With the two experts from the Mo Family escorting them, the caravan didn't dare to approach the cities they passed by, and the carriages were all replaced with new ones.
As if to compare himself with Lü Shu, Sun Zhongyang bought the most luxurious carriages.
Although Sun Zhongyang hadn't brought much money with him, Song Bo wanted to use Sun Zhongyang to raise his status in the Sun Family. The Sun family was one of the richest families in Royal City. Otherwise, the other children wouldn't have followed Sun Zhongyang around. However, Song Bo wasn't the only one who made a living under the rich and powerful families. Therefore, Song Bo and the other big slave owners were also in a competitive relationship. Whoever did a good job, who was more liked by the family head, would have more resources.
Seeing that Sun Zhongyang's father might become the next head of the Sun Family, Song Bo's heart burned with passion. This was an opportunity bestowed upon him by the heavens, and he had to thank the Divine King for his blessings!
In King City, there was a saying of the Nine Five. The Nine Five Sovereign was obviously the one sitting on the throne in the Divine King Palace. However, the wealthy families were also divided into the Nine Five Upper Clans and the Nine Lower Clans. These were things that everyone tacitly agreed on.
This meant that the Five Great Clans stood at the very top of the clouds, and their foundations were the strongest. The Nine Lower Clans were existences that could look down on Lü Zhou.
These were the clans that had fought alongside the Old Divine King in the past, and now they were flourishing.
However, by now, the kindness of the past had been slowly forgotten. Many people viewed the past as a transaction, with one party selling their lives and the other bestowing wealth and power.
Right now, profit was the most important thing.
After Sun Zhongyang and the others switched carriages, they still wanted to piss off Lü Shu. After all, they'd been pissed off for quite some time. However, ever since the two experts from the Mo Family had arrived, Lü Shu had remained in his carriage, not even showing himself when they passed by a city.
It was as if the outside world had nothing to do with him. This made Sun Zhongyang and the others feel as if they'd punched a pile of cotton ….
This time, Sun Zhongyang happily paid Lü Shu a total of four million godnotes, including the money Song Bo had added after entering the forest ….
At that time, Sun Zhongyang had casually told Lv Shu that any armor Lv Shu wanted would not be a problem. When he arrived at Royal City, there would be people from the Sun family who would specifically trade with him. The Sun family was trustworthy.
From Sun Zhongyang's point of view, four million godnotes wasn't a small sum in exchange for a lot of armor, but the Sun Family still had enough to pay for it. They didn't even need to buy it from other families.
However, Lv Shu shook his head and said, "We're talking about exchanging all the money I have left for armor. We'll talk about how much money I'll give you when we get to the capital. Also, if I help you find Commander Lv Shu of the Martial Guards Army, I'll still have three million left."
Sun Zhongyang had a bad feeling about this, because he didn't know how much money Lü Shu had left.
To be honest, after Lv Shu joined hands to be the banker for the gambling house, his mind had grown a lot. The money he earned from joining hands with all the gambling houses in Royal City was not a small amount, so much so that the 7 million he earned from Sun Zhongyang paled in comparison.
But … was there any other way to earn money? Lü Shu thought about going back to the Tengra Terra Net to bring back at least ten thousand pieces. Otherwise, if he went back and bragged about himself, saying that he was a commander-in-chief, that he was a peerless beauty, and that he was a descendant of the Jianlu Sect, it would be a slap to his face.
But what Lü Shu didn't know was that Li Ke, who was lost on Earth, had already bragged about what he wanted to brag about.
What Li Ke said was only known to very few people, but there was no suspense. Those who knew what Lv Shu had done in Lv Zhou all felt that their lives had become strange and dazzling.
Their Ninth Tengra had completely integrated into that world and caused a lot of trouble …
When Li Yixiao heard that Lü Shu's nickname in Lü Zhou was "Get Out of Poverty and Get Rich", his eyes lit up. He followed Chen Zu An and Cheng Qiuqiao to guard the space passage every day. However, the space passage never opened again.
During this period of time, what surprised everyone the most was that Cao Qingci was actually guarding the side of the passageway as well. Even when Chen Zu An and Cheng Qiuqiao had given up, Cao Qingci didn't give up.
What was even more surprising was that Nie Ting's frequency of coming to Luoyang City had also increased.
Now, when Lü Shu treated Tengra Earth Net as his own home, he was no longer so stingy toward Tengra Earth Net, and could even be said to be generous.
People had to grow, and Lü Shu had long acknowledged his identity as Tengra.
What he was thinking now was that the local specialties he brought back would all become chips for Tengra Earth Net to stand tall in the cultivation world on Earth.
The two masters from the Mo family felt that Lü Shu was a little strange. They asked Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya about the situation, but Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya both hemmed and hawed. They really didn't want to admit that it was because of this guy's protection that they didn't die …
Although the masters from the Mo family came early, without Lü Shu, they might have died in the hands of Yi Qian.
"Ahem, they're customers in the caravan. They're going to the royal city on the way," Sun Zhongyang said softly.
"Yes, yes, yes," everyone echoed softly.
For some reason, even though the other party was from the back mountain of Jianlu, and even though he was a Rank-1 master, it wasn't shameful to admit that they were protected by him. However, Sun Zhongyang and the others still felt very awkward …
After seven days, just as the caravan was on its way, a group of horses suddenly passed by them, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
Lü Shu crawled out of the carriage and sized up the group of horses that passed by, feeling a little curious. There were actually seven Rank-2 masters in that group of horses.
Yi Qian seemed to have seen through Lü Shu's doubts. What he was doing was the most dangerous thing. Usually, he would have some secret intelligence channels. Mercenaries like him had long formed a complete business chain. Not only did they kill people, but they also sold intelligence.
Yi Qian glanced at the caravan and said, "That horse's butt has the coat of arms of a great noble in Fujin City. The one riding in front should be a genius of this noble family. It's said that his family bought him a place in the Jianlu Selection, so he should be heading to the royal city."
Lü Shu looked at Yi Qian in surprise. Yi Qian could guess the identity and purpose of the caravan just by looking at the coat of arms. He was indeed an expert from Mituryū Kanao. Ordinary people wouldn't pay attention to the coat of arms on the butt of a horse, would they?
Lü Shu whispered something to Yi Qian, and then Yi Qian suddenly looked at the caravan and said casually, "Boss, there seems to be Lü Shu in that caravan!"
Before Lü Shu could say anything, Sun Zhongyang and the others had already flown out, screaming. They were so frustrated along the way that they couldn't find someone to vent their anger on!
There were six Rank-1 masters in this group of people. The other party was so scared that when they saw that Sun Zhongyang and the others didn't seem to want to kill them, they didn't dare to fight back at all.
When they beat up the thief, they also used the same trick. Did the rich young masters of the royal city need a reason to beat up people? Of course not.
However, when Sun Zhongyang and the others were done beating them up, they heard Lü Shu say to Yi Qian calmly, "You've got the wrong person."
"Negative emotion from Sun Zhongyang, + 666!"
"Negative emotion from Mo Xiaoya …"
The people who were beaten up didn't understand what was going on, but they vaguely felt that they had been beaten up for nothing?! How could they participate in the Jianlu Selection if they were beaten up so badly that they vomited blood?!
Before Lü Shu arrived at the royal city, the Jianlu Selection had already turned from 47 people to 46 …
