The excitement in his heart dissipated, and Lu Yuan looked down at his hands.

Clenched into a fist, it contains explosive power.

"Is this what the Nine Rank Martial Arts feel like..."

Lu Yuan was surprised to find that in addition to his body becoming stronger, his height also seemed to have increased.

The hem of the kaftan that was originally fitting is now showing the ankles.

At the age of thirteen this year, he is 1.75 meters tall, which is considered tall among his peers, and now he is two centimeters taller, and his figure is more slender and straight.

The eastern sky gradually faded into lotus blue, with a hint of fish belly white.

Lu Yuan estimated the time, got up and walked towards the road he had come.

When they returned to the camp of the Lu family's caravan, the wagon full of goods had been pulled away.

"Come back, get on the horse, I'll send you to Chongshan City!"

The black dog rode a white horse with a swarthy complexion that did not match his, fur like snow, and was impatiently scraping the ground.

Lu Yuan turned over and got on his horse, and looked back at the corpses in the camp for the last time, a little dazed.

Not long ago, it was full of laughter and laughter, and in a short time it turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

made Lu Yuangang's sense of security as a formal martial artist disappear a lot inexplicably.

...

The castle is serene in the morning glow, with its blue-grey walls and towering temple minarets looming in the summer air.

City gates.

A tall, thin boy in a dirty robe was staring at the crowd coming in and out in a daze.

"For the sake of a Blood Sea Demon Sutra, is it really worth going back to the Lu family to take the risk?"

Lu Yuan pondered in his heart the danger of this trip.

Now the Lu family is headed by his second uncle Lu Zhiyuan, Lu Zhiyuan is a very ruthless person who is good at using tricks.

Since he took office halfway, it is inevitable that some people in the family will be dissatisfied, and Lu Zhiyuan should not harm him openly for the sake of prestige.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the caravan, so that Zhou Zheng would secretly attack Lu Yuan on the way to the goods.

"I'm afraid that this guy will play yin, in case I go back to Chongshan City the next day, it will be rumored that I have a sudden illness and die, and then I will find a place to bury it..."

After a while, desire overcame reason, and Lu Yuan made a decision, strode into Chongshan City, and walked towards Lu's house.

Chongshan City is a remote town in Daqian, and there are not many pedestrians in the city.

With the memory in his mind, Lu Yuan crossed the stone steps, the opposite tree, passed through several long alleys, and stopped in front of a vermilion gate with a paved head.

On both sides of the gate stand two white jade lions, tall and mighty.

"You are Young Master Lu Yuan?"

"Lu Yuan? Didn't you go with the caravan to learn how to do business, and why didn't the rest of the people come back with them? ”

In front of the gate, several guards surrounded Lu Yuan one after another.

"Quick, go and call my second uncle, the caravan met the mountain bandits halfway, and the rest of them all died, but fortunately I escaped with my life!"

Lu Yuan was out of breath, and his face was full of fear and horror of escaping death.

In order to act more likely, Lu Yuan simply sat down on the ground.

"What? Halfway through, I met a bandit! ”

The faces of several guards at the gate changed greatly, one of them stepped forward to help Lu Yuan, and the rest of them ran into the courtyard quickly.

Lu Yuan glanced at the entourage who helped him up, this person was from the original owner's father's lineage, and just now he was the only one who honored himself as a young master, and others even dared to call Lu Yuan by his name.

"It seems that in the past few days since I left, Lu Zhiyuan has not been idle."

Lu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"Young Master Lu Yuan, you shouldn't have come back, the current Lu family..."

Before the courtyard supporting Lu Yuan finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps from the courtyard.

"Xiao Yuan, I heard that the caravan has encountered mountain bandits, tell me the details!"

There was a slight coldness in the deep voice, the tone of giving orders to the subordinate.

After Lu Zhiyuan saw Lu Yuan's pitiful appearance, he didn't care about greetings, but directly asked about what happened.

"Second uncle, I can be regarded as seeing you, I almost can't come back!"

Lu Yuan straightened his waist and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

"Last night we camped at the foot of Chongshan Mountain to rest, because I drank too much wine, I fell drunk in the grass when I was relieved, and when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard the shouts of the mountain bandits...

When I was awakened, I hid in the grass and saw with my own eyes that the gang of bandits had killed Uncle Zhou, slaughtered the entire caravan, and finally took all the goods and horses with them. ”

Lu Yuan's voice trembled, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be frightened.

From time to time, there was a strange smell from his body as he spoke, and there was a hint of urine in the smell of wine.

In order to fulfill this lie, Lu Yuan specially poured something on himself.

Without waiting for Lu Zhiyuan to speak, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy beside him was furious, "Father, the current mountain bandits are too bold, they even dare to rob our Lu family's caravan, I must give them some color to see!" ”

Lu Yuan glanced at the young man who was a head shorter than him, and this person was his cousin Lu Yan, Lu Zhiyuan's son.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't speak, just stood in front of the mansion and looked at Lu Yuan quietly.

Waiting until Lu Yuan's mood returned to normal, he continued to ask: "Xiao Yuan, do you know the origin of those mountain bandits, or describe what kind of martial arts they use." ”

"Second uncle, I don't know the origin of these mountain bandits, but according to my observation, almost all of them use knives, and their knife skills are insidious and ruthless, very tricky, and Uncle Zhou was beheaded off by a move!"

The corpses of the caravan, except for Zhou Zheng, were still thrown at the foot of the mountain, even if Lu Yuan didn't say it, a discerning person could see that it was the murderous method of the Blood Knife Gate.

"With a knife? Could it be that he is a member of the Blood Knife Gate? ”

Lu Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and said to himself.

Lu Yan asked curiously, "Father, where is the power of the Blood Knife Sect, is it very strong?" ”

"It's very strong, and the people of the Blood Knife Sect are all covered with blood on their hands, all of them are extremely vicious people, and it is rumored that their master is a seventh-grade bone refining realm powerhouse.

But I still have to see the corpse with my own eyes to make a conclusion, Xiaoyuan, you go back and rest, I'll take someone to the foot of Chongshan Mountain. ”

After saying that, Lu Zhiyuan beckoned his subordinates to lead the horse and galloped away.

...

"Whew-"

Seeing that his words were clear, Lu Yuan let out a sigh of relief, bypassed the few people outside the door and walked towards the Lu Mansion.

Following the memories in his mind, he planned to go back to his room to rest first, and at least change out of the dirty gown.

"Lu Yuan, you're going in the wrong direction."

Lu Yan turned his head, looked at Lu Yuan, who was a little embarrassed in his back, and said with a smile: "Your room was given to Xia He by me, as for the clothes in your room, they are all stacked in the side room of the South Courtyard, so it's hard for you to live in the side room these days." ”

Lu Yuan's footsteps were sluggish, Xia He was originally a maid who served him, but he was coveted by Lu Yan for a long time because he was born beautiful.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days, not only is the residence gone, but even the personal ring has been snatched away by Lu Yan.
