With a shout, there was a noisy noise outside the Chongwu Courtyard, and then I saw a trace of smoke dispersed into the courtyard along the gap between the courtyard gate and the window of the pavilion corridor, and there was a large area of smoke covering the sky and the sun pressing over the courtyard wall, and rushing towards the martial arts field along the wind.

"What's going on?"

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden change, and everyone got up one after another and looked out of the courtyard with curiosity on their faces.

"Don't panic, wait for Lu to find out first, and I will give you an explanation later. "Jiangnan Lu Mansion actually made such a joke in front of the heroes of the world, such a faux pas really made Lu Tingxiang lose face. He hurriedly explained to the crowd, and walked quickly towards the courtyard with a sullen face.

"Strange! This kind of thing has never happened in the Lu Mansion for decades, everything is in order, how can it suddenly catch fire?" Sikong Zhu followed behind Lu Tingxiang and muttered to himself.

At this moment, due to the thick smoke billowing between heaven and earth, everyone was unable to sit still, and they all raised their feet and rushed towards the direction of the courtyard gate.

Fire and water are ruthless, and no one wants to be implicated in vain. For a while, the originally orderly Chongwu Courtyard suddenly became a mess, with noisy voices and shouts mixed with messy footsteps one after another, and no one could see anyone clearly in the increasingly dense smoke, and it was inevitable that there would be some bumps and ensuing scolding.

The chaos lasted for about a stick of incense, and the smoke gradually dissipated, but there was not a single open flame in sight. Everyone stood in the martial arts arena with blank faces, neither leaving nor staying.

A moment later, Lu Tingxiang, who had a gloomy face, returned to the martial arts field angrily with Sikong Zhu and a group of guards, and at this moment he was still carrying half of the black charcoal soaked in water.

Sikong Zhu sent someone to clean the martial arts field and motioned for everyone to sit down again, Lu Tingxiang endured the anger in his heart, slowly walked to the middle of the martial arts field, held up the half of the black charcoal in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Let you see the laughter, there is no fire in the mansion at all, but someone deliberately placed a lot of soaked black charcoal in the hidden places around the Chongwu Courtyard, so it will cause billowing smoke." It seems that a friend deliberately wanted to make a joke with Lu. ”

The reason why Lu Tingxiang said this was because he was confident that with the strict defense of the Lu Mansion, it was impossible for outsiders to come in and set fire, and this matter must have been done by people in the mansion.

In addition to the Lu family's own people in the mansion, the rest are the disciples of various sects and factions who came to participate in the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, these people are all guests invited by Lu Tingxiang himself, and they are naturally friends. Although the words were light, in fact, Lu Tingxiang was very angry in his heart, but it was just because today's scene was not good.

"It's inappropriate, but it's also harmless. Lu Tingxiang said insincerely, "It doesn't affect ......."

"Kid...... My baby...... Who snatched my baby?"

Before Lu Tingxiang finished speaking, he heard a woman crying in horror and urgency from the sidelines: "Master, master...... We...... Our baby has just been snatched away......"

The woman who cried was Mozen's wife, and I saw her hands trembling in the air and grabbing it randomly, as if she was fighting with someone to grab something, but at this moment she was empty in front of her, and the baby she had just held in her arms was nowhere to be found.

In the chaos, Mo Cen stood up in front of them in order to protect his wife and children, and he was engrossed in using his sleeves to disperse the plumes of smoke drifting closely, but he did not distract himself from taking care of his wife and children behind him. Hearing his wife's cry at this moment, Mo Cen suddenly realized that his child had been snatched away by someone taking advantage of the chaos, and at this moment, in addition to surprise, his old eyes were mixed with incomparable anger.

"What's going on?" Mozen grabbed his wife by the collar and pulled her savagely in front of her, her heavy breath hitting her panicked face. Mo Cen's hideous appearance at this moment was very terrifying, and he couldn't wait to eat his wife alive, so he roared angrily: "Where is the tiger?

Hu'er is the name of Mozen's son.

"I don't know...... Just now I was standing here with the tiger in my arms, and then ...... Then someone snatched him from my arms in the thick smoke......" Mozen's wife recalled with tears streaming down her face, "The man had great strength and speed, and before I could hold the tiger, the man had already snatched the tiger and disappeared into the smoke......"

"You woman can't even look at a child, what's the use of me keeping you?" Before the woman could finish speaking, Mo Cen angrily slapped his wife in the face, knocking the woman to the ground, leaving five shocking red fingerprints on her delicate face.

"Senior Mo, you calm down first, Mrs. Zun is just a woman, why should you embarrass her?" Luo Tianjin opened his mouth to persuade.

Lu Tingxiang nodded and said: "Yes, first someone deliberately let out a cigarette, and then took advantage of the chaos to snatch Senior Mo's child, this matter is no coincidence, someone must be sincere to make trouble." After that, Lu Tingxiang looked around with gloomy eyes, and said with a straight face, "Although the world is big, no one can wantonly spread wild in my Lu Mansion! Although I don't know which friend is secretly making trouble, I have just ordered a strict investigation, and even a fly will not want to fly out of the Lu Mansion until this matter is completely investigated." ”

Hearing Lu Tingxiang's words, everyone present looked at each other, but when they saw the Mo Cen couple who were crying bitterly and full of grief and anger, it was not good to say anything more out of morality, after all, most of the people present were upright and not afraid of shadows, so why should they be afraid of strict investigation?

Mo Cen's gaze, which trembled with anger, swept over everyone present ruthlessly, and said in a deep voice: "The old man kindly invited you to come to witness Mo Mou's golden basin washing his hands, and he sincerely treats you as friends. But now there are people who ignore the old sincerity and deliberately make trouble, Mo has indeed offended some people for decades in the rivers and lakes, but there are rules in the rivers and lakes that 'woe to his wife and children', and now taking advantage of the chaos to snatch my child is not a hero, if you have the ability, stand up, I, Mo Cen, will stand here today at your disposal, you can have grievances and revenge, but don't embarrass my son. Otherwise, even if you are the king of heaven, Mo will never let you go!"

"No matter who it is, I hope you can take the initiative to stand up and admit it, and hand over Mo Gongzi unharmed. Lu Tingxiang's eyes were like knives, scrutinizing back and forth among the crowd, and echoed in a deep tone, "As long as you are willing to take the initiative to admit and return Mo Gongzi, then I can treat today's matter as a misunderstanding, and promise in front of the heroes of the world that I will never investigate it again!

Lu Tingxiang's words are quite domineering, which inevitably makes people feel a little uncomfortable to hear, but in today's place, he Lu Tingxiang does have the qualifications and capital to be domineering.

"Lu Tingxiang, this is not a misunderstanding!"

Just when there was silence in the martial arts field, a playful and sharp sneer suddenly sounded on the roof of Chongwutang, everyone was shocked, and they all followed the sound, but saw a masked black-clothed man quickly flashing out of the roof, the black-clothed man was holding a cold short dagger in his right hand, and in his left hand, he was carrying a baby whose life and death were unknown, which was Mo Cen's son.

"Let go of my child......"

Mo Cen was eager to save his son, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be angry and wanted to rush forward, but the man in black had a hint of banter in his eyes, and then the short dagger in his hand was directly on the baby's neck, which frightened Mo Cen and hurriedly stopped. He was so nervous that he stumbled a few times and almost fell to the ground.

"Who are you? Why do you want to rob my child?" Mo Cen's old eyes were sad and angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that the man in black would be unhappy and hurt the baby's life, "The old man has been in hiding for many years, he shouldn't have provoked anyone, you ......"

"Haha......"

Looking at the pitiful appearance of Mo Cen's six gods and no master, the man in black laughed unscrupulously and said, "Mo Cen, others are more and more shrewd, why are you more and more confused?

"Bastard!" Sikong Zhu shouted in a deep voice, "Where did the thief come from, he dared to go to Jiangnan Lufu to spread wild? Return Mo Gongzi, the old man can leave you a whole corpse, otherwise you will not be able to survive, and you will not be able to die!"

The man in black sneered nonchalantly, and the dagger in his hand was once again a little closer to the baby's throat, and said, "Mo Cen, I won't talk nonsense with you, hand over the frightening rain map, and I will return my son to you." ”

"You're really here to scare the wind and rain. Lu Tingxiang said coldly, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the people present, and said, "Today, the heroes of the world are gathered here, you really eat the heart of a bear and a leopard, do you think you can leave alive?"

"It's just a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, and if you want to grab a picture, you don't pick a good time, so you ran to find your own way to die today. Qin Da said mockingly, "You can't take it away, but your dog's life will be left today!"

Master Shaolin Yuankong said: "Sins and sins! Mo Gongzi is young and ignorant, and has nothing to do with grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, why should you embarrass an innocent child?"

"That's good!" Elder Wudang Guchen nodded and agreed: "If you return Mo Gongzi now, I can ask Lu Gongzi to spare your life, otherwise you will definitely die today, no matter how high your martial arts are, can you still be able to defeat all the masters present today? Whether you live or die, you should know how to choose." ”

The man in black sneered: "I'm afraid of death, I won't come!" There is a kind of you who will kill me now, and it is worth it to have the little son of the Mo family to accompany me to bury." ”

"You're looking for death!"

"Come on, let's see who dies first!"

The man in black was not afraid of the threat of the heroes, but his eyes were fierce, and his right hand was about to cut the sharp dagger into the baby's pink neck.

"Don't! Don't be impulsive!"

The provocation of the man in black has triggered public anger, and the disciples of various sects and sects have drawn their swords and want to kill the man in black, but Mo Cen is the first to dissuade loudly: "Everyone, I know that you all have good intentions, but now the dog is still in his hands, and his life is in danger, the old man begs you not to be impulsive, otherwise the dog will be in danger of his life!"

"Mo Lao, it is a capital crime for this person to trespass on my Lu Mansion, and now he is even more provocative in public, treating the heroes of the world as nothing. If I don't kill him, how can I explain to the people of the world in Jiangnan Lufu?" Sikong Zhu's eyes were glowing with coldness, and he said to Mo Cen in a stiff tone.

The man in black said coldly: "Mo Cen, if you don't want your son to die, let them put away their blades, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Mo Cen suddenly "chuckled" in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his pleading gaze to Lu Tingxiang, pleading: "Virtuous nephew, you know how important Hu'er is to me, he is my lifeline, even if I don't want to spell out this old life, I must not let Hu'er miss the slightest." I beg you, I beg you, for the sake of my brotherhood with your father, don't embarrass him first, and then discuss everything when Hu'er is safe? I beg you! I beg you......" Mo Cen was already anxious and burst into tears, and knelt down in front of Lu Tingxiang with a "poof" as he spoke, and kowtowed heavily like garlic.

Lu Tingxiang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly leaned over to help Mo Cen up, and said with a bitter face: "Senior Mo, please hurry up, you are really tormenting the younger generation like this!" Then he turned his head and motioned to the guards of the Lu family, as well as the disciples of other sects, to put away their swords.

Luo Tianjin looked at the man in black with a suspicious expression, and said: "You dare to sneak into Jiangnan Lufu alone, and be in danger in front of so many masters, I really admire your courage, you have such courage and must also be a master, in this case, why don't you go down and fight according to the rules, as long as you can win Liu Xunyi, you will naturally have the opportunity to get the wind and rain map." As long as you are willing to let go of Mo Gongzi and end up fighting, I, Luo Tianjin, am willing to guarantee that you will be treated fairly in the name of the Xian Wangfu, at least to save your life. ”

"That's good!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly responded, "Your Excellency wants to frighten the wind and rain map, why don't you end up and teach you? Wouldn't it be better to win this map openly? Now you are hostage to a weak child, which is really a loss of dignity for a husband." ”

The man in black silently scanned the crowd, and finally cast a grim gaze on Mo Cen and said, "Mo Czen, do you want to hand over or not to hand over the Wind and Rain Map?"

"You are not afraid of death, but you do not want to die. Luo Tianjin ignored the threat of the man in black to Mo Cen, and said to himself, "If you really want to die, you won't use Mo Gongzi as a threat, in the end, you still want to survive in your bones." You should know very well that with you alone, even if you get the Storm and Rain Map, it is impossible to get out of front of so many masters. ”

For Luo Tianjin's step-by-step attack, a trace of irritability flashed in the eyes of the man in black, he snorted angrily, his hand tightened, and the dagger cut through the baby's skin, and a trace of red blood instantly penetrated out.

"Mo Czen, do you think I'm joking with you? Since you don't want to hand over the Storm Map, then prepare to collect your son's body!"

"Don't ......" Seeing this scene, Mo Cen and his wife were immediately frightened and bloodless, and before Luo Tianjin and the others could speak again, Mrs. Mo Cen had already passed out with a scream. Mo Cen looked at Lu Tingxiang with complicated and bitter eyes, but Lu Tingxiang's face was as dignified as him, obviously he had no other plan at the moment.

After a moment of silence, Mo Cen couldn't help but let out a light sigh in his mouth, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground like a deflated ball, disheartened, his eyes were empty, and he couldn't help but choke repeatedly.

"You let my son go, and the storm is terrifying...... It's yours......"

......
