Chapter 574 Windfall (2 more)
Walking out of the pavilion, Lu Chen headed straight to the gate of the courtyard.
There were only two mid-stage cultivators guarding the courtyard gate. They were not strong enough. The responsibility of guarding the gate was to change shifts every four hours. Due to Zhou Yun and Zhu Pingsi basically changed the people from the other courtyards thoroughly. He studied the matter of the round guard for many days. Finally, the two parties reached an agreement in private. I don’t know the specific content, but judging from the fact that the monks guarding the courtyard gate never communicated, it is estimated that one of the two people at the gate was the Zhou family’s eyeliner and the other one from the Zhu family.
Lu Chen is not blind, and he can still see this trick, so he ignores it. He nods and bows when he sees him these days, but it is not difficult to guess what he reports to him behind his back.
Lu Dou stopped in and never went out. What kind of status Lu Chen had in Lu Dou's heart is still under the verification of the two forces.
From afar, Lu Chen saw a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament standing in front of the courtyard. Although his expression was ordinary, he would occasionally look into the courtyard.
Lu Chen laughed in his heart and walked over.
When someone comes to visit Pingyueli, they must pass the news, that is, they shout to the inside at the top of their throats, and then Lu Chen comes out to receive it on behalf of Lu Dou. This is roughly the process.
Lu Chen didn't hear the shout just now. When he walked to the moon gate, Lu Chen walked forward and bowed, neither flattering nor arrogant, and said naturally: "I have met Mr. Zhou in Yuhu."
"Are you Yuhu?" Zhou Changjie narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Chen. Seeing that this kid was not outstanding and a little dark, he had a idea. He came here for Lu Chen, but Zhou Yun's order was to buy it, but in his heart, a servant in the mid-stage fusion did not take it seriously.
Sweeping over Lu Chen with contempt, Zhou Changjie said coldly: "Go, let's say a word, Changjie asks to see the master."
Zhou Changjieming knew that Lu Dou would not see him, but he could not directly express his intention. He wanted to find Lu Chen, so he asked for a refusal.
Lu Chen's eyelids twitched, why didn't he know what he meant, so he said, "When Master Zhou came, the ancestor already knew that the old disease had recurred and it was not convenient to see someone. Please come back."
Zhou Changjie was not unhappy and said, "Well. Does the old ancestor's old disease still have an attack every night?"
When he said this, Lu Chen and Lu Dou had been working on it for nearly half a month, and it was reasonable for Zhou Changjie to ask about the situation.
"Yes." Lu Chen began to cheat: "It was still at that time, and it has been a little more frequent recently."
"Oh?" Zhou Changjie showed a worried expression, but he was happy. They were always worried that Green Dou's injuries would improve and then take power. The strength of a great master in the late stage of the tribulation would be terrible. Otherwise, the Zhou and Zhu families would have taken action against the old man Green Dou long ago.
Zhou Changjie calmed down and said, "Master's health is not good. Since he values you, you must do your best to take good care of Master. If there is anything, please notify me immediately. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Lu Chen bowed and accepted the order.
Zhou Changjie took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Lu Chen, saying, "Hold this, there are hundreds of good pills in it, so the master can use it. In addition, I put some spiritual crystals in it to reward you. Do you know?"
"Thank you for the reward." Lu Chen was so grateful that he was extremely skilled in role-playing.
"Well. Since the master is inconvenient to see people, I'll leave first." Zhou Changjie said, looking at the monk guarding the yard on the right, and then said to Lu Chen: "Take me to the front yard to see what's missing. Let me see if there is anything missing when you go back and prepare to send it here."
Lu Chen was speechless and said to himself: If you want to find a place where no one is talking, you should also find a better reason. I am Lu Dou's personal boy, but I am not the general manager.
With a belly skeleton, Lu Chen still wanted to leave with Zhou Changjie. Just as the two left the Moon Gate and walked towards the front garden, the monk on the right side of the Moon Gate secretly became busy behind his back.
When he arrived at the front hall gate, Zhou Changjie saw that there was no one around and whispered as he walked: "Yuhu."
"Young Master." Lu Chen pretended to be stunned, but his heart was transparent. He probably was going to talk about the serious business.
"In the evening, I was in Chilianxing and Double Star Tower. I prepared a banquet. You often have to do business for the master. But Chimerai has not appeared for many years. I rarely see anyone. I have invited a few friends and you can come together. It is more convenient to walk on Chilianxing after that."
Zhou Changjie's words were neither salty nor light, but his intention was very obvious. It was obvious that it was inconvenient to speak here, so he was talking to himself on an excuse.
Lu Chen was about to approach these two families, and Zhou Changjie was just right away and could not refuse, otherwise he would definitely become a thorn in the Zhou family's side. Just as he was about to answer, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded from not far away.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, you are here too."
The two turned around and saw that they were also a young man with extraordinary appearance. He wore a jade crown and a green robe. His steps were floating in clouds and his fairy spirit was flying. This man walked smoothly, surrounded by clouds and mist, and he was still a handsome young man.
When Zhou Changjie saw this person, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but his eyes immediately bent again and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, have you come to see Master too?" Zhou Changjie smiled and greeted him.
When Lu Chen heard this, he knew it in his heart. Needless to ask, he probably was a son of the Zhu family.
The person who came was not someone else, but Zhu Ran, the eldest son of the Zhu family, who was ordered by his father to bribe Lu Chen.
The two approached, hugged each other and clasped each other's fists, Zhu Ran said, "Oh! I didn't expect that I would hurry up and wait a step later. Brother Zhou has seen the master?"
Zhou Changjie shook his head and sighed worriedly: "Oh! No, Master's condition has relapsed."
"Oh? Is it very troublesome? Do you want to ask my father and the others to come here?" Zhu Ran also frowned. The acting skills of these two guys are not very good. Lu Chen watched from the side. If he hadn't known the inside story of Chi Lian Sect, he would have been deceived by the two of them.
"That's not necessary." Zhou Changjie waved his hand and said, "Yuhu said that Master is not in good health and does not want to see anyone. We juniors should listen to him."
"Yuhu?" Zhu Ran had seen Lu Chen for a long time, and also heard that this person looked like he was in line with the servant in front of him. He just pretended not to see him, just waiting for a chance. Hearing Zhou Changjie mention it, Zhu Ran turned his head and looked at Lu Chen, and then said, "Are you the personal boy Yuhu that Master ordered?"
"This one is..." Lu Chen pretended to be stupid.
"Bold." Zhou Changjie glared and said, "Have you seen Mr. Zhu Ran?" He pointed at Zhu Ran.
"So it's Master Zhu!" Lu Chen said in surprise and immediately greeted him.
Just as he was about to bow, Zhu Ran hurriedly ran over, supported Lu Chen, and said, "No, no, haha, I heard that the master chose a close-fitting boy, Zhu Ran wanted to come over to meet fellow Taoist Yuhu very early. Alas, the master's illness has gradually worsened in recent years and his strength has dropped greatly. It is really unfortunate. Yuhu, we are busy with our affairs, and the master has a strange temper and doesn't like to let us accompany us. It will be thanks to you after that."
As the guy said, he took out a Qiankun bag like Zhou Changjie and stuffed it into Lu Chen's hand, saying, "It's some elixirs prepared by this father and I. The ancestor has not been out of Chilian Peak for many years, so there should be no spiritual crystals available in his hand. You can take it and buy some things for the ancestor to nourish it. It can be considered as our juniors' filial piety."
Unlike Zhou Changjie, Zhu Ran's approachable appearance is more easily acceptable. Ask yourself, if Lu Chen is really just a boy with a green fight, he will be closer to Zhu Ran. After all, he is filial.
But, none of these two goods are good things, and their purpose is the same. They both want to bribe themselves, but Zhu Ran's methods are a little more clever. He did not really treat himself as a child, but treated him as a friend.
Lu Chen looked at Zhou Changjie in embarrassment. It would definitely not work if he didn't accept it. He turned his eyes and pushed the things back and said, "Young Master Zhu, you are polite. Mr. Zhou has prepared some for Yuhu before, which is enough."
"Oh?" Zhu Ran looked at Zhou Changjie and cursed himself a step slower. He also understood the reason why Lu Chen dared not accept it, so he said, "It's okay, prepare more people that only benefits, right, Brother Zhou?"
"Hehe!" Lu Chen felt so happy. There was no problem in this way. Can Zhou Changjie disagre? It's impossible.
Sure enough, Zhou Changjie's eyes flashed with anger, and he immediately resumed: "That's right, since Brother Zhu is ready, just take it. Yuhu."
"Yeah! OK, then." Lu Chen brought Qiankun bag over and took it into his robe. He immediately bowed and said, "Yuhu will report to the ancestors of the two young men."
"Ha, no, don't bother him." Zhu Ran rushed to say, "By the way, today I got the same thing with fellow Taoist Yuhu today. I think it's better to make a fuss, and find some time to come out to sit in the evening. I think fellow Taoist has been in other courtyards for many years and has never had the chance to go out. Let's go to the Double Star Tower of Chi Lianxing. The songs there are all civil and military, and dual cultivation can improve their poor skills in one night. Haha."
"Damn." Lu Chen cursed in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This guy is shameless than Zhou Changjie. He has said this to this point. Do you know you very well?"
Before Lu Chen could speak, Zhou Changjie finally couldn't help it and thought to himself: "There will always be someone who comes first and then. I'll invite it all, and it's your turn."
After thinking about it, Zhou Changjie said, "Haha, Brother Zhu is late, I have arranged a banquet a long time ago. I'm afraid that fellow Taoist Yuhu will leave with me tonight."
In a short while, he changed from a servant to a level, calling him a fellow Taoist. It seemed that Zhou Changjie also realized that his methods were a bit too difficult to accept.
"Oh? Brother Zhou and I want to go together?" Zhu Ran was not surprised, but he still showed surprise.
"What do you mean to go with you? I'll think about it first." Zhou Changjie held back his attack and secretly whined.
Zhu Ran smiled and said, "Anyway, please, since that's the case, why not let's go together, Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
"This..." Zhou Changjie didn't expect that Zhu Ran was so difficult to deal with: Together? Can you tell me a lot?
It was Lu Chen, who didn't want to reveal his relationship with either of the two forces too early. Faced with the offensives of these two countries, he had to come up with some tricks, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be a servant in front of them and would not be taken seriously.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen spoke out: "Two young men..."
The two looked at Lu Chen together. Lu Chen smiled slightly and apologized: "Yuhu has received the kindness of the two young masters. Yuhu has just been promoted, so how can you leave? And recently the ancestor arranged some trivial matters in Yuhu that have not been resolved yet. Why not wait for Yuhu to complete the tasks assigned by the ancestor and have a drink and chat with the two young masters."
"Oh?" These words were said, and the two were stunned at the same time. Zhu Ran asked impatiently: "What has the master arranged for you to do?"
Zhou Changjie also looked at Lu Chen, wanting to know about Green Dou's actions.
Lu Chen just said nonsense later that there was no such thing, but the effect was not bad. At least he could see that the Zhou and Zhu families were very concerned about the trends of the Green Fight.
Lu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The two young masters are really sorry. The ancestor said clearly that this matter should not be told to outsiders. Please forgive me."
I was sloppy, you can guess, haha! Lu Chen thought so.
"That's right." Although I couldn't find out what Lu Dou was going to do, Zhu Ran and Zhou Changjie knew what Lu Dou was going to do. This was enough. Lu Chen couldn't say it because he was there at the same time. It wouldn't be too late to talk after he got back. Anyway, he could escape from the monk and the temple.
"Okay, Master, please ask fellow Taoist, I will go back first. After the time comes, go to Chilianxing and take my jade tag to find me. Don't worry, no one will stop you." Zhu Ran did know how to be a human being, so he immediately took out his identity tag and stuffed it to Lu Chen.
Zhou Changjie was not outdone, so he took off his waist card and handed it to Lu Chen, saying clearly: "This is mine. In the Chilian Zong market, you can get it directly without paying money."
After saying that, the two left at the same time.
Lu Chen was stunned with two waist cards. After they walked away, he was ecstatic: "Haha, there are unexpected gains. In the future, he can pretend to be a tiger's power and cheat."
