The manor Lu Bai is going to stay in in Shangcheng District does not require any money.
No!
To be precise, it requires very little money.
This garden originally belonged to Deputy Liu Qianhu, but now because of the illegal salt case, it has been confiscated by the city lord's government and investigated.
Lu Bai bought this garden with money lower than the market price.
This garden is very beautiful.
It was City Master Gu who recommended it to Lu Bai.
right!
The lord of Yancheng was named Gu. According to Gu Qinghuan, Lord Gu was the person who visited him that day and was her distant relative.
Lu Bai suddenly realized.
It turned out that they were distant relatives. No wonder my aunt would not bother them if there was no big trouble.
It doesn't matter now.
Although the city lord is the lord of a city, Jin Yiwei, as a personal soldier of the emperor, and as a thousand households, is almost the same level as the city lord.
From now on, if something happens, it will not be considered as annoying them, but they will help each other.
Therefore, Lu Bai followed the advice of City Lord Yancheng, purchased this garden, settled his home here, and became neighbors with City Lord Gu.
This is not——
As soon as Lu Bai moved in, City Master Gu led people to congratulate Lu Bai on his move with great fanfare.
"Lu Qianhu, congratulations, congratulations." City Master Gu cupped his hands.
Lu Bai bowed in return.
City Lord Gu turned to congratulate Gu Qinghuan again.
Gu Qinghuan said nothing.
She is wearing a white shirt, her hair is tied up, and she is dressed like a man. She looks heroic and chic. If a woman she doesn't know sees her, she might go crazy for her.
Gu Mei, the daughter of City Lord Gu, was staring at Gu Qinghuan, her eyes shining brightly.
However, Gu Qinghuan did not look at her, but looked at City Master Gu with a scrutinizing expression.
He was obviously not afraid of exposing the relationship between her and his brother and sister by being so flamboyant.
After all, only an idiot like Lu Bai would believe that she was a distant relative of City Lord Gu.
Not an idiot either.
Gu Qinghuan glanced at Lu Bai. This boy trusted her so much that he rarely doubted what she said.
Also, although Lu Bai is very smart, there are some things that you cannot see through without being smart.
As one of the four major families of the Gu family, no matter how poor his distant relatives were, they would not settle down in Luyuan in Yancheng.
Regarding this, those who know the Gu family can easily guess that Gu Qinghuan's identity is unusual.
However, Lu Bai didn't know much about the aristocratic family.
Gu Qinghuan thought that since City Master Gu was not afraid of exposing her, there was only one truth - he might have wanted to force Gu Qinghuan to return to the Gu family, or he had other motives and it was not impossible to use them as gunmen to deal with the Lu family.
Gu Qinghuan was inclined to, and even determined to be, both.
Gu Qinghuan knew.
The emperor is not the emperor of the common people, nor the emperor of hundreds of officials, but the emperor of the eight major cultivation sects.
The emperor definitely doesn't want to have Yiqiu Villa on his head.
The eight major cultivation sects also don’t want to have Yiqiu Villa above their heads.
Therefore, if there was a chance to bring down Yiqiu Villa, the emperor and the eight major cultivation sects would be happy to do so.
But due to the identity of the Heavenly Sword Immortal——
They will definitely push someone out to swing the sword at Yiqiu Villa on their behalf.
There is no need to destroy Yiqiu Villa.
As long as they knock on the mountain and scare the tigers, so that Yiqiu Villa does not dare to ignore the eight major sects and instead become the nine major sects, their goal will be achieved.
As for Lu Bai, the sword wielder——
Who cares whether he lives or lives.
But Gu Qinghuan cares!
She finally understood now that when Lu Bai went to the Kagura Restaurant and became enemies with the admiral, and when she proposed the idea of uprooting the admiral, why did her good brother perfect the plan and include Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei in his possession.
It turned out that he was playing a bigger game.
Gu Qinghuan sneered.
She said, how could this brother change his temper?
People often say that the most ruthless emperor's family.
In fact, this is not the case. For the sake of power, officials and their families will do whatever it takes.
When Gu Qinghuan was alive and dead, but his body was not seen, the Gu family turned a blind eye to the Lu family's pursuit in Yongle City, so as not to offend the Lu family, in exchange for the Gu family's nephew, the then crown prince, to be treated as if he were the right one.
ascended the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Being.
Now they actually don't care about her life and death, and want to use her pain, her life, and the hundreds of thousands of lives in Shuobei City as a bargaining chip for them to defeat the mountain and shake the tiger.
This is indeed her biological brother.
Can't be wrong.
City Master Gu saw Gu Qinghuan's sneer.
He smiled softly, turned around and let someone come over, "Sister, look who's here."
Behind him, a middle-aged woman looked at Gu Qinghuan excitedly.
Lu Bai knew this middle-aged woman.
She was the one Gu Qinghuan asked him to visit at that time.
"Little Miss——" The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Qinghuan with tears in her eyes.
Gu Qinghuan's cold gaze dropped.
"Sister Lin."
She stood up, took a few steps forward, and held the middle-aged woman's hand tightly.
"Miss, you have suffered all these years." The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Qinghuan's face that had lost its childishness and felt heartbroken.
Gu Qinghuan nodded.
She took the middle-aged woman to a far distance. It was probably inconvenient to say something to Lu Bai in person.
Gu Mei glanced at Lu Bai and went to pull Wang'er away.
As for City Lord Gu.
He exchanged a few words with Lu Bai, but he was always concerned about Gu Qinghuan's cold eyes and wanted to find a chance to explain. So after a few words absent-mindedly, City Master Gu went to find Gu Qinghuan.
He is also familiar with Sister Lin.
He easily intervened in their conversation, and Gu Qinghuan's face showed a happy look like reminiscing.
All of a sudden, Lu Bai was left alone - even Da Hei Niu, who was now accompanied by someone.
When no one was paying attention, she asked City Lord Gu's servants to place the housewarming gifts in her room.
Lu Bai ignored her.
In his opinion, the big black bull should not be a bull demon, but a dragon demon. He was just counting money on a pile of gold and silver.
Maybe, he is the dragon demon.
After all, the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess can still have a red child. As his father is a Bull Demon, it is not impossible to give birth to a Dragon Demon.
But Gu Qinghuan——
Lu Bai looked thoughtfully at their backs as they chatted happily.
Miss?
Judging from the respectful way this middle-aged woman treated her aunt, she seemed to be her former servant.
Why are you visiting the city lord's house now?
It seems there are a lot of tricks here.
Also, Gu Qinghuan has not yet told him why the people in Yongle City massacred the fleeing Shuobei City people.
It's not like Lu Bai didn't ask questions during the time he was recovering from his injuries.
But Gu Qinghuan said that now is not the time, and when the time comes, she will tell Lu Bai.
Having said that.
But Lu Bai felt very uncomfortable now.
He suddenly seemed like an outsider.
It feels like you have a friend or someone who is closer to you, and one day he suddenly gets married, and then he has a child, and he has someone who is closer and more loved, and you start to become insignificant in his life.
, you are no longer a very important person to him, and one day, you will even quietly disappear from his life without causing any waves.
The sadness in it is hard to describe.
But now the feeling in Lu Bai's heart was a hundred times worse than the above examples.
Because he has always regarded Gu Qinghuan and Wang'er as the whole life, and he also regards himself as the center of their lives. They are the most important to each other, and no one can live without the other.
Now, she suddenly discovered that Gu Qinghuan had her relatives, her life, things she didn't want him to know.
Lu Bai felt that she was walking away.
While Lu Bai was looking at Gu Qinghuan in trance, Lu Qinghuan seemed to realize something and turned to look at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai turned his head quickly.
People always have inexplicable pride or strange stubbornness.
When you feel sad because you are no longer important in the other person's heart, you don't always want the other person to see it.
Just learn to pull away.
When one day you really get out of it, your old close friends and relatives will become ordinary friends.
"call."
Just in time, the big black bull patted Lu Bai on the shoulder.
"Lao Lu, why are you so dazed? Oh, why are your eye circles still a little wet? What's wrong with you, are you broken in love?" Da Hei Niu was surprised.
Lu Bai rolled his eyes, "Uncle Lian, what are you holding in your hand?"
The big black bull's attention was immediately diverted.
She raised her shuriken proudly, "See what I got?"
Lu Bai glanced at it.
I have to say, this sword is very beautiful.
The silver scabbard, silver hilt, and appropriately inlaid with gems make it look very luxurious.
"Is this a gift from the city lord?" Lu Bai asked.
The big black cow nods like pounding garlic.
"This must be a lot of money." Lu Bai was surprised, the city lord was willing to spend a lot of money.
"No, no." The big black cow shook his head.
He took out his sword and said, "This is not a waste of money, this is just money!"
Lu Bai took a look and saw it was bright white.
It is indeed a silver sword.
The big black cow flicked the sword and said, "Old Lu, this sword belongs to me."
Lu Bai said angrily: "If you don't practice the upper sword, you practice the lower sword. If you don't practice the iron sword, you practice the silver sword."
The big black cow ignored him and hung the sword on her waist. She immediately felt that she was a handsome and elegant swordsman in white.
Lu Bai reminded her, "Don't forget, you are a woman."
"Oh yes."
The big black cow shook his sleeves and looked forward firmly, "That is a free and unrestrained swordsman girl!"
"You're the only one who's still a girl?"
Lu Bai noticed that Gu Qinghuan was looking here, and he was busy using laughter to cover up the sadness in his heart.
"You are nakedly jealous."
Da Hei Niu stopped talking to him and went to show off to his senior brothers.
"Hey, I'm jealous of your silver sword. It's a fancy but useless thing." Lu Bai felt that this thing was not as useful as the cuckold he gave to Zi Da Hei Niu.
Oh, right!
Lu Bai suddenly remembered that it was because he solved the illegal salt case - although this was not a serious case at all.
But solving a case is solving a case, and the panel still gave Lu Bai a chance to draw a lottery.
Because he was too busy a few days ago, Lu Bai forgot to smoke.
It's time to smoke now.
He clicked on the panel and let the wheel spin.
Lu Bai hopes to draw a realm improvement card or a skill improvement card.
There is no way, the merit points required to improve a skill now are too much.
Although he had just earned a lot of merit recently - on the day of the execution of Deputy Liu Qianhu and others, Lu Bai, who was deeply afraid that he would be beheaded one day, shamelessly acted as an executioner and stole the jobs of several executioners.
I beheaded Deputy Liu Qianhu and two Jin Yiwei who had a critical hit with a kick, and gained a total of 150,000 merit points.
Sure enough, killing Jin Yiwei will get more merit points.
It's a pity that Lu Bai didn't dare to chop off the few remaining heads in order not to spread his bloodthirsty reputation...
The roulette wheel slowly stopped.
Orange light flashed.
A sword appeared in front of Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was surprised, this was to make him become a bitch.
