Chapter 515: The Gift of Peach and Plum
Wu Gen was full of spring breeze, talked and laughed with Lu Fengxi, and walked out of the door of the Lu family.
"Steward Lu, then I will leave, if it weren't for your constant mention of this meeting, I can't say if I can see the head of the family." Wu Yan grabbed Lu Fengxi's arm and said sincerely.
"Wu Qianhu, you are really a little too polite. The head of the family has always liked things of the human race, and the dragon pattern stone you sent this time happened to be liked by his old man, so he was naturally happy. But more importantly, Wu Qianhu can fight well, lead troops well, have many strategies, and know how to advance and retreat, so that he can enter the eyes of the head of the family. I have received so many rewards this time, and I think it will be of great use in the future. Here, the old slave congratulates Qianhu first, no, it should be the lord of Wu. Lu Fengxi smiled and congratulated Wu Jian again and again.
"Where, if it weren't for the stewardship, how could Wu Gen and the human race be able to gain power so quickly." Wu Gan flipped his hand, and there were already five more thorn jade coins in his hand, which were easily stuffed into Lu Fengxi's sleeve.
"The lord of the city is polite." Lu Fengxi's face did not change, he looked around and said in a low voice: "The head of the Fang Cai family intends to reward you with the women in the clan, although it is a distant branch, but after all, it is also surnamed Lu, but why don't you take advantage of the situation." You know, after all, you are a human race, and you are naturally not tolerated by the shepherds, even if you can fight again, what should you do, and you will die for a city lord. But if it is married to the Lu family, with this relationship as a guarantee, it may not be possible to go to a higher level in the future. Wu Jian knew that his five thorn jade coins had an effect, and this old thing finally told him the truth, but there was a wry smile on his face,
"Brother Lu, it's not that I don't want it, I really don't dare to ask for it. I ran here after committing an accident in Beizhou, and I still have a wife at home, and after two years of limelight, I will definitely have to return, and this person can't take it away. If you marry Lu Jiaqing'e, whether you leave or not when the time comes, take it back, the wife in the family is jealous, and it is strange if you don't fight. Therefore, I could only pretend to be stupid and refuse the kindness of the head of the family. ”
"Alas, it is a pity, if only you were a shepherd, you would not be able to do the job of pacifying in the future." Lu Fengxi shook his head again and again.
Wu Jian let go of the other party and bowed,
"I'll leave here today, I'll bother my brother more when I'm free, let's have a good drink then."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the coming day is long, and I wish Wu Qianhu a long journey." Lu Fengxi looked at Wu Yan with a smile and quietly touched the thorn jade coin in his sleeve.
Saying goodbye to Lu Fengxi, as soon as Wu Qian got into the carriage, his face quickly became gloomy. This time I entered Maojing City, but I took the path of Lu Fengxi, thinking that it was to meet Lu Zhan, the head of the Lu family.
After communicating with Lu Fengxi, he learned that Lu Zhan was a dragon-shaped thing, and he didn't have time to prepare for a while, and Wu Gan was stingy, so he was reluctant to buy anything valuable, so he sent Niu Chao to find a dragon-shaped stone in the river at will, and sent it in.
When he saw Lu Zhan, Wu Gen made up some words, bluntly saying that he saw the glorious masterpiece in the river on the road, and when he saw this strange stone in the water, he felt that his virtue was thin, and he did not dare to do it privately, so he sent it to the head of the family.
When Lu Zhan saw this stone, he liked it too, and ordered his subordinates to put it in his study. It is said that with his identity, what kind of treasure has not been seen, and it can be put in the study to play, which shows that he really likes it.
Therefore, the matter of giving gifts is not expensive but in the heart. That is, a close person like Lu Fengxi only knew what the master family liked, so after Wu Yan came out, he gave some spiritual jade coins to the other party.
When he saw Lu Zhan, Wu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Originally, he suspected that one of the two people he met in Lushan that day was Lu Zhan, but he didn't want to.
Lu Zhan is an old man with gray hair, and his physique is like Lu Lie, and he is very burly. Compared with Lu Lie's youthfulness, Lu Zhan is more domineering and aggressive.
Is such a person willing to live under others? Maybe Wu Gan was given a gift, but for Wu Gan, Lu Zhan was quite enthusiastic, and there was a lot of meaning in his words.
After inquiring about the recent situation of some dreadnoughts, Wu Gen told the truth one by one, and there was no need to hide this matter, and he couldn't hide it.
Knowing that Wu Gan had 2,500 men and horses through the whole army, Lu Zhan was also quite surprised, and he was able to form such a team in such a short period of time, which shows Wu Gan's ability.
In addition to being happy, Lu Zhan specially rewarded the dreadnought army with a large sum of money, and allocated another 3,000 armor and weapons, so that it could be expanded to 3,000 people as soon as possible.
At the same time, Lu Zhan ordered Wu Gen to send troops to inspect the southern part of Panshi Road, and at the same time send people to reconnoiter the terrain and manpower configuration of Jiangguan Road adjacent to Panshi Road, so as to be fully prepared.
As for what to deal with, Lu Zhan did not say it explicitly. In addition, Lu Zhan secretly ordered Wu Jian to cooperate with Lu Peng to secretly exterminate the Jing family, a small family in the east of Panshi Road.
When Wu Gan asked if he would leave one or two cities as he did with the Meng family, Lu Zhan asked that none of them should be left behind, all of them would be in the hands of the Lu family, and all the consequences would be borne by him.
And promised that if the situation in the Tieshou Province improves in the future, Wu Gen can serve as the city lord.
Among them, there is one that Wu Gen is quite interested in, the human race who enters this city, the herdsman is not allowed to capture it at will, and he can also establish his own army, which means that the human race has a relatively independent and safe gathering place.
I have to say that Lu Zhan's move was really magnificent, and he sent a big city to Wu Gan, also considering the large number of fearless soldiers, which is much more bold than the Ji family.
Wu Yan secretly thought in his heart, if it wasn't for Ji Ye, who first met him, he couldn't say that he would have turned around and really joined the Lu family.
How many people can be sheltered in a city, and how many lives of the human race can be saved. In addition, it can levy taxes on the surrounding areas and enjoy the same power as other big cities, in a sense, it can be described as a country within a country.
Such a heavy reward really pointed to Wu Gan's heart, so that he actually had nothing to say, so he had to thank Lu Zhan again and again for his kindness, and he would definitely serve the Lu family desperately.
The things were in place, and the conversation between the two became more and more hot, but Lu Zhan changed his mind and asked about the Xingshan Yihu Army, which made Wu Gan's heart suddenly vigilant.
After listening to the other party's reason, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Lu Zhan also wanted to form a Yihu army, and asked about the possibility of poaching the people from Xingshan.
Wu Jian had to tell the other party that the Ji family, the person who built the shuttle, would not let it go, but if there was a bird, he could help train him, and elaborated on the strength of the Yihu army.
Lu Zhan was also quite moved when he heard this, he was originally a resolute person, and immediately asked Lu Fengxi to collect the pawns of the Lu family and the small families under his jurisdiction, and concentrate them on Wu Gan to form the Righteous Eagle Army.
On weekdays, these birds are only used by various families for reconnaissance and messenger delivery, and have never been used as a main combat force. However, Lu Zhan did not hand over all the Yihu army to Wu Gan, but still sent a commander, which was the capital of the Ten Thousand Households.
This person's name is Lu Yuan, who was originally Lu Zhan's nephew, because his father died early, he was taken in and kept in the house, and he was raised as his own son on weekdays, and Lu Zhan trusted him very much.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan was not in the mansion today, and when Wu Yuan left, he would report with him. In the end, Lu Zhan vaguely inquired about Wu Gan's marriage, and suggested that there were still several juniors in the clan who were unmarried, but the latter pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not give a positive answer.
Lu Zhan knew that Wu Yan didn't want to be arranged for marriage, so he didn't say much, and he made a mistake as soon as the conversation changed.
When Wu Gen said goodbye, Lu Zhan sent his most trusted steward Lu Fengxi to the door in person, which also gave Wu Gen enough face.
The carriage walked on the streets of Maojing City, but it went directly to the east of the city and stopped in front of a large mansion.
Wu Yan got out of the carriage, nodded at the guard at the door, and walked in. This is Ye Ziming's mansion in Maojing City, which was given by his good friend, that is, the daughter of Zhenfu, and it didn't cost Wu Qian a penny.
When they entered the main hall, Ye Ziming, Zhuo Ke and Niu Chao were all waiting here, and when they saw Wu Gan, they quickly got up and asked, "How is it, what does the head of the Lu family have to say?" Wu Gen motioned for everyone to sit down and told the story of the meeting.
"In this way, this Lu Zhan is generous. Wu Gan, what do you think of this person? After listening to Wu Gan's narration, Ye Ziming took the lead in speaking.
Wu Yan looked up at the roof, and said quietly for a while: "This person is very generous, strong and has means, quite a master, but the edge is a little too much, and he is a little stubborn." To be honest, I haven't seen Ji Xin, but when I see it today, I feel that Lu Zhan is not a person who can't do anything. Ye Ziming smiled slightly, and his fingers gently drew circles on the table beside him,
"Indeed, because of Lu Lie, I originally thought that the Lu family was rude and violent, but when I arrived in Maojing City, I found out that the Lu family was not entirely like this. If they are in charge of the province of the Iron Hand, it is not a bad thing. Wu Gan, how should you decide about our affairs? Wu Yan sat up, grabbed the towel next to him and wiped his face,
"There's no choice, just follow the way you go. Just imagine that these families have been able to stand in Kuntianzhou for so many years, which one is a mediocre generation, and there are many heroes among them. If we are wrong, we can only blame the different paths we have chosen, and someone will eventually need to sacrifice to the side of the road. Whoever stands in our way can only crush him mercilessly. Ye Ziming's expression was a little depressed, and after a moment of silence, Fang said, "Wu Gan, Qiyin wants to see you." ”
"Who, Seven Tones? But that man. Wu Yan raised his head and said in surprise.
"yes, can we both talk about it alone?" Ye Ziming's eyes showed a hint of uneasiness, and he glanced up at Zhuo Ke and Niu Chao.
Wu Gen frowned, and took a deep look at Ye Ziming,
"Zhuok, take Niu Chao out, don't let him eavesdrop."
"Yes, Lord." Zhuo Ke put his arms around Niu Chao's neck and dragged him out. There was no one else in the hall, Wu Gen silently stared at the direction of the door,
"There's no one else here, you can say it." Before the other party could speak, Wu Yan said hurriedly: "If you want to leave, let's get together and disperse, brother, I won't stop you, let alone blame you, just don't hurt your family for a woman." "Xiang Qi's death is still a knot in Wu Gan's heart.
He never forgot the pleading eyes of Xiang Qi before he died, if Ye Ziming had other ideas, Wu Gan felt that it was better to speak clearly and honestly, so as not to embarrass each other.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ziming lowered his head,
"I like her, but I don't want to leave the Dreadnoughts either." Wu Yan thought about it, reached out and patted Ye Ziming's arm,
"I really like it, it's still that kind of dewy relationship."
"Really, the kind I like from the bottom of my heart." Ye Ziming raised his head, his face was a little painful,
"I know it's not right, sorry brothers."
"What's wrong with this, don't worry, it's too late for the brothers to be happy. By the way, didn't you say that Qiyin wanted to see me, where, when. Wu Gen smiled and comforted Ye Ziming.
"Today, right here, she's in the backyard."
