Chapter 453: The Countryman Enters the City
"yes."
"It's an honor to work with you on official business. I'll have time to talk to the four seniors again in the future." Chu Xiang raised his hand slightly and saluted.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang suddenly showed such a low profile and respected them so much. The four of them quickly stood at attention and returned the courtesy.
Chu Xiang nodded slightly and rode the waves towards Fuzhou. The four of them watched Chu Xiang leave and report to Beidao City Headquarters.
After crossing the sea and arriving at the Virginia Airport, Chu Xiang swiped his fingerprints and entered the airport lobby. He asked the counter clerk. One hour and twenty-one minutes later, there was a connecting flight passing through Los Angeles. Chu Xiang used his account balance to book the ticket.
Use public funds.
Compared with taking a plane, with Chu Xiang's current cultivation level, it might be faster to just go there without having to wait here and there. But Chu Xiang can't do that. Going to Luocheng to meet the emperor, taking a plane shows his attitude.
, to show his attitude.
Currently, there are only three Hedao masters in the imperial court, including him, there are four. Directly flying through the sky will give people a strong feeling and will definitely arouse criticism from all parties in the imperial court. Chu Xiang does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
After Chu Xiang bought the ticket, the waiter at the counter immediately called his boss and reported the abnormal situation. Most of the identity information of the person just now showed asterisks.
People came very quickly. Within five minutes after Chu Xiang entered the terminal and sat down, the person in charge of the airport arrived.
What came was a colonel in a neat military uniform. He looked young, about thirty-five or six years old, but his hair was half white. The colonel quickly came to Chu Xiang, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, chief."
Chu Xiang nodded slightly and said, "I'm just passing by, no need to be polite."
The surrounding staff saw the leader coming in a hurry and were curious about what happened. They all looked at the colonel and saw that the leader actually saluted and called the chief, but the chief was sitting motionless. Everyone was even more curious.
A commander who can make a colonel salute without even standing up slightly to signal must be at least a lieutenant general. This man looks ordinary, dressed like an ordinary person, and can even be said to be downcast. How could he be a lieutenant general?
Will.
The colonel smiled shyly and lowered his voice: "Chief, I have an unkind request. I wonder if the chief can satisfy my respect."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask the chief to sign his name for me," the colonel whispered.
"This does not comply with the regulations." Chu Xiang said.
"Just sign here, it doesn't violate the rules." The colonel lifted up half of his clothes.
Seeing that Chu Xiang's expression was relaxed, the colonel took out a pen and handed it to Chu Xiang. He bent down and lifted up the corner of his clothes. He was already prepared.
Chu Xiang shook his head with a smile, took the pen and wrote the word "Chu Xiang" on the inside corner of the colonel's clothes.
"Thank you, chief, thank you, chief." The colonel said excitedly, with a look of joy on his face, not to mention how happy he was.
"If your commander finds out, I'll give you thirty blows," Chu Xiang said.
"I would also like to have a fifty-fifty board," the colonel said with a cheerful smile.
The colonel left happily, jumping half a meter with every step, like a child holding a candied haws.
The airport staff looked at the colonel as if they had seen a ghost. No one knew why the leader suddenly became like this, because only the colonel had the authority to see Chu Xiang's information and guess that he was the commander of the Eastern Naval District.
Chu Xiang got on the plane and took off for Luo City. After his subordinates asked him questions more than a dozen times, the colonel finally couldn't help showing off and told his subordinates the answer he had been holding back for a long time.
"Do you know who the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Naval District is? The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Naval District." The colonel said still excitedly.
Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Navy Region, Master of the Martial Arts Hall, Demon Lord Chu Xiang.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the leader's answer. They didn't expect that the ordinary man just now was the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Navy District, who has been in the limelight recently.
"Don't tell anyone. If the general finds out, he will beat me up." the colonel warned.
After getting off the plane in Luocheng, Chu Xiang did not enter the city immediately. The time to meet the emperor was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was still early.
Chu Xiang brought his military uniform. He thought this would be a formal meeting, but he did not expect that the emperor would meet him in Houde Garden at eight o'clock in the evening. Obviously this would not be a formal meeting, which made Chu Xiang
Some people can't figure out the emperor's thoughts.
If there is a city with the best public security, it must be Luo City, under the emperor's feet. If they can't even manage public security well, then they don't have to hang their heads around their necks.
There is a snack street outside the airport. There are dozens of stalls on both sides of the 100-meter-long street. People come and go, selling specialties and food. There are all kinds of things, just like the vegetable market in the old days.
Full of fireworks.
Chu Xiang sat down at a small stall and ordered a bowl of Luocheng's special spicy soup, and told the stall owner not to use spicy food.
When Chu Xiangyi said it shouldn't be spicy, the stall owner immediately became angry: "If the spicy soup is not spicy, is it still spicy soup? Can I eat spicy soup without adding spicy food in this weather?"
Chu Xiang was speechless after what he said, so he could only say: "Then just put a little bit, not too much."
Looking at the red pieces in the bowl, it was obvious that the stall owner’s was a little different from Chu Xiang’s. Fortunately, Chu Xiang was not an ordinary person. With a flick of the spoon, Chu Xiang separated out all the red things and poured them quietly.
When he reached the ground, he touched his feet and everything went underground.
After eating a bowl of non-spicy Hu spicy soup, Chu Xiang found that the taste was quite good. After finishing the meal, Chu Xiang took out the money and was dumbfounded. He had a stack of Taiwan dollars in his hand.
The currency circulation in Taiwan is the same as before the drastic change. Paper money is the main transaction currency. Although it has depreciated dozens of times, it does not prevent it from being used for transactions.
But here, only hard currencies such as gold and silver are the main means of payment. No one accepts banknotes at all, let alone Taiwan dollars.
Glancing at what Chu Xiang took out, the stall owner's face suddenly turned cold, and his fat face became serious.
"I'm in a hurry and I don't have any cash with me. Is there a place where I can swipe my card and transfer it to you?" Chu Xiang said.
"Do you think I can swipe credit cards here?" the stall owner asked without answering, and one card had turned black.
The stall owner obviously misunderstood what Chu Xiang meant and thought Chu Xiang wanted to escape the bill.
"I'll leave the salute and mobile phone with you first, and I'll go to the airport to get some money." Chu Xiang said to the stall owner.
"Okay." The stall owner glanced at Chu Xiang's cell phone, his expression softened, and he nodded.
Chu Xiang put his phone on the package and went to the airport to withdraw money.
After Chu Xiang walked away, several stall owners on both sides showed meaningful smiles and looked at Chu Xiang's package.
Fool, the stall owner thought to himself, turned around and glanced in the direction of the airport entrance, confirmed that Chu Xiang had entered the airport, and showed a weird smile.
I didn't expect to meet a fat sheep today. Doing business here at the airport, the people who come in and out are either high-ranking officials or wealthy people with swords and swords. I don't dare to mess with him. He doesn't have any weapons at first glance, and it's even more unlikely to be...
A noble person foolishly deposits his mobile phone and salute here. Even if it is a mortgage, a mobile phone is enough. Isn't this tempting people to commit crimes?
Pretending to clear the table, the stall owner gently opened Chu Xiang's package, took out the contents and stuffed them into his coat, then stuffed the rag inside.
Returning to the dining car, the stall owner took out the things in his arms and glanced at the secret compartment that he was about to stuff into the dining car. He found that the clothes in his hands were the same color as the military uniforms, and there were some yellow shoulder straps. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.
Bad premonition.
At this time, a patrol team trotted over on the street. A row of stall owners looked at the patrol team, curious about what happened. The stall owner holding clothes quickly stuffed the clothes into the secret compartment of the dining car and looked at the running patrol team.
Patrols usually walk and will not run unless there is an emergency. Now it seems that something happened in front of them.
When everyone was curious, the patrol stopped in front of several stalls. The captain of the patrol waved his hand, pointed at the five stall owners in front and said: "Take them."
As soon as he stuffed his clothes into the secret compartment, the patrol arrived. The stall owner's chubby face couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After a change of thought, his expression became calm again. Even if he was caught stealing, the patrol would not be so quick.
When I arrived, it must have been something else, probably the guy next to me.
"Sir, what's going on? Why are you arresting us?" several stall owners shouted, causing people around to come closer and watch.
"You stole other people's valuables. Do you want me to explain to you what you did?" The captain of the patrol pointed at the chubby stall owner and said fiercely, and then pointed to several people beside him and said: "If you know something and fail to report it, you are an accomplice.
Take him back."
"Sir, I didn't steal anything from anyone. Do I have the guts? There can be anything valuable on this street." The stall owner who took Chu Xiang's military uniform shouted, with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
The captain of the patrol waved his hand, and several soldiers buckled down the five of them. The captain walked to where the stall owner was cooking food, took a look, smashed the secret compartment with his fist, and took out the military uniforms placed inside.
"Luocheng has been completely embarrassed by you." The patrol leader said coldly, kicking down the stall owner who had stolen Chu Xiang's military uniform, taking out the rag inside the package, and then carefully putting the uniform back into the package.
.
The crowd of onlookers saw the yellow buttons exposed on the patrol leader's military uniform, and they were quick to guess. They whispered to others: "At least it's a major general-level military uniform."
"Now they have kicked down the iron plate." Someone gloated.
These people are just like the people who cheated and kidnapped people at the train station in the old days. They were usually street vendors doing business, but when they got the chance, they turned into cheating and kidnapping guys.
Dealing with these people is very troublesome. Once a group is arrested, another group will come. They have a certain use and can serve as the eyes and ears of the police station. Generally, they will not be ignored if they are not excessive. However, if we do not deal with this matter today, it will definitely not work.
