Chapter 74: Royal messenger
Chapter 74 The Royal Messenger
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Yang family had been calm and calm, and nothing unusual happened.
It's rare to have such a quiet time, Yang Tengjing set his heart to concentrate on the practice and the effect was quite good.
On this day, the noble guests from the imperial capital came to Fenglei Town, and the patriarchs and leaders of the four major families came to greet them.
The distinguished guest who came to Fenglei Town was the imperial envoy of the Izumo Empire. Fenglei Town was once every ten years. The main task was to inspect various situations in Fenglei Town and collect taxes from Fenglei Town during the past ten years.
Because Fenglei Town is located on the westernmost edge of the Izumo Empire, it is far away from the capital of the Empire, and it takes three months to reach it, so the Empire will send an envoy to visit once every ten years.
The time when the royal envoys arrived, it became the most important day in Fenglei Town.
When the royal envoys leave, they will bring their children to the Royal Academy to study.
Therefore, Yang Teng was included in the list of the Yang family's envoys.
The important task of welcoming the envoys this year will be received by the Wang family, which is why the Wang family is responsible for hosting this year's competition.
According to previous standards, Yang Wudi sent someone to send the tax that the Yang family should pay to the Wang family long ago. Today's only task is to welcome the messenger, let Yang Teng meet the messenger, and then follow the messenger to the capital.
The old man warned Yang Teng many times that he must have a good attitude when welcoming the messenger, and leave the best impression on the messenger. Only by studying at the Royal Academy in the future can he succeed.
To the east of Fenglei Town, a road leads to the distance.
At this end of the road, the heads of the four major families and the heads and faces of Fenglei Town are all in the list. According to their status, younger generations like Yang Teng can only stand at the end of the team.
Three days ago, a messenger reported in advance to inform Fenglei Town to make preparations in advance.
Before dawn, the team welcoming the envoy was waiting here, but two hours passed, and the shadow of the envoy did not appear on the road.
Seeing that it was almost noon, people were already waiting impatiently, and there was still no news ahead.
Wang Shian looked anxiously into the distance. He sent someone to find out the news from a hundred miles away. There is no news yet, so it seems that it will take a while.
"Are we making a big fuss? So many people have waited so long without seeing the messenger. It's better to wait in the town and wait for the messenger's news to come out to welcome you." Yang Teng whispered.
Yang Ningren glared at his son, "Don't talk nonsense! Everyone is waiting with peace of mind, but you talk too much! Besides, it was the same in the past. You can't make trouble just because you have one more this year!"
In the past, the strength of the Yang family was not included in the four major clans, and those who wanted to join the welcoming envoys had no chance. Now that they can stand here, Yang Ningren dare not complain.
If such remarks reach the messenger's ears, it will be fine! Yang Ningren warned Yang Teng to shut up.
Yang Teng said angrily, but he didn't agree with him. Isn't he just a messenger? If the imperial king arrived, Fenglei Town would not be able to welcome thousands of miles away.
No matter how unhappy in his heart, Yang Teng still had to wait in accordance with the rules.
Looking at Zhao Yihang, who was standing at the back of the Zhao family's team not far away, Yang Teng secretly smiled. This guy was too rigid, standing solemnly, expressionless as if a guard was standing guard.
Zhao Yilin looked a little impatient and looked at Yang Teng from time to time.
After returning from Wang's house, Zhao Yilin went to Yang's house every day, and she could always find various reasons to say that she had something to do with Yang Teng. The relationship between the two gradually changed without knowing it.
Finding Yang Teng looking over here, Zhao Yilin smiled slightly, and she knew that Yang Teng must be impatient.
Looking at Wang's side again, Wang Qi's body was as straight as a Dragon Spear in his hand, with the spirit of a young hero.
Yang Teng shook his head secretly. What's the use of Wang Qi and Zhao Yihang's performance. Neither of them was able to enter the top two of the competition, and they were destined to miss the chance to study at the Imperial Academy.
Li Guan, who was about to go to the capital with Yang Teng, had a calm expression on his face, and he could see that he was very proud at this time.
While Yang Teng was observing these people, someone rushed from a distance and went straight to Wang Shian, who was standing at the front of the greeting team.
"Open to Patriarch, the Royal Envoy team has come fifty miles ahead, please prepare Patriarch."
"Okay, you go down and rest." Wang Shian was full of energy, tidied his clothes, and shouted at the team welcoming the envoys: "Everyone, the latest news is coming from the front. The envoy team will be in Fenglei Town in fifty miles. Please prepare as soon as possible!"
Fifty li, will come soon, everyone hurriedly sorted their clothes, and checked each other where there was something wrong.
Yang Tengxin said that it was finally here.
Not long after, the dust was flying at the end of the road, and a team of people galloped from a distance.
"Everyone, please come forward with the old man to welcome the envoy!" Wang Shian shouted excitedly, and stepped forward to welcome him.
What a great style! Worthy of being a team of envoys representing the imperial royal family!
Even Yang Teng, who was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes in his previous life, nodded secretly.
Banners fluttered in the wind, and the envoy team ran wildly.
A uniform white horse, with a single horn on the top of the horse's head, and black curls growing on its four hooves, three inches from the ground and stepping into the air.
The knight riding on the horse has bright armor and bright swords and spears in his hands.
Too luxurious! Yang Teng was amazed. If nothing else, the horses these knights ride are rare animals. This is not an ordinary white horse, but a heterogeneous horse called a unicorn. It is said that the food for raising unicorns is Poly Ling Pill.
There are thousands of people in this team, and only a huge empire can have such resources. If it is replaced by the four major families of Fenglei Town, they cannot raise these unicorns together.
The welcoming team lined up on both sides of the road and greeted them under the leadership of Wang Shian.
Surprisingly, the envoy team did not stop, and the knight in front urged the unicorn to roar straight to Fenglei Town.
"Wang Shian leads the people of Fenglei Town to welcome the envoy to the holy driver." Wang Shian's voice was high-pitched and entered the middle of the team.
Under the **** of thousands of knights, there is a luxurious car in the middle of the team.
Four unicorns are pulling this car, and looking at it from a distance, this car is fascinating.
There are various gems inlaid outside the carriage, which shines dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Perceiving the slight aura fluctuations, Yang Teng's heart moved. This car is not easy! It is by no means as simple as looking at luxury. Those gorgeous gems have super defensive attributes. Countless such gems form an indestructible defense to protect this car tightly.
The driver of the car is a middle-aged strong man, sitting on the shaft like a tower.
Surprisingly, the driver is one-armed, holding the whip in his left hand.
Hearing Wang Shian's shout, the long whip in the hand of the one-armed driver moved slightly, the whip slapped loudly, and pulled the whip in the air.
After the crackling of the whip, the whole team was like a whole, no one made a single sound, but suddenly stopped, and the uniform movement was amazing.
The Yang family members who participated in the welcome envoys all looked at this team blankly, and compared with others, they knew that they were real earth leopards.
"Order of the messenger!" exclaimed the one-armed driver.
Wang Shian quickly stepped forward, "Little old man Wang Shian welcomes the envoy."
"According to the messenger's order, do not enter Fenglei Town, and all go to the Wang Family to rest! Please lead the way in front of the Wang Family Lord!"
Across the carriage, no one can see the dignity of the messenger.
Wang Shian was overjoyed immediately, and bowed and said, "Little old man, honorable order!"
Turning around and instructing the clansmen to quickly go back to arrange preparations to welcome the envoys, quickly adjust the welcome team, and lead the envoys to the Wang's house.
Fenglei Town is different from other places in the Izumo Empire. Although it is called a small town, it is the size of a small city in terms of scale.
But this small city does not have a manager like the lord.
In order to welcome the royal messenger once every ten years, there is a post building in Fenglei Town, which is usually taken care of by a special person, waiting for the messenger to arrive.
Today, the messenger did not go to the post house, but chose to stay in Wang's house.
This decision made Wang Shian extremely excited, and his old face was full of joy. This is a big event for the brilliance!
Good things that could not be asked for would actually fall on the Wang family, and Wang Shian was a little at a loss.
The people from the other three families and the powerhouses in Fenglei Town, naturally can only follow at the end of the team.
Thousands of knights rushed to the Wang Family, although the speed was much slower than before, but it still aroused dust in the sky.
This is a bitter to the people following the team.
The dust fell on her body, making her face ashamed and she did not dare to wipe it, let alone avoid it.
Before arriving at the palace, Yang Teng had already turned into an earth monkey.
During the march, Zhao Yilin came to Yang Teng calmly. Seeing Yang Teng's tragic situation, Zhao Yilin covered her mouth and tried not to laugh.
Yang Teng said softly: "Don't laugh at me either, see what you are now, I guess you can wash ten catties of soil when you go back and take a bath."
Of course the girl pays attention to the appearance that she hates dirty dust, Zhao Yilin quietly vomited, and her mouth was full of dust.
"You see, the Wang family seems to have been prepared long ago, as if they knew that the messenger was going to move into their home." Yang Teng pointed to the Wang Family Mansion Gate and said.
Zhao Yilin looked up, the Wang's mansion gate was lit and colorful, and the front of the mansion gate was already spotlessly cleaned. On both sides of the mansion gate stood strong children and respectful servants.
"Look at him, looking at this posture, the messenger is not easy to serve." Zhao Yilin frowned and said.
The brigade of men and horses filed into the palace, and Wang Shi'an shouted loudly to settle the envoy team.
The luxurious big car that the messenger was riding in kept entering the gate of the mansion and stopped before it came to the reception hall of the Wang family.
"Welcome the messenger to get off the car and rest, the little old man has already prepared everything." Wang Shian hurriedly came to the side of the cart, and his humble appearance made Yang Teng disgusted. Is this still the head of the family!
In any case, the Wang family is also one of the four major families in Fenglei Town. No matter how noble the messenger is, it will not stop there.
"Pop!" The one-armed driver put the whip and raised his hand to lift the door curtain of the carriage.
The fragrant wind came, and a slim figure appeared in Yang Teng's eyes.
The messenger is a woman?
Watching carefully, Yang Teng almost didn't vomit.
