Chapter 80: Why Fear?
The Xu family in Yicheng, in the eyes of many people, is an unattainable cunzài, and this surname is now the most noble surname in the entire country except for the royal family.
The reason is not just that the Xu family has a colt.
Of course, that horse master did win the trust of Emperor Wei, not only married Emperor Wei's only daughter, but also held power above the court, and was able to lead troops to guard the court, which is the real real power!
But if there is only one concubine, the Xu family is not a real wealthy family, and it is impossible to become the most feared existence of the country, not to mention anything else, just now the prime minister of the country, Hua Yifu, is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his background is not known to be much deeper than that of the concubine, but in front of the Xu family, Hua Lao can only avoid its edge.
The root cause is that the Xu family has a demi-saint.
And it is the first half-saint of the Patriotic Nation!
Known as the invincible head of the Xu family below the Holy Rank, Xu Huanzhi!
Xu Huanzhi's rise to prominence has a strong legend, it is said that when he was in his forties, he was only a scholar, but when he heard about it, he crossed the six ranks of Gongsheng, Waiter, Yushu, Hanlin, Bachelor, and University Scholar, and became a half-saint in one day!
Just when people thought that the strong man of the patriotic generation was born and would sweep all directions, Xu Huanzhi was silent for ten years again. In the past ten years, no one has heard half of the news about him, and even makes people think that he died in an unknown place.
But who would have thought that ten years later, Xu Huanzhi would be reborn, and this time, he has become the first half-saint of the country!
What is a legend?
On that day, Emperor Wei issued an edict and specially named him a half-saint of the town, which shocked the whole world!
You must know that the title of "Zhenguo" is not something that can be obtained casually, theoretically speaking, the ninth order of the Holy Dao, each rank of the Wen Rank, only one person can obtain the title of "Zhenguo"!
This is the custom rule of the ten kingdoms of the human race, and it represents the highest honor for the strong in the secular world!
The person who can win the title of "Zhenguo" must be a person who has made extremely outstanding contributions to the country.
But this Xu Huanzhi, who has no military merits and no national honors, why was he named Zhenguo?
What's more, the title of Zhenguo, the more high-level people with literary positions are more difficult to obtain, let me ask, who can achieve semi-saints, which one is not a brilliant and glamorous person? The so-called literati are light, but it is not for fun, rashly appointing one of them as a half-saint of Zhenguo, if one is not good, it may cause turmoil in the whole country!
Therefore, in the past hundred years of the Holy Dao of Defending the Country, there has only been one Zhenguo University scholar at the highest, Wang Yangming!
But Emperor Wei just gave this title to Xu Huanzhi so lightly, and what shocked the other nine countries even more was that other half-saints such as Bai Jianqiu and Lu Sanjiao did not have the slightest objection, so they recognized Xu Huanzhi's status.
Since then, the Xu family has become the most shining family in the entire patriotic country.
If it weren't for the rebellion more than ten years ago, the Xu family was determined to have played a very disgraceful role in it, and Xu Ling was relegated to Linchuan City as a criminal, perhaps the power of the Xu family today is even more jaw-dropping.
The first family under the royal family is by no means in vain.
It is rumored that a large part of the reason why Xu Ling was exiled to Linchuan City was because Xu Huanzhi, the head of the Xu family, was in retreat again, which should be preparing for the final attack on the holy throne.
If Wei Guo can really produce another Holy Rank, how can he be oppressed by other countries again, and even a small country like Yan Guo that has no academy to guard it dares to invade the country?
It is precisely in consideration of this factor that even if Xu Ling was demoted, he still served as a garrison general in Linchuan City, which also shows that the Xu family is powerful, and even Emperor Wei has to look at Xu Huanzhi's face and retreat half a step!
On that day, after Yin Wuxian knew that Xu Ling had escaped, he couldn't wait to let Su Wen leave Linchuan City, because he was worried that the Xu family would hack Su Wen, and as for Xu Huan's matter, Yin Wuxian didn't dare to mention it to Su Wen, otherwise, Su Wen would not be able to shake Wen's heart lightly, if he was terrified all day long, where could he still be admitted to the state examination?
Only when the state examination is on the list and is admitted to the academy can Su Wen really get rid of the entanglement of the Xu family.
Because the academy has a half-saint guard, and there is also a tea saint Lu Yu in person!
And the most important thing is that on the matter of Xu Yi's death and Xu Ling's abolition that day, Su Wen took the absolute reason, and what the academy recognized was the truth!
Not to mention that Xu Huanzhi failed to become a saint, even if he really broke out of the retreat, he would never dare to make a move against the academy.
The academy is the real foundation of defending the country!
But even so, today's Su Wen has not yet become an official disciple of the academy, and it is too simple for the Xu family to want to do something to him, so under such circumstances, Mrs. Lin dares to say something like "What is the Xu family", what is her justification?
Moreover, even the big boss of Jinfeng Tower, Lin Qi, did not hesitate to stand on Mrs. Lin's side after hearing these words!
This situation is really unbelievable......
At this time, Mrs. Lin had already returned to Liu Yan Pavilion, and at the same time brought news from Lin Qi to Su Wen.
"Xu Yu, is that the boy who sat next to Bai Fei'er that day?" Su Wen frowned, this news was reasonable, but it was also unexpected by him.
Mrs. Lin nodded and added: "This Xu Yu is not a big person, not a descendant of the Xu family, speaking of which, he is Xu Yi's cousin, and the news of Su Gongzi's presence in Huizhou Mansion did not return to Yicheng so quickly, so it should be that this Xu Yu happened to be in the neighboring city, and after hearing about Gongzi, he wanted to grab credit before others, so he came to the state capital first." ”
When Su Wen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at this time, he didn't know that in the eyes of Mrs. Lin, the entire Xu family was nothing, not to mention a side branch of the Xu family?
He was just glad that it wasn't that the horse master had already sent someone to kill him, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with a Xu Delirium.
"In this way, the so-called Narcissus Girl's farewell party is this little action made by Xu Delirium?"
Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I'm not sure about this, but for the sake of caution, it's better not to go to Master Su." Mrs. Lin was earnest, thinking that even if it was just a side branch of the Xu family, after all, the surname Xu was just a Su Wen, of course, if you can avoid a head-on conflict, it is better not to clash head-on.
But Su Wen just smiled and said, "It's just a little Xu Delirium, why be afraid? If I'm scared now, then if the horse master comes to the door in the future, won't I have to die in the world?"
After a pause, a trace of coldness gradually appeared on Su Wen's face, and he continued: "Besides, it's good that such villains have jumped out now, otherwise hiding behind them all the time is the most worrying thing, as long as he dares to come, I dare to go, as long as he dares to die, I dare to kill!"
Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and she wanted to speak again.
Su Wen smiled faintly: "Besides, I can't find anyone to settle the accounts of the last Oiran Competition, if he is caught by me this time, don't think about it anymore!"
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment, not knowing whether she was really moved by Su Wen's words, or if she had other confidence, and nodded at the moment: "Since Su Gongzi has decided, then I will accompany Su Gongzi on a journey!"
Autumn leaves just kept smiling beside him, and said indifferently: "Autumn leaves should also go with you." ”
Su Wen had a bottom in his heart, so he naturally no longer had scruples, and after returning to Lin Huaju, he studied and practiced chess as usual, as if nothing had happened.
And a day later, the news that Narcissus was about to withdraw from Wanhualou finally spread throughout Huizhou Mansion, but there were not many people invited to his farewell party at that time, almost all of them were people with literary status, including some high-rollers who had a soft spot for Narcissus in the past.
Although Narcissus's performance at the Oiran Contest that day disappointed many people, but now it is precisely because of this incident that Narcissus retired early, which also aroused the sympathy of many people, so many celebrities have also expressed their willingness to go to the show.
On the night of the farewell party, including Narcissus himself, the Oiran of the four buildings arrived, and some girls who had old days with Narcissus also came to see them off, among which the appearance of Autumn Leaves ignited the passion of the venue in advance, but considering that today's protagonist is Narcissus, Autumn Leaves also appeared in a very low-key manner, and hid in the private room on the side, and never showed up again.
Su Wen came with Qiu Ye and Mrs. Lin, and he didn't bring Tang Ji and Su Yu today, because he was afraid that Xu Yu would do whatever it took to kill him, and if he really used the means of assassination, Su Wen was worried about the safety of the two.
This night, Su Wen deliberately brought the Cold Moon Sword.
Sitting in the private room, Su Wen had been observing the crowd in the venue, trying to find out Xu Yu's figure from it, but what made him a little disappointed was that until the last moment before the farewell party began, the handsome boy did not appear.
"Could it be that I'm worrying about the sky?" Su Wen frowned secretly, feeling a little pity.
Mrs. Lin on the side took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better if it wasn't Xu Yu?
Mrs. Lin's unintentional words suddenly made Su Wen's heart burst out, and he faintly thought of a possibility!
If that's the case, things get tricky......
Before Su Wen could think about it, he heard a burst of cheers suddenly erupt in the venue, and then looked at the stage in front of him, the four golden flowers of Wanhualou were arranged in a line, and they came one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for you to come today, thank you for your support, and thank you for your love for Narcissus, I hope you can have a good time tonight. ”
"Next, please allow our four sisters to present a Mozara to everyone!"
Peony's voice fell, and immediately aroused bursts of applause, which also means that this farewell party has kicked off.
And at this moment, Xu Yu, who Su Wen was waiting for, still did not appear......
