Chapter 4: Brothers

The brilliant sixteen-year-old boy was right, and the emperor did think so.

Although the failure of the Star Festival has nothing to do with Xu Luo, for Emperor Huangfu Haoran, even if he marries his daughter to a pig, he will not marry Xu Luo.

That waste-like teenager, a gust of wind can blow him down, a few drums can make him faint from exhaustion, marry his daughter to him?

Don't even think about it!

Especially this time the eunuch came to announce the decree, the Xu family only Xu Luo himself was at home, although it was a coincidence, but for Xu Luo, it was equivalent to the emperor's denial of himself again!

It's like sprinkling salt on a wound.

Xu Luo let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes slightly, and thought in his heart: Now I am no longer the weak Xu Luo of the past, in my body, there is the soul of the Big Dipper, the Shadow Shaking Light Method, and the Seven Killings of the Army! Those who look down on me, sooner or later, one day, I will let you know that in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, there will be no wasters!

In the following half a month, Xu Luo closed his door, and even his own courtyard rarely went out.

In the eyes of the Xu family, the second young master must have been stimulated by the failure of the Star Festival and the attitude of the royal family, and he used to go out with a few brothers to relax, but now he doesn't even go out of his own courtyard.

Even the food was sent by the ripples, and the others were told not to disturb......

The people of the Xu family are worried about this, but unfortunately the old man and the young master are not at home, and they can only hope that the little master can come out of this haze as soon as possible.

The Xu family didn't know what to do, and their second young master might still have a haze in his heart, but it was definitely not the kind they imagined.

Starry Night.

The light of the Big Dipper in the sky was faint and dim.

From the day the Star Festival failed, the Big Dipper never emitted a bright light like usual.

This is also the fundamental reason why the neighbors of the firmament country are restless and the people in the country are uneasy.

Beidou ...... It seems that the Firmament Country is no longer protected!

Xu Luo sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly practicing the Shadow Shaking Light Mind Method, and after running for a week, he opened his eyes slightly, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were extremely bright.

After taking a long breath, Xu Luo thought: This Shadow Shaking Light Heart Method is really powerful, I have only been cultivating for half a month, and I have already changed my originally weak physique, and even ...... It may have reached the level of a swordsman. If I continue to cultivate like this for a long time, it won't take long for me to break through to the realm of a swordsman, and by that time, I will be a real martial artist!

For half a month, Xu Luo practiced the Shadow Shaking Heart Method every night, and practiced the Seven Kills of Breaking the Army during the day, and now he has preliminarily mastered the first kill of the Seven Kills of the Broken Army - broken muscles and bones.

On the practice stake that was originally used as an ornament in the courtyard, Xu Luo's fist mark was also left.

These, except for Xu Luo himself, no one knows about it.

Including his personal maid Ripple!

Xu Luo instructed that no one was allowed to come in and disturb every day, except for the time when the meal was delivered.

The feeling of mastering the strength is indeed different, in the past, Xu Luo punched the practice stake, except for the broken skin and bleeding pain of his fist, there would be no gain.

Now Xu Luo ran the Shadow Shaking Light Heart Method, and used the first kill of the Seven Kills to break the muscles and bones, and hit the wooden stake, the wooden stake would make a dull sound, and then a faint fist mark was left on it.

And his fists, as if they were made of iron, barely felt pain!

The Xu family's practice stakes are made of iron wood that is more than 100 years old, this kind of iron wood is difficult to invade by fire and water, and it is difficult to hurt with knives and axes, even if you use a saw to saw, it will take a long time to cut it.

Now that Xu Luo punched it, it could leave a faint trace, which ...... It is a powerful **, the amount of power bringed!

It is enough to show the power of the two ** that the Shaking Star Soul gave to Xu Luo.

"Run the Shadow Shaking Light Mind Method for another week, and I'll rest!" In the dark, Xu Luo whispered to himself, and then, closing his eyes, he entered the cultivation state again.

Since the soul of the Seven Stars entered his body, Xu Luo began to cultivate tirelessly, and every time he sleeped, he would be extremely sweet, and he would no longer have the weakness he had in the past.

This sixteen-year-old boy has completely changed his fate.

Early the next morning, Xu Luo was shirtless, punching the practice stake.

Bang bang!

A dull sound echoed around Xu Luo's courtyard.

Smack!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard.

Xu Luo's eyes were slightly condensed, and through the door of the small courtyard, he saw Ripple standing outside, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Come in. Xu Luo casually picked up the shirt that was put on the side.

"Young Master...... Huh?" Ripple pushed the door in, saw Xu Luo was wearing clothes there, slightly stunned, and then his eyes fell on the practice stake on the side, and he said with some distress: "Why does the young master torture himself so much, no matter what those people outside say, isn't it good for the young master to be a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Xu Luo smiled, he didn't deliberately hide anything from this maid who grew up with him since he was a child.

He raised his hands and said with a smile, "Look, my fist is not broken." ”

"Well, that's good. Ripple didn't think much about it, a pair of beautiful eyes bent into two crescent moons, and then said: "Sui Yan and Huangfu Chongzhi's two sons are here, they want to find the young master to go out to play together, they are waiting in the front hall now, if the young master doesn't want to go, the slave maid will go back to them......"

"Brother is here, how can I not see it, well. Xu Luo smiled and said, "Lead the way." ”

"I didn't expect it to be these two guys who came to see me first. Xu Luo said casually, but there was a warm current flowing through his heart.

Although he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by many people because of his poor physique, he is not without friends.

From childhood to adulthood, there are also four or five playmates who get along very well, and as the young master of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Xu Luo's friends naturally have a good identity.

But what's interesting is that none of Xu Luo's friends are normal in the eyes of outsiders!

Sui Yan, Duke of Jingyang, the third son of the mighty general's family, the Duke of Jingyang's family is also a martial arts family, a generation of military generals.

The contemporary Duke of Jingyang, the mighty general Sui Wanli, is the number one general next to Xu Ji, the general of Zhenguo, known as 'swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger', and is extremely brave on the battlefield, which can be called ten thousand enemies!

And Sui Yan, the third son of the Sui family, showed extraordinary talent when he was a child, and at the age of twelve, he broke through the swordsman, reached the first-order swordsman, and became a real martial artist.

Sui Yan, who is one year younger than Xu Luo, is just fifteen years old this year, and he has already reached the realm of an eighth-order swordsman, and he is also a leader among his peers in the entire imperial capital.

These don't seem to be anything, a child of the Wuxun family has such an outstanding talent, in the eyes of many people, it is normal.

After all, "exceptions" like Xu Luo are not common.

The problem is that Sui Yan didn't like to cultivate martial arts since he was a child!

He was able to reach today's state, it can be said that he was completely forced out by the elders of the family!

Sui Yan, who has a calm personality and is nicknamed 'Sui Xiaoshi', has loved everything since he was a child is to study all kinds of strange mechanisms!

Well, the trick is also a discipline in this world, but in the eyes of a powerful general, the trick ...... It's scum!

"The mechanism is a fart, Lao Tzu blasted over with a sword qi, no matter how powerful the mechanism is, it will become scum!" This is what Sui Yan's Lao Tzu Sui Wanli said angrily after kicking away some small mechanisms designed by his son.

"Only martial arts is the king's way!" Sui Wanli painstakingly persuaded his son, Sui Yan's talent can almost be regarded as the best among the small characters of the Sui family.

But Sui Yan still went his own way, no matter how many boards he suffered on his buttocks, he didn't say a word, and never gave up the study of mechanical techniques.

Therefore, the third son of the Sui family is an abnormal person...... This kind of saying has been circulating in the imperial capital for a long time.

As for Huangfu Chongzhi...... That's even more amazing.

This is a young man who is obsessed with alchemy to the extreme.

His status is very noble, and he is a prince.

But his fate was very bumpy, much worse than Xu Luo.

His mother is a palace maid without any status, just because she is beautiful, after Emperor Huangfu Haoran was drunk once, she was favored, and then she had the prince Huangfu Chongzhi.

The biggest misfortune of the palace maid is not that she was favored by the emperor, but that she gave birth to a prince before all the women in the palace!

As a result, the beautiful palace maid died mysteriously, and Huangfu Chongzhi was adopted by the queen.

When the queen had a son of her own, Huangfu Chongzhi was ruthlessly abandoned.

His father didn't like him, the son who came to the world "accidentally", the ladies in the palace, and he didn't like the nominal eldest son of the emperor.

Therefore, although Huangfu Chongzhi is a prince, he has never enjoyed any of the treatment that a prince deserves - except for education, the books he studied in the Royal Academy.

But this does not mean that he is valued at all, because Xu Luo, Sui Yan and other noble children also received the same enlightenment education in the Royal Academy.

Huangfu Chongzhi has been very gentle since he was a child, almost no one has seen him angry, and he never participates in all kinds of struggles between royal children.

Since he fell in love with alchemy at the age of six, he has almost no contact with other princes.

His brothers have never taken this brother seriously, let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't compete with them for the crown prince.

Xu Luo became friends with them, or because when he was studying at the Royal Academy, a few teenagers who were a little weird and didn't have many people to deal with naturally came together.

After many years of getting along, they have already become friends with each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers.

When I came to the front hall, I heard the two of them talking from a distance.

"I just got an ancient trick a few days ago, the design in it is ingenious, it is simply an eye-opener for me, and when I design a car that can walk autonomously, I will definitely enjoy it for the first time!"

Sui Yan, nicknamed 'Sui Xiaoshi', may be a cold stone in front of others, but in front of his brother, he is completely different.

"Tricks, I remember your father said earlier, 'Traps are a fart, a sword qi blasts over, and no matter how strong the trap is, it will turn into scum'. ”

The voice of the speaker was gentle, especially when he learned the foul language of the other party's father, but he said it in a very serious way, which made people laugh.

"Don't disgust me with my father's words, I hate others the most when they say that the mechanism is scum, don't think that you are my eldest brother and you can insult my hobby at will, hum, a really powerful mechanism is enough to kill any strong person!"

"Hahaha, I'll have a pill in my hand, and you, the mechanic, will die. The voice was still gentle, but it was full of banter.

"Don't brag, don't forget, I can also blast out sword qi...... Swordsman!"

Two distinguished fellows were arguing there, and Ripple was snickering on the sidelines.

Xu Luo opened his mouth without scruples, and said with a smile: "You two, do you have to pinch it every time you meet?"

"Ah, our third brother is finally willing to come out of your small courtyard!" Hearing Xu Luo's voice, Sui Yan and Huangfu Chongzhi said in unison and pointed the finger at Xu Luo.
