Doomsday Code

Chapter 459 Meeting

With the entry of the squad leader of the Central Corps and others, the small reception banquet began.

The banquet did not last long, and during this process Huidun took Chen Cheng to explain to him some things that need to be paid attention to in high-end banquets.

"You must remember all of this. When you go to the capital, you will definitely have to attend banquets. I will tell you in advance about all the banquets you can attend.

At the banquet, apart from simple greetings, remember not to respond to anything others say, otherwise you will fall into the trap those guys have dug for you and you won’t be able to climb out of it.”

Huidun was also giving Chen Cheng a crash course. He had never thought that Chen Cheng was not from the aristocratic circle at all, and he didn't know anything about etiquette.

Entering the royal capital means entering the center of power of the kingdom. There are no laws here, nor the contract he mentioned.

His every word and action, especially his words and actions towards those nobles, can be regarded as some kind of agreement between Chen Cheng and them.

In the end, Chen Cheng only remembered one thing: listen more, watch more, and talk less.

As long as they don't talk nonsense, no matter what cunning schemes they have, they will be useless.

The Central Corps paved the way for the rest of the journey, and nothing unexpected happened along the way.

When they arrived at the royal capital, it was the first time for Chen Cheng to come to such a prosperous city in his life.

The transportation, population and economy here can be said to be no less than the city in Chen Cheng's previous life.

Arriving at the huge and spacious city gate, the Central Army Corps that led the way came to the front and showed their official documents, and soon Chen Cheng and others were allowed to enter the city on their Gale Wolves.

After passing through the city gate tunnel that was hundreds of meters long, Chen Cheng and his companions finally entered the royal capital.

The team leader who was leading the way also came forward and asked Huidun to sign his document so that he could take it back and report.

After the Central Army Corps left, Huidun said to Chen Cheng beside him:

"Come on, I'll take you to my house."

After Huidun was granted a fief, he was given a mansion on the street where the princes and nobles lived in the city.

It's just that he left in a hurry, so he only knew where the mansion was, but he had never visited it.

A group of people rode on the backs of wind wolves and walked on a special animal trail.

When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, we saw a plaque that read "Earl Huidun's Mansion".

I went up and knocked on the door, and soon the doorman opened the side door.

When he saw that it was Huidun who returned, the doorman immediately sent someone to notify the mansion and at the same time asked someone to open the middle door to welcome Huidun back.

When the middle door opened, the servants and butlers who had put down their work in the mansion were standing behind the door.

These servants and butlers were originally bestowed along with the mansion, but the previous batch were dismissed by Princess Phipsa, and the current batch of butlers and servants were all found by Princess Phipsa.

"Congratulations to welcome the master back home."

The butler took the lead in bowing.

Then a brazier was placed in front of the door, and Huidun stepped over it according to etiquette.

After Huidun entered the mansion, the butler introduced himself and the servants in the mansion, and then followed Huidun to introduce the situation of the entire mansion.

Because of the feudal system, Huidun was not granted any land in the royal capital. In addition to this mansion, he also had a few shops.

However, these stores have long been merged with Huidun and became the first bank in the royal capital.

Walking along the way, I found that the area of this mansion is much larger than the Earl's Mansion in Huidun City.

In fact, the original mansion of Huidun City was just the City Lord's Mansion. However, when Huidun came, in order to save manpower and money, he changed the City Lord's Mansion into the Earl's Mansion, and then moved in without expanding anything.

The Earl's Palace in the royal capital is the size and grandness that an Earl's palace should have.

Now Huidun City has become wealthy, but Huidun has also become accustomed to the City Lord's Mansion. Besides, he is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, so he has never thought about expanding the mansion or anything.

"Master, now that you are back, should we tell Her Royal Highness the Princess about this news?"

Huidun also knew that this housekeeper was arranged by his mother, but he still had the king's order, so he said:

"There's no rush for this. I'll go to the palace to see my father after taking a bath. I'll inform my mother later."

Afterwards, Chen Cheng and Hui Dun were taken to the bathroom in the mansion respectively.

The area of this bathroom is almost as large as Chen Cheng’s room in Huidun City.

After being helped by the maid to take a bath and change into brocade clothes, Chen Cheng and Hui Dun took a carriage to the palace.

Because they were following an imperial edict, the palace guards did not stop the two men.

When Moss XIII heard the guards report that Huidun and the other two were waiting outside, he had them called in.

Entering the palace and looking at the palace with carved beams and painted rafters, Chen Cheng could only sigh that it was the quintessence of civilization.

After being summoned, the two entered the hall.

"Your son Huidun pays respect to your father."

"Your Majesty, Brown, I pay my respects to His Majesty the King."

"Hurry up and get rid of the gift."

Moss XIII said with a smile.

"Old Nine, you've been gone for so many years, and your father misses you all the time.

Thinking back to the childish look on your face when you left the capital for your fiefdom, your father was really worried about you."

"But now it's all right. Your contribution has been seen by your father. He is very pleased to have such a capable son like you."

Moss XIII's face was full of relief as he spoke.

His words were not just a show of emotion, but came from the bottom of his heart.

"All of this is thanks to my father's teachings. When I arrived at the territory, I never forgot my father's instructions. It was because of my father's instructions that I was able to persevere and achieve the prosperity of Huidun City today."

Chen Cheng, who had been standing aside and listening to the conversation between the father and son, thought that Huidun was a very capable person, and he could not help but praise Moss XIII in every word.

But how could he know what Huidun City looked like when Huidun came here before?

If he had not been supported by his beliefs, he would have probably become one of those greedy and evil nobles.

"Hey, today there are only you and me here, father and son. Father feels guilty about you, and he knows that he has wronged you over the years."

Speaking of this, Moss XIII couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes.

"I know how difficult it is for you, my father. You are trying to stabilize the government. This little sacrifice of yours is nothing."

"But fortunately, I worked hard and was blessed to meet Brown. With his help, I am now where I am today."

There was some element of showmanship in Huidun's words, but his main purpose was to leave a good impression on Chen Cheng in Moss XIII's mind.

Chen Cheng was not stupid either, he naturally knew Huidun's intention.

"I dare not take credit for this. If it were not for the Earl's appreciation, I would probably still be an ordinary slave, being driven to work in the world every day."

Chen Cheng also praised Huidun at the right time, praising him for his ability to judge people.
