Chapter 269 Banquet
Chapter 269 Banquet
"Everyone, I, Lu Dahai, am in trouble now."
I heard that Lu Dahai wanted to talk about serious matters.
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their chopsticks, sat up straight, and listened to Lu Dahai continue speaking.
"I have a granddaughter named Lu Shengxiong, who is twenty-two years old this year and has reached the age of marriage.
I picked a good-looking and talented young man for her, his name is Zhang Yingcai.
The original plan was to invite all the celebrities from all walks of life to attend the Thousand Lantern Dance Festival next month to celebrate the occasion and arrange a wedding for her, to add to the joy and strengthen the relationship.
But who would have thought that, for some reason, the number of undead corpses causing chaos in Yangzhou this year was much higher than in the past, causing great panic among the people. "
"But let's talk about the most recent one. A few days ago, a passerby was attacked in an alley in the east of the city and his body was left on the street.
In the south market, someone died tragically in the middle of the night, and the stench lingered for a long time;
At the riverside west of the city, someone was dragged into the water and his whereabouts are still unknown.
When will there be peace? How will my granddaughter's wedding be held?"
After saying that, Lu Dahai drank a glass of wine in front of everyone, then shook his head and laughed at himself.
"Alas~ If that's all, it's fine. I'm not completely without a solution.
I have spent a lot of money to gather those who seek the Dharma.
Tomorrow, inside the main hall of the Lu family, I will ask the many seekers of Dharma to clean up the undead corpses in Yangzhou City for a month.
He even invited more than one of the wealthy disciples who came to seek the Dharma.
But recently, a very annoying monster appeared in the Shili Waterside Song House. It is unpredictable and appears and disappears mysteriously. "
“Besides, I had given this Ten-Li Waterside Pavilion to my granddaughter a long time ago, and it is now her territory.
The girl was so disturbed that she swore that she would not get married until she caught the undead corpse."
Lu Dahai sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
“In order to deal with this undead corpse, I spared no expense to invite the Supreme Seeker of Great Divine Powers from Baotian Temple.
Unexpectedly, even he was helpless and could not find any trace of the undead corpse. "
"What's worse is that during a corpse removal operation, it turned into the appearance of the seeker beside the Supreme Being and teased the Supreme Being in public."
"Although the Supreme Master of Baotianyuan later eliminated the guy who made fun of him in public, it was only a clone of this guy, and his real body is still at large."
At this point, Lu Dahai shook his head, looking embarrassed.
"Even the great masters of Baotianyuan are helpless, who can I ask for help?"
"Haha, I really can't do anything about this guy!"
"Moreover, Baotianyuan will never allow the great masters from other sects to interfere in the affairs of their territory."
"But fortunately, there is always a way out."
"Everyone, I know what happened in Sanchuan Town. I have also seen Zhao Yan's methods. Compared with the undead corpses in Yangzhou City, he is stronger.
In terms of concealment, it's even better!"
Having said that, he looked at Meng Ning and the others with eyes full of anticipation.
"Since you have captured Zhao Yan, I think it will be easy for you to deal with this one in Yangzhou City."
"You guys really solved my urgent problem!"
Having said that, Lu Dahai put down his wine glass and glanced at everyone.
At this point he knew that he had made his demands and it was time to talk about compensation.
After all, even for a saint, there is no motivation without benefit.
"Everyone, as long as the Three True Dharmas can solve my problem, feel free to ask for anything."
"After the matter is completed, there will be a generous gift."
After saying that, he held up two fingers.
Ma Chao's eyes lit up, "Two thousand taels of silver? Brother Lu is really generous."
That’s right, in just the time it takes to eat a meal, our Master Ma of the Three True Dharma Sect has already started to treat Lu Dahai as a brother.
"Hahaha! Two thousand taels of silver?"
Lu Dahai smiled and shook his head, "Brother Ma, are you insulting me? It's too little, too little, you are guessing too much."
"Could it be 2 taels of silver?"
“It’s still too little!”
Heard that it was still too little. Ma Chao took a breath and said, "Could it be 20,000 taels of gold?"
Lu Dahai laughed loudly, "You all underestimate me. If this little money gets out, won't people laugh at me?"
He said solemnly: "I will give all the profits from the salt merchants in Taizhou and Chuzhou to the Three True Sect. In one year alone, there will be at least two million taels of silver."
When these words were spoken, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
The young girl in green clothes beside Meng Ning was even more stunned. The previous number was already astronomical to her, and now this concept was even more unimaginable to her.
Lu Dahai picked up the wine glass and took a sip. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, "As I said before, money is just a number to me."
After Lu Dahai finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then glanced at everyone present.
At this moment, everyone was obviously immersed in the shock of the monetary figures and seemed not to have fully reacted to his words.
There was a shrewd gleam in his eyes. As a successful businessman, Lu Dahai was well versed in investment.
He is a businessman and never does business at a loss.
Since ancient times, rare goods have been valuable.
If these young people are really capable of solving problems that are difficult even for those with great powers, then their potential will be limitless.
The Lu family has been unable to practice cultivation for generations. If they want to continue living in this world, it is inevitable that they must seek the protection of the strong.
If the small investment now can be exchanged for the protection of two extremely powerful masters in the future, bringing unlimited opportunities to the Lu family, this deal can be said to be a sure win.
In Lu Dahai's view, he made a profit from this deal.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Sanzhen and his team can really solve this difficult problem.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Dahai waved his hand and said, "Please do as you please, go back to your rooms and rest.
Although the situation of the undead corpses in Yangzhou City is urgent, everyone has been tired from the journey, so you should conserve your energy before getting rid of the corpses.
Just don't forget to come to the hall of my Lu family tomorrow morning for a small meeting. I will announce the collective removal of the corpses at the meeting, and you can also get acquainted with the other practitioners of the major sects I invited."
"Oh, by the way, as for the matter of the cunning undead corpse, you can ask my granddaughter. She knows much more about it than I do."
After the banquet, everyone stood up to say goodbye, and the girl in green with the Zhong Kui mask tied around her waist also left.
Meng Ning walked through the brightly lit corridor, his footsteps echoing in the night.
Suddenly, the young girl in green quickly caught up with Meng Ning and said with a smile, "Little brother Meng, do you still remember me?"
Meng Ning turned to look at her and nodded, "Of course I remember. I wanted to catch up with you before the banquet, but then Jin Wuxin and Jin Wuyi came to fight, so I forgot about it. Later, the Lu family held a big banquet, and I was immersed in it for a while and had no time to spare."
Hearing that Meng Ning still remembered her, the girl's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she seemed to be somewhat happy.
She continued, "My name is Yun Xiaowei, and I am from the Blue Bird Sect. My master came to remove the corpse and I came to find her. At the Dharma-seeking gathering in Shuanglou Town, you gave me three talismans."
"For the next month, we have to work together to deal with the undead corpse. If you have any difficulties, please come to me."
She blinked and added, "Although you may not appreciate my help."
"Miss Yun, what are you talking about? I am already very grateful to you for helping me. How dare I despise you?"
Meng Ning thanked the girl, who seemed even happier after hearing this. She winked at Meng Ning and gradually disappeared into the night back to her room.
Meng Ning shook his head and found his room to rest. In the middle of the night, the moon was high in the sky, and Meng Ning was sleeping soundly when a figure suddenly appeared outside Meng Ning's window.
