"Brother Lu? Why did you come here?" He Xun said with the same surprise on his face.

The butler replied to He Xun, "Twelfth Master, Grandpa Lu is a distinguished guest invited by the Duke of the Kingdom."

"Then you get busy first, I'll wait for you at the gluttonous hot pot later." He Xun smiled and left.

Lu Qian nodded and saw that He Xun was gone, and asked the housekeeper with some puzzlement. "Old man, why do you call He Xun the Twelfth Master?"

"Mr. Lu, aren't you familiar with the Twelfth Master?" The butler said with some confusion.

"We met in the palace... However, he did not say anything about his background. I didn't ask." Lu Qian said truthfully.

Seeing Lu Qian say this, the housekeeper smiled faintly and said, "Since Mr. Lu doesn't know, then the old body doesn't talk much, it's better for you to ask the Twelfth Master in person."

Seeing that the housekeeper said this, Lu Qian nodded and stopped asking.

I followed the housekeeper and went in, and found that there was a hole in the courtyard inside.

There is even a huge artificial lake.

There is also a pavilion built in the middle of the lake.

In the pavilion, an old man sits in it.

Lu Qian thought to himself, and he was not afraid of the cold.

When I got closer, I was a little surprised.

It was very warm in the pavilion, although there was no fence around it.

However, because of the coals around it, it is very warm.

And the old man in the pavilion was snoring with his head down.

"Sir, your guest has arrived." The butler said softly.

Cheng Guogong slowly raised his head.

Cheng Guogong has a resolute face, and it can be seen from the giant between his eyebrows that he was still quite handsome when he was young, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

Lu Qian arched his hand and said, "I've seen Lord Guogong."

"Lu Xiaoyou is here... Come... Sit... Sit..."Cheng Guogong smiled and beckoned to Lu Qian, who was in front of him, but he was full of kindness.

Lu Qian smiled and nodded, and sat cross-legged in front of Cheng Guogong.

Just look at each other.

Concubine Xi and Chengguo Gong are really very similar.

But when others say that this is a strange old man, they don't see it at all.

"Lu Xiaoyou, do you know what I am looking for you this time?" Cheng Guogong began to fiddle with the tea set as he spoke, and asked.

"I don't know, little one..."

Lu Qian was very humble.

After all, Cheng Guogong was a great killing god in Great Xia at the beginning.

People just show kindness.

The strange old man rumored outside is definitely not groundless.

While cooking tea, Cheng Guogong said lightly to Lu Qian, "I, I have six children in my life, and four have died. The fifth child is now stationed at the border for Great Xia, and there is only one daughter around him, Fengxi."

Lu Qian was a little confused by Cheng Guogong's headless words.

Although he didn't know what he wanted to say, he still continued, "This time, I will also have more help from Cheng Guogong... The Shadow Guardians were sent to help."

Cheng Guogong smiled and handed the cup of tea in his hand to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian bowed down to take it, and he really couldn't see what this old man wanted to do, so he drank it.

Cheng Guogong continued, "Feng Xi told me that you slept with her."

Lu Qian Cheng Guogong said.

Choked on a sip of tea and coughed violently.

"Lu Xiaoyou, don't panic... I'm not a pedantic old man. I'm just such a heart, I will follow him whatever she likes. As long as you are good to her and can make her happy, I have no problem."

Lu Qian couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Concubine Xi's prodigal hoof, why do you say everything.

It seems that this Cheng Guogong called himself this time to beat himself.

He also hurriedly said, "Lord Chengguo, I will be good to her."

"Haha, don't be nervous. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren! That's not what I'm talking to you about today

Love." Cheng Guogong said lightly.

Lu Qian thought to himself, this old fox didn't get to the point for a long time.

didn't pick up the stubble, just looked at him like that.

"Let you come over this time, I'm here to do business with you..." Cheng Guogong said lightly.

After Lu Qian heard Cheng Guogong's words, he said with a hint of doubt, "Do business?"

Could it be that he also fell in love with his own hot pot restaurant?

It shouldn't be...

"That's right." Cheng Guogong didn't hide it this time.

He took out a musket from under the table and placed it on the table.

It was the one that Lu Qian gave to Nie Bing.

"I want to make a deal with you, I need a thousand of these weapons... Let's just make an offer."

Cheng Guogong didn't sell Guanzi this time, and said straight to the point.

Lu Qian can be regarded as understanding, he is really an old fox...

He laid down so much just now just to tell Lu Qian.

He already knew Lu Qian's secret, and he could handle him at any time.

So that Lu Qian had no way to refuse.

"Lord Chengguo, if you like it, I can give it to you." Lu Qian originally wanted to let these firearms circulate before he had absolute strength.

But at the moment, it seems that there is no way to refuse.

Cheng Guogong smiled faintly, and his voice was a little threatening, "Lu Xiaoyou, you don't seem to understand. What I need is a thousand of these weapons. We're kind of a family now, so you won't say no."

"Lord Chengguo, this is natural! However, you should know the value of this thing, what price can you get?" Lu Qian saw that he couldn't refuse, so he simply talked about it and made a fortune for him.

"One hundred taels and one handfuls, and one thousand handfuls are one hundred thousand taels!" Cheng Guogong is also refreshing.

After hearing his words, Lu Qian was indeed moved.

It's still the arms business to make money.

"May I ask, what do you want so many guns, Lord Kokuto? After all, your Shadow Guardians don't need that much." Lu Qian asked.

The price is really good, if you have this 100,000 taels.

Then, many of his ideas can be put into practice.

So let's ask about the use.

Cheng Guogong's eyes suddenly deepened, and then he said, "Outsiders only know that my shadow escort team only has a hundred people, but no one knows. Cultivating shadows is what we have been doing for generations, not to mention a hundred years!"

Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he heard this, and even began to regret asking this question.

"As long as I want! You can organize a shadow army anytime, anywhere. So, 1,000 is just the beginning, and I'll have more to do in the future." Cheng Guogong used the most bland sentences and said the most arrogant and right words.

"Then deal! Happy cooperation!" Lu Qian was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't want to listen to more secrets, so he interrupted.

Know that the more you know, the faster you die!

Cheng Guogong saw him agree and beckoned.

The butler took out a wooden box and walked out.

"There's a hundred thousand taels in it." Cheng Guogong asked.

"There's no rush for that money!" Lu Qian smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.

Cheng Guogong smiled and said, "Don't be polite to me. Crafting these artifacts requires a workshop. You don't have anything right now, you need money. I'm not afraid of you running. After all, I want people to die, and no one can leave Kyoto alive!"

The best emperor
