The Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is not in the city, but has a manor and castle alone, which is more than twenty miles away from Xuanwu City.

Shen Lang had only seen this castle from a distance before, and his heart was shocked by its grandeur, but with his identity, he was completely unqualified to enter the castle.

The Xu family is rich and strong, and it can be regarded as a strong party in Xuanwu City.

But the head of the Xu family can only enter this castle two or three times a year, and at most he is received by the housekeeper.

The Xu family's mansion is already big enough and rich enough, but it is nothing compared to the earl's mansion in front of them.

The counts of the Jin family, but they really have fiefs, which are completely different from those nobles who have empty titles.

In the past few hundred years, the fief of Count Xuanwu was more than 5,000 square kilometers at its largest. Later, due to the political turmoil, both the Great Yan Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom carried out a series of political reforms, so now the fief of Count Xuanwu is much smaller.

But even so, Count Xuanwu is still the supreme ruler of Xuanwu City.

The Xuanwu Earl's Mansion Manor is more than a few thousand acres, with its own fields, farms, orchards, wineries and so on.

The castle stands on a hill of two or three hundred meters, with an area of more than 100,000 square meters, the city wall is higher and thicker than Xuanwu City, and the defenders also exceed Xuanwu City.

Therefore, once there is a war and Xuanwu City is lost, this territory will not be counted.

And once the castle of the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is lost, then this area will really fall.

At this time, Shen Lang entered this castle with a history of hundreds of miles for the first time, among the most noble buildings in the entire Nujiang County.

......

Miss Xuanwu Earl's Mansion Miss Jin Mulan took off the silver armor on her whole body, and only a tight snakeskin suit was left on her body, which set off her devilish figure even more hot, with a firm mountain peak, and her round buttocks were almost torn out.

She has been practicing martial arts all year round, her height is higher than that of ordinary men, and her pair of long legs are unmatched, full of absolute strength and beauty. The body is slender and toned, and the body is so curved that people can't look at it directly.

Stripped of the snakeskin on her body, Mulan's hot body walked into the huge bath.

Every time I return with an army, the most comfortable thing is to take a hot bath.

After bathing, she put on a man's outfit and went to meet her parents.

Dressed in men's clothes, he looks more heroic and sassy, beautiful and glamorous.

"Meet your father, meet your mother!" Jin Mulan saluted.

The study of the Earl's Court is not so magnificent, but every object in it is a hundred years old, very sophisticated and restrained.

Even most of the books here are more than 100 years old.

Xuanwu Earl Jin Zhuo is in his fifties this year, handsome in appearance, with a peaceful temperament, only occasionally his eyes are like a sword as if he can penetrate people's hearts.

He is a martial artist, and his martial arts cultivation is very high, but most of the time he does not wear a sword, but holds a scroll in his hand all the year round.

He was in a high position, but he rarely wore brocade clothes, and most of the time he wore either cotton or linen clothes.

He rarely wears gold and silver, and the only thing that looks noble is this jade pendant around his waist.

"Mulan is back, how is this martial arts exercise?" asked Earl Xuanwu.

Jin Mulan said: "Yes, I didn't lose the face of the Jin family." ”

Earl Xuanwu smiled: "You said yes, that's good." ”

He looked at his daughter with a very loving and complicated gaze, and sighed softly: "If your brother has your three points of heroism, my Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is not afraid of no successor, but it's a pity that ......"

Jin Mulan said: "Father, is the situation very bad?"

"Very bad!" Earl Xuanwu said: "The entire Great Yan Dynasty is implementing new policies, and my Yue Kingdom is no exception, the will of the monarch is already very obvious, the replacement of new and old forces will accelerate, and the old nobles will be stripped of their fiefdom and military power." In such a turbulent period, the heir of my Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is so incompetent, I am afraid that he will ruin the foundation of my Jin family for hundreds of years, so what face will I have to see my ancestors after I die?"

Speaking of his son, the Earl gritted his teeth with hatred, it was too useless.

Jin Mulan said: "With my daughter here, my Xuanwu Earl's Mansion will not collapse." ”

She didn't boast in this sentence, now she is indeed the pillar of the entire Earl's Court, and she is the greatest pride of her parents.

But women always have to get married, Jin Mulan is twenty-two years old.

"My daughter will never marry, stay at home to assist her younger brother, and protect my Jin's century-old foundation. Jin Mulan said coldly: "Whoever asks me to marry is going to cut off our Earl's Mansion's way of life, and whoever is our family's mortal enemy!"

The atmosphere between the three of them was very solemn, and the daughter made such a great sacrifice for the family, which made the counts and their hearts sad, and they could not even say words of comfort.

After a while, Count Xuanwu changed the topic and said, "When you came back today, your cavalry hit and injured a person on the streets of Xuanwu City?"

"Hmm. "Golden Mulan Road.

Earl Xuanwu said: "Heal wholeheartedly, and after you are cured, you will send a sum of money home." Especially at this time, our family needs a good reputation. ”

And at this moment, the voice of the earl's attendant sounded outside the door: "Master, Doctor An asks to see you." ”

"Let him in!" said Earl Xuanwu.

A moment later, an elderly man walked in, he was one of the three healers of the Earl's Palace, and after Jin Mulan brought Shen Lang back to the Earl's Palace, it was this An Zaishi who was in charge of treatment.

"The hosts. The old doctor An Zaishi stepped forward and bowed down and said, "The young man who was hit has woken up and is fine. ”

Jin Mulan was stunned, wasn't that young man hit very badly?!

"That's good. Earl Xuanwu said, but there was a slight surprise in his heart, is it necessary to report such a small matter to him, the earl, and let the butler deal with this matter is more than enough.

An Zaishi said: "After that young man woke up, he wanted to ask to see the Earl. ”

"See me?" Earl Xuanwu was stunned, this young man was too ignorant of the sky, and the officials of Xuanwu City did not dare to rashly ask to see him, let alone an ordinary young man.

The healer An Zaishi said: "He said that there is something very important to tell the earl, which is related to the marriage of the young lady. ”

As soon as these words came out, Earl Xuanwu couldn't help but become solemn, his brows furrowed, and he nodded: "If he is not in serious health, let him come to see me." ”

......

Shen Lang's body is indeed fine, but the muscles and bones on his body are injured, and it is slightly difficult to walk, because his face is a little pale after staying up all night.

After coming to Earl Xuanwu's study, he bowed and saluted, "Student Shen Lang, meet Lord Earl." ”

He is a citizen of Xuanwu City, and to some extent he is also a citizen of Earl Xuanwu, so he should kneel and salute, but Shen Lang is from the modern earth, and of course he is not willing to kneel to anyone.

Earl Xuanwu's face was not kind, but he did not pretend to be majestic, his eyes fell on Shen Lang's face, and he was quite stunned by his handsomeness.

What a very beautiful young man, such a look is rare in the countryside!

"Student?" Earl Xuanwu said, "What kind of fame are you?" I know all the civil and martial scholars in Xuanwu City, but I have never heard the name Shen Lang. ”

Shen Lang said: "The student is a student of the Hanshui Town Academy. ”

When he said this, Shen Lang was a little embarrassed in his heart.

The school in Hanshui Town is completely enlightenment education, almost equivalent to the primary school of the modern earth, this kind of education is really a bit embarrassing to say, the key is that he didn't even graduate from the Hanshui Town School, and he was directly kicked out.

Earl Xuanwu frowned and said: "You have fine skin and tender meat, presumably your parents are very pampered and let you concentrate on studying, but at this age, you don't even enter the school in Xuanwu City, it's really in vain to be a son of man, it's not filial!"

Lord Earl did have some disdain for Shen Lang in his heart at this time, his son was already very unproductive without learning and skills, but he was much better than the young man in front of him.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang had a slight affection for this earl in his heart, and he could clearly feel that he regarded everyone in Xuanwu City as his own people, and when he heard that Shen Lang was not studying well, he immediately blamed him on behalf of his parents.

"You've been wounded by my cavalry, are you in serious trouble?" asked the Earl.

Shen Lang said: "The student's body is fine, but there is some pain in the muscles and bones. ”

The Earl said: "You said that there is something important to tell me, which is related to my daughter's marriage, tell me about it." ”

Shen Lang said: "I heard that the Zhu family wants to marry you, and Zhu Hongxue wants to marry Miss Jin Mulan of the Earl's Mansion. ”

It's a secret, and almost no one knows about it yet.

Suddenly, the count's face changed drastically.

The Zhu family, the top magnates of the Yue Kingdom, the in-laws of the monarch, the governor of Tiannan Province and General Pingnan are all from the Zhu family.

Once Jin Mulan marries, who will guard the Earl's Palace, and who will command the Jin family's private army?

This is someone who wants to dig up the roots of the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion and break the pillars of his family.
