"Old Four, how is your injury?"
In a quiet courtyard in Dashengguan, Zhu Bo found Feng Si. Seeing that he was pale and coughing non-stop, he took out some medicine and handed it to him.
"It's okay. I won't die."
Feng Si took the medicine and complained, "Boss, I was badly hurt by Second Master this time. That kid has superb skills and I am far from his opponent."
The information came from Zhu Bo. Feng Si didn't dare to say anything bad about his own boss, so he put the blame on Zhu Kui.
There is no mistake. Zhu Kui is the first-hand source of intelligence. Any mistakes are his fault.
Zhu Bo knew he was embarrassed, and said doubtfully: "Although my second brother is usually unreliable, he has been in business for many years and has a keen eye. Is that guy really as good as you said? Or did you just play around and get caught by accident?"
"Boss, do I look like I was careless?"
Feng Si smiled bitterly and said, "That boy has learned military swordsmanship and has a deep attainment. He also has a strong bloody energy. He knocked me to the ground with just one strike. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he gave Second Master some face and gave me the pills to take. He didn't make it difficult for me."
Zhu Bo nodded. The man opposite him had a very good sense of propriety in handling matters and was a real character.
In this case, let Zhu Kui bring some gifts to apologize and we can become friends, which will be a good thing.
"Boss, you must remember to let the Second Master be more accurate in judging people in the future. This kid is not just an average cultivator."
Feng Si was still upset and added, "If I'm not mistaken, judging from the level of that sword strike alone, his cultivation is not inferior to yours, Boss."
"I see."
Zhu Bo nodded, becoming more convinced of the idea of making friends.
"One more thing..."
Feng Si smiled awkwardly and lowered his head, saying, "Boss, don't get carried away after hearing this."
"Old Four, with your current tone, it's hard for me not to get carried away."
"My Qiankun bag was stolen by that kid. In addition to a few rare items, the token was also inside."
"… "
Zhu Bo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't utter a word for a long time.
Dengtianmen has a bad reputation. Although he is not hated by everyone, he is the type of person who has few friends.
main reason…
Once the ancestral grave is involved, it is difficult for everyone to sit down and talk calmly. It is a very realistic problem. Who knows if Dengtianmen will be passed down from generation to generation and will ruin their own graves a hundred years later.
Also, a business of grave digging can actually form gangs and alliances. How shameless!
The people in the cultivation world seemed calm on the surface, but they were cursing behind their backs. Then they quickly called their friends and dug up all the secret ruins before reaching the Heavenly Gate.
This is how cultivating immortality works.
Of course, Zhu Bo looked unhappy not only because Feng Si’s identity was exposed, but also because of another more important reason.
Zhu Ting, the governor of Dongqi County, and Lin Boxian, the manager of Dashengguan of Huangji Sect, both had private contacts with Dengtianmen.
Every time Zhu Bo went out to the fields, he would classify the items he found into different grades. He would deal with the ordinary items directly or hand them over to his own business for processing. The high-quality items would pass through Zhu Ting's hands and then be handed over to Lin Boxian for processing.
We all make money, we all practice the skills, and we all share the magic weapons. The cooperation has been very pleasant so far.
Now it's not pleasant.
If this matter gets out, the reputation of both of them will be ruined.
Affect your career!
"It's really weird..."
Zhu Bo cursed inwardly. Last time, Zhu Kui mistook Lu Bei for a spy and exposed himself as paying a favor. This time it was his turn. He looked down upon such small tricks and exposed someone even more ruthless.
Nothing good has happened to the two brothers since they met Lu Bei.
What made Zhu Bo feel most unfair was that he and Lu Bei had never met each other and had never even met each other. Why should he have such bad luck
"Brother, the Qiankun bag is in that kid's hand. I think he has seen the token. This matter... you make the decision, I will listen to you."
"… "
"Brother, say something!"
"Talk about bullshit, I'm going home to get the money."
…
Wei Mansion, backyard.
There is a stone table and stone bench under the tree, two pots of fine wine, and a few plates of exquisite side dishes.
The Zhu brothers brought generous gifts to the house, and Lu Bei hosted them. Wei Mao was not present. When he saw the Dengtianmen token, he had some guesses in his mind but did not express them. If he were present, Zhu Ting would most likely think that he was taking the opportunity to blackmail him.
This is inappropriate and not the way to be an official.
Lu Bei raised his glass and said with a smile, "My two brothers, my eldest cousin has been an official for many years but has not made much money, so his family is poor. If I have not treated you well, please forgive me for his integrity. I will drink a glass to apologize first."
The Zhu brothers didn't look very good. They picked up their glasses and drank together, both looking unhappy.
"Master Kui, why are you just drinking without using your chopsticks?"
"Master Bo, I have long heard of your great name. I would like to offer you a toast."
"… "
After three cups of wine, Lu Bei kept saying "eat well and drink well" but never mentioned the token. Zhu Kui couldn't help but glance at his elder brother, and seeing that he remained silent, he spoke first.
"Brother Lu, the blame for what happened today lies with me. Here is a small gift to you. Since you are a magnanimous person, please accept it."
Zhu Kui drank three cups in a row, and then took out the prepared food box: "The grudge between you and me is just a misunderstanding. I have already accepted it and will not cause trouble for myself again in the future."
"Brother Kui's words are so incoherent that they confuse me."
Lu Bei took the food box and put it directly into his Qiankun bag without even glancing at it. He then asked in confusion, "What happened today? Wasn't the little misunderstanding between you and me resolved in Mingyue Tower a long time ago?"
"Brother Lu, I have already admitted defeat. Please stop teasing me." Zhu Kui shook his head repeatedly.
"Brother Kui misunderstood. I was paid to do this and forgot all about it."
Lu Bei replied with a smile. Under the surprised gaze of the Zhu brothers, he placed the Qiankun bag that Feng Si had lost on the street in front of them. "It's really annoying. Today, a group of thieves robbed my carriage and used your name to attack me. I was furious and beat them up. I also severely reprimanded them for their behavior of sowing discord..."
Lu Bei was talking nonsense, and the Zhu brothers didn't hear a word he said. Zhu Kui carefully reached out to the Qiankun bag.
Bang!
Lu Bei slapped Zhu Kui on the back of his hand and said with a beaming face, "That's it. I slapped the leader Feng Si away with one palm, and after he fled, I picked up this Qiankun bag. Brother Kui, you are a businessman, can you help me see how much it is worth?"
What do you mean? Didn’t you just collect the money? Why do you want more
Zhu Kui's eyes widened. According to his elder brother, this was an insult and digging up one's ancestors' graves, which was too much.
Lu Bei did not give him a chance to lose his temper, and said quickly: "To be honest, I am not very skilled, and I am easily bullied. I found the Qiankun bag but I cannot open it, so I have to trouble Brother Kui. We are brothers, and I think you will not let me suffer any loss."
"As brothers, I will certainly not let you suffer any loss."
Zhu Bo, who had been silent, opened his mouth, picked up the Qiankun bag, opened it and found that it was clean except for a token that stood out. It was obvious at a glance, and he couldn't help but twitch his eyes as he put it in his arms.
"With Brother Bo's words, I feel relieved."
Lu Bei raised his glass and clinked it with Zhu Bo's with a smile. Zhu Kui next to him looked uninterested. He knew with his toes that he would have to pay for the Qiankun bag.
The three of them ate and drank, and seemed to be in harmony. Half an hour later, Zhu Bo suddenly said, "Brother Lu, you are a smart man. Let's be frank and don't beat around the bush. I'm sure you've figured it out."
"What did you see?"
"My second brother Zhu Kui came from Dengtianmen."
"Ah! Ah? Ah..."
