Imperial capital?

Lu An was startled, looked at this person in astonishment, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Lu An's puzzled look, the man smiled, opened the folding fan with a 'pop', stood in front of his chest, and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am a disciple of Zhou Changtian in the imperial capital. My name is Gao Jue."

"I'm Lu An." Hearing this, Lu An raised his hands and said, "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 to be unclear." Gao Jue smiled and said, "Our sect leader Zhou Changtian is the Minister of Industry of Tiancheng Kingdom!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu An was immediately shocked!

If he doesn’t even know what the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is, then he probably won’t have to live anymore. The official position of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the first rank, and all engineering construction and farmland water conservancy across the country are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. As the head of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister naturally has power.

!

There is a saying among the people that among the six ministries, the richest is the Ministry of Industry. With so many projects across the country, the Ministry of Industry takes out countless amounts of money from the national treasury every year. As for how much it has embezzled, no one knows.

"It turns out that you are a disciple of the Minister of Industry." Lu An smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, those who don't know are not guilty!" Gao Jue smiled and waved his hand generously, "To tell you the truth, these are all antiques that I helped Zhou Shangshu get from other countries. They were just transported from Nanhai City.

All the things are priceless. I am somewhat of a celebrity in front of Zhou Shangshu. If you join Zhou Shangshu’s disciples, I can also introduce you to them."

"Zhou Shangshu's favorite thing as an official is talents, and he appreciates people with a bright future like you." Gao Jue said with a smile, looking at Lu An confidently. In his opinion, no one would refuse this temptation.

However, Lu An's brows furrowed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are so flattering. I am just an ordinary person, my cultivation level is not high, and I have never thought about getting promoted to a noble rank."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Jue was stunned. He looked at the young man in astonishment, and even didn't even react.

This young man ----- actually refused?

"Are you sure?" Gao Jue said, somewhat doubting whether he heard it correctly, "You have to know that joining Zhou Shangshu's sect means that you will rise to great heights and be superior to others! Even in the imperial capital, anyone who sees you will have to pay tribute.

What a bit of face. If you leave the imperial capital, officials from all over the country will arrest you!"

This is true. Although he is just an ordinary disciple and seems to be of no use, he is Zhou Changtian's disciple after all. As the saying goes, if one person can reach heaven, even a disciple is better than a local official.

"Let's forget it." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm not meant to be an official. If I go, I will only cause trouble for you. Besides, I'm used to wandering around and can't calm down."

Seeing Lu An refuse again, Gao Jue's face finally turned gloomy this time. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to recruit this boy to join his gang, but this boy would be so disrespectful.

"I don't know how to praise!" Gao Jue's face darkened and he said coldly, "There are many people in Tiancheng country who are trying to join Zhou Shangshu's disciples, but they can't. I invited you to join, but you refused twice! You are the only one like you.

, you will never become a climate in your lifetime!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Jue snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and walked away!

Seeing Gao Jue leaving angrily, Lu An's expression did not change at all, and he continued to eat the steamed buns as if nothing had happened. However, he did not change, and Yao beside him couldn't help but speak.

"Aren't you angry when he said that to you?" Yao asked softly.

"Don't be angry." Lu An was startled when he heard this, looked at Yao, and said with a smile, "No need."

"..." Yao glanced at Gao Jue's leaving figure, then looked at Lu An, and said again, "I think he said something wrong."

"What are you talking about?" Lu An was startled and asked.

"I think you will definitely become a great person in the future." Yao's face became firm and he said, "You will definitely become a very powerful person in the future. I

I believe it very much!”

Lu An was stunned when he heard this. After looking at Yao's firm eyes, he couldn't help but smile with relief and said softly, "I also hope that I can become stronger and stronger. I still have many, many things I want to do."

Yao Yao was a little curious when she heard this. Lu An had never told her about him before and asked, "For example - what?"

But this time, Lu An didn't answer.

He does have a lot to do. He wants to know his life experience, he wants to help the people in the black mist save someone, and he wants to find Fu Yu...

There are many other things that Lu An has promised to others, and he needs to do them. The only requirement for him to do these things is to continuously improve his own strength.

Seeing that Lu An didn't say anything, Yao didn't ask any more questions. Just when the two of them finished eating and were about to return to the carriage and wait to continue their journey, Zhang Rui suddenly walked over from a distance.

Soon, Zhang Rui came to Lu An, handed the three-point package to Lu An, and said coldly, "This is the material for the three-point Sanyuan Dan, which I paid you in advance. As for the elixir spectrum of the Sanyuan Dan,

, I will naturally give it to you when we get to the Imperial Capital."

Lu An looked at Zhang Rui's still somewhat unfriendly expression and didn't say much. He took the three materials and said, "Thank you."

Zhang Rui didn't say anything, turned around and left directly.

Soon, the convoy moved forward again. After all, it would take half a month to get to the imperial capital from here, even if they worked day and night. During this half month, they did not dare to relax at all.

Next, for seven consecutive days, the convoy really kept driving day and night. This was actually what Gao Jue requested. He would rather spend a little more money and present everything to Zhou Shangshu as quickly as possible.

During the seven days, the escorts were divided into two groups, switching back and forth day and night. One carriage was free at the end, and those who were sleepy immediately went inside to take a nap.

Compared with these people, Lu An and Yao are much more relaxed. Yao's work and rest time are still very regular, while Lu An's practice replaces sleep.

.And he has been very clean these days. From the first day he rejected Gao Jue, that person never came to see him again, including Zhang Rui.

These days, Zhang Rui really didn't say a word to him, or even looked at him. With Zhang Rui taking the lead, it was naturally impossible for those escorts to talk to him. Now, he and Yao were completely transparent people in the team.

However, Lu An is also happy to be clean and able to concentrate on his cultivation. He wants to upgrade himself to the first-level peak as soon as possible, but now he is still far away from the first-level peak.

——————

Two hundred miles away.

This is the first mountain range we encountered when we started our journey from Hu Tiecheng. The mountains are neither big nor small, and can only be considered medium. But because they are surrounded by plains, there are no strange beasts in the mountains. And around the mountains, almost

There are no villages or towns, and there are almost no people in this area.

At this moment, in the huge cave on one of the mountain peaks, someone suddenly ran in quickly from the outside, ran quickly through the crowd, and stopped when they reached the deepest part!

"Report!" The man shouted loudly, "Boss, the convoy is probably less than two hundred miles away from here. It is estimated that it will be able to enter the mountains before dark!"

The person sitting at the top immediately lit up after hearing this. He slammed his chair and stood up, saying loudly, "Sure enough, there is a convoy passing by. Those people didn't lie to me!"

As he said that, the man turned to look at the two people beside him and said loudly, "Second brother, third brother, after this vote is done, we will be completely distributed! There is no need to stay in the mountains by then, we can take it with us

Brothers, let’s go to a city together and let’s set up a chamber of commerce for fun!”

"Yeah!" The second brother also nodded excitedly, but he hesitated again and asked, "Brother, but isn't it a bit dangerous for us to intervene in the competition between those high-ranking officials..."

"What do you know? Wealth can be found in danger!" The man said loudly, "As long as you have money, let alone Zhou Shangshu's things, even if they belong to the emperor, I will grab them!"
