Chapter 1284: Windfall
Walking out of the pavilion, Lu Chen went straight to the courtyard gate.
There are only two monks in the middle of the merger who guard the gate of the courtyard, and their strength is not strong, and the duty of guarding the gate is to change shifts every four hours. Because Zhou Yun and Zhu Pingsi basically changed the people in the other courtyard thoroughly, they studied the matter of the rotation guard for many days, and finally the two parties reached an agreement in private. I don't know the specific content, but judging from the performance of the monks guarding the courtyard gate who never communicated, it is estimated that one of the two people at the door is the eyeliner of the Zhou family and the other is the Zhu family.
Lu Chen is not blind, he can still see this little bit of cattiness, and he doesn't pay attention to it, whoever sees him in the past few days has nodded his head, but it is not difficult to guess what he reports to the top behind his back.
Green Dou has never gone out since he came in, and what kind of status Lu Chen has in Green Dou's heart is still under the research of the two forces.
From a distance, Lu Chen saw a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament, standing proudly in front of the courtyard gate, although his expression was unremarkable, he would sometimes look into the courtyard.
Lu Chen smiled secretly in his heart and walked over with pace.
When someone comes to visit, they must go through the communication, that is, shout inside with their throats, and then Lu Chen will come out to receive them on behalf of Green Dou. That's basically how it goes.
Lu Chen didn't hear the shout just now, and when he walked to the moon gate, Lu Chen stepped forward, bowed, and was not flattering or arrogant, and said naturally: "Yuhu has seen Zhou Gongzi." ”
"Are you Yuhu?" Zhou Changjie squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Chen, seeing that this kid was not outstanding, he was a little dark, and he had a number in his heart. He came here for Lu Chen, but Zhou Yun's order was to buy, but in his heart, a subordinate in the middle of the merger was not in his eyes.
Swept Lu Chen contemptuously, Zhou Changjie said coldly: "Go, spread the word, Changjie asks to see the ancestor." ”
Zhou Changjie knew that Green Dou would not meet him, but he couldn't directly express his intentions, he wanted to find Lu Chen, so he made a delay.
Lu Chen's eyelids jumped, why didn't he know what he meant, so he said: "When the eldest prince of Zhou came, the ancestor already knew that the ancestor said that the old disease had recurred, and it was inconvenient to see people, so the prince should please go back." ”
Zhou Changjie was not unhappy and said, "Hmm." Does Old Ancestor's old illness still flare up every night?"
When he said this, Lu Chen and Green Dou had been doing it for nearly half a month, and it was reasonable for Zhou Changjie to ask about the situation.
"Yes. Lu Chen began to deceive: "It's still that time, and it's been more frequent recently." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Changjie showed a worried expression, but his heart was happy, they were always worried that Green Dou's injuries would improve and he would take power again. The strength of a Great Perfection master in the late stage of the Tribulation is very terrifying, otherwise the Zhou and Zhu families would have already taken action against the old man of Green Dou.
Zhou Changjie settled down and said: "The ancestor is not in good health, since he values you, you have to do your best, take care of the ancestor, if there is anything, notify me immediately, understand?"
"Yes, Gongzi Zhou. Lu Chen bowed down to receive the order.
Zhou Changjie took out a Qiankun bag, handed it to Lu Chen, and said, "Take this, there are hundreds of good pills in it, the master can use it, and in addition, this son put some spirit crystals in it as a reward for you, do a good job, you know?"
"Thank you. Lu Chen hurriedly thanked Ling, and the skill of role-playing was extremely high.
"Yes. Since it is inconvenient for the master to meet people, then I will go first. Zhou Changjie said, looked at the monk guarding the courtyard on the right, and immediately said to Lu Chen: "You take me to the front yard to have a look, and my son will see what is missing, go back and prepare to send it over." ”
Lu Chen was speechless for a while, and said secretly: If you want to find a place where no one is talking, you have to find a better reason, I am the personal boy of Green Bucket, but I am not the manager.
With his abdomen and fibula, Lu Chen still had to leave with Zhou Changjie. And just as the two of them left the Moon Gate and walked towards the front garden, the monk on the right side of the Moon Gate was secretly busy behind the scenes.
When he arrived at the door of the front hall, Zhou Changjie saw that there was no one around, and whispered as he walked: "Yuhu." ”
"Childe. Lu Chen pretended to be stunned, but his heart was transparent, and he probably had to get down to business.
"In the evening, in the Red Refining Star, Shuangxing Building, my son prepared a table and banquet, you often have to do things for the ancestor, and you have not been out of Red Mercury for many years, and you rarely see people. Ben Gongzi invited a few friends, you can come with it, and it will be more convenient to walk in the Red Refining Star in the future. ”
What Zhou Changjie said was not salty or light, but the intention was obvious, it was obvious that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he used the excuse to talk to himself.
Lu Chen was originally going to approach these two families, and it happened that Zhou Changjie came by coincidence, and he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would definitely become a thorn in the Zhou family's side immediately. He was about to open his mouth when suddenly a hearty laugh rang out from not far away.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, you're here too. ”
The two turned around and looked, it was also an extraordinary-looking son, wearing a jade crown, a green robe, walking in the clouds, and the fairy spirit was flying.
When Zhou Changjie saw this person, a trace of gloom quickly flashed in his eyes, but immediately his eyes bent again, and he said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Xian, have you also come to see the ancestor?" Zhou Changjie greeted him with a smile.
Lu Chen listened, and had a number in his heart, no need to ask, it was estimated that it was a son of the Zhu family.
The person who came was none other than Zhu Ran, the son of the Zhu family, who was ordered by his father to buy Lu Chen.
The two approached and hugged each other's fists, and Zhu Ran said: "Alas, I didn't expect the little brother to hurry up, or take a step slowly, Brother Zhou has seen the ancestor?"
Zhou Changjie shook his head and sighed worriedly: "Alas! No, Shizu's condition has relapsed. ”
"Oh, is it troublesome, do you want to call my father and they come over? Zhu Ran also frowned, the acting skills of these two goods are not ordinarily powerful, Lu Chen watched from the side, if he didn't know the inside story of the Red Refining Sect, he was afraid that he would be deceived by the two.
"That's not necessary. Zhou Changjie waved his hand and said: "Yuhu said that the old man is unwell and doesn't want to see people, so we juniors should listen to him." ”
"Yuhu?" Zhu Ran had already seen Lu Chen, and had also heard that this person's appearance was compatible with the little guy in front of him, but he kept pretending not to see it, just waiting for an opportunity. Hearing Zhou Changjie mention, Zhu Ran glanced sideways at Lu Chen, and then said, "You are Yuhu, the personal boy ordered by the ancestor?"
"This is ......" Lu Chen pretended to be stupid.
"Bold. Zhou Changjie glared and said, "Haven't you seen Zhu Ran and Zhu Gongzi?" he pointed at Zhu Ran.
"It turned out to be Master Zhu!" Lu Chen was surprised and immediately saluted.
Just about to bow down, Zhu Ran hurriedly ran over, supported Lu Chen, and said, "No, no, haha, I heard that the ancestor chose a personal boy, Zhu Ran wanted to come over to meet Yuhu Daoyou very early." Alas~, the ancestor has become more and more stubborn in recent years, and his strength has dropped greatly, which is really unfortunate. Yuhu, I'm busy with things in peacetime, my ancestor has a strange temper, I don't like to let me wait for me to be around, and I will be thanks to you in the future. ”
This guy said, like Zhou Changjie, he took out a Qiankun bag, stuffed it into Lu Chen's hand, and said: "It's some pills and spirit crystals prepared by this father and me, the ancestor has not been out of the Red Refining Peak for many years, and there should be no spirit crystals in his hand, you take it, buy some things for the ancestor to tonic, and it can be regarded as the filial piety of our juniors." ”
is different from Zhou Changjie, Zhu Ran's approachability is more acceptable, ask yourself, if Lu Chen is really just a boy of Green Bucket, he will be closer to Zhu Ran more, after all, people are filial.
But however, neither of these two goods is a good thing, the purpose is the same, and they both want to buy themselves, but Zhu Ran's methods are a little smarter. I didn't really treat myself as a child, but as a friend.
Lu Chen looked at Zhou Changjie quite embarrassed, it would definitely not work if he didn't accept it, he rolled his eyes, pushed the thing back and said: "Zhu Gongzi is polite, Zhou Gongzi has already prepared some for Yuhu before, it is enough." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Ran looked at Zhou Changjie, and secretly scolded himself for being a step slower. also understood the reason why Lu Chen didn't dare to accept it, so he said: "It's okay, prepare more things that are only good, right, Brother Zhou?"
"Hehe!" Lu Chen's heart was so cool, so there would be no problem. Can Zhou Changjie disagree? Impossible.
Sure enough, Zhou Changjie's eyes flashed, and he immediately recovered: "That's right, since Brother Zhu Xian is also ready, you can take it." Jade Lake. ”
"Well, well. Lu Chen pocketed Qiankun, received the robe, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The kindness of the two sons, Yuhu will show the ancestor." ”
"Oh, no, don't bother his old man. Zhu Ran hurriedly said: "By the way, today I hit it off with Yuhu Daoyou, I think it's better to bump into it, find a time to come out and sit in the evening." Thinking that Daoyou has been in the other courtyard for many years, and has never had the opportunity to go out, we will go to the Double Star Building of the Red Refining Star, where the songs are both civil and military, and the double cultivation can improve the strength of the weak in one night. Hehe. ”
"Damn. When Lu Chen heard this, he scolded secretly in his heart, and said secretly: "This guy is more shameless than Zhou Changjie, and the words have come to this point, is Lao Tzu very familiar with you?"
Before Lu Chen could speak, Zhou Changjie finally couldn't help it, and said in his heart: "There is always one who comes first and then comes, I have invited you, which round will get you." ”
After thinking about it, Zhou Changjie said: "Heh, Brother Zhu Xian is late, I have already arranged a table of banquets, I am afraid that Yuhu Daoist friends will leave with me tonight." ”
After a lot of effort, he changed from a subordinate to a level, calling him a fellow Daoist, and it seems that Zhou Changjie also realized that his methods were a little too difficult to accept.
"Oh, Brother Zhou is going with me?" Zhu Ran was not surprised, but still showed surprise.
"What do you mean to go with you? I'll think about it first. Zhou Changjie couldn't hold back and secretly snorted to himself.
Zhu Ran smiled and said, "Anyway, please, since that's the case, why don't we go together, Brother Zhou, what do you say?"
"This ......" Zhou Changjie didn't expect Zhu Ran to be so difficult to deal with: together?
It's still Lu Chen, he doesn't want to show his relationship with either of the two forces too early, in the face of the offensive of these two forces, he must come up with something to send, otherwise it will be difficult to be a subordinate in front of them in the future, and he will not be taken seriously.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said loudly: "The two sons ......"
The two of them looked at Lu Chen in unison. Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said apologetically: "The kindness of the two sons, Yuhu has received it, Yuhu has just been promoted, how can you say that you will leave." And recently, the ancestor has arranged some trivial matters in Yuhu that have not been resolved, so it is better to wait for another (8) period of time, and when Yuhu completes the task assigned by the ancestor, then accompany the two sons to drink and chat. ”
"Oh?" When these words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and Zhu Ran asked impatiently, "What did the master arrange for you to do?"
Zhou Changjie also looked at Lu Chen, wanting to know about Green Dou's actions.
Lu Chen just said nonsense later, how can there be such a thing, but the effect is not bad, at least he can see that the Zhou and Zhu families care about the movements of Green Dou.
Lu Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The two sons, I'm really sorry, the ancestor made it clear that this matter should not be talked about with outsiders, please forgive the two sons." ”
With a sloppy eye, you can guess it, haha! Lu Chen thought.
"That's right. Although they didn't know what Green Dou was going to do, Zhu Ran and Zhou Changjie knew what Green Dou was going to do. This is enough, Lu Chen can't say it, it's because the two of them are present at the same time, and it's not too late to talk about it when they go back, anyway, they can escape from the monk and can't escape from the temple.
"Okay, the ancestor will ask Daoyou, I'll go back first. Later, if you have time, go to the Red Refining Star and take my jade plate, you can find me, don't worry, no one will stop you. Zhu Ran is indeed a good person, and immediately took out his identity waist card and stuffed it to Lu Chen.
Zhou Changjie did not show weakness, untied his waist card, handed it to Lu Chen, and said clearly: "This is mine, in the Red Refining Sect City, if you need anything, you can go and get it directly, you don't have to pay money." ”
After saying that, the two left at the same time.
Lu Chen was stunned with the two waist cards, and waited until the two of them walked away before he was ecstatic: "Haha, there is an unexpected gain, and you can be fake and deceive in the future." ”
