Lu Ping'an promised Lu Linglong to accompany her more, and he was really not in a hurry to go back to the inn tonight, so he decided to continue to stay at the Lu family and accompany Lu Linglong for a while.

However, if it is already night today, it is inconvenient for Lu Ping'an to appear in front of others, so he can't take Lu Linglong outside to play, so he can only tell her stories in the room.

Fortunately, Lu Linglong was very interested in Lu Ping'an's things, and she listened to them with taste and was very happy.

After a long time, Lu Linglong couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

After Lu Ping'an handed over Lu Linglong to Bai Bo, he planned to leave.

Bai Bo smiled and said softly: "Young Master, you are still the same as back then, you are a gentle and kind person in your heart. ”

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "I'm only like this when I face people who deserve to be treated like this, but in fact, I have changed a lot compared to back then." ”

Bai Bo said: "But the old slave feels that your essence has not changed, young master. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Maybe, it's not too early, Bai Bo, you should rest early." ”

With that, Lu Ping'an walked out of the room, once again used his stealth ability, and quietly left the Lu family.

After returning to the inn, Lu Ping'an found that Meng Shaoyuan and Tian He, who were in the two rooms on his left and right, were not resting.

After all, for a cultivator of their strength realm, there was no problem with not sleeping and resting for a long time.

"Since you haven't slept, let's all come here. ”

Lu Ping'an said in his room, and it didn't take long for Tian and the two of them to push the door and walk in.

Tian He asked, "Is everything going well?

Lu Ping'an said: "There was no accident, only three people knew that I had returned to Wanqiu City, and they were all completely trustworthy people." ”

Tian He said: "With Brother Lu Xian's ability, this can be regarded as expected, but what is the situation about the incident in Jiang Liaocheng?"

Lu Ping'an told the two of them what happened in a few words.

Meng Shaoyuan said: "That means that tomorrow you will pretend to be a guard and follow your cousin, that is, the city lord of Wanqiu City, to negotiate with the people of Jiangliao City?"

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Tian He said: "Let's go with you too, it's okay to stay here anyway." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Well, I have no opinion. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Maybe, it's nothing to have two more guards anyway." ”

Tian He said: "In short, we just listen to your orders and act, that is your family's business after all, you just need to make your own judgment based on the situation." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "With the three of us here, even if those people in Jiangliao City have any ghost ideas, they are destined to be unable to succeed!"

Lu Ping'an said: "That's right, but it's best to rely on negotiations to solve it." ”

Tian He said: "But I'm afraid...... It's not that simple. ”

......

Early the next morning, Lu Ping'an and the three of them went to a place agreed before.

When they got there, they saw Lu Tianhai, and it was just him.

"This is my cousin. These two are my good brothers, Tian He and Meng Shaoyuan. ”

Lu Ping'an gave a brief introduction to the two parties who didn't know each other.

Tian He and Meng Shaoyuan bowed to Lu Tianhai. But Lu Tianhai looked at Tian He with some surprise and said, "You...... You are the son of Tian Yan, Tian He?"

Tian He nodded: "Yes." ”

Lu Tianhai naturally knew what happened to the Tian family back then, and when he looked at Tian He at this time, his emotions were a little complicated.

After being silent for a while, Lu Tianhai said, "Your father...... It's a good city lord, but it's a pity ......"

If it was any kind of comfort and encouragement, Tian He might not have any reaction when he heard it, because it had come to this, and he didn't need it for a long time.

But Lu Tianhai's words hit his heart at once, making him stunned for a long time.

It is estimated that it is also because Lu Tianhai is now the city lord, so he can better understand what kind of city lord Tian Yan used to be, so Lu Tianhai's evaluation is very convincing and golden.

Tian He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you! If my father had a spirit in heaven, he would be very relieved to hear your words!"

The few of them didn't talk much, and soon, Lu Tianhai took out three clothes of the Lu family's guards, and then Lu Ping'an and the three of them put them on the outside, which looked decent.

In the end, Lu Ping'an and the three did not forget to change their appearance.

It didn't take long for them to really become three Lu family guards in their twenties and thirties, with extremely ordinary looks and temperaments.

Lu Tianhai looked at the three of them and said, "It is worthy of being a strong cultivator, this disguise, the whole person has completely changed, if I didn't know in advance, I wouldn't have recognized it at all." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Tianhaibo, you just need to be our real Lu family guard, you can do whatever you want, and you have to do a full set of plays." ”

"Well, I've got my own measure. ”

Lu Tianhai said, his face immediately became serious, and he said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you escort me to the City Lord's Mansion quickly?"

Lu Ping'an and the three of them glanced at each other, smiled, and then they all arched their hands and said, "Yes, Lord City." ”

After a while, the four of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion together.

The other people who went to participate in the negotiations have also gathered in the house.

Someone saw Lu Tianhai bring three strangers over, so he couldn't help asking, "Lord City, these three are ......?"

Lu Tianhai said: "My Lu family's guard." ”

When everyone heard this, they all understood, and they didn't ask any more questions.

Although there will also be official guards on the official side to protect Lu Tianhai, it is normal for him to trust the people of his family more.

But in fact, when Lu Tianhai became the city lord, it was inevitable that there would be the Lu family in the official mansion, but even if those Lu family members didn't know Lu Ping'an and the three of them, they wouldn't say anything, they would only feel that the city lord must have his own plans.

All in all, Lu Ping'an and the three of them successfully became Lu Tianhai's guards, and they also joined the team to negotiate this time.

As for how to negotiate with the other party, what plans and preparations there are, Lu Tianhai and other people in the government are discussing, Lu Ping'an and the three of them did not intervene, just stood quietly aside.

After a period of time, Lu Tianhai and the others discussed it almost, so they got into several carriages and formed a team of more than ten people and went to the agreed place.

The place agreed by the two parties is the town closest to Wanqiu City and Jiangliao City, and belongs to another city, called Honggu Town.

Lu Tianhai had already sent someone to go, and the latest news he had received so far was that there were no ambushes or traps, and everything was normal.

Their entire team advanced at a slow pace, and after more than an hour, they arrived at Honggu Town.

Along the way, nothing unexpected happened.

But even so, Lu Ping'an and the three of them still sat in a carriage with Lu Tianhai from the beginning, protecting him inseparably.

Honggu Town is a very ordinary town, with no characteristics at all, and the reason why it was chosen as the negotiation location is nothing more than because it is a third-party territory, and the distance is more suitable for both parties.

When they arrived in the town, they went directly to a beautiful and quiet courtyard, which was the specific place of negotiation between the two sides.

The owner of the courtyard was a wealthy man in the area, and he lent it to them.

After being inspected by the people sent by Lu Tianhai before, nothing unusual was found.

However, when they arrived, Lu Ping'an still went to take a walk in person.

After all, those subordinates of Lu Tianhai, the strength realm should not be much higher, if the other party arranges a relatively advanced magic circle, or there are people with a higher realm to ambush, they may not be able to check it.

But with Lu Ping'an's perceptual ability, coupled with the detection function of the devouring system, there were basically no formations and monks that he couldn't detect.

After a while, Lu Ping'an returned to the room where Lu Tianhai, Tian He, and Meng Shaoyuan were.

Because the people from Jiangliao City had not yet arrived at this time, they could only wait first, and this also gave them time to prepare.

Lu Tianhai asked, "What's the situation?"

Lu Ping'an said: "There is indeed no problem, this is a very normal courtyard." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Brother Lu said that there is no problem, then it must be like this." ”

Tian He said: "Could it be that those guys really want to negotiate well?

Lu Tianhai said: "Although I don't believe it either, at least from the current point of view, they haven't done anything. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "It's better to be like this, otherwise they will definitely regret it." ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "Then how are you preparing for your negotiation?"

Lu Tianhai said: "The specific dispute is actually a bit complicated, but our side is willing to take the initiative to take a step back, just to solve the matter, it depends on whether the other party can accept it." Of course, we won't give it up at the beginning, we still have to look at the situation first, after all, those mineral resources involve the interests of the entire Wanqiu City, and we can't easily give them up. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "What if they don't accept it?"

Lu Tianhai said: "We chose to back down, and the conditions given are also sincere, if they still don't agree, it means that they don't plan to talk to us, they just want to take advantage of our Wanqiu City." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Well, I believe in your judgment Tianhaibo, if they have to make an inch, there is no need to continue talking with them, otherwise they will think that our people in Wanqiu City are easy to bully." ”

Lu Tianhai said: "I think the same way, no matter how you talk about it, the bottom line and principles must be there." ”

In the blink of an eye, the time for a stick of incense has passed, and the time for negotiation agreed by the two sides has also arrived.

However, the people of Jiangliaocheng did not appear......

This made Lu Tianhai's subordinates in the official mansion feel a little unhappy.

Not to mention the matter of minerals, the other party couldn't even arrive on time, so it can be seen that they probably don't have much sincerity.
