It is estimated that he has some nepotism relationship with Wang Fu.

Wang Fu took advantage of them.

Anyway, someone has to take up the position, so it doesn't matter who it is given to.

Those who give benefits will get the lucrative job.

Win-win.

The secular world and human relationships are mostly like this.

Lu Qing didn't find it strange.

If Lu Qing were a guard, he might also take such a risk.

Are there people with strong wills and noble character? Of course there are. But they simply wouldn't be assigned to this position.

Lu Qing took out a small bag of new Linggu rice, handed it to the guard, and said, "Please accept this rice. Can you please do me a favor?"

The guard took the small bag with both hands, opened it, and took a look. The rice grains were large and firm. He sniffed it and it was fragrant. Obviously, it was not an ordinary product!

"I'll pass it on right away! I'll talk to the steward and have him move your meeting up!"

The guard smiled, bowed, and stepped back, running towards the city lord's mansion.

Good guy, you’re not going to pretend anymore, are you?

A few minutes later, the guard came back at a swift trot, holding a token in his hand. He said to the other guards, "We have an order from above. Let the guests in!"

Then, he ran over and said to Lu Qing, "Master Lu, the steward has already made the arrangements. Please come in with me and rest for a night. Tomorrow, you can meet Master Liu!"

Have to wait until tomorrow?

Lu Qing gave the rice just to confirm his guess. Now that his guess has been confirmed, there is no need for him to waste time here. Having made up his mind, Lu Qing decided to go directly to Liu He after entering the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the guard led Lu Qing to the side room and said he needed to register.

Lu Qing didn't plan to go with him. He prepared to put on his black robe and go directly to see Liu He.

But the next moment, Lu Qing saw an armored guard rushing out of the side room. Judging from the style of the armor, he seemed to be a leader.

When the leader saw Lu Qing, he immediately knelt down.

This kneeling made the guard who brought him in stunned.

The guard stared at the leader, and the expression on his face was extremely interesting!

"Zhao, Zhao Chang has seen Sect Master Lu before!"

"Do you know me?"

"When you came to Bei'an City in the past, I was the one who informed you!" Zhao Chang raised his head and looked at Lu Qing enthusiastically, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

"Oh, it's you..." Lu Qing thought about it and it seemed that there really was such a person. He asked casually, "Got promoted?"

"I am a humble person, but I am highly regarded by the city lord and currently hold the position of centurion!"

"That's right." Lu Qing nodded, then turned his head and looked at the guard who led him in.

He hadn't spoken yet, just glanced over.

The guard felt like he had been electrocuted. He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, his face pale as if he had lost his soul.

Although it was ugly, it was better than the clumsy acting just now.
