Chapter 16 The second son of the Duke of Shu

Since Rokuro came, the three brothers ordered two more pots of wine.

I drank it until late at night.

Liulang and Xiaoqi were used to sleeping together when they were in the Holy Sect.

There's nothing wrong with huddles together now.

Liu Xin opened the attribute panel and saw the changes to the task panel about killing the Japanese Kou.

And what he mainly looked at was the extra task panel under the Rokuro attribute panel.

-----------------

[Task Name]: Tasks of Mentors and Disciples (1)

[Mission Details]: Rokuro's mission

[Mission Objective]: Revenge for Rokuro

[Current Progress]: 0%, complete the mission to get the full system reward*1

[Next node]: Ask the truth about what happened back then from Mei Yongxian, Liulang's stepmother.

Note: None

The task of the juniors?

And it's a...

Could it be that his own juniors and disciples will appear with many tasks, otherwise it is difficult to explain why there is one.

These disciples seem to have their own stories.

Liu Xin couldn't help but think of his junior disciples.

When they came to the mountain, they were all of unknown origin, which means that they most likely had a very deep background.

It's like Rokuro.

Once upon a time, Liu Xin never thought that he would be the son-in-law of the Linghu family, one of the eight great families of the rivers and lakes.

And it's the kind that comes with its own system tasks.

If you help Rokuro investigate what happened back then.

Rokuro may be able to become a ...... of the Linghu family

Head of the house!

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xin felt that his task priority had to be advanced.

Put it in the first place as it should be.

Help Rokuro become the head of the Linghu family.

In that case, you don't have to worry too much about Rokuro.

Alas, he, the elder brother, is really worried about the junior brothers.

Suddenly, Liu Xin's heart moved, wanting to look at other task panels, and then the task panel in front of him changed, Liu Xin was slightly stunned, and then looked intently.

-----------------

[Mission Name]: Lifetime Achievement Reward

[Mission Details]: The Japanese are the eternal enemies of the Central Plains, if you have the chance, be sure to clear them! Not a single person left!

[Next node]: 9990\/

Notice: None

[Reward Library]: Low-configuration version of the system reward*3 (four copies can be collected, and the reward can be exchanged for a full system reward)

Note: None

-----------------

Sure enough, it's a completed one.,It's a pity that I don't know if it's a causal kill.。

Forget it, don't bother about it, Liu Xin is going to try it again next time he meets the Japanese people.

It will be safer to let Fang Zihang make a move next time.

It's just that the current progress is only 10\/, and the degree of completion is only 10%.

If you want to get the system reward, there is a long way to go.

After opening the task panel, Liu Xin found that he could drag and drop the task panel, and there was a symbol in the lower right corner of the task panel:

3\/4

Liu Xin tried to control it with his mind, and sure enough, the task panel was changed.

-----------------

[Task Name]: The first stage of the combined task

[Mission Details]: Black Knife Gate Mission

[Mission Objective]: Unlock the secret of the destruction of the Black Knife Gate for Fang Zihang

[Current Progress]: Congratulations on completing the current node task, current progress: 50%, and you can get the full system reward*1 by completing the task

Notice: None

Note: None

-----------------

Liu Xin noticed that the symbol in the lower right corner became:

2\/4

It also means that there is another one, Liu Xin continued to mobilize his mind curiously.

There were a lot of tasks, and he almost forgot about it.

-----------------

[Mission Name]: Prologue Trial Quest of the South China Sea Rebellion

[Mission Details]: None

[Mission Objective]: Investigate the cause of the rebellion in the South China Sea

[Current Progress]: Congratulations on completing the current node task, current progress: 75%, complete a node to get the low-configuration version of the system reward*1

[Notice]: The system reward *1 of the low-configuration version has been distributed

[Note]: After this mission is completed, the South China Sea Rebellion Trial mission will be opened. Please complete it within 256 days remaining. If it cannot be completed within the specified time, the task will be automatically closed

-----------------

1\/4

Oh, and there's also a mission to investigate the chaos in the South China Sea.

Liu Xin almost forgot about this task and went to the clouds.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the South China Sea anymore, but because he pays too much attention to it, and Qin Guogong and others are also concerned, so Liu Xin has forgotten that he was suspicious of the South China Sea at the beginning, because of the relationship between the task panel.

The three missions, investigating the South China Sea Rebellion and investigating the Black Knife Gate, can be rewarded with a full version of the system after they are over.

This is also what Liu Xin is looking forward to the most.

Maybe from the full version of the system reward, you can produce a superb spear, which can be used by Rokuro.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin prayed sincerely.

He used to be an atheist, and now he is an occasional theist.

As long as this God can fulfill His desires, then one can believe.

After another half an hour, Liu Xin sorted out his thoughts and went to bed.

Tomorrow, go to Roselle Villa.

Earlier in the day, there were dark clouds in the sky, but there was no sign of rain.

Ling Hu Shicheng came to a wealthy compound in the inner city of Taiyuan City with an irritated face.

For the dark clouds overhead, the fox Shicheng had some palpitations inexplicably.

The thought of that waste made his mood worse and worse.

As soon as the two guards in front of the courtyard saw Linghu Shicheng, one of them immediately came up to greet him.

"Linghu Gongzi!"

"I'm looking for the little grandfather!"

"Okay, please come in, the villain will immediately inform the little grandfather."

Ling Hu Shicheng bowed slightly, and when he came here, he had to put away his pride, step into it, and follow the guards in front of him all the way in.

This palace-like mansion-like mansion is a wealthy compound, with guards holding swords and armor at the door, and a deep-walled compound inside, which is not something ordinary people can have.

And when the figure of Ling Hu Shicheng disappeared from the field of vision at the gate, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, a hole was broken in the clouds, and a ray of dazzling sunlight sprinkled down, falling right in front of this wealthy compound.

Shu State Mansion!

A gold-lettered plaque reflects a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

Duke of Shu, the younger brother of the current queen Liu.

During the period of Emperor Wuyang, after the Restoration of the Fathers.

Today's Duke of Shu is a first-class prince in Zhengyang.

Its power is even stronger than that of ordinary princes.

is not only the governor of the five armies and the governor of the western army, but also the governor of Sichuan Province.

In the entire Zhengyang West, it is the existence of the emperor and above the ten thousand people.

The ancestral land of the Linghu family is also among the governors of Sichuan, so the relationship with the Duke of Shu has always been good.

Although the Duke of Shu is dissolute and uninhibited by nature, he has only two heirs under his knees.

Among them is the second son who now lives in the Shu State Mansion in Taiyuan City, Liu Xin.

Liu Xin...... Liu Xin, the difference of one word.

"Brother Sanjin!"

Linghu Shicheng walked all the way in, crossed more than a dozen thresholds, and finally came to the back garden where the second son of the Duke of Shu was located.

What catches your eye is a vast and gorgeous landscape.

An ornate marble garden gate guards the entrance to the garden, carved with meticulous patterns and delicate patterns, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Stepping into the garden, you will be greeted by a sea of greenery, with thousand-year-old trees shading the sky and the tall and dense trees gently swaying in the breeze, giving people a sense of coolness and tranquility.

Bestowed by the emperor, the carpet-like green lawn of foreign tribute stretched into the distance, as soft and delicate as fluff.

Around the lawn, the glazed tile paths weave like spider webs, shining brightly.

There are all kinds of flowers planted on the roadside, and the colorful colors give people a bright feeling.

The pool here is the highlight of the garden.

The vast stone pool, with ornate ornamentation carved on the edges, is gently rippling like a mirror as the clear water laps against the stone bank.

In the center of the pool, an elaborate sculptural fountain is filled with mist and flowers, and bronze angels shimmer mysteriously in the sun.

The pavilion is another luxury in the garden. The ingenious architectural structure is complemented by exquisite ornaments.

The mahogany cornices are uplifted with cinnabar-coloured tiles, and the ornate pillars are carved with lifelike patterns.

The pavilion is surrounded by colorful silk silks, creating a warm atmosphere.

The seats are covered with brocade cushions, which are soft and comfortable, allowing people to rest to their heart's content.

At this moment, a young man in a luxurious costume was lying on that seat.

Looking at the luxurious back garden in front of him, he was envious in his heart.

This is the boy who was born with a golden soup spoon.

He can barely be regarded as a child of a family, but he is too far behind compared to the other party.

The noble young man in the pavilion in the distance heard Linghu Shicheng's shout, and did not get up, but just turned his head to look over, and then raised his hand and shook it.

Liu Xin, the second son of the Duke of Shu, is tall, well-proportioned, and has a good appearance.

He was dressed in a splendid robe, and the robe was embroidered with a phoenix bird composed of gold and silver threads.

Wear a jade pendant around your waist and step on cloud shoes.

In addition, he wears a sapphire hat that is extremely sassy.

This hat alone may be enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for a lifetime.

"Brother Linghu, what do you think of me?

This is the most popular costume in the western region right now.

Of course, this is the top version of me, and this body is 20,000 taels! ”

“……”

Ling Hu Shicheng pouted quietly.

Twenty thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a set of imperial armor.

And on the other party's body, it is just a set of useless clothes.

However, the other party does not lack any exquisite weapons and exquisite armor.

The Duke of Shu loved his two sons the most, and equipped them with a full set of exquisite equipment.

Including weapons, armor, and even rumored to be more precious Exquisite Inner Armor!

Such a casual set of equipment is at least millions of taels of silver!

That's right, the value of the exquisite equipment is at least ten times higher than the top-of-the-line imperial equipment!

"Brother Sanjin, you are still as sassy as ever, you are really envious of the world, I can't be so extraordinary as Brother Sanjin!"

It's actually a bit out of place to say this to the second son of Shu Guogong, but this second son likes to speak like this.

Sure enough, the second son laughed.

"Brother Linghu came to me today, there must be something, right?

Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Brother Linghu came to Taiyuan City, but he hasn't come to me for a long time. ”

Hearing the words of the second son, Ling Hu Shicheng's face changed slightly.

The relationship between the two of them dates back to childhood.

The relationship is neither good nor bad.

The main reason is that there is no hope for the second prince to attack the lord.

Therefore, the Linghu family mainly focused on the prince's body.

Although the Duke of Shu treats the prince and the second son equally, the two brothers who should have been divided equally.

But after all, the identity of having a son and not having a son are completely different.

Although the second son hasn't said anything over the years, his heart must be like a mirror.

"This time, there are indeed some things to ask Brother Sanjin.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the friendship between the two of us.

Mainly, if Brother Sanjin helps me with this, maybe you can go back to Chengdu Mansion from Taiyuan City. ”

The second son narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Of course, he wouldn't think that Linghu Shicheng was teasing him.

The other party didn't have to do this, and he couldn't afford to tease him.

Now in his mansion.

The two are also only lip service.

He wasn't afraid that Ling Hu Shicheng would be able to get any of his handles.

So he asked with a smile.

"Brother Linghu said, what is the matter?

We're small, and brothers don't talk about those vain things. ”

Ling Hu Shicheng's face softened, these sons and daughters were full of snatching the family property one by one, so it was easy to take care of them.

He smiled and told the second son everything that had happened in the past few days.

Even the matter of Kun Lizong was not hidden.

After listening to this, the second son's face finally became solemn, and his body no longer collapsed on the soft couch like before.

"Brother Linghu didn't expect that your Linghu family's methods would be capable.

I'll help you this time! ”

The second son smiled, and his body went limp again.

Ling Hu Shicheng saw his appearance, from childhood to adulthood, so that Ling Hu Shicheng was familiar with and understood him.

Then he knew that this boy was going to open his mouth widely.

"Brother Sanjin, what conditions can you put forward directly now."

"Refreshing!"

The second son laughed, then got up and slapped the table and said:

"If you want to earn treasures, you have to earn as much as possible.

But up front, you've always known my appetite. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ling Hu Shicheng's face did not change, and said that because he had obtained his mother's approval before leaving.

This time may be an opportunity for the fox family to take off again.

And if he can take the lead in completing this matter, then his position in the Linghu family will become extremely stable.

The most important thing is that once his position is secured, then that waste will not have any impact on him regardless of life or death.

That's what really motivated him to do it.

Seeing that Linghu Shicheng was so happy, the second son was a little hesitant.

However, he has the big tree of Shu Guogong behind him, and he is completely unafraid of the forces of the rivers and lakes, even if it is Emperor Wu City......

Well, if it was Emperor Wu City, he might still have a little bit of jealousy.

But it's just Kun Lizong, a subordinate of Emperor Wu City, and the second prince doesn't take him seriously at all.

"What I want this time is also very simple, you must have rubbed the formation catalog.

I want two copies, one for my father! ”

"No problem!"

Linghu Shicheng replied very simply, because they had already thought about this condition, even if the other party didn't want it, he would try his best to give the other party a copy.

"In addition, I will send someone to help you participate in the negotiations with the Kun Li Sect.

Half of the benefits we get! ”

Ling Hu Shicheng's eyes shrank, he thought that the second son would open his mouth widely, but he didn't expect the other party's mouth to open so wide.

Half of the family here is not the Linghu family and the Duke of Shu, but the Linghu family and his second son.

If it is said that it is half of the family of Shu Guogong, then the Linghu family has nothing to say.

But you're just a second son.

Even the prince doesn't have much authority.

To put it bluntly, the Linghu family came to find the second prince just to borrow the tiger skin of the Duke of Shu.

"It's okay, you think slowly, I have a third condition!"

"Huh?"

"The young martial artist you said took out the Kun Li Sect Formation Catalog, I will be responsible for helping you check his details, but everything I find, whether it is a person or a treasure, must belong to me!

Of course, if there are some exercises, formation catalogues and the like, I will also rub a copy to you! ”

After hearing this. Linghu Shicheng in front of the second prince has been petrified.

He wanted to retract what he had just thought.

The second son is no longer a lion's mouth.

He is not enough to swallow elephants!

"If Brother Linghu doesn't have the right to decide, it's better to go back to your aunt and ask for clarification before coming back."

The second son's words directly stung Linghu Shicheng.

There has always been a label on his body, which has never been able to be removed, and may not be able to be removed after a long time.

That is, everything he does depends on his mother.

In fact, he has been very uncomfortable with this matter all along.

But there is nothing you can do to change it, because that's what it is.

And once upon a time, he saw that as his natural strength.

Ordinary people want such a mother, but they can't ask for it.

However, in the face of the second son who grew up together, Ling Hu Shicheng was already a little ashamed in front of him.

He has never been a very confident person.

Now the second son is using this matter to provoke him.

It's unbearable, so that the fox can't bear it!

"I can call the shots, I promise you!"

Ling Hu Shicheng replied with a resolute face.

Fortunately, his mother had told him before he went out, and this time he was solely responsible for the matter.

Even if he didn't benefit the fox family at all, his mother would be able to accept it.

It is because of this delegation of power that he can truly enjoy the authority to become the head of the house for once.

At this moment, some kind of shackle on his body seemed to be opened.

The second prince looked at Linghu Shicheng, who suddenly had a huge change in momentum in front of him.

My heart fluttered.

Characters like the second son of the Shu State family have received the most from childhood not martial arts or literary talents, but political education.

For politics, they have a unique talent and nurture from childhood to adulthood.

Therefore, he could feel this change in Ling Hu Shicheng's body.

"It seems to be the aunt. What has been done to make such a change happen.

Thinking about this time, that aunt gave full authority to Brother Linghu to preside.

But that's fine, it's cheap! ”
