After breakfast, Cui Heng returned to the inn where he was staying and called Zhang Shuming, Hong Kang, and Hong Shen over.
“Exalted Immortal, did something happen?” Zhang Shuming asked.
“Someone will come to look for me later. Go and receive them.” Cui Heng smiled.
“Ah?” Zhang Shuming was stunned when he heard that. Then, he asked, “Are they from the government and the Linjiang Pei family?”
“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said, “From them on, there should be many people coming over in the next few days.”
Tang Huaiyi, Song Zhong, and the others’ auras naturally could not be hidden from him.
He had already sensed them when the two of them arrived at Linjiang County.
It was obvious how these two would react when they saw him.
They would definitely come over to pay their respects.
If the two of them were here, could Hui Shi be far away?
If Pei Qingshu still did not know about Hui Shi’s arrival, then this head of the number one aristocratic family in the world would not live up to his name.
….
The next morning.
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong brought the county magistrate, Wang Qian, to the inn where Cui Heng was staying.
The reason why they did not come over with great fanfare was because they were afraid of offending Cui Heng.
After all, they had seen Cui Heng stroll around the streets and shop at the breakfast stall with their own eyes.
It was obvious that he did not want too many people to know his identity.
It would not be good if everyone knew about
it.
Of course, they had prepared another plan.
In case they’d misunderstood and Cui Heng indeed wanted a grand welcome ceremony. Similarly, they had already prepared it.
As long as Cui Heng showed any signs of dissatisfaction with the ritual, there would be a signal.
After the county office received the signal, they would immediately start playing music. The soldiers would wear formal clothes and welcome him with very high-level etiquette.
Finally, with an uneasy heart, Tang Huaiyi, Song Zhong, and Wang Qian arrived at the inn.
The first to appear in front of them was Zhang Shuming.
“Immortals, long time no see. How have you been?” Zhang Shuming cupped his hands at Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong and smiled. “Immortal Venerable is waiting inside.”
“Immortal Venerable really knows that we’re here.” Song Zhong couldn’t help but tremble when he heard this. He hurriedly said, “Perfected Zhang, we met once in the Lower World. Can you tell us if Immortal Venerable Cui is angry?”
“…”Tang Huaiyi couldn’t help but hold his forehead and sigh. Why was Song Zhong still so immature at his age? Has his brain become muscles from practicing martial arts?
Even if he was really worried, how could he ask directly?
It was impossible for the other party to answer.
It was purely unnecessary.
He might even be underestimated by the other party. It was really not worth it.
“Immortal Song, there’s no need to worry.” Zhang Shuming smiled when he heard this. “Immortal Venerable, is as broad-minded as the sea. How can he get angry so easily? Immortal Song, don’t think too much. You’ll know after you enter.”
was
“But…” Song Zhong still wanted to ask. He was really uneasy. After all, he was about to meet an existence that could turn him into ashes with a breath.
“No buts. Brother Song, let’s go in.” Tang Huaiyi couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted Song Zhong, dragging him forward.
In this situation, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. The more he said, the more dangerous it would be.
Moreover, if he did not even know how to solve the problem, it would be best not to talk too much.
“Speak less later.” Tang Huaiyi couldn’t help but remind Song Zhong through voice transmission.
“Alright!” Song Zhong immediately agreed. He basically listened to Tang Huaiyi’s words without saying a word.
Then, the two of them were brought to an elegant room on the second floor by Zhang Shuming
County Magistrate Wang Qian also wanted to follow.
But at this moment, Hong Kang, who was waiting at the side, blocked his path and said with a smile, “This must be County Lord Wang. This old man is Hong Kang.
To be honest, I’m from Great Qi. After coming to Guanzhou, I feel that it’s extremely prosperous, far surpassing Great Qi. May I ask if County Lord has any good strategies to govern the world? If you do, can you tell me about them?”
“I do have some insights.” Wang Qian nodded at first, then walked around Hong Kang. “It’s naturally not a problem to tell you, but I still have some things to do…”
He also wanted to follow Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong up.
On one hand, he wanted to meet Immortal Venerable Cui, who had been praised by the two Human Immortals.
On the other hand, he did not dare to be alone outside, afraid that this was some dragon’s pool or tiger’s den. Without the protection of the two Human Immortals, he would not even have a chance to escape.
However, Tang Huaiyi did not want to complicate matters at this moment. Seeing that he was about to come over, he immediately shouted in a low voice, “What are you doing here? Wait outside!”
Wang Qian suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard this, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He could only say to Hong Kang, “Old Sir, come, let me tell you about our ways of governance here.”
“Thank you, County Lord Wang.” Hong Kang cupped his hands and bowed with a smile.
….
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong carefully pushed open the door.
When the two of them stepped into the room, they saw Cui Heng sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
Plop!
The two Human Immortals knelt in front of Cui Heng and kowtowed. They knelt on the ground with their hands, feet, and heads and shouted in unison,
“Little Immortal Tang Huaiyi greets Immortal Venerable!”
