Chapter 2 The head of foreign affairs of the Xia family
The current foreign affairs director of the Xia family is named Xia You, and he used to be Xia Luo's father's subordinate.
After Xia Luo's father died of illness, he ascended to the throne.
Since Xia Luo entered the Xia family, this Xia You has taken care of Xia Luo in every way, saying that he is repaying Xia Luo's father's cultivation grace.
At this time, he was brewing emotions in his heart, thinking about how sad he should be when his former benefactor's son died.
Thinking about it, I entered the play.
I saw that his face was full of sadness, and he had a lot of affection and righteousness, but he saw Xia Lu walking in front of him with a calm face.
The moment he saw Xia Luo, his eyes quickly flashed with shock.
And it happened to be looked at by Xia Luo.
After seeing this look, combined with some of his own memories, plus the poison on his body when he first came here, he immediately thought of something.
There is also a reason why the people of the Xia family let Xia Lu be an errand handyman.
That was to let Xia Luo get familiar with the work of Xia's family inside and outside as soon as possible.
Therefore, the Xia family made it clear that they wanted Xia Lu to inherit his father's work and make him the head of foreign affairs.
But this also makes sense, after all, Xia Luo's father has been working in the Xia family for more than 40 years, and he has been playing with the current head of the family since childhood.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.
So it's understandable that you want to take care of Xia Luo.
But this will inevitably touch the interests of some people.
For example, the current head of foreign affairs, Xia You!
Therefore, the poison on his body is likely to be put by Xia You.
But this is just speculation, and the specifics have to be tested.
"Uncle You, are you looking for me?"
Hearing Xia Lu's words, Xia You came to his senses, and a lame smile appeared on his face.
"Why are you up so late today?"
And Xia Luo also greeted him with a smile.
"Somehow, it felt like I had eaten something unclean, so it was a little uncomfortable."
His eyes were like torches, staring at Xia You's heart, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little dodgy.
And this scene happened to be seen by Xia Luo, which made him even more convinced of his guess.
"Oh? Is that better? ”
"It's okay, I don't know what Uncle Yuan is looking for me."
Hearing this, Xia You's instinctive expression stiffened, and then quickly eased up.
"Oh yes, yes, uncle, I care about you so much that I almost forgot about business, you go to that blacksmith shop in Xicheng to get a sword, and then send it to Lord Wei."
I really care about him, but I care about whether he is dead or not, right?
He sneered in his heart, but he didn't express it, and arched his hand.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he immediately walked away.
After Xia Lu left, Xia You's brows furrowed together.
He could clearly feel that Xia Luo was a little different from usual today, but he couldn't say why it was different.
Did you guess that you had poisoned his food?
It shouldn't be, if you guess it, the other party still dares to stay in the Xia family?
Shaking his head, he preferred to believe that there was something wrong with the poison than if his matter was revealed.
In his eyes, Xia Luo is just a little kid who doesn't know anything, isn't he just doing it himself?
"Hmph, don't let me have another chance, I'll give you the whole cruel medicine!"
Apparently, he also wanted to poison him!
And Xia Luo was thinking about how to kill Xia You before he killed him.
The other party will definitely not make another move in a short period of time, and even if he does, it will be a more powerful poison.
However, this is not a matter for Xia Luo, who is invincible to all poisons, and now he can only take one step at a time.
Walking out of the gate of the Xia family, it is the most prosperous Kyoto in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
There is a constant stream of vendors and pedestrians, and from time to time horse-drawn carriages will speed by, kicking up clouds of dust.
It's clearly a scene of prosperity.
In this regard, Xia Luo just shook his head.
"Prosperity must decline, and it is time for a dynasty that has lasted for nearly a thousand years to be replaced."
As he walked down the street, he began to think about improving his strength.
The path of cultivating immortals cannot be taken in a short time.
Because he rummaged through all his memories, he couldn't find any information about the immortals.
But this is also normal, on the one hand, because he is still young and not deeply involved in the world.
On the other hand, it is because in this world, immortals and mortals are too far away.
A mortal wants to become a monk.
It's hard, it's so hard!
However, there is another way to improve the strength.
That is the practice of martial arts.
The martial arts of this world are divided into two great realms: acquired and inherent.
The acquired ones are divided into: quenching the body in the early stage, washing the marrow in the middle stage, and clearing the pulse in the later stage.
The innate is divided into: the early external strength, the medium strength, and the later stage.
As for the innate after that, he is the grandmaster.
According to Xia Luo's experience in playing games for five years, some powerful martial arts grandmasters can even fight with Xiuzhen Mengxin.
As long as he concentrates on practicing martial arts, he will be able to cultivate martial arts to the grandmaster in one or two hundred years, and he will also have a guarantee for entering the cultivation realm at that time.
But what is above the Grandmaster?
What is the pinnacle of martial arts?
Thinking of this, he suddenly paused, blinked, and thought of a possibility.
The reason why a martial artist can't compete with a monk is because practicing martial arts can't increase longevity, and after practicing martial arts to a certain extent, he will die of old age.
But his longevity is endless, and he can completely cultivate martial arts to a new height, an unprecedented height!
Even the height of being invincible in the cultivation realm!
If you enter the cultivation realm again at that time......
Isn't this the same as opening a hanging?
But then again, even if he found a way to practice martial arts, he wouldn't have any money.
Poor and rich in martial arts, it costs a lot of money to practice martial arts.
How do you make money?
Plagiarize the works of poets of previous lives and then go and show yourself?
It's a bit hanging, after all, the poetry culture in this world doesn't seem to be very prevalent.
Using distilled water to make a lot of money?
The winemaking process in this world seems to be very developed......
After thinking of various methods, Xia Luo finally shook his head.
Anyway, my longevity is unlimited, and there is a lot of time, so it's over with one step at a time.
As he thought about it, he had come to a blacksmith's shop.
"Bang bang bang!"
The hammer and the fiery steel struck together, making a heart-shaking sound.
Each blow makes the steel tougher.
"Master Niu's iron-striking skills are really ingenious, don't say that this capital is the capital, even if you look at the world, it is also unique."
Xia Luo couldn't help but admire while watching the ox blacksmith striking iron.
This cattle blacksmith came to Kyoto about five years ago, and it took him two years to make his blacksmithing known throughout Kyoto.
And the Xia family often buys ironware here, and Xia Lu needs to run errands to get it, so he is still familiar with the cattle blacksmith.
When the blacksmith saw Xia Luo, he smiled as a standard honest man.
This cattle blacksmith came to Kyoto about five years ago, and it took him two years to make his blacksmithing known throughout Kyoto.
And the Xia family often buys ironware here, and Xia Lu needs to run errands to get it, so the original owner Wagyu blacksmith is still relatively familiar.
When the blacksmith saw Xia Luo, he smiled as a standard honest man.
"Brother Xia laughed, with such skills as mine, I have to eat with a mouthful of food, and I can't go to the hall of elegance."
After speaking, he took out a sword that shimmered with a sharp sword.
He picked up his sword and threw a piece of paper into the air, catching it in the direction of the blade.
As soon as the paper touched the blade of the sword, it was immediately cut in half.
After trying the sword, he handed the sword to Xia Lu, and then went back to work without saying a word.
"No one makes trouble in your blacksmith shop, and if it is quiet, then I won't disturb this quiet."
After holding the sword in his arms, Xia Luo said hello and turned to leave.
Looking at Xia Lu's departing back, the bull blacksmith's eyes flashed a trace of loneliness.
"I don't know if my small shop can have a few days of quiet......"
