Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 357: Lu Cangjiang was transferred away

Lieutenant General Lu thought about it and realized that his brother-in-law was still going to hang out on that street, so he should explain it to him. Then he said to him, "Wang Xiaohu is someone close to General Wang An. You and I can't afford to offend him. Remember this name. I'll let you secretly see the real person when I have time."

Wen Bao said humbly, "Brother-in-law is still good to me. Let me meet him some other time. I will remember it well."

Lieutenant General Lu asked Wen Bao to stay and drink with him. It was not until the evening that Wen Bao, drunk, went to Cuihonglou to find his lover, Miss Dujuan. No matter how good his wife was, she was not as charming as the girl in Cuihonglou.

Wen Bao was living happily in Cuihonglou and didn't want to leave. Anyway, his money came and went quickly. He gave all the money he collected in the past few days to Cuihonglou. This kind of person is very generous with money that is not his own.

The madam of Cuihonglou loves such generous prostitutes who spend money lavishly. Every time they come, it is either Dujuan, Hongxiu or Luyuan who spend a lot of money on them. They welcome such people who are stupid and have a lot of money.

If his brother-in-law comes along, it will be even better, a pair of big perverts. Sometimes, they need several girls to accompany them, and of course they have to spend more money, they are in this flesh trade, and they welcome anyone who comes with a smile.

The next afternoon, Wen Bao came out of Cuihonglou. As soon as he got to the street, his younger brother Wu Zhuozi, who was guarding the street, ran over and said to him in a low voice: "My brother-in-law sent someone to look for you today. We knew you were in Cuihonglou and didn't dare to disturb your sweet dream. Let me stay here to watch over you. Now hurry over to take a look!"

In fact, all of them knew Wen Bao's temper. If they went to find him, he would slap them in the face. Whoever went there would be in trouble, so no one dared to go there.

When Wen Bao heard that his brother-in-law was looking for him, he knew that there must be something wrong. He hurried to his brother-in-law's house and didn't even bother to take a taxi. He only had time to find a taxi and he arrived there in a hurry.

My younger brother Wu Zhuizi did not follow them. When they got there, they had to wait outside the door and never took them in. There was no good food or drink, but there was plenty of wind. Only a fool would follow them!

Wen Bao ran to his brother-in-law's house panting, bent over and rested for a while. He straightened his clothes and walked inside, his face flushed as he walked, shouting: "Brother-in-law, what are you looking for? I just ran over here."

Lieutenant General Lu was sitting in the hall, looking livid and angry without saying a word. The third concubine, who was wearing bright clothes, makeup and had a lot of pearls and jade on her hair, was rubbing his back behind him, saying nice things to him all the time and looking flattering.

When Wen Bao came in, he saw this scene. His sister kept hinting at him with her eyes. He also said flatteringly: "What's wrong with my brother-in-law? I didn't do anything. I was sleeping the whole time."

Lieutenant General Lu waved his hand to let the third concubine leave. She didn't dare to say anything more. She said hello to her brother and went down obediently, twisting her waist and holding her handkerchief.

Lieutenant General Lu pointed to the stool next to him and asked him to sit down. He said angrily: "Today, the superiors issued an order to transfer me away from the army and asked me to go to the mountains outside the city to train new soldiers. This is obviously a demotion for me."

He took a big sip of tea and continued, "I guess your boss is unhappy with you. You shouldn't do anything recently. Didn't you close a store a few days ago? Just run the store and make some money first!"

Wen Bao immediately became anxious, but he was only anxious in his heart. He said, "Brother-in-law, you know I'm not cut out to open a store. Besides, it's a coffin shop, how unlucky!"

Lieutenant General Lu started to scold him: "You idiot, why don't you find someone to supervise you and just collect the money. Anyway, you better keep quiet recently. If something happens, I will be in the mountains and cannot quench my thirst. No one will save you then."

Wen Bao immediately said with a depressed look on his face: "Brother-in-law, I will listen to you in everything. I will do whatever you say. Anyway, I will not give you any less of your money."

Why do you think Lieutenant General Lu is so protective of his brother-in-law? If he hadn't been collecting the money from the tribute, who would have cared about the younger brother of this concubine? The other concubines can't do that. The family members are too honest and can't help him at all.

Lieutenant General Lu was now full of hatred towards General Wang An and Wang Xiaohu. His brother-in-law's affairs should not affect him. He fought his way up on the battlefield step by step, so he had to save some face for himself.
