The fifth deacon Lu Wei reacted the fastest, and said happily when he heard this: "It turns out that the tenth has been promoted, which is really hateful, and it keeps us all in the dark!" "Lu Xin is the top ten among his peers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Xin smiled bitterly: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I really can't mention it." "He's telling the truth. If it is in Beijing, whoever has a child who opens up the second line of Ren Du will report to the elders of the clan as soon as possible. The clan will also hold a feast, inviting all the lords to come to watch the ceremony and celebrate the birth of a new earth-level grandmaster in their clan.

But Lu Xin was in Yuhang when he was promoted, and he was still in the state that Qianfu was referring to at that time, no one cared, and he didn't want to make a noise, so no one knew about it. After so many years, he can't shout and drink as soon as he returns to Beijing, and everyone will say that I am promoted, right?

"Don't talk about those useless ones, you have to treat them anyway!" Lu Wei laughed and said: "The great good thing is still hidden from us, I can't see you poured under the table!" ”

The rest of the deacons also stepped forward to congratulate him, but not all of them were happy for him, and there were a few who immediately turned him into an opponent to watch out for, and they were ready to go back and think about countermeasures!

In order to maintain the prosperity of the family, the martial spirit must not be lost. It is based on the rules that all gate valves are invariant, only the ground level grandmaster is qualified to serve as a deacon, and only the deacon is qualified to compete for the position of lord of the valve, there are almost no exceptions!

Although it does not mean that a Grandmaster of the Ground Rank can necessarily serve as a deacon, as long as he is promoted to a Grandmaster, he will be regarded as a natural candidate for a deacon. It is not even ruled out that the lords and elders will replace the incompetent deacons with it.

Before, Lu Valu happened to have only eight grandmasters, corresponding to the eight deacons, just one radish and one pit, so there was no competitive pressure, but Lu Xin's sudden rise, those deacons who did not perform well on weekdays, had a sense of crisis.

This is also one of the purposes of Lu Shang's public picking.

Now that Lu Xin is already a grandmaster, several deacons are relieved to take the first step. Lu Xin wanted to follow the carriage, but Lu Shang beckoned him and said, "Get in the car." ”

。

A group of land valve guards surrounded the carriage and slowly drove down the road to heaven.

The carriage was covered with a plain carpet, an incense burner, and a few low cushions, which was very simple among the cars of the lords.

Lu Shang and Lu Xin sat opposite each other, the old man looked at him for a while, and said with relief: "Yes, yes, the old man didn't see the wrong person." ”

"The little nephew didn't mean to hide it," Lu Xin said apologetically: "I am a side line, and my reputation is flawed, so I don't dare to be too ostentatious." ”

"It doesn't matter what others think of you, the old man," Lu Shang shook his head firmly, and said to Lu Xin: "But the old man has always believed that he will not misjudge people, and Emperor Qianming will not misjudge you." ”

"......" Rao is Lu Xin is now in the city is very deep, and his heart is still turbulent, and his face changed slightly: "Uncle......"

Lu Shang raised his hand and said immediately: "The things of the year have passed, never mention it again." Said with some feelings: "How long has it been since we two sat down and talked like this?" ”

"It's been ten years." Lu Xin said softly.

"Yes, it's been ten years, the vicissitudes of life, things are not people." Lu Shang nodded, and said with a worried expression: "This country has come to the time of turmoil again. Saying that, he looked at Lu Xin with blazing eyes and said: "Ten years ago, we old things could still sing the leading role, but ten years later, you juniors will have to play the role in this big drama!" ”

"Uncle is the anchor of the land valve, and we still have to rely on you to lead the way." Lu Xin said respectfully.

"I'm seventy-two, seventy-three and eighty-four this year, and the king of Hades doesn't invite myself to come." Lu Shangxiao shook his head: "What if you can live a few more years?" As he gets older and his blood decays, not only his martial arts are all wasted, but his energy is also much worse than before, so he must consider handing over shifts as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Shang's expression became more and more depressed and said: "Although I have many children in Lu Valve, there are more than the inferior, but there are almost no outstanding ones. He was extremely envious: "Xiahou has four masters, Pei has two heroes, and Cui has three heroes, all of which are outstanding momentary choices." Saying that, he sighed faintly: "Where is my land valve?" That is, Lu Jian is still a character, and there are a few outstanding juniors, but far water can't quench the thirst. ”

When Lu Shang said these words, Lu Xin couldn't interject at all, so he could only listen silently.

"Xin'er," Lu Shang stretched out his palm, which was tormented by disease and aging, and pressed it on the back of Lu Xin's hand, "Uncle was the most optimistic about you back then, since you are back, don't be depressed anymore, take out the spirit of ten years ago, and quickly provoke the girder for my Lu Valve!" ”

Ten years ago, Lu Xin would have been enthusiastic about Lu Shang's words of affection and benefit, but after so many things, he was no longer the Lu Xin of the year. In addition to being deeply moved, Lu Xin was still able to soberly analyze Lu Shang's motives for saying this.

First of all, there is no doubt that you are worth fighting for. But more importantly, the old man still didn't want to throw himself into the arms of Xiahou Valve...... Although the children of the gate valve are connected by blood, some undesirable side relatives also take refuge in other families from time to time. Even the children of the direct lineage sometimes become the lackeys of other people's families and leave their own families behind.

The reason is simple, they can't get what they want in the family, and other gate valves can provide just that. At this time, that clan belonging seems to be a little insufficient.

Before, this situation was rare, because the cake of each valve was so big, it must have been distributed by their own children first, and the share left for people with foreign surnames was extremely limited. But as Xiahou gradually became dominant, the situation changed. The powerful Xiahou Valve, on the premise of satisfying the children of this valve, can still come up with enough resources to recruit the children of other families who are unwilling to work for this valve.

And the dual identity of being both the children of the gate lord and the court officials also gave them the opportunity to join the Xiahou valve without betraying the family. As long as they value their official position, more than their clan status, the Xiahou Valve will achieve their goal.

At first, the lords didn't care, but as more and more children did not put the clan first, but put the official position granted by the Xiahou valve in the first place, they gradually became vigilant. The situation of Lu Valve is not bad, but Old Man Lu has to take precautions, and he can't let Lu Xin, a son who is about to rise to the top, join Xiahou Valve and become an object of imitation in the clan.

Moreover, Old Man Lu also needs his own catfish to stir up the stagnant water of Lu Valve. Drawing an unattainable pie can make you work hard, and you can also force those deacons who can get by to have to change their faces and become new people. This abacus can not but be said to be extremely clever.

Of course, Lu Xin also believes that Lu Shang will have some true feelings in it. But he understands better that when he reaches the point where he is the owner, he will no longer talk about feelings or interests. The blending of love and profit, and the wrapping of interests with emotion, is invincible!

。

No matter what he thought in his heart, Lu Xin was still excited with tears in his eyes, and immediately said: "It's because the child was too worried and scared before, and he thought too much about fame." From now on, the child vows to always put the clan first, and leave his personal interests behind! ”

"Good, good!" Lu Shang nodded again and again with satisfaction, and squeezed Lu Xin's hand vigorously and said: "If you do what you say, Lu Valve will definitely live up to you, and the old man will be your strongest backing!" ”

Lu Xin nodded heavily, and said with a tangled expression: "Since this is the case, there is something that the child has to report to his uncle!" ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Shang asked in a deep voice.

"It's a porridge factory!" Lu Xin told Lu Shang about the conversation he heard about the victims when he took his wife and children back to Beijing.

When Lu Shang heard this, the whole person was stunned.

Lu Xin then said softly: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, the child quietly went to a few porridge factories for a while, and found that it was ......" He saw Lu Shang's face gloomy and terrifying, but he still stubbornly said: "The victims are not lying. ”

After Lu Xin finished speaking, he saw Lu Shang staring at him deadly, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face.

The pins in the carriage could be heard, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing!

The guards outside the carriage watched vigilantly around, followed the carriage slowly, and suddenly heard a low order from the lord inside: "Cross the river!" ”
