Xu Xiaodong returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and the surrounding guards all looked at him with awe, the current Xu Xiaodong is completely different from the front, although he was a Xuan-level martial artist in the past, there were not many Xuan-level martial artists in Rock City, and now under this assassination, Xu Xiaodong proved that his strength can be compared to the late Xuan-level martial artists, which is very different.

"My lord, the city lord is waiting for you in the main hall, please hurry over. A guard respectfully rushed to Xu Xiaodong.

"Wait for me, why is this?" Xu Xiaodong was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that at this time, Luo Yang should guard the city wall and stabilize the army's heart.

"This subordinate doesn't know, the city lord said that you will come over as soon as you come back. ”

This guard didn't know much.

Xu Xiaodong nodded, and when he went to the main hall, he faintly had a bad premonition.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Xu Xiaodong saw an unexpected person, who was Dong Jiao, who he hadn't seen for several days.

This woman was talking to Luo Yang, and when she saw Xu Xiaodong coming over, Dong Jiaoqiao's face was happy, and she was about to say something as soon as her lips moved, but then she remembered something, swallowed the words on her lips, and glanced at Xu Xiaodong, with a cold face.

Xu Xiaodong knew that Dong Jiao was secretly angry with herself, but fortunately, Luo Yang broke the deadlock, hugged his fists and said: "Little brother, thanks to you this time, I thank you for the people of Yancheng." If you hadn't killed so many killers, the situation would have been even more dire. ”

Xu Xiaodong returned the salute, "The city lord is serious, everyone is a part of the Southern Tang Dynasty, these are what I should do." ”

Seeing that Xu Xiaodong was not proud, Luo Yang nodded secretly and sighed: "Alas, if everyone has the patriotic heart of Brother Dong, instead of fighting all day long and eliminating dissidents, why would we be bullied by the grassland barbarians to this point!"

"The city lord is not very optimistic about the prospects of this war?" Xu Xiaodong heard what Luo Yang meant.

Luo Yang paced back and forth in the main hall and nodded solemnly, "That's right, I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid that this time I'm afraid that I'm not able to defend it, the enemy first used the traitor to break the ban on protecting the city, making our defense even more difficult, and now another 500,000 troops are coming, including two prefecture-level masters." ”

Xu Xiaodong's face changed, he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

"Where did this news come from? Why can Ziyun still send more manpower, and what about the Zhendong Army, did they really have an accident? Xu Xiaodong asked several questions one after another.

Luo Yang's eyes showed a look of praise, and he replied: "You asked the key, the Ziyun people can arrange for the traitors to be in our Rock City, and we naturally have people with them." In the past few days, the Ziyun people have been very vigilant, and the person only sent out the information yesterday, and I only knew that the Zhendong Army had been completely wiped out, and the rest of the Ziyun Army was cleaning up the mess in the past few days, and now it has come to an end, and it will come to Yancheng soon, and when they merge, Yancheng will be broken. ”

"Father-in-law, the Zhendong Army is known for its bravery and good fighting, how could it be completely annihilated, why hasn't there been any movement on the imperial side until now?" Dong Jiao suddenly spoke, her pretty face full of puzzlement.

Xu Xiaodong glanced at him unexpectedly, and he didn't know when she recognized Luo Yang as her father-in-law.

Hearing this, Luo Yang's face showed a sad look, and his face was full of anger.

"It is said that there were traitors in the Zhendong Army, and they were attacked inside and outside, and they were destroyed by the Ziyun people. If the king is here, how can the Zhendong army be annihilated, and the treacherous and misleading the country!"

"And the imperial court's delay in sending troops over is probably also hindered by the old thief. Pity the people of Dongyuan County, as soon as the rock city broke through Dongyuan County, it lost its barrier, I don't know how many people will be ruined, how holy Your Majesty was at the beginning, why would he be suspicious of the prince now and trust this thief!"

Luo Yang was full of righteous indignation, and his words were also quite resentful of His Majesty.

After a pause, Luo Yang continued: "Xiaodong, I won't hide it from you, now that Yancheng can't hold it, I have a task for you, I hope you can accept it." ”

"Mission?" Xu Xiaodong flashed and looked at Luo Yang.

"Yes, I was going to give this task to another Xuan-level late-stage martial artist, but your achievements in the past few days have really surprised me, and I think you are more suitable. Luo Yang stroked his beard and said slowly.

"But before telling you about the mission, can you tell me your true identity?" Luo Yang's eyes flashed.

"The City Lord won't suspect that I'm from the Purple Cloud Empire. Xu Xiaodong had a smile on his face.

"Naturally, this will not, if the Ziyun people are willing to lose so many Xuan-level martial artists in order to make us trust, then I will admit it. Luo Yang's face showed a smile on his face.

"Luoyang City Lord, you guys are so inkbloc, little prince, don't hide it, your identity has been discovered by Miss Ben. A familiar voice rang out.

A girl about seventeen years old, wearing a red dress, snowy skin, and big eyes and eyebrows, walked out of the back of the hall.

It was Nalan Xiaoyu, the girl who was slapped on the ass by Xu Xiaodong in the qualifying competition.

The girl's charm is even more impressive, and a smile and a cheek are nostalgic.

"It turned out to be Miss Nalan, I haven't seen her for two years, and the girl has advanced to the Xuan level, congratulations. Xu Xiaodong was not surprised when he saw this woman, this woman appeared here, and Luo Yang must have known his identity.

"Giggle...... There was a young genius from Iwachi, and this girl naturally wanted to investigate, but it turned out to be the little prince, which really surprised me. In just two years, the little prince will be able to compete with the late Xuan-level martial artists, if it weren't for the battle record, I really can't believe it. Nalan Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled, her big eyes full of surprise.

Two years ago, Xu Xiaodong was still a yellow-level martial artist, and after two years, he could match the late Xuan-level stage, what would happen if he was given another two years.

Dong Jiao saw the familiar appearance of the two, and a gloom flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Xu Xiaodong didn't deny it, Luo Yang's heavy face showed a hint of a smile, "Xiaodong, you hide it from me so hard, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and my uncle can't recognize you." ”

Xu Xiaodong touched his nose and said slowly: "I originally didn't want to alarm you, but this Xingchen Sand and Creation Lotus Seed are too important to me, and concealing my identity is also to avoid trouble, I hope Uncle Luo will not be surprised." ”

"You are so cautious, this is a good thing, I am happy for your father, time flies so fast, when I went to the imperial capital more than ten years ago, you were only four or five years old, and now you are already a young genius who is comparable to the late stage of the Xuan level, it seems that I am really old." Luo Yang laughed heartily, remembering the glory days of the Zhendong Army in the past.

After a few people talked for a while, Nalan Xiaoyu and Dong Jiao knew that Xu Xiaodong and the two had something to say and left the main hall.

Seeing the second daughter leave the main hall, Luo Yang's face was solemn, "Xiaodong's next task, please be sure to complete it! Because this is a matter of life and death for our country." ”

"Uncle Luo, please speak. Xu Xiaodong's face also became solemn.

"I want you to bring a copy of the information to Dean Lu Cangtian of the Imperial Capital Academy, only he can influence His Majesty at present, but Dean Lu was in retreat a few years ago, and it is not easy to meet him. And you have to be careful, the vice president of the Imperial Capital Academy also has people from the Wen family, so you can't let them know about the information. Luo Yang took out a piece of black jade.

"Uncle Luo, don't worry, I know how to do it. Xu Xiaodong swept away the jade slip with one hand.

"I'm relieved that you know what to expect, this is about the future of the Empire, please be sure to complete it! Luo Yang patted Xu Xiaodong on the shoulder and said solemnly.
