Zhu Wenlan was very happy with Lu Bei. He was fair and clean, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Faintly, he could see a bit of Zhu Yi's shadow in him.
Zhu Yi's shadow...
Zhu Wenlan was slightly stunned, as if something was not right. After pondering for a moment, she waved to Zhu Qilan and led him to the next room.
In case she had chosen the right person again, she felt that she had to explain some things.
Butler Yu followed suit tactfully, and the three women put on a show, leaving Zhu Heng and Lu Bei in the room.
Lu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhu Wenlan and Lu Buwang were different, otherwise he would have been covered in the face with indescribable things again.
As I said, everything in the world of immortal cultivation is good, except that time is too forgiving. These elders don’t even know how to control their appearance.
Also, the kind aunt must have poor eyesight. With her conditions, she could find any cow or horse, but she chose Zhu Yi, this pile of cow dung.
God is so blind.
Lu Bei sighed, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it down in gulps.
Zhu Heng was holding the teacup calmly, not caring at all that Lu Bei was not paying attention to him.
After all, my son-in-law is Zhu Yi. He has seen all kinds of situations and has long developed a big heart.
"Commander Lu, what are you sighing about?"
"It turns out to be the Great Elder. Great Elder, you are polite."
Lu Bei raised his hand and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "It's a bit presumptuous to say this, but it's not what I said. Just now, when Elder Zhu was in front of me, I was quite puzzled as to what kind of aphrodisiac Zhu Yi had given her. I really can't figure it out, Sister Qi."
With just one sentence, Zhu Heng clapped his hands in applause, and immediately began to like Lu Bei, and started to criticize Zhu Yi endlessly.
Maybe it was because he had been holding it in for too long, Zhu Heng started cursing like a flood and couldn't stop, everything he could say and couldn't say, poured out all at once.
People say that the father-in-law and the son-in-law were enemies in their previous lives, and the relationship between the father-in-law and the son-in-law is sometimes even worse than that between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has a curve of ups and downs. If the father-in-law and son-in-law don't like each other at first sight, it's like jumping off a cliff and there is no possibility of recovery.
"What kind of person is that dog? He is a womanizer, a liar, and never speaks the truth. He is a waste that even the royal family despises. How can he be worthy of my daughter?"
Zhu Heng's eyes widened, and he became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Before he knew it, he told Lu Bei about the accident.
It was a dark and windy night. Zhu Heng assigned a guest from the Council of Elders to seduce Zhu Yi, intending to expose his true identity as a reincarnated pervert on the spot.
The guest from the Demon Sect who accepted the mission was a ruthless killer with superb skills of seduction, a true witch.
Logically speaking, every man has seen this kind of witch, and with Zhu Yi's pretty face, he can win her over with just a few beckons.
Then…
Zhu Yi did not take off his pants. He made the witch cry that night and successfully persuaded her to become a good woman. In order to help her regain her freedom, he used his connections and spent two years to erase the blood oath.
Having obtained both the body and the heart, the witch retired from society and became a cook in Zhu's mansion.
"Guess what, my daughter is really blinded by greed. Even so... she still praises this person who is worse than pigs and dogs for being loyal and righteous, and a good man!"
Lu Bei: …
It was terrible. While he despised it, he was actually a little envious.
Seeing that Zhu Heng was about to continue, Lu Bei raised his hand to stop him: "Grand Elder, you don't come to visit for no reason. Elder Zhu may have come to Changming Mansion just to see me, but you definitely didn't. Let's get straight to the point and talk directly."
Zhu Heng was still not satisfied with his words, but considering official business, he had to stop talking in dismay. He said with a serious expression, "Commander Lu, I heard that you had a little friction with the West King's Mansion in Xianzhou."
"That's what happened."
Lu Bei nodded, and then said: "It was Lu who was too reckless. After calming down, I realized it was a misunderstanding. If we had sat down and talked it out properly, there would have been no friction."
Zhu Heng was too lazy to respond to the nonsense. He didn't care about the West Palace. He only had the Heavenly Sword Sect in his eyes. He said bluntly, "I also heard that you arrested Zhan Lexian from the Heavenly Sword Sect and took him from Xianzhou to Ningzhou?"
"Not really. I just wanted to invite Elder Zhan to Ningzhou to have a meal and ask the senior master to give me some pointers on sword practice." Lu Bei said truthfully.
"That makes sense. Zhan Lexian is very skilled in swordsmanship, and the Council of Elders has admired him for a long time."
Zhu Heng took over and continued, "There are also many sword cultivators in the Huangji Sect who are suffering from dull talents and are stuck in bottlenecks and unable to break through. They would like to ask Zhan Lexian to come over and teach them. Commander Lu, please give me a price. How much do you want?"
Good man, you speak too directly. This is not the way to cultivate immortality.
Zhu Heng wanted to spend a lot of money to kill Le Xian. He was quick to speak and had no idea how to write the word euphemism. Lu Bei frowned when he heard this. He suspected that the Royal Extreme Sect had already completed its layout and was ready to start closing in on the Iron Sword Alliance.
If it was true, Lu Bei wouldn't mind selling Zhan Lexian for a good price in exchange for some cultivation resources.
But if Zhu Heng just wanted to have fun, then he would refuse to accompany him. Whether for Lingxiao Sword Sect or for himself, Zhan Lexian must be sent back to Tianjian Sect.
"What price is the Great Elder going to offer?"
"What price is Commander Lu going to ask for?"
"Great Elder, let me tell you first. This is my first time selling a sword cultivator in the fusion stage. I don't have much experience and I'm afraid the price I ask is too low." Lu Bei kept probing. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a Thousand Mile Talisman from his arms and connected the call in front of Zhu Heng.
The caller, Jing Ji, didn't waste any time and asked to talk to the local party.
"Commander Lu, who is this?" Zhu Heng smiled meaningfully.
"Tianjian Sect, Jing Ji, Elder Jing."
Lu Bei did not shy away from adding, "Don't misunderstand, Commander-in-Chief. I am loyal to the Huangji Sect and I keep in touch with Elder Jing because I have to do this because of the undercover mission of the Xuanyin Division and I have to lurk in the Tianjian Sect."
The words were a bit confusing, but Wu Zhou had its own national conditions. Zhu Heng understood the reason after a little thought.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Lu."
"It's all for your majesty!"
…
Qunxiangyuan, roof.
It is now the afternoon, and the sun has not yet set, but desire is the world's number one productive force, and LSP is the world's number one consumer group. In response to consumer demand, Qunxiangyuan has already opened its doors for business.
It cannot be said that the place was bustling with people and traffic, but it was filled with distinguished guests and many writers and poets came.
Zhan Hongqu was quite confused about the meeting place. Jing Ji was the elder of Tianjian Sect and a great cultivator in the fusion stage. Lu Bei held several positions and was able to subdue the fusion stage with his refined body. They were both well-known figures. Why did they choose the rooftop of a brothel as the meeting place
Moreover, judging from what they said, this was not the first time the two had met on the roof of the brothel.
Soon, two figures came from the air and landed steadily on the roof of Qunxiangyuan.
Seeing the people around Lu Bei, Jing Ji's smile froze, his face became long, and he looked like an enemy meeting.
"Hey, isn't this Elder Jing Jijing? I haven't seen him for a while. How come his face is so tanned?"
Zhu Heng laughed loudly and patted Lu Bei on the shoulder: "Let me introduce you, this is Lu Bei of the Huangji Sect, the commander of the three states, and also my descendant. In terms of seniority, I am his grandfather!"
Lu Bei: “…”
I felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, based on Zhu Qilan's connections, it seemed that he really was my grandfather.
It turns out that I have connections in Huangji Sect!
For a moment, Lu Bei's eyes lit up. He had spoken too softly before, and it was his fault. He admitted his mistake and would never do it again.
Jing Ji sneered and put his fist into his sleeve. After a moment, he slowly released it: "Nephew Lu, I am here to find..."
"What? Elder Jing is the uncle of this young Zhu?"
Zhu Heng was horrified: "If this is the case, then I am Elder Jing's uncle. If this is the case, Elder Jing is such a great man, how can he lose his status for nothing?"
Lu Bei raised his hand and scratched his head. He had heard people say before that the Huangji Sect and the Tianjian Sect were at odds with each other. Whenever the two sides met, they wanted to strangle each other to death. He had no idea at that time, but now he had some clues.
You know what, it’s quite interesting to watch the show from the perspective of a passerby.
I hope the fight starts in the next second!
Unfortunately, there was no such thing. Jing Jili ignored Zhu Heng and just pretended that this pig didn't exist: "Nephew Lu, this time, Jing..."
Bang!
A familiar voice rang out from a room below as they opened the window: "Are you guys on the roof done yet? It's bad enough that you disturbed my sleep in the middle of the night, but you're also interrupting my business in the middle of the day. This is the Qunxiang Courtyard, not a big teahouse. Let's talk somewhere else. If you want to talk, come down now."
After that, the girl threw out a fifty-liang silver note and said, "This is the tea money. I admit my mistake and invite you to have tea. Please leave quickly and don't disturb the guests' interest."
Lu Bei reached out his hand and put the fifty taels of silver into his sleeve. He looked at Jing Ji and the other two with a serious face and said, "This sister is right. Brothels make a lot of money every day and are an important source of tax revenue for the government. The court will be the first to disagree if their business is delayed. Besides, if the guests include the Grand Elder of the Huangji Sect, or the Elder of the Tianjian Sect, it will be so awkward for everyone to meet each other."
"…" x3
…
The camera turns and the four people come to the mountains outside the city.
Zhu Heng stood beside Lu Bei with a smile on his face. He called him "grandfather" and "family" all the time. He immediately separated the relationship between Lu Bei and Jing Ji, making the latter very angry.
I told you to send a princess to deal with Lu Bei earlier, but he refused to listen. Now look what happened, the Huangji Sect got a great gain, while the Tianjian Sect got nothing.
Zhu Heng's appearance seriously disrupted Jing Ji's plan. He immediately took out Bai Jin's letter and threw it towards Lu Bei.
The taste of senior sister!
Lu Bei took the jade slip and read through it quickly. The information in the letter was as he expected. Zhan Hongqu asked Bai Jin for help and asked him to persuade him not to make things difficult for Zhan Lexian. The price was right, so he could hand over the person and pick up the goods at the same time. Don't be too greedy.
As for Lu Bei's losses, Bai Jin stated in the letter that she would make up for it.
How to make up for it? It would take a lot of words to describe it, but it can be summed up in four words.
Next time for sure.
I haven’t paid back what I owed last time!
Lu Bei was quite puzzled that he didn't see Bai Jin coming to jump into the pit in person. He suspected that someone was interfering, such as the leader surnamed Lin. It was most likely that he was the one who ruined the good thing.
"My dear nephew, how is it?"
"Elder Jing is really good at picking people. He found a lobbyist that Lu can't refuse."
Lu Bei put away the jade slip and said seriously, "Facts aside, it was Elder Zhan who provoked me first. I can bear the loss, but my eldest brother was seriously injured. This debt must be settled."
"Of course, nephew, just name the price."
Jing Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything else, Zhu Heng shouted, "No matter what the price is, Huangji Sect will double it and offer two shares!"
