Ye Hong moved his mouth a few times, but finally said nothing and watched the two people leave helplessly.
The two came to the guest room, and after sitting down, Lu Tao said: "Uncle Duan, long time no see, are there any happy events recently?"
Duan Zhengyuan laughed and said: "Master Lu, I will notify you first of any happy events."
The two chatted for a while, and Duan Zhengyuan felt that he could tell Lu Tao about this matter. After all, Lu Tao was the future heir of the family. Lu Yang's departure this time may have a close relationship with Lu Tao. If this is the case, tell Lu Tao about Lu Yang's whereabouts.
Then the relationship with Lu Tao will be closer. Once Lu Tao becomes the head of the Lu family in the future, the Duan family will also gain considerable benefits.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Duan Zhengyuan asked tentatively: "Master Lu, I heard that the head of the Lu family has a concubine named Su Rui. Is this possible?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Tao's face froze, because except for the prominent people in the Lu family who knew about Su Rui being Lu Zhentian's concubine, no one else knew about it. Lu Tao didn't think where Duan Zhengyuan got the gossip, since he could tell
After all, what evidence has been obtained about this incident? Lu Yang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead at the moment. Could it be...
Lu Tao didn't waste any time and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Duan, have you met Lu Yang?"
"Lu Yang?" Duan Zhengyuan smiled slightly and said, "A young man came to my house today. He looks about thirteen or fourteen years old. I don't know if he is Lu Yang, but he has a jade pendant unique to the Lu family."
No matter how stupid Lu Tao was, he knew that the person must be Lu Yang, and said ecstatically: "So, Lu Yang is still in the Duan Mansion now?"
Duan Zhengyuan was an old fox. He did not answer directly and said: "Master Duan, we are all sensible people, so we won't say meaningless words. If you become the Lu family, what will you do to the Duan family in the future?" He did not say anything after that, because
He believed that with Lu Tao's IQ, he could already understand it.
Lu Tao, who was groomed as the future heir of the Lu family, could certainly hear the meaning behind the words and promised: "Uncle Duan, don't worry. If ### becomes the head of the Lu family in the future, the trade cooperation with Uncle Duan will never be reduced.
.Not only that, but in the future, the Duan family will not need to pay heavy gifts during the New Year and holidays, how about that?"
A small family's attachment to a big family is not just a nominal attachment. Whenever there is a Chinese New Year or a holiday, a small family needs to present a large amount of items, worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Don't underestimate these tens of thousands of gold coins. The average family's annual income is only
It's just a few gold coins. If you eat and drink normally, you won't need a single silver coin for a month.
Duan Zhengyuan betrayed Lu Yang just for profit. He would not do anything without profit. Hearing Lu Tao's guarantee, he smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Master Lu, on behalf of the Duan family, I would like to say thank you in advance.
.As you wish, that guy is still at the Duan family. If Master Lu needs it, he can follow me to the Duan family tomorrow morning."
"No, without further ado, if that kid runs away, it will be difficult for me to find him in the future. Let's go to the Duan family now." What Lu Tao is most worried about is that Lu Yang is not dead. Now that he knows the news, his heart also
Cruel. Now that you have done it, you cannot give up halfway. If Lu Yang tells his father about this, it will be difficult for him to become the head of the Lu family again in the future.
Duan Zhengyuan frowned and said: "It is already late at night, and the Tianlang City Gate has long been closed. It is easy to enter the city but difficult to go out."
Lu Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Duan, have you forgotten the status of our Lu family in Tianlang City? As long as we show the token, they dare not let us out of the city?"
Duan Zhengyuan was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "How could I have forgotten this? As the future heir of the Lu family, how could Master Lu not have a token jade pendant!"
In the dark night, I can't see my fingers, and I don't know where the moon is hiding.
On the official road outside Tianlang City, a carriage ### was moving forward. Lu Tao and Duan Zhengyuan were sitting on the carriage. People could be vaguely seen flashing outside the carriage. These figures were all guards of the Lu family, and their cultivation levels were all at Xuan.
They were wearing black night clothes, and every time their feet flickered, they would move ten feet away. It can be seen that they are practicing high-grade Qinggong martial arts.
A few hours later, as soon as the sky turned white, everyone entered Hechong County.
There are many families in Hechong County, but the Duan family is the only one with a title.
The Duan family has a very high status in Hechong County. The county masters always speak politely to Duan Zhengyuan when they see him. Not only that, many direct descendants of the Duan family are still officials in the county, and the generals who guard the city are from the Duan family.
Man. Just like this, Duan Zhengyuan only needs to issue an order, and the city gate can be closed. Except for the strong men above the heaven level, or the immortal cultivators, even those with high cultivation levels cannot escape from Hechong City.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the four city gates of Hechong County were closed, and the carriage galloped all the way to Duan Mansion.
After lighting the incense, the carriage stopped in front of Duan's mansion. Duan Zhengyuan got out of the carriage first, opened the curtain and said: "Master Lu, please..."
Lu Tao did not get off the carriage. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "No, he is a loser. He is not worthy of letting me get out of the car and wait for him to come out to see me."
Duan Zhengyuan glanced around and saw that there were already pedestrians on the street. He lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this good? If someone sees it and this matter reaches the ears of the Lu family, wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble?"
Hearing this, Lu Tao's face became a little ugly, and he said unhappily: "Uncle Duan, you and I are on the same road now, are you still afraid of my father? That trash is dead, won't my father investigate? Could it be that he
Still can't find out that he has been to the Duan Mansion? Actually, don't worry, I can definitely tell my father that his kid accidentally killed Su Rui and then ran away in fear of crime. I just brought people to hunt him down."
Duan Zhengyuan was speechless. Not even a child would believe this, but Lu Tao could actually say it.
Seeing Duan Zhengyuan's disbelief, Lu Tao snorted coldly: "You will do whatever I say. Do you doubt my IQ?"
"I really doubt whether you have any brains. You can't kill someone like this if you want to!" Duan Zhengyuan thought so in his heart, but did not dare to say it out. He said bravely, "Master Lu, your method is indeed good, but I think outsiders
Miscellaneous, if that kid seizes the opportunity and runs away, won't there be trouble in the future? Why not call him to the back garden and then kill him."
"You want me to get off the carriage and wait for him?" When Lu Tao heard this, he immediately said coldly, "What if this young master just refuses to get off the carriage?"
Duan Zhengyuan never thought of letting him get off the carriage, so he hurriedly said: "Master Lu, you don't need to get off the carriage. The carriage can drive into the back garden of Duan Mansion."
Lu Tao was silent for a while and said: "That's enough, I'll just listen to you once!" After saying that, he ordered someone to drive a carriage directly into the Lu Mansion.
When the passersby around saw this scene, they were all stunned. One thought echoed in their minds at the same time: Who is the person in this carriage? This is too powerful! He actually drove the carriage to Duan Mansion.
Duan Zhengyuan sighed depressedly, glanced at Wu Zhongpu, and said, "Let's go into the city!"
Wu Zhongpu glanced at the carriage entering the mansion, then looked at Duan Zhengyuan, and lowered his voice and said: "Master, who is in this carriage!"
"Who else could it be, the eldest young master of the Lu family?" Duan Zhengyuan said angrily.
Wu Zhongpu was stunned, and in a blink of an eye he understood what was going on, and said: "He doesn't look stupid, how could he do such an idiotic thing? He doesn't look down on our Duan family!"
"
Duan Zhengyuan was also unhappy and could only speak to vent his emotions. He snorted coldly: "He is not stupid, but sometimes he behaves very childishly. He did this just because he wanted to tell that boy that he was the eldest son of the Lu family.
The future heirs all have high status. But what’s the point of doing this? Is it necessary to bother a dying person? "
"What the master said is that by cooperating with people like him, I am worried that the future of the Duan family will..." Wu Zhongpu did not finish his words, he believed that Duan Zhengyuan understood in his heart.
Of course Duan Zhengyuan understood, but things had already developed to this point, and he couldn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Just take it one step at a time! I hope this kid won't be stupid in the future."
Lu Tao drove a horse-drawn carriage into the back garden of Duan's house, crushing countless flowers and plants along the way. Butler Wu felt distressed as he saw that all this was money. Duan Zhengyuan was afraid that he would not be able to invite Lu Yang, so he went to the wing where Lu Tao was in person.
, as soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he heard a low sound of shouting coming from the courtyard. This sound was not unfamiliar to him. It was the sound made when practicing Taishu Boxing.
Duan Zhengyuan was startled, and a thought flashed through his mind: Getting up so early to practice boxing?
At this moment, Duan Zhengyuan suddenly felt that cooperating with Lu Tao was a mistake.
Of course, this thought was just fleeting, and Duan Zhengyuan didn't think much about it. He knocked on the door and said, "Master Lu, Uncle Duan is here to see you. How about having breakfast together?"
After a while, there was a creaking sound, the courtyard door opened, and Lu Yang walked out.
Lu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Uncle Duan, I'm not hungry yet, let's practice for another hour!"
"Practice for another hour? You have time, but that guy can't wait." Duan Zhengyuan muttered and said with a smile, "Look, Uncle Duan was busy last night and didn't have dinner with you. He came here this morning to apologize to you.
, you won’t refuse Uncle Duan’s kindness! Besides, you have been in Duan Mansion for a long time, so you won’t be short of this hour."
Lu Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I have only been practicing Taishu Boxing for a short time and have a weak foundation, so I decided not to go. This moment is very important to me."
Hearing this, Duan Zhengyuan really didn't know what to say. He had seen people who practiced hard, but he had never seen a young man like Lu Yang. He felt that he was the same as his own in other people's homes, and he didn't treat him as the master at all.
Keep it in mind. Lu Tao is still waiting over there! He must think of a way to "invite" Lu Yang over.
Duan Zhengyuan's face darkened, and he said somewhat unhappily: "Master Lu, if you don't go, Uncle Duan will be angry. How should I explain to the head of the Duan family when I see him in the future?"
Lu Yang felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Uncle Duan, I can go with you, but please don't tell my father about this."
Duan Zhengyuan's eyes flashed with confusion, but he didn't think much about it because in his eyes Lu Yang was already a dead man. He nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Duan promises you."
