Chu instantaneously felt a pang in his heart, and then retreated to dodge, allowing this devastating sword qi to burst under his feet.

He finally stood firm, looked at the extremely deep sword mark on the floor with palpitations, and the moment he looked up, he happened to meet the young man in leather with a fierce face, and the other party's slightly golden eyes suddenly appeared with cold murderous intent.

This sudden sword aura attracted the eyes of the surroundings, and when the dignitaries in the Heavenly Maiden saw the young man in leather armor, they couldn't help but cast a gloating gaze at Chu Xuanzhao, and whispered to each other, obviously recognizing this young man who dared to draw his sword in front of the Heavenly Maiden.

"Oh, they actually fought?" Murong Nuanyu put down the wine glass in his hand and kicked Li Pei, who was drunk on the table.

"That's ...... Long Fusheng?, he's back from Long Yuan?!"

There are many children of the family in the middle of the Heavenly Maiden, so they recognized this young man with a fierce face at a glance, and their faces were shocked and they couldn't wait to leave here, facing the ferocity affected by him.

"Long Fusheng is right, I remember that he once showed his love for Ziluo, and he didn't give up after being rejected by her, and threatened everywhere that whoever dared to stand with Ziluo would be killed, it seems that the son of the Shen family will be unlucky now. ”

Luoyang Dragon is a first-class family second only to the Zhao royal family in the Daqing Dynasty, and this young man who dares to draw a sword in front of the Heavenly Maiden is the handsome Long Fusheng among the nobles of the Luoyang Gongqing, the dragon Xuance who once launched the battle of the fall of ten thousand dragons is his ancestor, his father used to be the dragon king nine generals of the capital of the dragon dragon Tianji, ten years ago by the Xilin Sword God outside the city of Luoyang personally killed, now the dragon king nine generals are the nephew of the dragon without mastiff, his uncle is the current cabinet chief assistant Cao Huilong, and Cao Longping in the nine generals of the dragon king today is a cousin relationship, it can be said that he was born to decide that the future road will not be ordinary, and even the emperor's family is not much different。

Long Fusheng did not live up to anyone's expectations, since he was a child, he was talented in martial arts, at the age of ten, other children of powerful people like him were still studying hard in Luoyang City, in order to be able to rise to the top in the future, he had gone to Longyuan to prepare to be a dragon cavalryman, watching how his father tamed a dragon with angry eyes with a dragon whip, how to send the whip to his own hands, how to train the dragon himself, how to finally ride a flying dragon to soar in the sky, he will become a dragon general in the future is already a sure thing, and it is even very likely to become the next dragon king Nine generals are the capital, such a strong background plus outstanding strength, all of which made the girls in the spring boudoir in Luoyang City reverie about her, but he only fell in love with Ziluo, the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor in the mouth of everyone.

"With the tyrannical nature of the dragon, I'm afraid that the son of the Shen family will suffer a big loss tonight, he has been training in the dragon abyss for the past few days, maybe the next generation of dragon protector legions will be mostly him. ”

"Count that illegitimate child as unlucky, if you dare to pick the demon flower of Miss Zi, you will naturally have to pay a little price, but it's okay, someone finally stands up

Frustrate his spirit. ”

"This is the Heavenly Maiden Residence, I don't know if Prince Xiao is here, if he is, he will not be so presumptuous, if he is not here, I am afraid that this illegitimate son will have to shed a few taels of blood tonight before he can get out." ”

The crowd turned their heads to each other, and their eyes were on the place that had caused the commotion.

Chu Xianzhao shook his palm, and after dispelling the numbness in his palm, he stared at the leather-armored man who drew his sword and injured him without saying a word, and asked, "Are you looking for death?"

If the sword just now had a little bit worse than his reaction, I am afraid that he would have split it on the spot, although the competition in Luoyang City was promoted, but against this kind of person who inexplicably drew the sword and killed you, even Chu Xuanzhao's heart inevitably surged with killing intent.

Long Fusheng looked at Ziluo from head to toe, completely ignoring the pretty face full of anger, and finally turned over and dismounted, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and said domineeringly: "How many times have I told you, don't have anything to do with these mongrels, follow me!"

"Are you crazy...... I said I don't like you, why do you always pester me!" The anger on Ziluo's face was obvious, he didn't expect that he hadn't forgotten himself, and every time he saw her, he would be entangled to death, and even injured and disabled her guests several times.

The saber guy wanted to separate him from Ziluo, and Long Fusheng's face was quite hideous: "Where did you come from, kid, get out!"

He freed up one hand and pushed it hard into the little guy's chest, and a crackling bone sound sounded crisply, and the little guy flew out directly upside down, falling heavily at the feet of the guests, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Kill...... Kill!" someone exclaimed.

Taking advantage of Long Fusheng's move, Ziluo finally broke free of his wrist, hurriedly came to Chu Xianzhao, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?"

"Who is he?" Chu Xianzhao stared at the madman who killed without saying a word.

Ziluo smiled bitterly: "Long Fusheng, a member of the Luoyang Long family, his uncle is the majority of the Dragon Guardian Legion, he has been pestering me for a long time, and a few years ago, he killed a few guests who had contact with me, so except for auctions, I rarely come out to show my face, just to avoid him." ”

"The ...... of the dragon without a mastiff Nephew. There was a bitter killing intent in Chu Xuanzhao's voice, Ziluo heard that he was angry, although he had the help of the Shen family behind him, since ancient times, wealth has not fought with officials, Long Fusheng can be regarded as half of the emperor's family, if they really fight, I am afraid that he will suffer at that time.

Ziluo just wanted to open his mouth to persuade him to stop, but Long Fusheng approached, it was a young face with a hideous smile, the killing intent on his face was undisguised, and he said sharply: "The woman who dares to approach me, don't waste your two arms today, don't want to get out of here." ”

Long Fusheng's golden eyes stared at Chu Xianzhao, and the atmosphere became tense.

He dragged the sword in his hand and strode forward, and the golden dragon breath surged around him

out, like the majesty of a king.

The surrounding onlookers were also affected, and they retreated in embarrassment, and some even knelt on their knees, unable to leave or forced to retreat, and the overwhelming aura finally rushed to Chu Xuanzhao's foothold.

Chu Xianzhao stood firm in front of this qi machine, and released the qi in his body in front of everyone's eyes, and the two forces of water and fire were incompatible, and they touched together like lightning, like two tides on the sea toppling each other, Chu Xianzhao's face sank like water, and he did not retreat under the power of this dragon's breath.

"Whose miscellaneous insects dare to make trouble when the county lord is drinking?" Murong Nuanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she took a step forward, the majestic and raging qi surged out of her body, as if a wave high above the sky rushed towards Long Fusheng, and finally swallowed all his breath, and the oppression in the hall dissipated in an instant.

"Floating. ”

A voice came from behind Long Fusheng, who looked angry, Long Fusheng turned his head for a moment, saw Xiao Wang Ye walking towards him, took a deep breath, quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said respectfully: "Fusheng greets the prince." ”

For the arrival of Prince Xiao, the guests around him also saluted, Prince Xiao first glanced at the corpse of the little guy, and finally his eyes fell on Long Fusheng's face, and said in a slightly accentuated tone: "Fusheng, I didn't expect you to stay in Longyuan for a few years, that unreasonable character still exists, since the establishment of the world just to protect the people of Daqing, how did you become a dragoon?"

Facing Wang Ye's questioning, Long Fusheng bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "The prince is angry, the nephew just wants to ask Xiaoluo to have a cup of tea, and he doesn't want to make trouble here, as for the little guy who he accidentally killed just now, the nephew will let someone send a few newcomers, which can be regarded as an apology to the prince." ”

Xiao Wangye and Long Fusheng can be regarded as relatives, no matter how arrogant Long Fusheng is, he still doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Xiao Wangye, and immediately pretends to be respectful.

Xiao Wang Ye looked at him with a complicated expression, and said: "In your father's face, this king will give you one last chance, don't pester Ziluo in the future, this king doesn't want her to be hurt by people like you, although your surname is Long, but my Zhao family is the real dragon in Luoyang City, you are not counted, and you are not worthy!"

King Xiao said such a direct word. Long Fusheng's face changed slightly, and he was afraid at the moment, and said with a sneer: "The words of the prince, the little nephew should be kept in mind. ”

Prince Xiao snorted lightly, glanced at Chu Xianzhao, who was standing beside Ziluo, and said word by word: "Give you another reminder, don't go to Tang Gongzi for trouble, he is the young master of the Shen family, and he is also Ziluo's friend, if something happens to him at that time, this king will not be able to spare you, even if it is Long Wumastiff, he can't protect you, understand?"

Long Fu stared at Chu Xuanzhao to death, and after half a sound, he sighed softly and said, "Ziluo, what do we have to do with it, there's no need for him to be so stiff." ”

Ziluo sneered

"Ziluo is a dust girl, even if you are the son of Gao Panlong, I hope we will not meet again in the future, the words have been said on this, please go back." ”

After listening to Ziluo's words, Long Fusheng's face became extremely ugly, and under the gaze of Prince Xiao and many guests, he silently turned around and left.

Before stepping out of the door, he gently tilted his head and said something to Chu Xianzhao with his lips that no one could hear.

"Wait for death. ”

After watching Long Fusheng leave, Xiao Wang Ye turned to face the many guests, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's just the nonsense of the young people, which has disturbed all the distinguished guests, and the Heavenly Maiden will give you a pot of Longquan incense later, which can be regarded as an apology." ”

After hearing Xiao Wangye's words, the onlookers also hugged the woman next to them and dispersed, and continued to drink**, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xuanzhao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ziluo, who was constantly looking at him, and laughed softly: "I'm fine, this bit of sword qi is not enough to cause me any damage, but you are not scared, right?"

Ziluo bit his lip and shook his head, Chu instantly turned around and came to Murong Nuanyu, smiled and thanked, "Xie Liting, the county lord made a move for me."

"You owe this county lord a favor, and you will have to pay it back later. Murong Nuanyu raised his willow eyebrows, and said heroically.

"What happened just now?" Li Pei, who had just woken up from a drunken dream, stretched his waist, opened his eyes and saw Chu Xianzhao, and said with a smile: "Tang Gongzi, you haven't left yet?"

"I'm going to leave now, I'll drink with you next time. Chu Xianzhao took the umbrella handed by the maid of the Heavenly Maiden, turned his head and smiled at Ziluo: "I'm fine, but you take care of yourself and go." ”

Ziluo looked at this extremely serious face, the tip of his nose was a little sour, a faint warmth spread in the atrium, and his slender eyelashes blinked, looking at him with affection.

Chu Xianzhao was suddenly a little surprised, and felt that Ziluo's eyes were more than just now, but he couldn't say it...... It just made it a little hard for him to remove it from her face.

"Are you alright?" Chu Xianzhao asked suspiciously.

"The concubine is in good health. Ziluo smiled playfully, like a little fox spirit who had been practicing in the mountains for many years.

"Then I'm leaving. Chu Xianzhao raised his umbrella and glanced at the lobby where Yisheng was singing, thinking that these people could really toss, so he turned around.

"Childe wait!" Zi shouted behind him.

Chu Xianzhao turned around, Ziluo stepped forward and looked at him for a while, and suddenly reached out to help him straighten out his hair that was messed up by Long Fusheng just now, Chu Zhaozhao was stunned, and obediently tilted his head sideways to accommodate her.

Ziluo's hand was like a dexterous comb, helping him get his hair done again, looking him up and down, and said with a smile: "This looks much more handsome, this is like the son of the Shen family, much more handsome than the children of the Long family and the Zhao family."

”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and asked, "Ziluo, why are you so good to me?"

Ziluo's eyes wandered around, his eyes were like squinted crescents, and he smiled: "Because the prince and the concubine are also illegitimate children in the mouth of outsiders, people like us from humble backgrounds should have empathy for each other, just like huddling together for warmth." ”

Chu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly, "I understand, goodbye." ”

Ziluo watched Chu instantaneously disappear under the rain curtain, leaning against the door for a long time and not going back, that charming face looked extremely moving in the candlelight, silently looking at the night scene where the rain fell into a curtain, slightly distracted.

"Go back, he's come a long way. Xiao Wangye's voice suddenly sounded in her back, and he put his hand on her shoulder with a smile.

"Oh......" Ziluo reluctantly retracted his gaze, and after Xiao Wang Ye smiled, he said meaningfully: "You seem to be a little interesting to that child?"

"What does the prince mean by this?" Even Ziluo didn't notice that his face showed a hint of crimson, and Prince Xiao pinched her face like a child, and said, "If you think it's okay, you might as well give it a try with him?"

Ziluo shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Wang, I don't have the kind of feelings for Tang Huang that Lord Wang thought, I just regard him as a good friend." ”

Xiao Wang Ye said meaningfully: "Do you know? Our family does not have much power to choose their own lover, since you have not chosen the surname Zhao, why don't you face your heart once, if you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime, if your mother can see your happiness, she can also rest assured in heaven." ”

"There are a lot of things I regret, but this one is not one of them. Ziluo's hands were clenched tightly, and his expression was obscure.

"Whatever you want......" Xiao Wangye didn't continue to persuade her, patted her on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

There was a heartbreaking sadness in Ziluo's eyes, everyone only knew that she was charming and moving as if she was smiling, but they didn't know that she wanted to cry without crying, and she was even more captivated.

I don't know how long it took, something quietly appeared in those red golden eyes, like a burning golden flame.

"Lord, don't be kidding, if the Queen Mother doesn't die for a day, my mother won't be at ease for a day, and I will never be happy. “

"I don't have the amazing swordsmanship talent of my eldest sister Zhao Xi, but it's not difficult to 'add fuel to the fire' in Sunset City with my ability. ”

"If Empress Zhao dares to do this kind of thing, I dare too!"

The corners of Ziluo's mouth curled slightly, the smiles on his face became more and more, and the flames in his eyes became more and more vigorous, as if he was watching the city in a raging fire.

——

The next morning, it rained heavily overnight, and the rain gradually stopped.

Chu instantaneously summoned Jiang Tang to send him

One by one, the letters were placed in the brazier, and his brow tightened as he watched the envelopes slowly burn to ashes.

After a while, a maidservant came to knock on Chu Xuanzhao's door and reported softly: "Young master, Shopkeeper Sun asks to see you." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled lightly, his eyes were still looking at the rain scene outside the window, and said: "His old man is very weak, so he came to see me early in the morning, since it is Shopkeeper Sun who came in person, then invite him in." ”

The subordinate bowed and retreated, and soon brought a man in his forties to him, the man had soft eyebrows and eyes like all middle-aged men, and his eyes revealed a little smooth essence, and his back was also hunched because he had been doing business for many years, but Chu Xianzhao knew that this man had deep seniority in the Shen family firm, and he was in charge of one of the most important businesses of the Shen family firm under the eldest lady, so he did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for men.

After the middle-aged man saw Chu Xianzhao, he lost his mind slightly, and quickly concealed this surprise, and clasped his fists at him and saluted: "Sun Jianxi has seen the young master. ”

Since ancient times, salt and iron are the tax weapons of the imperial court, the imperial court implements a tax or monopoly system on the monopoly of salt and iron, which can bring more benefits to the economy of the dynasty, the salt lakes of the Northern Dynasty are scarce, and most of the salt is imported from the southern continent, and the dynasty generally does not allow private individuals to monopolize the salt trade, because it means division and danger.

The reason why the Shen family was able to become a giant among the merchants was to rely on the large number of Yanchi mines under the family business, among which the Yanqu General Merchant had the closest relationship with the imperial court, such as the big shopkeeper who came to see Chu Xuanzhao, and the Luoyang Imperial Court gave him a salt envoy from Sanpin, such an official position is not insignificant, and it can even affect the economic trend of Qingguo.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the middle-aged man with meticulous hair combed again, and said with a smile: "I invite Shopkeeper Sun to come to the manor today, firstly, I want to meet Shopkeeper Sun, and secondly, I want to ask about some things about the firm. ”

Shopkeeper Sun replied with a smile: "The master and the lady trust us to let us take care of things, naturally we want to have a lot of money, I don't know what the young master wants to ask?"

Chu Xianzhao stretched out his hand and motioned for the man to sit down, and asked directly, "Don't joke with you, just tell me the real situation?"

Since the shopkeeper learned that the eldest lady planned to transfer the power of the firm to this person, he was ready to change the master early, of course he knew in his heart that the illegitimate son of the lord had just come to Luoyang, and there was no one around him who could talk about his cronies, and in the future, the Shen family's firm would eventually become his bag, if he wanted to grasp the situation of the firm, he would definitely look for cronies from the old man of the firm, and now that he was called by him, he naturally had to take advantage of the opportunity to be close to the water.

raise

The matter of the commercial bank, the shopkeeper Sun said with a fluttering eyebrow, Chu Xianzhao nodded continuously, listening to the other party gradually explain the current situation of the commercial bank, the functions of the members of the commercial bank, and the business under the management of various industries, all of which are lacking.

"Why has the silver earned by the firm in recent years been getting less and less year by year since Shen Sanqian left, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a loss, right?

Chu Xianzhao directly asked a question that made the face of the shopkeeper Sun on the opposite side change drastically.
