Xu Luo smiled and shook her head: "It's all about past grievances, it's okay."

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

But he didn't know that what Xu Luo said was really not a lie, and the relationship with Fengyuelou could be said to be old grievances.

Seeing that Xu Luo didn't want to say more, Wang Chao didn't ask any more questions, and immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Xu Luo and his party.

In fact, Wang Chao was very disgusted and not used to this sudden extra fief lord in his heart.From an administrative point of view, Xuecheng belongs to the Sky Empire, so he, the city lord, is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Sky Kingdom's court.But from another point of view, the emperor granted this large piece of land including Xuecheng to Xu Luo, so... in this land, Xu Luo... is the real king!

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

This made Wang Chao feel a little uneasy. He had studied hard for many years, and he was proficient in all aspects of civil affairs, military strategy, and civil governance. Step by step, he climbed from a small official to the position of city lord. He is still very young and has a good future.

As long as it is done well, although it is unlikely to be named a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, it is no problem to go further.

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

Most importantly, Wang Chao felt that Xu Luo's contribution came too easily, and the reward...was too great!

"Sure enough, it's the children of the rich and powerful who are easy to handle. If we ordinary people make these contributions, I'm afraid that if we give them to a baron, we will be so happy that we can't sleep for days and nights. What about others? It's light, from the marquis to the general, and then To be a member of the court at the third rank...it's like eating and drinking water, and you will be promoted!"

"Unfortunately, he still refuses to live in peace, so he has to make a fuss and return all the status of the third rank and the Marquis to the court... It's really enviable and hateful at the same time!"

However, Wang Chao would not show these emotions on his face. During the dinner, he chatted with everyone very enthusiastically, talking about various anecdotes in the north, which made the atmosphere very lively.

After the banquet, the guests and the host had a good time, and Xu Luo and others were sent to the back to rest.

Wang Chao was sitting in the living room, sipping tea with his eyes squinted. Beside him was the master during the day.

"My lord, what do you think... how about these people? Will it affect my lord's future promotion?" The master asked in a low voice from 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? The one named Liu Feng?" The master was a little surprised.

"That's right, that little fat man suddenly asked me today, is there any banditry here... Hey, I didn't have any mental preparations at the time, so I almost slipped my mouth." Wang Chao said.

"Oh, I remembered, and I added a few more sentences at the time, but then again, that little fat man probably just asked inadvertently?" The master said, "I think the eldest prince is one of them. The most unfathomable."

"The eldest prince... This person is indeed not simple. When I was studying in the imperial capital, he was still young, and he was rejected by a group of people from the royal family. He didn't speak, and was often bullied so that he would huddle in a corner by himself." Thinking of the days when he was studying in the Royal Academy, Wang Chao showed a faint smile, and then said: "Later, the royal family, I only heard that there was a crown prince and a sixth prince, but I never heard about the prince. The prince's topic... oh, I can't say no."

"Is he obsessed with refining elixir and medicine?" The master smiled and said, "And that Xu Jie, it is said that he was obsessed with forging iron and swords since he was a child, and he can be called a genius in this aspect. The sword he forged... I heard Even the emperor likes it very much, and it is hard to find in the market."

"That's right, what about Xu Luo... He has been weak since he was a child, and a person like him who was born in the residence of General Zhen Guo is really an anomaly." Wang Chao said, and then said: "This little fat man, before I My impression of him is that he is an inconspicuous dude who flirts with good women on the streets of the Imperial Capital every day, and likes to smell the smell of other people... That Sui Yan, who hardly speaks a word, is said to be obsessed with tricks and is not good at talking to others. Dealing with people... It's really interesting that these five people can get together."

"Actually, you don't need to think too much, my lord. We are here, loved by others, and we have a clear conscience. Even if Xuecheng has become a fief of nobles, so what? My lord, you are still an official of the empire, and you are still a member of the emperor!" The side persuaded: "Besides, as long as you do that well, the future will be bright for the Lord, so what else to worry about?"

When the master mentioned that matter, Wang Chao frowned unrecognizably, showing some disgust, he waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, master, let's go to bed earlier."

"Yes, my lord." The master bid farewell and left.

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

……

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

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

Xu Jie said from the side: "As the city lord, he doesn't need to offend a nobleman who has become the lord here, but the youngest will take away a lot of power that originally belonged to him when he comes here this time. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"I may not have the idea, but there are some ways to do it." Xu Luo smiled and said casually.

"Huh? What do you mean?" All the people focused on Xu Luo.

Xu Luo smiled and said, "Did you see the master next to the city lord today?"

Several people nodded, and Liu Feng asked: "Isn't the master quite normal? What's wrong?"

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

"If you can see the problem at a glance, then it is really a big problem!" Xu Luo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Then master, he is from the Wei family!"

"What? This...impossible!" The little fat man said in surprise, "I said third brother...can you, don't be too amazing...Although you are already amazing enough, but this kind of thing, ordinarily You have no reason to know!"

Huangfu Chongzhi sat there and thought about it quietly, then suddenly raised his head, glanced at Xu Luo, his eyes were full of admiration, and said, "I see, you actually have a plan for the north side, but, I 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 when you see it. We will only stay here for one night. We will leave here early tomorrow morning. Our own fiefdom must be established." A city of our own, I have already chosen the place to build the city!"

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

"Who says he's from the Wei family?" Xu Luo waved his hand, "I mean the master next to him, that staff...is from the Wei family!"

"Isn't it the same?" the little fat man asked.

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

……

"Have you found out their identities?" Mo Yun raised her eyebrows, looked at the scout in front of her with great interest, and praised: "I remember your great achievement!"

"Thank you, General!" The scout also said with joy on his face, "This subordinate saw that they had entered Xuecheng, and that the city lord of Xuecheng went out of the city to meet them in person, so he felt a little hesitant in his heart. I randomly found a guard from Xuecheng, gave him a few taels of silver, and found out as soon as I inquired about it."

"These people turned out to be the children of a group of top nobles in the Sky Kingdom, what a bunch of fat sheep!" the scout exclaimed.

"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 gang of bandits! Let me hear the word "Fat Sheep" again. I'll kill you!"

The scout shrank back in fright, laughed a few times, and then said: "Among them, the leader is named Xu Luo, and Xuecheng, including the land with a radius of hundreds of miles around Xuecheng, has become Xu Luo's fiefdom. By the way, this Xu Luo is the second son of Xu Ji, the great general of Cangqiong Kingdom! The remaining ones are the great prince Huangfu Chongzhi, Xu Jie, the son of Xu Zhongtian, Sui Yan, the son of Sui Wanli, and One is also the rich young master of the imperial capital of the Sky Kingdom. These people are all extremely noble, and they came here to build Xu Luo's fiefdom."

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

The eagle eye in the mouth of the scout is the nickname of the scout who has excellent eyesight and never forgets his memory.

These people are all Mo Yun's true confidantes, so they will speak out directly if they have anything to say.

"Okay, this time, thank you for your hard work, go and rest." Mo Yun rubbed her forehead with her hands, and sent the scout away. Then, with a look of tiredness on her face, she smiled wryly for a long time: " Mo Yun, Mo Yun, it turns out that you have always been a self-important guy, confident to the point of conceit, and underestimated the heroes of the world, this time...you are not wronged! A group of sons from the top wealthy families in the Sky Kingdom only used a few small tricks , just knocked you down from the sky to the dust... It's ridiculous that you still miss the wounded soldier who stood up for you and died in the war for a long time, and you were sad for him for a long time... It's so ridiculous!"

Tears slowly flowed down Mo Yun's cheeks, Mo Yun still had a smile on his face, and the tears grew more and more: "Damn...you liar, I hate you to death, you cheated me so much that I am homeless!" Going back, I became a bandit... woo woo..."
