Xu Luo smiled and shook his head: "It's all some grudges from the past, it's okay."

Wang Chao glanced at Xu Luo and secretly complained in his heart: The grudges of the past...how old are you this year?

But he didn't know that what Xu Luo said was really not a lie. It would be okay to say that the relationship between Fengyuelou was an old grudge.

Seeing that Xu Luo was unwilling to say more, Wang Chao stopped asking more questions and immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome Xu Luo and his group.

In fact, Wang Chao was very disgusted and uncomfortable with this suddenly extra fief lord. From an administrative perspective, Snow City belongs to the Cangkong Empire, and his city lord is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Cangkong Kingdom. But from another perspective, the emperor conferred this large area of ​​land, including Snow City, to Xu Luo, so... in this territory, Xu Luo... is the real king!

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

This made Wang Chao feel a little uneasy. He studied hard for many years and was proficient in both literature, martial arts, and civil governance. He gradually climbed from a minor official to the position of the city lord. He was still very young and had a good future and future.

As long as you do well, it is unlikely that you will be appointed as a marquis and minister in the future, but there is no problem to go further.

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

Most importantly, Wang Chao felt that Xu Luo’s contribution was too easy, and the reward was too great!

"It turns out that the wealthy families are easy to do. If we civilians made these contributions, they would probably be overwhelmed by a baron, so they would be so happy that they couldn't sleep for days and nights. What about them? They were light and fluttering, from the marquis to the general, and then to the third-rank official of the dynasty... they were like eating and drinking water, and they were promoted!"

"It's just that, I'm not willing to live a peaceful life. I have to make trouble and return all the third-rank official status and the marquis to the court... It's really envious and hateful!"

However, Wang Chao would not show these emotions. During the meal, he chatted with everyone enthusiastically, talking about various strange stories in the north, which made the atmosphere very lively.

After the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, 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. Beside him was the master in the daytime.

"Lord, what do you think... what are these people? Will it affect the promotion of the lord in the future?" the master asked in a low voice.

Wang Chao's eyes flashed, he pondered for a while, and said, "The one who is most invisible among these people is not Xu Luo, but that little fat man."

"Oh? Is it the one named Liu Feng?" The master was a little surprised.

"That's right, that little fat man suddenly asked me today, are there any bandits here... Hey, I didn't have any mental preparation at that time, so I almost left." Wang Chao said.

"Oh, I remembered it. I added a few more words at that time, but then again, that little fat man was afraid that he would ask about it by accident?" said the master, "I don't think the eldest prince is the most unfathomable among them."

"Is the eldest prince... This person is indeed not simple. When I was studying in the imperial capital, he was still young and was rejected by a group of royal people. He didn't speak. He was often bullied and was huddled in the corner." Thinking of the days he studied at the Royal Academy, Wang Chao showed a faint smile on his face, and then said: "Later, the royal family, I only heard of the prince and the sixth prince, but I had never heard of the topic of the eldest prince... Oh, I can't say that there is no one."

"Is he obsessed with medicine by making pills?" The master smiled and continued: "And Xu Jie, who has been obsessed with iron and sword making since he was a child, can be called a genius in this regard. The sword he cast... I heard that even the emperor likes it very much, and it is hard to find a fortune in the market."

"That's right, Xu Luo... I've been weak since I was a child. A person like him was born in the General's Mansion in Zhenguo, which is really an anomaly." Wang Chao said, and continued: "This little fat man, before, I had an impression of him that he was an uncontrollable playboy. He teased good women on the streets of the imperial capital every day, and liked to smell the smell of others... Sui Yan, who was taciturn and almost didn't say a word, was said to be obsessed with mechanical techniques and was not good at dealing with people... It's really interesting to be able to get together with these five people."

"Actually, lord doesn't have to think too much. We are loved here and have a clear conscience. Even if Snow City has become the fief of the nobles, so what? lord, you are still an official of the empire or an emperor!" The master advised on the side: "Besides, as long as you do that, the lord will have a bright future in the future, what else can you worry about?"

When the master mentioned that, Wang Chao frowned slightly and seemed a little disgusted. He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, so Master should take a break early."

"Yes, lord." The master said goodbye and left.

Wang Chao was left alone, sitting quietly in the living room, murmured: "Does...I really want...to choose to do this?"

...

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

"Third brother, this city lord seems to be very flattering to you. He first went out of the city to greet him ten miles away, and then served with a rich banquet. He looked like 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 noble who has become the lord here. However, the third brother will leave a lot of power that originally belonged to him this time. I wonder if this young city lord will have some thoughts about this."

"It may not be possible to have an idea, but it is a little bit." Xu Luo smiled and said casually.

"Huh? What does it mean?" The few people all focused their eyes on Xu Luo.

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

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

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

"If you can see the problem at a glance, that would be a big problem!" Xu Luo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That master is from the Wei family!"

"What? This... is impossible!" The little fat man said in surprise: "I said third brother... can you? Don't be too magical... Although you are already magical enough, you don't know such things in a reasonable way!"

Huangfu Chongzhi sat there quietly thinking, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Luo, his eyes full of admiration, and said, "I understand, you have already made arrangements for the north side, but I can't figure out where did you get the staff?"

"Haha..." Xu Luo smiled and said, "At that time, you will know when you see it. We will only stay here for this night. We will leave here early tomorrow morning. Our own fiefdom will always build a city of our own. I have already chosen the place to build the city!"

"Then this city lord..." Xu Jie looked at Xu Luo hesitantly: "Since he is from the Wei family..."

"Who said he was from the Wei family?" Xu Luo waved his hand: "I mean the master around him, that aide... is from the Wei family!"

"Is this different?" asked the little fat man.

"Different." Huangfu Chongzhi replied.

...

"Since they are not aware of their identity?" Mo Yun raised her eyebrows, looked at the scout in front of her with great interest, and praised: "I remember you a great achievement!"

"Thank you, General!" The scout also said with joy on his face, "I saw that they entered Snow City, and the city lord of Snow City personally went out to greet them ten miles away, so he had some conspiracy in his heart. He turned around and found a guard from Snow City and gave him a few taels of silver. As soon as he inquired, he found out."

"These people are the children of a group of top nobles in the Cangqiong Kingdom. They are really a group of fat sheep!" the scout sighed.

"Tell the point!" Mo Yun glared: "Why did you learn bad things from those horse thieves? Just a few days ago? Remember... we are regular soldiers, not robber groups! If I hear the word "Fat Sheep" again, I will chop you down!"

The scout was so scared that he shrank his neck, and then said, "One of them, the leader is Xu Luo, Xuecheng, and the land within a radius of hundreds of miles around Xuecheng has become Xu Luo's fief! By the way, this Xu Luo is the second son of Xu Ji, the general of Cangkong Kingdom. The remaining few are the eldest prince Huangfu Chongzhi, Xu Zhongtian's son Xu Jie, Sui Wanli's son Sui Yan, and the other one is also a wealthy family in the imperial capital of Cangkong Kingdom. These people are extremely noble. They came here to build Xu Luo's fief."

The scout said, and then said, "By the way, the man that Tian Yingye saw should be Xu Jie, the son of Xu Zhongtian, general of the Cangqiu Empire!"

The hawk's eyes in the scout's mouth is the nickname of the scout who has excellent eyesight.

These people are Mo Yun’s true confidant, so they will say anything directly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work this time, go and rest." Mo Yun rubbed his forehead with his hands and sent the scout away. Then, he showed a bit of fatigue on his face. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Mo Yun, Mo Yun, it turns out that you have always been a self-esteem, with a level of self-confidence and underestimating the heroes of the world. This time... you are not wronged! A group of young men from the top wealthy families in the Sky Country used only a few small tricks to knock you straight from the sky to dust... What's ridiculous is that you still remember the wounded soldier who stood up for you for a long time and was sad for him for a long time... It's so ridiculous!"
