Chapter Eighty-Four: An Undercurrent Surges
Du Yunfeng sighed, promoted to the competition again, as long as you are the first place, it is no longer a question of whether you want to go or not, but you have to go. In the face of others, he can simply say this in a dignified tone, but in the face of the Lu family, he must grasp the scale, he is really tired!
Lu Ming clearly knows that to be able to become the first in a city, it will be a talent, since the country has found it, it will not give up, and only when all talents get together will the difference between outstanding talents and geniuses be revealed.
In this way, it can be said that capable talents are poured into each other, leaving the best geniuses, and such people are what the country really wants.
Compared with this kind of selection competition held in the city, it is nothing more than to let the people at the bottom get a benefit and strengthen the centripetal force.
"I see, it seems that we don't want to go, so we can't do it, right?"
Lu Tianlin had been hesitating, and participating again would not only increase his son's danger and possibly delay his cultivation time, but when he saw his son nodding slightly, he agreed: "Okay, let's go." ”
"That's right, as long as you go to the imperial capital to participate, even if you get a junior position, you are still a baron. Du Yunfeng smiled: "It's just that the baron only has a noble title and no fief, if Lingzi goes to the next level, then the time for the Lu family to really soar will come, when the time comes, don't forget to bring your little brother, Brother Lu!"
Seeing that this guy climbed up as he spoke, Lu Tianlin frowned, that is, my Lu family has really become a nobleman with a fief, and I will not pay attention to a snob like you!
"Well said, well said. Lu Tianlin patted Du Yunfeng's slightly lowered shoulder.
After hearing Du Yunfeng finish talking about this, Lu Ming turned around silently and left.
However, only Qing'er saw that the young master turned around, and the corners of his mouth rose, as if to say, since there is such an opportunity, why not take another step?
.................................
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are vast and boundless, and at the foot of the mountain, a small carrier pigeon appears at the foot of the mountain, which is particularly abrupt, it seems to be almost exhausted, but it is still struggling to fly, desperately completing its mission.
Suddenly, a green tendon burst out, and a big and powerful hand grabbed it roughly, and when the figure fell back to the ground, it was found that he had jumped four or five meters high.
However, this gloomy face is Jin Minghao who returned to the Holy Sword Gate with Xue Mei.
After taking out the letter, Jin Minghao casually threw away the carrier pigeon, opened the letter and glanced at it, and his vicious eyes narrowed viciously.
Jin Minghao still didn't believe it, and opened it again and looked at it carefully: "Young Master Jin, the Advanced Noble Conference has ended, and the Lu family has won the first place. I participated in this conference for you, and I didn't even dare to go up to the ring, and I was not a little ashamed to say it, because the Sword Saint of Destruction suddenly appeared in Tiandu City, and he stood behind Lu Ming, and there was no way for anyone. I've done my best, and the commission has been spent, so I take my leave. ”
"I paid you to support Tan Zhongzheng and take the opportunity to kill Lu Ming, but you didn't even dare to go into the ring?
Jin Minghao was stunned and shook his head, it was very difficult to accept this result, and then he jumped up, his hands were about to burst, and he tore the letter into countless pieces: "Waste! Waste! It's all a bunch of fucking waste, rice buckets! I let you kill Lu Ming, won't it be over if you kill him? Ha? There is a Sword Saint of Destruction, and that is also after killing Lu Ming, aren't you fucking professional killers? Waste! It's all fucking waste!"
Xue Mei, who was not far away, saw Jin Minghao furious like crazy, and immediately frowned, walked over, and asked, "What's the matter? As a swordsman, you are so uncontrollable in anger, it really disappoints me." ”
"Senior sister. Hearing Xuemei's reprimand, Jin Minghao quickly calmed down: "Senior sister, don't be angry, here's the thing...... Who would have thought that the killer would not dare to go into the ring?
"That's it. Xue Mei's face was still cold, without the slightest change, secretly thinking that Lu Ming was really lucky with shit, and the Sword Saint of Destruction was able to support him, as far as his strength as a swordsman was concerned, he didn't have such a superb talent as a sword body, it was really shit luck.
Hmph! My injuries are completely lifted, and now my strength is that of a real one-bladed great sword master! Who can compare to me! Who can surpass me? Destroy the Sword Master, it won't be long before you will be trampled under my feet and obediently sacrifice everything you have!
"Don't worry about this kind of thing in the future, there's no point at all, what are you doing with a bed bug? That will only degrade your identity!" Xue Mei reprimanded.
"Yes, Senpai. Jin Minghao replied respectfully, but when he thought that Lu Ming could go to the noble advancement conference again, and he had not yet joined the Holy Sword Gate, he felt very uncomfortable.
"By the way, senior sister, the industry we took from the Lu family, these words are about to shrink, the Lu family's business methods are very strong, I don't know what Lu Tianlin has done, many merchants have been co-opted by his family recently, and they have taken away a large number of our customers accordingly, and they have suffered a lot of losses. ”
Xue Mei frowned and said, "Since this is the case, we will not make money by maintaining our capital and going to fight a business war with the Lu family." ”
"Yes. ”
Xue Mei lifted her chin slightly, and her frosty cheeks drew a sharp curve. My property is all taken from your Lu family, it doesn't matter if you don't make money for the time being, your Lu family doesn't make money, can you do it? You are a businessman! There is a huge business circle to maintain, there are a lot of people to support, and you must be the first one who can't hold on!
When you can't hold it anymore and sell your industry, I'll just make money again! At that time, as long as I wave my hand at will and destroy your Lu family, it will be effortless!
A dying fish that wants to escape from my grasp?
Xue Mei let out a string of proud sneers in her heart, I, Xue Mei, in my swordsman career so far, no matter what I do, I am the first!
As long as it's something I'm involved in, it's all under my control!
"Senior sister, Master Venerable asked me to come to find Senior Sister and discuss something. ”
Not far away, a well-behaved female disciple said respectfully.
"I'll go first, you can cultivate hard. Xue Mei turned around slightly, and her figure was like a cold wind, completely far away.
"Awesome! Even the Sword Saint has to discuss things with her, and it's really Xue Mei, it's really unfathomable!"
Jin Minghao couldn't stop admiring, and suddenly saw the confetti on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Lu Ming, sooner or later, one day, I will definitely kill you!"
........................
Of course, Lu Ming wouldn't know what happened in the Holy Sword Mountain, but even if he knew, he wouldn't bother with it now. He knew very well that after he became truly strong, all the surging undercurrents would be as innocuous as the scene that happened when the Sword Saint of Self-Destruction appeared.
However, Xue Mei's matter is an exception, she still has a lot of Lu family property in her hands now, and if she doesn't take it back as soon as possible, it is really not Lu Ming's surname.
The Lu family put up lanterns and set up a wide range of banquets, and people from all walks of life who came to congratulate were endless, Lu Tianlin didn't care, as long as they came to congratulate, they would have a seat regardless of their identity.
Different from the laughter, it was Lu Ming, who was indifferent as usual, he avoided the flow of people like a tide at the front door, and went out directly through the back door, holding the steel sword in his left hand.
"Let's go. The handsome Ouyang Luo appeared at the corner of the street where the back door was located, and the sword in his arms shook lightly, already explaining the true intention.
Lu Ming nodded, he wanted to kill Chen Bin, no one knew, this guy can be sensitively aware of it, but it is all good killer materials.
The two were indifferent and speechless, so they rushed to the restaurant where Chen Bin temporarily lived.
Before, Lu Ming had already collected the location where Chen Bin had stayed, which was the largest restaurant in the city, Zuiyue Building.
When the two of them arrived at the Drunken Moon Tower, the young man saw that it was Lu Ming, who had won the first place in the noble conference today, and he became even more attentive: "Yo! Young Master Lu, rare guests, what do you command?"
Lu Ming casually threw out a piece of broken silver: "Which room does Chen Bin live in?"
The guy hurriedly nodded and bowed, and then scratched his head with difficulty: "Lord Chen Bin, he has already left, and the room has not retreated, it seems that he is in a hurry, and the time is ...... It should have been an hour. Young Master Lu Ming, do you have anything else you need to do with a small service?"
"It's okay. ”
Seeing Lu Ming and Ouyang Luo turn around and leave, the young man flipped the broken silver in his hand: "I really can't imagine that a loser can become a genius." ”
"This person is very smart, what should I do now?" Ouyang Luo asked after going out.
"Catch up. ”
Lu Ming's tone was calm but very resolute, if he put this guy back, he would definitely turn around and find an opportunity to hide in the shadows and murder himself and his family and friends, so he couldn't stay, he had to catch up and kill him!
Ouyang Luo naturally knew that it was harmful, and he had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in order to avoid future troubles.
"Caravan, let your boss come over. Lu Ming beckoned.
The leader of the caravan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Yo, Lu Dashao, what do you command?"
"Sell me two of your horses, the strongest of them to run." ”
The leader was embarrassed when he heard this, "Lu Dashao, I usually said that this horse will be sent to you, but we just rushed back from Luoyue City, three hundred miles away, today, this goods ......."
"I'm double with the goods, it's all inclusive. Lu Ming grabbed a stack of silver tickets, and threw them away without looking at them.
"Huh?" The leader of the caravan intuitively felt that there were white silver tickets in front of him, falling like snow, and then he woke up, stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, turned around and kicked the young man behind him in the buttocks, and said angrily: "What do you want him!
"Eh, ......" The young man led the two black and shiny horses over: "Lu Dashao, these two horses are preparation horses, look at this meat, it is full of strength." ”
Lu Ming grabbed the saddle and turned over on the horse, his legs clamped the reins of the horse's belly, and the black horse let out a loud neigh, its front hooves were raised high, and its muscles bulged high.
"Okay, that's it. ”
Lu Ming patted the horse's neck, inserted the sword into the leather sword bag on the left side of the saddle, took the whip handed by Ouyang Luo, who had also got on the horse, and gently pumped it, the black horse neighed again, and then spread its hooves and ran away.
Looking at the figures of the two of them leaving quickly, the leader suddenly shouted: "Lu Dashao, these goods ......"
"Give it to your men. Melodious, Lu Ming's voice came.
This nouveau riche ...... Ouyang Luo shook his head.
