Lu Jing didn't know why the smooth post-war settlement session suddenly changed and turned into a blind date meeting at Park Corner, and the most important thing was that he found that he was actually a little tempted.
It wasn't because he was covetous of Princess Fu'an's beauty, but the crooked idea Zhu Jie gave him did sound quite tempting.
The Chen Dynasty has always pursued the policy of governing the country by hiding wealth from the people, so even though the court was so poor that it was almost impossible to uncover the blame, there were still many people living a peaceful life, especially those nobles and nobles.
The most indispensable thing in the capital is all kinds of big dogs. In the name of marrying the princess, they plundered this group of people. Not to mention one hundred thousand taels of silver, even twenty or three hundred thousand taels of silver was not impossible. Get it.
With this money, he can make up for the huge sum of money he spent on buying flying swords from Chi.
However, this thought just circulated in Lu Jing's mind, and he soon realized that it was wrong. He was asking Zhu Jie for money, not Zhu Jie's advice to help him get money.
Besides, no one would use his daughter as a money-making tool. Zhu Jie could not be the father, but Lu Jing had to be a human being.
He had a good impression of Princess Fu'an, and the latter had helped Gu Caiwei. Because of this relationship, Lu Jing didn't want to involve her.
So after that, he said to Zhu Jie who was looking forward to it, "Don't mention this matter again. The officials should raise some money for me from other places. If you don't have 150,000, just 100,000. In two months, this is what I will do." The bottom line."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he ignored Zhu Jie's reaction. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Although Zhu Jie said it was pitiful before, Lu Jing didn't believe that this guy really couldn't even afford one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If nothing else, if he marries fewer wives, summons his large family, and eats less meat, the expenses in the harem can be reduced a lot.
Then Lu Jing walked to the place where the calligraphy and painting fell, bent down to pick up his flying sword, wiped it and put it back into his sleeve.
Cheng Guan originally wanted to have a few more words with Lu Jing in private and ask him what happened after he was sucked into the scroll, but he didn't expect that after Lu Jing hurriedly greeted him, he walked out of the hall.
It was like rushing home to collect clothes on a rainy day.
Lu Jing even used Qinggong directly, and after a few rising and falling figures, he disappeared into the night.
Zhu Jie and Cheng Guan were left with stunned expressions, but Xia Huai's mood improved again. Especially when she heard Lu Jing flatly rejected Zhu Jie, the girl's eyes turned into a pair of small crescents.
Cheng Guan was anxious to return to Si Tianjian to resume his life. Seeing that Lu Jing could no longer ask questions, he also said goodbye to Zhu Jie. Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by the sleeve by the latter.
Then I heard Zhu Jie say anxiously, "Governor Cheng, you can't just leave like this!"
Cheng Guan frowned, then seemed to think of something, and comforted him, "No need to worry, officials. The so-called resentful baby was originally meant to scare you by the calligrapher and painter Du Zuan. Now that the calligrapher and painter have been killed, Ning Jieyu's illness should be nothing." It's serious, officials, why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look first, and then if you have any problems, come to our Si Tianjian."
"It's not about Ning Jieyu," Zhu Jie shook his head repeatedly, "No, of course Ning Jieyu and the child in her belly are also important, but there is another more important matter. Could it be that Governor Cheng has forgotten it?"
"What else is going on?" Cheng Guan was confused.
"Master Dongxuan just escaped, and the demon named Huoxingsun ran away earlier when he saw that the situation was bad!" Zhu Jie said worriedly, "You guys leave like this, what if they come back again, and according to the According to Dongxuan's demonic saying, he has two disciples who are more powerful than the calligraphy and painting. If he calls out those two disciples when he comes back, I... what should I do?"
Zhu Jie was really scared tonight after seeing all the miraculous magical powers of Master Dongxuan and his disciples. Even though there were many guards in his palace, as well as Jingzi guards, these people could still defend themselves against ordinary people and even martial arts masters.
But it doesn't seem that reliable when it comes to cultivators. Not to mention others, just a fire grandson is enough to give people a headache.
This is also the reason why Zhu Jie wants to marry Princess Fu'an to Lu Jing no matter what. It is best for Lu Jing to live in Jing Palace from now on to protect the safety of his father-in-law at all times, although whether it is the Chen Dynasty or the previous several In the dynasty, there seemed to be no rules for the prince-in-law to move into the palace.
But his life was at stake, and Zhu Jie couldn't care so much now. However, what he didn't expect was that even if Lu Jing was given away a princess for free, the most beautiful and intelligent princess in the Chen Dynasty, Lu Jing would not be moved.
Not only did he reject him verbally, but he also left as fast as he was avoiding the plague. Seeing that the others were about to leave, Zhu Jie became anxious and stopped Cheng Guan in a hurry.
Cheng Guan thought about it and had to admit that Zhu Jie's worries were justified.
Si Tianjian still abided by the rules of more than a thousand years, tried to keep a distance from the royal family, and ignored what the emperor did, but he did not expect that this would give other practitioners an opportunity.
Master Dongxuan has been close to Zhu Jie for some time, and has even asked Zhu Jie to obey him. However, Si Tianjian has never received any news, which is definitely not appropriate.
Therefore, it is expected that Si Tianjian will also strengthen surveillance of the palace after this incident. Although Zhu Jie's life and death has nothing to do with them, if Zhu Jie dies in the hands of monsters or practitioners, it will be Si Tianjian's responsibility.
Of course, Cheng Guan was only responsible for Si Tianjian's external contacts, and the final decision was not made by him, so he just told Zhu Jieyang.
"Don't panic, officials. Since Master Dongxuan and Huo Xingsun escaped, they probably won't come back in a short time. The officials can first dispatch the master guards to guard them closely, and Si Tianjian will definitely be here soon. Arrangements will be made.”
Zhu Jie was obviously not very satisfied with this ambiguous answer, but he also knew that he did not have much room for bargaining. In the final analysis, it was because there was no one of his in Sitian Prison, so in the end he could only sigh and agree.
But he did not give up the idea of marrying his daughter, especially because he felt that the reason why Lu Jing refused was because he had never met Princess Fu'an. Otherwise, with Princess Fu'an's beauty and status as a princess, there would be few men in the world who could. Refuse, let alone leave in a hurry.
But this time Zhu Jie thought wrong. In fact, even if Princess Fu'an was ten times more beautiful, Lu Jing would still leave because he had more important things to do at the moment.
Ever since he knew that Hanshanke was involved in tonight's incident, Lu Jing had only one thought left in his mind - to go back to the academy as soon as possible!
Even when he was halfway there, Lu Jing summoned Gu Jing and asked him to bring a letter to Huang Supervisor first, asking Huang Supervisor to help him keep an eye on Hanshanke.
