In the quiet courtyard.

Xiao Zining sat across from a family of three, with a sumptuous meal on the table.

The four of them were talking and laughing, and laughter like silver bells could be heard from time to time.

After having enough wine and food, Mrs. Zhuo took Xiaoqu and left first, leaving Xiao Zining and the head of the Zhuo family alone.

The head of the Zhuo family poured Xiao Zining a glass of wine.

"Brother Xiao, let me toast you!"

Zhuo Hong proudly raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Zining also drank every drop of the wine in the glass.

Zhuo Hong laughed heartily, and the more he looked at Xiao Zining, the more he liked him.

The two drank wine and talked freely under the moonlight.

It was only then that Xiao Zining realized why the second son of the Zhuo family wanted to go against him.

It turns out that Zhuo Hong and the second eldest son of the Zhuo family are just half-brothers, and Zhuo Hong has just taken over as the head of the Zhuo family.

It appeared that some people were not very convinced of Zhuo Hong.

Zhuo Hong sighed, raised his head and drank heavily, and then placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Bang--"

"I made you laugh, but those people won't be able to dance for much longer!"

A terrifying light burst out from his eyes.

Xiao Zining was secretly frightened. The strong killing intent that just erupted from Zhuo Hong made him feel numb.

That's right, how can a person who can become the head of a family have no scheming skills at all?

Although the Zhuo family was only a third-rate family, Xiao Zining did not dare to underestimate Zhuo Hong. This man was not simple.

Xiao Zining should not have had too much contact with people in the Song Dynasty Emperor City.

But he knew nothing about the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty. Now he had no specific plan to sneak into the imperial palace. Maybe he could learn something from Zhuo Hong's mouth.

The two of them just chatted and even talked about Governor Song.

Xiao Zining was also very curious about Governor Song.

"Do you want to know why Governor Song wants to help us?"

Zhuo Hong asked him with a smile.

After Xiao Zining poured Zhuo Hong a glass of wine, he said lightly, "I'm a little curious."

"The things here are too complicated. I can only tell you that he and the Lin family are not from the same school."

It turns out that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not an inheritance system, but there are also bloodline restrictions. The emperor must be a Song clan member with pure blood.

"The faction that Governor Song belongs to is another lineage besides the current generation of emperors."

"As long as they are members of the Song tribe with pure blood, they are eligible to become candidates for the emperor. Candidates for the emperor can also become emperors. It depends on their abilities."

A bright light flashed in Xiao Zining's mind.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Then Governor Song, maybe we can cooperate with him.

Xiao Zining was thinking secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He changed the topic and chatted about other things.

Only then did Xiao Zining find out that the Zhuo family did not only have a daughter, Xiaoqu, but they also had a 21-year-old son.

was asked about his son.

Zhuo Hong looked proud, as if this son made him very proud.

"He went to participate in the imperial palace's guard selection. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

he sighed.

Xiao Zining's heart moved, "How do you say this?"

Zhuo Hong, who had had a little drink, talked about his son non-stop.

"That child has been smart since he was a child. He can learn anything immediately. His talent in martial arts is also very outstanding. At only twenty-one years old, he has already reached the middle stage of the second level of Transcendence."

"Everyone praises his talent, but in fact only we know how hard that kid really works."

Zhuo Hong's eyes revealed a look of distress.

At the age of twenty-one, he has reached the middle stage of the second level of Transcendence, and his talent is really good.

Xiao Zijing listened quietly. Finally, Zhuo Hong talked about what he was most concerned about.

"I know this kid has ambitions, but once he enters the imperial palace, he will be tied to the imperial palace for the rest of his life..."

"Once you plant that heart-eating Gu, there is no room for turning back!"
