Become the boss from Zhu Xian

Chapter 139 Liu Lu's Good Wife

With everything properly arranged, Tian Xiuzhu, Lu Xueqi, Ling Dang and Mao Da officially started their trip to southern Xinjiang.

The first stop is to go to Heyang City for supplies.

At this time, Heyang City is a bustling and bustling scene, and construction projects are being carried out everywhere to expand and renovate the city.

The new city lord, Liu Lu, has been in office for more than half a year, and has already been affectionately called Liu Kaichai by the people of Heyang City.

At this time, Liu Lu was outside the city, supervising the construction of the new city wall. This was something Tian Xiuzhu specially explained. The new city wall had to be built strong enough, and it was even required to be able to withstand the magic attack of the object-repelling realm practitioners.

In order to complete this arduous task and prevent the workers from cutting corners, Liu Lu, even as the city lord, had to visit the site to supervise.

Three streamers of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and Liu Lu could tell at a glance that there were cultivators flying in the sky, so she couldn't help but become vigilant.

The streamer flew straight down, and when they were a hundred meters away, Liu Lu finally figured out who it was. Her nerves tensed up instantly, and she secretly guessed his purpose for coming here.

As soon as Tian Xiuzhu and the others landed, Liu Lu trotted up to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted, "Meet the master!"

"Why are you here?" Tian Xiuzhu asked curiously.

"Heyang New City is closely related to the future development of my Qingyun Sect. As a member of Qingyun Sect, I am now the Lord of Heyang City. I will take the lead and lead everyone to build a brand new Heyang City."

I saw that Liu Lu was good at words, and her words were impeccable, but Tian Xiuzhu couldn't find any faults.

"Senior Brother Liu really worked hard!" Tian Xiuzhu praised perfunctorily.

Liu Lu immediately showed a look of sincerity and flattery, and humbly replied: "For the sake of Qingyunmen and the people of Heyang City, this is what I should do."

"I'm hungry, let's hurry up and eat something!" From Ling Dang's point of view, what Liu Lu said was useless nonsense, so she couldn't help complaining.

Liu Lu glanced at the bell indifferently, then stepped aside respectfully, made a gesture of invitation and said, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb the head of the business."

Just as Tian Xiuzhu and the others were about to leave, an old lady suddenly walked up to her. She leaned on a cane in one hand and moved tremblingly to this side. Her silver hair swayed left and right in the wind. He looked straight at Liu Lu, but turned a blind eye to the others.

Tian Xiuzhu was keenly aware of the old lady's complex emotions of anger and despair, so he stopped, ready to watch the excitement first.

Liu Lu obviously noticed her too, and a look of impatience suddenly appeared on her face, but because Tian Xiuzhu was here, in order to avoid causing bad influence, she resisted not to have an attack.

"I... I want... to kill you... you heartbreaker!"

The old lady raised her crutches and rushed towards Liu Lu staggeringly. Suddenly, she slipped and stepped on a small stone, and she was about to fall to the ground.

At her current age, if she fell down, she might die.

Lu Xueqi was ready to help, but was stopped by Tian Xiuzhu.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xueqi asked angrily.

Tian Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "You don't need to meddle in your own business!"

Sure enough, Liu Lu had immediately supported the old lady's frail body.

"Let the head laugh!" Liu Lu said to Tian Xiuzhu in embarrassment.

"Master?" The old lady trembled excitedly when she heard these two words, she pushed Liu Lu away, turned around and knelt down towards Tian Xiuzhu, "Please also ask the master to be the old woman's master."

"What do you want? But it's okay to say." Tian Xiuzhu waved his hand generously, and then smiled meaningfully at Liu Lu.

Liu Lu only felt her scalp tingling for a while, and she shouted in her heart that something was wrong. Finally, she just gave up her heart, plopped down on her knees, and explained in front of the old lady: "I want to report to the head, this woman is my wife. The wife in front of Qing Yunmen is also the biological mother of my prodigal son."

"So it's my sister-in-law, get up quickly, don't be exhausted at such an advanced age." Tian Xiuzhu immediately stepped forward and helped the old lady up.

The old lady suddenly burst into tears, and said through gritted teeth: "Please also ask the master to be the master for me. Liu Lu not only abandoned his wife and son, but also took away all the money and food in the family in order to seek immortality. To starve to death, such a conscienceless, ruthless and ruthless person should really go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn."

"No, why did I hear that Senior Brother Liu has been trying his best to earn money all these years in order to pay off his son's gambling debts!" ​​Tian Xiuzhu looked puzzled.

"This is what he should do, and he owes us mother and son." The old lady blurted out without hesitation.

Finally, Liu Lu couldn't take it anymore, and shouted angrily: "How much money do you want this time, just say it, the neighbor is spreading rumors and causing trouble here! If the head really punishes me, then you don't want to do it again in the future." Get a penny."

When the old lady heard this, a look of panic appeared on her ravine-covered face, her skinny hands tightly grasped Tian Xiuzhu's arm and refused to let go, and she kept repeating in her mouth: "I want money, the head, you must not punish him!"

"What you said is wrong. If I don't punish such a heartless and ruthless person who abandons his wife and children, I will be ashamed of the ancestors of the Qingyun sect!" Tian Xiuzhu said naturally.

The old lady burst into tears, she stood there helpless, her lips were murmured, but she couldn't say a word.

"Senior brother Liu, tell me what's going on!" Tian Xiuzhu asked lightly.

Liu Lu sighed a long time and said, "It was I who harmed their mother and son. I shouldn't have left them so much money at one time, so that they would be tainted with sweetness."

"Sweet smell?" Tian Xiuzhu called out in surprise.

"It's actually an addictive gas." Liu Lu explained, "I always thought that my son owed so much money because of his gambling addiction, until I came to Heyang City to become the city lord. After investigation, I found out that it was because of inhaling sweet smell.”

"And the money is not owed by my son alone, but by both mother and son together."

Tian Xiuzhu was no longer interested in their family affairs at this time, he just wanted to know more about Sweetness.

"The sale of the sweet smell is very hidden. I conducted an investigation when I first took office, but after many investigations, there was no result, as if the sweet smell appeared out of thin air." Liu Lu shook her head helplessly and said: "So to this day, we still don't know where the sweet smell came from, and who is selling it."

"I haven't been able to find out for half a year. It seems that senior brother Liu is not very competent as the city lord!" Tian Xiuzhu's tone became a little unkind, and he turned to the old lady and asked, "Do you know this sweet smell? Where did it come from?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything." The old lady waved her hands repeatedly.

"It's useless to ask. People who have smoked sweet smell are very tight-lipped! Whether it's threats or temptations, they all bite to death and say they don't know. Even if they are in a hurry, they would rather commit suicide than let go." Liu Lu explained.

Lu Xueqi suddenly asked, "Didn't you guys try to follow?"

"Of course I tracked him down, but still found nothing. There was a person who never left the house for a month, but he still had a way to get the sweet smell, and even the money disappeared in a strange way." Speaking of this, Liu Lu's face There was a bit of panic on the face, "If I guess correctly, there must be a cultivator behind this."

"Why didn't you report such an important matter to the sect!" Tian Xiuzhu asked angrily.

This sweet smell is clearly a drug. As a soul from a flower grower, I absolutely hate this thing, and I will try my best to eliminate it.

But Liu Lu said indifferently: "There are tens of thousands of people in Heyang City, and the number of people who found out that they smoked the sweet smell is only a mere hundred, so I don't think it's worth bothering the sect."

"But you should understand, once this so-called sweetener spreads, what a huge impact it will have." Tian Xiuzhu said through gritted teeth, "At that time, the entire Heyang people will become addicts, I see you How can you be the city lord!"

"Hurry up and take care of your wife, and then go to the Hongxing Chamber of Commerce for a meeting!" Tian Xiuzhu left a sentence, and led Lu Xueqi and the others directly into the city.

Liu Lu looked at the old woman next to her wanting to cry without tears, but saw her stealthily took out a palm-sized small skin bag from her bosom and handed it over, and said cheerfully, "Suck the air out of it!" , and you will be happy."

Liu Lu broke out in cold sweat instantly, and looked at her pair of dark eyes, faintly seeming to have the illusion of staring into the abyss.
