I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Xiping County, the prefectural governor's office.

A secret report was quickly delivered to the Prince of Xiping.

After the Prince of Xiping opened it and glanced at it, he burned it.

"That piece of trash!"

The Prince of Xiping had a cold and stern look in his eyes.

I thought that entrusting the task to this guy would be fine, but he still messed it up in the end.

Even the Prince of Xiping couldn't do anything about it, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"Have someone take care of the tails; kill everyone associated with that farm."

"Let's not touch Lu Xuan for now. The more we do, the more mistakes we'll make."

"wait!"

"Wait until Yang Kai takes control of the Qinghe Sword Sect."

"We'll make our move inside the Guanlan Ancient City Ruins."

"Three days is enough time for Yang Kai to prepare."

The Prince of Xiping spoke.

As a major undertaking that has been planned for so long, we absolutely cannot allow any unexpected situations to arise because of some minor grievances.

The ability to remain patient and restrained at critical moments is extremely important.

Prince Xiping doesn't mind enduring it a little longer!

A small leak will sink a great ship.

"yes!"

A subordinate responded, and then disappeared from the palace.

The failure of the Black Demon General's operation was a rather severe blow to the King of Xiping.

One reason is that subsequent actions will obviously become more complicated.

Not only Jinyuan City, but all the other cities under its jurisdiction will also be on guard.

Other city lords will surely be alert to similar incidents.

Today, there are a total of thirteen large cities in Xiping County.

Among the thirteen cities, Jinyuan City is considered the best, belonging to the top tier.

Therefore, Jinyuan City was also a very important resource city for the King of Xiping!

Therefore, it is extremely important to have it in hand.

It seems that the only option left is to proceed with the Guanlan Ancient City Ruins project.

The only solution is to replace the current batch of blood.

Only then can he better control these thirteen cities.

Guanlan Ancient Town was also a key part of this trip.

Dealing with these people was just a side effect.

Most importantly, he wants to retrieve the ancient treasures inside.

What's inside is what he truly cares about.

However, this incident also made the Prince of Xiping realize that Lu Xuan was a very capable person. If he could win him over, the Prince of Xiping would not mind paying some price.

"Doesn't that old man like women?"

"I'll send him a few women!"

The Prince of Xiping's eyes lit up.

Dealing with men is often very simple.

Once you grasp it, you can easily control it.

Furthermore, judging from Lu Xuan's appearance, he is a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness.

If we can place more people in the ranks, then naturally there will be many more unexpected benefits.

Sometimes, it's not necessary to use harsh methods.

Dongyan County, the county seat, Fengwu Hall.

Chu Xiao, with a serious expression, was wearing soft armor, which was also stained with blood.

His delicate features now bore a chilling, murderous aura.

Recently, a group of bandits led by martial artists has appeared in the area surrounding Dongyan County, specializing in kidnapping and plundering civilians.

Therefore, Chu Xiao, who had just taken office, was ordered to arrest these people.

After three days and three nights of waiting in the wild, they finally managed to capture all of them.

Some were killed, some were arrested.

A bandit gang led by a second-rank martial artist was completely wiped out at this moment.

Chu Xiao's victory made the people of Fengwu Hall look at her with new respect.

I thought Chu Xiao was just someone who had been transferred here by higher-ups to gain experience, or perhaps a young lady from some wealthy family who had been sent here to gain experience, treating this battlefield as a complete joke.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiao displayed decisiveness and ruthlessness on the battlefield.

Their exceptional combat skills also won everyone's sincere admiration.

If it weren't for Chu Xiao's proper command this time, there would have been considerable casualties.

But now, they have wiped out a bandit gang led by a martial artist with no casualties.

He became famous overnight.

In the private rest room, Chu Xiao removed his blood-stained armor and rubbed his aching bones.

Then he went into the bathtub and enjoyed a comfortable medicinal bath.

The medicinal powders used in these baths are all secret recipes from Fengwu Hall, which can quickly restore energy and blood circulation.

Chu Xiao leaned against the edge of the bathtub, reflecting on everything she had now.

That's how they achieved their current status and strength.

It was all because of Lu Xuan's protection.

"I wonder how my godfather is doing lately."

"It's a pity that the leave for Fengwu Hall is too short, and I've only been here for a short time, so I can't get away for now."

On one hand, she missed Lu Xuan.

On the other hand, I've thought about it.

The experience Lu Xuan gave her was unlike anything she had ever had before.

It was even more enjoyable than cultivation.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Chu Xiao...

Then they heard a knock on the door.

"Xiao Chu, it's me."

A mature woman's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Is that Commander Liang?"

Hearing this voice, Chu Xiao was puzzled. Could it be that a mission had failed? He immediately went forward and opened the door.

Then I saw a gentle woman dressed in plain clothes, exuding a quiet and serene air, standing at the door, holding a brocade box in her hands.

Her thick, black hair was styled in a bun, and her almond-shaped eyes were so captivating that one glance was enough to make you fall for them.

Liang Zixin.

Chief Flag Officer of Fengwu Hall, Dongyan County.

The official ranks in Fengwu Hall are different from those in the imperial court.

From lowest to highest rank, the ranks are: Junior Flag Officer, General Flag Officer, Centurion, Thousand-Household Officer, and Commander.

The small flags are divided into three classes: second class and first class!

Back in Wuling County, Chu Xiao was merely a second-class sergeant.

Now they've been relegated to Dongyan County and have become a first-class minor officer.

He also secured a preliminary nomination for deputy commander-in-chief.

It is equivalent to the commander of a first-class sergeant.

In terms of rank, they are one level higher than a normal first-class sergeant, and are being groomed to become a general sergeant.

The focus is more on Chu Xiao's command ability and his ability to adapt to changing situations.

When Chu Xiao first arrived in Dongyan County, many people were unconvinced, thinking that he was just there to gain experience. But now it seems that he has real skills.

Several battles were fought very well.

Liang Zixin is also Chu Xiao's superior.

Chu Xiao belongs to Liang Zixin's team.

"Lord Liang."

Chu Xiao bowed to Liang Zixin.

This is the official residence of the Fengwu Hall, separated by gender. Even a first-class sergeant like Chu Xiao has his own room.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Liang Zixin looked at Chu Xiao with a smile.

"No, this operation went quite smoothly."

Chu Xiao shook his head and said.

He added one last sentence.

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

"Hehe, it's not that I care about you, it's that you have friends who have come from afar to show their concern."

Liang Zixin said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.

Liang Zixin didn't keep him in suspense any longer and handed a sealed box to Chu Xiao.

"For me?"

Chu Xiao couldn't recall for a moment who had come from afar and asked General Liang to bring the things to her.

When she saw the signature on the seal, which read "Lu," she was slightly startled.

Could it be that...?

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.

Liang Zixin saw the change in Chu Xiao's eyes and smiled slightly.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. You should get some rest. There's nothing to do these next few days."

After Liang Zixin finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Chu Xiao quickly came to her senses, took a few steps forward, and then stepped back.

Back in the room, I couldn't wait to open the box.

"Pills!?"

"This aura... it's from a fourth-grade elixir!"

"It's a fourth-grade elixir given to me by my godfather!"

The fact that someone was sent from thousands of miles away to deliver a fourth-grade pill, and specifically asked Liang Zixin to give it to her, shows that the arrangements were very proper. If this thing had fallen into the hands of someone else, it might have been sold long ago.

He must be a trustworthy person.

Of course, Chu Xiao also didn't know how Lu Xuan knew Liang Zixin.

Feeling the fourth-grade pill in front of him.

What moved Chu Xiao even more was that Lu Xuan remembered her sentiment.

"I thought my godfather had already forgotten about it."

Chu Xiao's nose tingled with emotion.

A happy smile graced her lips.

"A fourth-grade elixir... my godfather must have poured a tremendous amount of effort into me!"

"I absolutely cannot let my godfather down."

Chu Xiao thought to himself.

Looking at the pill in his hand, his expression gradually became serious.

"Taking this fourth-grade pill... should give me a chance to break through to the third grade!"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.

She's not one to be just a pretty face.

We've finally achieved our current status after much hardship.

The path to promotion is right beneath your feet.

With Lu Xuan's help, I should be thinking about climbing to a higher and farther position.

Instead of simply reaping the benefits without effort, they became lazy and complacent.

"I'll thank my godfather properly when we get back."

Chu Xiao thought to himself.

Put the pills away safely.

It's just waiting for the crucial moment to make a breakthrough.

Good things should be used to their fullest potential.

Jinyuan City.

After resolving the matter, Lu Xuan went to Gu Yun Pharmacy to find out more about the situation from Xu Jing.

Although the city lord's mansion is also investigating.

But you can't necessarily trust everything about it.

Ultimately, one needs to have some of their own intelligence.

Otherwise, people can easily treat you like a monkey and make fun of you.

Ultimately, you still need to have your own ears.

It's been a few days since I last saw you.

Xu Jing's figure appeared even more charming.

In addition, Xu Jing naturally possesses the aura of a superior, strong woman, and appears aloof and superior in front of outsiders.

However, in front of Lu Xuan, he could only bow his head and put his hands on the ground.

The contrast between before and after gave Lu Xuan a strong sense of exhilaration.

Half an hour later.

Xu Jing rubbed her reddened knees, gave Lu Xuan a charming look, and then went to the back to wash up.

"Sir, you're getting younger and younger, and you seem to be living longer and longer!"

Xu Jing looked at Lu Xuan and said.

Lu Xuan smiled smugly upon hearing this.

"That's all thanks to you guys."

Lu Xuan gently rubbed Xu Jing's cheek.

He then took a sip of light tea.

"How much have you found out about these Black Demon Army members?"

Lu Xuan asked.
