Xu Luo smiled and shook his head: "It's all some past grievances, and it's okay." ”

Wang Chao glanced at Xu Luo, and secretly slandered in his heart: past grievances...... How old are you?

He didn't know that what Xu Luo said was really not a lie, and the relationship with Fengyuelou was an old grudge, and it was not unavoidable.

Seeing that Xu Luo didn't want to say more, Wang Chao didn't ask any more, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet to catch the wind for Xu Luo and his party.

In fact, for this sudden extra fief lord, Wang Chao was very disgusted and unaccustomed to it in his heart. From an administrative point of view, Syracuse belongs to the Firmament Empire, and he, the lord of the city, is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court of the Firmament Empire. From another point of view, the emperor gave Xu Luo a large piece of land, including Snow City, so ...... On this territory, Xu Luo ...... is the real king!

In other words, if Xu Luo didn't like him, it would not be very difficult to replace him, the city lord.

This made Wang Chao's heart a little uneven, he had studied hard for many years, Wen Taowu was proficient in all aspects of civil governance, step by step, from a small official, to the position of the city lord, he was still very young, and he had a very good future and future.

As long as it is done well, although it is unlikely that the marquis will pay homage to the prime minister in the future, it is no problem to go further.

But the emperor said lightly, and this land within a radius of hundreds of miles became someone else's! He, Wang Chao, was originally a legitimate imperial official, but now he ...... But he also became the lord of the fiefdom of others.

The most important thing is that Wang Chao felt that Xu Luo's credit was too easy to come by, and he was rewarded...... It's too big!

"Sure enough, the children of wealthy families are easy to do, and if we civilians make these contributions, I am afraid that if we die to a baron, we will be so happy that we can't sleep for a few days and nights. What about the people? fluttering, from the marquis to the general, and then to the three products as a court official...... It's like eating and drinking, and it goes up!"

"On the contrary, I still refuse to live in peace, so I have to toss it and return all the shares of the three products and the marquis to the imperial court...... It's really envious and hateful!"

However, Wang Chao will not show these emotions on his face, and during the banquet, he chatted with everyone very enthusiastically, saying some strange stories in the north, which also made the atmosphere very lively.

After the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Xu Luo and others were sent to the back to rest.

Wang Chao sat in the living room, squinting his eyes and drinking tea, and beside him, it was the master during the day.

"My lord, what do you think...... How are these people? Will it affect the lord's future promotion?" asked the master in a low voice on the side.

Wang Chao's eyes flickered, he pondered for a while, and said: "Among these people, the most incomprehensible is not that Xu Luo, but that little fat man. ”

"Oh, is that Liu Feng?" the master was a little surprised.

"That's right, that little fat man, he suddenly asked me today, is there any bandits here...... Hey, I was not prepared for anything, and I almost lost my mouth. Wang Chao said.

"Oh, I remember, I also added two sentences at the time, but then again, that little fat man, I'm afraid he asked unintentionally, right?" The master said: "I think the eldest prince is the most unfathomable among them." ”

"The Great Prince...... This person is indeed not simple, when I was studying in the imperial capital, he was still young, he was ostracized by a group of royal people, and he didn't speak, and he was often bullied into a corner. Thinking of the days when he was studying at the Royal Academy, Wang Chao showed a faint smile on his face, and then said: "Later, the children of the royal family, I only heard that there were princes and six princes, but I never heard about the topic of the eldest prince...... Oh, and can't say there isn't. ”

"It's the refining of pills and obsession with medicine, right?" The master smiled and continued: "There is also that Xu Jie, it is said that he has been obsessed with playing iron and casting swords since he was a child, and he can be called a genius in this regard, and he casts a sword...... I heard that even the emperor likes it very much, and it is even more difficult to find it in the market. ”

"That's right, what about Xu Luo...... has been weak since he was a child, and a person like him was born in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which is really an outlier. Wang Chao said, and then said: "This little fat man, my impression of him before was that he was an unobtrusive gentleman, who flirted with women from good families on the streets of the imperial capital every day, and liked to smell the smell of others...... Sui Yan, who is taciturn and barely speaks a word, is said to be obsessed with mechanical techniques and is not good at dealing with people...... These five people can get together, it's really interesting. ”

"Actually, the lord doesn't have to think about it, we are here, loved by others, and have a clear conscience, even if Syracuse has become a fief of the nobles, so what? Lord, you are still an official of the empire, or a person of the emperor!" The master persuaded on the side: "Besides, as long as you do that thing well, the lord has a bright future in the future, what else is there to worry about?"

When the master mentioned that incident, Wang Chao's brows furrowed slightly, looking a little disgusted, he waved his hand and said, "It's not early, master should rest early." ”

"Yes, my lord. "Master said goodbye and left.

Wang Chao was left alone, sitting quietly in the living room, muttering, "Could it be ...... I really want to ...... Choosing to do this?"

......

At this time, Xu Luo and the others also gathered together, talking and laughing softly.

"Third brother, this city lord seems to be very stammering with you, first he went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and then he was entertained with rich wine and banquets, it seems that he is a sensible person. The little fat man said with a smile.

Xu Jie said on the side: "As the city lord, he doesn't need to offend a nobleman who has become the lord here, but the third child will come over this time, and he will take away a lot of the power that originally belonged to him. ”

"The idea may not be, but the approach is somewhat. Xu Luo smiled and said casually.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" all of them focused their eyes on Xu Luo.

Xu Luo smiled: "You saw the master next to the city lord today, right?"

Several people nodded, and Liu Feng asked, "Isn't that master quite normal?"

"yes, I don't think there's anything wrong with that master. Xu Jie said.

"If you can see the problem at a glance, then it's really a big problem!" Xu Luo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That master, it's a member of the Wei family!"

"What......? It's impossible!" The little fat man said in surprise: "I said the third brother...... Can you, not be too magical...... Although you are amazing enough, this kind of thing, it is said that you have no reason to know the Tao!"

Huangfu Chongzhi sat there and thought quietly, suddenly raised his head, glanced at Xu Luo, his eyes were full of appreciation, and said: "I understand, you have already laid out the northern side, but, I can't figure it out, where did you get the manpower?"

"Hehe......" Xu Luo smiled and said: "When the time comes, you will know the Tao when you see it, we are here, we will only stay for this night, and we will leave here early tomorrow morning, our own fiefdom will always build a city that belongs to us, and the place to build the city, I have already chosen!"

"Then ...... this city lord" Xu Jie glanced at Xu Luo with some hesitation: "Since he is from the Wei family......

"Who said he was from the Wei family?" Xu Luo waved his hand: "I mean the master next to him, the staff member...... It's the Wei family!"

"Isn't that different?" asked the little fat man.

"It's not the same. Huangfu Chongzhi replied from the side.

......

"Have you found out their status?" Mo Yun raised her eyebrows, looked at the scout in front of her with interest, and said with appreciation: "Remember your great merit!"

"Thank you, General!" the scout also had a happy look on his face, and said: "The subordinates saw that they had entered Syracuse City, and the city lord of Syracuse City personally went out of the city ten miles to meet them, so he had some plans in his heart, and his subordinates turned around and found a guard from Syracuse City at random, and gave him a few taels of silver. ”

"These people turned out to be the children of a group of top nobles in the Firmament Country, what a bunch of fat sheep!" the scout sighed.

"Let's get to the point!" Mo Yun glared: "Why did you learn badly from those horse thieves? It's only been a few days? Remember...... We are a regular army, not a bandit group! If I hear the word fat sheep again, I will cut you!"

The scout shrank his neck in fright, laughed a few times, and then said: "Among them, the first one is named Xu Luo, Snow City, including the land within a radius of hundreds of miles around Snow City, has become Xu Luo's fiefdom! By the way, this Xu Luo is the second son of Xu Ji, the general of the Firmament Country! The remaining ones are the eldest prince Huangfu Chongzhi, Xu Zhongtian's son Xu Jie, Sui Wanli's son Sui Yan, and the other is also the young master of the wealthy family in the imperial capital of the Firmament Kingdom. These people are extremely noble, and they came here to build Xu Luo's fiefdom. ”

The scout said, and then said, "By the way, the person that the eagle eye saw that day should be Xu Jie, the son of Xu Zhongtian, the general of the Firmament Empire!"

The scout's Hawkeye is the nickname of the scout who has excellent eyesight and never forgets it.

These people are all Mo Yun's real confidants, so if they have anything, they will say it directly.

"Okay, this time, I've worked hard for you, you go and rest. Mo Yun rubbed his forehead with his hand and sent the scout away, and then, his face showed a little tiredness, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Mo Yun, Mo Yun, it turns out that you have always been a arrogant guy, confident to the extent of conceit, underestimating the heroes of the world, this time...... A group of sons and brothers of the top wealthy families in the Firmament Country used only a few small tricks to knock you directly from the sky to the dust...... It's ridiculous that you still remember the wounded soldier who stood up for you and died in the war for a long time, and you have been sad for him for a long time...... It's ridiculous!"

Tears slowly flowed down Mo Yun's cheeks, Mo Yun still had a smile on her face, and tears became more and more: "Damn...... You liar, I hate you to death, you deceived people homeless and became a rogue...... Woohoo......"
