Volume 1 The Light of Fireflies Chapter 18 Catching a Turtle in an Urn
"Oh, you've been attacked?" Lu Zheng asked with concern.
Chu Zhen nodded and replied, "It was the master of the Wind Fall Pavilion who made the shot. ”
Lu Zheng and Lu Jiu looked at each other when they heard this, and thought: This Xiong family has a killing intention for Chu Zhen.
Not long after, several suspects were called in. When they saw Chu Zhen, everyone else was the same as usual, only a hint of surprise flashed in Wang Fatzi's eyes.
Glancing at the most familiar people, Lu Zheng said calmly: "You are all the henchmen of my Lu family, and the people I trust my father and me the most, but I don't know, if you have any opinions about my father and son, or the Lu family, now you can all say it, and my father and I will not blame." ”
"What did the young master say, you and the head of the family are not thin on your subordinates, how dare your subordinates have other ideas. ”
"Young master, the head of the family, and his subordinates have no ideas. ”
"Neither did the subordinates. ”
These henchmen were loyal one after another, and soon it was Wang Fatzi's turn.
"My subordinates are willing to sacrifice their lives for the head of the family and the young master. Wang Fatzi said loudly.
At this moment, Lu Zheng smiled lightly, and suddenly said coldly: "In that case, why did you betray the Lu family?"
As soon as the words came out, several henchmen were suddenly shocked, and their eyes immediately turned to the frightened Wang Fatzi.
Wang Fatzi quibbled in a trembling tone: "Young master, what are you talking about, you forgot, when the second son wanted to poison you that day, I rushed back to report the letter." ”
"That's why I once dispelled my suspicions about you. If it weren't for Chu Zhen's repeated insistence on putting you on the temptation list, I would have mistakenly placed you, a traitor. Lu Zheng said hatefully.
"Temptation?"
Several henchmen stared at each other in amazement, and they now knew that they had passed Lu Zheng's test without their knowledge.
"Temptation?
Wang Fatzi's heart was empty, and cold sweat couldn't stop flowing out, but he still bit his mouth to death.
At this time, Chu Zhen, who was sitting on the side watching the play, said, "How could the killer know my whereabouts clearly?"
"Your whereabouts?" the fat man rolled his eyes, and then said, "Who knows your whereabouts here, so why should you conclude that I leaked it?"
With a "snap", Lu Jiu slapped the table angrily and shouted: "You still dare to quibble, you tell him." ”
"Young Master Chu went outside the city to collect medicine in the morning. ”
"Young Master Chu went to Xuanyue Pavilion today to buy exercises. ”
Hearing this, there was no need to listen any further, Wang Fatzi finally understood what the problem was, it turned out that the news they got was different, and if something happened along the way, the corresponding person was a traitor.
"Young master, head of the family, forgive me, I was forced. The people who were arrested with me were all skinned and shaved alive, and life was worse than death, and the little ones really had no choice but to go the wrong way. Spare the little ones. ”
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Wang Fatzi immediately howled and cried, kowtowing his head vigorously while begging for mercy loudly, hoping to pick up a life.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. ”
With a cold voice, Lu Jiu raised his hand to kill this traitor.
"Wait. ”
At this moment, Chu Zhen stopped Lu Jiu's powerful palm that was about to fall.
"How do you deliver a message to the Xiong family?"
The dark pile arranged by the Xiong family is not necessarily the only one Wang Fatzi, and he may be able to dig out more people.
"I just need to write the message and put it under the flower bed at the back door, and someone will pick it up. Wang Fatzi confessed honestly.
Hearing this, Lu Jiu and Lu Zheng's faces changed slightly, which meant that there were still Xiong family's forces lurking in the dark in Yonghe City.
"What else do you have to hide?" for example, what are the requirements for the message you wrote?" Lu Zheng asked.
Wang Fatzi quickly shook his head and said, "No, no." ”
"Then it's useless to keep you. ”
After speaking, Lu Zheng suddenly made a move and slapped a palm on the forehead of the fat man.
"Wait ......"
Seeing Wang Fatzi fall to the ground and die, Chu Zhen sighed helplessly, he originally wanted Wang Fatzi to pass on a fake message to the Xiong family.
Lu Zheng looked at Chu Zhen's expression and asked, "Brother Chu wants to use this channel to spread some news?"
Seeing that Lu Zheng also thought of this level, Chu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Lu Zheng smiled lightly and said confidently: "Then Brother Chu doesn't need to worry, I also have the ability to imitate other people's handwriting, which is enough to fake the truth." ”
"Oh, Brother Deer still has such skills?"
Lu Zheng still has such a hand, and it is the first time that Chu Zhen has heard of it.
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said humbly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, I don't know what news Brother Chu wants to send to the Xiong family?"
"He falsely told them about my death, that they might think that there was an opportunity. ”
Hearing Chu Zhen's words, Lu Zheng's eyes subconsciously turned a few times, and then said, "Perhaps, this is a rare opportunity for our Lu family." ”
In Yongsheng City, in the Xiong Mansion Council, Xiong Zhenyue couldn't help but laugh after reading the news from Yonghe City in his hand.
"Well, this man who has done bad things many times is dead, and Lu Jiu, the old thing, is like a frightened bird, and he wants to flee back to his ancestral home. ”
Xiong Zhenhai smiled proudly and said, "Big brother, I think this is a good opportunity for us to get rid of the Lu family." ”
"Oh, what is the second brother's plan?"
According to the letter, Chu Zhen was killed, Lu Jiu was already suspicious of the people around him, and this time when he returned to the ancestral house, he didn't even dare to bring many of his henchmen on weekdays. In this way, there is only Jin Buwen who is the master next to him, as long as we take the opportunity to kill Lu Jiu's father, then the Lu family will be finished. ”
"Okay, the second brother has a very good plan. It's just that the first few misses, our Xiong family has folded a lot of masters, and this time we must make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”
In order to kill Lu Jiu and Lu Zheng, the Xiong family sent out many masters, but they all went and never returned, and now the Xiong family is understaffed and can't withstand too much consumption.
Xiong Zhenhai said confidently: "Big brother, don't worry, this time, I decided to let the third brother bring the masters in the Qi Mansion, plus the killers sent by the Wind Fall Pavilion, I will definitely let Lu Jiu's father and son die without a place to be buried." ”
"That's fine. ”
Hearing that the killer of the Windfall Pavilion had joined the battle, Xiong Zhenyue nodded reassuringly.
At night, the Lu family's ancestral house is brightly lit.
This ancestral house, located in a small town a few miles outside Yonghe City, is the place where the Lu family arose.
On the towering eaves of the Lu family's ancestral house, there were many guards who were constantly looking around, looking at their nervous appearance, as if they were very worried about being attacked.
At this time, before the two guards could make any noise, they were suddenly slashed by their throats and quietly died.
Immediately afterwards, the guards were assassinated one by one, and it was not until the guards on the house were almost half dead that the guards who were still alive suddenly realized.
"Who?"
Before the words fell, I saw a flash of cold light, and another guard was killed in seconds. At the same time, the door of the Lu family's ancestral house was smashed open from the outside with a "bang", and then a large group of black-clothed people rushed in.
"Kill, don't leave a single one. ”
Xiong Zhenchuan roared and led people into the courtyard, but unexpectedly found that no one came out to fight, and suddenly his heart "groaned", and there was an extremely ominous feeling.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the sound of killing was everywhere, and a large number of people from the Lu family suddenly came out from behind the surrounding walls, and in a blink of an eye, they surrounded the black-clothed people who broke in.
Xiong Zhenchuan was shocked: "It's not good, it's a trick." ”
Suddenly, the door of a room opened, and Chu Zhen, Lu Jiu, Lu Zheng, and Jin Buwen walked out of the room with a promised expression.
"Haha, it's you Xiong Zhenchuan who came, it seems that I really made a lot of money this time. Lu Jiu stared at Xiong Zhenchuan and said with a smile.
Xiong Zhenchuan glanced at the two Stormfall Pavilion killers beside him, and his heart was a little more stable. In addition to himself, there are also two Spirit Yuan Realm killers from the Wind Fall Pavilion, as well as a master of the Fan Yuan Nine Rank brought by himself, and the overall strength is still slightly advantageous.
"Hmph, Lu Jiu, there are three Spirit Yuan Realm masters on my side, do you think you won?"
Lu Jiu smiled coldly and replied, "Do you think your Xiong family can afford to hire a helper, but my Lu family can't afford to hire it?"
As soon as the words fell, an old man with a Lingyuan Yipin walked out of the room behind Lu Jiu.
"This?"
There were three Lingyuan Realm masters on both sides, and the advantage on their side was gone, and at this time, Xiong Zhenchuan had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
"You're not dead!"
One of the two killers sent by the Stormfall Pavilion was the same killer who assassinated Chu Zhen that day, and when he saw Chu Zhen standing in front of him in a dignified manner, he was extremely shocked.
"Hmph, Xiong Zhenchuan, the end of your Xiong family has arrived. ”
With two light snorts, Lu Jiu waved his arm, and the people of the Lu family immediately pounced and killed the people of the Xiong family.
"See where you're running this time?"
The assassination target reappeared, indicating that the assassination had failed, and the killer who killed Chu Zhen felt humiliated and rushed forward after staring at Chu Chen.
"Your opponent is me. ”
At this time, Lu Jiu shouted loudly, stood up in front of this killer, and fought with him fiercely.
On the other hand, Jin Buwen fought against Xiong Zhenchuan, and the old man invited by Lu Jiu pestered another female killer of the Wind Fall Pavilion, while Chu Zhen fought with the black-clothed man of Fan Yuan Jiupin under Xiong Zhenchuan.
"You, why are you?"
This man in black, Chu Zhen has also seen, is the man who led people to surround and kill him in the alley that day. Unexpectedly, the road was narrow, and they met again tonight. It's just that this time is different from the past, Chu Zhen is also a mortal Yuan Jiupin, and he is on a par with him.
"Hmph, what you can't think of, it's still to come. ”
With a cold snort, Chu Chen's quick sword swept continuously, and the move pointed directly at the opponent's vital point, forcing the opponent to concentrate on the battle, not daring to have the slightest distraction.
The people at the high level of strength of the Xiong family were all dragged down, and the rest of the people were average in strength, and they were outnumbered at all, but a large number of people were killed and injured in an instant, and the defeat was fully revealed.
"Hateful!"
Seeing his subordinates die one after another, Xiong Zhenchuan was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and his ruthless moves attacked Jin Buwen one after another.
Although Jin Buwen's strength was slightly inferior, he intended to delay, and he didn't hit it hard at all, which made Xiong Zhenchuan helpless for a while.
"Fireflies change three times. ”
Knowing that the six people of the Spirit Yuan Realm are temporarily difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, this battle between himself and his opponent is the key to breaking the balance.
"Three points of the knife wave. ”
Knowing this, the man did not show weakness, and slashed out three sword shadows with one sword, attacking the three fireflies respectively.
At the moment when the sword shadow came into contact with the fireflies, Chu Chen's heart suddenly moved, and the fireflies scattered into thousands of sparks in an instant.
The three sword shadows only destroyed part of the sparks, and the rest still pounced on the man at an unabated speed.
The man gasped and quickly spun the blade away, shaking the sparks.
But at this moment, Chu Chen's mind moved again, and the scattered sparks reunited into two moths and flew back from behind.
"Not good. ”
The man hurriedly went to hide, but saw the corners of Chu Chen's mouth bent, and shouted: "Huo Yuan Palm." ”
The red palm print struck and slammed into the man's long knife in front of him, knocking him back into place.
"Ahh
Two moths flew up to the man almost at the same time, and the flames engulfed him instantly, burning him to ashes in a terrible howl.
"You'll be next. ”
As he spoke, Chu Zhen turned his cold gaze to Xiong Zhenchuan.
