Chapter 288 Fame in Kyoto

The escort team entered the city without any suspense.

Although there were still some manure carts on the road, they were not enough to pose a threat. Under Li Qingcheng's personal surveillance, these manure carts were intercepted from a distance and quickly driven away from the post road.

The people around were completely dumbfounded. They originally wanted to give this demon who came from afar a warning, but they didn't expect that the other party had such a powerful ability. This matter was easily resolved by the other party in this way.

Even when Lu Yu's carriage passed by, he deliberately leaned out of the window and waved to everyone to express his gratitude, making it seem as if everyone came here specifically to welcome him, and the flowers along the way were also carefully prepared by them, which made everyone feel very depressed.

In the end, the group successfully arrived at the destination of this trip-Honglu Villa without any danger. Along the way, except for the people who stopped to watch, no other accidents occurred.

Honglu Villa is a manor under the Ministry of Rites. It is usually used to entertain state guests. Because the Prince Consort's Mansion is being prepared, Lu Yu was temporarily arranged to live here.

"It seems that Kyoto is peaceful and the people in Kyoto are also very warm and friendly. They are not as ferocious and murderous as you described!"

Seeing that they arrived at the destination very smoothly, Lu Yu said to Zhou Peiling with a smile.

Zhou Peiling snorted heavily and turned her head away angrily.

She knew in her heart that under normal circumstances, this journey would never be so peaceful and peaceful. At least there would be many people cursing and booing on the roadside. The reason why these situations did not occur was probably because people were completely stunned by the move of this demon when he entered the city.

Even Zhou Peiling herself did not expect that the final result would be like this. She was deeply shocked by Lu Yu's move at the time and could not recover for a long time.

With one strike of the sword, the stinking and filthy road surface can be transformed into a vibrant and flourishing one. This kind of divine power is probably comparable to the power of the sword master of the neighboring country who can melt snow with one sword.

On the other side, Zhou Zunian and Li Qingcheng also happened to talk about this matter...

"I didn't expect that the prince consort was so powerful. No wonder the great martial saint master died in his hands. It's not unfair for the death of Master Gao..."

"I heard that there were several groups of people on the road, planning to challenge the prince consort when we entered the city... There was even a group of people who planned to knock down the dragon statue and kill the prince consort when we passed Longwu Gate, but in the end they didn't take any action, obviously they were shocked by the prince consort's strength..."

"It seems that although the decision of Lord Nian and His Majesty was hasty, it really chose a good prince consort for Princess Gaoyang!"

Li Qingcheng took the opportunity to report back and told Zhou Zunian about some hidden events behind the scenes.

Zhou Zunian looked in the direction of Lu Yu. At this time, the other party had stood together with the two core disciples of the Dali Sword Sect and seemed to be talking about something, but there was obviously a special barrier protecting them, and they could not hear what they were saying.

"This person is not simple. He is definitely not an unknown person. I don't know where he came from!"

Zhou Zunian sighed. At first, he was very happy to see Lu Yu successfully solve the dilemma, but after being happy, he couldn't help but fall into deep fear.

Li Qingcheng was slightly startled: "Hasn't it been investigated? He is a cousin of the Lu family in Ding'an City. Even the patriarch of the Lu family has confirmed it... Could it be that the information is wrong?"

"It's probably just a cover. If the Lu family really has such a cousin, why has it not been well-known for so many years?" Zhou Zunian asked back.

Li Qingcheng was speechless. Indeed, the Ding'an Lu family has such a powerful helper. I'm afraid that its reputation has long been beyond the Lujiang County.

"Could this person be the Lu Yu?" Li Qingcheng raised a new question, "Lu Yu was able to kill Xiang Chen, who was highly regarded by the Third Prince, and he is indeed a child of destiny!"

Zhou Zunian shook his head: "We have sufficient intelligence. Lu Yu has been imprisoned in a place where he can never escape. Moreover, even if it is Lu Yu, he has only been a disciple of the Dali Sword Sect for a few months, and it is impossible for him to have such strength..."

"Then... who is he?"

Now, Li Qingcheng was completely confused.

Zhou Zunian pondered for a long time, and finally said: "No matter who he is, he has a thousand connections with the Dali Sword Sect. As long as he is from the Dali Sword Sect, we don't need to worry too much. After all, the Dali Sword Sect is still regarded as the state religion by our Dawu Dynasty, and it is still trustworthy."

After a pause, he continued: "You immediately go to the Third Prince and tell him what happened today. Ask him to make preparations and host a banquet for the new prince as soon as possible. In this case, we can no longer treat this person as a mere chess piece. It is still worth making friends with him!"

"Yes."

Li Qingcheng took the order and left in a hurry.

Since the Prince Consort has already moved into Honglu Villa, the Ministry of Rites will naturally be responsible for the security issue, and his mission has been successfully completed.

Unexpectedly, just as Li Qingcheng was about to leave, before he had time to leave the Honglu Villa, two groups of people rushed over.

Both groups of people were dressed in the same eunuch costumes, and they were obviously from the palace.

"The Queen Mother has ordered that the newly promoted Prince Consort Wang Tieyi of Gaoyang County has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and he has been very tired all the way. Tonight, a banquet will be held in the Cining Palace to welcome Prince Wang! Please prepare yourself and come to the palace to see the Queen at 5 p.m."

"His Highness the Seventh Prince has ordered that a banquet will be held in the Yonghua Palace tonight to welcome Prince Tieyi of Lujiang County... Well, since the Queen Mother has already invited him to a banquet, please come to the Yonghua Palace after the banquet to sit for a while and have some desserts and fragrant tea..."

Two groups of people rushed to Lu Yu and directly stated their purpose.

Li Qingcheng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Unexpectedly, the newly promoted Prince Consort Wang Tieyi had just arrived in Kyoto, and before he even touched the stool, the invitation to the banquet was delivered directly to him.

Moreover, the invitation was from two very important figures, one was the head of the harem, and the other was the Seventh Prince, whose influence was no less than that of the Third Prince. Such a scene had not appeared in Kyoto for many years.

It seemed that the Third Prince was still a step late after all...

Thinking of this, Li Qingcheng didn't care to listen to how the people on the scene dealt with it, and ran out of Honglu Villa like a runaway.
