Chapter 21 Bai Family
Bai Fanyu was the first to raise his glass and said with a smile: "Your Majesty." The senior members of the Bai family followed suit and raised their glasses. The old envoy, who had been looking at the dancing girls in the hall, seemed to have just come to his senses. He raised his glass and said, "No need to be polite."
After drinking a cup, Bai Fanyu said: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the extraordinary ceremony. Our Bai family has invited the governors of the three counties around Ruyang, the Guo family of Lin'an County, the Zhao family of Yecheng County, and the Gao family of Gaoyang County. This can be said to be a grand event that has not happened in Ruyang for hundreds of years. I hope that the envoy will honor me tomorrow and attend the extraordinary ceremony of my Bai family!"
The old man showed an incomprehensible smile and said: "This is natural. Congratulations to the geniuses who have broken through to the extraordinary realm! However... the reward given by the Crown Prince this time is different from the previous ones."
Everyone in the Bai family looked happy when they heard this, thinking that Bai Xiuyu had achieved a breakthrough at such a young age and was valued by the prince.
Bai Fanyu did not get too happy too early. He looked at Bai Xiuyu who was sitting down and thought deeply.
Bai Xiuyu said in a deep voice: "May I ask the envoy, how is this time different from the old practice?"
The old man became cautious. After all, he was born extraordinary. When talking to him, he must give him enough respect. He touched his palm slightly and said: "Master Bai, the Crown Prince is just passing down an order. This time, except for the Bai family's fiefdom, everything else will be in accordance with the order." The old rules of innate extraordinary treatment, slaves, maids, gold, silk, and elixirs are sufficient."
Bai Xiuyu is the son of Bai Fanyu. The old man treated Bai Fanyu a little bit arrogantly, but he called Bai Xiuyu "sir" because he knew that this innate and extraordinary young man was the core of the Bai family and the only one in the entire Bai family. Someone who can make him put away his arrogance.
There was silence, and the expressions of everyone in the Bai family changed drastically. Some were angry, some were surprised, and some were incredulous.
"Why is this?" Bai Fanyu asked anxiously.
The old envoy shook his head slightly and said: "How can I know what I mean by your Majesty? After all, this envoy only received an order. How dare I ask more questions after seeing His Majesty's Majesty?"
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Bai Fanyu sneered in his heart. He turned around and gave a few instructions to his servant, who followed his orders and left. The envoy looked at this scene and didn't say much. He just stroked his beard slightly.
After a while, a servant came in with a tray. Bai Fanyu lifted the cloth, and a golden light suddenly filled the palace.
"The envoy traveled far from Youyang
Coming here, it's a lot of hard work, small cares, no respect, but looking up makes me smile and accept. "Bai Fanyu said.
Bai Xiuyu, who was sitting under Bai Fanyu, was surrounded by pure Qi, forming a circle of his own. He had actually cultivated the "Superior Pure Qi"! No wonder he became innately extraordinary in just ten years. It was just that the air was flowing around him at the moment, and he was obviously not as calm as he appeared on the surface. However, when his father was speaking, he could not interrupt, and he was also staring at the old emissary.
The old man glanced at the gold on the tray and said with a smile, "Master Bai is too polite."
He leaned down slightly and said softly: "Master Bai failed to seal the fief this time for two reasons."
"Appreciate further details."
"First, the governors of several nearby counties are all ranked innate. The Bai family is afraid of moving too far to a county that is too far away."
"My Bai family knows about this. It's just that Ruyang County is where my Bai family started, but they don't want to move elsewhere. Besides, the Xu family who governs the county here... has no talent." Bai Xiuyu finally lost his temper and said. road.
Bai Fanyu glanced at him but said nothing.
The old envoy chuckled again, touched his beard, and said: "The second thing is that it is related to the Xu family. I also heard from the colleagues of the guards in the Youyang Palace that it was vaguely related to the Xu family ten years ago. It has something to do with the child who entered the Taoist mansion. But the rest is very secretive and refuses to talk about it anymore."
"Could it be that the Xu family's child has also achieved an innate breakthrough? How is it possible! He was only five years old at the time... which makes him only fifteen years old!"
"In recent years, I haven't heard of anyone in the Youyang Palace Taoist House who has achieved a breakthrough in innateness." The old man said.
"Tao Mansion? Could it be that just by entering the Tao Mansion, the old rules of rewards can be broken? This is so unfair to our Bai family!" Bai Xiuyu's voice was a little angry. After all, he was still young. Even though he had excellent talents and entered the innate extraordinary world, he still had some hidden things. Stay in control of your emotions.
"Shut up!" Bai Fanyu turned around and said angrily, then turned to look at the old man. Sure enough, the old man's face darkened when he heard this.
"Master Bai, please be careful what you say to avoid unnecessary disaster." The old man didn't know what he thought of, his expression returned to normal, and he just said softly.
Bai Xiuyu also knew that he had made a mistake, so he immediately apologized, but the old man just said nothing.
After three rounds of wine, the old envoy said: "I am a little tired. When will the ceremony be tomorrow?"
Bai Fanyu observed his words and saw that the old man kept staring at the dancers in the hall, so he knew what was going on and said: "Your Majesty, since we are tired of the ceremony tomorrow, I will arrange for my servants to take the envoy to rest." He turned around and ordered. : "Send the dancers from the hall to the envoy's room."
"Follow the master's orders."
It's night in Jiangdu Fucheng, in the study of the head of the Bai family.
"Father, Tao Mansion, Tao Mansion! What exactly is Tao Mansion?" Bai Xiuyu couldn't control his emotions.
"Once upon a time, there was a man in a fiefdom who was innately extraordinary and made false claims about the Taoist government. The next day, the whole family died inexplicably. The Crown Prince issued an order and the fiefdom was replaced by the family. What kind of existence is the Taoist government?" Bai Fanyu said angrily. , "Even the Crown Prince is just a disciple of the Taoist government! You made a mistake today!"
"But now that I am ranked as an innate warrior, I should be highly valued by the Crown Prince. Without a fiefdom, how can I be worthy of the status of an innate warrior!" Bai Xiuyu was a little angry and said, "Besides, I have completed the secret "Shangqing Qi", and now I feel self-conscious. The one with unparalleled fighting power is Guo Nansu of the Guo family. Although he has been innate for ten years, he is only innate in martial arts after all, and he may not be my opponent. What's more, how can his Xu family be able to rule the county with a single hand? I can destroy the Xu family by turning my hand at this moment. , but still have to succumb to others!"
"The fact that you have completed the secret "Shangqing Qi" is not known to the public at this time, and now it has to be exposed. I will write a letter to inform you about this matter, which should attract the attention of the Crown Prince. Immediately send someone I rushed to Youyang City on a starry night and presented it to the Crown Prince's residence, hoping that the Crown Prince would issue the edict again."
"That's all it can do. Father, there is one more thing to do. The Xu family and Xu Qingcheng..."
Bai Fanyu chuckled lightly and said, "But, tomorrow's ceremony, my father will propose marriage to the Xu family on your behalf."
"Thank you, father." Although Bai Xiuyu was ranked in the innate position, he was very respectful to his father.
Before he broke through to the extraordinary, he admired Xu Qingcheng of the Xu family. Xu Qingcheng was from the same fifth-grade path as him. He was extremely talented and extremely beautiful. He was cultivated by the Xu family with all their resources. He also advanced very quickly and was secretly taught. It is also the practice of "Shang Qing Qi". It's just that Xu Qingcheng has always been lukewarm towards him. She went to Xu's house several times and only met him. At this moment, he finally took the lead and ranked innate. Thinking of the sharp and transparent girl in the white dress, he felt a little anxious in his heart, as if he wanted to hold the girl in his arms the next moment. Watching her proud and bright eyes become submissive, he must have It feels very conquering.
