Chapter 171: The Duke’s Peeping, the Peak of the Earthly Marquis

"Qiu'er, I don't know when I can come back after I leave. It could be as short as half a year or as long as three to five years. It's not impossible. During this period, except for Mrs. Huang of the Zhuge family and Mrs. Lu of the Qiao family, no one else Women should not have too much contact with each other, this Chang'an City is the darkest place in the world."

Before the army set off for the expedition, Duke Su warned Zhong Xiaoqiu.

"Grandpa, can't you just leave? At least wait until the New Year." Zhong Xiaoqiu said, this is the first year of her new life. She wants to live a good life in the Huang family, but it doesn't work now.

"Time has not waited for me, and there is no way. I destroyed the whole Gan family. Although the Gan family deserved the crime, it still violated the national law. Your Majesty has graciously allowed me to perform meritorious service for my crime. I must do whatever I say to be worthy of your Majesty's merits. Otherwise, I, the Duke of the country, will If you are demoted to a marquis, and then passed on to Changsheng, you will be just an earl. Take care of yourself at home, and don't interact too closely with some people, especially those who do business or usury, don't touch any of them." Duke Su said solemnly. .

Zhong Xiaoqiu wanted Duke Su to stay, but Duke Su himself didn't want to stay. The end of the year was approaching, and it was originally a good reunion festival, but in the end, troops were sent out.

But the military orders are like mountains, and there is always no choice.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know it well. After you leave, I won't leave the house." Zhong Xiaoqiu said, in fact, if Su Guogong didn't tell him, she would not have contact with other people. They have different origins, different experiences, and different family backgrounds. , there is really no common language between her and the dignitaries of the imperial capital.

Moreover, many noble ladies in the imperial capital mocked her openly and covertly. Although she did not know it, she could sense it from their attitude.

Except for Huang Sumei, most people in the imperial capital secretly despised her.

"It doesn't have to be like this. You still have to go out for a walk when you have time. Go with Mrs. Huang, or call Ji Ren and the others. After I leave, if anything happens, just come to them. Especially let Chang Sheng have more contact with Ji Ren. ." As Duke Su was speaking, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he said, "You really are talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. Come out with me and see Ji Ren."

"Ji Ren is here?" Zhong Xiaoqiu looked surprised. In fact, regardless of Duke Su, she would also be close to Ji Ren. In her eyes, Ji Ren was actually more reliable than Duke Su. In her eyes, Ji Ren was Ren was the one who personally saved her from the darkness.

When Su Guogong went out with Zhong Xiaoqiu, he saw Ji Ren, Qiao Qingyu, and Qiao Qingyin coming hand in hand from a distance, walking through the alleys. Ji Ren was handsome, and the Qiao sisters were beautiful, walking together. When people look at it, they seem to see a beautiful picture.

"Are you guys coming to see me off too?" Duke Su looked at Ji Rendao.

"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, at the end of every year, as usual, His Majesty will summon the ministers and Mrs. Gaoming to the palace for a dinner. After that, they will go home to celebrate the New Year. Zhuge's sister-in-law never attends such gatherings, and Mrs. Huang may be bored this year, so why not come to Uncle Weiyuan's Mansion after the party," Ji Ren said.

A long time ago, everyone celebrated New Year's Eve by themselves every year. On New Year's Eve in the palace, that is, the royal family members had fun by themselves. Until the emperor more than two hundred years ago felt that this was not cordial enough and wanted to enjoy it with his ministers, and then it evolved into the third grade. The above-mentioned civil and military officials must first go to the palace to have a meal, and then go home to have a meal.

Uncle Wei Yuan and Mrs. Qiao will attend, and although Duke Su is not here, Zhong Xiaoqiu will attend on behalf of Duke Su.

"You are interested." When Su Guogong heard this, he looked moved.

This is also what he is worried about. Zhong Xiaoqiu must go to the palace annual banquet, but Zhong Xiaoqiu has never participated in a banquet of this level, and he is also worried that something will happen.

Originally, if Huang Sumei was there, there would be nothing to worry about, but Huang Sumei is a professional scientific researcher and has no interest in this kind of banquet. In her words, even if she had the time, she could make several puppets.

So don't go at all.

If Mrs. Wei Yuanbo is here now, I can take it with me to some extent.

"It's right. My uncle drives away the barbarians and protects his family and the country. As a citizen of Daqi, isn't this what he should do? It's sad that a hero often bleeds, but it's even more hateful if a hero is made to shed tears." Ji Rendao.

"If all the descendants of Da Qi are like 豼, Da Qi will be very lucky." Duke Su sighed, took out a token from his arms, handed it to Ji Ren and said: "This is the iron order of the Huang family. During my absence, the Huang family I leave it to you, if you hold this token, everyone in the Huang family will obey your orders."

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm here and the Huang family is fine." Ji Ren assured.

"Okay, the Huang family will be left to you. There are many horses in Xiliang. When I come back, I will catch a cub of the ninth-grade horse king for you." Su Guo said fair.

A ninth-grade monster, reaching adulthood can be compared to the pinnacle of an earth lord.

The cub is so tame.

But with Duke Su's methods, he could still catch a cub.

"Then there's Uncle Lao. It's best to be white." Ji Ren said. Speaking of which, Ji Ren felt that Yang Jian must be a white control.

The dog is a white dog, the horse is a white horse, and the eagle is a white eagle.

However, as luck would have it, Ji Ren is also a white control.

White horses are his favorite.

White horse, white dog, white bellyband...

"It's a deal. I'll find a white one for you. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Gongsun Changdi to send one over." Su Guo was fair.

Ji Ren smiled. After Gongsun Changdi and Gongsun Zan, Zhenger Baijing's white control, and his elite white horse Yi Cong, as the name suggests, are all white horses.

Duke Su nodded, put on his armor, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the school grounds.

"Come in and sit down."

After Duke Su left, Zhong Xiaoqiu sent out an invitation.

Several people were about to respond when they suddenly noticed something was wrong. They suddenly turned their heads, looked behind them, and shouted softly: "Who?"

At the corner of the alley, the expression of the tall, thin middle-aged man who had appeared at Yang's house suddenly changed. Did he find him?

How can it be? He deliberately used a barrier to block the sky, and Duke Su didn't even notice him.

Although he did feel relaxed when he saw Duke Su leaving just now, he should not have been discovered.

Ji Ren must be suspicious.

The tall and thin middle-aged man was doubting. Ji Ren believed in his intuition. A faint golden light glowed in his eyes. He looked through the green wall and saw the middle-aged man directly. He whispered to Qiao: "Come with me."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Ren shot out like an arrow from a string, followed closely by Qiao Qingyu, his figure like the wind.

Sensing Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu's rapid approach, the tall, thin middle-aged man's expression changed. He never expected that Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu would actually notice him.

Although I don’t understand it, I have to leave now.

To Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu, the short stretch of a few dozen feet in the alley was as if it didn't exist, as if they were teleporting.

The tall and thin middle-aged man subconsciously tensed up his whole body, a vast force surged, and a domineering punch fell. Suddenly, the situation changed, and the terrifying power condensed. In an instant, it seemed that there was only this punch between heaven and earth. .

Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu both had horrified expressions on their faces. They never thought that they would encounter a peak land lord here. The two quickly took out their spirit weapons, and an emerald green umbrella appeared in Qiao Qingyu's jade-white palm. He opened the umbrella and used the umbrella as a shield to block the tall, thin middle-aged man's punch. The tall, thin middle-aged man was shocked. Although this punch did not use any spiritual skills and was not considered full force, Qiao Qingyu shouldn't have received it so easily.

In surprise, the three-pointed and two-edged sword bloomed with cold light. Ji Ren attacked with all his strength. The tall and thin middle-aged man was startled again and hurriedly dodged. However, he was caught off guard and still had a piece of his clothes cut off.

The tall and thin middle-aged man was shocked. If he had been in another place, he would definitely have used his methods to destroy Ji Ren and the two, but this moment was unusual. There were many strong men near Su Guo Gong's mansion. After temporarily forcing him back with a punch, his figure jumped up and jumped a hundred feet.

Qiao Qingyu wanted to chase him, but the next moment, he lost sight of the tall, thin middle-aged man. Although Ji Ren could see him, he couldn't catch up with him. After just a few breaths, he was dazzled.

The expressions of both of them became solemn at the same time. As soon as Su Guo Gong left, a powerful man from the top of the land lord peered into Su Guo Duke's mansion. This is definitely not a good thing.
