Chu Lushan did not enter Xiangfan City directly. Instead, he boarded the ship and went to the Spring God Lake. In the middle of the night, Chu Lushan, who was sleeping in his room and snoring loudly, slowly woke up. Outside the room, a trusted subordinate who accompanied him out of Beiliang said softly, "General, we have arrived. They are requesting to board the ship! "
For the first time, Chu Lushan did not put on airs. He said in a low voice, "Go back and tell them that I am going to meet them."
When Chu Lushan got up, the sturdy bed creaked. He went to the window and saw a large ship from Qingzhou approaching carefully. There was no flag on it. If he did not receive news that His Royal Highness was assassinated and had no choice but to rush over, he would have met with the ship outside during the day.
The person on the boat was a local tyrant in Qingzhou. The reason why the Green Faction was able to bully others in the imperial court was because of their ability to act on the whims of the wind and to form an alliance with the aristocratic families through marriage. The person they were about to meet was a roly-poly in the Green Faction, one of the few old consecrators. Since Chu Lushan was able to put up a good show, he was naturally very meticulous. However, during the Spring and Autumn Kingdom War, he was completely devoid of conscience and thus covered it up.
After tidying up his clothes, Chu Lushan walked out of the room. Because his body size was too rare, the deck that connected the two ships was widened. There were three more boards than usual. Presumably, they were afraid that the board would not be able to bear the weight and cause the infamous General of Beiliang, Qianniu Wu, to fall into the water. Chu Lushan strode forward. Even though the deck was stacked with two layers, it was still bent by his terrifying weight. The elegant middle-aged Confucian scholar opposite him was sweating. When the adopted son of the King of Beiliang boarded the ship, he immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Lu Dongjiang welcomes General Chu."
"Lu Dongjiang's rank is the same as mine. It is not appropriate," Chu Lushan said with a smile. Although he was polite, he did not help Lu Dongjiang up.
If this scene was seen by the officials of Qingzhou, it would cause a huge commotion. Lu Dongjiang was the governor of Taixi County in Qingzhou. His father was the previous governor of Qingzhou. Most importantly, the ancestor of the Lu Family who was still alive was one of the fourteen pillars of the dynasty. Together with the other two old consecrators, they were the leaders of the Green Party. Lu Dongjiang's family's knowledge was profound. He was especially good at writing big regular script, which was his strength and strength, but it did not lose its charm. Hence, he was called Lu Dongjiang. In the palace examination in the early years, even the late Emperor was full of praise after seeing Lu Dongjiang's writing.
Lu Dongjiang's grandfather, Lu Feichi, was an important official of two dynasties. He had moved through the three ministries of military and civil affairs. He had once formed a cabinet with the old Grand Secretary. His experience and popularity were first class in the Liyang Dynasty. Even though he retired a few years ago due to health reasons, he was still greatly favored by the Emperor and retained the title of Pillar of the State. Last year, this Pillar of the State caught a cold. The current Emperor personally sent an imperial envoy to Qingzhou to greet him. It could be said that in Qingzhou, whether it was Lu Dongjiang's talent or his family background, perhaps only the King of Jing An, Zhao Heng, was worthy of his careful treatment.
There was not a single idle person on the ship. Other than Lu Dongjiang, there were only a few elite men of sacrifice who had served the Lu Family for generations.
Chu Lushan nodded lightly at this arrangement. Lu Dongjiang led the way in front and went straight to the third floor. After opening the door, he did not enter with Chu Lushan. Chu Lushan's body was too fat. When he stepped over the threshold, he stretched slightly and his wide sleeves were pulled. Lu Dongjiang hurriedly helped to untie the restraints. There was a soft laugh coming from the room. When Lu Dongjiang heard it, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. He carefully raised his head and glanced at Chu Lushan. Seeing that this fatty was not acting strangely, he suppressed the urge to reprimand him. He was annoyed at this mischievous daughter of his. How could she be so troublesome? Normally, she relied on the Old Ancestor's pampering and mischievous style. Today, at such a critical time when the rise and fall of the family was at stake, she still did not know how to restrain herself. Let's see how he would deal with her when she returned home!
Chu Lushan entered the room with incense burners in the four corners. He sniffed and felt relaxed and happy. The fatty looked over and smiled. This was indeed a first-class large family in Qingzhou. The east and west burners were the East Yue Plum Green Incense Burner and the West Chu Pink Five-Legged Incense Burner. The north and south burners were the West Shu Brown Glazed Lotus Stem Aromatherapy Burner and the Longquan Doucai Porcelain Burner. Just these four little burners, which were originally tributes to the imperial palace, were worth a lot of silver.
Chu Lushan glanced at the incense burners as if there was no one else around. Only then did he look at the old man sitting on a couch in front of him. His beard and eyebrows were snow-white, and his two long eyebrows hung down. He wore a warm smile, which made him appear even more benevolent and kind, and his aura was otherworldly. This was probably the pinnacle of the Nourishing Beauty Residence. Beside the old man was a young and graceful woman gently massaging his back. She was the one who had laughed out loud at Chu Lushan's embarrassment when he stepped through the door. The old man saw Chu Lushan standing in the room without the courtesy of a junior or the attitude of a subordinate. He didn't take it to heart. He only smiled and patted the back of the woman's hand. "Yan 'er, go get a chair for General Chu."
There was a large yellow pear wood chair tailor-made for Chu Lushan in the room. It was a small and luxurious chair that had to be hastily made by a craftsman. From this, one could see how much importance the Lu Family placed on Chu Lushan. In reality, the carpenter was still under house arrest by the Lu Family for fear that someone with ulterior motives would find clues because of the chair. He was lucky that he hadn't been killed to silence him.
While his great-granddaughter was moving the chair, the old man, who was still one of the four pillars of the imperial court, smiled and said, "General Chu, don't lower yourself to Yan 'er's level. She's used to being spoiled at home and doesn't understand etiquette."
"Ancestor!" The woman protested coquettishly to show her dissatisfaction. However, after moving the chair, she didn't forget to give Chu Lushan a small bow. She didn't show the disgust of seeing a fat pig or the fear of hearing of Lu Qiu 'er's reputation as an ordinary woman.
One of the few remaining elders of the Green Party saw this and smiled slightly.
