Chapter 203 - Ye Lvhongji's identity
"It's not that these foreign merchants do not want to enter the Central Plains, but rather do not dare to enter because the living conditions of the people in the Central Plains are excellent." It's not that these foreign merchants do not want to enter the Central Plains, but rather, they do not dare to enter the Central Plains because the living conditions of the people in the Central Plains are excellent. the guide explained.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "So that's how it is. It seems like these so called foreign merchants don't really have many things they can take out."
The guide nodded. "Yes. It's purely because of the different regions that the items they produce are different. That's why they are novel. This is also the only selling point."
After casually chatting with the guide about the foreign merchants and the rumors, Ling Xiao lost interest because most of the so-called foreign merchants had come to Chidan to cheat and kidnap them.
Moreover, it was because the public security rules of Qi Dan were not as perfect as those of the Central Plains that they were given the opportunity to do whatever they pleased. If they dared to lie in the capital city of the Central Plains, they would definitely not meet a good end.
Two days passed in a flash. Ling Xiao followed the guide and finally stopped in front of a city wall.
Looking at the imposing city walls in front of him, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows. Although this city wall looked a little inferior to some of the capital cities in the Central Plains, Ling Xiao had not seen any city walls on his way here. At most, it was only a little more securely fenced up.
"You said that the Hongji's leader is inside this place?" Ling Xiao turned and asked.
Hearing that, the guide bowed his head and said respectfully, "Sect Master Ling is right, this is Master Hong Ji's residence."
Hearing that the guide had changed his title, Ling Xiao knew that his guess was not wrong.
Soon after, Ling Xiao started laughing out loud, under the suspicious and confused gaze of the guide, he slowly said: "I never expected Hongji's leader to be so well-hidden, then quickly bring me to experience his true identity."
Ling Xiao knew that the matter of him coming to find Ye Lvhongji had definitely reached his ears, but no one rejected his suggestion. Naturally, it was also Ye Lvhongji's idea.
Furthermore, this guide had followed Ye Lvhongji for dozens of years, so he should be considered the right-hand man of his faction. For such a person to personally lead the way for Ling Xiao, it was enough to show the high degree of attention Ye Lvhongji paid to him.
Ling Xiao did not have to wait for too long, the city wall's gate slowly opened, and following a creaking sound, the scene inside the city wall gradually appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
"Sect Master Ling, please!" A man dressed in the Soldiers of Qidan walked in front of Ling Xiao and greeted him respectfully.
Then, Ling Xiao noticed that there were rows of Soldiers standing neatly on both sides of the road, as if they were welcoming him.
"These are all daily activities?" Ling Xiao asked in confusion, he was just here to chat with Ye Lvhongji, there was no need for such a big commotion, right?
The guide replied with a smile, "Sect Master Ling, this is the team that Lord Hong Ji arranged to welcome you with."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but laugh. Although this Qi Dan person's life is arduous, but he still had to put in a good amount of face and effort. At least in terms of etiquette, he learnt a lot from the Central Plains people.
Following the paths that were filled with Soldiers s, Ling Xiao quickly arrived at a place that looked like a palace.
After getting off the horse, Ling Xiao saw that Ye Lvhongji was already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Sect Master Ling, you really came." Ye Lvhongji laughed and said.
Ling Xiao walked up the stairs to stand in front of Ye Lvhongji, and replied while laughing loudly: "Since you've already said so, then you naturally have to come pay a visit."
"Come! It's been a long two days, come in quickly and have a seat. " After saying that, Ye Lvhongji made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao did not hold back, laughed a little and then walked into the palace.
After entering, Ling Xiao looked around and observed his surroundings. Although the place was not grand and grand, it had a unique style and its taste was solemn and dignified. It was obvious that it was not the residence of an ordinary person.
"I didn't expect that. I almost thought that Hongji's leader was really just a nomad, a wild man in the desert." Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Ye Lvhongji and said.
Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji laughed out, "Sect Master Ling is too good at teasing. I am indeed a savage, what do you mean by almost thinking so?"
At this time, a servant brought up a tea-water and placed it on Ling Xiao's table.
"Let's try it and see. I wonder if the fragrant tea from the Central Plains will be able to satisfy Sect Master Ling's appetite." Ye Lvhongji said.
Ling Xiao was not courteous, after taking a few sips, he placed the teacup down and nodded: "Tea is good tea, water is also good water, although my skill in brewing tea is lacking a bit, but overall, it's still not bad."
"I don't expect the Sect Master Ling to praise me anymore. As long as it doesn't offend me, I am relieved." Ye Lvhongji said.
After hearing that, Ling Xiao quickly waved his hand and said: "Where did Hongji's leader say this, every place has the smell of another place, and being able to drink the Central Plains' fragrant tea at Chidan, I should be the one thanking you."
"Actually, Sect Master Ling has already guessed a bit of Ni Duan, right?" Ye Lvhongji suddenly said.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "This is just a personal feeling, because I have come into contact with the chieftain of Chidan, their views are only to ensure the food and shelter of their clansmen, they will not think too much about it, but the Hongji's leader is different. Their hearts are linked to the world, and such feelings are not something normal people can possess."
Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji laughed out loud, then nodded his head and said: "I have to say, Sect Master Ling's observation skills are detailed, at that time, I was already seen through, but I did not want to reveal my identity."
"What about now?" Ling Xiao laughed.
After a short period of silence, Ye Lvhongji nodded and said, "Now, I can naturally tell Sect Master Ling everything."
"Alright, I am all ears." Ling Xiao sat up straight and respected him enough.
After that, Ye Lvhongji told Ling Xiao everything about his true identity. It turned out that he was Qi Dan's emperor, and was also Qi Dan's master.
Upon hearing these words, although Ling Xiao was a little surprised, he did not reveal any expression on his face, and appeared extremely calm and collected. Because Ling Xiao had already guessed this outcome before.
Ye Lvhongji, on the other hand, had been observing Ling Xiao's facial expressions. When he saw Ling Xiao's calm appearance, he was unable to calm down.
