Zixuan City is the imperial capital of the Zixuan Dynasty.

This is the origin of the culture and economy of the entire Zixuan Dynasty, and it is also the administrative center of the entire Zixuan Dynasty. The decrees about the entire Zixuan Dynasty were issued from here, including various personnel appointments, adjustments, economic growth, and other issues.

All the clans of the first-class families of the entire dynasty have settled here, and even some second-rate families and third-rate families have also chosen to settle here. And basically, the second- and third-rate families that can settle here also belong to the powerful families compared with other families of the same size, although everything is not so absolute, in fact, there are still some powerful and large-scale families like the Gu family, and they have not settled here.

However, just because you don't settle here doesn't mean you don't have a house here.

The Gu family is a family that started by doing business, no matter where it is, as long as it is a place that their caravan can reach, they will naturally have a place to live.

Lu Li, who had already learned from Gu Xichao on the road before, naturally knew very well what the Gu family was entering the city for.

At the end of the month, it is the 80th birthday of Xiao Shaofeng, the iron rider of the Zixuan Dynasty.

This Xiao Houye of the Zixuan Dynasty once used the military strength of 5,000 cavalry to block the 50,000 troops of the neighboring countries who were preparing to outflank and annihilate the main force of the Zixuan Dynasty.

Yes, Xiao Shaofeng's 5,000 cavalry was less than 100 left, but these 50,000 troops were forcibly blocked, unable to complete the strategic goal of encirclement, and finally left nearly 20,000 corpses and retreated in ashes.

After that, Xiao Shaofeng began to show his military talent, and he was promoted all the way to the official position.

He alone supported the entire Mu Xiao family.

It is said that this year, although Xiao Houye held this 700-year-old birthday banquet, he was not extravagant, and only those who received the invitation could intervene. As soon as this news came out, all the families of the entire Zixuan Dynasty were a little distracted, "In previous years, there was no such rule" Almost every time Xiao Houye's birthday banquet, people from the major families participated in the congratulations" and gave gifts, and even the Xiao family would hold a banquet for several days.

But today's abnormal behavior made many families a little frightened.

Those first-rate families don't have to worry about it, "They are all on the list of invitations, and individual second-rate families will also have such qualifications, only those third-rate families will be busy dredged up relationships everywhere at the moment in order to get this invitation."

After entering the city, many family members found out that they were going to join the birthday banquet of the Xiao family this year, and they still needed an invitation letter, and all the gifts they gave out were returned intact. Originally, many people were going to take care of the joke of the family, and they brought so many tools over, and if they were to be shipped back in the end, it would be a joke among all the families.

But when the Gu family entered the city, a servant from the Xiao family handed a letter to Gu Xichaoyi, which was undoubtedly an invitation to Xiao Houye's eightieth birthday.

This scene, almost instantly, reached the ears of all the families in the imperial capital of the Zixuan Dynasty at this moment.

Of course, the expressions of these people who received the news were also different. Those people from first-class families look at this matter with the attitude of watching a play, because the Gu family may be considered powerful and prestigious among those third-rate families, but for them, the behemoths of first-class families, it is not enough at all, at most, it will have an impact and threat to some second-rate families.

However, in addition to the indifference of the first-rate families and the disdain and sneer of the second-rate families, those third-rate families are a little restless.

Especially those who have conflicts with the Gu family.

"Xiao Chao, it seems that your Gu family really has a lot of enemies. Lu Li sat in the car, his voice cold.

His vocal cords had been damaged a little before, so he was a little hoarse when he spoke, but through these days of cultivation and recovery, "his voice has completely returned to normal.

With Lu Li's sensitivity to aura, he could naturally easily judge that "the moment the caravan entered the city, there were at least ten or more hostile gazes. Although these hostilities are not strong, they also fully identify a problem, if the Gu family is really in trouble, then these people will definitely jump out and fight a stick, and the reason for any move now is simply that the Gu family is still relatively strong.

The senior laughed. Gu Xichao looked modest, and said softly, "When a family does business, it is inevitable that there will be competition from peers, which is really not an enemy. ”

Lu Li smiled, if someone saw his current smile, I am afraid that they would faint directly.

However, since Gu Xichao said so, Lu Li didn't plan to say anything more, he still closed his eyes and recuperated, but at the same time he was also on guard. He didn't believe that the hostility was really just the jealousy of peer competition, and although he didn't feel the killing intent, a clever killer would never let out the killing intent before he even killed someone.

Originally, Lu Li just wanted to follow this caravan into the city and leave, because with his strength, it was not difficult to get a transmission note. It's just that these days, Gu Xichao has fulfilled his identity as a junior, giving Lu Li a lot of respect, and even giving himself all the food in the entire team, which Lu Li only found out when he left the carriage at night.

At that time, everyone was munching on dry food, even the young lady of their Gu family was eating dry food, but what was a little better than the others was that she could get a fresh fruit every night.

This made Lu Li feel really embarrassed, and immediately asked Gu Xichao not to do this from the next day, and everyone else would give him whatever he ate, although in this way, Yuzao, a foodie, was not happy, but because of Lu Li's iron-blue face, Yuzao had no choice but to stop pretending to be a scoundrel.

Of course, if it was just such a thing, Lu Li would definitely not stay.

However, he was very touched by Gu Xichao's sentence "If others treat me as a national soldier, I will repay me as a national soldier", so Lu Li decided to stay for the time being. He really didn't have anything to do in the recent period, and it was not difficult to ask the people of the Gu family to help him find a transmission note, but the result was that the Zixuan Dynasty was not as good as the White Jade Dynasty, and the Immortal Realm cultivators were a lot of them.

In the Zixuan Dynasty, with a cultivator in the Immortal Realm, this family can be regarded as a second-rate family, although it is the weakest kind, but it also has enough deterrent power compared to the third-rate family. As for those first-class families, they all have at least one Jindan Realm cultivator, and some powerful first-class families may have several Jindan Realm cultivators or even Yin Yang Realm cultivators.

It is said that in the royal family of the Zixuan Dynasty, there are many cultivators who have survived the Wind and Fire Tribulation.

And beside this Xiao Shaofeng Xiao Houye, there are two cultivators of the Immortal Golden Pill Realm, and there are more than a dozen cultivators from the Immortal Distraction Realm to the Immortal Refining Gang Realm. And Xiao Shaofeng, the waiting master himself, is also a cultivator of the Immortal Yin Yang Realm.

This is also the reason why those first-class families give Xiao Shaofeng face so much, and those second-rate and third-rate families also want to make fun of Xiao Shaofeng.

These third-rate families who were able to settle in Zixuan City basically had more than two innate Great Perfection martial artists in their families. And the strongest strength of the Gu family is only Gu Xichao, even he has not stepped into the Wonderland, but the Gu family has received an invitation, which makes other people who are also third-rate families definitely unhappy.

"Senior, this is the tool you asked me to buy. When Gu Xichao passed by a tailor shop, he deliberately purchased some tools that Lu Li explained.

This includes gloves, masks, and a few changes of clothes.

With Lu Li's current face, he naturally didn't dare to come out and wander around at will. In his words, it wasn't his fault that he was disfigured, but it was his sin to be disfigured and run around, so he needed to buy these gloves and masks.

This caravan soon came to the Gu Mansion in Zixuan City.

Here, even the Hengyu purchased by the Gu family in Zixuan City, can easily accommodate two or three hundred people, and it can be regarded as a compound.

After arriving at the Gu Mansion, Gu Xichao immediately began to get busy, not only did he need to place the accommodation of all the guards, but he also needed to immediately place others to purchase food, clean the yard, and even place the unloading personnel and let people put these goods in different categories, and at the same time, he also had to distinguish the guards into shifts to ensure that the Gu Mansion was guarded in the next time.

In the end, the gift to Xiao Houye is very valuable, and it is also very rare, so it is not okay not to take care of it.

But fortunately, it didn't take long for the young lady of the Gu family to get out of the carriage and start to assist. As the heir of the future Gu family, this Gu family has never spent time in the care of the Gu family, she has already begun to assist the Gu family's business at a very early age, so she commands and places it,

She is not unfamiliar, but has a sense of fluency that is easy to master, which is much better than Gu Xichao in this regard.

"Hello, senior. After Gu Xiang saw Lu Li also appearing, he immediately came over to say goodbye.

This is actually not the first time Lu Li has seen Gu Xiang, the young lady of the Gu family.

In fact, when Lu Li got out of the carriage that night, he had already met Gu Xiang. At that time, although Gu Xiang was surprised by the injury on Lu Li's face, she did not faint because of this, but cried, and the first sentence she said to Lu Li at that time, Lu Li still remembers.

"There must be a lot of pain in so many wounds, right?

After hearing this, Lu Li's heart cried at that time.

"yes, why did the damn master be so ruthless as to throw him in and be tortured!"

Now that he saw Gu Xiang saying hello to him, Lu Li nodded his head in the style of a senior.

"Then senior, you can walk around at will, I will go to help Gu Lao first, and if I have time, I will take you to visit this courtyard later. ”

Lu Li pretended to be deep and said, "Okay." ” @
