Chapter 594: I Want a "Small Courtyard"
The moment he heard "Lu Xin's" words clearly, the enthusiasm on Gui Houjiang's face quickly faded a lot, and he became silent. He didn't speak for a while, which made the atmosphere in the whole room a little tense. It became dull.
Gui Houjiang knew that although "Lu Xin" said he only wanted a small courtyard, in fact, if he really gave it to him, how could it be just a small courtyard? It would definitely be a mansion. He couldn't guess what "Lu Xin's" intention was in building a mansion in the inner ring. After all, the mansion represented a force. It would be better if this was "Lu Xin's" own intention. If the Great Elder secretly instructed "Lu Xin" to do this, then the structure of the inner circle would slowly change, and his interests would inevitably be affected.
Seeing the sudden hesitation on Gui Houjiang's face, "Lu Xin" knew what he was thinking, so he rolled his eyes and took the initiative to continue: "To be honest with you, senior, in fact, I want this small courtyard to be better." There is another purpose, that is, the junior hopes to come to the inner circle more often in the future. After all, it is much better to have friends and brothers in the outside world than to be alone on the island of the heart. Even if grandpa does not allow it, as long as the junior is included. Now that Tamaki has his own place to stay, it shouldn't be a problem even if he sneaks out occasionally."
At the end of the sentence, "Lu Xin" stuck out his tongue naughtily, as if he didn't want to be disciplined by his grandfather all day long, like a young man who longed for freedom after seeing the wonderful world.
"Looking at him, he doesn't look like he's acting. He seems to really want to stay in the inner ring. And the first time he comes out, he shouldn't be so deep in the city. It's just that his power in my inner ring is still there. The surname is 'Lu'. If this happens, it will be really difficult." Looking at "Lu Xin", Gui Houjiang thought to himself, still a little hesitant.
"Little friend Lu Xin, it's not that I don't support your idea, and if you like to come to my inner circle, I will naturally welcome it. But after all, my experience is still shallow. If you can do it on your own, If you go wild, I'm worried that your little friend will be deceived by an adulterer. If something happens, I won't be able to bear it."
"Actually, my Jiang family's mansion is always open to the little friend. If the little friend likes me, he can come and live at any time. Even if the little friend comes out behind the elder's back, I will never betray the little friend! "As Gui Houjiang said, his expression gradually softened. Apparently he realized that there was something wrong with his current state.
"You cunning old fox, you used such an excuse to frustrate me." "Lu Xin" looked at Gui Houjiang, who was slowly smiling again on his face, and cursed secretly in his heart.
In fact, the idea of building his own mansion was something "Lu Xin" just thought of temporarily. What he had thought before was to bring all the members of the organization to Jiang Baoer's mansion. But when he had an idea just now, he thought that it would be better to build his own mansion. Then it would be much easier and more convenient for the organization to do things, just like it was when Jiang Chu was there.
Perhaps raising such an idea on normal days would arouse suspicion, but now that "Lu Xin" has just recovered from a serious injury, it is difficult for people to be suspicious if he expresses his thoughts at this time. This is why "Lu Xin" suddenly changed his original attitude. plan.
"Senior's good intentions are naturally well understood by this junior, but I really don't want to bother senior and Brother Jiang repeatedly. And although senior's worries are reasonable, senior has also seen it. Now junior has several brothers helping him. I believe that with them here, the juniors will not suffer any loss.”
"Furthermore, this junior also wants to boldly borrow some experts from the senior to help him take care of his own courtyard. In this way, everything will be fine." "Lu Xin" said, thinking to himself When he took the initiative to ask Gui Houjiang for help, he actually gave Gui Houjiang an opportunity to monitor him, so that Gui Houjiang could rest assured. But secretly, his real intention is to use the trick to make it true and false. On weekdays, members of the organization can put on a show in their own mansions for the people of Gui Houjiang, which will actually make the organization less likely to be discovered.
Seeing that there was still hesitation on Gui Houjiang's face, "Lu Xin" knew that he would seriously die if he didn't use his killing move. So he bowed to Gui Hou Jiang and continued: "To be honest with Mr. Gui Hou, in fact, this junior and brother Jiang are very close to each other. Although we had some unpleasantness before, this junior now knows that it was entirely due to brother Jiang. Because of my concern. Therefore, I actually hope that I can come to the inner ring more often and get closer to Brother Jiang. But if I want to come out again after I return to Heart Island, I need to give my grandfather a reason that can convince him. And for this reason, I’m afraid the most appropriate and reasonable one is that the juniors have their own place in the inner circle.”
"In that time, if the juniors come to the inner ring often, they can often discuss Taoism and cultivation experience with Brother Jiang. The juniors can also ask Master Guihou for advice. In return, the juniors can actually take Brother Jiang there when the time is right. Go to Xindao and ask Grandpa to give some advice to Brother Jiang, so that both of us, the younger generation, can benefit a lot."
There was a clear hint of joy on his face, but Ghost Marquis Jiang quickly and skillfully suppressed it. As a Ghost Marquis, he needed permission to enter the Heart Island, but if "Lu Xin" really led the way, his useless grandson could enter the Heart Island whenever he wanted, wouldn't it be a great help to his cultivation? Moreover, if Jiang Baoer could show up in front of Ghost Marquis Lu more often, the amount of fortune that Jiang Baoer would be able to obtain in the future would definitely not be given by Ghost Marquis Jiang himself. Isn't he aware of this?
As meticulous as "Lu Xin", he naturally caught the joy on Ghost Marquis Jiang's face. He knew that now was the time to give Ghost Marquis Jiang the last dose of strong medicine. So, he quickly continued, "Also, I actually want to recommend Brother Jiang to attend the Dao Cheng Ceremony with me in three years. After all, among all the fellow Daoists who can attend the Dao Cheng Ceremony, I only know Brother Jiang. If we can enter together, I believe we can help each other, and the chances of inheriting the Dao from Lord Ghost King will be much greater. However, this is just my own selfish thought, and I haven't asked Lord Ghost Marquis for his opinion, please forgive me."
Forgive me? Ghost Marquis Jiang almost jumped up and bowed to "Lu Xin". He finally got "Lu Xin" to his house, wasn't his purpose to let Jiang Baoer participate in the Dao Cheng Ceremony? And now, if "Lu Xin" really wants to recommend him in person, it will be difficult for Jiang Baoer not to participate in the Dao Cheng Ceremony. How can he not be happy?
"Are you serious about what you said, little friend Lu?" The excitement on his face could no longer be concealed. Ghost Marquis Jiang stared at the young man "Hungry Ghost" in front of him, and his voice suddenly rose several points, and said.
"I dare not lie to Lord Ghost Marquis in the slightest. I just don't know what Lord Ghost Marquis thinks. If Lord Ghost Marquis has other ideas, I will follow his ideas." "Lu Xin" captured the changes in Ghost Marquis Jiang's expression very completely, so he also knew how to speak at the moment.
"Bao'er, go and call Tietou to me. I want to see him appear in front of me within ten breaths." His face suddenly became serious, but Ghost Marquis Jiang did not continue "Lu Xin's" words, but shouted to Jiang Baoer who was still kneeling beside him.
Jiang Baoer was startled, then quickly got up and ran out. Only six breaths later, a tall and burly bald hungry ghost followed Jiang Baoer into "Lu Xin's" bedroom, bowed to "Lu Xin" and Ghost Marquis Jiang, and said in a rough voice: "Greetings to the old master, greetings to Lord Lu."
This Tietou is a capable general under Ghost Marquis Jiang. He has a profound cultivation and powerful means, and he is quite capable in doing things. Therefore, Gui Houjiang took Tietou by his side, basically treating him as a close servant and guard.
"Tietou, within half a month, I want to see another brand new mansion within three miles of Baoer's mansion. This mansion must be built according to the standards of my Guihou Mansion, and it must be built as well as possible, and it must be built on a treasure land with excellent feng shui." Gui Houjiang ordered Tietou very seriously.
Tietou listened to the words of his old master and said with difficulty: "Old master, there is no such a large piece of treasure land within a three-mile radius to build a mansion. The surrounding area has long been occupied by others."
"Hmph", Gui Houjiang said: "Even if you have to rob, you must rob me such a piece of land. This is what Lord Lu needs, do you know?"
As Gui Houjiang's close servant, Tietou naturally knew something about the identity of "Lu Xin", but he still felt a little embarrassed, so he kept silent.
"Lu Xin" knew that Gui Hou Jiang was now using practical actions to show his attitude, and the "small courtyard" he wanted was almost in his pocket. Seeing Tietou's hesitation, "Lu Xin" knew that it was the best choice to give in now, so he hurriedly said: "Gui Hou's kindness, I appreciate it. But I don't need any Feng Shui treasure land, nor do I need a large mansion, just a small courtyard that can accommodate thirty or forty people."
Gui Hou Jiang naturally hoped that "Lu Xin" would give in, which would make things much easier for him. However, he had to keep his face tight in front of "Lu Xin", after all, he knew that the better he treated "Lu Xin", the greater the possibility that Jiang Baoer would participate in the ceremony of inheriting the Dao.
So, under "Lu Xin's" various concessions and Gui Hou Jiang's repeated "kindness", "Lu Xin's" inner ring residence was finally determined to be a mansion that must be built on Feng Shui treasure land and the scale must not be smaller than Jiang Baoer's ghost general's mansion.
