Compared with before, Wanqiu City has not changed much.

Two years, for a person like Lu Ping'an, who has gone through ups and downs, it will feel very long, and the whole person has also grown and progressed tremendously.

But for the calmer Wanqiu City, it seems that there are not many traces of the passage of time.

Most of the buildings and shops on the street are still familiar to Lu Ping'an and Tianhe.

It's just that the city seems to be a little cleaner, and the streets seem to be newly renovated, all of which are details that have changed, and the overall feeling is still the same as it was back then.

After entering the city, Lu Ping'an and the three of them led their horses to walk on the street.

Lu Ping'an and Tian He inevitably recalled the past and sighed about the past.

Meng Shaoyuan looked around, feeling the different street market from Dongyu Kingdom.

There were neither more nor less people on the street, and the three of Lu Ping'an looked ordinary, so naturally no one noticed them.

In order to avoid attracting attention, they even used magic to conceal the aura of the dragon-blooded horse.

After all, a mid-grade spirit beast in the ground level is still very eye-catching when it appears in Wanqiu City.

After a while, Lu Ping'an said, "Let's find a place to live first." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Isn't your home here? Why don't you go home?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Didn't you say that you can't startle the snake?"

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Then isn't it okay to let your family keep it secret? And didn't you come back just to go home and have a look?"

Lu Ping'an said: "My Lu family is a big family here, and there are many people, so let's find an opportunity to sneak back later." ”

Tian He said: "Well, that's right, then let's find an inn." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled: "Don't you go to the Yijin Building on Liuli Street?"

Tian He was stunned when he heard this, then he also laughed, waved his hand, and said, "No, no, I don't like to go to that kind of place for a long time." ”

In fact, Lu Ping'an also knew that Tian He had already abandoned those hobbies, but he couldn't help but make a little joke.

Soon, the three of them found an ordinary inn and stayed for the time being.

After checking in, they found a table in the corner of the inn lobby and sat down, ordered something at random, and chatted while drinking tea and "eavesdropping" on other people's conversations.

In addition to making special inquiries, this method is the fastest way to understand the current situation in Wanqiu City.

Fortunately, the business of this inn is good, and there are more guests who eat and drink, and it didn't take long for Lu Ping'an and others to know some information from other people's conversations.

For example, the current city lord is Lu Tianhai of the Lu family.

This person is Lu Ping'an's cousin, who used to be low-key in the family, and Lu Ping'an didn't know much about him.

But now from the mouths of others, they are all praises, and it seems that Lu Tianhai, the city lord, seems to have done a good job.

For another example, now in Wanqiu City, the Lu family's power is dominant.

In the past, the Chen family wanted to oppose the Lu family, but after the Lu family gained power, they were hit hard and ended up ruined.

And the Ye family, which was also one of the three major families back then, had a good relationship with the Lu family early on, so that now it is not too bad, but the power is not as strong as before.

As for the Tian family controlled by Tian Sheng, it naturally completely decayed with his abdication, and it is unknown how many people are still alive.

According to the guests at the next table, the reason why the Lu family has been able to develop to this point is because the Lu family became the lord of the city and gained huge power, and then did a good job, so they got the support of all forces.

On the other hand, the most important reason is actually Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an not only has an excellent relationship with the royal family of Cangwu Kingdom, but even in the entire Eastern Continent, he is a well-known existence.

Who would dare to oppose such a strong person in the clan? Who would not want to cooperate with him?

Of course, this only refers to most cases, but there are no absolutes in the world, and some people have been looking for trouble with the Lu family recently.

It is said that the other party is the Ma family in Jiangliao City next door, and the situation of the Ma family is similar to that of the Lu family, and it is also a dominant force in their city, and the Ma family also serves as the city lord of Jiangliao City.

The two sides quarreled over some mineral issues on the border between the two cities.

It was originally something that could be negotiated well, but the attitude of the Ma family was very tough and arrogant, as if they didn't care about the Lu family's Lu Ping'an, and put forward all kinds of unreasonable demands.

The Lu family was naturally not to be outdone, so they did not give an inch, so the situation fell into a stalemate, and the situation was still a little tense.

As for how it will develop, the guests who talk about it don't know, just gossiping around at the dinner table, making all kinds of speculations and comments.

However, after listening to this, Lu Ping'an and the three of them can be regarded as having an understanding of the current situation.

Tian He said: "Brother Lu Xian, it seems that your Lu family is in trouble. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Then why is the Ma family so bold and arrogant, even Brother Lu and his family dare to provoke?"

Tian He said: "Maybe it's because they have a strong backer, and then they think that Brother Lu Xian won't come back in the short term, but I guess the biggest reason is that their own style of doing things is very arrogant." But in any case, I think it is still necessary for you to help deal with it, Brother Lu Xian. ”

Lu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "But once I come forward, I will inevitably be noticed by Tian Sheng and Han Yingge, which will actually ruin the more important thing." ”

Tian He frowned slightly, and said, "That's true, but since you know that your Lu family is in trouble, you can't ignore it, right?"

Lu Ping'an said: "I really plan to ignore it for the time being, let's wait and see what happens, it's really not good, I'll find a way to see how to deal with it." ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it's possible that the head of your Lu family, or the city lord, can solve it by yourself, and you don't need to interfere at all." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "I hope so." ”

Tian He said: "If it is really just a contradiction between the two major families or two cities, I believe that the Lu family can still deal with it, after all, the strength of our Wanqiu City is not worse than that of Jiangliao City, but I am afraid that it will involve other forces, it will be more troublesome." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "As long as it is a domestic force, I don't worry about whether I can fight or not, I just don't want to make a big fuss and destroy our original plan, so we still have to wait and see first, if we can, we won't make a move, even if we really want to make a move, we have to find a way to change it." ”

Tian He said: "Then you have to go home and ask in person, so that you can grasp the latest situation in time, otherwise it will be too late when we hear the news here." ”

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, I also have this intention, so I decided to go home tonight." ”

......

When night fell, Lu Ping'an left the inn alone.

When he approached the Lu family's territory, he used his stealth ability and walked in silently.

Lu Ping'an found that the Lu family's territory had expanded a little, and some new buildings had been built, but the overall pattern had not changed, and he could still find a way.

Soon, Lu Ping'an came to the old mansion where he used to live.

He wanted to see if Bai Bo was still living here, but he sensed that it was empty.

This made Lu Ping'an's heart sink in, thinking, could it be that something happened to Bai Bo?

But after thinking about it, Lu Ping'an felt that it shouldn't be.

Before leaving, he shared a copy of the bloodline of the Yellow Order to Bai Bo.

Not to mention how powerful Bai Bo can become, but at least it can strengthen his body and extend Bai Bo's lifespan by decades, there is no problem.

Moreover, Lu Songyin, the head of the family, will definitely not treat Bai Bo badly.

Of course, the world is unpredictable, and Lu Ping'an doesn't know if anything happened within the Lu family after he left.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ping'an didn't stay any longer, and immediately went to look elsewhere in Lu's house.

Anyway, no one can detect Lu Ping'an's existence, he can go wherever he wants.

After a while, Lu Ping'an didn't find Bai Bo, but saw Lu Linglong.

Today's Lu Linglong has grown a lot taller, although she is only eleven years old and still a little girl, she is already a little beauty embryo, slim and slim.

She was now practicing with a wooden sword on a lawn, and she was still playing well, and there was still a bit of heroism on her immature cheeks.

Seeing this, Lu Ping'an immediately stopped, with a relieved smile on his face.

If you want to say that the people he cares about the most in the Lu family, it must be Bai Bo and Lu Linglong.

So now that he sees Lu Linglong, Lu Ping'an is also very happy, and he found her, so he will naturally be able to find Bai Bo later.

But Lu Ping'an did not appear directly, but first made sure that no one else appeared nearby, and then walked behind a big tree, lifted the stealth effect, and at the same time restored his original face, and finally walked out slowly.

"Oops, wrong again!"

Lu Linglong practiced a wrong move, so she couldn't help but say with some annoyance.

"Do you want me to teach you? ”

A voice suddenly came from behind, which immediately startled Lu Linglong.

But the little girl's first reaction was not to scream or avoid, but directly grabbed the wooden sword, turned around and stabbed it.

But after stabbing out, Lu Linglong saw that his wooden sword was caught by two fingers, and the movement looked very light, but Lu Linglong used all his strength, and he couldn't move the wooden sword for half a minute.

In desperation, Lu Linglong raised her head and looked up, and at this look, she was stunned, dumbfounded, and her face was full of disbelief.

Lu Ping'an smiled: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for more than two years, you can't recognize me?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Linglong reacted, but she still rubbed her eyes, pinched her cheeks, and said, "I'm not dreaming?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Of course not. ”

Only then did Lu Linglong confirm that Lu Ping'an in front of her was a real existence, and immediately opened her mouth and screamed excitedly.

"Ah...... Brother Ping'an, you're finally back! I miss you!"

Just screaming was not enough, she also rushed over and hugged Lu Ping'an, and said: "Brother Ping'an, I really miss you, why did you come back now, have you forgotten Linglong......

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly, fortunately, he was quick just now, and before Lu Linglong screamed, he laid out a silent formation, otherwise, when the Lu family heard the scream, they would definitely think that something had happened to Lu Linglong, and then swarmed.
