Fortunately, he has experienced too many hardships over the years and has seen through too many things. When the numbness caused by the inability to change the status quo appeared, his heart gradually became less uncomfortable.
A gust of breeze blew over his face, and Lu Yunyou, who was full of exhaustion, suddenly became more awake. After walking slowly to a willow tree by the river, Lu Yunyou stopped and wanted to reach out and touch the branches and leaves above, but he didn't know when a leaf had already fallen from him. The palm fell.
Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye it was another autumn. Time was wasted, and the years were silent. As he sighed, a sense of desolation arose in his heart. When he looked up again at the yellow leaves on the tree, he held the hand in his hand. The movement stopped unconsciously, and he stood quietly next to the willow tree, looking ahead gloomily, not knowing what he was thinking.
Perhaps looking at the entire Tianhuang Continent, there are many people who are unable to practice like him, but he is the only one in Wuyang City. In such a place where fame and wealth are pursued, it is extremely difficult for him to survive until now, especially since he was born in In a big family like the Lu family.
As the largest family in Wuyang City, the Lu family would not allow such a situation to corrupt the family tradition. If his father had not contributed to the Lu family during his lifetime, he might have been kicked out of the family long ago. Once he left the Lu family, he would definitely Living on the streets is as pitiful as those refugees.
The Lu family has sheltered him for more than 20 years, and the people of the Lu family have bullied him for more than ten years. Many times, he will think about whether being born in the Lu family is a blessing or a misfortune, but no matter what the answer is, he will push it to one In the end, leaving the Lu family was the best choice. It was time for him to let go of the illusion that one day he could change his destiny.
While Lu Yunyou was thinking about whether he should leave the Lu family as soon as possible, a large number of martial arts cultivators gathered in a place dozens of miles west of Wuyang City. They were a group of bandits who were roaming around and committing evil deeds. In the center of where these bandits gathered There is a camp, and people inside are plotting major events related to the Lu family's life and death.
"Chief Jin, our Wang family is fully prepared. Tomorrow and night we will unite with the Zhou and Song families in the city to encircle and suppress the Lu family. We hope that before nightfall today, Chief Jin can lead all his tribesmen to Dongting Mountain to ambush. If there are any members of the Lu family by then, If you escape from the east gate, you must kill them all." As the second elder of the Wang family in Wuyang City, Wang Shen came specifically to see this group of bandits to confirm the encirclement and suppression of the Lu family.
A few days ago, Jin Daneng, the leader of this group of bandits, came to the Wang family with a heavy gift, hoping that the Wang family could free up a place in the west area of the city for their people to settle in. They have accumulated enough wealth after traveling around for many years, and now they just want to get rid of it. That identity that everyone hates.
When Jin Daneng explained his intention, Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family at that time, was not surprised because similar things were very common in the Chaotic Ridge area. The Song family in the south of the city was formerly a group of bandits, and now they have long since washed away their past and become a group of bandits. A giant.
So after carefully understanding the size of the bandit group and the strength of the top personnel, Wang Yan directly negotiated terms with the bandit leader Jin Daneng. The final result was that the Wang family could help them settle in Wuyang City. In return, Jin Daneng Da Neng will lead all his tribesmen to become affiliated forces of the Wang family and serve the Wang family in the future.
Regarding the conditions put forward by Wang Yan, Jin Daneng did not refuse on the spot. After considering it for a few days, he chose to agree. After that, the two parties formally reached a master-subordinate relationship. This kind of relationship is very common in Wuyang City. There are four major families in the city. Some affiliated forces.
It is worth mentioning that after reaching a cooperative relationship with that group of bandits, Wang Yan, who had long wanted to overthrow the Lu family and replace him, directly made up his mind to eradicate the Lu family. After that, he started to cooperate with the Zhou and Song families. At present, The three families have secretly confirmed their alliance, and tomorrow night they will work together to surround and suppress the Lu family.
The purpose of Wang Shen coming here today was to confirm the plan, so as soon as he arrived, accompanied by the bandit leader Jin Daneng, he patrolled the bandit camp. After confirming that the overall strength of the bandits was within his expectations, he State the purpose of coming here directly.
"Second Elder Youlao came here to deliver the news in person." After being polite to Wang Shen, the man known as Leader Jin replied seriously: "Second Elder, don't worry, tonight Jin will lead all his subordinates to take a detour to the east." Tingshan will definitely ambush on Dongtingshan before nightfall tomorrow."
"That's very good. Leaders Lao Jin and Wang will help us in this round of siege of the Lu family. After the event is completed, Wang will guarantee that there will be a place for both of you in Wuyang City." With that, Wang Shen said to the other bandit leader Looking over, like Jin Daneng, the bandit leader named Wang Qiankun was also at the mid-seventh level.
"It is our honor to submit to the Wang family. In the future, we will do our best to assist the Wang family in our great cause. We also hope that the Wang family will not despise us for our low abilities." Meeting Wang Shen's gaze, Wang Qiankun behaved very humbly and looked very energetic. The gesture of flattering the other party.
"Of course." From beginning to end, Wang Shen was very satisfied with the attitude of the two bandit leaders. Now his purpose of coming here had been achieved. In order to prevent the Lu family from getting suspicious about his failure to attend the martial arts competition, he stood up and asked Jin The two powerful men said goodbye: "Two leaders, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here any longer today."
"Second Elder, go slowly." Seeing that Wang Shen was about to go back, Jin Daneng and Wang Qiankun immediately got up and saw each other off until they arrived at the camp where Wang Shen left them. The two of them slowly stopped smiling and then became expressionless. He returned to the tent where he originally received Wang Shen.
"Hmph, the little Wang family is so self-righteous," Jin Daneng and the other two had just returned to the camp when a late seventh-level martial artist walked in directly from the side door of the camp.
"See you, Sir." As soon as they saw the person, Jin Daneng and Wang Qiankun, who had just sat down, immediately stood up to greet him.
"Two deputy chiefs, you did a good job just now," he said with a smile and motioned to the two of them not to be formal. The late seventh-level martial artist walked directly to the main seat and sat down.
"Thank you, Chief. We just did our jobs well." The humility they showed in front of Wang Shen just now was all faked by them. Now in front of the visitor, Jin Daneng and the two are truly humble, because they are the visitors. The leader above is Zheng Qianjin, and the two of them are actually only deputy leaders.
"Let the brothers prepare. We will set off overnight tonight and must arrive at Dongting Mountain before dawn tomorrow." Nodding, the real bandit leader Zheng Qianjin told the two of them: "During the march tonight, no mistakes can be made. "
"I understand." After agreeing with Wang Qiankun, Jin Daneng's face softened, and he looked at their leader cautiously and asked, "I have a question. Can I ask the leader for advice?"
"It doesn't hurt to just say it."
"Not to mention the Wang family, even the Lu family in Wuyang City is just an ant in our eyes and can be crushed at will. Why does the commander-in-chief go to such great lengths to use tactics to deal with the Lu family and ask us to cooperate with the Wang family?" Having been confused about this for a long time, Jin Daneng directly expressed his doubts when given the opportunity.
"Deputy Chief Jin, there are some things that are beyond our control. Zheng advises you to keep the problem in your mind and not mention it to anyone again," the bandit leader Zheng Qianjin, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression. After receiving Jin Daneng's thoughtful look, he said no more.
"Subordinates, please remember the leader's instructions." Their leader's attitude alone was enough to explain everything. After realizing how arrogant his behavior was, Jin Daneng was immediately frightened and did not dare to say another word.
"There can be no mistakes in the encirclement and suppression of the Lu family. Let me inform the brothers that anyone who leaves the camp without permission in the recent days will be killed." After giving the final instructions to the two of them, Zheng Qianjin closed his eyes and rested.
"I understand," the next moment, after unanimously agreeing, Jin Daneng and Wang Qiankun left the camp directly to deal with the matters assigned by their leader.
In fact, Jin Daneng and the others are only part of the real bandit gang, and a very small part at that. Their duty is only to cooperate with the Wang family to complete the task of encircling and suppressing the Lu family. As for the task of encircling and suppressing Wuyang City, another group of bandits with a larger number of people is responsible for the task. The team is responsible.
At present, the Lu family knows nothing about the existence of this group of bandits, and the Wang family knows nothing about the true purpose of this group of bandits. The two families that have been fighting openly and secretly are actually kept in the dark.
Putting aside the Wang family's conspiracy against the Lu family, Lu Yunyou, who was worried, had been walking along the river bank for a long time. He thought about many things along the way, the most important of which was the agreement between him and Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi is the girl from the brothel that Song Miao said he saved before. It is somewhat different from what Song Miao said before. Lin Ruoxi is not really a girl from the brothel because she was rescued by him before she even stepped into the brothel.
One morning three years ago, he and Lu Yi went to rescue the refugees as usual, but on the way they met Lin Ruoxi, who was about to be sold to a brothel by her father. At that time, Lin Ruoxi cried and begged her father to take her back, but her father did not want to take her back. Listen, when he saw this, he couldn't bear it, so he paid for Lin Ruoxi to be redeemed from the old bustard.
After getting along day and night, that girl has now become his confidante and one of the people he cares about most.
It is worth mentioning that selling girls from poor families is very common in the Beiling area. Because of the lack of resources in Chaos Ridge, most families will choose boys to train them. Many women are not even qualified to become martial arts practitioners unless their families are wealthy.
He was able to save Lin Ruoxi completely by chance. Later, he and Lin Ruoxi fell in love more like two people in the same situation relying on each other. Of course, they did have feelings after getting along day and night.
Three days ago, he and Lin Ruoxi made an agreement, an agreement that was related to their lifelong happiness. Today was already the second day, but until now, he still had no clue. He was afraid that the last day would be the same. to the answer.
In fact, no matter what the outcome of this martial arts tournament is, he will not be able to marry Lin Ruoxi into the Lu family, unless he moves out to live with Lin Ruoxi, but then he will completely lose the support of the Lu family, and their lives will become extremely difficult. It was difficult, he couldn't expect Lu Yi to work hard all his life to support him and Lin Ruoxi.
