How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 378

[378. Chapter 378 Rear Soldiers]

After the extreme silence, a commotion broke out.

The guests present were extremely shocked. They stood up and looked around:

“The map of the Great You Treasure House?!”

“Is it true? If it is true, then this birthday gift is too heavy!”

“This brave king is too generous, it doesn’t look like it at all.

He

is so stingy and stingy as the rumors say.

“Shocking! Shocking! This is something that countless warriors dream of!”

Rich? “

…

Countless people looked at the jade box on the table, their eyes glowing green, ready to make a move.

However, no one dares to have evil thoughts. This is a birthday gift for Mr. Cai. Anyone who dares to snatch it will probably be turned into rubbish.

Cai Zhenqing was also shocked.

But he was old and smart, and his brain worked very fast. He gave the housekeeper a look and laughed: “This birthday gift from the Brave King is so heavy that I feel so profound that I shed tears! But I am just a man who is idle at home. Old man, how can you possess this thing? Please ask the brave king to put it away!”

After saying this, the old man burst into tears and bowed deeply to Lu Qian.

At the same time, the butler in white quickly walked out from behind the table, holding the jade box in both hands, and handed it to Lu Qian with great respect.

“Hey! What Mr. Cai said is wrong!”

Lu Qian did not take back the jade box. He slightly cupped his hand and said with great admiration: “Mr. Cai has governed Youzhou for decades. It is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Such a great contribution It’s just a treasure map, so what’s the harm in accepting it?”

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhenqing’s face changed slightly.

This is flattery!

“The Brave King thinks too highly of me! Youzhou is what it is today, all thanks to your Majesty!”

He bowed again, almost burying himself in the ground: “Your Majesty, your Majesty’s divine civilization, holy martial arts, great talent and great strategy, determine the destiny of the mountains and rivers. Create a peaceful and prosperous era! The people of Youzhou are all devoted to virtue! Because of this, I have only done my little bit! I have no shame in accepting this gift! Please take it back!

” At this scene, everyone present sighed in their hearts. Mr. Cai and the brave king really respected each other and felt like old friends at the first sight.

But some people’s expressions became solemn, and they could already see the open and hidden arrows, the flash of swords and the shadows between the two people’s verbal exchanges.

This brave king Lu Qian… is here to kick things off!

Can ordinary people collect the map of Dayou Treasure House?

cannot!

The Dayou treasure house contains countless gold, magical weapons, armor, and secret elixirs, which are used by the Dayou royal family to restore the country.

This thing can only be returned to the national treasury. No one can steal it privately. If you dare to take it, you have ulterior motives. You are either a remnant of Dayou, or you want to establish a country and rebel.

Whichever one is the most serious crime against the nine tribes!

In other words, Lu Qian came here to celebrate his birthday with murderous intentions!

After thinking about all this, everyone in the Cai family present felt a chill in their hearts, and looked at Lu Gan with a hint of hostility.

But they were not too afraid.

In Youzhou, the four noble clans Cai Ye and Li Yue have lived for more than two thousand years, and their influence has penetrated into all aspects of Youzhou. Lu Gan brought a few people here and wanted to touch them. It was a bit arrogant. .

Back then, when Dayou Imperial Envoy came with a hundred thousand Shenlin Army, didn’t he run away in despair and end up being poisoned and dead without any descendants?

At this time, Lu Qianqing laughed and took back the jade box in the butler’s hand: “Since Mr. Cai is so humble and polite, I won’t force it! I will take back this map of the Great Nether Treasure House! However, this second Mr. Cai must accept this birthday gift! Otherwise, he will not give me face, and I will go crazy!”

“May I ask the brave king, what is this second birthday gift…”

Cai Zhenqing’s heart skipped a beat. He straightened up, smiled and cupped his hands and said, “If it’s too expensive, I really can’t bear it!”

“Nothing, it’s just the genealogy I wrote for the Cai family!”

Lu Qian glanced at the whole place and couldn’t help but sigh: “The Cai family I am extremely envious of such a prosperous population. It is Mr. Cai’s birthday, so I bathe and burn incense, fast for seven days, and hand-write the Cai family genealogy as a birthday gift. I wish Mr. Cai a long life and a prosperous future for the Cai family. “

Huo, I hope Mr. Cai doesn’t dislike it!”

“How could it be possible? It’s hard to get even a lot of money from the brave king, so why would I dislike it?”

Cai Zhenqing said and quickly asked the housekeeper to register.

This sentence fell into the ears of Wang Fuyishu and others, and they couldn’t help but murmur in their hearts.

Isn’t the birthday gift written by someone on the road? How could the fasting and bathing come from? This brave king is really good at telling lies with his eyes open!

Afterwards, the Huayi people who were standing nearby singing the congratulations sang loudly: “The Brave King Lu Zhuangyuan gave me a handwritten genealogy. I wish Mr. Cai a long life! I wish the Cai family a prosperous future!”

The voice spread clearly, and the numbers spread. It can be heard.

In the first round, it was a draw.

Lu Qian still failed to get angry.

“King of Valor, please.”

Cai Zhenqing smiled kindly with a hint of respect.

“please.”

Lu Gan said nothing and followed Cai Zhenqing up the white jade stone steps.

This white jade stone step is made of nine thousand-year-old snow jade from the East China Sea. It is nine feet long and one foot high and wide. It is crystal clear and costs about five hundred thousand taels of gold.

In the entire Youzhou, only the Cai family’s mansion dared to build nine jade steps, showing its extremely high honor and status.

At this moment, someone in the house whispered in the corner: “I thought the second birthday gift would be an eye-opener, but it’s just a handwritten genealogy? It’s a bit pricey.”

This is when the Cai family started to fight back. ? Was it the old guy Cai Zhenqing’s instruction?

Lu Gan paused and looked sideways at Cai Zhenqing.

“Who is so bold?”

Wu Lun glared majestically, turned around and shouted sharply.

“Hey, Mr. Wu, don’t be angry.”

Lu Qian stretched out his hand to stop him and said with an elegant smile: “A mere frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky only knows about gold, silver and yellow and white things, how could he know how precious this genealogy is! I have peerless assets and a great reputation. In the future, It will be remembered forever! This king’s authentic work will be a priceless treasure for thousands of years. Isn’t this a generous gift? Mr. Cai, don’t you think so

? What a thick skin!

These words shocked the whole audience and secretly amazed them.

“Of course!”

Cai Zhenqing nodded repeatedly and agreed: “The brave king and the genius will definitely be famous throughout history. This genealogy old man will definitely let future generations treasure it as a family heirloom and pass it down for generations!”

“Haha, Mr. Cai is really You’re welcome.”

“Let’s go together.”

Cai Zhenqing and Lu Gan walked into the front yard together like friends for many years.

Suddenly, what came into view was a blanket of red cloth, three feet wide and more than three miles long, extending straight through the triple red doors and spreading to the entrance of the main hall.

This is the Huosang cloth from Yunze Kingdom. It is very precious, with a square meter worth a thousand taels of gold.

Looking around, there were about six thousand banquet tables.

The banquet was filled with fine wines and delicacies, and bursts of aroma hit the face, making people’s fingers twitch.

The guests at the table were also dressed in rich clothes, most of them were powerful gentry from Youzhou, and they were full of distinguished guests.

“Tsk tsk, Mr. Cai is highly respected! So many people come to celebrate his birthday! Hey, these delicacies from the mountains and seas, bear paws, deer tail and so on, are very high-end! If you don’t know, you would think it is a birthday banquet held in the palace!”

Lu Qian glanced around. , sighed.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cai family around them could hear the yin and yang smell in the words, and their faces became a little ugly.

Cai Zhenqing’s expression did not change, and he still said with a smile: “This is all because of the face given by the villagers and elders. As for this dish, my relatives brought it here from a long way away, and it can be regarded as their heartfelt gift, so that the villagers and elders can have a try. This …There should be nothing wrong with it.”

“Hahahaha, of course there is nothing wrong with this dish. I also like it very much.”

Lu Qian laughed, paused, and said in a long voice: “There is something wrong with these guests. Ah! “

Huh ?”

Looking for trouble again?

Cai Zhenqing’s heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile: “Yes, yes! They have a problem! Everyone, why don’t you get up and pay homage to the Brave King?”

With a wink, the guests all around stood up and bowed to Lu Qian: “The common people pay homage to the brave king!”

The voices of more than 70,000 people gathered together to form an astonishing wave of sound that could make people’s eardrums ache.

A lot of the white clouds in the sky were also shaken away.

At this time, Lu Gan actually felt like he was alone, facing thousands of troops.

But his expression remained unchanged, and he returned the favor with a smile: “You’re welcome, please sit down!”

All the guests sat down.

At this moment, Lu Gan suddenly pointed to a middle-aged man in black with a round face three hundred meters to the east and said: “My friend, you must be worried about Dong Xi, right? You committed twenty crimes in Qingzhou and killed one.” One hundred and three people, although you have changed your appearance now, I still remember your eyes! Please just surrender and arrest me!

“

Before the voice could even finish, the floor shook. The expression of the round-faced middle-aged man in black changed dramatically, and he suddenly shot up and flew towards the top of the high vermilion wall.

“Where to go!”

Wu Lun shouted sharply, flicked his sleeves, and a boomerang shot out, drawing a silver arc of light more than a hundred meters long in mid-air, and struck Dong Xi hard.

“Ah!”

With a scream, Dong Xi was cut in half by the boomerang in mid-air.

The upper body and lower body continued to fly forward due to inertia, and crashed into the two banquet tables, directly knocking the tables full of food and wine to the ground.

The bright red blood, together with the intestines, flew freely in the air for a while before falling to the ground.

In an instant, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the floor was covered with blood.

The screams of women, the cries of children, and the painful wails of Dong Xi on the ground all gathered together, directly dispersing the festive atmosphere of the birthday banquet.

Lu Gan smiled slightly and said to Cai Zhenqing, who had an ugly face:

“Mr. Cai, I’m so sorry that your birthday gift was stained with blood. This… shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
