Chapter 1631 Not a Good Person
Lu Li smiled and handed the coin to Wu Fang.
Wu Fang was stunned, "Sir, aren't you afraid that I will run away after taking the coins?"
"Can you?" Lu Li asked with a half-smile.
"No, it won't." Wu Fang shook his head repeatedly.
"That's alright, these coins are nothing to me. However, if you take the money and do nothing, you will bear the consequences yourself. Take it." Lu Li said, handing over the coins again.
"Yes, sir, don't worry! I will definitely try my best. If I can't do it, I should return the coins to you." Wu Fang said excitedly.
"You are very good. Do your job well and I won't treat you badly." Lu Li nodded with a smile.
When he first arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, there were some things that it was not convenient for him to come forward in person, so as not to alert others. Therefore, it was still necessary to win over one or two people for his own use.
It’s just a mere coin, nothing compared to the next three major tasks.
Although Wu Fang was just an ordinary guard at the lowest level, he was not stupid. He knew that Lu Li was trying to win over him. He was helpless in the city lord's palace, so he immediately took the opportunity to kneel down on one knee and said, "I am willing to do my best for you sir." !”
Lu Li smiled and waved: "Go ahead, be tactful and don't make too much noise."
"yes!"
Wu Fang stood up, clasped his fists, took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Early next morning.
Before Wu Fang came back, Lu Li came to the courtyard again and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about his next move.
During this trip to the Andu City Lord's Mansion, Lu Li's goal was very clear, and it was for three things.
First, find Tong Bao and complete the mission, gain the talent of speed, and increase your ability to survive in this world.
Second, help Tian Wanxi kill the commander Ying Xun.
Third, rescue the bandit Sun Buer.
The first thing has been figured out now. We only need to wait for Wu Fang to come back to see the outcome, so we can put it aside for the time being.
The second and third things are more troublesome and require careful planning, otherwise, big problems may occur. After all, he is no longer the powerful Mahayana man he once was, with the power to overwhelm mountains and seas, fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
He is just a mortal with relatively strong strength. Although his hands and feet are still strong, other parts of his body cannot withstand swords, guns and sticks. If he is surrounded, he may not be easy to deal with.
"Mr. Ji, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone over to ask you to come over." Just as Lu Li closed his eyes and thought deeply, a man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The speaker was one of the guards at the outer gate.
City Lord's Mansion?
Lu Li frowned and said, 'I understand', then stood up and walked out of the courtyard towards the door of the mansion.
When they came outside the gate, they saw a guard of the City Lord's Mansion waiting outside. When the guard saw Lu Li coming out, he hurriedly clasped his fists in greeting. It seemed that the status of the court guest was quite high in the City Lord's Mansion, and he was quite respected by these people.
Lu Li said a few words and then rushed to the city lord's mansion with the guard.
On the way, Lu Li asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you know what you want from me?"
"This subordinate really doesn't know." The guard shook his head and said.
"All right."
Lu Li nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them entered the City Lord's Mansion together. Lu Li thought he was going to Zhenhong Hall, but unexpectedly after stepping onto the square, the guard took him east to the gate of a huge single courtyard.
According to the guard, this is where the city lord lives.
When they arrived here, the guard from before stopped going in, and another person led Lu Li through the door.
The plantation behind the door was elegant, with patches of green bamboo growing along the road. The guards took Lu Li to twists and turns in the bamboo forest, and finally came to the outside of an exquisite stone pavilion.
At this time, there were already many people sitting around the pavilion.
In addition to the city lord Pang Zheng, the court guests Qiao Feimu, and Wang Hetai, there were also three men in standard clothing. One of them, a bearded man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, made Lu Li's gaze linger for a moment.
This person is very similar to the Ying Xun described by Tian Wanxi, and may be one of the targets of his action this time.
The six people in the pavilion were drinking and chatting.
Seeing Lu Li coming, Pang Zheng immediately laughed, stood up and greeted: "Mr. Ji is here, please come and sit down."
Lu Li didn't expect Pang Zheng to be so enthusiastic, so he couldn't help but feel surprised. He then smiled and said, "I heard that the Lord of the City has summoned me, so I don't dare to delay for a moment."
"Haha! There's no such thing as being summoned without being summoned. I just have nothing to do and have a casual chat with Mr. Pang Zheng." As he spoke, Pang Zheng led Lu Li to sit down next to him.
He personally poured Lu Li a glass of wine and introduced him with a smile.
As expected, the middle-aged man with a beard was the commander-in-chief Ying Xun. As for the other two, they were the second commander-in-chief Wu Changzheng and the third commander-in-chief Lu Qingchu.
When Lu Li heard this, he didn't hesitate and toasted with a smile.
Wu Changzheng and Lu Qingchu agreed with a smile. The commander-in-chief Ying Xun, on the other hand, looked neither salty nor salty, as if he was born to dislike Lu Li.
This made Lu Li confused. Could this person know telepathy and know that the person he came to was evil? However, there was nothing unusual about it.
This city lord was truly a maniac on couplets. After the introduction, he couldn't wait to bring the topic to 'business' and asked Lu Li and others to write the first couplet that he thought was difficult.
Lu Li was speechless and could only accompany him, but after several rounds, even if Lu Li wanted to do so, Qiao Feimu and Wang Hetai both lost more and won less.
Qiao Feimu was okay, but Wang Hetai and the commander's expressions didn't look good.
Lu Li observed the words and expressions and immediately realized that it seemed that the relationship between Ying Xun and Wang Hetai was not normal.
As for this pair, several hours have passed. It was not until the afternoon that the city lord ended the discussion and exchange, and Lu Li and others left the city lord's mansion together.
On the street outside, Lu Li and Qiao Feimu were walking side by side, and suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Mr. Qiao, do you also live here on Funan Street?"
"Exactly, I live at No. 13. My friend, if you have free time, you are welcome to come over as a guest at any time. I will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you!" Qiao Feimu replied with a smile.
"sure!"
Lu Li replied with a smile, rolled his eyes slightly, and said seemingly casually: "What about Mr. Wang, and the three commanders?"
Qiao Feimu's smile faded slightly when he heard this. He looked at the four people walking in front and lowered his voice, "They are all the same. However, Wang Hetai is not a good person. You have to be careful in the future, little friend."
"Isn't it good?"
"Yeah. If this person is just a chicken, that's all. Fighting between literati is nothing more than verbal and written criticism. Although it can make people half-dead, as long as they are thick-skinned and talk in one ear and out the other, it won't hurt either physically or mentally.
But this man is different. In addition to being able to criticize with both words and writing, he also has a very powerful son-in-law.
So, I turn a blind eye to many things. As long as he doesn't go too far, I don't bother to argue with him to avoid getting into trouble..." Qiao Feimu shook his head as he said it, with a helpless expression on his face.
After hearing this, Lu Li frowned and said as if he was feeling something, "Could the son-in-law you are talking about be..."
