A few days later, Liu Anran and his family hurried back to Kyoto before the first seven.

At night, in the gazebo of the summer garden.

Liu Anran sat down on the chair and kept hammering his shoulder.

"Along the way, I almost didn't get tired to death."

"Hahaha, after so many days of jolting in the carriage, can you not get tired?"

The last time he went to send Xia Sichou, as a martial artist in the innate realm, he couldn't withstand such bumps.

Xia Luo said as he filled the bowl with wine.

The two of them drank wine and chatted about the past.

mentioned that Liu Anran was locked up in a small black house by his wife because of visiting the Qinglou, and he couldn't help laughing.

People are like this when they reach middle age, and they always miss the things of their youth.

"By the way? What about Xia Sichou's kid? Didn't tell me a word about getting married? ”

He ...... I sent him away. ”

"Sent away?"

"Well, ...... before"

After listening to Xia Luo's speech, Liu Anran shook his head.

"This is even more magical than the story you told before, I said how the plaque in front of the house became the palace of the King of Sanssouci, and I thought I was in the wrong place."

"Okay, don't talk about that, tell me how your job is, why hasn't it changed for five years?"

"How to say it, the situation in my place is more complicated, before I came, the two families in the county controlled the entire county, and they fished the people all day long.

It took me six years to eradicate these two great families, and if I were gone, there would definitely be new big families there that would continue to prey on the people.

There are tens of thousands of lives in a county, can I go? ”

Although Liu Anran did not say how he eradicated the two major families, Xia Luo could imagine how difficult it was to fight with this kind of land snake.

"I didn't expect that you are such a person who understands righteousness, and you will not be promoted for the sake of the people!"

"It's not all, in fact, my place is relatively rich, and I can't control it above, I'm the emperor of the soil there, and you won't leave if you want to."

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Xia Luo, as if to say, "You know".

"You eradicate the two major families, it won't be because they are robbing you for money, right?"

"Huh! What are you talking about? The matter of the county order, can the matter of the county order be called a robbery of money? ”

Well, this is the Liu Anran that Xia Luo knows.

After Xia Chang's first seven days, Liu Anran also left.

As he said, although he is not a good official himself.

But in this dynasty where hundreds of officials are worse than each other, he is a good official.

And the people of Lushui County need such a good official.

After saying goodbye to Liu Anran, Xia Xiangwu came up again.

"Brother, didn't you say before that you would find a way to help me become the head of the family? Do you have a solution? ”

Xia Luo patted Xia Xiangwu on the shoulder.

"Now the head of the family on the bright side is Xia Xiangwen, if you want to be the head of the family, you must want to be righteous!

I don't want to spend some time on this, and seriously think of one for you? ”

Seeing Xia Lu like this, Xia Xiangwu smiled innocently.

"Okay old brother, I'll wait for you!"

"Hey, I don't have enough brains lately, if I can have a hundred and eighty taels of silver and buy some supplements, maybe I can think faster......"

"It's just a little silver, just leave it to me!"

……

Thirty-eighth year of the red kite, June.

There was friction between the southern barbarians and the border of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

In November of the same year, a general in thin clothes and several soldiers knelt under the palace for three days and three nights.

The people of Kyoto are rumoring that the general is selling miserably, in order to cheat money from the imperial court.

Three days later, the unconscious general was taken away by a group of men in black, and he never heard about the general again.

Coincidentally, when Xia Luo was eating in the tavern, he heard people gossiping, saying that the southern border had long been a great enemy, but the current emperor was still sick.

Looking at the cloudy sky outside, Xia Luo couldn't help but sigh.

"Even if the sun doesn't go down, it's possible that it will be obscured by dark clouds, and if it goes down in the dark clouds, who knows?"

But he didn't care, just smiled.

In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and I have come to the thirty-ninth year of the red kite.

One afternoon, Xia Luo, who was meditating, opened his eyes, and all the objects around him floated out of thin air, and then fell again.

He had finally broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, several years later than he had imagined.

"I didn't expect that there was such a big gap between the innate and the grandmaster, I really don't know how those who cultivate ordinary exercises can break through this realm."

And even if you cultivate this magic skill, it is unlikely that you will be able to break through to the grandmaster.

Because he doesn't care about his longevity, he can cultivate without any moderation.

If other people who had cultivated this magic skill had cultivated according to his method, they would have died a long time ago.

Feeling the power in his body, he estimated that he was also the top combat power in the mortal world.

He pulled out a box from under the bed, containing a large amount of rune paper.

These are all paintings he has painted over the years, and he has not counted how many he has painted now, and he can't count them anyway.

He took out a piece of talisman paper, felt the energy contained in it, and forcibly urged it.

The next second, the talisman spontaneously combusted, but nothing happened.

It seems that the internal strength of the warrior still cannot be compared with the spiritual power of the monk......

After a sigh, he shook his head.

It's not about internal strength, it's just that his strength is too weak.

If you can go to the next level and reach the level of aura with the quality of your internal force, you may be able to use rune paper.

A few days after Xia Lu cultivated to the grandmaster, the emperor who was sick and didn't know how many years had no news actually made a prince.

It's nothing if it's just like this, the key is that this prince is only nine years old!

The current emperor, that is, the Red Kite Emperor, does not mean that there are no heirs, or that there is no suitable person to set up a prince.

But he made a nine-year-old man the crown prince.

This is intriguing.

Not to mention Xia Luo is such a traverser, even ordinary people realize that things are not quite right.

"If in a few days, he dies carelessly, will it be possible to let a nine-year-old child become the emperor?"

In the winery, a young man in a short shirt said this coldly after drinking, causing everyone present to laugh.

Xia Luo didn't laugh, but thought about things.

The fact that this young man dared to say such things in public not only meant that the people were dissatisfied with the emperor's approach.

It also means that the authority of the royal family has fallen to freezing point.

In the afternoon of the same day, the man who had been speaking wild words inside the winery was taken away.

Whether he will come back in the future, Xia Luo doesn't know, but what he said has come true.

Within a few days of the new crown prince, the emperor fell ill and died, and the nine-year-old emperor ascended the throne.

For this new emperor, Xia Luo was not cold at all, but just lightly spit out two words.

"Puppet."

It was only later that Xia Luo learned that the new emperor's mother was the granddaughter of Zuo Zhongyi, who almost ruined the Xia family.

Although Zuo Zhongyi is dead, and the current prime minister is not the Zuo family, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have actually been firmly controlled by the Zuo family.
