"Tianba, how are things going?" Inside the lobby, Xu Tian looked at Lu Tianba with a smile.

"Don't worry, according to the lord's instructions, the first batch of bamboo has arrived and can be called at any time!"

Lu Tianba bowed respectfully, and then his eyes flashed and he looked at Xu Tian.

"I wonder what the lord wants so much bamboo for?"

"You'll know..."Xu Tian glanced at Lu Tianba.

"By the way, I remember that in three months, it will be your father's birthday!

When the time comes, I have to go and celebrate his birthday! ”

Hearing this, Lu Tianba was shocked. He bowed again with an excited expression.

"It is a great honor for my father to be able to go in person!"

"Tianba doesn't have to be polite, you are my way all the way, and you are indispensable for help.

I treat you as my own brother, and your father is of course my father.

You say yes! Xu Tian smiled and said.

Xu Tian's enthusiasm made Lu Tianba a little uncomfortable.

After some explanation, Lu Tianba clenched his fists and left.

It wasn't until after he left that Xu Tian casually glanced at the attendants and guards in the hall and muttered in a low voice.

"It's strange why this Tianba is so weird today..."

………

After returning to the mansion, as soon as he stepped into the door, Lu Tianba saw Lu Zheng's slightly anxious figure.

"Father..."

Lu Tianba walked over slowly and called out with a smile.

Lu Zheng turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and it was not until he saw that Lu Tianba was safe and sound that he exhaled a long breath.

"You're back!" Lu Zheng hurriedly pulled Lu Tianba's hand, and his palms were full of sweat because he was too nervous.

"As soon as I heard that you were called away by Xu Tian, my heart never came down.

It's been a half-day since I was there, and I thought something was wrong! ”

Lu Tianba sighed secretly and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As the saying goes, this is a thief's heart, and it's really not nonsense.

As long as this inner turmoil is uneasy, anything related to it will come to mind.

"It's okay! Don't think about it! Lu Tianba smiled and patted Lu Zheng's hand.

"That's right! Someone came to you and said that you were in charge of transportation or something..."

Lu Zheng immediately looked in the direction of the lobby and spoke.

Lu Tianba nodded, and then walked to the lobby...

…

Lu Mansion, inside the lobby.

Lu Tianba stepped in, looked at the people who were already standing in it, and smiled.

"I just heard the lord mention it, and now you're here!

How about it, the road is still smooth, Zhou Yi! ”

The person standing in the hall is none other than Zhou Yi.

Since Xu Du returned last time, Zhou Yi was sent by Xu Tian to help Lu Tianba take care of his business.

In Xu Tian's words, the cleverness in Zhou Yi is simply born to do business.

Zhou Yi turned his head when he heard the sound, and he also smiled.

After some greetings, under Lu Tianba's special instructions, he set up a table of reception wine for Zhou Yi.

"Come on! Great work! Lu Tianba raised the wine bottle in his hand, signaled to Zhou Yiyi, raised his head and drank it all.

But Zhou Yi on the other side didn't move, just looked at himself with a strange expression.

Lu Tianba said with some puzzlement. "What's wrong?"

"Brother Lu is the hardest worker, don't dare to be the next!" Zhou Yi picked up the wine bottle and drank it.

Afterwards, he personally picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass for Lu Tianba.

"I don't know if Brother Lu can inquire clearly, what is this batch of bamboo for?"

Zhou Yi poured himself a glass and stared at the wine in the wine bottle.

Lu Tianba picked up the wine bottle and looked at Zhou Yi fiercely.

"What does Brother Zhou mean by this?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth, and he raised his eyes to look at Lu Tianba, without saying a word.

Lu Tianba's heart moved, maybe he thought too much.

Zhou Yi is in charge of the transportation of bamboo, and it is normal to be curious.

"It's not clear, besides, let's just do it for the lord!" Lu Tianba said lightly.

"Haha..."Zhou Yi suddenly laughed when he heard this. Brother Lu is really conscientious! Admire under it!

However, this method and production of sucrose, Brother Lu has to hurry up! ”

"Smack!"

The wine bottle in Lu Tianba's hand fell to the ground in response, and he looked at Zhou Yi dumbfounded.

"You..."

It wasn't until a few breaths had passed that he calmed down. "You are Wei Xuan's man!"

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

This discovery shocked Lu Tianba's heart. He no longer knew how many Wei Xuan's people were around him.

In other words, Xu Tian and even the entire Xiangyang, how many people have been planted by the other party.

"As far as I know, whether it is the production of salted fish, sucrose, or ice cubes, Brother Lu should know these methods!"

Zhou Yi looked at each other meaningfully.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to do it myself?

These methods are known to a few of us in total, and once they are leaked, I will be found out within three days!

At that point, I'll have nothing but death! ”

Lu Tianba slapped the table, looking extremely excited.

Immediately, his eyes flashed, and he stared at Zhou Yi with a frown.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have arrived yesterday!"

Zhou Yi glanced at the other party with some surprise and spread his hands. "Actually, none of this matters, if you want not to implicate yourself, there are many ways.

Isn't the sweet shop managed by Brother Lu? Well? ”

……

Late at night, in the Flying Tiger barracks, inside the big tent.

Shen Du smiled and put down the wooden tablet in his hand and stood up.

"Why did Tianba come here late at night, is something wrong?"

Lu Tianba, who had just walked into the big tent and was still carrying two pots of wine in his hand, was stunned.

Then his face pretended to be gloomy. "Can't you come to my brother for a drink late at night?

Well, it seems that Commander Shen is now disdainful of going down with Zai, I'll go, I'll go! ”

With that, Lu Tianba turned around and was about to walk out.

"Huh..."Shen Du shouted, and stepped forward to grab Lu Tianba in two steps. It's called how to speak! Come on, come on..."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked in the wine jug in the other party's hand.

"You, count how long you haven't been here.

Now that I have come to visit suddenly, of course I have to ask, in case something happens to you, brother, my brother has to take action! ”

Shen Du laughed and put the wine jug on the table, and then personally invited Lu Tianba to the table.

"Really?" Lu Tianba raised his eyebrows and looked at each other and sat down.

The two of them laughed and pushed the cup to change it...

…

At the same time, people flickered outside the Sweet Taste Workshop, one of its largest workshops specializing in cane sugar.

An unknown number of men in black constantly surround this place.

As the first sugar factory, it is heavily guarded all year round.

Although it has been a long time, under Lu Tianba's deliberate arrangement, this place is still extremely heavily guarded.

There are basically no anomalies visible from the outside, except that inside, there are countless patrols and secret sentinels.

As the men in black gathered more and more, it was like a dark cloud, enveloping this place...
