An hour later, a bowl of porridge was brought to Wei Ying.

Although the porridge is very simple, it is just rice porridge with some minced meat and a little salt.

But Wei Ying, whose temperature had dropped, smelled very appetizing.

She finished the bowl of porridge and asked Ye Feihong, "Did Lu Xunhuan cook this?"

Ye Feihong said: "No, I endured it."

Wei Ying put down the bowl and said to the maid, "I smell so much alcohol. Please boil some water for me. I need to take a bath."

After giving the maid an order, she said to Ye Feihong, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now."

Ye Feihong said, "Young Master said that your fever has just subsided and you are weak. Try not to be exposed to cold wind and go out for the next few days. Take the decoction three times a day and drink it regularly. Also, drink more warm water instead of cold water, eat hot food instead of cold food, and avoid cold fruits..."

Wei Ying lay down again: "Was he a woman in his previous life? Why are you so long-winded? I get it, you guys can go back."

The next morning, Lu Xunhuan rushed to the left camp and said to the soldiers, "After such a long and arduous training, everyone must be tired. Since Lord Wei is ill and can't come to observe, how about I give you three days off?"

"it is good……"

There was thunderous applause and cheers from below.

Lu Xun Huan waited until the applause died down before continuing, "Giving you a day off doesn't mean you can act recklessly. Everyone must abide by military regulations. Anyone who violates them, harasses civilians, or is reported will be severely punished. Do you all remember this?"

Below, everyone answered in unison: "Remember."

Lu Xunhuan waved his hand and said, "Disband."

The soldiers cheered and quickly dispersed. Soon, the training ground was empty.

Lu Xun Huan said to Zhao Yi, "Brother Zhao, you should go and have fun too. Come back in three days."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

After leaving the training ground, he returned to the courtyard in the south of the city and changed his clothes.

"Qingdai, let's go."

The two men went out, took a carriage, and drove through the streets and alleys until they arrived at a large mansion in the city.

Qiao Yunzhi had been waiting at the door for a long time. She personally stepped forward and opened the curtain: "Please come in."

Lu Xunhuan winked at her and said, "Don't be so polite."

Qiao Yunzhi responded, "Okay."

She took Lu Xunhuan all the way inside and finally arrived at Qiao Zheng's study.

"Go in, my dad is waiting for you inside."

Lu Xunhuan nodded, pushed the door open and stepped in.

Qiao Yunzhi turned around and pulled Qingdai: "Let's go somewhere else."

In the study, good tea had already been brewed, with steam rising and a rich tea aroma.

After Lu Xunhuan sat down, Qiao Zheng said, "As a disciple of Dengtianmen, it's logically impossible for your strength to improve so rapidly. This is what makes me very confused."

"I sent everyone to test you before, and sent Qingdai to investigate you, but we all failed."

“So, I was thinking, where do you come from?”

He picked up the teapot and poured amber tea into the jade cup.

"Later, you arrived in Zhongzhou City and impressed me time and time again. You, a person without any foundation in Zhongzhou City, were able to win the position of captain."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "No, how could I not have a foundation? Aren't Sima Cao and the current prefect my backers?"

Qiao Zheng poured the tea and slowly pushed the cup towards Lu Xunhuan. "I've done some research. You and them didn't have any connection at first. They're willing to help you because you must have something they can use. But how much of you can they use?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You asked me to come here just to talk about these useless things?"

Qiao Zheng shook his head: "I asked Yunzhi, but she knew your secret but she kept it secret. I called Qingdai back several times to ask her in detail, but I found that her heart was no longer in the Immortal Friends Association."

Qiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Can you tell me who you are? Why does the Sixth Prince appreciate you? Why does Elder He want to protect you? From what I hear, even the Shenlong Pavilion is very close to you."

Lu Xun Huan also picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Tell me why you are trying to make money by any means necessary, and I will tell you who I am."

There was a trace of embarrassment on Qiao Zheng's face. He was the one who secretly supported the Black Stone Village and helped sell the stolen goods. This was not just unscrupulous, he was willing to harm the people for money.

He pondered for a while and said, "Tell me first, are you a member of my Immortal Friends Association?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "Yes."

Although Qiao Yunzhi had previously told Qiao Zheng that Lu Xunhuan was a member of the Immortal Friends Association, Qiao Zheng was still very shocked when he heard Lu Xunhuan admit it in person.

Because this is unbelievable and hard to imagine.

Lu Xunhuan put down his teacup: "It's your turn."

Qiao Zheng sighed, "Well, all of us branch presidents have received secret orders from the president, telling us to use any means necessary to amass wealth. He also gave us specific tasks, and if we fail to complete them, we will be punished."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "How much is the mission given to you?"

Qiao Zheng replied, "One million taels of silver a year."

Lu Xunhuan was very surprised when he heard the figure of one million taels. In Zhongzhou, could Qiao Zheng collect one million taels of silver in a year?

Qiao Zheng sighed again: "How can I accomplish this if I don't resort to those crooked methods?"

Lu Xun Huan asked again: "What does he want to do with all this wealth?"

Qiao Zheng shook his head and said, "How could he possibly tell us what he was thinking? Our only source of income is from doing business in Zhongzhou City. Zhongzhou is a poor place, with only one immortal family. The annual membership fee for Dengtianmen is only one thousand taels."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "I understand."

Qiao Zheng asked: "Can you tell me now who you are?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "I am Lu Xunhuan. People call me Captain Lu, but you can also call me Sect Leader Lu, or Master Lu."

Qiao Zheng shook his head: "You must have a secret identity."

Lu Xun Huan pulled out the golden hoop from his bosom and said, "I'm going to show you something. If you reveal the secret, you won't live any longer."

He untied the cloth that wrapped the golden hoop, and a golden hoop appeared in front of Qiao Zheng with a golden glow.

Qiao Zheng was so frightened that his face turned pale. He had already left his seat and knelt down with a thud: "Young Master..."

Lu Xun Huan quickly wrapped up the golden hoop again: "I didn't want to show it to you, but you are so stupid that I can't wake you up. I told Qiao Yunzhi not to reveal it, so she naturally didn't dare to tell you."

He hid the golden hoop in his arms: "But at least she has told you that I am from the Immortal Friends Association. Can't you even trust your daughter?"

Qiao Zheng kowtowed and said, "Young Master, please calm down... Young Master, please forgive me..."

Lu Xunhuan picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp: "Do you understand my secret identity?"

Qiao Zheng kowtowed again: "I understand, I understand..."

Lu Xun Huan snorted, "Hmph, sometimes you seem so clueless. I really don't know why my father chose you. Get up now. From now on, obey my orders and cooperate with me as an undercover agent in Zhongzhou."

Qiao Zheng stood up and lowered his head: "This subordinate is really stupid. I don't know why the young master is an undercover agent in Zhongzhou, and what is his purpose. Please, young master..."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back. "Why did my father collect so much wealth? Can't you guess what Zhongzhou is? It's the border between Zhou Kingdom and Nanliang Kingdom. I want to investigate the people's livelihood and economy, the border defense arrangements, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

Qiao Zheng asked, "Could it be that the president is planning to launch an attack on the Zhou Kingdom in the future?"

Lu Xun Huan cursed, "You're such an idiot! I've been training soldiers here for nothing! Those soldiers will be mine from now on. I'll continue to work hard..."

He sat down and said, "I won't say any more. My identity is top secret. If I leak it, I'll be killed. So keep your mouth shut."

Qiao Zheng stood respectfully, not daring to breathe: "Yes."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and said, "Okay, that's all for today. Remember, cooperate with me in all my actions in Zhongzhou City and even in Zhou Kingdom."

After bringing Qingdai out of the mansion, Lu Xunhuan felt secretly amused.

He simply admired his own ability to deceive people, being able to fabricate a set of fictitious things on the spot and fool Qiao Zheng.

If we can deal with him, we will deal with the Zhongzhou branch of the Immortal Friends Association. From then on, the Zhongzhou Immortal Friends Association will obey him.

Feeling happy for a while, he thought of Shenlong Pavilion again.

What about the helmsman, does she believe in herself?

After thinking for a while, he said to Qingdai, "You go back to the courtyard. I should go help Feixianmen."
