Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
This time, Lu Yu came out of the Lu Mansion blatantly, so he wore a white satin Confucian robe, unlike the last time he sneaked out of the house, he had to wear the black linen night clothes.
So, Lu Yu, who changed his outfit, hid all the remaining martial arts temperament on his body, at this moment, anyone who saw Lu Yu would definitely think that he was a thin and tall weak scholar, and he would definitely not know martial arts.
After walking up the steps at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, Lu Yu stretched out his left hand and pulled up the bronze lion head knocker on the gate of the Zhou Mansion, "Bang, Bang, Bang......" knocked a few times.
"Squeak...... Squeak......" With a piercing and "long" door shaft friction sound, a thin crack opened in the door of the Zhou Mansion, and then, a pair of squinting eyes appeared in the crack of the door, "peeping" Lu Yu.
Because Lu Yu is Zhou Fang's friend and his cheap brother-in-law, Lu Yu often comes to Zhou Mansion to find Zhou Fang, so the people in Zhou Mansion know Lu Yu.
So, the "voyeur", after seeing through the crack in the door that it was Lu Yu, the third young master of the Lu Mansion, who was standing outside the door, immediately opened the door completely, and went out with a lantern to greet Lu Yu.
Lu Yu knew the Zhou Mansion guy in front of him who opened the door for him, and knew that his name was Zhou Chang, the word Guangping, so when Zhou Chang greeted him, Lu Yu casually thanked him: "Hard work, Brother Guangping......"
"The third young master is too polite, you don't have to call me by name, just call me by name, please ......" Hearing that the third young master of the Lu Mansion actually knew his name, the "flattered" Zhou Chang was really excited, although he was very happy in his heart, but he did not forget his duty, and hurriedly carried the lantern to Lu Yu to show the way.
"Zhou Wenxiao is back, right?" After looking up and glancing at the Zhou Mansion, Lu Yu asked Zhou Chang in a low voice.
"My lord just came back...... After listening to Lu Yu's question, Zhou Changzai first invited Lu Yu into the gate, and then turned around and closed the door, and then, while he opened the door latch, he answered Lu Yu.
"Oh, then take me to him......" Lu Yu, who had been worried about what to do if Zhou Fang was not at home on the way, was immediately relieved after getting the information that Zhou Fang had returned from Zhou Chang's mouth.
"Third Young Master, please ...... here" After pointing to a verandah on the right, Zhou Chang began to lead the way for Lu Yu.
"Well......" Suddenly, the careful Lu Yu suddenly saw that Zhou Chang's face, which was illuminated by the candlelight in the lantern, was blue and purple and swollen, and that appearance was almost swollen beyond recognition, and there was still a lot of dust behind the black robe on Zhou Chang's body.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu asked Zhou Chang in a low voice: "Brother Guangping, you were beaten ......"
"Hey......" After listening to Lu Yu's question, Zhou Chang, who was carrying a lantern to lead Lu Yu's way, smiled bitterly and sighed, and then he shook his head and replied: "This matter, third young master, don't ask me, you go and ask our master......"
"Oh......" Lu Yu, who understood the truth that people did not dare to talk about the master, vaguely realized the other party's distress after listening to Zhou Chang's answer, so after nodding considerately, Lu Yu responded to him: "I understand...... You can lead the way with peace of mind......"
"Third Young Master Xie......" After listening to Lu Yu's considerate words, Zhou Chang whispered back to thank Lu Yu, and the tone in which he spoke seemed to contain a lot of "unspeakable hidden", and even, with a little dissatisfaction.
"You're welcome......" After casually replying to Zhou Chang, Lu Yu stopped talking, and walked north along the verandah with Zhou Chang in small steps.
Lu Yu and Zhou Chang had just walked out of the verandah, and were about to enter the hall between the front and back courtyards of the Zhou Mansion, when a white figure with a fragrant breeze, like lightning, "flew" out of the gate of the hall and collided with Zhou Chang.
After a scream of "Ah ......", Zhou Chang, who was quite "plump", seemed to have collided with a train, and was directly knocked away, and flew towards Lu Yu quickly.
Lu Yu, who witnessed everything that happened at the "car accident scene", suddenly stepped forward and met Zhou Chang who was flying towards him, he raised his left arm lightly, grabbed Zhou Chang's belt, unloaded the force on his body, and pulled him down from mid-air at the same time.
At the same time, Lu Yu also stretched out his right arm, took out his palm to take out the lantern that Zhou Chang threw out, and summoned it back by taking things in the air, and firmly held the handle of the lantern.
"Which ...... Don't have long eyes...... "As soon as Lu Yu put Zhou Chang on the ground, Zhou Chang, who was hit with severe pain in his chest, pointed to the white figure in the shadows and scolded.
When the white figure slowly walked out of the shadows and revealed its general appearance, in an instant, Zhou Chang seemed to have pressed the "mute button", and the scolding in his mouth disappeared immediately, and then, he was like a deflated ball, and the whole person swayed and fell to the ground.
It turned out that it was Yan Wushuang who knocked over Zhou Chang and walked out from the Zhou Mansion, because she was coming to the Zhou Mansion for the first time and didn't know much about the building structure of this place, so she had been going around the mansion for three or four minutes, and she hadn't gotten out yet, and even, the more she couldn't get out, the more angry she was, and she was going to jump off the wall to go out......
"It's you!" Because of the lantern in Lu Yu's hand at this moment, Lu Yu was in the light and Yan Wushuang was in the dark, so when Lu Yu hadn't seen the appearance of the white figure clearly, Yan Wushuang had already seen Lu Yu's face clearly.
"Hmm......" Lu Yu, who suddenly heard a familiar voice, snorted lightly, and just as he was thinking about whose voice it was, Yan Wushuang quietly walked in front of Lu Yu, and at this moment, the candlelight in the lantern also illuminated her face, "Wow......"
"You've lied to me...... You said your name is Zhou Fang......" didn't even say hello, Yan Wushuang glared at Lu Yu coldly, and directly began to "Xingshi asks for guilt", she gritted her back molars, and whispered to Lu Yu: "You still left me alone in the mass grave......"
After noticing that Yan Wushuang's chest was about to rub against him, Lu Yu took a step back helplessly, and after opening a buffer distance of one or two meters, Lu Yu smiled bitterly and greeted Yan Wushuang in an embarrassed tone: "Miss Yan, don't come unharmed......"
At the same time, Lu Yu roared in his heart with "despair": The ancients did not deceive me, and the road between enemies is really narrow......
"Hmph......" Yan Wushuang, who didn't seem to have heard what Lu Yu said at all, pouted his lips in hatred and snorted coldly, and pulled out his sword with a "......".
Without giving Lu Yu even a second to react, she raised her hand and put the blade of the Cold Iron Sword on Lu Yu's right side of the neck, and asked in a cold voice with her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Say, what's your name......
