It is not strange that there is a person in the family who is as arrogant and cunning as Lin Changqing, but if you want the family to prosper and pass on for several generations, it is absolutely not enough to have such a person, you must have a few people with leadership temperament, quick thinking, and convincing people with virtue.

Several major families in the Southern Jin Dynasty can be inherited for so many years, naturally they pay great attention to the education of future generations, as well as the maintenance of family style.

In many cases, it is also because there is one or even more excellent "successor candidates", and the other children will not be able to focus on training, and they will simply give up treatment and enjoy the simple and boring life of the innocent "rich second generation official second generation", and the family elders are too lazy to discipline.

These young generation of family children, some of whom are dazzling, have already shown a good demeanor, which can be described as a head.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Huo Yu, the second son of the Huo family, who is nineteen years old, but he is already famous. The Lin family pays attention to business, and most of the children of the family have to go to the trading house to experience it after the age of sixteen. As the Huo family, which occupies the most officialdom seats, its children go to the local government with the family elders to experience.

Of course, even if the Huo family's officialdom is energetic, it doesn't mean that they can be private officials casually, these young children just accompany the family elders in the form of followers, bring tea and water every day, and then learn the ways of officialdom.

And Huo Yu worked as a follower for the Huo family for nearly a year in a city in the east of the Southern Jin Dynasty two years ago, who would have thought that even if it was just a follower without any authority, it would make him famous. not only assisted the cousin to solve a lot of big and small cases, but even put forward a plan to reform political affairs, the rigid and meticulous cousin was full of praise for Huo Yu, and the big and small officials in the city naturally praised endlessly with seven points of sincerity and three points of flattery, and even the people remembered this young man.

At the suggestion of the cousin, the head of the family transferred him back to Jianye City, and then followed his father to handle official business, driving back and forth, not only other families were praised, even the emperor had praised him, this son will be an optimus prime of the Southern Jin Dynasty in the future.

At this time, this proud son was sitting by the window on the third floor of a restaurant on the west side of the palace, looking out the window at the palace, drinking a cup of tea.

The two powerful Huo family guards stood behind him, and the person sitting opposite him was none other than Ishida Zuojing.

"The palace is heavily guarded, and the Imperial Dragon Army is powerful and extremely alert, not to mention that there is Xie Qi, who is a Xuanji cultivator, staring at the wind and grass in the palace, so why did Leqi escape?" Huo Yu muttered, as if puzzled.

Ishida Zuojing chuckled lightly and said, "I think Huo Gongzi knows this better than me." ”

Huo Yu turned his head, looked at Ishida Zuojing, and said flatly: "What does Skywalker mean by this?" ”

Ishida Zuojing first clasped his fists and saluted, and then said slowly: "I, the Skywalker, follow the guidance of Heaven's will, although I can't understand the details of today's events, but I also know more than outsiders. ”

Huo Yu's expression didn't change, he just looked at Ishida Zuojing's eyes, his eyes were not offensive, not aggressive, just a normal look, and after a while, Huo Yu said, "How much do you know?" ”

"I just know which mansion Na Leqi fled into." Ishida Zuojing picked up the teacup and took a sip, even though he clearly saw that the two entourages behind Huo Yu were already glaring angrily,

It's also unfazed.

Huo Yu raised his hand to signal the two behind him to be calm, he personally picked up the teapot and added tea to Ishida Zuojing, and said at the same time: "In this case, what do you mean by taking the initiative to find me?" ”

"I want to see your attitude, Childe." Ishida Zuojing said in a gentle tone: "Naturally, it also depends on the attitude of the Huo family. ”

"I can't represent the Huo family."

"You can, because you are the future of the Huo family and the inheritor of the Huo family, if you want to see the attitude of the Huo family in this matter, no one can represent the Huo family better than you."

Huo Yu pondered for a moment, and then his eyes showed a hint of sharpness, and said, "What if my heart is to the Divine Court?" ”

Ishida Zuojing was not panicked, and his tone was as usual: "Since the Huo family has chosen to hide this matter from the Divine Court, if your heart is to the Divine Court, it is impossible to be released at this juncture." ”

Huo Yu smiled and said, "It's worthy of being a Skywalker." ”

Although Huo Yu was only nineteen years old, he was already well-versed in the world, had a smart mind, and could understand the meaning of Ishida Zuojing's words.

What is the attitude of the Huo family?

Privately hiding the key criminals pursued by the Divine Court, this is against the Divine Court, and is there a certain person in the Huo family who still resists the private affairs of the Divine Court, or is it the same in the Huo family? As Huo Yu, who is responsible for the future of the Huo family, being able to take people out to explore the situation in the city at this time is enough to show that the entire Huo family is on the side of the traitors and wants to oppose the Divine Court!

Ishida Zuojing had already guessed this, so he found Huo Yu, who happened to come out to patrol the city, and wanted to confirm this matter in person.

It's easy to say, but once his guess is wrong, he may have to worry about his life, and even if he guesses correctly, he may be suspicious of Huo Yu and kill him with the idea that he would rather kill by mistake than let go.

And Huo Yu opened his mouth and said: "Okay, since that's the case, you can follow me for the time being, what kind of strength do you have now?" ”

Ishida replied, "The heavens have changed to the upper realm. ”

"The speed at which you Skywalkers progress is really intimidating." Huo Yu sighed, then stood up and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back first." ”

"Okay." Ishida Zuojing also stood up and walked out with Huo Yu.

Ishida Zuojing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to trust me?" ”

"It's not fully trusting yet." Huo Yu didn't look back, stepped downstairs, and said without concealment: "But a Skywalker who has changed into the upper realm, the Huo family can still tolerate it, go back and let my father make a decision." If you are sincere in cooperating with my Huo family, you should have no opinion on this, right? ”

"No problem." Ishida Sajing replied, and he glanced at a middle-aged woman guarding the staircase, who was plain-looking, smiling, and like a nanny-like character.

But Ishida Zuojing clearly felt that this person's strength was far above his own, and he must be Xuanji.

It seems that the Huo family really values this second son.

And looking at the current situation, the Huo family should have secretly recalled many Xuanji masters.

......

"Skywalker?" Emperor Bai Haochuan was wearing a golden dragon robe at this time, wearing a tassel crown on his head, sitting on the dragon chair, squinting slightly at the people in the hall.

In the face of the people of the Divine Court, he can not wear a crown, but others do not have such treatment, and the emperor still has to have the majesty.

One person half-knelt on the ground, wearing dark cyan armor, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Yang Xiao, and it is no different from the official confirming that he is a Skywalker." And he doesn't cultivate

Vulgar, there is the strength of the middle realm of the sky, and he once helped me arrest the rebels. ”

"Oh? The last time you said you had Skywalker to help, it was him. The emperor glanced at Yang Xiao and said with interest: "Skywalker's whereabouts are uncertain, he travels all over the world, and he actually meets you again, this is also destined by heaven?" ”

Yang Xiao did not kneel down at this time, but just lowered his head to show respect. Feeling the emperor looking at him, Yang Xiao hugged his fists and said, "I came to follow the will of heaven and come to help Your Majesty." ”

"Can you help me?" The Emperor smiled and said, "I heard that where Skywalker appeared, there is a great war coming, who do you want to help me deal with?" Or..."The smile on the emperor's face retracted into the gap between the tassels, and turned into a solemn expression: "Who wants to be my enemy?" ”

Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, combined with the news he heard from some city guards not long ago, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty has caught Le Qi, the leader of the renegade who the Divine Court has been unable to pursue, and intends to sacrifice it to the Divine Court, but this person has fled into the mansion of a certain family..."

"It is not yet confirmed that he has entered the family mansion." Commander Lei on the side interrupted.

The emperor leaned back slightly, his head lowered a little, as if he was carefully looking at Yang Xiao, and the tassels drooped, covering most of his face. I only heard him speak: "I've always wanted to hear about Skywalker, and today I finally have the opportunity, so you can continue." Commander Thunder and the others withdrew for the time being and waited at the door. ”

"Yes." Lei Yunzhang, the deputy commander of the city guard, led the order to retreat.

Only the emperor, Yang Xiao and the prince Bai Haoyue were left in the palace.

At this time, Bai Haochuan's words became a little more serious, and he asked, "What do you know?" ”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is a providence in the dark, and that Leqi is indeed hidden in the mansion of a certain family. ”

"I don't know which one it is?" The emperor asked.

"I'm not sure." When Yang Xiao watched the battlefield preview, he didn't remember which family's steward the person with blood on his sleeve was, and he continued according to his own speculation: "There is no doubt that a certain family is secretly hiding fugitives, which is an enemy of the Divine Court, and may even be trying to provoke the relationship between you and the Divine Court. ”

The Emperor said softly, "Oh? Is that so? ”

Bai Haoyue cautiously asked at this time, "What about the other than that?" As far as I know, Skywalker must have a mission to accomplish when he comes to earth, and what is the purpose of your incarnation this time? ”

Yang Xiao was speechless for a while, because so far, the main quest has really not come down.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to say: "At this time, there is no clear purpose to be issued, and some changes may have to be made." ”

Bai Haoyue's voice was a little indifferent, and his eyes were fierce and asked, "But if the mission of Heaven is guiding you, isn't it to help Your Majesty?" ”

Yang Xiao naturally understood the seriousness of this question, didn't dare to think about it for too long, and said: "Although there is no clear task, since the will of heaven has guided me to come here, it must be closely related to Your Majesty." Whether the opponent is the Divine Court or the family, I am willing to help. ”

Yang Xiao said this cleverly, and seemed to have a resolute attitude, but after thinking about it carefully, he actually did not answer Bai Haoyue's question.

Without waiting for Bai Haoyue to think about it, Yang Xiao simply knelt on one knee like Commander Lei, and said respectfully and resolutely: "Your Majesty is the lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and naturally has the mandate of heaven, and I am here to help Your Majesty remove obstacles." ”

"Sweeping the obstacles?" When the emperor heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he muttered, "If it is really the will of heaven, then it would be better." ”
