The side door of the General's Mansion suddenly opened.
Even though it's a side entrance, it's very grand because it's the General's Mansion.
A carriage slowly drove out from the side door.
The coachman was a strong young man, but he was not very skilled in driving the carriage. Fortunately, his arms were thick and strong, so he could easily control the carriage.
He controlled the carriage and drove down the long street of Youzhou Mansion.
The carriage swayed along the long street and arrived at the central square of Youzhou Mansion.
Then we stopped in front of Fengbai Restaurant.
The shopkeeper of Fengbai Restaurant is a calm middle-aged man. He was originally receiving guests in the restaurant. When he saw the carriage approaching outside, he put down the account book in his hand and walked out on his own initiative.
Two men got off the carriage. One was a thin old man with gray hair, who looked like a butler.
The other one is a young man in black with extraordinary bearing.
When the shopkeeper saw the young man's appearance, he was immediately shocked. What kind of wind was it today? Why did it alert this guy?
"Will"
The shopkeeper had an acquaintance with Cao Su, so he hurried over to greet Cao Su.
However, Cao Su stretched out his hand to stop him: "A Feng, there is no need to be polite."
Cao Su obviously also knew the identity of this person. He was the shopkeeper of Fengbai Restaurant and one of the stewards of the Liu family. He was Liu Yiqi's most trusted subordinate.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stopped talking, neither humble nor arrogant. When he saw Cao Su dressed in casual clothes, he had some suspicions in his mind.
Taking the initiative to lead the way: "Sir, please come inside."
Several young waiters who were shouting hello outside Fengbai Restaurant suddenly saw the shopkeeper coming out to greet the guests, which made them very surprised.
Although the shopkeeper doesn't know much about martial arts, he is a noodle-eater in the entire Youzhou Prefecture because he is a member of the Liu family. Nowadays, ordinary families or sects have to sell some of the Liu family's face to alert the guests who the shopkeeper personally comes to greet.
, that’s really not much.
The waiter stepped forward to greet him anxiously, took the reins from Shi Yong's hand, and went to find a suitable place to park the carriage.
"Don't stop the carriage indiscriminately."
Before Cao Su entered the door, he gave a special warning.
Then he walked into Fengbai Restaurant with Shi Yong and Weng Xiao.
Fengbai Restaurant was full of guests, and every seat was packed.
As the most luxurious and luxurious restaurant in Youzhou Prefecture today, Fengbai Restaurant has a very high reputation in Youzhou Prefecture.
People from all walks of life come and go, passionate children from various families, and frustrated prodigal sons who drink to drown their sorrows. In Fengbai Tower, you can almost see all kinds of people.
"The new issue of the Dragon and Tiger List and the Phoenix List are out!"
Not long after entering Fengbai Restaurant, I heard a waiter running in in a hurry.
This guy had a loud voice and held two brochures in his hands.
"What? The Dragon Tiger List and the Phoenix Bird List are out?"
The noisy environment of Fengbai Restaurant was cleared up, and many people in the world immediately turned their attention to it.
The Dragon Tiger List and the Phoenix Young List are both important lists released by Longhu Pavilion at regular intervals.
He plays a very important role in the entire world.
Among them, the Dragon and Tiger List includes the top martial artists under the Mysterious Realm.
In a world where the Mysterious Realm has not yet emerged, the masters listed on this list are basically all the martial arts masters in the world, like Yun Zhengxin before, who was also on the Dragon and Tiger list.
The masters on the Phoenix Ranking are mainly young people under the age of thirty.
The Phoenix Young List has only been launched for a few years, and Sima Changfeng from Shendu has been ranked first in every issue.
But this issue is particularly different.
Previously, Cao Su killed Yun Zhengxin, the number one master in Youzhou, in the battle at Youzhou Prefecture.
Yun Zhengxin is a first-grade martial artist who has been famous for a long time. He is ranked thirteenth on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
I never thought that I would die in the hands of a young court general.
As a result, Cao Su was promoted to General Zhenbei.
As the news of Cao Su's promotion to Zhenbei General spread, the entire Youzhou Prefecture was shocked.
Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Cao Su would become a third-rank imperial general.
Looking at the entire history of the Qian and Yuan Dynasty, the 21-year-old general from the third rank of Zhenbei is also unique.
What the court is concerned about is whether Cao Su can take a further step, while what the world is concerned about is whether Cao Su can become the new number one among the Phoenix.
When you are in different locations, you pay attention to different things.
"Little baby, show me the list quickly!"
The impatient people surrounded the store clerk who came to announce the information.
In Fengbai Restaurant, all kinds of Jianghu information circulates.
Restaurants hang information in restaurants as a way to attract business.
"Yes, yes, tell the Sa family quickly, who is number one on the Phoenix list?"
The people in the Jianghu were most concerned about strange things. Everyone was noisy and stared at the restaurant waiter who came to report.
The guy didn’t dare to show off too much and just showed the list.
"The latest number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking list -"
"Youzhou Cao Su!"
Sure enough, Cao Su became the first in the Phoenix list!
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was filled with exclamations of exclamation.
Although he had known for a long time that Cao Su might already have combat power comparable to that of Sima Changfeng.
But after all, Cao Su and Sima Changfeng had never fought before.
Since he has not fought before, according to the previous rules of the Fengxiao Ranking, it will be safe to rank Cao Su maybe a little behind.
I never thought that Longhu Pavilion would be so radical this time, ranking Cao Su directly in the first place.
"What about Sima Changfeng?"
Some Jianghu people asked anxiously.
"Ranked second on the Phoenix list, Sima Changfeng of the Divine Capital!"
Everyone was amazed again, although they didn't know what they were marveling at.
Sima Changfeng will definitely not fall out of the Phoenix Young List, but after sitting at the top of the list for a long time, and now suddenly changing hands, many people still feel a little uncomfortable.
Everyone still vaguely remembers the scene when Wei Tianming challenged Zuo Qiuzi.
The gap between everyone on the Feng Chu list is not small. Wei Tianming dared to challenge Zuo Qiuzi, but he did not dare to challenge Sima Changfeng at all.
Sima Changfeng is a first-class martial artist under the age of thirty. Looking at the entire world, very few can reach his level before the age of thirty.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, Cao Su is only at the second level now, but Cao Su at the second level has already killed Yun Zhengxin, a master in the first level, so he is considered to have the first level.
His combat prowess is no less than that of Yun Zhengxin.
Since he is not inferior to Yun Zhengxin, Sima Changfeng's ranking on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is far behind Yun Zhengxin.
Therefore, there seems to be another evidence that Cao Su ranks ahead of Sima Changfeng.
"Where's the Dragon and Tiger List?"
Someone quickly asked, the dragon and tiger list is also very important. The dragon and tiger list reflects the absolute strength of a martial artist to a certain extent.
"Dragon and Tiger List, Cao Su, number 22!"
The guy holding the dragon and tiger list said with a red face. Although he didn't know General Zhenbei, but there was such a strong person in Youzhou, he always felt that his blood was surging.
"First on the Phoenix list, 22nd on the Dragon and Tiger list, this is Cao Su"
People in the world were amazed again, as if a pot was exploding, and they were talking endlessly.
"If I'm not wrong, Cao Su is only twenty-one years old this year, right? He already has such combat power at the age of twenty-one. Once he breaks through to the first level, who else in the world can stop him?"
"The appearance of invincibility under the Mysterious Realm appears. If Cao Su reaches the first-level realm, it is very likely that he will be invincible under the Mysterious Realm."
"Invincible under the mysterious realm? What is that concept?"
Among the many people in the world, some have already entered the realm of strength.
Being in the middle level of strength realm is equivalent to being a mainstay or high-level person in some sects, and knows many secrets of the world.
Some of them seemed to know some things about Xuanjing, and they were quite envious of Cao Su as they talked.
"If you look at it this way, I'm afraid Cao Su will soon enter the Xuan Realm."
"Xuanjing!"
The word "Xuanjing" appears, as if it has magic power, making people lower their voices and feel their hearts surge.
The lifelong goal of ordinary people is to become a force realm warrior, but taking the step from a Qi and blood warrior to a force realm warrior may take most people a lifetime of effort.
Those with a little bit of talent and hard work can step into the lower realm of strength.
I originally thought that entering the realm of power would be the beginning of becoming a master, but it turns out that the realm of power is just the beginning.
The level of force realm is completely different from that of qi and blood.
There are nine levels of strength, and there are different levels, and there are differences between them.
Regardless of whether it is the ninth level or the first level, there is still no transcendent realm in nature. In this large realm, the level of life has not changed much. A better martial artist can live for more than two hundred years and has suffered some hidden injuries.
, a martial artist with insufficient Qi and blood may not even live to be two hundred years old.
This level of martial artist is also something that many civilians can see from time to time.
But the Xuan Realm martial artist who is above the Strength Realm is different again.
Xuanjing already has an existence that can live for five hundred years. Essentially, it is in a different life dimension than ordinary people.
With a lifespan of five hundred years and a vicissitudes of life, who can still remember the time five hundred years ago?
Therefore, this level of mysterious realm, like the ancestors of gods and immortals, are legendary existences and can no longer be seen easily.
Many people believe that this is the reason why they cannot leave the Xuan Realm, because they live too long and will not appear in front of the world easily.
However, Cao Su knew that there was another important reason why he could not leave the Xuan Realm, and it was because of the regulations of the Qianyuan Territory Lord.
Xuanjing will participate in the realm battlefield, so in this world, Xuanjing basically no longer exists.
In other words, if Cao Su can reach the first level and truly become an invincible being in the Xuan Realm, then he can basically walk sideways in this world, and no martial artist in the Strength Realm can threaten his life.
Everyone was talking a lot, guessing when Cao Su would enter the mysterious realm.
"It will take at least ten years. According to Cao Su's current bravery and diligence, like Sima Changfeng, he is expected to enter the first level of the Strength Realm before he is thirty years old, and he is expected to reach the Xuan Realm before he is fifty years old."
"But the premise is that Cao Su will focus all his energy on cultivation. If he continues to participate in court affairs and various secular affairs, it will most likely interfere with his normal cultivation and breakthrough."
Everyone speculates that Cao Su will definitely be able to break through and enter the Mysterious Realm before he turns fifty.
Therefore, it has been a long time since Cao Su entered the Mysterious Realm, but it seems that it is not long before Cao Su enters the First-Rank Realm.
In other words, the day when Cao Su is invincible in the world should not be too far away.
——
In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
Cao Su, Weng Xiao and Shi Yong ate.
Weng Xiao was a little reserved. There was a difference between master and servant. He was not used to eating directly at the same table with Cao Su, but Shi Yong was much more generous. In addition, this was not the first time he had eaten with Cao Su in the military camp.
, Cao Su always ate and lived with his soldiers, which was not unusual.
Weng Xiao made a spell, and he collected some noisy sounds and put them on the table to play.
"The radio."
Cao Su's eyes lit up. Although the monks were physically fragile, they did have many tricks and tricks: "It's not so troublesome. I can hear anyone talking in this restaurant."
"Including transmitting the voice into the secret."
Weng Xiao slapped the horse on the leg and put away his magical power in embarrassment.
Shi Yong didn't pay much attention to these things and just ate there by himself.
Weng Xiao was not as ambitious as Shi Yong. What was the purpose of Cao Su taking the two of them incognito on this trip? He racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't figure it out.
Cao Su had been listening secretly and heard the discussions of many Jianghu people.
I also heard what they said about themselves.
His evaluation in the world is very polarized.
Good people think that Cao Su is a good man who serves the country and the people. Under his governance, Youzhou Prefecture lives and works in peace and contentment.
Those who think that Cao Su is not good think that Cao Su is a first-class court eagle dog. For the benefit of the court, he raped Comrade Hu and killed countless people in the sect. He is a complete villain.
"Mr. Weng."
After Cao Su listened for a while, he suddenly called Weng Xiao.
Weng Xiao looked at Cao Su: "My subordinate is here."
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Young Master Weng is well-informed, have you ever heard of what happened in Tongtian City?"
Tongtian City?
Shi Yong, who was eating quietly, raised his big head and looked at Cao Su blankly.
Why did he seem to have heard of this Tongtian City somewhere?
Weng Xiao was shocked, but then he suddenly realized that Cao Su was already at the second level of strength realm, and he was the dignified Lord of Youzhou. It was normal for him to have heard about Tongtian City.
"My lord, my sect has some records about this Tongtian City."
When Weng Xiao said this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
His sect is the Wanping Sect, which is listed as the number one villain by the imperial court.
But in fact, the composition of the Wanping Sect in the south is very complex, such as the Jingu lineage.
Jingu is also an important disciple in the Wanping Sect. His lineage can be regarded as the main lineage of the Wanping Sect and the main force in the previous Wanping Rebellion.
However, Weng Xiao's lineage is slightly different from Shenguong's lineage, which is reflected in the specific practice that the two have taken two different approaches.
The Shrine directly raised the banner of rebellion, starting from the bottom class and trying to overthrow the rule of the dynasty in the simplest way.
This method is simple and crude, and it works very quickly, but once it fails, it can easily lead to disaster.
For example, the current Jingu lineage has been defeated, and now it is even more depressed, with no voice in the south.
Weng Xiao adopts a more moderate approach. He will find ways to find some spokesmen, and through cooperation, he can subtly change the minds of those he cooperates with, so as to achieve his own political opinions.
Compared to the divine palace, Weng Xiao is more like a pure counselor.
Hearing that there were records about Weng Xiao's sect, Cao Su asked bluntly, regardless of whether the sect was banned by the imperial court: "What is recorded? Tell it and listen."
Weng Xiao briefly recalled and listed the matters of Tongtian City recorded in his memory bit by bit.
"I remember it was recorded in the sect's books that Tongtian City seems to be a city on a mountain."
A city on a mountain?
How to build a city on a mountain?
The largest mountain city Cao Su has ever seen so far is Piaoxue City, now renamed Guangyang City, but it is also a city built at the foot of the mountain, and cannot be said to be a city on the mountain.
