A distinguished guest came to the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.
The entire Beiliang Palace was in a state of excitement because of the arrival of this distinguished guest. Even when the emperor visited Beiliang, there was no such big fight.
At night, snow suddenly fell outside the house, and the snow fell very thickly. In the largest main hall of Beiliang Prince's Mansion, the ground dragon burned hot and was as warm as spring.
Xu Xiao, who was slightly hunched over, sat in the middle. To his left, Xu Fengnian slumped lazily on the chair.
On his right hand was Li Yishan, who was pale and coughing from time to time.
Lu Yuan was next to Xu Fengnian, sitting side by side with the expressionless Xu Weixiong. Li Yishan moved on, and Xu Xiao sat upright in the four names.
Seeing this scene, Xu Fengnian's eyes suddenly became dazed.
It would be great if Huang Maner and eldest sister were here too.
It would be great if I could eat like this for New Year’s Eve dinner this year.
How long has it been since we got together like this...
As everyone sat down, the servants outside the door filed in, silently placed the food on the table, and quietly retreated.
Lu Yuan glanced at the dishes on the table. They were not the delicacies he imagined, but they were green vegetables that were rare in winter. And judging from the color and aroma, they were definitely made by famous chefs.
Not long after, the dishes were served. Xu Xiao raised his cup and smiled at Lu Yuan: "Little friend Lu, my daughter escaped with her life thanks to your care. Please drink up this cup!"
"The King of Northern Liang is too polite." Lu Yuan said, neither humble nor overbearing: "It's just my responsibility."
"No matter what, you saved my little girl's life after all!" Xu Xiao waved his hand, and immediately three powerful servants came up carrying a tray covered with red cloth. Judging from the way they were struggling, the weight was probably not big. light.
"A little thought, let me express my gratitude." Xu Xiao smiled and the servant lifted up the red cloth.
In an instant, dazzling golden light filled the entire main hall.
The tray was full of gold ingots, as well as countless silver notes of large denominations.
"Mr. Lu, please accept your extraneous things." Li Yishan suddenly said.
When Lu Yuan saw this overwhelming wealth for the first time, his heart twitched a few times, but after silently circulating Beiming's Qi, he quickly calmed down.
He thought for a while, took out a few banknotes and put them in front of him, no more, no less, exactly 150,000 taels.
"What does Lu Xiaoyou mean?" Xu Xiao frowned slightly when he saw this.
"I only take the money I should take." Lu Yuan said calmly: "Please take back the rest."
"Indeed, some pickled food stained Mr.'s eyes." Li Yishan's voice was like gold and stone clashing, and he said stiffly: "Since Mr. doesn't like money, I wonder if Mr. likes martial arts?
If you want, Tingchao Pavilion will always be open to you, where you can browse all kinds of martial arts. "
"I appreciate the kindness." Lu Yuan shook his head.
He already has top martial arts skills in the world, so why do he need to learn other secrets?
"You don't want this, you don't want that. Do you want to become a monk?" Xu Fengnian suddenly put his arm on Lu Yuan's shoulder. A trace of worry flashed in Li Yishan's eyes when he saw this, but it was too late to dissuade him. He could only use his eyes to signal Xu Xiao not to act rashly. .
"Who said that if you don't want things, you have to become a monk?" Lu Yuan and Xu Fengnian clinked their wine glasses and laughed while drinking: "I want a lot of things, but what you gave me is not what I want."
"Isn't that a gift?" Xu Fengnian pointed at Lu Yuan and laughed, suddenly rolled his eyes and said slyly: "I know there is something you definitely want!"
"what?"
"My sister!" Xu Fengnian said enthusiastically: "You know martial arts, you are handsome, and you don't look like a straw bag. You are a good candidate to be my brother-in-law.
Think about it, you won't suffer any loss if you become the son-in-law of my Xu family! "
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Yuan Zuozong, who was sitting opposite, quickly drank to hide his smile;
Chu Lushan's fat face kept beating. He didn't know whether he was angry at Lu Yuan's disrespect for Xu Fengnian or because he wanted to laugh;
Qi Dangguo scratched his head stupidly, not understanding what happened.
Only Chen Zhibao sat in the corner with an expressionless face, seemingly unconcerned with everything that happened in the hall.
"Xu Fengnian!" Xu Weixiong shouted coldly: "Are you asking for a beating?"
Xu Fengnian quickly shrank back and said with a flattering smile: "Sister, I am doing this for your own good!"
Xu Weixiong did not speak, but silently touched the long sword placed beside the case.
Xu Fengnian quickly covered her mouth and stopped talking. She just kept winking at Lu Yuan.
"The naughty dog made little friend Lu laugh." Xu Xiao quickly smoothed things over and smiled at the somewhat helpless Lu Yuan: "Little friend Lu has a noble character and is admirable, but I have to repay him for saving his life.
Well, I owe you a request. "
As he spoke, Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, like a tiger pretending to be asleep, and said lightly: "Any request!"
"No adoptive father!" Chu Lushan was shocked and immediately stood up to object.
"Lu Shan, sit down." Xu Xiao's tone was full of unquestionable orders.
Chu Lushan looked troubled, but finally sat back.
But Yuan Zuozong suddenly stood up again and said in a deep voice: "Father, I think this return gift is too heavy."
"Is it heavy?" Xu Xiao asked Yuan Zuozong, but he kept looking at Lu Yuan.
"It's heavy." Yuan Zuozong said seriously.
A promise from the King of Northern Liang can be exchanged for a hereditary Dazhu Kingdom in Liyang!
In Beimang, you can get a one-word king!
Most people in the world hate Xu Xiao. Whether they are in Liyang or Beimang, most of their evaluations of Xu Xiao are "Xu Laizi, Xu Manzi, Xu Rentu", with little praise.
But no one has ever scolded Xu Xiao for being a man of bad faith.
Not to mention that everyone present is Xu Xiao's family confidant.
No one thought Xu Xiao would break his promise.
The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and all eyes fell on Lu Yuan, using invisible pressure to force Lu Yuan to refuse this thing that should not belong to him.
Lu Yuan seemed unconscious, pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay."
Xu Weixiong was stunned. Li Yishan and Xu Xiao looked at each other, and their eyes became cold and stern at the same time.
Chen Zhibao suddenly stood up, with a spear in his hand.
Behind Xu Xiao, there was also a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, holding a spear and staring at Lu Yuan.
Feeling the countless murderous glances overtly and covertly, Lu Yuan drank the wine in his glass as if no one else was watching, filled up another glass, raised it to Xu Xiao and said, "Please drink this glass to the full, King of Northern Liang."
Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and drank the glass in one gulp. His eyes looking at Lu Yuan were more appreciative and less murderous.
"It's settled." Lu Yuan also drank it down in one gulp, stood up and said with a smile, "I still have something to do, so I'll excuse you."
"Hahaha!" Xu Xiao burst out laughing, and Li Yishan also had a smile on his lips.
Others were a little confused when they heard the laughter. Xu Xiao coughed twice and finally stopped laughing. He nodded to Lu Yuan and praised: "He is indeed a good man.
Xiaonian is right, Xiaoyou Lu, think about it.
If you become my son-in-law of the Xu family, you will not suffer any loss! "
......
A banquet ended inexplicably.
Lu Yuan had already prepared for the temptation from the Northern Liang Palace.
After all, Xu Xiao, who has been accused of killing people, can survive until now because of his boldness and carefulness.
After clearing his suspicions, Lu Yuan wanted to take the money and leave, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Xu Xiao and his son to stay. Xu Fengnian ignored Xu Weixiong's black face, hugged Lu Yuan's thigh and called her brother-in-law, and finally received a severe beating.
Unable to refuse the hospitality, Lu Yuan had no choice but to stay in the guest room of Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
Late at night, a dim candle was lit on the top of Tingchao's attic, and the two of them sat opposite each other.
Xu Xiao tapped his leg lightly and asked Li Yishan, who kept drinking, "Yishan, what do you think?"
"I can't see through it." Li Yishan shook his head: "The way he behaves is not like that of a disciple of a sect family, but he has an inexplicable and aloof temperament about him, which is many times better than those of high-ranking disciples.
It's like a young dragon. If it encounters a storm, it can soar into the sky! "
"What about martial arts?"
"It's very strange." Li Yishan wiped his mouth and frowned: "The second princess said it was a fake Vajra, but the spies from Fushui House found a corpse of a fake Zhixuan. All the dead were almost drained of their true energy before they died. .
This skill is rather like the long-lost magic skill in Liyang Jianghu.
However, that magic power not only absorbs people's true energy, but also swallows their vitality, which is inconsistent with the death methods of those assassins..."
"Forget it, don't think about it!" Xu Xiao interrupted: "Don't waste your energy on this kind of thing.
Regardless of whether it is good or evil, I, Xu Xiao, will not refuse anyone who comes! "
"Are you attracted to this kid?" Li Yishan said slightly surprised.
"Not bad!" Xu Xiao beat his legs and laughed: "The more I look at this kid Lu Yuan, the more I like him. His appearance really has some of the charm of when I was young, but he can barely match the Weixiong. !”
Even though Li Yishan was used to Xu Xiao's occasional bragging, he still sighed and changed the subject: "It turns out that Lu Yuan really has nothing to do with this matter."
Xu Xiao's smile slowly faded, and she asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out?"
"The Fushui Fang report was from the remnants of the Forbidden Mountain Villa, but besides Yang Chunting, there was someone else who provided them with the information."
"Who?" Xu Xiao's voice was not high-pitched, but murderous intent was pouring out of him.
Li Yishan's expression remained unchanged and he continued: "Nothing was found. The other party's hands and feet were very clean. The spies from Fushui Fang just found out some clues and the line was broken."
Xu Xiao was silent for a moment with a straight face, and then suddenly said: "Let's check Liangshan first.
Dig out all the loaches like Yang Chunting hiding at the bottom of the mire.
Don't let Qingliang Mountain become as leaky as Liyang Palace. I can't afford to let people use my property as a back garden to wander around! "
"Understood." Li Yishan nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned and said, "What about traveling around the world when you were young?"
"Proceed as usual, I have my own arrangements." Xu Xiao, who had restrained his murderous intent, turned into an ordinary old man again and said softly: "My headache now is how to lock this dragon crossing the river firmly in our Qingliang Mountain."
"Then it depends on what the princess thinks." Li Yishan said with a slight smile in his eyes as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
