CHAPTER XVI

"It's okay, fortunately, this period of time is targeted to nourish yin, this second layer is the highest level of Jade Crane Gong, ordinary people need five years, I shortened the five years to such a short time, naturally it is much heavier than the previous entry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

He carefully felt the state of his body in his heart.

Although weak, it is much better than before.

It seems that his recuperation during this period of time is indeed effective.

Call....

Take a long breath.

Lu Sheng felt that the circle of internal qi between his chest and abdomen had changed from a single air flow the thickness of chopsticks to a full nine.

Together, the nine aircurrents are much thicker than the previous ones.

When Jade Crane Gong reached the second layer, he obviously felt different from the previous one.

Lu Sheng breathed in and out, feeling full of energy, and his reaction was much faster than usual.

"According to the records of the second layer of Jade Crane Gong, there should be longevity and rapid hemostasis. ā€

"Let's try it tomorrow to see the effect. Contact the lower Duan Mu Wan to see if you can get new internal skills from her. ā€

Since the Jade Crane Gong is true, then the rest of the internal skills may also be true. He wanted to see how a few internal skills would react when they were cultivated together.

It stands to reason that as long as the internal power is not a type of conflict in nature, it can be fused.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng lay down again to rest.

As soon as he lay down, he heard faint footsteps outside the courtyard, as if someone was moving away.

Listen to the rhythm, which is very similar to the sound of the road walking gently.

Lu Sheng shook his head and ignored it, during this time, Lu Qing went out for a walk in the middle of the night almost every three or five days.

I don't know what clues were found.

At first, he followed the road carefully, but found that his footwork was far less than the light of the road, and he lost it in a few strokes, and then he no longer wasted his strength.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Sheng took the prepared silver ticket and went straight to the Wanfu Inn where Duanmuwan lived.

"What? checked out?"

Lu Sheng stared at the innkeeper and frowned.

"When?"

"About half a month ago, Miss Duanmu was invited by several sons to go out of the city to visit the Red Lotus Temple, and then sent someone back to say that she had checked out. ā€

The shopkeeper is also very attentive to Duanmu Wan.

After all, this one was born beautiful, and there were many sons and brothers who came to pursue her, and she spent lavishly on her own, so she naturally impressed him.

"Red Lotus Temple...."

Lu Sheng frowned.

He intuitively felt that Duanmu Wan should not be in the Red Lotus Temple.

Checking out abruptly is just an excuse.

"Forget it. ā€

He walked out of the inn with his folding fan in hand, and two guards waited outside the door.

"Childe, how is it? Have you found Miss Duanmu?" The guard Komatsu has a very close relationship with Lu Sheng on weekdays, and he is also the person who cleans the venue for Lu Sheng when he is practicing martial arts, and occasionally has to go to the field to practice. Martial arts are okay.

"No, she's gone. Lu Sheng shook his head.

"So where are we going now?"

"Where are you going? ā€

I can't find Lu Sheng's cheats, and I'm a little unhappy.

The three of them got into the carriage and hurried all the way back to the mansion, but when they arrived in front of the mansion, they saw that a yellow carriage had stopped at the gate.

The side of the carriage was greatly engraved with a letter.

"Zhang's family?"

Lu Sheng's expression moved, the Zhang family had been killed for so long, and finally came to the door.

He was not afraid, let Komatsu and a few people leave, and walked into the door alone.

Looking in from the gate, I could just see that in the lobby, Lu Quan'an was accompanied by a martial artist, greeting the person from the Zhang family.

The Zhang family came alone.

With thick eyebrows and fine eyes, he is a man about thirty years old.

ā€œ...... How could my son do such a thing, the Zhang family must have seen it wrong!" Lu Quanan sat on the main seat, his face calm.

"There were a lot of people who saw it with their own eyes!

The man's chest was hot with rage.

"I don't care how powerful your Zhang family is in Zihua City, this is Jiulian City, not your Zihua!

Your Zhang family is powerful, and my Lu family is not a vegetarian! If you frame my son again, don't blame me for being rude to Lu Quan'an!"

Lu Quanan shouted coldly.

The man trembled with rage.

Pointing to the road, Quan'an could no longer speak.

"Okay, good!!The head of the Lu family is so courageous. In the next must be untouched, the original words are relayed to the head of the Songxi family!Farewell!!"

He turned and strode toward the gate.

Lu Sheng met him halfway down, and this person didn't know Lu Sheng, so he still walked out angrily.

Lu Sheng is not surprised, now the Great Song Dynasty is weak, and all parts are divided, not to mention that this is far away in the north, and the city lord and local forces are the overlords of the earth.

is the Central Plains, and most of the people like the Lu family have also violated the yang and yin, and there have been a lot of troubles.

This Zhang family thought that they were in Zihua City, but they actually came to the door to ask the master for the crime.

The man passed by Lu Sheng, got into the carriage and left.

Lu Sheng walked into the lobby and saw his father Lu Quanan sitting on a chair with a stunned face.

"Dad, are things done?"

He whispered, motioning for the guards around him to walk away, and he and Daddy spoke alone.

Lu Quanan sighed, and when he saw that it was Lu Sheng, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

"Xiaosheng, your sister's side, you have to take care of her more, don't let her hang around in the city all the time. ā€

"I can't control her. Lu Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Dad, did you find what we were looking for?

"It could be something, it could be people. I can't tell!"

Lu Quanan shook his head and lowered his voice.

"Now the prefect has a headache for the Xu family's case and the well throwing case in Wangjiazhuang outside the city. Especially in the case of throwing into the well, so many heads can't find clues, what can your sister do alone? ā€

"Did she go to investigate the case of Wangjiazhuang?" Lu Sheng was stunned.

"Don't you know? The head catcher of the yamen also saw the girl in Wangjiazhuang. She would arrest two wanted criminals or suspects and send them to the yamen at the end of three days. Everyone in the yamen is about to know her. ā€

Lu Quanan said helplessly.

"That's it...."Lu Sheng frowned. "I've been busy collecting martial arts lately, and I haven't had time to take care of her. ā€

"Collect martial arts... Your expenses are already close to 5,000 taels, what are the results?" Lu Quan'an asked casually.

"I have collected a few doors, and I will sort out the booklets I get, and make a scripture collection building at home, so that it is convenient for our Lu family to cultivate good hands in the future. ā€

Lu Sheng said seriously.

"What you think, I can probably guess something, it's a troubled time now, and it's not enough for us to rely on these dozens of people at home. It is also necessary to cultivate more masters who belong to our Lu family. This is also the reason why I have spared no effort to support you after hearing that you have collected martial arts. ā€

Lu Quanan said seriously.

"There are a total of eighty-six guards in the family who can be transferred at any time, but because they have to guard the mansion, there are only about forty people who can really be transferred. ā€

Lu Sheng calculated.

"These forty people are responsible for the safety of the thirteen Zhuangzi and sixteen shops outside our Lu family, which is simply not enough. ā€

"The Father naturally knows, but.... It's hard to find this reliable manpower....." Lu Quanan sighed.

"What about adopting orphans? There are a lot of street children outside the city and inside the city, right?" Lu Sheng proposed.

"This.... After all, we have to consider the ideas of several others..."

Lu Quanan hesitated.

"We don't have enough manpower, so why do we need to worry about a few others?

"This matter is a sensitive topic, and it will affect the whole body, if it is discovered by several other families, it will definitely reprimand our Lu family for being ambitious and too eye-catching. ā€

Lu Quanan shook his head slightly.

Lu Sheng persuaded two more words, but it still didn't work.

I knew in my heart that Lu Quanan no longer had the momentum of his youth, at that time he had nothing and no worries, so he was decisive and responsible, and created a huge family business of the Lu family.

And now .... Looking ahead and hesitating.

Lu Sheng could see that Lu Quan'an supported him to collect martial arts, because he wanted to expand.

But when he really wanted to start doing it, he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

After saying a few words, he stopped persuading, and only mentioned some things about the health of his family.

After that, he retired.

Lu Quanan stood alone in the lobby, frowning, still hesitating.

Lu Sheng didn't want to rely on this dad anymore.

In such troubled times, if your own strength is not enough, sooner or later you will become a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

He left the lobby and continued to practice martial arts on the school grounds.

After Jade Crane Gong reached the peak of the second layer, he was full of energy throughout the day, and even if he was busy from morning to night, he didn't feel too tired.

When you are a little sleepy, sit down and rest for a while, and then you will be alive again, and you will be active for a few hours.

On the school field, he practiced his knife until the evening.

I took a shower covered in sweat and rushed to dinner.

At the dinner table, Lu Quan'an, Erniang, and Lu Sheng were at one table, and the rest of the relatives were sitting at another big table.

It's the rule.

Lu Quanan is the head of the family, Lu Sheng is the future head of the family, and Erniang is the former inner Lu Quanan and Lu Sheng have a very close relationship with her. She also manages the backyard maids on weekdays.

These three people are the three with the highest status in the entire Lu family.

After that, there are three mothers, four mothers, five mothers, Lu Qingqing, Lu Yingying, Lu Chenxin and other family members.

Although the Lu family belongs to the first generation of nouveau riche, many places still learn the same rules as everyone else.

Like eating without saying anything, it is one of them.

The two large tables were eating, and there was only the occasional collision of dishes and chopsticks, and the rest was really not at all.

"Small win. ā€

Lu Quan'an, who rarely spoke at the dinner table, suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the whole family slowly stopped and listened to him. It's also etiquette. After all, unless something particularly important, she usually doesn't talk at the dinner table anymore.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Lu Sheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Quan'an.

"You said that Jiulian City can't collect martial arts, do you want to go to Yanshan City?"

Lu Quanan said seriously.

"Along the mountain city?"

Lu Sheng was stunned, he didn't expect his father to ask him to leave Jiulian City.

"yes. Lu Quanan nodded. "There is an old friend of mine there, he mentioned in his letter a few days ago that there are famous masters of the Central Plains along the mountain city to teach the arts, if you are willing, you can go over there, maybe you can bring back one or two sets of real martial arts in the Central Plains. ā€
