Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 19: Prince of Donghai

Snapped!
Lu Ce took out the jade pendant he carried with him, placed it on the table, and said seriously:

"Lord Longcheng, this [Cloud Pattern Jade Pendant] is a fine product from the Bishui Pavilion eight hundred years ago. I bought it in Tianjing for my enjoyment."

"Since you like auspicious things, how about giving it as a gift?"

When we do business together, we don't have to worry too much about small profits.

This time Chu Wujiang attacked the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, so the Jingping Marquis Mansion naturally decided to increase its investment.

Lu Ce still remembers his father's incredible look:
"Chu Feiyang's son is indeed a character."

"He dared to resist the pressure from the Zhenhai Marquisate, took the initiative to break up, and even won. He is really good."

Lu Ce wiped his neck and asked quickly:

"Father, now that the Zhenhai Marquisate has retreated, should we take advantage of this opportunity..."

Kill Chu Wujiang and put the blame on Zhenhai Marquis Mansion!
After the news of the preliminary reconciliation between the Chu family and the Zhenhai Marquisate came out, the nobles in Longcheng called it a pity.

Jingping Hou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head:
"Not urgent."

"The tide is coming, and the strange beasts in the sea will attack the island."

"According to Mr. Yuan, the scale of this strange beast is unprecedentedly large."

"Zhenhaihou Mansion will not be able to help it."

"This time the reconciliation between the two sides is just a truce."

Under the guidance of such ideas, the Marquis of Jingping Mansion provided almost free assistance.

The Chu family does not have to do anything during this Ghost Festival. As long as they send someone to do it, they can legitimately share the money and get the corresponding ranking.

This is like giving it away for free.

They hope the fight between the two teams will be as intense as possible.

Chu Wujiang took the jade pendant handed over by the young marquis with a smile and nodded:
"Thank you, Marquis Jingping, for your appreciation."

"That's enough."

He found that this jade pendant was crystal clear, the jade was as transparent as solidified fat, and it felt smooth to the touch. It was indeed a top-grade jade pendant.

This piece of jade alone is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Not to mention there are 100 points of luck on it.

It's not a lot, but it's really good stuff.

Chu Wujiang was not greedy and proposed a new condition:
"If the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion has more auspicious items, the Chu family doesn't need a penny of the 200,000 taels of silver."

"I just want something auspicious."

"Also, this martial arts competition has nothing to do with the Chu Mansion."

Lu Ce bowed and said with a smile:
"Please rest assured, Lord Longcheng."

“The Lu family has done this many times and will not let you down.”

"As long as the Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion still exists, the support from the Jingping Marquis' Mansion will never cease."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

The Zhenhai Marquis Mansion and the Jingping Marquis Mansion are in competition with each other.

The Marquis of Jingping would rather let the Chu family control these properties than let the Marquis of Zhenhai return from the sea.

So the alliance between the two sides became stronger.

Chu Wujiang also cordially invited Lu Ce to stay and have a simple meal together.

During the dinner, the two of them drank and chatted like close friends who have known each other for many years.

With his eyes dizzy and his ears burning, Lu Ce raised his glass and asked curiously:

"Lord Longcheng, I have heard some rumors circulating in the streets."

"It is said that you drove Fairy Hong away on the spot without showing any mercy."

"I don't know if it's true or false?"

Chu Wujiang also drank two cups of spirit wine and was slightly tipsy:
"Of course it's true."

Lu Ce put down his wine glass, rubbed his temples, as if to sober himself up, and said:

"This is a bit troublesome."

Chu Wujiang knew that the other party stayed to drink not for the meal, but for some other purpose, so he asked:

"What's the trouble?"

Lu Ce sighed:
"Hong Yanling is known as 'Graceful as a Startled Swan'. She practices the 'Startled Swan Art' of Piaomiao Palace. Her Qinggong is outstanding among the younger generation. She is a master of the Yuandan realm."

"But this is nothing special, it's just a [Nengdan]."

As the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion, Lu Ce, like Chu Wujiang, does not think that a Yuandan realm master is that powerful.

"The only problem is that the prince of the East Sea, Emperor Guangzhu, is a genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and has pursued Hong Yanling."

Chu Wujiang naturally knew about this. He was still somewhat polite to Hong Yanling because he was afraid of getting into trouble.

Beautiful women are always troublesome.

Because she can always find strong men to help her. "Wait."

"Logically speaking, I helped the prince eliminate Chu Zhiyuan, so I should be considered a meritorious official."

Lu Ce took another sip of wine and sneered:

"Noble people are often unreasonable."

"If the prince wants to please Fairy Hong and rekindle their past relationship, he might come to cause trouble for Lord Longcheng."

Chu Wujiang seemed unhurried:

"The prince of the King of the East Sea wouldn't have such insight, would he?"

A good prince is now being treated like a bootlicker by others.

Not to the point.

Lu Ce put down his wine glass, spread his hands, and said helplessly:

"Lord Longcheng lacked contact in his early years and had a great misunderstanding of the children of the nobles."

"To say something offensive, there are very few people like Lu."

“Most people are beyond training.”

"So Prime Minister Fang has always disliked us and recently even revised the 'Performance Assessment Law' to include the children of nobles in the assessment, which caused an uproar."

"The prince of the East Sea, with great martial arts skills and extraordinary talent, is on the list of potential dragons."

"He will also be present at the martial arts tournament, and he may cause trouble for you then."

"Please be careful, Lord Longcheng."

After eating and drinking, Lu Ce left contentedly.

The old butler accompanied Chu Wujiang, and he couldn't help showing a melancholy look:
"Sir, the King of Donghai is in charge of the military and political affairs of Longzhou."

"I will let this old slave represent you in this martial arts tournament to avoid any conflict."

As the son of a noble family, Chu Wujiang was not under the jurisdiction of local officials.

When Prefect Liu came over, Chu Wujiang dared to confront him directly and asked the governor and the governor-general to come and handle his own affairs.

This is a reasonable request.

But that doesn’t mean Chu Wujiang can act recklessly and do anything.

On the contrary, after the founding of the Tianming Dynasty, Emperor Hao was crowned king and suppressed all kinds of evil spirits and monsters to protect the world.

The King of Donghai is the chief military officer of Longzhou.

Although there are officials such as the governor, governor-general, and commander-in-chief to check and balance him, the King of Donghai's control over the nobles is unquestionable.

Once a war breaks out, the Chu family will obey the call of the King of East China Sea, gather their servants, and join the army to fight.

In other words, the King of Donghai is the real boss of the Chu family, and he has nine ways to kill Chu Wujiang.

The nobles in Longzhou are divided into one king, two marquises, three earls and four viscounts. The king here refers to the King of Donghai.

Chu Wujiang calmly ate the last bowl of spiritual rice, shook his head and said:

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime."

"If the prince of Donghai wants to cause trouble, he can at most start with the training and test results to vent his anger for that woman."

Training and performance evaluation are both requirements that the military has for its nobles.

"In the final analysis, the blacksmith still needs to be strong himself."

"As long as I break through to the Yuantai Dacheng stage, all of this won't be a problem."

But now there is only half a month left.

How can you quickly improve your strength in such a short period of time?

The physical realm can make rapid progress because of the foundation left by the master.

To reach the Yuantai realm, even with the Dragon-Tiger Pill, it would still take one or two years of effort.

The old butler hesitated to speak.

Chu Wujiang held the jade pendant given by Lu Ce and absorbed all the luck points on it.

[Book Owner: Chu Wujiang]

[White Luck: 300 points]

These fortunes are still not enough to improve the blue fortunes such as [Natural Martial Bone] and [Bronze Skin and Iron Bones].

"It's simple. Just follow me to the antique street and take a look."

"Maybe we can find some treasure."

Chu Wujiang was so quiet that he wanted to move. He had been staying in this mansion for two days, and it was time to go out for a walk to see if there were any treasures to pick up.

About 700 points are needed to transform the talent of [Wu Gu Tian Cheng] and further accelerate the speed of cultivation.

The Crown Prince of Donghae, right?

If you want to be a bootlicker, I will beat you into a dog!
