Chapter 827 Princess Xingluo comes to your door!

Zhu Lu separated from the Zhu family on the way back to the hotel. With Zhu Lu's current identity and status, no one dared to interfere with her. And there was no need to worry about Zhu Lu's safety. In order to protect Zhu Lu, the Zhu family specially sent a Titled Douluo to follow and protect her secretly, and he was the best at hiding himself.

Then, Zhu Lu came to a small courtyard on the edge of Mingdu.

Even though Mingdu is so crowded now, not to mention the hotels, even the small courtyards on the edge have long been hard to find a room.

But for some far-sighted forces, they came to Mingdu early and secretly rented some hotel rooms and courtyards for a long time, or even bought them directly.

Of course, the identities of the purchasers were concealed, and even the identities of local people from the Sun-Moon Empire were used.

The purpose is naturally to use it as a safe house.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows is an eternal way of survival. If you completely trust and rely on others when you are away from home, you are a fool.

Even many powerful forces had already started making arrangements long ago, not just for this Soul Master Competition.

Only Shrek Academy would dare to be defenseless.

So during the last Soul Master Competition, something happened at Shrek Academy, but they still had to stay at the Starlight Hotel.

Also because the events of Shrek Academy were discovered by many major forces, they became more cautious.

Who knows if the younger generation in our family will encounter similar things in this Soul Master Competition?

Moreover, this Soul Master Competition is held in the Sun-Moon Empire. If the Sun-Moon Empire has bad intentions, at least there is a safe house where they can hide temporarily to buy time.

All countries have been secretly stifling the genius of other countries, and similar actions have also occurred among various forces.

Be on guard!

The big forces are all very smart.

Of course, if the secretly arranged safe house is discovered by the enemy in advance and the escape route is blocked, we can only accept it.

Therefore, among those so-called audiences, there are no telling how many spies from various forces are hiding, it can be said that there are good and bad people mixed together.

The Sun-Moon Empire was well aware of this matter, but as long as these spies did not cause any trouble, the Sun-Moon Empire would not care, because it was impossible to control it and it would easily cause chaos.

As long as the Third Prince is not planning to cause trouble, stability is a must.

Moreover, various arrangements made by various forces also allowed a number of almost abandoned and dilapidated houses to be sold, which not only solved the problem of demolition but also increased the tax revenue of the Sun-Moon Empire.

why not?

Anyway, it’s just a group of safe houses. If you have the ability, you can break into the Sun and Moon Palace. Otherwise, it’s all a piece of cake for the Third Prince.

No matter how many safe houses there are, the Qi-seeing and tracking techniques will be useless once they are activated.

The Zhu family member who was in charge of guarding the Zhu family's courtyard in Mingdu was a cousin of Zhu Lu, and of course, she was also Zhu Lu's person. Her name was Zhu Min, and she had the usual talents of the Zhu family, and her loyalty was already full.

Seeing Zhu Lu coming, Zhu Min didn't ask much, but arranged everything and went outside to stand guard.

However, he didn't expect that the first person he waited for was not Huo Yuhao or Dai Huabin, but Xu Jiujiu who came to him.

"I am the royal princess Xu Jiujiu, and I'm here to visit the young patriarch of the Zhu family. I hope Sister Zhu Lu will come out to meet her." Xu Jiujiu stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to Zhu Min with a smile, with perfect etiquette.

However, Zhu Min's expression was not very good.

How dare you follow their young patriarch and expose this safe house? How presumptuous of you!

But she still told Zhu Lu exactly what Xu Jiujiu had said.

After Zhu Min returned to the courtyard, the voice of Manyi, the Nebula Douluo who was responsible for protecting Xu Jiujiu, rang in Xu Jiujiu's ears, "Jiujiu, why did you come here at this time? The young master of the Zhu family obviously has something to do. If we show up at this time, he might be unhappy and it will affect your subsequent efforts to win over her and the Zhu family."

Xu Jiujiu smiled slightly and replied softly, "Grandma Manyi, you worry too much. Jiujiu, I am not going to use the trick of being polite and courteous to the wise."

"Oh?" Manyi became interested.

Then I heard Xu Jiujiu explain simply, "No matter whether Zhu's sister likes me or not, as long as I appear beside her, the Dai family will definitely think more. At that time, I only need to do a little bit of manipulation to force the Zhu family to stand on the side of the royal family."

The Zhu family wants to break away from the Dai family, and conflicts have already arisen between the two sides. Then the young patriarch of the Zhu family stood together with the royal princess. Who can guarantee that there won't be any problems in between?

In many things, identity must be considered, because once suspicion arises, it will be difficult to repair.

If yellow mud falls on your crotch, it must be poop.

Even if the Zhu family was not won over by the royal family, it would make the break between the Dai family and the Zhu family more thorough, which would still be beneficial to the royal family.

"Haha, what a great conspiracy!" Manyi laughed, "Jiujiu, just do it. I'm here to make sure you're safe."

No matter what the result is, Xu Jiujiu will offend the Dai family and the Zhu family. But with Manyi around, even if the Dai family and the Zhu family want to retaliate, they dare not go too far.

"Thank you, grandma Manyi. Just watch my performance." Xu Jiujiu's smile became sweeter.

Manyi couldn't help but feel a little emotional in secret. She felt it was a pity that Xu Jiujiu was not a man, otherwise he would be a very good successor to Xu Jiawei, and at worst could be crowned king.

However, it is precisely because Xu Jiujiu is not a man that she, who is so smart, capable and resourceful, can still gain the trust and love of Xu Jiawei.

In the small courtyard.

After hearing Zhu Min's report, Zhu Lu realized that she was being followed, but she didn't notice anything.

When Zhu Lu was surprised, the Title Douluo who was secretly protecting Zhu Lu suddenly sent her a message, "I have already discovered the other party, but it doesn't matter, this may also be an opportunity for my Zhu family to rise."

Zhu Lu immediately understood that the so-called opportunity for rise was definitely not for the Zhu family to join the royal family, but rather - to plot against the royal family!

Even if the Zhu family gave away everything they had, it could not compare with the royal family that controlled the entire Xing Luo Empire. If the royal family could be controlled, then it would be much easier to train female members of the clan and improve their status in Huo Yuhao's heart in the future.

It just so happened that Xu Jiujiu, who had a special status in the royal family, came to the door on his own initiative.

Perhaps some high-ranking members of the Zhu family still thought that Zhu Lu was working hard for the family, but the only person Zhu Lu was truly loyal to from beginning to end was Huo Yuhao, and the Zhu family was just a tool to please Huo Yuhao.

"Invite her in." Zhu Lu said, but did not stand up to greet her. However, he did not show any other expression and still looked cold.

The location of this courtyard had already been told to Dai Huabin, and it must be abandoned, so Zhu Lu did not worry about the courtyard being exposed.

Zhu Lu was a little looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Xu Jiujiu would have when Huo Yuhao arrived.

Xu Jiujiu entered the yard and was led by Zhu Min to the meeting room.

Zhu Lu still did not stand up to greet him, but poured a cup of tea on the table, and smiled and invited Xu Jiujiu, "Princess Jiujiu, it's been a long time since we last met, and you are still as charming as ever. Your Highness, please take a seat. I hope you don't mind the coarse tea from my Zhu family."

Xu Jiujiu, who had already organized his words, suddenly didn't know how to start talking when he saw Zhu Lu's smile.

She had anticipated all possible attitudes of Zhu Lu, but Zhu Lu's attitude at this moment made her a little confused, and even made her feel a little uneasy.

It's like a mouse that stole the cheese and met a cat that had been eyeing it!
