The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Di Shimi thought to himself that attacking the top lane just now didn't work, so this time he would attack the bottom lane.

He immediately kicked Zixu's knee, but Zixu quickly turned around to avoid it and came behind him in an instant.

He kicked Di Shimi in the crook of his other leg.

There was a thud, and General Di fell to the ground in a split position, howling in pain.

Zixu hurried forward and wanted to help him up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the general grabbed it and pulled him into his arms.

Zixu turned around quickly, grabbed his wrist with his other hand and lifted it up hard.

He lifted up the body weighing more than 200 pounds like a chicken and placed it gently on the ground.

He quickly stepped back, bowed, and said with a smile, "General, I'm sorry for the offense!"

Di Shimi felt that there was no place on his body that was not painful.

He touched his wrist with a grin on his face, his face flushed with shame.

As a great general, he was defeated by Zixu before he could even finish his moves.

Young Master Xu is truly an otherworldly expert. No, I must get my face back today.

How to find it? He couldn't beat him, so he thought about it and thought, well, why not take the young master as his teacher.

If Zixu accepts me as his disciple, wouldn't that save his reputation? It's only natural for a master to beat his disciple.

Not only can I save face, but I can also learn some real skills. That's right! That's the way!

Thinking of this, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Young Master, you are a martial arts master with extraordinary skills. I am inferior to you in skills. I am no match for you. I admit defeat!"

"Mi has another unwelcome request. I would like to be your disciple. If you don't mind my stupidity, please accept me as your disciple!"

Zixu looked at the half-broken black tower kneeling on the ground and felt very embarrassed.

He was a great general of the State of Lu, but he knelt down before him in front of so many people and even wanted to be his disciple.

If I don't agree, wouldn't that be a loss of face for him? If I agree, how can I be his master and teach him martial arts...

After thinking it over, I decided to agree to him first, otherwise today's matter would not end well. I can talk about the future later.

He hurriedly helped Di Shimi up: "Very good! Since you and I have a master-disciple relationship, Zixu will accept you as the general."

Duke Xiang of Lu laughed heartily at the sight: "Great, great! Looks like I've gained another powerful general in my court!"

"Zi Xu, please listen to me. I will appoint you as a second-rank military assistant and grant you a mansion."

"Fifty attendants and maids each will be allowed to enter the court and participate in government affairs starting tomorrow!"

Zixu was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Qiuqiu would ask for such a high official position for him.

He immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Three days later, Zi Xu and others moved out of the Prince's Mansion and moved into the house rewarded by Duke Xiang of Lu.

Shusun Bao also ordered people to deliver Zixu's gold, silver, jewelry and other items to his house intact.

In the Fugui Palace, Zixuan looked at the secret report handed to her by Qiwu with worry.

Who would have thought that the two children would run away to the State of Lu and even become high-ranking officials there?

This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that my son has finally grown up and can stand on his own.

The bad thing is that my son and daughter have never left the wealthy city since they were young, and they don’t know much about the outside world.

Having never experienced the dangers of the world, can you cope with the intrigues and hypocrisy in the outside world with ease?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened and worried he became. My son! My beloved child!

It’s all my mother’s fault for not being smart enough to think of the paternity test method earlier.

That's why you and Ye'er ran away from home. Oh, and the paternity test...

Zixuan thought of the paternity test and immediately wrote a letter to his son.

Let him send some of his and Ziye's hair or blood to Fugui City.

He also told his son and daughter to be careful in Lu and think twice before doing anything.

He also wrote a letter to Duke Xiang of Lu, asking him to take good care of his two children.

Order Qiwu to notify the embassy and special agents stationed in Lu State to protect them well and not let any mistakes happen.

He then prepared more than a dozen boxes of gold, knives and coins for his son and ordered a messenger to take them to Qufu.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Linzi City, Qingfeng was immediately fascinated by Lu Pu'er's wife after he had an affair with her.

The two of them are deeply in love and inseparable, and they wish they could never be apart for even a moment.

So he called Lu Pu'er to discuss it with him: "Pu'er, I really like the hustle and bustle. Living alone is too boring."

"I plan to move into your house so I can drink and chat with you every day. What do you think?"

When Lu Puma heard this, she was very pleased and immediately agreed: "Excellent, excellent! I couldn't ask for more."

Qing Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately handed over the government affairs to his son Qing She.

He moved to Lu Pu'er's house with his wives, concubines and money.

From then on, the two families lived together, drinking and having fun every day.

The wives and concubines also got along very well, and their relationship became closer from then on.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Pu'ao asked Qingfeng to recall her brother Lu Pugui, who had fled to Lu.

Qing Feng was very surprised and asked, "Why did your brother flee to Lu?"

Lu Pu'er sighed, "Alas, Prime Minister, you don't know, it's just that my brother was a minister of the late king."

"After the late king passed away, he was afraid that Cui Zhu would kill him, so he fled to Lu State out of fear."

Qing Feng laughed heartily after hearing this: "Brother, you are too timid! With this true form here, who dares to touch him?"

"Let him return home. I will reward him with an official position and let your brother become a famous retainer in Sheer Mansion. What do you think?"

Lu Pu's heart was filled with joy and she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your great kindness!"

"From now on, the lives of my two brothers belong to you. No matter if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate to die!"

After hearing this, Qing Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Great! With your brother's help, I have nothing to worry about at home!"

After Lu Pugui returned to his country, he was immediately sent by Qingfeng to his son's house to serve as a personal servant.

Lu Pugui was very shrewd. He liked to observe people's words and expressions and cater to their preferences. He was also good at flattery, so he was deeply favored by Qingshe.

He saw that this man had a dignified appearance, extraordinary appearance, a strong body and great strength.

She intended to marry her daughter to him, but his wife disagreed: "Master, Lu and your ancestors are from the same clan, how can we marry each other?"

Qing She glared at her: "It's been so many lifetimes! The blood relationship has long faded!"

"It would be a shame to abandon Pu Gui, who is so outstanding. In order to win people's hearts, I can't care about so many things!"

"Just let me do this, and don't say anything more, woman!"

So he ignored his family's opposition and quickly betrothed his daughter to Lu Pugui.

From then on, the two became a family, calling each other father-in-law and son-in-law, and their relationship became closer.

A close friend of Lu Pugui asked him, "When a man and a woman marry, they should distinguish between different surnames. Why don't you marry someone from the same clan?"

Lu Bogui chuckled, "They knew we were from the same clan, yet they still betrothed their daughter to me."

"Since they don't mind the dark side, why should I refuse?"

"As long as I can achieve my goal, there's no need to worry about so many things."
