Chapter 50: Extraneous Branches

"It was supposed to be a good golden basin handwashing conference, but it could only end in a hurry, which made the lord of Luofu smile!"

In the evening, Lu Tingxiang led people to personally send Luo Tianjin and his party outside the mansion. Due to the fact that the Lu family encountered many changes in one day, coupled with the fact that Mo Cen was dead, and the whereabouts of the shocking rain map were unknown, the various sects and factions who came to the meeting had no intention of continuing to stay, and they said goodbye to Lu Tingxiang after noon.

A birthday feast, which turned out to be a funeral feast. A group of people guarding the huge golden longevity peach without saying a word, eating the birthday banquet of a dead person, such a strange scene can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Luo Tianjin greeted and said: "Lu Gongzi doesn't have to see outside, now that your mansion is being troubled by villains, if there is anything that needs Luo's help, although Lu Gongzi sends someone to Xianwang's Mansion to find me, Luo will never refuse." ”

Sikong Zhu smiled and said: "The people of the Lu Mansion deeply feel the kindness of the Lord of the Luo Mansion, and they must be grateful. The lord of Luofu came to take advantage of the prosperity, but returned in defeat, thanks to the poor greeting of the mansion, and the old man should personally go to Luoyang City to make amends to the lord of Luofu in the future. ”

"Zhu Lao is polite!" Luo Tianjin waved his hand and smiled, "That is, he is a fellow in the rivers and lakes, and he is in trouble and supports from all sides." ”

Lu Tingxiang nodded and said: "At this time, it is getting late, the lord of Luofu and you can go to the Spring and Autumn Mansion for a night's rest first, and then set off back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning." The Lu Mansion is not peaceful now, so I will not keep it too much, so as not to add trouble to the master of the Luo Mansion. ”

Luo Tianjin nodded lightly, leaned over to Lu Tingxiang's ear, and said in a low voice: "Today's matter must be someone who should cooperate with the outside, can Lu Gongzi have a suspicion?"

"Yesterday, Tang Afu appeared in the Water Trace Pavilion, so I suspect that the person who grabbed the map is from the Valley of Despair. Lu Tingxiang speculated bluntly, "And secretly responded in the mansion...... Hehe...... Except for the Xianwang Mansion, Jin Jianwu, the six major sects and the four major families, the rest are all suspicious, but there is no evidence Lu Mou can't be believed, everything has to wait for me to find out before I can assert it. ”

Lu Tingxiang was insincere, it was completely because of Luo Tianjin's face, so he excluded these forces who claimed to be famous and upright, but in fact, the person Lu Tingxiang was most suspicious of now was Luo Tianjin. Not for anything else, just because there is suddenly an extra Liu Xunyi of unknown origin in the Xianwang Mansion today, this alone is enough to arouse suspicion.

Luo Tianjin didn't say much about Lu Tingxiang's perfunctory words, and exchanged a few words of greeting with Lu Tingxiang, Sikong Zhu and others, and then took people out of Lu Mansion.

Among the people who left with Luo Tianjin, Liu Xunyi was also among them. Since the sudden change in the Lu Mansion, until now, for most of the day, Liu Xunyi has not been able to find a chance to talk to Luo Tianjin. And Luo Tianjin seems to have forgotten about Liu Xunyi for a long time, not only did he ignore him, but he didn't even look at him again.

"Brother Xian, I didn't expect to toss a lot, but in the end, it was a bamboo basket for nothing. The scarred Lin Fangda's face turned slightly pale, and with the support of Liu Xunyi, he slowly walked at the end of the crowd, "It's a pity that Mo Cen's family of three thought that they could live a peaceful and stable life after washing their hands in the golden basin, but they still did not escape bad luck." If I had known this, I might as well have not washed my hands in the first place, and I would not have died so miserably. ”

Liu Xunyi seemed to be still immersed in the tragedy of the Mo Cen family, and replied nonchalantly: "In the end, Senior Mo still didn't quit the rivers and lakes as he wished, and his hands couldn't penetrate the golden basin until he died. The most hateful thing is that the man in black, since he has already taken the picture, why should he kill people and kill people? He even refused to let go of innocent babies...... How could he do it to such a young child?"

Lin Fangda smiled bitterly and said: "The man in black killed Mo Cen to prevent him from drawing another picture of the wind and rain from his memory in the future, and killed his child to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that Mo Cen's son would not seek revenge on him in the future." ”

"Thief!" Liu Xunyi said disdainfully, "Since you dare to do such a thing, why should you be afraid that someone will seek revenge?

Lin Fangda stretched out his hand and put it on Liu Xunyi's shoulder, and whispered meaningfully: "Brother Xian, not everyone in the rivers and lakes is above board, you don't think of them too kindly." You must know that real good people can't survive in the rivers and lakes at all, and sometimes they have to be ruthless. As for the man in black......"

"Lin Fangda!" Before Lin Fangda finished speaking, Luo Ningyu squeezed through the crowd and came to them, and asked with concern in his eyes, "How are your injuries?"

"It's just a skin injury, it doesn't matter at all!" As soon as Lin Fangda saw that Luo Ningyu cared about him, he immediately threw the pain all over his body out of the clouds, and smirked innocently, "Ningyu, the mansion master said where are we going next?"

"The storm and rain map are gone, so let's naturally go back to Luoyang City. Luo Ningyu replied, then turned her eyes to look at Liu Xunyi, and said, "Hey, why did you suddenly appear in the Lu Mansion today? And pretending to be someone from our Xianwang Mansion, could it be that you have some bad intentions?"

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to answer, Lin Fangda took the first step to relieve the siege and said, "That Ning Yu ...... When we arrive at the Spring and Autumn Mansion in a while, will you introduce Brother Liu to the mansion owner with me? Brother Liu is walking alone in the rivers and lakes and is lonely, I want him to go to the Xian Wang's Mansion to find an errand, and it will also be convenient for our brothers to get along day and night in the future. ”

"You want to go back to Luoyang with us?" Luo Ningyu's eyes sparkled slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or stunned in his words, and there seemed to be a hint of joy mixed with it.

"The premise is that Miss Luo is willing to take it in. Liu Xunyi smiled modestly.

"Miss Ben can think about it, you performed very well today, and your martial arts are not bad. Luo Ningyu looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and muttered in a matter-of-fact manner, "It's not as useless as Lin Fangda, it's embarrassing." After that, Luo Ningyu also playfully stuck out his tongue at Lin Fangda.

"Thank you Miss Luo for looking at it like that. Liu Xunyi answered, and then changed his words, pretending to be worried, "It's just that after I arrive at King Xian's Mansion, Miss Luo must not let me chop wood and boil water." ”

Liu Xunyi's words made Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda stunned at first, and then the three of them tacitly laughed at the same time, and their relationship with each other was a little closer than before.

"Brother Xian, when you arrive at the Spring and Autumn Mansion in a while, the mansion master will inevitably ask you where you come from, you must answer truthfully, the mansion master doesn't like someone to play tricks in front of him. Lin Fangda reminded him of what he remembered, and when he came out of the Lu Mansion, all kinds of instructions along the way were almost non-stop, it seemed that Lin Fangda seemed to be more concerned about whether Liu Xunyi could enter the Xianwang Mansion smoothly than himself.

"Big brother rest assured ......"

Just as Liu Xunyi, Lin Fangda, and Luo Ningyu were talking and laughing with each other, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the alley next to them. Liu Xunyi subconsciously stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked thoughtful.

"Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?"

"Big brother, Miss Luo, you go to the Spring and Autumn Mansion first, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, so I will leave first, and I will go to the Spring and Autumn Mansion to find you later. Liu Xunyi hurriedly explained, and then without waiting for Lin Fangda to ask, he had already chased quickly towards the depths of the alley.

At this moment, the night was dark, and a swift figure was hunched down and speeding down the dim street. This person was dressed in a night outfit, covered his face with a black scarf and couldn't see his face clearly, only revealing a pair of blazing tiger eyes, exuding a cold light like a wolf in the moonlight.

The man in black cautiously swept to the back wall of the Lu Mansion, and quietly and quickly made a move, knocking down the two Lu family guards who were patrolling here. The agility of the movements, the precision of the shots, and the flexibility of the body are obviously good.

The man in black stood close to the wall, hiding himself in the dark shadow, looking up at the high wall of the Lu Mansion, as if thinking about something, and did not move for a long time.

The hazy moonlight, the sky and the earth are gloomy, and the man in black at this moment seems to melt into the night.

After pondering for a moment, the man in black seemed to have made up his mind, and trotted all the way against the wall, came to the corner of the wall of the Lufu courtyard, looked left and right a few times, and then kicked his feet, jumping up against the high wall like a gecko, and his hands and feet slapped against the wall in mid-air, and his figure also climbed steadily.

However, just as the man in black's head was poking out of the high wall, he suddenly heard a soft "whoosh" sound from the night sky, and through the hazy moonlight, he saw a sharp arrow like black lightning, shooting straight towards his head.

"A bold thief, he dares to trespass into the Lu Mansion and look for death!"

With a roar coming from the courtyard, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the originally quiet backyard of the Lu Mansion, and the torches that followed instantly illuminated the world as bright as day.

The man in black never expected that the defense of the Lu Mansion would be so tight, and in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, his pupils immediately shrank in fright, and his head subconsciously retracted under the wall.

The man in black kicked his feet against the wall and quickly flipped back, so nervous that he staggered backwards several times when he landed.

"That person is outside the back wall, you are outflanked left and right, and you are caught alive!" Sikong Zhu's cold voice suddenly sounded in the depths of the Lu Mansion.

The man in black was shocked when he heard this, and he looked left and right with figures longing, and came straight to him. In a hurry, he quickly drew the short knife on his waist, preparing to have a head-on fight with the Lu family's guards.

"Come with me!"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind the man in black, and the man in black, who was in a nervous mood, stabbed with his sword without thinking, and the person flexibly dodged away. Without waiting for the man in black to strike again, the person who came had already grabbed his wrist first, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, don't move!" You dare to break into the Lu Mansion at night alone, but you don't know that the masters in the mansion are like clouds, if you fight hard, you will definitely die!"

"Is that you?" The man in black suddenly saw the face of the person who came, it was Liu Xunyi who had followed him all the way.

Liu Xunyi stared at the man in black with a solemn gaze, and suddenly, he pulled off the black scarf in front of the man in black with lightning speed, and suddenly a big face covered with a beard appeared in the moonlight.

It was the new lieutenant of the Quanzhou battalion who led the troops to besiege Lu Mansion today, Feng Tianba!
