"Ruan Surong, the commander of the Royal Guards."
"Ling Yan'er"
As soon as I entered the tent, I saw a man sitting in the upper seat. He had a burly figure and a resolute face.
Xu Chu, whose aura is unfathomable.
The two girls did not dare to neglect and immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, General."
Although they were the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Ranked from the third grade.
His official position is much higher than Xu Chu's.
After all, Xu Chu now only holds the title of General Huwei.
He rose to the rank of Wuyi Doctor in the military rank.
He was just a small military officer of the seventh rank.
But Xu Chu was not just a general under the command of the one in the north who was highly valued.
Take charge of the world's most elite formation.
Simultaneously.
Even by the underworld.
He is known as the number one person in the Heavenly Man Realm and an unrivaled powerhouse at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
As such.
How dare they be so arrogant?
Even their master, the Qingyuan Sword Immortal, had to treat Xu Chu with courtesy when he met him.
What's more, it's just the two of them.
"Haha."
With the presence of two women.
Xu Chu laughed loudly and said, "No need to be polite, my two lords. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, General."
Ruan Surong nodded.
After bowing again, he joined Ling Yan'er.
Sat down below.
But just after sitting down.
Ruan Surong could see that there were still some meat and drinks on the table on the other side.
Apparently, someone just left.
"Could it be him?"
Retracting her gaze, Ruan Surong and her junior sister looked at each other, and both thought of Li Changqing.
After all, Li Changqing's true identity.
He is one of the sixteen commanders of the Black Ice Platform and is also under the command of King Zhenbei. It is not surprising that he appears in Xu Chu's army.
"I didn't know the two adults were coming."
After the two girls sat down, Xu Chu asked, "What's the matter?"
Ruan Surong stood up after hearing this.
He bowed and said, "In reply to the general's words, the two of us came here on the orders of His Majesty."
talking.
Ruan Surong's face turned serious.
He took out an imperial edict from his bosom, held it high and said, "General Hu Wei, accept the edict."
"Imperial decree?"
Xu Chu frowned when he saw this.
He immediately understood what this meant. The empress was going to give him many rewards.
To win him over by promoting him to a higher position?
but.
Even after seeing the imperial edict, Xu Chu had no intention of standing up.
Still sitting in the upper seat.
He looked down at Ruan Surong calmly.
In his opinion.
I have always been the prince's man since ancient times. Why do I need the empress to reward me?
Besides, he had to kneel down to receive the order.
Is the empress worthy of it?
When the late emperor rewarded him, he never knelt.
What’s more, she is the empress.
The only person in this world who can make him kneel down willingly is the prince.
Seeing this, Ruan Surong and Ling Yan'er frowned slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in their eyes.
But there was no attack.
But after a cold snort.
He opened the imperial edict and read it in a slightly cold tone: "By the will of heaven, the emperor summons:
General Xu Chu is a brave and skilled warrior, well versed in strategy. He made many military achievements during the reign of Emperor Yuan. Now he is not afraid of danger and leads his troops to guard Xingqing Prefecture to deter villains. He has won my heart. I grant him the title of General History Doctor, confer the title of Marquis of Huwei, and grant him another Xiaohuandan. I decree this."
After reading the imperial edict.
Ruan Surong saw that Xu Chu was still looking at her calmly and had no intention of getting up.
Her pretty face suddenly turned cold.
He said coldly: "Marquis Huwei, accept the order."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Chu looked at the two girls with cold expressions on their pretty faces.
After a casual perfunctory sentence.
He slowly raised his hand, and the moment his fingers formed into claws, a powerful internal energy came out.
Take the imperial edict from Ruan Surong's hand.
Along with it, he grabbed an exquisite wooden box that smelled like medicine.
After all, it's something free, so don't miss it.
"you"
Ling Yan'er became furious when she saw this.
But remembering what the senior sister had told him before, he didn't dare to get angry and could only stand there and stare blankly.
Just now.
Outside the big tent, another voice reported: "Report! General, the King of Wu wants to see you."
"King Wu?"
The three people in the tent frowned when they heard this.
Xu Chu was surprised and asked, "Why did this guy come to see me?"
He has been in Xingqing Prefecture for several days.
But the King of Wu never appeared again except for one appearance on the day he arrived.
He also enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Too lazy to bother with King Wu.
But I never thought that he would come to find me today?
"Could it be."
"Is it because of that fellow Li Changqing?"
Xu Chu couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this.
He directed outside the tent, "Bring the person in."
Say it.
Xu Chu looked at Ruan Surong and the other girl again and saw that they had no intention of leaving.
He raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.
Since they want to see why the King of Wu came to look for me, just let them watch.
"Sister."
Ling Yan'er once again.
After giving Xu Chu a cold glare, he sat down angrily and whispered to Ruan Surong, "Isn't it said that the King of Wu and this person have always been at odds with each other, and they usually avoid each other as much as possible, so why did he come to my house today?"
"I don't know."
Ruan Surong frowned and said, "But I think it's because of what happened last night."
"Senior sister, what you mean is," Ling Yan'er was surprised when she heard this, "King Wu came here this time to ask Xu Chu to help him capture Li Changqing?"
Ruan Surong nodded.
He didn't say anything, but looked outside the big tent at the figure walking towards him.
A chill gradually rose in his eyes.
"Ok?"
The coldness in Ruan Surong's eyes.
Xu Chu looked at her in surprise.
He murmured uncertainly, "Could it be that the Empress knows something?"
Not as good as.
Why are these two people so hostile to the King of Wu?
Followed the King of Wu out of the tent.
The coldness in the two girls' eyes also subsided and their expressions became indifferent.
"Hahaha."
"Zhongkang, I'm here to drink with you."
Without waiting for the soldiers outside the tent to report, the King of Wu laughed loudly and held two jars of good wine.
He strode into the tent.
He smiled at Xu Chu and said, "We didn't get to drink last time, but this time, Zhongkang, you have to accompany me for a drink. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we should not leave until we are drunk."
However, the King of Wu had just finished speaking.
His expression froze slightly, and he could see the presence of Ruan Surong and the other girl.
"So you two adults are here too." King Wu frowned, his eyes slightly sank, and he said in a deep voice without any intention of being polite: "I want to reminisce with Zhongkang. If you two adults have nothing important to do, can you please give me some face and come back tomorrow?"
"No."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Surong uttered two words in a cold tone.
The King of Wu's face suddenly fell and he looked at her coldly.
He said angrily, "What do you mean, sir?"
"We came here today to look for Marquis Huwei in accordance with His Majesty's order. King Wu wanted to drive us away as soon as he arrived. Does he think his own affairs are more important than His Majesty's?" Facing the angry King Wu, Ruan Surong raised her eyes slightly.
With a half-smile, he said, "Or does the King of Wu no longer take Your Majesty seriously?"
