"Hall Master Lei, I heard that you were on your way back from Western Xia, and Xia Ji, who was still a general at the time..."
"Qiqi, don't worry, I don't have green you. β
"Oh, why can the Lei Hall Master have such a natural expression? I have heard many people tell the details, saying that the Lei Hall Master ran to the general's house in the middle of the night, and the lonely men and widows were in the same room, and they only came out together the next day. β
β...β
"I also heard that when the general went around pulling people, he would say that nothing had happened to him and you, and that he was forced. β
The one-meter-four Thunder Hall Master lowered his head and clenched his fists.
It's just that...
Now she is the boss of the royal capital rivers and lakes, and she will be the boss of the big Zhou rivers and lakes in the future, so she can't be angry.
She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
Wang Qiqi looked quite comfortable, and seemed to have a close relationship with this grandfather's righteous daughter all of a sudden, "Okay, Hall Master Lei, what are you looking for me?"
Lei Jingyun took a few deep breaths, and then said: "The elder wants to help the Marquis of Xiaoyao to be the king, and the queen has mentioned it a few times, but it is difficult to speak alone, and she can't get support, and now she has the support of the elder pavilion, but there is still something missing." β
Wang Qiqi naturally understood, and she pointed her fingers up one by one and said: "First, personal strength, second, merit." Now the merits of Xiaoyao Hou include the killing of the anti-king year without night, the victory of the Western Xia competition, and the slaughter of demons in the deep palace, but these are not enough..."
Lei Jingyun said lightly: "Now, Elder Ge has thought of an idea, first of all, I will help Xiaoyao Hou establish the prestige of the rivers and lakes, and then I will ask General Luo Gu Hanluo to help Xiaoyao Hou establish the prestige of the military department. β
"Oh?
"The prestige of the rivers and lakes is easy, I can let many famous masters in the royal capital lose to Xiaoyaohou. β
"As for... The prestige of the military department, General Luo also gave us an idea, we only need to use the military department to talk, the bone jade sand table, and then let a few generals lose to Xiaoyao Hou in the sand table, so that it can be proved that Xiaoyao Hou is a genius of the military department.
In this way, and then the old cronies of the pavilion will invite three times and let them go, and it is natural for the Marquis of Xiaoyao to be crowned king. β
Wang Qiqi was silent after hearing this.
She is now Xia Ji's fiancΓ©e and the future princess of Xiaoyao, even if she doesn't like it in her heart, she will do her best to seek the best interests for her husband.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly said: "Tomorrow, I will go around to raise money and collect 300,000 taels of silver to relieve the victims in the name of Xiaoyaohou." β
"About this, Qiqi and Xiaoyaohou will talk about it, so that he can be prepared. β
"Well, naturally. β
...
...
Xia Ji slept all day, woke up and looked, and obtained another skill bead of [Fire Strategy].
However, it would take a full twenty-four hours to break through the eleventh layer and reach the transcendent level.
Luo Guhan is this good, he doesn't go, Luo Guhan doesn't ask, and he doesn't tell others, he is really a good teacher, but it's a pity... Everyone is just playing on the spot.
Xue Qianrou washed the pots and bowls early, and she and "Xiaoyaohou" had already eaten.
Although it was a little strange why Xiaoyao Hou didn't let her go to the third floor again, she didn't ask too much.
Goo-goo...
Xia Ji touched his stomach.
Look at the Class A table that has been packed up in a hurry.
"Let's go out to eat, and the light snow in the province will be tossed again. β
After thinking about it, he stretched his waist, put on a loose nightgown, put on the pitch-black sword box on his back, looked out the window, and it was snowing again, so he took a big black umbrella in his hand.
Descend to the deck, follow the non-slip wooden ladder, step over the right side of the boat, and walk into the snow.
I closed my eyes and felt the cold air, and the six-edged snowflakes fell on the uncombed black hair.
He grabbed his hair, then "brushed" the black umbrella open.
"Let's go to the south of the city tonight to eat soy sauce wontons, I often eat the big meals made by the imperial chef or the chef of the Qinglou, and I am really tired of eating. β
He walked alone on the road to the royal capital.
The sound of drinking and noisy drinking in the restaurant is very noisy, and there are many groups of people on the street, with different identities, friends, lovers...
Xia Ji felt the shadow of following behind...
He's not alone.
Tilt your head and let out a breath of heat.
Suddenly, he had a strange emotion.
Meditation releases his divine sense, he can cover dozens of miles, but if he doesn't do it deliberately, although he can't do it for dozens of miles, he can still clearly detect all the movements within thousands of meters.
Now, he noticed that a few people from the rivers and lakes were speeding towards him, and they looked menacing.
"Are you an assassin again?"
Xia Ji knew that Hongyun was on the side, and Bai Taohua was also there, and he didn't need to do anything on this occasion at all, he was a free marquis, and it was normal to have a master around him to protect him.
At the corner of the street, five men dressed as swordsmen suddenly walked out, staring at the person with their eyes, as if they were recognizing, and then blocked Xia Ji's way, and said sharply: "We are the Evergreen Sword Gate, the fifth son of the Sword Gate, and please teach the Marquis of Xiaoyao!!"
Xia Ji was stunned: "You know that I am Xiaoyaohou, and you still challenge me?"
The five swordsmen were very solemn, and then they unfolded separately, holding the hilt of the sword, a posture of starting hand, waiting for the battle, just look at this starting style, footwork, and standing, you know that these five people are not fancy, and they can also reach the level of first-class masters on the rivers and lakes, and if they are good at the peculiar combination method, then they can be compared to the top masters.
Xia Ji raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, and said lazily: "Give you three seconds, if you want to fight, I will also make wontons." β
I didn't expect the voice to fall...
The five people on the other side suddenly screamed.
One of the strong men shouted heartbreakingly: "Sword Qi!!"
Then on the other side, a smiling tiger-looking swordsman said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyao Hou, you have actually mastered the sword qi!"
"Before the sword is unsheathed, it is murderous!"
"The sword qi emitted from the fingertips, this... This..."
"We're served, we're evergreen five served!"
The five shouted, screamed, and ran away.
Xia Ji looked at his fingers: ...
The other party's acting skills are too realistic, and he is really a little skeptical at this moment, did he accidentally shoot out some sword qi?
Behind him, Bai Peach couldn't help but laugh softly with a "poof".
Xia Ji was speechless, looking at the snow in the sky, and suddenly felt a bit like white funny.
When he passed by the noodle shop, he took a look, and the little girl named Bingyun who was under the noodles in this noodle shop last year still hadn't come back, and she didn't know who took her away.
And this noodle restaurant made a fortune, and it seems that it is not doing business, so it closes its doors.
After a while.
He had already reached his destination, sat directly outside the soy sauce wonton shop, and shouted, "Boss, get down the ravioli, big bowl." β
The boss naturally recognized Xiaoyao Hou, this Hou Ye was extremely generous, and now he gave himself an extra silver tael, which was enough for him to eat for free for three years, so he hurriedly responded, "Okay, Hou Ye".
Xia Ji sat on the bench for a while, and suddenly a powerful momentum appeared in the darkness opposite, and immediately, a tall black shadow walked like a tiger walking, with a certain sense of oppression on his body.
In the lantern, the black shadow showed his figure, but he was a chivalrous man with a hideous face, a scar and a murderous aura.
Behind his back was the Devil's Head Knife, and the hilt protruding from the right shoulder was decorated with six skeletons, the skeleton's pupils were red, and it was obvious that there was some strange hidden weapon, toxin, or something else.
In short, this is a swordsman who has killed people, and he has killed a lot.
The wind was howling and the snow was falling.
The sound of the urn sounded word by word: "Xiaoyaohou?"
Xia Ji was waiting for the wonton with chopsticks, so he said directly: "No, you recognized the wrong person." β
"No, I won't admit my mistake!"
The black shadow slowly untied the ghost head knife: "A certain is the contemporary knife master Ling Lang of the Broken Door Knife, and there is also an old man on the list, I heard that Xiaoyaohou's martial arts are world-famous, so I came here to ask for advice!"
Xia Ji looked at this fierce and vicious appearance, and was about to say something.
But the black shadow had already pulled out the ghost head knife, and its body turned into a fierce wind, carrying the wind and snow, and rushed towards it with a roar, "Come on, Xiaoyao Hou!! The five tigers broke the door and cut !!"
Xia Ji raised his hand: "Wait." β
He didn't even have a ** to do it, what kind of knife master was faking to fight again.
Sure enough, Ling Lang's knife was cut empty, and the whole person rolled forward as if he was hit in the abdomen by a powerful force, and rolled over twice on the ground before he knelt half-neel, covered his chest with his left hand, blood oozed from his mouth, and spit out two words word by word: "Sword... gas..."
"The sword qi in the palm is like a torrent, sure enough, has the Marquis of Xiaoyao reached the transcendent realm?"
Ling Lang exclaimed as he quickly left.
The boss who came out with the wontons on the side was stunned when he saw this scene.
Ling Lang's sword master is quite famous, and his strength is definitely not weak, and he is unexpectedly...
Xiaoyaohou's sword box was still on his back, and the sword had not been drawn yet, and he didn't even move much before the owner of the Broken Door Knife suffered internal injuries?!!
This...
This kind of strength is really unfathomable.
"You... Please use it slowly. β
The ravioli is put down.
Xia Ji looked at the soy sauce soup and always felt that this soup was also funny.
