The city of all souls is built in the middle of the mountainside, in which the houses are lined up one after another, beautiful, quite royal atmosphere. The entire Great Xia Dynasty, except for the imperial capital, is the most magnificent. The palace that specially entertained the teachers of Ning Seminary is also the only place and the emperor have it, which shows the nobility of Ning Seminary and the scale of Wanling City.

Entering the city, the sound of the wheels became heavy and unpleasant, and the crunching was disturbing. When the coachman heard this, he was secretly afraid that those noble and noble families would not kill themselves because they were unhappy when they heard them, right?

In the coachman's heart, the noble families of the imperial capital are all beings who regard people like ants, and lowly servants like him will be killed if they are killed, and no one will care.

The coachman tugged at the reins, licked his lips, and sweated nervously. However, he thought too much, the nobles of Great Xia were not so rude, but they did bring a touch of vulgarity here.

In the carriage, Huiyue was excited, although she didn't see the outside, she felt that she had seen the world and opened her eyes. This kind of place is not something that an unrelated person like her can come to.

Skimming the window, Xia Xiao glanced at the street. The spacious and atmospheric streets are full of people, but they are all quiet. All the shops were wide open, but there was still no noise or noise.

"If it's a little more noisy, it will feel like the imperial capital!"

Xia Xiao's face was flat, without any ripples, as the second largest city in Great Xia, Wanling City deserved it. But this place is more serious than the imperial capital, giving people a sense of majesty and suffocation. The solemnity in the air made the people who came not dare to be disrespectful and offensive, and no matter how presumptuous they were, they did not dare to say more.

The street was unfamiliar, Xia Xiao glanced at it a few times, then closed the car window, he missed his Xia Mansion.

In the team, only Sun Wei is familiar with this place. This is the second time he has been in charge of the local selection, and he has brought here the best youngsters who have been selected locally. Four years ago, he was cautious like his predecessors, lest something go wrong, but now he has a poisonous grasp and a natural complexion.

"Haven't you arrived at the inn yet?"

has been in the city for a long time, about half an hour, but the carriage still hasn't stopped, Huiyue couldn't help but ask, causing Xia Xiao to lift the corners of his mouth.

"We have a place in the local competition, so we have to live in a place that matches our status, and we can't stop in ordinary alleys. ”

Xia Xiao replied simply, but Huiyue was very grateful, he didn't dislike himself for not being knowledgeable.

When the surroundings gradually quieted down, and even the extremely low voice disappeared, Xia Xiao opened the car window.

"You can take a look, you should enter the palace!"

Huiyue was a little embarrassed, but Shushuang leaned over to the window with her to look at the scenery outside. As Xia Xiao said, they had already passed through the street city at this time and came to the splendid palace.

The solemn soldiers, fully armed and wearing black iron masks, stood on both sides of the palace gate, like statues guarding the gate. When you can see the delicate little faces of Shu Shuang and Hui Yue, the pair of eyes under the mask still shine a little, but they quickly regain their perseverance. The soldiers here are all the elite forbidden army of the dynasty!

Although they entered through the main palace gate, they quickly spared their way. There is no wandering around, there are fewer people, and the speed of the carriage is a little faster than in the city. In a moment, the carriage stopped.

Xia Xiao got out of the car, helped the second daughter down, and when she saw the residence, she dragged out her tone and sighed.

"It's like that. ”

His reaction made Hui Yue embarrassed, this was the gap between her and Xia Xiao? she hadn't noticed it before, but the more elegant she came from, the more cheesy she looked. Her vision was only in the spacious courtyard, which was the first time she had seen such a building. She didn't expect that the palace in her childhood picture book would exist here in addition to being a saint to live in.

"It's big!"

Although Shu Shuang was not surprised, she also sighed.

There are three floors in front of the building, jade masonry carving, Biwa Zhuyong. The five maids and many servants waited for a long time, but the smile on the pale pink face remained unchanged.

"Take the token I gave you earlier, go to my room with them, and in an hour, I'll come back to you, all ready!"

Huiyue didn't know whether to take the luggage in the carriage at this time, but just looked at Xia Xiao. His token is different from Lin Tian, because he is the first person to be crowned, and the treatment should be different.

When the two maids saw the token, they walked with a few servants in lotus steps, and every step was extremely elegant, and they could not find the slightest flaw.

"My lord, please come with me. ”

With a gentle voice, the servants had picked up their belongings and prepared to depart. Huiyue stretched out her hand to pick it up, but the servant bowed her head and retreated, embarrassing her.

"It's fine. ”

Shu Shuang took Huiyue's hand and walked into this glorious building with her. The hall on the first floor is spacious, and there are already a few people seated, Xia Xiao looks at his age, and knows that he is also here to participate in the local competition. But their faces were arrogant, and they were a little carried away.

Seeing that Xia Xiao was so fast, Lin Tian couldn't bear to fall behind. Invisibly, he wanted to compare everything with Xia Xiao, and the latter seemed to have become his benchmark. After asking where to put the wild beasts and placing the griffins, Lin Tiancai followed the maid on the road that Xia Xiao had walked.

went up to the second floor, Huiyue kept staring at the maid's short skirt, and for some reason, she felt a little inferior. She has also done this kind of work, and knows the bitterness and lowliness......

"Can you bring your family in?"

"Of course, you can, as adults like. ”

Xia Xiao nodded and stopped following the maid's footsteps. The door of his room was bigger than Shu Shuang's, but they were all next to each other.

"Put things down and go!"

"Yes. ”

The maid bowed her head, squatted slightly, and then pushed the door open. The furnishings in the room are exquisite, glowing with the light of wealth, and they are finely placed everywhere. In comparison, Shu Shuang's room was much simpler, but it was something that Huiyue had never seen before.

"Slave and maid retire!"

The maid went down with the servants and prepared for the next batch. I don't know how many of these people can survive the screening of Wanling Valley and soar. Only those who really enter the finals will be able to continue to enjoy this kind of treatment in the future, and even become high-ranking officials and nobles. If it is eliminated in the Valley of All Souls, then this trip can only be an experience that cannot be repeated.

Before Xia Xiao walked into the room, he said to Shu Shuang:

"Pack up, I'll come to you in a moment. ”

"Okay. ”

Although there are still a few days before the screening of Wanling Valley officially begins, they also have arrangements today.

Entering Qingxiang's room, Shu Shuang packed up the things in her backpack.

"Shu Shuang, what did Xia Xiao mean just now?"

Xia Xiao just asked if she could bring her family to live in, and when she heard it, it was for her, but Huiyue was not sure.

"You live with me, otherwise it's troublesome, and you have to go out to find a place to live. ”

This room is like a gold brick, extremely noble, and it seems to have nothing to do with Shu Shuang. When there was a trace of inferiority and doubt in her eyes, Shu Shuang said intimately:

"It's okay, it's convenient. ”

Seeing Shu Shuang open his backpack and help him fold up his crumpled clothes, Hui Yue nodded and cleaned up with him.

Behind a wall, Xia Xiao looked at the jade antiques in the room and couldn't help sighing.

"With so much money, it is better to go to the border. ”

If it had been before, he would have felt that the room was generous, and he would not have this kind of feeling. But Longgang City was too poor, especially after the war, but the supplies approved by the dynasty were very few, and it seemed that the people in the frontier could live without eating. It is estimated that only when the competition is over and the instructors of Ning Shen Academy leave, will they strengthen the construction of the frontier to prevent another attack by the Nanshang Empire in the future!

After taking a shower and washing away the exhaustion, Xia Xiao felt a little sleepy, although there were no accidents on the road these days, but it was too long, and he was still a little tired. But he put on the clothes prepared by his mother before coming to Wanling City, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at himself.

My mother once said that her birthday is in the season of ten thousand flowers, and it will be coming soon. Then this selection of Wanling Valley is a gift from him to himself!

After adjusting his belt, Xia Xiao was dressed in a green shirt, and the coldness in his eyes converged, and he walked out of the room.

"Are you ready?"

When he pushed the door in, Xia Xiao was amazed by Shu Shuang.

Although it is winter now, Shushuang is wearing a white dress as white as snow, and the white skirt is polar, like sweeping the dust. Outside of it is a white fur cape, fluffy, which adds a bit of cuteness to her. The quiet Shu Shuang saw Xia Xiao coming, and a sweet smile bloomed, and in an instant, the sky and the earth flickered, leaving only her prosperous face.

It's a shame, if Shu Shuang is bigger, I'm afraid it will be snatched away by others.

When Xia Xiao thought about it, Shu Shuang took the token on the table and said with a smile:

"You can go!"

At this time, the only thing that is not worthy of her is the sachet on her waist, which is too simple, but Shushuang is not willing to wear it, and usually hides it in her backpack. Only on such occasions should it be worn on the body.

"Before we come back, just take a walk. ”

Xia Xiao said and closed the door, leaving only Huiyue in the room. She didn't wander around, and she didn't dare to be alone, so she opened half of the window and secretly looked at the huge palace city.

Miyagi is vast and magnificent, but the holy power in it makes it depressed. Finally, lie on the bed full of rose chrysanthemum petals and enjoy the softness.

In the corridor outside the door, two men and one woman walked out of the three rooms next to Xia Xiao, and they saw Xia Xiao coming downstairs and followed.

"What did you wipe so white?"

Xia Xiao stretched out his hand and touched Shu Shuang's broken little face, which made her laugh.

"Sister Huiyue put light makeup on me. ”

"It's prettier. ”

Shu Shuang smiled, it was a joy to be praised by the boy he liked for his good looks.

It seemed to be no different from the usual smile, but it made the three Lin Tian people who saw it admire from the bottom of their hearts. As a member of the first church, I may have been tired of seeing such scenes a long time ago. Unlike them, they don't dare to say much at this time. This kind of place can't restrain Xia Xiao, nor can it restrain Shu Shuang, but it can restrain them, so that all their arrogance is pulled away.

Sun Wei, just as he did when he left, suddenly appeared in the eyes of the five people, attracting their attention.

"Let's go. ”

Xia Xiao and the others followed, and unconsciously, he and Shu Shuang walked to the front, and Lin Tian and the others took a step slower. It's just a step, but it's hard to make up for it.
