Yu Xiuguang didn't look surprised at all, and finally mentioned the business of this trip.
"Then after this reward to Beijing, have you really decided to go to the outside world?"
Xu Luo looked at Sha Qixi, who looked worried next to him, and knew that Yu Xiuguang really regarded him as the successor and did not even hide such confidential matters.
He reached out and wanted to pat Sha Qixi on the head, but suddenly he remembered that she was no longer a child, so he patted Sha Qixi on the shoulder a few more times.
"Don't worry about big brother, practice hard, and come to the outside world to find big brother in the future."
The trust revealed in these words immediately cheered up Sha Qixi, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Xu Luo then looked at Yu Xiuguang. The old fox was not as easy to fool as this simple child, and his eyes were still full of worry.
"Senior, even if you don't believe me, you should still believe me, Senior Ren and my father-in-law!"
Yu Xiuguang's expression softened slightly, but there was still a suspicious look in his eyes.
After all, in his impression, the boy in front of him had never been peaceful.
Speaking of which, when other people mentioned how powerful and mysterious the Outer Realm was, they were afraid of it in every possible way, but why did he feel vaguely like a good show about Xu Luo's trip to the Outer Realm?
"Okay! Let's not mention this in advance. I have brought you three thousand iron cavalry from Panshi City, plus the cultivators trained by the Exorcism Department over the years..."
Having said this, Yu Xiuguang smiled helplessly.
"It's just that these people's cultivation is somewhat incapable of showing off. You also know what it was like over there a few years ago!"
Xu Luo waved his hands indifferently.
"Senior, there is no need to worry. This time it will definitely be the side of Jiehai that carries the banner. If you come here in person, you are giving them face. Even the boy himself is only prepared to kill the culprit. The rest is the reformed sect's own business.
Already."
Yu Xiuguang frowned slightly and asked subconsciously.
"Has Zhan Yan's side arrived? This time we will directly surround the city and fight?"
Xu Luo was about to answer him, but suddenly he raised his head and looked into the distance.
After a while, Yu Xiuguang also noticed it and looked in the direction of his gaze. There were several small black dots flying towards him.
"Here, it's here as promised!"
A smile appeared in Xu Luo's eyes, and he finally let go of the caution he had been carrying vaguely these days.
After Yu Xiuguang saw the person clearly, his eyes filled with emotion and nostalgia, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhan Bingdao, Madman Gu, and Senior Ren...
Tsk, tsk, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The high-spirited and wanton madness back then are now decrepit. Things in this world are really impermanent..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, until finally it seemed that only his lips were opening and closing silently.
Xu Luo pushed Sha Qixi and asked him to comfort his master, while he went to greet the few people who were getting off the ship.
"Xu Luo has met his father-in-law, Senior Ren!"
Xu Luo saluted the two of them, Gu Siyan, but he only nodded slightly to Zhan Yan, who was at the back. Zhan Yan didn't take it seriously, with a cheerful smile on his fat face.
"No need to be polite, Xiao Luo, these fleets are from Panshi City?"
Xu Luo shook his head and laughed, pointing to the cabin inside.
"Senior Yu Xiuguang is waiting for you seniors!"
Zhan Yan and Gu Siyan looked at each other, and then rushed into the cabin at the same time.
Ren Xijian looked at this scene and seemed to have thought of something, even the sad look on his face faded a bit. At this time, there were already loud shouts and shouts in the cabin, occasionally mixed with a few hearty laughs.
Xu Luo waited for Ren Xijian to come to his senses from his emotion, then turned his head towards the stern of the boat and laughed loudly.
"Brother Xia, how long do you want to hide? Hurry up and come out to meet Senior Ren!"
When Ren Xijian heard this, he looked over with confusion on his face. He didn't understand what kind of medicine this boy was selling in his gourd. His surname was Xia. He wasn't from the royal family of Zongren Mansion?
Xia Kekang's tall figure appeared in front of the two people with the sound of shouts.
"Xiao Luo, brother finally understands why people have always been in awe when mentioning you these years. Your current cultivation level is really unfathomable!
Big brother originally discussed with Senior Yu to give you a surprise, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't hide it."
Yu Xiuguang didn't know what method he used, and even Ren Xijian didn't notice it.
Xu Luo smiled and said nothing. With his current spiritual perception, what could this big ship hide from it?
Xia Kekang saluted Ren Xijian next to him again.
"Xia Keqiang, the rock defense line, has never met senior Ren!"
Ren Xijian's eyes showed a sudden look, but he still returned to his usual sad and indifferent look, and just nodded slightly towards him.
"Brother Xia, how can you get away?"
Xu Luo was really worried at this moment. As for Da Jin, the ferocious beasts and evil creatures in Anmo Mountain would not be polite to Da Yan.
Xia Kekang patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I still have your brother Yan Gao. Over the years, the Exorcism Department and the Military Control Department have become indistinguishable from each other, and it will be the same with him."
"Besides, the eldest brother is also named Xia after all. I..."
The expression on Xia Kekang's face suddenly became a little disappointed, but he could no longer say the next words.
Xu Luo looked at him thoughtfully, then turned to look at the capital city not far away, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Since there is no intention of exterminating the Xia family, it is impossible for Dayan to be without an emperor, so who else is more suitable than Xia Kekang?
Thinking of this, Xu Luo suddenly reacted.
With Xia Kekang's mental ambition, although he hoped that fewer people in the Xia family would die during this trip, had he really never had this idea in his heart?
You must know that although Xia Kekang is not a bad person, he has never been someone who is willing to be mediocre!
Looking at Xia Kekang, who was constantly complimenting and chatting next to Ren Xijian, Xu Luo's expression gradually became half-smiling.
Considering the previous friendship, if you have the intention, then what if it will be fulfilled for you?
He simply walked to Ren Xijian and said something abruptly.
"Brother Xia took good care of me in Moshui County before. After this big change in the capital, there will be great governance. With his status and character, he will be able to accomplish a lot."
Ren Xijian was stunned for a moment at first, but he immediately understood the meaning of Xu Luo's words. He finally looked at Xia Kekang with his eyes.
Xia Kekang didn't expect that Xu Luo would speak openly and openly about his little thoughts, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
But he immediately thought of Xu Luo's understanding of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he calmly saluted Ren Xijian again.
"If the seniors have any mission, the juniors will not hesitate to die!"
Ren Xijian looked at Xia Kekang, who had a respectful look on his face, and then looked at Xu Luo with doubts.
Xu Luo didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Ren Xijian pointed at him a few times, but could only say something helplessly.
"Since we all came all the way from Panshi City, I can't live up to your wishes. But do you understand that Dayan's world has changed as soon as this happened?"
Xia Kekang's face was filled with perseverance and finally showed a hint of reluctance. He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the distant capital city. After a moment, a cruel look appeared in his eyes.
"If the Xia family is lucky enough to escape, from now on they should only focus on people's livelihood and no longer care about other matters such as cultivation."
As soon as these words came out, Ren Xijian and Xu Luo both looked at him differently. They didn't know what his methods were, but his decisiveness was really remarkable.
This means that from now on, the secular court will be the Xia family, and anything related to spiritual practice and weird things will be under the jurisdiction of the Reformed sect.
This move is almost like pulling the plug and handing over all the forces of the Exorcism Department and the Imperial War Department. Even if someone in the Xia family is unwilling to do so in the future, there will be nothing they can do.
Now it's hard to say whether this decision is right or wrong, but Xu Luo knows that his cheap brother really has to risk his life.
I don’t know if he really doesn’t want to see the people suffer anymore, or if he has recognized the situation and is temporarily tolerating it?
But even if it is the latter, in Xu Luo's lifetime, I am afraid that the Xia family will be reduced to chess pieces and puppets.
Xu Luo saw the surprised look in Ren Xijian's eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"Senior, there is no need to be too surprised. Although Brother Xia is not very talented in cultivation, he can be called a momentary hero. With him in the Reformed sect, he will be able to avoid a lot of tedious affairs in the future. This is not a good thing!"
There is another sentence that he did not say clearly: since they are heroes, they are aware of current affairs!
As long as the Reformed sect remains strong as always, Xia Kekang is the best partner. But if the Reformed sect declines again, no wonder others will resist. By then, there will be no Xia Kekang, but there will also be Zhao Kekang and Wang Kekang!
Xia Kekang was also quite nervous at this time. Although he met Ren Xijian for the first time, it did not mean that he had no understanding of the old man in front of him.
Xu Luo has always scorned and looked down upon power, and there were faint signs of leaving.
That Gu Sizheng had a temperament that loved beauty more than the country, and based on the relationship between Ren Xijian and him, there was a high probability that he would be Xu Luoming's spokesperson in the future.
In other words, as long as he nods, Xia Kekang will most likely get the coveted position.
Ren Xijian finally nodded noncommittally, but now his eyes were looking towards the cabin.
They saw Gu Siyan and the other three walking towards him with their faces glowing red. Sha Qixi, who was following closely behind them, landed next to Xu Luo with a quick stride.
Xu Luo felt something in his heart. This kid was too honest. These old guys were rare to see...
"Xiao Luo, all the elites of the Boundary Sea Defense Line have arrived at Guanpu City. What are your plans next?"
After Yu Xiuguang bowed respectfully to Ren Xijian, he couldn't wait to ask.
Xu Luo was holding Sha Qixi at the moment, secretly explaining something. From time to time, the two of them would look at each other with malicious intent.
When several old guys saw the strange looks in their eyes, they all felt chills all over.
Seeing that several old foxes still refused to let him go, Xu Luo had a look of helplessness on his face and simply waved his hand.
"We don't need to make any dark moves to take advantage of the general situation. We can just surround the capital city. If Xia Wuyou and the others are aware of current affairs, they will naturally know what to do when they approach the city."
As Xu Luo spoke, he babbled at Sha Qixi, and then jumped back to the keel boat next to him without hesitation.
The bone boat trembled and immediately sailed straight towards the capital city.
