C122 The so-called 'smart people'

Two days later, the Situ Family was decorated with lanterns and flowers, it was filled with guests. There was no lack of gentry among these people, as well as representatives of the great powers and families.

Of course, with the close friendship between the five clans, most of the people who came here to congratulate the patriarch were the patriarchs of the clans. Even if the patriarch had something to do, he would send a heavyweight to congratulate them.

Amongst these congratulatory words, only two people had the most important identity. One of them was the well-known Eunuch Wei, who was also the eunuch that the current emperor relied on the most. Of course, the character and virtue of this eunuch was also very admirable.

His name could be said to be famous in the entire Soaring Dragon Continent, and no one did not know of him. But no one had ever seen him, and of course, the people who knew of his true identity and origins were only the people in charge of the clans, and although they were clear about it, they maintained a tacit understanding of each other and did not say a word.

His name was Huangfu Wuji and he was the current principal of the Honglong Empire. There was almost no power or nation who knew or knew any information about him and there were only two things that knew about him. One was that he was an old man and the other was that he was a man.

As for his appearance, age, cultivation method, cultivation method, and so on, these were all kept a secret. Of those that he had fought, there weren't many that were still alive.

Situ Qingtian had to personally go out to welcome these two important people who had rushed over from the imperial city. Therefore, Clan Head Situ Situ Qingtian put down everything in his hands and rushed out of the city to welcome the two of them.

Actually, the Eunuch Wei was not the only one who came here, at the same time, it was to pass on the Emperor's blessings to them. Furthermore, the Emperor had prepared a congratulatory gift to Situ Qingtian and his wife. However, on a whim, the Principal of the Capital Overwatch Council, who had not gone out for ten thousand of years, personally asked His Majesty to accompany him. Not only was the Eunuch Wei extremely surprised by this, even His Majesty the Emperor had repeatedly tried to beat around the bush in order to get more information about the situation, but up until the President had left the imperial capital, His Majesty had not been able to get even a single piece of news from the mouth of the supreme leader of the Surveillance Council. It was a pity that a few of his big red robes had been thrown in, causing His Majesty to feel extremely pained.

He had to admit, it was said that from top to bottom, the Imperial Overwatch Council was a tough nut to crack. Not only could the Steel Teeth kill enemies, they could also keep secrets. Even the subordinates of the Surveillance Council could do it without leaving a single word out, let alone this aloof and aloof Master Yuan.

Situ Qingtian waited outside the city for nearly an hour before he saw a carriage escorted by a group of cavalry soldiers from afar, bringing sand and dust with it as they quickly approached Situ Qingtian's group.

"Brother-in-law, don't underestimate those cavalrymen. They are all from the fifth dragon guard of Surveillance Council and all of them have extraordinary skills. Murong Kuanglong came to greet them in place of his father, then followed Situ Qingtian and waited outside the city. Seeing the distant cavalry, he opened his mouth and explained to Situ Qingtian.

"I say, big brother, I'm still the head of the family, right? I also know that this time, the cavalry leader is the Chief of the fifth branch, and even the Chief of the sixth branch is hiding in the Cavalry! " Situ Qingtian had a look of despise on his wife's big brother. The only good thing about him was that his naughty habit of showing off was too scary.

Think about it, from the ancestors of the Murong Family all the way to these descendants, which one of them is normal? Other than his own wife, Murong Fenghuang, who looked a little normal, of course, it was only on the outside.

"How do you know so much?" Murong Kuanglong asked in shock, why did he not know about this news? When he went back, he had to interrogate his father, make him do things, and even hide what he knew, it was truly not good enough.

"I'm the head of the family. What's more, that father-in-law of mine also knows about it. Did he not tell you?" Situ Qingtian said nonchalantly, all of these were explained in the advance letter from the Eunuch Wei, and those who knew of this were only the upper echelons of the Five Great Clans, it was impossible for others to know of these secretive things.

The other families were fine, but only a few representatives came to congratulate them. Even the host, the Situ Family, was only aware of these things, Situ Qingtian and the Great Clan Elder. Clearly, the intelligence work was done quite well.

"No!" Murong Kuanglong shook his head and said with a serious expression.

Alright, you'll know when you know it. Remember not to speak of it outside. Since Father-in-law has sent you here, you must not be afraid of me knowing about it. I will not hide it from you anymore. After all, Situ Qingtian was the master of a family, so there was still the tactful way to treat others.

"En!" Murong Kuanglong did not speak further, he pulled his horse to keep up with his brother-in-law, giving way to half a horse's body, and went up to welcome him.

During the course of their movement, the entire group naturally formed a unified imposing manner, and under this kind of imposing aura, it gave off a feeling of invulnerability. This kind of march was very magical, but those who knew the secrets of it all clearly knew that this should be the evolution of a mysterious array formation.

From this, one could see that not only was this team abnormally powerful in terms of individual capabilities, but they also had excellent coordination and battle formations. Most likely, even the empire's strongest army, the Dragon Battle Regiment, could not match up to them.

"Haha, I'll have to trouble Nephew Situ to wait a long time!" Eunuch Wei was the first to alight from the carriage, and the first to speak.

"No, no. Kid, you are juniors after all. Both of you are seniors to me. The etiquette that you should have cannot be wasted!" Situ Qingtian immediately dismounted and bowed. Among these people, one could be considered a good friend who was once his father. Although there were less interactions between them, they were definitely the kind of people who would go through fire and water when they had matters to attend to.

"You, ah, really look like your father. He is such a person, never lacking in manners, never lacking in brothers. What a pity, what a pity! " Another voice sounded out. Although Situ Qingtian had never seen this old man before, based on what the intelligence mentioned, after some thought, Situ Qingtian knew the identity of this person.

Situ Qingtian forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, and didn't reveal anything on the surface. Of course, Situ Qingtian did not mention the other party's name or title. Seeing this kind of action in the eyes of the Imperial Overwatch Council's Principal, he immediately had an even higher evaluation and appreciation of this young patriarch.

"Brother, this is Murong Badao's son, his name is Murong Kuanglong, you probably haven't seen him before! He rarely goes to the imperial capital to cause trouble. " Eunuch Wei was obviously very happy, and very talkative, introducing the people standing beside Situ Qingtian to the old man.

"Un, is your father, Murong Badao, alright? I heard he's here too? " The dean smiled amiably and asked this young man.

"Reporting to Senior, Father is currently in the city. He has specially dispatched a junior to welcome the two of you!" Murong Kuanglong was not an idiot, just now Situ Qingtian did not even mention his opponent's name and title, much less if he was stupid enough to run around on the train, if not he would have been chopped into pieces by his own father.

"You two seniors, please follow me into the city first. The banquet will be held tonight and there will be a few hours left. Please rest first, I will come personally tonight." Situ Qingtian stepped aside, indicating that everyone should return to the city first before talking.

"Alright, let's hurry up and enter the city. We still want to meet those old brothers of ours!" With a face full of hope, the dean turned around and entered the carriage, followed by Eunuch Wei.

Seeing that the other party was ready to set off, Situ Qingtian also mounted his horse and led the way with Murong Kuanglong by his side. The riders behind them were still maintaining their previous speed, following behind them unhurriedly, but their protection was still as tight as ever.

Just as Situ Qingtian was bringing everyone into the city to reminisce about the past, Gongsun Ze Tian also started to prepare for the dinner banquet.

Murong Fenghuang had already prepared four beautiful and generous female servants the day before. She had even told the four of them that if Third Young Master did something strange, they didn't have to make a fuss and could just do as they were told. At that time, she would remind them to write a note and instruct them to do what was required of them.

With Murong Fenghuang's precautionary measures, these four maids were not surprised at all, because the things they had encountered and wanted to do in the past two days were extremely strange.

First of all, a slip of paper would always appear mysteriously on the table. Although the words on the paper were really beautiful, they were certain that it wasn't written by their wife. However, because their wives had warned them in advance, they did not have many questions. They only followed the instructions written on the paper slip.

It was not an ordinary jacket, but a jacket with countless pockets on it. The pockets were all different in size, they did not care about the beauty, they did not care about the arrangement, and they only had one requirement, and that was' more ', the more the better, even if the pockets were all for them.

Thirdly, he wanted them to prepare some sacks. Of course, the more the better. The more, the better. Not only the gunny sack, he also had to find many burning sticks and bricks for himself. Furthermore, he had to secretly place them in a designated location.

As for how they would suddenly appear in front of him, although the four of them were not clear about it, but they knew that there were a lot of powerful people in the world, and those people were so powerful that they would probably not be discovered by the weak women.

However, the last two things surprised him. What was he going to do with his jacket in such a good banquet? Furthermore, a gunny sack had to be prepared. Could it be that the sack was supposed to be used to store items? But what about the poker and the brick?

Previously, when they heard the rumors, the four of them didn't believe that the third young master's room was haunted. But now that they thought about it, it was rather fitting. Although the four of them had a vague feeling that something was wrong, all of them chose to be silent 'smart people'.

What was a smart person? Can you answer all the difficult questions in the world? The truth was that people who could live for a long time were the smartest people. Even if they thought it through, they would never say it. Even if they knew, they would never say it. And the less you know, the longer you live. This is the truth.

Of course, he couldn't possibly not know anything. Those who didn't know anything would die in the end, and at that time, he would only be a scapegoat and an idiot. Therefore, the 'wise man' had to know what he was doing and why, but he had to tell others that he didn't know and didn't understand. Only by doing so could he live longer, and only by living could he continue to be a wise man.
