Yuzhou, in a county military camp.

A bald man looked at the invitation that was suddenly sent to him and was a little dazed.

This bald man is called Lu Shen, and he is a low-ranking officer in this county.

If he is placed in front of ordinary people, he is considered a big person, but in front of some people, his official position and authority are simply nothing.

It is precisely because of this reason that Lu Shen is a little puzzled why he received such an invitation.

The reason why he was puzzled was because the person who handed him the invitation was the Huang family, the largest family in this county.

Although the Huang family is not as powerful as before after the Great Song Dynasty took power, it is also a family that has been inherited for a hundred years, and he should be nothing in front of others.

And he didn't have anything to do with the Huang family before, so Lu Shen couldn't understand why the Huang family suddenly sent him an invitation to feast him.

At this time, Lu Shen not only did not have many surprises, but smelled the meaning of the Hongmen banquet.

However, no matter what, since the invitation was sent over, Lu Shen still had to go.

That night, Lu Shen made simple preparations and took his two brothers to the Huang family for a banquet.

Lu Shen went away with vigilance, but the Huang family's hospitality to Lu Shen was really meticulous.

The head of the Huang family went out to greet him personally, and at the banquet, he kept handing out olive branches to Lu Shen, not only pushing a flower-like daughter into Lu Shen's arms, but even openly or secretly admitting to Lu Shen.

As long as Lu Shen is willing to marry that young lady who is like a flower, their Huang family will not only promise a dowry of 5,000 gold, but will even use the power of their yellow scarves to help Lu Shen pave the way, so that he can go all the way.

Beauty, money, power!

The two brothers he brought over had red eyes, and they spoke vigorously with yellow scarves, asking Lu Shen to quickly eat the fat meat sent to the door.

Lu Shen's side, of course, he is also very excited.

has been a dick for twenty or thirty years, and finally has such an opportunity in front of him, if he can, Lu Shen naturally can't let it go.

But after thinking about it again, Lu Shen finally refused in the eyes of his brother Are you an idiot or not.

And the reason why Lu Shen was able to do this is not because of how high he is.

But he knew very well that once he accepted this, he would be equivalent to getting on the Huang family's ship.

If it was a year ago, Lu Shendao would not have hesitated to get on the ship.

Or it should be said that a year ago, as long as the Huang family showed a little meaning, he Lu Shen immediately begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother and posted it.

But now it's different, now the family's ship, Lu Shen really can't get on it.

He knew very well that those families that were in full swing now really couldn't jump for a few days.

In the past half a year, the Great Song Dynasty has been weakening the power of the family little by little, taking their county seat as an example, more than half a year ago, their Huang family could remove the county order and county Wei with a word.

And now, their Huang family has not to say that the county order has been dismissed, and even the head of the Huang family has to be polite in front of the county order.

At this time, if Lu Shen dared to lean on the side of the family, the end would be absolutely bleak.

He doesn't care about himself, it's a big deal for a lonely person to run away if something happens in the future, mainly these two brothers around him, he is afraid that he will implicate these brothers in the future.

Lu Shen has no other advantages, and the biggest one is righteousness.

Righteous anger towards one's brothers.

The kind of person who belongs to that kind of person who starves to death and doesn't starve his brother to death, this kind of person is idiot, and is almost extinct in real life.

But I have to admit that there are still such people.

It is precisely because Lu Shen is such a person that Lu Shen can stand firm and unwavering in the face of temptation.

It's just that the head of the Huang family has already bent down to make friends with him, and even took out his own baby daughter as a tool to befriend him Lu Shen, at this time, the more Lu Shen stood firm, the more the face of the head of the Huang family hurt.

So after Lu Shen politely refused several times, the face of the head of the Huang family suddenly sank.

Of course, the head of the Huang family is still a bit of a city government, and they didn't break out immediately, but after showing a regretful expression, they served tea and sent it off.

Before leaving, the faces of Lu Shen's two brothers changed, of course, Lu Shen didn't notice this detail.

Moreover, even if you notice it, you probably won't think much about it.

……

After coming out of the Huang family, Lu Shen himself didn't show any regretful expressions, but the two brothers around him couldn't stand it.

"I said, big brother, such a good opportunity is in front of you, why don't you know to cherish it?"

"That's right, the flower-like daughter lady will be your wife, 5,000 gold will give you as your family property, and even ensure your prosperity, how can you refuse such a god-given opportunity?"

……

Regarding the complaints of his two brothers, Lu Shen smiled and was about to explain to his two little brothers.

As a result, before he could speak, as if he had noticed something, his face changed: "Be careful, someone!" ”

Almost as soon as Lu Shen's words landed, thirty or fifty people directly surrounded Lu Shen and the three of them.

Seeing this, Lu Shen hurriedly protected his two brothers with complicated faces behind him.

"Who are you......

"Poof" "Poof"

Before Lu Shen's words were finished, the sound of two sharp blades entering the flesh sounded.

Two bright daggers pierced Lu Shen's back almost simultaneously.

After the two of them made their moves, they seemed to know that Lu Shen would ask, and gave him an explanation directly before Lu Shen opened his mouth.

"Big brother, don't blame us, you know that the brother is a good gambler and owes a lot of debt, and Ah Erniang is seriously ill, we need money, and besides, they said that if we don't do it, they will kill our whole family."

The two didn't dare to look at Lu Shen, they said sorry in their mouths, and their words even cried, but the movements in their hands did not stop at all, stabbing Lu Shen's back again and again.

At this time, Lu Shen didn't move at all, his huge body knelt down, and let the two 'brothers' behind him slaughter.

What else could he do?

If the opponent is the dozens of people in front of him, he can still fight to the death.

But the most ruthless enemy is the two brothers behind him, what can you still let him do at this time? Do you turn around and kill them?

This Lu Shen, who has poured out his heart and lungs to his brother, can't move this hand!

"They still have families, and if you kill them, the two families behind them will be completely destroyed.

Forget it, in this current situation, even if I kill the two of them with my backhand, I can't escape one of these dozens of people, since the left and right are dead, after all, they are still brothers, so just fulfill the two of them! ”

Thinking like this, Lu Shen closed his eyes and prepared for his own death.

It's just that, sometimes, it's not easy for someone to die even if they want to!

When Lu Shen completely gave up resistance, a hateful shout sounded in his mind: "Something that has no interest!" ”

With this angry shout, a wave of compassion with terrifying killing intent surged out from Lu Shen's body!
