Volume 1 Sword Swing in All Directions Chapter 7 The Tragic Song of the Wild Goose
Ling Ling opened the door of the secret room and walked in with a smile, the shallow dimples were even more charming under the light and elegant dress, today she deliberately wore a white plain dress and braided a simple bun, which was very different from her usual style. In any case, this turmoil in the Yantian Sect was definitely not something to celebrate for Lu Mingyi.
"I haven't seen you for a hundred days, you have been reborn, and you have some fairy style. Ling Ling pursed her lips and smiled, she originally thought that Lu Ming would be eager to pull her to ask questions, she knew that he must be full of doubts in his heart.
Lu Mingyi didn't seem to hear her talking, he looked at her blankly, he had never seen Ling Ling dressed like this, he seemed to be more accustomed to her usual red dress and bold personality, like the delicate flowers in front of him, the weak willow supporting the wind and the crepe words, really surprised him a lot.
"Miss Ling'er is here?" Lu Xuan quietly pushed Lu Mingyi, greeted him with a smile, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what's going on outside?"
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm here to pick you up. Ling Ling smiled, in fact, except for Lu Mingyi, she spoke to anyone simply and clearly.
As soon as Lu Ming was pushed by his aunt, although he came to his senses, he didn't know what to say for a while, and a pair of eyes kept rolling on Ling Ling like a nephew playing a lantern. Ling Ling was embarrassed by him to look at him like this, his cheeks were crimson, and he couldn't help but lower his head, and his hands kept pinching the placket of his clothes. In eighteen years, she had never been stared at like this by a man.
"I said, you stinky boy, what are you thinking? Is it appropriate for you to stare at other girls so directly?" Lu Xuan saw Lu Mingyi in such a situation, and raised his ear and said.
"I said you're good, why did you change your appearance, where is there still a little bit of the temperament of a child of the rivers and lakes. Lu Mingyi said with a frown, he couldn't understand what made him change his temper even if he wanted to break his brain.
"Isn't it pretty? Who said that the children of the rivers and lakes have to be the ones who have to be golden knives all the time? Besides, I'm much better than the squeamish Miss Liyan who gives people goosebumps, right? Where is there no temperament for the children of the rivers and lakes?" Ling Ling heard him say, he was not angry, but raised his willow eyebrows and asked again and again.
"That's right, this is the Ling'er I know. Lu Ming laughed again and again.
"Miss, miss, no...... Oh no...... Old gentleman...... The old lady was assassinated. Ling Ling's personal maid Hong Aya was out of breath and ran in in a panic, in front of Ling Ling, everyone around her called Ling Yue like this.
"Slowly, where are the people. Ling Ling was not in a hurry, even if her heart was in her throat, she would never mess up.
"I heard that it was a disciple of Han Tang, what is the name of Wu Zhong, and I don't know what method I used to sneak into the mansion, and suddenly plotted against the old lady, and both of them were killed, and they are in the hall at the moment. Red Aya eased her mind a little and said hurriedly.
Ling Ling's heart tightened, and he turned around and ran towards the hall, and the three of them hurriedly followed. Lu Ming frowned, Wu Zhong was not Huo Xin's disciple, how did he become Han Tang's disciple again. Two years ago, he had an intersection with Wu Zhong, and he was loyal and upright, because he led his art to Huo Xin, and he has not been reused.
What Lu Mingyi didn't know was that since the defeat of Tang Yan and Huo Xin, Han Tang treated Wu like a disciple in the house, and Han Tang never spared his favor for talents who could be used for himself, which was also his greatest strength. It's just that Wu Zhong has not followed Han Tang for a long time, although he is favored, but he is not reused, even so, Wu Zhong is still very grateful to Han Tang, and he does not hesitate to risk his life to avenge Han Tang.
Ling Ling crouched beside Ling Yue's cold body and cried bitterly, falling into deep self-blame, when Shen Qing died on the street three days ago, he should have taken precautions, how could he let his only relative give his life in vain. But this is not her fault, the news of Shen Qing's death may be just a surprise to everyone, but to Ling Yue, it is sad that a rabbit dies and a fox dies, and things hurt it.
"The old lady left an order, please Miss preside over the overall situation, and please Miss mourn. Butler Ling Xiao knelt in front of Ling Ling and said.
"Order all the disciples under the sect to raise filial piety for the old lady for 100 days from now on. Ling Lingqiang held back the grief in his heart and issued his first order.
For a long time, the Ling family has been a single lineage, not as prosperous as the Xiao family and the Shen family. Seventeen years ago, in the battle of Zhongnan Mountain, Ling Yue lost his beloved son, and he also fell into the root of an incurable disease, and since then he has poured all his efforts into Ling Ling, and Ling Ling has never lived up to his expectations, although he is a daughter, no matter his personality, courage, or vision, he is very much like Ling Yue.
When everyone heard Ling Ling's order, they immediately started to get busy, and in the past hundred days, no one from top to bottom had cheated and played tricks, and no one wanted to be stupid and stupid to test the depth of this eldest lady.
"What Brother Ming Yi said just now, I don't know what the two brothers think?" Ling Ling smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Xia and Shen Mi, after Shen Qing's death, the twenty-five-year-old Shen Mi sat in the first place of the Shen family in a fierce battle.
"Xiao Yiye has seen people, now the Yantian faction is falling apart, I heard that the head of the sect died unexplained after retiring, and now even the corpse capital can't be found, if we continue like this, sooner or later there will be no place to bury. It's better to follow what Xiao Yiye said, the road is facing the sky, and each one walks half of the way, and everything will be safe from now on. The little master in Shen Mi's mouth is talking about Lu Mingyi, I don't know when it started, everyone called him that, and there was a feeling that a turkey had turned into a phoenix in an instant.
"It's better to take the current sphere of influence of each family as the boundary and go their own way. Xiao Xia still said bluntly, since the death of Shen Qing and Ling Yue, the Yantian faction has completely collapsed, and each family has established a mountain and established a faction, the Xiao family founded the Gradual Water faction, the Shen family founded the Lianze faction, and the Ling clan founded the Fengying faction.
"Okay, the three of us swear that from now on, the well water will not violate the river water, if you violate this oath, you will bear the consequences!" Xiao Xia and Shen Mi heard Ling Ling say this, they understood in their hearts, and they each said goodbye and went back.
"Ling'er, if you violate this oath, won't you be punished by heaven and earth, and what does it mean to bear the consequences?" Lu Ming asked puzzled, he still knew some of these common words in the rivers and lakes.
"Let me ask you, when have you ever heard that God has killed people? When have you seen who the earth has destroyed? What kind of heaven and earth have been destroyed, and it is not a bluffing nonsense?" After Ling Ling finished speaking, he couldn't help but bend down and laugh, although Lu Mingyi didn't understand what Ling Ling wanted to say, but when he saw her laughing so happily, he couldn't help but laugh along.
"Brother Mingyi, right now, my Wind Shadow Sect has not gained a stable foothold, and it is difficult for me to support this huge world as a weak woman, you are not allowed to run, and now only you can help me. Ling Ling stopped laughing, took Lu Mingyi's hands, and kept stamping her feet and begging, she couldn't think of any other more suitable reason to keep Lu Mingyi.
"Ling'er, you're so good-looking. Ling Ling's concern and dependence on Lu Mingyi was not because she expected him to pay much for herself, but because she had such an ordinary sentence, she still can't forget the tenderness and sincerity in his eyes when he said this, he was the only one since he was a child.
In fact, Ling Ling was indeed very good-looking, and the others were not unable to see it, but they did not dare to say it. Everyone will not forget the unlucky guy who was stripped off by Ling Yue five years ago, just because he glanced at Ling Ling in the market one more time, Ling Yue is not a ruthless person, but in Ling Ling's matter, reason has become a luxury for him, since then, no one dares to provoke her again, Lu Mingyi should indeed snicker.
"Don't run, don't run, don't run! With such a big beauty by his side, a fool will run, if he is abducted by a prodigal son, won't his intestines turn blue!" a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said with a smile as he gestured outside the hall door.
As soon as Lu Ming looked back, who was the strange young man he had met on the way back! When Ling Ling looked at it, he was somewhat similar to the young man in the mouth of the person Xiao Rui'er sent to bring the news. Lu Ming secretly thought in his heart: No matter what the origin of this young man is, at least he has no ill will towards himself, otherwise even if he has nine lives, he will not be able to live now, and he will find out his intentions and then make plans.
"Isn't it wrong this time?" Lu Mingyi asked deliberately.
"Brother Tai's heart and eyes are probably not as big as half a pinhole in the east of the city, and some small things are still in my mind. The boy pursed his lips and stretched out his right hand, his thumb just one-sixth of the way to the little finger.
"I'm afraid that the little brother has misunderstood, but I'm just curious, so I took the liberty to ask, I don't know why the little brother came this time?" Lu Mingyi immediately changed the topic, he knew that he would always be the one who lost.
"It's nothing special, just come and thank you for letting me ride the horse last time, you go on. After saying that, he spread his hands with a smile and swaggered out from the main entrance, but no one came up to stop him, as if there was an indescribable magic power in him, which made people prohibitive.
"Brother Mingyi, have you seen him, do you know who he is?" Ling Ling asked thoughtfully.
Lu Ming shook his head, and told Ling Ling about the young man he met on the way home, and Ling Ling told Lu Ming about the young man in the Xiao family's old mansion from Xiao Rui'er.
"Later, I also asked my aunt, my father did have the idea of switching to Tang Yan's disciples, so he would use ......" Talking about the young man's revelation that Tang Yan instigated Lu Qian, Lu Ming said in disappointment.
"It's all over, and from now on, I'm all you left. Ling Ling looked at the lost Lu Mingyi, and hurriedly reached out to put it between his lips, slowly leaning down on his solid chest, and said warmly.
