The man walking in front was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, tall, with broad shoulders, a circle of stubble on his resolute face, with a hint of vicissitudes, and a pair of deep eyes flashing with wisdom, and at this moment, these eyes were flashing with strong affection.

The middle-aged man walked quickly in front of Lu Hao, and then hugged him tightly into his arms, refusing to let go for a long time.

The middle-aged man hugged him so hard that Lu Hao was almost out of breath, but at the same time, he also deeply felt the other party's care and love for him.

"Dad!" Lu Hao had already recognized this person as his father, Lu Tianxing, the current head of the Lu family.

The moment he first saw Lu Tianxing, Lu Hao was stunned, because his soul was not Lu Hao himself, but this body was Lu Hao's, and he had an indelible blood relationship with Lu Tianxing.

"My good son, let my father take a good look at you, well, yes, you have grown a lot taller. Lu Tianxing let go of Lu Hao and looked at Lu Hao carefully, his eyes were full of joy and appreciation.

"Second brother!" At this time, the young man beside Lu Tianxing spoke.

This young man's appearance is five or six points similar to Lu Hao, and it is Lu Yun, the eldest brother who is two years older than Lu Hao.

"Big brother. Lu Hao also called affectionately.

"Haha, today is the day of the reunion of our father and son, such a day is not easy, let's go, dad will prepare a table of wine and food, let's have a reunion dinner." Lu Tianxing said happily.

Soon, Lu Tianxing was in a warm room, and there was a table of wine and food, and the father and son ate and drank happily.

"Hao'er, your cultivation has broken through to the True Qi Realm, so the blocked meridians in your body have been opened up by you?"

Lu Hao nodded, and then roughly said everything he had encountered in the Nanling Sword Sect in the past three years, from the first two years of hard years, to everything that happened recently, including the conflict between him and the Hong Gang and the Hong family, participating in the three levels of the entry to win the Sutra Washing Pill, going to the Youlan Mountain Range to practice, exterminating the Qing Killing Gang, and later returning to the Nanling Sword Sect and winning the first place in the Outer Disciple Competition.

Although Lu Hao used a flat and straightforward narrative, both Lu Tianxing and Lu Yun could experience the danger and crisis at that time from Lu Hao's words, and they couldn't help but sweat for him.

"Okay, good, good! My son of Lu Tianxing is really outstanding, Hao'er, dad is proud of you. Lu Tianxing said three good words in a row, he seemed very happy, and drank three cups in succession.

After three rounds of drinking, the faces of the three of them were a little flushed.

Lu Yun suddenly said: "Dad, now the second brother is almost sixteen, and he is also an elite disciple among the outer disciples of the Nanling Sword Sect, can that let him know about the things in the family?"

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing's face turned solemn, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Hao'er is no longer a child, and now she has grown up and matured, now let me talk about the situation of our Lu family, in fact, as early as more than three years ago, there were many crises in our Lu family......"

Subsequently, Lu Tianxing told Lu Hao about the current situation and various difficulties of the Lu family, and also made Lu Hao deeply understand that in this big family, his father and elder brother were actually not easier than he was in the Nanling Sword Sect.

The Lu family can now be said to be an internal and external trouble, the biggest external trouble is a bandit force called Black Wind Village outside the city, this force is very strong, much stronger than the Blue Killing Gang, has been active in the vicinity of Dragon Elephant City, burning and plundering the property of nearby towns for a long time, until the three major families of Dragon Elephant City jointly funded and established a self-defense army, so the situation is a little better.

However, within Dragon Elephant City, the three major families are not as harmonious as they appear to be, and there are also open and secret fights, and even bloody battles often arise for their own interests.

In the Dragon Elephant City, there are also strong and weak differences between the three major families, the Lu family is the strongest, directly or indirectly controlling fifty percent of the resources and markets in the city, the Chen family is second, controlling thirty percent of the resources and markets in the city, and the Tang family is the weakest to control the resources and markets in the city, and the three major families almost dominate the economic lifeline of the entire city.

The strength of the Lu family is naturally feared by the Chen and Tang families, and they have always been afraid that the Lu family will rely on their strong strength to annex them, so in the open and in the dark, the two families have formed an invisible tacit understanding and united against the Lu family, so that a delicate balance has been reached between the three.

But this delicate balance began to break three years ago, Lu Tianxing's eldest brother Lu Tiangang, that is, Lu Hao's uncle, began to continue to split in the Lu family, controlling his own power, trying to drive Lu Tianxing from the position of head of the family, and even did not hesitate to secretly unite the Chen and Tang families to suppress Lu Tianxing's authority and power.

Now Lu Tianxing not only has to face the pressure of the Chen and Tang families, but also the division within the family.

"Hao'er, three years ago, I sent you to the Nanling Sword Sect, firstly, in the hope that your meridian problems could be cured there, and secondly, because the situation was very chaotic and very dangerous at that time, I sent you there to ensure your safety. Lu Tianxing sighed and said.

Lu Hao nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked, "Then what's the situation in the family now?"

Lu Yun replied: "Now the Lu family is divided into three camps, one is our father, representing the head of the family, the other is the uncle's side, and the other side is the neutral camp, mainly the third uncle's side. ”

"Second brother, you also know that our Lu family army has a total of three major escort teams, of which only one escort team is the most dedicated to his father, the other belongs to the uncle, and the other is led by the third uncle, so in terms of family strength, there is a balance between the three of us. ”

"But over the years, the uncle has been in charge of the family's internal affairs, and the family stewards get along very well, laying a very deep foundation of contacts, especially on the side of the presbyterians, he has won a lot of resources, on the one hand, he does not cooperate with his father's family affairs, on the other hand, he frames his father for dereliction of duty, and does not fulfill the responsibility of the head of the family, and now the presbyterian side has quite prejudiced against the father, and we have a great disadvantage in terms of family support. ”

"Our only advantage is the self-defense defense army of 1,000 men, which is also the most feared force of the uncle, but because the stewards of the grain, grass and weapons are all the uncle's people, now our self-defense defense army is not full of food and sleep, and the weapons that are usually cultivated are all bad, and the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, which is also our biggest headache. ”

Listening to what Lu Yun said, Lu Hao suddenly understood that the Lu family was in the most difficult situation at present, and there was really a big crisis, especially his father, who must be under a lot of pressure.

"Big brother, I think I can solve this problem of weapons and pills a little. Lu Hao said suddenly.

"You?" Lu Tianxing and Lu Yun both showed expressions of disbelief.

Lu Haoxuan immediately told the secret vault left behind by the Green Killing Gang, and took out the key to the secret vault and handed it to Lu Tianxing.

"Haha, great, Hao'er, with this secret vault, the strength of our self-defense defense force must have been greatly improved, without further ado, Yun'er, early tomorrow morning, you will take a team of people to the secret vault of the Green Killing Gang, take out these things, and then store them secretly, remember that everything must be done in secret." Lu Tianxing said with great joy.

"Yes. Lu Yun hurriedly agreed.

This easily solved a difficult problem, and the hearts of the father and son were not as heavy as before.

Subsequently, no one mentioned the things in the family anymore, just chatted about family life and experienced the warmth of the family.

"The head of the house. Just as Lu Hao's father and son were talking happily, a voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in, Renber. "Lu Tianxingdao.

It was an old man who came in, in his sixties, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, always smiling, giving people a very cordial feeling.

"Renbo ......" Lu Hao vaguely remembered the old man in front of him, this old man had been by his side since Lu Hao's grandfather's time, and after his grandfather died, he had been by Lu Tianxing's side, and he was the most loyal servant of the Lu family, and he had taken Lu Hao for a few months.

"Little master. Renbo smiled and touched Lu Hao's head.

"Renbo, what's the matter?" Lu Tianxing was also very polite to Renbo, basically there was no distinction between master and servant.

"Go home, the uncle and the third master already know the news of the little master's return, three days later, there will be ancestor worship in the family, I heard that the uncle seems to have a conspiracy against the little master, in order to achieve the purpose of attacking the authority of the head of the family. Ren Bo replied.

"Hmph, Tiangang is really dizzy, for some of his own interests, regardless of the interests of the entire family, it seems that sooner or later there will be a big change in our Lu family, I just hope that this big change will not leave too much blood." Lu Tianxing's face suddenly changed, from a loving father to a far-sighted head of the family.

"Dad, do you want the second brother not to attend the ancestor worship ceremony, and put an end to the conspiracy of the uncle. Lu Yun said.

"No! The ancestor worship ceremony is the highest activity of the Lu family, how can Hao'er, as my son, not participate, otherwise they will be accused of great rebellion, the ancestor worship ceremony must be participated, if I, Lu Tianxing, can't even protect my own son, then can I still be regarded as a father?"

The few people discussed the specific matters again, and then they dispersed in a hurry.

After returning to the family, Lu Hao only found time to cultivate, and basically talked to Lu Tianxing, the father and son hadn't seen each other for three years, and they really needed to get acquainted with each other.

According to Lu Tianxing's instructions, Lu Yun led a group of people to secretly go to the wooden village of the Green Killing Gang and take out the weapons, pills and belongings of the secret storehouse.

Three days passed almost in a flash, and the Lu family's ancestor worship ceremony officially came.
