But this is the deterrent power of the Grand Master.
No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to hold it in and endure it.
Then Zhan Doudou immediately raised his head and said to the court officials.
"That's all for today. Please leave first. I want to chat with Master Lu."
The officials were under great pressure at the moment, so they were naturally overjoyed when they heard this.
They don't have to deal with the Grandmaster, and they don't have to worry about the Grandmaster getting angry all the time. This is what they want.
All the officials immediately said, "We will take our leave!"
After finishing speaking, all the officials quickly left the Golden Palace.
Shen Zhong also bowed to Lu Xiao and said, "Master Lu, I will leave as well. I will stay in Shangjing City for the time being. If you need anything, please send someone to pass on the message at any time. I will do my best to help you."
He had already decided in his heart that no matter what excessive requests Lu Xiao made during his stay in Shangjing City, he would help him fulfill them.
This master is different from other great masters.
You have to wait on it.
What national system, what face.
In the face of absolute strength, everything is nothing but clouds.
Lu Xiao responded, "Yes, I'll remember that. There's nothing else to worry about. Just remember to send Yan Bingyun to the translation office."
Shen Zhong nodded immediately: "Yes, I understand."
Chapter 376 Picnic
The back garden of the Northern Qi imperial palace.
"What would you like to discuss, Your Highness?"
Lu Xiao sat calmly and asked casually.
There are only him and Zhan Doudou here.
She dismissed all the palace ladies.
As for Si Lili, she was taken by Haitang Duoduo to meet her brother.
After hearing this, Zhan Doudou immediately folded his arms and bowed deeply to him.
"I want to apologize to you, Master Lu, on behalf of my great master."
According to seniority, Ku He is actually Uncle Zhan Doudou.
However, Zhan Doudou had been a disciple of Ku He's disciple Lang Tao since she was young, so it was not a problem for her to call Ku He her Grandmaster.
This is also the reason why she usually calls Haitang Duoduo "Little Sister".
After hearing this, Lu Xiao picked up the tea on the table and took a sip before smiling.
"So, you don't know that Ku He and Ye Liuyun teamed up to assassinate me?"
Zhan Doudou immediately said, "I truly didn't know about this. The Emperor of Nanqing wrote directly to Master, without it going through me. But honestly, even if I knew about this beforehand, I most likely wouldn't object."
Lu Xiao said, "You're being honest. Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry after hearing this?"
Zhan Doudou said, "My master said that your strength is beyond human reach. Even if the four great masters of the world joined forces, they wouldn't survive a single blow from you. So, I dare not lie to you. If you're angry, I'm willing to pay any price."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Any price? Do you think you have any bargaining chips that are worth me considering?"
Zhan Doudou said, "I'm not sure either. I imagine fame, wealth, and status are readily available to you, sir. Furthermore, after this incident, the conflict between you and the Southern Qing royal family will undoubtedly become unmanageable. If you're willing to remain in Northern Qi, I can rule the world with you. What do you think?"
This was the first time Zhan Doudou addressed himself as "Zhuang" to Lu Xiao.
She was indeed willing to put down her chips.
This is almost the most valuable bargaining chip an emperor could offer.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "You're quite bold. Even at this time, you still don't forget to win me over."
Zhan Doudou said, "Sir, your strength is unrivaled. My master said that if you are willing to help Northern Qi, we will surely be able to unify the world easily."
Lu Xiao said, "Since you already know I could easily unify the world, then let me ask you, why would I choose Northern Qi? I could just go back to Southern Qing and kill the Qing Emperor, then take the throne myself. Why go through so much trouble?"
When Lu Xiao said the words "kill Emperor Qing", his tone was very calm.
It seemed that doing such a thing was no different from crushing an ant to him.
Zhan Doudou said, "Because I know that you, sir, are not interested in this. If you wanted to become emperor, you wouldn't have released Master and Ye Liuyun. Imperial power is paramount to others, but it's certainly nothing in your eyes. It's too narrow to encompass you. In my opinion, sir, you should focus solely on your own martial arts, right?"
Zhan Doudou has been taught by Ku He since he was young.
I have some understanding of the Grand Master's thoughts.
People who have reached that level of cultivation will only focus on their own martial arts.
Because their strength can easily bring them anything they want.
After all, there are only a small number of Grandmasters in this world who are as obsessed with imperial power as Emperor Qing.
Lu Xiao smiled and nodded. "You're much smarter than that idiot Emperor Qing. I really don't want to be emperor. It's too troublesome. But there are countless countries in the world. Why should I choose you?"
There are so many countries in the world, and Northern Qi and Southern Qing are just the two strongest among them.
With Lu Xiao's current strength, he could easily unify the world by supporting any country he wanted. The only difference was the length of time it would take.
At this time, Zhan Doudou slowly straightened up and said slowly.
"Although there are many kingdoms under heaven, imperial power is alluring. Once in this position, even the best people will inevitably harbor ambitions. Sir, you are someone who dreads trouble, but I have an advantage over other emperors. This is because, except for me, all other emperors are men."
After saying this, Zhan Doudou took off her hair crown.
The next moment, three thousand strands of black hair flowed down her shoulders, and Zhan Doudou revealed her biggest secret directly to Lu Xiao.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao's eyes showed no surprise, but he stared at Zhan Doudou with considerable interest.
Zhan Doudou is not bad in appearance, with delicate features and tall figure. After showing her lineup, her eyebrows reveal a pure and cool taste.
More importantly, her status as an emperor will bring her a special bonus.
This kind of bonus is indeed not something that other women can give.
Two months ago, after Ku He returned to Northern Qi, he had a long conversation with Zhan Doudou.
The topic all revolved around Lu Xiao.
The strength Lu Xiao displayed in front of Ku He was too terrifying.
It really scared him.
Judging from what Lu Xiao had done in Nanqing before.
Ku He and Zhan Doudou could easily conclude that Lu Xiao was a man with great ambitions.
He also has the ability to realize any ambition.
Faced with such an existence, even the biggest chips will be greatly discounted.
It's like you're facing a bandit and telling him you'll give him all your money as long as he doesn't kill you.
But the problem is, all your money is behind you.
Kill you, you're still a bandit.
Then may I ask why the bandits let you go?
In order to deal with this deadlock, Zhan Doudou has thought a lot in the past two months.
It wasn't until she met Lu Xiao in person today that she made this decision.
It seems that only this decision can completely get rid of this crisis.
And if Lu Xiao accepted it, Northern Qi might even turn a disaster into a blessing.
Lu Xiao could naturally guess what Zhan Doudou was thinking.
But he didn't mind the other party's little thoughts.
He had said it from the very beginning that he would definitely not become emperor.
"He rises earlier than the rooster and sleeps later than the dog" is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe the emperor.
Unless you are a tyrant.
Lu Xiao didn't want to tire himself out, nor did he want to be a tyrant.
Therefore, no matter what the future holds for the country, he will definitely find a proxy to become emperor.
And he also hoped that the person he found was not a waste.
At first, he even thought about letting Emperor Qing be the agent (Zhao).
Unfortunately, Emperor Qing places too much emphasis on power.
Hence the wrong choice was made.
On the other hand, the young emperor of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, was quite sensible and understanding.
Lu Xiao likes people who are sensible and understanding.
Especially a woman like this.
So he spoke to Zhan Doudou.
"come over."
Although Zhan Doudou had been prepared, he was still stunned when he heard this.
But then she gritted her teeth and walked up to Lu Xiao.
"Kneel down."
Lu Xiao said again.
Zhan Doudou's body stiffened involuntarily.
Lu Xiao was not in a hurry, as some things require a period of adaptation after all.
Fortunately, Zhan Doudou is a decisive person.
Now that she has made the decision, she can risk everything.
After a short while, she slowly knelt down.
To be honest, this was Lu Xiao's first experience of having a picnic in the palace garden in broad daylight.
It's somewhat novel..
Chapter 377: Quick Decision
Two hours later, it was still the back garden of the Northern Qi Imperial Palace.
It was still Lu Xiao and Zhan Doudou.
But now, having just had a picnic together, the two of them behaved much more intimately than at the beginning.
After all, after these two hours of in-depth communication.
The two of them knew each other well.
"I agree to your terms. You can continue to serve as the emperor. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always ask me for help."
Lu Xiao never treated his own people unfairly.
He wasn't afraid that Zhan Doudou would have other thoughts in the future.
What else can she think about in the future?
Lu Xiao is very confident in his own abilities.
"Can I bring anything?" Zhan Doudou asked.
Lu Xiao nodded: "Anything is fine."
"Then can you help me get rid of Shen Zhong?" Zhan Doudou asked.
Shen Zhong now holds absolute power in the Northern Qi court, possessing immense influence.
It was precisely because of his threats that Zhan Doudou and her mother had to perform the "mother-son discord" drama in front of the ministers every day.
Yes, it's a performance.
