There were more than a dozen disciples in the Ministry of Official Affairs, including three of the second rank. There was originally Shen Yunfeng, but unfortunately he was tricked and killed by Zhang Ling inexplicably. However, except for Han Yan, Lu Hongyan was lukewarm. Even if he If he wants to leave, he will never stay, so on this day, one of the second-grade diners suddenly asked Ying to kill an innkeeper who might know the Lu family's plan. In fact, this was the third time in this month that this diner took the initiative to ask him Lu Hongyan was not surprised that he was getting farther and farther away from Jinyu City every time. He just thought that this guest felt that he had neglected him and wanted to prove his ability. Lu Hongyan just waved his hand and let him go.
Heading south outside Jinyu City, we walked for more than a hundred miles and passed two villages. We stopped at an inn where there was a steady stream of people coming and going and the business was still booming. The old banyan tree in the yard outside the house was withered and yellow, and fallen leaves fell from time to time. The scenery was unique, and everyone Seeing everyone's mood, he ordered a pot of tea and sat in the room until dark, staring at the old banyan tree, thinking that after killing this person, he could leave. When he heard Lu Shangshu talk about the martial arts performance in the palace a few months ago, the introduction of the appearance of two of them made him shudder. Although he didn't know whether they were those two people, he would rather believe that they existed than not. Of course, if those two people are really those, if one of them reaches the first level, he might come to seek revenge on him. Even if it is not a deep hatred, but with his cautious character who has been walking in the world for many years, he must be in a reasonable place. Time flies away.
The innkeeper stood in front of the counter all day long, eating and drinking well, and naturally developed a fat ring. He looked at the sky outside the house with his round eyes getting darker and darker, until there was no daylight, and there were no guests coming and going to the hotel. , there is only this one weird guest who sits there all day long. He is purely a visitor. Even if he is a beggar, he will never shout and drive him away. He will always find a corner seat and will not be ignored. He will also He was given a free bowl of drinks, so the inn had a good reputation and business was booming. However, it was not a problem to see such a guest sitting there all the time. The innkeeper carefully walked to his table, lowered his head and said, "Sir, our shop is closing. , if you have nothing to do, you can go home. If the road is far away, stay in our store. If you don't have enough money, you can get it on credit. If you really have no money and nowhere to go, just stay and work in our store. , the custody provided food, shelter, and wages.”
The doorman Lu Xun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a little. He suddenly put the knife placed under the table across the table, which frightened the innkeeper so much that he backed away continuously and bumped into the counter. His legs were slightly bent, but he couldn't help but smile. He stopped trembling, finally stood firm, and said in horror: "Sir, what are you doing? I never remember offending you! If you are short of silver, you can discuss it with me. Why do you do such a forbidden thing? If How can you leave safely when people are killed here?"
Lu Xun tapped the scabbard with two fingers. The sound sounded like a good knife. Lu Xun slowly stood up and walked towards the innkeeper. The boss was so frightened that he hid behind the counter again and sighed softly. He didn't know whether it was because he was sad for the death of a rabbit or because he was sincere. Xun said regretfully: "I passed by here not long ago. Your inn is nice and your people are considerate. At that time, I was addicted to alcohol and I didn't bring enough silver. You even gave me a pot. Unfortunately, since then, From now on, travelers will have fewer good places to return to."
The innkeeper's voice fell halfway down his throat, and even the guest upstairs did not disturb him. There was only a blush on his neck, and he slid down the counter. Lu Xun turned around with an unbearable expression, and said something that was both grand and generous. Renyi's words: "I'll give you a pleasant treat, just as repayment for the gift of wine."
Lu Xun walked out of the door of the inn, and as soon as he touched the reins of the horse, he noticed a sudden movement. Two unfamiliar faces came rushing toward him on horseback. Lu Xun calmly said to the visitor: "The store is full, and you two are also here." Leave."
The two uninvited guests showed their presence. Lu Xun felt the hostility between the two, frowned, and said in confusion: "Are you two here to seek revenge? Don't you remember that Lu has offended you two? If there is any misunderstanding, please dismount and explain."
The two people on the horse really dismounted, but they did not mean to explain. Instead, they tore at the lower jaw of the face, really tearing off two "faces". Lu Xun looked at the unfamiliar face that suddenly became familiar, and suddenly realized, but still not He changed his expression calmly: "Then you found the wrong person."
The visitors were Zhang Ling and Zhang Ling who had secretly threatened to kill people. Just to cover up others' deception, they asked Wu Zhi for two human skin masks before leaving. Zhang Ling led the horse to Song Linjie to tie it up, and began to speak word by word. Lu Xun's charges: "Wan Ruyi, the magistrate of Jiu'an County, Li Yu, the magistrate of Leyue County, Ma Ye, the magistrate of Kuchu County, and some insignificant officials, large and small, have a total of sixteen fruitless or false murder cases. You killed these people, but coming to kill you tonight has nothing to do with whether you have committed a heinous crime or not. You killed two bandits in Mangniu Mountain. I don’t want to avenge them, but I agreed to one of them and I will teach him some lessons afterwards. Skill moves, he is dead, so I came to kill you instead. Oh, by the way, there is also your young master. I will also let him go down to accompany you. If Lu Shangshu doesn't know what is good, I don't mind letting him go too. You two can be companions.”
After hearing what Zhang Ling said, Lu Xun took a breath of air and asked softly: "How do you know about something that the court has not found out?"
Zhang Ling sneered: "Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you?"
Lu Xun threw away the reins and said calmly: "If you want to kill me, you must let me die."
Zhang Ling said: "I don't think you want to be captured without mercy? Don't even think about delaying time. If I dare to kill you, I will naturally guarantee that there is absolutely no possibility of you escaping."
Lu Xun took a step back and said tentatively: "I see that the Qi you have just shown is only a second-grade or a third-grade. Do you really think you are a genius? You disciples in a large sect are just empty-handed." Realm, the killing methods in Jianghu are really shallow, if not possible, you have to leave your life here."
Zhang Ling's pupils turned into red gold, and he could see the small movements made by Lu Xun in detail. He seemed calm at this moment, and it could be seen from the fact that his simple sword naturally caught the light, and he already had the intention of risking his life. Zhang Ling said calmly: "I said After that, you have no chance of survival. If you had started running away a few months ago, I would still have come, but I would just call two more people. Now that only the two of me come, we are guaranteed to be successful enough."
Lu Xun drew his knife and rushed forward, snorting coldly: "I want to see if you are capable of killing me."
Zhang Ling tiptoed and retreated, leaving only a brief and strange afterimage. Lu Xun was about to follow, but was cut off by Song Linjie who came out of the blue and slashed him with the Heavenly Forging Sword, forcing Lu Xun back.
Zhang Ling, who was already far away from the thunder pool, then said: "It's not that I have the ability to kill you, it's just him."
