"Thank you for the city lord's kindness, the grace of dripping water, Lu Mou will remember it in his heart, and do it first as a respect!" Lu Chen raised his wine glass and bowed his hand to Tang Qianjun, his expression was very sincere.
Tang Qianjun smiled, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "This request is not worth mentioning, Brother Lu is erudite and talented, and his bearing is extraordinary, which can be described as a condescending talent in this small Wushuang City." Young man, the old man admonishes you, look farther, the outside world is as strong as a cloud, if you want to get ahead and become famous, you must work hard to fight and work hard. Good man, aim in all directions, don't be limited by the narrowness in front of you! The old man will not look away, with your talent to look at the north and south of the river, are outstanding, in time, there will be a day to shine. Between the words, it was full of appreciation and praise for Lu Chen.
When Lu Chen heard this, he didn't seem to be very proud, and said very modestly: "Don't dare to be, city lord, you think too highly of Lu!"
"No, even my eldest daughter Tang Yun favors you, how can the old man look away!" the city lord said with a smile, which meant very obviously.
"Tang Yun!" Lu Chen heard this, and his mind suddenly couldn't help but pass over Tang Yun's slender figure, and he looked very embarrassed for a while.
What's wrong with the city lord, my sister can't do it, so I'm going to recommend my sister to win him over, this old guy is really scheming!
Tang Qianjun said in a mocking tone: "Brother Lu, don't you really have any idea to be the old man's son-in-law of Chenglong? If you are not satisfied with my family Xuanxuan, what about Tang Yun's conditions?"
Lu Chen listened to the words of the city lord, and couldn't laugh or cry: "City lord, don't hide it, in fact, there is a marriage contract in the morning!"
When Tang Qianjun heard this, he was suddenly surprised: "Oh, there is such a thing, it seems that the old man's idea is a little redundant!"
"Where, it's Lu who concealed it first, looking at the city lord Haihan!" Lu Chen said with a slight shame.
Tang Qianjun said with a smile: "Brother Lu doesn't need to feel guilty, it's the old man who didn't take into account your feelings before, I hope you don't mind." ”
An old man and a young man sat in the courtyard, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing, and the exchange seemed very pleasant, and the previous estrangement gradually disappeared, as if they had known old friends for many years.
At this moment, Tang Qianjun asked Lu Chen again: "Brother Lu, what are your plans next?"
Lu Chen put down his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and said, "After recuperating from your body, you will leave for the Liuyun Sword Sect to participate in the recruitment ceremony and fight for your future!"
"That's just right, why don't you be a companion with the little girl Tang Xuan!" Tang Qianjun's eyes lit up and he stared at Lu Chendao.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "Tang Xuan, is she also going to the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect?"
"That's right!" Tang Qianjun nodded and sighed lightly: "This girl has a too wild temperament, and it is all to blame for the old man's usual neglect of discipline, and she is bent on managing the affairs of the county town, causing this girl to be domineering, if she continues like this, sooner or later she will cause trouble, it is better to send her to the sect and let the old man's brothers and sisters teach her, so that she can cultivate her self-cultivation and polish her talents!"
"Pity the hearts of parents in the world, the city lord loves his children so much, it really makes Lu admire!" Lu Chen sighed with a little emotion, Tang Qianjun's words couldn't help but remind him of the scene when his father Lu Zhenxuan carefully taught him, only to blame Lu Chen for being playful and willful, and not taking his father's hard work seriously, and only when he lost it, did he know that his father's love was precious.
Tang Qianjun smiled a little wryly: "Hey, the old man owes them too much, and that parent doesn't want their son to become a dragon!"
"City Lord, if you want Tang Xuan and Zai Zuo to go to the Liuyun Sword Sect, I'm afraid you're going to disappoint you!" Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said what he thought in his heart.
"Why do you say this!" Tang Qianjun was stunned, and then said in confusion.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "There is still a month before the sect recruitment ceremony, Lu is not in a hurry, he wants to go to the Wolong Mountain Range alone to cultivate for a few days, improve his strength, and then go to the sect for assessment! ”
Tang Qianjun heard this and nodded: "Well, the stronger the strength, the more sure you are of the assessment, so hard, Brother Lu is really thoughtful, the old man didn't mistake you!"
"I'm sorry, City Lord!" Lu Chen looked a little helpless, what did the City Lord pay attention to, why did he keep pushing his daughter on himself!
Tang Qianjun smiled kindly: "There is no need to say this, you have your plans, and the old man also knows that there are some things that cannot be forced! Since this is the case, then you should rest first, the old man still has some things to explain to Yun'er!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door of the courtyard.
"City Lord, please!" Lu Chen immediately sent him off.
Interestingly, as soon as the city lord walked to the door, Tang Yun's figure appeared, she looked at her father in surprise, and she didn't understand the purpose of his coming to find Lu Chen for a while.
Tang Qianjun gestured to her, and the two father and daughter met and separated.
Tang Yun looked stunned, as if she had thought of something, and the sides of her pretty face began to turn red and hot!
"Miss Tang, please come in!" Lu Chen stood in the courtyard, and when he saw Tang Yun stunned at the door, he immediately invited with a bright smile.
Tang Yun hesitated for a moment, and led several maids to slowly step into the courtyard with lotus steps.
"Why do you have time to come to me today!" Lu Chen stood in the courtyard in a green shirt, like a green pine, with a graceful demeanor, looking at Tang Yun who was walking towards him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Tang Yun restrained the rippling emotions in her heart, and said with a light smile: "I just finished the matter at hand, and I just have time, so I will come to see you by the way!"
"Thank you, please sit down!" Lu Chen invited the other party to sit down.
Tang Yun sat down elegantly and called the attendant: "Prepare some good wine and food, I want to thank Brother Lu!"
"Miss, you're welcome!" Lu Chen waved his hand.
Tang Yun didn't pay attention to Lu Chen, and still asked the maid to prepare some wine and food.
"How's the injury, is it better?" Tang Yun stared at Lu Chendao with concern, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of crystal.
Lu Chen said: "Thank you for your concern, it's almost okay, I'll leave in a few days." ”
When Tang Yun heard this, he frowned and said, "What, do you think I'm going to drive you away!"
"Eh!" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "Don't get me wrong, I just feel that I have been staying in the house for some time, and I am really embarrassed to continue to trouble you after delaying for so long!"
The wine and food were quickly served, Tang Yun waved away the few maids who were serving beside him, and only the two of them were left in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was quite quiet.
The two sides were silent for a moment, Tang Yun poured a glass of wine for Lu Chen, and then said slowly: "Where are you going!"
"The four seas are home, for me, the outside world is so vast, there is a place to go anywhere!" Lu Chen replied very freely.
When Tang Yun heard this, she sighed, and her face was calm: "Thank you for everything you have done for the Tang family, I toast you." With that, he raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.
"Eldest Miss, it is indeed a heroine among women, Lu admires!" Lu Chen praised.
Tang Yun said: "That day, it was you who sent someone to deliver the news to me!"
Lu Chen pretended to be a little incomprehensible and said, "Miss, what are you talking about, don't you understand?"
Tang Yun rolled her eyes angrily, this guy clearly wanted to pretend to be innocent in front of her. A few days ago, if someone hadn't sent her a message, informing her that there were traitors in Wushuang City who planned to join forces with the outside and seize Wushuang City. I'm afraid, the consequences are unimaginable.
And the person Tang Yun can think of, naturally only Lu Chen, otherwise, who would find out the murderer behind the scenes so easily, and there is no peace in Shuangshuang City. Their Tang family can be said to owe Lu Chen a great favor.
Tang Yun knew very well in her heart that the conspiracy secretly planned by Wei Lan could be described as interlocking and seamless, and even she, who had always been smart, was kept in the dark and almost fooled. Fortunately, Lu Chen stepped in sideways and made decisive moves many times, disrupting the other party's overall plan and revealing the truth.
Otherwise, this Wushuang City would have been broken into the city by the people of the White Tiger Tower because of the negligence of the city lord, and it changed hands overnight and became the territory occupied by the White Tiger Tower. Their Tang family is afraid that they will no longer have the shame to face the Liuyun Sword Sect and slowly move towards a situation of decline.
"It's nothing!" Tang Yun put down the wine glass, stared at Lu Chen, and said seriously: "Brother Lu, have you forgotten one thing?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a calm face: "Miss, do you want to say that Lu Mou has a poison on him, and you have not solved this matter!"
"Well, that's right!" Tang Yun nodded in response.
Lu Chen smiled indifferently: "The things I promised the eldest lady have been done, I believe that with the character of the eldest lady, the things I promised at the beginning will not go back on my word!"
"Yes, I won't go back on my word, I will give you the antidote to the poison of the heart, but this antidote can only alleviate the spread of toxins, but it cannot completely detoxify!" Tang Yun picked up a piece of tender melon and fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, looking very calm.
When Lu Chen heard this, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Miss, what does this mean?" This woman is so scheming, and she really responded to the old saying, the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her mind is.
