Chapter 35 The Young City Lord Invites
Chapter 35 The Young City Lord Invites
Three days passed by in a hurry!
In these three days, the aura of the palace has become a bit depressing, and some caring people can feel a kind of solemnity that is about to come.
What caused the panic was that during these three days, whether it was the palace where King Zhendong lived, or the palace where the eldest son and the second son lived, many guards from the palace surrounded the outside.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these guards are pretending to be guarding the important figures in the palace, but they are actually monitoring them blatantly.
The sky in the Wangfu seems to be changing soon.
Of course, the premise of all this is that King Zhendong is still alive. If there is such a moment, King Zhendong will let go and go west, I am afraid that the huge King Zhendong's mansion will really change his surname.
The door of the Second Young Master's living hall was closed tightly, no one knew what the Second Young Master was doing after he had only returned to the palace for half a month, and many people even sneered in their hearts.
But today the Second Young Master lived in the hall, but an unexpected guest came, making Chen Xian, who had been guarding the outside all the time, his face instantly become extremely respectful, and he couldn't see his true intentions at all.
"General!"
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of all the guards, it was Lu Dai who had the title of General Dongqi who came.
Looking at the crowd of respectful subordinates, Lu Dai nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "These days, that kid Lu Xun hasn't moved much, has he?"
It seems that Lu Dai thinks that the overall situation is under control, and he will no longer be polite to the second son of the Wangfu. Anyway, he believes that after today, Lu Xun will become his prisoner.
"Back to the general, he has been staying in the palace and never stepped out of the palace!"
Chen Xian reported the report respectfully, which intensified the satisfaction in Lu Dai's eyes, and then strode towards the gate of the palace.
As for the young man guarding the door, he didn't pay attention at all.
Seeing that Lu Dai had already gone up to knock on the door, Chen Xian who followed behind was trembling with fear.
Others don't know Asha's horror, how can he not know? He really expected Asha to slap Lu Dai to death on the spot.
But Asha, who got Lu Xun's advice, just turned a blind eye to Lu Dai and let him knock on the palace door loudly. He knew that his young master inside must have sensed Lu Dai's arrival long ago.
Crunch!
The door of the room was pulled open from the inside, and a haggard-looking boy in black clothes walked out, still holding the black cat in his hand, as if the relationship between the two was extremely close.
"Lu Dai? What are you doing here?"
Lu Xun glanced at the arrogant General Dongqi, and his words were lukewarm. This is the attitude that a second son of a prince's mansion should have. He is too polite but a little fake.
"I said what the hell are you doing, making yourself into such a ghost!"
Lu Dai didn't immediately reveal his intention for coming, but teased with a sneer on his face. In fact, he had already guessed what was going on.
That day, Lu Xun set up a bureau to expose Cao Song's true colors, but later he couldn't do anything, he could only obediently let Cao Song enter the king's palace to treat Zhendong King's illness, which was undoubtedly extremely aggrieved.
Therefore, in Lu Dai's view, Lu Xun's haggard face must be in a hurry.
And this is the Second Young Master, I don't know that a catastrophe is imminent tonight, otherwise, will he cry in a hurry?
"Are you okay? If you're okay, go away!"
Lu Xun looked a little annoyed, and immediately issued an order to evict the guest, which made Lu Dai feel better, and then saw him take out something from his pocket.
"Invitation?"
Lu Xun had sharp eyes and recognized it as an invitation card at first sight. It looked not low-grade, but he didn't quite understand what Lu Dai meant, so he didn't reach out to accept it.
"This is an invitation from Mr. Yang of the City Lord's Mansion, inviting the young generation of Watanabe Castle to gather together!"
This time, Lu Dai did not procrastinate. It seemed that he was a little bit afraid of Watanabe City's Lord's Mansion, but when he heard such a statement, Lu Xun's expression became even weirder.
"The meeting place is in the International Business Alliance, and now the world is crazy... It's inconvenient to go out, so you can only go to the meeting with me!"
I don't know if Lu Dai had thought of this speech long ago, or if he just received this invitation temporarily. After finishing speaking, he put the invitation in his hand directly into Lu Xun's hand, and then turned around.
"By the way, this afternoon is the once-a-month large-scale auction of the International Chamber of Commerce. You are invited by the Young City Lord. Don't be late!"
Lu Dai, who turned around, remembered something again. His voice fell, and he murmured as he walked, "It's a big auction, you have to prepare well, and you must not lose face to my Zhendong Prince's Mansion!"
Hearing Lu Dai's last words, Lu Xun suddenly understood a little bit. It seems that the young city lord invited all the younger generations to participate in the auction of the International Chamber of Commerce, and there was also some meaning of comparing with each other.
Lu Dai obviously also knew that Lu Xunchu had returned to the palace, and the current Zhendong Palace is far from what it used to be. With the few gold beads he received, he might not even be able to buy the lowest things at the auction, right?
"Is there any connection between this and tonight's plan?"
Lu Xun thought deeply for a while, he knew that tonight was the key, this big drama would also kick off when it was dark, and a good show was about to begin.
This may be because Lu Dai's mother and son are planning to plan, fearing that something will happen at the last moment, and taking this opportunity to distract Lu Xun, the only variable.
When he comes back, the palace has changed hands, so there will be no more accidents.
This also shows that the third lady is really scheming, even though Lu Xun has disguised herself very well, and she has not been out of the palace for the past three days, she still has to be foolproof.
"Hey, I happen to have something to look for in the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, so let's go!"
Lu Xun played with the invitation in his hand, then returned to the house, and checked and accepted the results of the past three days.
After lunch, a certain voice in his body murmured, and he took Asha and the big demon out of the mansion.
"I said you should stop nagging, if you don't sell these high-quality pills, where will you get the money to practice?"
Along the way, Lu Xun was really irritated by the muttering in his head, and couldn't help but complain, and then he felt something was wrong, he was still too young.
"You kid also knows that those are rubbish high-grade pills. In my opinion, this kind of rubbish shouldn't be refined, let alone sold!"
Sure enough, Lu Xun only said two sentences, but the senior brother in his body had ten sentences waiting for him. Hearing what the other party said, he couldn't help curling his lips, but he stopped talking.
It turned out that within these three days, Lu Xun had refined a lot of first-grade pills, besides Qingxin Pill, there was also a first-grade pill called Quepi Dan.
The first level of a martial artist is called the tempering skin level. As the name suggests, it is to refine the skin externally. If the skin is refined to a certain level, one can become a first-level martial artist.
And the so-called Tempering Pill, for those who are about to become a first-level martial artist, or have already become a first-level martial artist, the effect is extremely good, and it will shorten the time this martial artist spends in this level by a lot.
When Lu Xun refined the first-grade Qingxin Pill for the first time, it was a high-grade Qingxin Pill, but was regarded as garbage by his seniors, and he also crushed those high-grade Qingxin Pills, and finally refined a perfect Qingxin Pill Dan.
But Lu Xun knew that even Cao Song, who had reached the fourth rank of medicine, might not be able to succeed every time he wanted to refine the first-grade Qingxin Dan.
That is to say, first-grade top-grade Qingxin Dan is rare in this small Watanabe City. If it is brought to the auction, it will definitely fetch a satisfactory price.
Now Lu Xun is extremely poor, so the high-grade Qingxin Pill and Quenpi Pill that he refined within these three days were not thrown away or broken, but kept.
It's all money!
But in the eyes of the senior brother, it was completely unacceptable. Perhaps in the time when he was still alive, he had never refined a elixir that was not of perfect quality, right?
Fortunately, Lu Xun finally refined four pills in perfect condition, two each of Qingxin Pill and Quepi Pill, which made the senior brother a little bit satisfied, but the nagging never stopped.
Lu Xun planned to sell all the high-quality elixirs, but kept one of the perfect-level quenching skin elixirs, because it was also useful to him.
However, although he knew that the high-quality elixir was very valuable, and the perfect elixir was even more precious, he still didn't know much about the market situation of Watanabe Castle. Therefore, after he came to the International Chamber of Commerce, he went straight to find Zheng Qian, the steward.
"Haha, Mr. Lu won't come for a few days, so I miss Zheng!"
Zheng Qian, a fat man who was almost two sizes of an ordinary person, almost couldn't see his eyes from smiling. When he saw the boy in black who pushed the door and entered, what he said made Lu Xun feel chills.
It would be fine if this was a beautiful girl, but a fat man who weighed several hundred pounds showed such an ambiguous expression, even Lu Xun, who had experienced countless lives, couldn't stand it.
"Looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, the previous matter must have been resolved satisfactorily. Congratulations!"
The Wanuo Business Alliance is not an intelligence organization like Tingxinlou, nor will it deliberately inquire about the internal affairs of Zhendong Palace, so what Zheng Qian knows is only what happened in Tiandulou that day.
At that time, there was a big commotion, and even Princess Zhendong came forward in person, and finally found out the true face of the chief physician of the palace. Does it need to be said?
Except for Tingxinlou, in the eyes of most outsiders, the master of the Zhendong Palace must still be the princess. Cao Song, an old guy who eats inside and out, may not be able to eat and walk around this time.
Zheng Qian mentioned this matter as soon as they met, in addition to expressing congratulations, he also had the intention of insinuating.
He has never known the relationship between this Mr. Lu and the Zhendong Prince's Mansion.
"Guan Zheng's favor, Lu will remember it!"
In fact, in front of Zheng Guanshi of the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance, although Lu Xun changed his appearance, he didn't mind being guessed by the other party, so he accepted it calmly.
This answer made the fat man ponder, as if he understood something.
