Lu Pingan promised Lu Linglong to accompany her more, and he was indeed not in a hurry to return to the inn tonight, so he decided to stay with Lu Linglong and spend more time with Lu Linglong.

But if it's night today, it is not convenient for Lu Pingan to show up in front of others, so he can't take Lu Linglong outside to play, only tell her stories in the room.

Fortunately, Lu Linglong was very interested in those things about Lu Pingan, and he was very happy to hear them.

After a long time, Lu Linglong couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

After Lu Ping'an handed Lu Linglong to Uncle Bai, he planned to leave.

Uncle Bai smiled and said softly: "Master, you are still the same as you were before, a gentle and kind person in your heart."

Lu Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "I only face people who deserve to be treated this way. But in fact, I have changed a lot compared to the past."

Uncle Bai said, "But the old slave feels that your nature, Master, has not changed."

Lu Ping'an said: "Maybe, it's getting late, and uncle Bai, please rest earlier."

After that, Lu Pingan walked out of the room and once again used his invisibility ability to leave Lu's house quietly.

After returning to the inn, Lu Pingan found that Meng Shaoyuan and Tianhe, who were in the two rooms on his left and right, were not resting.

After all, for practitioners of their level of strength, there is no problem without sleeping for a long time.

"Since you are not sleeping, come here."

Lu Ping'an said in his room, and it didn't take long for Tian and the two to push the door and walk in.

Tian He asked, "Is everything going well? Didn't it be discovered by unnecessary people?"

Lu Pingan said: "There was no accident. Only three people knew that I had returned to Wanqiu City, and they were all trusted people."

Tian Hedao: "With your abilities, Lu Xian, this can be expected. So what is the situation about Jiangliao City?"

Lu Pingan said in a few words, he told them both of them.

Meng Shaoyuan said: "That means that tomorrow you will pretend to be a guard and follow your cousin, the city lord of Wanqiu City, to negotiate with the people in Jiangliao City?"

Lu Pingan nodded and said, "That's right."

Tian He said: "Let's go with you too. It's fine to stay here anyway."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Well, I have no objection."

Lu Pingan said, "Maybe, it's okay to have two more guards anyway."

Tian Hedao: "In short, we are right to listen to your orders. After all, it is your family's business. You can make your own judgment based on the situation."

Lu Ping'an said: "Okay, then that's a deal."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "With the three of us here, even if the people in Jiangliao City have any ugly ideas, they are destined to fail!"

Lu Ping'an said, "It's correct to say that, but it's better to resolve it through negotiation."

Tian Hedao: "But I'm afraid... things are not that simple."

...

Early the next morning, the three of Lu Pingan went to a previously agreed place.

After getting there, they saw Lu Tianhai, and only himself.

"This is my cousin. These two are my good brothers, Tian He and Meng Shaoyuan."

Lu Pingan gave a brief introduction to the two parties who had never known each other.

Tian He and Meng Shaoyuan bowed their hands to Lu Tianhai.

But Lu Tianhai looked at Tian He in surprise, and said, "You...you are the son of Tian Yan, Tian He?"

Tian He nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Tianhai naturally knew what had happened to the Tian family back then. Looking at Tian He at this time, his emotions were a bit complicated.

After being silent for a while, Lu Tianhai said: "Your father... is a good city lord, it's a pity..."

If it was any comfort and encouragement, Tian He might not have any reaction when he heard it, because he didn't need those anymore.

But Lu Tianhai's words hit him in his heart all at once, leaving him stunned for a long time.

It is estimated that because Lu Tianhai is now the lord of the city, he can better understand what kind of city lord Tian Yan was once, so Lu Tianhai's evaluation is very convincing and rich in content.

Tian He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you! If my father is alive in the sky, he should be very pleased to hear you!"

The few of them didn't talk much. Soon, Lu Tianhai took out three pieces of Lu Family guards' costumes, and then Lu Ping's three put them on the outside, which looked decent.

Finally, the three of Lu Pingan did not forget to change their appearance.

It didn't take long for them to really become three Lu Family guards in their twenties and thirties, with extremely ordinary looks and temperament.

Lu Tianhai looked at the three of them and said, "As expected, they are all strong practitioners. With this disguise, the whole person has completely changed. If I didn't know in advance, I wouldn't be able to recognize it."

Lu Ping'an said: "Tianhai Bo, you can just treat us as the Lu family guard, do whatever you want, and you have to make a full set of the show."

"Well, I have my own measures."

Lu Tianhai said, his face immediately became serious, and said: "What are you still doing, why don't you **** me to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The three of Lu Pingan glanced at each other, smiled, and then they all said, "Yes, Lord City Lord."

After a while, the four of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion together.

The other people who went to participate in the negotiation have also gathered in the mansion.

Someone saw that Lu Tianhai brought three strangers over, and he couldn't help asking, "My Lord, these three are..."

Lu Tianhai said: "My Lu family's guard."

When everyone heard the words, they all understood, and they didn't ask more.

Although there will be official guards here to protect Lu Tianhai, it is normal for him to trust his family more.

But in fact, as the lord of the city in Lu Tianhai, it is inevitable that there will be the Lu family in the government. But even if those Lu family members don’t know Lu Ping’s three of them, they will not say much. They just think that the lord of the city must have his own intend.

All in all, the three of Lu Pingan smoothly became the guards by Lu Tianhai and joined the team going to the negotiation this time.

As for how to negotiate with the other party and what plans and preparations were made, Lu Tianhai and other people in the government were discussing. Lu Ping's three did not intervene, but just stood quietly aside.

After a period of time, Lu Tianhai and the others had discussed about it, so they boarded a few carriages and formed a team of more than ten people and went to the agreed place.

The place agreed by the two parties is the nearest town to Wanqiu City and Jiangliao City, and belongs to another city, named Honggu Town.

Lu Tianhai had already sent someone there, and the latest news he got so far was that there were no ambushes or traps, and everything was normal.

Their entire team was advancing at an unhurried speed, and after more than an hour, they arrived at Honggu Town.

No accidents happened along the way.

But even so, the three of Lu Pingan and Lu Tianhai were sitting in a carriage from the beginning, protecting him inseparably.

Honggu Town is a very ordinary town with no special features. The reason why it was chosen as the negotiation site is simply because it is a third-party site. For both parties, the distance is more appropriate.

When they arrived in the town, they went directly to a beautiful, quiet and elegant courtyard, and this was the specific negotiation site between the two parties.

The owner of the courtyard is a rich local man who lent it to them.

After inspection by the person Lu Tianhai had sent before, no abnormality was found.

However, when they arrived, Lu Pingan went to stroll around in person.

After all, the strength of Lu Tianhai's subordinates should not be much higher. If the opponent has a more advanced magic circle, or someone with a higher realm is in ambush, it may not be able to be checked.

But with Lu Ping's perception ability, coupled with the detection function of the Devouring System, there are basically no formations and monks he can't find out.

After a while, Lu Pingan returned to the room where Lu Tianhai, Tian He, and Meng Shaoyuan were.

Because the people from Jiangliao City hadn't arrived yet, they had to wait first, and this just gave them time to prepare.

Lu Tianhai asked: "How is the situation?"

Lu Ping'an said, "There is no problem. This is a normal courtyard."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Brother Lu said that there is no problem, then it must be like this."

Tian He said: "Could it be that those guys really want to negotiate well? Didn't play any tricks?"

Lu Tianhai said: "Although I don't quite believe it, at least for the moment, they have done nothing."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "It's best to do this, otherwise they will regret it."

Lu Pingan asked, "Then how are your preparations for the negotiation?"

Lu Tianhai said: "The specific dispute is actually a bit complicated, but we are willing to take the initiative to retreat and just want to resolve the matter, depending on whether the other party can accept it. Of course, we will not confess at the beginning. We need to look at the situation first. After all, those mineral resources involve the interests of the entire Wanqiu City, and we cannot easily give in."

Lu Pingan said, "What if they don't accept it?"

Lu Tianhai said: "We chose to retreat, and the conditions given were also full of sincerity. If they still disagree, it means that they do not intend to have a good talk with us, just want to take advantage of our Wanqiu City."

Lu Ping'an said, "Well, I believe Tian Haibo's judgment. If they have to make an inch, there is no need to continue talking with them, otherwise they will think that we people in Wanqiu City are easy to bully."

Lu Tianhai said: "I think so too. No matter how you talk, you must have a bottom line and principles."

In a blink of an eye, the time for a stick of incense passed, and the negotiated time agreed by the two parties also arrived.

However, the people from Jiangliao City did not appear...

This made Lu Tianhai's subordinates in the government feel a little unhappy.

Not to mention the mineral matter, the other party can't even arrive on time. It can be seen that they don't have much sincerity.
