When Lu Yun returned to Congshanfang, it was already sunset. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As soon as Info saw him, the neighbors greeted him warmly, and there was a hint of stuttering in his tone.

Even if Lu Xin didn't succeed in replacing Lu Jian, the clansmen would no longer avoid him as before. Because Lu Yun is already one of the four candidates in the clan to participate in the big competition, in the next year's ranking of nine-grade officials, the worst will be third-grade officials, and Lu Jian can't suppress him!

Lu Yun still felt very uncomfortable with this kind of compliment, but he could already maintain a polite smile and respond politely to other people's greetings. It's not like when I was in Yuhang, I don't fit in with my surroundings......

I don't know if this is a growth or a sophistication. But people have to adapt to life now, don't they?

As soon as he returned home, he saw a gorgeous carriage parked in the courtyard, with the family emblem of Cui Valve, and the Cui Valve's guard who watched the carriage recognized Lu Yun and hurriedly saluted him: "Lu Gongzi is back." ”

"Uh......" Lu Yun also remembered this person, who should be one of the guards escorting Mrs. Cui's mother and daughter to the north. But I couldn't remember what his name was, so I had to be slightly embarrassed and said, "Hello." Is Mrs. Choi here? ”

"My lady and lady have come to visit Lingtang," the guard smiled, "and I'm still talking later." ”

Lu Yun nodded, and had to go in to meet Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui was talking with Mrs. Lu in the back hall, and when she saw Lu Yun coming in, she smiled and said, "You kid is out of luck, your aunt dares to hide out when she comes to the door, do you say you should be punished." ”

Lu Yun respectfully saluted Mrs. Cui, then knelt down and said, "The little nephew doesn't know that my aunt is coming to the door today, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out and run around." ”

"That's pretty much it." Mrs. Cui looked Lu Yun up and down eagerly, and saw that a chill ran down his spine. She smiled and said, "I heard that you won the championship in the competition of the land valve, and my aunt came to congratulate you. ”

"It's just a test in the valve, it's nothing." Lu Yun replied softly: "Maybe it will be a mess to lose next year, but it will make my aunt laugh." ”

"That won't be." Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Aunt has long known that you are not a thing in the pool, and you will definitely be able to soar next year." After speaking, she said with a look on her face: "But it's really careless." My Cui family, as well as Pei Valve's boys, are all outrageous...... I heard that the children sent by several other families this time are also rare geniuses. When the time comes, there will be a fierce fight. ”

Lu Yun nodded, deeply impressed by Mrs. Cui's words. These days, Lu Wei has repeatedly emphasized that this big competition is definitely the most difficult since the founding of the country. Each family has produced some extremely outstanding talents, and in the first few big competitions, there is no doubt that they can win the championship.

It's as if God deliberately arranged for these extremely powerful young people to be born together and then compete in the same field.

Lu Yun patiently talked with Mrs. Lu for a while, and then withdrew, "I won't bother my aunt and mother to talk." ”

"Go, go, Ning'er has asked several times, when will you come back." Mrs. Cui nodded with a smile on her face.

Lu Yun shuddered and came out of the back hall.

As soon as he came out, he was patted on the back, and he heard Cui Ning'er's crisp voice: "Where did you go?" ”

Lu Yun looked back helplessly, and saw that Miss Cui and his sister were standing side by side, two beauties like flowers and jade, and they were fascinated by the sunset.

"He's got a good day off, and of course he's going to go out to breathe." Lu Ying glanced at Lu Yun resentfully, but didn't forget to help him explain.

"Really, it's so easy to come here...... Cui Ning'er pouted, took Lu Ying's arm, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Sister is at home." ”

Lu Yun nodded when he heard this: "Yes, you and my sister have a good time, and I will be out of company." After saying that, I wanted to hurry away.

"Stop!" Seeing that he looked like he couldn't avoid it, Cui Ning stomped his foot angrily.

Lu Yun had no choice but to stand still and look at her helplessly.

"Still angry about what happened last time? Didn't I apologize to you? Cui Ning'er whispered, pulled Lu Yun's sleeve and said, "At most, I won't use you as a shield in the future." ”

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered and said, "You mean Xie Tian, I didn't care about it for a long time." ”

Cui Ning'er was made angry by his non-salty and non-salty attitude, and sneered: "But someone cares about it very much!" You don't know yet, Xie Bo of Xie Valve has already issued a war letter to you through the Detective Office! ”

"Xie Bo?" Lu Yun quickly retrieved this name in his mind, it was not the four candidates of Xie Valve, but he did have some impressions. Soon, he found the mark of this person from his memory-the 420th place on the Xuan Rank List of the Secret Mansion.

He couldn't remember the name of the Cui Valve's guard, but he remembered the thousands of names on the Xuan Rank list clearly. I even remember that the Detective Mansion recorded that this person is now twenty-five years old, Xie Valve is a sideline, and he once participated in the last Jiupin official rating, was rated as the middle and upper fourth, and was awarded the eight-grade Jingzhao Mansion to catch thieves and join the army. And in an arrest five years ago, with the power of one person, he captured a Xuan-rank powerhouse, so he was on the Xuan-level list, and his official character was also improved.

But after that, this person never made a move, but he was promoted to the sixth rank step by step, and his ranking in the Detective Mansion also dropped again and again, and now he is only ranked 420.

"You must not have heard of him," Cui Ning'er couldn't care about being angry with Lu Yun, and warned him with a tense face: "But my eldest brother said that this person's skills are far superior to that idiot of Xie Tian, but he will be ranked below him if he is not visible." ”

"Since he is so low-key, why do you want to stand up for Xie Tian?" Lu Ying said angrily.

"I'm afraid I was ordered by the valve." Cui Ning'er, a descendant of the lineage, has a far better understanding of the inside of the gate valve than Lu Ying, and she explained to the two of them seriously: "In the gate valve, everyone must obey the arrangement of the valve, and many powerful characters like him are required not to be in the limelight, in order to hide their own strength, and when something happens, it is good to surprise them." After a pause, she said with a worried face: "My eldest brother said that Xie Bo's current skills are only afraid that he is no longer under him!" ”

"Uh......" Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, and asked timidly: "Who is your eldest brother?" Isn't it amazing? ”

"What?" Cui Ning'er almost fell to the ground, her eyes widened, and she stared at Lu Yundao like a hillbilly: "You don't even know my eldest brother Bai Yu Gongzi?" ”

"White Feather Childe?" Lu Yun looked confused, and said in his heart that it was like a bird's name.

"White Feather Child, I've heard of it." Lu Ying said excitedly: "I always heard those sisters say that there are four sons in the capital, and Cui Baiyu, the son of Bai Yu, is the most handsome one among them!" As she spoke, she looked at Lu Yun and shook her head again, as if she didn't quite agree with this statement.

"Of course, my eldest brother is much better looking than this milky guy, and more importantly, he is a hundred times better than him. No, 10,000 times! Cui Ning'er immediately echoed excitedly, but it sounded more like she was hitting Lu Yun.

Lu Yun naturally didn't notice it, he was just thinking about the names on the Xuan Rank list, but there was no one named Cui Baiyu. couldn't help but secretly say: "Could it be that this Cui Baiyu is already a grandmaster?" ”

"My eldest brother is not on the list, but that's because he never does anything with anyone." Cui Ning'er seemed to see Lu Yun's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "But my grandfather said that he only needs a layer of window paper to get through the second vein of Ren Du!" ”

"Ahh Lu Ying was taken aback: "Could it be that Xie Bo is the same?" ”

"Yes." Cui Ning'er didn't care about showing off her brother at this time, and anxiously persuaded Lu Yundao: "You hurry up and talk to Lu Valve's elders, let them go and talk to Xie Valve, and let that Xie Bo withdraw the battle letter!" After a pause, he said: "At the very least, it has to be delayed until next year, and when you finish the big competition, he won't dare to kill you!" ”

After Lu Yun participated in the big competition, he would be awarded an official position immediately, even if he only got the lowest upper and lower three grades, he would also be awarded a seven-grade official position. Xie Bo is also an official of the imperial court, so he naturally has to be suspicious of him......

"Thank you." Lu Yun nodded, and sincerely thanked Cui Ning'er. This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, if Xie Bo is only one line away from the ground level, and he wins the battle by himself, wouldn't he not recruit his own roots?

But losing to Xie Bo is absolutely unacceptable, that will seriously affect his official rating in the coming year!
