The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant and dead silent.
In the concierge, Lu Ming stood with a sword in hand, and Wei Yuan fell at his feet.
Outside the gatehouse, the soldiers lined up with their swords unsheathed, looking murderous. Even the street directly opposite the concierge had been cleared by the soldiers long ago. The whole street was empty and there was no one in sight.
In silence, Lu Ming suddenly looked back and looked at Li Tongfang.
He looked like a ghost, his neck twisted nearly 120 degrees in an instant!
This shocked Li Tongfang.
And the next second, a voice sounded that made Li Tongfang's heart tremble.
"What did you say?"
"Do it?"
"To whom?"
"How do you want to do it?"
The dark and deep eyes were unblinking, and the ferocious ferocity revealed in them made Li Tong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Until a rough voice sounded from Lu Ming's feet.
"Brother Li...cough cough cough, Brother Li has no ill intentions."
While talking, Wei Yuan got up from the ground.
He was covering his broken arm, his face was pale, and he was clearly affected by Lu Ming's blood.
Slowly moving to sit on the chair, Wei Yuan sighed deeply, then looked at Lu Ming with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
"Young Master Lu's skills are inferior to me."
Lu Ming didn't say anything, then listened to Wei Yuan continue: "And now, I have lost my knife-wielding hand, plus the internal injuries are serious, I will have to recuperate for a month at least..."
"This time, Young Master Lu should be satisfied."
Lu Ming suddenly smiled, but the darkness in his eyes did not fade away at all.
He nodded: "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. Uncle Wei has superb swordsmanship, and Lu Ming admires him very much."
After saying that, he strode out of the city lord's mansion.
This trip, the purpose was achieved.
There are currently four sixth-grade people in Xuanshui City.
Lu Ming, Wei Yuan, Ma and his son.
The Ma family and his son were mortal enemies, and their hatred was inextricable.
This Wei Yuan has become the biggest variable in Xuanshui City.
Lu Ming doesn't need to win over Wei Yuan... He doesn't have much capital to win over Wei Yuan.
But at least, he must ensure that Wei Yuan will not become his enemy... At least in the past few days, Wei Yuan cannot become his enemy.
Otherwise, it will be three against one, which is difficult to defeat.
At this moment, Wei Yuan's arm was broken and his blood entered his body...
This is enough for him to drink a pot.
I came here today and solved this variable. Lu Ming's injury was not serious, which was a good result.
However, when Lu Ming had just reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Tongfang's voice sounded behind him again.
"My dear nephew, please stay!"
Lu Ming kept walking.
It was Wei Yuan who spoke out: "Old Li took the initiative and blocked the news of the Zhang family's destruction."
Lu Ming stopped, turned around, and looked at Li Tongfang.
Then Li Tongfang sighed in a low voice, and the next second, a smile appeared on his face.
"When my nephew came back from this trip, he didn't tell anyone else, right?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and said nothing, then listened to Li Tongfang continue: "Not only did I block the news of the Zhang family's destruction, I also didn't let my daughter give gifts to Lu Ya."
"It's not that I don't want to show my respect to my nephew, it's just that I reviewed the recent events in Xuanshui City and found that if my nephew really wants to fight and steal... it would be a better choice to hide the news of your return."
The blackness in Lu Ming's eyes slowly faded.
After thinking about it, he didn't leave in a hurry.
After pacing and sitting back on the chair next to Wei Yuan, Lu Ming smiled at Li Tongfang with a kind smile: "I wonder what Uncle Li said?"
Li Tongfang also smiled gently: "It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows, my dear nephew... You achieved the sixth level at a ridiculously fast speed. At least in our Xuanshui City, no one expected that you could achieve the sixth level in a month." Come back with the strength."
"It's a pity not to use this advantage... You have to know that Ma Nengwu and Ma Yuanba's father and son... Tsk tsk, the Ma family is not weak. That Ma Yuanba achieved the sixth level a month ago and is still hiding it now. Obviously I also have a different thought."
The fact that Ma Yuanba achieved the sixth rank cannot be hidden from the "big shots", such as Duanmu Qing and Li Tongfang.
But people at lower levels really don't know anything about this - some people think that the Pegasus Gang only has a sixth-grade Ma Nengwu.
Li Tongfang continued: "After my daughter came back yesterday, I sent someone to inquire about her."
"You basically silenced the people who knew about it, and after hearing this, Lu went to the Zhang Mansion, no, the Lu Mansion, and didn't tell Lu Ya. Instead, he made his own decisions."
This Lu Ting... is still as good as ever.
"So now, except for us, no one in the entire Xuanshui City knows that you are back, and no one knows that you have reached the sixth level."
After saying this, Li Tongfang stopped talking and gave Lu Ming some space to think and digest.
Until the evil spirit between Lu Ming's brows dissipated, Li Tongfang struck while the iron was hot and said the last words.
"My dear nephew, it's not bad to move forward bravely, but it's easy to break if you go too far... This game is one-on-two. If you have an advantage, you have to use it."
Lu Ming thought thoughtfully and said: "Uncle Li, to be honest, I captured Lu Ting and wanted to give Lu Ting's arm to Lu Ya, just to blackmail Lu Ya and let him win in this game. Use some force..."
Li Tongfang took a few steps forward and came to Lu Ming.
He didn't care about the distance. Lu Ming could kill him with one slap. While holding the teapot and pouring a cup of tea for Lu Ming, he warned, "My dear nephew, please don't underestimate Lu Ya's viciousness."
"This man is insidious and cunning, but he is very good at appearances. His appearance of being a loving father and a filial son is actually an act. Lu Ting himself is inexperienced, and Lu Ya is less than forty this year. He can have another child. Just a Lu I heard you want to take advantage of Lu Ya, but this is an easy thing to think about."
Lu Ming lowered his eyebrows and nodded gently: "It makes sense."
"So, rather than exposing the news of your return in order to win over Lu Ya, it is better to lock the news and catch the opponent by surprise."
Lu Ming came back alone this time, with only a dozen or so people like Yu Qing to help him. It was undoubtedly a fool's errand to block the news of the Zhang family's destruction.
But it was necessary to destroy the entire Zhang family... because Zhang Yihe's head was the bait for Wei Yuan.
The seventh level of peak strength is just right. If he is weak, there is no guarantee that he can fish out Wei Yuan. The Zhang family also robbed the Lu family's house... If he doesn't die, who will die?
Originally, this matter should be incomprehensible to Lu Ming... Lu Ming did not make any calculations in this regard.
But Li Tongfang was really experienced, so he took care of this matter in advance.
Looking up at the smiling Li Tongfang, Lu Ming could not help but say, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Easy to do."
To him, this matter is just a matter of effort and a casual order.
And it was this little effort that saved Li Tongfang and his Li family from a catastrophic disaster.
Lu Ming's smile became even brighter, and his expression was as gentle and elegant as a handsome young man.
"Uncle Li, your level is a bit underwhelming in Xuanshui City..."
When the situation of the Sanxiang Gang was in bad shape, he could bring Lu Ting and Li Shanshan together to share the corpse of the Sanxiang Gang.
You can also do a small favor when you just learned that Lu Ming has reached the sixth level.
If nothing else, this adaptability is quite good.
Li Tongfang waved his hand modestly: "Where is it?"
"Okay, Uncle Li, wait until things are settled here before I come to visit you formally. Next time, Uncle Li, you have to prepare some good wine and food."
"sure."
"Then nephew, I'll take my leave now."
"Send you off in a short distance, my dear nephew, walk slowly."
"Uncle Wei, I have offended you so much today. I will punish myself with three cups of wine next time we meet."
"Haha! Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"
Turn around, pick up the sword and walk away quickly.
The two city lords behind him were smiling.
Until Lu Ming walked away, Wei Yuan sighed deeply.
"He is wise in his madness and has no intention of breaking up with us."
"But if you push him hard, I can't protect you."
Li Tongfang also inhaled and nodded slightly: "I don't understand that you warriors are fighting each other, but it almost caused a disaster..."
Wei Yuan's voice next to him spoke again: "This Lu Ming is not simple, but the Ma family and his son are both in the sixth grade, so they are not easy to deal with either."
"I don't know what the situation in Xuanshui City will be like after this round."
Li Tongfang suddenly snorted coldly.
"What does it have to do with us what it becomes?"
The city of Xuanshui is turbulent and turbulent.
But the city's main palace has always stood firm.
It is clear who is in the game and who is more detached.
