Chapter 72 Visitors
After seeing off Tie Yuewu, who was anxious to turn around the country of Lu, Wuqi and his group had just returned from outside Jidu when they saw the brigade of strong patrol officers gathered outside Yanle Gong Mansion, carrying a pile of clothes, quilts and other fragments from several carriages. Yan Fu, the butler of the Gong Mansion, stood in front of the door blankly, watching the group of patrol officers carry things in and out, without even the intention of coming out to stop them.
Not only Yan Fu, but also other servants from the Duke Mansion avoided them from far away and did not dare to approach this group of people from the Fengshu.
Lu Chengfeng frowned, he walked out of the car and asked loudly, "Yan Fu, what's going on?"
Before Yan Fu came, Yan Bugui got out of nowhere. He respectfully bowed to Lu Chengfeng: "Sect Master, it was Grandpa who ordered Bugui to temporarily listen to the sect master, so Bugui brought his three hundred subordinates to stay temporarily."
Wuqi was stunned. Yan Bugui was next to Lu Chengfeng and listened to it for the time being? This is what Yan Jiao said the night before yesterday. But now it seems that things are a little wrong? Just listen to it for the time being. Do you need to bring 300 people to the moving house? Turning his head and looking at the servants in front of the official residence, Wuqi suddenly found that what he thought was wrong from yesterday was.
"Mr. Yan, do you know why there are only these managers and servants in our young master's mansion, and those guards?"
Lu Chengfeng also suddenly realized that Yan Legong Mansion is also a dignified duke's mansion. With Yan Buji's title and official position, he has thousands of guests. It is an ordinary matter to have more than 10,000 personal guards in the mansion. However, in Yan Legong Mansion, except for the officials and servants and maids, there is actually no one Yan Buji's servant or guard. This is outrageous.
Although the tree fell and the money scattered, the Yanle Duke’s Mansion has not yet collapsed. Are there any heir Lu Chengfeng?
Even if those servants go out to another place, those personal guards, especially those who have been raised by Duke Yan Le’s mansion for generations, should definitely stay in the mansion.
"Yan Fu!" Lu Chengfeng shouted at the butler who wanted to come here but shrank timidly and did not dare to come.
Yan Bugui looked back at Yan Fu, lowered his voice and sighed: "Sect Master, don't blame Yan Fu. These servants in charge are the most loyal servants of the Duke's Mansion. To put it bluntly, the so-called drowning of the river is just an external saying, but in fact, the Bugui was killed by the Dajiang River. The sharp sword pierced the heart, and even the soul was destroyed by someone using magic weapons."
Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly changed. Wuqi instinctively felt his hair standing up all over his body, and he seemed to be involved in a huge trouble again.
Yan Bugui whispered and told the current situation of Yan Le Gong Mansion. Yan Buji was obviously assassinated, and various clues showed that someone in Yan Le Gong Mansion colluded with an assassin. This incident even alarmed Yan Emperor Yan Dan, who had been in seclusion for many years. He personally issued an edict and sent a spy agency of the Great Yan Dynasty such as the Fengshi Department to jointly investigate the matter.
Therefore, all the disciples and personal guards of Yanle Duke Mansion were put into prison for investigation at this time. The huge Duke Mansion had no defense power. It was because of this that Yan Jianhui found an excuse to let Yan Bugui follow Lu Chengfeng and listen to it. One was to let Yan Bugui mobilize the power of the Fengshangsi to protect Lu Chengfeng, and the other was to let Lu Chengfeng be used as bait.
"The Dayan royal family died due to accidents. There are dozens of such things every year. After all, the Dayan royal family now has more than one million people, and any accidents can happen. However, the assassination of His Majesty's bloodline, and it is such a close bloodline as the Unruly Duke, and it is also the Duke of the Dayan Dynasty. This is the first time."
Yan Bugui looked at Lu Chengfeng with a gray face and smiled bitterly: "So, this case must be investigated to the end!"
Lu Chengfeng had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. No matter who it was, he knew that he suddenly stepped into a big vortex, and he was afraid he would not have a good temper.
Wuqi sighed helplessly. He hooked his finger at Zhao Chenzui and called Zhao Chenzui over: "From now, no matter where the young master goes, everyone will be guarding everywhere. Let the people in Mengcun wear heavy armor to protect the young master day and night."
Zhao Chenzui's face turned stern, and responded quickly, hurriedly entering the mansion to summon Meng Xiaobai and others to go. Now Lu Chengfeng is the Duke of the Dayan Dynasty, and everyone's glory and wealth lies with Lu Chengfeng alone. Zhao Chenzui was not careful.
Luo Kedi and Ma Liang also hurriedly came over. They didn't say much, but stood by Lu Chengfeng's side, with four eyes dripping out of shiny light and looked around vigilantly.
Yan Bugui shook his head without comment: "During the day, no one dares to make trouble in Jidu. At night, the sect leader only needs to put the formation on and the Fengshangsi to focus on it now, and there will be no major mistakes. The sect leader has just as long as he has less Jidu to come out."
Lu Chengfeng frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.
In Jidu, he didn't even have many familiar people, and he had not yet started contact with the powerful people of the Dayan Dynasty. Everything was just starting out. Now Lu Chengfeng can only passively accept these ups and downs and cannot resist.
Wuqi turned around and looked around, and suddenly remembered the city guards that had been expanded in Xiaomeng City. He pondered for a moment, then waved to Zhang Hu and Hu Wei, and gave them a few instructions. It was a helpless choice to transfer people from Xiaomeng City to Jidu. At least the soldiers in Xiaomeng City would not have any entanglements with Jidu.
After a while of busyness, the Fengshang Office arranged a residence close to the small building where Lu Chengfeng lived. Before he could sit down and take a breath, Yan Fu ran in tremblingly and carefully woven a portion of gold wire and a faint bamboo leaf pattern with silver wire. The greetings that came to his face were handed to Lu Chengfeng.
"Master, King Ci Yanheluo comes to visit!" Yan Fu's face was full of unconcealed shock.
Yan Bugui, who was sitting aside drinking tea, jumped up suddenly, and he shouted softly: "What? King Ci is visiting? The sect leader, you have to see him!"
King Ci Yan Heluo, one of the eight kings who are currently governing the national affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Yan Dan, the emperor of Yan Dynasty, has been in seclusion for many years, and the general Jing Ke and other important officials do not show up easily. They are all in seclusion, striving to break through the current realm in order to achieve stronger strength and longer lifespan. Their first generation descendants, that is, Yan Dan's children, are also in seclusion, and they are not involved in national affairs, either practicing or doing other things.
Yan Dan's grandson, who is the Yu Xuan generation, only three or five people who are enthusiastic about power and scheming. They have mastered noble departments like Guozong Mansion, with high positions but low power, and only play a role of supervision.
The ones who are truly responsible for the actual power of the Dayan Dynasty are Yan Dan’s eight great-grandchildren, eight people with titles of kings and are known as the “Eight Kings of the Dayan Governors of the Dayan Dynasty”. King Ren, King Yi, King Li, King Xin, King Zhong, King Xiao, King Min, and King Ci are the eight of them who formed the actual core of the Dayan Dynasty’s court.
King Ci Yan Heluo is the youngest among the Eight Kings. Although he is the great-grandson of Yan Dan's relatives, he is only in his fifties and is in his prime.
Yan Buji and Yan Heluo are the relationship between cousins. When Lu Chengfeng saw Yan Heluo, he had to call him cousin obediently.
In terms of titles, the title of the Eight Governors of the Eight Kings even surpassed that of Yu Xuan, who controlled the Guozong Mansion. Even though Lu Chengfeng inherited the title of Duke Yan Le and the official position of Zuo Guozheng, facing King Ci, no matter whether it is seniority, title or actual power, he could only obey the orders.
"Please, please!" Lu Chengfeng stood up and brought the people out of the gate.
The main gate of Yanlegong Mansion opened. Wuqi followed Lu Chengfeng and strode through the main gate. He saw a group of elite soldiers in front of the gate surrounded by a light yellow, shaped like a horse but with scales, spiral horns on the top of his head, and faint golden light in his eyes.
This is a rare "golden eye beast in the clouds and smoke". Once it becomes stubborn, it can run 30,000 miles a day and night. Its short-range sprint is even more scary and is one of the top mounts in the world. The two corners on its head are extremely hard and sharp, and it can be cut like a knife like iron as mud.
Yan Heluo, who was in his fifties, looked about thirty people. He had a white face and no beard, his cheeks were slightly longer, and there was a faint majesty all over his body that made people feel suffocated. When his eyes opened and closed, his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through the internal organs of a person. Judging from the faint aura on his body, he was actually a master of innate level, at least he was at the level of cultivation at the level of innate condensation.
As soon as he saw Yanheluo, Lu Chengfeng hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't know that King Ci is a great master, and he is in trouble to welcome him. Please forgive me."
Yan Heluo turned over and got off his mount and held Lu Chengfeng with one hand: "No need to be polite, I have the closest relationship with the unruly. I heard that you have attacked his title and official position, so I came to take a look."
He helped Lu Chengfeng up and Yan Heluo looked at Lu Chengfeng up and down for a moment, nodding and exclaiming: "A good person, it's my descendant of the Yan family. Your cultivation is better than your father. If he had the cultivation level of today, he would not have passed away suddenly."
As a son, Lu Chengfeng couldn't take Yan Heluo's words. He just looked sad and respectfully invited Yan Heluo to Yanlegong Mansion. The hundreds of soldiers brought by Yan Heluo followed Yan Heluo in, surrounding the front and back of the hospitality hall was airtight.
Seeing this scene, Wuqi couldn't help but grin. Is Yan Heluo afraid of death or what? His soldiers came into the house like this, and he didn't give Lu Chengfeng any face. He is an elder, and he is one of the eight kings who governed the government. He can't give his master face like this?
Shaking his head, Wuqi followed into the lobby, and Yan Bugui was saluting Yanheluo.
Yan Heluo just glanced at Yan Bugui, snorted gently, and signaled him to get up. Yan Bugui was just a gangster of a royal family, and his seniority was too far from Yan Heluo. Yan Heluo snorted lightly, giving Yan Bugui a great face.
Yan Bugui stood up obediently, stood aside, squinted his eyes and just stared at the guards in Yanheluo outside the lobby.
Yan Heluo and Lu Chengfeng sat down with the host and the maid just brought tea, and Yan Heluo spoke on his own.
"Chefeng, congratulations on your success as a title of the unruly brother. Well, I am here this time and I have something to discuss with you."
If Lu Chengfeng had not allowed him to speak, Yan Heluo said calmly: "There are seven iron mountains and five iron smelting workshops on your fiefdom. I will exchange these iron mountain workshops with you with five fishing grounds, three pearl farms and four jade mines by the East China Sea. You will handle the handover documents tomorrow!"
Use natural fishing grounds, pearl farms, and four jade ores that produce luxury goods to exchange for seven iron mountains and five iron smelting factories?
Before Lu Chengfeng could speak, Wuqi interrupted with a smile: "I dare to ask King Ci, why is this?"
Yan Heluo looked up and glared at Wuqi, sneering: "Who are you brave enough to interrupt? Come on, drag it down and beat three hundred sticks!"
