Imperial Capital?
Lu An was startled. He looked at the person in astonishment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Looking at Lu An's puzzled look, the person smiled and opened his fan. He placed it in front of his chest and said, "I haven't introduced myself. I'm a disciple of Zhou Changtian from the imperial capital. My name is Gao Jue."
"I'm Lu An." Lu An heard this and cupped his hands, "It's just that I'm not familiar with the situation in the imperial capital. I don't know who Zhou Changtian is."
"It's normal that you don't know." Gao Jue smiled and said, "Our sect leader Zhou Changtian is the Minister of Works of Tiancheng Country!"
When these words came out, Lu An was shocked!
If he didn't even know what the Minister of Works was, then he didn't need to live anymore. The Minister of Works was a first-rank official. The country's construction projects and irrigation works were all managed by the Ministry of Works. As the head of the Ministry of Works, the Minister of Works naturally had great power!
There was a saying among the people that among the six ministries, the richest was the Ministry of Works. With so many projects in the country, the amount of money the Ministry of Works took out from the national treasury every year was countless. As for how much they embezzled, no one knew.
"So you're a disciple of the Minister of Works." Lu An smiled and said, "Sorry for the disrespect."
"It's nothing. Those who don't know are innocent!" Gao Jue smiled and waved his hand generously, "To tell you the truth, these are the antiques I helped Minister Zhou get from other countries. They were just shipped over from Nanhai city. The things inside are priceless. I'm more or less a popular person in front of Minister Zhou. If you want to join Minister Zhou, I can introduce you to him. "
"As an official, Minister Zhou loves talents the most. He appreciates people with a bright future like you the most." Gao Jue smiled and looked at Lu An with confidence. In his opinion, no one would refuse such a temptation.
However, Lu An frowned slightly. He smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary person. My cultivation isn't high and I've never thought of being promoted. "
When these words came out, Gao Jue was stunned. He looked at this young man in astonishment. He couldn't even react.
This young man actually rejected?
"Are you sure?" Gao Jue wondered if he had heard wrong. He said, "You have to know that if you join Minister Zhou, it means that you will have a meteoric rise and be superior to others! Even in the Imperial Capital, anyone who sees you has to give you some face. If you leave the Imperial Capital, all the local officials will worship you! "
What he said was true. Although he was just an ordinary disciple and seemed useless, he was still Zhou Chang Tian's disciple. As the saying went, "When a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to the Heavens as well." Even a disciple was better than the local government.
"Forget it." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm not suited to be an official. If I go, I'll only cause trouble for you. Besides, I'm used to wandering around, so I can't stay still. "
Seeing that Lu An refused again, Gao Jue's face finally became gloomy this time. He didn't expect that when he took the initiative to pull this kid into his group, this kid wouldn't give him any face.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors!" Gao Jue's face sank, and he coldly said, "In Tiancheng Country, many people want to join Minister Zhou, but they can't. I invited you to join, but you refused twice! People like you will never amount to anything in your lifetime! "
After that, Gao Jue coldly snorted, waved his sleeve and left!
Looking at the angry Gao Jue leaving, Lu An's face didn't change at all. He continued to eat the steamed bun as if nothing had happened. However, although he didn't change, Yao beside him couldn't help but open her mouth.
"He said that to you, aren't you angry?" Yao whispered and asked softly.
"I'm not angry." Lu An was startled, looked at Yao, and said with a smile, "There's no need."
"…" He glanced at Gao Jue's departing figure, then looked at Lu An and said once more, "I think there's something he said wrong."
"What?" Lu An was startled and asked.
"I think you'll definitely amount to something in the future." Yao's face became very firm, saying, "You'll definitely become a very powerful person in the future, I believe it very much!"
Lu An was startled, looking at Yao's firm eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said softly, "I also hope I can become stronger and stronger, I still have a lot of things to do."
Yao was a little curious, Lu An had never told her about his matters, so she asked, "For example — — what matters?"
But this time, Lu An did not answer.
He does have a lot of things to do. He wants to know his background, he wants to help the people in the black fog save a person, and he wants to find Fu Yu …
There were also many other things that Lu An had promised others that he needed to do. And the only requirement to do these things is to constantly improve his strength.
Seeing that Lu An didn't say anything, Yao didn't continue to ask. Just as the two finished eating and were about to return to the carriage, waiting to continue their journey, Zhang Rui suddenly came over from a distance.
Soon, Zhang Rui came in front of Lu An, handed three parcels to Lu An, and said coldly, "These are the materials for the three yuan pill, I'm paying you in advance. As for the recipe for the three yuan pill, I'll naturally give it to you when we reach the capital. "
Lu An looked at Zhang Rui's still somewhat unfriendly expression, but didn't say anything, took the three parcels of materials and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Rui didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Soon, the convoy moved forward again. After all, from here to the capital, even if they traveled day and night, it would still take a full half a month. In this half a month, they didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
For the next seven days, the caravan continued its journey day and night. This was actually Gao Jue's request, he would rather spend a little more money to quickly present everything to Minister Zhou.
During these seven days, the escorts were divided into two groups, switching back and forth between day and night. There was a carriage that was empty at the end, and those who were sleepy would immediately go in to sleep.
Compared to these people, Lu An And Yao was much more relaxed. Yao's work and rest schedule was still very regular, while Lu An replaced sleep with cultivation. Moreover, these few days, he was very peaceful. Since the first day he rejected Gao Jue, that person never came to find him again, and Zhang Rui was the same.
These days, Zhang Rui really didn't say a word to him, she didn't even look at him. With Zhang Rui taking the lead, those escorts naturally wouldn't talk to him. Now, he and Yao were completely invisible in the convoy.
However, Lu An was also happy to be able to focus on his cultivation. He wanted to quickly raise his cultivation to the peak of level one, there was still a big gap between him and the peak of level one.

Two hundred miles away.
This was the first mountain range that Hu Tiecheng had encountered since they started their journey. The mountain range was neither big nor small, it could only be considered average. However, because it was surrounded by plains, there were no strange beasts in this mountain range. Around this mountain range, there were almost no villages or towns, and there was almost no sign of human habitation.
At this moment, in a huge cave on one of the mountain peaks, someone suddenly ran in from outside, quickly running through the crowd, and stopped when he reached the deepest part of the cave!
"Report!" The person shouted loudly, "Boss, the convoy is probably less than two hundred miles away from here, they should be able to enter the mountain before nightfall!"
When the person sitting at the highest point heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he slapped the chair and stood up, saying loudly, "There really is a convoy passing by, those people didn't lie to me!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the two people beside him and said loudly, "Second brother, third brother, after this, we'll be rich! When the time comes, we won't have to stay in this mountain, we'll bring our brothers to a city, we'll set up a merchant association to have fun! "
"En!" The second brother also nodded excitedly, but he hesitated and asked, "Big brother, isn't it a little dangerous for us to get involved in the fight between those high officials …"
"What do you know? Wealth comes from danger! " The person said loudly, "As long as there's money, not to mention Minister Zhou's things, even if it's the emperor's things, I'll definitely snatch them!"
