The shouts of killing startled the night.
The screams were deafening!
Huanshui City is a small city on the border of Zhou Kingdom. The city is not big and the population is not large.
The Lu Mansion is located in a prosperous area of the city. Today, the war is going on, and the sound of it can be heard throughout the city.
However...
These days, the Zhou royal family is corrupt and unable to supervise its subordinates, and local officials have long been riddled with corruption.
And among these dynamic organizations that do shady business, which one is not the master of transparent management from top to bottom?
As long as you don't hurt the nobles, you dog bites dog, and you can do whatever you want!
The people in the city seemed to understand this.
Every household locked its doors, pretending nothing happened and just waiting for the dust to settle.
…
Two streets away from Lu Mansion is the private residence of Jade Rakshasa.
The Jade Rakshasa was adopted by Lu Yao when she was young, and she might have been used as a child bride. Unexpectedly, the Jade Rakshasa showed the heroic spirit of a heroine at a young age. After several opportunities, she took the body of a woman. The seventh-level martial artist took the position of the leader of the Tianzi Hall of the Sanxiang Gang.
Since then, Jade Rakshasa has moved out of Lu Zhai and bought a house of his own, but his contact with Lu Mansion and Lu Yao has not been broken.
Today, Jade Rakshasa is entertaining guests at his home.
The guest has a good background and is none other than Yu Qing, the leader of the Renzi Hall of the Sanxiang Gang.
According to seniority, Yu Luosha has to call Yu Qing uncle.
But judging from the atmosphere of the banquet, the uncle and niece's banquet was not so enjoyable.
I don’t know what they talked about before.
Yu Qing just drank with his head down, and Yu Luosha also looked unhappy. If Ah Wu hadn't kept livening up the atmosphere, this banquet would have been embarrassing.
It wasn't until the "main course" was served that the atmosphere finally changed.
This so-called main course is the killing cry coming from outside.
When Cao Ang opened the door of Lu Mansion with a knife, the sound spread to the banquet along the silent night.
Yu Qing, Yu Luosha, and Ah Wu all put down their wine glasses.
They listened with their ears perked up and looked outside with burning eyes.
Soon, the expressions of several people changed.
Ah Wu was the first to leave the table, and soon returned again.
"Cao Ang! Lu Mansion!"
Two words are enough to sum up everything.
But what Ah Wu didn't expect was that the two people who could make the decision and save people remained silent.
Jade Rakshasa's eyes were wandering, while Yu Qing simply closed his eyes.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing and solemn.
Until Yu Qing suddenly laughed.
"Jade Rakshasa, what will you do this time?"
Jade Rakshasa's pupils instantly condensed to the size of a pinhead.
She glanced at Yu Qing, who had returned to silence, and then at Ah Wu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Soon, she spoke, but she brought up a topic that had little to do with tonight's massacre.
"The Sanxiang Gang means a lot to me."
She started with this sentence.
His eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking of the past.
And Yu Qing slowly opened his eyes, looking at Jade Rakshasa much more solemnly than before.
Then I heard Yu Luosha say again: "I was adopted by my adoptive father when I was a child, and I have lived in the Lu Mansion since I was a child... Lu Ming, I also watched him grow up."
"That boy was naughty and mischievous when he was a child. I actually liked him quite a bit when he was a child. But I don't know since when, his temper has become more and more bad-tempered, and he has become more and more indifferent."
"I know that my adoptive father adopted me with the intention of treating me as a child bride, which means that the future Lu Ming will most likely be my husband."
"No woman wants to marry a bastard... so when Lu Ming first showed signs of being a bastard, I told my adoptive father about it."
"Uncle Yu, guess what?"
Yu Qing played with the wine glass, and after a long time he said, "Old Lu, I don't care."
Jade Rakshasa smiled bitterly: "Yes, my adoptive father didn't care... I didn't know why he didn't care at the time..."
Yu Qing suddenly interjected: "At that time, the conflict between us and the Pegasus Gang was quite serious, and there were changes in the smuggling line. The gang was too busy with affairs, and Lao Lu really didn't have time to take care of it."
After Yu Qing finished speaking, Jade Luosha suddenly straightened up his expression: "I don't mean to blame my adoptive father."
Yu Qing: "Yeah."
"I just suddenly understood something at that time."
"The Sanxiang Gang is far more important to my adoptive father than Lu Ming."
Before Yu Qing could speak, Jade Rakshasa had already continued: "You have to understand that my life was given to me by my adoptive father. I was born as my adoptive father's son, and I die as my adoptive father's ghost!"
"My foster father is kind to me! But Lu Ming is not!"
Yu Qing understood what Jade Rakshasa was thinking.
Lu Yao raised Jade Luosha to adulthood.
He is the most important presence in her life.
Now, Lu Yao is dead.
Jade Rakshasa had only one thought left.
"Protect, protect what my adoptive father cherished most during his lifetime."
But the thing he cherishes the most is not Lu Ming, but the Three Phases Gang!
"My foster father has worked hard for the Sanxiang Gang all his life. He regards the Sanxiang Gang as more important than his own life."
"So I will never allow the Sanxiang Gang to collapse!"
Jade Rakshasa was slightly excited, while Yu Qing just silently played with the wine glass in his hand.
It wasn't until Jade Rakshasa calmed down that Yu Qing spoke again.
"Do you really think that in Lao Lu's heart, the Three Phase Gang is more important than Lu Ming?"
"Yes!" Jade Rakshasa responded neatly and without hesitation.
"It must be the Sanxiang Gang?"
Yu Qing asked again.
"It must be the Sanxiang Gang!"
After finishing his conclusive words, Jade Rakshasa looked at Yu Qing with absolute determination.
"So Uncle Yu, I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Support me. Support me to become the leader of the Sanxiang Gang!"
"We, Tianzitang and Renzitang, will work together to take down Lu Ya's Dizitang first. With the combined strength of the three halls, we will be able to defeat the Pegasus Clan!"
"I must keep the Sanxiang Gang firmly in my own hands!"
"I will never allow others to tarnish my adoptive father's lifelong hard work!"
"no way!!"
…
The entire banquet hall echoed with Jade Rakshasa's decisive voice.
Yu Qing remained silent, then suddenly spoke after a long time.
"So you won't care about this tonight, right?"
"Yes." Jade Rakshasa answered without hesitation. After thinking about it, she confirmed her will again: "Yes, I won't care about it, and neither will my Tianzitang."
Ah Wu looked silent.
Instead, Yu Qing smiled slightly, nodded and said: "A wise move."
"Lu Yao has just died, and you are concerned about being the gang leader. Cao Ang takes action tonight. If you, Tianzitang, are the only one to fight, there will be heavy casualties."
"For Lu Ming, I have sacrificed all my men, but won't I be able to protect the Three-phase Gang that Lao Lu cherishes most?"
As he talked, Yu Qing made himself laugh.
I saw him laughing wildly like "hahahaha", making himself laugh so hard that he also made Jade Rakshasa and Ah Wu laugh incomprehensibly.
After a long time, he wiped his tears and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, it's not impossible for me to support you."
"But you must at least show your ability and your awareness."
"What realization?"
Yu Qing smiled slightly.
But he didn't say anything. He just stood up and said, "That's it for today. Let's drink another day."
