Chapter 187: The Hero's Invitation to the Banquet Straight to the point
Mu Lingfeng subconsciously blurted out, "That's because Pu Zhen and Erma made a deal privately!" β
"Oh, the deal? I see. β
Lu An nodded with a look of sudden realization.
But in fact, how would he know what the deal was between Erma and Pu Zhen?
Of course, at least for now, he wasn't interested in knowing.
"Then what's going on between you and Pu Zhen?" Lu An added, "You said before that Pu Zhen is your subordinate, but I can see that this is not the case. β
Sure enough, after opening the gap, Mu Lingfeng no longer resisted Lu An's questioning.
After only a little hesitation, Mu Lingfeng replied, "Actually...... The concubine is just helping to pass the word for her father, helping Pu Zhen and the city lord of Chu to contact her occasionally......"
As soon as the two of them chatted here, they heard footsteps outside.
"Young master, someone from the city lord's mansion is here, please invite the young master to the mansion for a banquet."
When Lu An heard this, he helped Mu Lingfeng up, and the two walked out of the door hand in hand.
"Butler, go and invite Miss Lu to come over, and let's go to the City Lord's Mansion together."
"Yes."
Lu An held Mu Lingfeng's hand, and the two walked out side by side.
"Lingfeng, from now on, there can be no more estrangement between our husband and wife, okay?"
"Hmm."
"If there is anything in the future, don't hide it from me anymore."
"Hmm."
"Even if something really happens, let's discuss it and solve it together, okay?"
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
After untying the knot between the two, Mu Lingfeng was well-behaved and distressing.
Lu An also wisely did not continue to ask.
It's still a long time.
As long as he and Mu Lingfeng are integrated, the doubts in his heart will be resolved one by one sooner or later!
However, the information revealed by Mu Lingfeng just now still made him feel more and more uneasy.
Pu Zhen is actually the same as Chu Yin!
In this case, judging from the current chaos in the Central Plains, if Pu Zhen and Chu Yin echo each other, they may not be able to replace Great Xia and change the world!
What worries him the most is that the old man is actually colluding with people like Chu Yin, and he has always been the biggest financier behind Chu Yin and Pu Zhen!
What does the old man want to do?
Tired of living a good life, looking for death?
Even so, don't pull him up, okay!
Rebellion, is this thing so easy to touch?
If you're not careful, you're going to lose your head!
It's like two years ago, he just molested the Lord of Phantom Cloud on the street (except for the factors that Liang Hu designed to frame him), and he almost ruined his family.
Isn't such a profound lesson enough!
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Lu An found that even Lu Yuyan was trembling, obviously like him, afraid of being implicated by someone like Chu Yin!
It's a pity that he has now arrived in Jiankang City and to Chuyin's territory.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
As for bringing Lu Yuyan over, on the one hand, it is to show her heart to this rare partner and make her feel at ease.
After all, he and Lu Yuyan just want to do business with peace of mind, and they don't want to be involved in the rebellion that may lose their heads at any time.
On the other hand, it is because Lu Yuyan has always been delicate and cautious, and maybe she can help her mention it afterwards.
As for Mu Lingfeng-
Lu An could only shake his head secretly.
He could see that this girl regarded Old Man Mu's words as a holy decree, and completely obeyed and obeyed them.
Even if it is sold in the future, it will not frown.
If it weren't for his affectionate guidance, maybe she wouldn't have revealed anything to him about the previous events.
Anyway, the two are now husband and wife, and Mu Lingfeng can be regarded as obedient to him, saying that he can't let Chu Yin and the others be gunmen, and sooner or later he will rescue her.
There's a long way to go......
In the city lord's mansion, Lu An observed around as he walked.
To say that Chu Yin is really good to him.
This city lord's mansion is about the same size as his mansion, but the decoration inside is far less luxurious than his mansion, and there are not many servants except soldiers.
However, in his opinion, this is completely a means for Chu Yin to win people's hearts, and it can be regarded as a reward for Lu Mancang, a big financier.
Otherwise, how could he, a nobody, deserve Chu Yin's attention so much, and even personally bring people outside the city to greet him?
Now, there is actually a reception banquet, which is nothing more than a faΓ§ade work.
With this kind of thought, Lu An naturally raised his vigilance against the so-called reception banquet he was about to face.
If it weren't for his own old man and father-in-law, he would rather not have the big mansion that Chu Yin gave him!
Later, I can only take one step at a time, hoping to bring the two old men out of Chu Yin's fire pit.
As long as you take your family away from Jiankang and away from the danger of killing your head, the world is big, where can you go?
If it really doesn't work, I will take my family to the Western Regions and live a carefree life!
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Yin specially prepared a sumptuous banquet.
There are not many people.
When Lu An arrived, there were only five people sitting at the wine table.
In addition to Chu Yin, Lu Mancang and Mu Cun, there were also two chubby little boys of eleven or twelve.
Seeing that Lu An and the others had arrived, Chu Yin and the others immediately got up.
"Come on, come on, nephew, come and sit here."
Chu Yin greeted with a smile and deliberately looked at the two girls beside Lu An.
The same is true for Lu Mancang and Mu Village.
Especially when they saw the picture of Lu An and Mu Lingfeng holding hands, the two old men showed a satisfied smile in their eyes.
It's just that when I saw Lu Yuyan, I was a little surprised.
Lu An took the two daughters to the wine table, "Uncle Chu, this is a friend of the little nephew and a good partner in business, Miss Lu Yuyan."
Miss Lu has always been very helpful to her little nephew, and she took the liberty to go with her, and I hope Uncle Chu will forgive me for the abrupt place. β
With Lu An's introduction, Lu Yuyan, who was used to seeing big scenes, was also much more natural, and said with a deep salute, "Concubine Lu Yuyan, I have seen the Lord of Chu City, Uncle Lu, and Uncle Mu." β
Lu Mancang and Mu Cun had seen Lu Yuyan as early as the capital, and they were no strangers to her, and they also knew that she and Lu An were business friends, so it was naturally not surprising.
Chu Yin snorted, "Hehe, since you are a friend of your nephew, you are not an outsider, Miss Lu, please take a seat." β
After everyone sat down, Chu Yin introduced the two little boys next to him, "Virtuous nephew, these are the two dogs Xu'er and Bing'er.
Xu'er, Bing'er, say hello to your brother and sister-in-law. β
The two little fat men were obedient and gave their hands in a decent manner.
How dare Lu An be big, he hurriedly returned the salute, and praised it by the way, "The tiger father has no dogs, and Uncle Chu's two little sons are handsome, and he will become a big man one day." "
"Haha-"
Chu Yin laughed and waved his hand, "Ming people don't say secret words, what kind of virtue do these two unsuccessful boys have, Chu knows in his heart, and the virtuous nephew doesn't have to put gold on their faces." β
"On the contrary, it is a virtuous nephew."
"Chu heard Brother Lu mention it a few years ago, Brother Lu has been busy running a business, but he has not relaxed his teaching to his virtuous nephew."
"At a young age, he relied on himself to run Duxiufang, and Chu was envious."
"Over the years, Chu has seen that the people of Jiangnan are living in dire straits under the oppression of the imperial court, and he is not angry in his heart, so he intends to ask for his life for the people."
"Otherwise, Chu really wants to be like Brother Lu and devote himself to taking care of the family business, so that the children can live a carefree life in the future."
Here it comes!
Lu An never expected that the hero in front of him would go directly to the topic of rebellion in a few words!
