Chapter 260 Look Who I Am
In the following time, Lu Yu listened carefully to the reports of the managers on the losses.
Lu Yu did not care about the loss of property. His real focus was on the casualties. As long as the people were saved, the loss of property would be recovered soon.
If it really didn't work, he would have to pay back the thirteen families who took advantage of the fire.
After listening to the reports of everyone, Lu Yu silently estimated in his mind that the casualties were not serious. It can even be said that the number of casualties was lower than he expected. Under the joint siege of the thirteen big families, it was quite good to achieve such a result.
"We were able to hold on this time, in fact, there was a lot of luck. If it weren't for the Piercing Cloud Order Arrow sent back by the young master yesterday, which scared them and made them afraid to act rashly, I'm afraid our casualties would be far more than this..."
The old housekeeper Lu Yuanshan said with emotion.
Lu Yu asked, "Did the people from the first, second, and fourth houses still come out to make trouble in this incident?"
"Since the young master joined the Dali Sword Sect, the people from the first, second, and fourth houses have become much more honest. Under the strong request of the old master, they have given up many businesses and handed them over to our third house to manage. This time, the thirteen big families united their troops to attack the border, and some people instigated them to defect, but they were all rejected. In addition, in this battle, they also lost a lot of manpower in each house..." Lu Yuanshan replied.
Lu Yu nodded, thinking that the first, second, and fourth houses still knew the right and wrong, and did not fight in the face of a powerful enemy, otherwise his return this time would be their death.
Lu Yu did not believe that this was because their consciousness had improved. Most likely, it was because of the forced intervention of the old master Lu that they chose to hug the third house together, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
Thinking of his grandfather, Lu Yu could not help but feel a warm current in his heart again.
This old man, who is already over 70 years old, is indeed worthy of being the helmsman of the entire family. Even though he is already unable to walk, he still uses his wisdom to guide the family forward.
If Lu Yu is the Dinghaishenzhen of the third house, then Old Master Lu is the Dinghaishenzhen of the entire Lu family.
"Okay, I have understood the general situation. Now that the war has just ended, there will be a series of tough battles to fight next. The affairs of the family are in ruins. You all have a lot of things to deal with. Go and get busy first! You don't have to stay here with me!"
"The two disciples of the Dali Sword Sect who came back with me this time are my senior sisters. They are not only profound in cultivation, but also proficient in alchemy. They have many healing pills on them. If there are any family members who are seriously injured and dying at home, you can take them to find them. For my sake, they will definitely treat them."
"I will go to the old house to see grandpa in a while. Please do as you please!"
Finally, Lu Yu issued an order to expel the guests.
So all the managers said goodbye and left. It was indeed as Lu Yu said, there were still many things waiting for them to deal with. Let's not talk about other things for now. Just treating the wounded was enough to keep them busy.
Now that Lu Yu promised that two core disciples of the Dali Sword Sect could treat them, everyone was excited and wanted to carry the seriously injured subordinates over immediately.
Lu Yuanshan was the last one to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around and walked back.
"By the way, since the young master is going to see the old man, there is one thing you can mention to him... That is, the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce wants to invite our Lu family to invest. The young master might as well discuss with the old man how to decide this matter..."
"Wanhe Chamber of Commerce invites our Lu family to invest?"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he heard of this.
"When did this happen?"
"It's been a while... Since the young master is not at home, the matter was reported to the old master for decision, but the old master never gave a clear answer..."
Lu Yu shook his head and smiled: "President Yu is really thinking too much. In fact, in my opinion, whether it is the Lu family or the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, it is actually the same... Well, I already know about this matter, I will make a decision, and Fourth Uncle doesn't need to worry."
Lu Yuanshan nodded: "Then I will go out and make arrangements first. Although the identity of the young master cannot be exposed for the time being, the two great disciples of the Dali Sword Sect are here, and they are nominally the young master's fellow sisters. After all, we have to do our best to be hosts."
After saying that, he left the meeting room.
Lu Yu looked at the meeting room that had become empty in the blink of an eye, and turned to walk towards the inner courtyard.
Before he officially went to see his grandfather, there was another person he had to see, that was Xiao Zhu, the maid who had been taking care of his daily life for many years.
Although Xiao Zhu was just a maid, in Lu Yu's heart, she was the person who had the closest relationship with him in the entire Lu family.
She left without saying goodbye and was gone for such a long time. I wonder how she is doing now. Is she bored because I am gone? Or is she finally free and happy that she doesn't have to serve me?
Lu Yu walked around the inner courtyard, but he didn't expect to find Xiao Zhu.
Until he came to the sword room of his father in the past, he suddenly heard a whirring sound of breaking wind. Lu Yu was very curious and walked over to see that it was Xiao Zhu who was practicing sword outside the sword room.
No wonder he had never found her. It turned out that she was hiding here to practice sword.
But when did she learn sword skills...
Lu Yu stood aside silently and watched quietly for a moment. He found that her sword skills were quite immature, and she looked like a beginner. However, there was a hint of fierce momentum between her sword moves. If she practiced diligently, she would definitely be an excellent swordsman in the future.
Lu Yu did not expect that Xiao Zhu actually had such an outstanding talent for cultivation. In the past, she was a maid who was only responsible for taking care of her food and daily life. It was a bit of a waste of talent.
"Good sword skills!"
Lu Yu could not help but exclaimed. He did not expect that after he left, Xiao Zhu was neither depressed nor idle all day, but discovered her own talent for cultivation.
Xiao Zhu was startled when she heard someone talking suddenly, and the sword in her hand was in disarray.
She turned around and found that it was a completely unfamiliar scarred man. She immediately showed a vigilant look, tightened her long sword in her hand again, and pointed it at Lu Yu.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the forbidden area of the third room, and no outsiders are allowed to enter?"
Lu Yu smiled, then stretched out his hand to wipe his face.
"Look who I am?"
Dang!
The long sword slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Xiao Zhu's face was pale, and she cried with joy: "Master, you are finally back!"
