Chapter 178: The City Lord of Syracuse

Early the next morning, Xu Luo and the others had breakfast and were about to say goodbye to Wang Chao, the lord of Syracuse, but Wang Chao quietly came to Xu Luo's place alone.

When they saw Wang Chaoshi, Xu Luo and the others almost didn't recognize it at the first time, it was hard to believe that the beggar in front of them would be the personable young city lord yesterday.

"The Lord of the King...... Why are you dressed like this?" the little fat man asked as he looked at Wang Chao with a surprised expression.

At this time, Wang Chao pounced, knelt in front of Xu Luo and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Please save me!"

"City Lord Wang, hurry up, what are you doing?" Xu Luo gestured to help.

Wang Chao knelt there and said in a deep voice: "If the son doesn't agree, I don't dare to get up." ”

Xu Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously: "City Lord Wang, if there is anything, you must always say it first, you are like this, you are not afraid of being seen by others?"

"That's better than dying without a corpse in the future!" Wang Chao said in a low voice, and then stood up.

"Childe may not know the Dao yet, but now the surroundings of your fiefdom are already in crisis, not only with a large number of people arranged by Wei Xiang...... There was also a group of bandits from the south...... No, it gives me the feeling that it is an army!" Wang Chao said with a solemn face: "They are well-disciplined, well-trained in advance and retreat, and they come and go like the wind, it seems that they are ...... It is to disrupt the situation in the north. ”

Although Xu Luo had already known some things before, he obviously didn't know as clearly as the Wang City Lord, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but get serious, he looked at the Wang City Lord who was dressed as a beggar, and asked lightly: "Why did the Wang City Lord suddenly dress like this and come to me to tell me this? offended Wei Xiang...... For the lord of the royal city, it seems to be ...... Nor is it a very good decision. ”

Wang Chao smiled bitterly: "But if you offend your son, I'm afraid Wang will die without a place to bury." ”

"Am I so terrible?" Xu Luo scratched his head, revealing an innocent expression.

Wang Chao looked at Xu Luo and said with a bitter face: "Gongzi is wise and martial, leading a martial soul team, he will pry the entire southern war situation, and the army of the Great Yan Empire will be wiped out when talking and laughing, so don't be humble." Although Wang is stupid, he also understands the truth that the mantis arm cannot stop the car. ”

"The words of the city lord are a little too exalted to me, how can it be as amazing as you say, it's just a coincidence. Xu Luo said, looking at the Wang City Lord and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"I ...... I'm just a small city lord, I don't have many soldiers on my hands, and there are people around me to watch, so I have done my best to get out and come here to deliver a letter to my son. Wang Chao said with some bitterness: "Wang wanted to come over in the middle of the night last night, but he was monitored too closely, even now, he must go back quickly, otherwise he will arouse the suspicion of the other party, and I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

"Afraid of them, aren't they the bullshit master next to you?" Annoyed, the little master went over and slaughtered him with a knife!" The little fat man said very domineeringly on the side.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can things be so simple, do you really think everyone else is a fool?" Xu Jie glanced at the little fat man, and then said to Wang Chao: "No matter what, I still have to thank the city lord Wang for coming to warn." ”

Wang Chao smiled bitterly: "I'm just trying to protect myself, I went from a small official to today, step by step, and I originally maintained neutrality, but since I sat in the position of the city lord, all kinds of forces have never been broken." I was a little complacent before, but gradually...... It became fear. ”

"It's just taking sides, what's there to fear?" the little fat man interjected again.

Wang Chao shook his head and said: "It would be nice if it were so simple, now that the undercurrent is surging in the DPRK and China, and the civil and military groups are pouring into each other, if you are not careful, you will be doomed." ”

Xu Luo smiled and said, "As the city lord, it seems that it would be better for you to choose to stand on Wei Xiang's side, after all, with your identity, no one can easily move you." ”

Wang Chao glanced at Xu Luo, and said secretly in his heart: If someone else says what you say, I may believe it, but from your mouth, do I dare to believe it?

Wang Chao almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he kept hesitating, unable to make up his mind.

There are two paths in front of him, the first is to follow Prime Minister Wei Feng with all his heart, although in recent times, all kinds of rumors about the Wei family have been quite unfavorable to the Wei family. But as long as you are familiar with the national conditions of the firmament country, you know very well that the emperor reigned for one day, and Wei Feng ...... There won't be any danger!

So from this point of view, it is still a good choice to follow Wei Feng, and as long as he completes the things that Wei Feng explained to him this time, he can be reused afterwards!

As a man with a small ambition, it's a temptation to resist!

But the question is...... The Xu family, is it really that easy to mess with?

Wang Chao was able to climb from a small official to the position of the city lord in just over ten years, which is obviously outstanding.

He knows one thing very well: the wolves in the east are cannibals, and the wolves in the west are by no means vegetarians!

In this way, he is left with only a second way to go.

That's ...... Fall to Xu Luo!

This may seem to many people to be quite unwise.

How could a seventeen-year-old boy be the opponent of Wei Feng, an old fox who leaned towards the government and the opposition and was born all over the world?

But such a seventeen-year-old boy barely relied on the strength of the family, so he made the entire Wei family jump, and hit the entire Wei family several times without the slightest power to fight back!

The most recent time, on top of the Golden Palace, he made Wei Feng so angry that he vomited blood in front of him!

Just ask, the whole empire, who else, can do this?

Who else can get out of Wei Feng after vomiting blood in anger?

Only this boy in front of him!

"Ambush Xu Luo?" Wang Chao felt a little ridiculous, this young man came back alive from the bloody battlefield in the south, would he be the kind of easy person who would be ambushed and killed?

Not to mention Xu Luo's father and brother, who are now in the north, although the military does not interfere in politics, in case Xu Luo has any accidents, Wang Chao can fully imagine the reaction of Xu Ji and Xu Su.

Bullshit doesn't interfere in politics...... That's all fooling the people, don't believe it, whoever has the guts will try it!

Anyway, he, Wang Chao, would never do such a stupid thing.

So, there is his choice this morning.

"However, since you are willing to believe me and make this choice, then I, Xu Luo, will naturally not treat you badly, and you can be your city lord with peace of mind. Xu Luo looked at Wang Chao and said with a smile: "The love of the city lord Wang, Xu Luo has written it down in his heart!"

Wang Chao made such a gesture, waiting for Xu Luo's words, hearing this, he bowed deeply to Xu Luo, and said in a deep voice: "Since Wang has thrown himself into the son, then everything is naturally based on the interests of the son, and the master next to me ......"

"What are you doing with him? As long as you don't expose him, keep him, and give him some good news...... "The little fat man laughed on the side: "This is a ready-made talent, why not?"

When Wang Chao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the little fat man, and admired a thumbs up: "High!"

Xu Luo and his party quietly left Syracuse, Wang Chao, who has been able to operate in Syracuse for many years, of course, also has his own channels, and it is not difficult for him to leave for a while without being discovered.

"Unexpectedly, people say that those who know the times are Junjie, this Wang Chao...... He's really a man who knows the times!" On the way, the little fat man leaned on the carriage and sighed.

"He's a smart guy. Xu Jie said.

Huangfu Chongzhi glanced at Xu Luo, and then said, "I guess I was scared by your notoriety." ”

Xu Luo looked aggrieved: "Where did I get any notoriety? I have always been very low-key." ”

Burst......

The other people all looked at Xu Luo speechlessly, and they all slandered in their hearts: You are low-key, if you are still low-key, won't we be even more low-key?

"The place where we are going to build the city is relatively open, with a big mountain in the back and a river in front of it, and that place I have seen is very suitable for building a huge castle. Xu Luo changed the subject.

Huangfu Chongzhi frowned slightly, and said, "If you build a castle, it will cost a lot, do you want to turn your fief into an independent kingdom?"

"Since it is my fiefdom, it is natural to build it well, and I dare not say that it will become an independent kingdom, at least ...... I also want to become a pure land!" Xu Luo's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "I have a hunch, sooner or later, this place may become the refuge of the Xu family." ”

Huangfu Chongzhi was silent, as the eldest prince, he naturally knew some of the internal situations in the empire better than ordinary people, especially his father who was high up, extremely skillful in using the emperor's mind to control a group of capable ministers in the palm of his hand.

It's okay to meet a loyal general like Xu Ji and Xu Su, but Xu Luo's temper, he knows best.

It's not at all at the mercy of others!

The current situation is fine, but once the war in the north is calmed down and the Xu family returns to the imperial capital with the earth-shattering military merits, how can the emperor tolerate such a high-ranking thing?

Something has to be done.

Xu Luo...... How can it be tolerated?

"Perhaps...... Leaving will be the last choice of the Xu family. Thinking in his heart, Huangfu Chong couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"If you can take the position, big brother, everything will be easy. The little fat man said from the side.

Huangfu Chongzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This matter must be mentioned again!"

Xu Jie glared at the little fat man fiercely, blaming him for being too unscrupulous, no matter what, Huangfu Chongzhi's body was full of royal blood. Although everyone is like brothers, the little fat man said this, except for putting Huangfu Chongzhi under heavy pressure, there is no benefit.

Xu Luo smiled: "I'll talk about it later." ”

At this time, far ahead, there was a sudden commotion, and everyone looked up.

"Someone is fighting!" The little fat man seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, and said with an exclamation on his face: "I'm ...... That woman is so fierce!"

In the distance, everyone could only see a white figure in front of the dust, with a fluttering coat and a fairy, knocking a large group of people to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Third brother, this little lady dares to make trouble on your territory!" The little fat man has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he looked at the woman in white with bright eyes: "Let's take her down and interrogate her, maybe we can interrogate her!"
