Chapter 27: Cutting Corners
"What the head of the family said is very true!"
"Old decay agrees!"
“……!”
When the elders of the Lu family heard this, the smiles on their faces suddenly narrowed a little, and they each sat down on the seats on both sides of the hall.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, walked to the main seat of the throne without giving in, turned around and sat down slowly, without a trace of a smile on his face, looking at a middle-aged and two young men kneeling in the center of the hall, with their hands tied, and asked angrily: "Do you three know why they tied you here?!" ”
……
Time back to before, on an unknown mountain trail, Lu Yu took his sister to Qingfeng Town on horseback, in order not to miss the main family in the town, Lu Yu also specially chose a nearest path, this road is little known, it is the road where he took the escort team to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in the past.
This road shortens the distance from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to Qingfeng Town, but the price is very bumpy, and it is uncomfortable to sit for a long time.
Lu Rushuang also knew about the arrival of the main family, and she was also worried that her younger brother would miss this opportunity, so she strongly asked Lu Yu to rush back as quickly as possible, which is why the two of them appeared here.
"This road is very close to Qingfeng Town, it will take about two or three hours to get there, but sister, can your body stand it?" Jujube red immediately, Lu Yu asked with some worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry, although your sister has not cultivated, she also exercises on weekdays, which is a bump, but you can't help your sister." Lu Rushuang sat in front, her little face was pale, and she looked a little disgusting, it was obvious that she was lying.
But Lu Rushuang and Lu Yu's temperaments are very similar, they are both very stubborn, with a tendon temper, whatever they say is what, so Lu Yu can't say that he can't move his sister, he can only control the jujube red horse under him a little bit, so that she feels better.
The two sisters and brothers were talking, galloping on horseback, and soon ran half the way, at a low mountain fork, Lu Yu suddenly faintly heard something.
But the voice was too far away from him and very weak, so Lu Yu couldn't really hear it at all, and at this moment, the sister who was in front of Lu Yu suddenly said very seriously: "Xiao Yu, the front...... There seems to be a voice calling for help ahead! ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sister, are you sure?" There are generally no people coming to this road. ”
"Sure!"
Lu Rushuang nodded affirmatively and said, "Although I can't see anything, my ears are very smart, not only is there a cry for help in front of me, it seems that there are still a lot of people, they are coming to us!" ”
"Quite a few people are coming to us?" Lu Yu frowned slightly, and already believed in what his sister said in his heart.
But his current business is to rush back to Qingfeng Town as soon as possible, and he can't delay too long because of other things, otherwise he will miss the people of the main family.
And even if he wanted to change his course now, he couldn't, because there was no other way.
Lu Rushuang also guessed Lu Yu's embarrassment, and proposed: "Xiao Yu, why don't you let Zao Hongma take me back from the road, and you can go over directly?" ”
"No!"
Lu Yu vetoed this proposal and said, "This distance is so far, sister, you go back alone, and you can't see it, it's very dangerous,"
"But what if you go straight to the past and be stopped, and you are delayed?" Lu Rushuang asked softly.
"Kill those who stand in my way!"
Lu Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, he reached out and tugged on the reins, clamped his legs and said, "Drive!" ”
Sigh!!
The jujube red horse raised its head and neighed, carried the two sisters and brothers of Lu Yu, and galloped forward with the horse's hooves.
At the beginning of the day, on the inaccessible mountain path, a young man dressed in tattered animal skin armor and covered in blood, holding his bleeding lower abdomen with his hands, stumbled along the road.
Behind him, the sound of stumbling footsteps was getting closer and closer, rapidly approaching.
The boy's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth, driving his legs that were getting heavier and heavier, and strode forward with great difficulty.
However, the injuries on his body were too serious, and he had already walked more than 100 miles with injuries, but in the end he couldn't support it, his feet were weak, and he fell into the mud in front of him.
At this moment, seven or eight young children of the Lu family, wearing the uniforms of the Lu family's law enforcement team, appeared with a murderous face with steel knives in their hands.
The man at the head of the crowd spotted the boy who had fallen into the mud at a glance, and with a wave of his hand, he rushed over with a group of people.
Boom!
The man at the head just came to the young man's side and kicked the young man mercilessly: "Lu Hao, aren't you quite capable of running?" Why don't you run now? Yes? Why didn't you run away......?! ”
The more the man in the lead talked, the more angry he became, the kick he had kicked before was not enough to vent his anger, and he wanted to kick the young man again.
At this time, a follower hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Hai, the head of the family said, this kid wants to go back alive, we can't be too ruthless......"
"Are you the squad leader or am I the squad leader?" The young man known as Brother Hai squinted at the other party and said.
"Of course it's Brother Hai......" the attendant said without hesitation.
"Since I'm the team leader, then I'll listen to things, and I'll be responsible for anything that happens!" Brother Hai's expression slowed down, and he said undoubtedly.
"Yes!" The attendant did not dare to refute at all.
"This Lu Hao, who relies on himself to be a member of the escort team on weekdays, has the escort team to support him, and has never taken the people of our law enforcement team into his eyes, and he deserves to end up today!"
Brother Hai's eyes turned and fell on Lu Hao, who had less air in than out, and said, "Even if this kid dies now, it will be in vain, will the above still blame me?!" ”
"That's right! Brother Hai, who are you, the captain of the law enforcement team, can Lu Hao be a traitor compared to Brother Shanghai? ”
"Compare this Lu Hao with Brother Hai, that is to insult Brother Hai!"
"Isn't it?!"
“……!”
Except for the attendant who spoke at the beginning, who didn't speak, everyone else watched coldly, their expressions and words full of sarcasm.
"Okay, don't talk about that useless nonsense, you, go and solve this kid, and after that, we'll go back to the town to watch the play, and look at the appearance of those usually high-minded and invincible escorts, it's exciting to think about it!" Brother Hai urged.
"Yes, Brother Hai!" Although the follower felt that it was a bit inappropriate to disobey the will of the head of the family, his current boss was Brother Hai, so he naturally wanted to listen to Brother Hai.
After speaking, the attendant had a cold face, and walked over to the seriously injured Lu Hao with a big knife, and raised the butcher knife in his hand.
“……!” Lu Hao, who was dying, was gurgling and spitting blood foam in his mouth, his eyes were desperate, and his pale face was hideous, revealing a trace of unwillingness!
"You can't blame me for this, if you want to blame it, you are a member of the escort team, go and die!" A grim look appeared on the follower's face, and he snorted and slashed off his head.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a gray light was the first to grab people, galloping from a distance!
