Chapter 221: City Lord Ji
Team Zhang, Zhao Huaidan and others already knew that there should be no fake when Sun Ren blurted out that 'Lu Ye became the king', so after hearing Lu Ye's words, they were not surprised, and there was still a sense of surprise on their faces.
The thought that the pattern of Iwatani Castle would change drastically after today, the expressions on their faces became extremely complicated.
And hearing Lu Ye's personal confirmation, Fu Bo's eyes were blurred for a while, he was watching the Lu family develop from scratch to the present old man, from the initial obscurity, but later showed his edge to gain a firm foothold, and then to the rapid development under the strong pressure from the three major families over the years, one picture after another flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but cry for a while.
Mu Feng'er's right foot, which had just been raised, suddenly froze in the air, and Wu Yu looked at Lu Ye in surprise, suddenly feeling that things had become interesting.
Qian and Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and they subconsciously cast questioning glances at Qian Kai and Zhao Dongxi.
What's going on, didn't you say that Mu Feng'er was the king?
Qian Kai and Zhao Dongxi looked at each other, of course they knew that the king in Sun Ren's mouth was Mu Feng'er, but they didn't expect to accidentally deceive Lu Ye into becoming the king.
Although knowing this news is conducive to their three major families to take precautions as soon as possible, but in the current situation, if Lu Ye ruthlessly kills the three family masters, it will be fatal to their three major families - although the possibility of such a result is very small, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
"Huh?"
Sun Ren looked at Lu Ye and then at Mu Feng'er, only to feel that his brain was dazed for a while, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Is this, actually...... I'm not talking about ......"
This idiot!
The head of the Sun family now hates to slap him to death just now, but anyone with a little brain knows that this kind of thing should be held in the stomach, and after going back, how can he say it in public, and in front of Lu Ye, isn't it boring.
"Master Lu, have you done a good job of secrecy, there is no news at all about such a big thing as the achievement of the king, if you can know it earlier, my Sun family will definitely have to prepare a congratulatory gift and come to the door to congratulate."
After a quick calculation in his heart, the head of the Sun family reacted quickly, and immediately put on a smiling face: "But it's not too late to know now, when I go back, I will order someone...... No, I will personally prepare a congratulatory gift to celebrate the achievement of the Lu family master as a king. ”
No one would have imagined that the head of the Sun family, who was still arrogant and wanton when he first appeared, would put on such a humble posture at this moment, which makes people have to sigh again, this is really a world where the strong are respected.
Qian Kai and Zhao Dongxi secretly despised in their hearts: Just now they said that we were cowardly, and now we have become cowards.
Of course, they understood the Sun family master's approach very well, and they were just dissatisfied with the belittlement of the two of them when the Sun family master first appeared.
While they were slandering, the head of the Qian family followed with a smile and said: "Since the battle of Black Dragon Mountain back then, no one in Rock Valley City has been successfully promoted to the king for thirteen years, the fact that the Lu family master has achieved the king is of great significance, and you are now a well-deserved number one powerhouse in Rock Valley City, in this matter, my Qian family must definitely prepare a big gift to congratulate the Lu family master on his amazing achievements." ”
The Zhao family master forcibly squeezed out a smile and echoed: "That is, the Lu family master has become the king, but the biggest joy of our Rock Valley City, especially in the critical period of the king-level demon life, is really timely rain, so it is reasonable for my Zhao family to send a congratulatory gift." ”
The three heads of the family showed their goodwill without skin and face, which opened everyone's eyes, and they deserved to be the three people who could sit on the position of the heads of the three major families, and they could bend and stretch, which was admirable.
Lu Ye's expression was as indifferent as ever, of course he knew that the so-called congratulations of the three people were only forced by the situation, not out of sincerity.
And he has already seen that the king that Sun Ren just referred to is not himself, but since the achievement of the king has been exposed, he will not be soft-hearted because of the weakness of the three people, although he will not kill the three on the spot, but the suppression that should be there is indispensable.
At least he can take this opportunity to firmly grasp some of the industries and resources that the Lu family is competing with the three major families recently.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of neat and powerful footsteps in the distant street.
Two groups of men and horses galloped forward, forming two columns in front of everyone, and then a carriage with the emblem of Iwatani Castle and the logo of the Castle Lord's Mansion stopped between the two teams.
The three heads of the family were relieved, as if they had seen a savior and quickly greeted them.
Lu Ye frowned slightly, and also walked over.
The curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a majestic demeanor walked down slowly.
"Lord of the Castle."
Members of the Enforcement Team and the Patrol Team salute in unison.
"City Lord Ji."
"Brother Ji."
The three family heads and Lu Ye bowed slightly.
"No need to be polite, I'm just passing through here."
City Lord Ji said this, but looking at this posture, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was definitely not passing by.
His gaze swept over the people present: "The four heads of the family are here, it's so lively today, what do you want to do?" ”
"Actually, we were also passing by here, and we happened to hear that the law enforcement team was arresting several important criminals who were said to be related to the demon last night, and I thought that the matter of the demon was very important, so I came over to take a look."
The head of the Qian family's eyes moved slightly, and said with a smile: "But now it seems that the evidence for this matter is not sufficient, it should be just a misunderstanding." ”
"Really?"
Before coming, City Lord Ji had already learned about the wanted warrant, knew that these four people were friends with Lu Ren, and knew that Zhao Huaidan had framed them for some reason, but as the City Lord of Rock Valley City, his experience, cognition, and methods were by no means ordinary, so he didn't make a conclusion before he figured out the matter.
The head of the Qian family deliberately showed excitement and joy: "Specifically, we can slowly verify it, just now we learned a great piece of good news." ”
City Lord Ji was surprised by his demeanor: "Oh? What's the news? ”
Before the head of the Qian family could speak, Lu Ye took the lead and said, "Brother Ji, I broke through." ”
City Lord Ji was obviously stunned for a moment, and his brows moved a little closer to the middle: "You mean ......?"
"I'm king."
Lu Ye said calmly, he knew that the Qian family lord had bad intentions and wanted to use this to drive a wedge between himself and the Ji City Lord, although this matter would definitely make the Ji City Lord's attitude towards himself and the Lu family change, but it was more acceptable for the Ji City Lord to say this matter by himself than to say it from the mouth of the Qian family master.
"Hahaha, that's a good thing."
City Lord Ji cleverly concealed the change in his expression by laughing: "But Brother Lu, when did you break through, such a big happy event, why didn't you notify me in advance?" You're a little unkind. ”
