Chapter 317: Unprecedented Pressure
Wait until Lu Xunhuan rushes to the back door and takes a look.
Wow, I don’t know what the quality of this dowry is, but at least the quantity is huge.
I don’t know how much property Ye Yayun took away from Baihemen when she left Baihemen to buy such a large dowry.
He quickly said to everyone, "Follow me to the front door."
At the command, hundreds of people carried the dowry and marched straight to the front door.
In front of the prince's mansion, there was a large group of people guarding, including servants and guards.
Seeing hundreds of people carrying things, he hurried forward to ask.
Lu Xun Huan said, "Madam's dowry was specially entrusted to our Xialou to deliver. We had to buy so many things, so please forgive the slight delay."
A guard quickly said, "Please come in, I'll go inform the prince."
Hundreds of people carried the dowry and marched into the prince's palace. They put it down in the designated place, covering a large area.
The Fifth Prince came hurriedly and asked: "Are these all Yayun's?"
Lu Xun Huan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, your Madam has a surprise for you. She specially entrusted us, Xia Lou, to deliver it on behalf of her family. Congratulations, Your Highness."
The Fifth Prince laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, what a big surprise. Thank you very much, thank you very much."
He pulled Lu Xunhuan and said, "Come on, come on, Supreme Master Yu, let's continue drinking."
Lu Xunhuan returned to the table and sat next to Zixia.
He turned to look at Zhu Tianpeng and found that he was still absent-minded, just eating and drinking without saying a word.
Lu Xunhuan's heart was in turmoil because he had heard Shangguan Shangshu's voice before.
He later looked carefully at Shangguan Shangshu's figure, which was very similar to the president of the Immortal Friends Association who went to Taiqing Gate that day.
Are there two people in the world who have very similar figures and voices?
Zhu Tianpeng had heard the president's voice many times before, and when he heard Shangguan Shangshu's voice just now, he must have been in great turmoil.
At the table, everyone started toasting each other.
Zhu Tianpeng held up the wine glass and turned around to toast Lu Xunhuan.
Lu Xunhuan discovered that his hands were trembling slightly.
He asked Zhu Tianpeng, "Brother Tianpeng, what's wrong with you? Are you still in pain?"
Zhu Tianpeng held it in for a moment before uttering only one word: "Do it."
By the time the wedding banquet was over, it was already dark.
Some officials and important wealthy people stayed to continue the dinner, while most people said goodbye and left.
Lu Xunhuan supported Zhu Tianpeng and walked out of the gate of the prince's mansion.
Outside the gate, there were countless carriages parked. They were rented by the prince's palace from all over the city to take guests home.
Lu Xunhuan originally planned to ride in the same carriage with Zhu Tianpeng to send him back to the Immortal Friends Association, and then he would go back to Xialou with Zixia.
But Zhu Tianpeng waved his hand and said, "I can go back by myself. I won't bother you two anymore."
Lu Xunhuan knew that something was wrong with him, so he didn't force him.
After Zhu Tianpeng's carriage left, he took Zixia and left in another carriage.
In the car, Zixia asked quietly, "How is it, did you gain anything today?"
Lu Xunhuan made a "hush" sound, signaling her not to speak.
Then, he fell into deep thought.
The next day, after breakfast, Lu Xunhuan prepared to do what Princess Manman had asked him to do, which was to follow her husband Cheng Bufan.
But before he could leave, Captain Ma called him, "Backyard."
In the pavilion, everyone sat around the table.
Captain Ma asked Lu Xunhuan, "Are you on good terms with Zhu Tianpeng, or not?"
Lu Xun Huan replied, "It's okay, just superficial friends."
He asked: "What's wrong?"
Captain Ma said, "I don't know who the Immortal Friends Association offended. Last night, all 28 members of the Changzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association were wiped out."
"what?"
Lu Xunhuan was extremely shocked: "Who did it?"
In fact, he already knew who did it, but he was shocked and asked this question instinctively.
Captain Ma shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I think it's from a certain sect of the immortals. According to rumors, someone from the immortals broke into the Immortal Friends Association the day before yesterday, smashed a lot of things, and even kidnapped someone. You were there at the time."
Lu Xun Huan rubbed his forehead and said, "That's too cruel."
Captain Ma nodded: "Yes, that's why I'm worried about you."
He stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhu Tianpeng is dead. You may be very sad, but at this time, don't go to the murder scene of the Immortal Friends Association. Stay as far away as possible."
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for Xia Lou."
After returning to the room, he sat for a while, and Zixia came to find him.
"Supreme Treasure, why don't you go out and hide for a while, and take me to the Northland?"
Lu Xun Huan asked, "Are you planning to go back to your father?"
Zixia said: "Yes, but I am not safe alone. Can you protect me and take me back?"
Lu Xunhuan understood that she didn't really want to go back, but wanted him to stay away from the criminals for a while.
He thought for a moment and said, "Call your sister over. I want to ask her something."
Zixia nodded: "Okay."
Soon, Qingxia came and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
Lu Xun Huan asked, "Master Zhuang's fifth wife, according to Master Zhuang himself, has been divorced by him and has returned to her parents' home in the north."
"Do you know the name of her fifth wife, or rather, where her family lives in the Northland?"
Qingxia asked, "Master Zhuang lost that thing. Do you suspect that the Fifth Madam might have stolen it?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "I just want to get some information from the side. I can't just listen to Master Zhuang's one-sided story."
Qingxia nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll help you look up some information."
After Qingxia left, Zixia showed a happy smile on her face: "Supreme Treasure, we are going to the North."
Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'll take you back."
Zixia said, "When the time comes, I will introduce you to my father so you two can get to know each other."
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, let me meet the most famous general of Western Chu."
After a while, Qingxia came.
She said, "The Fifth Madam's surname is Hua, and her name is Hua Mengdie. Her father is a wealthy man in Beidi City. He lives in the Hua Mansion in the south of the city and has many business dealings with the garrison. My father should know him."
Lu Xunhuan stood up: "Okay, thank you."
He began to pack his things: "Zixia, go pack your things, we will leave immediately."
The murder of Zhu Tianpeng and all the members of the Changzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association gave Lu Xunhuan a strong sense of crisis.
Outsiders were unaware of the situation and thought it was done by some immortal sect.
But Lu Xunhuan knew very well in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, Shangguan Shangshu would be the president of the Immortal Friends Association.
Because Zhu Tianpeng had heard his voice before, and he heard his voice in person at the Fifth Prince's wedding yesterday.
Therefore, if Shangguan Shangshu does not want to reveal his identity, he must continue to hide and kill Zhu Tianpeng.
Even after killing Zhu Tianpeng, he was still not at ease. He was worried that Zhu Tianpeng would go back and tell other members of the Immortal Friends Association, and then he would kill all of them again.
No wonder Zhu Tianpeng was absent-minded yesterday. He must have known his fate.
If that old man Shangguan discovered Lu Xunhuan's true identity, Lu Xunhuan would be in a very dangerous situation.
He must find the dragon bone as soon as possible to increase his strength.
It would be best to find them all, gain enormous power from the dragon bones, and make your strength increase by leaps and bounds.
In addition to the threat from the president of the Immortal Friends Association, there is also the leader of the Shenlong Pavilion who is eyeing us covetously.
Once he has collected all the dragon bones, the leader of the Shenlong Pavilion will not sit idly by and wait for him to gain power, and will definitely take action.
How will you do it?
I guess he wanted to kill him, take out the six collected dragon bones, and use them for himself.
With two huge mountains hanging above his head, he felt unprecedented pressure.
