The application for an appointment to see the lord was approved, and the time was scheduled at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, which was especially in line with the traditional blood clan routine.
"You have to go there by yourself." He Yu said apologetically.
Xia Yuzhou expressed his understanding, thinking that the time the lord asked He Yu to arrive was different from his: "It's okay, I'll just take a taxi." He already knows how to use online car-hailing, which is very convenient.
He Yu sent him the address, and told him to dress more formally: "I will tell the clan about you later, and you need the consent of the clan leader to join the clan. If you officially join, you have to go home with me. But this Don't worry, you can put it under my name first, the most urgent thing is to meet the Lord of Yanjing first and get a temporary license."
Yanjing is not the territory of the He family. His family's territory is on the southeast coast, and the clan name is Nanguo.
Time was in a hurry, and He Yu didn't explain too much to Xia Yuzhou. The meaning behind the words was that it was not difficult to join the Nanguo Clan, and he would take care of everything.
Not a recommender? How did you join your clan? Before Xia Yuzhou could ask clearly, He Yu was dragged away by another professor, saying that the laboratory was in an emergency and told him to go and have a look.
As dusk fell, the city of Yanjing was shrouded in a deep twilight.
The evening sun was the softest. Xia Yuzhou walked back to the hospital without wearing a hat, carrying three bottles of pasteurized blood. Ever since I knew that the territory of Yanjing was under the jurisdiction of a certain blood clan, I felt uneasy when stepping on this land, and I always felt that there were people watching all around. Monitor whether he, a vampire who doesn't understand the rules, violates the ban or violates the rules.
The more Xia Yuzhou thought about it, the angrier he became: "I want to see what a lord is."
Why do you say that this land belongs to their family, it is clearly a socialist public land!
"I'm back." The old father Xia Yuzhou, who came back from begging in the autumn wind, opened the door of the ward with a happy face, ready to show his brother and son the three-day ration. The moment he opened the door, a smile froze on his face.
The ward was empty.
The red-haired brother and the black-haired son have no hair left.
"Where's the person?" The nurse pushing the medicine cart came in and was stunned with Xia Yuzhou.
"I guess I've gone to the bathroom, I'll look for it." Xia Yuzhou coaxed the nurse sister to go to another ward first, and immediately called Zhou Shu.
It rang a few times over there before answering, and as soon as Xia Yuzhou got connected, he cursed: "You bastard, where have you two gone, get the hell out of here! The nurse is looking for someone everywhere, and the hospital will broadcast..."
"Father, it's me." A weak boyish voice came from over there.
San Changgao's anger was instantly extinguished, Xia Yuzhou coughed lightly: "Xiao Mo, where's your uncle?"
Chen Mo seemed very happy: "Uncle is driving, we are going to the team base, Dad, come quickly."
Xia Yuzhou: "Have you explained to the doctor?"
Chen Mo: "No, the nurse came to give me an injection for the seventh time, but Uncle got bored and took me away."
Xia Yuzhou: "..." Sure enough, he escaped secretly.
Although he also intends to take the child away tonight, after all, he will have blood tests tomorrow morning, but at least he has to tell Si Jun. Forcibly staying for a day has already caused trouble for others, and if he sneaks away now, the responsibility will be Sijun's.
"Tell your uncle to wait for me." Said viciously, hung up the phone directly, Xia Yuzhou sighed with a headache, and reluctantly walked to the doctor's office.
Running around all day, there is actually a reason why he doesn't want to see Si Jun. He hasn't figured out how to get along with Si Jun now.
"Doctor Si is off work."
There was no sign of Si Jun in the office, and the nurse on duty said he had left. There was no contact information on the doctor's information form, and colleagues refused to disclose their mobile phone numbers to the patient's family. Xia Yuzhou walked around hesitantly, and tried to dial the number five years ago.
Back then, he fled Yanjing recklessly and threw away his old mobile phone card. The contact information of those people in the past has disappeared, but he still remembers this string of numbers verbatim. However, this mobile phone number is a student card issued by the school with a "4" at the end. Most people will change their numbers after work, and I don't know if they can still get through.
"Beep—" it actually worked.
The bell rang twice, and the other side answered: "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me," Xia Yuzhou leaned against the wall at the door of the office, closed his eyes and took a slow breath, and smiled, "You didn't change your number."
Si Jun was silent for a moment: "What's the matter?"
Really, he didn't want to say a word of reminiscence, Xia Yuzhou curled his lips: "I apologize to you, Zhou Shu took the child away without saying hello, I will make up the discharge procedures, but you are off work."
"I see," Si Jun was noncommittal, and added after a pause, "Don't worry, you go first, I'll take care of it."
Hearing this sentence, Xia Yuzhou's fingertips twitched uncontrollably: "I am causing you trouble."
Si Jun took a deep breath, and his voice was a few degrees lower than before: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"say what?"
"For example, you want to join the Nanguo clan."
Did gossip spread so quickly among Western blood races? Xia Yuzhou was a little surprised. In his impression, He Yu was not a talkative person: "Actually, I don't quite understand that the things you grow in the west are too complicated. But I heard that you have to report to the lord of Yanjing before you can live here. So I'll go and see the lord first."
After hearing this, Si Jun softened his tone: "I understand, don't be late." He said, and hung up the phone directly.
"Hey?" Xia Yuzhou was uncomfortable listening to the beeping busy tone on the phone.
When they were in love, they called each other every day. Every time Si Jun had to wait for him to hang up first, even if he got angry because of the quarrel, he didn't hang up directly. It's good now, there's not even a concluding remark, so let's put it down.
Back at the e-sports base, he cleaned up the uncles and nephews who had sneaked away one by one. Xia Yuzhou was exhausted physically and mentally, so he took a shower and lay down on the bed to play with his mobile phone.
It was still early at midnight, and He Yu had not responded to messages or answered calls. Xia Yuzhou clicked on the "Blood Alliance Online Business Hall" and went in for research.
Because the identity has not been authenticated, he can't use many modules. Especially [Aristocratic Zone], you can't click on it at all. Only the [Social Zone] is unimpeded.
The [Social Zone] was subdivided into several areas, and he couldn't enter the special areas of the clans. He could only wander around in the free area, and joined a group called [New Students] casually.
This group is very active and many people are chatting. Xia Yuzhou observed silently for a while, and found that there were basically teenagers and girls in the 16th and 17th years. Could it be some kind of freshman group from the Blood Race High School
[Nan Guoshi Xia Yuzhou: Hello everyone, I'm new here.]
After sending a message in, the group fell silent for an instant. It was only then that Xia Yuzhou discovered that his nickname used to refer to his clan.
[Qingyang's Wang Wang: Where did this sand sculpture come from, and it uses its full name?]
[Han Shan's = =: I have never heard of this name.]
[Sixteen's SSR: Tsk, I guess it's a new recognition again, the style of the southern nobles.]
Xia Yuzhou looked at it for a while and probably understood. These children have just turned 16 years old. This app can only be used by blood clans who have turned 16 years old. The younger ones can only be raised by their parents. They all knew each other, and they automatically classified Xia Yuzhou, who they didn't know, as the illegitimate son of the Nanguo family living abroad.
In order to chat with the children for a while, Xia Yuzhou could only endure the humiliation and acquiesced to this origin. The children immediately became interested and asked him how he lived these years living outside.
[Nan Guo's Xia Yuzhou: Buy blood at the vegetable market to drink. I don't know much about it when I first came here. May I ask what is a noble? Do you need to recharge to have it?]
Everyone was silent for a while, and expressed deep sympathy for him.
[The nobles are the nobles of the clan, not the QQ yellow diamond nobles!]
[Do you know what a clan is?]
[My God, I don't even know this. The current five major clans are: Hanshan clan, Nanguo clan, Qingyang clan, Shiliu clan, and Wuling clan. There is only one surname in each clan that is noble, and your family belongs to the Nanguo clan, so it belongs to the Nanguo noble He family, understand?]
It turned out to be a real nobleman, what kind of feudal lust left over from ancient times
[Nanguo Clan Xia Yuzhou: Which clan does Yanjing belong to?]
The sixteenth child, who was the most active in science popularization just now, suddenly became furious when he heard this:
[Sixteen's SSR: Was it intentional? Kick him out of the group!]
[Hanshan Clan = =: Yanjing is the territory of our Hanshan Clan.]
[Qingyang's Wang Wang: Hahahahahaha!]
Then Xia Yuzhou was kicked out by the children without delay, very inexplicably. "Hey?" Xia Yuzhou was kicked out of the group chat for the first time, and suddenly became unhappy, and poked a group administrator alone to ask for a solo chat.
"Father, shouldn't it be time for you to go out?" Chen Mo, who was squatting beside his uncle watching the game, suddenly raised his head to remind him.
Xia Yuzhou checked the time, threw the phone aside, and jumped up to get dressed.
Opening my brother's closet, I searched for a long time to find a decent suit and put it in randomly. Zhou Shu is taller than him, and this coat doesn't fit well, like a wide-fitting one-size-fits-all dress in the 1990s, which looks silly no matter how you look at it. Simply don't wear a jacket, just wear a shirt and a tie, which can barely be considered formal.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Shu got up to pick up his clothes.
"No need," Xia Yuzhou stopped him, looking at the kid who quietly reached out to take over Uncle's mouse, "You two just stay here and don't run around, you are just helping me."
"You know what the lord is, so you dare to go." Zhou Shu disagreed.
"I know, it's from the Hanshan clan."
Xia Yuzhou said it with confidence, but in fact he didn't know what the Hanshan family was. Going out and getting in the car, there is a new message on the phone. Someone wants to add him on WeChat, and the note is [new group leader].
The mobile phone number can be directly known in the blood alliance business hall app! Garbage!
Xia Yuzhou first opened the application center and gave a 1-star negative review to the "Blood Alliance Online Business Hall" on the grounds of leaking user privacy. Then click on WeChat and agree to the friend request.
[Qing: Dear, I am also from the Nanguo clan, just now you were kicked out of the group by the boy from the Shiliu clan, I'm really sorry, don't take it to heart.]
[Xia Yuzhou: Hmph! why did he kick me]Pretend to be a child, you have to pretend to the end.
The other party waited for a while before replying, and replied with a very long voice. Xia Yuzhou clicked on it to listen to it. It was a very pleasant young voice, melodious and pleasant.
"Yanjing was snatched by the young master of the Hanshan clan from the patriarch of the Sixteen clan. The reason why the Sixteen clan is called the Sixteen clan is because they have the territories of sixteen states, which were called Yanyun Sixteen states in ancient times. Now Yanjing has been snatched away, and there are only fifteen prefectures left, this is a shame for everyone in the Sixteen Clan, so don’t let it be mentioned.”
grab? It turns out that the territory can still be robbed. It seems that these western species are not peaceful.
Xia Yuzhou licked the broken tooth root on the right.
Today, He Yu also gave him a little science, the territory of each family is basically concentrated, and usually the lord is the patriarch of the clan. New lords will only be established if individual scattered territories are not easy to govern.
Since Yanjing was a piece cut out by the Hanshan clan from the Yanyun sixteen prefectures, the lord was probably not the patriarch of the Hanshan clan, but someone else.
"The lord of Yanjing is the youngest lord so far. When he was 20 years old, he challenged the head of the sixteenth clan to a duel and demanded the territorial rights of the entire Yanjing. The original head of the sixteenth clan just took it as a joke and ignored it. Who knew he would just throw his gloves away."
The boy on the other side of the voice chattered endlessly when he mentioned the Lord of Yanjing, like a fanboy talking about idols. Although Xia Yuzhou didn't know what the so-called duel was, it didn't prevent him from experiencing the danger.
No one knows why this young master did this back then, and where did he have the courage to challenge the invincible Sixteen Clan Chief. But he did it and won, changing the pattern of the territories that the major clans had not changed for a hundred years.
Xia Yuzhou suddenly looked forward to seeing this young lord.
"Are you sure you want to go to Yuanyue Lake?" The taxi driver saw that Xia Yuzhou didn't speak for a long time, and tried to find a topic, "Going further, there are very few people, what are you going there in the middle of the night?"
Yuanyue Lake, the address given by He Yu, is a very old villa area in the suburbs of Beijing.
"A friend lives there and invited me to play," Xia Yuzhou replied casually, "Do you know that place?"
The driver is from Yanjing, and he speaks with a strong accent and swallowed words: "Then you can ask. This place was a gathering place for ghosts and ghosts in ancient times, and many legends of ghosts and ghosts came from here. Later, I don’t know who developed it into a villa area, which was the earliest suburban villa in Yanjing. In order to suppress those things, a school was set up to gather yang energy. But it is still haunted, people often disappear here, and the school can’t continue. "
While speaking, the car was already approaching the villa area. The tall trees and lush forests are silent, which is really a bit scary.
Xia Yuzhou asked curiously, "Then do you know what kind of ghost it is?"
The driver shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "Let's not say that there is a strange force, but there are really, it is said... It's a vampire."
"… Oh."
When the car arrived at the designated location, there was no horror scene as the driver had imagined. Street lamps and ground lamps are complete in the community, and there are red flowers and willow greens, as well as security guards, but there are indeed few residents. At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the lights of other houses were turned off, and only one big house was brightly lit.
Xia Yuzhou was at the door, looking up at the entire old villa. The exterior style is rough and chill, surrounded by sixteen Roman columns. There is a recess on the top of the door, which should have been engraved with some logo, as if it has been smoothed, and a silver lyre that is incompatible with the surroundings is inlaid.
The door opened slowly, and the bright lights penetrated the long night in an instant. Xia Yuzhou squinted his eyes, and saw the interior of the villa, which was completely different in decoration style and appearance.
Exquisite and luxurious, but not the kind of red and green upstarts. A silver velvet blanket was spread from the inside of the house to the front of the door. He Yu came down from the second floor. He was wearing a wine red shirt and a black suit jacket, with a pale face covering his left shoulder. Looking up and seeing Xia Yuzhou, he showed a weak and gentle smile.
A fat old man in a British housekeeper's uniform came over tall and straight, and saluted Xia Yuzhou: "Mr. Xia, it is eleven fifty-five in the evening, and there are five minutes before your appointment. Please wait .”
Xia Yuzhou was invited to sit on the suede sofa in the living room, and the butler brought two cups of black tea. He Yu, who was obviously not in good condition, sat on another sofa, five meters away from Xia Yuzhou.
"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yuzhou asked.
He Yu smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if you make a mistake and receive a small punishment."
"Mr. Xia, please follow me." Before he could finish a sip of tea, the butler came over and asked Xia Yuzhou to go upstairs.
He Yu didn't intend to give any hints, just kept drinking tea with his head down. Xia Yuzhou was a little irritable, pulled the tie knot, and followed the butler upstairs.
"This is your first time here, please allow me to introduce you." The butler spoke politely and walked with a special rhythm, like an old gentleman from the Middle Ages. You couldn't be impatient, so you could only follow him slowly.
"The territory of Yanjing currently belongs to the Hanshan clan. The lord is a nobleman of the Hanshan clan. He won the dusk duel at the age of twenty and won this territory with his own hands." Sitting on the sofa was a man wearing a retro suit and an exquisite bow tie, with a tall and straight figure like a lone crane and a pine tree, "Mr. Si Jun."
Xia Yuzhou: "..."
When Si Jun saw him, he didn't have any intention of getting up, but just looked at him calmly: "Welcome to the territory of Yanjing."
The butler raised his hand and invited Xia Yuzhou to go in: "The territory of Yanjing is under the jurisdiction of the lord, you can ask any questions you have."
Xia Yuzhou's forehead started to twitch from the moment he stepped into this house, and it got even worse after seeing Si Jun. He raised his hand and rubbed the veins that were about to pop out, took a breath and said, "I just want to ask, does the Yanjing City Government know that you rule the Yanjing area?"
