Seven-star Sword Master

Following Ma Jinbao's narration, the identities of the other two envoys were soon revealed.

Tian Lixiang, the envoy to Pingnan, was from the Tian family, the largest family in Ningtai Township. Behind him stood a line of aristocratic families headed by the two prime ministers on the left and right.

Bai Haiqing, the envoy for pacifying the north, was born in a sect, and behind him stood all the sects in the Da Qi territory.

Liu Xiangyang is a member of the Inspection Department's headquarters, which is also the force formed by the Inspection Department of Da Qi.

The Inspection Office alone is unable to protect the safety of all the people in Da Qi, so the Holy Lord decided that these four forces would work together to maintain the stability of the world.

After saying this, I don't know whether Ma Jinbao said it intentionally or unintentionally, but I heard him whisper:

"Brother Lu, you and my uncle are from the same place. Now that we have come to this point, I might as well speak out.

From this information, we can know that if you want to climb up, you must join one of these four forces. As the saying goes, it is easier to be an official if you have someone in the court.

Brother Lu, you are so young, yet you have already achieved such accomplishments. I believe your future will be limitless.

You might as well consider joining one of the four forces. The world outside is huge. Don't regard Ningtai Township as your end point. You should know that it is just your starting point."

"Thank you, Brother Ma, for letting me know. I'll think about it later."

No matter what Ma Jinbao's purpose was in saying this, to be honest, Lu Feipeng was still very grateful to him. After all, most people would not casually discuss their boss's background with people they are not familiar with.

“It’s okay, Brother Lu. After all, you have just joined the Inspection Department, so you have plenty of time to think about it.

Don't blame me for being biased. You know I am with Lord Liu and belong to the Inspection Department. I suggest you join the team like me."

Ma Jinbao did not urge Lu Feipeng on this matter, but asked him to think about it for a while.

"Brother Ma, is there any explanation for this?"

Lu Feipeng knew that the following conversation might actually involve the core secrets of the Inspection Department.

"I guess Brother Lu doesn't have any thoughts about my father-in-law's family, right?"

Ma Jinbao did not answer Lu Feipeng directly, but teased him first.

Lu Feipeng couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and he complained in his heart: "I will never be a eunuch even if I die."

"Hahaha…"

Seeing Lu Feipeng's embarrassing state, Ma Jinbao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he just heard him say:

“Although the aristocratic families are financially strong and provide extremely generous treatment, there is one thing: it is difficult for ordinary people to integrate into their core circle.

Even if we were lucky enough to fit in, we would still be ostracized by them, because they looked down on outsiders like us who were born in the mud."

"Ok!"

Lu Feipeng couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. He knew that Ma Jinbao was not exaggerating on this point. On the contrary, what Ma Jinbao said was probably very conservative.

"Brother Ma, what about the sect faction?"

When he heard about the sect faction, Ma Jinbao shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Lu, you don't know that the sect's disciples are trained from a young age. Only in this way can we train disciples who are loyal to the sect. If they join halfway, the result can be imagined."

Yes, the development of a sect requires loyal disciples. What kind of disciples are the most loyal? Is there anyone more loyal than the disciples that the sect has cultivated since childhood?

After all the calculations, only the staff from the Inspection Department headquarters are left. Doesn't that mean the staff from the Inspection Department headquarters don't need these anymore?

Thinking of this, Lu Feipeng decided to listen to what Ma Jinbao had to say first, so he asked:

"Brother Ma, what about the headquarters of the Inspection Department?"

Then I heard Ma Jinbao say:

"That's why I recommended you to join our department. You know who we in the Inspection Department serve, right?"

Lu Feipeng didn't even think about it and said directly:

"Needless to say? In the final analysis, we are still serving the Great Qi Dynasty!"

"Yes, that's right. We all serve the dynasty. Do you think the dynasty is worried that you will rebel or usurp the throne?"

"Forehead!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Feipeng suddenly felt enlightened, and thought to himself:

"Yes, no matter what happens, you still have to serve the dynasty. Can you be stronger than the dynasty?"

Next, Ma Jinbao continued to introduce the staff of the Inspection Department:

"Our Inspection Division is not like the other three teams. They all have their own foundations and can deploy personnel from within their own ranks.

The people in this department are a mixed bunch, all of whom joined from all over the empire, so they are very tolerant of those of us who joined the Inspection Department midway."

"I see!"

"Alright, Brother Lu, it's almost time. Let's change our robes and go to Chunhua Tower for the banquet."

Ma Jinbao stood up and looked out the window.

……

Downstairs of Chunhua Building, Fatty Zhou was waiting at the door early.

There was a constant stream of people and horses on the street, and all kinds of hawking sounds could be heard.

Walking on the street, in such a bustling world, Lu Feipeng felt as if he was in another world.

Although Fatty Zhou had been waiting downstairs of Chunhua Building for a while, there was no sign of impatience on his face.

He saw the figures of Ma Jinbao and Lu Feipeng from a distance, but their black robes were too conspicuous.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Fatty Zhou immediately walked towards them with big strides, while letting out a hearty laugh:

“Hahaha…Brother Ma, Lu, Lu…”

Fatty Zhou, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly stopped smiling when he saw the three rings on Lu Feipeng's left arm, and was replaced by a look of confusion.

At this moment, Fatty Zhou only felt a "buzzing" sound in his mind, and then his brain went blank.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou..."

Ma Jinbao walked up to him and stretched out his hand to pull Fatty Zhou who was in a daze.

"Ok?"

The next moment, Fatty Zhou regained consciousness. He pointed at the three circles on Lu Feipeng's left arm, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but then he seemed to remember something, and quickly pulled his hand back after reacting, and said intermittently:

"Brother Ma, Brother Lu, oh no, Lord Lu... Lord Lu is a third-rank patrol guard?"

"Hi!"

Ma Jinbao sighed and said:

"Brother Zhou, you don't know. Today I forgot to ask Brother Lu about his cultivation, so this is a misunderstanding. Brother Zhou, please don't be offended."

After the initial shock, Fatty Zhou recovered. He had seen many cultivators in the Spirit Liquid Realm, and he was initially just frightened by Lu Feipeng's age.

"Brother Ma, Lord Lu, please come in. I have already prepared a banquet in the private room on the third floor."

To put it simply, the nature of Chunhualou is the same as that of Chunlou. To be honest, this is Lu Feipeng's first time visiting a brothel in his past and present lives.

As soon as I entered Chunhua Tower, I smelled a strong and heavy scent of rouge and powder.

What comes into view is a group of girls standing on a high platform, singing and dancing.

These girls were all dressed revealingly, with their bras pulled very low and a light veil draped over their shoulders. Even from a distance one could clearly see the girls' bottomless cleavage.

A group of old perverts in the audience clapped and cheered from time to time. From time to time, someone would point a finger at a girl on the stage, and then whisper something to the boy next to him. Then, that person would be seen walking up to the second floor with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Si would then quickly walk up to the madam and whisper something in her ear.

Then the madam would ask someone to go to the stage and call a girl down, tell her the room number, and after the girl entered the designated room, soon a "squeaky" sound would be heard from inside.

The sound was obviously coming from the wooden bed that had been in disrepair for a long time.

Led by Fatty Zhou, they went through the second floor and went up to the third floor.

When passing the second floor, Lu Feipeng heard the sound of flesh touching flesh and the sound of weakness. He felt a tightness in his crotch and a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, and his face turned red.

After going up to the third floor and entering a room, the unbearable noise finally stopped.

"Pa bang..."

After sitting down, Fatty Zhou suddenly clapped his hands in the air, and the next moment, a beautiful girl with fair skin, long legs, and wearing a revealing gauze dress walked in with a plate in her hands.

After putting the plates on the table, the girls did not leave immediately, but stood in front of the table.

The next moment, a fat and big-eared old brothel owner walked in.

"Oh, Master Ma, you haven't been here for some time."

When the old procuress came in, she immediately started to complain to Ma Jinbao.

Ma Jinbao looked at Lu Feipeng somewhat unnaturally, but after seeing that Lu Feipeng was normal, he gave up.

"What are you talking about, Mother Song? I came here as soon as I finished my work."

"Master Ma must have a good meal and fun tonight. I wonder who this gentleman is?"

At first, the madam was also shocked when she saw the three rings on Lu Feipeng’s left arm.

However, as the madam of Chunhua Tower, she had seen all kinds of important people and recovered in a short while.

"This is the new Lord Lu Feipeng."

Ma Jinbao gave a brief introduction to Ma Jinbao.

After all, this was Lu Feipeng's first visit, and Mother Song couldn't feel Lu Feipeng's pulse, so she just exchanged a few words with him and left.

Ma Jinbao then asked two girls who looked like big sisters next door to come and drink with him.

When Lu Feipeng saw this, he immediately admired Ma Jinbao in his heart. He didn't expect that Ma Jinbao also knew that his sister was not only a treasure, but also a caring person.

He silently gave Ma Jinbao a thumbs up in his heart!

At Ma Jinbao's suggestion, Lu Feipeng somewhat stiffly selected a beautiful young girl.

Fatty Zhou had a big appetite and ordered three at once.

And on the other side, a group of young ladies who were good at singing and dancing started dancing.

The three of them had a very uncomfortable meal.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Fatty Zhou took out a purse from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Clang clang clang..."

The purse jingled on the table.

"Brother Lu, there are some silver coins here, which are donated by some noble families in Ningtai Township..."

After Fatty Zhou finished speaking, Ma Jinbao stood up and spoke for Fatty Zhou:

"Brother Lu, you don't have to think too much. We patrol guards have all the money for this tribute."

As he said that, Ma Jinbao grabbed the purse and stuffed it directly into Lu Feipeng's hands without caring whether Lu Feipeng agreed or not.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, I'm going to go talk to the two sisters about life, you guys continue..."

After saying that, Ma Jinbao put his arms around the two girls’ waists, one on each side, and walked out.

To be honest, Lu Feipeng was feeling extremely hot at this moment, but he did not react like Ma Jinbao. Instead, he stood up and bowed to Fatty Zhou:

"Brother Zhou, let's stop here for today. I'm new here and I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, Brother Lu, you go ahead and do your work..."

Fatty Zhou personally sent Lu Feipeng to the outside of Chunhua Tower and did not stop until he saw Lu Feipeng leave.
