Lu Zifeng looked at the two of them talking excitedly about going to his new villa to play, and said a little depressedly.
"Um, did this prince agree to let you go to the other courtyard? Why are you so excited?"
Situ Yi just sat down in his seat casually.
"Brother Feng, if you don't invite us today, we will be the main force blocking the door on your wedding day."
Lu Zifeng was furious when he heard this, but he found that they were right. Although they were not Situ Yao's biological brothers, they were cousins. Wouldn't they have the qualifications to stop him from picking up the bride? After thinking it through, Lu Zifeng nodded.
"Okay, we're all good brothers. I'll arrange for someone to make preparations and we'll meet at the city gate tomorrow morning."
After sending Situ Hao and the other two away, Lu Zifeng returned to his own yard and told Lu Chun to go to the other yard to prepare first. Those were a group of carnivores, so wine and meat were naturally indispensable.
Speaking of this villa, it was after Lei Ting came back last autumn that Lu Zifeng accidentally discovered a hot spring on the mountain. This led Lei Ting to buy the mountain and build a villa there. He had planned to live there for a while during the winter, but it was not completed last winter. Lei Ting came to the door half a month ago and said that the villa was completed. He didn't know who had leaked the information about his villa.
Since we were going to the villa, we decided to take Lu Ziyan and Lu Zimo with us.
Early the next morning, Lu Zifeng took Lu Zimo and Lu Ziyan to the city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw that not only Prince Situ Jin, King of Qin Situ Li, but also Situ Hao, Situ Yi, and Situ Chen were there. Situ Xun was not at home because he had gone hunting in the western suburbs with his friends, otherwise he would have gone there as well.
The group of people were all men, and they did not like to ride in carriages. Instead, they rode horses. Together with the guards, a group of forty or fifty people headed towards the villa in the northern suburbs.
What they didn't know was that not long after they left, another group of people came out of the west gate of the capital and ran towards the north.
After riding for less than half an hour, the group arrived at the farm. Because horses could not be ridden up the mountain, the group had to leave the horses at the farm and walk up the mountain.
"Brother Feng, you have to find a way to build a road. Otherwise, if the elders want to come and take a bath in the hot spring, they probably won't be able to climb the mountain. It doesn't matter to us since we are young."
Lu Zifeng was also considering the proposal of Crown Prince Situ Jin. In fact, he had already picked out a road and sent people to widen it slightly so that carriages could pass through it. However, the workload was still quite large and it was estimated that it would cost at least one thousand and two taels of silver to complete.
"Your Highness is right. I have already made preparations. I hope the road will be open before the New Year. Then the elders can come and soak in the hot spring."
Lu Zifeng and his group walked slowly. Lu Ziyan was a little anxious, so he pulled Lu Zimo and ran forward. Lu Zifeng did not stop them. The second brother was fine, because he was restless. The third brother, Lu Zimo, was calm, but in Lu Zifeng's opinion, he was a little dull and lacked the vitality that a young man should have. So he was happy for Lu Ziyan to take him to have some fun.
It took them half an hour to reach the villa. Lu Chun was already waiting there, along with a group of servants from the farm. They saw Lu Zifeng arrive.
"Sir, these servants are all children of farmers. They have not been taught and are afraid that they can't serve their masters!"
Lu Zifeng understood Lu Chun's meaning, so he looked at the prince and others and said.
"Brothers, these servants we have here are all children from farm families. They are probably difficult to serve well. In my opinion, since we all have servants accompanying us, we can let these children serve outside and let our own servants follow us around!"
Situ Jin waved his hand.
"Let's leave these kids outside! Don't scare the kids, let's go inside!"
As he said this, he glanced at the servant following him, who was actually a eunuch.
"Give them some money."
Lu Zifeng didn't say anything. For those children, today's rewards were considered unexpected wealth.
After asking Lu Chun to take the children away and prepare some things, they went to the various courtyards in the villa.
Lu Zifeng's hot spring villa has more than ten courtyards of various sizes, with both large and small pools, depending on one's own wishes.
Crown Prince Situ Jin naturally had his own pool, so he simply chose a small pool. The rest of the people chose pools according to their own wishes.
Lu Zifeng did not go to the hot spring immediately, but asked Lu Chun to prepare food. This time the wine was Lu family's fruit wine, and fifteen jars were prepared, which should be enough to drink.
The meat was provided by the two men whom Lei Ting left behind to supervise the work. Both of them were skilled in martial arts. After Lu Chun arrived yesterday, they went to the mountains and hunted two deer and a roe deer. Now they didn't have to worry about having enough meat.
After arranging everything, Lu Zifeng hurried back to his room. This was the room Lei Ting specially arranged for Lu Zifeng. The hot spring pool was in the bathroom of the room. He didn't need to go out and could soak in the hot spring here directly.
Lu Zifeng lay in the hot spring pool, exhaled a long breath, and slowly relaxed. Just when he was feeling sleepy, he heard the sound of weapons colliding outside.
Because he was taking a hot spring bath, he did not use his mental power to keep an eye on the outside. Unexpectedly, someone broke in. He used his mental power to look outside.
However, they found that no less than a hundred people were besieging the villa. Because the Crown Prince Situ Jin had arrived, they brought dozens of guards with them, who were now fighting with a group of men in gray.
Lu Zifeng knew that those people would not be able to attack for a while, so he stood up, put on his clothes and walked out. At this time, Prince Situ Jin, Situ Hao and others had also put on their clothes and walked out. They were standing in the yard watching you, their own guard, fighting with those gray-clothed men.
Lu Zifeng actually saw Lu Ziyan also fighting with those gray-clothed men with a big knife. He saw him holding the big knife and moving back and forth, taking the lives of several gray-clothed men in succession. However, he also attracted the attention of the leader of the gray-clothed men.
Lu Zifeng did not remind Lu Ziyan that the leader of the gray-clothed men was approaching him. He wanted to see how alert Lu Ziyan was.
But things went against his wishes. Lu Ziyan didn't notice that the leader of the gray-clothed men was approaching him at all. He was still moving back and forth in the crowd, reaping the lives of the gray-clothed men.
Lu Zifeng watched as the knife of the gray-clothed leader was about to reach Lu Ziyan's neck, then he dodged and directly broke the wrist of the black-clothed leader, and said to Lu Ziyan.
"On the battlefield, you must always be alert to everything around you, otherwise you will lose your life."
After saying that, he grabbed the neck of the leader of the men in black and walked out of the battle circle, throwing him in front of Prince Situ Jin.
