After cultivating for a while, it was already late at night.
Luo Cheng did not rest. Instead, he opened the door and walked out.
Coincidentally, there was a figure standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky with a serious gaze.
"Are you observing the stars?”
Luo Cheng walked over and asked indifferently.
"Young Marquis, you also know about this unworldly art?" Xu Maogong tilted his head and smiled.”
"Oh, I had a friend who was good at this in the past, so I knew a little about it.”Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes and sniffed.
The so-called Little Nose was also a Taoist priest.
However, compared to Xu Maogong, who was more inclined to be a strategist, he was a professional.
He was especially good at observing the stars and deducing fate.
"I wonder what level Taoist priest's stargazing skill has reached.”
"Little Marquis, do you think that everyone is like you?" Xu Maogong was speechless.”
Luo Cheng's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Xu Maogong, his eyes flickering."As expected, I can't hide it from you."
"Since the young duke has a friend who is a Daoist, he should naturally know that Daoists are the most sensitive to cultivation levels. Thus, ordinary martial artists definitely can't discover the young duke, but Daoists can still see through him.”
Xu Maogong said lightly.
It was as if he was not surprised at all by Luo Cheng's peerless realm.
But was that the truth?
Of course not!
In fact, he had never realized that Luo Cheng, who was only fourteen years old, was actually a martial artist of the Peerless Realm. It was only when he was alone with him just now that he suddenly discovered this terrifying fact through his stargazing and close-range perception.
"Damn it, a fourteen-year-old Peerless Realm martial artist. Even the Overlord Xiangyu isn't this terrifying.”
"No wonder the White Tiger Star rose up in the sky a few days ago and actually burst out with a blazing light. It was probably when the Little Marquis used his cultivation technique to resonate with the White Tiger Star!”
Xu Maogong was so shocked that he almost peed his pants.
He had thought that Qin Qiong and Shan Xiong Xin were already blessed with great luck and would definitely have a place in the world in the future.
In the end, an existence at the level of a Great Demon King had appeared.
The main characters were only at the peak of first-rate, and they were in their twenties.
In the end, if you don't cultivate according to the basic laws, it's simply destroying the balance.
As a Taoist priest, Xu Maogong, who cultivated Taoist techniques and had a profound cultivation, knew more than ordinary people.
If nothing unexpected happened, this handsome young duke in front of him would be the most ferocious general in the world.
As a commander, he would be the God of War of a generation.
If he became king…he would at least have a share of the world!
It was that terrifying.
Liu Bang had indeed won the battle where the Conqueror Xiang Yu had ascended to the Mythical Realm.
However, it cost the lives of more than 30 peerless martial artists at the peak of the realm and millions of soldiers to exhaust Xiang Yu to death.
Luo Cheng had reached the Peerless Realm at such a young age. In the future, let alone the Mythical Realm, he should at least have no problem reaching the ninth level of the Peerless Realm.
How terrifying!
Regarding Xu Maogong's words, Luo Cheng was only listening.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a cultivator with extremely strong cultivation and talent, it would be impossible for other Daoists to sense his realm.
Such words could only be used to show off.
"I wonder what you saw.”
Looking up at the starry sky, the galaxy was resplendent.
Countless general stars shone.
Xu Maogong looked at Luo Cheng's side profile hesitantly, not knowing if he should say it.
He had yet to reach the peerless realm and had reached the peak of first-rate.
Because he was a cultivator and a strategist, he was good at making alliances, strategizing, and observing the stars. Therefore, his combat strength might not be as good as ordinary second-rate martial artists.
However, it was precisely because of this that the world's power could not escape his eyes.
However, Xu Maogong was hesitating whether to say it or not.
He was not related to Luo Cheng and had no prior interactions with him, so he did not know what kind of person Luo Cheng was.
The other party was the son of a Royal Highness and had a respected status in Great Sui.
If he spoke carelessly, he might incur the other party's wrath.
As a person who was good at protecting himself, there were some things that could not be said casually.
"This…This poor priest is not knowledgeable enough. I can only see that the young duke's general star is extremely bright. In the future, he will definitely be able to shine in the Great Sui.”Xu Maogong complimented.
"Haha." Luo Cheng suddenly laughed out loud." Taoist priest, you sure know how to talk. I just don't know which general star I have.”
Xu Maogong pointed at the brightest star in the sky.
"Little Marquis, this is the one.”
He was stunned.
Because Luo Cheng didn't raise his head to look, but looked straight at him.
There was no need to look because Luo Cheng already knew which general star he had since he was young.
Little Nose specialized in this aspect. Even if Xu Maogong had great luck and was one of the protagonists of the chaotic world, he definitely could not compare to him.
This was Luo Cheng's confidence in Little Nose.
"Daoist Priest, do you know what star that is? You dare to call it my General Star.”
Beads of sweat appeared on Xu Maogong's forehead.
He actually forgot such an important thing!
The White Tiger Planet focused on killing, and at the same time, it was also one of the chaotic planets!
The White Tiger Star was bright, representing the arrival of chaos.
In other words, the White Tiger Star mentioned by Xu Maogong was Luo Cheng's General Star, but now the White Tiger Star was shining brightly in the sky, comparable to the bright moon.
He was clearly hinting that Luo Cheng would be a hero in a chaotic world and overthrow the peace of Great Sui!
"This…This…Little Dao…is not what the young duke…is thinking…"
Under the moonlight, Xu Maogong's body stiffened.
He would still hope that the others would be lucky. The other party might not know anything about astrology and was just asking him casually.
However, Luo Cheng had said before that he knew a thing or two about astrology.
Therefore, Niu Nose did not doubt that if he wanted to fool the other party, he would definitely not be able to escape, not to mention his life being in danger, or being hated by the other party!
This was very terrifying. A person who could enter the peerless realm at the age of fourteen, the representatives of the White Tiger Planet hated him.
Not to mention immortal cultivation, it was already very fortunate to be able to survive.
"Oh, do you know what I want to say?”Luo Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became sharp." It seems that the Taoist priest didn't tell the truth before."”
Xu Maogong was sweating profusely.
A faint sense of danger rose from the unseen world.
He was a cultivator and was especially sensitive to this.
Sensing Luo Cheng's hostility, he immediately complained endlessly in his heart.
"Cousin, Taoist priest, you haven't slept yet?”
It was also at this moment that Qin Qiong's voice sounded. He walked out and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Xu Maogong's heart instantly relaxed. Here came his life-saving straw!
The sharpness in Luo Cheng's eyes disappeared. He turned around and smiled."Didn't cousin also not rest?”
" Sigh, it's my first time returning home in several months. My feelings…" Qin Qiong patted her chest." It's a little complicated.”
"Where's Aunt?"
"Mother is already asleep." Qin Qiong replied.
He looked at Xu Maogong." Taoist priest, thank you so much for taking care of my mother when I was not around. I will never forget your kindness."”
"Uncle Bao is too polite. You've already thanked me once, so there's no need for this.”Xu Maogong smiled and said," Besides, you have to thank Manor Lord Shan. All the expenses these days were funded by him.”
At the mention of Shan Xiong Xin, Qin Qiong's eyes had a strange luster.
He said with admiration," Second Brother Dan is extremely righteous. Shu Bao will naturally remember him. However, Taoist priest, are you very hot? Why are you sweating all over?"”
Xu Maogong silently glanced at Luo Cheng. His expression was indifferent, and he looked like a sage-like man."I spent too much energy observing the stars just now, so I'm sweating all over.”
"My cultivation isn't good enough. I've made a fool of myself.”
Qin Qiong nodded in realization.
"Cousin, I'll report to Lord Tang tomorrow. What are your plans?"”
"Eh, Uncle Bao, are you going to work under Lord Tang?”
Before Luo Cheng could answer, Xu Maogong said in surprise.
"Yes, I am." Qin Qiong smiled." In order to take care of me, Uncle wants me to be closer to home, so he recommended me to work under Lord Tang. I can't be considered a position, but I'm probably just a flag token."”
Ji Nan Provincial Governor Tang Bi was the highest ranking official in Ji Nan and controlled all of Ji Nan's troops.
This was the benefit of having a background.
If it wasn't for Luo Yi, he would have to start from scratch when he came to Tang Bi. Now that he was able to become a flag token, he didn't know how many levels he had crossed in the process.
"I'll go with cousin tomorrow.”Luo Cheng replied.
"Cousin, where are you going?" Qin Qiong was stunned.”
Luo Cheng looked at Qin Qiong with an ignorant gaze and did not speak.
Xu Maogong showed his understanding of Tang Bi."As far as I know, Lord Tang's master is the King of Beiping, Luo Yi. In other words, Lord Tang should be the young duke's senior brother.”
"What?" Qin Qiong was shocked.
The sixteen counties of Beiping were under Luo Yi's rule....
The Luo family had been in this land for hundreds of years. It could be said that the Luo family's mark was imprinted in every corner of Beiping.
As one of the sixteen prefectures of Beiping, Jinan was naturally the same.
Luo Cheng knew Tang Bi and was very familiar with him.
His father's eldest disciple could be said to be the most promising one among the many disciples.
He was only thirty-six years old now, but he was already the highest authority in Jinan. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as someone with high status and power.
Luo Cheng had come to Jinan from Jizhou. It would be unreasonable if he did not pay a visit to his eldest senior brother.
His ambition was to conquer the world. If he could get Tang Bi to support him, it would definitely be beneficial.
One had to know that Tang Bi was one of the 18 rebel kings after the Great Sui collapsed!
Those who could become the Eighteen Rebel Kings were the strongest existences among the anti-Sui forces. None of them were simple.
"Not only Lord Tang, but most of the Prefectural Governors and Commanders in the sixteen counties of Beiping are disciples of the King of Beiping. Even if they are not disciples, they are still indebted to him.”
Xu Maogong hinted.
However, on second thought, he was too narrow-minded.
Qin Qiong was Luo Yi's nephew, could it be that he still needed to deliberately suck up to someone…..
He didn't even need to do anything, and he would definitely be able to soar and rise to the top.
"Alright, since that's the case, then tomorrow cousin, come with me to see Lord Tang.”Qin Qiong laughed.
He was naturally happy to have someone to accompany him.
Luo Cheng nodded slightly. His gaze fell on Xu Maogong, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a strange smile.
This bull-nosed guy was really scheming. It seemed like he still had to be taught a lesson.
"Taoist priest, why don't we go together tomorrow?”
Xu Maogong's face was instantly filled with horror as he flatly refused,""No, no, no. There's a reason for the young duke and Uncle Bao to go see Lord Tang, but I'm just a pretentious person. How can I go see Lord Tang?”
Luo Cheng nodded." You're right, Taoist priest. If that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you."”
Xu Maogong heaved a sigh of relief.
After tonight's incident, he wanted to stay away from Luo Cheng.
If he didn't want his peaceful life to become complicated, he couldn't get close to such a person!
Of course, with Luo Cheng's talent and the fact that his General Star was the White Tiger Star, if Xu Maogong wanted to appear, it was definitely the best choice.
At the very least, in all these years, he had never seen a person with such deep luck like Luo Cheng.
Even Qin Qiong couldn't compare.
Luo Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the White Tiger Planet. He smiled and said,""Cousin, what do you think of that star?”
Qin Qiong looked over and was a little surprised.""What bright stars."
The White Tiger Star was extremely bright, facing the moon in the sky. Such a phenomenon was rarely seen in a hundred years.
"Just now, Daoist Priest told me that this is some kind of White Tiger Planet, right Daoist Priest?”Luo Cheng said with a smile.
Xu Maogong's sweat dripped down.
" Right, right, right…" He looked at Qin Qiong and forced a smile.
"By the way, what does the White Tiger Planet represent? I don't remember what you said just now.”
Xu Maogong clapped his hands fiercely." Shu Bao, Little Marquis, I heard that Lord Tang's spear is superb. I've long admired such a strong person. When you go to see Lord Tang tomorrow, do you want to bring me along to see the world?"”
His gaze was sincere, and it was simply difficult to refuse.
Luo Cheng didn't say anything. He turned around and continued to look at the starry sky.
However, his slightly smug smile revealed his current state of mind.
Qin Qiong was like a confused monk.
She didn't know what was going on with the Taoist priest. He didn't want to go for a while, but he wanted to go for a while.
However, this was only a small matter, especially after knowing that Tang Bi was Luo Cheng's Eldest Senior Brother. Bringing a person was even less of a big deal.
"No problem," he nodded,"then Duke Mao will come with us tomorrow."”
Xu Maogong carefully glanced at Luo Cheng before letting out a long sigh of relief.
……
The next day, the three of them bid farewell to Mrs Ning early in the morning and rushed to the Tang residence.
"Qiong 'er, when you two go to see Lord Tang, you must be respectful to him. After all, you still have to work under him in the future.”
"Cheng 'er, don't be mischievous. Be honest. Even if you're the young duke, you can't cause trouble in Jinan.”
"Daoist Priest, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the two of them. You're more experienced, so give them more guidance.”
Mrs Ning kept reminding him.
However, he didn't know what relationship Luo Cheng had with Tang Bi. In his heart, he only treated Luo Cheng as his nephew.
Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong looked at each other and respectfully agreed.
"Mother, don't worry. I know."
"Aunt, don't worry. Nephew has never liked to stir up trouble.”
Luo Cheng deliberately turned his head to Xu Maogong."Taoist priest, I still need your guidance on the way.”
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Xu Maogong finally managed to wash off the sweat on his body. This time, he was drenched in sweat again.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
"Little Marquis, you're being too serious."
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the three of them left the Qin family and walked towards Jinan City.
The door of the Jinan Provincial Governor's Mansion was tightly shut.
This wasn't an office, so there wasn't much excitement.
Tang Bi was dealing with documents in the study when someone knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong…"
"What's the matter?"
"Sir, someone has a recommendation letter from King Luo Yi of Beiping and is requesting to see you.”
A voice came from outside the door.
"Oh?" Tang Bi raised his head abruptly. The teacher actually wrote a recommendation letter. This was rare.”
He stood up, opened the door, and said sternly,""Where is he?"
"They have been invited to the main hall."
Tang Bi strode toward the hall.
……
In the hall, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Xu Maogong stood quietly in the middle. The three of them were sizing up the Regional Commanders 'mansion, but they did not reveal any surprised expressions.
Luo Cheng had seen many things since he was young. The Imperial Residence of Beiping was much better than this place.
Qin Qiong, on the other hand, had a calm personality and did not take things to heart.
Xu Maogong was very simple. As an old Taoist with a cow's nose, he was good at pretending to be mysterious. Therefore, the first trick was to maintain a calm and relaxed posture in any situation. Only then could he have the demeanor of a sage-like man.
Even if he was in the Imperial Palace now, he would still be used to it, let alone in the Regional Commanders 'Residence.
The three of them handed in their recommendation letters and were invited here.
There was no scene where the servants looked down on them and wanted to chase them away.
Perhaps there were such people in real life, but the grass on the grave was probably ten feet tall.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle."
Not long after, footsteps sounded.
The three of them were shocked at the same time and turned around to look.
A muscular middle-aged man wearing armor strode over.
He did not smile and had a black beard on his lips. He looked like a capable general.
His entire body emitted a faint terrifying aura.
