Chapter 739: Temptation
After Ji Yuan was crowned the soul master of the Beast Domain, both Qiu Shaocang and Feng Yanming were afraid of him, Feng Yanming was afraid that Ji Yuan would announce the handle in his hand to the world, and Qiu Shaocang was counting on Ji Yuan to contain Feng Yanming to prevent rebellion, so under Ji Yuan's mediation, the two factions of the Beast Domain Emperor and the Sect Master have been at peace, and the Beast Domain has gradually stepped into the right track from the chaos and turmoil. This article was first published by Although Ji Yuan's status in the beast domain is transcendent now, he only does one thing, that is, to visit the major family forces in the beast domain one by one, persuade them to let go of their prejudices against Lu Yifan and promise many benefits and conveniences in the name of Lu Yifan, during which Qiu Shaocang and Feng Yanming helped each other, so Ji Yuan's errand was also smooth, and now the return of the beast domain is just around the corner, and Lu Yifan and Yulou will no longer stay longer, but at the invitation of Mu Dan, they will turn to the spiritual realm.
At noon on the first day of the first month of March, Lu Yifan took Liu Sandao and Yulou to Heishi Town, the border of the spiritual realm, as scheduled, and the princess of the spiritual domain, Mu Dan, is now looking forward to them in the Governor's Mansion of Heishi Town.
Since everyone's identity relationship is different now, the overseer Zheng Qin naturally will not ignore Lu Yifan as before. Today, instead of hiding in the deep mansion and avoiding it, he personally took Mrs. Qi and a group of house slaves to follow Mu Dan to wait for Lu Yifan outside the governor's mansion.
"Princess Mu Dan and Lord Zheng put on such a show, which really flattered us, haha......" Lu Yifan, who was belated, laughed at himself as soon as they met: "Lu is really ashamed." Saying that, Lu Yifan also arched his hand towards Mu Dan, Zheng Qin and others. Seeing this, Zheng Qin, Mrs. Qi and the house slaves returned the salute one after another, but Mu Dan frowned, and complained sourly: "Sect Master Lu is really different from the past, he used to call me by my name, but now he calls me 'Princess Mu Dan', it is really a rich person, and he has a lot of friends with his former friends." ”
Hearing Mu Dan's words, Lu Yifan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he wanted to greet this old friend in a relaxed way, but he didn't expect Mu Dan to be even more polite than him. Lu Yifan reluctantly turned his head to look at Yulou, and said with a wry smile: "Yulou, Her Royal Highness the princess is still as tricky as ever, you have to be careful in the future." ”
The relationship between Yulou and Mu Dan is no secret, and everyone in the Soul Sect knows about it, and Lu Yifan is naturally willing to promote this pair of talented and beautiful people. It's also strange to say, Yulou, who has always been shrewd and calm, became shy and shy when he saw Mu Dan, and he didn't even react to answer under Lu Yifan's ridicule, but just smiled at Lu Yifan with red cheeks.
No matter how Mu Dan said it, it was also a daughter's family, and now when she heard that Lu Yifan actually asked Yulou to be careful in the future, she couldn't help but snort softly, her cheeks flew with a flush, and she glared at Lu Yifan quite annoyedly, and then she didn't dare to tease indiscriminately.
"We have all heard about Sect Master Lu's great display in the Beast Domain, and it is really gratifying to be able to eradicate Dongfang Su and Shan Ling Tian to avenge the disciples of the Soul Sect. Zheng Qin arched his hand and smiled, "Zheng Mou was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor and the princess, and he had prepared a table of thin wine for the three Sect Masters Lu. ”
After that, Zheng Qin, Lu Yifan and the others walked into the governor's mansion in a burst of greetings, while Mrs. Qi, who followed behind, looked back and forth curiously for a long time, as if she was looking for someone.
The fragrance in the hall was overflowing, Lu Yifan, Zheng Qin and others had drunk three rounds of food and five flavors, and they talked happily with each other, just like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Zheng Qin's general Tong Xuanwu accompanied him, Tong Xuanwu was already a reckless man, and now after drinking a few more glasses, he began to be unable to control his mouth, and his speech became more and more open-mouthed, I saw him holding a wine glass and staggering to Lu Yifan's side, and asked with a drunken smile: "Come on, come on, I will toast Sect Master Lu again, the last time Sect Master Lu came to Blackstone Town, he solved the bandit trouble in the Two Realms Forest for us, Tong has always wanted to thank you, this glass of wine is my last thanks." After that, Tong Xuanwu didn't wait for Lu Yifan to answer, so he tilted his head and slowly drank a glass of spirits.
"General Tong's words are serious, the last time to exterminate the bandits of the Two Realms Forest, of course, was the great contribution of Governor Zheng and General Tong, if there was no General Tong to help in time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Sect Master Lu and I to escape from the Two Realms Forest that time. Yulou took the lead in picking up the wine glass and stood up before Lu Yifan, stopped Tong Xuanwu, who was about to reach out and hook up with Lu Yifan, and replied with a smile, "If you talk about gratitude, it should also be our General Xie Tong, and I respect General Xie for this cup." ”
Tong Xuanwu saw that Yulou drank not a single drop of the liquor in the cup, and he clapped his hands unscrupulously. Mu Dan, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said unhappily: "Tong Xuanwu, you drank too much." ”
"Princess, the last general didn't drink too much, and the last general was too happy. Tong Xuanwu said and pressed the tiger body directly to the thin Yulou, Yulou's body was about to fall on the table, but fortunately, Lu Yifan inadvertently reached out and gently pushed, which made Yulou stand up straight again, Tong Xuanwu put his two thick arms on Yulou's body, his head poked over Yulou's shoulder, and smiled at Lu Yifan with a smile: "Sect Master Lu, when I talked about the last time, I had to mention one person, that is Mrs. Zun." There are not many women I admire in my life, Mrs. Qi is one, and Mrs. Lu is definitely one. At that time, Mrs. Lu, a weak woman, dared to enter the Governor's Mansion single-handedly, and was surrounded by many people......"
"Tong Xuanwu, shut up!" Mu Dan was shocked when he heard Tong Xuanwu mention Han Ling'er, and slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table with a "bang", "Teng" stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily at Tong Xuanwu, "You go out for me now to wash my face and sober up." ”
Being scolded by Mu Dan like this, Tong Xuanwu and Zheng Qin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Tong Xuanwu rubbed his big face with his big hand, and asked in a daze: "Princess, I just said that I admired Mrs. Lu, and I didn't say anything disrespectful......
"You still dare to say it!" Mu Dan was so angry that he directly picked up the wine glass on the table and smashed it at Tong Xuanwu who was at a loss on the opposite side. But Lu Yifan took the lead in catching the wine glass, which avoided Tong Xuanwu's disappearance.
After such a fuss, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing, Zheng Qin and his wife didn't know the contradiction between Lu Yifan and Han Ling'er, they only thought that Mu Dan had no feelings for Lu Yifan, so she was so angry when she mentioned Han Ling'er.
"Tong Xuanwu, don't go out to sober up yet. Zheng Qin said coldly to Tong Xuanwu, and Tong Xuanwu, who didn't know why, stuck out his tongue in disdain, and then wanted to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Lu Yifan. Lu Yifan smiled casually: "I have had a little quarrel with Ling'er recently, so Mu Dan is so nervous and worried that it will affect my mood." General Tong can't be blamed for this, and Lu is not the kind of stingy person. ”
Tong didn't know the reason, so he fined three glasses of wine to make amends to Sect Master Lu. Tong Xuanwu also knew how to see the wind and steer, and when he saw this, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and punished himself three times in a row. Seeing Lu Yifan's expression, the hall returned to its previous liveliness.
After toasting each other with a few glasses of wine, everyone had forgotten the episode just now, Tong Xuanwu became more and more drunk, and he couldn't open his eyes. Even so, he still forced himself to Lu Yifan's side, and asked with a seemingly casual smile: "Sect Master Lu wiped out the bandits of the Two Realms Forest last time he came to the Spirit Domain, what new ambitions does he have when he comes to the Spirit Domain this time?"
Yulou's face changed when he heard this, and Liu Sandao, who was sitting on the side drinking, couldn't help but pause after hearing this. On the other hand, Zheng Qin pretended not to realize Tong Xuanwu's nonsense, and still sandwiched dishes with Mrs. Qi.
"I don't know what General Tong is referring to when he talks about the grand cause?" Lu Yifan turned to look at Tong Xuanwu, the smile on his face was still the same, but a pair of dark eyes seemed to penetrate the bottom of Tong Xuanwu's heart, deep and a little scary.
Tong Xuanwu burped a big wine hiccup, and said with a hippie smile: "I have heard about Sect Master Lu's grand cause in the Beast Domain, which caused the death and injury of the Beast Domain royal family, and the Beast Domain Sect Master was difficult to ride a tiger, and finally you also arranged a 'soul master' in the Beast Domain to preside over the overall situation." Tong Xuanwu didn't seem to have enough guts, so when he said this, he turned around and opened a jar of new wine and poured a few sips, making himself even more drunk before he continued to speak, "Sect Master Lu has made the beast domain up and down this time submissive, this is what Tong thinks is a grand cause. ”
"Hmm. Lu Yifan nodded unhurriedly and asked rhetorically, "And then?"
And then ...... Then ......" Tong Xuanwu said several 'thens' in a row, and finally picked up the wine jar and poured a few more sips, before he had the courage to ask vaguely, "Then I want to ask Sect Master Lu if he came to our spiritual domain this time, does he also want to make our spiritual domain as restless as the beast domain?"
"Bang!"
Before Tong Xuanwu's words fell, Liu Sandao slapped his palm on the table, and the dishes, cups and chopsticks on the table trembled three times. Liu Sandao didn't get up, but turned his head faintly and stared at Tong Xuanwu with a hideous gaze like a dead man, and asked faintly: "What did you just say?" Under Liu Sandao's gaze, Tong Xuanwu's back was already soaked unconsciously.
"Sect Master Lu. Without waiting for Tong Xuanwu to answer, Zheng Qin suddenly smiled and said, "My subordinates can't speak, they only know how to talk nonsense, and I hope that Sect Master Lu will not blame." ”
Lu Yifan was not annoyed, and replied easily: "I think General Tong is not talking nonsense, but hitting the nail on the head." However, since Governor Zheng thinks that he can't speak, why don't you say some things yourself?"
Mu Dan looked at Lu Yifan and Zheng Qin, who were staring at each other blankly, and said curiously: "Governor Zheng, what do you mean by this? Sect Master Lu, they are invited by me, and they are also the distinguished guests of my father, how can you be so rude?"
"Don't blame the princess, Zheng is by no means rude to Sect Master Lu, but there are just some things I want to ask clearly. Zheng Qin said to Mu Dan, his attitude was very sincere.
"What do you want to ask?Is it necessary to sing and harmonize with Tong Xuanwu here?" Mu Dan is not a fool, he can naturally see the clue in the scene just now, "Beware that I inform my father of this matter and let him cure your crimes." ”
Seeing that Zheng Qin's face was a little ugly, Yulou hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round and said, "Since it is a casual conversation after tea and dinner, why do you have to be so serious? Yulou said and glanced at Lu Yifan, in fact, Zheng Qin and Tong Xuanwu were just puppets in this matter, and the person who really wanted to ask everything behind his back was exactly the "father" that Mu Dan kept saying. Yulou naturally understood the key point, so he didn't embarrass Mu Dan by piercing this layer of window paper, so he hurriedly came forward to prevaricate.
The Spirit Domain Emperor was worried that he would follow in the footsteps of the Beast Domain Emperor because of Lu Yifan, so it was understandable to ask Lu Yifan's intention first for the sake of thoroughness, but there were some things that he was inconvenient to ask in person, so today's Zheng Qin was just like Qiu Lonely in the past, he was just an intermediary sent by the Emperor, if the situation changed, then he would still have room to turn around in the future, and at this point, Qiu Cheng of the Beast Domain had made an excellent precedent.
Lu Yifan naturally understood Yulou Gu Quan Mu Dan's thoughts, so he also nodded with a smile and said: "Governor Zheng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Lu must know everything." ”
"Okay!" Zheng Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked bluntly, "I want to ask Sect Master Lu if he came to the Spirit Domain this time to take revenge?"
"Yes. Lu Yifan's answer was simple and direct.
"In order to seek revenge on the Three Holy Mountains who participated in the fight against the Soul Sect in the past?"
"Yes. ”
"What else?" Zheng Qin finally asked the key to the matter, "In addition to seeking revenge from the Three Holy Mountains, does Sect Master Lu have any other thoughts about my Spirit Domain?" such as ......" Zheng Qin hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to say the most important sentence, "For example, arrange a so-called Soul Master in my Spirit Domain?"
As soon as Zheng Qin's words came out, Mu Dan's anxious gaze began to become a little solemn, and she looked at Lu Yifan with a complicated face, and her heart was in turmoil at the moment.
Lu Yifan squinted his eyes and looked at Zheng Qin, and after a long silence in the hall, Lu Yifan took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "If necessary, I do have this plan." ”
"Hiss!" As soon as Lu Yifan said this, Mrs. Qi, Tong Xuanwu and the other Black Stone Town generals who were sitting with him all gasped, and Mu Dan's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Zheng Qin was the only one with a look in his eyes, but he still relied on his strong willpower to not show the emotions in his heart, Zheng Qin's hand clutched the wine glass, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked faintly: "Does Sect Master Lu know what you are doing now in Zheng's eyes?"
"I want to hear about it. Lu Yifan said unhurriedly.
"It is understandable for Sect Master Lu to unify the Sacred Domain, and then arrange for a Soul Lord to override the Beast Domain, which is tantamount to usurping the power of the Beast Domain. Zheng Qin said word by word, "Now that you want to set up a soul master in the spirit realm, Zheng has to wonder if Sect Master Lu already has the heart to unify the five domains. ”
Facing Zheng Qin's questioning, Lu Yifan did not rush to answer, but silently watched Zheng Qin as if waiting for him to continue.
"What Sect Master Lu did today and what Su Xie did that day...... What's the difference?" Zheng Qin asked in a deep voice, "It's just that Su Xie's methods are more ruthless, while Sect Master Lu's methods are more vicious. Although the Tao is different, your ultimate goal is the same. ”
"Governor Zheng never knew what Lu wanted to do, and why did he think that I was no different from Su Xie?" Lu Yifan smiled instead of anger, and said lightly, "I also have something unknown and want to ask Supervisor Zheng." ”
"Sect Master Lu, please speak. ”
"I want to ask Lord Zheng, what is Lu in the Spirit Domain?" Lu Yifan asked.
"What's it?" Zheng Qin didn't quite understand Lu Yifan's intentions, "Sect Master Lu is a friend of His Majesty the Emperor......
Lu Yifan shook his head and said, "Not only that, Lu is also a disciple of Mu Ziyang's predecessors. Today's Spirit Mirror Valley Lord is the former Spirit Realm Sect Master. I am looking for the Three Holy Mountains to naturally regain what once belonged to me, if Lord Zheng thinks that arranging a soul master is the ambition of a wolf, then it is better for Lu to continue to be the sect leader of the Spirit Domain, what is Zheng Du's idea?"
