After sending Xiao Cui and the Eighteen Heavenly Maid away, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying naturally went back to their rooms to sleep.
"In a short period of time, there will definitely be nothing we can do about the Taomu Mountain."
"All the divine envoys from the four directions have died here. When he trains some more disciples, I guess I won't be afraid of him anymore."
"But it's not a big deal to have such a thousand-year-old demon keep watching." Lu Zheng frowned and said, "What if he invites some powerful people to come over?"
From the memory of the Western God Envoy, Lu Zheng knew that the Peach Mother Divine Tree also had powerful friends. If the Peach Mother had waited for the Gods from all directions but did not arrive, and guessed that the four of them had failed, would it be possible...
"Lu Lang, please don't be impulsive. This thousand-year-old peach tree spirit cannot leave the realm of thousands of miles, but within the scope of Peach Mother Mountain, even if you are higher than him, you may not be able to defeat him." Shen Ying hurriedly advised.
Lu Zheng nodded.
In the memory of the Western Divine Envoy, most of Tao Mu's friends were casual acquaintances, not close acquaintances by temperament, and they would not come to the Central Plains for Tao Mu's request.
After all, they are all at the same level of strength. Will they watch Tao Mu improve her strength to another level?
Lu Zheng smiled. "So, this matter is basically settled."
"That's natural." Shen Ying said with a smile, then with a flirtatious look, her jade hand gently reached down, "Lu Lang has worked hard today, please don't move, I will serve you well."
"hiss--"
War after war, so many wars.
…
Lu Zheng stayed one night at Taohua Village, had breakfast at the village the next day, and then returned to Tonglin County.
…
"Master Lu?"
"Captain Liu."
As soon as he entered the city, Lu Zheng saw Capt. Liu who was patrolling the city.
Lu Zheng blinked and felt that something was wrong with the way Mr. Liu looked at him.
I used to feel awe and closeness, but looking at it today, I feel even more shocked and unpredictable.
"Captain Liu, do you have something to say?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"No, no! It's nothing!" Liu Captou waved his hands repeatedly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hold it back in the end. He pushed away a few subordinates and whispered to Lu Zheng, "A few days ago, the new governor of Yizhou
I once sent someone to ask the county government to pay attention to the young master, and if the young master returns home, he will send someone to notify the state capital as soon as possible."
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, finally understanding why Du Yuru knew he was going home so quickly, and then came so quickly.
Also, for the highest official in Yizhou, if something happens, the Tonglin County Yamen will of course take care of him.
However, Liu Captou didn't know the inside story, so he was very worried. Now that he saw Lu Zheng, he hurriedly informed Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng laughed and patted Capt. Liu on the arm, "Nothing, nothing. I know Mr. Du's family. Mr. Du said he came to visit me. He didn't know when I would come back, so he let people watch.
.”
"Oh, that's it!" Liu Captou couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was shocked and even more shocked.
Mr. Du? You actually called Magistrate Du Mr. Du?
Also, have we known each other before?
Magistrate Du took the initiative to visit you?
Taoist priest Ming Zhang of Baiyun Temple in Shaotong Mountain doesn’t have this kind of face, right?
After swallowing his saliva, Liu Captou felt that he had never really known Lu Zheng when he first arrived in Tonglin County.
Every time he felt that Lu Zheng's position had been placed higher, Lu Zheng would let him get to know him again.
After bidding farewell to Capt. Liu, Lu Zhengcai returned home leisurely.
"Master!"
As soon as Lu Zheng entered the door, Uncle Li greeted him, "Sir, someone came to see you yesterday and said they had business to discuss with you."
"Oh?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Speaking of business matters, how long has it been since he took care of it?
It has to be a year, right?
After the end of last year, I went to Yizhou Prefecture and sold a handicraft. When I came back, I bought a sweet shop and a sugar factory. Then, except for occasionally replenishing a large amount of bulk rock sugar, I never took care of it again.
Going through the sweets and sugar workshops.
All I know is that Li Bo always sends him account books and money without interruption, and with Lu Zheng's mathematical level, he can easily tell if there is any problem by just flipping through it.
Since there have been no problems with the shops and sugar mills, and they are sufficient to support the operation of themselves and Lu Zheng's family, Lu Zheng naturally does not need to frequently intervene and manage.
"Do you know anything?"
"I don't know, they said they wanted to talk to the young master." Li Bo shook his head and said.
Lu Zheng shrugged and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door behind him, and then a middle-aged man's voice said, "Steward Li, is Mr. Lu at home today?"
"It's quite a coincidence." Lu Zheng shrugged and saw the look in Uncle Li's eyes, so he nodded and said, "Let him come in."
Uncle Li went to open the door, and Lu Zheng went to the front hall to sit down. Then he saw Uncle Li leading a fat middle-aged man and a boy in.
Lu Zheng could see clearly that the middle-aged man obviously did not expect that Lu Zheng's yard was decorated in an elegant and artistic manner.
The arrogance and downcast look he had when he first entered the door has obviously softened a bit, and he has become a little cautious and prudent.
"Sir, please!" Uncle Li led the two of them into the front hall, then turned around and served tea to several people.
The tea sets and tea leaves are in the front hall, and the kettle in the corner is always burning on a low fire, just to make tea at any time.
A purple clay teacup was presented, with plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums on the surface. When the Longjing was poured before the rain, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
Lu Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting on the right side and asked softly, "What do you call me, sir? Why do you want to see me?"
The middle-aged man was shocked by the exquisiteness of the tea set and the beauty of the furniture and vases in his hands. When he heard Lu Zheng's question, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "I am the shopkeeper of the Zhao family in Yizhou, Zhou Mingsheng."
"Yizhou Zhao family?" Lu Zheng blinked, then nodded, "What next?"
Lu Zheng's performance showed that he had never heard of the Zhao family in Yizhou.
In the past, Zhou Mingsheng would have been proud to educate Lu Zheng, a country bumpkin living in the county town, but now facing a house full of priceless utensils and the proud owner of the house, Zhou Mingsheng felt a little timid.
The boy standing behind him was not expressionless either. He looked around, lowered his head and remained silent.
"That's right." Zhou Mingsheng said, "Our Zhao family has recently brought some business to Tonglin County."
"Yeah." Lu Zheng nodded, then blinked, "Icing business?"
"That's not true." Zhou Mingsheng said.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Lu Zheng was a little confused. He said that he only had a sugar shop and a sugar refinery. He thought this was the Zhao family's plan to acquire his business.
"We want to buy your store in Cong'anfang." Zhou Mingsheng said with determination, and finally made his intention clear, "The price is negotiable."
