Gu Tianyang left helplessly. Things have come to this point. He is powerless to turn things around, so everything can only be left to fate.

In the small courtyard, only Lu Shanchang and the butler Hong Quan were left. At this time, the sky outside was already dark, and the hundred thousand lanterns on the Qinhuai River illuminated the sky and the earth as bright as daylight.

Not far away, the magnificent Biyun Pavilion Painting Boat lies across the river like a huge palace. At this time, the Biyun Pavilion is crowded with people and is very lively.

Next year will be the championship battle of the Courtesan Competition. The annual Qinhuai River carnival has come to an end and it is at its peak.

Lu Shanchang stared ahead, suddenly sighed, and said, "I'm old!"

He remembered that when he was young, did he also like to have fun in the Qinhuai River like the current young masters?

I don’t know when Lu Shanchang stopped coming here anymore, and he even felt very unfamiliar with the Biyun Pavilion in front of him. He was old and was powerless about the wind, flowers, snow and moon. If he didn’t want to come to see Lu Zheng this time, he wouldn’t have come at all.

Lu Zheng had his own idea, and Lu Shanchang knew in his heart that he could no longer get involved in this matter. In fact, for the Gu family, Song Wanzhou was already quite satisfied with being able to enter the third grade this time.

As for the Gu family's persistence in maintaining the prestige of Jiangnan's power family, Lu Shanchang took it lightly. If the Jiangnan power family can maintain their foundation, it will be good, but if they cannot, they will not be forced. After all, the situation is no longer the same, and being too persistent can only increase your worries.

"Hong Quan'er, what do you think?" Lu Shanchang said.

Hong Quaner hunched over and said, "Old Master, in my opinion, Brother Zheng has an idea. If we interfere rashly, our idea may not be higher than him."

Lu Shanchang nodded and said, "Blackland Zhongfu's family, this time I have seen its power. I kill people without blood. It is plain and easy, and it has caused such a big storm in Jiangnan. After this courtesan competition, Jiangnan may change the world!"

Hong Quan lowered his head and said nothing. He understood Lu Shanchang's mood at this time. Zhongfuming seemed to have done nothing, but the current situation was that the Courtesan Competition had evolved into a head-on battle between the Jiangnan Quan family and the King of Qin.

The King of Qin is the son of the emperor and a nobleman of heaven. Can such a head-on battle against the Jiangnan power clan win? Do you dare to win? Under such a situation, the courtesan competition has become no suspense.

Even if Lu Zheng is extremely talented and extremely intelligent at this time, what can he do under such a general trend? What can he do?

If he accidentally makes a statement and leaves stains, it may also affect his future!

It is certain that Zhongfuming quietly led the situation to the current situation. He was the boss on the surface, but in fact everything was in his control.

He raised Lu Zheng, poured cold water on the prince, and let the prince lose all his face in front of the talented disciples. This was completely arousing hatred for Lu Zheng.

Only when Long Zhongyun's hatred for Lu Zheng reached the extreme can this matter be upgraded to this point. And it is not just Long Zhongyun, there are so many talented disciples around Long Zhongyun, and these people exploded together. In addition, the Ruan family, which was already ambitious, all these forces were combined by him, and he had the current "power"...

Lu Shanchang's mind was full of thoughts and his imagination was everywhere. He had an impulse to ask Hong Quan to call Lu Zheng off the ship because he was really worried that Lu Zheng would be energetic and be plotted by Zhongfuming.

Hong Quan seemed to understand what Lu Shanchang meant and said, "Old Master, if Brother Zheng got off the boat today, he would probably be a talented man in Jinling in the future!"

As soon as Hong Quan said this, Lu Shanchang's eyes suddenly shook with his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. Hong Quan's words were very tactful, but Lu Shanchang could hear them clearly and clearly.

The Jiangnan power clan has declined. If Lu Zheng is still protected by the Lu family, how far he can go and how high he can fly in his life? If Lu Zheng wants to break through the world, he must break through all obstacles and find another way.

In this process, no one can help him. If the Lu family forced him to help him at this time, it would only make him mediocre and incompetent, and eventually become a common person.

The reality is so cruel. The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain, while wild grasses may encounter catastrophe at any time.

Just like Lu Zheng now, if his opponent was an ordinary person, Lu Shanchang would not take it seriously at all, but this person was a demon from Zhongfu's family. The conspiracy of Zhongfu's family was unparalleled in the world. I don't know how many heroic emperors died in the conspiracy of Zhongfu's family. Lu Zheng is too young...

"Hong Quan'er, have you met Brother Zheng'er?"

"No, there is only one boy talking to me!" Hong Quan lowered his voice, "But I still mentioned Zhongfuming's affairs to this boy as you mean, and I guess it may not be heard from Brother Zheng."

Lu Shanchang frowned slightly, and the expression on his face kept changing, showing that he was fighting fiercely inside. Hong Quan said: "Old Master, when I got off the pleasure boat just now, I saw the second master. The second master did not board the boat on the shore. He beat his chest and stamped his feet and scolded Zheng Ge'er for being a rebellious son. Obviously, the second master might also want Zheng Ge'er to get off the boat, but..."

"But what?" Lu Shanchang asked with a brow raised.

Hong Quan smiled and said, "The people sent by the Second Master only saw Ying'er. Brother Zheng asked Ying'er to tell the Second Master that the original words were like: 'The pleasure boat is good, the red sleeves are fragrant and the reading is good'. This is said to be the second Master, with his personality, he was meant to jump and scold him!"

Lu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, and his mood seemed to suddenly become clear. He said, "Okay, this kid is so kind to be a good boy. He is so good at studying. He thinks we are clamoring for him!"

"Since that's the case, why are we doing here? Let's go back! It's going to rain and my mother wants to remarry. No one can control the ending of the matter. Let's go!" Lu Shanchang got up and left.

When he walked to the gate of the yard, he turned his head and looked at Hong Quan and said, "Let's go back and buy this yard, arrange a few considerate girls to come and clean up, and move some books from home. Since it's Hongxiu Tianxiang who is good at studying, I, an old man, can come to read occasionally."

"Also, go and call your second brother back, and say I want to see him, don't let him be embarrassed again! Sometimes when I think about it, I don't understand how just his idiot can give birth to a treasure like Zheng Ge'er? Could it be that my ancestors are really virtuous and my Lu family is lucky?"

...

Lu Shanchang left, and on the pleasure boat, the light in Zhongfuming's VIP room was extremely dim.

Zhongfuming sat on the chair, and his whole body seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness. The Qinhuai River outside was brightly lit, crowded with people, bustling, and blooming flowers.

Zhongfuming likes this feeling, hiding in the dark to see the light, revealing his little bit, and he seems to be able to see the whole world clearly!

The tassels outside were gently lifted open, and a tall figure slowly walked in. The candles in the room were lit and the darkness disappeared. Zhongfuming withdrew his gaze with regret and said, "Qianqian, what's wrong with coming here so late?"

Li Qianqian took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow will be the champion battle for the courtesan. At night, Qianqian felt extremely calm and no one was disturbed. Qianqian thought a lot of things in her mind, and gradually understood her painstaking efforts."

"What do you understand?" Zhongfu said clearly.

Li Qianqian said: "I understand that this time the teacher seems to have nothing to do with the matter on the surface, but everything is in your calculations. The current situation has evolved to such a situation. The teacher has already thought about it!

You said I was short-sighted and only stared at Lu Zheng. In your eyes, Lu Zheng was just a little man. You want to help the King of Qin achieve his goal of layout in Jiangnan. You can imagine that after tomorrow's game, the situation in Jiangnan can be decided!"

When Li Qianqian said this, her face was filled with excitement. She knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, you really have the talent of unpredictable ghosts and gods. It is a blessing for Qianqian to worship under your disciple. In the future, Qianqian hopes that Mr. can give more advice. I will definitely live up to my expectations for me."

Zhong Fuming shook his sleeves gently, smiled faintly, and said, "Since ancient times, planning things has been planning people. It is a conclusion to whoever does what. Different people do different things, the result is very different. The mystery in it is indescribable and you need to understand it yourself!"

Li Qianqian said: "Teacher, Lu Zheng should be doomed this time, right? If this is true, then wouldn't it be meaningless to let the disciple be enemies with him for the rest of his life?"

"Haha..." Zhongfu Ming laughed loudly, and after a long time, he said:

"Qianqian, you must always remember that the world is ever-changing, and everything is not always there. If Lu Zheng is really doomed, you mean that this son cannot become a weapon at all. How can such an ordinary man be worthy of being your enemy for the rest of his life?

If Lu Zheng is really a dragon among humans and can be resurrected in such a situation, his reputation will be further pushed up. Through this incident, everyone in the world knows the name of Lu Zheng. Qianqian, his lifelong enemy, will gradually know your existence."

Li Qianqian was speechless. She looked at Zhongfuming, and her eyes showed admiration. Zhongfu's family was indeed well-known, and this Zhongfuming was very powerful.

However, Li Qianqian suddenly moved her heart and said, "Lu Zheng is the most treacherous. In the eyes of Mr., can he really escape this time?

To be honest, I had already thought about it before coming, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of any way Lu Zheng had to break the situation. In my opinion, is there still room for all this?"
