Chapter 243 Tianji Pavilion
Lu Shangbai had no objection to Su He's words. 30 taels of gold in exchange for his life was indeed worth it.
30 taels of gold was nothing to him, but he really didn't have the energy to take out so much at once.
He took out a banknote from his pocket and said, "Mr. Su, I don't have that much gold on me at the moment. Here is a three hundred tael banknote. You can exchange it at any bank under the Lu family."
Su He took a look at the banknotes he placed on the table, reached out and picked them up, rolled them up and put them in his waistband.
After putting it away, he started drinking again.
When he looked up and saw that Lu Shangbai had not left yet, he asked, "Anything else?"
Lu Shangbai clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I won't disturb Master Su from drinking alone."
After saying that, he turned and left. After only taking two steps, Lu Shangbai couldn't help but look back and asked again, "Where is Miss Song now?"
Su He put down his wine glass, looked up at him and said, "Go home."
Lu Shangbai was surprised by this answer: "Go home?"
Seeing that he wanted to ask more, Su He said directly, "Are you very interested in my wife's whereabouts?"
"Husband, Madam?" Lu Shangbai was completely surprised this time.
Su He said, "Ayu and I have been married for a long time." He said this as if it were a warning, but also as a boast.
Lu Shangbai quickly explained, "Mr. Su, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely no other intentions."
Su He now completely ignored him.
Lu Shangbai also noticed that his attitude towards him was very tactful, so he didn't ask any more questions and left.
After returning to the room, he wrote a letter, took out the badge representing his identity, handed it to Shuangque, and asked him to use it to dispatch the people from Lu's Trading Company in the city.
Shuangque left, and Lu Shangbai was the only one left in the room. He sat on the bed, but his mind was still thinking about Su He.
He really wanted to see Song Yu again, but since Su He said that he and Song Yu were already married, why was he here when Song Yu went home?
The next day, Shuangque returned and brought news from the business.
The head of the trading company, upon seeing Lu Shangbai, immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "I didn't know you were coming in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you'll forgive me."
Lu Shangbai waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Did you find what I asked you to check?"
"Boss, the time is too short and there is no clue yet," said the shopkeeper.
"That means you're useless." Lu Shangbai said solemnly, "I'll give you three more days. If you can't find the answer, then it's time to replace you."
"Yes, I will go right away and give the boss an explanation as soon as possible." The shopkeeper said in fear and trepidation.
This time, those people seemed to be well prepared and were determined to kill him.
The only people who could know his whereabouts in advance were those few people.
This time when he was on his way to Tianji Pavilion, he passed by here and was chased by a master. If he had not been lucky enough to meet Su He, he would probably have lost his life here.
It still takes three days to get to Tianji Pavilion.
The previous guards all lost their lives in the fight. If they want to move forward, they have to find a new group of guards.
It is not difficult to find guards, but although ordinary guards have martial arts skills, if they really meet a martial arts master, they will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
So he was considering whether to hire a bodyguard to escort him.
Thinking of the escort, Lu Shangbai thought of Su He again.
Although he still doesn't know Su He's origins, his skills are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If I could ask him to escort me, I wouldn't have to worry so much.
However, this possibility is very small. People with Su Heda's temperament are not the type to take orders from others.
This thought just went through my mind.
Three days later, the shopkeeper came to report the results of the investigation.
Lu Shangbai took a look and found that it was just as he guessed. He originally wanted to let him go, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't want him to live at all.
"Shuangque," Lu Shangbai shouted.
"Yes." Shuangque walked forward.
Lu Shangbai asked, "How's the escort I asked you to hire?"
Shuangque said: "The best escort agency in this city, Rongwei Escort Agency, can take orders."
Lu Shangbai said, "You should finalize this matter now, and we will set off tomorrow."
"Yes." Shuangque clasped his fists and left.
Lu Shangbai said to the shopkeeper, "Pick a few guys you trust and come with me."
The shopkeeper said, "Yes."
Lu Shangbai was preparing for departure. Although the loss on this trip was not small, when doing business, credibility was the most important thing.
No matter how much he lost, he had promised Tianji Pavilion that he would definitely deliver the things to them.
Lu Shangbai and his men successfully arrived at the foot of Tianji Mountain.
They didn't encounter any assassins along the way. I think it was because they saw through that man's trick, which made them more cautious.
"Please inform Lu's Trading Company to deliver the goods." Shuangque stepped forward and spoke to the Tianji Pavilion disciples guarding the mountain.
Upon hearing this, the disciple raised his eyes and looked up and down at Shuangque, then looked at the group of people behind him.
Shuangque took out the token and handed it to the man.
The young disciple took the token and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go and make an announcement first."
"Thank you." Shuangque said.
The disciple took the token and went up the mountain.
This mountain is not high, and the Tianji Pavilion is located at the top of the mountain.
Although the mountain is not high, no one dares to trespass. In the world of martial arts, Tianji Pavilion is extremely mysterious.
As the saying goes, "Heaven's secrets are hard to predict, but those in the pavilion know them all." The disciples in the pavilion are proficient in the art of Yin and Yang, the Eight Diagrams, and Qimen Dunjia.
There are also rumors that the leader of Tianji Pavilion can control life and death, glimpse into the secrets of heaven, and reverse yin and yang.
Soon, the disciple who went to report came back.
"Everyone, please follow me up the mountain." said the young disciple.
Then he distributed the ears of corn in his hand to everyone one by one.
Then he instructed: "Everyone, please wear the tassels carefully and don't lose them to avoid getting lost."
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Shangbai.
Lu Shangbai had no objection and put it on directly.
Others followed suit.
After the young disciple saw that everyone was well led, he led the people up the mountain.
The moment everyone crossed the mountain defense boundary, the scene before them changed instantly.
The originally rugged gravel mountain road suddenly turned into a well-maintained stone road.
They walked along the stone path and soon saw a large hall.
The plaque on the temple gate reads three large characters: Tianji Pavilion.
The young disciple led them around the main gate and entered through the side door.
When Lu Shangbai passed by, his eyes suddenly widened when he saw the familiar figure kneeling in front of the main gate.
"Young master, why is the person at the door kneeling?" Lu Shangbai took two quick steps, caught up with the young disciple leading the way, and asked.
Hearing this, the young disciple glanced at him and said, "Oh, him, he wants to do something that goes against the will of heaven. It's not allowed to go against the will of heaven, so he kneels here to beg the Pavilion Master. It's all just an obsession."
Lu Shangbai's eyes flickered when he heard this. Obsession? What kind of obsession could a powerful man like Su He have that would make him kneel before others?
