Seeing Lu Ba who was starving to death, Lu Xu was so angry and anxious that the Three Corpse Gods jumped into rage, and even called him "animal" in front of outsiders.
However, Lu Ba ignored him. When he saw him approaching with a ferocious look, he suddenly rushed behind the chair where Zhang Baoer and Cai'er were sitting, and then took the second bite!
歘!
It was this voice that made Lu Xu know that it was too late, so he had to calm down and stare at Zhang Baoer with scarlet eyes.
Zhang Baoer smiled helplessly, and pushed away the disciples who came to eat with swords after hearing the news, and then pointed at the ugly-looking Lu Badao:
"I don't need to poison him to kill him, and I don't need to blackmail you... you're not worthy of me doing that!"
"Um?!"
Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but only twice. When he clicked the button for the third time, his eyes suddenly sharpened again, and he stared at Zhang Baoer and sneered:
"Not worthy?!"
Zhang Baoer didn't answer immediately, he just took Cai'er and sat back down, and motioned for Lu Xu to sit down as well.
"What a bold boy!"
Lu Xu said coldly, but after looking at Lu Ba, he still chose to sit down.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Zhang Baoer say calmly:
"It's really not worthy!"
How dare you say that?!
Lu Xu resisted the urge to stand up again, snorted and said nothing, staring straight at Zhang Baoer, waiting for his next words.
Amidst the sound of Lu Ba's chewing, Zhang Bao'er resisted the urge to look back and pointed at the masked man sitting not far from Cai'er - this man was Hai Ping. He had been secretly following Zhang Bao'er today. When he saw Lu Bao'er, he
When Ba Fei came, Zhang Baoer asked him to show up.
Seeing the guy flying over without any scruples, Zhang Baoer changed his mind. He didn't plan to seek benefits for himself through negotiations with his mother-in-law and decided to use his absolute strength to talk to the other party - for a fool like Lu Ba, there was probably no reason.
Only fists are useful.
"Um?!"
Lu Xu was suddenly startled, and stood up with a horrified look on his face. His pupils narrowed several times, and then he stepped forward and saluted respectfully:
"Lu Xu pays homage to senior!"
Haiping cooperated with Zhang Baoer to let go of his breath, and Lu Xu realized that he was an existence in the Zhenfu realm. Now that both father and son were here, even he had to lower his profile.
Besides, in this world where the strong are respected, saluting as a sign of respect when encountering a powerful senior can be said to be an almost subconscious behavior - some masters have bad tempers and perverse personalities, and they kill people just because they don't like the other person.
There are many rumors, and there is a popular saying among martial arts practitioners: Those who disrespect the superior will die!
In just a short while, cold sweat broke out on Lu Xu's forehead. Because Haiping didn't say a word, he still maintained his posture of bowing and saluting.
Seeing Lu Ba killing the third fish, he lowered his head and winked at him quickly, but the guy didn't see it. This made the fear in his heart thicker and thicker. This moment was like a year.
Finally, after taking another breath, Hai Ping said lightly, "Hmm". When he heard Zhang Baoer said with a smile, "Master Lu, please sit down," he slowly straightened up a little, and then lowered half of his buttocks.
on the chair.
However... the half of his butt that had just fallen had the urge to leave the chair the next moment, because he saw the 'animal' at home, after finishing the third piece of rain, stretched out his big hand from above Zhang Baoer's shoulder, and stopped on his face
Not far ahead.
Zhang Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and just as he turned around, he saw Lu Ba's eager voice asking:
"Anymore?"
"...No, Jie Feng Yan is not here!"
Hearing this, Lu Ba said oh, then turned to Hai Ping and bowed politely:
"Junior Lu Ba pays homage to senior."
After saying that, it was over. He walked to Lu Xu's side without any hesitation and sat down like a king. He had no intention of waiting for Hai Ping's signal.
Lu Xu's brows jumped at the sight, but Lu Ba ignored his gesture and just sat down.
Zhang Baoer looked at him with amusement, secretly thinking that this guy really has a personality, although he looked innocent but he was not, he was very arrogant!
Even though he was facing someone who was stronger than the Shenfu realm, he showed no fear at all. Hearing Zhang Baoer say that there was no food left, he kept on stalking and beating him. No...he was sitting upright, his eyes clear!
Zhang Baoer didn't lie to him. The three sweet and sour fish were just snacks prepared for Cai'er, and he didn't bring more.
After watching for a while, he couldn't help but smile, which made Lu Xu tense up and his pupils shrank a bit.
Haiping snorted coldly, but seeing that Zhang Baoer didn't say anything, he continued to maintain the image of a mysterious Taoist master and closed his eyes. The old god was sitting there.
Zhang Baoer smiled because he saw that Lu Ba looked calm but was not... Of course, he didn't mean to be nervous, he just swallowed from time to time and glanced furtively a few times.
Perhaps because he realized that his greedy behavior was discovered by Zhang Baoer, his dark face turned red, and he was about to say something, but at this moment, Fang Yong and Heishan arrived, and they both flew up to the high platform to report.
In fact, there was nothing to report. The army was already stationed in the camp set up outside the city, and nothing unpleasant happened.
However... Zhang Baoer's eyes were sharp and he saw Lu Xu cast an angry look when he first arrived in Heishan. Although it disappeared for a moment, Zhang Baoer was sure that he had seen it correctly, so he asked with a smile:
"May I ask Pavilion Master Lu, has Heishan done anything wrong?"
Heishan was startled and hesitated to speak; Lu Xu was stunned and was about to deny it, but heard Zhang Baoer continue:
"If he has done anything wrong, please tell me. Thank you!"
Seeing that he looked confused at first and then confused, Zhang Baoer explained:
"Heishan is a good person, but he still has a long way to go before he is excellent. If Pavilion Master Lu can point it out and let him reflect on himself, he will definitely improve more... Haha, of course, if he makes serious mistakes,
, I will punish him!"
What does your people’s progress have to do with me?
Although he said this in his heart, Lu Xu said on his lips:
"Sect Master Zhang is amazing!"
This was said so nonsense that Zhang Baoer couldn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, he guessed something, so he looked directly at Heishan and asked:
"Deputy Black, was General Lu Ba tricked into coming here by you?"
Yes, he felt the anger, unwillingness and regret in Lu Xu's tone, and combined with the scene of the old guy chasing his son, he felt that the problem should be with Heishan, who was responsible for welcoming people ten miles away.
These words should not be said in public, but after hearing Zhang Baoer asked, Heishan had no choice but to grit his teeth and say:
"Please make atonement, Master. I hid my thoughts and said, 'Your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world'..."
This guy is also smart. He knows that Zhang Baoer likes the truth, so he tells the whole story of the cause and effect.
He didn't think that Zhang Baoer's question was to give an explanation for the performance of the Lu family and his son, because he knew deeply that this sect leader was full of arrogance from the bottom up, and he didn't bother to give anyone any explanation.
; And... after seeing the Lu family father and son sitting here properly, he was even more certain of this - the sect master had the upper hand.
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer was overjoyed and didn't care about the eyes of the father and son. He directly slapped the armrest and said:
"Not only is there no mistake, but it is meritorious! The ten thousand contribution points are yours!"
Hearing this, Heishan was overjoyed and quickly thanked him!
Contribution points are a kind of hard currency in many sects. Whether it is to exchange for cultivation resources, materials or martial arts skills, they need to be used. The higher the value, the more contribution points are needed for things. They are very precious; Heishan has been working for so long.
I have been busy almost to death every day, and so far I have only obtained more than 8,000 contribution points. Who would have thought that I could get 10,000 by just making a few moves and saying a few words.
Listening to the conversation between the master and the servant, Lu Xu's face became darker and darker, while Lu Ba's face became redder and redder - he realized that he had been deceived.
When Heishan stood happily on one side, Lu Xu couldn't help but said:
"Sect Master Zhang is interested!"
Zhang Baoer knew that these were not polite words, because Lu Xu said it with a sneer when he said it.
He also knew why the other party was so angry: Lu Xingkong, the leader of the Southern Dynasty of the Azure Dynasty, was Lu Xu's nephew, and Lu Ba here had a prince-like status, but he, Zhang Baoer, unscrupulously rewarded his subordinates who had harmed these two people in front of them.
What is it if it's not a slap in the face?
"Pavilion Master Lu is thinking too much!"
Who would have thought that Zhang Baoer would actually say this:
"Heishan has made great contributions. Not only should I reward him, but you should also reward him!"
"oh?!"
Lu Xu was so angry that he laughed instead.
"We, father and son, are stupid, please show me, Master Zhang!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, took a fruit, and said while peeling the fruit for Cai'er:
"Although I am a bit suspected of leading you into a trap, but... the process is not important, what is important is the result!"
Having said this, he fed Cai'er a piece of fruit pulp, and then continued:
"The result is: the two of us don't have to test each other's sincerity. We can have a frank conversation immediately! Master Lu, time is very important!"
“Time is important?!”
Lu Xu was confused. Although he had some vague guesses, it was not clear for a while. Zhang Baoer did not whet his appetite and said bluntly:
"Yes! If it's too late, and Lu Ao can persuade the big and small forces in Chaoyang City or use strong force to take their people for his own use, the next thing will be very troublesome!"
Lu Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that he had missed something. He couldn't help but look back at Chaoyang City in the distance, and saw that only a part of Lu Ao's army could be seen. In other words: Lu Ao did not
Without any hesitation, the army marched directly into Chaoyang City!
At this moment, an old man in gray clothes leapt up from the bottom of the city. Before he landed, he immediately sent a message to Lu Xu to report something.
Not long after, Lu Xu had a gloomy face and shouted:
"Although the old man has a lot of thoughts, but...how could he do this?!"
Zhang Baoer heard these words, he frowned and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
Lu Xu glanced at him, his eyes became complicated, and after a while he sighed:
"Tianyu Pavilion has been occupied by him, and all my people have been captured... Fortunately, I have an extra mind, otherwise I would have lost more than just people."
Zhang Baoer immediately understood what he meant: he had already transferred his property when he left Chaoyang City.
However... he was still surprised by this and couldn't help but sigh:
"The movement is faster than I thought..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It seems like you don't have to reward Montenegro!"
Lu Xu naturally understood what this meant - if Lu Ao had not moved so quickly and left them and his son with buffering time, Heishan would have done something good by tricking Lu Ba here; now, it has been done... It is equivalent to letting them He was forced to give Chaoyang City to the other party.
Heishan's cunning, Lu Ba's gluttony, Zhang Baoer's toughness, Lu Ao's courage... It was too late to say anything now. Lu Xu could only sigh, and then gave Lu Ba a look of hatred.
Lu Ba curled his lips and said proudly:
"There's nothing to be afraid of. The worst we can do is have a fight with that guy!"
Zhang Baoer was overjoyed, these words were what he really meant. Unexpectedly, Lu Ba said it directly without any guidance from him.
Then, just when he was about to say something in a tone that would prevent Lu Xu from noticing his intentions, he saw Lu Xu shook his head, looked at him and said:
"Sect Leader Zhang... If Lu Ao can still restrain himself, we are willing to cooperate with him, but now it is no longer possible... You cannot get involved in the matter between us and Lu Ao!"
"Why is this?!"
Finally it was Zhang Baoer's turn to be confused. However, it didn't last long. Before Lu Xu could think about whether to tell the truth, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"Because of Changwei?!"
Hearing this, Lu Xu's eyelids twitched and he looked at Zhang Baoer in disbelief.
After a while, he nodded and admitted with a wry smile.
"Yes... although there is not enough evidence to prove that you were responsible for the attack on Changxiao Pavilion that night, but if Lu Ao insists that it was you and unites the forces of the original Sunset City to attack you... if we cooperate with you, Changwei can’t explain it!”
Zhang Baoer didn't say anything for a long time after saying this, because he understood - no matter how he used his methods, Lu Xu and his son could not cooperate with him because their roots were in the Southern Dynasty of the Azure Dynasty.
If Lu Ao didn't hold Chaoyang City hostage, everything would be easy to say. After all, no matter how powerful Chang Wei is, he can't do anything to him openly; but now it's different. Lu Ao will definitely not give up this opportunity - once everyone Everyone said that he was the murderer, so Chang Wei had a reason to take action. At that time, Feng Yixiao couldn't even intervene, because although Changxiao Pavilion is not called Wanbao Pavilion, it is indeed the property of Wanbao Pavilion and not Changwei's private property. Changwei had reason to activate the energy of Wanbao Pavilion for a frontal crusade.
With Hai Ming and Hai Ping around, although Zhang Baoer is not afraid of Chang Wei, the Lu family and his son are afraid. Their family members are all in the Tianqing Dynasty. If Chang Wei gets angry, Lu Xingkong will definitely not be able to stop him!
Zhang Baoer suddenly found that he had made a bad move by mistake. His method was not wrong, but he only thought of one thing and not two: the way is higher and the magic is higher - Lu Ao, like him, did not play according to common sense.
