Seeing a trace of surprise on Xiao Chen's face, Quan unhurriedly returned to his expressionless, calm and calm expression, "I think now, you should have a preliminary recognition of my ability." ”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and had to admit that although Quan said very little, it seemed to make a lot of sense. It's just that the expression on his face just now is not at all similar to his performance at the moment, it is just that he has been asleep for too long and his consciousness is a little confused.

Now it was clear to him that Izumi was not so much his third doppelganger as he was a guy of mysterious origin who was still entangled with his fate.

"Time will tell, and you will be able to verify it later. Izumi said lightly.

"Good. ”

"So can we get out of here now? It's very quiet and the view is nice, but I'd rather see the outside world. ”

This sentence is very inconsistent with your current calm and calm demeanor. ”

"You'll get used to it later. ”

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, his mind moved slightly, and the ancient demon clone, the space clone, and the Huangquan Great Mill Disc were directly integrated into his body.

Without waiting for him to ask, Izumi took a step, and his figure also directly merged into his body, turning into a golden ball of light, appearing in his primordial space, "I will restrain my breath and not be noticed." ”

After that, there was no more sound.

The mist that had dispersed from the summit spread again after the spring had left.

Xiao Chen paused slightly, frowned and thought for a moment before taking a step, and his figure turned into a frightened rainbow and disappeared into the thick fog.

Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Miss, in another month it will be the 100,000th birthday of the Hou Ye, it is said that the Hou Mansion in Zhongjing has been completed, and I am afraid that he will soon move to celebrate the birthday of the Hou Ye in the new capital. No matter how unwilling you are, you will have to follow the relatives of the Hou Mansion to congratulate the Hou Ye on his birthday. After Li Du's death, the woman became the only person the girl could rely on, and her violent temper was unconsciously restrained a lot, and she whispered to comfort her.

The girl became more and more thin, revealing a pointed chin, her pretty face was pale, she leaned on the head of the bed with her hands on her knees, and a smile barely appeared on her face when she heard this, "Aunt Yun, don't worry, I will do everything that should be done, and I won't give people another chance to embarrass us, you can rest assured." ”

"Hey, that's good. Aunt Yun looked at the girl's smile, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart, "I'll go and see if the young lady's medicine is ready." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and retreat, but his face showed a little hesitation, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

After retrieving the medicine and trying it to be non-toxic, the woman delivered it to the young lady. After the last time the cat in the yard occasionally died directly after being contaminated with the medicine bowl, this has become a necessary procedure before every medicine is taken.

Only the young lady and the woman knew about it, and they did not make a noise. Otherwise, if there is no evidence, you won't be able to catch the black hand in the shadows, and you will only make your life more sad.

The woman watched the young lady drink the medicinal juice, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the young lady about it.

"Miss, I occasionally hear the subordinates who cleaned the Hou Mansion mention that our Rong Kingdom defeated the Qi Kingdom, and now we have annexed the entire Qian Kingdom Galaxy. ”

The girl looked up, her eyes showing a little surprise, and she did not understand why the woman had mentioned it.

"Some time ago, the lord of the country canonized the generals who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield... It is said that one of them is named Xiao Chen, who has been canonized as Qingyun Gong by the lord of the country because of his outstanding merits. After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the girl's suddenly wide-eyed eyes, and hurriedly continued, "I just heard some rumors, and I can't do it for sure." Besides, what a high position the prince is, that is an adult whose status is far above the Marquis of Weiyuan, how can it be him. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she nodded slowly, agreeing with what the woman said. After all, in the Great Thousand Realms, there are many strong people, and if you want to be canonized, you not only need to be meritorious, but also have enough cultivation to convince the public. Although he is extremely strong, according to what Uncle Li said before his death, he is just a small creation realm, how can he have the cultivation of Feng Gong in a short period of time... Naturally, this man would not be him.

Putting down the medicine bowl, the girl touched the fire dragon jade in her arms, sensing its warmth, and her face was a little gloomy.

Uncle Li died, Hou Fuzhong was in trouble everywhere, her illness was getting worse and worse, I don't know how long I could last, but before I died, I really wanted to see him again.

"Aunt Yun, I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. ”

The woman secretly blamed herself in her heart, and hurriedly spoke when she heard the words, "Okay, okay, Miss, you just sleep, and when it's time for dinner, I'll call you again." The servant maiden lay down, and the woman carefully withdrew.

Listening to the sound of the door closing behind her, the girl curled up, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a teardrop flowed from the corner of her eye, slowly falling down.

In her arms, she was still holding the only piece of fire dragon jade that could make her feel warm.

Leng Twelve was originally the leader of the spies under the command of Qingyun Gong, his whereabouts were mysterious and erratic, and his departure and return did not attract anyone's attention.

On the second day, Xiao Chen was out of the customs.

"Guogong, these are invitations sent by various families during your retreat, please see if there is anything that needs attention. Daoxian placed the thick stack of invitations in his hand on the desk and stood respectfully to one side.

Since ascending to the Great Thousand Realms, in just a few years, Xiao Chen has risen in the army, his cultivation has skyrocketed, and now he has become the Duke of Rong State, and he has mastered the territory of the entire asteroid system under his command, and these achievements have far exceeded his expectations. With the widening gap in each other's cultivation and the improvement of Xiao Chen's status, between words and deeds, he naturally became a little more respectful.

Xiao Chen leaned behind the desk, wearing a simple green robe, but no matter the material and workmanship, it was the best choice, and even had a not weak defensive force, his eyes fell on the invitation card, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Xiao Chen did offend many powerful people in the Rong Kingdom, but there were some people who had no grudges against him, and now Xiao Chen was honored as a duke, and he was newly established in the Rong Kingdom without a foundation, and it was the time to plump his wings. Naturally, many forces within the Rong Kingdom began to test and get close, in order to catch the big ship of Qingyun Gong and obtain a bright future in the future. Although he is unwilling to contaminate these mundane things, if he shirks them all, it will inevitably give people a sense of pride and intimidation, which is not conducive to cultivating his own power in the Rong country.

"You must have read all of these invitations, screened them, told me which ones need attention, and pushed the others down. "Accepting the invitation shows Qingyun's attitude of recruiting talents, but it is not necessary to agree to every invitation, otherwise it will delay the time, and it will also lower its identity.

"The first three invitations were all sent by subordinates who thought they needed attention, namely the Marquis of Changping, the Marquis of Weiyuan, and the Marquis of Changling. The subordinates have done a detailed investigation, although the three marquis have a marquis, but the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Changling are the successors of the marquis, although they enjoy the name of the marquis, but they have no right of the marquis, and each only has a county as a fief. The Marquis of Weiyuan was a monk who ascended to the lower realm, and was cultivated because he married the daughter of the Marquis of Dongming, and made many meritorious contributions in the army, and was later canonized as a marquis. Later, because he was convicted of Dingguo Gong in the army, he was deprived of military power for some reason, and enjoyed a low-grade Xiuzhen Star as a fief. The three marquis are the representatives of these invitations, and the prince does not want to delay time, so he only accepts three invitations. Daoxian opened his mouth and briefly told the news he had received.

Wei Yuanhou?

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and the figure of a weak woman appeared in his memory, he had also given her a piece of fire dragon jade at the beginning, remember to listen to that Li Du speak, it seems that they are going to join this Weiyuan Hou, I don't know what is going on now?

It wasn't that he had other thoughts, but that the girl did give him a very special feeling.

Stretched out his hand to pick up the invitation card of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, his eyes swept over, Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "The 100,000th birthday of the Marquis of Weiyuan is the day after tomorrow, so I will go to the invitation of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the invitation of the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Changling, you look at the arrangement time." ”

Dao Xian respectfully said yes, put away all the invitations, and bowed and retreated.

As for the preparation of congratulatory gifts, the lord of Rong gave a lot of treasures, and he chose one at random, so naturally there was no need for Xiao Chen to bother.

Two days later, in Zhongjingcheng, Weiyuan Hou was born.

Although he is a marquis in name only, after all, he is quite a prominent figure in the Rong Kingdom, coupled with the faces of the Marquis of Weiyuan and the Marquis of Dongming, the guests who receive the invitation will naturally not refuse, even if they can't arrive in person, they will send their sons and nephews to bring gifts. Because of this kind of trivial matter, naturally no one wants to cause unnecessary trouble.

In front of the newly built Marquis Mansion, the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan greeted the guests on behalf of his father, and the guests naturally had to hug their fists and say congratulations, and if they were honorable after the ceremony, they would say a few words of greetings, and naturally there would be people from the Marquis Mansion who respectfully led them into the palace.

The traffic is busy, the guests are like clouds, all kinds of congratulatory gifts are lined up on the long street, and the master of ceremonies keeps talking, reporting that he has come to congratulate the guests, so lively.

In the main hall, the Marquis of Wei Yuan has already sat down on the main seat, talking and laughing with everyone in the hall, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious. But inadvertently, there was a bit of regret in his eyes.

Back then, he was seized by Hulei Marshal and expelled from the army in a fit of rage, even Wuyi Gong was unwilling to turn his face with Hulei Marshal to contain him, so that he could only have empty ambitions, but he could no longer go to the battlefield, and could only be an idle marquis, which was a great regret in his heart. It wasn't until the war between Rong and Qianguo that Qingyun Gong rose rapidly that he once again saw the possibility of joining the army on the front line. As long as he can get the recognition and help of Qingyun Gong, with his status and weight in the heart of the lord of the country, he will definitely let Weiyuan Marquis get what he wants.

This birthday was the best opportunity to get close to him, and he sent someone to send an invitation early, but Qingyun Gong announced a retreat after the feast of the lord, and there has been no news so far. I'm afraid I'm going to miss this opportunity, and if I want to get close, I can only find an opportunity in the future.

Sighing secretly, he barely bothered to greet the guests.
