Chapter 2 Provocation

The old Yan Emperor died in the southern wilderness. Such news, like a hurricane, swept across the land of Yunchuan in an instant. The five ethnic groups shook. People with a keen sense of smell in Yunchuan have sensed that this is a signal that Yunchuan is about to change, and a big era is coming.

"His Majesty Yan has been working to balance all ethnic groups for 80 years, and now I'm afraid that all ethnic groups can't be suppressed!"

Who said no! His Majesty Emperor Yan has been working hard for many years, keeping a low profile, aiming to unify all ethnic groups and end this chaotic situation for thousands of years, but in the end, it can't resist God's will!"

"Alas! In those years, the Holy Emperor died for only 200 years, and the five races were divided. Up to now, I don't know when it will be the end!"

Nowadays, it is not only the southern famine, but the topic of street discussion in Yunchuan seems to be inseparable from the funeral of Emperor Yan. Lu Yu walked on the street of Liuyuan City, with white spiritual flags fluttering on both sides of the road, and the usual restaurants and teahouses seemed to be much more deserted. The streets were sparse, and it was rare to see passers-by walking.

"The old Yan Emperor is dead, and I'm afraid that Yunchuan will continue in the future! I don't know how many innocent people will be involved!" Lu Yu sighed in a low voice.

Lu Yu is an orphan, and he can best understand this kind of suffering. Yunchuan has not been fighting for 80 years. Although the life of the people is not rich, it is still there. However, as an orphan, it is very difficult to survive. Although Liuyuan City is a holy place for humanity, a large number of beggars still freeze to death and starve to death every year. After death, the bodies were left in mass graves outside Liuyuan City, like ice pimples, piled up in pieces. When spring comes, the ice and snow melts, and these rotten bodies often become the food in the belly of jackdaws, and even the white bones will not be left.

When Lu Yu was six years old, in order to help his partners in the ruined temple through the harsh winter, he sold himself to the Zhenluo Palace as a slave. Slaves are different from servants. Servants are just pure employment. He can choose to leave, but becoming a slave means that they are not treated as human beings, just like livestock.

However, when Lu Yu was seven years old, Princess Bichee, the youngest daughter of King Zhenluo, didn't know where she was going with her mother. Lu Yu accompanied her. Who knew that she encountered a dead man on the way. In the chaos, Lu Yu fled into the deep mountains with the young Princess Biji at that time. Out of fear and caution, Lu Yu was not ready to go down the mountain until late at night. Returning to the source, who actually met the tooth wolf. He didn't know where he came from. Lu Yu ignored the bite and chase of the tooth wolf and rolled down with the little princess in his arms. His terrible willpower and vitality supported him to return to the source, but he was dying.

This incident shocked the whole southern wilderness, and King Zhenluo was even more angry and difficult to calm down. Fortunately, Princess Brigitte was still alive. Hearing of Lu Yu's tenacity, the superior unexpectedly visited Lu Yu once and issued a strict order to treat him with all his strength. No matter how precious medicinal materials are needed, he could go to the warehouse to get them. That's it. After struggling on the death line for a month, Lu Yu woke up.

He didn't know what happened when he was in a coma. I only heard that Princess Brigitte's mother died in the accident, and then the matter was over, but he got rid of his status as a slave and became a servant of King Zhenluo's family.

You should know that in the noble family of princes, even slaves are divided into internal servants and external servants, and domestic servants will only be selected from among the descendants of servants who have served for generations. Housemates can learn literature and martial arts like those children. It is a great honor for outsiders to upgrade several levels in a row.

Since that accident, Lu Yu has studied hard. He always goes to class two hours earlier than others in the morning and one or two in the evening. He knows that this is his opportunity, and he has to work hard to control his fate.

Because of freedom and loneliness, he has no food and clothing all year round, so Lu Yu's body is congenitally poor. The martial artist said that this is very unfavorable for him to practice martial arts, but fortunately, he is still young. Due to the last change, his body has also supplemented a lot of precious medicinal materials, which can be properly adjusted and can be made up for. Therefore, the royal palace taught him an exception to a set of Musashi Nei Jing.

This is a set of martial arts, but it is the first-class martial arts that lay the foundation. Many Wang's sons have also practiced this. It is rumored that when Emperor Liyuanji was in power, his youngest son was congenitally insufficient after birth and his body was very weak, so Emperor Liyuan created this set of "In Musashi" The Classics recuperate his body and lay a solid foundation.

Lu Yu cherished his current life, but at this time, when he saw that the prosperous downtown had become so bleak because of the death of Emperor Yan, he couldn't help sighing and remembered his life.

Lu Yu walked all the way to the Zhenluo Palace. He passed through the side door of the outer courtyard of the palace and walked straight in. The 15th of each month is the day when the servants of each house receive their monthly salary, but because of the death of Emperor Yan, it has been delayed until today.

The royal palace covers an area of 1,000 mu, and the palaces and halls are scattered. I don't know how many pavilions and pavilions there are. Lu Yu turned back and came to a pavilion. At this time, many people had gathered in front of the building, waiting in line, waiting to receive the monthly salary.

"Lu Yu, you're here!" At this time, someone saw Lu Yu coming and quickly greeted him. He was a close servant of Princess Brigitte and was quite dependent, so generally the slaves were very willing to make friends with him.

"Well, I just arrived!" Lu Yu nodded and stood at the end of the team

"Because of the death of His Majesty Emperor Yan, this month's monthly salary seems to be more than before!" The fat man in front of Lu Yu suddenly turned around and said, not as if he was sad because of the death of Emperor Yan, but because of the extra monthly salary.

"Oh!" When Lu Yu heard this, he thought about it a little. Now his martial arts cultivation is getting more and more advanced, and he spends more and more. He can't lose any medicinal herbs and supplements, otherwise it is easy to hurt his vitality and leave dark diseases. Although Princess Brigitte occasionally has some rewards, Lu Yu is resistant.

"Lu Yu!" At this moment, a voice came and brought Lu Yu's thoughts back.

"There!" Lu Yu shouted and hurried down.

"I haven't seen you these days!" In front of the pavilion, the person responsible for registering and distributing monthly salary was an old man. His temples were white, his eyes were cloudy and dark, and he seemed to be old. At this time, he saw that Lu Yu seemed to be very familiar with him and said.

"Princess Brigitte went to the Imperial Temple these days, so I didn't come to the royal palace!" Lu Yu said that he was very respectful to the old man in front of him.

"Well, do it well. At the end of the year, the house will promote a group of foreign affairs officers, and 80% of them will have you!" The old man said that he seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Yu. Lu Yu was happy when he heard the words, but there were many people here, so he didn't say anything!

"Three hundred catties of sorghum rice!"

"Twenty jars of broth!"

"Five pairs of mountain antlers!"

"The golden tiger bites 40!"

...

A man next to him shouted to the account book, and someone else kept taking out the reported items from the pavilion and putting them in front of Lu Yu. Lu Yu's face changed slightly and finally couldn't help saying, "Zhou Bo, is it a mistake? This month, my monthly salary seems to be more than three times more than before!"

"This is what Princess Brigitte means!" The old man said softly. Lu Yu frowned slightly and wanted to say something. After all, he couldn't help but take it away. The little man next to him has already checked and packaged all the items and sent them to the side house, where there will be someone to register and send them directly to Lu Yu's residence. Lu Yu passed by in everyone's envious eyes and was ready to leave!

"Oh, it's really good. Such a waste is because he hugged Princess Brigitte's thigh, and the treatment is much better than those of us who have worked for more than ten years!"

"Who will let people skate and pat the horses and serve Princess Brigitte? If you also want to have this kind of treatment, just be cheap!"

"Well, I won't do this kind of dog slave. I'm selling strength, not to make others a dog!"

The servants below whispered. They all thought that Lu Yu relied on the favor of Princess Brigitte, but they did not know that Lu Yu's martial arts was profound. Naturally, these words could not be hidden from his ears and eyes, but he was confrontational and did not care about it.

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to serve your master!" Lu Yu went out of the remote house, and at this time, a few shadows stopped him from going. Lu Yu looked up and his eyes flashed boredom.

"Ge Chong, what do you want to do?" Lu Yu said in a low voice.

"Dog, how dare you call Master Ge's name when you see that Master Ge doesn't kneel down and salute!" Ge Chong came out behind and shouted at Lu Yu. Lu Yu frowned slightly and just wanted to say something. He only heard a loud "pa" sound. Ge Chong slapped back and slapped the man in the face. Suddenly, there was blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. The man not only did not look angry, but also knelt on the ground and kept making amends: "Master Ge is angry. It's a small mouth!"

"Well, don't look at whose dog you dare to scold. Can you say that the first loyal dog under Princess Brigitte's seat is also your kind of thing?" Ge Chong looked sneer and said to his subordinates, but he looked straight at Lu Yu with a provocative look in his eyes.

Lu Yu's face is ugly. The name in front of him is Ge Chong. The eight generations of his ancestors are all domestic slaves of the Zhenluo Palace. They are very important in the royal palace. They are like nobles among the servants of each house, and they are one of the largest factions. When Ge Chong was very young, it was said that his grandfather asked someone to buy a section of Jiaowen bamboo for him to eat.

Lu Yu knew that it was a kind of elixir, which can be called a rare treasure. It is said that it was made by pouring blood from Jiaolong. He once saw it once in Huichuntang, but it was only two spiritual leaves of Jiaowen bamboo, but he also sold 50,000 taels of gold. Such a precious secret medicine is enough to develop infinite potential even if it is a pig, so Ge Chong has been amazingly talented since childhood, and his martial arts cultivation can be said to be thousands of miles a day.
