Liu Feng raised his hand slightly and showed the four small words on the hilt of the sword.
In fact, there is a big difference between the Emperor's Sword and the Imperial Sword that Liu Feng holds.
The Imperial Sword was bestowed by the emperor on his subjects. It represented imperial power to a large extent, but it was not entirely imperial power.
But the Emperor's Sword is different. The Emperor's Sword itself is a sword used by the emperor.
You can see how high its gold content is.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has awarded three Imperial Swords one after another.
In the hands of three people.
One of them was on the Governor of Youzhou.
After seeing Ru Zhen personally coming to see these guys, the general immediately took it for granted that this was an imperial sword.
It's not his fault. After all, the hilt of the sword was in Liu Feng's hand. All he could see were these guys, so he naturally thought it was the imperial sword.
But just these four small words made the flag officer feel a chill on his back and he couldn't help but take a step back.
In an instant, cold sweat was running down his cheeks.
Think about the route Liu Feng and his group took. Although they are close to the capital, they are not there yet.
The direction comes from Youzhou, so it can only be the governor of Youzhou.
Xia Lihong, the governor of Youzhou, was a member of the team left by the previous emperor to the current Emperor Shunde, so the new emperor rewarded him with the imperial sword after he ascended the throne.
Youzhou has always been an important source of tax revenue for the entire Dali Dynasty. It guards the border and its status cannot be underestimated.
Although he was only a local governor, he was a real frontier official.
Could it be that the Governor of Youzhou is inside?
In fact, essentially speaking, a governor is not a particularly important official position in the eyes of Qixinglou, but Xia Lihong is different. This guy is deeply loved by the emperor.
The positions of Inspectors are all appointed by His Majesty himself.
"Could it be... Could it be that Lord Xia is going to the capital?"
The flag officer immediately began to stutter.
"Humph, I didn't say who it was."
Liu Feng glanced at the general officer coldly. Now he regretted that he should not have been so soft-hearted just now.
Isn’t there someone taking the blame now?
The flag-gatherer glanced at Song Linger.
Judging again, based on her age, this lady is indeed very young, but Xia Lihong is only in his forties.
Having a wife and a concubine is normal.
Even if he is from the Seven Stars Tower, so what? After all, he is not a high-ranking official above the rank of prosecutor.
What's more, Xia Lihong is the emperor's man, and they have never seen what Xia Lihong looks like, let alone who Xia Lihong's family members are.
He bowed helplessly.
"I am sorry for disturbing you because I didn't recognize you."
"But since it's Lord Xia who's coming to the capital, I wonder if... if it's possible for Lord Xia to come out and see us so we can discuss it."
"Give up one room, and only one upper room will be enough."
As a general flag bearer, he definitely doesn't have the courage to rob others.
But it won’t work if there is no room.
Even if you, Xia Lihong, hold the imperial sword, you still have to be reasonable.
On weekdays, there is no one here and the inn is empty, so you can occupy all the rooms. But now, new people have come, and you are still occupying all the top-level rooms by yourself.
This doesn't make sense.
We are all officials in the same dynasty, so we can't show no mercy to each other.
"let……."
Song Linger didn't want to cause any more trouble, and even more so didn't want to bring trouble to Liu Feng, so she immediately agreed to give up the room, and then looked at Liu Feng to confirm what he meant.
Because at this time Song Linger also discovered one thing, that is, this kid did not recognize Liu Feng, and did not know that the sword in Liu Feng's hand was the Emperor's Sword.
So right now, among the people present, Song Linger has the highest identity and status, so it is natural that she should say this.
"Thank you, ma'am."
The general officer no longer had the arrogance he had just now, and now spoke politely.
He didn't want to feel so aggrieved, but the person in his hand was holding the imperial sword, and it was his power to kill him.
What's more, he just wanted to use someone else's maid to serve others, which gave him a reason to kill him. He was simply putting his head on someone else's sword.
Just at this moment, the sound of carriages and horses came from outside the post station.
Amidst the crowd, a figure appeared at the door of the inn.
This man was obviously a eunuch. His face was covered with thick powder and there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
"Greetings, Eunuch Yang."
Several small flag officers guarding the door immediately knelt down to greet them.
Eunuch Yang raised his hand lightly.
"What's all the commotion upstairs? We've already come in, but the room isn't ready yet?"
As he spoke, Eunuch Yang looked around and his eyes happened to fall on Liu Feng's face. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Why is it this guy?
This person was none other than one of the great helpers of the Tiandihui in the court. On that day at Linghu Zheng's residence, they thought they had won and even asked the leader of the guild for Liu Feng's woman.
He naturally knew Liu Feng, but Liu Feng didn't know Eunuch Yang at the moment.
If it weren't for Liu Feng's destruction, the world would have changed hands long ago. Liu Feng defended Siwa Village and ruined their big plan.
Whether it was Eunuch Yang or other people from the Tiandihui, they all wanted to catch Liu Feng and skin him alive.
I didn't expect that I would meet Liu Feng here.
"Father-in-law...this..."
Several small flag officers looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea how to answer Eunuch Yang's question.
