Subsequently, the imperial capital was enveloped by an invisible tense atmosphere, even if the New Year was approaching, this aura did not diminish in the slightest.

This year, too many unexpected things happened in the imperial capital, and the excitement was far better than in previous years.

The Centennial Star Festival failed unexpectedly.

The salted fish of the second son of the civil official in the Zhenguo General's Mansion turned over.

The glory of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!

The birth of the Lord of Suzaku and the Marquis of Seven Colors!

Fengyue Mansion's owner Phoenix and the mysterious Feng Gongzi's appreciation of Xu Luo......

Several major cases that shook the imperial capital, and the warehouses of seven or eight families were looted!

All kinds of strange things happened to the Wei family, the Wei family's seventy-eight large shops all over the imperial capital were destroyed, and Mrs. Wei committed suicide in shame after being exposed after having an affair with her subordinates......

The 'bookpost' incident that is faintly circulating in the upper circles......

It can be said that everything is talked about.

In the eyes of many people, this year belongs to the Xu family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion...... It is also a year that belongs to Xu Luo, the second son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!

What could be more surprising than Xu Luo's transformation?

Originally, a young man who was so weak that he often fainted, after a few months, he became a martial artist who was not inferior to any of his peers.

Although I only shot a few times, I was amazed every time!

Even Wei Yun, the teacher of the True Martial Academy, who had the level of an eighth-order great sword master a few years ago, and now he is a powerhouse who has reached the realm of a ninth-order peak great sword master, used sixty percent of his strength, but only caused Xu Luo to suffer a little bit of minor injury.

As soon as this incident came out, countless people became extremely interested in that high-minded, mysterious and powerful hidden sect!

Because it is said that the reason why Xu Luo's body can change so much is because his mother, who was born in the sect, returned to the sect to ask for medicine!

Otherwise, Xu Luo would still be the same medicine jar, small waste, and civil official job bowl in the past!

It's a pity that the reason why those big sects are called hidden sects is because of their mystery and superiority, how can ordinary people have such blessings and be able to enter the eyes of the sect?

Sects are hidden from the world, higher than the world, but they are influencing the world all the time.

The day before the holiday of the True Martial Arts Academy, the Seventh Princess found Xu Luo and told Xu Luo a little unhappily that she was leaving.

"My father contacted a major sect for me, and someone from there also came to check my physique, saying that I could enter that sect and become a registered disciple of the sect master......

When the seventh princess said this, she looked at Xu Luo with a reluctant expression: "I don't want to go, I don't want to leave you." ”

Xu Luo's heart was also full of reluctance, and at the same time, he was a little surprised, because he suddenly remembered what the phoenix had quietly left said.

"You put the imperial power ...... It's so simple!"

"Is it behind the royal ...... Is there really a shadow of a sect?" Xu Luo shook his head slightly, unwilling to think about these questions, raised his head and looked at the stunning girl in front of him.

"Qiqi, if you have the opportunity to enter the sect, it is actually a good thing, and you can directly become a disciple of the sect master......

"It's a registered disciple!" the seventh princess emphasized, and then looked at Xu Luo: "Do you also think it's a good thing to enter the sect?"

"Hehe, at least, it can make you stronger than you are now, isn't it? Xu Luo said with a smile.

"Actually, I know that my father seems to be extremely proud of your family, but in fact, he has been on guard, and I don't want to see these things. Maybe you're right, going into a sect is also a good thing for me. The Seventh Princess smiled playfully and said, "At least, in a few years, I won't have to face those endless suitors." ”

"Hmm, anyone else dares to beat your idea?" Xu Luo raised his eyebrows and said.

"Wei Xiang has been actively running for a while now, wanting to propose marriage to his son, and my father and emperor are also a little bothered, so he decided to send me to the sect, right?" The seventh princess said lightly, raised her head, and stared at Xu Luo with beautiful eyes: "No matter what time it is, Qiqi is Xu Luo's brother's person, and no one can change this!"

Xu Luo gently held the girl in his arms, was silent for a while, and said: "The Shadow Light Shaking Heart Method and Light Shaking Step must be practiced diligently, so as not to be seen by others. ”

"Hmm. The girl replied softly, leaned on Xu Luo's shoulder, and then said: "I heard that the phoenix is also gone, you are really pitiful, and when the time comes, only Sister Ripple will be left by your side......"

The corners of Xu Luo's mouth twitched slightly, the few women who were close to him were all the kind of women who were extremely smart, although they wouldn't show anything at all on weekdays, but inadvertently mocking him like this made him helpless.

"Hee-hee, don't mess with you, people are leaving, remember to miss me. When the time comes, I will return from the sect, you don't want to be defeated by Qiqi!" the girl raised her head from Xu Luo's arms and said with a smile.

"Hmph, your ass is itchy?" Xu Luo looked at the girl with a smile.

"Ah, you're dead! It's so ugly! I won't play with you......" The girl's face turned crimson, and she jumped away.

As if she didn't want Xu Luo to see the mist condensed in her eyes, the girl didn't even look back, and quickly disappeared from Xu Luo's sight.

Xu Luo stood in his small courtyard, stunned for a while, and then said lightly: "Aren't you tired after staying in the tree for so long? Everyone has been neighbors for so long, you don't need to be so shy, right? If you want, come and sit, I'm ...... And a bit of good tea. ”

Whoosh!

Several figures, following Xu Luo's words, jumped down from the surrounding trees.

A girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, fair skin, and two Danfeng eyes with a little smile in her eyes, first said: "It seems that Senior Brother Xu has already discovered us, and his skills are good!"

The other two young men in their twenties also had calm faces, without any embarrassed expressions because they had been discovered.

"Spiritual senses are good. A tall and thin young man looked at Xu Luo and said, "My name is Xiahou Changyou." ”

"Lu Yu. The eighteen-year-old girl said.

"The stage is bright and extinguished. The third handsome young man had a faint smile on his face, but when he looked closely, there was no smile in his eyes, as if the smile on his face was just a habit and politeness.

"The Bright Extinction of the Mountains...... What a strange name. Xu Luo muttered in his heart, and then made a gesture of invitation to the three of them and let them into his dormitory.

The three of them were not polite, they made their own preparations after coming in, and then watched Xu Luo make tea there.

"He is worthy of being a child of the nobility, and he is so proficient in even the tea ceremony. The girl Lu Yu said with a smile: "No wonder the seventh princess likes you." ”

Xu Luo smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Xiahou Changyou suddenly interjected: "If she enters the sect, you are afraid that there will be no chance, and you should prevent her from entering the sect." ”

Tantai Mingxiao also nodded on the side and said, "That's right, the Seventh Princess is beautiful and intelligent, but she doesn't have any understanding of the sect. Otherwise, I believe she wouldn't be so happy to want to enter the sect. ”

Xu Luo poured tea for the three of them, and asked with a smile, "Are the three seniors from sects?"

"Sect?" Lu Yu and the other three shook their heads with a smile, and Lu Yu said, "We are not sectarians. ”

Yutai Mingxuan said: "It's just that I know a little bit about the sect. ”

Xiahou Changyou smiled: "The domineering of the sect is not something you can imagine, a woman like the Seventh Princess has entered, and it is impossible for her to be easily released......"

"I believe in her. Xu Luo said lightly, unwilling to talk more about the Seventh Princess.

In Xu Luo's heart, he didn't have any good feelings about the sect, his mother's sect, Phoenix's sect, and now there is another Qiqi sect, these high-ranking hidden sects, overlooking all living beings, high up, and looking down on all living beings in their bones.

"Sooner or later, one day, I will have an intersection with these sects, and if they dare not let go of Qiqi, then they will snatch it back. Xu Luo thought in his heart.

Lu Yu and the others only regarded Xu Luo's confidence as a young man who didn't know the height of the sky, so they didn't say much more.

After drinking a cup of tea, they all said goodbye and left.

When Xu Luo sent out of the gate of the small courtyard, the handsome senior looked at Xu Luo meaningfully and said: "The junior has a splendid treasure in his chest, in fact, the sect is just like that, there is really nothing to be afraid of." ”

Xu Luo smiled and said, "Xie Lu Xie Senior encouragement!"

When I turned around and went back to my room, I packed up and was ready to leave, and the small courtyard was greeted by uninvited guests.

This time, it was Dean Zhou Liang, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Hey, little guy, aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?" the dean smiled and looked at Xu Luo.

"I always feel like you're an uninvited guest......," Xu Luo muttered, inviting the dean into his dormitory.

"You kid, didn't you invite three uninvited guests just now?

"Hmm, Lord Dean, is so powerful that he can't hide anything from you. Xu Luo said.

"You kid don't crowd me, I happened to see them leave when I came, my old man doesn't have time to watch you every day. ”

"Does Lord Dean know the origin of the three of them?" Xu Luo was also a little curious about the identities of Lu Yu, Xiahou Changyou, and Tangtai Mingxuan.

"I don't know if those three little guys, but they are all very talented, maybe they were sent out by some major sect to train them. Zhou Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You also know that the True Martial Academy has never asked about the origin, even if the young people of the Korean Empire come, they are welcome." ”

"You're so carefree. A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Luo's mouth, isn't the Korean Empire the country where Lord Dean traveled thousands of miles back then and made chickens and dogs jump?

The country that is most ready to move today is also the Korean Empire.

"I'm coming to you today to tell you something, you need to be mentally prepared. Zhou Liang ignored Xu Luo's teasing, and said: "After the year, a large number of you young children may have to leave the campus early and enter the army." Let me ask you, after all, at present, you are the only man left in your Xu family, if you don't want to, I won't force you. ”

"Leave the campus early and enter the army?" Xu Luo raised his head in some surprise and looked at Zhou Liang: "Is there something wrong at the front line?"

"The Korean Empire suddenly increased its troops by 300,000 a few days ago, pressing it to the border line in one fell swoop, and the Southern Dayan Empire also increased its troops by 200,000 troops, stationed troops on the border, and some other small countries harassed the border more and more frequently. ”

Zhou Liang said solemnly: "The consequences of the failure of the Star Sacrifice have finally broken out in full force, and the war is ...... It may come at any time, our Firmament Country has been too peaceful and stable for too many years, no matter how powerful the empire is, there will be a day of decline, and what we have to do now is to let this day come as late as possible. ”

"So...... This is also an opportunity for young people to make contributions, right?" Xu Luo followed Zhou Liang's words and said.

"Hehe, it's not impossible for you to think so, in fact, the major families in the imperial capital may all think so. ”

Zhou Liang looked at Xu Luo and said solemnly: "War is not a child's play, go to the battlefield with the intention of making meritorious contributions, this is okay, but you have to treat this as a pure gilded trip, then...... But it is likely to be a bamboo basket to draw water, and in the end, if you don't get your life, you have to stay on the battlefield. ”

Xu Luo nodded: "I understand, I promise you, I will step on the front line with my head, and I will come back with my head." ”

Zhou Liang smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are a child of the Xu family, there is no bad seed, in fact, I am also very curious, how long can you, the little guy who has given us countless surprises in only half a year, continue to be in such a state?"

"It's going to be a long time......" Xu Luo muttered with some uncertainty.

"It's good to be young!" Zhou Liang smiled, suddenly took out a sign from his arms and threw it to Xu Luo: "This time, you went to the south with some people, this brand is my token, if you really can't meet the hurdle, take this sign to General Yuwen Shentong, he will help you." ”

"Why is it not General Xu Zhongtian?" As soon as Xu Luo heard that he was going to the south instead of the north, his father and eldest brother, and he understood the meaning of the above.

One of the three generals is all gathered together, which is a very sensitive matter and will make people uneasy.

Even Xu Su, although currently in the north, is not directly under the management of his father Xu Ji, but serves under the account of another general.

"The place you went to this time is not the area guarded by Champion Hou, but the territory of General Yuwen Shentong, where the situation is not serious, so for you, it is more of an experience.

When you get there, you young people who have never seen the battlefield or experienced the war, do everything for yourself, this brand, if you can, try not to use it. After Zhou Liang handed the sign to Xu Luo, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Don't let Xu Luo send it out, and when he walked to the door, Zhou Liang looked back at Xu Luo and said, "Don't get too close to a few princes." ”

"Huh?" Xu Luo was slightly stunned, and when he wanted to ask, he found that the dean's figure was gone.
