The empress's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and the analysis of the master was the same as that of Lu Ning.

I couldn't help but admire Lu Ning very much, she was able to think the same way at a young age, which was really amazing.

[Congratulations to the punisher for increasing the favorability of the Empress of the Great Zhou to 94% and rewarding 3 points of prestige!] 】

Prestige: 51 points

Downstairs in Baiyun Mountain, Lu Ning saw that the catalogue flashed slightly, clicked on it and took a look, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised.

Does the empress think about him?

From the beginning of the court at the second o'clock, to now he has been obsessed with him twice.

"Do you fall in love with me when you like me 100 percent?" Lu Ning muttered in his heart.

He was a little expectant.

At this moment, Lu Ning looked at a place.

There was a woman dressed in white, who was Lan Yunhui, who was guarding his family.

Lu Ning asked the empress, the woman in white who first went to guard his family was killed by Qi Kun, and then let Lan Yunhui go.

Lan Yunhui is one of the empress's senior sisters, and her cultivation is the pinnacle of the four-grade qi refining, and she has stepped into the realm of the innate Dao Yuan with half a foot.

The real combat power can be fought with the three-grade master.

It is more than enough to protect Lu Ning's family.

Feeling Lu Ning's gaze, Lan Yunhui looked over, his gaze was very calm.

Even if she recognized Lu Ninglai, her face did not change.

Calmly walked towards the mountain tower.

Lu Ning asked Pei Tianbei beside him: "Baiyun Dao Temple is one of the five great immortal gates, is there a quality immortal?" ”

Pei Tianbei nodded and said: "Listen to my master, the five major immortal sects all have first-grade immortals, but first-grade immortals rarely manage sectarian affairs, either retreat and cultivate, or travel the world, and it is difficult to see each other." ”

Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly: "So the Lord of Baiyun Guan is not a first-grade immortal?" ”

Pei Tianbei shook his head and said, "No, cultivation should be in the middle of the second grade." ”

"What about the Sword Venerable seniors?"

"Brother Lu is talking about the predecessor of Li Qingbai, the Sword Venerable of the Troubled Times on the Golden Stage?"

"It's him."

"Listen to my master, Li Jianzun's predecessor is a first-grade sword cultivator, and the existence of the top five in the Tianzi list of combat power, I don't know why, sixty years ago, his cultivation suddenly fell to the second grade, and he was self-styled on the golden platform."

Hearing this, Lu Ning was slightly stunned.

The former first-grade sword cultivation fell to the second-grade cultivation, and between the waves of his hand, the sword qi broke through the sky.

If you return to a first-grade cultivation, wouldn't it be easy to open the gate of heaven with a sword?

The super first-class powerhouse can break through the gate of heaven and go.

"Who is the first-grade immortal of Baiyun Dao Temple?"

"I heard that it is the little uncle of the Baiyun Temple, a man who has lived for five years, I don't know what his name is." Pei Tianbei said with a deep groan.

"Five Jiazi years?"

Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, that is three hundred years old.

"Baiyun Dao Temple has immortal immortal arts."

"Yes, what is it called, the fifth generation of the Baiyun Taoist Temple, is to use the Immortal Dao Sutra to achieve a super-first-grade immortal, and establish the status of the Baiyun Taoist Temple as one of the five great immortal gates."

Pei Tianbei nodded and continued: "It's just that since the fifth generation of Guan Lord, there has never been a super first-grade immortal in Baiyun Dao Temple, and so far, the strongest is a first-grade immortal. ”

"Even so, there are only a handful of people in the world who can reach the top of the ranks."

Hearing this, Lu Ning nodded secretly and said, "How many people are there in the world?" ”

Pei Tianbei said: "It's hard to say clearly, probably less than a thousand." ”

Lu Ning didn't speak again.

Wen Tingwu said that there are about 30,000 people above the fourth grade in the world, but there are less than 1,000 strong people in the upper third grade.

There are fewer of those above the second grade.

There are really only a handful of strong people in the first grade.

He is now short of experience points, as long as he has enough 30 million points, he can be promoted to the top three powerhouses.

At that time, the number of people who can hurt him will be two or three hundred at most.

As for the people who can kill him, it is estimated that there are not even a hundred people.

It's getting closer and closer to the goal he can be unscrupulous.

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-sixth of the winter month.

The total XP is worth 25.5 million points.

Lu Ning's new mansion was rewarded and moved from the outer city to the inner city.

Although it is not on the four main streets of east, west, north and south, it is not bad, it is one of the four squares in the inner city, and the Antai Fang Jingyang Street in the south.

Today's promotion and housewarming, not only the Jingzhou Mansion Yin came to congratulate, but even the pavilion elder Qin Zhong personally went to Daoxi.

The face is very generous.

In addition to Kou Shize, Cao Dachun, Si Zheng Gu Fengtang, Zhang Juming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and some old princes, many civil and military officials in the DPRK and China went to Lu Ning's house to say goodbye.

There are many thousands of households in the Demon Suppression Division, and together with Gu Wushuang, they are busy with Lu Ning's promotion and housewarming, and there is also Hu Qingcheng among them.

Lu Ning was still being interrogated last month, and this month Lu Ning has been able to sit on an equal footing with him.

Not only that, but he is also a gold medal demon suppressor, and he also has a gold medal for avoiding death.

More powerful than the five deputy directors of the Demon Suppression Division.

Hu Qingcheng also sighed in his heart, a person's luck, when he should step into the clouds and step on the clouds, no one can stop him.

In the main hall, Lu Ning was busy greeting Qin Zhong and the others.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Qin Zhong, the latter personally came to congratulate him, and he couldn't make people have a hot face and a cold ass.

At the same time, it also allows the eldest brother Lu Xiu to contact Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials, which is to better pave the way for the eldest brother's career next autumn and in the future.

Qin Zhong didn't sit for long, looked at the mansion, sat down and drank two cups of tea, got up and said goodbye to Lu Ning.

Although there is a big difference between the identities of the two, Lu Ning is a celebrity next to the empress today.

can bridge the identity gap between the two.

"Lu Qianhu, the envoys of the Western Regions are about to arrive, the old man can't sit for a long time, so he personally invites Lu Qianhu to the house for tea on the next day."

Before leaving, Qin Zhong smiled and leaned closer to Lu Ning and said in a low voice.

Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say, Qin Ge will go slowly!" ”

Seeing Qin Zhong get into the luxury carriage, the carriage gradually moved away.

Lu Ning's eyes flashed with a glint of light: "Envoys of the Western Regions? It's pretty fast! ”

Next.

Lu Ning continued to greet everyone, and it was almost noon when Pei Tianbei came to congratulate him on behalf of his uncle Pei Tong.

Let the neighbors in the street look at it and envy it.

"Brother Lu, these are the people I brought, the caretaker of the home, the strength is not very strong, you will use it." Pei Tianbei grinned.

Lu Ning glanced at it, there were eight people in total, and the strongest one was the fifth grade, two people from the sixth grade, and five people from the seventh grade.

Babysitting's home is definitely enough.

"I've seen Gongzi, my subordinate Kong Rong."

"If there is anything in the future, Childe will tell me."

The five-rank man, who was about thirty years old, reported his name, and then the others also saluted.

Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction.

Then he instructed Kong Rong to take someone to help his sister-in-law prepare a luncheon.

It wasn't until the end of the day that the luncheon was completely over.

The civil and military officials, as well as the colleagues of the Demon Suppression Division, left one after another.

Lu Ning began to count the number of people in the house.

In addition to Kong Rong's eight people guarding the home, there are also ten guards in the house, and the strength is four people in six grades and six people in seven grades.

In addition to the six people from Qiulan before, there were still fifteen people left in the house.

There are also fifteen male family members.

Lu Ning carefully liquidated, in addition to his family, there were fifty-four people, and he had to raise them, which was a big expense.

His current mansion is two or three times larger than the previous one on Pingyang Street, with a garden, a fish pond, and a martial arts training ground, but there is no need for so many people.

Leave behind the eight Kong Rong people brought by Pei Tianbei, as well as the four six-rank martial artists in the original mansion, enough for twelve people.

The maids were together, Lu Ning left six Qiulan people, and another four people were selected to make up ten maids.

As for the male family, six people remained.

The rest of the people, Lu Ning sent them away.

"Kong Rong, from today onwards, you will serve as the head of the Lu Mansion, if there is anything that cannot be handled, just tell me, if it is a trivial matter, you can make your own decisions."

Lu Ning directly appointed Kong Rong as the chief manager.

The latter is the person brought by Pei Tianbei, and he can still be trusted.

"It's Childe!" Kong Rong nodded respectfully.

Lu Ning said: "I'll make it clear to you about the situation in the house, my eldest brother is a showman in the courtyard, and he will participate in the autumn festival next year, and the little sister is a saint disciple of the master's courtyard, and on weekdays, he is also a sister-in-law and a little niece." ”

"In addition, the Lan Fairy of the Baiyun Taoist Temple will also come to the Lu Mansion to guard her at night, so you should not see her when you see her."

Kong Rong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Childe, you trust your subordinates so much, and your subordinates will not let you down." ”

Lu Ning said: "Go ahead, take someone to count all today's gifts, no one is missing, compare it with the gift list, and come to me after confirming that it is correct." ”

Kong Rong responded, and left quickly with the guards, maids, and subordinates.

In the main hall.

The eldest brother Lu Xiu and sister-in-law Ruan Shuting both stared at Lu Ning, who was idle.

In fact, they had already heard some rumors, but they just couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until this morning that the county lord of Antaifang Chen brought people to greet him with gongs and drums, and they didn't know that they were going to move to a new mansion.

"Ahem......!"

Lu Ning saw that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were staring at him, he coughed lightly and said, "It happened suddenly, and I haven't had time to tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

"From today on, the Lu Mansion on Jingyang Street in Antai Fang will be our new home."

"Hehe, are you big brother and I stupid? Will you not be able to see it? ”

Ruan Shuting rolled her eyes, she had already turned around the huge mansion three times, and she was happy in her heart.

But Lu Ning has only been promoted to lieutenant for a short time, and the mansion on Pingyang Street has not lived for long, and he has begun to live in the inner city, is this a bit of a big step?

Lu Ning grinned and pointed to the chest of his robe: "Sister-in-law, Feixiong, Qianhu, I have been promoted." ”

Ruan Shuting pouted: "Don't you know you as a sister-in-law?" Your eldest brother and I want to know, how did you get promoted so quickly? ”

Lu Xiu frowned and said, "Chang'an, you tell the eldest brother, are you stammering with Qin Ge Lao?" ”

Lu Ning put away the smile on his face, sat next to Lu Xiu and said, "Big brother, you think too much, if I befriend Qin Zhong, will Qin Zhong come to our Lu Mansion?" ”

Lu Xiu's eyes flashed slightly: "The captain Lu who escorts the first-class merit, is that you?" ”

Lu Ning nodded.

Lu Xiu's eyes couldn't help but widen, but after thinking about it carefully, the eldest princess loved poetry, and with his younger brother's two poems, he could indeed win the love of the eldest princess.

Before King Yongshan made a fuss, the eldest princess was imprisoned, and she must have met her younger brother.

It's just that this first-class escort skill requires real strength, how can you get the first-class escort merit with poetry?

"What kind of escort first-class work?" Ruan Shuting hadn't heard the news yet, so she couldn't help but ask Lu Xiu curiously.

Lu Xiu took a deep breath and told his wife a series of things such as the dedication of poems, the entry of the eldest princess into the prison, the death of Emperor Ming Wu, the seizure of the edict, and the enthronement of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ruan Shuting was shocked again and again as she listened to the story.

Lu Ning's successive promotions in the prison had already shocked her, but she didn't expect Lu Ning to become a celebrity next to the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the Qin Pavilion elder who covered most of the sky with one hand in the court came to congratulate.

After listening, Ruan Shuting was shocked and didn't know what to say.

Sitting quietly in a chair with her daughter in her arms.

I don't know why, there was a moment in her heart that she was afraid, scared, and worried about Lu Ning.

She had so many things to worry about.

Therefore, for a moment, my heart was very chaotic.

Lu Ning was not particularly happy to see that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were not very happy, and he could probably guess what the two were thinking.

After all, the shock was too much, and I couldn't be happy at all, only worried.

The facts are in front of them, and the two have to believe it, but if they change too much, it is easy for people to feel unreal.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, we just live in a different place, what should we do, it's still the same as before, or even safer." Lu Ning was relieved.

"The second brother's ability is getting bigger and bigger, but I still have to say it." Ruan Shuting stared at Lu Ning.

"Sister-in-law, please speak."

"Be down-to-earth." Ruan Shuting stared at Lu Ning's eyes.

"What my sister-in-law taught me is that Chang'an must keep it in mind." The corners of Lu Ning's mouth lifted.

At this moment, Kong Rong walked into the main hall and reported the details of the congratulatory gift to Lu Ning.

After hearing this, Lu Ning waved his hand and said, "All of them are sealed in the warehouse, and they are not allowed to move without my permission." ”

"It's Childe!"

Kong Rong nodded, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Long.

Lu Xiu said to Lu Ning: "Although I have always hoped to change the Lu family through reading, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, too fast, so fast that I didn't expect it." ”

"You've done what your eldest brother has never been able to do, and if your father is still alive, you must be very happy."

As he spoke, Lu Xiu smiled.

In any case, today should be a happy day.

Immediately looked at his wife.

Ruan Shuting let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Second brother has really grown up!" ”

"In the future, as an official in the DPRK, you must be upright in body and heart, and ask for your life for the people, so that you can protect the safety of my Lu family for a long time."

Lu Ning nodded: "What my sister-in-law taught me is that Chang'an should keep it in mind. ”

"Harm, it's a little serious!"

Ruan Shuting glanced at Lu Ning, suddenly became happy, and took her daughter to the mansion with Qiulan.

There were only two people left in the main hall.

Lu Xiu told Lu Ning to be an official in the court and try to avoid Qin Zhong as much as possible.

Qin Zhong is a traitor, and everyone hates it.

He was afraid that his brother would be black when he approached ink.

Lu Ning nodded and said, "Big brother, go back to the master's courtyard and tell your little sister to make her happy." ”

Lu Xiu smiled and nodded.

The next day.

Winter Moon Twenty-Seven.

The cold wind howled and mixed with flakes of snow.

Lu Ning and his eldest brother left Jingyang Street together, one went to the palace, and the other went to the Confucius Courtyard.

Tai Chi Temple.

When Lu Ning arrived, he happened to be in court.

Above the court, the main discussion was the envoys from the Western Regions who came to mourn.

"Your Majesty, as of yesterday's unitary hour, four kingdoms have come to the Western Regions, namely the Shaluo Kingdom, the Moyun Kingdom, the Huotuo Kingdom, and the Star Wolf Kingdom."

"Except for the princess who came from the Shaluo Kingdom, the other kingdoms are the princes, who are currently placed in the Great Honglu Temple, waiting for His Majesty's summons."

The empress nodded: "Wait for another day today, if there are no other Western Regions countries coming, let's arrange an audience tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty."

Qin Zhong nodded and continued: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yongzhou that the King of Yongshan has added 500,000 new soldiers and is training day and night. ”
