Chapter 54

"Zhu Long?"

Lu Yu had a slight impression of this name, but couldn't remember it for a while.

However, this was just him. When Kang Hai and Lei Chi heard this voice and name, they looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.It was obvious that these two people knew Zhu Long very well.Without waiting for Lu Yu to ask, Kang Hai took the initiative to explain: "Senior Brother Zhu Longzhu is the No. 1 person in the third realm of our Zizhou Pavilion spiritual fetus level. He is good at swordsmanship and is known as the Master of Hundred Refiners." ! Of course, his strength is also above mine. Although we in Zizhou Pavilion are not clearly ranked in the same class, secretly, we all call him senior brother."

He said.

Lu Yu also thought about it: "It turns out to be him, but he and I have never met each other, and we have no interaction. Why is he looking for me this time?"

Yes.

For an existence that can be called a big brother by the Zizhou Pavilion, it must be a very remarkable existence, but as Lu Yu himself said, he has no friendship with the other party, so why did this person seek him?
Unexpectedly, Kang Hai suddenly laughed: "If he is the Sima Hall Leader who wants to promote the state affairs, I may not know why he is looking for you, but he chose such a critical time to look for you. I think it must be It’s also related to what you Xuanwu Pavilion is asking for, and it’s very good for you.”

Xu Shi saw that Lu Yu still showed an expression of incomprehension, so he explained again, "Junior brother may not know that in addition to being called Senior Brother by us behind our backs, Senior Brother Zhu also has the number one supervisor with real power. A master with a higher status than my master!"

Lu Yumeifeng was slightly shaken and seemed to understand: "Senior Brother, what you mean is that Senior Brother Zhu is looking for me because he might help me win the key vote against Ping Chunqiu?"

Kang Hai said with a smile: "I wish that senior brother would not look for you sooner or later, but why are we looking for you at this time? If not for this, why?"

"If he is really willing to help me, it's really not a good idea. His crucial vote, plus the other five votes that have been determined before, total six votes. No matter what tricks Ping Chunqiu will play, it will be impossible. You succeeded." Lu Yu was in high spirits, but still a little confused, "But why did he help me?"

Kang Hai and Lei Chi both looked thoughtful.

on site.

Suddenly it quieted down.

After a few breaths, Kang Hai said: "He should be right to find you at this time. You must have a purpose in your current situation. I'm afraid he will open his mouth like a lion."

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and pondered: "It's okay for the lion to open his mouth. It's better to have a purpose. As long as I, or Director Mu, can bear the conditions, it's worth it."

In Lu Yu's view, anything he can get in exchange for benefits is worth it.After all, it would be an easy matter to win over Ping Chunqiu, let the position of master of Xuanwu Pavilion arise within Xuanwu Pavilion, and promote Mu Xingtian to the throne.As long as Mu Xingtian comes to power, not to mention the county government, but the internal promotion of Xuanwu Pavilion will definitely be smooth.

Say nothing else.

As far as Mu Xingtian was concerned about the vacant teaching position, Lu Yu had already set his sights on it from the moment the other party said it.He firmly believed that as long as Mu Xingtian was in the position, there would be no obstacles in solving this position.And besides the false teaching of Taoism, what about the position of the third division of Xuanwu Pavilion with real power and Taoism in the future?
With such a person sitting in the position of the Pavilion Master, isn't it relatively easy to get into that position?

It is in Lu Yu's best interest to promote Mu Xingtian to the throne.

otherwise!
Why should he come to Zizhou Pavilion and use his connections to operate this matter?

All of this is for himself, in preparation for his future promotion.

Lu Yu didn't hesitate, took out a magic talisman, came close to him and replied: "Where is senior brother now? I'm coming to find you!"

When the two of them couldn't breathe, Zhu Long's reply came: "Zhu is now in the pavilion in the woods outside the guest room. Junior brother, please come here to find me."

This is considered to be on the line.

Lu Yu looked at Kang Hai and Lei Chi with a smile on his face: "Two senior brothers, come with me."

Kang Hai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "For this kind of thing, it is better for junior brother to go by himself. Junior Brother Lei and I will not go with him. Of course, if there is a result, we must be told as soon as possible." Zhu Long invited Lu Yu, it was a private party, it was really inappropriate for them to go with him.

In case, Zhu Long has something else to say.

It's not very good for these two people to be on the scene.

"Alright then." Lu Yu cupped his hands helplessly, and the three of them parted ways.Kang Hai and Lei Chi walked away, while Lu Yu returned to the guest room department.

Soon.

As expected, Lu Yu saw a young man wearing a black robe in a pavilion in the woods outside the guest room.

When the young man in black robe saw Lu Yu, he came out with a smile all over his face, and said, "Today I finally saw Junior Brother Lu as a real person, and he is just as in the legend, he is so heroic!"

Of course he is Zhu Long!
The being who was secretly called Senior Brother by the Zizhou Hall disciples.

However, although this person has the title of No. 1 in the Three Realms of Zizhou Pavilion, a monk that even monks like Kang Hai admire, he has no airs, his breath is calm, and he has no overbearing posture.

'You are truly worthy of being respected as a senior brother. With this magnanimity, he is far superior to other monks in the same realm!amazing! '

Lu Yu nodded secretly.

Under normal circumstances, those who have genius attributes or are famous are more or less temperamental.The two arrogant Jiannan Dao monks I met before, as well as others, even people like Kang Hai, are there.It was just because he and Kang Hai were friends that he didn't show it in front of him. If it were anyone else, do you think Kang Hai would treat them the same way he treated Lu Yu?

And this person in front of him.

That kind of approachability is definitely not an act!
Lu Yu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, you are joking."

While talking, the two people sat down in the pavilion.On the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, there was a plate of fruits.Zhu Long picked a yellow fruit that exuded a strong and lively aura and sent it to Lu Yu: "This is the unique yellow heart fruit of Huangyun Valley in our Zizhou Pavilion. Come, junior brother, have a taste."

The name of yellow heart fruit.

Lu Yu has also heard of its name for a long time, but because this fruit is unique to Zizhou Pavilion and is of extraordinary value, he has never seen it.Unexpectedly, Zhu Long actually brought such a spiritual fruit among a plate of fruits.

"So this is the yellow heart fruit!" Lu Yu was not polite. After taking it, he ate it in one bite.As soon as it enters the mouth, it explodes into a ball of juice, and a unique sweet taste flows down the mouth and sweeps through the whole body.Suddenly, he felt that his impetuous mind, which had been a little worried about the state affairs affairs caused by Ping Chunqiu, calmed down in an instant.

After experiencing it carefully for a while, I turned it all into my own spiritual energy.

Lu Yu praised: "It is said that the yellow heart fruit can help monks in the three realms, calm down the fire of depression, and calm the mind. It is an excellent spiritual fruit for cultivation. After eating it today, I found out that this fruit is indeed what the rumors say. The same as before, even worse."

Zhu Long laughed loudly: "Junior brother is really a wonderful person! Haha, since you can understand the beauty of it, it means that this fruit is good for you. I just have a few more here to give to you."

A yellow heart fruit may be worth hundreds of spiritual stones.

If there are a few, it can be called a huge fortune.

Lu Yu was shocked: "Senior brother, you don't have to be like this. This fruit is of extraordinary value. How can you give it to me just because of my greed? You can't do this! Otherwise, if you really have a lot of money, senior brother, just sell a few of them to me."

Zhu Long said: "The yellow heart fruit may have some value to others, but to Zhu, it is nothing! What's more, I only give you a few, not dozens? Junior brother, if you say this, Don't say it again! Otherwise, if this word gets out, others will think that I, Zhu Long, am greedy and careless."

talking.

Like a magic trick, he took out a plate of five yellow heart fruits and presented them to Lu Yu.

Maybe he saw the confusion on Lu Yu's face.

Zhu Long said again: "Junior brother, if you refuse, you are not giving me face."

When the words came to this point, Lu Yu could only accept it and said: "Then Lu is being disrespectful."

Zhu Long smiled and said: "That's right!"

a time.

Lu Yu added another label to this Senior Brother of Zizhou Hall, 'Hospitality'.

After ignoring this little episode, Lu Yu asked, "Senior brother, why are you looking for me this time?"

Zhu Long took out another pot of spiritual wine, and calmly filled a glass of wine for himself and Lu Yu. Then he said: "It's like this. Zhu has a friend who just came from the Qi County Patrol Department a few days ago. After retiring from his post, I originally thought about being promoted within Qixian County, but I didn't expect that a group of officials were parachuted down from Jiannan Road in the past few days, so that there were no suitable positions within Qixian County. manage!"

"I have no choice but to change my target. I want to go to other counties in Zizhou to find a suitable errand. I just heard that there is a vacancy in Xuanwu County, so I plan to go to Xuanwu County. But Lu Junior Brother, you also know that if the official monk Taking office in a different place, it’s okay to say that the ninth rank includes the ninth rank, and the eighth rank includes the eighth rank upwards, it is not a simple transfer, even if there is no problem with the official procedures, it must be approved by the county cabinet.”

Lu Yu understood.

This senior brother of Zizhou Guan has a friend who wants to go to Xuanwu County to seek the position of county registrar because he can't get a position in Qixian County.The level of Qixian County is higher than that of Xuanwu County. Although Zhu Long's friend is only the chief patrol officer in Qixian County, his official rank is actually the same as the county captain register of Xuanwu County, starting from the eighth rank.

As for reaching the eighth rank, as Zhu Long said, in addition to the official appointment, one also needs to be recognized by the local county cabinet.Lu Yu's promotion to county captain would not have been possible if the county government hadn't given him the green light.

But now.

It's different from before.

There was a pavilion master in the county pavilion before. Even though Lu Yu's promotion was promoted by Mu Xingtian and others, they could ask for the pavilion master's seal.But now, the master of Xuanwu Pavilion is vacant, and no one can exercise this right.

Lu Yu said helplessly: "Senior Brother, I should help you no matter what, but Senior Brother, you should know that I, the Pavilion Master of Xuanwu Pavilion, just resigned some time ago, and the position of Pavilion Master is still vacant..."

Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, Zhu Long laughed: "Of course I know this, that's why I came to you... Hall Master Sima has decided to promote the state affairs and let me, Ping Chunqiu, a monk from Zizhou Hall, take up the post of Xuanwu Pavilion. Lord. To be honest, I don’t like this person, and he also has a lot of opinions about me. If he is really allowed to take the position, my friend may not have any chance at all. And junior brother, you came to Zizhou Pavilion just for this position. And I don’t want Ping Chunqiu to take office. Since we have the same purpose, let’s work together. As long as Hall Master Sima promotes the state affairs, I will vote against Ping Chunqiu on behalf of my master!”

"Prevent Ping Chunqiu from taking office!"

"No matter who comes to the Xuanwu Pavilion at that time, as long as they are not involved in my friend's affairs, it will be enough to set obstacles."

"How about it."

Zhu Long looked at Lu Yu with a smile.

Lu Yu admired in his heart.

I have to say that the senior brother of Zizhou Hall in front of me is very good at life.Obviously, the most anxious person at the moment was Lu Yu, who wanted to seek help.But now, after Zhu Long's words of lowering his worth, it became Zhu Long begging him.The same thing, different words, and different handling methods made Lu Yu very comfortable.

And Lu Yu also knew.

With Zhu Long's identity, it is pure nonsense to think that Ping Chunqiu's rise to power will prevent his friends from rising to power.Lu Yu didn't believe it, there was no way he could let his friend take over.After all, Xuanwu County is not Xuanwu Pavilion, the chief registrar is not the pavilion master, and he is not even at the level of Sansi Xingdao. How could he, who is called senior brother by countless Zizhou Pavilion disciples, not be able to handle it.

can only say.

This Senior Brother of Zizhou Hall gave Lu Yu a lot of face.

Perhaps, there is something else going on here!
Lu Yu sighed and said, "Senior brother, you have already said this. If I, Lu Yu, don't know what is good and what is good, then I am no longer a human being." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the senior brother of Zizhou Hall in front of him, "Senior brother, you can let me When this friend goes to Xuanwu County to take up his post, the county, whether it is the county government or the county camp, will welcome his arrival with both hands."

Zhu Long laughed loudly: "I knew, Junior Brother, you are a cheerful person, haha, come on, let me have a toast for my friend's successful appointment and for you to get what you want in the Zizhou Hall!"

A toast to the dragon.

Lu Yu did not hesitate either.

Both parties raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Long packed up the things on the table, stood up and walked outside, saying: "Hall Master Sima may convene a state meeting at any time. I will go back to prepare first. We will see you when the meeting is held!"

Lu Yu waited until he had taken several steps before shouting: "Brother, I have another question!"

Zhu Long stopped and said with a smile, "Ask."

Lu Yu pondered: "Although senior brother tries to downplay the favor you gave me, I still want to say thank you! And I would like to take the liberty of asking why senior brother wants to help me."

The State Council objected to Ping Chunqiu's appointment. This was a very heavy favor!
Compared with the friend who helped Zhu Long take up the post of Xuanwu County Secretary, it is countless times bigger.

The light in Zhu Long's eyes flashed slightly: "To be honest, Ping Chunqiu, relying on Hall Master Sima, is usually arrogant and domineering. I don't like him very much, but if you want me to prevent him from taking office in Xuanwu Pavilion, this is really not enough! You If you don’t ask, I won’t tell you, but since I asked, I have to tell you why!”

"Senior Brother Meng asked me to come here."

Lu Yu was stunned: "Meng Dong comes to Senior Brother Meng?"

Zhu Long smiled and did not admit it, but he did not deny it either. He said: "I hope that my junior brother will also prepare well and strive to win Ping Chunqiu in the state affairs meeting!"

After a few steps, Zhu Long had already walked far away.

Lu Yu said loudly: "Send my regards to Senior Brother Meng for me."

Even if he comes to Zizhou Pavilion now, he can't contact Meng Donglai.Later, when I asked Kang Hai, I learned that Meng Donglai's confinement not only restricted him from going down the mountain for three years, but also restricted all communications with him from the outside world.Only when he wanted to contact the outside world, he could use monks with a certain status within the Zizhou Pavilion to help him.

Now that Zhu Long said it was because of Meng Donglai, half of this huge favor must be attributed to Meng Donglai.

Zhu Long, who had already gone away, waved his hand to express that he understood.

When the other party left, Lu Yu thought slightly: "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Meng helped me at the critical moment! Alas, it's a pity that I can't see him, otherwise I would have to thank him in person anyway."

Lu Yu felt very sorry.

'In this way, senior Shangguan got one vote, Senior Brother Yang got two votes, Junior Brother Lei brought one vote, and Director Mu got one vote, plus Senior Brother Zhu's vote, I already got six votes !And then counting Tang Liehuo's abstention, in fact, I have already won! '

'Hey, Ping Chunqiu, even if you use the state hall to discuss affairs, you will never get involved in my position as the head of Xuanwu Pavilion! '

Lu Yu did not waste any time and sent such good news to Kang Hai, Lei Chi, and Mu Xingtian.

Kang Hai and Lei Chi were very happy, and they also told Lu Yu a very crucial news, that is, Hall Master Sima has set a specific time for the state hall meeting, which will start at midnight tomorrow.The three of them agreed to meet again tomorrow, and Lu Yu returned to the guest room.

Start to warm up your own cultivation energy.

at the same time!

Inside Ping Chunqiu's courtyard.

A small internal gathering of five people took place in the courtyard.

Ping Chunqiu sat at the main seat, his face flushed, and he looked like he had drunk a lot of wine.I saw this guy raising his wine glass again, facing the people next to him, laughing loudly: "Master just told me that tomorrow morning at chen o'clock, the state hall meeting will start on time! Hahaha, as long as you support me, Ping will win the Xuanwu There is no problem at all with the position of Pavilion Master."

"Senior Brother You, Senior Brother Tie, Senior Brother Mao, and Junior Brother Yue, come, let's have a drink in this situation! Congratulations on the victory tomorrow!"

Except for Yue Lin, the remaining three of these four people are all powerful supervisors of Zizhou Pavilion.They were also very happy: "With the support of Hall Master Sima, junior brother, your appointment as the master of Xuanwu Pavilion is a certainty. Hehe, what are the few low-level cultivators of Xuanwu Pavilion?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Come, come, drink!"

Among the group of people, Yue Lin looked slightly sad: "Brother, I heard that this little beast Lu Yu is very close to Kang Hailei Chi and others, and they are secretly communicating with each other. Should I send someone to keep an eye on them? To avoid accidents."

Say this.

Ping Chunqiu's face suddenly turned ugly. He slammed his wine glass on the table and said coldly: "Junior brother, why do you always talk about these disappointing things when everyone is happy? Lu Yu Kanghai and the others are working together to let them go. , what kind of thing can it be? It’s not like Shangguan Qi personally took action! Besides, I have Senior Brother You, Senior Brother Tie, Senior Brother Mao, Senior Brother Shang, Senior Brother Guo and Senior Brother Zhao who can’t be there because of something else. With the great help of these six senior brothers, Can there be any surprises?"

"Have you forgotten that Tang Liehuo has abstained? I accounted for six of the remaining eleven votes!"

"The state affairs will be discussed smoothly!"

"And I, Ping Chunqiu, will definitely be able to become the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion!" As he said that, Ping Chunqiu glared at Yue Lin fiercely, "Or maybe you think that I, Ping Chunqiu, can't even handle this thing well? , question my ability?"

All the sweat on Yue Lin's face suddenly broke out.

How dare he question Ping Chunqiu? He just wanted to be cautious, that's all.Unexpectedly, such words would directly anger Ping Chunqiu.

Yue Lin screamed that he was wronged, and quickly explained: "Brother, I don't think I have any intention of questioning your ability. I just want to send a few people over to keep an eye on them."

The powerful supervisor 'Senior Brother Mao' on the side quickly smoothed things over: "Junior Brother Ping, Junior Brother Yue also means well. In fact, what he said makes sense. We should send someone to keep an eye on it." He snapped his fingers, and immediately there was a Third Realm The monk came in.

'Senior Brother Mao' said: "Go and keep an eye on that Lu Yu and see what he is doing. If there is any trouble, come over and tell me right away!"

The monks of the three realms took the order and left.

'Senior Brother Mao' spread his hands and laughed loudly: "Junior Brother Yue, are you still worried now?"

This powerful supervisor has done this, what else can Yue Lin say.Even though he was always worried in his heart.At this moment, he could only raise his glass and blame himself: "With Senior Brother Mao's arrangement, it must be absolutely foolproof... Senior Brother Ping, I just acted like a villain, so I'll punish myself with a glass of wine."

Ping Chunqiu said coldly: "It should have been like this a long time ago, come and continue drinking!"

a time.

The mood at the scene became more and more high, and Xu was in high spirits. Ping Chunqiu had already begun his layout in Xuanwu Pavilion before he took office: "As long as I take the position of Pavilion Master, Senior Brother Mao, your brother-in-law, I guarantee that he Take the position of Director of the Discipline Department! Senior Brother Tie, and your disciple, I recommend him to be the Director of the Mission Department! Of course I will not forget Senior Brother You! Your brother, as the Director of the Permanent Department, should is that OK?"

Finally, his eyes fell on Yue Lin, "When the time comes, Junior Brother Yue, you will serve as the most powerful military officer in Xuanwu Pavilion. When you are promoted to the Fourth Realm, I will ensure that you are promoted to the position of Falun Dao Practitioner!"

"By then, Xuanwu Pavilion will be our world!"

Everyone laughed.

It seems that the position of Xuanwu Pavilion falls on Ping Chunqiu, as if it is a certainty.

 Thanks to 'Ru Daodao' and 'Taibai Yao Yue Jiu Zhongxian' for their continued recommendation votes.
