At the beginning of the Gaozu Rebellion a thousand years ago, he received help from twelve families in Shuozhou.

And thanks to the help of these twelve families, Emperor Gaozu was able to have the capital to gain a foothold in the troubled times later.

After the establishment of the country, the capital of Yindu, these twelve families were also given the name of the family by the ancestors because of the funding in the early years, and promised that as long as the great feng does not fall, the name of the family can be passed on forever; And this is the famous Twelfth Family.

However, with the passage of time, the glory of the Twelfth Family is long gone, and the original Twelve Families have been passed down from generation to generation.

Now the Zhong family is still worthy of the name of the family, and the other eleven families have been lost in the ocean of time, and the Lu family where Lu Yi is located is even more so.

As one of the 12th families, the Lu family had the same scenery in the early years, especially during the reign of Sejong, there was also a generation of famous generals Lu Ying, but it is a pity that when the Lu family passed to Lu Yi's grandfather, it was already in the middle of the family and dilapidated.

Lu Yi's grandfather was a good gambler, and all his family savings were mortgaged to the gambling house, and finally lost all of them, Lu Yi's grandmother was forced to leave the Lu family in order to avoid creditors, and raised Lu Yi's father alone, because of malnutrition and fatigue during pregnancy, Lu Yi's father was weak, and died of illness shortly after Lu Yi's sister was born.

Fortunately, after Lu Yi was born, he met a great sage of a peasant family who traveled all over the world, passed by the door of Lu Yi's house, fell in love with Lu Yi at a glance, accepted him as a disciple, and brought him back to Cuilin Villa.

In the year of Lu Yi and the crown, his sister wrote a letter, saying that his mother died of illness, and Lu Yi was forced to return to his hometown.

He chose the latter among his future and his sister, and after selling his property to pay off his family's debts, he left Shuozhou with his sister and came to Zhongzhou to make a living.

Dafeng is martial, Lu Yi is profound, good at hard bows, it is not difficult to find a job that can make a living, but this is not the case, Lu Yi ran into walls everywhere, and finally in desperation, he came to Yindu under the guidance of a young Taoist wearing a lotus crown.

However, on the first day, it seemed that he was a little unfavorable, and he inexplicably met a rich boy named Ning Xiaochuan, and he seemed to have seen his hidden martial arts.

Lu Yi stopped, and his sister held his hand stiffly, as if she wanted to tell him not to be impulsive, and it was because of his impulsiveness last time that they were reduced to this.

The spring breeze is warm, blowing the new leaves of the locust trees on the street and swaying, like the sound of turning a book.

Ning Xiaochuan walked up to the man, smiled leisurely, put the one hundred taels of silver tickets back into the money bag, and then stared straight at Lu Yi's gaze, and said, "If you still want to be a street performer, but it's okay to go; If you don't want to, come with me. ”

Lu Yi stared at Ning Xiaochuan, holding a hard bow in his left hand, looked sideways at his sister who was staring at his moist eyes next to him, and sighed softly, "I'll go with you." ”

Ning Xiaochuan smiled proudly, as if he had a sense of pleasure, only to see him look at the girl beside Lu Yi, and the girl cowardly hid behind Lu Yi, "Come on." ”

Ning Xiaochuan took Lu Yi and Lu Xiang's brothers and sisters to Wen Zhaomin's mansion, the courtyard door opened, and Wen Zhaomin, who heard the sound, walked out quickly, thinking that Ning Xiaochuan had left something.

Lu Yi pulled Lu Xiang into the courtyard cautiously, this was the first time they had entered the mansion of a big family in Yindu, rockery streams, pavilions and pavilions, many times better than the one they had treated before.

The little girl looked at Wen Zhaomin in front of her timidly, but looking at the beautiful Wen Zhaomin, the little girl couldn't help but be fascinated, is this the girl from Yindu? It's too pretty, better than the village flowers in their village.

Wen Zhaomin saluted, Lu Yi hurriedly gave up his hand, and after seeing Wen Zhaomin, he instantly felt a little ashamed, "Lu Yi in Hexi, Shuozhou, I have seen Mrs. ”

"Ahem...... Ning Xiaochuan coughed violently twice, and hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, not Madame, not Madame." ”

Wen Zhaomin smiled bitterly and didn't explain, "I'll prepare tea." ”

With that, he left on his own.

Lu Yi sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, it was strange to say, this chair was not hot, but he just couldn't sit still, Ning Xiaochuan also saw the uneasiness in Lu Yi's heart, and arched his hand and said, "My name is Ning Xiaochuan, the waiter of the Great Fengli Department, I just heard you say, your name is Lu Yi, right?" ”

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ning Xiaochuan again with a different gaze, originally he only thought that Ning Xiaochuan was an ordinary young master, but he didn't expect that he was still a third-grade official in Yindu, Lu Yi said, "Yes, this is my sister, Lu Xiang." ”

The woman blinked her eyes and whispered, "I've seen Lord Ning." ”

"You don't need to call me Lord Ning, just call me Gongzi like them, it's more comfortable than adults."

Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile, and at the same time looked at the refreshments on the table, motioning for the girl to taste it, Lu Xiang looked at Lu Yi, and after getting the affirmative look from his brother, he stretched out his black and thin hand and took a small piece.

"Young Master Ning, I don't know why you came to me?" Lu Yi frowned and said, although Ning Xiaochuan's behavior was very polite to him, he also knew that there was no such thing as pies falling from the sky, and the pastries in Lu Xiang's hands were by no means taken for nothing.

Ning Xiaochuan got up and said with a smile, quite the temperament of a noble son of Yushu Linfeng, "Brother Lu, I just saw that your skills are extraordinary, and Young Master Ben is very interested in you, so how about we gamble." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yi said unexpectedly, "Bet on what?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan waved his hand, and Nie Hongyi next to him removed all the pastry books on the stone table, and after a while, Wen Zhaomin came over with tea, looking at the table so clean, and also showed a puzzled look.

Ning Xiaochuan casually put a teacup filled with water in the center of the stone table, and looked at Lu Yi with a smile, "Just this cup of water, now this cup of water is in the center of the table, you and I will test your true qi, if you can win me, I will let your sister live here, and arrange a good errand for you, if you don't win, then I'm sorry, you not only have to leave your sister behind, but also hand over the curved bow in your hand." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiang was frightened, the pastry in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and then quickly hid behind Lu Yi, Lu Yi's face changed suddenly, and he got up and shouted angrily, "Lord Ning, I am just a poor person, I dare not climb Lord Ning's jade branch, I will not accompany you, and I will leave." ”

After saying that, Lu Yi was about to take Lu Xiang away, Nie Hongyi directly drew his sword and pressed it against Lu Yi's shoulder, "Did the son let you go?" ”

Lu Yi's eyes were cold, his fists were clenched, and he said in a deep voice, "What is Lord Ning doing here?" ”

"What to do, what to do, put away the sword." Ning Xiaochuan scolded in a deep voice, Nie Hongyi slowly withdrew the long sword, and Ning Xiaochuan sighed, "Brother Lu, do you think I don't have enough chips?" Then you open your mouth, I can add it. ”

"I, Lu Yi, once swore in front of my mother's grave that I would never let my little sister be in danger, Lord Ning asked me to use my little sister as a bet today, I'm sorry, Lu Yi can't do it." After that, Lu Yi was leaving.

"Bang." Ning Xiaochuan smashed the stone table in front of him with one palm, full of momentum, which frightened Wen Zhaomin and retreated again and again.

"Okay, then let's change the method, if you can get out of this gate in half an hour, I'll give you money to let you go, if you don't go out, then you and your sister stay here, how about it?" Ning Xiaochuan said loudly, "Brother Lu, this is already my biggest concession, please don't live up to my wishes." ”

Lu Yi roared in a muffled voice, and the true qi under his feet instantly shook a ripple, and dust and smoke rose for a while.

Ning Xiaochuan directly dodged and leaped to the gate, twisted the new leaves of the locust tree in front of him with his right hand, and laughed softly, "Let's do it." ”

Lu Yi's figure flickered, and the longbow behind him was thrown out violently, and for a while, the blue light rippled on the longbow's body, full of momentum, Ning Xiaochuan said secretly, sure enough, he was a top-grade master.

Ning Xiaochuan's pupils contracted violently, and he quickly lucked, and his fists blasted out several punches in the air, and the golden true qi hit Lu Yi's rigid bow, making bursts of explosions, and the two true qis, one gold and one green, collided violently, and each collision would make Lu Yi take a step forward.

Seeing that Lu Yi was about to appear in front of Ning Xiaochuan with a curved bow, Ning Xiaochuan swiped at his feet, slashed to the right, dodged Lu Yi's heavy blow, and then blasted out with his right fist and smashed into Lu Yi's waist, Lu Yi retreated in pain.

Lu Yi's eyes were furrowed, it seemed that he had underestimated this squire again, the strength of this punch was not light, but in order to be able to take his sister out of here, Lu Yi would rush out even if he gave up his life.

The bow in his hand trembled, and the cowhide on it slowly fell off, revealing an old bow like an ancient pine, and at both ends of the bow and arrows, there were short daggers emerging from them, and the short daggers were extremely sharp.

Lu Yi tapped lightly with his right finger, the bowstring fell off, and the bow and arrow seemed to be organized, and the bowstring was directly retracted into the bow body, revealing only half the size of a finger, and Lu Yi twisted the bow body, and in Ning Xiaochuan's incredible gaze, a thousand catties bent the bow and instantly turned into two short halberds.

Lu Yi brandished his halberd and shouted in a deep voice, "Offended." ”

The blue light is rippling, and the true qi is rolling in mid-air, as if there is a heavenly and human help, and the qi is rolling Huan Lei.

Ning Xiaochuan swung out his right fist, the golden light rippled, and he played a dazzling set of punches, and then he swung his breath and smashed it head-on, colliding with the true qi stirred by the double halberds in front of him.

Seeing this, Nie Hongyi hurriedly used his true qi to protect Wen Zhaomin and Lu Xiang, for fear that the two of them would be affected by his true qi.

After a muffled sound, the true qi dissipated, Ning Xiaochuan took a few steps back to stabilize his figure, while Lu Yi re-pretended the halberd into a curved bow, looked at Ning Xiaochuan with heavy eyebrows, Ning Xiaochuan's left arm trembled slightly, and said with emotion, "The half-step spirit is powerful." ”

"Lord Ning, you are not Xiaomin's opponent, please get out of the way quickly." Lu Yi arched his hand, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very proud of the opportunity he won by relying on his strength.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled, withdrew his gas machine and clapped his hands, bowed his head back, and made a gesture of please, "Please." ”

Lu Yi took Lu Xiang's hand and turned around and left, but just as the two of them walked to the door, Ning Xiaochuan suddenly shouted, "Stop, it's time, Brother Lu, you lost." ”

"What?" Lu Yi was stunned in place, and then Ning Xiaochuan pointed to the sundial next to him, indeed, half an hour had passed.

"You...... I'll beat you......" Lu Yi was lucky again, and seemed to be unconvinced.

Ning Xiaochuan walked over and laughed loudly, "In Yindu, strength doesn't determine everything, if you don't care about me at the beginning and rush out of the door, then you will definitely win, I can't stop you."

But you want to have two tricks with me, but you delayed the time, before that, Young Master Ben said very clearly, half an hour, leave here, you go, otherwise, you have to stay. ”

Lu Yi had a feeling that he had been tricked and he was still helping others count the money, he was furious for a while, and his true anger was unstoppable, Ning Xiaochuan was not afraid at all and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lu, don't worry, before you get angry, don't you want to know what Young Master Ben asked you to stay for?" Or, what kind of future will Young Master Ben give you to restore the glory of the 12th family of the Lu family. ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ning Xiaochuan incredulously, "How do you know the Lu family's ......?"
