Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 7: How can a poor horse love the beans in the barn and marry a rich man?
Chu Mansion, Living Room

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although the young marquis spoke politely, there was a hidden meaning in his words.

There was no fool among the people present, and they could all hear the hidden meaning in his words.

Chu Wujiang tapped the table lightly, sending a secret signal.

The old butler immediately understood what he meant and gave him a cold glance with a fierce look in his eyes.

The temperature in the living room dropped suddenly, hitting the two of them.

Establish your authority first!

Lu Ce and the old servant in black robe suddenly found themselves in the polar regions. It was freezing cold and they had to use their internal energy to fight against the incredible cold.

But before they could finish responding, the cold air disappeared in an instant.

It was as if all this had never existed and was just an illusion.

The old servant in black robe stood in front of Lu Ce, ready to prevent the Chu family from taking any risk. Lu Ce's eyes were focused and he was not afraid at all.

Chu Wujiang waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Uncle Fu, the weather is getting cold."

"Let someone bring some stoves so that the young marquis won't get cold."

The old butler nodded immediately:
"As you ordered, I will ask someone to bring it to you right away."

Soon, the maids held up the three-legged beast stove, put in charcoal, and placed it next to Lu Ce, the old servant in black robe.

call!
The burning charcoal fire dispelled the chill for the two.

[Ice Soul Cold Eyes! ]

[The old housekeeper of the Chu Mansion, known as the 'Cold Shadow Swordsman' in the martial arts world, has a pair of icy eyes and can kill people with just a glance. His reputation is well-deserved.]

[He took this opportunity to establish his authority and to show the unity of the Chu family.]

Lu Ce instantly understood what Chu Wujiang meant.

As long as the old butler is willing to obey his orders, the resources of the entire Chu family will still be united around Chu Wujiang.

If the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion tries to seize power by force, they'd better be careful of breaking their teeth.

Lu Ce also reached out his hand to stop the hostility of the black-robed old servant, asking him to step back, and said with a smile:

"It's really getting colder."

"That's why you and I need to stick together for warmth."

"The Chu family has a large area and few people. It's easy to catch a cold."

The eldest son of the Marquis of Jingping’s Mansion is indeed a character.

Affordable, put it down.

He found that Chu Wujiang was a tough guy, so he changed his strategy to forming an alliance.

No wonder Marquis Jingping chose him as the first-line heir.

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and said seriously:

"In the past, our ancestors paved the way through mountains and forests to serve the emperor, and only then did they have a piece of land."

"How can I share it with others so easily?"

"We can form an alliance, but we can't sell land."

[The size of your home is too large. ]

Lu Ce opened his folding fan and said with dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Chu family’s title was not high, but their status in Longzhou was very special, as they were the largest landlords.

More than five hundred years ago, Emperor Hao fought against Emperor Wu and cut off the dragon vein. The entire Longzhou was razed to the ground, tens of millions of people died, and even the Longjiang River was changed its course.

A place that had prospered for thousands of years has turned into ruins.

The ancestor of the Chu family claimed that his contributions were insignificant and he did not dare to ask for other fiefdoms, so he chose the ruins of Longcheng.

Time passed quickly, and Longzhou, which had been reduced to ruins, gradually recovered. The Chu family, who were the first to settle in Longzhou, naturally occupied the most farmland, mountains, forests, etc.

How can it not make people excited?
Unfortunately, Chu Wujiang is in poor health now and the best time has passed.

Next up is the main course.

Lu Ce pretended to sigh and said in a roundabout way:

"Wealth dazzles the eyes, money moves the heart, but one does not know that disaster is about to come."

"Brother Chu, you are guarding such a huge family business, just like a child carrying gold walking in a busy city."

“Only through cooperation can we maintain peace and not lose our wealth.”

Chu Wujiang was not angry. This move by the Marquis of Jingping Mansion seemed honest.

He smiled and said:

"Young Marquis, your words are reasonable and sincere. I admire you."

“But there is another saying in this world.”

"How can a poor horse love beans in a barn and marry a rich man?"

The so-called goodwill of the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion is to require the Chu family to give up a large amount of assets in exchange for protection.

But if Chu Wujiang is not strong, such cooperation will only be gradually eroded, and in the end he will not be able to become a rich man.

What's more, he needs these resources to buy auspicious things and absorb good luck.

Lu Ce was stunned when he heard this, then he clapped his hands and laughed:

"How can a poor horse love beans in a barn and marry a rich man?" "Lu will remember this sentence and pass it on to future generations."

Lu Ce understood that the negotiations were over, but he was not angry. He stood up, took out a token, placed it on the table, and said with a chuckle:
"There are hungry wolves everywhere in Dragon City. Although Brother Chu is a hero, he can't defeat four of them."

"Whenever Brother Chu changes his mind, I will be at the Marquis' Mansion, waiting for you at any time."

Lu Ce came here to do business, not to make enemies.

The Chu family is also a noble family with deep roots. Even if the family falls on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so it is impossible for them to use too harsh means.

Moreover, he did not want the Chu family to fall too quickly, so he reminded them meaningfully:
"There are bad guys in this Chu Mansion."

"Please be careful, Brother Chu."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
"I am deeply impressed by the young marquis's appreciation of me."

"Someday..."

Chu Wujiang was about to agree when he suddenly had an idea.

The black-robed old servant of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion had been keeping his head down to protect Lu Ce.

Even when the old butler tried to test him, the old servant in black robe did not overreact.

Now he raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Wujiang.

Peep into fate and look at energy!

The Book of Death in Chu Wujiang's body slowly unfolded.

It turned out that the young marquis was lying in ambush here.

All his negotiations and friendships were based on one premise, that is, Chu Wujiang really overcame the ten fatalities and turned bad times into good times.

Just now, the young marquis made up his mind to attract attention in front, so that the old servant in black robe could take the opportunity to spy on his life!

If Chu Wujiang had not been close to perfection in body training and had not generated internal energy, if he had not had the Book of Life in his body.

He will be seen clearly by the old servant in black robe without even realizing it.

He is indeed a master.

Too bad I'm screwed!
You want to see it, right?

I'll let you see enough!

Chu Wujiang’s mind moved.

The fate hidden by the Book of Death was revealed at this moment.

Darkness, endless darkness, was immediately reflected in the Eye of Life.

The black-robed old servant's face suddenly changed.

Could it be that Chu Wujiang failed to change his fate?
Then why is he still alive?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Chu Wujiang's fate was reversed in an instant.

It was as if the sun jumped up from the horizon and illuminated the whole world.

Good luck!

From extreme darkness to extreme light, it only takes a moment.

The strong light illuminates everything and swallows everything.

Ah!
The old servant in black robe screamed, blood flowing from his eyes, as if he had been hit hard.

The darker Chu Wujiang's fate is, the brighter the future will be.

This was a burden that the old servant in black robe could not bear.

He had made sufficient preparations, but was still ambushed by Chu Wujiang.

The old butler was well-informed and came to his senses. He shouted:
"Be bold!"

"How dare you spy on the young master's fate."

"Someone, take him down!"

The guards of the Chu Mansion rushed in from outside the house, waiting for orders.

These guards are dressed in iron armor, holding sharp blades, and are armed to the teeth. The worst of them have reached the Yuantai realm.

If they rush forward, even a warrior at the Yuandan realm will die.

The old butler's pupils stared at the two of them, as if there was endless ice, directly freezing the old servant in black robe.

If the young marquis acts rashly, he will suffer the same fate.

"Wait a minute, do it!"

The young Marquis of Jingping Marquis's Mansion showed the demeanor of a great general. He did not make any excuses and immediately admitted the defeat:
"My servant was rude. This is all Lu's fault."

"Please show mercy, Lord Longcheng, and spare his life!"

"Lu will definitely prepare a generous gift and apologize for his crime."

The theory of destiny is very popular among the powerful and wealthy, who will choose their heirs based on their fate.

On the other hand, peeking into other people's fate is a huge taboo.

The thin-lipped young marquis did not abandon his servant and immediately expressed his willingness to take responsibility.

Chu Wujiang was sitting on the chair. When he heard the word "generous gift", he smiled and said:
"Young Marquis, why are you doing this?"

If you let me take advantage of you, I won't be polite.
