The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 74

Patting his own chest, Shang San'er was still blunt: "In my city, I hired a few more immortals to prevent evil. It is a subordinate of Dongshan County, and the tribute is constant every year!"

Staring at him, Lu Wei asked the most important thing: "The open-minded people are talking heartily, I just ask, if something happens in the county, how many ninth-level helpers can Luliu City send to help?"

Asked about this, Shang San'er hiccupped and shook his head instead: "Hih! The fat Ruyi who came to buy black gold stones once said that the governor of the county has great ambitions, and that Dongshan County needs to increase its strength. My family wants to guard against evil spirits, how dare I send immortals out to fight and inflict extra damage? My master knows it, and he won't spare me!"

Lu Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and before he put it down, his brows suddenly tightened: "The cause and effect between Luliu and me in Dongshan County must be before Sanyou Xianweng! The responsibility of the master must be shouldered, and the righteousness of the minister must also be ignored!"

At this point, he drank tea as usual.

Lu Dongshan said the rest for his father, he stood up and clasped his fists: "Master of the Shang City, I, the Lu family, would like to take on the responsibility of the master's family and help Luliu defend the city!"

Under everyone's gaze, Shang San'er was silent for a while, until he hiccupped again, and Fang smiled wryly: "I didn't learn well when I was young, but it's not that I don't know anything!"

There was some calculation hidden here, Lu Dongshan bit his lip lightly, waiting for him to finish.

"Dragonscale City is close to the green willow, but it's more than 400 miles away! When the underground demon sealing seal will loosen, my master can only give a rough idea. How can I expect it? Once it happens, the ghost will come in a moment, and so on." If you get the news here, even sending the Earth Immortal will not be able to help you. Apart from helping to collect the corpses, what is the use of the Earth Immortal sent by your family? Could it be that the Lord Magistrate is willing to send an Immortal to guard the Green Willow City all year round?"

-

A little earlier than the conversation at the county guard's mansion, in the lord's mansion of Green Willow City, Jiang Zhishi, who was dressed as a rich man, had to go back to Longlin for the Lantern Festival and couldn't stay long. If you are in charge of this city, how can you dare to claim wealth? If you really marry a lady from the Lu family, it is not good for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be awkward. The old woman is willing to ask the sheriff's mansion to marry Aunt Mingyue as her daughter-in-law. The Shoufu is also a family, and everyone is cheap!"

Jiang Zhishi smiled wryly: "I dare not answer this. I will wait for the ear to tell God to send a letter back, and the county guard will reply."

I muttered in my heart: "There is good wine this year, don't delay me going back to celebrate the Lantern Festival!"

-

Lu Wei stared at Shang San'er in the council hall of the Sheriff's Mansion: "I want to be stationed in Luliu all the year round. I can't assign anything else. I can give some Taoist soldiers to the head office. Gathering the Taoist soldiers can greatly increase the will of the general! There is a shortage of people, he waits until he can listen to orders and do things when ordered!"

I don't believe how generous the Lu family is: "How many teams of Taoist soldiers can the county guard give?"

Lu Wei said casually, "I have a big stall, I'll give you ten teams!"

A team of 12 people, if Shang San'er first took over as the city lord, the tenth team would not be too small, I'm afraid I would have to be grateful to Dade, but the Lu family governs eight cities and raises at least two or three thousand Taoist soldiers. How many ninth-order immortals are in charge?

Ten teams of Taoist soldiers, how much favor should they be?
In addition to the two wonderful methods passed down by Taoists of Sanyou, there is also a method of raising Taoist soldiers. Now there is no shortage of merit leaves and Qionghualu. If you recruit some ordinary people's children, Shang San'er can raise them by himself.

The Dao Bing method can only be practiced up to the fifth level, but as long as there is no shortage of nourishing things, it will advance faster than the immortals who practice the magic method.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Once you become a Taoist soldier, you can no longer learn magic techniques, and you can only be regarded as a half-human immortal. It is useless alone, and you can only form a team to help improve the Taoist ability of high-level immortals.

Shang San'er smiled wryly: "The governor of the county wants me to recruit ordinary people's children in the cities of this county. After a few years of work, Luliu City can support a hundred teams by itself!"

Da Luo Jinxian didn't accept disciples at will, and the popi city lord was not stupid, so no one should underestimate him.

Lu Wei held a cup of tea again, Lu Dongshan and Lu Zhaojun did not speak, and Mrs. Lu, Cai Fan, and Guo Da talked even less on this occasion.

Not wanting to linger any more, Shang San'er decided to show his cards: "Thinking about what the Sheriff wants to ask, on the way here, I also came up with two methods, both of which can fulfill the righteousness of my ministers. Would the Sheriff be willing to listen?"

The person surnamed Shang refuses to make any effort easily. There is a big Luo Jinxian on the top, and the confidence of five ninth-level immortals on the bottom. In the middle is a rogue who can flip the table and roll. I really can’t be too oppressive. This negotiation is not easy, Lu Wei sighed : "Say it!"

In fact, it took several days to come up with a countermeasure: "First, my master said that day that the Green Willow Demon will come in three to five years. I only dare to count the shortest time. In terms of three years, it has already passed half a year. If the Governor of the county has orders, within two and a half years, when the Lu family is outside, I can lead the ninth rank in the city to help, but when the time is over, don't call my family any more!"

After using his family's immortals for two and a half years, we can no longer use the immortals from Green Willow City as subordinate cities, and only receive annual tribute.

But if you want to plan outside, besides attacking the city, you need to prepare before the war. It will take time to manage the newly attached city after the war and negotiate with the surrounding forces. How much is it worth?
In addition to fighting in battle, the Ninth Rank Human Immortal is more deterrent. If it is found out by others, the Green Willow City Human Immortal will not move after two and a half years, isn't it a big loss?

Lu Wei shook his head: "What about the other one?"

Shang San'er said: "Secondly, my family is afraid of damage other than evil, so I don't dare to fight outside. I usually don't send it out. When the county guard is outside, there will be at least a ninth rank from Green Willow to help guard Longlin City. stop!"

Green Willow City only sends immortals to guard Longlin, and does not participate in foreign wars. In the future, the Lu family will devote everything to the outside world and go all out.

After weighing it for a while, Lu Wei answered him: "A compromise!"

Shang San'er was attentive and obedient.

"In two and a half years, if there is something to do, your family must make great efforts, at least three ninth ranks; after that, if my family has an outside picture, you send people to garrison Longlin and suppress the county!"

If you don't want to turn your face and flip the table, no matter how good the method is, both of them must be able to accept it. Green Willow City has long been an affiliated city of the Lu family, and even the tiger banner of Da Luo Jinxian cannot be shirked.

If they wanted to blame him, the Lu family would dare to take advantage of Shang San'er's fledglings to have a fight with him first, and then argue with the gods in the sky.

Shang San'er had no choice but to nod: "Your Majesty Yijun is the one, but when something happens, my family's ninth-order dispatch fee and wound medicine money have to be paid by the county!"

The news about Jiang Zhishi hasn't come back yet. I don't know which old woman Shang will choose as her daughter-in-law. Today, she doesn't have the energy to show Lu Dongshan's face. Hearing this, Lu Zhaojun replied angrily: "That's natural. No matter how shallow the Lu family's eyelids are, Do you want to save this too?"

Lu Wei reached out his hand to stop her, and said to Shang San'er: "There is also your Qionghua dew, besides the annual tribute, if my family wants more, it will be paid at the price given to Qizhen Pavilion!"

Shang San'er nodded in response: "That's right, I just dare not sell too much!"

Knowing what he was worried about, Lu Wei snorted softly: "Don't worry, the Lu family is not the Ning family of Yaopeng City, and will not use your wine to compete with Qizhen Pavilion and Luliu City, and only use it for guests!"

After finishing speaking, he told his son: "It's late at night, Dongshan will send the owner of the mall to the protocol department!"

Shang San'er cupped his fists again: "I'm smelling of alcohol, I'll go wash it off first, I don't dare to ask you to send me off, I already know the way!"

Waiting for the news of Jiang Zhishi to be reported by the ear gods, we still need to discuss and deal with it. Tonight, the county guard’s mansion is destined to have a hard sleep. Lu Zhaojun is still restless. Lu Dongshan smiled and sent him to the bathhouse, waiting for him to wash. After taking a shower, I was sent to the concierge department to rest.

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, the two ninth ranks were nowhere to be seen, Mrs. Lu and Lu Wei frowned, and Lu Zhaojun's face was ashen.

Could it be that the merchant really chose her as his daughter-in-law?
With his heart pounding, Lu Dongshan asked, "Father, can the God of Ear Report send back news?"

Lu Wei nodded: "His family doesn't choose Lu's daughter, but wants Mingyue to be his daughter-in-law!"

Lu Zhaojun looked angry, and his eyes were burning: "That thief just wanted to insult me, Mingyue knew about it, she just pretended to see me laughing!"

The man surnamed Shang did not choose her as his wife, and he got his wish, but at this turning point, the joy that should have been there was quickly burned away by the anger derived from humiliation, and the meditation bracelet was no longer worth it. His fingers turned blue.

Lu Dongshan was surprised at first, and then, like his father, he put aside the businessman's contempt for the Lu family, frowned and calculated the gains and losses first.

For that bright moon, Lu Dongshan also had thoughts in his early years.

Not only because of his good looks, he could really marry him, no matter if he is the main wife or the second wife, it would be beneficial for him to be the next master of the Qingniu temple and control the temple.

But when Mingyue went to Lu Zhaojun's side to be a maid, he lost his mind.

The mansion appointed Lu Zhaojun as the next sheriff, because compared with Lu Dongshan and other heirs, she has two advantages: firstly, her practice is smoother, and she has the hope of ninth rank; Naturally, she can get the support of Shishan Academy, where Mrs. Lu was born, and Cai Fan and other immortals introduced by the academy are also close to her.

Stone Mountain Academy is located six thousand miles to the north of Dongshan County, and it controls six cities. There are also Earth Immortals and several Ninth-Rank Immortals in it. When Cai Fan was hired, it was because of the academy's favor.

But other than that, Mrs. Lu is not an important role in Shishan Academy, and she is not close, so the Lu family can't borrow much. Cai Fan is only a Confucianism cultivator, not a descendant of the academy, far inferior to the Green Willow City in the county. Lu Zhaojun will be arranged to go on a blind date only if there are five or six ninth ranks, and the city lord has a dog comparable to an immortal.

In addition to two strengths, Lu Zhaojun also has two weaknesses: one is that he has a quick temper, is irritable, and rarely cares about the consequences when he is in charge; the other is that he is a daughter.

The patriarch of the Earth Immortal who lived in seclusion in the Lu family said that if Lu Zhaojun wants to take over as the county guard, the husband can only join the Lu family, and the child's surname is not to mention Lu, and the next county guard must be ordered by the ancestor, and the power cannot be left behind.

The old ancestor has already nodded, Lu Dongshan thought that he had no hope for the position of the next Patriarch, but he didn't know that the Zhou family in Green Willow City was dead, and a Da Luo Jinxian appeared to take over the city lord himself. Lu Zhaojun, who offended that one, has become the first choice for marriage!
As far as Lu Dongshan is concerned, of course he can't wait to choose Lu Zhaojun!
But the matter has failed, the businessman is unwilling to marry the Lu family, so he finds another way to re-election to Mingyue!

No need to look at Lu Zhaojun's ashen face, Lu Dongshan also understood that for her, this was the most embarrassing humiliation in her life, and it was only a moment to turn against Mingyue!
