in the gazebo.

Facing Zhuge Yuanba's narration, Xiao Rui replied with an embarrassed smile.

"Zhuge girl has great ambitions, she shouldn't be bound by skins, and the champion should understand that depression is something more painful than illness and suffering." Xiao Rui organized the language and said solemnly.

Zhuge Yuanba was stunned and sighed: "Yes, depression is indeed the most painful. But after all, the eldest brother only has this one daughter, and some things must be honed in order to contribute to her growth. ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he immediately asked: "Champion Hou doesn't object to Zhuge girl forming a female soldier?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba smiled: "Let them solve the matter of their father and daughter." King Xian, please also use tea. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, took a sip of tea, and it was really fragrant.

"Where is the sir?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

Zhuge Yuanba looked leisurely and said: "Xianyun Wild Crane, wandering the rivers and lakes, if you don't happen to return to the capital, you won't be dragged by the eldest brother to take care of Liuying." ”

Xiao Rui regretted: "Mr. is a talented person at first glance, and it is too condescending to be an idle cloud and wild crane." ”

Zhuge Yuanba didn't seem to want to talk about this, and asked rhetorically: "Why did King Xian come to find Liuying?" ”

Xiao Rui didn't hide it, he said that he wanted to hone his sword skills, and asked Zhuge Liuying to give advice.

Who knows, Zhuge Yuanba said with a mysterious face: "Your Highness, I know a place that is suitable for sword practice." ”

"Where?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

"Northwest Battalion, Iron Dragoon!" Zhuge Yuanba said with a smile.

Xiao Rui frowned suddenly, he naturally knew that the Northwest Battalion was guarding the land of the Jingshi, and the patrol battalion in the capital was one outside and one inside, protecting the safety of the land of Jinggi.

But the Iron Dragoon, although he had heard of it, knew very little. Because this iron horse is too mysterious, it rarely sends troops, and none of the enemies who have seen this iron horse have survived, all in all, what has been heard is greater than what has been seen.

Zhuge Yuanba seemed to see Xiao Rui's doubts, so he explained: "The Iron Dragon Cavalry is the elite of the elite in the Northwest Battalion, and it is a heavy armored cavalry specially formed by the Northwest Battalion when Emperor Xia was not yet the emperor. There are only 1,000 people, but each of them is a second-rank or higher martial artist. They pursued iron-blooded tactics, and after the battle, there was no grass, and no old and weak women and children were left, and their methods were cold and cruel. ”

Xiao Rui wondered, "What does this mysterious iron knight have to do with my sword practice?" ”

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "Your Highness's sword technique lacks the tempering between life and death, and the Iron Dragon Riding has a training called Death Battle!" It was to transport the soldiers of the enemy country from the border pass to train new soldiers. If you win, you will continue to live, and if you die, you will die. Looking around the capital, there are no bandits who can let His Highness practice swords, so he can't be an executioner. And the Iron Dragoon Death Battle is a good choice. However, it depends on whether His Highness can be ruthless and disregard the determination of life and death. ”

Xiao Rui said: "The most difficult thing is not whether I can be ruthless, but how I can enter the Northwest Camp, and how can the Iron Dragoon agree to let me participate in the death battle!" That's not possible. ”

"I can help Your Highness." Zhuge Yuanba suddenly laughed.

"Uh..."Xiao Rui was stunned.

"It depends on whether His Highness dare?" Zhuge Yuanba's smile was strange.

Xiao Rui was even more puzzled: "Why does Mr. want to help me?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba showed a look of remembrance and muttered, "It's a return for gratitude." ”

Xiao Rui: ??

He wondered even more, did he have any intersection with the Yuanba in front of him? Why did you repay the favor again?

"We don't seem to know each other." Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "But I know your mother." ”

Xiao Rui was instantly moved, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know my mother?" What kind of person is she? Are you familiar with her? ”

Who knows, Zhuge Yuanba shook his head and said, "Don't say, don't say, what kind of person is your mother, let Emperor Xia tell you." ”

Xiao Rui was even more puzzled, what was the origin of his mother? He has specifically investigated, and those who know only know everything superficial, and it is not the point at all.

"How's it being considered? If you fight to the death, you will most likely die, because you will face ten enemy soldiers who are fighting to the death for their lives. Zhuge Yuanba asked again.

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is afraid of whom, senior, when will you play?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba laughed: "Okay, good!" Sure enough, like your mother's temperament. I'll arrange it, five days at the slowest and three days at the earliest. I will go to His Highness. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, turned his head to look at the room, and asked, "Before leaving, can I go and meet Miss Zhuge ?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba refused: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you become a second-grade martial artist." ”

Xiao Rui had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

On the way home, Xiao Rui became more and more curious about his mother and grandfather, who he had never met, what their identities were, and why the information he could investigate was extremely limited?

"Ding-dong... A new quest opens. ”

I never thought that the system that had been silent for many days suddenly issued a task.

Xiao Rui hurriedly closed his eyes and observed, only to see:

"New Quest 1: Find out the mystery of the mother's identity, this is a long-term quest, the quest is completed, and a direct reward will come. Mission failure without any penalty. ”

"New task 2: Find out the true identity of my grandfather and others, this is a long-term task, the task is completed, the reward is 80, the mission fails, there is no punishment."

"New task 3: Invite one of your grandfather or uncle or aunt to come to Beijing, this is a long-term task, the task is completed, the reward is 70, the mission fails, there is no task punishment."

I'll go!

Xiao Rui was a little confused, he usually didn't move, but this time there were three new tasks, and they were still long-term tasks! Looking at the rich rewards, this is forcing Xiao Rui to check to the end.

However, what could be found was of no value, so he asked Xiao Yan to help and ask if an old-timer like Yasukuni knew his grandfather, and even now, Xiao Rui didn't even dare to confirm his grandfather's surname.

Because he only knew that his deceased mother was named Concubine Rong, and Fang's name was Ye Qianlan, and it was likely to be a pseudonym.

If even an old-timer like Yasukuni doesn't know, then who else in the capital knows except Emperor Xia?

Wait, there's one more person!

The Night King Xiao Heding!

The last time I saw him, he said that Xiao Rui's mother was the cousin of Xiao Heding's wife, so he was naturally familiar with his mother's identity!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui immediately asked Wu Zhanfa to go out of the city and go to the Lotus Temple.

However, when he arrived at the Lotus Temple, he found that there was only the old abbot in the temple, and Xiao Heding was nowhere to be seen. After asking the abbot, I learned that the monk Yuanzhen left here and traveled all over the world. And said that where you go, where you die, you are where you die.

Well, the direction that I managed to find with great difficulty is broken again.

Is there only one way, and that is to ask Emperor Xia?

Xiao Rui was a little stunned.
