In this way, the two chatted and soon arrived at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

But as soon as they stepped into the hall, a man suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Fan Xian, you thief, do you still have the nerve to see me again?"

Fan Xian was frightened and looked at the man with a puzzled look on his face.

"Who are you?"

The man opposite immediately said angrily, "How can this be? I attacked and injured someone that day, and now you're pretending not to know me?"

Fan Xian carefully observed the other person again, and after a moment, an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Guo, long time no see. Look, your injury is almost healed. That's great, that's great."

This person is none other than Guo Baokun, one of the two young characters from the series "Joy of Life" (Crouching Dragon and Phoenix).

The other person is Fan Xian's younger brother, Versace.

Although many things have gone astray due to Lu Xiao's existence.

But he and Guo Baokun still formed an "indissoluble bond".

In the end, just like in the original novel, Fan Xian beat Guo Baokun like a mummy, and he lay in bed for several months.

Lu Xiao knew about this.

Guo Baokun slapped Fan Xian's hand away and said angrily.

"How dare you forget me!"

Fan Xian immediately said, "Be careful with your words. You sound like a nagging woman. People who don't know us will misunderstand our relationship."

Lu Xiao beside him couldn't help but laugh.

Guo Baokun became even angrier upon seeing this, and immediately Fan Xian said.

"You evil villain, I remember everything you did. Fan Xian, I'm telling you, I'm going to see you ruined and ruined right here, right here, today."

At this moment, a stern voice sounded behind Guo Baokun.

"Nonsense!"

Guo Baokun looked back and immediately became scared.

Because the person who came was none other than his father, the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi.

"Don't you see what kind of occasion this is? Go back and sit down!"

Guo Youzhi was very disappointed that he could not make the iron into steel.

I wonder why he, the Minister of Rites, would give birth to such a stupid son.

If he didn't have only this one biological son, he would have definitely crushed him to death.

It is a thing that does more harm than good.

After hearing what his father said, Guo Baokun didn't dare to say another word.

He replied obediently: "Yes, father."

Then he glared at Fan Xian fiercely before leaving.

Guo Youzhi then stepped forward and said, "I am sorry for your indecency, Master Fan, please forgive me."

Fan Xian asked unhappily, "Who are you?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "This is Guo Baokun's father, the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi. From what his son just said, it seems someone might be targeting you at the banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests today. Just be on your own."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Youzhi's expression changed instantly.

Then he immediately said: "I am just talking nonsense, who are you?"

Fan Xian took the initiative again and said, "Master Guo, let me introduce you. This is Lu Xiao, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute."

After hearing Lu Xiao's name, Guo Youzhi couldn't help but tremble.

Then he immediately bowed and said, "It's Master Lu."

Lu Xiao's reputation in the Southern Qing court is terrifying.

After all, he even captured the son of Prime Minister Lin and sentenced him to be executed in the autumn.

Emperor Qing did not object to this matter.

Lin Xiang himself did not specifically target the Inspection Office afterward.

This shows that Lin Xiang was a coward.

Even Prime Minister Lin had to swallow his loss, so other officials in the court really didn't dare to offend Lu Xiao.

At this time, Lu Xiao looked at Guo Youzhi with a smile.

"Minister Guo, before I entered the palace today, my men arrested a driver who had committed a crime. He confessed that a few nights ago, he was ordered by his master to secretly escort an old man to the palace gates. I think you are a good person, Lord Guo. Today, in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, you must remember to be careful with your words."

In fact, anyone who has watched the TV series should know that neither Guo Baokun nor Guo Youzhi are actually bad people.

To put it bluntly, Guo Youzhi was also harmed by Li Yunrui.

Now, in the Nanqing court, Prime Minister Lin, the head of all officials, has already pledged his support, and there are no major problems with the Inspection Office.

Then Lu Xiao would naturally have to find a way to control the other six divisions.

At this moment, Guo Youzhi had handed him the handle, so how could he not take advantage of it?

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Guo Youzhi's face turned pale instantly.

Chapter 236 Deadly Wine

"You, what do you mean?"

Guo Youzhi asked with a pale face.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's nothing special. I just wanted to remind you, Lord Guo, that I want to establish a good relationship with you. After all, it's important to think carefully before choosing a side, lest you accidentally bring trouble to your family. That's all I have to say. Lord Guo, please make your own decision."

After saying this, Lu Xiao ignored the other party and continued walking inside with Fan Xian.

Fan Xian asked quietly, "Do you know something?"

Lu Xiao said, "Well, someone hired Zhuang Mohan to target you."

Fan Xian asked, "Who is it?"

Lu Xiao said, "Who else could it be? Your mother-in-law. But instead of worrying about that, you should think carefully about how to break the deadlock later. I'm looking forward to you, the world's best writer of seven-character verse, competing with the world's literary giant Zhuang Mohan, hahahaha."

Fan Xian's face darkened. "No, my poem is..."

He couldn't pronounce the last word.

At this moment, he deeply regretted why he had copied the poem "Climbing the High Mountain" at the Prince Jing's poetry gathering.

Alas, it's all my fault.

After seeing Fan Xian transformed into a frost-bitten eggplant, Lu Xiao smiled and continued forward.

After a few steps he walked to his seat and sat down.

His position is the first on the left in the main group.

The main position is naturally Emperor Qing.

The people behind him are the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

If Chen Pingping came, there would be nothing wrong with sitting here.

But Lu Xiao's presence immediately aroused the curiosity of the officials in the room.

They really didn't expect that Emperor Qing would attach so much importance to Lu Xiao.

The person sitting opposite Lu Xiao was the eldest princess, Li Yunrui.

On the other side, Fan Xian also sat down with a worried look on his face as he took the position of an official in the Honglu Temple.

But he was in no mood to drink or eat at this moment.

Sitting at his seat, Lu Xiao gently picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, then frowned.

This wine is too bad.

Then he pushed his wine glass aside with a look of disgust.

His action was seen by Li Yunrui who was standing opposite him.

Li Yunrui immediately asked, "It seems that Lord Lu doesn't like the palace wine?"

Although it was a question, it was actually pointing out that Lu Xiaosan Temple's neighbor Qi Emu Lu Shiba (four) looked down on the wine given by the emperor.

Lu Xiao was very understanding of Li Yunrui's unkindness.

After all, the previous host, Zhu Ge, was Li Yunrui's confidant.

The result was resolved by Lu Xiao.

In addition, Lin Gong had previously planned to assassinate Fan Xian under the instructions of Li Yunrui.

Therefore, there was a deep hatred between the two of them.

If Lu Xiao hadn't been the head of the Inspection Institute and hadn't been displaying the cultivation of a ninth-grade warrior, Li Yunrui would have likely found a way to kill him long ago.

After hearing what Li Yunrui said, Lu Xiao smiled and said.

"I really don't like it. I didn't expect the wine in the palace to be so bad."

When these words were spoken, not only Li Yunrui, but even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince who were sitting next to Lu Xiao were stunned.

This kind of talk is outrageous.

Li Yunrui then said, "What kind of wine would please Lord Lu? Tell me what you like. I will replace it for you later, as requested by His Majesty."

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "No need, I'll bring it myself."

After saying that, he touched it with his backhand.

When he raised his hand, there was already a wine gourd in his hand.

Almost all Lu Xiaos carry this thing with them.

He went to a banquet in the palace and actually brought his own wine.

This scene left many people stunned.

But then everyone knew why Lu Xiao brought his own wine.

Because when Lu Xiao pulled the gourd away.

A strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

As the aroma hit everyone's noses, an intoxicated expression immediately appeared on their faces, and their minds seemed to reflect the most wonderful things they thought.

Even those who don't like drinking alcohol on weekdays couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled this.

"Is this immortal wine?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but agree with what Lu Xiao had just said.

Although none of them had ever drunk Lu Xiao's wine.

But just by the taste, everyone was convinced that the palace wine was indeed terrible.

At this time, Li Yunrui on the opposite side couldn't help but say.

"I'm so surprised that you, Lord Lu, look down on the palace wine. It turns out you have such a fine wine in your collection. I wonder if I could have the honor of tasting it?"

She was really greedy, because at that moment she also saw what she wanted most.

She wanted to see it again, otherwise she wouldn't have said that at this moment.

What a pity, Lu Xiao shook his head.

"No, it's not that I'm stingy, but if you want to drink my wine, you must have a certain level of martial arts cultivation. If your cultivation is not enough, drinking my wine may be fatal."

When these words came out, the people in the hall naturally did not believe them.

Everyone thought this was Lu Xiao's excuse.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall.
