In the tavern of Wanshitang, Ah Qi was leading the way for Lu Li in front of him and then respectfully. When the drinkers in the tavern saw this scene, they all looked at him in surprise.
Some alert guys immediately focused their attention on Lu Li's face.
Seeing that overly young face, they couldn't help but start to guess what the origin of this young man who could make Wanshitang's "Seventh Master" so respectful to was.
A descendant of an aristocratic family? The descendant of a hidden family? Or...a nobleman from the palace
All kinds of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, and a few warriors who thought they were quite powerful had a fierce look in their eyes and started to think crookedly.
In a place like South Street, where good and bad people are mixed, all kinds of people exist. There are many desperadoes who are willing to take risks for a hefty ransom. A 'young master from aristocratic family' with tender skin and tender flesh has always been the target of these desperadoes.
Sensing those malicious glances, Lu Li turned around and smiled at the 'desperados' with fierce eyes.
Seeing this smile, several desperadoes seemed to be provoked, and one guy with a hot temper subconsciously wanted to stand up and catch up.
Most of the people who can hang out in this tavern have some background or are strong enough. They are not afraid of anything, let alone Ah Qi.
Even if Ah Qi was with Lu Li, they still dared to attack him.
"If you don't want to die, don't chase after him."
However.
When the guy stood up, the middle-aged man drinking alone across the table suddenly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, the warrior's movements froze a little. After such a delay, Lu Li and Ah Qi in sight had already passed through the secret door of the tavern and entered the scope of Wanshitang Hall.
There are no real fools who can hang out in South Street, but they all care about face. The warrior's intention to get up and catch up was too obvious. At this moment, he suddenly froze in place. He suddenly felt that he was embarrassed. He looked up at the middle-aged man who was drinking alone and said in an evil voice: "Drunkard, give me an explanation!"
Such an obvious act of expressing anger failed to make the middle-aged man nicknamed the drunkard angry.
He just shook his head and sighed: "Idiot, I saved your life."
"How can a person who can be treated with such care by Ah Qi be the same as the good-for-nothing family member you kidnapped before?"
"so what?"
The warrior frowned and said, "Even if he has some abilities, we brothers are not helpless."
"Haha." The drunkard took a sip of his wine and laughed noncommittally. He looked at him and said, "I'll teach you another lesson. If you want to hang out in the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian, you have to keep your eyes open and know who the people are. It’s something you can’t mess with.”
"Looking at the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, in addition to the royal family, the nine kings, and the major top families, there are many people who cannot be provoked."
"Wearing a green robe, he looks like a young man, with long hair tied high, and he has a relationship with Wanshitang. With such obvious features, didn't you think of someone?"
As soon as these words came out, many people in the tavern looked thoughtful.
Some warriors who were well-informed had their expressions change dramatically. They hurriedly took out their money, slapped it on the table, and left without looking back.
There were several other warriors who also guessed something. Although they did not leave, their faces turned pale with fear.
One person said with a wry smile: "The drunkard is right, he did save your life."
"That boy... is the 'Demon King' Lu Li."
Wow!
As these four words entered his ears, the warrior who had originally wanted to get up to stop Lu Li weakened and collapsed uncontrollably, knocking over the table full of food and wine and spilling all over his companions.
But his companions didn't move at all, and their faces looked like they were surviving a disaster.
"I would like to advise you that the 'Devil King' is in a good mood right now. He may have important matters at hand and is too lazy to argue with you. If he still sees you when he comes out, your lives will not be saved."
The drunkard picked up a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, and said quietly.
The companions who had been spilled wine and food suddenly woke up from a dream, quickly picked up the warrior who collapsed on the ground, and left the tavern without looking back.
"Tsk tsk, it's such a bad year. The 'evil ghost' that everyone is afraid of met the 'devil king'. Do you think this is extremely unlucky?" The drunkard looked at the figures of those people running away in embarrassment, and even had some thoughts. Go back and banter with the others.
The others were silent, no one dared to speak.
The drunkard felt bored and stopped teasing them. He looked directly at the secret door of the tavern with a hint of thought.
…
"Master Lu, you are a rare visitor. What a rare visitor."
In the Wanshitang Hall, Zhao Shanhe had already received the news from Ah Qi and came to greet Lu Li. He smiled boldly and said, "If I had known that Mr. Lu would visit today, I should have arranged a table with good wine and good food."
"Second Brother Zhao is too polite. The relationship between you and me is so harsh."
Lu Li smiled, his eyes filled with meaning: "Aren't we friends?"
Zhao Shanhe was startled when he heard this, but he thought of the scene when Lu Li came to Wanshitang for the first time.
Although it was only a few months ago, it felt like a lifetime ago to Zhao Shanhe.
At that time, Lu Li was only a third-grade guard in Prince Yan's Mansion, with no traces of cultivation on his body. He dared to break into the Wanshitang Hall to negotiate terms with him with a guard from the Listening to Thunder Realm, and even spent a lot of money with him. make friends'.
Zhao Shanhe knew a lot of people when doing this kind of intelligence business, but he had never seen such a bold young man as Lu Li.
From that moment on, Zhao Shanhe had a vague feeling that Lu Li's future must be promising. Perhaps one day, Wanshitang would have to rely on this young man to become stronger.
But Zhao Shanhe never dreamed that this day would come so quickly.
The young man at the beginning has now transformed into the general manager of foreign affairs in Prince Yan's Mansion. He is a very important minister.
In addition, the big event he did in Yanzhou had already reached Zhao Shanhe's ears.
Including Lu Li's current name.
'Demon King'!
He single-handedly suppressed the Sanzhou families and bloodbathed more than half of the ancient families in Yanzhou.
Now Lu Li can be said to be a 'one-man rich man'. As long as he nods, he can support a powerful force overnight.
That's why Zhao Shanhe subconsciously used a fawning attitude towards Lu Li.
But after hearing Lu Li's reminder, Zhao Shanhe suddenly realized, and at the same time secretly sighed, it is not easy to achieve peace of mind despite being successful at a young age.
These thoughts only circulated in Zhao Shanhe's mind, and then Zhao Shanhe changed his expression and said with a smile: "You're right, we are friends, there is no need to be so hostile. Brother Lu is here in person today, so he should We have something important to discuss, so come over here."
Hearing that Zhao Shanhe actually called Lu Li 'Brother Lu', Ah Qi felt his heart beat hard twice. He swallowed his saliva and observed the expression on Lu Li's face without revealing any trace, and found that he seemed to He didn't mean to be angry, so he relaxed a little, and sighed at the same time, the second master is the second master, and he is not ordinary courageous.
But he was just thinking about these thoughts in his mind, and it was impossible to say them out.
After letting out a sarcastic laugh, Ah Qi quickly led Lu Li forward.
Still in front of the square table, Zhao Shanhe made a pot of tea himself, poured a cup for Lu Li, and winked at Ah Qi.
Ah Qi understood immediately, turned around and stood guard in front of the secret door to ensure that no one would enter the Wanshitang Hall.
Not even a member of Wanshitang.
"Brother Lu, try this tea. This is a good thing sent by the merchants of Tianming Kingdom."
"Tianming Kingdom? That is the territory of Zhengdao."
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea and smelled it. After taking a sip, he smiled and said, "It seems that Second Brother Zhao has indeed managed Wanshitang well. Now he can even take on the business of righteous merchants."
"We are all just trying to make a living, so what kind of righteous path is there?"
Zhao Shanhe also smiled, waved his hand to express that there was no need to say this, and then held the teacup and said: "Brother Lu can come to the door in person, and what he is asking for is definitely not a trivial matter. Although Wanshitang has expanded a lot now, in many cases, we are still smaller than But it’s not from Tianbu.”
This is a hint.
If the Ministry of Heaven is controlled by the Divine Religion, it is considered an internal secret, and it is impossible for outsiders to know the details.
But Zhao Shanhe suddenly mentioned Tianbu, which proved that he must have a source of information.
