Chapter 1019 - Asking for Someone
For Ji Kang's behavior, Lu Ping'an was also helpless.
Ji Kang is the prince of the Beiji Kingdom, and if he can join the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the Tianyuan Sword Sect will be able to improve its relationship with the Beiji Kingdom's court.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they can't improve their relationship with the Beiji Imperial Court, they can still create pressure on Lou Deshui and them, so that they don't dare to take action against the Tianyuan Sword Sect easily.
It's just that Lu Ping'an really has no plans to accept apprentices now, because he doesn't think he can take apprentices well.
Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Ji Kang is too smart.
He saw that he had changed his face and led the team to assess, if he kept him by his side, could he still have a secret?
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't dare to really let Ji Kang kneel like this, sighed and said, "I will find someone to arrange a place for you to live, you take a shower and rest for a few days first!"
Ji Kang asked, "Then Master agreed?"
Lu Ping'an shook his head: "The stakes are very high, let me think about it for some more time!"
Although Ji Kang was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't plan to really coerce Lu Ping'an with a long kneel, so he stood up and said, "Okay, Master think about it as soon as possible!"
With that, he turned and left.
He was not discouraged because he was very confident in himself, and he believed that Lu Ping'an would definitely take him as an apprentice.
When Lu Ping'an saw him leave the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the master's mansion.
As for Lao Ping, Lu Ping'an temporarily handed him over to Lin Shixiong, the purpose was to let him have more contact with Lin Shixiong and others, so that he could know that good and evil were not simply the difference between the righteous path and the demonic path.
After Lu Ping'an returned to the mansion of the head of the family, he began to practice swords.
Jian Jiu Suzaku, he has not yet been able to master it, and his speed and strength are lacking, so there are still many things that need to be reconsidered and modified.
But the advantages of this move have been fully revealed in the battle with Shang Hongfei.
That is to penetrate the protective body!
If you can practice this trick well, at least in the same realm cultivators, there will be absolutely no one who can resist it.
"Master!" Lu Ping'an was pondering his swordsmanship, and Xue Wu strode into the master's mansion, interrupting his thoughts.
Lu Ping'an looked at Xue Wu and asked with a smile, "Law Enforcement Elder, what are you looking for me?"
Xue Wu sat down on the stone bench beside him, and said with a smile: "I heard that Ji Kang, the third prince of the Northern Ji Kingdom, came to our Tianyuan Sword Sect just now?"
Lu Ping'an's brows furrowed when he heard this: "Where did Elder Xue hear the gossip?"
"The head of the sect doesn't have to hide it, if such a big person appears in the Tianyuan Sword Sect, if I can't see it, wouldn't it be a pair of white eyes?" Xue Wu said coldly.
Lu Ping'an's brows furrowed more and more: "So, Elder Xue is here to ask for someone?"
"It's not that I'm looking for someone to ask for, it's that Your Majesty is looking for someone for you. Ji Kang is working in the territory of my Dongyu Kingdom, spying on the military situation everywhere, and His Majesty hopes that the head of the family can send him to the capital and hand him over to the three divisions for strict interrogation. Xue Wu's tone was very tough, and he didn't give Lu Ping'an room to negotiate at all.
Lu Ping'an refused to admit it: "I don't know where you got the news, what I want to tell you is that I don't have the person you are looking for here." In addition, I hope that you can pay attention to your identity in the future, and as a law enforcement elder of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, you will not commit any crimes!"
Xue Wu originally thought that it should not be difficult to just ask Lu Ping'an to hand over an irrelevant person.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping'an was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
As soon as the Tianyuan Sword Sect was established, he didn't take His Majesty in his eyes, so why should he continue like this?
His Majesty sent himself to the Tianyuan Sword Sect just to regulate the people of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, if even Lu Ping'an, the head of the sect, was so lawless, how could he manage the other disciples?
I must think of a way to knock Lu Ping'an.
However, now is not this time, he saw that Lu Ping'an did not hand over anyone, and said coldly: "Since the head of the family said that there is no such person, then I will find it myself, if I find it, I want to see how the head of the house will explain to His Majesty the Emperor at that time!"
Lu Ping'an warned: "Elder Xue, take care of your own affairs, don't do superfluous things!"
"Purging the criminals in the Tianyuan Sword Sect is also within the purview of me, a law enforcement elder. Xue Wu was not afraid, and warned Lu Ping'an in turn, "Master, I also advise you, the Tianyuan Sword Sect was established with the approval of His Majesty, if it weren't for His Majesty's backing, do you think you can get to where you are today?"
"Don't bother Elder Xue about these things!" Lu Ping'an said and turned to leave.
Ever since he heard Mu Qing say that Ji Kang was coming to find him, Lu Ping'an knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of this trouble.
Therefore, he was particularly careful in dealing with Ji Kang's affairs.
After all, not only did the Emperor of Dongyu Kingdom want to take down Ji Kang in order to threaten the Emperor of Beiji Kingdom. In order to deepen the conflict between himself and the Beiji Kingdom, the Shadow Demon may also send someone to assassinate Ji Kang.
Therefore, Ji Kang's diet and daily life, Lu Ping'an was handed over to Feng Jinghui, who he trusted, and few people in the sect knew about his existence.
So, how did the emperor and Xue Wu know?
If even they knew, maybe Shadow Fiend might know about it too.
In this way, it is really troublesome!
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an sighed, and said to himself: "Alas, it's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple hurriedly found him.
When the disciple saw Lu Ping'an, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "The head of Qiqi, someone outside the door asks to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss!"
Lu Ping'an asked, "Oh, who?"
He didn't say it, but listening to his accent, it should be from Beiji Kingdom. The disciple replied.
Lu Ping'an didn't have to think about it to know that the people from the Beiji Kingdom came to the Tianyuan Sword Sect for nothing more than two things, one was to take Ji Kang back, and the other was to force himself to leave Taifeng Mountain.
The second thing Lou Deshui had already done just now, and he returned with a feather, and it was impossible for the Beiji Kingdom to send people again so soon.
What's more, if he really came to find fault, it was impossible to be so polite to the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
In this case, the purpose of the person who came is very clear.
Lu Ping'an hesitated for a moment before he said to the disciple in front of him: "You take him to the main hall, and I will go over soon!"
"Yes!" the disciple replied, and turned to leave.
Lu Ping'an looked at the back of the disciple leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.
This is the bad thing about the Demon Sect's origin, which will only strictly follow orders, and there is no superfluous words at all.
For a sect, it is not a good thing to be so lifeless.
However, Lu Ping'an also knew that if there were no new disciples, this situation would not be able to change in a short period of time.
After a cup of tea, Lu Ping'an came to the main hall of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
A middle-aged man in his forties in the hall said sarcastically: "Master Lu, you are really waiting for people!"
"Who is Your Excellency, and what are you doing with Lu?" Lu Ping'an asked knowingly.
Although the middle-aged man had some disgust for Lu Ping'an in his eyes, he was quite polite and said: "Wei Zheng, the general of the Beiji Kingdom, came here this time in the hope that Lu Zhangmen could release His Royal Highness the Third Prince of our Beiji Kingdom!"
Lu Ping'an sneered and asked, "In other words, does Your Excellency think that I have imprisoned your prince?"
Wei Zheng said coldly: "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, as long as you can return the three princes to the Beiji Kingdom, we will no longer pursue this matter in the Beiji Kingdom!"
"Your Excellency's words are really interesting, you said that the Beiji Kingdom will no longer pursue this matter, that is to say, there are other things that you want to get along with my Tianyuan Sword Sect?" Lu Ping'an said bluntly.
He knew very well in his heart that the matter of the Taifeng Sword Sect could not be solved so easily.
What's more, Wei Zheng has the same surname as Wei Wuji and Wei Wuji, and the two sides must have a great relationship.
Although Gongliangwen personally admitted that he killed Wei Wuji and Wei Wuxian that day, Wei Zheng may not believe it.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, the worship of the Dongyu Imperial Court, Wei Zheng is not capable of moving.
Therefore, this account must be counted on the head of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
In this case, Lu Ping'an naturally had no need to be polite to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng replied very simply: "That's natural, Taifeng Mountain is the land of my Beiji Kingdom, you started a sect in my Beiji Country, but you don't know the court of Beiji Kingdom, what is your intention? Even if Your Majesty is magnanimous, the subjects of Beiji Kingdom will not agree!"
Lu Ping'an said: "If you say so, aren't you afraid that I will take the third prince as a hostage?"
"Forgive you for not having that guts!" Wei Zheng burst out with a terrifying aura as he spoke.
From this breath, Lu Ping'an could clearly feel that Wei Zheng was at least in the middle of the Holy Spirit Realm. If you really make a move, you really won't be an opponent.
However, he also understood that Wei Zheng didn't dare to make a move in the Tianyuan Sword Sect at will, after all, there was a garrison of Dongyu Kingdom under the mountain.
Otherwise, Wei Zheng would not have come to negotiate with him with a pleasant face.
Lu Ping'an asked with a smile: "What, General Wei is planning to do something with Lu?"
Wei Zheng said coldly: "Give you half a cup of tea, if you don't hand over the third prince, don't blame me for being polite!"
Lu Ping'an asked, "How is it a polite method?"
Wei Zheng said: "Chickens and dogs are not left!"
Lu Ping'an was shocked, but quickly regained his composure, and said: "Presumably, General Wei should know better than me, why did you three princes come to Tianyuan Sword Sect, if you really do it here, aren't you afraid that after he becomes the emperor, he will deal with your Wei family?"
Indeed, this point can be regarded as poking Wei Zheng's heart.
He was not afraid of the defenders of the Dongyu Kingdom under the mountain, even if the Dongyu Army killed him, he would have a way to get out.
The main reason why he was so polite to Lu Ping'an was that he was afraid of offending the third prince.
The most important reason why the Wei family was able to cover the sky in the Beiji Kingdom was because of the emperor's support. If you offend the future emperor, the Wei family will fall sooner or later.
However, if he can't bring the three princes back to Beiji Kingdom today, he will inevitably lose the trust of the current emperor of Beiji Kingdom.
In this case, he had no choice, and said with a gloomy face: "Finally, I warn you again, if you don't hand over the people again, you won't blame me for being polite!"
