Several neighbors were holding heavy gold ingots, and they were a little dizzy for a while.

"Oh, Sixteenth Master, this is too much......"

"That is, if we add up, one ingot of gold is enough......"

Although these neighbors are snobbish, they also have simplicity, and they actually want to return the extra ingots to Lu Zhong.

"Take it, it's more than that, I'll reward you." Lu Zhong crossed his legs, his sick face was full of ease and said: "If you feel that you can't go, you will give your master a full body and clothes, and then invite a shaved master to come over and give your face a whole face." ”

"The Sixteenth Master is really, it's so refreshing...... the neighbors thanked them for their kindness, carefully took the ingots into their arms, patted their chests and agreed. You just have to wait, we will make sure you are satisfied. ”

After saying that, the neighbors dispersed in a hurry. After a while, someone brought brand-new robes and cotton boots, picked up the burden of shaving his face, and brought a large wooden barrel over, boiling hot water and waiting for Lu Zhong to take a bath.

After an hour's effort, Lu Zhong was completely new from head to toe, looking at his meticulously combed hair in the mirror, touching his cleanly shaved face, Lu Zhong nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really a person with clothes and a horse with a saddle, and the sixteenth master's shackle, let alone ten years younger."

"What's the matter, it's that the sixteenth master has a good foundation, look at this handsome appearance, it's really the most handsome man on the whole street."

Listening to the compliments of the neighbors, Lu Zhong was desolate. He can refresh his skin, though. But the spirit that was higher than the sky back then will never come back.

Of course, there is no need to share this feeling with these laymen, he took a sable fur warm hat from a neighbor, put it on his head, and walked away.

。

Lu Zhong left Gong'an Fang and walked along the long street to Luobei. Approaching the end of the year, the sky was terrible and cloudy, and the people on the street were in a hurry, or carrying or carrying the New Year's goods purchased from the South Market, and hurried to their homes.

Only Lu Zhong slowed down, facing the cold wind, and walked forward unhurriedly. In fact, the ease in front of the neighbors is all fake, and the closer he gets to Luobei, the more confused he becomes. Scenes from the past swayed in front of his eyes, making him fall into painful memories unconsciously.

I don't know how far he walked, he suddenly felt ice on his forehead, and when he looked up blankly, he found that the sky had begun to snow.

"It's snowing......" Lu Zhong sighed lightly, lest his robe be wet by the snow, he hurriedly put away all his distracting thoughts and hurried away.

In order to take a shortcut, he turned into an alley on the way, and as long as he crossed this alley, he could reach Suzaku Street.

Just as he was bowing his head and hurrying away, Lu Zhong suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in front of him. Although he had lost all his skills, the eyes of the master were still there, and he only glanced forward, and he felt that the men dressed as ordinary people, with a strong killing intent, had locked on him.

Lu Zhong hurriedly turned around and wanted to escape, but saw that there were also a few men blocking there at the end of the alley......

In the flash of light, he couldn't help but think of a possibility, could it be that he made a generous move and attracted people's attention? Lu Zhong took out the only two gold ingots left, held them high in his hands, stood up and smiled at the other party: "If you don't work hard, you can give all the money." ”

Now that he is powerless, he simply gives up resistance to see if he can let the villains let him live.

Who knew that the other party ignored him, rushed to him in a few arrows, and took out a sharp blade to kill him on the spot!

"My life is on hold......" Lu Zhong closed his eyes and accepted his fate, and smiled miserably. The heart said that the rat should hide in the rat hole, and as soon as it came out, it would be killed.

Who knew that after a few sounds of sharp weapons entering the flesh, he didn't feel any pain at all. Lu Zhong opened his eyes blankly, and saw that the killers had already been killed on the spot.

Several samurai dressed in land valve suits, armed with crossbows, leapt from the high wall and protected him in the center in the blink of an eye.

"Sixteenth Master, come with us!" The samurai vigilantly examined the bodies of those killers, and then divided some of them to block the other group of killers who rushed from the alley, and the rest of them quickly ran towards Suzaku Street with Lu Zhong.

"We are the guards of the Council of Elders, and we have come to protect the Sixteenth Master on the orders of the Great Elder."

On the street, a carriage with a landing valve badge was already waiting there, and the leader of the guard gave a brief introduction, and then couldn't help but say something, and stuffed Lu Zhong into the carriage. The group escorted the carriage and rushed towards Lu Fang.

。

Lu Fang, the main courtyard of the valve.

Lu Shang stood on the porch with his hands behind his back, as if admiring the snowflakes falling from the sky, but his expression was gloomy and terrifying.

Lu Xiu held the fox fur in his hand, draped it on Lu Shang's body, and persuaded in a low voice: "Father, let's go into the house." ”

Lu Shang didn't move at all, he just looked at the snowflakes and wrapped the garden in front of him in silver.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded, and when Lu Xiu heard the sound, he saw that the housekeeper Liu was covered in snow and rushed in from outside.

"Master......" Steward Liu was just about to report to Lu Shangyu, but when he saw that Lu Xiu was also present, he stopped talking.

"Don't worry, when is this coming, there's no need to carry the uncle on your back." Lu Shang said lightly.

"Yes." Steward Liu said in a low voice: "There are already precautions over there, and we haven't succeeded." ”

"It's normal, it's strange that the old immortal is defenseless......" Lu Shang said this, but his face became more and more gray. It's just that the old man can't help but give it a try......"

"Who?" Lu Xiu was a little confused, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Father wants to send someone to do it, why don't you let your son arrange it?" The deacons are at home, ready to be dispatched......"

"Hehe......" Lu Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you can use the power in the valve, how can the old man let that old man succeed?" Then he turned around, glanced at Steward Liu, and said, "Where are you now?" ”

"I've been taken into the Great Elder's Mansion by the guards of the Council of Elders......" Steward Liu replied softly.

Lu Xiu's heart jumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”

"Lu Zhong." Lu Shang spit out two words gloomily.

"What?!" Lu Xiudeng's face changed. He has always been unwavering, even under the pressure of Xiahou Buxing, his face still does not change. Hearing the name 'Lu Zhong' at this moment, Lu Xiu was moved. He grabbed Steward Liu and roared in a low voice: "Tell me, why did you kill him?!" ”

Lu Shang nodded, motioned to Steward Liu, and told Lu Xiu what had happened.

"That's right, sir." Lu Xiu let go of his hand, Steward Liu coughed twice, and said succinctly: "Recently, I got a secret report that the Great Elder was secretly colluding and wanted to attack the Lord on the day of ancestor worship. The villain mobilized the eyeliner planted on the other party's mansion, wanting to find out the great elder's scheme. But the Great Elder was extremely cautious, and until today, he found out that he had picked up a woman from Shuzhong and had been hiding in the secret room, letting his favorite concubine take care of it personally. ”

"That woman ......" Lu Xiu looked at Lu Shang in disbelief: "Is it a jade slave?" ”
