2020: C2020 Invitation to Stay for the Time Being

C2020 Invitation to Stay for the Time Being

"I have already sent people to the Cabinet to investigate, and Lord Fu will not return to the capital until next month. If you look for him now, I'm afraid you'll miss him. "1

Xiahou Li explained to Lu Yu.

Talisman science was Lu Yu's senior brother, and he was also an important position in the court. He was a top scholar, and he was now the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall. Not only did he hold a high position in the court, but he also had a great reputation in the literary world.

As such, he would usually be in charge of the imperial capital. Unless there was something important, he would not leave the imperial capital so easily.

Lu Yu did not stand on ceremony and said with a faint smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Uncle."

"Hahaha, this way of addressing me is somewhat foreign. I am a few years older than you. You and I will address each other as brothers from now on!" Xiahou Li laughed heartily.

Lu Yu did not feel flattered. He nodded and did not say anything.

The carriage was pulled by a fine Demonic Beast Stallion. It could travel a thousand miles in a day, but it still took two hours before they arrived at the Thunderwhale House.

As a count of Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty, the building of the Thunderwhale Mansion was very luxurious and spectacular. From afar, it looked like a huge town. Countless houses stood in a forest, and there was even a river passing through the mansion.

A group of servants had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. Standing in front of them was Xiahou Li's wife, who was dressed in a formal attire and came out to welcome them.

Behind her was a young woman, and her eyebrows were similar to Xiahou Li's. Her skin was as white as jade, and her cheeks were bright red. Her red phoenix eyes were full of vigor.

"Aunt, I heard that uncle won this battle. The imperial court will reward him handsomely!" The young woman was a little excited.

The young woman's name was Long Yunshan, and she was the eldest daughter of Madame Xiahou's mother clan. She had come to the Imperial Capital to travel.

The Long Clan was only a clan on a remote star, and could not be compared to the wealthy and powerful clans in the imperial capital.

To Long Yunshan, this count's uncle was a god-like existence.

"When I come to the Imperial Capital this time, I must make friends with such a powerful person. Otherwise, I will stay in that small place for the rest of my life and never see the world!" Long Yunshan made up her mind.

Soon, two groups of armored soldiers escorted the carriage to the entrance of the mansion.

As a count, Xiahou Li had three hundred personal guards protecting him. These guards had been on the battlefield for a long time. Their bodies had been tempered, and they were filled with killing intent.

As the three hundred guards dispersed, Xiahou Li's carriage appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"Welcome back, Family Head!" All the servants shouted in unison.

Xiahou Li smiled at Lu Yu and said, "Brother Lu, it was all thanks to you that I was able to win this time. When we get to the mansion, I will definitely drink with you."

"Alright."

Lu Yu smiled faintly, but he did not refuse.

He could tell that Xiahou Li was a straightforward person with a forthright personality. He was also very straightforward when he spoke. This was probably because he did not have many friends in the court.

Lu Yu's current strength was close to the six dragons, which was enough for him to be on par with an abstruse immortal. The cultivation world was the most developed, so Lu Yu didn't feel that it was inappropriate.

The two of them walked out of the carriage, and Madame Xiahou immediately brought servants to greet them.

"Who is this person? He actually rode the same carriage as Lord Uncle. He looks so young!" Long Yunshan stared at Lu Yu with great attention.

"Madam, quickly go and prepare the banquet. I want to drink with Brother Lu!" Xiahou Li waved his hand and laughed heroically.
