The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Is one million taels of silver a lot?

For Lu Yao, one million taels of silver was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

But for Murong Fu, that was an immense fortune. He could use that million taels of silver to forge thousands of fully armed suits of armor or to purchase countless grains for his uprising.

Murong Fu once schemed and plotted to seize the official ship transporting the silver for 400,000 taels of silver, but still failed, which shows his need for gold and silver.

"Young Master Lu is joking. Yu Yan is just my cousin. How could I possibly agree to give her to you?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Murong Fu's mind, including the idea of ​​capturing Lu Yao and forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the gold and silver, but he was deterred by Lu Yao's strength.

"Hehe, I misjudged your desire to restore your kingdom. It seems that the Great Yan is not that important to you."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and said calmly.

"My ambition is to restore the Great Yan! The sun and moon bear witness!"

Murong Fu's expression changed, and he said through gritted teeth.

"I agreed."

Murong Fu's expression gradually calmed down, and he said calmly.

Azhu and Abi were both maids of the Murong family, so giving them to Lu Yao was not a big deal; Murong Fu even thought it was a good deal.

However, his cousin Wang Yuyan made Murong Fu hesitate.

He understood Lu Yao's meaning perfectly. If he agreed, he would probably have to sever all ties with Wang Yuyan, and might even have to help Lu Yao win Wang Yuyan's heart.

Murong Fu knew that Wang Yuyan loved him, but he had already made a vow that he would never marry until he restored the Yan Kingdom.

Even his later marriage to the Western Xia emperor was a sacrifice made to restore the Great Yan dynasty.

"Hahaha, I wasn't wrong about you. I'll send you a million taels of silver in a few days."

Lu Yao smiled, quite satisfied with Murong Fu's choice.

However, Lu Yao didn't have high hopes for Murong Fu's abilities; he felt that Murong Fu was not a qualified leader.

Therefore, Lu Yao had to find another way to restore Murong Fu's Great Yan.

"In a few days, I will send you some talents who are skilled in strategy and warfare to lend you a helping hand."

After thinking it over, Lu Yao decided that he needed to go back to the mythological world and the Condor Heroes world to bring some people over.

"Does Young Master Lu look down on the people around me?"

Murong Fu's face darkened, and he was slightly displeased.

"That's not it. It's just that establishing a nation and building a career is not something that can be accomplished simply by being highly skilled in martial arts. I'm sure you understand that."

Lu Yao was speechless. As for your four retainers, their martial arts skills were alright, but their other abilities were truly indescribable.

"Then thank you, Young Master Lu."

Murong Fu knew in his heart that he did not have any capable strategists or military commanders under his command, so he agreed.

......

Meanwhile, in another pavilion at Mantuo Manor, Wang Yuyan, Azhu, and Abi were chatting and laughing softly, recounting recent amusing events.

“Young Master Lu’s martial arts skills are truly impressive; he stunned Miss Wang’s mother in an instant.”

Abi recounted the events that had just occurred with great enthusiasm, clearly very happy.

"Oh? Even better than my cousin?"

Wang Yuyan blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously.

"I'm not sure about that. I suppose the young master is more capable."

After thinking about it, Abi still believed that her young master was more capable.

"From what your mother said, Miss Wang, it seems she knows Young Master Lu's background. He must be quite extraordinary."

A'Zhu, with her keen intuition, recalled what Li Qingluo had said and offered her guess.

"Ladies, your young master wants you to come over."

A maid from Mantuo Manor entered the pavilion and spoke softly to the three women.

"Since the young master has summoned us, we will go."

A'Zhu bowed slightly and whispered goodbye to Wang Yuyan.

"I'll go with you. I also want to see my cousin."

Wang Yuyan smiled slightly, her beautiful face beaming, and gently took Azhu and Abi's hands.

......

Lu Yao and Murong Fu had a very smooth conversation, both of them smiling and in a very good mood.

For Lu Yao, helping Murong Fu was nothing more than replenishing the world's origin, and all these investments were worthwhile.

For Murong Fu, having secured the support of the Xiaoyao Sect truly meant there was hope for restoring his kingdom.

Based on the impression Lu Yao gave Murong Fu, he was rich, influential, and had a mysterious and powerful background, making him a formidable ally.

"cousin!"

Wang Yuyan arrived at the pavilion where Murong Fu and Lu Yao were, and called out softly to Murong Fu.

Lu Yao looked at Wang Yuyan and saw that she was indeed a stunning beauty. Her refined and elegant demeanor made her appear very gentle and charming.

Looking at Wang Yuyan's stunning beauty and figure, Lu Yao then looked at Murong Fu.

Good heavens, to remain so composed even with a woman in his arms, Lu Yao had to admire Murong Fu's willpower.

Looking at Wang Yuyan, Murong Fu's eyes darted away, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, after all, he had just traded Wang Yuyan to Lu Yao like a commodity.

"My cousin's here! Please have a seat."

Murong Fu glanced at Lu Yao out of the corner of his eye, then laughed heartily.

"This is Lu Yao, the son of my father's good friend."

Murong Fu introduced Lu Yao's identity to the three women.

This identity is merely an excuse for Lu Yao to help Murong Fu restore his kingdom in the future.

"Greetings, Young Master Lu."

Wang Yuyan smiled serenely at Lu Yao and greeted him.

Lu Yao smiled and nodded.

"Azhu and Abi, from now on you two sisters will follow Young Master Lu and take care of his daily life."

Murong Fu's feelings for A'Zhu and A'Bi remained at the level of a master-servant relationship, and he did not feel much reluctance to part with them.

"Huh? Does the young master not want us anymore?"

Abi was taken aback, then her expression changed, and she became very anxious.

A'Zhu was also taken aback, glancing at Murong Fu and Lu Yao.

"Nonsense! Young Master Lu is an honored guest of the Murong family, so naturally we cannot neglect him. As long as you take good care of Young Master Lu, that will be the best way to repay the Murong family."

Murong Fu, with a stern expression, reprimanded Azhu and Abi.

“Young master, please calm down. Azhu and Abi will obey your command.”

When Azhu and Abi saw that Murong Fu was angry, they quickly knelt on the ground and whispered.

"Brother Murong, why get angry? It's only natural for A'Zhu and A'Bi to miss their old love."

Lu Yao approached Azhu and Abi and gently shook his head.

"Get up quickly, you will all follow me from now on."

Lu Yao smiled and took the two women, A Zhu and A Bi, by their fair and flawless hands, and said softly.

"Thank you, Young Master Lu."

Azhu glanced down at Murong Fu, and seeing that he was expressionless, she pulled Abi to stand up with her.

Azhu was quick-witted and naturally knew that she and Abi would soon be changing masters.

Seeing that the two women had stood up, Lu Yao let go of their hands.

"Let's go see Madam Wang."

Lu Yao greeted Azhu and Abi, then stepped away from the pavilion.

Seeing this, Azhu quickly pulled up Abi, who was still in a daze, and followed behind Lu Yao.
