Because of the special care given to him by the eldest lady, the children of the whole mansion looked at Chu Xianzhao differently, but he undoubtedly put the name of the young master to death, and people who praised him could be seen everywhere, since he entered the Shen family manor, the subordinates, the nightmares were not less careful to serve this new young master.

Although the Shen family manor is very refined, but the fine design of the Nanlu architectural pavilion still surprised Chu Xianzhao, when he came to this side room called Snow Lotus Pavilion under the leadership of the maid, the eldest lady sitting on the bamboo mat had been waiting for a long time, Chu Zhaozhao personally sat down and poured him a cup of fragrant tea.

Chu Xuanzhao did not pose as frightened, but naturally took a sip, feeling the taste of the tea soup with golden leaves.

After the eldest lady was silent for a while, she said: "Tang Huang, I don't know if the master has told you about our family's business, the Shen family firm is involved in many commercial fields, among which the most important is naturally the copper and iron ore city, Yanchi Winery, including several brothels in the green building, these are all businesses that the master spent a lot of money on when he was young, even if it is taken out alone, it is a large industry, it seems that there are many of them, in fact, when you slowly get in touch, you will understand the relationship." I know that you may not be interested in doing business, after all, this is the family industry, and it will fall into your hands if it is not surprising, so I will not treat you as an outsider to hide and speak, but I will not let you contact the real power of the business house for the time being, and the network is the capital of the businessman, and after you are familiar with the magnates in the city and get their respect, I will slowly transfer the real power of the business house to you. ”

Chu Xuanzhao thought to himself that I didn't come here to do business at all, but to subvert this dynasty, but he couldn't tell the woman in front of him about this, it would frighten her.

As for the eldest lady's words, they were also reasonable, and even made Chu Xianzhao feel stable.

His current identity is Shen Sanqian's illegitimate son, and the illegitimate child is the most unpopular, if he is directly allowed to control the power of the family, maybe he will affect the whole body, and let those who have ulterior motives for the Shen family get together to engage in conspiracy, so that a gradual approach is the safest.

Seeing that his expression was calm and did not show dissatisfaction, the eldest lady was more and more satisfied with him and worried at the same time, so she asked more: "Although the Shen family is rich and rivals the country, but Shinong Industry and Commerce are still deep-rooted identities, do you think it is a shame to be a businessman?"

Chu Xianzhao shook his head and said: "I don't think there is a high or low level in Shinong businessmen, scholars should not discriminate against businessmen, and businessmen do not have to look up to scholars, everyone can perform their duties, but I may not be suitable to be a businessman." ”

Hearing Chu Xuanzhao say that, the eldest lady's face became softer and softer: "After all, this is the inheritance left by the ancestors, and sooner or later it will be handed over to you, and after you are familiar with everything in Luoyang City, you will start to take over your father's burden, at any time your identity is an illegitimate child, but it is also your father's bloodline, and there may be many people who will oppose it when you first take over."

But I'm definitely going to support you, and when you get acquainted with it, it will be easy. ”

Chu Xianzhao glanced at the woman deeply, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

The eldest lady said softly: "Tang Huang, you must know what happened to your father, you have to take over his burden, but you don't want to be the second Shen Sanqian, I believe he doesn't want you to die in Luoyang City, you have to understand the truth of arrows shooting birds, there are some things you have to start planning, even if you don't want to do business, think about what you are doing here, whether to be a lazy rich young master or to make a career in Luoyang City."

"After all, no one is as young as your father, and in the end there is a chance to be a late bloomer, do things in a down-to-earth manner, marry a wife and have children, and live a safe life, which is what your deceased mother wants to see. ”

Chu Xianzhao held the teacup and was silent, and at this time, a servant girl trotted to the eldest lady and whispered something in her ear.

The eldest lady glanced at Chu Xianzhao deeply, and said: "It seems that you have begun to have a relationship with the people in the court, your father's student, that Lu Qi, he wants to invite you to his mansion, and the carriage is ready at the door, you can go." ”

Only then did Chu Xianzhao think of Lu Qi's matter, put down the teacup, and looked thoughtfully at the falling snow outside the pavilion.

——

The snow-white boy emerged from the snow-covered carriage, and an umbrella was placed over his head to keep the snow out, and only a slight cold wind ran through his sleeve.

Lu Qi had already greeted Chu Xianzhao's arrival outside the door, holding an umbrella to block the falling snow for Chu Xuanzhao, and the guards behind him pressed the handle of their knives and stood silently behind Lu Qi.

These days, he is familiar with the environment in the Shen family's manor, and the two sisters of the Shen family plan to take him to the city tomorrow, but they didn't expect that Lu Wei would send a carriage to the Shen family's manor tonight and let him come to his house in person.

The eldest lady said that Lu Kui's father, Lu Yanran, used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court, and Lu Kui is now also the attendant of the household department, since Chu Xianzhao had a relationship with the people of the imperial court when he first came, she guessed that the reason why Shen Taisui asked Chu Xian to summon Luoyang City was to find an official and a half-position for him, so he went.

Chu Xianzhao was wearing a blue-gray brocade shirt, with a pure white fur collar on his shoulders, dark gold patterns on his sleeves, and his face was still wearing a rooting mask that concealed his appearance, with that snow-white hair, he looked very handsome and spiritual.

"Tang Gongzi, please come here. ”

Lu Wei remembered the fake name he had summoned for Chu Xuan, but when Shen Huayu was having breakfast today, he blurted out and shouted to him Did Chu Gongzi sleep comfortably last night, which caused a strange look on the face of the lady at the table, and he was so frightened that he almost spit the dumplings in his mouth into her face.

Shen Huayu, who knew that his mouth was in trouble, stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and swore to him never to shout these three words again.

Lu Qi

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to himself and brought him into the mansion, this mansion did not have the wealth and pride of the Shen family's manor, only to see the green bamboo in the courtyard swaying slightly, the bamboo leaves were covered with snow, and the rockery by the pool seemed to have become a small snow mountain.

There weren't many people walking around in the mansion, compared to the servants in the Shen family's manor who knelt down when they saw their masters, the servants here passed by him with a slight salute and expressionless after seeing the head of the family, Lu Qi, without even saying hello.

Lu Wei put his hands in his sleeves and said softly: "Not long after my father passed away, my mother also followed me due to depression and long-term illness, and I was the only one left in our family who stayed in the boudoir pavilion, whose name is Lu Guan'er, who is as old as Huayu, and now that the night is very deep, she may have slept, otherwise I will let her come out to see you." ”

Chu Xianzhao nodded slightly, and followed Lu Qi to the depths of the Lu Mansion, and the guards with knives accompanied him all the way, squinting to observe the white-haired young man.

Lu Kui pushed open the door of the Buddha Hall and let Chu Xianzhao walk in, the light inside the Buddha Hall was dim, a golden-bodied lotus Buddha was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his face clearly, and the cold moonlight fell from the window, adding a silver white to this dark Buddha Hall.

Lu Qi's mother believes in Buddhism, and this Buddhist hall was built by his father specifically for his mother in the mansion, but now there is a person sitting on the futon on the floor of the Buddhist hall, waiting for the arrival of Chu Xianzhao and Lu Qi.

The man sitting on the futon wore a silk hat like a rich man, a silk robe was extremely luxurious, and a jade wrench on his thumb, and the only thing that conflicted with the rich man's identity was a long knife that he placed on his knees.

It wasn't until the two arrived that the man slowly opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying cold light under his slightly dark eyelids.

Chu Xianzhao's heart tightened slightly when he saw this stranger, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the sword behind him, but his hand was held down by Lu Qi.

The man slowly stood up and knelt down on one knee, holding the scabbard against his chest, and said to Lu Qi: "It is a pleasure to see you again, my brother, if you go forward, you must retreat, and the light will pierce the darkness, and when we pass through the darkness, the light of the shadow moon will shine on us, and wherever we go, it will be brilliant." ”

"Radiant!"

Lu Wei put his hands on his chest in the same posture and knelt down on one knee in the same posture, his expression extremely reverent.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the two people in the Buddha hall in confusion, is it really appropriate to make such a strange worship posture in front of the big Buddha?

The orange sect mantis asked Lu Wei, "Is that him?"

"It's him, the Lord of the Apocalypse that the Shadow Moon Sect has been waiting for for many years, the Holy Maiden is now with Lord Shen, they are going to Heiyi City to buy the Black Water Army, Lord Shen specially asked me to bring the Lord of the Apocalypse to the setting sun for the Great Sect Master to see. ”

After hearing Lu Qi's words, this burly man knelt down in front of Chu Xianzhao without hesitation, and said in a trembling voice with deep awe: "God."

The Dao collapsed, the royal Dao rose, and the forty-ninth generation of the Shadow Moon Sect's Great Sect Master, the Orange Sect, welcomed the young monarch to the world. ”

The four words of the Lord of the Apocalypse echoed in the Buddha Hall, as if even the candle flame had dimmed a little under the weight of the name.

Chu Xianzhao watched in surprise as the strange man bowed to him, trembling all over, and couldn't help himself with excitement.

"What did you just call me?"

"Shaojun, since you are our King of the Apocalypse, I also believe that you will become the future king of the world, it is not appropriate to call you by your name,"

Chu instantly summoned the burly man in front of him who was crying, and subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but was pressed by Lu Qi on his back.

He felt the feeling of being bowed down again, and suddenly realized that no matter where he went, he seemed to be regarded as hope.

From His Royal Highness the Third Prince, to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and then to the current Shaojun, unfamiliar titles have appeared in his life.

If one day he dies, what will the people of the world call him?

It wasn't until the man wiped away his tears that Chu Xianzhao saw his appearance clearly, his face was dignified, his eyebrows were extremely thick, and he seemed to be a little tired between his eyebrows and eyes.

The Orange Sect looked at Chu Xuanzhao, and his eyes showed very complicated emotions.

Lu Kui introduced the identity of the man in front of him to Chu Xianzhao, "This is our Wuyang General of the Daqing Dynasty, Orange Sect, who is known as the "Mantis General" in the imperial court, "I am also the first person to use a knife in my Qingguo, find a time, you two can have a discussion, we have more important things to talk about tonight." ”

The orange sect mantis laughed at himself: "Mantis general, how can the reputation of the nine generals of the Dragon King be so big, when I heard that the old boy of the dragon mastiff actually planted his head in the concubine pass, that joy was from head to toe, and now his face hurts, right?"

Lu Wei said: "The person who defeated the Long Wu Mastiff is now sitting in front of the general. ”

"When I saw it today, I really had an extraordinary temperament, and Shaojun asked someone to bow down. ”

Lu Qi said to Chu Xuanzhao: "Your arrival means a lot to us, it is said that the cold god who was sealed in the abyss of the extreme north will awaken again, the existence of the Shadow Moon Sect is to fight against this unimaginable power, and you are the king of the apocalypse in our doctrine, leading the kings of the whole world to end the existence of the cold god, the great general in front of you is the great sect master of the Shadow Moon Sect, he will not harm you, you can trust him." ”

"Lord Shen is the one who asked me to take you to meet the Great Sect Master, he is one of the few people in this city who can help you, you can let him see your face. ”

Only then did Chu Xianzhao remember that he didn't bring a sword out, but he was constantly looking at the man in front of him.

Whether it is Ying Liyang or Shen Taisui, they all regard themselves as being able to save the world

The Born Lord of the Apocalypse, it seems that this conversation is likely to determine the fate of himself and even the future of the world.

He took a deep breath, deftly turned over the rooting skin on his face with two fingers, revealing a face that was not much more handsome than Fang Cai, bowed to the general, and said: "In Xia Chu instantaneously, I have seen the general of Wuyang, I don't know what advice the general has?"

"Out of this door, I am the Great General of Qingguo Wuyang, and when I enter this door, I am the Great Sect Master of the Shadow Moon Sect, and Shaojun is the Lord of the Apocalypse in our doctrine, it should be me who kneels to Shaojun. ”

A hint of joy finally appeared on the face of the orange left mantis, his eyes trembled slightly as he looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Chu Xianzhao's hair.

For a moment, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, as if to confirm whether he was real.

Lu Wei coughed lightly and said, "General, it's time for us to get down to business." ”

The orange sect mantis laughed out loud, and the laughter echoed in the Buddha hall especially heartily, "Good! good!

Chu Xuan looked at this middle-aged man who looked like a rich man, and subconsciously smiled: "The Great General has passed the award, I don't know what the Shadow Moon Sect in the General's mouth came from, and what the King of the Apocalypse is, how did you know about my existence?"

In front of him is the general Wuyang of the Daqing Dynasty, in addition to the nine generals of the Dragon King, the first heavy general of the dynasty and the master of the sword technique, holding heavy troops outside the city of Luoyang, and the relationship with the nine generals of the Dragon King is neither friendly nor hostile.

After all, the Daqing Dynasty is a dynasty supported by dragoons, and it is naturally the proud dream of the Daqing men to become a dragoon, and this pride is reflected in the dragoons as a proud general, looking down on all the arms of the world dynasty, even if they disdain the soldiers of their own dynasty, thinking that they do not need to exist at all, it is better to cancel these useless armies and allocate their salaries to the dragon warrior army, so that they can equip the dragoons to be more powerful, only in this way can the Daqing country be stabilized.

"It's not an award. ”

The orange sect mantis lowered his head and stroked the cowhide scabbard, and pushed the Milky Way knife out for half a point, just reflecting Chu Xianzhao's face on the knife surface, and sighed softly: "The young monarch is famous in the Southern Continent countries as a concubine Guan Dragon Slayer, and the little emperor can't wait to swallow you alive, so that we, the soldiers who have been pressed by the dragoons for many years, are extremely admired. ”

"The battle of Concubine Pass has given me a lot of fame, but I have lost a lot of my subordinates and friends, but I am no longer the Chu Xianzhao I was at that time, and now I don't want to do anything about Yinguo for the time being. ”

Orange Zong said: "Since the Battle of Concubine Pass, some people here in Nanlu have begun to pay attention to Shaojun, but I didn't expect you to escape from the Yin Kingdom on the day of the wedding and become a traitor in the world." I couldn't figure it out at the time

Yes, the Iron Emperor Chu Xiaohua will actually expel his son, if I have a son like Shaojun, how can I let him leave his hometown like a lost dog, I won't ask the reason for Shaojun, but I don't think you want to tell us these outsiders, everyone has their own helplessness, but Shaojun, you are indeed our Emperor of the Apocalypse. ”

"What is the Monarch of the Apocalypse, why did Shen Taisui kneel on the spot when he saw me as if he had seen an ancestor, obviously I didn't know him at all. You, Lu Kui and Shen Sanqian, why do you all seem to know me, or are you waiting for me?" Chu Xianzhao asked.

"We have been waiting for Shaojun for many, many years. The way of God collapsed, the royal way rose, and the kings took over the power of the gods to rule the world, until the cold darkness reawakened in the abyss.

"Before that, a king will emerge and slay all the dragons in the world with a flaming sword, and finally lead the heroes of the world to the far north to dispel the dark gods. ”

"There are many people who have slain dragons in history, are you sure that the Lord of the Apocalypse in your mouth is me?"

Orange Sect Mantis said: "Before you arrived in the Southern Continent, each of us got the "revelation" again, in the "revelation" we saw your figure, saw you and the former princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, our holy daughter of the Shadow Moon Sect, it was your arrival that made us see the "Apocalypse" Each of us is waiting for your arrival. ”

Chu Xianzhao asked, "What kind of sect is the Shadow Moon Sect from, I have heard of many sects in the Tianxia Dynasty, but I have never heard of the existence of the Shadow Moon Sect. ”

"In the eyes of the Daqing royal family, the Shadow Moon Sect is a rat living in the gutter, once exposed to the sun, it will be burned alive by their dragon flames, and in unnecessary circumstances, we will never claim our existence, and even our family members have to hide it, for fear of causing them and leaking their identity." ”

"Who the hell is the Lord of the Apocalypse?"
