Lu Jiu, with a head full of white hair, was adjusting his clothes in front of a bronze mirror.

He also received news from the Star Machine Pavilion. He had always wanted to have a deeper bond with the Star Machine Pavilion and had repeatedly invited them, but the response from them had always been lukewarm, which made him quite anxious.

There was a sudden turn of events today, and Xingji Pavilion wanted to set up the bidding location at Lu Mansion!

Isn't this announcing to the world that the Xingji Pavilion is in the same boat with him, the Director of the Commerce Department?

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu showed a smug smile on his face.

Look, no matter how hard the bone was, he still managed to chew it. The Xingji Pavilion is also sensible. Without the support of him, the director of the Commerce Department, how could they grow and develop?

Lu Jiu was very satisfied with every decision he made.

When the palace coup happened, he decisively stood on Wan Feiping's side and made the right bet.

After Wan Feiping ascended the throne, he was appointed Director of the Merchants Department. He was in high spirits and countless people came to him every day to make connections with him.

Now, the Xingji Pavilion will also be brought under his command and be at his disposal.

How unhappy!

But as a human being, it is impossible for everything to go as planned.

The first disappointment was that the Wei family and the Lu family almost became relatives, and his daughter almost married Wei Ji, but later the Wei family collapsed, and the marriage was also called off.

Now, the Wei family is in full swing, and the situation is very different.

He urged his wife every day to find a way to build a relationship with the Wei family. It would be great if she could let her daughter marry into the family.

But the lady was too shy to bring herself to do this, and he was also worried because he couldn't just go and talk to the emperor directly.

The second unfortunate thing was that he was over a hundred years old and no longer had any use for that thing. Even if he took Hehuan Powder, he couldn't stand up.

But after being stuffed with a few young girls, he immediately realized that he was not that useless. If he had to blame someone, he should blame his wife. She was old and ugly, and he had no feelings for her anymore.

His wife's family background was strong, so he couldn't take a concubine directly. Due to his status as an important official in the court, it was not easy for him to go out to visit brothels.

But there is always a way to play with women.

He opened a secret room behind the study and locked up more than a dozen young girls in it.

At this moment, hearing that good stuff had arrived again, his eyes lit up.

"How big is the cargo?"

The servant leaned close to his ear and said, "One is fourteen or fifteen, the other is four or five. The younger ones are both beautiful! Especially the older one, she is like a fairy, not inferior to our Dakun's most beautiful princess, Princess Wei Jin!"

"Oh? There is such a beauty among the people?" Lu Jiu swallowed happily, and the wrinkles on his old face like orange peel appeared deeper because of his smile.

He had met Princess Wei Jin before, and after just one meeting, he could never forget her.

If this little girl looks only 30% like Wei Jin, she can still be called a beauty.

Moreover, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he liked this kind of young girl.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiu, who is already a hundred years old, can still have such good fortune!

The one who is four or five years old is a little young, but he can be sent outside to be raised as a lean horse, and taught some music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. It will not be too late to appreciate him in detail when he grows up to his teens.

"Lock them up first. After the Xingji Pavilion bidding is over, then... hehe."

He licked his lips obscenely, wishing he could run over and make out with the beauty right now. He was completely different from the minister who appeared to be so gentle and refined in front of others.

"Yes," the servant replied respectfully, and then asked, "The leader of the Fox Mercenary Group wishes to see you..."

"Let him in quickly!"

Lu Jiu stroked his beard. He knew that the Fox Li Mercenary Group naturally wanted to cooperate with the Star Machine Pavilion.

They are so sincere this time, so why can't he, as the director of the Commerce Department, be flexible?

Qin Youyou and Xiao Feiyun were taken to the study by the servants of the Lu Mansion. The servants turned a mechanism on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf moved to the side, revealing a door.

She and Xiao Feiyun were pushed into the door just like that.

The door slammed shut.

In the dim secret room, only an oil lamp was lit.

In the corner of the secret room, a dozen girls in thin clothes were huddled together.

Qin Youyou widened her eyes and looked carefully, and found that these girls were only in their teens.

When they first stepped into the secret room, the girls seemed to be extremely frightened. They crowded to the side in terror, their bodies shaking constantly, not even daring to raise their heads.

Qin Youyou witnessed this scene and anger rose in her heart, and she clenched her fists tightly.

I cursed inwardly, this guy named Lu is so cruel and crazy, he is a beast!

These are all minors. If they were in modern times, they would have died a hundred times!

The girls raised their heads tremblingly, expecting to see that disgusting and ugly old face, but unexpectedly, what appeared before them were two girls.

Especially that delicate and pretty little girl, she is only four or five years old!

"Oh my god, it's so small..."

“It’s totally inhumane!”

"No, we must act now. It's fine if we ourselves suffer, but how can we let such a young child suffer such a cruel hand?"

A girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old walked quickly to Xiao Feiyun, pursed her lips, and hugged her in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, sister. Your sisters will definitely protect you well."

Little Feiyun blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Sisters, I'm not afraid. I'm only four years old and I don't even know how to write the word 'afraid'."

Seeing the girl's naiveté, the girls could not laugh at the joke and only felt more heartbroken.

I only regret that I am not a cultivator, and that I don’t have the support of a big family. I was tied up here, tortured, but I can’t do anything.

"Sister." Xiao Feiyun held the older girl's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. My sister will save everyone."

"Your sister?"

The girls looked up in surprise and looked at Qin Youyou who had been standing quietly beside them.

Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he looked even younger than them.

I couldn't help but laugh. Children always think that their sisters can do anything and can even hold up the whole sky.

The leading girl took Qin Youyou's hand and said seriously, "Sister, it doesn't matter whether we live or die, but we can't hurt such a young child."

"I've made up my mind. I can't just sit there and wait for death. That old dog Lu is a war master. We are just mortals and have no power to fight him. Next time, when he comes in, I will take the initiative to seduce him."

"He likes to do it on the soft couch in the study, but he's not very good at that. As long as I go out, I can make him drink the Hehuan Powder, and then wait for an opportunity to open the switch of this dark room, and my sisters will be able to escape!"

Immediately, some girls objected: “No, sister, if you do that, he’ll kill you afterwards!”

"It's worth it if I die to save everyone else's life!"

"No, we can't do this! Sister, you don't owe us anything. You don't have to sacrifice so much for us."

"You don't care, but what about this child? She's only four years old!"

For a moment, low whimpers and sobs were heard throughout the entire secret room.

Qin Youyou finally found an opportunity and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Just destroy this secret room and it will be over."

"Ah?" The girls said in unison, all suspecting they had heard wrongly.
