Chapter 217 Brother, you have such a cruel heart!

The same went for Lu Zhanxing. She had finally made an appointment with Lin Tao, Sun Qiming, and Yu Wei to go to the pleasure boat for a drink.

Yu Wei was transferred back to the capital and is now the deputy general of the West Camp. The four of them were drinking in the painting boat as usual, but they met a lot of playboys by chance. These people had never tried to curry favor with them before, but it was too late for them to do so now.

So Lu Zhanxing didn't treat them well, and then these cunning people started to curry favor with Sun Qiming. Lin Tao, Yu Wei and the other two.

Lin Tao sent away a dandy boy and said to Lu Zhanxing with a smile: "Your Majesty, this can be considered as a blessing for all of us."

Sun Qiming disagreed and said, "You are the chicken and dog. I am the prince's good brother. Don't lower your status to me."

Yu Wei also nodded: "That's right, I am a good brother to the prince, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak."

Lin Tao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I said something wrong, I will drink a glass as punishment!"

The other two then let him go, and Sun Qiming said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our great merchant Lin has finally proposed marriage."

"Commander Sun, my father is the chief merchant, not me."

"Don't give me that. Didn't your father say that he would give up the throne to you after you get married? Don't think I don't know."

Lu Zhanxing became interested: "Whose is it?"

You know, it was difficult for Lin Tao to get married before, but now that he has this kind of relationship, many officials want to marry their daughters, right?

"The daughter of Marquis Xuanping." Sun Qiming winked at Lu Zhanxing.

The old Marquis Xuanping abdicated after Lu Zhanyan ascended the throne and let his eldest son inherit the title of marquis. The Marquis Xuanping had a daughter who had just come of age. He had wanted to wait for His Majesty to hold a selection, but His Majesty had no intention of holding a selection, so he could only choose a husband. All the relatives of His Majesty were married. It happened that Lin Tao and Prince Yi met again and were chatting and laughing, and were seen by the Marquis Xuanping, who then proposed to Lin's father.

That was a family with two marquises, so naturally Father Lin agreed without hesitation.

Who would have thought that the poor family that was once proposed to be married to would now be approached by others.

Hearing that she was Zhao Ningxiu's niece, Lu Zhanxing smiled and said, "You are an old cow eating young grass, congratulations!"

Now Zhao Ningxiu is serving as the prefect of Jingzhou, and Xuanping Hou is also serving as the director of the Ministry of Works, and both of them have good status.

Lin Tao and Lu Zhanxing are the same age, both twenty-one. Unexpectedly, Lin Tao would marry a fifteen-year-old girl.

"That's right, and she's the daughter of the Marquis Xuanping who was carefully raised. You're really lucky." Sun Qiming said sourly.

Yu Wei was also full of envy. His cousin was nice, but she loved to complain too much. As long as he said a word to a pretty maid, his cousin would complain to his mother. It really made him angry. Fortunately, he finally listened to Lu Zhanxing's suggestion.

She tried her best to have children. In the past three years, she had two boys and was pregnant with another baby. It turned out that her cousin had no time to pay attention to her.

Lin Tao rolled his eyes at Sun Qiming and said, "Don't be so angry. You married the Princess Lan Xi, who cares about you every day. Who wouldn't envy you?"

Yu Wei nodded: "Isn't it? I should be envious."

Lu Zhanxing was very happy to see that these good friends did not have the tragic ending described in the books.

But she was even happier when she thought about seeing Arnold, whom she had been thinking about for a while.

After saying goodbye to a few friends, Lu Zhanxing went to Linyuan. Yes, Lu Zhanxing did not plan to return the beautiful Linyuan to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao had no intention of taking it. If it hadn't been for Lu Zhanxing, it would have been hard to say whether their property could be preserved.

So not only did he not accept the manor that Lu Zhanxing gave him, he also gave each of his three good friends five thousand taels of silver and let them spend it as they pleased.

This generosity made Lu Zhanxing very happy. She liked such a good brother.

Yu Wei and Sun Qiming liked it even more. They were not rich to begin with, and having a rich friend made them smile even in their dreams.

When Lu Zhanxing arrived at Linyuan, Lu Tong became her servant again, and Yu Lu also gave birth to a daughter, Pan'er, who was already one year old.

He also said that when his daughter grows up, he will let her serve the little princess.

Seeing how loyal he was, Lu Zhanxing asked him to return to his side and await orders, and Yu Lu and her daughter were also transferred back to Prince Yi's Mansion.

In Linyuan, Lu Zhanxing was leaning leisurely on the couch, playing with a folding fan, with Liu Xu serving him.

While waiting for Lu Tong to bring Arnold, I wonder how handsome that young boy has become now.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Arnold here."

Lu Tong stepped forward respectfully to report, and a strong man followed behind him.

Lu Zhanxing picked up the teacup beside him and drank his tea, then hummed, "Where are the people?"

Lu Tong's mouth twitched slightly, he made way and pointed at the tough guy: "He is it."

“Poof!! Cough cough cough…”

Lu Zhanxing spat out the tea that she had not yet swallowed, and Liu Xu quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!" Arnold bowed loudly, his voice resembling a huge bell, very much like the loud voice of a military training instructor.

Lu Zhanxing was so frightened that his hand holding the teacup trembled, and his eyes were filled with horror: "You...you you..."

The man in front of him no longer had the skinny and pitiful look of Arnold back then. He was clearly a strong man with tall and mighty muscles, a dark face, and a damn sense of security. He was completely different from before.

Arnold also had a very complicated expression. He didn't expect that the prince still remembered him after he was unable to "do things" with the prince.

He was thrown into the secret guard training camp, and had to speak loudly. If anyone spoke in a sissy way, he would be starved. He was afraid of being hungry, so he spoke particularly loudly. After learning that he became a secret guard and had the opportunity to be a personal guard to the young master, he practiced martial arts even harder.

As a result, he accidentally became a tall and mighty King Kong man, and speaking loudly became a habit.

How could he know that he was being specially targeted for transformation.

Lu Zhanxing finally saw Arnold's shadow on that dark face, but he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Lu Zhanxing was heartbroken. My thin, gentle, and well-behaved Arnold was gone! !

Brother, you are so cruel, how could you turn my Arnold into this, wuwuwu...

All the excited hearts tonight are broken at this moment!!!

Seeing that the prince was already heartbroken, Liu Xu and Lu Tong were full of sympathy.

"The prince just wants to know how you are doing, so he wants to see you. If you are doing well, the prince will be relieved. Go back!" Liu Xu smoothed things over.

Lu Tong took Arnold away.

"Brother Lu, is the prince angry?" Arnold asked loudly.

Lu Tong picked his ears and almost had them ringing. He looked up at the tall and mighty Arnold and asked enviously, "How did you grow so tall and mighty? Do you have any secrets?"

Arnold scratched his head. "I just practiced martial arts every day, wrapped myself in gauze to carry water, carried stones and did horse stance, and ate a big bucket of rice for each meal..."

Lu Tong: “…”

Forget it, just pretend he didn’t ask.

Lu Zhanxing covered his heart with his hands in even more pain: "Ah, my heart is broken into pieces."

"Your Highness, even if this one is gone, there will be another one. Don't be sad." Liu Xu could only comfort him.

There’s nothing we can do if there’s a next one. The slave trade is banned now, so who would want to be a slave?

And there is no guarantee for employment!

There were male prostitutes in brothels, but they were not clean and she didn't dare to accept them.

My brother must have done it on purpose. The ban on the slave trade also restricted her collection of handsome men!

When Lu Tong came back, Lu Zhanxing ordered: "Select from all the major manors and bring the good-looking ones here."

It’s over, it’s over. The prince has started to bully the servants in the manor.

However, this is also an opportunity to make a breakthrough, which these servants should be eager for.

Lu Tong went back to work.

The next second, what happened here was reported to Emperor Zhaoyuan Lu Zhanyan.

Upon learning that Arnold was sent back again, Lu Zhanyan curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. However, after learning that Lu Tong had gone to help find a handsome man again, the smile disappeared again.

"Keep staring!"

The shadow responded and left again.

Lu Zhanyan put down his pen and rubbed his brows with a headache, wondering how to stop his brother from going astray...
