Xu Fengnian and Xu Zhihu's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Liyang's attitude towards Cao Changqing has always been to kill him quickly and then kill him quickly.

As the most active remnant of Xi Chu in the world today, no one wants to have anything to do with him.

No one wants to be resented by the Liyang royal family.

Even a powerful vassal king like Xu Xiao didn't want to have a grudge with Li Yang because of this kind of thing.

In the final analysis, as long as he does not want to support his troops and establish himself as a king, he must abide by his duty as a minister.

Even if it's just superficial.

Of course Xu Fengnian, who is among the golden and jade people, knows this kind of thing well.

In Cao Changqing's cold eyes, his hand holding the knife tightened and loosened, but he still did not pull out the knife after all.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of Xu Fengnian's original experience.

The burden was too heavy and there were too many worries. Although he was extremely cruel to himself, he never slacked off during his martial arts training. In addition to the planning of Yu Ze and his teacher in his previous life, he finally became the best in the world in the shortest time, but he also became the best in the world in an even shorter time. Almost everything was lost.

It seems that he has retired to the world satisfactorily, but in fact?

It's all a pity.

It is a miracle that Xu Fengnian can become the best in the world, but it is more like fate that he loses everything.

Deep love will not last long, and wisdom will inevitably be damaged. Xu Fengnian had both. It did not come true in terms of life span, but it came true in his martial arts.

Lu Yuan shook his head with some sigh, but did not interfere with Xu Fengnian's decision.

He can be free and easy and happy with his grudges, but Xu Fengnian cannot.

Even if he intervenes forcefully, Xu Fengnian will eventually let Cao Changqing take Jiang Ni away.

After all, he is the hereditary prince of Northern Liang!

As Lu Yuan expected, Xu Fengnian agreed to Cao Changqing after thinking for a long time, but he only had to have a bite of rice before leaving, as a farewell to Jiang Ni.

Cao Changqing did not refuse this simple request.

On the way back to Lu's house, the atmosphere was particularly dull. Xu Fengnian rode at the front without saying a word.

Even when Jiang Ni peeked her head out of the carriage to see him, he pretended not to know and just kept his head buried and moved forward.

The arrival of Cao Changqing did not alarm everyone in the Lu family. Except for Lu Baijie who came to accompany him, no one knew that the most wanted criminal in Liyang was sitting in the main hall of the Lu family to accept a banquet.

As one of the four major families in Yangzhou, the Lu family finally showed some depth and grace at this moment.

Even though Lu Yuan, their life-and-death enemy, sat at the table, the Lu family did not compromise on the dishes. They fully followed the attitude of entertaining distinguished guests and set out a table full of delicacies from all over the world.

As for whether Lu Baijie said something in it, Lu Yuan didn't know.

In the freehand garden, Li Chungang didn't care about his eating appearance as usual. He kept stuffing things into his mouth and motioned to the maid next to him to pour wine.

Lu Yuan also rarely enjoyed a wealthy life. He was able to eat with chopsticks like flying. He was no slower than Li Chungang, but his eating style was much more elegant.

The only troublesome thing was that the maid beside him couldn't help but put food on his plate, and even wanted to feed him. After being persuaded by him several times, he put down his chopsticks with regret on his face.

Cao Changqing's expression remained as usual, and Lu Baijie sat beside him, respectfully asking for advice on the swordsmanship questions in his mind.

Cao Changqing had no secrets and always answered all questions. Whenever he mentioned something subtle, Lu Baijie's eyes would light up and his face would turn pale with wine.

Xu Zhihu didn't even move his chopsticks when facing the table full of delicacies. He looked at Xu Fengnian from time to time, his eyes full of worry.

She knew very well Xu Fengnian's feelings for Jiang Ni, but when things got to this point, there was no room for maneuver.

Xu Zhihu could only pray secretly in his heart that Xu Fengnian would not suddenly draw a sword against Cao Changqing.

Xu Fengnian had no expression on her face, didn't eat the food, and drank one glass after another of wine down her throat.

What the Lu family sent was the finest Bamboo Leaf Green. This wine is the softest and most refreshing, not overpowering easily.

But Xu Fengnian's face turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his eyes became a little hazy, not at all like a warrior who should have the ability to drink.

Jiang Ni looked at the table full of delicacies and kept swallowing her saliva, but every time she picked up a chopstick, she would secretly glance at Xu Fengnian's face. After confirming that Xu Fengnian had no reaction, she would serve the dishes at lightning speed. In the mouth, he puffed out his cheeks and chewed carefully, like a squirrel storing food in winter.

As for Yu Youwei and Pei Nanwei, they were huddled in the corner like transparent people, without any sense of existence.

The atmosphere at the table was a bit strange, as if a group of unrelated people were forcibly placed at the same table.

It looks eager, but in fact it is very clear.

Just as the dinner was coming to an end, a servant suddenly walked in and said respectfully to Lu Baijie: "Master, Xu Huipu of the Xu family is here to visit."

Lu Baijie's smile froze, the hand holding the wine glass trembled, and the wine spilled all over him without even realizing it.

He was silent for a moment and then asked softly: "What is she doing here?"

"Xu Nuguan said she came to visit... Mr. Lu." This servant was an old man from the Lu family. He was very aware of the grudges between Lu Baijie and Xu Huipu. After saying this, he quickly lowered his head. , I didn’t dare to look at Lu Baijie’s livid face.

"Me?" Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and asked doubtfully, "I don't know her?"

The servant did not continue, but waited for Lu Baijie to speak.

"Please...invite her in."

It was just six words, but it was extremely difficult for Lu Baijie to say it, and he seemed to have aged several years.

The servant followed the order and left. After a while, Xu Huipu walked in.

Without looking at Lu Baijie, who had complicated eyes, she gave Lu Yuan a blessing and said softly: "My family, Xu Huipu, has long admired Mr. Lu's name.

The slave family has been longing for the young master for a long time, but they have no chance to meet him. Today they come to visit rashly. Please don't be surprised, Mr. Lu. "

Bang!

The wine glass in Lu Baijie's hand had been crushed.

If Cao Changqing hadn't quickly caught him with his quick eyes and hands, the sword energy on his body would have smashed the table of food into pieces.

"Do we know each other?" Lu Yuan ignored Lu Baijie's red eyes and said calmly: "You and I are strangers, so it's inappropriate to get close to each other like this."

Xu Hui, who was strictly ordered to come by Yu Jiankang and Xu Xin, lowered her head, her eyes were numb, but her voice became softer and gentler, "Does Mr. Lu dislike the Nu family for being a broken branch?

The slave family... The slave family just wants a chance to get acquainted with Mr. Lu, and hopes that Mr. Lu will show his favor. "

"Huipu!" Lu Baijie's low roar rolled out of his throat, his face turned frighteningly white, "What on earth do you mean?"

"The slave family..."

"Xu Huipu!" Lu Baijie slapped his palm heavily on the dining table. Cao Changqing and Li Chungang followed up by pressing their palms up to stabilize the table, so that everyone would not be covered with vegetable soup.

Xu Huipu raised her head and looked at Lu Baijie without fear, holding her neck and saying nothing.

Lu Baijie's momentum weakened instantly, and he whispered: "What exactly are you going to do?"

Thinking of the threats from Yu Jiankang and Xu Xin, Xu Huipu stiffened her face and said in a deep voice: "What does it have to do with you if I talk to Mr. Lu?"

"Why me?" Lu Yuan interrupted: "Who in this garden is not more famous than me?

Why are you looking for me? "

"Master Lu, why should you be so humble?" Xu Hui said calmly: "Who in the world doesn't know the name of Jade Faced King Kong?"

"It turns out it's you!" Lu Yuan suddenly said: "Are you too anxious?"

"what?"

"I'm just saying how did such an unpleasant name spread? It turns out that you guys were behind it." Lu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and poked Xu Huipu with a smile, "Then let's put it this way, Wang Ba today The scholars who talked nonsense and flattered me during the debate are also your people?"

"Young Master Lu knows your lesson well." Xu Huipu didn't panic at all and said what Yu Jiankang had prepared for her, "Young Master Lu is a talented person in this world. Although you and the Lu family had some misunderstandings before, this does not affect how much we value Mr. Lu." Talent.

If Mr. Lu is willing, from today on, all the scholars in Jiangnan and the Qingliu in the Imperial Academy and the Hanlin Academy will be your help.

Whether you want to become an official in the court or start a sect, we will fully support you.

As long as Mr. Lu is willing, the slave family is also willing to serve you as a slave and maid. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Xu Zhihu's face turned dark instantly.

This is a blatant attempt to steal people from their Xu family!

He is still a slave and a maid, and his appearance is not as good as that of a Weixiong. He is still using beauty traps at an old age, and he is not afraid of laughing out loud!

Xu Huipu saw the disdain and disgust in the eyes of her former close friend Xu Zhihu, but looked away without saying a word.

The two were both widowed before, and they were quite familiar with each other.

But since the Xu family secretly tricked Xu Zhihu, the friendship between the two has been in name only.

When things got to this point, Xu Huipu had given up all shame, just pretended to be dead, and calmly accepted the strange looks from everyone.

And Lu Baijie’s eyes were filled with pain.
