Lu Ling's face changed for a while when she heard this, she looked up and saw that there were seven figures standing behind Jiang Xingwang, a total of eight people including himself.

"At most, two thousand taels of silver, no more, the amount is too big for me to be the master, and I only have five hundred taels of silver on me, and the rest will be given to you when I return to the Lu family."

Jiang Xingwang glanced at Lu Ling, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, the deal, it is worthy of the four major families of Chongshan City, and the shot is generous!" ”

After negotiating the price, Jiang Xingwang had an uncontrollable smile on his face, waved his hand, and ordered:

"Brothers, come with me, go and kill those villagers who went up the mountain, and remember to leave a living mouth to go back to report to our Young Master Lu!"

"Good!"

"Listen to Big Brother!"

The seven murderous bandits behind Jiang Xingwang answered one after another, brushed shoulders with Lu Ling with knives, and walked in the direction where she came.

Lu Ling watched this group of people disappear from view, her eyes flashing constantly.

"Jiang Xingwang has broken through to the middle of the eighth grade to transport blood, and it seems that the extermination plan after the matter is completed will have to be modified..."

......

"This farmhouse meal is really delicious!"

Lu Yuan sat at a wooden table, nibbling on a fragrant iron pot stewed goose.

They helped Qingshui Village get rid of the big trouble, and the village chief and the villagers specially prepared a sumptuous meal to treat the two.

Stewed goose in an iron pot is just one of them, along with two roast chickens, fragrant small fish soup and half a roast suckling sheep.

This large table full of meals can only be seen during the Chinese New Year, and the portion is enough for five or six strong men to eat beautifully for a day.

And now, these are all lunches for Lu Yuan and Lin Li.

Because they were dining in someone's ancestral hall, Lu Yuan and the others also specially bowed to the tablet enshrined in Qingshui Village.

Lu Yuan ate quickly, the food on the table was wiped out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bones were quickly piled up into a small mountain.

However, Lin Li on the other side was a little absent-minded, and he was always worried about Lu Ling's safety.

"Lu Yuan, you said Lu Ling would be fine, why don't we go into the mountains to search?"

"Don't worry, you haven't had an accident, what can happen to Lu Ling?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand, he didn't care about it on the surface, but in his heart he was actually suspicious of Lu Ling's long-term history.

He glanced at Lin Li, who was sitting on the edge of his seat, and said with a smile: "Let's eat first, if Lu Ling hasn't come back after eating, let's go into the mountains to have a look." ”

"Good!"

A quarter of an hour passed.

The two of them swept away the food on the wooden table, and their bellies bulged slightly.

Warriors must eat three meals a day, so that they can be conducive to the replenishment and generation of qi and blood.

With the improvement of Lu Yuan's cultivation, the amount of food has also increased a lot, at least more than twice as much as before.

Just as Lu Yuan got up and was about to exercise to digest food, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly pushed open.

"Two.... Two adults! ”

A villager came in in in a panic and stammered, "Oh no, something happened to the group of people who went up the mountain to search for the bandits!" ”

"What?"

"Two adults, please come with me to the entrance of the village..."

......

Before Lu Yuan and Lin Li arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard a burst of whimpering and crying in the distance.

The two of them glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Not far ahead, a group of people gathered around.

Lu Yuan pushed aside the crowd and went in, and saw the corpses of several young and strong villagers lying on the ground, and women and children fell on them, crying heartbreakingly.

One of the choked voices Lu Yuan was a little familiar, and if he looked closely, it was the little girl with a double ponytail who had brought them food in the past few days.

At this time, the little girl was lying on the chest of a middle-aged man, with long tear stains on her face, and she kept sobbing.

Lu Yuan sighed and asked the village chief beside him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Alas, the man sent out by the village to search for the whereabouts of the bandits was attacked by his fellow bandits, and only one survived and came back..."

The village chief shook his head again and again, looking very sad.

"Do these bandits have accomplices?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "We have tortured, these bandits should only be five people, where are the accomplices?" ”

"It's not clear, that's what Li Wu, who fled back, said."

"Call him here."

Soon, Li Wu, who was a little pale, walked over and knelt down in front of Lu Yuan with a pop.

"Lord Lu, please, avenge these dead villagers!"

After speaking, he will kowtow to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan stopped him and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will, tell me about the situation at that time..."

According to Li Wu's account, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of bandits during the search, slashing and killing the villagers, and scolding and saying that they wanted to avenge the dead bandit brothers.

Li Wu and his companions scattered and escaped, but luckily picked up a life.

"How many of those robbers are there?"

Lu Yuan sensed that something was wrong.

"Lord Huilu, there are seven or eight people, all of them are strong and strong, and they are not easy to mess with!"

Seven or eight warriors surrounded the villagers, and Li Wu was able to escape back unscathed, which was definitely a problem.

Either Li Wu met those bandits, or Li Wu was deliberately released back to report the news.

Obviously, the second option is more likely.

"What are they doing this for?"

Lu Yuan thought in his heart.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lin..."

The village chief suddenly led a group of villagers to Lu Yuan and the others, his eyes full of pleading.

The little girl who often brought them food also stood up and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and the answer was obvious, someone wanted him to go up the mountain, or said that he wanted him to die on the mountain, at the hands of bandits.

This person is likely to be the disappeared Lu Ling.

"Big brother, please, you are so powerful, can you help my father avenge me?"

The little girl with a sad face walked up to Lu Yuan and shook his arm.

Lu Yuan didn't respond immediately, but lowered his head and thought.

Since the other party tried to trick him into going up the mountain, he must have been well prepared.

At this time, going up the mountain is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net.

"Lu Yuan, don't hesitate, let's go into the mountain quickly!"

Lin Li patted Lu Yuan's shoulder vigorously, his eyes were firm, "In addition to avenging the villagers, we also have to find Lu Ling and bring her back safely!" ”

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, and finally nodded and replied with one word, "Okay." ”

......

The two of them went back to the village to prepare, and then followed a Li Wu towards the place where they had been attacked.

Lu Yuan specially asked the village chief to borrow a bow to carry behind him, maybe it would come in handy later.

"You go back first."

When he was about to arrive at the location where the villagers were attacked, Lu Yuan asked Li Wu to go back first, so as not to startle the snake.

"Lin Li, our soldiers are divided into two ways, you bypass from the left, I will come from the right, try not to be discovered, be careful of their ambush."

"Okay, then be careful."

Lin Li nodded and separated from Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan stood in place, watching Lin Li's back gradually engulfed by the mountains and forests...
