The Lu Mansion closed its door in broad daylight for no reason, and the maid nicknamed Er Qiao hurried back to the courtyard to tell the young lady this sensitive news. This young lady from Beiliang, whose reputation in Jiangnan Road is comparable to that of Xu Fengnian from Beiliang, is now lying on the couch

, holding a volume of "Snow in the First Field" in his hand, reading it with relish.

After Xu Zhihu heard Er Qiao's report, she felt a little absent-minded. She estimated that her brother would come to the Lu family in two or three days at most, so she didn't care about the Lu family's little actions.

In the years since Xu Zhihu married far away from Jiangnan, he has seen through all these wealthy and powerful scholars. Most of them have their eyes high above their heads. They rely on the shadow of their ancestors and do not want to make progress. They just rest on their laurels and rest on their laurels. The officials of the Qingliu who left the Jiangnan Province can be regarded as

Taking the position of admonishment officer in the capital as an example, he is completely different from the admonishment officer in the north. He likes to quarrel with the emperor over trivial matters every day. He is not afraid of the imperial staff or wearing a yoke in public. From time to time, he will make a desperate remonstrance by beating the pillar. It feels like

Just like they were afraid that the emperor would not be angry or annoyed, his adherence to orthodoxy and loyalty to etiquette was almost paranoid. No wonder many scholars said that officials from Jiangnan Province were the most like ministers.

However, Jiangnan Dao has indeed produced a small number of very powerful characters, who are proficient in contingency, have sophisticated means, and are able to manage the world and benefit the people. However, these civil servants and military generals who hold power all have nothing but troubles after walking out of Jiangnan Dao.

He didn’t want to come back, and he wasn’t keen on talking about mysteries. Among them was Lu Daolin, the head of the Lu family. But no one denied that it was these important ministers who really supported the blossoming of Jiangnan Road. As for Xu Zhihu’s father-in-law

Lu Xuanlang, a large number of so-called celebrities and scholars who are well-known in the north and south of the Yangtze River, do not have a high vision of the world. These old guys will only focus on the rise and fall of their clan.

In the eyes, the warriors who made great contributions to the dynasty during the Spring and Autumn War were just rough and barbarous generals. When generals were mentioned, they were often demoted rather than praised. They were especially unpopular here in Jiangnan Road.

Er Qiao, the little maid with a pretty face, said with anticipation on her face.

"Miss, when will His Royal Highness arrive in Yangchun City?"

The widow Xu Zhihu pinched the little girl's beautiful face with her fingers and said jokingly: "Pinch and count yourself. How many times have you asked me this question in the past two days? Is it ten times?"

The little girl blushed and said shyly: "I hope your highness can vent your anger on the young lady. Liu Liting and that shrew are so hateful."

Xu Zhihu casually threw the "First Snow" in his hand on the couch, straightened up, stretched, and said with a smile.

"It will only last a few days at most. The last letter from Fengnian has already arrived in Xiongbao County!"

The little girl Xu Zhihu bought from the roadside for ten taels of silver suddenly smiled and narrowed her big eyes, like a pair of crescent moons, with a charming smile on her face.

"When His Royal Highness comes, let's see if those people from the Lu family who bully the young lady still dare to be so arrogant. We must let them know how powerful they are."

Xu Zhihu covered his mouth and smiled sweetly, hugged the little girl's waist, put his chin on Er Qiao's forehead, and said dotingly.

Gu Rui

"I know you, girl, can feel sorry for others. You have suffered with me all these years!"

The little girl suddenly turned red with embarrassment and threw herself into Xu Zhihu's arms. The two lived together in Jiangnan Road. They relied on each other and suffered all the oppression and oppression. Xu Zhihu was okay, after all, he was Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang.

The eldest daughter of Xu Zhihu, so even if someone was pointing fingers and ridiculing her behind her back, they would not dare to treat her harshly. However, as Xu Zhihu's maid, Er Qiao was not so lucky and suffered all the looks and rejection. In the Lu family, she was

She is the most disliked maid. If it weren't for Xu Zhihu's protection, it would be very difficult for her to survive. That's why the little girl is so looking forward to Xu Fengnian's arrival.

The middle door of any sizable mansion is not always open, especially for a well-established wealthy family like the Lu family. Not just any guest will open the middle door, not to mention the governor of Huting County, or the governor of Yangzhou.

This kind of frontier official may not have this qualification and honor. It can be said that the Zhongmen is the face of a family. The Lu Mansion has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Counting the Qing guest staff, it supports hundreds of people, so no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.

In front of the Lu Family Mansion, Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie, wearing a pure Yang scarf on his head and cloth shoes on his feet, dressed as a Confucian scholar, dressed plainly and modestly, holding an ancient sword in his hands, with an ebony scabbard, wrapped in South Sea shark skin.

, unlike other famous swords that have strong sword aura, this sword does not feel the slightest chill when it rests in its sheath.

Lu Baijie glanced at the second housekeeper who was paralyzed by fright, and then at the middle door that had been demolished. He was not angry at all. He bowed slightly and said calmly: "Today, Lu Mansion has lost its hospitality. Lu Dongyang is here."

As a steward, you should be punished, but the distinguished guest broke down the door of my Lu family today, and the Lu family still needs to return the favor."

After saying that, Lu Baijie slowly pulled out the ancient sword in his hand, and a chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the whole place. Ning Emei was also a discerning person, so he immediately raised the Divination Halberd in his hand and stood in front of everyone. The Fengziying Cavalry behind him also

He drew out the Beiliang Dao, and the situation was tense for a moment. If he wasn't careful, it would be a fight.

Xu Zongjia took a look. After all, he and others came to visit relatives to support Xu Zhihu and not to make enemies, so it was not good to go too far. Xu Zongjia should not have done this in the first place.

He stepped forward to take care of it, but Xu Fengnian was not here at the moment, and the others were either servants or outsiders, so he had no choice but to get out of the carriage where he was alone.

"General Ning, put away your weapons. After all, we are also guests and we cannot lose etiquette!"

Although Ning Emei sometimes dislikes Xu Fengnian and refuses to follow his advice, he respects Xu Zongjia very much. Along the way, he learned a lot about the true meaning of martial arts from Xu Zongjia and was greatly inspired. He respected Xu Zongjia very much. After hearing this, he put away

He took away the weapon in his hand, and the Beiliang cavalry behind him also sheathed their swords.

Seeing that Xu Zongjia had come forward, Li Chungang got out of the carriage. With an impatient look on his face, he pinched his nostrils and stepped in front of Lu Baijie. He took a look at the opponent's ancient sword and said curiously.

"This is Yang Yuzhang's sword back then. This old boy was limited by his own qualifications. His swordsmanship was mediocre, but his vision was not bad. Back then, I fought against others. Every time I saw this guy watching the battle, I had a headache. It's just that

Yang Yuzhang once said that he would not accept any disciples in this life, so how do you get this last sword from Tangxi Sword Furnace?"

This middle-aged swordsman, who had just shown off his sharp edge, saw the old man in sheepskin fur, and he bowed his head to the end. When he bent down, he said respectfully:

"Probably because I was named Tangxi when I was young. I met my mentor by chance and was gifted the Ba Xiu Sword and half of the sword manual. Over the past thirty-six years, I have not dared to slack off for a day. My mentor admired the old senior very much and said that he is always young.

A snake can stand alone in the sword forest for fifty years. This junior has been fascinated by it for a long time, and today he boldly draws his sword and asks Senior Li for advice. A small part of it is because he has no choice but to be a descendant of the Lu family, and more because he wants to hone himself in the past thirty-six years behind closed doors.
