Outside the east gate of the imperial city.

"Prime Minister Zhuge , you rely on General Ling so much, but he doesn't appreciate it, and he doesn't give the prime minister face!"

One of the ministers said with a sullen face.

"Hmph, Ling Xiao is too presumptuous, he dares to thin the prime minister's face!"

"If the prime minister... So I sent for him...!"

A minister said, with a grim look in his eyes, and raised his hand in a posture to wipe his neck.

Obviously, this minister had murderous intent and wanted to kill Ling Xiao.

"Shut up!"

Zhuge Chengyu's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily at a group of ministers.

Although within the Royal Gorge, the cultivation was suppressed.

But it is rumored that Ling Xiao's strength is terrifying, and the last time he made a move, he could be forced down by Princess Chenyue.

If you take the initiative to provoke Ling Xiao, it will inevitably be detrimental to yourself.

What is in his heart is not known to these fools?

Seeing Prime Minister Zhuge angry, the ministers immediately shut up and bowed their heads silently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Ling is a young and heroic man, a pillar of the future of the country, and we should be gratified to be appreciated by Princess Chenyue and respected by the emperor. How can such a pillar of the country do what he does? ”

Zhuge Chengyu said impassionedly, and at the same time gestured to the sky and loess, and never did anything that could ignore his conscience.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, I am wrong!"

A cadre of ministers bowed their heads and arched their hands.

"Let's all retreat!"

Zhuge Chengyu waved his hand towards a cadre of ministers and said lightly.

"Yes!"

The ministers responded, and they dispersed.

After waiting for the ministers to leave, Zhuge Chengyu walked towards the carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhuge Chengyu squinted his eyes slightly, with a look of an old god, and slowly opened his mouth and said: "This person must be killed, otherwise it will hurt me!"

"Yes!"

A deep sound came from the frame position.

...

The south gate of the Imperial City.

The people of the Ruthless Sword Sect were about to leave.

That's when --

"General Ling, please wait!"

Listening to the shout, everyone in the Ruthless Sword Sect was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked back.

I saw a figure running towards the city gate.

"Hey, isn't that the old eunuch beside Princess Chenyue?"

"Yes, he just shouted Ling Xiao, could it be something?"

Ling Xiao saw that the old eunuch was running up and running, and his face was flushed, and he looked a little nondescript.

A few breaths--

The old eunuch stood in front of Ling Xiao, panting roughly, almost unable to straighten his waist.

"Father-in-law, I don't know what's going on?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile on his face.

"General Ling... Her Royal Highness the Princess has a decree that you will accompany her to the hunting grounds tomorrow!"

The old eunuch breathed slowly, and as he spoke, he spoke for a long time before he could squeeze out a sentence.

"Yes, when?"

Ling Xiao frowned and immediately asked.

"Chenshi, the east gate of the imperial city!"

The old eunuch's face returned to his former look and said to Ling Xiao.

"Yes, I know!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Well, I have already conveyed my will, and I will go back to serve the princess!"

The old eunuch took a deep breath and said indifferently.

He felt fortunate in his heart, fortunately he arrived in time, if he was missing a moment, he could only go out of the imperial city to find Ling Xiao.

"Congratulations to my father-in-law!"

Ling Xiao bowed his head and watched the old eunuch leave.

However, just as the old eunuch left, Zilan frowned, walked to Ling Xiao's side, and whispered, "Ling Xiao, Princess Dust Moon summoned you to the hunting ground, there must be something important to discuss with you!"

Ling Xiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, how do I know what Princess Dust Moon has summoned me?

"Hmm!"

Zilan felt that what Ling Xiao said was reasonable, and immediately nodded slightly.

Subsequently, the people of the Sword Sect went directly to Ling Xiao's General's Mansion.

The general's mansion, but Princess Chenyue gave it to Ling Xiao as the residence of the capital.

Ling Xiao is now a second-grade hussar general in the official residence, a member of the second-rank court, and he actually has no mansion, if he lets the world know, wouldn't he be ashamed of the court of the Canglong Kingdom?

...

The group walked for a while, and then came to a rather real mansion, and the plaque of "General's Mansion" hung above the vermilion lacquer gate.

On both sides of the gate, there are two majestic lions, and they are guarded by fully armed soldiers.

This place was originally the resting house of Princess Dusty Moon, but an hour ago, they received a decree from Princess Dusty Moon to use this place as the residence of the second-rank hussar general.

At that time, they were still stunned, Princess Chenyue actually gave her favorite Xiyuan to a second-class member of the imperial court.

However, they didn't dare to snub Princess Chenyue's order, and immediately cleaned the courtyard from the ground up, and even replaced the plaque and turned it into the General's Mansion.

Dozens of soldiers at the door saw a group of people coming, and suddenly squinted slightly.

I remembered that when Princess Dust Moon sent someone, the hussar general mentioned was a young man, and he was also a disciple of the Ruthless Sword Sect.

Looking at such a person, it is very likely that he is a member of the Ruthless Sword Sect.

"Guys, may I ask you are the Ruthless Sword Sect?"

A soldier hurriedly walked down the steps and asked towards the Ruthless Sword Sect.

"We are the people of the Ruthless Sword Sect!"

Seeing the saluting soldiers, the Ruthless Elder nodded and smiled.

"Is there General Ling among them?"

Seeing that the leader said that he was a member of the sword faction, the soldier's face showed joy.

"I'm Ling Xiao!"

Ling Xiao stepped out and said sonorously.

"Under Mo Cong, meet General Ling!"

The soldier shouted loudly and bowed down to Ling Xiao.

When the soldiers at the door heard Mo Cong's shouting, their faces were shocked, and they reacted instantly, and immediately knelt on their knees, raised their arms and shouted, "Meet General Ling!"

The disciples of the Sword Sect were extremely shocked when they saw many soldiers kneeling and bowing.

I never thought that Ling Xiao, as a general, would be able to be so bowed down by the soldiers.

"Hurry up, please!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand and said to the dozens of soldiers kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, thank you, General!"

The soldiers slowly got up from the ground.

"General, I'll show you the way!"

Mo Cong smiled and arched his hand towards Ling Xiao, and then looked at the people of the Sword Sect.

"Good!"

Ling Xiao nodded and smiled.

"Everyone, please!"

Mo Cong stretched out his hand to make a gesture of "please", and led the way for the people of the Sword Sect in front.

The Sword Sect and his party immediately followed Mo Cong's footsteps and walked straight towards the mansion.

As soon as he walked into the General's Mansion, Ling Xiao looked ahead, and at a distance of about two hundred steps, he saw a low and wide building behind the Shadow Pavilion.

The gate is closed, there is a small field in front of it, and all kinds of weapons and some stone locks and stone piers are placed around, which must be the martial arts hall.

It was the time for the lunch break, so it was empty.

Bypassing the martial arts hall, the scenery changed suddenly.

Behind is a pond that divides the General's Mansion into two distinct areas, and the garden courtyard looming behind the green trees is the Houfu.

A wooden arch bridge collapsed over the pond and became the only way to the backyard.

Under the sun, the surface of the pond reflects the light of broken gold, and the purple water lilies are blooming in the water, and the reflection of the green trees makes it even more delicate and soft, refreshing and chic.

Close your eyes and listen, there is the sound of flowing water slowly into your ears, presumably the pool is the living water drawn from the Yong'an Canal, which is more refreshing.

The disturbing heat seems to have dissipated in all directions, and the mood has returned to a clear and clear calm.

The pond is surrounded by green trees, colorful summer flowers, and the frogs and cicadas are lively and funny, making people forget that they are in the general's mansion at this time, and forget the tense atmosphere before, but it is like entering a fairyland on earth.
