Chapter 2122 Entering the House
There is no such thing as a free lunch. What on earth is Emperor Jiuyou planning?
Lu Zhen stepped forward first, wanting to offer his hand to Emperor Jiuyou to lead his horse as a gesture of goodwill, but suddenly he remembered that the Black King had a mouth full of sharp steel teeth and would not allow strangers to approach, so he gathered his sleeves and said loudly to everyone, "This is the Lord of Flashing Gold, the reincarnated Dragon God, who led the Dragon God Army to drive away the Ya people for us and occupied the Holy Land of the Kelin Clan!"
The Great Emperor Jiuyou did not move at all, only the Black King under his seat snorted impatiently.
Lu Zhensheng calmed down. In front of the crowd, he could not be disrespectful to Bailie's savior. So he bowed to the Nine Nether Emperor and said respectfully: "The Nine Nether Emperor rescued Bailie and solved our urgent need. His righteousness is as high as the sky. The Lu family is grateful!"
"You're welcome." The deep voice of Emperor Jiuyou echoed in everyone's heart, "It's my job."
This statement is very confusing. What is "one's share"? Among all the items listed, which one does it count as?
But he had finished his words, so Lu Zhensheng continued to talk in order to avoid a dull moment: "Now that the south has been settled, why did you come here and return to Bailie...?"
This is also a question for everyone.
"Lu Zhen invited me first, so I came." Emperor Jiuyou's voice was a little teasing, "Why, you are not welcome?"
"The Emperor has come in person, and the Lu family is honored. How can we be negligent?"
Lu Feiyan followed his brother and never spoke. Suddenly, he interrupted, "Your Majesty, the palace has already set up a banquet to welcome you."
Lu Zhensheng originally said this to the Lu family father and son, and those who knew about it felt that he had bad intentions. But when the Nine Nether Emperor came in person, things became interesting.
With so many eyes watching, Lu Zhensheng couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he could only smile enthusiastically: "Emperor, please!"
He just said that Emperor Jiuyou's loyalty to Bailie was "higher than the sky", so isn't it natural for the Lu Mansion to invite this benefactor to dinner now?
Emperor Jiuyou did not refuse. He jumped off the Black King and walked into the Lu Mansion with a swagger.
He had a terrifying aura, and the people in front of him avoided him.
Dozens of black-armored guards followed him in, and Lu Zhenxian and Lu Qingbang, brother and sister, also followed closely behind the emperor and entered the palace together.
Lu Zhensheng and Wu Dutong looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
The Emperor Jiuyou came with ill intentions, and no one knows what he is up to right now.
At this point, the two had no choice but to take one step at a time and follow in.
After being managed by generations of the Lu family, although the Lu Mansion is not large in area, the buildings are elegant and the gardens are exquisite. There are many huge trees that are hundreds of years old. There is even a tree also known as a spinulosa tree that is five meters tall and is seven hundred years old, but its branches and leaves are still green.
You know, Alsophila spinulosa is a fern.
It is rare to see ferns that grow this tall nowadays.
The banquet was held in the Xiangxie just below the Alsophila spinulosa. The day was perfect, the sun shone through the tender green branches and leaves, and sprinkled the ground with golden fragments.
"Tree demon?" Emperor Jiuyou patted the tree trunk and felt the surging vitality within it.
"That's right." Lu Zhensheng explained, "This old Alsophila tree signed a contract with Bailie to serve as the 'feng shui tree' here, which is equivalent to the local mountains and swamps."
Everyone took their seats according to their seats. The top seat was naturally given to Emperor Jiuyou. Lu Zhensheng sat on the left, while General Wu and General Huang sat right next to Lu Zhensheng to protect him.
They sensed a strong sense of ill intention from Emperor Jiuyou.
Today, almost all members of the Lu family are present.
Lu Zhensheng was afraid that Lu Laoliu's family would come back to plot something bad, so he gathered all the clansmen together, hoping that he would be afraid to take action. But the big boss of Cangyan Kingdom came in person, and it turned out that all the elders of the Lu family were there to accompany him, while the rest of the clansmen crowded outside the garden and looked inside.
The moment he sat down, the dragon armor faded away, and Emperor Jiuyou turned into an emperor on earth.
He has long eyebrows and bright eyes, and is handsome and extraordinary.
No one expected that the famous Lord of Flashing Gold was so young, and the Lu family outside the garden caused a commotion.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Zhensheng would have scolded him, but he was not in the mood today.
He quickly introduced the Lu family members at the table to Emperor Jiuyou: "These are the elders of my Lu family. This is my second uncle Lu Lianqing, and this is my fourth uncle Lu Lianyun..."
Whenever he introduces someone, that person will pay his respects to the Great Emperor Jiuyou.
He Lingchuan listened patiently, and then said: "The Bailie Lu family is a three thousand year old family. I thought that the Lu family had more than this number of people."
Everyone felt embarrassed when they heard this.
I don’t know if it’s because the local energy and human popularity influence each other, but Bailie hasn’t developed very well in recent decades, and the Lu family’s population is not prosperous either.
He Lingchuan had seen aristocratic families with a history of three or four hundred years in Beijia. Together with the direct and collateral branches, there were several thousand people.
In contrast, the Lu family, with a total population of no more than a hundred people across several generations.
They really can’t be called a “prosperous clan”.
Lu Zhensheng sighed: "In ancient times, my Lu family also produced many immortals. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy has declined since then. We will rise and fall together with the heaven and earth."
The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan's arms laughed sharply: "How dare you say that you thrive with the world? How shameless! Even the ancient dragons didn't dare to boast like this!"
The delicacies were served one after another, but He Lingchuan did not move his chopsticks. If he did not move, no one dared to move.
"The Lu family was born with destiny?" He said slowly, "I have heard that the key to the Lu family's continuation for a thousand years lies in the 'Son of Destiny'?"
Several elders nodded, and Lu Zhenxian added: "Whenever a family declines, there will be a leader who can lead the Lu family out of decline."
This "master" refers to the head of the household.
"Oh?" Emperor Jiuyou looked very interested. "Who is the most recent leader of the revival?"
"The generally accepted one was Lu Dingxun sixty years ago," Lu Zhenxian continued. "At that time, the Lu family was heavily in debt and could not continue. This Lu Dingxun, the seventh master, was a rare business genius. He started his business with the salt-colored pearls that appeared that summer and brought the Lu family to prosperity."
"Salt-colored pearls?"
"There is a large salt lake in the north of Bailie, which produces a kind of colorful clams. The adult one is as big as a bear's paw. This colorful clam can produce pearls, but the quantity is very small. Other kinds of clams may produce seven, eight or even ten small pearls, but the salt lake clams can only produce one. The advantage is that they are large and round in shape." Lu Zhenxian continued, "The salt lake colorful clams were originally an important product of Bailie. Every year, they could make money by producing pearls. But sixty years ago, for some reason, all the big clams in the lake died one after another, and the pearls collected were very few."
"The Lu family was very anxious but helpless, so they could only collect solutions from everywhere. Lu Dingxun found that the colored clams were affected by the red tide that broke out in the salt lake in those two years, so he introduced a kind of colored shrimp to clean up the algae. After a few years, the salt lake began to produce large pink and pure black pearls, which were expensive."
