Never judge a book by its cover.
When he got to know Xiao Yunhe, Xiao Yunhe was an ordinary person with nothing special about him. The damaged twelve Life Providences and the degraded weapon, Hexagon, showed his past glory. From the side, Xiao Yunhe's past was much more glorious than he had imagined.
The problem was that no one knew where Xiao Yun and this fellow had run off to, and there hadn't been any news of them since their last meeting.
"Do you know where Xiao Yunhe is now?" Lu Zhou asked.
Lu Qianshan shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
At this moment, Si Wuya said, "Master, Tower Master Xiao will return to the Black Tower sooner or later."
Lu Zhou nodded. He would wait for the hare to come to him.
"Send a message to Jiang Jiuli and ask him to take note of this matter."
Si Wuya said.
"Jiang Jiuli is just a judge. It's hard for him to decide the matters of the upper echelons. Moreover, Xiao Yunhe's relationship with Master isn't bad, and they're hoping that you don't know about this … Disciple thought that this matter could be communicated with the Black Tower's Fourth Elder, Lu Si. The Black Tower's collective demotion has left Lu Si unscathed. He is cunning and a notorious conservative. He is also the easiest type of person to move. "
"I'll leave this to you," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes."
The Black Tower's collective demotion relied on the Zenith Mystery Card. If there was no such card, it would not feel too safe. It would be much better to have Old Seven deal with this matter.
Lu Zhou looked at the sky outside.
Just as he was about to leave, the old butler ran in from outside.
"Master, someone from the palace has come."
Lu Qianshan stood up and shouted angrily, "You've gone too far!"
He had just accepted his blue crystal. If he did not ask about it, it would be too heartless of him. What was more, this was Lu Li's family. His ancestor looked so much like Lu Li. It was fate.
Lu Zhou asked, "What happened?"
Lu Qianshan said angrily,
"Back in the day, I personally led an army to conquer the foreign races and flatten countless barbarians. It crossed the entire Western Grassland and reached the Black Sea Coast. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, they don't need me anymore? All of them want to cut me? "
He calmed himself down and sighed.
"It's our Lu Clan's fault for being disappointing. We can't blame anyone."
Just then …
Outside the hall, a group of people rushed in.
Standing in the spacious and huge courtyard, the eunuch in the lead said in a clear voice, "General Lu, receive the edict."
Lu Qianshan couldn't be bothered with him. He clasped his hands behind his back and turned around.
The old butler was so anxious that his face turned red as he looked around.
"General Lu, receive the edict."
Another sound reverberated through the entire Lu Mansion. This time, the Primordial Qi was mobilized.
The cultivation guards of the Lu Mansion quickly rushed over.
The family members of the Lu Mansion also arrived.
When the eunuch saw the elegant and graceful Madam Lu, he asked, "Madam Lu, where is General Lu? It's time to come out and receive the edict. "
The womenfolk did not dare to make a decision for their master.
"Madam, quickly persuade Master to come out and accept the imperial edict!"
"Defying the imperial edict is a huge crime. Our Lu Clan cannot afford to bear it."
The people of the Lu Mansion discussed among themselves with a troubled look on their faces.
They knew that the Lu Family's status in the Imperial Court was dropping by the day, and they knew that this day would come sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.
Madam Lu turned around and said to the ladies, "All of you, follow me in."
"Yes."
All the women rushed to the drawing room.
Before he could climb up the steps, he heard a voice coming from inside, "No one is allowed to enter."
Madam Lu and the ladies stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Lu Qianshan continued, "Eunuch Zhang, leave the imperial edict, you may leave now."
"Without seeing General Lu accept the imperial edict with my own eyes, I'm afraid I won't be able to report back, I hope General won't feel troubled" Eunuch Zhang said.
He was only a eunuch.
Lu Qianshan helplessly walked out.
As Eunuch Zhang was about to read the imperial edict, Lu Qianshan stepped forward, grabbed the imperial edict, and said, "There's no need to read it, I've already accepted it."
Eunuch Zhang didn't get angry, instead, he laughed:
"Seeing the imperial edict is the same as seeing His Majesty. If it weren't for the fact that you and I are good friends, your disobedience alone would be enough to sentence you to death."
Lu Qianshan said:
"Eunuch Zhang, do you think I'm scared? Are you even crueler than those barbarians? "
"…"
"When I was dominating the battlefield, you didn't even have the right to speak"
Eunuch Zhang said:
"General Lu, what's the point of venting your anger on me? It doesn't matter if the imperial edict isn't read, as long as it's here. Let's go — — - "
He waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, turned around, and was about to leave.
He was only a eunuch. Sometimes, he might bully others, but if he really wanted to bully someone, he would not dare to do so to the Lu Family. The most he could do was take advantage of Lu Qianshan verbally.
"Wait."
Lu Zhou's calm voice rang from the hall.
Eunuch Zhang was taken aback. He was an elite cultivator, to begin with. He could tell that the voice was directed at him.
He turned around and looked at the hall.
Two young men with graceful bearing walked out.
The one on the left stood with his hands on his back while the one on the right stood respectfully.
"Who's that?"
"When did the Lu Family have guests?"
"He looks young. Is he the young master of a wealthy family in the capital?"
The people of the Lu Mansion exchanged a look.
Fortunately, not many people had seen Lu Zhou's portrait. Nobody found it strange.
Lu Qianshan was the only one who turned around and greeted, "Pavilion Master Lu."
Eunuch Zhang was momentarily stunned. There was no other young man in the capital who could make Lu Qianshan bow his head.
Who was this person?
He could not possibly turn around.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. The imperial edict flew from Lu Qianshan's hand into his palm. He opened it and read it.
The content was very brief, and the wording was very euphemistic. In reality, it was asking him to retire and return to his hometown, and even his mansion in the capital city was to be confiscated. It was said that he had built a more comfortable villa in the Southern Peace Province, and so on.
After reading it, Lu Zhou tossed the imperial edict into the air. It was burned to ashes by the karmic fire.
Eunuch Zhang was shocked.
He thought to himself, "What is the background of this young man? He clearly knows the imperial edict, but he still dares to defy it and burn it?"
Someone from White Lotus?
When a cultivator reached a certain stage, they could no longer judge a book by its cover. The higher one's rank was, the more they understood this principle. Eunuch Zhang had followed His Majesty for many years and knew this very well.
Lu Zhou said,
"Go back and tell your emperor that I, Lu Qianshan, will resist the imperial edict."
Me?
"Dis-Disobey the imperial decree?"
Eunuch Zhang was even more puzzled. Could it really be a cultivation big shot like Lan Xihe?
The eunuch at the side did not have such good eyesight, he said, "Young man, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, you dare to defy the imperial edict. “
Lu Zhou glanced at the man and said, "Lu Qianshan."
"Ah?"
"Slap yourself."
Slap yourself? What slap?
Lu Qianshan was slightly taken aback. Perhaps, he was used to being a coward. He was not used to Lu Zhou's aggressive style.
However, he seemed to have caught something from Lu Zhou's eyes. He moved toward the eunuch and struck him with his palm.
Pa.
The eunuch flipped in the air. His cheeks were burning with pain, and he rolled on the ground.
He didn't even have the chance to scream before he fainted.
This slap was enough to take away half of his life.
It felt so good.
Lu Qianshan was a warrior, not a civil official. Countless times, he had dreamed of beating up these treacherous officials to his heart's content.
This palm strike somewhat fulfilled Xiao Chen's wish, making him feel incredibly pleased.
"Lu Qianshan, you …"
Eunuch Zhang did not dare to reason with Lu Zhou. However, he knew Lu Qianshan well. He said angrily, "This is His Majesty's order. What can you do even if you kill us? Can it change the result? "
Lu Qianshan felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He was speechless.
At this moment, Lu Zhou, who was standing on the steps, said,
"It can change."
"What?"
Lu Zhou said.
"You're returning to the palace?"
"The imperial decree has been delivered. It's only natural for me to return to the palace," Eunuch Zhang said.
"Let's go together then."
Eunuch Zhang and Lu Qianshan. "…"
'Is he really that direct?'
"Lu Qianshan, come with me," Lu Zhou said.
Lu Qianshan was taken aback.
When Lu Zhou saw his hesitation, he asked, "Are you afraid?"
"Why would I be afraid of him? Let's go together," Lu Qianshan said.
