Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 24: Proposing marriage, Lu Gong’s dilemma!

Now Lu Gong was not clear whether Gao Yao's intention this time was good or evil. Instead, Lu Zhi's expression was full of excitement. Facts proved that she made the right bet at that time. Gao Yao was scheming, very smart, and dared to take action. With his current status, it was natural.

"Father, Gao Yao had made a promise with his daughter that one day he would come back and marry me."

"What? You two actually got married secretly?"

Originally, Lu Gong asked Lu Zhi and Lu Su to come here to warn them not to talk nonsense around Gao Yao. Now it is different from the past. Gao Yao already has a thousand men, and he was promoted from a soldier to a thousand men in less than a year. Looking around the world, there are not many people who can do this. Lu Gong has to deal with it carefully.

"I made an agreement with Gao Yao at my father's birthday party last time. I plan to marry him. I hope my father will agree."

"Nonsense, I will never agree to this."

Lu Zhi's idea was rejected by Lu Gong. In Lu Gong's opinion, the rest of the people were fine, but Gao Yao was not outstanding in appearance, and he was a soldier with a very low level of education. Even in the Qin Dynasty, people's background was also important. If their background was too poor, they would not be taken seriously by others.

Another point is that during the conversation with Gao Yao, Lu Gong could hear that Gao Yao still respected Qin Shi Huang very much. This was the fundamental reason for Lu Gong, a noble who was a remnant of the six kingdoms. He totally disapproved of it, so Lu Gong naturally would not agree to his daughter marrying Gao Yao.

"Father, you should know that the county magistrate wants to marry my younger sister. The reason why the county magistrate did not mention this matter later is because Gao Yao tried to stop him. It was because of this that I agreed to Gao Yao's proposal, and my daughter really admires Gao Yao."

"this......"

Listening to what Lu Zhi said, Lu Gong was a little bit unbelievable for a moment. He knew about this matter, and he was unwilling to let his daughter marry Chang Ji. Although the two were good friends, it was somewhat embarrassing for Lu Gong to marry his daughter, so Lu Gong kept looking for excuses to avoid it. However, Pei County was Chang Ji's territory, and it was Chang Ji who accepted him in the first place. Lu Gong didn't want to fall out with Chang Ji.

After the last birthday banquet, Chang Ji did not mention this matter again. Lu Gong thought that the other party had given up on his own initiative because he was embarrassed. Now it seems that he thought too simply. It turned out that Gao Yao was the one pushing this matter behind the scenes. Lu Gong did not know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. Gao Yao did have abilities far beyond ordinary people, but the shortcoming was that Gao Yao was still far from the virtuous son-in-law that Lu Gong imagined.

"Report, someone outside the palace sent a visiting card, the other party claimed to be Gao Yao"

At this time, the servant of the mansion came to the outside of the main hall. When Lu Gong heard the voice, his face changed slightly. He never thought that Gao Yao would come so quickly.

"I understand. I will go to greet them myself. You two can go to the backyard."

"Here"

After hearing what Lu Gong said, Lu Zhi didn't say much, and directly took Lu Su back to the backyard. Lu Su obviously wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu Zhi.

"Sister, this matter was caused by me, and I should be the one to explain it to father, but sister..."

"It's okay. I've already said that Gao Yao is a high-ranking person in my opinion. Marrying Gao Yao is exactly what I want. Why don't you agree? But if my sister also wants to marry Gao Yao, I can give him to you."

"elder sister......"

Hearing the teasing meaning in Lu Zhi's words, Lu Su's cheeks also blushed a little. At the same time, Lu Gong had already come to the main gate to greet Gao Yao with a lot on his mind.

"I pay my respects to General Gao Yao"

"Alas, Lu Gong, you are too polite. How can this be possible? I am just a coincidence. I am not a general. Lu Gong, please don't tease me."

"Take turns on duty, the rest of you can go find a place to eat."

"Here..."

At the gate of Lu's mansion, Gao Yao greeted Lu Gong while giving direct orders to the fifty-odd cavalrymen at the gate. The cavalrymen who heard the order immediately gave uniform shouts. There were only fifty-odd cavalrymen, but to Lu Gong, the sound was like that of a mighty army. From the spirit of each of them, it could be seen that they were all elite.

Lu Gong could also see that Gao Yao was not talking to his soldiers, but was clearly trying to intimidate them, telling them that things were different now, and that Gao Yao was no longer the same Gao Yao as before.

"General, please..."

"Lü Gong, please..."

Gao Yao's superficial attitude towards Lu Gong was still very humble, and he did not act overbearingly. Gao Yao knew very well that the more arrogant someone acted, the more likely they were to be arrogant on the outside but weak on the inside.

After the two entered the main hall of the mansion, Lu Gong immediately arranged for someone to serve tea. Gao Yao was very calm and did not rush to speak. He just chatted with Lu Gong slowly. Gao Yao was not anxious, but Lu Gong was a little anxious. Gao Yao was indeed his savior, but Gao Yao was scheming, which made Lu Gong have to be cautious in dealing with Gao Yao.

"General Gao Yao, your visit to Pei County this time should not only be for the purpose of settling down in housing and land, right?"

Seeing that Gao Yao had no intention of speaking, Lu Gong had no choice but to take the initiative to bring up Gao Yao's purpose. He was really afraid that Gao Yao would ask for too much now. After all, if Gao Yao mentioned the last time he saved his life, Lu Gong really didn't know how to repay him.

"Yes, since Lu Gong asked, I will tell you directly. When I left, I had already promised Miss Lu Zhi that I would spend my life together. This time I came back, I also planned to take care of my family affairs. I wonder if Lu Gong knows about this."

“I really don’t know.”

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Lu Gong's heart sank slightly, but he pretended to be ignorant. Gao Yao did not pay attention to Lu Gong's feelings.

"It's my fault too. This kind of thing is indeed not suitable for Miss Lu Zhi to bring up. Since I already have a history with Lu Gong, and now I have won over the Lu sisters, it can be considered a closer relationship. Lu Gong has a good reputation. I wonder what Lu Gong thinks about this matter?"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Lu Gong's face was slightly embarrassed. Gao Yao had made it clear in his words, I have saved your family's life, and now I want to become your in-laws. It is reasonable for you to agree. Now the conditions have been set. If you don't agree, your reputation will be ruined. Do you want to bear the name of ungratefulness?
