Chapter 141: There is nothing that cannot be solved by a drinking party (three updates today)

"Thank you, my lord."

"Once again, I am grateful to you, sir."

When Chu Wujiang finished his practice happily, Huo Qiushui stepped forward and bowed to express his gratitude.

Judging from her appearance, it seems that she has benefited a lot.

"Master Huo..."

Just as Chu Wujiang opened his mouth, Huo Qiushui suddenly came close to him and asked expectantly:

"Sir, you don't have to be so polite in private. Just call me by my name."

Beautiful eyes with three white sclera can easily make one look aloof and cold, but at this moment Huo Qiu Shui looks more charming with shining starry eyes.

Chu Wujiang didn't pretend to be serious and nodded:
"Then I'll call you Qiu Shui."

"What did Qiu Shui gain this time? Did he understand the true meaning of hell?"

Huo Qiushui shook his head and said with a little shame:
"not yet."

"I am a stupid girl, and I have died more than ten times. I finally understand the true meaning of killing and fear."

"Mr. Qin said that the punishment and mercy that will follow will require more training for ten days to half a month."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but praise:

"This is already impressive."

"The true meaning of hell has four levels, and it is not so easy to control."

"If Qiu Shui is considered stupid, there are no smart people in the world."

The martial arts memories sent by Old Man Qin also include the origin of the true meaning of hell. It is said that a Buddhist master joined the army and gradually perfected the true meaning of martial arts through killing.

Finally, the warriors in the army developed the "Extreme Prison Lightning Art" and the "Thunder Prison Sword Technique" based on this true meaning. Only when the two were combined did they become complete.

It is naturally quite difficult to practice such martial arts.

Huo Qiu Shui was able to make such tremendous progress in a short period of time, he can definitely be called a genius.

"Compared to you, I am naturally stupid."

Huo Qiu Shui came very close and said with a smile.

She seemed a little too proactive.

Chu Wujiang could easily smell the woman's body fragrance, and could not help but be affected by the beauty's physique. His mind was shaken, and he explained softly:
"I have some special opportunities that cannot be compared..."

"I understand."

Huo Qiushui decided to stop while he was ahead, took two steps back, and bowed again, saying:
"From today on, this hero flag will be your treasure."

"My lord, if you don't mind my interrupting you, please concentrate on the true meaning of hell."

Chu Wujiang immediately replied:

"This hero flag originally belonged to the Huo family. Chu is just keeping it temporarily."

"Qiu Shui can come over whenever you want to use him."

Huo Qiushui was delighted when she heard this, and a bright smile appeared on her face:

"Then please give me more advice, sir."

After seeing the two of them flirting, Mr. Qin said unhappily:

"Okay, stop wasting energy."

"This old bone is not used for you to chat."

"Remember to bring more Yuan Dan and Ling Ye next time."

"And good boy, I'll give you the seeds. You'll also take care of Nangong Hen's matter. Find him as soon as possible."

"Otherwise he will do something no one would have thought of!"

After Master Qin finished speaking, without waiting for the two to object, he drove them out of the hero flag and sent a seed of the true meaning of hell into Chu Wujiang's body.

Once Chu Wujiang finds Nangong Hen, Old Man Qin will be able to mobilize the power of the Hero Flag and take his old friend away.

……

Chu's house, living room

Chu Wujiang had just finished checking the hell seeds, and Huo Qiushui was about to get up and say goodbye, but the old housekeeper reminded him:

"Master, how about having a quick meal first?"

"I have already ordered people to prepare several tables of banquets to entertain the guests."

At this time, Chu Wujiang realized that it was getting dark. He had been busy all day and the training of the Hero Flag was too time-consuming.

"Who else?"

"There are Marquis Zhenhai, Earl Weiyuan, Prefect Liu, Governor Zhou, Emperor Guangzhu and others."

As the saying goes, a poor person in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.

When Chu Wujiang just came down from Ghost Crying Ridge, there were only malicious temptations. Now a lot of friendly people come here to win over the relationship. Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and said:

"Master Huo, please wait and leave."

"It's a coincidence that we came here today. Why don't we have a meal together and discuss the future of Longzhou?"

"Uncle Fu, please go and invite Marquis Jingping back."

Originally, he wanted to meet with them one by one and talk things out.

The hero flag has been here for too long now. If I wait until tomorrow to meet him, it will seem that I am disrespectful to him.

It's one thing to let it hang out for a while, but if you leave it out for too long, it will offend people.

Chu Wujiang had no choice but to hurry up and invite everyone to have dinner together to avoid being accused of being rude.

"Yes, master."

The old butler agreed and immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.

Soon, the maids of the Chu family prepared a banquet with various delicious dishes and delicacies from land and sea in less than a quarter of an hour.

For a wealthy family, their kitchen does not cook only when needed, but cooks all the time in case of emergency.

Just like Shi Chong, a famous wealthy man in Chu Wujiang's previous life, in order to ensure that every guest could have a bowl of hot mung bean porridge when he visited, he ordered people to stew it for 24 hours.

As long as there is a need, it will be met immediately.

In terms of productivity in this martial arts world, the Chu family is much richer than Shi Chong. The kitchen is cooking all the time to ensure that they can prepare enough food for a banquet at any time, and the prepared dishes are kept warm in steamers.

As for the dishes that are not fresh, they will be sold to nearby restaurants or given as rewards to subordinates.

Therefore, as soon as Chu Wujiang decided to entertain the guests, the banquet was immediately prepared.

Chu Wujiang sat in the main seat, Marquis Jingping was on the right, and Huo Qiu Shui was on the left. This was also a concrete manifestation of the relationship between the three families.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Zhenhai, Earl Weiyuan and others exchanged glances with each other and then took their seats one after another.

Chu Wujiang raised his glass and said loudly:

"This time the evil god invaded, Longzhou was in turmoil, evildoers were rampant, we can only work together to maintain peace."

"Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival. By then, there will be more demons and monsters running rampant, destroying the overall situation in Longzhou."

"I am a humble person, but I am willing to take the lead in organizing a team, so that all parties can work together to ensure peace in this area."

Prefect Liu and Governor Zhou's faces changed slightly, but they did not speak to stop them.

After all, the followers of the evil gods have not been completely eradicated, and many of them have become bandits, making Longzhou's public security a poor problem except in the big cities.

The two of them came to the Chu family, not only to visit Chu Wujiang, but also to ask the Chu family to donate some money and manpower to solve the aftermath of Longzhou.

As for organizing a party, it is just a gray area and does not blatantly violate the court regulations.

In particular, Governor Zhou is a prince's party member, and Chu Wujiang is also a prince's party member.

The fact that Chu Wujiang could organize a group in Longzhou meant that the power of the Prince's Party would increase, so they had no objection.

Jingping Hou, Huo Qiushui and others immediately spoke up:
"We have no objection."

As for the others, they remained silent and thought about how to deal with the situation.

Chu Wujiang didn't intend to dither, so he raised his glass and continued:

"Of course Chu also knows that he has had some minor conflicts with certain people in the past."

"As the saying goes, past grudges are gone with the wind, and a smile when we meet again will erase all grudges."

"Chu doesn't want to bother about it anymore, and doesn't want to bring up these bad accounts again."

"If you agree, please drink this cup to the full."

After drinking this glass of wine, the past grudges will be over, and we will work together to move forward.

Now even Zhenhai Hou and Di Guangzhu raised their glasses and shouted in unison:
"Let me offer a toast to Lord Long Cheng."

"The old grudges are gone with the wind, and when we meet again, a smile will wipe out all the grudges."

The old butler almost cried with joy. Who could have thought that the Chu family, a viscount family, could gather all the nobles from Longzhou together and have them toast together.

"very good."

"Now that the grudge is settled, let's talk about the future of Longzhou."

Chu Wujiang restrained his expression and said seriously:

"First, from now on, we will begin to limit the planting area of ​​spiritual rice and plant less."

"Second, starting today, the land rent in Longzhou must be reduced to a reasonable level."

"Third, the people have suffered heavy losses this time. We must all contribute money to provide relief to the people in the name of the court and reduce the number of evil spirits born."

"What do you think of Chu's opinion?"

Who is for and who is against?
Chu Wujiang smiled and looked at everyone.

Lord Longcheng, are you crazy?
Do you really think you are the master of Longzhou?
Marquis Zhenhai, Earl Weiyuan, and Emperor Guangzhu couldn't help but change their expressions.
