" The man in the blue brocade robe didn't pay any attention to the servant, and instead turned his gaze to Yan Xiu who was standing beside Fang Zhengzhi.
Yan Xiu didn't speak, he didn't even bother taking one glance at the man in the blue brocade robe.
A glimmer of shock flashed across the man's face, but, it quickly disappeared. He didn't continue arguing with Yan Xiu, and instead returned his gaze back to Fang Zhengzhi.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I never thought that you would actually dare to come to the feast? Don't you know that my cousin is back? Ha ha… my cousin really hates you very much!" The man in a blue brocade robe looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a mocking look.
Fang Zhengzhi also didn't pay any attention to the man in a blue brocade robe, and instead looked at the servant in front of him.
"Is this how the grand Divine Constabulary treats their guests?"
"This…" The servant was taken aback. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi, then looking at the man in blue brocade robe and Yan Xiu, his expression changed slightly. "Young Master Lu, Young Master Yan Xiu, Young Master Fang, please come inside!"
Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then walked together with Yan Xiu into the Divine Constabulary.
When they reached the constabulary gate, Fang Zhengzhi turned his head back, and looked at the man in blue brocade robe who was still standing outside with contempt, and gave him a middle finger.
"Idiot!"
His voice was clear and loud. Definitely, not only could the guests and servants hear this very clearly, even the Red Pinion Squad standing guard outside the constabulary gate were able to hear it clearly.
The expression of the man in blue brocade robe instantly darkened.
"Oh right, who is the cousin he is talking about?" When they entered the constabulary gate, Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu who was beside him.
"The Battle Constabulary guards the Southern Nation, while the Divine Constabulary guards the Northern Desert. Even though they are separated into north and south, but they still have family relations. He is the ninth son of the Battle Constabulary, hence, naturally his cousin would be…" Yan Xiu explained as he walked.
"Ha ha… You better not tell me his cousin is Chi Guyan." Fang Zhengzhi smiled lightly.
"Exactly!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, and nodded his head very seriously.
"..." The smile on Fang Zhengzhi instantly froze.
