Chapter 2089 An unexpected encounter
In the eyes of the Bailie people, Lu Laoliu is an important member of a noble family, with a rich family and respected by everyone; but in the eyes of the wealthy Jiuyou Emperor, he is just a local rich man. What rare things can he bring that are worth the Jiuyou Emperor sending troops to exchange?
After hearing this, Lu Zhenxian actually had some doubts. Could it be...
"But if it was the Nine Nether Emperor who took the initiative to send troops to help, you wouldn't have to spend all your money."
Lu Zhenxian was stunned, as if he had just met Mo Shubai for the first time. He looked him up and down, and suddenly realized something: "Okay, so that's how it is. You came back this time to lobby for Emperor Jiuyou!"
Mo Shubai immediately bowed to him.
"Old Mo, when did you hook up with Cangyan Kingdom?" Mo Shubai had worked for him nine years ago and was an old man by his side. At that time, He Xiao had not yet come to Blade Harbor.
"Guan Ke, the current chief steward of Yangshan Islands, is my fellow countryman and good friend. We will meet for a drink whenever we have time." Mo Shubai said solemnly, "Don't think that I have received benefits from Cangyan Kingdom. I volunteered for this so-called 'lobbyist' job. Ya Kingdom is eyeing Bailie covetously and is ready to fight, while Mou Kingdom has no intention of protecting it. Bailie is currently in turmoil, and the most capable Young Master Bang is being embarrassed by the family... These difficulties and sufferings should be borne by the clan leader, not you! The master has been kind to me, and I am willing to do my best to help you overcome the difficulties!"
Lu Zhen scratched his head first. He Xiao was really amazing. He even had connections around him.
However, he was actually excited in his heart, because since Emperor Jiuyou had sent Mo Shubai, it showed that he really wanted to take action, and this matter would most likely succeed!
"What price will Bailie and I have to pay?" Lu Zhenxian was not naive. He had been a businessman for most of his life and knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
"The Emperor said you can definitely guess it."
Lu Zhenxian was frightened when he heard this.
He believed that the Nine Nether Emperor would not look down upon his wealth. So, Bai Lie had to pay the price?
What does Emperor Jiuyou want to get from Bailie? Can Lu Zhenxian definitely guess it?
What does Bailie have that is worth Emperor Jiuyou sending troops to beat Yaren up?
Mo Shubai gave two more hints: "The emperor doesn't like Lu Zhensheng and his son because they go back on their words and repeatedly take advantage of opportunities to seize Yangshan. Therefore, Lu Zhensheng can no longer sit on the position of head of the family; and, think carefully, why did the Mou Kingdom help Bailie fight against the Ya Kingdom in the past?"
He Lingchuan managed the Yangshan Islands successfully, and Lu Zhensheng and his son became jealous and instigated the Bailong people to rebel and seize the islands. This was their first attempt to seize the islands.
Taking advantage of the fact that He Lingchuan was unable to look westwards due to the encirclement of Yao State, Bai Lie, under the instructions of Mou State, came to "take back" the Yangshan Islands. This was the second attempt to seize the islands.
Emperor Jiuyou is not a soft persimmon who will not take revenge. If Lu Zhensheng did it on the first day, don't blame him for doing it on the fifteenth.
No matter what the emperor was thinking, when Lu Zhen heard these words, they resonated with him.
Lu Zhenxian suddenly had an idea and was horrified: "This, this..."
Seeing that he seemed to understand, Mo Shubai said, "So, Bailie can accept the assistance from Cangyan Kingdom with peace of mind, but Bailie must first ask for help from Emperor Jiuyou!"
The reason why Cangyan State sent troops must be to respond to Bailie's request for help. Otherwise, what is the difference between it and the invading Ya State? Mou State must not tolerate it.
"Bailie wants to ask for help from Cangyan Country, and the first hurdle he has to overcome is Lu Zhensheng and his son." Lu Zhensheng got excited, sweat pouring down his forehead, "It would be best if they agree, but if they don't agree..."
He, Lu Zhenxian, is not a good man either!
For Abang and Bailie, he risked everything!

There is no wind today and it is a bit humid in Moudu. You will sweat profusely if you walk a few steps on the street.
You Huan, a palace official of the Futai Pavilion, was also unwilling to sit in the carriage, so he rode a tall horse with dozens of guards and went through the busy city to return home.
The guards wanted to step forward to clear the way, but You Huan waved his hand to stop them.
He traveled with a small entourage, and now is a sensitive period, so he didn't want the people to think he was being too ostentatious.
However, Moudu is holding the Lotus Festival these days, and the main street is particularly popular. Not only are small lotus seed and lotus root powder bags sold here, but there are also lotus incense lamps, evening lotus fireworks, and a wide variety of goods.
When Youhuan walked on the street, he felt it was very crowded.
When they were halfway along the main street, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the side and a woman screamed.
Immediately afterwards, a frightened horse rushed over.
This beast was extremely strong and was much larger than an ordinary horse. Its door-panel-like body knocked two vendors away, crushed several baskets of fruit, and even overturned a carriage, heading straight for You Huan.
"Protect the lord!" the guard shouted and flew forward to intercept.
You Huan had capable men under his command, who quickly caught the mad beast and forced it to calm down.
The knight on horseback was a delicate little girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face. At the moment, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
You Huan asked her with a friendly expression: "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"
"Ah, it seems not." The little girl slowly came back to her senses and subconsciously looked down at herself. When she faced You Huan, she looked pitiful:
"Master You, I didn't mean to bump into you! My horse was frightened!"
How could such a good horse suddenly go crazy in such a busy city?
The little girl recognized him, and You Huan was not surprised at all. She just asked, "Which mansion are you from?"
"Sun, Sun Bo's Mansion."
At this time, Miss Sun's servants came over panting.
"I'm fine, but so many people have been affected by you." You Huan pointed to the center of the street. The juice on the ground was as red as blood. "You have to treat their injuries and compensate them for their losses."
"Yes!" Miss Sun turned around after seeing him say that, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
You Huan didn't even look at her.
He was handsome, famous at a young age, and the youngest palace official in the Futai Pavilion. The noble ladies in the capital often "ran into" or "bumped into" him in various ways, some of which were affectionate and some were radical.
This was not the first time that someone had ridden a horse to bump into him in the street, hoping to create contact and impress him.
You Huan had long been fed up with this kind of tactics, and as he was still thinking about the affairs of the court, he was too lazy to say more to Miss Sun.
But just as he turned around, he happened to see two people coming out of the overturned carriage.
He was helped out.
These are two women, seemingly master and servant.
The youngest one was about fourteen or fifteen, with her hair tied in double buns like a maid; the older one seemed to be less than twenty years old, with a frown on her face, a streak of blood running down her cheek from her forehead.
The strange thing is that, while others' faces are covered in blood, they are horrible, but she is like a red plum blossom in the snow, with a shocking beauty. That streak of blood is like red tears, adding countless charm to her soft and pretty face.
