However, the ones who were most confused were the Lu family's head butler and the other Lu family members. They were all dumbfounded and their scalps were numb.
If a master comes, they can be said to be here for Huang Li's sake.
But then several wealthy households came, as well as the county magistrate, the stewards of the Judao Sect, and even the elders.
Although Huang Li has some status, he definitely does not have the face.
So, why are these people here?!
Undoubtedly, they all came for Lu Qi.
The butler was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"What are you doing standing still? Get out of here!"
The master had already come close, and without giving the chief steward any face, he pulled him away.
The wealthy Chen family and Huang family also came forward and raised their hands to Lu Qi. They did not even look at the butler and his party, and even pushed them away.
The butlers were like clowns, they came arrogantly, but they didn't even fart, they were squeezed into a corner.
He wanted to get angry and scold, but seeing so many big people, he wanted to dig a hole and hide.
The master cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu, I'm late. I apologize for my late arrival. This is a small courtesy, so please forgive me."
He presented a gift box with both hands, and even opened it in front of everyone, revealing a fist-sized golden bull inside. Judging from the weight, it was estimated to be fifteen or six taels.
It’s worth more than a thousand taels of silver!
Lu Qi probably only made that much from selling the one hundred horizontal knives.
Master is actually willing to give away so much!
Lu Qi was confused and didn't dare to accept it. He said, "Master, I don't want to be rewarded for no merit. I really don't dare to accept it."
The master smiled and said: "You should, you should, you have helped my county government a lot, you should accept it. If you refuse to accept it, you are looking down on me."
When Lu Qizheng didn't know what to do, both the Chen family and the Huang family brought a brocade box.
The head of the Chen family smiled and said: "Master, look at how tacky the golden bull you gave me is. Master Lu, this is a fire pearl in the Nanming Fire Mine. It can illuminate the road at night and make fire during the day. If the inner energy is poured into it, it can be released.
When the flame comes out, the temperature is no less than your furnace!"
Lu Qi was even more confused. Such a valuable treasure was probably ten to eight times more valuable than a golden bull.
Actually gave it to him?!
He definitely didn't know the head of the Chen family, and he didn't have any communication with him.
"Mr. Chen, this, this, no reward for no merit, is really..."
The head of the Huang family came forward again and said: "Hahaha, Master Lu, if you don't like Huo Mingzhu, you can take a look at Yuanhong, the middle-grade sword of my Huang family."
He took out a machete and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It is difficult for any warrior to resist the temptation of weapons. The middle-grade sword is already the most precious sword in Chiba Prefecture.
The head of the Huang family actually wanted to give it to Lu Qi!
The guests were all dumbfounded, and the villagers were even more horrified.
Huang Li frowned, thoughtfully.
Everyone who gave the gifts was smiling and did not feel that their behavior was exaggerated at all.
Manager Liu and Elder Deng of the Judao Sect also stepped forward and gave Lu Qi a few pills with a smile, all of which could strengthen bones and muscles.
Although it has little effect on Lu Qi at this stage, they don't know.
Such elixirs can be regarded as improving one's strength, and they are no less valuable than that middle-grade sword!
Then there was the county magistrate. This was the first time Lu Qi met him.
A middle-aged man with a long three-dyed beard, wearing ordinary clothes, stood in the crowd without being angry or intimidating, but when he came in front of Lu Qi, he became affable, like a familiar elder.
The county magistrate took out a key, handed it over with a smile, and said: "Master Lu, you have made a great contribution to our county government in building many swords and swords. I heard that you lived in Shenlong Street, so I bought them specially.
I will give you the houses on the left and right sides of No. 76."
Two houses were given as gifts. Although the value is not as good as others, being able to live in three single-family houses side by side on Shenlong Street represents status.
The meaning is completely different.
The neighbors and village elders were even more confused.
Any of these people rushing to give gifts to Lu Qi are important figures they may not be able to meet in their lives, and now they are all fawning over Lu Qi?!
That's right.
Just flattering!
They could see that these big shots were trying to curry favor with Lu Qi!
The butler and his team were so frightened that their legs were weak. They really couldn't figure out what was going on and why these people were rushing to fawn over Lu Qi.
But they knew that there was no way they could stop Lu Qi from moving today.
He just ran away in despair.
But when they left, Lu Qi glanced at them, with murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes.
The county magistrate had noticed his eyes, held his hand, and said with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master Lu, don't worry, those pig-dog-like characters will die if they leave Ping'an Street.
"
Lu Qi was shocked.
The county magistrate actually said these words?
However, he did not doubt the authenticity of what the county official said.
He nodded secretly, since the county official wanted to take action, he would have saved himself a lot of trouble.
only.
He still didn't understand why these people were so eager to curry favor with him.
Just when I was about to ask more questions, these people came up and put the gifts on the conspicuous dining table. Then when they saw an empty table, they walked over.
Several village elders, Huang Li and others were at the main table nearby and quickly stood up.
Lu Qidao: "Your Majesty the County, all distinguished guests, this table is a spare table. If you don't want to eat, it will be packed back for you. Since you are here, please take a seat."
Everyone laughed and looked at the dishes on the table, giving thumbs up with smiles on their faces.
"Good wine and good food. Well, I haven't eaten such delicious and down-to-earth food in a long time." The county magistrate said with a smile.
The master echoed: "Sir, are you right this time?"
The county magistrate laughed loudly, poured the wine, and then invited everyone to sit down.
Since none of them were sitting at the main table, Lu Qi had no choice but to go up to greet them and introduce them to the dishes and wine while enduring doubts.
Lu Qidao: "My lords, this is a shabby little place and I apologize for the poor hospitality. The wine is roasted knife and old rice wine, and the dishes are twice-cooked pork, barbecued pork, sweet and sour pork, Sixi meatballs, drunken chicken with rice wine, roasted chicken, and sesame seeds.
Crispy chicken, white-cut chicken, steamed eggplant with garlic, roasted eggplant with potatoes, fried eggplant with cowpeas, stir-fried cauliflower, and dried Ruyi Xiang.”
"There aren't many dishes, but they are enough. The neighbors from all over the country gathered together to cook them together. Please forgive me if there is anything that doesn't suit your taste."
The county magistrate and others laughed loudly, "That's enough, that's enough. It's all delicious food and wine. Come on, Master Lu, I'll give you a toast and congratulate you on your move to a new house."
Lu Qi drank until his glass was dry. After drinking for a round, he took the initiative to propose a toast to everyone. Seeing that although everyone maintained their pride in their status, they did not dare to show off in the slightest.
He then understood that these people feared him.
During this period, Lu Qi seemed to be smooth and worldly and calm about changes, but in fact he was on pins and needles.
Why do these people have such an attitude?
Could it be that his identity was exposed?
Do these people know the identity of his Muchuluo or Qiao?
But I know it's time to get angry and attack in groups.
He had secretly used the Qi Observation Technique to look around him several times, but there was no unusually strong Qi.
And to be on the safe side, he had already found an opportunity to return to the room and put the top-grade dog-leg knives and throwing knives where they could be reached at any time.
He also has some lime powder and poison hidden in his body. If something goes wrong, he will strike first!
Lu Qi took advantage of the wine and gave a toast to the county magistrate and said: "My lord, county magistrate, may I ask why you knew about my move and gave me such a generous gift?!"
Not only was Lu Qi unaware, but the guests around him had been talking and laughing a lot since they arrived. At this time, they all pricked up their ears and wanted to know why!
