"Who are you?"

Xia Yanzhen got out of the carriage.

The old woman didn't answer, dropped the sentence "follow me", turned around and left.

Xia Yan really thought about it and followed.

After following the old woman in the huge Hong Mansion for a while, Xia Yanzhen came to a building called "Bing Xin Tang".

This is the center of Hongfu, which is mainly used for major external ushering and sending matters.

Xia Yanzhen came all the way, but he didn't see many maids, but many characters such as small servants and family members.

There are not a few guards.

Outside the Ice Heart Hall, there were two rows of guards, with a total of eight people.

exudes a good atmosphere, showing the identity of the Hong family's martial arts family.

It's a pity that the person with the highest force value of the Hong family is not surnamed Hong, which is inevitably a little embarrassing.

The door was open, and a large number of candles were lit inside, illuminating the hall as if it were day.

Two vermilion wooden chairs are facing the door, and on the wall behind them hangs a painting of an ice blue phoenix with wings spread, and a plaque is hung on the painting, with the words "Bing Xintang" written on it.

The core position of the Ice Phoenix Venerable is revealed everywhere, not Hong Xuanwu.

Two people sat on two large chairs, a man and a woman, looking at Xia Yanzhen who walked in.

The gaze is like electricity, and the momentum is compelling.

Xia Yanzhen didn't notice it, and looked at the two of them.

The man is burly, square-faced, with a long beard, and he looks like a middle-aged man who looks very majestic when he sits there.

The woman is very young, just looking at her appearance, it is estimated that she is in her twenties, her long hair is coiled up as a woman's hairstyle of the Tianwu Dynasty, her appearance is beautiful, a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows.

Dressed in blue and white, without any other colors or frills.

The temperament is cold and sharp, making people feel like they are falling into an ice cave at a glance, which is enough to hide its glamorous appearance.

"Sir, Miss, someone brought it."

The old woman brought Xia Yanzhen in, said a word, and withdrew quietly.

The door closed behind Xia Yanzhen.

The sound came not of wood colliding, but of some kind of metal.

The closed door separates the inside and the outside.

The old woman called the man master, but the other was a young lady.

The master is Hong Xuanwu, he has no daughter, and naturally no one in Hong Mansion can be called a young lady.

That young lady is undoubtedly the Ice Phoenix Venerable.

The reason why she is called Miss is probably that this old woman is an old man brought by Venerable Bingfeng from her mother's house - a role such as a grandmother who has been taking care of her since she was a child.

After coming to Hongfu, he did not change his name.

It can also be seen from this that some rumors about the Hong family and Hong Xuanwu from the outside world may not be groundless.

An old lady has always been called Miss, and she doesn't change her name, which makes it clear that she looks down on Hong Xuanwu.

According to the customs and habits of the Tianwu Dynasty, this title can almost be regarded as scolding "Hong Xuanwu is not worthy of the Ice Phoenix Venerable" in person.

Hong Xuanwu is very self-contained, he is not angry, and he may have gotten used to it.

"I don't salute when I see my mother and biological father, what a wild boy!" The Ice Phoenix Venerable looked at Xia Yan Zhen's appearance and patted the armrest.

With a crisp sound, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop by dozens of degrees suddenly.

"Madame, don't be angry." Hong Xuanwu persuaded with a smile, and looked at Xia Yanzhen again, "It's not easy, don't be afraid, I'm your father, Hong Xuanwu." ”

"I'm not afraid." Xia Yanzhen smiled.

"Oh?" Venerable Ice Phoenix raised his eyebrows, exuding a sinister aura, "I can't see it, you're not a little timid." ”

"Children, they haven't seen the world, they are either bold or cowardly." Hong Xuanwu smiled again and opened his mouth to play a round, "Madame wants to see this child, and now she has seen it." Don't scare him, I'll come next, okay? ”

"Whatever you want." Venerable Ice Phoenix stood up and left through the back door of the hall.

The smile on Hong Xuanwu's face immediately disappeared, and he was replaced with a vicious expression: "Hmph! Stinky woman, wait for me to break through to the soul transformation stage, see if I don't crush you in-"

"Huh!"

However, a sneer interrupted Hong Xuanwu's cruel words, and the temperature in the hall dropped a few more points.

"Ahem."

Hong Xuanwu immediately changed his smile skillfully, and then restrained his serious expression, and then showed a smile again, and said to Xia Yanzhen: "Come, come closer, child, let Daddy and I take a good look." ”

The speed of changing his face is enough to be called a master.

The most interesting thing is that even if he is constantly changing his face, the majestic temperament on his body has not disappeared.

Xia Yanzhen showed a half-true and half-fake disgusted expression, and did not come closer.

Hong Xuanwu simply stepped forward with a smile, patted Xia Yanzhen twice on the shoulder and arm, spared it again, and nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, a talent, worthy of being my son." ”

In terms of appearance, Hong Xuanwu is still very good.

The two stand together, although they are not similar, but it is not against the harmony to say that father and son.

"Are you really my father Hong Xuanwu?"

"It's like a fake." Hong Xuanwu patted his chest with pride.

"Zhen Guogong?"

"Yes, Zhen Guogong."

"Then am I a little younger than the prince?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"In your generation, you are only 'younger' than the prince." Hong Xuanwu said that he understood what Xia Yanzhen was asking.

In the circle of the "second generation" of the imperial city, the biggest ones are the princes, and the one who is a little lower than the prince's status is the prince.

The Tianwu Dynasty naturally had princes.

However, after the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, all the princes left the imperial city and went to the fiefdom.

The princes don't need to be hostages in the imperial city or anything.

Emperor Apocalypse is truly the first in the world, with a super high force value and great power.

There is no fear of the prince's rebellion, and there is no need for hostages.

There are basically no sons in the imperial city, and occasionally on major festivals, he comes on behalf of his father.

The prince, the prince, and the next one is the child of the fourth prince.

is called "little grandpa" by the outside world.

There are four of the many little grandfathers, who are very handsome, and are called the four evils of the imperial city by the people.

"That's good." Xia Yanzhen said, "Then from now on, I won't be bullied anymore, only I will bully others, right?" ”

"Have you ever been bullied?" Hong Xuanwu was furious, "Who is it, even my Hong Xuanwu's son dares to move?" ”

"I forgot, but I have this impression." Xia Yanzhen said, "But I wasn't injured by someone on the road, and I still have soul loss?" This must have bullied me. ”

"Don't worry, I'm already looking for someone."

"Okay, tell me when you find it, I'm going to kill them with my own hands!" Xia Yan was really babbling and murderous.

"Okay, it's my son!"

Hong Xuanwu laughed, took Xia Yanzhen to eat, and settled down.

Wait outside the door for him to fall asleep before leaving, looking like a dutiful father.

After leaving, Hong Xuanwu and the Ice Phoenix Venerable met.

"How is he?"

"It's fine, I'm healthy." Hong Xuanwu said, "I don't know if it's stupid or really stupid, in short, I can't turn it into the palm of our hand." ”

"That's good, let him wake up as soon as possible." The Ice Phoenix Venerable said, "Little Immortal doesn't have much time, so he can't afford to wait. ”

"Even if we succeed in extracting our souls and instilling souls, Xiaoxian may not be able to reach the realm of strengthening, and we will still not be able to inherit the position of the prince of the country." Hong Xuanwu said.

The position of Zhenguo Gong is not hereditary.

If you can't reach a certain level of martial soul master, you will not be able to inherit the position of the prince of the country, and you will be downgraded.

In addition to the realm, it can be replaced by other merits.

This merit is basically a war merit.

However, at present, the Tianwu Emperor is leveling the four seas.

Emperor Tianqi drove several expeditions more than 20 years ago, and the surrounding barbarians were greatly injured, and he did not dare to invade the frontier again for more than ten years.

It has not yet recovered, not even the act of disturbing the border.

There is no fighting at the border.

For example, today, the Wu Dynasty really has no military achievements to stand.

There are two credits that can barely be replaced, one is the various demon beasts in the imperial border.

The second is all kinds of martial soul masters who have fallen into the devil's path.

These two can be regarded as shadows under the peaceful and prosperous world, and they pop up from time to time to cause some trouble.

However, no matter what, without the support of strength, it is difficult to make contributions.

What Hong Xuanwu said was the truth.

The Ice Phoenix Venerable was angry: "My son, as long as he is a martial soul master, he will be fine." When the time comes, I will go and ask His Majesty for a favor, and it will be enough! ”

"Okay." Hong Xuanwu said, "Even if Your Majesty gives this favor, wouldn't a Zhenguo Duke who hasn't even reached the realm of physical strength make people laugh?" ”

"With me here, who would dare to laugh?"

"Others are attacking this in the court, can you still rush up and kill people?" Hong Xuanwu gradually hardened.

"Then don't go to court."

"What's the use of not going to court to Zhenguogong?"

"I'm such a son, I want to give him the best!" Ice Phoenix Venerable's eyes showed a fierce light, "Hong Xuanwu, have you repented?" ”

"Repentance?"

Hong Xuanwu sneered, "If Hong Buyi's kid is the same as you and me, he can awaken the martial soul at the age of five, I will regret it." But he really is that kind of person, and he can't make it this far. A person who has not been able to awaken the martial soul at the age of eighteen, will I regret such a waste? ”

"You're saying that Fairy is a waste?" Ice Phoenix Venerable screamed.

It is believed that Hong Xuanwu refers to Sang and scolds Huai.

"I'm-like like fairy isn't my son!" Hong Xuanwu scolded his mother on the spot, and then let out a sigh of relief and calmed down, "It's useless not to say this." According to our agreement, if Hong Buyi can't awaken the martial spirit, let him live well, and a waste is not worth your trouble. ”

"Hmph, I'm talking, I hope you don't break your word." Ice Phoenix Venerable said.

"I've always kept my promises, and you should know that over the years."

The Ice Phoenix Venerable didn't say anything, and dropped the last sentence: "Let's start tomorrow." "Turn and leave.

Hong Xuanwu looked at the back of the Ice Phoenix Venerable and snorted, and left as well.

The two always slept in separate rooms.

Except for the month or two when they got married, they have never had sex together.

The reason is that the martial arts cultivated by Venerable Ice Phoenix are not suitable for the same room.

Although Hong Xuanwu lacks heirs, he does not lack women, so naturally he will not go to this woman's side to be angry.

"I don't understand, what are these two people doing?"

In the room, Xia Yanzhen put away the observation magic mirror.

The two looked like they were arguing, not knowing what they were arguing about.

The next morning.

Xia Yanzhen's breakfast was sent to the courtyard, which meant that he did not give free movement.

As soon as he finished breakfast, Hong Xuanwu came: "Son, son, come, Dad wants to give you a big gift." ”

"What courtesy?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Let you become a martial soul master! How is it, Gao is not happy, is he surprised? Hong Xuanwu said with a smile.
