Xiao Rui looked at the young man in front of him, and he had a warm feeling in his heart. Ever since he left home to enter the Great Mountain to cultivate until the whole family came to Shengtian City, he has always been working hard alone, although there has always been Dao Zun to communicate with him, but Dao Zun is only to improve his ability. After coming to Shengtian City, he was accompanied by his family, but when faced with difficulties, he worked his own. It can be said that Xiao Rui has never made friends. But although the young man on the opposite side was only in contact with each other for a short time, he felt that Xiao Rui was indeed very down-to-earth, and there was no pressure and urgency when facing others. This person is Duan Hui!

Duan Hui looked at Xiao Rui with a smile on his face: "Little brother, you are really hidden! Even I have been deceived by you." Why, is this because of the Zhao family, do you want to leave?" Xiao Rui was slightly embarrassed: "Yes, but how do you know, you found me so quickly?" Duan Hui smiled: "My surname is Duan, think about how I can't find you?" If it's just because of the Zhao family, you don't have to leave. If you can trust me, come with me and I'll take care of your family. Looking at Duan Hui's sincere smile, a warm current flowed through Xiao Rui's heart: "I'm afraid of causing you trouble." It's better to leave. Duan Hui smiled again: "You have helped me a lot, if I don't even make a move when you are in trouble, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." Even if it's a chance to repay you, don't think about anything else, just come with me. ”

Xiao Rui looked back at his parents and sister in the car, his parents were old and not in good health, and it was indeed an ordeal for them to run around again. Nodding, Xiao Rui said to Duan Hui, "Okay, then I'll bother you." There is no talk of repayment. But if it really causes you trouble in the future, I'm still going to go. "No problem. Duan Hui was very decisive, turned around and led the way in front, leading Xiao Rui's family towards the center of Shengtian City.

Walking through a few large streets, the city within the city of Shengtian City----- the Imperial City, appeared in front of the eyes of the group. The tall city gate was guarded by the Imperial City Army, constantly checking the flow of people entering and leaving. When he saw Duan Hui, the Imperial City Army guarding the city gate did not check, but bowed and saluted. Send Xiao Rui's family led by Duan Hui into the imperial city. At this time, Xiao Rui had gradually understood that Duan Hui should be a member of the royal family, and his status was not low. Therefore, there was some relaxation in his heart, and he understood why Duan Hui found him so quickly, and promised to take care of his family. Although he didn't have the idea of clinging to the royal family, if he could let his family get better protection, it would be a good choice, as long as he thought about returning Duan Hui in the future. Solved the initial doubts in my heart. Xiao Rui also began to be in the mood to look at the scenery in the imperial city. There is really a big difference between the inside and outside of the imperial city, the streets are very wide, the flow of people is much less, there are basically no small vendors on the streets, but the shops on both sides of the street are not inferior to the outer city at all, and even more magnificent than the outer city, and the people who come in and out look very noble. There are also some green plants planted on both sides of the street, which makes people feel that the air is so refreshing and comfortable. Xiao Rui occasionally looked back at his parents and sister in the car, and saw that everyone had a look of surprise and envy on their faces. Xiao Rui knows that his family also likes it here.

Soon, Duan Hui led them to the door of a luxurious mansion, the tall courtyard wall extended to almost the two ends of the entire street, and on both sides of the wide mansion gate stood two mighty beast sculptures, and the plaque on the lintel had the word "Hui" written on it. The door is guarded by family. Seeing Duan Hui and his party coming, someone immediately stepped forward to take over, moved Xiao Rui's family's things in, led the carriage into the backyard, unloaded the car, and led the horse into the stable. Duan Hui instructed people to clean up a separate small courtyard, which had three guest rooms. settled Xiao Rui's family, and then ordered someone to arrange a banquet to entertain Xiao Rui's family. And Duan Hui is the only one to accompany him, Xiao Rui naturally knows that being able to accompany his family as Duan Hui is already exalting himself, and naturally there will be no one else to accompany him. After lunch, Duan Hui had something to deal with because he had something to deal with, and told Xiao Rui's family that they could rest assured that they could go to the imperial city to play, and that they had already instructed someone to lead the way. Xiao Rui understood that this meant protection. I couldn't help but feel grateful, but I didn't explain it. Just let Duan Hui hurry up and deal with his own affairs, and if there is anything that needs Xiao Rui, let Duan Hui not be polite. Duan Hui didn't shirk either, and left.

Looking at the luxurious furnishings in the room, I ate delicious food that I had never seen before. Xiao Rui's family was full of emotion, and Xiao Haiqing called Xiao Hua and Xiao Rui's sister and brother to their room. Xiao Haiqing first asked Xiao Rui and Duan Hui about their acquaintance. Xiao Rui only said that he had brought a message to Duan Hui, but he did not dare to say that he had killed anyone. Xiao Haiqing would never have thought that Xiao Rui would hide it, but he just sighed that Duan Hui was a person who reciprocated the grace of a drop of water. So he instructed the two of them to follow the rules, help with whatever work they can, and not treat themselves as guests. People can afford us, but we can't be proud of it. The siblings readily agreed. So they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Rui returned to the room and sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, but he was thinking about how he met Duan Hui that day. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Rui guessed that Duan Hui must also have a conflict with the Zhao family, and there may be big trouble. Although his current strength can't fight against the top masters of the Zhao family, he should still be able to deal with people at an ordinary level. And your own distraction should still be helpful for finding out the news. Since Duan Hui takes care of himself and his family so much, he should also do something for him. So, Xiao Rui got up and walked outside the hospital. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, a subordinate immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you need anything?" Childe has instructed that as long as the gentleman's family needs anything, just ask, and we will handle it immediately. Xiao Rui smiled slightly: "Thank you so much for your son-in-law, I don't need anything, I just want to ask if your son-in-law is in the house now, I want to see him." The man said, "My son-in-law is now meeting guests in the living room." If you want to see my son-in-law, you can go back to your room and wait. I'll let you know when the guests are gone. Xiao Rui said: "No need, I'll go over first, just wait outside the living room, lest your son-in-law have to wait for me." After pondering for a while, the subordinate nodded and agreed, and took Xiao Rui to the outside of the living room. The main door to the living room was closed, so you couldn't see it or hear it. There are also two small waiting rooms on either side of the main entrance of the living room, which are places for guests to rest while waiting for the host to receive them.

Xiao Rui had just drunk a cup of tea in the living room when he heard the sound of someone coming out from the main door of the living room and Duan Hui sending him off. After the guests left, Xiao Rui opened the door and came to the living room door. The door was open, and Duan Hui was standing inside, thinking about things. As if hearing the movement, Duan Hui looked up and saw that it was Xiao Rui, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Brother Xiao, why are you here, is there something that the subordinates are not entertaining?" Xiao Rui hurriedly replied: "Where, where." The people in the house are very kind to us, and I have something to come to see you. Duan Hui was stunned for a moment, but immediately waved his hand to give up his seat and instructed his subordinates to change the tea and snacks again. Then he looked at Xiao Rui: "Brother Xiao, if you have anything, you just need to ask someone to come over and talk to me, why did you come here yourself?"

Xiao Rui shook his head: "Brother Duan, I don't know what your identity is, but you must be from the royal family." I am deeply honored to be able to do this to me in your capacity. I don't want to cling to nobility. But I am still very grateful for Brother Duan's kindness. I know that you should have a conflict with the Zhao family now. Although I am not strong, I am willing to share it for you. Don't shirk either, like you said, if you don't let me do something, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life. ”

Looking at Xiao Rui's resolute look, Duan Hui just sighed: "Brother, I can see that you are sincere." I won't hide it from you, I am indeed a member of the royal family, I am the third son of the current emperor, and I am a prince. That's why I dared to tell you last time that I was the only one in the Holy Heaven City. And the Zhao family has been preparing to overthrow the empire ruled by our Duan family and take the throne recently. Although they are very hidden, there is no impermeable wall in the world. We still know a little bit about it, but we don't have concrete evidence yet. Therefore it is not possible to punish them openly. Now we're gathering evidence and we're putting people in place to take precautions. If you really want to help me, think about it, if we are overthrown, then you and your family really have no way out. The Zhao family will definitely not let you go again. ”

Xiao Rui said: "Whether you are the prince or not, whether the Zhao family will let me go in the future or not, it doesn't matter, I just want to help you, because you believe in me." I don't hide it from you, I have never had friends, I just treat you as a friend. In the future, the Zhao family will be wiped out by you, and I will leave without a threat outside, but I will always remember you as a friend. If the Zhao family wins, even if I don't help you, the Zhao family won't let me go. Besides, I can't do much of a role, just to help you run errands and find out some news. ”

Duan Hui didn't shirk this time, stood up and came to Xiao Rui, and patted Xiao Rui on the shoulder: "Brother, I recognize you as a friend, because I don't have any friends, and some are just some partners in terms of interests." In our position, it's so hard to make a real friend. Since we're friends, you're welcome. I'll ask someone to prepare some clothes for you, and you'll go to the outer city to help me find out more news." If you have the news, come back and tell me that your clothes have the mark of our Duan family, and you will not be interrogated when you enter the city. And when necessary, you will be contacted by someone. But you must be safe. When encountering the masters of the Zhao family, you must dodge, and you must not act rashly. ”

Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, Duan Hui ordered someone to bring clothes, Duan Hui explained some contact methods and the key points of listening to the news, Xiao Rui got up and went back to his yard. After entering the courtyard, Xiao Rui went directly to his parents' room and told Xiao Haiqing and his wife about his plans. Xiao Haiqing and his wife were very supportive of Xiao Rui, but only told him to pay attention to safety. Sister Xiao Hua also came over to say a few words, Xiao Rui returned to the room and changed his clothes, Xiao Rui didn't notice any difference in his clothes. Coming out of Duan Hui's mansion, no one came out to inquire this time. Xiao Rui also went out of the imperial city directly, and there was no one at the gate of the city to check it. Xiao Rui couldn't help but secretly sigh at the ability of the big forces to do things. Out of the imperial city, Xiao Rui went directly to Xicheng District.

And after Xiao Rui left the living room, a person walked out from behind the screen in the living room, this person was more similar to Duan Huichang, but slightly older. After this person came out, he sat down directly, looked at Duan Hui and said, "What is the origin of this Xiao Rui, have you investigated it clearly?

Duan Hui smiled slightly: "Second brother, don't worry, although I don't know what Xiao Rui's true identity is, I just believe him." Because the first time we met, he dared to let me grab his wrist with confidence. If it were someone with bad intentions, they wouldn't trust me so much. Also, when our people saw him fighting with Zhao Min of the Zhao family and the people of Haitian Sect, they really showed no mercy to his subordinates. And he gave me a very earthy and real feeling, not like he was deceiving me. ”

"Well, I hope you're not wrong, although one more of him won't change anything, but after all, his strength is still able to deal with a junior grandmaster-level person. I really didn't expect that he would have such strength at such a young age. Could it be that there is some high-finger sect behind him or some super sect or family cultivating him? If it's true, then we'll make money. ”

Duan Hui said solemnly: "Second brother, no matter what Xiao Rui's background is, what I fancy is not whether he has a backer behind him, but his trust in me and his willingness to treat me as a friend." ”

"yes, it's so hard for us to have a friend. Xiaohui, then the second brother congratulates you on making a good friend!"
