Lu Bai listened silently to his impassioned remarks.
After he paused for a moment, he asked: "So? What does it have to do with you exchanging children for four?"
Tang Zhu was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "If you take something in advance, you must give it in advance. The sacrifice of these children is worth it."
Lu Bai roughly understood.
"Why, you threw the child to feed the wolves and then raised it for yourself?"
If this was the case, he felt that Tang Zhu was a little too naive. The eunuchs in the harem were all unfamiliar with the white-eyed wolves. It would be too naive to think that just relying on a few children could make them be threatened and obey Tang Zhu's orders.
That's all for feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
"No, I am seeking skin from a tiger!" Tang Zhu corrected Lu Bai.
Obviously he also knows that it is impossible to threaten the people living in the inner study hall by these means, so they are more of an exchange of interests.
Lu Bai nodded.
If this is the case, Tang Zhu is quite smart, at least he doesn't expect those cannibals to keep their promises.
However, he still reminded Tang Zhu, "If you think those eunuchs will save you after entering my prison, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
Not to mention the people in the inner study hall, even if the emperor came in person, Lu Bai would not bring anyone to show off his face.
Tang Zhu looked at Lu Bai with admiration, "I have known this for a long time. The story of Master Lu's battle in the inner library in the palace has now spread throughout the capital. Master Lu can even more frighten Xuanwu in the palace."
He smiled and shook his head, "Now that Nei Shutang wants to avoid Mr. Lu's sharp attack, how could he come to rescue me?"
"In that case, why don't you tell me the identity of the beautiful woman behind the scenes?" Lu Bai said kindly, "If you tell me directly, maybe I can keep your body intact."
Tang Zhu smiled and said, "I don't know the identity of that beautiful woman."
He looked directly at Lu Bai, "Master Lu just beat me to death, and I said the same thing. But -"
He took a sip of wine and said, "I advise Mr. Lu not to be murderous, otherwise I will die. Haha, the Southern Dynasty will be in chaos."
Lu Bai reassured Tang Zhu, "I won't let you die before I find out that beautiful woman."
But since Tang Zhu wanted to torture him to extract a confession and test his toughness, Lu Bai would not disobey him.
When he arrived at Jin Yiwei and got out of the car, Lu Bai called to Fang Qianhu to try out the guys in Zhao Prison, "At least it will give Tang Zhu a long experience. Don't go to Zhao Prison and don't know the characteristics of Zhao Prison."
Fang Qianhu hesitated for a while and then gritted his teeth, "Master Hou, please take a look."
After Lu Bai finished his instructions, he just turned around and suddenly saw many people in front of the door of the Jin Yiwei, including grocer hawking things, coachmen driving carts to solicit business, and some strong warriors.
They all watched Jin Yiwei's side carefully.
After Tang Zhu got out of the car, their eyes couldn't help but stare at him.
Tang Zhu turned around, glanced at their faces with an indifferent expression, and said to Lu Bai: "I now have a way to replace them. They will still be used by me, and the ogre demon will also become history."
Lu Bai disagreed after hearing this.
The eunuchs in the palace have now become gluttons, and trying to silence them is tantamount to asking them to die.
Tang Zhu saw that Lu Bai didn't take it seriously and didn't make any excuses. He was confident that Lu Bai would know about it later.
Then, he looked Lu Bai up and down and said, "Master Hou, from the eight major sects to the officials of the imperial court, if there is anyone in this world that I admire, then it is you."
Lu Bai nodded naturally, "This shows that you have vision."
"But -" Lu Bai sighed sadly, "there is no one in this world that I can like."
Tang Zhu also took it for granted.
He has been observing Lu Bai for a long time. In his eyes, Lu Bai seems to be that relegated immortal, who does not fall into the secular world. It may be too much to say he is transcendent, but it is not an exaggeration to say he is independent from the world.
In his opinion, Lu Bai does not belong to this world. Gu
Tang Zhu never felt that he was a mortal.
Although he does not have the talent for cultivation, he has the intelligence to play around with practitioners. He is conceited about his talent in the world and looks down upon the people in this world.
But Lu Bai was the only person he was willing to admire.
"Master Hou, if there is a chance, we can cooperate." He said sincerely.
Lu Bai glanced at him and said nothing.
Tang Zhu was sure that he would come out.
He glanced at the people who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Oh, they're all here for Tang Zhu." Lu Bai thought to himself, his brows furrowed involuntarily. He seemed to understand what Tang Zhu had to rely on.
Lu Bai couldn't help but smile. He wanted to see how powerful Tang Zhu was.
…
Yongle City.
After Wang'er sent a group of people onto the boat and headed for the capital along the river, he turned around and led Huniu and several female disciples to get on their horses, and then led a few horses dragging luggage away from the dock and headed straight for the wide wilderness.
.
They were going to the capital on horseback.
Perhaps influenced by Wang'er, Huniu and several others also wore red clothes, and they looked like red clouds rolling in the wind.
The reason why I chose to ride to the capital was not because Wang'er didn't like taking a boat, but because of business.
There is a lot of business in Zhongshan Valley now.
Especially after Lu Bai became Marquis of Shuobei, and the trade route to the north and Yongle City were all controlled by Lu Bai, Zhongshan City's business became even more vast and boundless.
From Beiman in the north to Xishu in the west, there is their private salt business.
After having the salt ponds in Yanshan and several salt mines in Hongtailang, they opened up the supply. Although they are not as rich as the country, they are still rich. There are mountains of silver in Zhongshan Valley and they don’t know how to spend it.
.
Wang'er went riding a horse on this trip because he planned to spend his money.
Different from the severe cold when Lu Bai traveled, it was now the scorching summer season. The scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the scalding horses' feet did not dare to rest for a moment, so they ran very fast.
These horses are all provided by the horse demon.
Especially the little red horse under Wang'er's crotch. It was a bloody horse carefully selected by the horse demon from among the horses. It ran with lightning speed, and the wind was blowing under the ribs. Behind them, Hu Niu and the others couldn't keep up.
However, Wang'er did not let the little red horse run to its fullest.
In this barren mountain, if she and Hu Niu were separated, the consequences would be disastrous if she encountered a monster.
I walked like this for half a month, eating and sleeping in the open air.
Thanks to the fact that they brought enough horses and carried a lot of things, otherwise they would have suffered a lot.
Along the way, they also met several monsters.
However, no matter how powerful the monsters are, they are vulnerable to the demon-slaying sword, so they passed through several cities smoothly and gradually entered the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty.
On this day, we were on our way early in the morning. It was extremely hot after the sun rose. When Wang'er and the others were preparing to find a shady place to rest, they saw a tree rising from the woods in front of them.
There was actually a wine shop in this sparsely populated place, and Wang'er couldn't help but be overjoyed.
She turned around and greeted everyone, then patted her horse and got to the front first.
This wine shop has half a thatched house and half a tile-roofed house. The shop in front is made of thatch and blocked by bamboo curtains, which makes the wine shop look very cool.
There were no customers in the restaurant, only the waiter and the shopkeeper.
After hearing the sound of horse hooves, the waiter stood up and came out to greet him. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Wang'er dressed in red.
