Volume 1 The Light of Fireflies Chapter 12 A wave of unsettled waves rises again

"The soup is poisonous. ”

Suddenly, there was an angry shout outside the door, which made Lu Zheng stop when he had just reached the soup spoon in his mouth.

And when the scream outside the door came, Lu Rong was immediately frightened and fell to the ground, and the panicked look on his face was revealed.

Chu Zhen walked into the house quickly and knocked over the soup bowl in Lu Zheng's hand.

A white bubble rustled onto the ground with a strange scent.

"The smell? ”

Smelling this slightly familiar fragrance, Lu Zheng immediately recognized that this poison was the worst poison in this area, and it was Soul Devouring.

As long as a drop of this poison sticks to the viscera and bone marrow, the toxicity will erode the internal organs, causing the poisoned person to die of rotting in the stomach. Although the time for this poison to kill people is short, before death, the poisoned person will suffer extreme pain, as if the soul has been torn apart by life, which is called soul devouring.

"You?"

Lu Zheng suddenly looked up at his younger brother, his eyes were still full of incomprehension and disbelief, he really didn't understand why Lu Rong, who had never had the intention of harming others, wanted to harm him.

Lu Rong also looked at the gradually disappearing foam on the ground in surprise, and muttered in confusion: "How can it be the Soul Devouring Scatter, doesn't it say that it is the soul incense?"

Both Soul Eater and Soul Eater are extremely poisonous, but unlike Soul Eater, the poisoner quickly falls asleep and dies without any pain.

"Why, why did you kill me?"

Lu Zheng's eyes widened, staring at Lu Rong, his heart was full of puzzlement.

"Big brother, I, I, I'm not intentional, yes, yes, yes......"

Lu Rong, who was in a panic, was so frightened that his face turned pale, his speech stammered, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of anxious footsteps outside the room, and immediately, I saw Lu Jiu, the current head of the Lu family, rushing in.

"Zheng'er!"

As soon as he rushed into the door, Lu Jiu saw Lu Zheng sitting on the edge of the bed intact, and the porcelain bowl with the poisonous soup had been shattered on the ground, and the heart he was hanging on finally let go.

"You brute. ”

Seeing that Lu Zheng was fine, Lu Jiu immediately shifted his attention to Lu Rong, who was slumped to the ground, and he lifted a kick and kicked it over.

"Father, slow. ”

Just when Lu Rong's eyes widened, waiting to meet Lu Jiu's anger, Lu Zheng stopped Lu Jiu.

"He's going to kill you, and you're still protecting this beast?" asked Shikaku in a low voice.

After a short period of surprise and puzzlement, Lu Zheng had regained his former calm, and his thoughts kept surging in his head, thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"I didn't protect him, but with the character and mind of the second brother, he couldn't do this step, and there should be someone behind him to instruct him. ”

Lu Rong looked at Lu Zheng in surprise, his face was full of remorse, he didn't expect that Lu Zheng didn't kill himself indiscriminately now.

"By the way, father, why are you here?"

Lu Jiulai's coincidence was also timely, which surprised Lu Zheng.

Lu Jiu was about to answer, when a sudden voice came from outside the door, "Young Master".

Looking for prestige, I saw a short and fat figure walking in a little embarrassed.

Seeing the person coming, Chu Zhen's eyes moved slightly, he was actually the Humpty Dumpty man who recruited Lu Zheng at the inn a few days ago.

According to the news I got later, the two groups of people who were responsible for distracting the Xiong family that day were attacked, and Humpty Dumpty, another retinue of Lu Zheng, and ten hired people were all killed, but I didn't expect this Humpty Dumpty to come back alive today.

"Fat Wang, you're not dead?"

Seeing Wang Fatzi, Lu Zheng also looked very surprised.

"Young master, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma that day, and I rolled down the hill to barely save my life. When I came back, I accidentally found that the second son was colluding with someone and intended to murder the young master, so I hurriedly ran back to report the news. I thought I was a step too late to come back, but fortunately, God bless, young master, you are safe. ”

Humpty Dumpty said with a handful of snot and tears, it seems that he has indeed suffered a lot.

"It's all thanks to Chu Zhen, if he hadn't appeared in time, I would have died. ”

"Brother Chu, thank you very much this time, and later, I will definitely thank you again. ”

In fact, when Lu Zheng introduced Chu Zhen to Lu Jiu three days ago, Lu Jiu still had doubts in his heart, he didn't think that Chu Zhen had the qualifications to make the Lu family pay so much attention. But Lu Zheng's vision has always been accurate, and he rarely makes mistakes, even Lu Jiu sighed to himself, and Lu Zheng, as the heir, has reached an agreement with Chu Zhen, and the Lu family will not lose trust for such a little elixir, so Lu Jiucai introduced Chu Zhen as a guest, but he didn't want Chu Zhen to save Lu Zheng today.

"Since I am a guest in Lufu, it is my job to help the Lu family, and the head of the family does not have to be polite. ”

saved Lu Zheng for the second time, Chu Zhen was not arrogant, which made Lu Jiu very satisfied.

"Lufu Keqing will have another reward after completing the task, if you save the dog, you will naturally have a reward, this is the rule of Lufu, Brother Chu does not have to refuse. ”

Since it is the rule of Lufu, Chu Zhen will no longer shirk, and it just so happens that he now needs a large amount of Quenching Yuan Dan to cultivate.

At this time, Lu Jiu and the others' attention returned to Lu Rong, and Lu Rong sighed in his heart.

"You're a brute, and you still haven't confessed to the people behind you?"

Lu Jiu roared angrily, he had endured his son to the extreme.

"It's Mr. Wu. Lu Rong replied with a sad cry.

"What, Mr. Wu?"

Mr. Wu was invited by Lu Jiu to teach Lu Rong, and he has been in the Lu family for nearly ten years, whether it is Lu Jiu or Lu Zheng, he has always respected him. Unexpectedly, this time it was this Mr. Wu who instigated Lu Rong to kill Lu Zheng behind his back.

"This Mr. Wu also gave you a ringing arrow, right?" Chu Zhen suddenly asked.

If Chu Zhen guessed correctly, the other old voice he overheard belonged to this Mr. Wu.

"How do you know?"

Lu Rong didn't tell anyone about the arrow, and he really couldn't guess how Chu Zhen knew about it.

"I naturally have my own methods. ”

Then, Chu Zhen turned to Lu Zheng and said, "It seems that we still have some people to deal with." ”

Lu Zheng nodded, no matter who Mr. Wu arranged for Lu Rong, these people have become his enemies, and in Yonghe City, the Lu family cannot have enemies.

"Kim doesn't smell it. ”

With a soft call, Lu Zheng glanced at Jin Buwen.

Jin Buwen immediately understood, nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

After saying that, Jin Buwen was ready to go out and arrange manpower.

But at this moment, a crisp sound of "whoosh" suddenly sounded outside the house, which instantly broke the calm of the rainy night.

"What's going on?"

Everyone in the house, whether it was Lu Zheng, Chu Zhen, or Lu Rong, was shocked, because the arrow in Lu Rong's sleeve did not shoot.

"Kill!"

The shouting of killing suddenly sounded, and a large number of black-clothed people armed with long knives killed the deer family from three sides.

In a moment, a family member ran in in a panic.

"Master, no, it's not good, those people from the ghost wolf village have come into the house. ”

"Ghost Wolf Village!"

The ghost wolf village was originally a group of bandits within the boundaries of Yonghe City, they relied on the strength of the crowd and did not take the Lu family in their eyes, but Lu Zheng found an opportunity and destroyed the cottage, and the remaining robbers also fled outside the boundary of Yonghe City.

"Why is it from the ghost wolf village, didn't Mr. Wu say so?"

At this moment, no matter how stupid and stupid Lu Rong is, he also senses that something is wrong, the ghost wolf village has an enmity with the Lu family, and he will not let go of anyone in the Lu family at all, including himself.

"Idiot, I don't know if I've been sold!"

Lu Jiu has been angry with this stupid son, and he never wants to see Lu Rong again. After he snorted coldly, he grimaced and led the crowd out to fight the enemy.

"Brother Chu, you can go too, it's enough for me to have these two little guys here. ”

The Lu family was in trouble, Lu Zheng was anxious, and asked everyone to go out to meet the enemy, leaving only two nursing homes with good skills.

"Okay, be careful. ”

The courtyard where Lu Zheng lived was in the depths of Lu's house, and the bandits outside couldn't attack it for a while, so Chu Zhen could rest assured that he would fight the enemy.

In Lufu, especially in the front yard near the gate, both sides are fighting fiercely. Screams, roars, shouts of killing, and wails mingled and shook the entire city of Yonghe.

The people of the ghost wolf village attacked suddenly, and they caught the deer family off guard, and soon took the initiative, and the attacking deer family retreated again and again.

But as time passed, reinforcements from the Lu family kept coming and gradually stabilized their position.

Chu Zhen ran to the front yard, raised his eyes and scanned the battle situation, and then jumped into the battle group.

Chu Zhen's green bamboo cane had been damaged in the battle three days ago, and what he was using now was a long sword selected from the Lu family's armory.

The blade was swung, bringing out splashes of blood, whether it was the people of Lufu or the people of the Ghost Wolf Village, they were fighting desperately, not giving the other party any chance to live.

Chu Zhen, who was holding a sharp sword, was in the melee, harvesting the lives of the bandits one by one, and with a calm and usual expression, no one could see that this young man who seemed to be a killing god was only fifteen years old.

"Kill, kill Lao Tzu, no one is allowed to retreat. ”

Seeing that the battle situation was getting more and more unfavorable, the iron wolf of the ghost wolf village even began to retreat, and when he was annoyed, he yelled at his subordinates to rush forward again.

"The big boss, the situation is not right, the surname Wu doesn't mean that as long as the arrow sounds, there will be disputes within the Lu family, and then the two sides should work together to destroy the Lu family. But now, where did that old thing with the surname Wu go?"

A bandit beside Iron Wolf noticed that the situation was not right, and hurriedly reminded Iron Wolf in a low voice.

In fact, the Iron Wolf had already discovered this, but now that their whereabouts were exposed, it was a fool's dream to escape from Yonghe City again. Since there is no way back, all he can do is to lead the crowd to fight, and killing one counts as one.

"His grandmother's dare to play Lao Tzu, surnamed Wu, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go. ”

After speaking, the iron wolf shouted to kill, raised his knife and rushed forward.

Iron Wolf danced with a ghost-headed big knife, and with the strength of his Lingyuan Erpin, just a few faces, more than a dozen guards in Lufu became the souls of the sword.
