Xu Xi only had more than a hundred cavalry under his own control, which was much worse than his own five hundred cavalry.

However, when he saw Li Yi beside Xu Xi, Wu Feng calmed down, this guy is too powerful. If I can't take him down at the first time, when the soldiers in the city come to support, I'm afraid that I will be unlucky to return.

"I don't have any opinion, but Liu Cheng is the little prince's person, I'm afraid you need to explain this matter to the little prince."

"This explanation is for you, the city lord of Lao Shao."

Although he was reluctant, Wu Feng still agreed, anyway, he only promised to explain the matter, which does not mean that the little prince will definitely accept it, and he can't control what will happen in the future.

The group headed to Pure Bridge City.

When they arrived at Pure Bridge City, the west gate of Pure Bridge City had blocked the road, and Lu Yiming was waiting for them at the gate with two hundred shadow guards.

After the two sides greeted each other and introduced each other, the group entered Chunqiao City.

Along the way, Wu Feng and the others quietly observed Lu Yiming, who was also young, and in their cognition, Lu Yiming's youth was a little too much.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the Shadow God Guards all withdrew, giving up the City Lord's Mansion to Wu Feng's soldiers.

When everyone entered the City Lord's Mansion to chat, the Shadow God Guard also gave out the four city gates, granaries, arsenals, treasury and other important places.

After taking over these places one by one, Wu Feng, who was in a slightly better mood, did not have the slightest sense of security, because the Shadow God Guard was too powerful, and such a powerful team in his own territory was an unstable factor after all.

"I wonder when our Shadow God Sect will have the honor of preaching in Dongtu City?"

"No, no, no, my Dongtu Village is just a small village, not suitable for spreading the teachings of the Shadow God, maybe Baili City is a good choice." Xu Xi refused.

Wu Feng had an idea, and said: "Dongtu Village is no longer a village, but a city, and I am about to submit a letter to the king, asking the king to allow your Xu family to be independent of my Wu family and become a nobleman serving the king." Now that the population of Dongtu City is almost 100,000, I think it is very suitable for the Shadow God to spread the teachings. ”

Shaking his head again and again, Xu Xi said that he didn't agree with anything.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Xu Xi, Wu Feng no longer insisted on it, but after lunch, he handed Xu Xi the fold he had written, Xu Xi had read all the content of the fold, and even Xu Xi revised a few places, Wu Feng agreed to it very well.

Xu Xi left with the fold, it is not easy to become an independent nobleman, not only does it need the consent of the nobles who served before, but it also needs to be submitted to the king for approval, and the king agrees to pass. And damn it, adding a nobleman needs to go through the court, which is a very troublesome thing.

If you want to succeed in becoming an independent nobleman, you naturally need to operate this matter by yourself, and it cannot be solved by a single setback.

Xu Xi wanted to leave with the twist, Wu Feng stopped him, and asked Xu Xi to take Chu Xinying back to the imperial city, he did not say Chu Xinying's identity, but he still hinted at Xu Xi, Chu Xinying is the daughter of a big nobleman, and this trip is out to play.

Xu Xi did not refuse, he really needed the nobles to speak for him this time.

Returning to Dongtu Village, Xu Xi arranged the matters after he left, and set off for the imperial capital with Li Yi and a hundred shadow gods in different costumes.

It was a long way to go to the imperial capital, so Xu Xi was not in a hurry, and hurried slowly, relying on the title of himself and Li Yi's legendary people, brushing up on the favor of some manor owners, landlords, and slave owners.

Chu Xinying was very quiet all the way, and everything was arranged by Xu Xi.

It took eight days, and Xu Xi and the others finally arrived in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has a population of 3 million, in ancient times, this is an unimaginably huge city, every day the emperor needs to consume a huge amount of food, luxury, caravans to transport goods to the imperial capital.

Close to the imperial capital, see the majestic city wall up to more than ten meters high, the magnificent city, standing at the city gate, you can feel its power more than the modern city.

Under the banner of nobility, Xu Xi, who only led a hundred cavalry, spent a thousand luck and entered the imperial city relatively smoothly through the noble passage.

Chu Xinying's mansion was in the east of the city, so Xu Xi sent her home and was a guest at her house at her invitation.

The price of goods in this imperial capital is too high, and it is a huge expense for a hundred cavalry to eat, drink, and sleep, Xu Xi really didn't want to spend this money, so he agreed to Chu Xinying.

When he arrived at Chu Xinying's mansion, Xu Xi learned that Chu Xinying turned out to be the king's little princess.

Xu Xi intended to leave, but it was difficult to refuse, and after all, he stayed temporarily in the little princess's mansion.

Although Xu Xi is just a nobleman who is not in the stream, he is a distinguished guest invited by the princess, so the servants of the princess's mansion dare not snub him.

She had just settled in the princess's mansion, and someone came to visit Chu Xinying the next day.

It was none other than Gui Xiang, the son of the general Gui Jinbo, who visited Chu Xinying.

Gui Xiang and Chu Xinying are childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, they have been interested in Chu Xinying since childhood, and they are also the most optimistic pair of nobles in the country, but I don't know why, now that the princess is sixteen, the king still has not married the two, but in the cognition of the nobles, these two will inevitably get married.

Gui Xiang is a man who is 1.8 meters tall and muscular, but he is dressed as a Confucian scholar, and the general hopes that he can be literate and martial, and his talent is indeed good, both civil and military. In terms of appearance, he has big ears, heroic and extraordinary, and at the same time has a hint of Confucianism, rough and elegant are mixed with each other, which has a unique charm.

Seeing Xu Xi, the smile on Gui Xiang's face froze, the reason why he hurried to see Chu Xinying was because he missed it, and because he heard that Chu Xinying had brought back a little nobleman. This made him feel uneasy, and he was even more jealous.

Although he was unhappy, Gui Xiang concealed it well: "I don't know what this brother is called?" ”

"Xu Xi, the head of the Xu family in Xiadongtu Village."

The smile on his face that was better than crying and couldn't see where to go disappeared, a little nobleman who was not worth mentioning at all, barely a nobleman, and a little nobleman who was nothing to the aristocracy.

"You must have extraordinary skills, why don't we have a fight." Gui Xiang stared at Xu Xi with fierce eyes.

Xu Xi shook his head: "We are all aristocrats, and it is too ugly to fight, if Your Excellency is willing, let the subordinates have a discussion." ”

Hearing this, Gui Xiang smiled, and he was also covered with his head, but fortunately Xu Xi did not agree, otherwise he would be humiliated by his identity. It is better to let his subordinates fight, Gui Xiang looked at his entourage.
