Early the next morning, when Xu Luo and the others had breakfast and were about to bid farewell to Wang Chao, the lord of Syracuse City, Wang Chao quietly came to the place where Xu Luo and the others lived.

When they saw Wang Chaoshi, Xu Luo and the others almost didn't recognize him at first. It was hard to believe that the beggar in front of him could be the handsome young city lord from yesterday.

"City Master Wang...how did you dress like this?" the little fat man looked at Wang Chao in surprise and asked.

At this moment, Wang Chao knelt down in front of Xu Luo and the others with a plop, and said in a deep voice, "Please help me, my lord!"

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

But Wang Chao knelt there and said in a deep voice, "Young master doesn't agree, I dare not get up."

Xu Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously: "City Master Wang, if you have anything, you should always speak up first. If you are like this, you won't be afraid of being seen by others?"

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

"Master, you may not know that the surrounding area of ​​your fief is already in crisis. Not only are there a large number of people arranged by Prime Minister Wei... There are also a group of thugs from the south... No, I feel that it is a The army!" Wang Chao said solemnly: "They have strict discipline, they advance and retreat well, and they come and go like the wind, as if... they want to disturb the situation in the north."

Although Xu Luo already knew some things before, but obviously not as clear as City Lord Wang. Hearing this, he couldn't help but get serious. He looked at City Lord Wang who dressed himself as a beggar, and asked lightly: "Why would City Lord Wang Suddenly dressed like this and came to tell me these things? Offending Xiang Wei...For City Lord Wang, it seems...not a good decision."

Wang Chao smiled bitterly and said, "But if you offend the young master, I'm afraid Wang will die without a place to bury him."

"Am I so scary?" Xu Luo scratched his head, showing a hint of innocence.

Wang Chao looked at Xu Luo, and said with a bitter face: "The young master is wise and powerful. He led a team of martial spirits to shake up the entire southern war situation. While talking and laughing, the Dayan Empire's army was wiped out, so don't be humble. Although Wang is dull , but also understand the truth that the mantis arm cannot stop the car."

"City Master Wang's words are a bit too flattering to me. It's not as amazing as you said. It's just a coincidence." Xu Luo said, looked at City Master Wang and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I... I'm just a little city lord. I don't have many soldiers on hand, and there are people watching around me. It's my best effort to be able to escape and come here to deliver a letter to the young master." Wang Chao said bitterly: " Wang wanted to come here in the middle of the night yesterday, but he was being watched too closely, even now, he has to go back quickly, otherwise he will cause the other party's suspicion, and I'm afraid something will happen."

"Afraid of them being a bird? Isn't that the shit master next to you? If you are offended, I will go over and kill him with a single knife!" The little fat man said domineeringly.

"Don't talk nonsense, things are not that simple, do you really think everyone else is a fool?" Xu Jie gave the little fat man a white look, and then said to Wang Chao: "No matter what, I still have to thank City Lord Wang for coming to warn."

Wang Chao smiled wryly and said: "I did it just to protect myself. I have been a small official and I have come to today step by step. I originally maintained a neutral position, but since I sat in the position of the city lord, I have never been attracted by various forces. Broken. I was a little complacent before, but gradually...it turned into fear."

"It's just standing in line, what's there to be afraid of?" The little fat man interjected again.

Wang Chao shook his head and said, "If only it were that simple. Now that there are undercurrents in the court and the forces of civil and military groups are fighting each other, if you are a little careless, 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 side with Prime Minister Wei. After all, with your status, no one can easily touch you."

Wang Chao glanced at Xu Luo, and thought to himself: If someone else said this, I might believe it, but from you, would I dare to believe it?

Wang Chao stayed up almost all night last night, hesitating all the time, unable to make up his mind.

There are two paths before him, the first one is to follow Prime Minister Wei Feng wholeheartedly, although all kinds of rumors about the Wei family are quite unfavorable to the Wei family recently.But as long as anyone who is familiar with the national conditions of the sky kingdom knows very well that Wei Feng will not be in any danger if the emperor reigns for a day!

So from this point of view, it is still a good choice to follow Wei Feng, and as long as he completes what Wei Feng told him this time, he can be reused later!

As a man with small ambitions, this is a temptation that is hard to resist!

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

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

He is very clear about a truth: the wolves in the east are cannibals, and the wolves in the west are definitely not vegetarians!

In this way, he was left with only the second way to go.

That is... to fall to Xu Luo!

In the eyes of many people, this may be quite unwise.

How could a 17-year-old boy be the opponent of Wei Feng, an old fox with power all over the world?

But it was such a 17-year-old boy who hardly relied on the power of his family, so he made the whole Wei family go crazy, and beat the whole Wei family several times without any power to fight back!

The most recent time, even above the Golden Palace, Wei Fengqi vomited blood face to face!

Let me ask, who else in the entire empire can do this?

Who else?Can Wei Feng be able to retreat completely after vomiting blood in anger?

Only the boy in front of me!

"Ambush Xu Luo?" Wang Chao thought it was a bit ridiculous. This young man came back alive from the battlefield in the south where blood and corpses were scattered all over the field. Would he be the kind of easy-going person?Will he be easily ambushed and killed?

Not to mention that Xu Luo's father and brother are now in the north. Although the soldiers are not involved in politics, if something happens to Xu Luo, Wang Chao can fully imagine Xu Ji and Xu Su's reaction.

Nonsense nonsense in politics...that's all to fool the common people, if you don't believe me, anyone who has the guts to try it!

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

So, there was his choice this morning.

"However, since you are willing to trust me and make this choice, 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 seriously, and said with a smile : "Xu Luo remembered the feelings of City Lord Wang in his heart!"

With such a gesture, Wang Chao was actually waiting for Xu Luo's words. Hearing this, he saluted Xu Luo deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Since Wang has voted for the young master, all things are naturally based on the young master's interests. I The master next to me..."

"Why move him? As long as you don't expose him, just keep him and give him some interesting news..." The little fat man laughed and said, "This is a ready-made talent, why not use it?"

When Wang Chao heard it, his eyes lit up immediately. Looking at the little fat man, he gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Tall!"

Xu Luo and his group left Xuecheng quietly. Wang Chao, who has been able to operate in Xuecheng for many years, of course has his own channels. It is not difficult for him to leave for a while without being noticed.

"Unexpectedly, people say that those who know the current affairs are outstanding, this Wang Chao... is really a person who knows the current affairs!" On the way, the little fat man leaned on the carriage and sighed.

"This is a smart man." Xu Jie said.

Huangfu rushed to glance at Xu Luo, and then said, "I'm probably scared by your notoriety."

Xu Luo looked aggrieved: "Where did I get such a bad name? I have always kept a low profile."

puff……

The others all looked at Xu Luo speechlessly, slandering in their hearts: Are you low-key?If you are still low-key, aren't we even more low-key?

"The area where we are going to build the city is relatively open. It is backed by a big mountain and there is a river in front. I let people see that place. It is very suitable for building a huge castle." Xu Luo changed the subject.

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

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

Huangfu Chongzhi remained silent. As the eldest prince, he naturally knew more about the internal situation of the empire than ordinary people, especially his aloof father, who skillfully used the emperor's mind to control all capable ministers under his control. between.

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

It's not a temper at the mercy of others!

The current situation is fine, but once the war in the north is settled and the Xu family returns to the imperial capital with their amazing military achievements, how could the emperor tolerate such a thing of great achievements?

Definitely something to do.

Xu Luo... how could she tolerate it?

"Perhaps...leaving would be the last choice of the Xu family." Thinking in his heart, Huangfu Chongzhi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

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

Huangfu Chongzhi smiled wryly and shook his head: "This matter must be brought up again!"

Xu Jie gave the little fat man a hard look, and blamed him for being too unscrupulous. No matter what, Huangfu Chongzhi's body was full of royal blood.Although everyone is as close as brothers, but the little fat man said this, except for putting heavy pressure on Huangfu Chongzhi, it has no benefit.

Xu Luo smiled and said, "I'll talk about the future."

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

"Someone is fighting!" The little fat man seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and exclaimed, "Damn... that woman is so fierce!"

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

"Third brother, this little girl dares to cause trouble on your territory!" The little fat man has always been afraid of chaos in the world, and looked at the woman in white with bright eyes: "Let's take her down and question her, maybe A spy can be found!"
