In the Lu Mansion,

As time passed, and the singing and dancing gradually retreated, the banquet also came to an end.

"Hiccup!"

Liu Yi, who was full of alcohol, burped and shook his head a little dizzy,

Then he said to the head of the Lu family, who was also full of drunkenness:

"Hehe, Brother Lu is really good at drinking, but it's a pity that my brother is not strong enough to drink, I really can't drink it!"

Hearing this, the head of the Lu family was full of disbelief, and his tone was even more angry and said:

"Brother Liu, you are a mountain opener! The amount of wine is all over the sea, this is how much, isn't it not to give face to my brother!"

And at this moment, Liu Yi was indeed a little drunk, where could he hear the meaning of the head of the Lu family to force wine, but he staggered and stood up.

Seeing this, a maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help, and then stood up steadily.

Holding the maid, Liu Yi's hands and feet began to be a little dishonest, and his mouth was full of wine.

"Hehe, where is the little lady!"

"Looks so standard, are you married?"

「……！」

The head of the Lu family looked at Liu Yi, who was babbling nonsense, and understood that the other party was already drunk.

So, he waved his hand and motioned to the maid to take Liu Yi down.

soon

Liu Yi was helped out by the two maids, and from time to time there were some drunken mantras, but they were getting farther and farther away.

In order to accompany Liu Yi tonight, the head of the Lu family also drank a lot, stood up and walked to the door,

As soon as the night breeze blew, I suddenly felt a little dizzy and dazzling, and I couldn't help but cheer up, and I was planning to go back to rest.

That's when it happened.

"Master, this is the package of that Liu Darthead!"

Then a maid came to the front with a bulging package, and whispered.

Hearing this, the head of the Lu family glanced at it casually, and was about to say that he would send it to Liu Yi.

Suddenly, the whole person was stunned, and then his face changed greatly, and the wine woke up in an instant, and bursts of coldness continued to spread on his body.

Because, he saw a familiar color, and the inside of the package revealed a white corner.

until

"Sir! Do you want to send things to Liu Darthead?"

The maid saw that her master was stunned and didn't speak, and thought that she had drunk too much and didn't hear her words, so she said cautiously again,

"Whew! ……」

The head of the Lu family exhaled heavily, and then ignored the maid's surprise, but opened the package with a nervous expression, revealing the white jade box inside.

The palm of the hand was placed on it, and suddenly a warmth came from the palm of the hand, which was a rare jade box made of warm jade, which looked like a complete body from the outside.

However, there was no trace of warmth in the heart of the head of the Lu family, and there was only endless fear, which continued to spread in his body.

After a while, the expression of the head of the Lu family changed, and finally gritted his teeth, opened the jade box, and saw that it was really empty.

So, a little unwillingly said:

"Go, call Madame, Miss and Childe to me!

Besides, butler, go pack up for me, I'm going to leave for Tianwu City overnight!"

With an order, the Lu family's mansion, which was already a little quiet in the middle of the night, instantly became lively again. ….

soon

"Daddy! What's going on? So anxious to get us up!"

Lu Hui, the son of the head of the Lu family, was the first to come to the lobby and asked with a puzzled face.

After speaking, his expression moved, and he whispered with a nervous face:

"Dad, isn't it the city lord of the Northern Wilderness City, who won't stop when he gets something! and trouble us."

"No!"

The head of the Lu family sat on the chair with a tired face, and slowly shook his head, which made Lu Hui's expression relaxed.

"Whew! That's good, I thought they were going to ......!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Hui suddenly stopped talking, but looked at his father with an uncertain expression.

Without waiting for him to ask, he heard the head of the Lu family say with a sad expression:

"Alas, it's your grandfather who is critically ill! You want us to go overnight and see each other for the last time!"

After speaking, his expression was straight, and then he instructed his son Lu Hui:

"Time is urgent, you take someone to the city gate first, spend some silver to make a point, and your mother and I will set off in half an hour!"

Then, staring at his son with a stern expression, he said coldly:

"Tonight, we must go out of town!"

"Ah! Yes, Daddy!"

"I'll go!"

Lu Hui was a little furious by his father's eyes, and hurriedly agreed.

Then he hurried a few servants and ran out into the middle of the night.

The head of the Lu family sat quietly on the chairs in the lobby one by one, looking at the busy subordinates in the mansion with blank eyes.

The palm of his hand was placed on the jade box, constantly rubbing, and he felt bursts of warmth coming.

suddenly

The eyes of the head of the Lu family suddenly became firm, and he shouted loudly outside:

"Someone! Go and bring me the mountain sword Liu Yi as well, and set off for Tianwu City with us!"

After speaking, he looked at the one hundred taels of gold on the table, and said with a low smile:

"By the way, aren't you a dart master? A dart worth a hundred taels of gold, it's up to you to take it or not!"

……

It took a lot of tossing, but it was finally ready.

At the entrance of the Lu Mansion,

Three carriages, a dozen servants, and a few horses, carrying torches, lit up the night sky around them.

The head of the Lu family sat on the carriage and glanced at the mansion where he had lived for many years with a complicated expression, and there was some reluctance in his eyes.

However, he could only say ruthlessly:

"Let's go!"

As the voice of the head of the Lu family fell,

"Drive!" The servant led the horse and scolded in a low voice, and the carriage moved slowly.

The night is quiet, and the silence makes people feel a little frightened.

Liuye City is not large, but it is a small city near the border of the empire, and it has developed somewhat by relying on the trade outside the border, mainly providing a resting place for passing merchants and pedestrians.

Soon the procession of carriages came to the city gates,

The head of the Lu family opened the curtain of the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw that the city gate was ajar, revealing a passage for carriages to pass through.

Without words, he let the servant lead the carriage and continue to walk, and passed through the city gate quietly, giving the head of the Lu family and everyone a sigh of relief.

And beyond the city gates,

Lu Hui was taking his servants, holding torches, waiting eagerly.

"Daddy! It's okay!"

When Lu Hui saw his father's carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked. ….

"No problem!"

Shaking his head, the head of the Lu family said with a somewhat tired expression.

Then, looking at the dark night in front of him, he turned his head to look at his only son, his eyes were full of complexity,

But in the end, he said in a deep voice:

"The carriage is too slow, but my body can't be too bumpy,

Therefore, you take two servants first, ride first, and strive to reach Tianwu City before sunset tomorrow!"

After speaking, he took out a milky white jade pendant from his body and a sealed envelope.

"After arriving, give this jade pendant and letter to your uncle, and he will arrange things!"

Hearing that he let himself go first, Lu Hui, who was full of doubts, couldn't help but speak:

"Dad, you're in too much of a hurry!"

Seeing that his son dared to speak out, the head of the Lu family immediately scolded angrily:

"What do you know, rebel!"

After scolding, he may feel that his tone is a little heavy, so he slowed down his tone before patiently saying:

"If your grandfather goes, he will leave a lot of family property, and you can't let your uncle's family swallow it all!

With your uncle's support, the two of us can also get a piece of the pie!

This is stronger than you and me working hard for a lifetime in this little Willow Leaf City!"

Hearing this, Lu Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but show a hint of greed when he thought of his grandfather's Wucheng Nuoda family property that day.

So, without too much nonsense, he took the letter and the jade pendant, immediately turned over his horse, and said loudly:

"Dad, don't worry! Before noon tomorrow, I will definitely arrive at Tianwu City and see Uncle!"

After speaking, he shouted:

"Drive!" , slammed the whip and struck the horse underneath on the buttocks.

Soon, Lu Hui rode away and disappeared into the vast night with his two servants.

Suddenly, there was a sound of doubt in the carriage:

"Dad, I remember you said before, didn't we split up? The city of willow leaves is the property that has been given to us,

Tianwu City was left to the uncle and uncle, and there was not much property!

After so many years, it's not as good as the development of our Willow Leaf City!"

It was the daughter of the head of the Lu family who spoke, and she was obviously quite clear about her family's situation.

Hearing this, the head of the Lu family had no words, only endless exhaustion and panic on his face.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he said:

"Everyone, let's go!"

Chivalrous and fearless
