Chapter 196: Reporting in Beijing, Master and Disciple Confronting

When Zhao Ya saw that it was Shang Luoluo's invitation, he was a little surprised.

Because since he came back from Wuxiang City, Shang Luoluo had not shown up.

Except for the first day of the new year, Shang Luoluo sent someone to send Zhao Ya a congratulatory letter, and there was no news.

Why did he suddenly send an invitation now?

But since he was invited, it proved that something must be going on.

Although he knew many people in the county, there were not many who could be called friends.

Shang Luoluo happened to be one of them, so Zhao Ya did not hesitate, and simply packed up and went to the invitation.

Shang Mansion.

Over the past year, the entire Yunxiao County has undergone earth-shaking changes, but this mansion seems to be independent of the world and has not changed at all.

Zhao Ya did not enter from the main gate, but chose to fly in directly, and then came to the bamboo forest garden behind with ease.

When he landed in the courtyard, a chuckle came from the house.

"By the way, do you also climb over the wall to enter other girls' houses like this?"

Hearing this teasing remark, Zhao Ya's heart instantly calmed down.

Because being able to tease means that the matter is not serious, at least not that serious.

So he also laughed.

"This is the score situation. For example, if this girl has prepared wine and food and is waiting in the house, I will naturally seize the time and rush over as soon as possible."

As he said, Zhao Ya stepped into the house.

There was a table near the window, and a girl was sitting next to the table. She was wearing a long dress, simple and elegant, and it was Shang Luoluo.

On the table were several exquisite side dishes and a jar of Feixian wine.

After seeing Zhao Ya, Shang Luoluo smiled lightly.

"You came just in time. The wine and food have just been prepared and taste great. Let's try it first."

Zhao Ya was not polite. He sat directly opposite Shang Luoluo, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

"How does it taste?"

After Zhao Ya took a few bites, Shang Luoluo asked.

"Well, it's good, but it doesn't seem to be the craftsmanship of Feixianju. Which restaurant in the city has hired a chef?" Zhao Ya said while eating.

"I made it myself." Shang Luoluo smiled.

Zhao Ya was stunned and looked up at Shang Luoluo.

"Why are you looking at me with such a strange look? Do you think I'm just a pampered young lady who doesn't touch women's water?" Shang Luoluo smiled.

"No, I'm just a little surprised."

Zhao Ya put down his chopsticks and looked at Shang Luoluo very seriously.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Shang Luoluo sighed slightly, "I can't hide it from you."

Then she looked up at Zhao Ya, "I'm leaving."

"Where to?"

"To the capital."

"What for?"

"My father's term of office has expired, and he should go to Beijing to report on his work after the new year."

Hearing this reason, the expression on Zhao Ya's face suddenly became very strange.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? To be honest, I also think it's ridiculous." Shang Luoluo smiled bitterly.

"After all, who in the world nowadays would take Dayan's orders seriously? But my father is different. He has been well-read since he was a child and has always regarded himself as a loyal minister and a good general. So when the transfer order came, he immediately prepared to set off to return to Beijing."

Zhao Ya suddenly didn't know what to say. After a long silence, he asked, "Will it be dangerous after going to the capital?"

Shang Luoluo shook his head, "It shouldn't be dangerous. Although Wei Hongbin died in Yunxiao County, this matter has nothing to do with my father. The Wei family should not cause trouble for this. Besides, even if they want to cause trouble, they have to think about it."

"After all, my father also has friends in the capital."

"When will you leave?" Zhao Ya asked again.

"It will be in the next few days, no later than this month."

"Then... I wish you a safe journey!" Zhao Ya smiled slightly and raised the wine glass.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Shang Luoluo's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and then she also picked up the wine glass and smiled.

"Thank you!"

Shang Luoluo drank the wine very quickly, almost finishing it in one gulp, and then she choked and coughed, and her face flushed.

Zhao Ya handed over a piece of paper, and Shang Luoluo took it, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then laughed.

"Actually, after you came back from Wuxiang City, I wanted to visit you, but I didn't expect that the transfer order from the capital came down at this time. I was busy for a long time for this, and I didn't finish it until today."

"So this meal should be the last meal we have before we part, and I don't know when we will see each other again!"

At the end, Shang Luoluo's expression was a little gloomy.

In this era of inconvenient transportation and no mobile phones, an inconspicuous farewell may be a farewell forever, not to mention going to the capital thousands of miles away from the county city.

If nothing unexpected happens, they may never see each other again.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, nor did he persuade her too much. He just silently accompanied Shang Luoluo to finish the jar of Feixian wine, then stood up and said.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first!"

Shang Luoluo was a little drunk at this time. She looked at Zhao Ya with drunken eyes and suddenly laughed.

"Go, I should go to bed too!"

Zhao Ya nodded, jumped out of the window, and disappeared after a few leaps.

Shang Luoluo stared at the direction he left, his eyes rolling, and I don't know what he was thinking.

At the same time, Zhao Ya returned to his small courtyard next to the martial arts hall.

Zui'er had already fallen asleep, but when Zhao Ya had just fallen, a voice suddenly came from under the tree.

"I'm home?"

Zhao Ya was slightly startled.

Because he didn't notice anyone in the courtyard before, but soon he bowed his head and shouted.

"Master!"

Sitting under the tree was Lu Dingtai.

I saw him looking at Zhao Ya, and seemed to smell the alcohol on him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When do Shang Jingchuan and his daughter plan to leave?"

Zhao Ya was shocked again.

I went out after receiving Shang Luoluo's invitation. I didn't have any contact with anyone from the martial arts school during the whole process, so how did the master know?

"You underestimate Master's ability too much. I heard that the Imperial Court of Dayan issued a transfer order to Shang Jingchuan before the Chinese New Year, and planned to transfer him back to Beijing to take up a post. Now it's almost time, at the latest They should leave at the end of this month!”

Zhao Ya finally understood that although his master Lu Dingtai seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs and only wrote and maintained his health in the martial arts hall all day long, in fact he knew everything about the major and minor affairs that happened in the county.

Zhao Ya didn't hide anything, so he roughly told the story of how Shang Luoluo invited him over for dinner.

After listening, Lu Dingtai sighed.

"Shang Jingchuan is pedantic by nature and doesn't know how to adapt. I didn't expect that the daughter he gave birth to would be so smart and alert."

After sighing with emotion, Lu Dingtai looked at Zhao Ya.

"Do you know why I have to wait for you to come back late at night?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Zhao Ya was indeed a little confused.

Although I traveled late at night and had a drink with Shang Luoluo outside, it wasn't too much.

At least it shouldn't alert Master Lu Dingtai to come in person.

Lu Dingtai smiled and suddenly changed the topic, "How is your current level of cultivation?"

"It's still half a step to the five realms!" Zhao Ya replied honestly.

Although the recent period of hard training has improved all aspects of martial arts skills, overall the progress is not too great.

This also means that Zhao Ya has entered a bottleneck period.

"Come on, attack me with all your strength and let me see what your current strength is!" Lu Dingtai said.

"Now?"

"That's right, now, stop talking nonsense and take action!"

Zhao Ya didn't dare to ask again.

Lu Dingtai has always had a very hot temper, especially when it comes to taking action.

Since he said he would use all his strength, Zhao Ya did not dare to hide his secrets at all.

He took a deep breath, and with the blessing of his heart's gift of turning his heart into red, the energy and blood in his body boiled instantly.

Not only that, the sea of ​​blood stored in the liver also burst out.

"Master, be careful!"

Zhao Ya felt that the muscles all over his body were rattling, and his figure even increased by several inches. The powerful momentum even caused the air around him to form small cyclones.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dingtai's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Good boy, come here and let me see how much you weigh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ya took action.

Speaking of which, this was Zhao Ya's first time to attack with all his strength, and he did it when his whole body was adjusted to its peak state.

There was nothing fancy about this punch, only extremely powerful, and it instantly crossed the distance between the two and hit Lu Dingtai.

"Well done!"

Even though the fist was coming, Lu Dingtai still didn't forget to praise him, and then in the blink of an eye, he raised a single palm and forcefully caught Zhao Ya's punch.

Boom!

There was an extremely dull loud noise, and an invisible ripple spread rapidly around the two of them.

The nearest stone table bore the brunt of the impact and was instantly shattered into small pieces the size of a baby's fist. Then the water tank and flower pond not far away was not spared and was shattered into pieces.

boom!

When most of the wall was collapsed, the power of the shock wave was fully released.

Looking at the courtyard, it was a mess.

Except for the stone bench where Lu Dingtai was sitting and the big tree behind him, everything was gone.

The loud noise naturally woke up the drunkard in the house.

She thought there was an earthquake, so she put on her clothes and ran outside.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Zhao Ya confronting Lu Dingtai. He couldn't help but be startled, then stopped and shouted.

"Master, Brother Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"

These words were like a clarion call to withdraw troops on the battlefield. Zhao Ya took a few steps back, his face flushed and his arms trembling slightly.

On the other hand, Lu Dingtai was still sitting on the stone bench, his whole body motionless.

It can be said that the judgment is made.

Zhao Ya was impressed in his heart and couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "Master, I lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clicking sound, and the stone bench under Lu Dingtai finally could not withstand the pressure, and cracks appeared.

Then I heard Lu Dingtai burst out laughing.

"Actually, you don't lose. After all, I am higher than you in terms of realm. You can force me to use 70% of my strength to deal with it with the strength of half-step five realms. You can't even save the stone bench under you. This shows your strength. It’s enough to be proud of!”
