Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 138 Ambition
After settling these warlocks, Chen Yuansheng took An Qi, Lu Liangshan, Tumo, and Lu Qingluan around the territory. Of course, they had different feelings.

In just over two months since An Qi left last time, the changes in the territory were far beyond his imagination. You must know that when he last came, the only people in the territory who could take action were Chen Yuansheng and two tauren.

"What Brother Sheng is doing is not an ordinary career. Just treating him as a brother is not enough."

An Qi had heard Chen Yuansheng talk about desert protection before, but now it seemed that Brother Sheng not only wanted to protect the desert, but also had far-reaching goals: It was exciting to think about it, but also very nervous and scary.

Lu Qingluan was not only shocked, but also curious, because the "slave, reckless man, muscular man, rough man, pervert" in his mind had nothing in common with the Chen Yuansheng in front of him. They were two completely different people.

The territory is not big, and there are not many immigrants. It seems that everyone is very busy and tired, but the faces of these young guys do not have the sadness, numbness, and restraint of the farmers outside Maple Leaf City. No matter where they go, they can be heard Unbridled laughter and the occasional crude joke.

She had never heard of those monster beasts. Some of the silver beasts seemed much more powerful than Chen Yuansheng, but they respected each other very much after meeting Chen Yuansheng, and they were like brothers.

There is also that big bird called the Erfalcon, which can be found everywhere, making jokes and not being serious.

"What a strange man."

"I don't see what specialties he has. How can he attract so many powerful monsters and immigrants?"

"There is also Tu Mo, who is an honored guest of the Lu family. He has always been serious about his speech. My father would always apologize when he saw him. When he got here, he seemed to respect the man named Chen."

Lu Qingluan followed the crowd and secretly looked at Chen Yuansheng from time to time, always feeling that this guy was an enigma.

Lu Liangshan came with a mission. Before he came, he had two serious talks with the ancestor of the Lu family and the three elders. The longest one was all night long and they talked about it in the early morning.

Lu Liangshan's main responsibilities in the Lu family are protection and transportation. The resources he can mobilize are limited. Without the support of the family, he can't help Chen Yuansheng even if he wants to.

"It's been less than a month, and Lord Chen's cultivation seems to have improved again."

Tu Mo didn't care much about the others. He had been feeling the murderous aura brought by Chen Yuansheng, which was much stronger than last time: "If I guessed correctly, you are probably at the peak of bronze."

"Brother Tumo is awesome."

Just four days ago, Chen Yuansheng promoted himself once and reached the level of Bronze Warrior (4/5)

Hearing Chen Yuansheng's personal admission, Tumo and Lu Liangshan, who had just walked out of Lingzhi Garden, stopped in shock.

In fact, Tu Mo was not sure about Chen Yuansheng's state. He thought it might be because he often participated in desert hunting and his murderous aura was stronger. He was just guessing, but he didn't expect Chen Yuansheng to admit it himself.

In human countries, there are still a lot of bronze warriors, but they are all supplemented by resources such as pills. It is no longer possible to actually practice by sensing spiritual energy.

To advance from Bronze Warrior to Silver Warrior, elixirs alone are not enough, otherwise Lu Liangshan would have been promoted long ago.

"Lord Chen, let's find a place to talk in detail."

What Lu Liangshan needs to impress is not himself, but the Lu family ancestor and the three elders behind him, so he needs Chen Yuansheng to explain to him: what do you want, what can you provide, and what are your plans in the future.

Now Chen Yuansheng is still an insignificant existence among the major forces.

The Lu family has long established a foothold in Lan Yin Kingdom, and all Chen Yuansheng can provide is nothing more than spiritual plants, which is the icing on the cake for the Lu family.

There is Lu Liangshan's selfishness here. He wants to improve his status in the family through Chen Yuansheng.

Therefore, the more potential Chen Yuansheng displayed, the more confident he would be with the ancestors of the Lu family.

Seeing them entering the study to talk secretly, Tumo did not participate and went outside to watch the monsters train.

Lu Qingluan didn't participate either. She went to find Zizhu because when she came, Zizhu's mother asked her to help with a few words.

An Qi didn't know whether she should participate, but was dragged in by Chen Yuansheng.

…………

There are four wing rooms in total. Huang Ying and the others live in one room, while Zizhu lives alone in one room.

There was not even a single piece of decent furniture in the huge room. There were a few animal skins on the floor in the corner, with dry leaves underneath. There were a few new beddings on the animal skins, which had just been shipped this time.

Next to the floor is a broken table that has been exposed to the weather for who knows how many years. The legs of the table are pieced together. There is a clay pot on the table and a few porcelain bowls.

Under the table was a chair with one leg missing, on which was a pile of girls' clothes.

There were some newly unloaded things piled in the corner, including three musical instruments that Zizhu's mother asked them to bring.

Other than that, nothing.

After Lu Qingluan entered the wing, tears almost fell from her heart: Zizhu's place is not much better than the beggars in Maple Leaf City.

Lu Qingluan was also one of the 'judges' when Granny Song sent someone to An's house, so she was no stranger to Zizhu. Although the latter was not as good as the noble lady, she was raised in a boudoir since she was a child, pampered and well-versed in everything.

Such a beautiful girl lives in a doghouse that is worse than a beggar. Chen is really... not a pervert.

"Thank you Miss Lu."

Taking a bag of coins from Lu Qingluan, Zizhu Yingying gave him a gift, with a faint smile on his pretty face: "Actually, you have also seen that even if you have money here, you can't spend it." "Is my mother okay? .”

Zizhu didn't give up her seat either, because there was no place to sit in the room.

Lu Qingluan was really tired and sat directly on the animal skin floor: "She has recovered from her illness and asked me to bring you a message: She is going to sell the house and go back to her hometown. If you are not happy here, She will find a way to redeem you."

"Hometown?"

Zizhu raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly, and a hint of shame and anger flashed across her pretty face: Mother doesn't have a hometown, she is going back to Chunlou, and she is almost forty...

It took a long time for Zizhu to break free from her shame and anger, and forced a smile on her pretty face: "No, I'm actually pretty good here. Miss Lu, please bring me a message back, tell her not to sell the house, wait I've settled in here and will find a way to pick her up."

"Very good? Take it?"

Lu Qingluan looked up awkwardly and looked at the room. He really didn't think there was anything good about it.

The girls next door were very cooperative, chattering and playing non-stop.

"There is a mirror, show me quickly, I'm afraid I'm already tanned."

"Show the little bear a mirror later. The little guy doesn't know what he looks like yet."

"Show it to the master. The master probably doesn't know how dark he looks."

"Kekeke, you can go later..."

Lu Qingluan reached out and touched the mustache sticking to the corner of his mouth: It sounds like he is really happy, it shouldn't be an act.

"Miss Lu, have a drink of water. This is water from the bottle tree outside. It's very sweet. Master... the master allows us to drink one bottle every five days."

Lu Qingluan took the porcelain bowl and took a sip, and couldn't help but nod vigorously: "Okay, it tastes good. There is spiritual energy in this water, which should be of great help to the warlock."

"Sorry, I'm really thirsty. Sister Zizhu, give me another bowl."

In a short time, Lu Qingluan drank the remaining half of the can of water.

Zizhu gritted his teeth and poured water for her, feeling so distressed that it dripped.

…………

The secret conversation between Chen Yuansheng and Lu Liangshan lasted from noon to evening.

An Qi was just there to accompany him, and he spent the entire afternoon stunned and terrified: the two people in front of him were nominally discussing business, but they never talked about prices or gold coins. By the end, An Qi could no longer keep up with their thoughts.

From reading between the lines of their conversation, An Qi could only sum up two words: ambition.

Both sides are learning about each other, and the content of the conversation is from shallow to deep, from the purchase of spiritual plants to the training of warlocks: from territorial development to the distribution of forces and advantages of neighboring countries; from combat power ratio to war strategies; from Lanyin Kingdom to Zhuxia country, Qingshuang Empire, to the Giant Country.

An Qi was now left with low self-esteem. Only now did he understand that although he had dealt with Lu Liangshan more than once, the latter never took him seriously.Brother Sheng treats him well, but I'm afraid he just treats him as a cute and fun little brother.

An Qi secretly swore in her heart: "I will grow up as soon as possible, and I won't let anyone look down on me."

"If we make a friendship with each other, we will disperse if all our benefits are exhausted."

Chen Yuansheng has a clear mind. The reason why he is always on guard against Lu Liangshan is because he does not believe that anyone will help him for no reason, even if the other person is making money.

"If my guess is correct, Brother Lu probably wants this place."

As Chen Yuansheng spoke, he used a bamboo pen to draw a circle on the simple rice paper map. It used to be the junction of the Blue Yin Kingdom and the Qingshuang Empire. It is now invaded by swamp-polluting creatures and belongs to a power vacuum.

Lu Liangshan tapped the table with his fingers, with an expression of appreciation on his face: "Lord Chen is indeed very wise, but I don't have much force here. When the time comes, Lord Chen will only need to give one or two cities and let me be the city lord. Don't worry. , the taxes that should be paid will not be less."

"make a deal!"

Chen Yuansheng agreed without hesitation.

All in all, the two of them were still trading, and neither suffered a loss.

Lu Liangshan promised to buy Chen Yuansheng's spiritual plants at the highest price, and if other spiritual plants were needed, they would find a way to get the seeds for Chen Yuansheng to cultivate. The only condition was that Chen Yuansheng's spiritual plants could not be sold to others.

This is also what the ancestor of the Lu family and the three elders meant. For them, this is the most realistic interest relationship.

Whatever Chen Yuansheng needs to buy, Lu Liangshan will do it himself even if he does not get the support of the entire Lu family.

Of course, if Chen Yuansheng's territory needs to sell something in the future, Lu Liangshan will give his full support.

Whether it is buying or selling, Lu Liangshan always makes money. His biggest advantage is the huge resources and strong execution ability of the Lu family, which is exactly what Chen Yuansheng needs most.
