Qinggu Village, after several years of construction, although it is far less beautiful than the previous Aogu Empire, dozens of courtyards have been built. As an ancient family, the accumulated wealth is also very considerable, which is very important for life.
There are also dedicated people in charge who regularly go down the mountain to purchase some necessary items, so I can still live without worries about food and clothing. -
The Zhanhu Hall is where the Zhanhu family handles some important matters and receives distinguished guests. However, at this time, the Zhanhu Hall is not what it used to be. It looks extremely simple, with some tables and chairs scattered here and there. Even so, the hall is
There is a majestic portrait hanging on the wall in the center. The portrait prominently shows a strong man holding a big sword, his whole body wrapped in silver armor, and sitting on a giant dragon. He is faintly exuding an inexplicable aura.
The aura makes people dare not act recklessly here, and the character in the portrait is none other than the founder of the Zhanhu family - the dragon knight 'Zhanhu'.-
In the large Zhanhu Hall, Liehu is standing in the hall with an old man carrying a long sword and wearing a war robe. Since the death of the head of the Lihu family in the battle, Liehu has become the core figure of the Zhanhu family, with great power.
Supreme.-
"Old Liehu, what are you thinking about?" The old man saw that Liehu was silent for a long time, and slowly stepped forward to remind him. -
Liehu pondered secretly in his mind, his expression changed, and he stared at the old man without directly answering the old man's words.-
"Huh?" The old man was stunned. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the fierce tiger like this. He immediately smiled and said: "I, Bruce, have fought countless battles and served your Majesty for more than sixty years. I have lived my old age peacefully and will not be involved in state affairs from now on.
But now that the throne has been taken over by your majesty's traitorous son, the country has been ruined and everything is in a state of chaos. I, Bruce, can stand up. Can you just bear to watch the Aogu Empire decline day by day?" -
"Alas..." Liehu sighed, and then replied: "Our Zhanhu family originally existed to safeguard the Aogu Empire. Now that the imperial palace has rebelled, even our Zhanhu family has been harmed by traitors and was almost wiped out.
The current strength is not as good as before, and the most important point is that the ancestral precepts clearly state that no interference in the internal affairs of the palace is allowed." -
"If the empire is gone, how can we talk about maintaining it? I think your Zhanhu family is afraid." Bruce snorted coldly.-
"Are you afraid?" Liehu's cold eyes narrowed, which made Bruceton feel chilled. Then he turned his back to Bruce and said in a cold voice: "Our Zhanhu family has never been afraid of anything. Don't you want to use help?"
Will the strength of our Zhanhu family support the eldest prince to ascend the throne? That's very simple. As long as you pass my test and are truly qualified to be the head of a country, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything." -
"What test?" Bruce asked anxiously.-
"First, you are not allowed to ask for any help, you have to rely on your own ability to live outside for a year before coming back; second, you must work for our Zhanhu family for one year after you come back; third, you become a war chariot, and the above three points
, both are indispensable." Liehu replied calmly. -
"Damn! You are deliberately making things difficult for me. The eldest prince has a noble status, so how can he suffer like this!" Bruce was angry.-
Liehu suddenly turned around, stared at Bruce, and replied coldly: "Old Marshal Bruce, please respect yourself. I have my own reasons for doing this. If the eldest prince can't even handle these simple things, then we Zhanhu
There is no need for the family to support an incompetent person to become the leader of the country." -
Seeing Liehu's determined look, Bruce also knew it and stopped arguing with Liehu. He slowly stepped forward and said, "Okay, I'll deliver the message. Farewell!" -
After saying that, Bruce snorted, turned around and left... -

a long time……-
Dihu and Lanhu arrived at Qinggu Village in parallel. As soon as they saw it, there were more than ten holy guards stationed in front of the door. In addition, there were some holy guards arranged in each stone step along the way. Once there was any abnormal movement, they would be
It can spread throughout the entire Qinggu Mountain immediately.-
Dihu smiled and nodded to the dozen or so holy guards in front of the door, then pulled Lanhu and slowly walked in. -
Not long after they walked, the sound of fierce fighting reached the ears of the two people. Lan Hu was confused and immediately asked: "Second brother, what happened inside? Why is it so noisy?" -
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, it's a coincidence that you came here. Today I heard from Elder Lie that old Marshal Bruce brought some old troops to our Zhanhu family to discuss some important matters. These should be the old Marshal's old troops competing with the brothers.
Martial arts, everyone must be bored after staying in the mountains for so long." Dihu smiled slightly. -
"Yeah!" Lan Hu smiled reluctantly without saying much.-
"Alas..." Dihu shook his head. His third sister had always been very active, but now she was increasingly haggard and silent. Dihu was also very distressed. He held Lanhu's hand tightly and called softly.
Said: "Third sister, stop thinking so much and leave quickly. Elder Lie will definitely be very happy to see you." -
"It's okay, second brother, let's go." Lan Hu smiled slightly, but the sadness in his eyes betrayed him.
"Yes!" Dihu smiled and pulled Lanhu towards the courtyard.-
"Qiang!" "Qiang!" "Qiang!"... -
Not long after, the two of them had just stepped into the courtyard door, when a strong banging sound suddenly came from them, and they couldn't help but hear it at the same time. -
It was a young man wearing expensive clothes and a fair face. He knew at a glance that he was a wealthy man. At this time, the young man was holding a long sword and slashing hard at a rock that was more than two meters high.
Judging from the strength, he should only have the strength of an intermediate swordsman.-
"Hmph! How come there is such a trash in the clan?" Lan Hu was inexplicably angry, and for some reason, he let go of Di Hu's hand and jumped away. -
Dihu was stunned, not knowing what Lanhu was going to do, but he didn't make any move to stop it.-
The young man didn't notice that Lan Hu was flying towards him. He suddenly clenched the sword with both hands and struck hard into the rock again.
"Ding!" Before the sword hit the rock, a huge force suddenly came from the young man's hand, his hands went numb, and with a "clang", the long sword fell to the ground.-
"That's not how you use the sword!" A sweet voice came. The young man couldn't help but look up and saw a stunning young girl wearing white clothes and holding a long sword. What's even more incredible was that there was a faint trace of light on the girl's body.
He actually exuded a masculine energy unique to men, and the young man suddenly fell into a short-term obsession.-
Seeing the young man staring at him blankly, Lan Hu couldn't help but feel disgusted. He immediately turned away, holding the sword tightly in his hand, a white figure passed by, and stabbed the rock with the sword.
A sound of "Boom!" came through the air, and the long sword in Lan Hu's hand penetrated the rock in an instant. Ignoring the stunned expression of the young man, Lan Hu suddenly put away the long sword, and it suddenly penetrated the rock.
A hole of light appeared, and a sweet and weak voice once again reached the young man's ears: "The power of the sword cannot be too dispersed. Focus the power on one point and find a breakthrough, so that you can kill with one blow!" -
The young man was indifferent to what Lan Hu said. He looked at Lan Hu with his eyes infatuatedly. The words seemed to be frozen, and Lan Hu's amazing sword was clearly recalled in his mind. Apart from the white heroic figure, there was nothing in the world.
Nothing could fit into the young man's eyes with her beautiful face. His heart was beating wildly: It's so beautiful, it's so cool, no, I think I've fallen in love with this beautiful lady. Is this what is called
