As soon as he stepped out of the secret room, Yao Ruoyu saw an attendant standing at the door, and when he saw him coming out, the attendant hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, someone from the Iron Fort came to pay a visit, and Speaker Wu also came, and brought someone with him." ”

"Oh?" raised his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu smiled foolishly, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, they actually arrived together, and they happened to receive together, where are they now?"

"They're in the antechamber right now. The squire replied.

"Got it. Nodding, Yao Ruoyu hurried to the front hall.

Half a month ago, it seems that seeing the rapid development of Wenbang, Fu Chaozan and Ren Jiasheng's master Zhao Luyan finally wrote to his two disciples to inquire about Wenbang's situation.

Two days ago, Wu Xue told Yao Ruoyu that she wanted to invite her teacher to Wenbang.

Yao Ruoyu had already known about Wu Xue's teacher, who was a Five Realms Fire Spirit Master named Han Zhaoji, who lived in seclusion near Wulong all year round.

As early as when Wenbang was first built, Yao Ruoyu had already moved the idea of inviting this person to come to the town, but unfortunately later heard Yang Renjie talk about this person's pungent and obedient nature, and he killed people if he didn't agree with him, and after checking with Wu Xue, he dispelled this idea.

It's just that now Yao Ruoyu is already the consummation of the Four Realms, and there is Bai Junru, the Great Confucian of the Five Realms, and the city-state has also hired two Five Realms as guest secretaries, plus the two Five Realms sent by the Chu family, and Duan Zun, Duan Chong and others in the Dali Relics, naturally they are not afraid of what this Han Zhaoji will give birth to, so they also agreed.

It's just that I didn't expect that one was half a month ago, and the other was two days ago, but they actually collided together and came to King Wen's Mansion at the same time.

Before entering the front hall, Yao Ruoyu saw several people sitting on the seats on both sides, Wu Xue and a middle-aged woman on the left, and Fu Chaozan and a burly rough man on the right.

Seeing him coming, Wu Xue hurriedly stood up, and was about to speak, Fu Chaozan had already gotten up and hugged his fists: "Brother Demon." ”

"Well," Yao Ruoyu nodded at him, then looked at the man and the woman, clenched his fists and smiled, "I'm sorry, I was in retreat earlier, I just learned that you were here, and please atone for your sins." ”

"The prince is polite, the villain Zhao Tietong, who was ordered by the lord of the castle to come to Wenbang to build a branch, and I hope to take care of him in the future. ”

The rugged man hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists and laughed repeatedly, but the woman was not as polite as him, but glanced at her coldly, and said lightly: "King Wen, the strength is okay, but the shelf is not small, don't you think that with your status as the vassal king, Han doesn't dare to say anything?"

Hearing this, Wu Xue hurriedly grabbed the woman's arm, and said in a soft and coquettish voice: "Master!"

Seeing Wu Xue so cute, Yao Ruoyu and Fu Chaozan couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs, but the woman seemed to be extremely aware, and her original indifference suddenly dissipated, and she smiled: "Okay, Xue'er, I won't embarrass him." ”

Shaking his head, Yao Ruo smiled foolishly: "Since the two of you have arrived together, why don't you talk about things here together, Mr. Zhao, I don't know how many people have come to the Iron Fort this time?"

Zhao Tietong replied when he heard this: "This time I came to Wenbang, the castle lord meant to set up a branch in Yitong City first, so there were not many people with me, in addition to me, there were two fourth-level blacksmiths, we each brought four or five disciples, and there were less than twenty people, and the clerks of the shop were directly recruited locally." ”

"Oh, that's right," halfway through the words, Zhao Tietong suddenly picked up a long cloth bag from the table next to him, handed it to Fu Chaozan, and said with a smile, "I heard that the prince has a sword Zhanhu from the former king of Wuyue, this sword is a martial arts divine weapon, but the prince has a double cultivation of spirit and martial arts, and it is a bit of a waste to use this sword for spiritual law, so the castle lord specially cast this sword, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for our Iron Furnace Castle." “

After Fu Chaozan took the sword, he stepped forward and handed it to Yao Ruoyu, who took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "The lord of your castle is polite, please thank him on my behalf." As he spoke, he unwrapped his cloth bag, revealing a four-foot-long sword.

Holding the sword in his hand, Yao Ruoyu held the hilt of the sword with his five fingers, and felt wisps of cold air rush into his palm, and he raised his eyebrows, and then pulled the sword out of the sheath, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The hilt of this long sword is slender, the threads of the circle extend from the gauntlet to the bottom of the spike, and the blade is slightly transparent, like ice rather than gold and iron, only the central spine is made of metal.

Then Yao Ruoyu found that the spiritual energy around him had actually changed slightly, and he poured into the sword body like nothing, and he smiled unconsciously, and exclaimed: "Good sword!"

Zhao Tietong smiled proudly, hugged his fists and said: "The sword blade is refined with a thousand-year-old ice species in the northern frontier, and the sword spine is the spine of a five-realm ice demon sparrow, and at the same time, our castle lord has specially engraved a spirit array on it, in addition to enhancing the ice spirit method, it is also absorbing ice spirit energy to repair the sword blade." ”

Nodding again and again, Yao Ruoyu couldn't put it down and played with this sword back and forth a few times, and asked, "Does this sword have a name?"

"I haven't chosen a name yet, if the prince is willing, he can give this sword a name himself. Zhao Tietong replied.

Yao Ruoyu groaned slightly, waved his sword, and then said with a smile: "Since the sword has a shadow, and it is made of thousand-year-old ice species and ice sparrow spine, it is named after the cold mark." ”

After dripping a drop of essence blood into the sword blade and establishing a connection with the Cold Scar Sword, Yao Ruoyu put the sword back into its sheath and said with a smile: "I have already ordered someone to vacate a bunk in the city, the location is absolutely top-notch, and the flow of people is continuous every day. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang. Zhao Tietong also knew that Yao Ruoyu would talk to the woman next to him later, and after thanking him, he said goodbye and left.

After they left, Yao Ruoyu looked at the woman and said with a smile: "Senior Han, I was slacking off before, please apologize." ”

"It's okay, for Xue'er's sake, I won't be surprised by you. Waving her hand, Han Zhaoji said very arrogantly.

Seeing her unruly posture, several guards outside the hall door couldn't help but show anger, but Yao Ruoyu was silent, and said with a smile: "Senior Han is a general of the Five Realms, and his strength is high, this time he came to Wenbang, I don't know if I would like to be the guest secretary of my Wenwang Mansion?"

"I don't want to!" Han Zhaoji raised her eyelids and said slowly, "Originally, because it was Xiao Xue'er's invitation, I came here without embarrassment, but I was just hung by you for a long time, and now you beg me, otherwise Han Mou would not want to be a guest of your palace." ”

Yao Ruoyu smiled when he heard this, and said with a very open-minded smile: "It is indeed rude for this king to snub his predecessors before, and it is okay, since the predecessors are unwilling, then the king is not reluctant, but I am an outstanding person in Wenbang, and the scenery is beautiful, since the predecessor is here, let Wu Xue accompany you to walk around." ”

Han Zhaoji couldn't help but be stunned, she hadn't had any close people for many years, but she regarded Wu Xue as her own daughter, plus she had lived in seclusion in the mountain village for many years, and she was indeed tired of the coldness, so she agreed to come to Wenbang.

It's just that she has a perverse temperament, and she was snubbed by Yao Ruoyu before, so she was embarrassed just now, just thinking that Yao Ruoyu would give her a step, so she agreed to come down. But I didn't expect Yao Ruoyu to not seem to hear what he meant, and actually agreed to follow his words.

The plan didn't come to fruition, Han Zhaoji got up angrily in annoyance, and snorted angrily: "That's it, Xue'er, go." With that, she walked out of the hall without looking back.

Wu Xue was in a hurry, glared at Yao Ruoyu angrily, and then hurriedly chased out.

"You guy is also bad, that old lady will definitely agree to be a guest secretary as long as you take a step, why do you have to pretend not to understand and make her angry?"

As soon as the two left, there was a sigh from the back door of the front hall, and then Zou Buyi paced out from behind the door and looked over with a smile.

Pouting, Yao Ruoyu said disdainfully: "If it was two years ago, I would have been willing to ask me to kneel down and beg her, but now, our Wenbang already has at least six Five Realms, two Six Realms, one more than her, no less than her, a lot less, playing prestige with me? ”

"Then do you think she'll stay?" asked Zou Buyi, shrugging noncommittally.

Yao Ruoyu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, but I will definitely not stay in my Wenwang Mansion, but in Wu Xue's house, she is an apprentice of Wu Xue, and most of the people are sad and sentimental in their old age, and they must want to have someone next to the apprentice to talk to." ”

"Don't talk about this," waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu said curiously, "You guy suddenly ran over, what's the matter, right?"

Zou Buyi smiled and replied: "Well, I heard a news a few days ago that Xu Jingmiao seemed to want to imitate the Mobile College and build a mountain city academy, but before it started, it was terminated due to the obstruction of various forces. ”

Yao Ruoyu laughed, shook his head and said: "Since he can see the benefits of the academy, of course others can also see it, I have the opportunity, so I can avoid the obstruction of others, but now, how can others tolerate Xu Jingmiao to hold the future generation of Chongqing in their hands, unless they divide the ownership of the academy, otherwise this academy will not want to open." ”

"You can see it thoroughly," Zou Buyi smiled, "This is what I heard before, now I just mention it casually, let's go, go to the council hall, there is something serious." ”

Yao Ruoyu has been in retreat for the past year and a half, and rarely participates in the court because he has replaced the foundation of martial arts, but fortunately, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai and others are in charge, and he is not afraid of chaos.

However, since Zou Buyi was asked to make a special trip now, Yao Ruoyu knew that most of it was not a trivial matter, and immediately walked out of the front hall with Zou Buyi, but halfway through, he still asked what was going on.

Zou Buyi deliberately sold a pass on this, but said that after going to the council hall, he would naturally be able to know, and for this, he also suffered several blank eyes from Yao Ruoyu.

According to the day, today is a small court meeting, and only the five ministers and the chief and deputy battalion generals participated, and personnel from special departments such as Zhao Wen of the Senate Office.

When Yao Ruoyu came to the meeting hall, there was an endless debate in the hall, and when they saw him and Zou Buyi coming, everyone hurriedly quieted.

Came to the first seat and sat down, Yao Ruoyu glanced down, Wenwu sat on both sides, Xu Xuanrong, Bai Junru, Song Kai, Bai Qiuyu, Duan Chun five ministers, Duan Li, Luo He, Wang Li, Chu Hai four main and deputy city lords and vice chairman of the Senate Zhao Wen sat on the left side, on the right side, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Jiang Siyu, Li Yilin, Ren Jiasheng five battalion generals stood in the front, Xiang Beibei, He Junchao, Han Yiqi and other six deputy battalion generals stood in the back.

After thinking for a while, Yao Ruoyu asked, "What is the matter with me?"

Yang Renjie hugged his fists and said: "Old demon, the spies in the dark department in the Jin Kingdom came with news yesterday, Guang'an and Suining have been fighting fiercely recently, I don't know if the matter of our disguised bandits training in the past has been exposed." ”

Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "In a year and a half, if you haven't found a problem, then Wan Yan Yan and Wan Yan Xiao can die." ”

"That being said, it still needs to be prevented early. Fu Feng said solemnly.

Nodding slightly, Yao Ruoyu looked at Luo He, Chu Hai, and Duan Li, and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, take more precautions, and increase the number of secret posts within ten miles west of your three cities, and if there is any change, immediately notify you with wolf smoke." ”

Then looking at Yang Renjie and the others, Yao Ruoyu said: "The literary army is also always ready, once the Jin State invades the border, it will immediately set off to aid the three cities." ”

After everyone hugged their fists and agreed, Yao Ruoyu groaned again: "There are two major five realms of the Chu family in the town, there is the Dali family in Sanjiang, and the defensive strength here in Hezhou City is slightly weaker, so let's wait for Mr. Hu and Mr. Chen to go to Hezhou City first." ”

In the past year and a half, in addition to the military and economy, Wenbang has also made great efforts in the search for talents, not only inviting some young and handsome people to Wenbang for development, but also hiring two generals from the Five Realms to serve as guest secretaries of Wenwangfu.

One person's name is Hu Bilan, a Confucian master in the five realms, and one person's name is Chen Tingchao, and the five realms are twofold, both of them are spiritual masters, although their cultivation is not high in the five realms, but they are proficient in the spirit array, with them, even if Hezhou City has ten times the enemy coming, it can support at least three days.
