Journey to another world with a legend

After the court was over, Lu Xiaobu was immediately surrounded by nobles and nobles in the hall, and flattery came pouring in like a tide. These nobles are all human beings, anyone who is not blind can see that Lu Xiaobu Now he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, he is appointed as an official and sent to the mansion, and he betrothed his most beloved second daughter to Lu Xiaobu. For a new political star like Lu Xiaobu, how could the nobles not try their best to please him.

At this time, the fat man who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time had already dispersed, but Lu Xiaobu couldn't cope with the entanglement of these nobles, so he ran over and said to Lu Xiaobu, "Boss, what's going on? Your Majesty will give you a seal." What kind of official? Hehe, huh? Isn’t this the awesome gentleman who threw me out of the house yesterday? But the little nobleman who weighs more than 160 catties is constantly flattering there. The piece of land that Lu Xiaobu intends to establish a chamber of commerce is in his hands. The fat man went to talk to him yesterday, but he threw him out of the mansion. Do you think the fat man can Don't you bother him?

Seeing Lu Xiaobu looking at him, the little nobleman immediately dripped sweat from his forehead, and said awkwardly, "Hehe, um... How did I know that this fat man is actually Lord Lu's man, otherwise it would be considered a small How dare you, even the little ones dare not throw him out. In order to express my apology to the fat man, I might as well dedicate that piece of land to Mr. Lu. Although it is not worth much, it is also a small heart I hope Master Lu will accept it." He said, looking at Lu Xiaobu sincerely, of course, this expression was faked, but the little nobleman's heart is secretly bleeding, what is this called? Son?I was also cheap yesterday, wouldn't it be over if I sold it directly to that fat man, that's nearly 500 million gold coins.

Seeing this little nobleman's performance, Lu Xiaobu nodded and said: "Since this lord is so enthusiastic, I will not be disrespectful, but I won't ask for your things in vain. In this way, fat man, you can follow me when you get home later." This nobleman will go through the handover procedures, and transfer 200 million gold coins to this gentleman's amethyst card." After speaking, he ignored the little nobleman who was smiling, but his body was trembling slightly due to the pain in his heart.

The fat man looked at the expression of the little nobleman, feeling secretly refreshed, sir, are you pretending to be with me this time?Not only do you have to sell your broken land to me this time, you have to sell it cheaply, and you are not allowed to show a little unhappy expression, otherwise. . .hum. . .

Suddenly the crowd surrounding Lu Xiaobu parted ways, and saw the fat middle-aged man who was speaking for him in the main hall just now smiled and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Haha, Duke Lu is indeed young and promising. I don’t know if I’m free tonight, it just so happens that today is my little girl’s birthday, the old man has prepared a birthday party for her, if Duke Lu has time, you might as well come and have a look, hehe, my little girl misses Duke Lu very much.” He said He smiled mysteriously.

Lu Xiaobu was stunned when he said this, and he muttered in his heart: "What's the situation? Could it be that this middle-aged man is also here to sell his daughter to him? He misses me very much?" Lu Xiaobu thought carefully, He didn't expect that there would be a girl in the capital who would miss him.But because the middle-aged man in front of him helped him in the early court, although it might be a little effort for him, but Lu Xiaobu could see that if it wasn't for what the middle-aged man in front of him said, the emperor might have a big problem Maybe he changed his mind. In order to repay the favor of the middle-aged man, he had to go to that party today.

Just when Lu Xiaobu was in a daze, he suddenly felt someone poke him in the back. He looked at the fat man suspiciously, and saw that this guy was winking at him as a hint to him, and then looked at him still smiling. The middle-aged man, Lu Xiaobu suddenly understood something, and said to the middle-aged man: "Just now, thanks to the help of the lord in the hall, otherwise the boy's duke would not be able to become so smoothly, since If the adults invite you, even if you don’t have time, you have to put aside everything and go to your daughter’s birthday party.”

After hearing Lu Xiaobu's answer, the middle-aged man gave a noncommittal "Yes", and continued: "Okay, since Grand Duke Lu has agreed, the task assigned by my girl has been successfully completed, so I won't accept it." Please bother Duke Lu, young people are very good, but you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity in doing things, and be tactful so that you can gain a foothold in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed together like the imperial capital." He said and looked at the crowd surrounding Lu Xiaobu. The aristocrats, big and small, shook their heads and walked out of the crowd.

The nobles looked at the slightly fatter figure of the middle-aged man, they were quiet for a while, and immediately surrounded Lu Xiaobu with a more enthusiastic attitude than before. They said that their daughter looked like a fairy, and they admired Lu Xiaobu. For a long time, the one who said that his niece is versatile and has been in love with Lu Xiaobu very much, asked her to come to the house to tell the story.Lu Xiaobu's head hurt secretly, he left these matters to the fat man, and ran out of the imperial city in a panic.

Lu Xiaobu, who ran out of the noble encirclement, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked behind him with some fear, only to see that the fat man was being touched by this man like an ignorant girl surrounded by a circle of women. , the one grabbed him, looked helplessly and aggrieved at Lu Xiaobu who ran away.

I silently prayed for the fat man in my heart, hoping that he could go home before noon with his broken body. He still needs to deal with the land of the little nobleman, and he also needs to deal with the preparations for the chamber of commerce. The shortcomings that are too big are exposed. Now there are only a few people available for Lu Xiaobu, and Ouyang Xin and Gongsun Jiuyang are not bad in terms of combat effectiveness, but if they are doing business or something, they might as well donate gold coins to Those poor people, at least they can get their gratitude.

Rubbing his head depressedly, Lu Xiaobu decided to go to the slave market to see if he could buy a talent or something, although the odds of this were not much higher than the odds of winning the lottery in his previous life.

After wandering in several famous streets for a long time, Lu Xiaobu finally found a slave trading market named "Edward" in an inconspicuous place. As soon as he entered the slave market, Lu Xiaobu frowned. He couldn't help but wrinkled, the smell of this place was not much better than the sewer in his previous life, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

I saw cages of all kinds lined up on both sides of the whole street. Each cage was less than three square meters, but four or five slaves were crowded together. The few pieces of tattered cloth on them could only cover the other Important parts emitted a stench from their bodies. Lu Xiaobu even saw that some slaves' legs were rotten, and some fat white bugs were rolling back and forth in the wounds, but their masters did not treat them. next meaning.

Most of these slaves have dull eyes, pupils as if covered by a layer of mist, without the slightest desire for life, just mechanically follow the command of the slave master, doing various actions in the cage to attract the interest of the guests.

Seeing that the slaves on the whole street were like this, Lu Xiaobu's heart immediately turned cold. No matter what these slaves did before or how good their abilities were, as long as they lost confidence in life, they would lose their confidence in life. What I bought back was nothing more than a bunch of walking dead, which was useless.

But Lu Xiaobu still embraced the last bit of luck in his heart, endured the stench, and walked towards the other end of the street. . . .
