Chapter 54 Negotiation (Part )

"The Lu family?"

Inside the prince's bedroom, the prince frowned when he received the report from Eunuch Yuan. Although others didn't know that he wanted to take revenge on Zhang Rui, Lu Sheng knew it. But he wanted the Lu family to interfere at this time. What did he want to do?
I put a lot of effort into preparing the mansion for that guy, and I also used my mother's name. The other party had to think twice before refusing. I prepared many means, but they were ruined by the Lu family!
"Looking at the Lu family's butler, he must have known Zhang for a long time."

"Really?" The prince's eyes turned cold. "The Lu family has been a little restless these years. The man who was a guest at the Lu family two years ago, and the man surnamed Zhang this year is also related to the Lu family. But this prince didn't know that the Lu family is so well connected?"

"The degree of loyalty should be no problem." Eunuch Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, the two most outstanding children of the Lu family this generation have joined the Crown Prince, and when they were in the North Sea, didn't Lu Yuan die to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's name, the prince's expression eased a little. Lu Yuan had been his companion since he was nine years old. He was extremely talented. Not only was he top-notch in poetry, songs, classics, and Confucianism, he also had an excellent talent for magic. A first-class magician at the age of thirty was also a first-class existence in the history of the Lu family.

They had lived and eaten together since childhood and had a very good relationship. The first time he sneaked out of the palace to visit a brothel, it was he who took the blame for himself. It was no exaggeration to say that we were childhood friends.

When he was in Beihai City, he tried to test various elixirs on himself, which eventually led to his physical weakness. The evil spirit took advantage of him and he died miserably, which made him very sad.

But Lu Yuan is Lu Yuan, and the Lu family is the Lu family. Lu Yuan’s loyalty does not mean his loyalty to the Lu family. These aristocratic families are the cancer of the dynasty and the poisonous snakes at hand. Once they find an opportunity, it will be these people from the aristocratic families who will overthrow the dynasty!
Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside the palace came in a hurry to report: "Your Highness, the Zhang family has moved into the house given by the Lu family!"

"Heh..." The prince sneered when he heard this, and the slight excitement in his eyes that had just occurred because of Lu Yuan disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a sinister coldness.

"Well, when did the Ministry of Personnel grant official positions?"

"Your Highness." Eunuch Yuan quickly handed over a handkerchief. Although the Crown Prince had luckily escaped this time, his body was frighteningly weak. The imperial physicians in the palace tried their best to nourish the Crown Prince, but looking at his appearance, his health was getting worse day by day. If this continued...
"About the day after tomorrow."

"It would be a good opportunity to test his ability if we arrange the case at the Dali Temple as soon as possible."

Eunuch Yuan hesitated when he heard this. That case was quite sinister. If it were known to others, the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be tarnished. Why did he go to such lengths to embarrass that Lord Zhang? Speaking of which, Lord Zhang had saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, is this necessary?" he asked courageously.

Upon hearing this, the prince looked up at the other party with a cold look in his eyes, which made Eunuch Yuan's heart tremble.

"Just do it. I hope this is the last time you disobey me!"

Is this a violation?

Eunuch Yuan quickly nodded his head and said yes, feeling even more depressed. After the Crown Prince came back, his temper became even more vicious and overbearing. Although he was a little dark before, he at least seemed generous and magnanimous on the surface. What happened to him now?
"Yes, I will do it right away."

The prince took out the handkerchief only after the other party had left. Looking at the bright red blood on the handkerchief, his expression became even uglier.

There is definitely something wrong with the forbidden technique used by that group of dogs and slaves. I have taken all kinds of tonics, but my health is still getting worse. I must find a way, otherwise I will probably die before my father before I even succeed to the throne.

After his death, the third brother would most likely take his place. Others might not know, but he had known since childhood that the third brother had always had dirty thoughts about his mother!!!
I must get the box from that man named Zhang!
He recalled that when Master Tian died, although the girl's attack was extremely powerful, a sorcerer is not something that can be dealt with simply by killing him. Many warriors are unwilling to deal with a sorcerer because once the sorcerer dies, the evil spirit in his body will run rampant, and in many cases it is more terrifying than the sorcerer himself.

Master Tian was a first-class sorcerer, and he had a lot of evil spirits on him, but nothing happened to him at that time.

He saw clearly that it was the man surnamed Zhang who opened the box, and then all the evil spirits in Master Tian seemed to go inside!
He had a feeling that the box was a treasure, and it was a treasure that could change his destiny!
One hour ago:

"Lord Zhang is really unexpected." Lu Chengfeng stared at the other party. If he was not completely unsure, he would even want to kill the other party with his own hands.

A person who can see through the Lu family's illusion array is really too threatening! !

"Your Excellency, the Duke, do not be too surprised." Zhang Rui said calmly, "This world is so big, and many people's abilities are beyond your expectation. As far as I know, there are more than three people in the capital who can see through the Lord of God."

"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "Then may I ask Master Zhang to teach me?"

"Lord Duke wants intelligence, what can you give me?" Zhang Rui said directly: "Don't say that your Lu family has no other thoughts. Lord Hundred Eyes Divine Lord's centipede can't be released casually. If the Lu family is only satisfied with its current status, there is no need to make such a plan."

"You..." Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank again. The other party actually knew the name of the Hundred-Eyed God!
The identity of the God was discovered only once by Taizu. The content of Taizu's blood contract at that time stated that the secret of the Hundred-Eyed God should not be leaked easily. Only the emperor who ascended the throne in all dynasties knew it. In the year when Emperor Hongzhi passed away, the Lu family participated in the fight for the throne and covered up the secret forever.

Nowadays, even the royal family doesn’t know what the Hundred-Eyed God is. Unexpectedly, this wild boy who suddenly appeared knew everything!

Zhang Rui looked at the other party's shocked expression and had some guesses in his mind. Yes, he recognized the origin of the Lu family's Yin God at a glance outside the yard just now.

The main reason was that the shape of that thing was too conspicuous, with a human head and a worm body, and hundreds of creepy eyes on its body. This shape was the most easily recognizable of the evil spirits I had designed in my scrapped drafts back then. I didn't expect it to have become a ghost god worshipped by a wealthy family!
The monster's original god was designed with reference to the hundred-eyed centipede in the Journey to the West mythology. One of its characteristics is the centipede seed, which can be planted in the human body to control the opponent with poisonous insects. Once the seed is planted, even if the opponent has extraordinary abilities, he will be controlled and reduced to a running dog.

However, this will consume the blood and essence of the Hundred-eyed Centipede, so it will not be used unless necessary.

But since the Lu family even designed to plant one for a poor farmer like him, it meant that the Lu family was most likely using a plan to cast a wide net. Perhaps over the years, the Lu family had secretly controlled countless people with this magical power.

Most likely, they were planted when the opponent was still underdeveloped. As long as you are willing to spend time planning this thing and the Hundred-Eyed Centipede has sufficient supplies, the opportunities for trial and error are almost unlimited. Court officials, people in the martial arts world, and even some children of other aristocratic families who are not valued may all be targets of the Lu family. Over time, the power they secretly cultivate may exceed the imagination of the royal family.

Especially when he told the other party about the origin of the Hundred-Eyed God, he could guess that few people in the world knew the origin of the Lu family's Yin God, let alone its unique centipede characteristics. The Lu family has been planning for a long time and is obviously a family that wants to rebel! !

Looking at Zhang Rui calmly drinking tea, Lu Chengfeng suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and whispered, "What does Lord Zhang want?"

The other party now knew almost everything about the Lu family, but the Lu family knew nothing about him. In his fifty-plus years of life, this was the first time that Lu Chengfeng had felt so passive.

"The Crown Prince wants to target me. I am about to be promoted to the position of Dali Temple. There must be something waiting for me. Does the Duke know the information?"

"How can I know what Your Highness wants to do?"

"Then there's no need to talk anymore." Zhang Rui was about to stand up after hearing that.

"Wait a moment!" Lu Chengfeng quickly stood up to comfort him: "Master Zhang, please don't be so strong." Lu Chengfeng laughed, completely losing his condescending attitude just now, and laughed: "Two days, at most two days, I will send you accurate information!"

"Okay!" Zhang Rui nodded. "Secondly, I want a warlock teacher, the kind that teaches from the very beginning."

"What?" Lu Chengfeng was stunned and looked at Zhang Rui: "Are you kidding, sir?"

According to the intelligence, this guy was able to kill Tian Ye. Although it was that girl who did it, no matter how powerful a warrior is, it is difficult to control the evil spirits after the death of a sorcerer. But according to the intelligence, there was no evil spirit running rampant after Tian Ye's death. The only possibility is that this Lord Zhang took direct action to solve the problem!
In addition to the ability to see through the Lu family's illusion array, the man in front of him is conservatively a first-class sorcerer.

What else do we need an enlightenment warlock for?
"I am not that free." Zhang Rui said with a smile, "Isn't this request too high?"

Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow I will second an outstanding elder from the clan."

"My Lord." Zhang Rui interrupted him directly: "I need an enlightenment sorcerer, I won't return it. Are you sure you want to give me an elder?"

Lu Chengfeng: “.”

"My Lord, you want a sorcerer?"

"Yes!" Zhang Rui said with a smile.

"Can I ask the reason?" Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes.

"cannot."

"Really?" Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Then you must show some sincerity first. Sorcerers are extremely valuable if they have slaves!"

Zhang Rui nodded when he heard this. He had to get this sorcerer from the Lu family. In fact, he was not very interested in the sorcerer's training method at the beginning. The thought of coexisting with evil spirits was creepy.

But the system of weapon refiners is actually very similar to that of sorcerers. Now that he no longer has the inheritance of weapon refiners, he can only think about starting with the sorcerers and using the Heavenly Secret Box to see if he can research it out.

Relying on external objects to scare people is not a long-term solution after all. If you want to protect your family, you still have to be strong enough yourself!

And now is also a great opportunity. Centipede is a very buggy thing that can control people, but it has a big hidden danger. If it is used well,
"Doesn't the Duke want to know who else in the capital can see through the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord?" Zhang Rui said as he slowly opened the scroll he brought with him: "The owner of the painting market has actually already explored your place thoroughly!"

As the scroll opened, Lu Chengfeng stood up suddenly, and saw that the image of the Hundred-Eyed God in Zhang Rui's scroll was exactly that of the Hundred-Eyed God!!!
