When Lu Hao appeared in front of Lu Tianxing and Lu Yun, both of them were stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hao'er, didn't I let you stay in the Nanling Sword Sect well, you are not allowed to come back, don't you even listen to your father's words?" Lu Tianxing said with a solemn face.
"Do you know how dangerous the Lu family is now? Your brother and I have already been assassinated three times! It's too dangerous for you to come back now, it's better to go back quickly, I can't guarantee that I can survive this family war this time, I don't want us to break off the line, can you understand?"
"Dad, what you do, the children understand, but I, as your son, my grandfather's grandson, and the descendants of the Lu family, how can I be a greedy person who is afraid of death, and retreat when I encounter danger, it's not what our descendants of the Lu family should show, Dad, let me join together, let's fight side by side and get through this difficulty together, okay?" Lu Hao didn't listen to Lu Tianxing's words, but said sincerely.
These words shocked Lu Tianxing, and two lines of tears poured out of his eyes, and now he realized that he had always regarded this little son as a child, but in fact, the child in his eyes had grown up, had his own ideas, had his own confidence, and had the spirit of a descendant of the Lu family.
"Yes, the second brother has grown a lot now, this time let's shoulder these burdens together, even if we lose, that's something to consider in the future, let's make plans again!" Lu Yun also said on the side.
Lu Tianxing wiped the tears in his eyes and said with relief: "Okay, let's let the three of us fight side by side to support the entire Lu family." ā
The father and son looked at each other and smiled.
"Now when our Lu family encounters problems, your uncle Lu Tiangang has stepped up his actions, recruited a lot of good players, and has instigated the Council of Elders to advance the election of the head of the family to three days later, and his ambition to compete for the position of the head of the family has been revealed, so the first thing we need to solve at present is the problem of civil strife. ā
"Moreover, according to the spies, the Chen and Tang families have secretly joined forces and are ready to deal with our Lu family, and the coalition forces of the two families are already secretly preparing weapons and pills, and they are beginning to prepare to attack our Lu family, and it is estimated that it will be shortly after the election of the head of our family, so now our situation is very critical. ā
Lu Tianxing first informed Lu Hao of the basic situation.
"Then our top priority now is to deal with the problem of internal worries first, do you have any plans now?" Lu Hao asked.
"The plan has been decided, and it's a question of how to implement it. Lu Yun said.
Immediately, Lu Yun told them about the plan they had made.
After hearing this plan, Lu Hao was also stunned.
He said with a little shock: "Dad, do you really want to do this?"
A rare hint of domineering flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes and said, "Yes, this must be done, otherwise our Lu family will be destroyed in Dragon Elephant City." ā
Lu Hao took a deep breath, and only barely stabilized his shocked emotions, he didn't expect that his father was a character who also had a sense of the overall situation and dared to think and do, no wonder his grandfather would pass on the position of the head of the family to him, and the critical moment reflected a person's ability and role.
Just as the father and son were about to discuss the details, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Master, it's time to drink the medicine. There was a friendly and familiar voice of an old man outside.
It was Renbo who came in, he was holding a basin in his hand, and there was a bowl of soup and medicine on the basin, he walked in with a smile on his face, nodded at Lu Hao and Lu Yun and said, "The eldest young master, the second young master." ā
Lu Hao and Lu Yun said hello at the same time.
Ren Boke is the most loyal servant of the Lu family, and he has been working for the Lu family since the time of Lu Hao's grandfather, and it has been more than 20 years until now.
"Renbo, I'm sorry for you, I didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as I heard about drinking the medicine, I felt a little headache in my head. Lu Tianxing said politely, and he took the medicine bowl in Renbo's hand.
"Dad, is it to treat your secret injury?" Lu Hao asked with concern.
"No, I don't know why, my father has been having headaches since three months ago, probably because of family affairs, he is too tired, resulting in fatigue. Lu Tianxing explained, and then he opened the medicine bowl and slowly blew out the hot air.
As soon as the lid of the bowl was opened, there was a strong smell of medicine, but as soon as he smelled this medicinal fragrance, Lu Hao frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong.
Lu Hao's perception is very amazing, hearing, vision, smell, taste or touch are very strong, as soon as this strong medicinal fragrance comes out, Lu Hao smells the unusual, it seems to contain a substance, which makes his nerves numb for a while, of course, the power of this crisp numb is very small, but because Lu Hao's sense is very sensitive, it seems that Lu Hao feels it obviously.
Lu Hao suddenly thought of a plant, a poisonous plant, called the Fog Shadow Flower, this flower is very magical, growing in the jungle swamp, its toxicity is not to kill people, but to affect people's nerves, so that the human body's neurons are disordered, if it is absorbed or taken for a long time, it will cause nerve weakness, and even practice to go crazy, it is a poison that cannot be taken directly, of course, this flower also has its special uses, but it must not be taken directly.
The reason why he knows this flower very well is because Lu Hao had seen the introduction of this magical flower in the handbook of the outer disciples of the Nanling Sword Sect, and he also knew a lot about some rare and exotic flowers.
However, so far, Lu Hao is only guessing, because he has not really seen the Fog Shadow Flower, nor has he smelled it.
Lu Tianxing had already passed the decoction to his lips and was about to drink it.
Lu Hao set his eyes on Renbo's body, and saw that he was still a faintly smiling and amiable elder, but his smiling eyes flashed with a trace of unknown cruelty.
"Renbo!" Lu Hao's break made Lu Tianxing startled and stopped moving.
And Renbo looked at Lu Hao in surprise, and said in surprise: "Little master, is there something wrong?"
"What kind of medicine did you give my father?" Lu Hao said.
"It's a decoction for headaches. Ren Bo replied.
"What is this medicine made of?" Lu Hao asked again.
"The recipe is two taels of chrysanthemums, two taels of frost mulberry leaves, one or two skullcaps, one or two prunella grass, and one or two angelica, mixed with a small half bowl of water to boil. Little master, what do you mean by asking? Are you doubting that I can't poison the head of the family, this medicine has been drunk several times, nothing has happened, and it can indeed relieve the headache. Renbo's face was angry, as if Lu Hao's words had deeply hurt him, and he doubted his loyalty.
Lu Tianxing also felt that Lu Hao's tone was wrong, and wanted to defend Renbo for a few words, but Lu Hao stretched out his hand to hold him.
"Renbo, you seem to have missed a prescription, Mist Shadow Flower, why don't you say it?" Lu Hao sneered.
Of course, Lu Hao was not sure that this prescription contained the Fog Shadow Flower, he said this completely to call others, but his expression when he spoke was extremely serious, as if he had really determined that there was a Fog Shadow Flower in it.
As soon as these words came out, Renbo's face changed suddenly, the essence in his eyes flowed, and in an instant, he reacted, and his whole body was mobilized, and he retreated sharply.
This action was much more than Lu Tianxing and Lu Yun expected, but Lu Hao had already locked Renbo, and at the moment he moved, Lu Hao also moved, sticking it up like a shadow.
"Little young master, you can't catch up with me!" Almost no one thought that Renbo was also a first-class master, the cultivation of the True Yuan Realm, and the light martial arts body method was even more very good, and his body moved, and he had already swept out a distance of more than ten zhang, he turned around and smiled at Lu Hao, but the next moment, his smile froze.
An invisible momentum shook his spirit, and the True Yuan input in his body suddenly stagnated for half a moment, and it was in this half a moment that Lu Hao had already caught up, grabbed his right shoulder, and made a lightning shot, blocking his True Yuan Vein Door, and escorting it back to the room.
"Alas, Renbo, why do you want to harm me?" Lu Tianxing said with a sigh.
Ren Bo was arrested, and he seemed to be calm, he smiled bitterly, and said: "People are old, and their mentality has changed, I have given it to the Lu family all my life, and now I am just a subordinate, when the uncle found me, gave me so much wealth and Xiaocui, and gave me a promise, I knew that I was going to sink." ā
"Little Master, how did you find me?" said Renbo with the doubts in his heart.
Lu Hao said: "My father and eldest brother trust you very much, so naturally they will not have any suspicions about you, but I have been away for many years and am not familiar with you, so if you have any unusual behavior, I will doubt you, so just now I tried a little, and you showed your feet." ā
"I see, it seems that I can't do bad things at all, and I can't even do such a small thing as poisoning. Ren Bo laughed at himself, and then he said, "However, Tianxing, I am actually not optimistic about you, do you know that the uncle's side, in fact, I know your situation very clearly, how many troops, how many weapons, how many pills, what supporters, in which important positions, he also planted a lot of eyeliner around you, this power struggle, your chance of winning is not big at all, which is one of the reasons why I agreed to the uncle." ā
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "I know all the things you said." ā
Ren Bo was surprised: "You know, why don't you take measures?"
Lu Tianxing sighed and said: "I let Tiangang develop freely because I took care of my brother's face, but I didn't expect him to still try his best to compete for the position of the head of the family, so now I want to take action against them." ā
Ren Bo said: "Is it too late to act?"
Lu Tianxing said: "It's not too late at all, and I'm very confident that I can win this fight." When he said this, Lu Tianxing's eyes were full of confidence, as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't do.
Renbo shook his head and said: "It seems that I was wrong, the old eyes are dizzy, I saw the wrong person, now I think Tianxing has a better chance of winning, your wisdom should be compared with what the master has, alas, everything is too late, I should be on the road!"
