The king's orders spread among the nobles at a rapid pace, and as he grew older, the nobles became more and more interested in him and who would be the next king.

As a small nobleman who couldn't be smaller, Xu Xi naturally didn't know the king's attention to his bets. At this time he walked down the street, looking for a house for sale.

Living in the princess's mansion is an expedient measure, Xu Xi wants to have a house of his own in this imperial city, he is naturally useful.

However, how difficult it is to get a house in the imperial city, and it didn't take long for night to fall, and there was not enough time to look for it, so Xu Xi returned with a feather.

returned to the princess's mansion, but met the princess Chu Xinying.

Chu Xinying told Xu Xi that the bet between him and Gui Xiang had attracted the attention of the king, and that there should be a large number of nobles watching that day.

Are you famous?

Although he didn't want to be famous, he couldn't help himself, and he could only take one step at a time, Xu Xi simply asked Chu Xinying to help pay attention to the manors and houses in the imperial city or outside the imperial city, hoping to buy a house or manor at a normal price.

Chu Xinying promised to help Xu Xi keep an eye on it.

Say goodbye to Chu Xinying and return to her room.

Li Yidao: "Brother, this matter has attracted the attention of the king, Gui Xiang, who is the son of a general, must not be able to afford to lose, I am afraid that he will do something, we need to be careful in everything, and it is best for my strength to go further." ”

Shaking his head, Xu Xi said: "Beware is right, but there is no way to improve your strength at present, you have reached the limit." With your physical condition, you can't forcibly improve it anymore, otherwise you may explode and die. ”

"I'm willing to take a risk for the sake of victory."

Venture? Although one million is a lot of luck, compared with Li Yiyi, it is not worth mentioning at all. In order to let Li Yi risk his life for one million, he gave up his original and sought the end.

"You can't take any chances, but I think you can try another ability." Xu Xi pointed to the eagle on his shoulder.

"Brother, you mean the ability to control beasts?"

"Yes, you continue to study in the past two days to see if you can make a breakthrough, as long as you can control a large number of beasts, it is also a hole card."

"Yes, brother."

In order to make the competition foolproof, Li Yi returned to his room to concentrate on research.

As night fell, Gui Xiang and his entourage did not stop there, but thought about finding a few more places to see if they could find Tie Ming, and if they really couldn't find it, then rest again.

It is more dangerous to act at night, if it weren't for the fact that this place is not far from the imperial city, and the dangerous beasts or something have already been cleaned up, Gui Xiang and his party really wouldn't dare to do this.

Anxiously, he climbed over a small hill again, and saw a manor, and Gui Xiang and the others immediately stepped forward.

There are too many manors in this vicinity, so they don't know which manor Tie Ming is in, so they have to look for them one by one.

Opening the manor, Zhuang Ding said in surprise: "Master Tie Ming, why are you here?" ”

Hearing this, Guixiang and his entourage were overjoyed and found a place.

Tie Man hurriedly asked, "Tie Ming is my twin brother, but you are staying here?" ”

"It turned out to be an iron man, Lord Tie Ming has an explanation, you will come in the next few days, please come in quickly." Zhuang Ding welcomed the group in.

After entering the manor, the group went to visit the owner of the manor. Because it was already night, it was very rude to disturb others, so Gui Xiang suppressed his excitement and decided to visit again the next day, and rested under the arrangement of the lord of the manor.

At this time, on a building in the backyard of the manor, a strong man like an iron tower and an old man stood against the railing, and the night wind lifted their bearded robes.

"Teacher, don't you hate the world the most, why would you be willing to go to a place of strife like the Imperial City this time."

"I watch the stars at night, I am afraid that there will be great changes in the world, and the imperial city at this time is one of the important nodes, I want to come and see. In addition, you are not small, young people always want to achieve something amazing and great, so this trip is also to fulfill you. ”

"The students are worried about the students, and the students are ashamed."

The old man chuckled a few times and looked in the direction of the imperial city: "The chaotic people you encountered this time are extraordinary, you must not be reckless, you must not kill you, remember." ”

"Yes, students follow the teacher's instructions."

Tie Ming looked at the imperial city, but a deep worry flashed in his eyes.

What kind of person is his teacher, as a disciple of his own only a little understanding, the teacher is a fairy-like figure, looking up to the high, drilling the strong, every disciple is a hero, more importantly, the disciples are old and dead I don't know how many, the teacher is still outstanding in the world.

In this way, people who see the prosperity of the world, taste all the states of life, laugh at the fight in the world, and have little affection and slight nature, but suddenly come out of the mountain, this is too abnormal.

Tie Ming couldn't forget that the night before the teacher went out of the mountain, his expression changed drastically, and he looked in one direction for a full night.

What is it in the world that attracts teachers out of the mountains?

"By the way, I'm an old servant Uncle Yu, not a teacher, from now on I will change my words, and I must not reveal my identity."

"Yes, teacher, no, Uncle Yu."

The old man went downstairs, and Tie Ming looked into the distance, and if he was in front of him, he would have found that he had closed his eyes and was not looking at all, he had his ears pricked up, listening to the sound, listening to the footsteps of the master.

The voice was different, and there was a slight tremor in the legs.

What is it about a teacher who makes such a gaffe?

After a long time, Tie Ming also returned to the room.

The next day, Gui Xiang met Tie Ming under the introduction of Tie Man, and the two sides talked happily, but Gui Xiang never mentioned letting Tie Ming replace his brother Tie Man in the competition. Compared with winning or losing this competition, he paid more attention to Tie Ming's perception of himself.

A million luck can be lost, and Tie Ming's favor cannot be lost.

Gui Xiang didn't mention it, but the iron man did.

Tie Ming was not happy about pretending to be his younger brother, he didn't want to leave a stain on his resume, which was an offense to him. Gui Xiang hurriedly rounded the field, saying that if Tie Ming was willing, he would announce his true identity and let him compete instead of pretending to be his younger brother.

If Tie Ming was unwilling, Gui Xiang would never force it, and invited Tie Ming to visit the imperial city, and promised to introduce Tie Ming to the king and seek the status of a great nobleman for him.

Tie Ming agreed to the contest and immediately set off for the Imperial City.

Because Uncle Yu is old, this trip is not suitable for horseback riding, but instead takes a carriage, and the return journey will take longer.

Tie Ming and the others set off, and Xu Xi continued to tinker with his own twists and turns, but because the news of his competition with Gui Xiang had spread, and these officials had also heard the news, they directly refused Xu Xi's bribery.

If Xu Xi wins this battle, this process will not require Xu Xi to bribe at all.

With nothing to do, and the house and manor had no good ideas, Xu Xi went to the slave market.
