Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

"Brother, are you from the Tang Dynasty in the East?! Your outfit is quite strange, haha!"

Sheng smiled amicably.

"I guess so."

Lu Xuan smiled. In his previous life, he was a person from the Great Xia Dynasty, and he also had some connection with the Great Tang Dynasty in this world, so he could be considered half a person from the Great Tang Dynasty.

"No wonder, haha! My name is Sheng, and this is my sister Jialuo! What were you reciting just now? It sounded like a poem, but it wasn't quite a poem either?"

"It is another form of lyricism called 'cifu' (a type of classical Chinese prose-poetry), which was written by my mentor."

Lu Xuan said.

There is only one stone in the world, Zijian only has eight buckets, I have one bucket, and the whole world has one bucket!

These are words spoken by Xie Lingyun.

Who was Xie Lingyun?

Cao Zhi, also known as Cao Zijian, was the idol of the poet Li Bai. Even Li Bai himself admitted that he could not compare to Xie Lingyun. One can imagine how accomplished Cao Zijian was in the literary world.

This "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" is Cao Zhi's most famous work. Because of this article, dozens of words have become famous throughout the ages.

One can imagine how accomplished this person is.

Lu Xuan was just trying it out, but he actually guessed right.

Galo had never heard of the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, and his words left himself an out, even if Galo heard about it elsewhere in the future.

Lu Xuan also said that it was written by his elders from his hometown, so there was no need to say that he wrote it himself.

In fact, Galo's first increase in favorability was due to the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River.

The second reason is Lu Xuan's good looks and honesty.

The other party did not deceive her by saying that he did it to gain her favor; she thought he was very sincere and straightforward.

"What is your esteemed teacher's name? Could you tell me the entire content? It's written...it's truly excellent!"

Jialuo's beautiful eyes shone brightly.

This was the first time she had ever heard poetry, and she felt that every word was precious and thought-provoking. Even the words praising herself were truly amazing.

"Of course, but I'm afraid not today. To be honest, my master sent me to the Western Regions because the Thousand Caves are about to suffer a catastrophe, and he hopes I can do my best to stop it... I've been waiting for you two here again!"

Lu Xuan stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

He wants to form a contract with Galo!

The goal is to make the other person my second Heroic Spirit Servant, but the current affinity level is far from sufficient.

"The Thousand Caves City Catastrophe!?"

His words instantly put Sheng on guard, and his gaze toward Lu Xuan became somewhat hostile.

There are quite a few swindlers out of these, but I never expected that this seemingly decent young man would also be involved in this kind of thing.

Galo, on the other hand, seemed only slightly surprised, her brows furrowing slightly.

"My mentor not only taught me to study poetry, but also the art of divination and foresight. Thousand Caves City is a civilized city, but it is about to be engulfed in war. I hope Miss Jialuo can believe me! Moreover, Guan City will soon face disaster, and the relationship between General Sheng and General Su Lie will also break down..."

Lu Xuan decided not to hide it anymore.

In the world of Kings, he doesn't have so many concerns, and now he can only stay here for three days.

Moreover, at this rate, if they don't hurry, Gara will probably find Thousand Caves City engulfed in flames when he returns.

"Brother Su Lie doubts me? Hahaha! How could that be!"

Sheng burst into laughter.

He and Su Lie were drinking and chatting happily; their working relationship was excellent.

"The demonic seed will attack Guan City, causing massive casualties. General Su Lie will believe this is General Sheng's scheme, and from then on... Guan City will disappear in this demonic seed tide..."

Lu Xuan's next words left Sheng speechless.

Under any other circumstances, Su Lie would not turn against him.

But if it really is the demonic tide attack that Lu Xuan described... then, then he really has no way of explaining himself.

Can anyone explain why a city that had just lifted its border guards was suddenly attacked by a horde of demons?

"Aren't you the kind of charlatan who swindles and deceives people? If you dare to interfere with my determination to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty again, I'll lock you up in jail today!"

Sheng was somewhat angry; he had originally intended to be kind to Lu Xuan.

But I never expected that this guy would actually try to sow discord between me and others!

"Sheng! Lu Xuan, I believe you."

Galo suddenly interrupted him, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Lu Xuan, as if trying to see through him.

"Sister Jialuo! This kid is just exaggerating! Don't let his handsome looks fool you! Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Sheng covered his head, looking aggrieved.

He got a flick on the forehead from Jialuo.

“How could it be because of something as handsome as Lu Xuan? A person who can compose a poem like the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River cannot be a person with a despicable heart. I believe in Mr. Lu Xuan.”

Galo blushed slightly and then said seriously.

"Mr. Lu Xuan, you're talking about the Thousand Caves City..."

“Let’s talk on the way. Let’s go back as soon as possible. Maybe we can still salvage the situation. Leave everything on horseback behind. General Sheng, immediately notify General Su Lie to prepare for the defense of Guan City. The demon tide should be coming soon. Make use of your troops as much as possible.”

"I also hope that this trading city can be preserved. I'm sorry."

Lu Xuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Sheng.

"Humph!"

Sheng was somewhat incredulous, but his ear was suddenly pinched by Jialuo.

"Did you hear that? Do as the master says first. If the master lies, I will explain to you! This is a matter of life and death, Sheng, we can't be careless! A general should consider everything carefully!"

Jialuo instructed, "Bring your horse over to Mr. Lu Xuan."

"Waaah, alright, Sister Jialuo, kid, if you're lying, I won't let you go even if you run to the ends of the earth!! Hmph!"

Sheng grunted a few times, but still obediently led his horse over.

All the supplies were seized.

"Does Mr. Lu Xuan know how to ride a horse?"

Galo asked.

"Uh... I know a little bit. Let's go, time waits for no one."

Lu Xuan mounted his horse. He had ridden horses before in his previous life, so he was no stranger to them.

Moreover, he is now a 'strong person' at the Zhan Realm!

Horse riding is not difficult.

"drive!!!"

The whip lashed out.

Galo charged ahead, followed closely by Lu Xuan, who quickly mastered the fine horse.

The two sped back quickly.

Sheng stood there watching the two leave, along with a large pile of poetry books and scrolls left behind by Jialuo.

"General... these things..."

"The waiter beside me said cautiously."

"Take them all back and put them away properly. Not a single one can be missing. These are all things that Sister Jialuo likes."

Sheng gave the order, saying that he was the prince of Yucheng.

The border town was located between Yucheng and the Great Tang Protectorate, and the relationship between them was delicate.

"Someone... immediately inform General Su Lie to prepare for defense. The demonic tide is about to strike. Also, order all the garrison troops of Jade City to come and defend Guan City!! Send more troops! Arrange for people to begin evacuating the merchants and civilians of Guan City!!"

After a few seconds of silence, Sheng finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

His gaze was fixed on the distance.

"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan! If you dare to deceive me, I'll make you pay!!!"

He spoke angrily, then turned and left.
