After Xiao Yu walked around the outside, he returned to the inn from the back alley, where there were few ordinary people, and most of them were places where powerful people and monks gathered, and it was much quieter than the street in front. And the guest room rented by Xiao Yu is actually an independent small courtyard, and it is even more difficult to see half a figure on weekdays, after Xiao Yu walked directly into the small courtyard, he ordered several secret guards to pull out a few eyes around the small courtyard. He planned to stay in Zhongzhou for a while, so a clean place to settle was still a must.

Xiao Yu walked into his room, and it didn't take long for Qu Cang to finish what Xiao Yu had ordered, and he also brought a local secret guard. You must know that the secret guards are investigating the world, claiming to be 200,000 people, but they are not monolithic, especially after Xiao Yu took the Northwest Secret Guard and the Grassland Secret Guard under his command, although the secret guard mansions in various places still obey the orders of the Eastern Capital, but with Xiao Lie's acquiescence, they did not refuse some orders from Xiao Yu, the "young master".

Some senior old secret guards couldn't help but speculate in secret, looking at this posture, it seemed that the old master was beginning to hand over authority. And if you think about it carefully, it is also the truth, no matter how the father and son are not in harmony, they can't write two Xiao characters in one stroke, who else can the Xiao family's foundation be given to their son? If you offend the eldest prince at this time, if the eldest prince takes over the Xiao family's foundation one day later, he will not be able to settle accounts after the autumn? Not to mention that the eldest prince is now powerful, sitting on hundreds of thousands of iron horses and tigers in the northwest, compared to the second prince is still young, although he has early wisdom, but he has no foundation, the secret guards around the country are naturally more optimistic about Xiao Yu, and he can't say that he can still mix up the dragon's skills!

Under such circumstances, Qu Cang sent people to visit the Dark Guard Mansion with Xiao Yu tokens, and the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion, which was originally of the same origin, did not shirk at all, and immediately complied, and at the same time sent his own personal entourage to wait for the dispatch of the eldest prince.

Of course, none of these can be put on the stage, but many secret guards tacitly understand it, so as the head of the Secret Guard Mansion, he will not personally come forward in this kind of matter, so as not to be caught by Zhao Qing or Xiao Jin.

After seeing Xiao Yu, this personal entourage knelt down on one knee cleanly, hugged his fists and said: "Li Ruchun, the commander of the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion and the commander of the Pingshan Guard, see His Royal Highness the King of Xiping." ”

Xiao Yu raised his hand and said with a light smile: "Captain Li doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." ”

"Your Highness. Li Ruchun stood up and lowered his head slightly.

Xiao Yu asked: "Li Duwei has lived in Zhongzhou for a long time, and if he wants to know the local situation very well, he might as well tell this king a good story." ”

Li Ruchun raised his head and said: "Returning to Your Highness, the head snakes of several large lands in Zhongzhou are the Zhao family, the Sima family, and the Duanmu family, among which the Zhao family is a big family born and raised in Zhongzhou, and the side branches are all over Zhongzhou, including the worship of Keqing, there are four masters of heaven and man, and twenty-four people in the frost realm, which are much more than ordinary ordinary sects, and the strength is the strongest. ”

"The second is the Sima family, originally just a medium family, in recent years the momentum of development is very strong, the head of the family Sima Zhen, this year is only thirty-five years old, formerly known as Ma Bo, is a green-skinned scoundrel in Zhongzhou, more than ten years ago somehow by the previous head of the Sima family Sima Lei took a fancy to accept as a righteous son, renamed Sima Bo. Sima Bo, who stood out, began to emerge in Zhongzhou, tossing and turning in several major forces, left and right, and finally led the Sima family to soar in Zhongzhou, last winter, Sima Lei died violently at home, Sima Bo officially took over the position of the head of the family, renamed Sima Zhen. He suspected that Sima Zhen had the support of a certain sect behind him, but it was not clear which sect it was. ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "This person can go from a white body to his current status, whether there is support or not, he can be regarded as a brave and skillful hero." ”

Li Ruchun echoed and continued: "Including Sima Zhen, the Sima family has three masters of heaven and man, and sixteen people in the frost realm, although they are inferior to the Zhao family in terms of high-level combat power, but there are a lot of people in the realm of the void and the underworld, and there are nearly a hundred people, which should not be underestimated. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhongzhou is worthy of being one of the strongholds of the cultivation world, and there are so many cultivators that it is rare in the world. Cultivators whose whereabouts are uncertain elsewhere seem to be everywhere here, and you must know that the grassland war when the Dao Sect rushed to help Xiao Yu was just sending more than a hundred people to the Void Netherworld Realm. It's no wonder that the court officials are so weak here, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, but they can't manage it.

"The last Duanmu family was originally a big clan in Shu, after being defeated by the Tang clan in Shuzhong, he was forced to withdraw from Shuzhou, and came to Zhongzhou several times, although he had swept away three families when he was stationed in Zhongzhou, but he rarely participated in the fight on weekdays, and he never managed too many forces, in the words of the people, he lived his own small life behind closed doors. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "What is the strength of the Duanmu family?"

After thinking for a while, Li Ruchun replied: "Although the strength of the family is no longer at its peak, there are also three celestial masters in charge, and their status in Zhongzhou is quite transcendent. ”

Xiao Yu snorted, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "I heard that there is another free immortal in Zhongzhou City?"

Li Ruchun was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There are indeed such rumors, but whether there is really such a carefree immortal, it is unknown whether there is such a lowly immortal." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I know, this time there is Captain Lao Li, you go first." ”

After Li Ruchun gave a respectful salute, he slowly retreated.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, his index finger lightly tapped on the arm of the chair, and said, "Do you say that there are any free immortals in Zhongzhou?"

Qu Cang, who had been standing quietly on the side, pondered his words for a while, and replied: "Zhongzhou is located in the Central Plains, with geographical advantages, and it is the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties. There are many hidden masters, which also makes it difficult for the imperial court to enforce the law, and the majesty is not cast, so that Zhongzhou has the trend of becoming a country in China. Therefore, many of the world's most vicious people have come here to take refuge. Several major sects are also eyeing this place, which should be a pool of troubled waters, but we have traveled all the way, but what we see is orderly in chaos, and Zhongzhou is still tossing and turning between several major sects, and there is a momentum to become a family of its own, if no one is behind the scenes, the subordinates will never believe it. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, that is to say, there is a carefree immortal hiding behind the scenes in Zhongzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu groaned for a moment, tapped his fingers on the armrest a few times, half asking and half muttering to himself: "Then how can we invite this master of the free realm out of the curtain?"

Qu Cang couldn't guess his prince's mind a little, but since he could let Xiao Yu take him with him, Qu Cang also had his own advantages, and after thinking about the wording for a while, he asked carefully: "What does the prince mean...... Do you want to take that free immortal under your command?"

Xiao Yu was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "Do you say that with this king's current net worth, is it enough?"

Cold sweat oozed from Qu Cang's forehead slightly, and he replied carefully: "Naturally, it's enough, but it's just that the Dao Sect is there...... I don't think I agree. ”

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, didn't continue to say more, and instead said: "The Zhao family, the Sima family, and the Duanmu family, the three families stand side by side, and they hold the authority of one state, even the four great families in Jiangzhou and the Jiangzuo Xie family dare not be so rampant. ”

Qu Cang bowed his head and was silent, his own prince's thoughts, he can now sort it out, naturally it is not for any reason to relax the court law, after all, Xiao Yu is the biggest court law contempt, at this time, his heart is clear, and he asked respectfully: "Please show the prince." ”

Xiao Yu took out a box from his sleeve and said calmly: "Give this to the local Secret Guard Mansion." ”

――

Half an hour later, the Zhongzhou Secret Guard Mansion.

Li Rusong, the commander of the secret guard, looked at the box in his hand and Xiao Yu's handwritten letter, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "What a big son, you are going to roast my Li on the fire." ”

Li Ruchun, who was standing behind him, asked softly, "Big brother, what should we do?"

Li Rusong was silent for a long time, his face gradually returned to calm, and he said in a deep voice: "What else can I do, naturally do what the eldest prince says, and do it neatly, not only to let the eldest prince remember our merits, but also to make others unable to grasp our handles." You can do it yourself. ”
