Chapter Thirty-Eight: Names Long Buried Under the Ruins

"What?!"

Yue exclaimed in a low voice, which was really much beyond her expectations, Lu Chongguang saw that her reaction did not seem to be fake, but he muttered in his heart.

The Lord really didn't tell her about this, and he didn't know what the Lord was planning, in case there was something hidden in this matter, and it happened that the Lord didn't want this girl to know, then wouldn't he stab a big basket for nothing?

"Lord?!"

Lu Chongguang was muttering in his heart, and when he inadvertently looked up, he found that the protagonist of the story was standing at the door of the east courtyard not far away, looking at him expressionlessly.

"I saw that Yue didn't come back for a long time, I was worried that she was lost at night, and I was about to go out to look for her, but I saw that she came back with Boss Lu, which is really a coincidence."

When Lu Chongguang heard the tone of the punishment, he was neither yin nor yang, neither sad nor happy, and his expressionless face, no matter how he looked up and down, he still couldn't see anything, and he couldn't figure out if he heard anything.

"Boss Lu went to visit Chen Yuan, and he happened to meet me on the way and sent me back all the way."

"That's really a lot of work."

"The Lord is gracious, and the light is deserved. If nothing else, then the light will retire first. ”

Xing bowed slightly, Lu Chongguang couldn't figure out his thoughts and didn't want to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Seeing Lu Chongguang walking away, Yue took a step forward to greet her, and took the initiative to mention the conversation between her and Lu Chongguang just now, but she didn't mention the hug and the whispers that were still echoing in her ears in the dark night before the execution.

"I just heard Boss Lu say that he should have been surnamed Amber, no wonder you made a vow to Chen Yuan to welcome him back to Amber Hill."

Xing raised his eyes and glanced at her, guessing that most of what she really wanted to ask was not this matter, but she was embarrassed to ask clearly, so she circled Lu Chongguang's body.

But although he understood it in his heart, he didn't want to demolish her when he thought about it.

Since leaving Yudu, this series of things has come one after another, and it has been a long time since they have been able to say a few words properly.

What's more, the death is like a knife hanging above their heads all the time, in case they don't land safely, once they fall down, they will inevitably be smashed into a bloody blur.

Although he should have believed her, she was the apprentice he brought up after all.

But once she got involved with that person, she disappointed him again and again.

Those who said it, and the disappointment that was not said, although he was still reluctant after all, he was still afraid in the end.

So now, his gossip has reassured him a lot.

If it weren't for Chen Yuan, Lu Chongguang would have returned to the north long ago. Especially when Wei Hu died, Chen Yuan had no worries, Lu Chongguang once thought about taking him back to the north to have a good life and recuperate, maybe he could live for a few more years, but it's a pity... ”

"Since Lu Chongguang has a heart, why don't you just bring Chen Yuan back, if you can let him see more of the green mountains and clear waters in the north, it will really help his body."

Yue's eyes lit up, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible, after all, it was not the first time she had done such a thing as knocking people unconscious and dragging them away, but this time she was simply vetoed by the punishment as soon as she opened her mouth.

"No, Chen Yuan's body has already run out of oil, if you toss him like this, I'm afraid he will die on the road if he can't even reach the northern country."

Xing Lian shook his head again and again, although he understood that Yue's proposal was also well-intentioned, but the fact that this was the case and Chen Yuan himself was no longer interesting, there was really nothing to be done.

Since even the punishment has concluded that this matter is absolutely impossible, Yue can only give up no matter how unwilling he is, but he still can't help sighing in his heart.

However, although Lu Chongguang's father is gone, his uncle has moved his family back to Amber Hill, and he still has some relatives. But in the final analysis, this matter depends on how he plans himself, with the foundation he and Chen Yuan have laid in the Huai River over the years, even if he closes all the shops, the rest of his life will be enough for him to eat for a few lifetimes. But if he can let go of Chen Yuan's affairs and live again, he will definitely be able to gain another piece of the world. ”

"Oh? Didn't Lu Chongguang say that this was all Chen Yuan's credit? Why do you listen to your tone as if you are appreciating Lu Chongguang? ”

"Chen Yuan is indeed a genius when he starts a business, but it is too much to praise him like Lu Chongguang about the existence of heaven and earth, but it is Lu Chongguang, who was supposed to be an eagle that should have flapped its wings and flew high, but Chen Yuan broke his wings, which is really a pity."

"Did you hear what Lu Chongguang and I said?"

Xing said to himself, but he didn't notice that Yue's face seemed to flash a trace of strangeness.

Obviously, he had already heard their conversation clearly, but he was still pretending to be confused, which was really a little awkward.

Xing slanted at her, and he understood her careful thoughts a little, but he raised his eyebrows and said loudly without care.

"As long as I want to know what is going on in this Lu Mansion, is there anything I can't hear?"

Yue laughed at his arrogant appearance, almost like a proud peacock.

But for some reason, seeing him like this, her heart settled down inexplicably.

She really didn't want to admit it, after hearing what he had done and deliberately hiding it from her, there was a moment when she thought she had seen the shadow of death in him.

Becoming him in order to defeat him, just thinking about this possibility made Yue tremble uncontrollably.

"I'm hiding it from you because I don't know how to tell you, don't get me wrong."

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't speak, and didn't know what she was thinking about again, she took the initiative to add a sentence, but Yue lowered her head and smiled slightly.

"If there is no other mind, what is the original mind?"

Xing was stunned for a moment, and did not hurry to speak, but hugged her into the room and poured two glasses of wine that were still a little warm.

"According to my original arrangement, it is indeed time to fulfill the contract. However, it was at this juncture that you appeared. Although I hadn't regained my memory at that time, I had already sensed that you must be inextricably linked with me, so how could I let you stay with the emperor.

But at that time, you had already attracted the attention of the emperor, but my power in Yudu was really limited, and it was really impossible to quietly take you away from under the nose of the emperor, but if you force your move, not only is the chance of winning but also bound to cause a lot of turmoil, so after thinking about it, I can only lure you or the emperor out of Yudu and find another opportunity to start is the best policy.

While I was waiting for the right time, the Emperor sent a message that he intended to let you take over the position of Tianshu. If this news is true, then the next purchase and sale of lifeless buildings, whether it is for Liwei or temptation, he will definitely send you to execute, then I can take this opportunity to lead you to my place.

I know Wushenglou's style of doing things, so I arranged for someone to hand over the two transactions of Chen Yuan and Gu Mingyi. I have long suspected that Gu Mingyi is his person, so he will definitely choose Chen Yuan's business, then I just need to wait for the rabbit in Wuzhou. But I never expected that Mu Qihui, the woman who did not hesitate to betray the northern kingdom in order to take revenge, chose this opportunity, and almost ruined my entire plan.

I thought that Emperor Yi's character would inevitably choose Mu Qihui's deal, but in the end, you still went to Wuzhou, and later I learned that he actually handed over the decision to you, and he didn't object to you making such a choice. ”

Xing stopped when he said this, but Yue showed a puzzled look on his face, he always felt that there was something wrong with Xing Fangcai's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally found the problem.

"Who is Tianshu? I remember never saying that he wanted me to take over the place of Tianshu! ”

Yue originally thought that since Xing knew Tianshu, he must have already known Tianshu's true identity, but when he heard the word Tianshu, his face suddenly changed, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Xing hesitated silently for a long time, but he still couldn't withstand Yue's gaze, but as soon as he spoke, the atmosphere became even heavier.

"Ahem. Tianshu... Actually, it's Yan. ”

Yue's expression froze, as if she didn't expect to hear such a familiar name, but she paused and stopped dwelling on the topic.

"Even if you don't make a move, I'm afraid I'll die sooner or later..."

"I can't take this risk. No matter what happens to you and him, I don't want you to stay with him for a few more moments. ”

"Then what is the purpose of letting Lu Chongguang and Chen Yuan wait in Huaihe? Was it also your deliberate arrangement? ”

"The trip to the Huai River is indeed my arrangement, but this time you overestimated me, I am not so powerful. It was more than ten years ago that the Huaihe Lu Mansion was built, and at that time I was still sleeping under the ice of thousands of miles in the far north, how could I interfere in the affairs here. Although Lu's Silk Village rose in Suzhou, it has opened all over the large and small towns of Suzhou within a few years.

Now that Suzhou has been taken, Chen Yuan then chose the Huai River. At that time, in addition to the wharf in the lower city, the Huaihe City had become a force, but the upper city was still a ruined old city, and there was no scenery today. Chen Yuan took a fancy to its proximity to the Huai River, and he could go everywhere by waterway. In other words, as long as the Huai River can be occupied, it is equivalent to directly doing business anywhere in the Qi Kingdom.

Everyone knows that the Huaihe Salt Gang was carried forward in the hands of Gu Mingyi, but the reason why the Huaihe River was able to become a place of pilgrimage for the merchants of the Qi State Chen Yuan and Lu Chongguang was very great.

It's a pity that the people of Qi know Gu Mingyi, and the people of Huaihe know Lu Chongguang, but no one knows that Chen Yuan, who is hidden behind Lu Chongguang, is the real hero, and no one will associate the current prosperous Huaihe City with the name that has long been buried under the ruins of Chen Mansion in Wuzhou. ”
