low-key is king

Chapter 134 Mr. Lu

"Master Xiang!"

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Butler's voice finally sounded outside, which made Zhao Qidong recover from his trance, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Xun who was sitting next to him drinking tea.

"What did you find?"

Zhao Qidong stood up and walked to the door, but he didn't open the door. After all, Lu Xun's appearance when he entered the mansion just now was quite different from what he is now.

"There is a corpse, a fourth-rank Xiaocheng martial artist. It just so happens that I know his identity. He is a dead soldier secretly raised by the Yan family!"

Butler Zhang's dignified voice came from outside, and when he heard the word "Yan's family", Zhao Qidong trembled, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Lu Xun's move.

"Did you see who moved the hand?"

Zhao Qidong wanted to confirm again, so he asked again, he is not a cultivator, and these things naturally need to be answered by Steward Zhang.

"When I went, he was already dead. There was only a wound on the neck. It was obviously a one-hit kill, very similar to... the skills of those killers from the Hidden Killing Society!"

Zhang Steward is worthy of being a martial artist of the five realms. Even if he didn't see the murderer, he could still infer something from some clues. In his opinion, this inference is almost inseparable.

Naturally, Steward Zhang would not bring back the body of the dead man of the Yan family. He knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yan family were at odds.

"I see!"

Zhao Qidong replied four words, and then fell into a long silence. After a long time, he said: "Notify Bicheng and Minglou, pack up your things quickly, and prepare to leave Tianyang City overnight!"

If it is said that Zhao Qidong before was still undecided, thought that he was not too sure, and did not want to involve Lu Xun, then now he, after believing that what Lu Xun said is true, has finally made some decisions.

Even if Zhao Qidong himself was not afraid of death, he had to think of a way out for his two sons and the old people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If they stay in Tianyang City, [-]% of them will have a dead end.

Now that the Yan clan is keeping themselves, they just don't want to be honest. If they really want to wait for the Zhendong Prince's Mansion to be wiped out by the army, it may be the day when the Prime Minister's Mansion is destroyed.

Since there is an opportunity to fight now, and it is an opportunity brought by his precious little grandson, then Zhao Qidong is not really a stubborn person, so he made this decision immediately without further delay.

"Master?"

Hearing Zhao Qidong's words from the room, Butler Zhang couldn't help being taken aback.

He naturally knew that Bicheng and Minglou were the two sons of Xiangye, but why was it so sudden?

"Steward Zhang, you have been with me for decades. I don't need to tell you why, but you should understand that when the Prime Minister's family lives and dies, you are the only one I can trust!"

Zhao Qidong knew that this matter was too sudden, but naturally he would not explain too much at this time, and he still had great faith in this Butler Zhang.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang!"

Sure enough, after Zhao Qidong's words fell, Butler Zhang didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to make arrangements.

Don't look at him as just a butler on the surface, but he is the number one expert in the prime minister's mansion, and his prestige in this mansion is second only to Zhao Qidong himself.

"Grandpa, do you believe me?"

Lu Xun, who was behind him, had been listening to the conversation between his grandfather and Butler Zhang with a smile, and finally said with a smile at this moment, making Zhao Qidong turn his head with serious eyes.

"Stinky boy, I know you like to mess around since you were a child. My old life doesn't matter, but don't play with your own little life!"

Although Zhao Qidong was laughing and scolding, it contained deep worries.

Even if Lu Xun has such a big face and can persuade the three major forces to help, but in Tianyang City today, the Yan family is the most powerful.

No matter how secretive the Prime Minister's Mansion is, there must be some movement, and it will definitely reach Yan's ears. With the empress' disposition, it is impossible to really let the Prime Minister's Mansion go easily.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I have to save my life to return to Tianyang City!"

Lu Xun smiled slightly. Hearing his last words, Zhao Qidong didn't take it seriously. With the current strength of the Zhendong Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace, how can they wrestle with the Yan family?

In Zhao Qidong's view, Lu Xun's ability to find the three major forces to escort the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion out of Tianyang City is considered the limit, and he must have paid a huge price.

Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as bereaved dogs. If they really have the strength to overthrow the Yan clan, why bother to escape from Tianyang City in despair?

As for what to say about killing back to Tianyang City, that's probably just an angry remark by Lu Xun.

Zhao Qidong didn't take it seriously at all. After this incident, if he could find a secret place to hide from the world, everyone would be happy.

When Lu Xun, his grandparents, and his grandson were talking here, the Prime Minister's Mansion outside had already taken action secretly, and Zhao Qidong was not going to take away all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because there must be spies from the Yan family among them.

Therefore, Steward Zhang already had a group of candidates, including the family members of the Prime Minister's two sons, and some old people who had stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for decades.

These are completely reliable people, and it is impossible to betray the prime minister's office.

"Master Xiang, everything is ready!"

After working all night, Steward Zhang's voice finally sounded outside, causing Zhao Qidong to raise his head to look at Lu Xun, and then found that this precious grandson had changed into the appearance he had when he first entered the mansion.

Crunch!

Zhao Qidong didn't care too much, Lu Xun's identity is not suitable to be disclosed now, so he opened the door directly, and saw Butler Zhang outside, and his two sons.

"Father……"

Zhao Qidong's eldest son, Zhao Bicheng, was nearly fifty years old and had a short beard under his chin. He looked dazed at the moment. Seeing the door open, he couldn't help but wanted to ask, but his father raised his hand to stop him.

"You should all be aware of the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you stay in Tianyang City, you can only wait for death. As the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I must find a way out for you!"

Zhao Qidong looked around at the crowd, and then asked: "If there are those who are reluctant to come here or go with the old man, I will not force it!"

"Master Xiang is of course doing it for our own good. Could it be that he will harm us?"

Steward Zhang is the person who knows Zhao Qidong best. He knows that what Xiangye said was just a test. Since he has brought people here, if any of these people choose not to leave, they will be courting death.

In fact, the people who can be brought here by Steward Zhang are all reliable old people, or they are sons and grandchildren, especially after Steward Zhang has spoken, the doubts in their hearts can no longer be asked.

"Let's go, take the side door on the west side!"

Lu Xun spoke out, and as soon as he said this, many eyes were cast on him. After all, except for Zhang Steward, they had never seen this one before.

"Father, who is this?"

Zhao Minglou, the prime minister's second son, walked towards the west side with his father, and at the same time leaned forward and asked in a low voice. When he asked this question, Zhao Bicheng who was not far away also pricked up his ears.

"This is... your brother-in-law spent a lot of money to invite me to help my Xiangfu get out of trouble..."

When he said this, Zhao Qidong paused several times in a row, especially at the end, he turned his gaze directly to Lu Xun. He couldn't tell the other party's true identity at this time.

"My surname is also Lu, you can call me Mr. Lu!"

Lu Xun just opened his mouth to tell a lie, but his words are not really a lie, and there are so many people with the surname Lu in the Xuanyang country, not every young master Lu can be related to the Xuanyang royal family.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

The Zhao brothers hurriedly cupped their hands. Since they were sent by the Zhendong Palace and their father attached so much importance to it, they naturally would not doubt it.

It's just that they are a little at a loss as to where the people in the prime minister's mansion are going.

Naturally, they are well aware of the current situation in Tianyang City. The Yan family knows that they are going to flee, so can they really remain indifferent?
Crunch!

There is a small door on the west side of the prime minister's mansion, and when they came here to open the door, both Zhao Qidong and Zhang Butler couldn't help but glance at the black-clothed boy, secretly thinking that this is also part of his scheme, right?

The Prime Minister's Mansion has a very high status, and the Yan family will definitely not give up surveillance.

And outside the four gates in the south, east, west, and north, there must be secret eyeliners. Unfortunately, the fourth-rank martial artist of the Yan family in the attic one mile away from the west gate has already turned into a corpse.

"Old Zhao, Mr. Lu, please tell me to wait!"

A graceful figure came forward, it was Yu Xiangjin, the steward of Tianyang City Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance, although her tone was a bit resentful, she didn't have the slightest bit of patience, it was just a joke at first sight.

This time, not only the Zhao brothers and those Xiangfu people were stunned, but even Zhao Qidong was flattered.

Could it be that this distinguished steward of the International Chamber of Commerce has been waiting here since yesterday?

"My grandson, what kind of ability does he have?"

Zhao Qidong is naturally not too stupid. He believes that Yuxiangjin has been staying here not because of himself, the prime minister of Xuanyang Kingdom, but because of the smiling little grandson next to him.

In fact, the reason why Yu Xiangjin valued Lu Xun so much was naturally not because of the identity of the second son of the other party's palace, not to mention that he didn't know this identity, but because of the five-star black card that the other party showed.

Compared with Zheng Qian, the steward of the Watanabe City branch, Yu Xiangjin's status in the All Nations Business League is undoubtedly higher, so she knows the weight of the five-star black card better.

This five-star black card is probably the only one in the entire Xuanyang Kingdom and even the entire Daxuan Dynasty.

Because the five-star black card will not be issued in the Yamashita Dynasty at all, it is exclusive to the Immortal Gate on the mountain.

Moreover, it is impossible for a fairy gate on the mountain with insufficient status to get a five-star black card.

Based on the meaning of the five-star black card, no matter where the young man who called himself Mr. Lu got the five-star black card, even if he just picked it up by accident, Yu Xiangjin must treat him as a distinguished guest of the five-star black card.

This is completely different from the attitude of Zheng Qian, who was in charge at Watanabe Castle at that time. Zheng Qian regarded Lu Xun as a particularly distinguished client, while Yu Xiangjin regarded him as a genius disciple of some fairy sect on the mountain.
