At the entrance of Tianshangju, Xia Chen saw small words constantly appearing on the system panel.

[Du Laihui: Top Talent]

[Commander: 52 (76), Intelligence: 95 (97), Politics: 92 (96), Fate Characteristics: Able to judge, encounter important decisions, Intelligence +2, Potential: Four Stars, Realm: Confucianism Seventh Grade Environment ]

......

[Su Yan: A first-class talent]

[Commander: 86 (94), Intelligence: 89, Politics: 75 (87), Fate Characteristic 1: Vertical and Horizontal, when leading a large army to fight, Command Value +2, Fate Characteristic 2: Breaking the Alien, when facing an alien race, Command value +4, potential: four stars, realm: Martial Dao 6th level! ]

After Xia Chen read the data of these two people, his eyes lit up. One was a top-level hero and the other was a first-rate hero. Moreover, both of them had unique fate characteristics, especially Su Yan, who actually had two fate characteristics.

"With a basic command value of 94, if he leads a large army to fight against alien races, with the blessing of his fate, his command value can reach the level of a peerless hero: 100, a first-class hero. This explosive potential is quite amazing!"

Xia Chen looked at the heroic and extraordinary young man in the distance with bright eyes.

"Mr. Du, my master wants to see you!"

Lu Chen walked up to Du Laihui and said with a fist salute.

"Who is your master?"

Du Laihui followed Lu Chen's gaze and saw a handsome young man at the door of Tianshangju smiling and nodding at him.

"Master Xia Chenxia?"

"It's my master!"

Lu Chen smiled, then stretched out his hand again to signal Du Laihui to come over.

Du Laihui nodded, without much expression on his face, but his heart was tense. He was indeed invited to attend the opening of Tianshangju today, but the reason he came here was just to give face.

Neither himself nor his family had any connection with Xia Chen before.

They belong to the civil service group, while Xia Chen comes from a military family, so they were originally somewhat opposed to each other. Now that Xia Chen has become a lantern bearer, his identity and position have become even more sensitive.

Du Laihui originally planned to have a meal today, give face and leave. With so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court coming, he, the son of a minister, was not noticeable at all. However, he did not expect Xia Chen to invite him personally.

"Is it that the Military Honor Group wants to use him to cause trouble for us, or is it that the Lantern Bearer is targeting my father?"

Du Laihui was extremely politically sensitive, so he felt a little uneasy inside, but a smile appeared on his face, which was very natural.

"Greetings, Master Xia!"

Du Laihui bowed respectfully.

Although Xia Chen was a few years younger than him, regardless of his background, he was already a Fourth Grade official.

His father, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was only a Third Grade official.

However, as the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he had a noble status in front of others, but in front of Xia Chen, he was nothing.

"Brother Du, you are too polite. Regardless of your official status today, you and I are not much different in age, and we are of the same generation, so you can just call each other brothers!"

Xia Chen smiled, and Du Laihui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to relax completely.

He still couldn't figure out why Xia Chen was looking for him. So many dignitaries had come, why did Xia Chen only look for him in person?

Du Laihui felt that things were not that simple.

With this vigilance in mind, Du Laihui chatted with Xia Chen, and then he felt something was wrong. It seemed that Xia Chen was really just chatting with him?

"Brother Du and I hit it off today. Next time I will treat Brother Du to a drink alone. Brother Du, you go first! Xia Qian, take Brother Du to the fifth floor!"

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Just enough, don't be too attentive, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, there is a long way to go!"

Du Laihui was full of doubts. As smart as he was, he couldn't figure out what Xia Chen was trying to do!

The two of them should have had no intersection before!

Is it really like old times at first sight?

"Mr. Du, your room is on the fifth floor. It was originally supposed to be on the fourth floor. My young master and you hit it off right away, so he moved you up one floor!"

Xia Qian followed behind Du Laihui and said with a smile.

Du Laihui was slightly surprised. Although he thought that there were many powerful people in the court and he was not arrogant, it was only relatively speaking. In fact, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was already a real big official in the court and could be called a big shot.

But according to the original development, with this identity, one can only go to the fourth floor of Xia Chen's restaurant?

"Then I wonder who is on the fifth and sixth floors!"

Du Laihui asked casually!

"On the sixth floor are the Crown Prince, Princess Pingyang, the Third Prince, and Prime Minister Lin's legitimate son, Junior Minister Lin Zihan!

On the fifth floor, there are Ma Song, the commander of the Lantern Man, Shen Di, the legitimate son of the Minister of Works, the legitimate son of the Zhenbei Marquis, the prince of Huai, the legitimate son of the Wushuang Marquis, the legitimate son of the Anle Marquis, the legitimate son of the Jinghai Marquis...”

Xia Qian listed all the names one by one.

Du Laihui's expression became more and more solemn as he listened. No wonder he, the son of a minister, was originally only arranged to stay on the fourth floor.

Today, this small restaurant opened, and almost all of the top military heroes of the entire Great Wu Dynasty were present. Is this the influence of the Xia family in the military hero group?

The fundamental reason why these top military merit groups sent their legitimate sons was because Xia Chen's surname was Xia, and he was the legitimate son of the Zhendong Marquis Mansion, and was in the same camp as them.

What surprised Du Laihui even more was that the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, Princess Pingyang, and even the Young Lord were all here!

Especially the young cabinet minister, the young cabinet minister represents Lin Shoufu, and Lin Shoufu represents the entire civil service group. Is there any meaning in this...

In an instant, Du Laihui thought of a lot of things, and he became even more in awe of Lord Xia whom he met at the door.

......

"Master Xia!"

"Call me Lord He. Our two families are old friends. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Chen!"

A heroic and extraordinary young man stood in front of Xia Chen, and Xia Chen smiled.

When Su Yan heard Xia Chen's kind words, he touched his head and smiled naively.

He looked at Xia Chen with curiosity. This boy who was only a few months older than him was already famous!

But it seems like he's a very easy going person!

"Brother Chen!" Su Yan clasped his fists and shouted generously.

They all came from families of military honors, and although they had never met before, they were naturally close.

This is why so many young men of military honor came to support the event as soon as Xia Chen sent an invitation.

The two of them stood at the door and chatted, and the atmosphere quickly became heated. Compared to Du Lai's previous dullness, Xia Chen and Su Yan's relationship quickly heated up.

"Brother Chen is really powerful now. He is already a top figure among our military honor children."

Su Yan spoke the truth with some envy. Although Xia Chen was still young, he was already in the first echelon among the second and third generation military heroes in terms of his influence in the court.

It's a pity that he didn't follow the path of their military honors, otherwise he might become a leader among them in the future!
