Although he met Xia Zhengwen once in Yang'an City, the situation was urgent at that time, so Lu Xuan didn't take a closer look. This time, he took a closer look and found that Xia Zhengwen was quite handsome. He must have been a handsome man when he was young, even now , also has the charm of a mature man.
"Uncle Emperor, why are you here?" Xia Xi walked up to him and smiled.
Xia Zhengwen put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Xia Xi and said with a smile: "I am really tired from helping the emperor handle state affairs these days, so I came here to relax."
Hearing Xia Zhengwen mention Xia Qi, Xia Xi couldn't help but asked worriedly: "How is my father doing now?"
"One day is worse than the other." Xia Zhengwen shook his head and said, "In the first few days, he could still correct the memorials with me, but in the past two days he could only barely listen to me read to him."
"This damn demon!" Xia Xi couldn't help but cursed bitterly. Who would have thought that the demon was so insidious and forced Xia Qi to where he is today.
Xia Zhengwen let out a long sigh and said: "Now that I think about it, if Bei Bo had joined forces with the Yin Sha Sect last time, he might have had the idea of killing two birds with one stone. He attacked Baicao Hall and severely damaged our Jiulong Dynasty. Fortunately, Baicao Hall Bian is safe and sound, but it's a pity that the emperor's brother was attacked." "You are such an adult, why are you still so immature?" Xia Zhengwen glared at Xia Xi, and then said: "The most powerful forces in Zhongzhou are involved. So easy to deal with, Bei Boruo's side has been listed as a mortal enemy, but the emperor's brother is now in poor condition and it is not suitable to start a war. As for the Seven Evil Sect, it has been determined that the Yin Evil Sect did it alone and has nothing to do with the other Six Evil Sect. , as for how to deal with it, the dynasty must first stabilize itself."
Talking about the internal problems of the dynasty, Xia Zhengwen took a deep look at Xia Xi and said bluntly: "Brother Huang is not in good condition right now. He has already had the idea of passing on the throne. I estimate that a decision will be made in the near future. Bar."
Xia Zhengwen actually spoke so straightforwardly to Xia Xi, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. It seemed that Xia Xi and Xia Zhengwen had a really good relationship. Nothing is taboo.
Xia Xi smiled slightly: "I have already received the news. So I went to Dongtai City specially. I invited Lu Xuan to help."
Xia Zhengwen looked at Lu Xuan, chuckled and said, "Little friend Lu, after seeing you in Yang'an City, you are well."
Lu Xuan showed a smile and raised his hand to Xia Zhengwen: "In Yang'an City, thanks to the help of King Zhennan, Lu Xuan saved his life. This time I came here to express my gratitude." After a pause, Xia Zhengwen said again : "Lu Xuan, since the fourth brother asked you to help, please give me some help. Royal competition is the most cruel, and the brothers of the fourth brother are not easy to use."
"Don't worry, King Zhennan. Since I have promised His Highness the Fourth Highness, I will definitely do my best." Lu Xuan nodded. If he doesn't agree, then he will do his best. Since he agrees, he must do his best.
"That's good. Okay, I won't talk about state affairs today. I finally came out to relax. I don't want to continue to worry." King Zhennan chuckled and took out a few more wine glasses from the storage ring, filled them one after another, and signaled Lu Xuan and the two drank together.
After taking a sip of wine, Xia Zhengwen looked at the scenery in the garden with somewhat blurred eyes and said, "This garden is my favorite. You, fourth brother, are lazy enough. After so many years, this garden has always looked the same." Unchanged."
Xia Xiqi asked: "Uncle, are you familiar with my house?"
Xia Zhengwen laughed loudly: "You know, when I was the prince, this was my residence. Every decoration in this garden was designed by me myself. It was not until I became the king that I moved it to the palace. , I’m really reluctant to part with it.”
Xia Xi was a little strange. He didn't know why Xia Zhengwen wanted to move out even though he couldn't bear to do so. His house was quite impressive, and it was not embarrassing at all to use it as a palace.
…
In the next few days, Lu Xuan spent time in Xia Xi's house, meditating peacefully. He had broken through too many realms in a short period of time and needed to digest them carefully so that he could exert his strongest strength.
As far as Lu Xuan knew, in the past few days, several more people had moved into the house, and it seemed that they were all helpers brought in by Xia Xi. However, Lu Xuan was busy practicing and did not go out to deal with them.
Four days later, Xia Xi finally knocked on Lu Xuan's door. Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up. Xia Xi knew that he was going to meditate, so he hadn't bothered him in the past few days. He suddenly came today. , there must be something important.
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself that it seemed like it was finally about to begin. After not doing anything for so many days, it was time to find someone to stretch his muscles.
Lu Xuan opened the door and saw Xia Xi, who looked slightly solemn. He only heard Xia Xi say in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan, my father has made a decision. All princes can participate in the selection of the throne. Tomorrow at noon, I want to Those who want to inherit the throne must each bring four guards into the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. Whoever can get the dragon pearl guarded by the dragon soul from the jade seal will be the next heir to the throne."
Sure enough, he entered the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. Lu Xuan glanced at Xia Xi, but he didn't expect that Xia Xi was right. However, since he aspired to the throne, he must have opened up all the joints and was extremely well-informed, not to mention that there was this town. King Nan helped.
"Okay, tomorrow I will enter the Nine Dragons Jade Seal with you, the Fourth Highness." Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
"In addition to you, I also invited several strong men to come with me. You haven't come out these days, so I didn't bother you. Let's meet today." Xia Xi said.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and then agreed. He also wanted to see who Xia Xi had recruited.
It was still the same garden as last time. When Lu Xuan and Xia Xi arrived, there were already three people chatting and laughing in the small pavilion. Lu Xuan glanced over and found that no one's strength could be discerned. He couldn't help but touch his nose. , his own strength is indeed the lowest.
"I have met His Highness the Fourth Highness." As soon as they saw Xia Xi coming, the three people stood up and saluted. For these warriors of the Kowloon Dynasty, the royal family is indeed supreme, not only because of the imperial power, but also because of the power that the royal family controls. In terms of strength, in the secular world, one might dare to use force to break the ban, but in the Kowloon Dynasty, without strength above the Taixu realm, you would be seeking death if you dared to mess around.
"Everyone, sit down." Xia Xi smiled slightly, motioned for a few people to sit down, and then introduced to these people: "This is Lu Xuan. Tomorrow he will enter the Nine Dragons Jade Seal with me and others. Let's get to know each other. "
Several people focused their attention on Lu Xuan, and one of them was the first to say: "Your Highness, Tian, I am sorry that the strength of this brother Lu Xuan is too low. Many people are under the age of forty and are in the fourth level of Guiyuan Realm. I think there are a lot of people in the dynasty who have great strength. If the Fourth Highness doesn’t have a suitable candidate, I can recommend a few brothers to help.”
Lu Xuan didn't expect that just after they met, these people would give him a slap on the wrist and unceremoniously criticize his low strength in front of Xia Xi.
"Yes, we all want to help His Royal Highness achieve great things. If someone holds us back, it will be much more difficult."
"I saw that this Lu Xuan never showed up before, so I thought he was someone special. I didn't expect that he was only at the fourth level of Guiyuan Realm." The other two people agreed with the warrior named Tian.
"Don't worry, although Lu Xuan is not at a high level, his real strength is not bad." Xia Xi said with a smile, not at all annoyed.
Although those words were said in this way, the faces of those people were obviously full of disbelief. The warrior named Tian said again: "There is no basis for what you say. Tomorrow is about to start. Why don't you warm up now? How dare you let it happen?" Shall I test your strength?"
The last sentence he said was obviously to Lu Xuan. Xia Xi suddenly looked embarrassed and looked at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "May I ask your surname?"
"Xia Tianxin, a member of the Kowloon Dynasty, has the eighth level of Guiyuan Realm." Tian Xin said with some pride. He is the strongest among the three people invited by Xia Xi. The other two only have Guiyuan Realm. It’s only the seventh level.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise. Being able to achieve the eighth level of the Yuan Realm at less than forty years old is already quite good. If there are enough opportunities, there is a great chance of stepping into the Taixu Realm, but his name is... Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, sweetheart, what a good name.
"I'm Lu Xuan, of unknown origin, fourth level of Guiyuan Realm. Since you want to test my strength, please invite me." Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. This was after he broke through to the fourth level of Guiyuan Realm. In the first battle, a warrior at the eighth level of the Guiyuan Realm asked me to try the sword, which was quite good.
Seeing that Lu Xuan accepted his challenge without saying a word, Tian Xin was a little surprised. His original intention was just to establish his position among the four. After all, once Xia Xi succeeded in taking over, then they would be the masters of Conglong. , will definitely be reused in the future, but I didn’t expect Lu Xuan to be so reckless, but since he wants to humiliate himself, let’s help him.
"Have some courage. Since you are only at the fourth level of Guiyuan Realm, I will fight you with 50% of my strength. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Tian Xin said casually. He had just entered the fourth level of Guiyuan Realm. In the middle stage of Guiyuan, the eighth level of Guiyuan realm has reached the late stage of Guiyuan. The gap in strength is so huge that Tian Xin even feels that he is bullying others with only 50% of his strength.
Since Tian Xin was so trusting, Lu Xuan didn't say anything. He just smiled and nodded. No matter how much he said, it was useless. For a warrior, power is the most effective language. However, in Tian Xin's eyes, his performance was undoubtedly He was satisfied with the show of weakness.
