Volume II Fengqi Anxi Mansion Chapter 194: One Person Gains the Way
In front of the gate of Changshui County, Lu Jiuzhang met with Wang Yunshan's family and Zhou Cheng.
"Director Lu!"
Facing Lu Jiuzhang again, Zhou Cheng felt indescribably complicated.
When I first met Lu Jiuzhang, he was just a handyman.
At that time, Lu Jiuzhang was practicing very hard.
Now he has become the boss of his immediate boss.
How long has it been since then? You have been promoted so quickly.
"Brother Lu, you are awesome. I am a rough guy and can't speak. Please take care of me more in the future."
Wang Yunshan also said on the side.
Compared to Zhou Cheng, Wang Yunshan is much happier.
"Hahaha, Master Zhou, there is no need to be polite. Brother Wang, we are all old acquaintances, so we must take care of you." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile.
"Director Lu, it was me who was rude before, I hope Director Lu won't blame me."
Wang Yunshan's wife Yingying stepped forward and apologized.
There were a lot of jokes made in front of Lu Jiuzhang before.
"Mrs.-in-law is seeing a foreigner. They are all members of the family, so why should we blame her?"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "It's getting late, let's set off."
Everyone got on the carriage and headed outside the city.
Lu Jiuzhang specially asked the handyman to go around and go to the grave of his eldest brother Lu Huaigu first.
The tomb was already covered with weeds.
Lu Jiuzhang got off the carriage and stood in front of his eldest brother Lu Huaigu's grave.
This cheap brother has been dead for several months. Lu Jiuzhang did not avenge him, but Yuan Wufeng is already dead.
The real culprit behind the scenes has not been discovered yet, but Lu Jiuzhang believes that he will not keep his elder brother waiting for too long.
"Brother, I'm leaving today."
Lu Jiuzhang took out a jar of wine and said, "You usually like girls and wine the most. I can't get the girl for you. I can't stuff her into a coffin and bury her with you, right?"
"There is good wine, and this wine is produced in Anxi Prefecture."
"I'm afraid you have never enjoyed such a blessing in your life!"
Lu Jiuzhang poured wine in front of the tomb.
"If you have a spirit in heaven, I hope you can help me."
Lu Jiuzhang muttered silently, "Wish me peace and success!"
After saying that, Lu Jiuzhang knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Then, the carriage drove towards Anxi Mansion.
…
On the other side, the eunuchs who carried the imperial decree to various places have returned to Jingzhao Mansion one after another.
In the imperial study, the new emperor summoned a eunuch.
"Has the imperial edict sent to Lu Jiuzhang been conveyed?" the new emperor asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I did hand it over to Lu Jiuzhang personally."
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and replied.
There were many eunuchs delivering the order this time, why did you only call yourself back?
Could it be because I accepted a gift from Lu Jiuzhang?
But most of those eunuchs will accept gifts.
It can be considered a lucky draw.
Generally speaking, His Majesty will not pursue the matter.
"What did Lu Jiuzhang say?" the new emperor asked.
"Lu Jiuzhang just knelt down to receive the order and didn't say anything else," the eunuch replied.
"Really?"
The new emperor's eyes were sharp.
The eunuch immediately fell to the ground, trembling with fear, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu really has nothing else to say."
The eunuch recalled what happened that day. After Lu Jiuzhang received the order, he gave Lu Jiuzhang a warning.
Then Lu Jiuzhang thanked his father-in-law for his advice.
Other than that, there seems to be nothing else.
"Back to Your Majesty, I also collected two [Pole Star Grass] plants from Lu Jiuzhang, worth 400 taels of gold."
The eunuch was frightened and uneasy.
"Give me [Pole Star Grass]."
The new emperor said.
The eunuch hurriedly took out two boxes from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't touched [Pole Star Grass] since it came into my hands. I hope your Majesty, for the sake of my many years of service to you, spare my life."
"Go down."
The new emperor did not pursue the matter.
In fact, Lu Jiuzhang gave the eunuch a gift, and the new emperor knew about it when the eunuch first came back.
What surprised the new emperor was what kind of person was Lu Jiuzhang?
Since he was accepted as a disciple by Master Xu, Master Xu should understand his character.
Or perhaps, his temper and character will be more or less similar to Master Xu.
But Master Xu would not give gifts to eunuchs.
On weekdays, Master Xu was very arrogant and respectful to the eunuchs. Even if they were dissatisfied, the eunuchs would not dare to speak out.
I don't even dare to complain in front of her.
Why would Master Xu’s disciples give gifts to eunuchs?
How strange!
He opened two [Pole Star Grass] plants and stroked them for a while.
This [Pole Star Grass] is considered a treasure to the eunuch, but to her, it is like grass.
There are countless gifts in the palace that are more valuable than [Pole Star Grass].
"Someone is coming!"
The new emperor shouted.
"His Majesty!"
A slave girl walked in quickly and knelt down on the ground.
"Send these two [Pole Star Grass] to Master Xu," the new emperor said.
The slave stood up slowly and carefully took the [Pole Star Grass] from the new emperor's hand.
Later, under the escort of the palace guards, the servant took the pole star grass to Master Xu's residence.
…
An hour later.
In the study room, Master Xu looked at the [Pole Star Grass] in front of him for a long time but didn't see any meaning.
The New Emperor wouldn't give away two [Pole Star Grass] plants out of nowhere, right?
But what does she really mean?
Polar Star Grass is produced in the far north and is used by warriors for training.
Does it mean that he should go to the far north to check whether the officials there were corrupt when picking [Pole Star Grass]?
wrong!
If this were the case, the new emperor would have issued an edict directly and would not have left people guessing like this.
Then why?
"May I ask, girl, when Your Majesty asked me to send this [Pole Star Grass] to me, did you have any other words to convey to me?"
Master Xu asked.
"There is nothing else to say. Your Majesty just asked your slave to bring it to you."
The slave replied.
This is strange!
I am not a martial artist, and I have no need for [Pole Star Grass], so why give this to me?
But since it was a reward from the new emperor, it cannot be left carelessly.
After much thought, it would be safest to place it beside the bed or in the study room.
After the people in the palace left, Master Xu sat by the bed and stayed awake for a long time.
He thought about it for half the night but couldn't figure it out. Until the next morning when he went to court, he felt a little out of sorts.
…
Anxi Prefecture.
Lu Jiuzhang is back.
At this time, the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture is in dire straits and is expected to have a lot of troubles to deal with in the future.
"After Zhou Cheng comes to Anxi Mansion, he should serve as the Demon-Slaying Guard."
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
The Demon Slayer Guard of Anxi Prefecture has the same position as the Demon Slayer Envoy of Changshui County, but after all, it is an official position of Anxi Prefecture, and in theory, it is more powerful than the Demon Slayer Envoy of Changshui County.
Lu Jiuzhang also wanted to promote Zhou Cheng to Demon Slayer, but Zhou Cheng's cultivation level was too low.
He is still at the ninth level of martial arts, and his actual combat power is not very strong.
However, Lu Jiuzhang can provide resources to cultivate him. When he reaches the eighth level of martial arts, he can be promoted to the Demon Slayer of Anxi Prefecture as appropriate.
"I ordered Wang Yunshan to move to the right as a warehouse official and take charge of the warehouse. His position is equivalent to that of the Demon Slayer Guard." Lu Jiuzhang said.
It can be regarded as a promotion for Wang Yunshan.
"Thank you, Director Lu!"
Zhou Cheng and Wang Yunshan nodded and expressed gratitude.
It is a good saying that if a person achieves the Tao, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven.
When Lu Jiuzhang was promoted, they were also promoted. This chapter has been completed!
