Chapter 2: The Inner Ghost
The dripping raindrops hit Lin Ying's face, and he woke up.
Lin Ying is young, he is already a martial disciple at the age of twenty, and this kind of cultivation is one of the best existences in the entire Qingfeng Town. If it weren't for his humble background, I'm afraid that in this Qingfeng Town, he would already be a figure with a head and a face.
Fortunately, the Lu family, the big family in the town, took him in, so that he also had a place to show his strength. The twenty-year-old martial apprentice Seventh Stage, Ling Lin Ying had already sat in the position of the head of the Lu family's guards at this age.
However, just as he was sitting in this position, ready to make a big splash and realize his ambitions, he received a task.
Besiege and kill the eldest young master of the Su family, Su Fan.
Originally, the other party was only the strength of the third stage of the martial apprentice, and it was not worth Lin Ying's own hands, but the latter's cautious personality made him personally lead the Lu family and horses in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.
They want to be unaware of the ghosts and make Su Fan die, but they don't let others know that their Lu family did it.
In fact, Lin Ying has succeeded in general, to be exact, half the success.
No one expected that the latter would come back from the dead when he was already dead, and have incredible combat power.
Su Fan, who was in the third stage of martial apprentices, was able to kill more than a dozen martial disciples of the same level in an instant, and in the final battle with Lin Ying, he also won the victory.
"Is this true?" Lin Ying said in disbelief, her voice a little dry.
The rain soaked his lips, causing him to slowly come back to his senses, and slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar figure suddenly entered his eyes.
"Are you awake?" The one who spoke was none other than Su Fan, who had defeated him before, on the immature face that was harmless to humans and animals, the smile at this time made Lin Ying feel a palpitation.
"You didn't kill you?" Lin Ying looked at Su Fan, who looked a little feminine, but was a little shocked at this time.
"You are dead, from now on, you change your name and come to my Su family. Su Fan smiled kindly.
Not to mention Lin Ying's outstanding talent, just the article of "I'd rather die than give in" is already worthy of Su Fan to recruit him.
Su Fan, who has the memory of the original body, it is not difficult to know that this Lin Ying is the henchman of the Lu family, and the foundation of the Lu family in the future, although it will not be handed over to him, an outsider, to take care of it, but with his talent, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the future head of the Lu family.
It is precisely because of his unyielding character and good talent that Su Fan will open up to him.
"Do you want me Lin Ying to betray the Lu family?" Lin Ying looked at Su Fan coldly, after recovering a little bit of his senses, he naturally wouldn't compromise so easily.
However, Su Fan only shook his head lightly, still with that peaceful smile on his face, and said, "I said, Lin Ying is dead." I can defeat you with the strength of the third stage of the martial apprentice, but I don't kill you, it is to give you a chance to mend your ways. Think about what the Lu family usually does, they are tyrannical, murderous and robber, is it worth your loyalty to them?"
"You decide for yourself, if you are willing to come to our Su family, from now on, your name will be Su Ying, and you will be the head of the guard of our Su family. After saying that, Su Quan ignored it and turned around and left the forest.
The rain swept across Lin Ying's face, and after a difficult decision, his footsteps finally moved and followed behind Su Fan.
And hearing the footsteps that followed behind him, Su Fan's immature face also inadvertently touched a smile.
......
On the same day, Qingfeng Town, Lu's house.
"Hehe, Patriarch Zhong came to visit today, Lu Mou missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins. Above the main hall of the Lu family, a white-haired old man in gorgeous clothes bowed his hand to the visitor with a smile on his face and said apologetically.
The person who came was dressed in a golden brocade robe, equally gorgeous, handsome, upright and prime, after hearing the old man's words, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Where is the old man Lu, the junior Zhong Lin took the liberty to come, and I hope that the old man Lu will not be surprised." ”
"Hey, sit down, sit down. Helping Zhong Lin to sit down, the white-haired old man sat down on the main seat leisurely, and said to the handsome middle-aged man with a smile: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know why Patriarch Zhong came here this time?"
Since Old Man Lu asked, Zhong went straight to the point. This time I came here for the marriage of the little girl. ”
"Oh?" The white eyebrows moved slightly, and Old Man Lu smiled: "How old is that child Ling'er this year?"
"The little girl is twenty-eight years old, and she is the year of her upright marriage. Young Master Lu of the Mansion is a talent, only eighteen years old, he is already a martial apprentice in the fifth stage, and with time, it is not a problem to break through the martial apprentice and become a martial artist. Patriarch Zhong said with admiration.
"Hehe, Patriarch Zhong is too modest, your family Ling'er is not bad, it seems that he has also broken through to the fourth stage of martial arts, and he is still two years younger than Cheng'er, his future is really limitless. Old man Lu said with a hearty smile, the Cheng'er in his mouth is naturally the junior of the Lu family, his grandson Lu Shuang, Lu Cheng.
"Old man Lu has won the award, since this is the case, it is better to win the championship in Qingfeng Town, and when Cheng'er wins the championship, we will announce the good news. In this way, it is a double happiness, old man, what do you think?" Zhong Lin proposed.
"Since the championship is the participation of the younger generation of young people, with the strength of my Cheng'er Martial Disciple Fifth Stage, it is naturally a sure victory to win the championship. In this way, the beauty with the hero is naturally convincing to the people in the town. Lu Shuang swore authentically.
"It's so good, and there's something important to do next, so I won't bother anymore. Zhong Lin saw that Lu Shuang agreed, so he got up and saluted back, preparing to leave.
Stomp, stomp!
At this moment, a guard ran into the main hall with an impatient face, and was about to make a statement, but after seeing Zhong Lin's figure, he was slightly stunned, and then quietly ran to Lu Shuang's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Lu Shuang originally had a hearty smile, but after hearing the guard's words, his complexion changed suddenly.
Bang!
With an explosion, the table in front of Lu Shuang was instantly shattered in half by his palm.
"Old man Lu, why are you so worried?" Zhong Lin turned around and looked at Lu Shuang.
"Some family trivialities, don't spare Patriarch Zhong to bother. On Lu Shuang's old face, a wry smile appeared reluctantly. Although he is already half a family member of the Zhong family, the assassination of Su Fan cannot be casually revealed to Zhong Lin for the time being.
Lu Shuang also understands that although the latter is honest on the surface, he is an old fox, if the assassination of Su Fan is known by the other party, I am afraid that some tricks will fall into the hands of the other party.
Hearing Lu Shuang's words, Zhong Lin didn't get too entangled, just arched his hand and said, "If there is anything that Zhong can do, Old Man Lu can just tell him." Then, Zhong will retire. ”
"Okay, the Lu family is entangled in trivial matters, and the old decay will not be far away. Come, send off. At that moment, a subordinate respectfully stepped out of the queue and came to Zhong Lin's side.
Zhong Lin didn't say anything, and walked out of the main hall with the next person.
When Zhong Lin's figure completely disappeared into the Lu Mansion, Lu Shuang's face became a little cloudy again.
"All thirty-six guards are dead, and Chief Lin is nowhere to be found?" Looking at the guards who came to report the news, Lu Shuang raised his eyebrows and confirmed.
The guard nodded, not daring to say more.
"How did you die?" Although it was something that Lu Cheng ordered to do, but with such a large force, Lu Shuang naturally knew some of the reasons. If it was really just an ambush for that Su Fan, it would definitely not end like this. There must be something strange in this.
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, the deputy chief manager died of ulceration of internal organs." Half of the rest of the guards died under the claws, and half of their skulls were shattered by the force of their palms..."
"Huh?" Such a strange way of dying, although it is impossible to find out who the murderer is, but the experienced Lu Shuang was also convinced at the first time.
It is not the beasts of the forest that do it, but man-made.
With such a uniform way of dying, I am afraid that the murderer does not kill people often, which leads to leaving such obvious clues.
"Su Fan, it's impossible, that kid is a martial apprentice in the third stage, and he doesn't have that kind of means. Could it be that our plan was known by the Su family, but we were ambushed by them?" After some inference, Lu Shuang quickly made a judgment - the Lu family had an internal ghost.
Otherwise, how could such a strict plan be known to the Su family?
But... Who will be the inner ghost?
The only people who knew about this matter were himself and Lu Cheng, as well as the thirty-six guards led by Lin Ying. But these guards, without exception, were killed...
Wait a minute!
There was one more person who didn't die.
Lu Shuang's slightly old eyes suddenly lit up.
"You just said Lin Ying, where did you go?" Lu Shuang's white beard trembled slightly.
"Mr. Lin took care of him, he was nowhere to be seen, and his body was not seen. The guard didn't know the changes in Lu Shuang's heart at the moment, and just reported it truthfully.
"Sure enough, it's him, Lin Ying, my Lu family treats you well, you're good! It's so good!" Lu Shuang was so angry that he trembled all over, and was about to have a seizure, but he found that the table in front of him had been smashed by him before, so he could only secretly pinch his fists, and his old face was also a little bloody because of anger.
