Chapter 523: Elect General 2
Wu Qiutian chuckled and waved his hand again and again: "I don't mean to threaten you in the slightest, threatening your own big housekeeper, that's not what a wise family master would do." I just wanted to tell you that I was able to make you and that kid break through to the True Spirit Realm, and that your longevity would increase by hundreds of thousands of years, and at the same time, you would be able to do even more. Millions of soldiers in Pingyang City will listen to you when the time comes, and you are the biggest person except me. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Qiutian's smile became more and more intense, and he felt like a bandit leader who was pulling his own team.
Lu Jiuli said: "Can I think about it?"
Wu Qiutian shrugged: "Of course it's no problem, it's the same as doing business, you and I want to." I'll be in the Chaos Spirit Realm for three years, and if you want to find me, you can come to me at any time. ”
After saying that, Wu Qiutian left, without the slightest drag.
Lu Jiuli pondered in his shop, this person is a new young talent on the mainland, can he bring what he wants? Although he said what he wanted, did he really have that energy?
The Chuiyun Continent is the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion has the final say, and Lu Jiuli, who asked himself if he was a smart person, was really a little uncertain for a while.
It's been so many years, it's not that he hasn't seen young talents, and there are not a few young heroes who died tragically in the end, don't look at the current scenery called Wu Qiutian, how long can his scenery last?
The young man who can serve as the general of Pingyang has military merits, and he can be recognized by at least some people in the Praetorian Guard, and at the same time, the chief steward Mu Suiyu and Hou Ye also reached an agreement to give him this position.
Can he really become the mainstay of the Hou Mansion like the chief steward?
It was night, Lu Jiuli went out, at the third watch, except for the drunken monk on the road, he couldn't find anyone else, and came to the familiar wooden door, which was newly painted with red paint and exuded fragrance.
He put his hand on the knocker of the door, hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.
After a while, there was a noise inside, and a woman opened the door through a crack, and after a glance, she closed the door directly: "What are you doing here, aren't you hurting our family badly enough!"
Although this is the Chaos Spirit Realm, this woman is still very vigilant, whether she doesn't close her door at night, or she doesn't leave her road behind, they are the widows of the guards, so they have to be careful.
Lu Jiuli's voice was dry: "Cuihua, I know that since he was killed by me, your life has not been good, and no one is willing to teach Da Niu, this time I want to ask, if someone is willing to teach Da Niu and let Da Niu become a True Spirit Realm monk, are you willing to forgive me." ”
The widow Cuihua was already about to leave inside, and when she heard Lu Jiuli's words, she stopped and asked, "What you said is true?"
Lu Jiuli said: "After so many years, when have I ever lied to you, really, General Wu, the guard of Pingyang City, needs a housekeeper, and somehow he fell in love with my habit of being unrelenting, and was ready to let me go to Pingyang City." I didn't agree to his request, he said that if I was willing to agree to his request, let me return to the True Spirit Realm, and at the same time there was a way for Da Niu to reach the True Spirit Realm. ”
The door was opened, and it was not the widow Cuihua who opened it, but a young man who was strong and dark.
Seeing Lu Jiuli, the young man called Uncle Jiu, and then let Lu Jiuli in.
The door was grabbed by Cuihua: "Da Niu, have you forgotten that he is the murderer of your father?
The young man scratched his head and said honestly: "Mother, Uncle Nine has been helping us for so many years, after my father died, you will know your own face, it is Uncle Nine who has found countless elixirs, so that you have the appearance of a normal person, Uncle Nine has abandoned his cultivation, a master of the Jade Void Upper Realm has become an ordinary person who is not even in the True Spirit Realm, and the golden crystals he gave him alone have been piled up in the cellar for so many years, aren't these enough?"
Cuihua pursed her lips, clenched her teeth, and didn't know how to tell her son.
Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Jiuli's atonement for so many years is indeed enough.
But in Cuihua's opinion, it is far from enough, because, no matter how many gold crystals Lu Jiuli gives and how much Lu Jiuli does for her, it is impossible to save the life of that honest young man. Back then, her husband was a simple young man, and Lu Jiuli was a staff member of the Hou Mansion.
Lu Jiuli said: "Da Niu, don't talk to your mother like this, for so many years, your mother has pulled you to grow up, for the sake of this family, it is really not easy." Cuihua, as long as you promise to forgive me, I will immediately agree to General Wu's request to go to Pingyang City to be a housekeeper, and work hard. ”
Da Niu looked at Cuihua expectantly.
Cuihua kept pursing her lips, but she didn't let go.
Is Lu Jiuli really unworthy of forgiveness?
A figure muttered in the dark, frowning tightly and tiptoe a little on the ground, before flying into Cuihua's house.
Seeing the comer, Da Niu looked vigilant: "Who are you!"
The figure looked at Lu Jiuli and nodded slightly: "Mr. Lu, it turns out that there are so many hidden secrets in the middle, but I don't know, it seems that this Cuihua sister-in-law didn't tell the truth to Wu today!"
After confirming that the two sides knew each other, Da Niu's eyes were a lot less vigilant, but he still guarded his mother tightly. is such a big person, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, just because he knows his mother's hard work for so many years.
Lu Jiuli's face was full of bitterness, these things were his secrets, and he didn't want people to know, but what he never expected was that it was the young General Pingyang who came to follow him.
Cuihua also felt incredulous, she didn't expect that the person who came to see her during the day to ask about Lu Jiuli's situation turned out to be the general who won the victory in Pingyang City as Lu Jiuli said.
Da Niu asked happily: "You are the Wu general who killed millions of Mo Yuwei in Pingyang City and protected the Chuiyun Continent?"
Wu Qiutian smiled: "It's like a fake." ”
After leaving Lu Jiuli's shop, he secretly came back, and he had been secretly monitoring Lu Jiuli, he didn't believe that the relationship between Lu Jiuli and the widow would be so simple. If it was really that simple, I was afraid that the conditions he gave would not be able to impress Lu Jiuli at all.
Sure enough, as he guessed, there was a greasy relationship between Lu Jiuli and the widow.
"Da Niu, are you willing to go to Pingyang City with me to be a soldier? Within a hundred years, I will let you enter the True Spirit Realm. Wu Qiutian looked at the young man in front of him who was shining with a blazing light in his eyes, and asked seriously.
Da Niu nodded again and again: "I am willing, I am willing, of course I am willing." ”
Wu Qiutian turned his head with a smile and looked at Lu Jiuli, hoping that he would give an answer.
But Cuihua brutally grabbed her son's hand: "Don't go, I won't let you go, I will never forgive him." ”
"Sister-in-law Cuihua, I don't know if you can tell Wu a certain Central Committee?" Wu Qiutian asked abruptly.
He wanted to know the answer, he didn't want to be defeated.
Cuihua refused to tell him that she didn't even want to mention this past that had been buried in her heart for many years.
Anyway, there was no hurry, Wu Qiutian just stood by him, waiting for Cuihua to reply. With his identity, if it weren't for Lu Jiuli's relationship with Cuihua, he wouldn't need to say so many good things to Cuihua.
In the Chaos Spirit Domain, what Xiaoyao Hou cares about is the lives of monks above the True Spirit Realm, the lives of these ordinary people, not to mention that Hou Ye will not care, even the chief steward will not care.
Da Niu couldn't stand the embarrassment of this silence, and took the initiative to say: "Mother, what is going on between you and Uncle Jiu? Why did Uncle Jiu kill my father back then? I don't know everything, you refuse to say, and you refuse to let me ask Uncle Jiu, I have grown up now, I really want to know what happened back then!"
In the face of her son's questioning, Cuihua really couldn't hide it anymore, but she didn't want to say it.
In the end, it was Lu Jiuli who said: "Since you want to know, I'll tell you! Back then, your mother and I were childhood sweethearts, and I was obsessed with cultivation, and I wanted to become a staff member recruited by the Hou Mansion on the Chuiyun Continent, so I ignored your mother."
The boy is 100 years old, and he has reached the stage of starting a career, so I will ask your mother to wait for me, and once I leave, it will be 30 years.
Your grandfather married your mother to the blacksmith in the village, and by the time I returned, you were already in your infancy.
I wanted to kill your father, but your mother knelt down in front of me and pleaded, and finally dispelled my thoughts.
I entered the Hou Mansion as I wished, became a staff member of the Hou Mansion, and cultivated to rise steadily, which also made my status in the Hou Mansion gradually rise. The Pioneer General of the Earth Guard, a position that is not low, is enough for me to bring some family members into the Chaos Spirit Domain.
After entering the spiritual realm, your father's cultivation speed has also improved by leaps and bounds, and at that time, I thought that one day your mother would return to me, who would have thought that she would follow the blacksmith with all her heart.
Once when I was drunk, your father, the lieutenant, did not know how to contradict me, and I asked him to leave your mother with the strength of the wine, but not only did he not leave, but he also said that I was a negative man.
In a fit of rage, I killed your father.
When your mother found out about this, she didn't say a word to hug you, and she hasn't paid any attention to me since. She didn't pay any attention to me until I quit my job as a janissary, knelt down in front of your house, and opened a small shop with the help of the Praetorian guards.
Tonight, for the first time in hundreds of years, we are speaking. ”
Lu Jiuli was relieved after speaking, the hidden worries that had been hidden in his heart for many years finally had an outlet for catharsis, no matter what, what happened back then was his own fault, he thought that Da Niu would beat him out of control, but Da Niu didn't, and even Cuihua didn't say anything.
Wu Qiutian patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Lu, your debt has been paid off, sister-in-law Cuihua, I don't care what you think in your heart, since your son is willing to follow me, he is my person, and Mr. Lu is also my person, so I hope you think clearly." ”
