Chapter 383: First Meeting
Chapter 20:
The county chief and all the governors asked for an audience.
Xuan Yi's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard the sounds outside.
Although Xuan Yi, a walking Xuan Yi, could barely afford the "asking for an audience" from those big shots, but they chose to ask for an audience at the moment when he had just finished his seclusion. It was a coincidence, and Xuan Yi believed that it meant some kind of threat. .
Among the big shots in Star City, except for some who are old and immortal but have retired to some extent, they are basically the Star Lord, the head of the county, the walking, and the six governors. Among them, the six major silver families are basically divided. The authority of the six tribes is clearly defined on the political map formed. In addition, the positions of the county chief and the ANBU have always been quite fluid. It is basically the last plus point. Any Silver family, If he could obtain the position of ANBU governor or Star City County Chief outside his own sphere of influence, he would be vaguely superior to other Silver families.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Xing Guinian, the head of Xingcheng County, is the mother of Xingma Lao, the governor of the Ministry of Justice. The two belong to the same Baiyin family, which has pushed their family to the most prominent position in Xingcheng today, followed by Xing Gujian, the governor of the Ministry of War. Together with Anbu Governor Xing Huai Yao, the two brothers control the most powerful violent organization in Star City, and no one dares to take advantage of them.
The remaining tribes are sitting in rows, but the number one silver family in Star City is not any of the ones mentioned before, but the one that seems to be the least conspicuous.
Xing Shouzhong, the governor of the Ministry of Personnel, is responsible for the assessment, review, promotion and demotion of all officials in Star City. The Ministry of Personnel ranks first among the six departments in Star City, only slightly behind the Anbu, which has a longer history and is more deeply rooted.
But - Lord Star Lord and the Governor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs belong to the same silver family, and everyone believes and understands it.
The Governor of the Ministry of Personnel is Lord Star Lord’s most loyal dog.
Xuan Yi walked forward quietly, and the door opened to both sides. Xing Jizhi's gentle and courteous face appeared there. Xuan Yi said concisely and concisely: "Lead the way." Xing Jizhi looked at Xuan Yi's dress and carefully considered the words
. Words: "Your Excellencies are waiting in the living room, but before that, Your Highness still has time to bathe, change clothes, and eat a little." Xuan subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he looked at the clothes
he was still wearing to participate in the Thousand Stars Trial She was still wearing Xing Jizhi's management department uniform outside her tights, and she finally nodded silently.
At this time, Xingcheng's efficiency was once again reflected. Xuan Yi looked at the flower-like maids who appeared without his knowledge, and wanted to know what Xing Jizhi did under his order to act cheaply, but In the end, he refused the request of the four elf maids to serve and bathe, although he knew that if he wanted to alleviate the suspicion of the big shots, he should behave more like a fifteen-year-old boy.
However, Xuan Yi has been able to reach this point because he doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy at all.
Milk bath salts and essence are added to the boiling bath soup. It is not so much bath water, but it can actually be scooped up and put into a cup to drink as tea.
Xuan Yi soaked his body in the bath with milky white foam and felt every pore in his body opening slightly. It was so comfortable that one could almost moan. With the ability of pharmacist Liuli, Xuan Yi could clearly judge that The fragrance ingredients added to this bath soup not only have soothing and recuperative effects, but also have some aphrodisiac properties.
I just don’t know if this is a traditional program enjoyed by big shots, or if it is an intentional move aimed at his new career.
But anyway, Xuan Yi's body is now invulnerable to all poisons except Qixi Ziwei itself.
Since there were still big shots waiting outside, Xuan Yi did not dare to really soak in the bath for several hours. Twenty minutes later, Xuan Yi, who had changed his clothes and was wearing a somewhat fluffy robe, was led by Xing Jizhi. Arriving at the living room burning with snow-white light beams.
Sure enough, several big shots were already waiting here. Except for the former governor Xing Huai Yao, the remaining Xuan Yiyi had seen Xing Guinian from a distance, and even their faces were blurry, let alone the other walking adults. , but with his current status, it was inconvenient for him to ask them personally one by one about each other's origins, so he could only return the salute while they watched him walking slowly and stood up to salute.
Although there is a slight difference in rank between Xing Xing, the county chief, and the governor, they both belong to the highest level of Xing City, so their etiquette is relatively frugal. Xuan Yi stood at the door after watching Xing Jizhi lead him into the living room. Outside, he had no intention of going in at all, so he couldn't help but bravely walked in and sat on the main seat that had been vacated for him.
After all, this is his official residence, and the people in front of him are all guests no matter how high their status is.
Or is it that except for the county chief Xing Guinian, none of them are as tall as him?
There was only a mahogany square table between the host and guest seats. There were seven seats on the opposite side, but he was alone on his side.
The woman sitting in the middle looks to be no more than middle-aged. Her appearance is average among the Xingcheng people who are known for their beauty. Her silver eyes are gentle and peaceful, but Xuan Yi has no intention of looking down on her at all, not only because of her. That intangible aura of being calm and self-confident, and because this is the only familiar character opposite him.
Xing Guinian, the head of Xingcheng County, the second strongest person in Xingcheng whose lifespan is unknown, is also the mother of Xingma Lao, the governor of the Ministry of Punishment, and the grandmother of Xing Hemian and Xing Hedu.
To her left is a skinny old man with a stooped stature. He looks a full head shorter than Xing Gui. Only his eyes are bright and slender, as if to add the finishing touch. On one side, and to the left is an acquaintance, Xing Huai. Yao's solemn and solemn face was like a stone statue. His eyes looked at him without a trace of wandering, but also without any emotion.
The appearance of the one on the far left is very similar to that of Xing Huai Yao. Not only are they similar in height, but they also appear to be about the same age. The only flaw is that the governor, who is also tall and dignified, has sparse silver hair on his head. He obviously has signs of baldness, but Not to mention Star City's medical capabilities and various magical potions with different effects, considering the state of the governor, it is not difficult to regenerate a severed limb, but he has not allowed his silver hair to grow again.
Although Xuan Yi had never heard of a governor with sparse hair due to his obscurity, if he guessed correctly, this person should be Xing Huai Yao's clan brother, Governor Xing Gujian of the Ministry of War.
On the right side of Xing Guinian, there was a handsome middle-aged man who was so stern that he was almost harsh. There was a faint evil intention on his body. When Xuan looked at him, he felt inexplicably familiar. Just based on his intuition, he kind of believed him. It was Xingma Lao, the governor of the Ministry of Punishment.
Without him, just because his temperament is so similar to that of the two brothers Xing Hemian and Xing Hedu.
But there was one thing that Xuanyi couldn't figure out, and that was how the plain-looking county chief could give birth to such a handsome son, and how good-looking her husband should be.
Further to the right of Xingma Lao, there are two beautiful women who make Xuan Yi's eyes light up. They both look young. Except for Xing Guinian, these big shots are wearing a pure white dress. In addition, the other governors all wore silver cloaks embroidered with dark stars.
Originally, it was an extremely embarrassing thing for women to wear matching clothes. After all, it is not terrible to wear matching clothes. Whoever is ugly is embarrassed. However, these two women look to be about the same age. They were both in their most beautiful years in their twenties and less than thirty, but they can combine the same The clothes give off a completely different feeling.
One is cold and dignified, while the other is much gentler, even a little bit uncontrollable, but it makes people feel pitiful.
After Xuan Yi glanced at the seven people, he looked at Xing Guinian.
Although this was not the first time he had met a big shot like Xing Guinian, it was an unprecedented first time with such an equal attitude.
Therefore, the young man's voice was surprisingly neither humble nor overbearing, neither urgent nor slow.
"Excuse me, is it the Governor of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Hoshikihae, who is not here?"
