550 Opening Today, I’m Not Late, Am I? (2)
Bao Mingcheng’s expression did not change. He said softly, “We are all residents of Moon Viewing Town. I have to give you a gift.”
At this point, he said in a clear voice, “I haven’t reported it to Brother Deng. I’ve transferred Zhenyu and the others here to help in case anything goes wrong.”
As their names were being called by Bao Mingcheng, Bao Zhenyu and the others had to raise their heads and stand solemnly.
Deng Xiao, who had dismounted, nodded and said, “Alright.”
With that, he threw the reins aside.
Bao Zhenyu was naturally quick-witted enough to step forward and hold his horse.
The others hurried forward to lead the horses for the imperial guards.
“Deng Xiao, you’re a good soldier.”
It was unknown which general said in a low voice.
No matter who it was, no one had a lower rank than Deng Xiao.
Deng Xiao smiled and turned around. “Brother Bao, please.”
The Lord Bao from before was now Brother Bao.
Bao Mingcheng smiled and followed.
Xiao Lingshan, who was standing in front of the stone steps, chuckled and said, “I’ll introduce you to my colleagues in the Imperial City’s personal guards. Perhaps we can use our friendship in the future.”
Han Muye and Mu Wan naturally wouldn’t refuse and followed behind him.
“Brothers, please support Old Xiao. There’s nothing else to say. Old Xiao will book the entire Spring Snow Brothel tonight.”
Xiao Ling shouted, then pointed at Han Muye and Mu Wan. “These two juniors of mine came to the Imperial City to do business. They will need you to take care of them in the future.”
Han Muye and Mu Wan smiled and cupped their hands.
Xiao Lingshan pointed at the Red Armor general in the lead. “This is Zheng Cheng, the general of the Imperial City’s personal guards. He’s the one who arranges for the patrols in the upper city.”
Zheng Cheng looked to be in his sixties. His face was rosy and his beard was white. He took out a long saber with a smile.
“I’m just a martial artist with nothing much to show. This saber has some weight.”
Han Muye smiled and reached out to take it. Shao Datian, who was behind him, was also smart and quickly went forward to hold it.
This saber was indeed very heavy. Shao Datian lowered his arms slightly.
Zheng Cheng chuckled and stepped aside.
The Pill Destiny Pavilion had yet to open, so the people who came naturally had to wait to watch the ceremony.
“This is the Imperial City’s Left Spirit Guard, General Tao Wusen. This is the Imperial City’s 13th Battalion’s General Li Keshun. This is the patrol unit…”
After Xiao Lingshan’s introduction, these generals presented gifts.
They gave him gifts such as a dagger, a spear, and armor.
They were all good things, spiritual weapons at the very least, worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks.
However, Han Muye probably had no use for these things.
However, he smiled and thanked them one by one.
“This is…” Slightly stunned, Xiao Lingshan pointed at Bao Mingcheng.
“I’m Bao Mingcheng from the Defense Division. I live nearby, and I’m here to celebrate the opening of the Pill Destiny Pavilion.” Bao Mingcheng hurriedly held the jade box and said loudly.
“Defense Division, Gao Mingcheng.” Xiao Lingshan nodded and whispered.
Bao Mingcheng’s face lit up.
Han Muye did not reach out to take the jade box, nor did he look at what was inside. He said, “Thank you for helping me last time, Lord Bao.”
Earlier, he saw Bao Mingcheng leading a group of people across the street. It seemed like he had the intention to help.
Hearing Han Muye say that Bao Mingcheng had helped him out previously, Xiao Lingshan first frowned, then looked at Bao Mingcheng and nodded gently.
“As neighbors, it’s my duty,” Bao Mingcheng said as he handed a jade box to Shao Datian.
“Brother Datian, keep it first. It’s just a small token of joy.”
Shao Datian turned to see that Han Muye did not refuse. He hugged the dagger, sword, spear, and jade box and took a step back.
Bao Mingcheng smiled and retreated to the side.
Fortunately, the front of the shop was wide. Otherwise, no one would be able to stand there.
Xiao Lingshan turned to look at the covered plaque, then at Han Muye. “Is anyone else coming?”
No one else is coming, right? Han Muye thought.
In any case, he and Mu Wan did not know anyone in the city.
Lu Yuzhou was supposed to come, but he had emptied most of his courtyard. He wondered if this guy would deliberately not come today.
Actually, to Han Muye, it didn’t matter if anyone came to congratulate them on the opening of the shop.
As long as they didn’t come to cause trouble.
He thought about it and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, someone strode over from the door.
The person was wearing a Daoist robe, and two Daoist children followed behind him.
“The Changyun Alchemy House congratulates the Pill Destiny Pavilion on its opening.”
Daoist Changyun, who was dressed in a purple Daoist robe, walked forward with a smile. The two Daoist children behind him carried a few spiritual herbs.
Han Muye did not expect this person to come.
They were both alchemy cultivators, so Mu Wan stepped forward. Zuo Yuting hurriedly took the spiritual herbs and bowed to Daoist Changyun.
Daoist Changyun chuckled and instructed Zuo Yuting to work hard in the Pill Destiny Pavilion. Then he retreated to the side and prepared to watch the ceremony.
At the side, he could already hear the surrounding people discussing the identity of the generals. He could not help but feel a little surprised.
Is this Pill Destiny Pavilion actually related to the Imperial City’s guards? he wondered.
The Red Flame Army consumed a lot of pills!
Upon hearing Xiao Lingshan’s name, Daoist Changyun felt even more fortunate that he had made it in time.
He might have a chance to get close to General Xiao later.
“I’m Daoist Changyun from Changyun Alchemy House. Brother, you are…” He turned to look at Bao Mingcheng.
Bao Mingcheng cupped his fists and said, “Bao Mingcheng from the Defense Division.”
Defense Division?
They were either generals or officials. The background of the Pill Destiny Pavilion was not simple!
Earlier, he saw the people from the Alchemy Division and the officials watching by the roadside. Is this to maintain order?
On the side of the road, a few young men gathered around Bao Zhenyu.
“Brother Yu, the background of this shop is not small. General Xiao is personally receiving guests.”
A young man said in a low voice, “Your uncle is the smartest. If he builds a relationship with General Xiao, in the future…”
Bao Zhenyu glared at him and interrupted him, but his expression was relaxed.
