"Liu Zhi?"

Lu Fan recognized the young man and was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

Since the other party is so high-profile, he is naturally not afraid of him saying his name.

Besides, this is in the capital, and there must be many people who know Liu Zhi.

The little bond between Liu Zhi and the Black Tiger Gang has long since disappeared with the collapse of the Black Tiger Gang's rudder.

"I'm coming to see you."

Liu Zhi smiled: "By the way, I invite you to be a guest at home." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan did not hesitate, this is something he had promised Liu Zhi a long time ago.

The other party came to invite him in person, and he had no reason to refuse.

He looked back at Ye Wuchen, "I won't accompany you shopping, you can help me talk to the Lord Commander again, and say that I will be a guest at a friend's house." ”

"Okay."

Ye Wuchen was looking at Liu Zhi and nodded when he heard the words.

"Let's go."

Liu Zhi didn't look at anyone, his eyes were always on Lu Fan.

He pointed to the carriage with his finger and smiled, "Get in the carriage." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan and Liu Zhi got into the carriage together.

Liu Zhi's entourage got into a few other carriages.

"Drive!"

The whip in the hand of the young man waved lightly, and the golden carriage galloped away.

"What a drag!"

"Is this the son of the Liu family?"

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the first family in the capital!"

"But who is the person invited by Liu Gongzi?"

"It's got to be a big shot!"

"Otherwise, how could Liu Gongzi be so polite?"

"yes."

"There are still such characters in the world? Can you even let Liu Gongzi personally invite him? ”

The onlookers let out bursts of exclamation and discussion.

Listening to Qin Yu and the others, it was like thunder, exploding in their ears.

Of course, they knew about the Liu family, and they had also heard of Liu Zhi.

I didn't expect that the most famous gentleman in the capital actually knew Lu Fan?

How can it be?

How can two people who can't be beaten by eight poles come together and have such a good relationship?

What about a good relationship?

Liu Zhi was also too good to Lu Fan, and he actually came to invite him personally.

Is this really Liu Zhi?

How is it different from what they have heard?

People who have always been above the top and can't be looked down on by anyone will have such a day?

How did Lu Fan do it?

Seeing the carriage disappear, several people looked at each other a few times, and they all saw the surprise and deep puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Even Qin Yu was no exception.

Only Ye Wuchen was still calm, he already knew the relationship between Lu Fan and Liu Zhi, and he was just suspicious of it.

But today, what he saw with his own eyes still surprised him a little.

Liu Zhi really treated Lu Fan very well and treated him as his best friend.

Moreover, it is from the heart, and there is no half-truth.

This Lu Fan is not obvious, but he is really popular!

It seems that his vision is right, and his choice is right!

……

……

"Drive!"

Several carriages opened the way in front, the golden carriage was guarded in the middle, and several carriages followed.

In total, there were seven or eight wagons, forming a small convoy.

The convoy passed through the downtown area and into the Imperial City.

The imperial city was a place where princes and nobles lived, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter even if they wanted to.

But Liu Zhi's carriage can rampage in the imperial city, which shows the power of the Liu family.

Inside the Imperial Castle is Miyagi.

However, even the Liu family can only live in the imperial city, not the palace city.

Just because Miyagi is a place where the imperial family lives.

Even if the Liu family, as a relative, cannot live in Miyagi.

This is still the case when Da Zhou's precautions against foreign relatives are not too strict.

"Phew!"

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion, and Lu Fan and Liu Zhi got out of the carriage.

"Brother Lu, please."

"Okay."

The two entered the Liufu Mansion, passed through several courtyards, and came to a separate small courtyard.

"This is my residence, Brother Lu, please come in."

"Hmm."

After entering the house, they came to the living room, and the two sat opposite each other.

The maid came over and poured tea.

Liu Zhi waved his hand, "Let's all step aside." ”

"Yes."

And they all withdrew.

Only Lu Fan and Liu Zhi were left in the living room.

"Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are very different from before."

Liu Zhi smiled: "You have grown taller, you have become stronger, and more importantly, your whole person has become more introverted, and people who don't know you can't see that you are a hidden master." ”

"What kind of master am I?"

Lu Fan shook his head slightly.

"Don't hide it from me."

Liu Zhi smiled, "I've heard about a few big things you've done recently. I also know that your current cultivation is at least the fourth grade, which is much stronger than mine. ”

"Don't praise me anymore, I'm afraid I'll float."

Lu Fan made a joke.

But there is also some truth.

He's heard too much praise lately, and it's all about him from people with weight.

This made him vigilant, and warned himself in his heart that he must not float, let alone get carried away.

It is still the same as before, not to relax, and not to be lazy.

Keep up the hard work!

"Haha."

Liu Zhi laughed, "If you can say this, it means that you are very sober and will not be affected by others at all." ”

"By the way, how are you?"

Lu Fan asked, "After you came back, your parents didn't say anything about you, did they?" ”

"Nope."

Liu Zhi smiled: "My parents not only didn't talk about me, but treated me better than before, and they didn't force me too much even about marriage." ”

"Oh."

Lu Fan nodded, "It seems that they are worried that they are forcing you into a hurry." ”

"yes."

Liu Zhi sighed: "However, it's not a matter to drag it out like this, if the marriage contract is not dissolved for a day, my heart will be restless for a day." ”

"Do you have a good idea?"

Lu Fan asked.

"There is a way."

Liu Zhi shook his head slightly, "There is just no good candidate." ”

"Candidates?"

Lu Fan's heart suddenly moved, could it be ......

"I don't hide it from Brother Lu, when I was very young, my parents made a marriage contract for me."

Liu Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Her surname is Wu, her name is Wu Lingzhao, and she is one year younger than me. ”

"The martial arts family is also extremely powerful in the capital, and it can be regarded as a good match for our Liu family."

"Moreover, the relationship between our two families is very good, and we usually move around."

"Wu Lingzhao and I have known each other since childhood, grew up together, and played together."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhi sighed lightly, "We are actually very familiar with each other, and we have a good relationship, so we can play together." ”

"Then you're going to run away from marriage?"

Lu Fan was very puzzled, "Aren't you two little guesses, childhood sweethearts?" Where to find such a marriage? Isn't she good-looking? ”

"He's very good-looking."

Liu Zhi put down the teacup and said, "Even in the capital, she is one of the best beauties!" ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was even more surprised, "Then you have no reason to run away from marriage." ”

"But we know each other so well that I've always treated her as a sister."

Liu Zhi said: "When I think that she will become my wife, I will resist in my heart. Besides, I don't like her. She's not what I thought my wife would be. ”

"You, you are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings."

Lu Fan persuaded: "A marriage like this is really hard to find. The two of you grew up together, and the relationship must be deep, even if it is brother and sister, it doesn't matter, anyway, they will be family members in the future, just get along as relatives. ”

"Perhaps."

Liu Zhi has her own thoughts, "Anyway, it's impossible for me to marry her, in fact, she may not want to marry me, but I haven't found my crush yet, and she's the same, I haven't found someone who can secretly promise her." ”

"If such a person appears, with her temperament, maybe she will also make trouble with the family and ask for the dissolution of the marriage contract."

"But unfortunately, ideas are ideas after all, and it is difficult to implement."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhi raised his head and glanced at Lu Fan, "After all, her vision is extremely high, and the man she can fancy can't be found in the entire capital." ”

"That's right."

Hearing this, Lu Fan somewhat understood.

It seems that the woman named Wu Lingzhao also dares to love and hate, and is even a little rebellious.

Liu Zhi came to him today, does it have a deeper meaning?

Could it be that he is the person Liu Zhi said?

Probably not.

With the other party's family background, how can he fall in love with him?

The two were talking, and the sound of light footsteps rang out.

Lu Fan looked back and saw a young girl walk into the living room.

She looked sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in white and dressed, with a very beautiful face, but with a little coldness.

There is a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Of course, this is only scratching the surface.

Lu Fan knew in his heart that judging a person based on his appearance alone was not objective.

Some people are cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It seems indifferent, but in fact, it is kind in its heart, and even a little sensitive and fragile.

The so-called indifference is nothing more than a disguise for oneself, and it is also to protect one's fragile heart.

And some people seem to be enthusiastic, but they may not be sincere.

Maybe it's just a perfunctory hypocrisy.

It's hard to really get to know a person.

Because many people will be deceived by the illusion of other people's appearances, and thus lose their true judgment.

"Sixth sister? How did you get back! ”

Liu Zhi exclaimed in surprise and got up to greet him.

The sound was full of surprise.

Lu Fan remembered, Liu Zhi's sixth sister seems to be called Liu Mei?

Seventeen years old this year?

Is he a closed disciple of the head of the Nebula Sect?

A year ago, it had reached the third grade of cultivation, and now it may be the second grade, right?

"I heard that there was a lot to see in the capital, so I went home to live for a while."

Liu Mei looked at his younger brother, and there was a little more doting in his eyes.

"Sixth sister, you come."

Liu Zhi tugged on his sister's sleeve, came to Lu Fan, and introduced with a smile: "This is the Lu Fan I mentioned to you, my best friend." ”

Out of politeness, Lu Fan stood up and nodded slightly at Liu Mei.

"Oh."

Liu Mei glanced at Lu Fan, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

However, she also nodded at Lu Fan, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Sister, you sit."

Liu Zhi smiled: "Let's talk together." ”

"I'm just here to see you, and since you have guests, I won't sit down."

Liu Mei was about to turn around as she spoke, "Anyway, I have to live at home for a long time, so we have time to talk." ”

"That's not right, sister."

Liu Zhi came back to his senses, "When did you like to watch the excitement too?" I'm afraid you're coming back to find someone to compete, right? ”

"That's right."

Liu Mei said: "I heard that the Dragon Shadow Guard is going to have a big competition, and when they decide the strongest person, I will challenge that person to see who is more powerful?" ”

"You've got to be better."

Liu Zhi smiled: "Is this still worth comparing? ”

"Humph!"

Liu Mei suddenly snorted coldly, as if he was angry in his heart, "Who asked Long Yingwei to only accept men?" I just want the world to see that I'm no worse than those stinky men. ”

"Sister."

Liu Zhi scratched his head, "You even scolded me together." ”

"Poof!"

Liu Mei couldn't hold back a laugh, and glanced at his younger brother, "You're not a stinky man." ”

"What about him?"

Liu Zhi pointed at Lu Fan, "He is Long Yingwei, and he is likely to take the first place." ”

"Really?"

Liu Mei glanced at Lu Fan a few times, "Then wait until he takes the first place." ”

With that, she turned and left.

"Brother Lu, don't be weird."

Liu Zhi looked at Lu Fan with a little apology, "My sister has this temper, before she gets her approval, she is cold, which makes it difficult for people to get close." ”

"Actually, I am the same."

Liu Zhi laughed at himself, "However, I don't have my sister's strength." ”

"What kind of strength is your sister?"

Lu Fan was a little curious.

"Second grade."

Liu Zhi didn't hide it, and said: "My sister has always been arrogant, and there are few people in this world who can make her look at her, but Brother Lu, don't worry, as long as my sister knows more about you, she will definitely treat you differently." ”

"Not really."

Lu Fan knew very well in his heart that it was normal for a child of a family like Liu Zhi to be a little arrogant.

It's not normal to be arrogant.

Even if Ye Wuchen is untouchable, he seems to be approachable.

But that's just the surface.

In fact, he is also very proud in his heart.

Including Ye Qingyun, she looks like a very shy little girl, but she must be very arrogant in her heart.

However, what exactly does Liu Zhi mean?

One will talk about Wu Lingzhao, and the other will say that Liu Mei will treat him differently.

Is this treating him as a master key?

Match the lock?

"Why not?"

Liu Zhi said: "My sister is good, after a long time, you will know that she is cold and hot-hearted, very simple, and easy to get along with." Moreover, she is still a martial arts idiot, and she only knows how to cultivate martial arts and will not behave in the world, so you must not be surprised. ”

"Your sister didn't do anything to me either."

Lu Fan was amused, "How could I blame her?" ”

"You're still generous."

Liu Zhi praised and said, "If you were someone else, you would definitely be angry if you were snubbed by my sister." ”

"I don't know your sister, it's normal for her to have this attitude towards me."

Lu Fan said: "Actually, I'm the same, and I'm too lazy to be perfunctory for people who don't approve. ”

"I knew you and my sister were the same kind of people."

Liu Zhi smiled: "I also heard that you are also a martial arts idiot, you know cultivation every day, in fact, you and my sister have some common language." ”

"Huh?"

The more Lu Fan listened, the more wrong he became.

Liu Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that he wants to shorten the distance between him and Liu Mei.

What exactly is to be done?

Is it really what he thinks?

Impossible, right?

What about Wu Lingzhao?

Killing two birds with one stone?

Wrong!

Liu Zhi must have another meaning.

What is it exactly?

Lu Fan couldn't think of it, and it was not easy to ask directly.

At this moment, there were footsteps again.

Compared with Liu Mei's footsteps just now, it was a little heavier and more urgent.

"Liu Zhi!"

A young girl broke into the living room, stood at the door, and beckoned to Liu Zhi, "You come with me." ”

She was dressed in a yellow dress, her long hair was casually draped behind her, she was tall and well-proportioned.

He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was beautiful.

A face that is extremely pure, but not charming.

Those eyes, in particular, seem to be able to capture people's souls.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

"Lingzhao, why are you here?"

Liu Zhi got up and went out.

"Let's go over there and talk."

The girl was Wu Lingzhao, she pulled up Liu Zhi's sleeves and was about to take him away.

"You wait."

Liu Zhi stopped her, "My best friend Lu Fan is here, I'll introduce you to you." ”

"I don't see outsiders."

Wu Lingzhao frowned.

"Lu Fan is not an outsider."

Liu Zhi said: "I remember I mentioned him to you, he is very powerful. ”

"Not interested."

Wu Lingzhao turned around and walked out, and after a few steps, she turned her head and glared at Liu Zhi, "Are you here or not?" ”

"No, no."

Liu Zhi didn't hesitate, "I want to accompany Lu Fan, I don't have time to go out with you." ”

"You ......"

Wu Lingzhao stomped his feet, turned his body back, faced Liu Zhi, and said angrily: "He is so important to you?" ”

"That's right."

Liu Zhi reminded: "Didn't I tell you that he is my best friend?" ”

"Okay, you can accompany him."

Wu Lingzhao turned around and left.

Liu Zhi shook his head and returned to Lu Fan to sit down, "Brother Lu, have you seen it?" With this temper, do I dare to marry? ”

"It's good if you catch up and coax a few words."

Lu Fan persuaded: "Don't affect the relationship between the two of you because of me." ”

"How could I coax her?"

Liu Zhi suddenly smiled, "It's better this way, so that she won't have to pester me all day." ”

"Okay."

Since the other party didn't care, Lu Fan didn't have much to say.

"Brother Lu, we have to have a few drinks tonight."

Liu Zhi said: "Don't leave tonight, wait until tomorrow morning, I'll send you back to the post house." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan agreed.

……

……

The next morning, had breakfast.

Lu Fan took a carriage, accompanied by Liu Zhi, and returned to the post house.

The two got out of the carriage, and Lu Fan waved goodbye to Liu Zhi.

"Let's go back."

"Okay."

Liu Zhi said with a smile: "When Brother Lu enters the finals, I will personally come to the scene to cheer for you." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan nodded, "Then it's decided." ”

"Hmm."

Only then did Liu Zhi turn around and return to the carriage.

"Drive!"

The boy left in a carriage.

"Lu Fan!"

Cao Ning and Meng Ran walked over.

Qin Yu, Song Yu and others also came out.

and Ye Wuchen, who also walked out of the post house.

"Are you going out again?"

"yes."

Cao Ning said with a smile: "The capital is so big, how can we finish shopping yesterday afternoon, it just happens that it has been okay for the past few days, and the Lord Commander will let us move freely." ”

"Okay, you can go."

A few people were talking, and suddenly a gong sounded in the distance.

"Dangdang!"

A group of soldiers banged the gong and opened the way in front.

Behind them was a maroon horse, and immediately sat a scholar.

The scholar looked to be less than twenty years old, with a delicate face and a radiant spirit.

He was wearing a red champion robe and a champion hat, looking around, his face was quite smug.

"Good!"

There were many ordinary people who followed, watching the excitement and applauding at the same time.

Champion patrol the streets!

It's March now, and the temple exam has just ended.

The emperor's hand-picked champion.

Although the strong in the world are respected, the champion is the champion after all, and if he can be appreciated by the emperor, his future future will be guaranteed.

Hearing the sound of the gong, Lu Fan turned around and looked at the champion in the red robe, and suddenly felt very familiar.

Xu Zhao?

He quickly recognized the other person.

This guy can!

I actually won the top prize!

Lu Fan was a little surprised, but at the same time happy.

Xu Zhao finally changed his fate with his own efforts.

It's really gratifying.

"Dangdang!"

The gong is getting closer and louder.

The team patrolling the streets is approaching the post house.

Xu Zhao rode on the horse, looking left and right, looking quite proud.

Especially feeling the envious eyes of the people along the street, he was even more happy.

Several of the teenage girls were even waving to him, as if trying to get his attention.

How could there be such treatment before?

When the people saw him, they were afraid to avoid him.

But now, too many people want to befriend him, and they don't hesitate to give him generous gifts for this.

Miss Liu Dai, you wait for me, after I am crowned official, I will go back to marry you.

I will redeem you, and I will never leave you from now on.

and Lu Fan, after going back, you must thank this person, and even find a way to repay him.

Xu Zhao was thinking about it, and happened to come to the door of the post house.

He glanced at the inn and the people in front of it.

Well?

These people?

Not like ordinary people, huh?

Both appearance and temperament are far beyond ordinary people.

Several of them are even more outstanding, they are simply dragons and phoenixes among people, even if he can't compare.

Wrong.

Why is that man so familiar?

Xu Zhao saw a familiar face, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

"Lu Fan?"

He exclaimed, turned over and dismounted, and ran quickly in front of Lu Fan, looking carefully.

"Is it really you? Why did you come to the capital too? ”

"I'm here to play."

Lu Fan smiled, "It's you, yes, you actually won the top prize." ”

"It's inconvenient to disclose, right?"

Xu Zhao knew that Lu Fan couldn't be here to play, and it was likely that he was on military affairs, so he said with a smile: "Understand, understand." ”

"You're going to patrol the streets."

Lu Fan urged: "Don't delay the business because of me." ”

It is not a secret that he came to participate in the big competition, Xu Zhao can know as long as he inquires a little.

Therefore, there is no need for him to say it in public.

"By the way, I almost forgot about business."

Xu Zhao patted his head, suddenly straightened his clothes, and his expression became serious.

"Lu Fan, it was you who woke me up and gave me the opportunity to enter Beijing to catch the exam."

"It is precisely because of you that I can be the top student in high school and glorify my ancestors."

"Everything I have now is due to you."

"Please bow down to me!"

As he spoke, Xu Zhao was about to fall to his knees.

Lu Fan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be like this, you are the champion, today is your big day, how can you bow down to people casually?" I got the idea, you go patrol the streets. ”

"That's fine."

Xu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Then accept my gift!" ”

After speaking, he bowed to Lu Fan and arched his hand, "Thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness!" I Xu Zhao will always remember it, I will be grateful to you for a lifetime, if my husband needs anything in the future, please just ask, even if I go to the soup, I will not hesitate. ”

"Hurry up."

Lu Fan helped Xu Zhao up, "I just said casually at the time, the most important thing is to rely on your own efforts, and what you should be most grateful for is yourself." ”

"That's not right."

Xu Zhao shook his head lightly, "If I hadn't woken up without Mr. waking up, I would still be in a daze, I'm afraid this life would be wasted, let alone get Miss Liu Dai's heart." ”

"It's a gesture for you, but for me, it's a change of fate."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

As he spoke, Xu Zhao bowed again.
