Chapter 196 Going to Beijing to report on work, Master and Disciple confront each other

Zhao Ya was a little surprised when he saw the invitation from Shang Luoluo.

Because since he came back from Wuxiang City, Shang Luoluo has not shown his face.

Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Shang Luoluo sent someone to send a congratulatory letter to Zhao Ya, there was almost no news.

Why is another invitation suddenly sent to me now?

But since you invited yourself over, it proves that something is definitely going on.

Although he knew many people in the county, there were only a few whom he could truly call his friends.

It happened that Shang Luoluo was the only one, so Zhao Ya did not hesitate, simply packed up and left as promised.

Shang Mansion.

Over the past year and more, the entire Yunxiao County has undergone earth-shaking changes, but this mansion seems to be independent of the world, without any changes.

Zhao Ya did not enter through the main entrance, but chose to fly in directly, and then arrived at the bamboo forest garden at the back with ease.

When he landed in the courtyard, a chuckle came from the room.

"Speaking of which, do you go to other girls' houses and directly climb over the wall to get in like this?"

Hearing these ridiculing words, Zhao Ya's heart instantly calmed down.

Because being able to make fun of it means that the matter is not big, at least not that serious.

Then he also laughed.

"In this situation, for example, if this girl has prepared wine and food and is waiting in the house, I will naturally hurry up and rush over as soon as possible."

With that said, Zhao Ya stepped into the house.

There was a table by the window, and sitting next to it was a young girl, elegant and charming in a long skirt, it was Shang Luoluo.

On the table were several exquisite dishes to go with wine, as well as a jar of Feixian Brewing.

After seeing Zhao Ya, Shang Luoluo smiled lightly.

"It came in time. The wine and food have just been prepared and taste great. Let's try it first."

Zhao Ya was not polite and sat directly opposite Shang Luoluo, picked up his chopsticks and tasted it.

"How is the taste?"

After Zhao Ya took a few bites, Shang Luoluo asked.

"Well, not bad, but it doesn't seem to be Feixianju's craftsmanship. Is this another restaurant in the city that hired a chef?" Zhao Ya said while eating.

"I made it myself." Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

Zhao Ya was stunned and looked up at Shang Luoluo.

"Why are you looking at me with that strange look? In your opinion, I'm just a pampered young lady who doesn't have a finger in the sun?" Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"No, I'm just a little surprised."

After saying that, Zhao Ya put down his chopsticks and looked at Shang Luoluo solemnly.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Shang Luoluo sighed slightly, "As expected, I still couldn't hide it from you."

Then she raised her eyes and stared at Zhao Ya, "I'm leaving."

"Where to go?"

"Go to the capital."

"What?"

"My father's term has expired, and he will go to Beijing to report on his duties after the year."

Upon hearing this reason, the expression on Zhao Ya's face instantly became very strange.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? To be honest, I think it's ridiculous too." Shang Luoluo said with a bitter smile.

"After all, in all the counties in the world, who would take Dayan's order seriously? But my father is different. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and has always regarded himself as a loyal minister and good general. So after the order was transferred this time, he was ready immediately. Set off back to Beijing."

Zhao Ya suddenly didn't know what to say. After a long silence, he asked, "Is there any danger after going to the capital?"

Shang Luoluo shook his head, "There shouldn't be any danger. Although Wei Hongbin died in Yunxiao County, this matter has nothing to do with my father. The Wei family shouldn't be looking for trouble for this, and even if they want to, they won't. You have to weigh it up."

"After all, my father also has friends in the capital."

"When will you leave?" Zhao Ya asked again.

"That's it for the next few days, no later than this month."

"Then... I wish you a safe journey!" Zhao Ya smiled slightly and then picked up the wine glass.

A look of disappointment flashed in Shang Luoluo's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Then he also picked up the wine glass and smiled.

"Thanks!"

Shang Luoluo drank the glass of wine quickly, almost finishing it in one gulp, and then she choked and coughed, and her face turned red.

Zhao Ya handed over a piece of paper. After Shang Luoluo took it, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and laughed.

"Actually, I wanted to pay you a visit after you came back from Dancing Elephant City, but I didn't expect that the capital's transfer order would come down at this time. I have been busy with this for a long time, and I didn't finish it until today."

"So this meal should be the last meal we have before we say goodbye. I don't know when we meet again!"

At the end of the sentence, Shang Luoluo looked a little sad.

In this era of inconvenient transportation and no mobile phones, an inconspicuous farewell may be an eternal farewell, let alone going to the capital thousands of miles away from the county.

If nothing else, they may never see each other again.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, nor did he try to persuade him too much. He just stayed silent and drank the jar of Feixian Brewing with Shang Luoluo, then stood up and said.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first!"

Shang Luoluo was already a little drunk at this time. She looked at Zhao Ya with drunken eyes and suddenly started to giggle.

"Go, it's time for me to sleep too!"

Zhao Ya nodded, jumped out of the window, and disappeared after a few leaps.

Shang Luoluo looked at the direction he was leaving with his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, Zhao Ya returned to his small courtyard next to the martial arts hall.

Zui'er had already fallen asleep, but when Zhao Ya had just fallen, a voice suddenly came from under the tree.

"I'm home?"

Zhao Ya was slightly startled.

Because he didn't notice anyone in the courtyard before, but soon he bowed his head and shouted.

"Master!"

Sitting under the tree was Lu Dingtai.

I saw him looking at Zhao Ya, and seemed to smell the alcohol on his body, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When do Shang Jingchuan and his daughter plan to leave?"

Zhao Ya was shocked again.

I went out after receiving Shang Luoluo's invitation. I didn't have any contact with anyone from the martial arts school during the whole process, so how did the master know?

"You underestimate Master's ability too much. I heard that the Imperial Court of Dayan issued a transfer order to Shang Jingchuan before the Chinese New Year, and planned to transfer him back to Beijing to take up a post. Now it's almost time, at the latest They should leave at the end of this month!”

Zhao Ya finally understood that although his master Lu Dingtai seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs and only wrote and maintained his health in the martial arts hall all day long, in fact he knew everything about the major and minor affairs that happened in the county.

Zhao Ya didn't hide anything, so he roughly told the story of how Shang Luoluo invited him over for dinner.

After listening, Lu Dingtai sighed.

"Shang Jingchuan is pedantic by nature and doesn't know how to adapt. I didn't expect that the daughter he gave birth to would be so smart and alert."

After sighing with emotion, Lu Dingtai looked at Zhao Ya.

"Do you know why I have to wait for you to come back late at night?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Zhao Ya was indeed a little confused.

Although I traveled late at night and had a drink with Shang Luoluo outside, it wasn't too much.

At least Master Lu Dingtai shouldn't be alerted to come over in person.

Lu Dingtai smiled and suddenly changed the topic, "How is your current level of cultivation?"

"It's still half a step to the five realms!" Zhao Ya replied honestly.

Although the recent period of hard training has improved all aspects of martial arts skills, overall the progress is not too great.

This also means that Zhao Ya has entered a bottleneck period.

"Come on, attack me with all your strength and let me see what your current strength is!" Lu Dingtai said.

"Now?"

"That's right, now, stop talking nonsense and take action!"

Zhao Ya didn't dare to ask anymore.

Lu Dingtai has always had a very hot temper, especially when it comes to taking action.

Since he said that he would use all his strength, Zhao Ya did not dare to hide his secrets at all.

He took a deep breath, and with the blessing of his heart's gift of turning his heart into red, the energy and blood in his body boiled instantly.

Not only that, the sea of ​​blood stored in the liver also burst out.

"Master, be careful!"

Zhao Ya felt that the muscles all over his body were rattling, and his figure even increased by several inches. The powerful momentum even caused the air around him to form small cyclones.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dingtai's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Good boy, come here and let me see how much you weigh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ya took action.

Speaking of which, this was Zhao Ya's first time to attack with all his strength, and he did it when his whole body was adjusted to its peak state.

There was nothing flashy about this punch, only extremely powerful, and it instantly crossed the distance between the two and hit Lu Dingtai.

"Well done!"

Even though the fist was about to hit him, Lu Dingtai still did not forget to praise him, and then in the blink of an eye, he raised a single palm and forcefully caught Zhao Ya's punch.

Boom!

There was an extremely dull loud noise, and an invisible ripple spread rapidly around the two of them.

The nearest stone table bore the brunt of the impact and was instantly shattered into small pieces the size of a baby's fist. Then the water tank and flower pond not far away was not spared and was shattered into pieces.

boom!

When most of the wall was collapsed, the power of the shock wave was completely released.

Looking at the courtyard, it was a mess.

Except for the stone bench where Lu Dingtai was sitting and the big tree behind him, everything was gone.

This loud noise naturally woke up Zui'er in the house.

She thought there was an earthquake, so she put on her clothes and ran outside.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Zhao Ya confronting Lu Dingtai. He couldn't help but be startled, then stopped and shouted.

"Master, Brother Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"

These words were like a clarion call to withdraw troops on the battlefield. Zhao Ya took a few steps back, his face flushed and his arms trembling slightly.

On the other hand, Lu Dingtai was still sitting on the stone bench, his whole body motionless.

It can be said that the judgment is made.

Zhao Ya was impressed in his heart and couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "Master, I lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clicking sound, and the stone bench under Lu Dingtai finally could not withstand the pressure, and cracks appeared.

Then I heard Lu Dingtai burst out laughing.

"Actually, it's not like you lose. After all, I'm higher than you in terms of realm. You can force me to use 70% of my strength to deal with it with the strength of half-step five realms. You can't even save the stone bench under you. This shows your strength. I’m already proud of myself!”
