I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 117 Lu and Song "come together naturally" (please subscribe)
After Lu Jing finished discussing matters with Lord Zhang, he went out for a drink with Song Yuheng, Hu Butang and the others.

The best restaurant in Lin'an City is called Menghualou. Most people need to book a table in advance to dine here.

Although Lu Jing was already an almighty supernatural being, his reputation was among demons, Japanese pirates, and sea pirates, but not among ordinary people. Therefore, when he arrived at Menghua Tower to book a private room, he had to rely on Hu Butang's face.

Of course, Lu Jing would still pay.

Today, Lu Jing’s wealth is already quite impressive.

Even Lu Jing didn't know how much money he had now.

Anyway, he couldn't spend it all if he spent it normally, so Lu Jing didn't care about how much money he had.

For ordinary practitioners, even if they become supernatural powers, they are not short of money, but the precious marrow, elixir, and spiritual materials needed for cultivation are all worth a fortune. Therefore, although many supernatural powers are not short of money, they are still very short of money.

Therefore, they often cooperate with local government offices, aristocratic families, or directly perform for them.

But more people with supernatural powers would still choose to serve in the court of Dayu.

After all, they are a lot of official documents, so it is easier to plunder them.

Even the aristocratic families would give them some face.

During the previous emperor's reign, there were countless powerful people who were in office but doing nothing, and who were corrupt and embezzling money. However, after Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao came to power, this trend was suppressed to a considerable extent.

Some of those who were truly guilty of unforgivable crimes were arrested by the Tokugawa Regency and then sent to the "death row camps" in the northeast, northwest and other places to fight on the battlefields.

Those whose cases were not too serious were demoted several levels and sent to the front lines to eliminate demons.

As for whether the imperial court is afraid that they will defect...

In this world where supernatural powers abound, the higher-ups have plenty of ways to make these criminal officials suffer a fate worse than death, and everything is under their control.

But Lu Jing is different from them.

The true essence of life is extracted by the inner world. You only need to dissect the monster and take out the elixir to get enough nutrients.

Then, the experience gained from killing monsters can be used to deduce the progress of cultivation...

The existence of "Cultivating the Tao with One's Body" and the experience panel has greatly reduced Lu Jing's dependence on external things.

But if there is external support, Lu Jing will undoubtedly become stronger and his cultivation speed will be faster.

But most of the time Lu Jing doesn’t need to spend money to buy it, the proceeds from killing monsters are enough.

So Lu Jing, who had no shortage of money, said in a bold voice at Menghua Building: "Everyone, have fun, I'll pay for tonight."

Hu Butang laughed loudly and said, "Then I will not be polite. I heard that the predecessor of Menghua Tower was Fanlou, which was built when Zhao's family moved south. Now the times have changed, so Fanlou, which moved south, was renamed Menghua. I don't know what glory the weak and cowardly Zhao's family has to dream about. But the Shoumei wine here is not ordinary!"

Hu Butang has had a lot of good news recently, and he looks very proud and happy. He seems to be ten years younger.

He waved his hand and said to the waiter, "Bring up sixty catties of Shoumei first! Also, bring up all the best dishes in the restaurant. Also call up the best singing girl here."

Sixty kilograms of Shoumei wine is not a lot.

Because Lu Jing sent people to call the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp.

More than thirty martial artists in the Lingyuan realm would not hesitate to drink even if sixty kilograms of Shoumei were added, let alone another sixty kilograms.

Moreover, the private rooms on the bottom floor of Menghua Building are almost the entire floor. It costs a lot of money to book the private rooms on the top floor alone, so thirty or forty people can have a drink here more than enough.

When all the soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp arrived, the leader, Old Wei with a curly beard, felt a little restrained when he saw Hu Butang was there too.

But Hu Butang laughed and said, "This time it's your Lieutenant General Lu who's hosting. I'm just here to have a drink. No need to be restrained! Drink as much as you want and have fun!"

In his early years, Hu Butang hung out with men in the army, especially the family army that fought against Japanese pirates and bandits.

Seeing so many soldiers coming again, Hu Butang even felt like he was dreaming back to the old days.

With the permission from Minister Hu, the men did not hesitate to drink.

He found Lu Jing and Hu Butang one by one and forced them to drink.

Although Hu Butang was a civil servant who followed the path of a dead god entering a temple, he did have some cultivation. It was not high, just his internal strength was perfect. But with this cultivation and the protection of his official career, he was still quite strong.

So I had a drink with this group of soldiers.

But it can only last for one round.

By the time the last Xianzhen Camp soldier finished toasting, Hu Butang's old face had turned red and his body was shaking a little.

But even in this situation, he did not forget to pave the way for Lu Jing: "Don't force me to drink! Don't force me to drink!"

Hu Butang stood by the table, holding a wine glass and pulling Lu Jing's hand as the singing girls sang and danced gracefully: "Tonight your Brigadier General Lu is the host! Get him drunk! I tell you, if you serve your Brigadier General Lu well today, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future!"

“You don’t know!”

"The imperial court will issue the document and the letter of appointment soon. Your Lieutenant General Lu will soar to the sky and become the governor!"

Oops! !

The soldiers present all opened their eyes wide, and their brains, already a little drunk, were working fast!

Some people just shook their heads and used their internal energy to expel the alcohol from their bodies.

What did they just hear?

General Lu is going to become the governor?
How long has it been?
Even if you get promoted right away, it can't be that fast, right?
Hu Butang started the fire for Lu Jing, but Lu Jing said frankly: "This is the official position I asked for from the court, and Zhang Gelao of the cabinet has indeed agreed!"

Wow! !

There was a sudden sound of people gasping in the private room on the top floor.

But Lu Jing quickly poured cold water on him, saying, "But the place of jurisdiction of the governor I requested is not in Dayu, but in Japan, far away overseas."

what?
These soldiers suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and they didn't understand why Lu Jing wanted to travel across the ocean to serve as the governor of that tiny and wild country of Japan.

The scene suddenly became strangely calm.

Song Yuheng was still puzzled and asked: "What are you thinking? You actually want to go to Japan?"

What's so good about that place!
The land is narrow and sparsely populated, and there are few resources and it is wild!
But Lu Jing said generously and righteously: "The Japanese in Japan have evil ambitions. They dare to bring disaster to our coastal areas with such a small country. If we leave it alone, the coastal areas of Dayu will surely suffer disasters in the future. For the sake of the people of the world, I want to solve the problem from the root! I will lead the officers and soldiers of Dayu directly to govern that small country!"

Song Yuheng rolled his eyes wildly!
Here again, here again!

This scoundrel is now a person with supreme supernatural powers, why is he still so pretentious?

Song Yuheng raised her hand and wanted to pinch the soft flesh on Lu Jing's waist, but she put her hand down just when it reached halfway in the air.

Things are different now. Lu Jing is no longer the small flag officer of Zhen'an Division.

He is now the lieutenant general of Yuhang Commandery, the captain of the Demon-Subduing Camp of Zhen'an Commandery, and the inspector of the Censorate! He is also a supreme supernatural being who shocked the world and stirred up the world!
It seemed inappropriate to pinch him as before.

Between her and this idiot...

It seems that the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

The little flag officer of the Luyang Zhen'an Division has now become a dragon leaping into the sky, and has become a person that she has to look up to. So Song Yuheng withdrew her hand, smiled slightly with a bit of loneliness, and said: "Everyone here is one of us, so don't use this official tone."

Lu Jing noticed Song Yuheng's actions and tone, but he didn't say much. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Song thinks I'm exaggerating, but these are actually my true feelings. But I also know that doing things depends not only on words, but also on money!"

"So! All the brothers who are willing to go with me, the brothers in the Xianzhen Camp will receive 40 taels of silver per month! The other brothers in the barracks, those in the Zhenqi Realm will receive 20 taels per month, those who have achieved great internal strength will receive 10 taels per month! Those who have achieved minor internal strength will receive 5 taels per month!"

Wow! !

The group of Xianzhen camp soldiers who had seemed a little disheartened just now suddenly widened their eyes again!
This monthly salary has tripled!

The salary that Dayu paid to the army was actually not much. Those who had achieved a small level of internal strength received one tael and five cents a month, those who had achieved a great level of internal strength received three taels and seven cents, those who were at the Zhenqi realm received only six taels and eight cents, and those who were at the Lingyuan realm received only eleven taels.

Most of the time they rely on charging into battle, being the first to take the lead, killing the enemy and cutting off their heads, and exchanging their lives for the money.

But Lu Jing waved his hand and increased their salary by three times!
But it's not over yet.

Lu Jing continued, "In the future, when we go on an expedition to Japan, any military reward will be tripled! If you follow me, Lu Jing, I can't guarantee anything else, but I guarantee that you will all get rich!"

Birds die for food, and people die for money!

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

So the cooling mood of these soldiers suddenly became hot again.

They all raised their wine bowls and toasted Lu Jing: "Master Lu! We men toast to you!"

As they spoke they drank it all.

Among the group, the bearded old Wei wiped his mouth and said in a deep voice: "In fact, even if you didn't say it just now, I would still be willing to go to Japan with you to kill the Japanese pirates. Wherever these Japanese pirates go, they are like locusts, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. There are also those old, weak, women and children who have been abused to death by them!"

"Although my hometown is not Yuhang, the Japanese pirates are not human beings, I will kill them!"

Lao Wei's remarks made many Lingyuan Realm masters present feel ashamed, and some even glared at Lao Wei with reproachful eyes.

It just shows that you are capable, right?

Lu Jing patted Lao Wei on the shoulder and said, "No problem! You can kill as many Japanese pirates as you want on the battlefield! But there is one thing! Military discipline must not be broken. If military discipline is broken..."

Lu Jing's cold eyes swept over the many soldiers present: "Lu kills monsters like butchering dogs, and killing people is not difficult at all."

When the supreme master's cold eyes swept over them, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

They immediately said seriously: "How dare you disobey Master Lu's military order!"

Lu Jing's expression brightened up, and then he smiled and asked everyone to sit down: "Good job, don't be so serious, come on! Let's continue drinking and having fun."

That night, Lu Jing and the Lingyuan Realm soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp had a great time drinking.

When it got dark, Lu Jing pulled everyone together and asked Meng Hualou to prepare the food and bring it to the camp outside the city. They sang and danced with the soldiers in the camp, drinking and eating meat.

That night, the camp outside the city was filled with the aroma of wine, and the soldiers sang joyfully until dawn.

In the end, Lu Jing got everyone in the camp drunk.

Let them experience the horror of the supreme supernatural power.

In the second half of the night, Lu Jing and Hu Butang left the camp together.

On the way back, Hu Butang shook his head to clear his mind and sighed, "Friend Lu, you were careless!"

Lu Jing drank a lot tonight, but the wine in his stomach was digested by the gentle circulation of his inner world, and then extracted into the essence of life and stored in his body. However, things like wine contain too little energy, and not much of the essence of life was extracted after drinking it all night. So even after drinking so much, Lu Jing was still conscious.

Then he heard Hu Butang continue to say: "You gave them too much military pay. The court can't allocate so much money."

Lu Jing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

Seeing Lu Jing so confident, Hu Bu Tang nodded and said, "That's good. I am already over 60 years old and I am only the governor of a province. And you have been the governor in less than two months! Your future career is limitless."

Lu Jing said seriously: "I have to thank Minister Hu for the promotion."

Hu Butang waved his hand: "I didn't promote you. You are a person with supreme magical powers. With such qualifications, your status is no less than that of the top three scholars. I can only say that we should get closer in the future. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me! I will definitely do my best!"

Lu Jing said firmly: "Of course!"

Hu Butang glanced at the drunk Song Yuheng lying on Lu Jing's horse, then smiled cunningly, "Take it. I have some important business to attend to, so I'll leave first!"

After saying this, the old man jumped on his horse and rode away.

How could Lu Jing not understand what Hu Butang's cunning smile meant?
Song Yuheng was indeed very attractive, especially her figure, which was as graceful as the waves of the sea. In addition, the two of them had an extraordinary friendship over the years, so it was impossible for Lu Jing not to be moved by her.

Lu Jing was of low rank before, and Song Yuheng looked like a man of prominent background and with a lot of stories.

So Lu Jing never thought about things that he shouldn’t have thought about.

But now...

He seemed qualified.

Lu Jing brought Song Yuheng back to the inn, carried her back to the bed in her own room, and sat on the edge of the bed. Lu Jing carefully looked at Song Yuheng's appearance, her beautiful and delicate features, her smooth skin... and her defenseless posture at the moment. Lu Jing's heart was pounding!

suddenly,

Song Yuheng opened her beautiful, slightly tipsy eyes, and with her red cheeks, her watery eyes were almost stringy.

She said softly, "Pocai, are you just going to keep watching like this?"

Lu Jing's breathing became heavier, but he still asked knowingly, "What else?"

Song Yuheng suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Lu Jing's collar. Her eyes became bold and unbridled. She half-raised her body and leaned in front of Lu Jing's face. Her breath smelled of wine: "You want me..."

How could a hot-blooded man like Lu Jing withstand such a straightforward and bold request from Song Yuheng?
He immediately pounced on her!

The two of them soon "come together"...

(…1368 words omitted here.)
……

The next day, Lu Jing felt particularly refreshed after being nourished by the rain and dew.

When he was going downstairs, he happened to run into Hu Butang who was practicing boxing in the yard. When he saw Lu Jing coming downstairs, Hu Butang said slowly while practicing boxing: "As expected of a supreme master, you are really fierce."

Lu Jing: "..."

Didn’t he use his true Qi to isolate himself from the noise inside and outside last night?
But Hu Butang smiled slyly and said, "The noise of the wooden bed being reassembled at the inn near dawn last night was unstoppable."

Lu Jing: "..."

This old thief!

Didn't sleep all night?!
