If you lose your money, you can earn more, but if you lose your life, you will lose everything.

Although Huo Xiu agreed to Lu Chen, but after hesitating for a long time, he decided to raise another condition.

"Brother Lu Chen, look, since I have surrendered to the imperial court, shouldn't the imperial court give me a half-job as well? It's all because I donated money to buy an official, okay?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Huo Xiu to want to be an official.

"Are you so addicted to being an official? But you won't be guarding yourself like you were in the Jinpeng Dynasty?"

Huo Xiu waved his hand and quickly said: "I just want to find a job as an official. When the time comes, the people of Jinpeng Dynasty will know that I have become an official, and they will not dare to trouble me again."

"You are really afraid of death. It shouldn't be a problem to be a small official, but you still have to continue to be responsible for coordinating the Tsingyi Building? You were unwilling to hand it over just now, why don't you even care about the Tsingyi Building now?"

"The Tsing Yi Building was originally created to protect myself. If being an official in the court can achieve the purpose of saving my life, then this Tsing Yi Building is dispensable. If you can make good use of it, then I will give it to you. I don't want this burden."

"It just so happens that these money and these talents are all my votes to your Ming court. I'm very sincere, right?!"

Lu Chen nodded: "Boss Huo is so proud! Don't worry, I will satisfy all your demands, but what kind of official do you want to be? Have you ever thought that if you can tell me why, then I will be happy too." Apply directly."

"In case you don't like what the emperor approved."

"Actually, I don't ask for anything. I really don't know what to manage. Why don't you help me find a position in Hulong Villa. In this way, I can also obtain information about the descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty at any time."

"Why are you so full of the descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty? Are they that scary?"

Lu Chen didn't expect that after walking around for a long time, Huo Xiu was still worried about the affairs of the Jinpeng Dynasty, so he became a little interested. Isn't this kind of pity for his life a bit too much?

"Of course it's terrible. The last emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty was extremely cruel. If he was kinder, we wouldn't be able to rebel in place."

"Oh? Then you have to tell me well, what kind of cruel law?"

Chapter 264, The reason for fear of death

Chapter 264, The reason for fear of death

Seeing that Lu Chen was interested, Huo Xiu finally revealed the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years.

It turns out that the last emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty was an outright tyrant, not only cruel, but also happy to kill people.

The Jinpeng Dynasty was originally a small country with a population of only a few thousand people.

But with these thousands of people, the emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty still killed two people every day.

Moreover, this Jinpeng King is also very lustful, walking on the street, whenever he meets a pretty woman, no matter if it is a married woman or a young girl, he will snatch his palace for beauty.

It would be better if it was a girl with yellow flowers, but if it was a married woman, then the husband would be the target of being hunted that day!

After listening to Huo Xiu's description, Lu Chen understood why Huo Xiu and the others made treasonous choices.

Since King Jinpeng is so unreliable, even if he goes back, there is no way out.

"But this guy is so cruel and heartless, why did he send you out to ask the emperor of Ming Dynasty for help!"

"Because that scumbag wants to live, but also doesn't want to step down from the throne. I am a relative of the emperor, so I take on this important task."

"Although I later heard that that scumbag died under the iron hoof of the Turkic emperor, I still have lingering fears to this day, and I always feel that he will come to seek my life!"

"To tell you the truth, I don't have anything wrong with him. If I say I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for those ordinary people, but I'm not responsible for the suffering of those ordinary people!"

When it comes to the depth of love, Huo Xiu shed tears aggrievedly.

Lu Chen had mixed feelings for a while, and Huo Xiu could be considered a poor man, who was tortured by that scum and left a psychological shadow.

But just as the saying goes, the people suffer, and when they die, the people suffer.

Huo Xiu was lucky, he was able to escape with a lot of gold, those common people were not so lucky.

But the dead are gone, and the past cannot be traced back.

Lu Chen couldn't help but pat Huo Xiu on the shoulder to reassure him.

"Don't worry, as long as you surrender to Hulong Villa, I promise that no one will do anything to you from now on. Even if that scum is resurrected, I will definitely protect you!"

Huo Xiu finally let go of the big stone in his heart after hearing such a guarantee.

In order to be able to win the official position of obtaining intelligence, Huo Xiu not only agreed to help rebuild the Hulong Villa, but was more willing to add money to fill the treasury.

Lu Chen was quite satisfied with the result. He originally thought that Huo Xiu would be a difficult person to talk to. Lu Chen was even ready to do it, but he didn't expect to convince Huo Xiu with just a few words.

The two returned to the capital together and came to Hulong Villa.

Cheng Shifei was leading the crowd to clean up the ruins in pain at this time, amidst the smoke and dust, Cheng Shifei's face was even uglier than bitter gourd.

Cheng Shifei had met Huo Xiu before, but he didn't know that he was the richest man in the world, seeing Lu Chen brought Huo Xiu back, he asked a little strangely: "Brother Lu, didn't you go to get money to rebuild Hulong Villa? Why did you come back so soon?"

Lu Chen smiled and pointed to Huo Xiu who was following behind him: "I invited you the God of Wealth, are you still not satisfied?"

"This is the world's richest man, richer than ten thousand three thousand! He has already agreed to sponsor your Hulong Villa, and he will pay for all expenses from now on! Don't hurry up, thank you boss!"

……

Another major event came to an end, and all the tasks of Lu Chen in the capital were finally completed. Whether it was a series of tasks assigned by the system or the Ghost Villa and Tsing Yi Building, Lu Chen had gained a lot.

Now that everything has come to an end, Lu Chen can finally go back to Qixia Town with peace of mind.

Calculating carefully, ever since Lu Chen planned to take Qu Feiyan back to Heimuya to find the evil emperor's relic, he had never lived a single day in peace. He went around more than half of the world without any time to rest.

Now that everything has been done, it's time to go back and complete the main task, and live in seclusion in Qixia Town.

Lu Chen temporarily entrusted the Qilin Army to Cheng Shifei to help rebuild it, while he packed lightly and set off on his way home alone.

Lu Chen didn't stop and didn't delay for a moment, and returned to his hometown of Qixia Town in just half a day.

It was rare to see this playing the piano back. The neighbors in the neighborhood all pulled Lu Chen, asked about everything, and asked about his health. After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, they couldn't walk home.

On the way, I ran into Li Dazui who was shopping for vegetables. Li Dazui recognized Lu Chen at a glance, and directly grabbed Lu Chen and said, "What a boy, you have been out for a whole year!"

"Our shopkeeper is still talking about you all day long. Why don't you come back? Could it be because we broke our roof because of the fight and ran away because we didn't want to lose money?"

Of course a lot of them were joking, and Lu Chen also laughed and said, "Well, if the shopkeeper really makes me lose money, I must be obliged to do so, but I have something to do outside, and I have been running around for a year. busy."

"Then go back and play the piano quickly. Without your music, I always feel that there is something missing. I haven't listened to it for a year. Let me taste it and see if you have regressed!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back today to rest for a while, and from tomorrow onwards, I will continue to play the piano to your inn every day, so that your ears will be covered with calluses!"

"That's impossible. You play so well, how can you get cocoons?"

"Hahaha, by the way, Brother Big Mouth, how is everyone doing this year when I'm not around?"
