Chapter 19: Locke's House
Yaofeng City is more prosperous than Wuxian imagined, the streets are spacious, the brick and stone paving, can be used for three carriages and horses to go hand in hand, the pavilions on both sides are stacked, the shops are lined up, the traffic is busy, the voices of people are boiling, the lights are red and green, and the river is endless.
Traceless looked stunned on horseback, and secretly opened her eyes, after all, this was the first time she entered the town after being reborn in this world, she didn't expect it to be so prosperous, and she even forgot the shyness that she was held in Luo Feiyun's arms before.
Liu, Zhao, and Luo live in the southeast and west of Yaofeng City, the city lord's mansion is in the middle, and the north is the Tang family.
Locke's house is located in the south, a bluestone avenue leads directly to the main gate, the main gate is about three zhang high, the book "Luofu" two golden characters, the five steps in front of the door represent the most noble number, there are two bluestone carved lions squatting on the left and right, four guards wait for 24 hours, look at it from afar, extremely solemn and noble.
When the guard saw the young master returning to the house, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and when he saw that everyone was tired and injured, he was immediately shocked, and asked what happened.
Luo Feiyun didn't bother to explain to them, handed over the traceless mother and daughter to the domestic servant Luo Lin for placement, and went straight to the "meeting hall" to meet the head of the family.
Luo Lin is about thirty, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and strong muscles, giving people the first feeling that he is loyal and capable. He has been in the mansion for more than 20 years, and he has been by Luo Feiyun's side since the day he was born, and he is Luo Feiyun's most trusted close servant.
He explained to the others, and then personally took the traceless mother and daughter to a subordinate room in the backyard.
The area of the wing room is not large, about 20 square meters, divided into two rooms inside and outside, inside is the bedroom, daily necessities and bedding are readily available, the layout is simple but spotless, it can be seen that there are often people cleaning, obviously the internal management of Luofu is very rigorous and meticulous.
Luo Lin asked the Meng family to rest here first, and then led Wu Ji to the warehouse to receive two sets of clothes for the Luo family's servants, and finally went to the chief housekeeper Luo Kun to register for registration.
Butler Luo is in his early fifties, thin and thin, and his habitual action is that he likes to squint at people with his three-inch beard, coupled with his gloomy and eccentric personality, and the servants like to call him "Old Yin Ghost" behind his back.
Steward Luo looked up and down without a trace for a long time, and kept being picky in his mouth, saying that he was too thin and too small to do anything, and he must be a white food. If he hadn't known that the young master had brought it back in person, he would have been driven out by him.
Traceless smiled bitterly, he has been malnourished, he does seem too thin, it seems that it is not easy to be a domestic servant, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained and bullied everywhere in the future, for the sake of his mother, he has to endure it first.
Luo Lin shook his head, in fact, he didn't understand why the young master wanted to accept this thin boy as a servant, thinking of the Meng family, he whispered a few words in the old butler's ear.
After hearing this, the old butler suddenly stared at him, pointed at the traceless and screamed: "What! There is another! is still a sick man, angry with me, angry with me, hum, ruined, ruined, ruined......"
The old housekeeper was helpless, shaking his head while registering the traceless mother and daughter.
Luo Lin seemed to have something urgent, and after coming out of Steward Luo's place, he took Wuxian back to the wing, and repeatedly told Wuxian mother and daughter not to walk around at will, so as not to enter the forbidden place by mistake, and then left in a hurry.
In the "meeting hall" of the Luo family, there is an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting in the center, it is Luo Changfeng, the head of the Luo Mansion, and Luo Feiyun's father Luo Yunfeng and the second uncle Luo Yunsong are sitting at the bottom, and they are also the great elder and the second elder of the Luo Mansion, and the power and prestige are only under the head of the family.
These three people are the most powerful pillars of the Luo Mansion at present, and they are also the top masters of Yaofeng City.
Luo Yunfeng and Luo Yunsong's martial arts realms have reached the peak of the Great Martial Master and the advanced realm of the Great Martial Master respectively. The head of the family, Luo Changfeng, is even more powerful, and it is rumored that he has broken through to the realm of the Martial Sect, and the reason why the Tang family cannot be as famous as the three major families is because there is no such master in charge, and the current head of the family is no more than a senior martial artist.
The realm of martial arts is divided into: martial apprentice, martial artist, great martial artist and martial artist, and each realm is divided into four small realms: primary, middle, high and peak. According to legend, there is a higher realm above the Martial Sect, but ordinary people have never seen it, and it is only occasionally mentioned in the records.
The three major families of Yaofeng City are fighting for who has more masters and more strength, and showing strength is actually the number of martial artists, great martial artists, and martial arts sects.
Most of the people under the great martial artist are juniors or domestic servants, and if they really want to gain a foothold in Yaofeng City, the realm of the great martial artist is the mainstay.
The Locke family's power is the weakest among the three major families, in fact, it is mainly because of the lack of the number of great martial artists, if Luo Feiyun can break through the realm and become a great martial artist, then the strength of the Luo family will definitely increase greatly, not to mention that Luo Feiyun is only seventeen, talented and intelligent, it is very likely to break through the realm of the great martial artist in the future and become the second martial master of the Luo family, and then the strength of the Luo family will be able to become the first in Yaofeng City, why fear the Liu and Zhao families? Therefore, it is the most doted and valued by the Luo family master.
After listening to Luo Feiyun's detailed explanation of today's ambush, the three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
dared to secretly arrange two great martial artists to ambush and assassinate, among the Liu and Zhao families, only the Zhao family was the most likely, but unfortunately the two assassins were dead, and their faces were extremely unfamiliar, and there was no evidence to ask the Zhao family about the crime.
Luo Yunfeng had a hot temper, thinking that his son almost died today, he couldn't help but shoot the case and said angrily: "Father, this matter must have been premeditated by the Zhao family, hmph, it must be taboo that my son is talented and intelligent, and he is about to break through to the realm of great martial artists, and deliberately sent people to do this despicable act, if I swallow this grievance today, how can I gain a foothold in Yaofeng City in the future? I will take someone to the Zhao Mansion, if I don't give me an explanation, I won't give up!"
"Stop!" the Luo family master hurriedly spoke to stop him, "We have no evidence, what can you do if the Zhao Mansion denies it? The Zhao family has been eyeing our Locke family all these years, and has long had bad intentions, and you are afraid that this trouble is in the middle of it, so as to make a move on our Locke family, and now our Locke family has not yet reached the point of fighting hard with the Zhao family. “
"Father is right," Second Elder Luo Yunsong also said, "Today's events are too weird, and the eldest brother must be cautious." “
Luo Yunfeng's heart was uneasy, but he also knew that what his father and second brother said was reasonable, although he dispelled the intention of going to Zhao's mansion, he still had a look of resentment on his face, and secretly made up his mind.
The head of the Luo family frowned slightly, and said to Luo Feiyun: "Good grandson, just now you said that a strange wind suddenly saved you, what is going on?"
Luo Yunsong frowned and said, "Yes, the virtuous nephew will talk about it carefully, don't miss half a point." “
Luo Feiyun recounted in detail the experience of killing the assassin out of thin air when a whirlwind appeared at the moment of life and death, and finally said: "Sun Er thinks it's really incredible, how can a whirlwind kill the two great martial artists? But the fact happened in front of Sun Er's eyes, and Sun Er was also puzzled. “
