Chapter 271 Retirement

Lu Yongfu followed Lu Yu and inspected the county governor's mansion, which had completely changed its owner. He couldn't help but feel a bit unreal, as if he was in a dream.

When he just set out, he would never have dared to imagine that the final result would be like this.

This cousin took down the entire Lujiang City by himself, and he hardly spent any effort. Although he subdued several masters of the Xiang family in the battle to capture the city tower and finally won, the whole battle process still looked very easy, as if he had not reached his limit.

If he had not participated in it throughout and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, Lu Yongfu would not have dared to believe that all this was true.

"They are coming."

Lu Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly said happily.

Lu Yongfu came back to his senses and followed his gaze. He saw a group of people walking towards him in a hurry. The two beautiful Dali Immortal Masters were walking in front of Zui. Dou Changhe, Yan Dadao, Bu Yuntian followed closely behind, and then came the followers they led.

Lu Yongfu was shocked again. It was the time when the water level of Lujiang River was in a state of emergency. The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the waves were huge. How did they manage to get here in such a short time?

Soon everyone came closer, and Lu Yu took the initiative to greet them and smiled and said hello.

"No accidents along the way, right?"

Dou Changhe smiled and said, "Thanks to my cousin, everything went smoothly! My cousin has done such a big thing here. If we can't even do such a small thing, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, my cousin?"

After a pause, Dou Changhe looked at the Wen sisters on the side and said sincerely, "Of course, all this is still relying on the power of the two venerables!"

Lu Yu also looked at the Wen sisters on the side, only to see that they showed a little fatigue on their faces, and said, "Thank you for your hard work on the way!"

"It's not hard, anyway, it's you... that cousin who provided us with elixirs to recover, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hold on for so long!"

Wen Rulan almost let it slip, but fortunately she changed her words in time to make up for it. After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled.

"Then... after returning, I will definitely ask my cousin to give more subsidies to the two venerables to show my gratitude!" Lu Yu said in the same tone as her.

Wen Rulan's eyes lit up, and she immediately took advantage of the situation: "You said it, it's a deal!"

Wen Ruman, who was standing by, also took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and threw a wink at Lu Yu.

This made Lu Yu's heart beat wildly, and he thought to himself that the two sisters were getting bolder and bolder. Aren't they afraid that others would see through their flaws and expose their identities?

Lu Yu ignored the two sisters and turned to look at Dou Changhe and others.

"You came at the right time. You will follow me to meet Ye Zhengkang and others in a while. Although the Xiang family has been temporarily taken down, the incident happened in a hurry, and there are still many Xiang family members who have not been eliminated. They will definitely fight back in the next few days, and they will revive from time to time. How to consolidate the results here is up to you to discuss with Ye Zhengkang and others!"

Everyone was slightly startled. From what he said, could it be that he was planning to leave?

"Is the cousin planning to leave?" Dou Changhe asked the question in his heart.

Lu Yu nodded: "I have more important things to deal with. Now I have wasted a lot of time. I will not stay here for too long. But don't worry, I will definitely deal with everything here before I leave."

Dou Changhe's expression was complicated. He knew Lu Yu's true identity, so he also knew that the other party could not stay here for a long time, but he didn't want to leave so soon.

As for the other people around, they felt that this matter was too sudden.

"Manager Dou, you have stayed in the Lu family for a long time. Your qualifications, experience, talents, and cultivation are all good. After I leave, you will be in charge of all the affairs here. If you encounter difficulties, you can discuss it with Coach Lu Yongfu. Coach Lu is loyal to the Lu family and will definitely consider it for the Lu family!"

Lu Yu said, looking at Lu Yongfu on the side.

Lu Yongfu was flattered: "I am just a rough man, I can only teach people to practice martial arts, I am not good at these twists and turns in government affairs, I will obey the orders of Dou Guanshi in the future, if I encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will go to the old master for help!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "In this case, I will have to trouble Coach Lu."

In fact, his original purpose was to let Lu Yongfu be the spokesperson for the old master here, so that there would be no more conflicts due to the issue of subordination, and with the shrewdness and sophistication of the old master Lu, with him controlling the overall situation behind the scenes, Lu Yu could be completely assured of the future situation in Lujiang.

"Another point is that in the future, the affairs in Lujiang will mainly be based on the Ye family. No matter what, our Lu family is an external force after all. If we interfere too deeply in the affairs of Lujiang, it will easily cause conflicts..."

"Moreover, I said that I would support Ye Zhengkang to become the new governor of Lujiang County. This is not an empty talk. This is the plan that is most likely to be accepted by the Dawu court and the plan that best suits the interests of our Lu family."

"No matter what others think, you must guard the pass well. Don't think that the Xiang family is destroyed, and our Lu family can be blindly arrogant and want to replace it... If we really do that, there will be endless disputes!"

Lu Yu's tone was stern, with a strong warning.

Everyone nodded silently.

After explaining these, Lu Yu didn't say anything else, and led everyone to meet Ye Zhengkang and several other clan leaders who were cleaning up the results of the battle.

After the two sides met, there was a round of greetings.

When Ye Zhengkang learned that Lu Yu was about to leave, he was shocked: "Young Master Wang, are you leaving so soon?"

It's not that he was reluctant to leave Lu Yu, but the Xiang family had just fallen under his butcher knife. It can be expected that there will definitely be many people who want to ask for revenge on the Xiang family. If Lu Yu, the thunder bearer, was not there, he would probably be unable to sleep and eat immediately.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "If I don't go out and make some arrangements, how can I get the Dawu court to take the initiative to hand over the position of the county governor to you? Can I just sit here and wait for others to come and confer the title?"

Ye Zhengkang was stunned and asked cautiously, "I wonder where the destination is, sir? How to make it happen? Do you need Ye's help..."

Lu Yu raised his head slightly and looked towards the northeast. His eyes became deep and blurred, as if his sight had passed through many obstacles and saw a distant and majestic city.

"Qianwu City."

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't it said that the third prince and the seventh prince have always been at odds? If I go over and give the seventh prince a big gift, I wonder if I can help the head of the Ye clan get back the status of a county governor!"

Ye Zhengkang suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. He felt a little scared when he heard the word "big gift" now.

I wonder what kind of "gift" he will give to the Seventh Prince this time...

"In that case... I wish you a safe journey and success!"

Since the other party is going to solve this problem, Ye Zhengkang has no reason to keep him, so he simply said: "When do you plan to leave? I will prepare some wine to cheer you up!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "No hurry... Didn't you say that the Third Prince has sent reinforcements? Why don't you go and find out which road the reinforcements took and where they are now?"

"In this way, I can also take care of these things on the way to Qianwu City!"
