Chapter No.16 Going Overnight

Ye Hong moved his mouth a few times, but finally said nothing, watching the two leave helplessly.

The two came to the guest room, and after sitting down, Lu Tao said, "Uncle Duan, long time no see, is there any happy event recently?"

Duan Zhengyuan laughed, and said: "Young Master Lu, I will definitely notify you first when there is a happy event."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Duan Zhengyuan felt that he could tell Lu Tao about this, after all, Lu Tao was the future heir of the family.Lu Yang's departure this time probably has a great relationship with Lu Tao.If this is the case, if you tell Lu Tao about Lu Yang's whereabouts, your relationship with Lu Tao will be closer. Once Lu Tao becomes the head of the Lu family in the future, the Duan family will also get a lot of benefits.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Duan Zhengyuan asked tentatively: "Master Lu, I heard that Patriarch Lu has a concubine named Su Rui, do you know if there is such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Tao's expression froze, because Su Rui was Lu Zhentian's concubine, and except for those with status in the Lu family who knew about it, the rest didn't know about it at all.Lu Tao doesn't think Duan Zhengyuan got the gossip from where, since he can tell this, what kind of evidence does he have, and now Lu Yang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, could it be...

Lu Tao didn't talk nonsense, and quickly asked, "Uncle Duan, have you met Lu Yang?"

"Lu Yang?" Duan Zhengyuan smiled slightly and said, "Today a young man came to my house, he looks like thirteen or fourteen years old. I don't know if he is Lu Yang, but he has the unique jade pendant of the Lu family."

No matter how stupid Lu Tao was, he knew that the person must be Lu Yang, and said ecstatically, "So, Lu Yang is still in the Duan Mansion?"

Duan Zhengyuan is an old fox, he didn't answer directly, and said: "Master Duan, we are all sensible people, so we won't say meaningless things. If you become a member of the Lu family, what will you do to the Duan family in the future?" He didn't say anything after that, because He believed that with Lu Tao's IQ, he could already understand it.

Lu Tao was trained as the future heir of the Lu family, so of course he could hear the meaning of the words, and he assured him: "Don't worry, Uncle Duan, if ### becomes the head of the Lu family in the future, the trade cooperation with Uncle Duan will definitely not be reduced. Not only that, the Duan family will not need to pay generous gifts during the new year and festivals, how about it?"

The small family's attachment to the big family is not just in name. Every Chinese New Year and festival, they need to present a lot of items, worth tens of thousands of gold coins.Don't underestimate the tens of thousands of gold coins. The annual income of ordinary people is only a few gold coins. If they eat and wear normally, they don't need a silver coin a month.

Duan Zhengyuan betrayed Lu Yang just for profit. He would not do anything without profit. Hearing Lu Tao's assurance, he smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Master Lu, I am here to say thank you on behalf of the Duan family. As you wish, that guy is still at Duan's house, if Young Master Lu needs it, he can follow me to Duan's house tomorrow morning."

"No, it's not too late. If that kid runs away, it will be difficult for me to find him in the future. I'll go to Duan's house now." What Lu Tao was most worried about was that Lu Yang was not dead. ruthless.Now that he has done it, he can't give up halfway. If Lu Yang tells his father about it, it will be very difficult for him to become the head of the Lu family in the future.

Duan Zhengyuan frowned, and said: "It's already late at night, the gate of Tianlang City has already been closed, it is easy to enter the city and difficult to leave."

Lu Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Duan, you have forgotten our Lu family's status in Tianlang City! As long as you show your token, how dare they not let us go out of the city?"

Duan Zhengyuan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "How could I have forgotten this matter, as the future heir of the Lu family, Young Master Lu, how could he not have a token jade pendant!"

In the dark night, you can't see your fingers, and the moon doesn't know where it hides.

On the official road outside Tianlang City, a carriage ### was moving forward. Lu Tao and Duan Zhengyuan were sitting in the carriage, and shadows could be vaguely seen outside the carriage.These figures are all the bodyguards of the Lu family. They are all at the Xuan level. They wear black night clothes. Every time their feet flicker, they move ten feet away. It can be seen that they are all practicing first-class light martial arts.

A few hours later, when the sky turned pale, everyone entered Hechong County.

There are quite a few families in Hechong County, but the Duan family is the only family with titles.

The Duan family has a very high status in Hechong County, and the county lord will speak politely when he sees Duan Zhengyuan. Not only that, many descendants of the Duan family are still officials in the county, and the generals guarding the city are from the Duan mansion. people.Just like this, Duan Zhengyuan only needs to issue an order, and the city gate can be closed. Except for those who are above the heavenly rank, or those who cultivate immortals, even those with high cultivation bases cannot escape Hechong City.

As soon as he entered the city gate, the four city gates of Hechong County were closed, and the carriage galloped all the way to Duanfu.

After burning a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of Duan's mansion. Duan Zhengyuan got out of the carriage first, opened the curtain, and said, "Young Master Lu, please..."

Lu Tao didn't get out of the carriage, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "No, he's a waste, he doesn't deserve to let me get out of the carriage and wait for him, let him come out to see me."

Duan Zhengyuan glanced around, there were already pedestrians on the street, he lowered his voice and said: "Isn't that bad! If someone sees this, and if this matter gets to Patriarch Lu's ears, wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble?"

Hearing this, Lu Tao's face became a little ugly, and he said unhappily: "Uncle Duan, you are on the same road with me now, are you still afraid of my father? That trash died, wouldn't my father know how to investigate? Could it be that he Can't find out that he has been to Duanfu? Actually, don't worry, I can tell my father that his kid killed Su Rui by mistake, and then fled in fear of crime, I will bring people to hunt him down. "

Duan Zhengyuan was a little speechless, even a child wouldn't believe this, yet Lu Tao was able to say it.

Seeing Duan Zhengyuan's expression of disbelief, Lu Tao snorted coldly, "You can do whatever I say. Do you doubt my IQ?"

"I really doubt whether you have any brains. If you want to kill someone, you can't kill like this!" Duan Zhengyuan thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and said bravely, "Master Lu, your method is really good, but I think outsiders Miscellaneous, if that kid seizes the opportunity and runs away, wouldn’t there be troubles? It’s better to call him to the back garden and kill him later.”

"You want me to get off the carriage and wait for him?" Lu Tao said coldly when he heard this, "What if my young master won't get out of the carriage for a year?"

Duan Zhengyuan didn't think about letting him get out of the carriage, so he hurriedly said, "Master Lu, you don't need to get out of the carriage, the carriage can definitely drive into the back garden of Duan Mansion."

Lu Tao was silent for a while, and said: "It's not too bad, I'll just listen to you once!" Then, he ordered people to drive into the Lu residence directly in a carriage.

The passers-by around were stunned when they saw this scene, and a thought echoed in their minds at the same time: Who is the person in this carriage!This is too powerful!He actually drove a carriage to Duanfu.

Duan Zhengyuan sighed depressedly, glanced at Wu Zhongpu, and said, "Go, let's go into the city!"

Wu Zhongpu glanced at the carriage entering the mansion, then at Duan Zhengyuan, and said in a low voice: "Master, who is in this carriage!"

"Who else is it, the young master of the Lu family." Duan Zhengyuan said angrily.

Wu Zhongpu was stunned for a moment, and he understood what was going on in a blink of an eye, and said: "He doesn't look stupid, how could he do such an idiotic thing? This doesn't take our Duan family seriously! "

Duan Zhengyuan was also upset, he could only speak to vent his inner emotions, and snorted coldly: "He's not stupid, but sometimes he acts very naively. He did this just to tell that kid that he is the eldest son of the Lu family. The future heirs all have high status. But what's the point of doing this? Is it necessary to go to such trouble for a dying person?"

"What the master said is that if you cooperate with someone like him, I'm worried about the future of the Duan family..." Wu Zhongpu didn't finish his sentence, he believed that Duan Zhengyuan understood it in his heart.

Of course Duan Zhengyuan understands, but the matter has developed to this point, he can't say anything, waved his hand and said: "Let's take one step at a time! I hope this kid won't be stupid in the future."

Lu Tao drove his carriage into the back garden of Duan's house. He did not know how many flowers and plants were crushed along the way. Butler Wu felt distressed when he saw it. It was all white money.Duan Zhengyuan was afraid that he would not be able to invite Lu Yang, so he went to Lu Tao's room in person. As soon as he came outside the courtyard, he heard a low voice coming from the courtyard.

Duan Zhengyuan was startled, and a thought flashed in his mind: get up so early to practice boxing?

At this moment, Duan Zhengyuan suddenly felt that it was a mistake to cooperate with Lu Tao.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting, Duan Zhengyuan didn't think too much, knocked on the door and said: "Young Master Lu, Uncle Duan is here to see you, how about having breakfast together?"

After a while, there was only a creak, the yard door opened, and Lu Yang came out.

Lu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Uncle Duan, I'm not hungry yet, let's practice for another hour!"

"Practice for another hour? You have time, that guy can't wait." Duan Zhengyuan muttered in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Look, Uncle Duan was busy last night and didn't have dinner with you. He came this morning to apologize to you , you won’t refuse Uncle Duan’s kindness, right? Besides, you’ve been in Duan’s residence for a long time, and it’s not even an hour away.”

Lu Yang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I have only practiced Tishuquan for a short time, and my foundation is weak, so I still won't go. This hour is very important to me."

Hearing this, Duan Zhengyuan really didn't know what to say. He has seen people who practice hard, but he has never seen a young man like Lu Yang. Put it in your eyes.Lu Tao is still waiting there!He had to think of a way to "invite" Lu Yang over.

Duan Zhengyuan's face darkened, and he said a little unhappy: "Master Lu, if you don't go, Uncle Duan will be angry. When I see Patriarch Duan in the future, how can I explain to him?"

Lu Yang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle Duan, I can go with you, please don't tell my father about this."

Duan Zhengyuan's eyes flashed with puzzlement, but he didn't think much about it, because Lu Yang was already a dead man in his eyes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Duan promises you."
