Outside Mingyue Tower, Wei Mao and Zhu Ting bowed and said goodbye, then led Lu Bei into the carriage.
Lu Bei stood behind Wei Mao, smiling and winking at Zhu Kui, constantly provoking the other's anger.
One hundred million experience points, I can't just let it go like this, I'll bleed to death.
Zhu Kui was so angry that his face turned black, but his uncle Zhu Ting was right beside him, so he had to lower his head to look at his feet, punching and kicking Lu Bei in his heart.
In the spiritual world, Lu Bei was not only beaten to death by him, but his corpse was also whipped repeatedly hundreds of times.
Before leaving, Lu Bei wanted to add one last stab, but he caught a glimpse of Zhu Ting's kind smile and decisively stopped, then obediently followed Wei Mao away.
This prefect has a friendly smile, but it's obvious that he is not a good person.
It's not that he's a coward, but as a good guy, he should draw a clear line between himself and the bad guys. Once his level goes up and the line between good and bad becomes blurred, it will be easier for him to talk to the bad guys.
In the carriage, Wei Mao said nothing and stared at Lu Bei quietly.
Lu Bei looked at him as if nothing had happened. After a moment, he whistled and looked away, then he parted the curtains and looked at both sides of the street.
It was a step too late and Yunshui Tower passed by, with only a slight smell of powder drifting into the carriage.
"When the governor and I were alone, Master Kui gave you a lot of benefits, right?"
"No, he offered me money to humiliate me. I was very angry and rejected him on the spot."
"How much did you take?"
"Five thousand taels of silver."
"I want ten thousand."
"make a deal."
On the other side, after Wei Mao's carriage left, Zhu Ting smiled even more kindly and led the trembling Zhu Kui towards the prefectural government.
The atmosphere at the table tonight was harmonious, and both the hosts and the guests were having a great time. He was a little full, so he didn't plan to take a car and decided to take a small route home.
The kind of path where there are no people at night.
When Zhu Ting thought of the blunder at the dinner table, he felt ashamed. This wave of self-humiliation + giving away money + doing favors was simply a stain on his entire life. The fact that Wei Mao did not laugh out loud at the dinner table was a manifestation of his great self-cultivation.
If I don't find a small path to relax, I'll probably wake up in anger tonight.
"I know what you're thinking. Don't bother that kid. This matter is over."
"Uncle, I'm thinking of another thing. Can we take the main road? It's brighter so you won't fall." Zhu Kui looked at the dark path ahead with a sad face. It was as deep and dark as the mouth of a giant beast that would swallow him up in the next second.
"hehe."
…
The next day, Lu Bei did not go to the military camp. Instead, he got a carriage and went straight to the alchemy room.
No, it’s the experience room in the novice area.
Wei Mao did not stop him, nor did he mention keeping Lu Bei by his side and keeping a close watch on him. After what happened at Mingyue Tower, he realized that the ideas of his wife and Senior Sister Bai were totally unnecessary.
Lu Bei won't become a bad person, he is already very bad.
Lu Bei's arrival surprised Lin Bohai. Zhu Kui had given the alchemists in the alchemy room a reassurance yesterday, saying that everything had been settled, the raw materials would be replaced to normal standards, and no one would pursue the matter further.
So the question is, everything is done, why haven't the spies who are collecting evidence left yet
Lin Bohai couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to ask. He continued to play dumb and pretend nothing happened. At Lu Bei's request, he moved four alchemy furnaces to the Mo Yu Alchemy Room one after another.
With five furnaces operating at the same time, experience gained skyrocketed.
This process lasted for seven days. In a few days, Zhu Yan would be coming back from her parents' home. Lu Bei wanted to ask her about the situation of Ling Xiao Sword Sect.
It has been nearly a month and a half, and there has been no news from Bai Jin. There is no news at all as to whether he can go to Lingxiao Sword Sect for further studies, or whether he can learn more advanced experience-earning skills.
It's very ink-stained.
If the head of the sect nodded and let go of the beating he received from his junior brother and the unclear relationship between his wife and his junior brother, he would pack up his bedding, go back to Sanqing Peak first, and then head straight to Lingxiao Sword Sect in Yuezhou.
If the sect leader cannot let go, he will continue to gain experience, and when the renovation of Yuhua Sect is completed, he will return to his hometown and become the sect leader himself.
To be honest, he was still thinking about the litter of little foxes on Sanqing Peak!
I haven’t fed him steamed buns for such a long time, I wonder if he has lost weight.
It's really worrying.
This nest of foxes is of great use to Lu Bei, and he has already regarded it as a sure thing.
Don't get me wrong, he doesn't use it for himself, but it can be of great use in his plan.
Speaking of the plan, Lu Bei immediately thought of Zhu Kui, who came from a wealthy family and had connections, making him a very high-quality partner.
The most important thing is that his surname is Zhu.
In the Wu Zhou Dynasty, this surname represented privilege and was almost unquestionable.
As for the little misunderstanding between the two, Lu Bei didn't think it was a big deal. In the adult world, no matter right or wrong, everyone could make money, and he was determined to make this friend.
…
Zhu Mansion.
The door was closed and Lu Bei was blocked outside, just like that night when Zhu Kui was blocked from entering the Wei Mansion by Wei Mao.
After knocking on the door several times but no one opened it, Lu Bei sighed, feeling that it was really difficult to make friends, and left with the generous gift.
The roast goose wrapped in oil paper was cooked by the chef of Mingyue Tower and bought by Lin Bohai before leaving get off work.
Not long after he left, a carriage stopped hurriedly. Zhu Kui jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door.
After no one answered the door several times, he took a few steps back with a puzzled look on his face, and then confirmed that it was his own home before knocking on the door again.
If you look closely, you will find that this person is not Zhu Kui. They look similar in appearance and figure, but with some slight differences.
His name is Zhu Bo, Zhu Kui’s eldest brother. He went out on business some time ago and just came back today.
As the knock on the door spread, the servant opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Master, you are back."
"It's not even dark yet, why is the door closed?"
Zhu Bo frowned and asked, "Where is the Second Master? Is he out fooling around again?"
"Sir, the Second Master has been in the mansion these days. The gate was closed because some scoundrels came to cause trouble. The Second Master was so annoyed that he told us to lock the door and ignore them." The servant replied truthfully.
"What?"
Zhu Bo was extremely surprised: "Please say it again, I don't understand."
"Some scoundrels came to cause trouble, and the Second Master ordered us to close the door and ignore them."
"It's really strange that there would be a day when our Zhu family's door is blocked." Zhu Bo was amused. He asked where Zhu Kui was and waved his hand to ask the servants to prepare some food and send it over.
"Second brother, I'm back... Hey, second brother, what happened to you?"
In the backyard, Zhu Bo was shocked. In his sight, Zhu Kui had bruises on the corners of his eyes, as if he had been…
It's not like that, it's just that I was scolded by someone.
"Brother, you're back!"
Zhu Kui stood up to greet him, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes, and lowered his head in shame: "Brother, don't worry, I fell down when I was walking at night."
"How can this be possible!"
Brothers are connected by heart. Zhu Bo couldn't bear to see his brother being humiliated, so he said angrily, "Don't be afraid, second brother. I have your back. Just tell me the name of the man who humiliated you, and I will break his legs."
"Brother, be careful with your words."
Zhu Kui quickly grabbed his eldest brother and whispered, "That night, my uncle and I were walking at night and I accidentally fell."
Hearing this, Zhu Bo fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Be careful when you walk at night next time. You are not a child anymore. You can't keep falling down."
"Brother, what you said is very true."
Zhu Kui smiled awkwardly, raised his hand to touch his face, and grinned again.
"What happened? You fell so badly, but your uncle still refuses to let you take medicine?" Zhu Bo asked curiously.
"this… "
Facing his elder brother, Zhu Kui didn't want to hide anything, but it was really hard to say, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, but you have to promise not to laugh after listening."
"Second brother, what you said is true. Even if we are brothers, we are still connected. I can laugh at anyone but you!"
"That's true."
Zhu Kui thought that this was the truth, so he explained the whole process truthfully.
Then…
"Hahaha-"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter!"
