Chapter 265 A Big Gift
The housekeeper's words made the father and son of the Ye family jump in their hearts at the same time.
Ye Feifan showed a surprised look in his eyes, staring at the exquisite jade pendant, wondering: "Dad, who is this thing?"
Ye Zhengkang was silent for a moment, and sighed: "This is Lu Wenyao's token! When your grandfather was alive, he had a good personal relationship with Lu Wenyao. Once our Ye family encountered trouble, it was Lu Wenyao who helped and resolved the crisis. In order to express his gratitude, your grandfather made this jade pendant for him. It was me who personally went to his house and delivered this jade pendant to him..."
"Lu Wenyao? The head of the Ding'an Lu family?"
Ye Feifan was slightly surprised, but soon his eyes became disdainful.
"Does the Lu family want to play the emotional card with us? Isn't this too naive? Not to mention that Grandpa has passed away for so many years, even if he is still alive, how can the family's interests be used for emotional reasons?"
"It seems that the Lu family is not having an easy time. They must be desperate, so they came to us for help and used such an old-fashioned trick..."
"Dad, why don't we capture the envoy he sent alive, interrogate him about the Lu family's plans and deployments, and then respond to their plans and deployments, give them a fatal blow, and take down the entire Lu family in one fell swoop. This will definitely be a great achievement in front of the third prince!"
Ye Feifan became more and more excited, and his eyes showed a fanatical look again.
This time Ye Zhengkang did not refute him again, but said without comment: "Let's see the situation first... Where are they now?"
"I left them in the drum tower in the backyard to wait." The housekeeper replied quickly.
"Arrange them to come immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Lu family sent an envoy to visit, which was news that needed to be kept absolutely confidential, so the housekeeper immediately began to clear the area, redeployed the guards inside and outside the house, and then quietly went to the drum tower.
Soon, the Lu family's envoy walked in from the side door.
It turned out to be two tall men wearing straw raincoats. They walked into the hall one after the other. The one walking in front was in his forties, with a gleam in his eyes, looking smart and capable; the one walking behind was carrying a huge sack on his shoulder, covering his face, making it difficult to see clearly, and no one knew what was in the sack. He was reluctant to put it down even after carrying it all the way here...
"Coach Lu!"
Ye Zhengkang directly called out the name of the man walking in front. Seeing Lu Yongfu appear, the last bit of doubt in his heart was also dispelled.
Lu Yongfu is Lu Wenyao's trusted guard. Since he appeared here, it means that their trip was indeed instructed by the old man of the Lu family, not by outsiders who stole the token.
"Patriarch Ye, long time no see!"
Lu Yongfu bowed to Ye Zhengkang, then turned sideways to let the man behind him come up.
"This is our Lu family's cousin, Mr. Wang Tieyi! He is the person in charge of this visit, and he can make any decision on behalf of our Lu family!"
Ye Zhengkang was startled and couldn't help but look at the man. At this time, the other party had put down the sack on his shoulder, revealing a face with a narrow scar on his face.
"Scarlet man!"
Ye Zhengkang's face changed, and he exclaimed.
Ye Feifan on the side couldn't help but look stunned: "Are you the Scarface who captured Xiang Sheng in Ding'an and forced back Gu Sian, the best swordsman in Kyoto?"
He also didn't expect that this legendary top master, now the imaginary enemy of all the families in Lujiang City, would appear here openly.
The scarfaced man smiled and said, "I am Wang Tieyi, known as Scarface King in the Jianghu. I didn't expect you two to have heard of my name. I am so famous now... Hey, Scarface, this name is more elegant than Scarface King. It's not bad for me to call myself this name in the future!"
The father and son of the Ye family looked at each other and saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.
Ye Feifan suddenly sneered: "As expected of Scarlett, you are really skilled and bold! Do you know that after you captured Xiang Sheng, the Xiang family has issued a sky-high bounty for you? Now there are so many people in Lujiang City who want to kill you, but you came to me on your own initiative?"
Lu Yu smiled faintly: "These people should not include Patriarch Ye and Master Ye, right?"
Ye Feifan has always been very self-righteous. Seeing that the other party looked confident, he was furious and snorted coldly: "That's hard to say!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to be tense, Ye Zhengkang remained calm and said lightly: "My son always likes to joke, please don't be offended, Master Wang..."
"Master Wang should know that our Ye family has no ill will towards the Lu family, otherwise we would not have remained silent under the repeated urging of the county governor. I think Master Wang should have no ill will towards our Ye family. I wonder what is the purpose of visiting at this time?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Not only does Wang have no ill will towards the Ye family, but he also came here with good intentions! The purpose of our visit tonight has already been explained to your housekeeper. As the helmsman of the Ye family, doesn't the Ye clan leader want to make the Ye family stronger and replace the Xiang family to become the first family in Lujiang County?"
Ye Zhengkang said, "Young Master Wang, you are joking. Our Ye family and Xiang family are in the same city. We have always been on good terms and help each other. How could we start a war for these false names?"
"I know that your party and the Xiang family are Recently, we have had a feud and the two sides are at loggerheads. It is reasonable for you to hope that we can help, but our Ye family is also facing internal and external troubles and has many concerns. It is our greatest sincerity to be able to not help either side. I hope that Prince Wang can understand our difficulties. This matter is really beyond our ability to help..."
Ye Zhengkang spoke sincerely and looked extremely sincere, but he had already made up his mind in his heart. No matter how much the scarred man in front of him said, he would never agree to his request.
He was determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Only in this way could the interests of the Ye family be maximized.
Ye Feifan on the side followed up, and his words were much more explicit: "The biggest support behind your Lu family is just Lu Yu, who has just become a disciple of Dali Sword Sect, while the backer of Xiang family is the third prince! No matter how powerful Lu Yu is, he is just a disciple of Dali Sword Sect. Even if the third prince is not the future king of Dawu Dynasty, he must be a powerful prince!"
"Even Dali Sword Sect has always been polite to Dawu Dynasty and has never interfered in the internal affairs of the dynasty. How can a small disciple of Dali Sword Sect fight against His Royal Highness the Third Prince? Therefore, I suggest that you should stop while you are ahead, so as not to make things bigger and bigger and end up in a mess!"
"If you are willing to surrender, our Ye family can handle it for you and guarantee that you will not suffer too much loss! If you know what is good for you, think about it carefully!"
On the surface, Ye Feifan is tearing down his father's stage, but in fact, the father and son are tacitly playing the good cop and the bad cop.
If it were someone else, they would have been confused by the tricks of the father and son, but Lu Yu's expression did not change at all, and he remained calm.
He smiled and said, "I have long known that it is not easy to persuade the Ye family to turn against the Xiang family, so I came here to prepare a gift for the Ye clan leader. How about you make a decision after seeing my gift?"
As he said this, Lu Yu untied the sack at his feet and kicked it to the floor.
Suddenly, a disheveled figure rolled out of the sack. It was Xiang Sheng, the second son of the Xiang family who was captured.
