Chapter 9259 Strange
It was getting dark, and a carriage stopped in front of the inn. Zhao Hai and Xiang'er walked out of the inn and got on the carriage directly. This carriage belonged to the city lord's palace. The carriage was specially brought to pick up Zhao Hai and Xiang'er. After the two got on the carriage, the carriage was immediately driven by the driver and headed straight for the city lord's palace.
After a while, they arrived at the lord of the city. The coachman asked the two of them to get out of the car. A servant led Zhao Hai to the lord of the city. After a while, the two of them arrived at the door of a study room. Yue Tao was standing there. Standing in front of the study door to greet the two, Gao Yifeng and Sun Peng stood beside Yue Tao.
Zhao Hai looked at this Yue Tao. This Yue Tao looked to be in his thirties. He was slightly fat, but his whole person had a sense of shrewdness. Now he was standing with a smile on his face. There was a very cordial feeling there. Generally speaking, this person gave Zhao Hai a very good feeling.
Yue Tao is also looking at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looks very ordinary, without any aura on his body. His whole person feels ordinary, very ordinary. If he has any temperament, That was the temperament of a scholar, which was very rare. Now Zhao Haizheng was looking at him with a smile on his face, which also made him feel a sense of intimacy.
However, Yue Tao was also someone who had seen big scenes, so he came to his senses immediately. He laughed loudly at Zhao Hai and said: "Mr. Zhao Hai, you have been here in Blackwater City for a few days. This time I've been busy with business for the past few days, so I haven't been able to meet you. , Sir, please forgive me."
When Zhao Hai heard what Yue Tao said, he couldn't help but smile and said: "There, the City Lord is too polite. The City Lord has so many things to do every day, so why not? It's something that an idle person like me can't compare to. It just so happens that I have a good rest these days, and I am not afraid of the City Lord’s jokes. I was very tired some time ago.”
Yue Tao couldn’t help laughing when he heard what Zhao Hai said. He knew. What Zhao Hai was talking about was that he was in Qingshi Territory He didn't care about what happened there. He smiled and said: "Sir, it's okay if you don't blame me. Please, sir, let's go inside and talk." Zhao Hai also smiled and said: "City Lord, please." After saying that, the two of them went to the house first. Walking inside, Gao Yifeng, Sun Peng and Xiang'er followed behind.
Soon they entered the room. After the guests and hosts sat down, a servant immediately brought tea to Zhao Hai and Yue Tao. Sun Peng stood behind Yue Tao, and Gao Yifeng stood Near the door, Xiang'er was also standing behind Zhao Hai. Sun Peng picked up the tea bowl, asked Zhao Hai to take a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and then said: "The lord has already agreed to the customs clearance document, sir. It has been approved. Sir, it will start tomorrow. , you can move around freely in our Black Stone Territory. I’m sorry to have delayed you for so many days.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said: “There, with my current reputation, the Black Stone Territory is capable. I'm very grateful for allowing you to enter. I dare to blame you. The city lord is too polite. "Zhao Hai didn't mind talking about the Bluestone Leader. He didn't do anything wrong in that matter. That's why he said that.
Yue Tao really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would mention that matter directly. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and said: "Sir, you are joking. What happened with Qingshi Leader is not your fault." , How can we prevent Sir from entering the Black Stone Territory? Sir, you are overly worried."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, cupped his fist at Yue Tao and said: " Thank you City Lord for being fair. I really don’t blame you for what happened to the Qingshi Leader. That’s all, don’t mention it. I would also like to thank you City Lord for hosting a banquet for me today. I am very grateful.” Zhao Hai is not deeply grateful. He said, no matter what, he was in the Black Stone Territory now, and he always talked about the Bluestone Territory, which was indeed a bit unreasonable, so Zhao Hai stopped talking.
Yue Tao looked at Zhao Hai, then smiled slightly and said: "Sir, he is really a cheerful person, and Yue is also a good person. There is no need to be too polite, sir. He represents Qingmu." It is also an honor for my Black Stone Territory to bring you to travel around the Taoist martial arts world. Of course, I will fulfill my friendship as a landlord. "< br>
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. I am in the lower reaches of the Taoist martial arts world. I just want to find more ways to deal with ghosts and monsters. I don't deserve the city lord to be so polite. I am in Black Stone. During the period of leadership, you will definitely abide by the laws here in Blackstone Territory. Please rest assured. Of course, if there are people in Blackstone Territory, You can also let me solve any ghost-related matters. I actually like to solve these things, because only by fighting with ghosts more can we understand ghosts better and find a way to deal with them once and for all.”
When Yue Tao heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha Haha, sir, you are really quick to talk. Well, I won’t say anything more. It’s getting late and all the guests are here. Sir, please.” After saying that, he stood up, and Zhao Hai also stood up, along with a few others. We walked out together and went directly to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where the banquet was held, and all the other guests arrived.
This banquet actually has no meaning. It is just to express an attitude to the outside world. Zhao Hai is welcome in the Blackstone Territory. After all, Yue Tao's identity is not a secret in the Blackstone Territory. He invited Zhao Hai to a banquet in public. This in itself has sent a very positive signal, and I believe that people here in the Blackstone Territory will understand what this means. After the banquet, Zhao Hai and Xiang'er returned to the inn. The next day, Zhao Hai and Xiang'er left Heishui City directly. After all, they had been delayed in Heishui City for so many days, and it was time to leave. Yue Tao was not surprised by Zhao Hai's departure. Zhao Hai said goodbye to him last night. He had known about it for a long time, but he did not come to see Zhao Hai off. After all, his status was higher than Zhao Hai's. There is really no need to send Zhao Hai off.
However, after Zhao Hai left, Gao Yifeng still came to Yue Tao's study, saluted Yue Tao and said: "Master, Zhao Hai has left." Gao Yifeng did not He just came to tell Yue Tao the news. He actually had other things to ask, but he didn't say anything.
Yue Tao nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Uncle Gao, I understand." After saying that, when he saw that Gao Yifeng had not left, he couldn't help but look up at Gao Yifeng. When he saw Gao Yifeng's expression He couldn't help but be stunned as he hesitated to speak. Then he understood what Gao Yifeng meant, and he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "What? Uncle Gao is wondering why I didn't mention that matter to Zhao Hai? He seems to be very interested in dealing with ghosts. , then I should I should have mentioned that matter, but I didn’t, so you feel strange, right?”
Gao Yifeng nodded, and then said in a deep voice: “Yes, Master, I do feel that way.” It's very strange, why didn't you tell Zhao Hai? What about that matter? Zhao Hai has already said tomorrow that he just wants to deal with more things related to ghosts, and that matter is indeed related to ghosts, and it is also related to my entire Yue family. Why doesn't the young master tell him? Say what?”
Yue Tao sighed softly and said: "It is precisely because this matter concerns my entire Yue family that I did not tell Zhao Hai what kind of person Zhao Hai is. We still don't understand. Let's talk to him now." Talking about this matter will not do us any good, and this matter must be decided by the eldest brother. He is now the head of the Yue family. If I tell Zhao Hai this matter, it will be equivalent to replacing the Yue family. The decision was made and it was very inappropriate.”
When Gao Yifeng heard what Yue Tao said, he was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but nodded, and then saluted Yue Tao and said: "Yes, Master, I understand, then I'll go down. "Yue Tao nodded, and then Gao Yifeng turned around and retreated, but Yue Tao turned his head and glanced in the direction outside the city, murmuring: "I hope this matter can be resolved soon." After speaking, he sighed again, and then turned his attention again. He focused on the document in front of him.
Of course Zhao Hai didn't know this. After leaving Blackwater City, he wandered around the Blackstone Territory. However, what surprised Zhao Hai was that when he arrived at the cities in the Blackstone Territory, People in each city were very polite to him, and the city lords of each city would even personally host banquets to entertain him. Their enthusiasm made Zhao Hai a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
However, he didn’t ask any more questions. He just learned about the situation from the side, and finally he understood that the problem was with Yue Tao. Yue Tao turned out to be the biological brother of the head of the Yue family. He personally came forward to entertain Zhao Hai. It would be unreasonable for others not to entertain Zhao Hai. That's why the city lords of the cities in the Black Stone Territory were so enthusiastic.
After Zhao Hai learned about this matter, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that these people entertained him so much because of this. This really surprised him, but he also He didn't say anything. If the city lords were willing to entertain him, they would entertain him. If there were any ghost incidents in those cities that were not resolved, he would also help. So slowly, Zhao Hai's reputation really spread in the Blackstone Territory. .
Before, in the Blackstone Territory, all the rumors were about Zhao Hai's reputation as being powerful and easy to kill. However, after this period of time, Zhao Hai's reputation in the Blackstone Territory has really slowly improved, and Everyone in the Black Stone Territory also knows that Zhao Hai is really good at dealing with ghosts. Many ghosts that are very troublesome have been taken care of by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also discovered one thing in the Black Stone Territory, that is, there seem to be a lot of things about ghosts and monsters in the Black Stone Territory, more than in other places. Whether it is the Cyanwood Territory or the Blue Stone Territory, they have Although there are ghosts and monsters happening, there are definitely not as many as here in the Black Stone Territory, which makes Zhao Hai a little strange.
And Zhao Hai also discovered one thing, that is, in the Black Stone Territory, there are more Taoist temples and more Taoist priests than in the Green Wood Territory and Blue Stone Territory, and the strength of these Taoist priests is very good, which is also true. This is a strange place in Zhao Hai. There are many Taoist temples and Taoist priests, so there should be few ghosts and monsters. However, there are really many ghosts and monsters here in the Black Stone Territory. This is the strangest place.
