The door was open, Zi'er lying lazily on the chair, holding a book in her hand. It was not an ordinary book, but a secret technique. The inheritance in the Zhou Kingdom's arsenal was very dedicated and serious.
She also knew what happened in Zhuquefang next to her, and just smiled slightly.
Zi'er had already known about the matter between them before she left Xia Kingdom. She had never seen each other for such a long time, so she naturally had to gather together.
Thinking of how he had occupied him for so long, he couldn't help but smile on Zhou Guo's beautiful face.
suddenly.
Her eyes froze, and she looked outside. A figure rushed towards this side, frowned and puzzled, "Why is she here?"
Put away the book in my hand.
He stood up from the chair again. Just after he finished all this, Ling Qing'er also walked in from outside.
"Why are you free to come to me?" Zi'er smiled.
They all have a very tacit understanding. Before that, try not to meet each other without meeting each other to avoid their embarrassment.
"I've prepared the meal and go and have something together." Ling Qing'er invited.
"He knows?"
"have no idea!"
"Then are you here?"
"I will face it sooner or later. Instead of waiting for that day to come passively, it is better to take the initiative. Besides, everyone is not a person who is unreasonable, so it's better to meet him." Ling Qing'er said.
"Wait for me." Zi'er asked her to sit down first and turned around and entered the room.
After a while.
She came out from inside again, changed into a moon-white short skirt that was at home, walked to Ling Qing'er and stopped, actively stretched out her jade hand and smiled sweetly.
Ling Qing'er also smiled, held her hand, and looked at each other, both of them very satisfied with each other.
"Let's go! Don't let him wait in a hurry." Zi'er said.
The two left the room, talking and laughing, and walked towards the yard of Zhuquefang.
Looking at the night outside.
Monk Xiao Ran couldn't touch his head. It's been so long since she came back yet? What are she doing?
I did not use my cultivation to check it, so I waited!
At this time, the footsteps sounded from outside. The sound was not like a person. I was puzzled. Who else was besides Ling Qing'er?
suddenly.
A flash of inspiration in my mind, a bold guess jumped out, and there seemed to be a spring under my butt. I stood up from the chair with a sudden turn and thought in shock: "She shouldn't call Zi'er too, right?
?”
Thinking of this.
In three steps, he quickly rushed out of the room.
Standing at the door.
Looking at them, the two women walked hand in hand and side by side, with a very strong smile on their faces. They looked like they had been good sisters for many years, without any inconsistency.
Xiao Ran was stunned. After a while, he looked at Zi'er, then Ling Qing'er, and asked stupidly: "Are you guys?"
"Sister Zi'er, I'll just say it! He will definitely be surprised to see us like this."
"!!!" Xiao Ran had a black line. This was more than just a surprise, he was obviously shocked.
If the heart is smaller, I will be shocked and fainted now.
Come back to your senses.
Xiao Ran asked, "What's going on?"
"It's not easy for Sister Zi'er to be alone. Call her over and chat together, so that it will be more lively." Ling Qing'er said.
Looking at the food on the table, there were a lot of colors, fragrance and taste, and you can see that her craftsmanship is good.
Zi'er said, "I'll do it too, so that my sister, I can try my skills well."
"I'll help you!"
When they left, Xiao Ran had not yet come back to his senses from his confused state. All this was like a dream.
He did nothing and solved a Shura field?
But then again, with their qualifications, everything is reasonable.
Smile with smugness.
Xiao Ran was waiting in the hall.
soon.
The two women returned again. There were enough dishes on the table. I didn't make more. Zi'er only cooked six dishes. Even so, plus Ling Qing'er's dishes, I couldn't put a table.
I had to put together another one.
Take out a jar of 100,000-year immortal wine and put it on the table.
The two women seemed to have forgotten Xiao Ran, ignored him and chatted while eating.
Xiao Ran listened quietly, quietly becoming a qualified listener.
After a meal.
He wanted to stay, but was driven out, but he was very thick-skinned and did not leave, waiting quietly in the yard.
It was early morning.
Seeing that the lights in the room had gone out, Xiao Ran raised his lips and smiled proudly, "Can I stump me if I lock the door?"
A golden light flashed.
The whole person disappeared from the spot and appeared again, he had already arrived in the room.
Looking at them, their eyes closed, but their eyelashes were still in the east, and they were secretly happy.
...
The next day.
Just as dawn was dawn, Ling Qing'er had already left. She is now very tasked. She is in charge of the entire refining of the Lingshensi. In addition to her own research, she is busy until very late every day.
Zi'er prepared the meal and then got him up.
After washing up.
I changed the color of the purple gold crown armor on my body and turned it into black and gold, making me look very serious. I will enter the palace later and must be more grand.
"Have you settled?" Zi'er asked.
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
"After eating, you will enter the palace and participate in the morning court. The reward will come down. As we have guessed, you are just an unparalleled marquis, and you will also serve as the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard and the general manager of the Tianzhu."
"It's far worse than your official position in Zhou State." Zi'er joked.
He was already the most powerful minister in the Zhou State, a first-rank official, and the executive deputy palace master of Jiyin Academy, and part-time first deputy director. He was extremely powerful.
Once he breaks through to a higher level, Emperor Huiwen's reward is indispensable. With the mess that Zhou Kingdom is now, if she wants to work hard, she will definitely be named King of the opposite sex.
"I'll celebrate the festival with him." Xiao Ran said.
Zi'er had also heard of the matter between him and Emperor Sheng Wen.
If it weren't for the contribution made this time, it would have been too great. Not to mention Wushuang Hou, even the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard would not have any chance.
"After the reward is over, I will be very busy today. I have to visit many people and prepare the gift of Jian Twelve and their marriage."
"Then you'll come back tonight?"
"I don't know yet. If you have time, try to come back as much as possible." Xiao Ran said.
Zi'er tidied up his collar, kissed him on his forehead, and said virtuously: "No matter how late I'm waiting for you!"
"Yes." Xiao Ran hugged her and walked outside.
Leave from Jingwenfang.
Walking on the street, every time I fell, I seemed casual, but I was dozens of feet away, and I soon arrived at Zhuque Gate.
When the guard saw him coming, he saluted respectfully: "I have met Lord Xiao!"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
Entered the palace.
After these days of recovery, the mess left by the third prince's rebellion has been restored. At the same time, the guards in the palace have been strengthened, and many strange faces have appeared.
Almost all the Dragon Emperor Holy Guards took over the defense in the palace.
There are many strong men in the dark. Although these auras are restrained, they cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears. Even the super formation that protects the palace has changed from the previous one to the current three, and three large formations.
The aura is perfectly integrated to make the formation more powerful.
"It seems that what happened in the Zhou Dynasty's palace made Emperor Sheng Wen be wary and increase the defense of the palace." Xiao Ran said intimately.
Along the way, I met a lot of people.
Among them was Lin Weiyong, the Minister of Justice. When he saw Xiao Ran, he smiled and nodded to say hello, but now in the palace, there were eyes and ears everywhere, and he did not come forward to say hello.
We entered Xuanhe Hall together, and the civil and military officials fought in four rows, one row of civil officials, one row of military officers, one row of princes, and one row of nobles.
Think about it.
Xiao Ran didn't go anywhere, but stopped near the door and stood in the military officer's line.
Among them are many acquaintances, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, Fu Xianhe, etc.
Emperor Sheng Wen has not come here yet. He is awake for only one hour every day, and he is sleeping for the rest of the time, watching the rising sun outside rise higher and higher.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The voice of Haweiyang came from the inner hall.
Then Emperor Sheng Wen walked out from behind with a cold face and expressionless face. Compared to before, his face was very pale, like a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood. It was as if a gust of wind blew.
Blow him to the ground.
But his steps were very steady, and there was a huge force in his body. It seemed that he had a high attainment in the Emperor's Demonic Art, but the injuries left before had not fully recovered, so that's how it was.
Xia Weiyang followed closely behind him. In addition to him, there was an old eunuch. This man was very strange. He had long red hair and looked very eye-catching. He seemed to be an ordinary person, but in fact, he had every move and carried the avenue.
The truth is.
"True God?" Xiao Ran said in his heart.
It still didn't see Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Zhu. It seemed that what happened before still did not dispel Emperor Sheng Wen's vigilance and did not trust them anymore, but I just didn't know if he had taken back control of the film department.
"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted.
Xiao Ran also clasped his fists.
Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the dragon throne, with sharp eyes and great pressure, scanning everyone's body, then waved his hand and signaled to flatten.
Looking at the imperial case, there was a memorial on it, which was handed over by the six ministries. Then, after the approval of the three officials, they were placed in front of him, simplifying the process, saving more time, and improving office efficiency.
The memorial stated something, and Xiao Ran was named Wushuang Hou. There was nothing else except this.
After looking at it, Emperor Sheng Wen's heart was very complicated.
If possible, he really didn't want to confer Xiao Ran as Wushuang Hou, especially during the period of discussions before. Every day when he came over, his ministers had already ridiculed him, like a mad dog, yelling to confer Xiao Ran as the opposite sex.
king.
He suppressed them all!
If there is any possibility, he will not want to see Xiao Ran again. He would better die outside or never come back.
All of this has been broken now, and he is still back.
soon.
His eyes were near the hall gate and found Xiao Ran, standing there lazyly, looking at the ceiling, without taking himself in his eyes.
"Damn it!" Emperor Sheng Wen was very angry.
But there was no change in expression on the face.
He said, "I think everyone already knows what happened in the border deserted county some time ago. This time, it is an unprecedented thing for me, Daxia. It will expand its territory and take over a state of Zhouguo. Among them,
All the people who were awarded have already given me a reward, but there is still one person who has not given me a reward. This person is Xiao Ran, the biggest hero in this war!”
Hearing this.
Everyone was subconsciously stunned. Has Xiao Ran been back? Why didn't he see him?
Looking at the front of all civil and military officials, it was empty, and he didn't even see his figure. He showed suspicion and thought strangely, "If no one comes, how can he reward him?"
The smart man looked over with Emperor Sheng Wen's gaze and found him at the end of the crowd!
Lei Yuantai, the master of the Divine Sword Guard, felt ashamed and speechless. Even if you were not rewarded, your official position was not low in Daxia, and you had made so many contributions before leaving the capital.
Why are you standing there?
He waved to him and said in a deep voice: "Here."
Xiao Ran was speechless, and was already standing here, but he didn't expect to notice it.
Facing the eyes of everyone, he tidied up his clothes and made himself look more energetic. He walked over and stopped beside Lei Yuantai.
"Where have you been going after the matter in Huangxian was resolved?" Emperor Sheng Wen asked.
He wanted to make things difficult for a while and let Xiao Ran know who is the master of Daxia.
Even if his official position has been decided, as long as he does not agree, he will not be rewarded.
"My brother's life and death were unknown in that war. After solving the matter over there, I went to Zhou State and found him back." Xiao Ran said calmly.
"Why don't you come back and report immediately?"
“There’s something to do.”
For a moment, the atmosphere continued, and no one expected that Emperor Sheng Wen was questioning him, and Xiao Ran actually took it all back.
Seeing that Emperor Sheng Wen was about to get out of Taiwan, the Grand Tutor said at this moment, "Your Majesty is time to give me a reward!"
He took the initiative to hand over the steps so that Emperor Sheng Wen could take advantage of the situation and go down.
"Damn it!" Emperor Sheng Wen was furious.
But there was no way. Xiao Ran was the eldest princess and he couldn't move even if he wanted to.
I haven't tried it before, but the eldest princess has a very tough attitude and even took out the True Dragon Order.
The palms hidden under the dragon robe were held tightly together, but there was still no expression on his face, and he was very cunning.
"Yes." Emperor Sheng Wen nodded.
"Xiao Ran listens to Feng!"
Xiao Ran stepped forward, raised his head and raised his chest.
"You have made great contributions to heaven in the war in the deserted county. You will be rewarded for any achievements and punished for any mistakes. Now I have appointed you as Wushuang Marquis and the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. The identity of the Tianlao in charge of affairs remains unchanged.
It is determined to be the second grade." Emperor Sheng Wen said.
The material rewards were not expressed, so someone would naturally give them to him later.
After saying that.
He didn't even want to stay any longer, so he stood up from the dragon chaise and took Xia Weiyang and the others away.
