As Lu Tao's carriage returned to the Lu family's mansion, Zhou Ang finally opened his eyes, took the initiative to cut off the "vision" provided by the mirror, and his consciousness quickly returned to the study in front of him.

The original intention was just to observe the current situation of the girl in the Du family, but I didn't expect to go to see Lu Tao again in a blink of an eye, and there was such an extra gain, which was an unexpected joy for Zhou Ang.

In fact, since becoming a cultivator, Zhou Ang has always maintained a strong curiosity about the world he lives in, whether it is choosing to join the organization of official cultivators, or seriously going to the archives to look through the past archives and records, and of course, going to Lu to find history books, in fact, it is out of this strong curiosity - but even if he tries hard to do the above, Zhou Ang is still insufficient.

In the past few months since he came to this world, he has been busy chattering, trying to complete his understanding of the hidden parts of this world, but perhaps because the cultivation of the "Mountain Gate" is self-contained, and the official cultivator's system, such as merit examinations, promotions, and even rank promotions, is also self-contained, so that Zhou Ang has always had almost no need for the outside world.

Therefore, although he has been trying hard to absorb knowledge, there is a blind spot in his thinking, which has not been noticed by himself until this "vision".

That is, in such a big world, among the many cultivators, in addition to the official cultivators, as well as those evil sects that are closely watched and even hunted down by the official cultivators, even if it is just logical reasoning, there will definitely be a large number of underground cultivators, or "in the wild" cultivators.

Although they are not officially recognized, they are not officially listed as antagonists. As long as they don't break the law, then the government doesn't seem to have any intention of recourse and suppression, and even if they occasionally meet a suitable one, they may be willing to absorb it into the system of official practitioners - the best example, isn't it themselves?

It's just that although I was also such an underground cultivator at the beginning, the way I entered the path of cultivation was different, so I didn't connect with these real underground cultivators from the beginning.

Later, although his master "disappeared", he had already become an official practitioner, and even if he was backed by another organization, although he was vaguely aware of what he had overlooked, and tried to find and complete his understanding of the world through various means, this blind spot of thinking has not been swept away.

Until today, until now, through such an accident, they, and their underground gathering, finally appeared in front of themselves.

In the study, Zhou Ang, who had withdrawn from the "field of vision", was crooked in the Hu chair and thought silently for a long time.

............

Soon after Lu Tao returned home, she simply changed her coat and opened her man's bun, and her two younger brothers, Lu Xun and Lu Yan, came together.

After the maid passed the ceremony, she quickly took them into the room, Lu Tao had already changed his clothes, and was boiling water and making tea himself, when he saw the two younger brothers coming in, he said lightly: "Sit down first, the tea will be good immediately." ”

So the two sat down according to their words, but they didn't sit for a while, Lu Xun was okay, he was still sitting upright, only one year younger than him, he was sixteen years old this year, and for men in this era, Lu Xun, who could already be classified as an adult, was quite restless and couldn't help but get up and leaned over.

Squatting down in front of the stove, he sniffed the fragrance of tea and said with a smile: "My sister's tea-making skills may not be better than Alain's, so why do you have to do this work yourself?

Hearing this, Lu Xun couldn't help but show helplessness, and the maid Alan who was standing on the side lowered her head and pursed her lips, although she wanted to laugh, she couldn't help but hold back, and Lu Tao couldn't help but laugh angrily at him, and scolded: "Go back and sit down and wait!"

"Oh!"

Lu Yan obediently went back and sat down again.

At this time, although Lu Tao patiently watched the stove until the tea was boiled and the tea fragrance was overflowing in the room, he was no longer in the mood to filter the tea and divide the tea, so he simply got up, beckoned Alan to come over, and said, "You come to divide the tea, take the best one and Ah Yan!"

"No!" Alain bowed his head in agreement.

So she went back and sat down by herself, at this time, Lu Xun looked at her nose and nose, and she didn't hear anything, pretending to be innocent there, but Lu Xun laughed softly.

When the tea moisture was good, the maid Alan really brought the tea tray to Lu Yan first, knelt on her knees, and served the first light to him first, and then went to Lu Xun and Lu Tao to serve tea in turn.

After the three teas were served, Alain stepped aside.

Lu Tao said: "You taste it, is it good to see if my sister's tea is good?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan obediently picked up the teacup, sniffed first, then looked, followed the rules of tea tasting, and then brought it to the front, blew lightly, raised his sleeves to cover his face, drank it all, put down the cup, and couldn't see the strange feeling of hot tea entering his throat, but said with a glance: "Sister really cooks good tea!"

Lu Tao finally couldn't hold back and glared at him, but then he burst out laughing.

As far as she is concerned, although Lu Xun is a compatriot of the same mother, after the death of her mother and father, she is the closest of her relatives, although the two little brothers and sisters of Lu Xun and Lu Qi are also close relatives, in the end, they are not from the same mother, it stands to reason that they are half a step away after all.

Not to mention that although Lu Xun is only seventeen years old, he is precocious and calm, and his speech and demeanor are quite like his father's legacy, especially in such a special situation at present, he, the eldest son, can stand up so much, and he helps her share many things and worries, so he is naturally relied on by her.

However, for some reason, Lu Tao subconsciously likes the stubborn young brother Lu Xun more like to do things, and the naïve and cunning younger sister Lu Qi - of course, this is not to say that she doesn't like the eldest brother Lu Xun, but after running around and working every day, she certainly enjoys sitting down with the eldest brother Lu Xun to discuss and exchange the results of a day's travel, and what she has seen and heard, but she enjoys the young brother Lu Xun coming over to play a few poor words and make fun of a few words.

Even if he deliberately spoke to be angry with himself, he felt that it was infinitely fun.

After all, although the eldest brother Lu Xun is mature and atmospheric, he is too boring at a young age. In him, people can hardly experience the joy of the eldest sister, but the two living treasures Lu Yan and Lu Qi, as long as they appear, they will inevitably make people's hearts relaxed.

At this time, laughing at this young brother playing treasure in front of him, Lu Tao laughed heartily, laughed, and couldn't help but stiffen his face and reprimand him: "Is your mouth hot?

It's okay if she doesn't ask, Lu Yan looks serious and nonchalant, she asks, even if Lu Yan can't hold it anymore, he rubs his throat and fanns his mouth, looking burned, which makes Lu Tao can't help laughing, and he frequently despises him.

The sisters and brothers laughed for a while, Lu Tao already felt that most of the fatigue of the day had been removed, and he no longer laughed with him, and finally got up, looked at the eldest brother Lu Xun, and said, "What are you gaining today?"

Lu Xun said: "Sister personally seen the shops, this afternoon, I accepted another one, although the profit of the rice shop is not high, but it is related to the people's livelihood, better in the long run, I have also carefully observed, the shop's actions, quite steady, the price of rice is in the middle, but it is enough to do business for a long time." When this wave is over, we can follow the plan and ask them to buy rice from us. ”

Lu Tao nodded and said lightly: "Well done!"

After a pause, Lu Xun smiled and said, "But...... He said that his sister did not want to be a concubine, and neither he nor his father wanted to persecute too much, so they meant to see if there could be a separate way to make the two families equally close, but not to force things out. ...... I didn't dare to answer him right away, I just told him with a cold face that I would talk about it when I thought about it. ”

Lu Tao frowned when he heard this, "Don't want to be a concubine with someone?"

After a pause, she took a deep breath, and she didn't know what she thought, but she was rarely silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, we don't have to force others." Isn't it just a servant family, an enlightenment pill is not worth anything, just give it to them when you go back, and when the relationship between the two sides gets closer, I will take the time to meet this girl. If it would be great...... I can't say that I can ask to be a good lady for Ayan. ”

When it comes to this kind of topic, Lu Yan has always been incompatible, and when he heard his sister mention his name, he raised his head in amazement, and hurriedly said: "Don't sister, I originally said that it was the eldest brother's beautiful flower, why did you push it to me again......?"

Not to mention Lu Xun's personality, although he is old, he has long been a dancer, but for a woman he has never seen before, he doesn't care much, for him, this matter is more considered from the level of family interests, so when he heard his sister's words, he didn't have any objection.

On the contrary, Lu Tao, seeing the performance of his two younger brothers at this moment, couldn't help but say solemnly: "I don't care about what the Du family will do in the future, and I don't care, but although this woman is from the Du family, she rarely wants to fight, but she is an assertive and backbone girl. In the future, you will need such a woman to help you support your family. ”

After a pause, seeing that Lu Yan was speechless and obediently listened to the training, her tone softened again, and said: "But this matter is inconclusive, there is only one woman left and right, let's do it and watch it!"

As soon as she said this, even if the matter was put on hold for the time being, the two younger brothers below immediately agreed in unison.

Then Lu Xun spoke again and asked about Lu Tao going to participate in the underground transaction in the evening, Lu Tao thought about it and said: "You still have to participate, but Lingzhou City is not much better than Zhanzhou, or what my father said that day, it is both a blessing and a misfortune to be in such a small place." Fortunately, the place is small, and the degree of mixing in the place is less, and you will not meet an opponent who is too strong to provoke when you are too weak. But unfortunately, the place is too small, and the resources and opportunities are really lackluster. ”

After commenting like this, she couldn't help mentioning the specific situation of participating in the transaction at night, and sighed: "It's not easy for demon corpses, I have participated in two transactions, there was none last time, and there is only one this time, in addition, there are few pills, and there is no magic weapon." Alas...... We can only wait and see when we will meet and when we will buy it. ”

This is all a reality, and naturally there is nothing to say.

And their brother and sister actually knew that according to the situation they had inquired about in advance, the "big man" had personally said that in this underground transaction presided over by him in Lingzhou City, there would be about five to eight magic weapons and about thirty or fifty demon corpses every year—which was already a lot.

You know, this is just Lingzhou, a county, not Chang'an City!

Therefore, disappointment is disappointment, but the Lu family sisters and brothers all understand that the probability is this chance, as long as they wait patiently, good things will still appear, and naturally it is just a momentary emotion.

After saying this, Lu Xun spoke again and said, "The Zhou Ang that my sister asked me to inquire about, I have already ordered someone to carefully collect information, and judging from the clues of many things, this person's situation seems to be quite complicated. Not only was he an underground cultivator, but he had always been a clerk since he joined the county Zhu Yamen, and he usually didn't seem to be very involved in the county Zhu Yamen's handling of some situations, and only at some critical times would he go out with other official cultivators. ”

"This is not the most important thing, more importantly, according to the careful analysis of the information obtained, it can be roughly found that since he joined the county Zhu Yamen, Lingzhou County's performance appraisal has always been superior, and many cases reported in Lingzhou County, including the monsters killed, seem to be directly related to him!"

"During my investigation, I also found that it seems that the county Zhu Yamen also has some extra attention to him. Thinking that it was Shen Ming and Shen Jun wishing them, they also found that this Zhou Ang seemed to be a little unusual. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused slightly, letting his sister and younger brother digest what he had just said, and then continued: "It's just that Zhou Ang's actions this time seem to be a little extraordinarily low-key, and many things, we can only start from the official documents, from the county Zhu Yamen, and from some low-level people on the side of the county Zhu Yamen, so for a while, there is a feeling of a blind man touching an elephant, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the truth." ”

"Based on this, I think there is a lot of mystery in him as a person. Therefore, the reason why he rejected his sister thousands of miles away that day is really not easy to judge. ”

Since hearing the name Zhou Ang, Lu Tao has already cooled down, hearing this, she nodded lightly and said, "Continue to pay attention, after a long time, he will eventually show his feet!"

After a pause, she said again: "But it's okay, it's all a trivial matter, a Zhou Ang, even if he has some ability, is just a chess piece of the county Zhu Yamen, don't care." Sooner or later, we will always find an opportunity, either simply subdue him, or take the Lu family father and son from him!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun bowed down and said, "No!"
