Chapter 135: The Lu Couple
The day after Ye Fei and Shen Xiaoqing arrived in Jiangcheng, Meng Jiu took the two of them around Jiangcheng, and the deepest feeling of the two of them for Jiangcheng was one word - hot.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoqing wiped Ye Fei's sweat along the way, Meng Jiu was envious, and couldn't help but think of Nangong Yulin who was far away in Xishu.
When night fell, the three of them returned to the 12th house of Tishan.
Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, the day when Meng Jiu officially took over as the head of the Zodiac, so many people from all over the world visited today to celebrate him.
Since he had rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes before, and was dedicated to studying boxing and martial arts, except for Ye Fei, other visitors Meng Jiu didn't know anything.
As soon as the three of them got out of the carriage, Ma Guangyuan, the deacon of the tenth palace who was in charge of receiving visitors, walked up to the three of them, and said in a hurried tone: "The head of the house is not good, Lu Xi, the daughter of the head of the deer, and Lu Jian, the son-in-law, have come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt." ”
Meng Jiu scratched his head, then looked at Ye Fei, "Third brother, what should I do now?"
"Ninth brother, you are the head of the family, you must be courageous!" Ye Fei said.
Meng Jiu nodded and took a deep breath.
For Lu Xi and Lu Jian, Meng Jiu has seen it. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival a few years ago, Lu Youming once took him to Lu's house for dinner.
The Lu family is in the north of Jiangcheng City, and it is a well-known local martial arts family.
Lu Xi and Lu Jian's swordsmanship is a must in Jiangcheng's martial arts, and they are also the only couple in the top 30 of the heroes list to be selected in the name of husband and wife.
In the early years, Luxi was also a disciple of the 12th house, and the highest was on the 11th house.
However, there was a lot of controversy in the sect about her ascending to the eleventh house back then, and it was rumored that the tenth house was obsessed with losing to her that year, and her real strength was only between the ninth and tenth palaces.
Two years after ascending to the Eleventh Palace, Luxi married Lu Jian, and therefore withdrew from the Twelve Palaces of Tishan.
According to legend, Lu Youming intends to let her take over as the head, but she really does not have the strength and talent, if she uses means to make her reach the top, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
This is why only two years after ascending to the eleventh house, Lu Youming let Lu Xi, who was only twenty-three years old at the time, leave the twelfth house of Tishan.
Although she quit the sect, Lu Xi has appeared in the Twelfth House over the years, especially after her son Lu Tianbao joined the Twelfth House of Tishan when he was eight years old, she simply moved to the Twelfth House with her husband Lu Jian and lived with Lu Youming, saying that she was taking care of her father-in-law, but in fact, it was to take care of Lu Tianbao for convenience.
It wasn't until five years ago that Lu Tianbao married a wife and had children, and the couple returned to the Lu family with their grandson.
After Ye Fei cut off two fingers with a sword yesterday, Lu Tianbao was sent back to the Lu family by three disciples of the Twelve Palaces at night.
After learning that his son had been expelled from the sect and that two fingers had been cut off, Lu Xi was very angry, so he and her husband Lu Jian rushed to the Twelfth Palace early in the morning to ask Meng Jiu and Ye Fei for an explanation!
"Master, in my opinion, why don't you go up the mountain from the back mountain. Ma Guangyuan suggested, "No matter how much trouble the Lu family and his wife make, they still understand the rules of the Zodiac, and they won't go to the top of the mountain to make trouble." ”
"This!" Meng Jiu looked embarrassed.
"The head of the Twelve Palaces actually has to sneak up the mountain like a thief!" Ye Fei sneered.
"Yes," Meng Jiu nodded at Ma Guangyuan, "We didn't do anything wrong, why should we avoid them?"
With that, the four of them walked up the mountain together.
When the four of them stepped on the stairs of the fourth house, they saw a middle-aged couple striding over, both of them holding swords in their hands, and the woman had a murderous face and a posture of seeking revenge and collecting debts.
This woman is Lu Xi, the eldest daughter of Lu Youming, and the man who follows her is her husband Lu Jian.
In addition to the two, there are several deacons and elders of the Zodiac.
"Meng Jiu, I've been waiting for you for a day, but it's time to wait for you!" Luxi said angrily when he came to Meng Jiu.
"Senior Sister Luxi. Meng Jiu arched his hand.
Lu Xi looked at Ye Fei, who was standing behind Meng Jiu, and asked after snorting coldly, "Yesterday, this brother cut off my eldest son's finger?"
"Uh, that's down there!" Ye Fei admitted.
"I heard that my brother is ranked second on the Qingwu list this time, it seems that he is relying on his own ability to bully my eldest son?"
"Madam, I'll talk about the grievances with your eldest son later, shouldn't I talk about why Ling Lang was expelled from the sect?" Ye Fei reminded.
Luxi snorted again, and said angrily: "It's not that you bully my eldest son when you see that my father is gone." ”
"Hearing what Mrs. said, I don't know people who think that Ling Lang is an ignorant child, but the eldest child in your family is in his twenties, how can there be a child so old in this world. Ye Fei retorted.
Lu Xi glared at Ye Fei viciously, "The surname is Ye, if you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue!"
"Madam, I am a distinguished guest personally invited by the head of the Zodiac, and if you say this in front of everyone in the Zodiac, you will inevitably take the Zodiac too seriously. By the way, looking at Madame's posture, it should be an uninvited guest, right?"
"What an uninvited guest, my father. ”
At this time, Lu Jian coughed and interrupted Luxi's words.
Ye Fei smiled, and then complained to the elders and deacons of the Twelve Palaces: "Yesterday I came to visit, but the rules and regulations handed over the famous thorn, but you did everything possible to obstruct it, and you also fought with me;
As soon as Ye Fei said this, several deacons and elders looked embarrassed.
"Brother is really sharp-tongued, no wonder my eldest son suffered such a big loss from you. Luxi said coldly with a gloomy face.
"This is a bad statement, I think Ling Lang used to rely on the support of the head of the deer, and he was used to being arrogant in the 12th palace. Once out of the 12th Palace, with his character and ability, where will he not suffer?" Ye Fei retorted.
Lu Xi gritted his teeth, stared at Ye Fei coldly for a while, and then turned to Meng Jiu, "Meng Jiu, I only ask you one word, but do you have to expel my family Dalang from the sect?"
Meng Jiu looked at Yan Xin and said, "You should ask Elder Yan about this, he is in charge of the precepts, and it is also his decision. ”
"Master, this!" Yan Xin was stunned, feeling as if he had been betrayed by Meng Jiu.
"I don't care who made the decision, I just want you to say a word! If it wasn't for my father who saved you and raised you as an adult, would you still be standing here today? I really can't imagine that my father actually raised a white-eyed wolf!" Luxi said with round eyes.
"Senior sister, Master's nurturing kindness to me, Meng Jiu, I don't have any teeth to forget, but that is a private matter, and Senior Brother Lu has violated the rules and regulations of the sect, and his crime is unforgivable, and it is for official business. If you have to confuse the two, I can only send someone to ask Master to come back, and I am not in charge of this matter. Up and down this sect, who is not my senior brother or sister? If everyone makes a mistake and has to talk about personal affairs, won't I have to cover it up for everyone!"
Hearing Meng Jiu say that he was going to resign as the head of the house, several deacons and elders were shocked.
Ye Fei on the side smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay!Meng Jiu, from now on, there will be no love between you and me!"
With that, Luxi left with Lu Jian.
