Willie conversed in the study with his father, Greene, a division commander in the Fifth Army with the title of Viscount.

Green looked at his son, Willy is very talented in martial arts, and has been cultivated to the second level, in the aristocratic circle, except for the two demons of Rist and Wright, Willy is already a very outstanding genius, higher than Green's own talent in martial arts, after all, Green is not a general who is good at martial arts.

But Willie still gives Green a headache, Willy's personality is very different from Green's, Green's personality is calm and old, and he has a city. But his son Willie is indeed an impulsive and scheming person.

"How much do you know about Lin Xia?" asked Green.

"His martial arts are very strong, he should not be weaker than me, and maybe even slightly stronger than me. Willie replied.

"Is that all?" Green continued, "Lin Xia is your opponent in this game, haven't you investigated him in the past six months?"

"There is no need to investigate, I just need to improve my martial arts as much as possible, even if the strength is not good, even if it is investigated, it is useless. Willie said.

Green looked at Willy, both pleased with his uprightness and straightforwardness, but also annoyed by one of his tendons, and said, "In the eyes of my father, Lin Xia's strength should be far superior to yours, and he should have reached the third level. ”

"Even if Lin Xia is already level three, I'm not afraid, I will only do my best. Willie said with a straight face.

"Lin Xia not only has a very high talent in martial arts, but he has also created his own power in Jiangnan, you know this, right?" said Green.

"It's just a gang, it's not a big deal. Willie said.

"What about his business? His global entertainment, global clothing, and global music, just these three incomes, are not weaker than our family's income. "Greenway.

"Doing business is just a sideshow, only martial arts is the foundation of the foothold. Willie said.

"Why can't you see through it, Lin Xia is already an absolute genius in martial arts, even Wright and Rist may not be able to reach the third level when they are fifteen years old. And Lin Xia can also establish his own power and business, you should know the situation of the Xilin family, it can be said that there is no one to ask for money or money. A fifteen-year-old boy who has reached this achievement without any reliance asked himself that I could not have done it when I was young. Green paused for a moment and continued: "From these places, it can be seen that Lin Xiajue is not an ordinary teenager, the Xilin family is very likely to bloom again because of Lin Xia, the Xilin family has never had such a character since the Tang Dynasty." ”

Willie didn't speak, just looked at Green with a stubborn expression.

Seeing that Willy didn't speak, Green said: "The rise and fall of a family cannot rely only on martial arts, wealth, power, prestige, and connections are all indispensable. Lin Xia is already a demon in martial arts, he knows how to accumulate wealth and establish his own power, several of his industries are making money every day, not to mention prestige, the Xilin family has never lacked this. The Xilin family has left the aristocratic circle in recent generations, and what they lack most is their connections, and with Lin Xia's ability, it won't take long to establish their own connections. ”

"Last time you had a misunderstanding with Lin Xia in front of the palace, you have to apologize to him and get along with him, the sooner you establish a relationship with Lin Xia, the greater the benefits will be in the future. Green continued.

"Hmph!" Willy snorted and said, "Then it depends on Lin Xia's ability, if he wins me, I don't mind apologizing to him for what happened before." But if he loses, it means that he and the Xilin family have been rubbish for generations, and there is no need to apologize. ”

"I want you to abstain in the ring tomorrow. "Greenway.

"Impossible!" said Willy immediately.

"You can't be Lin Xia's opponent, I'm also for your good, last time you offended him, it is inevitable that you will be hated by him, I am worried that he will hurt you in the competition. "Greenway.

"Skills are not as good as people, if you are injured, you will be injured. Willie said.

Green was very helpless about Willy's brain, and he couldn't wait to slap Willy and wake up this rebel. But he also knew that Willy's brains were not so easy to reverse, so he could only find a way by himself, and said in his heart: "It seems that I am going to Xilin's house." ”

Green sighed to himself and said to Willy, "Forget it, you go down first." ”

"Yes, father. Willy agreed, and turned to leave the study.

"Stay away from Bradley and the Fourth Army later. As Willie was on the way out, Green added.

......

Early in the morning, Lin Xia and Antonio's carriage had already arrived at the palace. Lin Xia looked at the palace gate and remembered that the last time he came was still spring, and now it was almost winter.

Lin Xia and Antonio were guided by the court attendants to the stands and the rest hall of the martial arts arena, respectively.

Antonio arrived early, the emperor and the military ministers had not yet arrived, only a few people from the minor nobles on the periphery. Antonio sat down in the last position on the left, closing his eyes and waiting for the review to begin.

But this time Antonio didn't expect that he had been ignored in the past, and all the military ministers greeted him one after another.

First of all, the division commander of the Fifth Army, Green, who was the first to arrive after Antonio, before returning to his own position, deliberately took a detour, came to greet Antonio, and shook hands cordially, praising Antonio for having a good son, and the rise of the Xilin family is promising. There was no estrangement at all because Willy was Lin Xia's opponent.

After that, Philip, the commander of the Fifth Army, smiled and nodded to Antonio after entering the stands.

Ferdinand, the commander of the Ninth Army, looked a little tired when he came, probably because he had just finished the war of the steppe people and had just returned to the emperor to rest well. But even so, he came to Antonio and gave Antonio a hug with his thick arms.

And the Imperial Prime Minister also talked to Antonio about some family things, and expressed the emperor's love for Lin Xia, he went to the birthday banquet of the finance minister's daughter, and recently also planned to invite Mandy to sing in the mansion.

The most exaggerated was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who grabbed Antonio's hand, praised Lin Xia again, and expressed his gratitude, which made Antonio completely confused.

Antonio would never have imagined such a situation, according to his previous experience, he should have sat alone in his position with his eyes closed, while others ignored him, but today it seemed to be the center of attention.

While Antonio was thinking, Emperor Charles arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted.

After Charlie sat down, he said, "Viscount Antonio, Lin Xia's martial arts skills have improved recently?"

Antonio never expected that the first words of His Majesty the Emperor's arrival would be to himself, and he hurriedly got up and replied: "Lin Xia has cultivated hard, and he has made a little progress recently. ”

"Not bad. Charlie said to everyone again: "Lin Xia Ke is not only talented in martial arts, but also unique in poetry, have you heard of it?"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Cook stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the songs written by Lin Xia are widely circulated in the imperial capital, and the minister's two little daughters are very fond of them. Some time ago, Miss Mandy went to the house to sing, and Lin Xia's song was indeed very beautiful when sung by Miss Mandy. After speaking, he glanced at the others, and saw that the other people looked slightly envious, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was very proud.

"Oh, I've heard it's very difficult to get Miss Mandy. There is only one album of Mandy in the palace. Charlie asked with a little interest.

"Yes, Miss Mandy rarely shows up to sing, and it took a lot of effort to get it. Cook said triumphantly.

Because the emperor liked poetry, as the so-called upward and downward effect, all Charlemagne's officials studied poetry, and everyone joined in the discussion, and they were all very envious of Cook being able to invite Mandy.

Only Antonio felt foggy about everyone's conversation, but fortunately, he also heard that both poetry and Mandy were related to Lin Xia, and he felt very relieved.

Because Lin Xia was the one Charlie appointed to participate in the school review, the more everyone praised Lin Xia, the happier he became, and even said: "This son is talented, this son is talented." ”

............

Under the guidance of the palace attendants, Lin Xia walked towards the rest hall of the martial arts arena, and on the way, Lin Xia thought that the fat man Wright didn't know if he had arrived.

When I entered the lounge, I was the first to arrive, so I found a place to sit down. Before he could sit down, a big fat man came in at the door, shouting at Lin Xia: "Lin Xia, do you miss me?"

Lin Xia looked up and saw that this Wright really couldn't help but chatter, and just remembered that he was here. Although Wright's clothes are clean, his image feels extremely sloppy, especially the full beard, which looks like he hasn't shaved in months.

Lin Xia got up and said, "Wright, you dead fat man came so late." ”

After the fat Wright entered the lounge, he gave Lin Xia a bear hug, and the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they felt more cordial.

"What's the matter with this beard, by the way, you're only seventeen years old, why did your beard grow so thick?" Lin Xia quipped to Wright's beard, this Charlemagne Continent is too precocious.

"Of course you little hairy kid don't understand, you are called a man when you have a beard. Wright also touched his beard as he spoke, and continued: "During this time, I followed the old bastard to march and fight, how can I have time to take care of myself, I just returned to the imperial capital yesterday, I wanted to take a rest, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so anxious to continue the review." ”

"It seems that you haven't rested well, and even if I win you, it will be dishonorable. Lin Xia said.

"I'm afraid we don't have a chance, my opponent in this round is Lister, I didn't think I would beat him. It's your good luck that you met Willy's kid, and with your third-level strength, you can abuse him as much as you want. Wright said.

"I thought I would have to draw lots again in half a year. Since the two couldn't meet, Lin Xia didn't tell Wright that he had been promoted to the fourth level.

"Alright, you kid can steal the fun. After today's competition, don't forget to invite me to drink. Wright said.

"Haha, no problem. Lin Xia said cheerfully.

As the two spoke, Rist and Willy arrived quickly. Rist had a sword in his hand, still expressionless as always. And after Willy came in, he looked at Lin Xia and gave Lin Xia a provocative look.

And Lin Xia didn't bother to pay attention to Willy at all, he was level four, and he was still competing with a second-level scumbag, wouldn't that lower his grade.

Lin Xia and Wright were chatting, Rister was sitting on the side and pretending to sleep, and Willy was walking around the lounge, he was thinking about whether it was true that Green said that Lin Xia was already level three, and he was a little nervous.

In fact, Willy looked down on Lin Xia in his heart, and he also looked down on the Xilin family. felt that the Xilin family was nothing more than the shadow of the Lionheart King Tang, and with the ridiculous heirs of the Xilin family for generations, the Xilin family should have been removed from the Charlemagne Empire a long time ago.
