I have an inn in Xianxia

Chapter 432

The person in front of him was like nothingness, if he didn't take the initiative to speak, no one would notice him.

But once he opens his mouth, your attention will be focused on him all the time. At this moment, he seems to be the center of this world.

This is a refined and middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance and can't be found in the crowd. He smiles very kindly, which makes people feel a kind of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He is 1.7 meters five, slightly shorter than Lu Cheng, with his hands behind his waist, walking towards Lu Cheng.

"Emperor Hu Gong?" Lu Cheng stared at the other party and said so.

"If you don't dislike it, just call me uncle. The so-called Great Emperor is just for others to hear. With the ability of shopkeeper Lu, if he doesn't have a relationship with my daughter, we should be equals."

"I don't know why you are so anxious to ask me to enter the palace, Huber?"

Two days ago, Lu Cheng was still wondering that it was unreasonable for Emperor Hu Gong to issue such an order, and even guessed whether someone would falsely pass on the emperor's order, but these guesses were overturned by himself.

After staying in the imperial capital for two days, the news that Lu Cheng was going to be arrested spread all over the city. Lu Cheng suddenly realized that this news was sent by Emperor Hugong himself. I want to see myself, but there are some things that I can't say on the bright side.

"Hahaha, I have heard the name of shopkeeper Lu. Everyone in the world thought I was going to arrest you, but you are the only one who can see my true thoughts."

"Hu Bo's reputation is too high. This in itself is just a test for you princes. Why do you have a feeling that you know you better than me." Lu Cheng took advantage of it by keeping silent.

"Please sit down." Emperor Hu Gong was very easy-going. If he hadn't seen him in the depths of the palace, Lu Cheng would never have thought that the most powerful man in the Hu country would have such a posture.

The two sat on a stone bench in the shade of a small tree.

"Shopkeeper Lu, do you know why I called you in this way?"

"Today I came to ask clearly." Lu Cheng said bluntly.

"Hahaha, okay, I like this way of speaking, straight to the point."

"Before, I was very curious, how could the majestic Emperor Hu Gong fail to see the reason why the map of war equipment was sold to other countries."

"Yes, I can see it, but unfortunately, besides me, who else in this palace has seen this, the map of war equipment, this powerful thing will completely bring the Three Kingdoms to a truce, and the people will be peaceful and settled down." Speaking of this, Emperor Hugong's eyes showed some fatigue.

Everyone thinks that the emperor's heart is concerned with the hegemony of the country, but they don't know that the people who look forward to peace the most are the few people at the top. As long as they are not crazy, no one will think about fighting all day long.

"Whether you can't see it, or you don't want to see it, Huber, you are a little deceiving yourself."

Emperor Hu Gong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "What a deceitful self, it seems that I really did not find the wrong person this time."

Lu Cheng didn't answer, he knew that what Emperor Hugong was going to say next was what he wanted to know most.

"Shopkeeper Lu must have heard some rumors in the city. Your reputation is not popular among the people."

"It doesn't matter, I am a businessman myself."

"Is it really all right?"

Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Emperor Hu Gong's tone gave him a bad premonition.

"If you're just a businessman, it's reasonable to resell war weapons, but as a son-in-law, it's a bit ambitious, and when the son-in-law enters the palace, he kills the current emperor. I don't know if shopkeeper Lu can bear the crime." Can you afford it?"

Lu Cheng wanted to speak, but Emperor Hu Gong stopped him with his hand.

"Listen to me, now the world seems to be in the heyday of the Three Kingdoms, but everyone in the know understands that I, the Hu Kingdom, can only be regarded as the weakest of the Three Kingdoms. All along, the other two countries have been eyeing my Hu Kingdom. The appearance of the map of war equipment gave me a chance to breathe, and with such things as checks and balances, the strength of troops can no longer be a decisive advantage. For this, I have to thank you very much."

"It's just that I don't have much time."

"Not much time? Why do you say that, Huber?"

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Lu, I'm afraid you know some things better than I do. On the ship, you purposely revealed the news about my death, just to find out about the owner of the ship."

"It really is you." Lu Cheng showed a look of relief, and took out a sachet from his arms. It was the one he got on the boat the night before, and it contained information about the private soldiers of the kings and grandchildren.

Originally, Lu Cheng just had the mentality of giving it a try. After all, it is conceivable that the forces behind it can operate such a ship on the Huangdu Canal. He first guessed that it was the Royal family, but on it, even the Royal family There are scandals.

This made Lu Cheng overturn his initial guess, until he saw the news of the rape in the palace on the lower deck of the cabin, and at that time, an idea spread in his mind.

For Lu Cheng, there is a lot of news about the magical weapons and rare treasures. He can even tell the other party when the ancient times will come, but on the contrary, he wants to tell the news about Hu Gong's death, and his intention is to test.

Now, he has an answer.

The owner of that ship is indeed the royal family, and the current emperor, Hu Gong, has transformed into a mysterious character and become the owner of the ship.

"Treasurer Lu, you know more than I imagined. I also sent someone to check your origin, but it was a blank sheet of paper, as if there was no past. I didn't know until the news of Dugu City came. , are you from that remote place?"

"Probably." Lu Cheng nodded.

"There is nothing wrong with your background, and your thinking ability is even higher than that of every prince. You know my situation very well. There is no way out when the demons enter the body. Stepping into a new field, no matter what the situation is, is completely acceptable to me personally, but I can't let go of this country."

"Now, inside and outside the imperial palace, the eyes and ears of the other two countries are all over the place. If there is any movement from me, it will be transmitted to the other two countries at the first time. At that time, not only will there be chaos in the country, I am afraid that Zhao Qin and the two countries will also come to the city. Now my sons and daughters I'm afraid I can't compete with others."

"So you want to stigmatize me? Let me bear this charge openly, so that all the princesses and princes will point their fingers at me, so that the heir you choose can stabilize the position?"

Lu Cheng took the initiative to take what Emperor Hugong was about to say.

"That's right. After hearing the news from Dugu City, I decided that this candidate must be you. Other people killing me will not be able to delay time, but you are different. With your strength and influence, I'm afraid My sons and daughters can't threaten you, similarly, your shopkeeper Lu's reputation outside, I believe it can also make Zhao Qin and the two countries fearful, and when everyone recovers, I believe the palace has stabilized."

Emperor Hu Gong didn't hide anything, he revealed all his plans, because he knew that he couldn't hide anything in front of this young man.

"What are my benefits?" Lu Cheng asked, without agreeing or refusing, and talked about the reward first.

"As expected of a businessman, what do you want?"

"Half the right!"
