A greeting sounded in his ears, and Lu Gong couldn't cope with it at all.

The gods were very excited, and they surrounded Lu Gong like crazy, and some of the newly promoted gods couldn't even squeeze in.

Not far away, Ma Zhongqiu, who was watching this scene, had a smile on his face. "See? Who is the real spiritual pillar of Tianshui? ”

"Hehe......" Qin Qiubo smiled reluctantly, "Your Excellency Lu Gong's reputation in Tianshui is not something that anyone can replace. You see, these gods are really irrational. ”

"Senior Qin, I learned a word from Brother Lu, I couldn't understand it before, but now I understand!"

"What?" Qin Qiubo was curious.

"Brainless powder!" Ma Zhongqiu leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

Qin Qiubo didn't know what he was talking about at all, although he was a little inexplicable, but his heart was sour, and he felt a little envious.

Could it be that I haven't reached my realm yet and can't understand it?

After a full hour, the gods finally quieted down and left the City God Temple under Ma Zhongqiu's arrangement.

They have long since forgotten the crisis, and there is only joy in their eyes.

It wasn't until the gods left that Fu Rui, who was covered in mud in the corner, turned over and sat up from the ground, patted the dirt on his official robe, looked at the few pairs of concerned eyes around him, and said with a wry smile: "Lying down for so long, it's really exhausting me." ”

"Master Fu has worked hard!" Ma Zhongqiu stretched out his hand and pulled Fu Rui up.

Fu Rui shook his head helplessly and sighed, his eyes fell on Lu Gong, and he complained a little: "Your Excellency Lu Gong, the golden armor guard is too ruthless, and that hammer almost smashed my golden body." ”

Lu Gong apologized: "I was negligent, next time I will let them make a little effort." ”

And next time!

Fu Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there will be no next time." ”

He sighed and said, "It seems that I am a little overwhelmed. ”

He thought that he had helped Lu Gong and Ma Zhongqiu, but now that he thought about it, he was a little self-deceived. According to Lu Gong's strength, there is no need for him to do anything more, if he hadn't greeted Lu Gong in advance, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape today.

Thinking of those dozens of golden armor guards, Fu Rui felt his scalp tingle.

"I can't say that, no matter what, I have to thank Master Fu for being on our side." Lu Gongdao.

Speaking of this, Fu Rui was a little helpless. "The new policy of the imperial court has been increased, which is too inhumane. In fact, in the end, I am also for myself. ”

He paused and continued, "Today, Your Majesty can harvest the low-level gods in order to complete those bronze and gold bodies, and tomorrow he will be able to harvest our local city gods for the same purpose. Anyway, to him, we're just tools. The reason why I did this was just to delay the process and buy myself and the other Chenghuang more time. ”

His eyes darkened. "Of course, this is all wishful thinking on my part. Or, the collapse of the entire Shinto was already doomed. ”

"It seems that Master Fu has someone in Beijing." Lu Gong said with a smile.

Lu Gong had already seen that what Fu Rui said was well-founded, not a random guess.

And without a source from the heart of power, he did not dare to make such a bold judgment.

It's just that who is behind Fu Rui?

Could it be that there is still a force in Kyoto that does not want to see the collapse of Shinto?

understood the meaning of Lu Gong's words, but Fu Rui had no desire to continue, so he directly changed the topic and said, "Then what should I do next?" Si Tianjian's side, I must give an answer. ”

"Buy time first!" Lu Gong said directly.

As soon as the words fell, the four City God Lords suddenly appeared in the City God Temple.

The gods were startled, and when they realized that the city gods were no longer enemies, they were finally relieved.

"I see!" Fu Rui looked at the state of the four city gods, and he already knew it in his heart.

"The four city gods and Master Fu jointly reported together, this time they lost hundreds of ghosts, and Si Tianjian should not act impulsively in a short period of time. Seeing Master Fu working so hard, they shouldn't be embarrassed. Lu Gong said.

Fu Rui nodded, and suddenly stared at Lu Gong without smiling, and said with a smile: "Before that, His Excellency Lu Gong has settled everything, and wants to subdue the four of them, right?" ”

Lu Gong didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "That's right, if Tianshui wants to be stable now, he must first solve the problem of Qinzhou." Now that the adults are on our side, as long as the other county yin divisions can be of the same mind, Tianshui will be stable. ”

"Looks like I have no choice!" Fu Rui smiled bitterly.

"Didn't you already make a choice when you sent a letter to Brother Ma?" Lu Gong asked rhetorically.

"Not really!" Fu Rui said directly.

"Does the Lord regret it now?" Lu Gong asked.

Fu Rui shook his head, "Not really, but in the future, I will still try to do my part." Hope you understand. ”

"I understand! It is enough for adults to have this heart. Lu Gong said.

Fu Rui nodded: "It's not early, I should go back." ”

As soon as the words fell, he swept into the air.

Lü Gong also let the four city gods leave.

Qin Qiubo looked at their departing figures, and said with some worry: "It seems that Fu Rui still hasn't made up his mind. ”

"Master Fu is a smart person, sooner or later he will make a choice." Lu Gong said lightly.

He didn't care if Fu Rui was a wall grass or not.

On the contrary, he felt that he was very clever in this way. While being able to please both sides, he can ensure his own interests.

If it sounds good, it is called left and right, and if it is not good, this is also his helpless choice.

"To be honest, I still can't accept it." Yang Jian suddenly laughed.

"Can't accept anything?" Ma Zhongqiu asked curiously.

Yang Jiandao: "You say, are we an uprising?" ”

Ma Zhongqiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It should be counted, right?" However, it seems that I have never heard of it, and Yin Si can also revolt. Generally these are things in the yang world. ”

Qin Qiubo suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "The yang world is almost the same. ”

The gods were slightly shocked, but they saw Qin Qiubo explaining: "This time, the matter of the two villages of Zhuyang has been spreading, and in the past few days, the governor's mansions in various places are vigorously arresting strong men, and men over the age of thirteen are now fleeing and hiding." In the past two days alone, there have been no less than 500 people arrested. ”

"I see, once the Governor's Mansion can't be suppressed, Tianshui will really turn the sky upside down." Qin Qiubo sighed.

Lu Gong listened beside him, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Being able to force the people to this role shows how deep the grievances are.

"We can't control those for the time being, let's think about how to guard against them next." Ma Zhongqiu came to a conclusion and turned his head to look at Lu Gong: "Does Brother Lu have any plans?" ”

"Me, of course, money is the most important thing!" Lu Gong laughed.

The surrounding gods immediately understood and laughed.

Oh, yes! Isn't making money Lu Gong's favorite thing to do?

"Do you have a specific plan?" Ma Zhongqiu asked.

"Only a rough idea!" At that moment, Lu Gong said his thoughts again.

Lu Gong's idea is very simple, now if he wants to be promoted again, the amount of money he needs is already a huge amount, and he only relies on Tianshui County, and he doesn't know that he can only reach it in the Year of the Monkey.

Only by using the entire Qinzhou Mansion can it be done in a short period of time.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Gong tried to subdue the four city gods this time.

As long as most of the City God Temple is controlled, then the worship money of the Yin Division of Qinzhou will have enough space to be controlled.

To promote the fourth-grade merit box, it takes 10 million to offer money, and now the remaining worship money accumulated by Lu Gong is not even 70,000, which can be said to be negligible.

During the time he came back, Lu Gong had also been thinking about this problem.

After seeing Li Zhengliu's strength, Lu Gong knew that he still had a long way to go. The top priority is to improve his strength, and 10 million offering money is completely astronomical for him.

The Yin Division of the entire Tianshui County, all the hundreds of gods combined, could not reach the income of 100,000 yuan in a month, and even if they did not pay taxes, all the worship money was less than one percent of what Lu Gong needed.

Only by relying on the tax revenue of the entire Qinzhou can we make a little wave.

After listening to Lu Gong's narration, Ma Zhongqiu nodded and said, "Relying on the worship money of the entire Qinzhou, you should be able to make up about 10,000 taels of silver within a month, that is, one million worship money." ”

Qin Qiubo thought for a while, and said beside him: "10 million offering money is a lot, but in fact, there is not much to go, and if it is exchanged for silver, it will only be 100,000 taels." Hasn't His Excellency Lu Gong already subdued the four City Gods now? I don't believe that the four of them can't come up with 100,000 taels! ”

Ma Zhongqiu slapped his thigh: "Yes, how did I forget that I can still do this?" ”

Qin Qiubo looked at Lu Gong suspiciously. "I don't know what His Excellency Lu Gong wants to do with so much offering money?"

As soon as his words fell, Yang Jian next to him had already come out to interrupt. "Don't you know? Lu Gong is a money junkie. When it comes to money, the more the merrier. ”

"Anyway, if Lu Gong likes it, let's try to find a way." Bai Gu also helped.

Qin Qiubo realized that he had touched something that he shouldn't ask, and hurriedly laughed awkwardly twice, and said, "Then whatever Your Excellency Lu Gong says, we will do." Let's see if we can make up enough as soon as possible! ”

He touched his chest and said, "I also hid some private money myself, there should be a dozen taels." ”

"It seems that the river god is not rich either." Yang Jian laughed and stretched out his hand to pat, "I contribute one hundred taels." ”

Bai Gu smiled and said, "The money for the offering is of little use to me. I also have more than 100 taels here, all of which were offered by the villagers during this time. ”

The gods each took out their own minds, and in the end they almost took them out, only to find that there were only three hundred taels of poor baba.

"If the tax is not paid for the time being, there will be about two thousand taels here, which is also a drop in the bucket."

Lu Gong was moved in his heart, and when he saw the help of the gods, he did not shirk and directly collected all the worship money.

"Congratulations on successfully receiving 233,380 merit points, and the total merit points are 300100/100000000"

Seeing that everyone had been together for so long, and they could still only increase by one-thirtieth, Lu Gong suddenly sighed in his heart.

This golden finger of my own is really a bit excessive.

If it goes on like this, won't the entire treasury have to be emptied in order to be promoted?

Ma Zhongqiu said apologetically: "No way, that's all we can do." The rest can only rely on Brother Lu himself. ”

"It's okay, I'll go and see how many private collections the four City God Masters have." As soon as the words fell, Lu Gong had already disappeared in place.

Entering the dark space, Lu Gong immediately summoned a city god back.

After a brief inquiry, Lu Gong was overjoyed.

The first Chenghuang directly brought Lu Gong an income of more than 10,000 taels. Lü Gong couldn't wait to summon all the other three city gods in and loot them out.

In just half a day, Lu Gong found that his merit points had exceeded sixty percent of his promotion, and he was only short of 3.5 million offering money.

When I opened the dark space again and returned to the City God Temple, it was already three poles of the sun.

Ma Zhongqiu and Qin Qiubo began to get busy again.

Seeing Lu Gong suddenly appear, Qin Qiubo wanted to speak, but he still didn't dare.

Ma Zhongqiu was direct. "How is it, Brother Lu."

"It's over six, but it's still 35,000 taels." Lu Gong said truthfully.

Qin Qiubo was shocked, but he didn't expect that in less than half a day, Lu Gong had already made more than 60,000 taels of worship money.

Ma Zhongqiu was a little disappointed and said: "It seems that there is still too much difference between the Yin Division and the Yang Division." Thinking about Lin Ruopu and them, it is estimated that one person can come up with a hundred and eighty thousand. ”

"yes. I knew for a long time that I shouldn't have ruined the Taishou Spring, kept the things and took them for ourselves, and now I guess we don't have to worry about money. Lu Gong said with a smile.

"I asked the ghost to count it, and this time we collected more than six hundred pieces of gold body fragments, and the tax will not be paid for the time being anyway. Why don't you find a way to sell it and make up for it? ”

"These golden body fragments, except for the city god and the ghost, who else can buy you?" Lu Gong said with a smile. Now that the ghosts have been killed by Lu Gong, the city god has been hollowed out again, and there is no market for the golden body fragments in Qinzhou.

"Why don't we scavenge for some people's fat and ointment?" Ma Zhongqiu laughed.

Qin Qiubo knew that he was joking, and couldn't help laughing.

Lu Gong said angrily: "You can be a person." ”

"Then you'll have to figure it out on your own." Ma Zhongqiu shrugged his shoulders and buried his head in the pile of papers again.

Lu Gong also knew that he had no choice, but he was already very satisfied to be able to make up so much at one time.

"It's okay, take your time." Lu Gongdao.

Next to him, Yang Jian, who was still relying on him and didn't leave, suddenly jumped down from the altar and winked at him.

Lu Gong was curious: "What is Yang Dashen's idea?" ”

"I mean, you're really an elm pimple." Yang Jian scolded, and then said, "Aren't you very able to subdue these city gods?" Isn't it only Qinzhou that has a city god, and the city god outside is not a city god? ”

Hearing this, Ma Zhongqiu, who had just lowered his head, trembled suddenly, raised his head suddenly, and gave Yang Jian a thumbs up.

"Brother Yang is really a god!" Qin Qiubo sighed.

Yang Jian crossed his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Look! Now you finally know who is the heart of this team, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Gong hurriedly praised.
