How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 22

[22.Chapter 22 Banquet]

Lu Qian took the two gold-gilded invitations and opened them.

The first one is from Zhou Hongyuan, inviting him to have dinner at Yunxiang Pavilion tonight and congratulating him on his promotion to the Gang Qi Realm.

The other one is from Baili Kuang, which is also to congratulate him for breaking through the Gang Qi realm, and the location is in Jiuxian Tower. It’s also tonight.

“Sir, these two people sent invitations at the same time, which one should you make an appointment with?”

Sun Hei asked with his hands in hand.

Going to Zhou Hongyuan’s place means not giving Baili Kuang face, and similarly, going to Baili Kuang’s Jiuxian Tower means slapping Zhou Hongyuan in the face.

This is not easy to handle!

“The person who sent the invitation hasn’t left yet?” Lu Qian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

“Not leaving.”

“Okay, go and tell them that tonight, I will host a banquet at Tianxian Tower to entertain three distinguished guests, Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Baili Kuang. We will wait for you at You hour and sit down at Xu hour. In the meantime, you can go down and give Zhang a gift. Please send the invitation to Xie Anping at Xie Mansion.”

Lu Gan smiled coldly and returned the invitation to Sun Hei.

Sun Hei was a little confused by these words: “Mr. Lu, what are you…”

“Shen Zishuang, Zhou 11, 12, and 13 are new here. They have to get to know these three local snakes, so as not to worry about them in the future. I’m unfamiliar. By the way, I’ll play a show for Xie Anping.”

Lu Qian said with a smile.

“Yes.”

Sun Hei nodded and turned around to return the invitation without asking any more questions.

Immediately, Lu Gan came to Shen Zishuang’s attic.

Before he knocked on the door, Aunt Lan’s soft voice came to his ears: “Master Lu, come in, the door is unlocked.”

“Okay.”

Lu Qian did not shy away and pushed the door open directly.

In the attic, Aunt Lan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly practicing.

She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Qian: “Why did Master Lu come here this time?”

“I want to ask senior to rob a prison.”

Lu Qian didn’t waste any nonsense. After sitting down, he directly stated his purpose.

“Jail robbery?”

Aunt Lan frowned, with a look of doubt on her face.

Lu Gan nodded: “Yes! At midnight tomorrow, senior only needs to smash the thick wall of the Zhenfu Prison with one palm and kidnap a prisoner inside. I will take care of the rest.”

“What do you mean? “

After hearing this, Aunt Lan frowned even more tightly, and a look of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Obviously she felt that Lu Gan was cheating her.

“It’s nothing interesting. This is just a part of my plan to destroy Xie Anping.” Lu Qian smiled slightly, with a frank look on his face.

“No!” Aunt Lan flatly refused.

She always thought it was weird.

How can there be a police officer looking for someone to rob his prison? There’s something weird here! In addition, her identity is the elder of the Jianyun Sect. Once the prison robbery is exposed, the Jianyun Sect may be implicated.

Lu Qian guessed what she was afraid of and said with a smile: “Senior, don’t worry, this matter will not involve the Jianyun Sect. Many prison robberies happen every year, and the Zhenfu Division has long been used to it, so no one will doubt it. “

It’s still not possible!”

Aunt Lan refused again with a cold face.

She has seen clearly that this kid Lu Qian is as clever as an old fox who has been practicing for thousands of years. His words cannot be believed!

At this time, Lu Gan leaned back in his chair and smiled meaningfully: “Senior, Shen Zishuang will stay with me for a long time. When will she marry His Highness the Crown Prince?”

“Why do you ask this?”

Aunt Lan’s heart skipped a beat. .

“It’s nothing, I asked in advance and prepared a gift.” Lu Gan shook his head and chuckled, stood up and prepared to leave.

“Speak clearly before you leave!”

Aunt Lan flashed and appeared in front of Lu Gan like a ghost, with a solemn look on her face.

It even exudes a hint of Feitian realm aura.

Lu Gan smiled slightly: “Logically speaking, since Shen Zishuang has been working under me for a while, I should also write an observation report to His Royal Highness. Senior, don’t worry, I have such a good relationship with Shen Zishuang, I will put in a few good words for her Maybe this report will finally be submitted to His Majesty’s papers. When the time comes, Longyan will be delighted and will reward Zishuang with thousands of acres of fertile land, thousands of taels of gold, and thousands of faces…”

“You!” Aunt Lan’s eyes lit up when she heard this. Shrinking, his expression suddenly became cold, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut Lu Gan in front of him into pieces.

This is a threat!

That’s right. This is a threat!

Lu Gan smiled calmly and let the woman in blue robe’s knife-like gaze pierce his face.

That’s it, the two looked at each other for a long time.

Lu Qian did not retreat at all, and was as thick-skinned as a city wall.

Finally, Aunt Lan narrowed her eyes and said word by word: “If I guessed correctly, the prison robbery is your private matter.”

“Yes.”

Lu Qian nodded and admitted readily.

“Hmph! I won’t do it next time!” Aunt Lan snorted coldly and raised her fingers: “Now, get out!”

“Okay!”

Lu Qiangong cupped his hands without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the door.

Before he had taken a few steps, a hurricane came directly from behind and knocked him out of the attic. Thanks to his proficiency in movement skills, Gang Qi exploded, his feet staggered a few times, and his body was spinning like golden light, able to stabilize his figure.

Looking back, I found that the door was closed.

“I have offended a master of the Feitian Realm, and the price is so high. I hope that tiger seal can give me a surprise. However, if you offend me, you will offend me. As a tool, I can use it once.”

Lu Qian said deeply .

After looking at the door for a few times, he turned around, flicked his cloak, and walked towards the prison.

About half an hour later, he walked out of the prison and happened to meet Sun Hei who had returned.

“Sir, the invitation has been sent out. Xie Anping said he would arrive on time.” Sun Hei bowed his hands in greeting.

“Zhou Hongyuan, where is Baili Kuang?”

Lu Gan nodded and asked.

“Zhou Hongyuan, Baili Kuang’s butler accepted the invitation, hesitated for a while, and then agreed.” Sun Hei replied.

“Haha, there’s a good show tonight. Three old foxes get together, it’s exciting to think about. By the way, is there any movement from the county magistrate?”

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

This morning he crippled a Xuanhuang Sect disciple, and also beat and humiliated Master Wei, the county magistrate’s nephew, for no reason.

Sun Hei nodded solemnly: “Yes! There is a Molin horse that has just left the city gate and rushed towards the county seat.”

“Did you really go to complain?”

Lu Gan smiled coldly when he heard this, thought a few times, and waved his hand. He said: “Then ignore him for the time being. After the Sheriff punishes him, Mr. Li Feng, the Governor, will naturally block it for me.”

“Yes, that subordinate is going to patrol.”

“Yeah! Go.”

Then, the two The people dispersed, and Lu Gan continued to practice in the yard.

At this time, Lady Ji had already washed his clothes and hung them to dry next to the swing in the backyard.

The two of them got along peacefully without disturbing each other.

Nothing special happened in the county. Sun Hei would naturally handle some minor disputes.

Soon, the sky became dark, and a golden moon hung in the sky early.

Lu Gan put on his armor, wore a golden snake sword, and hid a broadsword. When he walked to Lady Ji’s yard next to him, he saw Lady Ji playing jigsaw puzzle with her daughter.

“I won’t be having dinner at the Zhenfu Division tonight. You can eat by yourself.”

“Yes, do you want to prepare a late-night snack for your Excellency? The mung bean and white jade cakes from the slave family are very delicious.” Madam Ji saw Lu Qian appear, He quickly stood up and saluted.

The girl on the side also stood up obediently, as if seeing the teacher’s student.

The big black eyes reflected brightly under the candlelight.

“It’s up to you.”

Lu Qian thought for a moment, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

When they arrived at the gate of Zhenfu Division, Sun Hei, Shen Zishuang, Zhou Eleven, Zhou Twelve, and Zhou Thirteen had been waiting for a long time.

“Sir!”

When everyone saw him, they immediately saluted.

Only Shen Zishuang’s voice revealed a guilty conscience, and she did not dare to look directly at Lu Qian.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Gan jumped on his horse and waved his hand.

drive!

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

The sound of horse hoofbeats started, and a group of six people galloped out, facing the cold evening wind, and rushed to the Tianxian Tower.

At this time, in the Tianxian Tower, there was a gorgeous and exquisite room in a bamboo forest.

A beautiful woman in yellow clothes was standing solemnly in front of a fat middle-aged man in yellow silk clothes.

This middle-aged man has a dignified appearance and a kind smile, like a spring breeze. He is very approachable. At first glance, he looks like a wealthy man who is willing to do good.

However, this person is actually Xie Anping, the smiling tiger that everyone in Shashui County knows. He controls all the gambling stalls in Shashui County, underground martial arts, cockfighting, dog fighting, and other dark businesses. He has a huge fortune and is ruthless.

What’s even more astonishing is that he himself is a master of the Gang Qi realm and has opened as many as twenty acupoints.

“Mrs. Yu, what do you think Lu Qian means by hosting a banquet tonight?” Xie Anping turned the gold-patterned jade cup in his hand, raised his head and asked with a smile.

“To be honest, I can’t guess it.” The beautiful woman in Huang Shang shook her head slightly and frowned slightly.

“Haha, I can’t guess it either.” Xie Anping laughed and sighed.

“How could it be? The master has a keen mind and can see into people’s hearts. How can a mere young man not see through it?” The beautiful woman in Huang Shang said with a smile.

“It’s true.” Xie Anping squinted his eyes, looked slightly condensed, and said slowly: “This Lu Gan is so contradictory, I really can’t see through it! When I think about facing him in the future, I actually have I have the urge to escape from Shashui County. “Haha, Mrs. Yu, do you think I am old?”

As soon as this sentence came out, the beautiful woman Huang Shang’s pupils shrank and she was shocked.
