Chapter 429: Impulsive Action
"Captain Lu, Fengyin County is your territory, and Qingyang County is under the jurisdiction of Fengyin County. I'm afraid you know everything about the slightest disturbance. I don't believe that our third place winner in this year's imperial examination has hooked up with the prime minister's daughter and sent a letter back from the capital!"
Yu Die sneered. She didn't want to let Lu Tu fool her. She sneered, "Why didn't County Magistrate Wei let you take this child as your apprentice? I don't believe you can't figure it out. I'm not afraid of you knowing, nor am I afraid of offending. I dare not recommend this child to the elders of the clan because I'm afraid of offending the prime minister. Captain Lu, you're not afraid of the prime minister, are you?"
afraid?
To say that I'm not afraid would be a lie.
Prime Minister.
That's the whole Da Xia, second only to the Prime Minister. Not to mention that he is just a small captain of the Demon Suppression Division. Even if he is their immediate superior, they cannot say that they dare not provoke the Prime Minister. At least they have to give the Prime Minister face.
"You are right..."
Lu Tu's face was solemn. He was about to admit that he was a little afraid of the Prime Minister. Before he could finish his words, Yu Die interrupted him with a sneer:
“Oh! Captain Lu, my dear Captain Lu, the Captain Lu who is the least afraid of the powerful in the entire Demon Suppression Division, you didn’t have this expression just now. Weren’t you mocking and ridiculing me just now? Why are you so scared when you come to the Prime Minister?”
At this point, Yu Die paused, looked at Lu Tu coldly, and said in a bad tone: "Don't you think I'm easy to bully?"
She could understand Lu Tu's sarcasm towards her. After all, she was a captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau and her background was not legitimate. Not to mention Lu Tu, anyone would have something against her.
But if she has a problem with someone just because she is easy to bully, and someone dares to make sarcastic remarks in front of her but not others, she will let the other person know.
she was.
Yu Die is not to be trifled with!
"Yu Baihu, why am I sneering and mocking you in front of you? Don't you know it in your heart?"
Lu Tu looked at Yu Die with disgust and said, "Even someone with your background knows to be afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so why can't I be afraid of it? And just because I am afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't mean that I dare not accept this child as my apprentice!"
"Really?"
Yu Die's eyes suddenly lit up, and she jokingly said, "Do you really have the guts to take this kid in as your apprentice?"
She was setting a trap for Lu Tu, but she was not planning to force Lu Tu to death. She was hoping that Lu Tu would provoke the Prime Minister's Mansion, and what would await Lu Tu would be a thundering blow from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy to mess with, but their Demon Suppression Division is no pushover either. They only obey the emperor's orders. So what if the prime minister is second only to the emperor?
He couldn't reach into the Demon Suppression Division. Lu Tu was just a mere thousand households. In the eyes of the Prime Minister's Office, he was just a cat or dog. But it was still very difficult for the Prime Minister's Office to deal with Lu Tu.
Not to mention expelling Lu Tu from the Demon Suppression Bureau, there was no way to influence his promotion and salary increase.
perhaps.
There will be impacts from other aspects, but the impact will not be too great, at least there will be no danger to life.
"nature……"
Lu Tu was about to respond, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Dongzhu next to him: "Master Lu, I'm sorry, our Ping An has already become your disciple!"
Before Lu Tu could speak, Dai Zhishang hurriedly said, "Sister Dongzhu, what are you doing? It would be a great thing for Ping An to be able to worship Lv Qianhu as his master!"
If there were no other people around, he really wanted to explain to Liu Dongzhu clearly what benefits Wang Ping'an would get from having Lu Tu as his teacher.
"You have a master?"
Lu Tu frowned slightly, but he did not feel relieved. After carefully examining Wang Ping'an's body, he was more and more determined to take Wang Ping'an as his apprentice. Even though he knew that Wang Ping'an's biological father was Wang Ruhai, the third place winner of this year's imperial examination, if he dared to take Wang Ping'an as his apprentice, he would offend Wang Ruhai and even the Prime Minister's Mansion. He said, "Madam Wang, I wonder who this child's master is?"
He was very curious about which cultivator, knowing Wang Ping'an's situation, would dare to accept this child as his disciple and not worry at all about offending the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He had the courage to take people as apprentices because of his family background. He had a natural aversion to those powerful families, even those from the Prime Minister's Mansion - he despised beasts like Wang Ruhai the most, who divorced his wife and even severed ties with his parents in order to get ahead.
Ever since Wang Ruhai divorced Liu Dongzhu, the news that Wang Ruhai's parents severed ties with Wang Ruhai spread to Fengyin County. Countless people in Fengyin County laughed at Wang Ruhai's parents for being stupid.
For the sake of a dispensable woman, he even gave up his own son, who was the top three scholar in this year's imperial examination and was favored by the prime minister's daughter and was expected to rise to a high position in the near future.
But he was different. He was very envious of Liu Dongzhu for having such a family.
Plus.
He is a captain of the Demon Suppression Division. The Demon Suppression Division belongs to an independent system. Except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one else is qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Demon Suppression Division. The Prime Minister's influence is great, but at most it will affect his promotion and salary increase. There is no way to drive him out of the Demon Suppression Division, let alone kill him.
and so.
He dared to accept this child as his disciple!
Liu Dongzhu replied: "Our Ping An has already worshipped Taoist Xuan Qing as his master!"
in fact.
She also wanted to tell Lu Tu that Ping An from her family had become Luo Quan's disciple, but Luo Quan was keeping it a secret and was unwilling to reveal it, so she didn't say much.
"Master Xuanqing?"
Lu Tu thought about it, but still couldn't figure out who this so-called Taoist Priest Xuanqing was.
Wei Yuan reminded him, "Captain Lu, the Taoist Priest Xuanqing this woman mentioned should be the Taoist Priest Xuanqing of our Qingyang County Xuanqing Temple. It is said that he was once a disciple of Ziyang Palace, but for some reason, he did not take the immortal exam, but instead came to our Qingyang County and built a Taoist temple!"
He firmly agreed with Wang Ruhai's decision to divorce his wife and would never call Liu Dongzhu "Mrs. Wang" under any circumstances.
"It turns out to be him!"
Lu Tu smiled and said, "Madam Wang, although I have not had much contact with this Taoist priest Xuanqing, I believe that my ability should be better than his. Why don't you agree that I can accept this child as my disciple?
Is it because of first come first served, or what? If it is first come first served, then in fact, in life, you can't just have one master. You have to have many masters to learn more skills! "
Before Liu Dongzhu could speak, Wei Yuan hurriedly said, "Captain Lu, you have to think carefully about this child. If you want to take in a disciple, I can find some talented students for you. I guarantee that they are no worse than this child and will definitely satisfy you!"
After all, there are many things that cannot be said in public.
Lu Tu ignored Wei Yuan and looked up at Liu Dongzhu, as if waiting for Liu Dongzhu's answer.
