Chapter 188 Rich Family
"You two distinguished guests, please."

A young servant appeared from behind the vermilion lacquered gate and looked fawning when he saw Lu Yu and Lu Shanshan coming.

Lu Yu was still smiling.

"I haven't seen Sister Jiang for quite some time."

Lu Shanshan had long been numb to her unruly brother, and walked straight over the threshold and into the house.

Of course, the young servant did not dare to respond. He just politely led the two of them through a group of pavilions and waterside terraces, and finally came to an elegant pavilion.

Although Huanglongfu is in the northern border, this place feels like being in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The gurgling water under the pavilion brings a cool breeze, so you don’t feel stuffy even in the hot summer.

There are not many houses decorated like this in the North.

Soon, a six-foot-tall woman wearing a short sweater and a neat high ponytail strode into the pavilion.

When Lu Shanshan saw the woman appear, she bowed and said, "Sister Jiang."

The woman was not as gentle as the women from wealthy families. Instead, she clasped her fists and said, "Sister Lu."

Lu Yu: "Sister Jiang, it feels like a long time since we last met. When we meet today, Sister Jiang is still as beautiful as ever."

The woman surnamed Jiang did not give Lu Yu a chance to continue praising her. She raised her right foot and kicked out.

Lu Yu leaned to the right and just avoided the kick.

Lu Yu is now an entry-level martial artist, and he broke through after reaching the limit of blood refining. However, that woman was able to touch the corner of Lu Yu's clothes with just a casual kick. Her strength is extremely impressive.

Lu Shanshan decisively ignored her ungentlemanly brother: "Sister Jiang, why are you here at Huanglong Mansion?"

The woman surnamed Jiang did not hide anything: "I came here for the Divine Palace."

After hearing what the woman said, although Lu Yu still looked playful on the surface, he felt nervous inside.

Because the power behind this woman is not simple.

The person in Huanglong Mansion that made him feel wary was naturally not the stupid old man from the Seven Star Sect, but the woman in front of him.

This woman surnamed Jiang is actually not from Lingzhou, but from Jiangnan, so the house is decorated like this.

It's just that her father has a good relationship with his general, and the woman in front of her has only lived in the Lingzhou general's mansion for a few years.

The woman's name was Jiang Yan. Although her name was Yan, which meant smiling sweetly, she had a fierce aura as if she came from a military family.

But when she thought of her grandfather, everything became normal again.

Jiang Yan's grandfather was the Minister of War Jiang Taizhen who had retired and returned to his hometown, and his father was the third-rank General Weiyuan of the Zhenbei Army, whose rank was even higher than that of his father, a third-rank general.

You have to treat it with caution.

A military family like the Jiang Yan family is much more prominent than a family like the Lu family where the highest-ranking officer is a general.

If his father had not been in touch with the old minister because of Jiang Yan's father, he would not have been promoted to the position of general so quickly.

Jiang Yan: "Does your father have any arrangements?"

Lu Yu said seriously, "My father ordered my brother and I to find Murong Tian, ​​the leader of the Shenfu Sect. Only with Murong Tian's blood can we open the Shenfu Sect."

There was surprise in Jiang Yan's eyes.

She had left Lingzhou and joined Zhenbei Army two years ago. This time she came back because she received an order from her father to come to Huanglong Mansion to search for the Divine Palace with the Lu family.

But she didn't expect that the Divine Palace would be connected to the blood of one person.

This kind of thing is really rare.

Lu Yu: "These are all my father's words, and every word is true."

Jiang Yan: "Since it is the words of the general, I will naturally believe it."

This trip was originally decided by her father after he met with the general in Zhenbei Army, so she naturally had no need to doubt it.

Lu Yu resumed his flattering look: "With Sister Lu taking action, the Divine Palace will surely be easily captured."

Jiang Yan narrowed her eyes slightly: "You'd better speak like you did when you were in Zhenbei Army, otherwise I really can't help but chop you to death."

"All listen to Captain Jiang."

Lu Yu looked helpless.

Lu Shanshan looked at the two of them curiously. She originally thought that Lu Yu and Jiang Yan did not have much contact. After all, Lu Yu was just an illegitimate child and had hardly met Jiang Yan in Lingzhou.

Now it seems that the two should have had many opportunities to meet when they were in the Zhenbei Army.

In fact, Lu Yu performed very well in the Zhenbei Army, and was promoted to the position of a centurion based on his outstanding military achievements.

Otherwise, given his previous status in the Lu family, how could his father, the general, give him such a good job in Huanglong Mansion?

He and Jiang Yan were both centurions and happened to guard the same area, so it was natural that they had a lot of interactions.

The three of them discussed the details of searching for Murong Tian.

Only then did Lu Yu and his sister Lu Shanshan leave the Jiang Mansion.

Not long after the two left.

A man with ordinary appearance walked out from the corner of the Jiang Mansion's wall.

It was Bai Yuan in disguise.

Bai Yuan's original appearance could only be described as handsome, and now after his disguise, he looked like a face that could not be found on the street.

The reason why he appeared here was of course to spy on Lu Yu's information.

"I didn't expect that he was the son of Lingzhou's general!"

Bai Yuan frowned.

With his almost abnormal hearing ability for monster hunting, he heard the conversation between three people in the house from hundreds of meters away.

In fact, Jiang Yan had done it very secretly, but Bai Yuan had a cheat.
He had long guessed that Lu Yu's identity was not simple, but he did not expect that he was actually the biological son of General Lu Xiao.

Bai Yuan was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to kill Lu Yu. This way, he could earn strengthening points and the general could experience the pain of losing his son, killing two birds with one stone.

In the end, he decided to hold off for now. Knowing Lu Yu well, he was not sure he could kill him with one strike.

He disappeared into the street.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Yongfu Inn.

When he walked into the inn, Hu Ben's eye-catching huge figure was sitting in a corner of the inn, with a few snacks on the table.

Hu Ben was holding a big bowl and drinking happily.

Bai Yuan walked to the seat opposite Hu Ben's table, picked up a piece of braised beef and started eating.

Although they had no shortage of daily necessities in the Shiwan Mountains, it was not abundant, and it was impossible to find wine.

Hu Ben hadn't seen Jiu Xing'er for a month, so he started drinking heavily.

He put down his wine bowl.

"Baishui, what did you do just now?"

Bai Yuan is so famous now that he changed his name to Bai Shui after changing his appearance.

"I met an acquaintance."

Bai Yuan said calmly.

Seeing that Bai Yuan was unwilling to say more, Hu Ben did not ask any more questions and just drank eighteen bowls of wine.

Now Bai Yuan is the leader of Shenfu Sect, he only needs to obey orders.

Another reason why Hu Ben was only willing to be the leader of the Gang Camp was that he didn't want to use his brain.

As the commander of a battalion, all you have to do is lead your brothers to fight, but if you become a deputy commander, there will be too many headaches.

I saw that after Liu Li became the deputy commander, his hair was not as thick as before.

Hu Ben's three generations of ancestors were all bald, and he didn't want to end up like that.

Bai Yuan ate his food and drank wine at the same time.

People who practice martial arts don't have the ability to fast, so of course they need to eat. At most they can endure more hunger than ordinary people.

Bai Yuan did not want to involve too many forces when opening up the trade route.

After all, the current Shenfu Sect is not suitable to appear in public.

Otherwise, the Lingzhou Army stationed on the Thirteen Peaks of Shenfu Gate would definitely not give up the military merit that was delivered to them.

Although many forces came to Huanglong Mansion, not many of them could afford to support Shenfu Sect.

The Lu Family and the Seven Stars Sect do have this kind of strength, but Bai Yuan doesn't want to have too much contact with them for the time being.

I can only settle for the next best thing.
After some thought, Bai Yuan finally decided to target the Lingchang Changhe Gang.

The Changhe Gang is considered a pretty good force in Lingzhou. Although the gang leader is not well-known, he is very powerful and has a wide range of connections, and he dares to do any business.

It is a good partner for cooperation.

The Changhe Gang’s base in Huanglongfu is of course in East City, and their business is not limited to either meat or vegetables, including martial arts gyms, restaurants, brothels, and casinos. They do everything that can make money.

Judging from the way the Changhe Gang is doing, it won’t be long before the entire Huanglong Prefecture will be covered by their assets.

In fact, for those big sects, these good opportunities in the eyes of the world are no longer attractive to them.

Only elixirs, monster meat, and martial arts techniques are hard currency.

The sect that can control these three businesses is the sect with profound heritage.

But these three businesses have long been monopolized by the biggest forces, and even the Changhe Gang has no chance to intervene.

The Changhe Gang is so huge that there is not even a master of alchemy.

High-grade spiritual medicines can only be purchased with money, which is almost equivalent to working for forces like the Seven Star Sect.

Two men, one tall and one short, appeared at the entrance of Changhe Martial Arts School, which belonged to the Changhe Gang.

The guard of the martial arts hall stood up and stopped him: "What are you doing here?"

The short man said, "Ask your owner to come out. We have business."

The guard of the martial arts gym sneered: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to see the owner?"

The tall man didn't let him off. He grabbed the guard of the martial arts gym with a pair of hands that were bigger than a palm-leaf fan and threw him aside casually as if he were a chicken.

The two of them walked into Changhe Martial Arts School in such a swagger.

Nie Dao, the owner of Changhe Martial Arts School, who was drinking tea in the house, heard the noise outside and suddenly stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

The first thing I saw was a group of martial arts school disciples lying on the ground wailing, and two men, one tall and one short.

"Who are you?"

Nie Dao was able to be the owner of a martial arts school, so he naturally had sufficient experience in the martial arts world. He could tell at a glance that the other party was unusual, so he did not choose to take action immediately.

The short man said, "Do business with the Changhe Gang."

Nie Dao frowned: "Business?"

He originally thought that it was the enemies of the Changhe Gang who came to kick the door, but he didn't expect that they were here to do business.

Looking at the martial arts apprentice who was still wailing on the ground, is there anyone who would beat someone up before doing business?
However, Nie Dao still remained patient: "In that case, please come in."

He brought the two people who broke into the martial arts hall into the hall.

After the three of them sat down, Nie Dao slowly spoke: "I wonder what business you two want to do?"

He was indeed very curious about what kind of business the two were making such a big fuss about.

The short man smiled slightly: "I can provide you with elixirs."

Hearing the word "magic medicine", Nie Dao stood up abruptly and stared at the short man.

After a long time, he spoke: "Brother, are you serious?!"
