Chapter 33

Dong Dong Dong.

The door knocks.

"Come in."

Come out of the house and respond.

The voice is very tired and lazy. It doesn't sound energetic.

Xu Ning gently pushed the door open and walked in.

I saw a middle-aged man with half white hair leaning on a wide back seat covered with pure white felt.

He held his head up and closed his eyes, and the outside sun shone on his face along the window.

At the same time, on the table in front of him, a censer was burning, and there was a faint smoke with a soft fragrance.

Next to the bookcase, there was a birdcage in which a green bird, like this man, was sleeping with his eyes closed.

Next to the birdcage and along the window, there are several pots of flowers and plants, which look the same as those in the yard.

Even though it is almost late winter, the flowers and plants are still delicate and green, not afraid of the cold.

"Chen Xiaowei."

Xu Ning closed the door and stood still: "I'm Xu Ning. I've come to report."

"Xu Ning?"

Hearing Xu Ning's self-report, Chen Ren, who had closed his eyes, opened a crack.

"This is my ID card."

With that, Xu Ning handed over his identity card and green card.

Chen Ren glanced and didn't mean to take over.

"I see."

With that, Chen Ren slowly straightened up and opened his eyes completely.

But the weariness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"You're lucky to come to our Fengliu Lane guard post." Chen Ren said, "our Fengliu lane is very stable, and we don't need to be busy at ordinary times. Except for the occasional collective instructions from the top, we'll just stay in the guard post. As for the following miscellaneous things, just leave them to the city guard. There's nothing to worry about."

"I heard that you newcomers seem to have the pressure of evaluation and assessment. If you want to practice martial arts yourself, you can't come to the guard post. We don't have a set of points here. Your salary is also correct."

Chen Ren's words made Xu Ning feel a little strange.

It seems that I have been assigned to this Fengliu Lane guard post. I don't need to do anything. I just wait for my salary to make a living.

For a time, Xu Ning felt that he had a deviation in his cognition of the group of black armour guards.

Perhaps, there are not only elites in this group, but also some old Youzi who are fooling around.

"Well, go down."

Chen Ran waved his hand, as if he had said these words to Xu Ning, and he had no strength.

Seeing this, Xu Ning couldn't ask any more questions, so he quit directly.

Out of the door, Xu Ning felt a little tired. Looking at the vibrant yard in winter, he felt that the guard post in Fengliu lane was not vibrant.

"Lord Xu."

At this time, the city guard who led Xu Ning in came over.

"What else can I do for you?"

The city guard waited beside Xu Ning.

"Where is my study?"

Xu Ning asked.

The study is equivalent to a personal office in the post.

"In the next yard."

The city guard pointed.

Xu Ning looked in that direction and found a small door leading to other yards behind the green trees.

"Take you there?"

Cheng Wei asked cautiously.

"Not now. I just want to go out now."

Xu Ning felt that there was no vitality here. He also took a look at the environment under the rule.

"Yes."

The city guard nodded.

Xu Ning walked in front, followed by the city guard.

"Chen Xiaowei seems to like raising flowers and birds very much. He arranged the flowers and plants in the yard?"

Xu Ning's mouth and nose are full of flower fragrance.

This kind of colorful flowers blooming in cold winter is certainly not cheap.

"Chen Xiaowei likes flowers and plants, but these flowers and plants are bought by Dayuan firm."

Chengwei answered truthfully.

Xu Ning stopped: "Dayuan firm?"

"That's right." Chengwei nodded, "Dayuan commercial firm is a very powerful chamber of Commerce, which is very powerful in our Kangyun county. The core of their branch in Kangyun county is in Fengliu lane."

"Listen to you, this Dayuan firm is still an outsider?"

Xu Ning grasped the information revealed in Chengwei's words.

Chengwei nodded: "yes, it is said that the headquarters of Dayuan commercial firm is in Yunying city."

"Cloud Eagle City..."

Xu Ning's eyes moved.

Yunying City, the capital of Feiyun Prefecture, is the foundation of Yuansheng sect.

It seems that there may be a connection between this Dayuan firm and yuanshengzong.

"This Dayuan firm can buy these playthings for Chen Ren. It seems that it has an unusual relationship..."

Xu Ning was also aware of the relationship between his immediate boss and the foreign chamber of Commerce.

"What's your name?"

Xu Ning thought about it and looked at the city guard again.

The city guard was asked by Xu Ning, and his heart was suddenly filled with joy from the corners of his eyes.

"Lord Hui, my name is Feng Sigua."

As a city guard without any background, if Xu Ning keeps it in mind, it will be of great benefit to his future.

So when asked about his name, Feng Sigua quickly answered.

"Feng Sigua..."

Xu Ning thinks the name is very innovative.

Even in this era when the name is casually given, the name Feng Sigua is still quite unique.

Xu Ning wrote down the name and continued to walk outside the post.

Feng Sigua followed Xu Ning half a step behind him, very measured.

After leaving the post, Xu Ning suddenly realized something. He turned back and asked, "why do I only see Chen Xiaowei and other colleagues in the post?"

"Lord Hui Xu, other adults in the guard post seldom come to be on duty." Feng Sigua said something. Because it involves other black armour guards, he replied cautiously, "our Fengliu lane is usually very stable and no major events happen. Usually, the city guard is responsible for patrolling and handling disputes. Adults rarely need to do anything, so they don't come at all."

"Then why is colonel Chen still working here?"

Xu Ning asked again.

Feng Sigua hesitated and finally lowered his voice: "Chen Xiaowei came here not to do bad work, but to raise flowers."

After hearing this, Xu Ning knew it immediately.

At this time, Xu Ning had a general sense of the post in Fengliu lane.

When I was in taojiazhuang, everyone around me was trying to live. In this Fengliu Lane post, life seems to be a tiring thing.

Xu Ning no longer spoke, but was led by Feng Sigua around the Fengliu Lane area.

Turning around, they came to a street.

The streets are lined with shops.

Silk shop, medicine shop, jewelry shop, calligraphy and painting shop

All kinds, everything.

Although unlike the previous world, all kinds of goods have fixed business districts, at this time, it is also prosperous.

"It's so lively..."

Xu Ning said to himself.

Feng Sigua came up: "it is said that when heijiawei just took over Kangyun County thirty years ago, the population of the county was less than 20000. Now, thirty years later, it has multiplied and multiplied, and with the foreign population, it is close to 100000. If it were not for heijiawei, the people would have to suffer from war, not enough to eat and wear."

Xu Ning nodded. The black armour guard did have achievements.

It's just that Xu Ning's experience in Fengliu Lane post just now makes it difficult to personally experience the painstaking efforts of black armour guard at that time.

"You said Dayuan firm, where do they have their industry? Take me to have a look."

Xu Ning wants to see it.

"Strictly speaking, 70% of the industries in this street are owned by Dayuan firm."

Feng Sigua's words surprised Xu Ning.

"In addition to this street, does Dayuan firm have any other industries?"

Xu Ning asked.

Feng Sigua thought for a while: "yes, there are three commercial streets in Fengliu lane, six tenths of which are the industries of Dayuan commercial firm. Moreover, not only our Fengliu lane, but also the stores of Dayuan commercial firm in other areas of the county, but they are not as large as our Fengliu Lane."

"This Dayuan firm is also a big force in Kangyun County..."

Xu Ning began to have an illusion that in Fengliu lane, it seemed that Dayuan firm was the boss.

Here is full of vitality, while in the post, the state is completely opposite.

"Leave the goods, take the money and go away!"

Suddenly, not far in front of the street, there was a scolding sound.

"Go and have a look."

Xu Ning held the knife handle behind his waist and walked quickly.
