Facts have proved that Lu Yuan's happiness did not last forever.
Life is always going to be unsatisfactory at times.
After returning from the county town, all life was originally peaceful, just like before, and the world seemed to be peaceful forever.
But this peaceful life only lasted for two months before it was suddenly broken.
"Business has been hard lately."
"Isn't that right? Nowadays, there are more Jianghu people everywhere. They fight with others everywhere, and some even become gangsters. I am worried about my life even when I leave the city. How can I dare to do business? "
"Why are there so many people in the martial arts world? Is there something big happening in the martial arts world?"
"The current situation feels similar to the time when the Black Bandits broke out two years ago. Our Luling Mansion won't be in chaos again, right?"
"Shhh... don't talk nonsense, what nonsense? We in Luling Mansion are very ordinary, and every day is getting better and better, so don't say anything unlucky."
At noon, Lu Yuan came to the tavern as usual, and as expected, several businessmen in the tavern were lamenting the hardships of these days.
Since half a month ago, Luling Mansion, which had only been stable for two years, has been in trouble again.
For some unknown reason, many people from other places began to flock to Luling Mansion.
I don’t know the origin of these people. They are all very fierce and they don’t seem to be dealing with each other. Many people start fighting after meeting, and it’s the kind of life and death kind.
With such a large group of Jianghu people gathering and frequent private fights, it is no surprise that the security of Luling Mansion has deteriorated drastically.
Even here in Yangmei Town, Lu Yuan was practicing palm skills in Meilin outside the town two days ago, and he bumped into a passing martial artist.
Fortunately, he discovered it early, took action in time, and hid it, so no one noticed it.
It was also from that time that Lu Yuan deeply realized what the concept of "there were too many people in the world" as mentioned by those merchants.
This also caused him to never dare to go out to practice Kung Fu in the following days. He could only stay at home, unable to go out for air.
In fact, if there are just more martial arts warriors, that's it.
Lu Yuan had experienced the Black Wind Bandit Rebellion before, so he had some experience. He knew that if he survived this period, he would be fine.
But what happened next in Luling Mansion was a little unsettling.
I don’t know why, but when a large number of martial arts warriors from other places gathered in Luling Mansion, the local Jianghu forces in Luling Mansion also began to gather.
It was like there was going to be a big war.
Gangs from all over Luling Prefecture are desperately trying to gather their manpower and mobilize, looking like they are fighting to the death.
As far as Lu Yuan knew.
The two peripheral gang members of the Black Wolf Gang in Yangmei Town, who usually did some odd jobs as coolies, were called back by the gang at this time, and they were asked to bring swords. This was outrageous.
In order to gather strength, even coolies are not spared. If you say that nothing happened in Luling Mansion, you will not believe it even if you beat him to death.
"With this impending storm, I always feel like something big is going to happen in Luling Mansion.
But all the local gangs and martial arts warriors who came here were either kept in the dark, or they were too strict with their mouths and did not let out any news at all.
It makes people want to hide in advance and they don't know what preparations to make. "
Lu Yuan frowned when he thought of the current atmosphere.
He hates turmoil.
And now the environment of Luling Mansion has made Lu Yuan start to wonder whether this is a livable place?
It had only been two years since the Black Wind Pirates rebellion last time, and it was starting to become chaotic again.
It feels like there is some kind of magic in Luling Mansion, attracting all kinds of monsters and ghosts to come and make a mess here.
"Lets see."
Lu Yuan sighed tiredly.
If this was not half of his hometown and he had established a firm foothold here, he might still be in danger if he changed to a strange environment.
He must have run away from such a shabby place.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan stayed at home on weekdays, so no matter how turbulent the outside world was, it would not affect his practice.
Although Yangmei Town is a bit poor, it is not all shortcomings. It is an advantage right now.
In such a remote place, no matter how chaotic it is outside, it will basically not be affected here.
The last Black Wind Bandits rebellion was fierce enough.
But looking at the whole chaos, not a single bandit came to Yangmei Town in the end. This is a proven safety.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had some confidence in staying in the town.
…
After staying in the town for a few more days, Lu Yuan, in addition to practicing martial arts, also spent more energy on paying attention to things outside.
The time spent in the tavern on weekdays is a bit longer.
In this way, he really gained something.
In the tavern, Lu Yuan and the other diners were silent at this time. The huge hall was devoid of the usual noise and became extremely quiet.
And in the center of the lobby, on a table, a passing fortune teller took a sip of tea at this time, cleared his throat, and said Youyou: "I think you all have heard of the [Eagle King] event two years ago. A duel with [Iron Sword], right?"
"Of course I know that in that battle, Master Mo showed his might and beat away the [Eagle King] with one sword, winning the duel." Next to him, Mr. Sun, the landlord in the town, said in support.
"Hehe... you win?" The fortune teller laughed twice, and then said with a hint of sarcasm: "This is just the rhetoric of laymen like you."
After saying that, he saw several people in the hall who were a little stunned, and then said: "The battle that day was nominally a duel between Fang Tianying and Mo Baichuan, but in fact, Mo Baichuan brought helpers, it was our Lu Shao Desheng, the headquarters of the Mausoleum.
These two figures are both top-notch masters in the arena. But the two of them working together could only stand on a tie with Fang Tianying.
If it weren't for the people from the Iron Sword Sect and the government who surrounded him, they would have swarmed Fang Tianying away.
The outcome of this duel is still unclear. Who is the winner? "
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar when they heard this.
Even Lu Yuan looked surprised.
Because the news told by this fortune teller was so different from what they had heard in the past. It could even be said to be two extremes.
This makes people wonder, is what this fortune teller said true or false?
And when he said this and slandered Mo Baichuan like this, could it be that he had a grudge against the Iron Sword Sect?
"Dare to slander Mo Baichuan, the leader of the Iron Sword Sect, so openly and openly on the territory of the Iron Sword Sect? This fortune teller must be too bold. Are you really not afraid of the Iron Sword Sect's revenge?"
The entire Luling Mansion can be said to be the territory of Iron Sword Sect.
In this land, the Iron Sword Sect not only has tentacles everywhere, but at least its ears and eyes reach everywhere.
Even in a remote place like Yangmei Town, there are peripheral forces from the Iron Sword Sect and members of the Black Wolf Gang.
The great influence of Iron Sword Sect in Luling Mansion can be seen clearly.
This fortune teller dares to speak ill of the head of the Iron Sword Sect here. He is no longer courageous. It can be said that he is risking his life.
