"It should be what Chen Quansong said last time." Lu Sheng guessed in his heart.
He packed his things, changed into a suit of clothes, greeted his teacher, and quickly left the Yuan Demon Sect, heading towards Bailing City.
They didn't stop all the way, and after about a stick of incense, they arrived at Bailing City.
Following the last route, Lu Sheng soon arrived at the last restaurant.
'Bohan Restaurant'
This is the name of the restaurant. At this time, there were several girls in yellow shirts standing guard at the entrance of the building. They looked like ordinary people, but upon closer inspection, there were more or less strange things about them.
Some have extremely pale skin, some have whirlpools in their eyes, and some have many bandages wrapped around one arm.
Seeing the road coming, a woman stepped forward to greet her.
"Lord Lu Sheng, the Lord is waiting for you on the second floor."
"En, thank you very much." Lu Sheng nodded, and couldn't help but look at the woman twice more.
The other party has a ghostly aura, the power of the black membrane, and a strange, unknown aura.
"We are the moon ghost guards under Lord Jiuli. There are five of them in total. You won't care if you see too many of them." The woman introduced generously, "Besides, I am Bian Ning, the head of the guard."
"So it's Miss Ning." Lu Sheng followed her upstairs, and when they reached the second floor, the entire floor was taken over by Shangyang's family.
In the empty floor, there is only a table of banquets in the center. Shangyang Jiuli was sitting absent-mindedly on one side of the banquet, playing with a white jade cup in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"Lord Jiuli." Lu Sheng stepped forward to greet him.
"Lu Sheng, you are here. Long time no see." Shangyang Jiuli came back to his senses, stood up, and signaled Lu Sheng to sit down and talk.
"This subordinate has been busy studying recently. I don't know why my lord recruited this subordinate?" Lu Sheng sat down slowly.
Shangyang Jiuli smiled, but he was much gentler than when he was in Beidi, but there was also a trace of tiredness in his expression.
"Originally, I saw that you were developing well in Yuanmozong, so I didn't want you to come back, but now, there is an opportunity, an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, in front of me, but the most suitable subordinate for me is you. So I After thinking about it, I think it would be more appropriate to call you here."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "A chance to reach the sky in one step?"
"That's right." Shangyang Jiuli smiled. "Shangyang Ruo, one of my cousins is now at the age of marriage. This girl's appearance and qualifications are from the upper class. Grandpa is also one of the three elders of my Shangyang family. He has a high position and authority. I passed your information up. They selected you and found you the most suitable, and now they plan to let the two of you meet in person."
Lu Sheng froze, he never thought that Shangyang Jiuli called him over for this reason.
"This.....this...." He didn't know how to react. But to be honest, Shangyang Jiuli treated him pretty well, and he has always used the name of the Shangyang family to protect his forces in Beidi. But such things... .
"Don't be afraid, this is an opportunity. As long as you can marry Shangyang Ruo smoothly, one of the three old elders will become your in-laws. If Shangyang is his most beloved granddaughter, his son and daughter are dead, and only one granddaughter is the only next of kin.
If you marry Shangyang Ruo, then you must become the closest person to that old man. The benefits of this, you will not fail to understand. "Shangyang Jiuli explained.
"I..." In fact, Lu Sheng didn't care about the elders at all, and he didn't like this kind of marriage for the purpose of profit, so he deliberately refused. but... .
"I've already arranged it for you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ordinary people can't wait for it. You have to seize it." Shangyang Jiuli continued. "I know that you still have a wife in Beidi. If you take it over, Shangyang Ruo is not a person who can't tolerate others. They know about this situation."
Lu Sheng thought about it, and it would be bad to refuse in person. Yang Jiuli must have put a lot of effort into this matter. It would be best if the other party directly looked down on him.
But if the other party really likes him, he can't refuse. Now he and the Lu family cannot do without Shangyang Jiuli.
"Well, I'm just going to try." He said in a low voice.
"Well, the location is Fengchen Pavilion, a tea house on North Street, someone will lead you there later." Shangyang Jiuli said quickly.
"While?" Lu Sheng was taken aback again.
"Well, it's time to meet in the afternoon, and we will meet in Fengchen Pavilion after we make an appointment." After all, Shangyang Jiuli still has his original personality, and no one can refuse him.
"All right... ."
Lu Sheng was helpless. Wanting to leave Shangyang's family, the idea of independence is getting stronger and stronger. But now, once he becomes independent, many things will fall apart, and the Red Whale Gang and the Lu family in the Northland will not be able to get any protection.
After all, it is still not strong enough.
After a meal, Shangyang Jiuli also began to pour bitterness on Lu Sheng.
Recently, she was entrusted by Shang Yangfei to deal with the Huang family's Huang Shuling. This is also the iconic genius of the Huang family. Although she is not as good as Lin Beikai and Shang Yangfei herself, she should not be underestimated.
She fought against Huang Shuling several times, and she lost more than she won. In addition, she was also responsible for the task of searching for the hidden person of the mysterious jade. Very busy.
"Those people under me, all added up, haven't even touched the shadow of Xuanjiyu for two consecutive months." Shangyang Jiuli was quite angry.
"After you get married, with the help of Shangyang Ruo, her grandfather has mastered the entire Shangyang family's intelligence network, which can completely make up for the vacancy in this area. Everything will be much better, now..." Shangyang Jiu As Li was talking, he began to talk about this aspect again.
Lu Sheng chatted with her for a while, and after dinner, he took a car to Fengchen Pavilion on North Street.
... ... ... ... ... ...
North Street where people come and go.
Among the rows of antique shops, there is a small bronze-colored shop with three large characters written on the plaque: Fengchen Pavilion.
The entrance of the shop was deserted, with few people coming in and out. A tea list board with various discounts stood obliquely in front of the entrance.
Lu Sheng sat in a corner of the pavilion, with a number marked on the side of the table: B32. This is the agreed seat. It happened to be the innermost corner of the entire Fengchen Pavilion.
After Shangyang Jiuli sent him over, he left in a hurry because he still had something to do, and he was here alone waiting for the other party to come.
There weren't many people in Fengchen Pavilion, and the other party didn't intend to book the venue, as if they wanted to break into the public and have a meeting like ordinary mortals.
Slap.
Not far away, the water clock on the indoor rockery was rang again.
This water clock uses stream water with a fixed flow rate and bamboo tubes to make a seesaw-like device for timing.
The flow rate in this store is about half an hour.
Lu Sheng looked at the sky outside. An hour has passed since the appointed time, and the other party has not come yet.
His face remained motionless, he picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and took a sip lightly.
"Guest officer, do you...do you want more tea?" The girl in the shop next to her asked softly with sweat on her forehead.
This guest has already drunk three large tea mugs, each of which is more than one meter high and two meters in diameter.
The owner of the store begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to leave quickly, but this one just stood still and sat there for more than an hour.
Lu Sheng let out a breath, looked at the sky, it was not too late, and if he went back later, it would be dark again.
He just stood up.
"No, let's pay the bill."
"A total of ten, ten cents!" The girl was overjoyed, and hurriedly stammered an answer.
"Here." Lu Sheng fished out ten cents from his pocket and gave it to the other party.
Because the tea in Fengchen Pavilion can be refilled as long as you buy a pot, of course it is limited to one person. So even if you drink more, the price is not expensive.
This is also the main reason why the shop owner is about to cry in the background.
"Welcome next time..." Before the girl finished speaking, she was stared speechless by the boss who rushed out from behind.
"Don't worry, I won't come again." Lu Sheng also realized that he might have drunk too much without noticing. Rub the little girl's head. He smiled and walked out of Fengchen Pavilion.
The setting sun outside the door was almost dusk, and most of the street was dyed a dark red.
"Today's sunset is very red." Lu Sheng sighed.
As if smeared with blood.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced somewhere, then turned and walked away quickly.
Obviously, he was let go.
... ... ... ... ... .
Tianxin Pavilion.
It is also the place to drink tea in Bailing City. Tianxin Pavilion is an extremely high-end teahouse opposite Fengchen Pavilion. Whether it is price, service, or decoration, it is far superior to the opposite.
Shangyang Ruo was sitting by the window on the fifth floor of Tianxin Pavilion, quietly looking at the setting sun outside the window.
"So, this Lu Sheng waited there for more than an hour, seeing that it was getting dark before he got up and left?" She casually asked the maid.
"Yes. That Mr. Lu didn't get up and leave until the sun went down. He didn't show any impatience from the beginning to the end." The maid replied in a low voice.
Shangyang Ruoqiao's face froze slightly.
"Waiting for so long, anyone will feel impatient, he can keep his face and show nothing, which means that he still has some self-knowledge in his heart.
Knowing that it is not so easy to enter the door of my lineage of Shang Yangxi. "There was a sneer in her eyes.
"Cousin and grandpa made a marriage, have you asked my opinion?" Shangyang Ruo's face was frosty. "Where is Mr. Kunyun now?" As soon as the name was mentioned, she immediately calmed down.
Mr. Kunyun, named Shangyang Kunyun, is a noble son from the branch family. He has an extremely gentle temperament and is very tolerant towards her. Although he has no ambitions and aptitude is not very good, but he can't help his father is the Yan general of the Shangyang family.
There are only eight generals in the God of Yan, and one of them is his father. As the highest military institution of the Shangyang family, the God of Yan has the right to combine eight people, almost comparable to the head of the family.
"Miss, about Mr. Lu..." the maid asked cautiously.
"Whoever makes the marriage, let him marry!" Shangyang said impatiently, she didn't understand why grandpa objected to her and Shangyang Kunyun.
Compared with his family background, Shangyang Kunyun's father was a general of the Yan God, and he did not know how much more than the chief of the Yuan Demon Sect.
Compared with talents, Mr. Kun Yun's appearance and talent are all first-class. And this Lu Sheng, does he know the Jiushang Song? Know the rhetoric? Do you know how to play the shamisen
He didn't know anything about the blood of a declining family from a small place.
Except potential.
"Potential potential, you know potential all day long!!" Shangyang Ruo felt agitated. No matter grandpa or cousin, they only value potential.
Born with supernatural power, six lines of strength, and at a young age, he is very likely to step into the snake level in the future. This is Lu Sheng's potential.
It is also the place that grandpa and the others value.
"Miss, Mr. Kunyun has brought fresh loquats over again." Suddenly another maid came in from outside.
Shangyang Ruo's eyes froze for a moment, and then he smiled happily.
"He still remembers." She quickly got up and greeted him out.
