Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 197
The Lu Mansion held a Flower God Banquet for the female relatives of all the mansions.

The Lu family in Kyoto has always kept a low profile, but suddenly they held the Flower God Banquet with great fanfare.

It was said that Lu Xu was about to leave the customs, and the Lu Mansion specially held a Flower God Banquet for her;

It is said that it was held for Prime Minister Lu, who had been in office for one year, had good political achievements, and was firmly seated as the right prime minister;

Others said that Lu Yi had the intention of marrying a wife, and this Flower God Banquet was held for him to choose a wife;
Someone in the know also disclosed that several young masters and young ladies of the Lu Mansion had reached the age of marriage, and the Flower God Banquet was held for them to choose their in-laws.

The Flower God Banquet held by the top aristocrats in the Lu Mansion is not allowed to enter by non-honored families, and most people linger outside the mansion and refuse to leave, and the only regret for those who receive invitations from the Lu Mansion is that Lu Xu is not in the Lu Mansion, so they have no chance To see the beauty of the world.

Especially those classmates who sat together at the Flower God Banquet and talked about interesting things when they were classmates, and they naturally talked about Lu Xu.

"When I left the capital back then, Lu Xu was still a little girl, how is she doing now?"

Lu Jiang stopped playing with a short stick, Lu Xu in his mind still looked like a little girl with double buns back then, and he couldn't imagine her appearance as the number one beauty in Nanli Kingdom.

"Nanli country's number one beauty... Lu Xu deserves it."

Mr. Mingjing was playing with a piece of black iron with a strange shape and a very smooth surface.

His five fingers are long and slender, his joints are distinct, and his skin is as white as jade. One can tell at a glance that he is doing very meticulous work.

The dark blue gown best suits his complexion, and his facial features are like Guanyin, and his appearance is amiable. If it weren't for the faint smell of gunpowder smoke on his body, he would be regarded as an ordinary son of an aristocratic family, and he would never be connected with firearms Together.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a man in a red dress sitting opposite him, with long narrow eyes and evil eyes, said angrily: "I don't care if Lu Xu is beautiful or not, but why does Brahma stay by her side every day?"

Gu Qingzhou said indifferently: "Of course it's because Lu Xu likes him, Lu Tong agrees, Lu Manor is satisfied, and the emperor personally protects the matchmaker."

"Fanxing and Lu Xu, I think they are a good match." Fan Chen has seen a picture of Lu Xu and Fanxing together: "At least with your cultivation level, there is no way to protect Lu Xu. Fanxing is different from you .”

"Other than high cultivation, what's the difference?" Ming Jing raised the micro-opener and asked.

"He knew that Lu Xu was suffering from cold and poison, and he still insisted on marrying her as his wife, but you have the courage to face her..."

Fan Chen changed his words in the middle of the sentence: "Forget it, it's all over, I don't bother to talk about you, now that Lu Xu has Fanxing to love her and protect her, you don't want to be nosy and annoying."

Gu Qingzhou wore a black robe, full of righteousness, held his teacup and said, "The people and things that Lu Xu comes into contact with now are things that I can never meet in my life. It's good not to cause trouble for her as much as possible. How can we meddle in other people's business?" Just do your part well.”

"How high is Lu Xu's cultivation?"

Gu Mian frowned and asked, a little unconvinced and helpless.

He thought that at his age, having a ninth-rank cultivation was already very remarkable, but only after returning to the capital did he realize that the ninth-rank cultivation was very common.

"With Lu Xu's intelligence, he shouldn't be much worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Jiangting was dressed in white clothes, with hair knotted behind his ears, handsome and elegant with a hint of aloofness.

Unlike many people's impressions, most officials of the Ministry of Industry have dark complexion, but he is always a fair and frail scholar, with red lips and white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. No wonder Hua Lanxin is so crazy about him.

"Let's not talk about Lu Xu, let's talk about the Hua family." Fan Chen deliberately changed the subject, "You're going back to the capital for the New Year, did the Hua family come to trouble you?"

"The Lu family and the Hua family have divorced a long time ago. What Hua Lanxin did and what mistakes she made has nothing to do with me." Lu Jiangting's words were calm and ruthless. As for Lu Xu... it was just an excuse to divorce, In his heart, he just regarded Lu Xu as his little sister.

"Mingjing, don't think too much, the Ming family won't accept Lu Xu if Miss Mingwan is still in Syracuse."

Lu Jiangting looked at Ming Jing who had always been proud. In terms of grievances and grievances, their family was more focused on Lu Xu. It is said that the empress empress also got angry with Lu Xu for this. Fortunately, Lu Xu today is not comparable to yesterday. With her cultivation base, even the emperor has to give it to her. Three-point thin noodles.

"What happened to Wan'er is not at fault with Lu Xu, as for her and Fanxing...were not married yet."

Mingjing lowered her eyes and spoke without even moving her eyelids, as if the one who suffered in Syracuse was not his own sister, but someone who had nothing to do with her.

"My aunt blows Brahma into the sky, I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, so I still have doubts." Gu Mian was very unconvinced about Brahma and Lu Xu being together, especially his aunt Gu Jiaolong kept whispering in his ear, which made him wonder. Be on par with Fanxing and others, and behave in a low-key manner.

Fan Chen comforted with a smile on his face: "Your aunt is already a master of the three realms, and even she is no match for Lu Xu, and Lu Xu still needs the guidance of Brahma Xing to teach him how to practice. Have……"

Looking at the disapproving expressions of several people, Fan Chen kindly reminded: "I have been classmates for several years, don't blame me for not reminding you, if there is nothing to do, don't provoke Fanxing."

"Why, he still dares to fight us?"

Gu Mian was the most unconvinced, everything was nothing before the fight.

Fan Chen looked at him like this, and said calmly: "His attack is worse than that of the East Palace, especially when it comes to Lu Xu's matter...Miss Hua Lanxin and Miss Mingwan are the ones who will personally deal with it. You should try to keep things as close as possible to Lu Xu. Otherwise, he will send you to unknown corners with a wave of his hand like sending firearms to Syracuse."

"...!!!"

The expressions of a few people were suddenly constipated, unconvinced and overwhelmed.

Fan Chen sighed and said, "Don't look at Fanxing's appearance as bright and elegant, elegant and indifferent, but in fact it is a big vinegar vat, and I can't even say a few more words to Lu Xu."

Lu Jiang stopped playing with the stick, and said with a smile: "I never thought that the famous first son would be so stingy that he couldn't even tolerate the pure love of classmates. After getting married, wouldn't he look down on Lu Xu to death? Do you think Lu Xu would resist? .”

"The chances are extremely low." Fan Chen shattered his dream of watching a theater: "Lu Xu can beat you, but she can't beat Fanxing."

"..." Lu Jiang had nothing to say when he paused.

In the past, they could be said to have given way to Lu Xu, but now they really can't beat Lu Xu.

Gu Qingzhou said with a smile on his face: "It's good for Lu Xu and Fanxing to be together, so you don't have to fight to make a decision."

Fan Chen looked at a few people and said, "Actually, without Lu Xu, there are still three young ladies in Lu's residence. They are better than the young ladies in Beppu in terms of appearance and temperament. You can think about it after meeting them later."

Mingjing took a deep breath and said, "God knows they haven't learned Lu Xu's way of torturing people."

"Eighty percent have learned..."

In the middle of Fan Chen's speech, he heard Gu Qingzhou say calmly: "It's not scary to learn, but the scary thing is that they don't learn well."

A few people didn't want to talk at once. If they didn't learn well, it would be easy to make mistakes. If they stabbed in the wrong place, they would kill people. They didn't want to die randomly and uselessly.

"When you discuss marriage in the future, you must find out whether the other party is on good terms with Lu Xu." Fan Chen kindly reminded: "Given Lu Xu's temperament, everyone may have a share."

"There are women in Kyoto who are willing to befriend her!" Lu Jiangting couldn't believe it. With the influence of her face, she is probably the public enemy of young women.

"The eldest daughter of the current Commander Liang of the Yulin Army is very friendly with Lu Xu." Fan Chen said in a low voice, "Miss Liang always asks Lu Xu to make decisions for her, and Lu Xu is also willing to protect Miss Liang. Don’t dare to offend.”

"Lu Xu is a loser." A contemptuous voice sounded.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Even if they didn't see anyone, they could still hear Mo Jinli's voice, and they only got together at the Lu Mansion Flower God Banquet after receiving a notice.

Mo Jinli wore an angry red brocade robe, with a golden mask covering Lu Xu's face, came in and sat down carelessly, and said, "Since she taught Miss Lin's family a lesson, young men and women in Kyoto have added another inspection item to discuss marriage, and now Even getting married is risky, do you think she is a loser?"

"Your Highness said that she is a mourner, but someone treats her as a treasure. Be careful of that person suddenly appearing." Fan Chen knew that at the level of Mo Jinli, Fanxing, and Lu Xu, there were no secrets in the capital.
"Afraid of him, at worst, fight him."

Otherwise, Mo Jinli had wanted to fight Fan Xing long ago, but there was no right time.

Fan Chen immediately straightened his waist and said, "It's not terrible for you two gods to fight, but the terrible thing is that you will destroy the capital, and Gao Liao might strangle himself to death."

"It's not easy to even fight now, it's better than before." Mo Jinli sighed and said, "No wonder Lu Xu has been reluctant to fight since he accidentally killed the head of Wanhua Valley in Mausoleum City. Mostly use the sound of the piano to cut off the opponent's cultivation, and then hand it over to the people below."

"What does it mean to be accidentally crushed to death?"

Lu Jiangting asked curiously, the head of Wanhua Valley is not low in cultivation level, it would be disgraceful to be smashed to death.

Mo Jinli said that Lu Xu's hand slipped for a while, and he threw out the big stick that he usually used to beat people, and shared the process of killing a sect leader by accident.

"Peony Fairy died unjustly."

Gu Mian was neither salty nor indifferent, but actually felt a magnitude [-] earthquake in his heart, he did not expect Lu Xuxiu to be so terrifying.

Gu Qingzhou clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Lu Xu's cultivation is so terrifying, and the princesses of the four countries challenge her openly. Aren't they looking for death?"

Mo Jinli waved his hand and said, "This challenge is not that simple. It is said that it is the challenge of the princesses of the four countries. Only they know if they are real princesses. Besides, Lu Xu is in retreat, and only Lu Xu knows when he will be able to leave the customs. This challenge Whether it can be done is unknown.”

"How is the strength of the princesses of the four countries?" Mingjing asked calmly.

"The strength depends on the content of the challenge, and I don't know how to evaluate them."

Mo Jinli seemed to be remembering something, and suddenly said solemnly: "I was so concerned about telling you about Lu Xu that I almost forgot the business."

"I came here today to inform you on behalf of my father that the strong outsiders may have controlled the four countries. They should be planning to break through Nanli's defense from within. You may become their targets. The emperor asked this hall to inform you that you should not leave in the short term. Kyoto."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Several people answered in unison.

Mo Jinli suddenly sighed and said, "I knew we should have supported Lu Xu's suggestion back then, but thinking about it now, our thinking is still too conservative."

Fan Chen and Gu Qingzhou glanced at each other. They had been in the capital for a long time, so they naturally knew that after Lu Xu returned from Syracuse, he suggested in the court hall to bring a batch of firearms and go to the opponent's country to bomb once, preventing the opponent from invading Nanli from the inside. , but was questioned by the emperor and his ministers.

Now that the other party has taken the opportunity, everyone in the court is probably regretting that they didn't listen to her suggestion, even if they think about it now, it won't work.

"During this period of time, you should study more, whether it can increase the range and lethality of firearms." Mo Jinli said to Mingjing: "Every time you fire, you have to wait for the enemy to enter the range. Whether it is defending or attacking the city, we are currently Passive, if the range can be increased, casualties can be greatly reduced."

"Return to Your Highness, I have been studying." Mingjing also replied solemnly: "The range of the batch of firearms sent to Xuecheng earlier was ten miles longer than the original ones. The new ones are already being designed, and the range is expected to increase by another twenty miles. .”

Mingjing sighed, "It's good that Mrs. Lu is still alive."

Mrs. Lu in his mouth refers to Mother Lu Xu.

Mingjing's firearms manufacturing could not achieve today's achievements without the guidance of Lu Xu's mother.

After Mrs. Lu's death, Mingjing could only slowly explore by herself. Although she also achieved careless results, it was far from the expected result.

"Please look, Your Highness, this is a miniature firearm developed by the minister." Mingjing raised the black iron block in his hand and said, "The longest range is nearly fifteen feet. If you can shoot at close range, it can penetrate the best armor. Take a look, Your Highness, there is still room for improvement."

Mo Jinli took over the weight and weighed it, and suddenly it moved somewhere. She heard the sound of an iron block beside her. She lifted it up and pointed it at the front to pull the mechanism, when a pretty figure came into her field of vision.

Different from the elegant or gorgeous dresses of ordinary women, the women's clothes in front of them are very colorful.

The combination of bright colors such as red, green and orange, together with the woman's bright smile, is surprisingly stunning.

"Gorgeous but not vulgar, shabby but not demonic..."

Mo Jinli quickly put down the miniature firearm and said, "It's rare to see a woman with this kind of temperament in Kyoto, and she looks like a lady from the Lu family."

Fan Chen glanced back and said: "It should be Miss Lu Muyu from the Lu family, who is a famous great-great-grandson recently... Why did she appear here? Shouldn't she follow the elders to greet guests in front?"

"Lu Muyu..." Mo Jinli said thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard someone mention this name before?"

"It's the one who scared Lu Xu into unconsciousness." Fan Chen reminded in a low voice.

Mo Jinli let out a groan, looked at the gradually approaching humanity, and said, "She's not ugly at all, why did she scare Lu Xu into fainting."

Fan Chen told him helplessly: "When I returned to Your Highness, I recovered my appearance only after being treated by Shangguan Shou. It is said that I used to cover myself more tightly than Lu Xu when I went out."

"So that's how it is!" Mo Jinli thought for a while and said, "Shangguan Shou Ruoke said what kind of evil disease she has."

"It is said that it was infected with Gu poison in the mother's womb..."

"Gu poison!"

Mo Jinli interrupted Fan Chen out of composure.
