"Father, I am already on the path you desired, and rest assured that one day, I will carry forward the name of the 'Peerless Sword Master'. The promises made in front of Li Mengjun back then will definitely be fulfilled one by one!" Lu Chen walked out of the wing room, looking up at the night sky where the silver moon was still hanging outside, and he was full of emotion for a while.

In this life, he once clearly told himself that he had two dreams to come true.

The first is to inherit the name of the 'Peerless Sword Master' and carry it forward.

The second is to strive to become a hero who is applauded by all the people, standing up to the sky, and frustrating Li Mengjun's cold and arrogant woman's spirit, and has no regrets in this life.

Lu Chen is the kind of person who will work hard and overcome obstacles once he has established his life dream.

No matter how far away and how difficult the road is, the dream will eventually reach the other side one day.

On the second day, after Lu Chen had breakfast, he came to the city lord's bedroom under the leadership of Tang Yun, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the spacious room was crowded with people, including elders from Tang Yun's clan, invited guest qing, and guard commander Situ Jian, discussing each other, everyone had serious expressions, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

City Lord Tang Qianjun's condition was even worse than Lu Chen imagined, and after only two days of not seeing him, he was already emaciated and unable to look like a man. Dry and thin, his face is black, his temples are white, and his skin all rises up one by one, like an earthworm lying on it, which is particularly hideous.

In addition, his belly was as big as a skin drum, large enough to stuff a large watermelon, like a pregnant woman who was six months pregnant.

"A dignified congenital powerhouse has been brutalized to this point, and the methods behind the scenes are really ruthless!" Lu Chen sighed in his heart.

Thinking back to the fight between the two sides yesterday, if it weren't for Tang Qianjun's strange illness, he was afraid that he would have been killed by this innate powerhouse with a palm, and he would not be able to die now. For the innate powerhouse, no matter which aspect it is, it is a comprehensive crush, and the strength is very different.

You must know that the process of cultivating an acquired martial artist to become an innate powerhouse is extremely difficult, such as millions of people crossing a single-plank bridge, one in ten thousand, and extremely harsh.

Those who can cross this threshold are all elite martial artists who have been baptized by the innate baptism, and their physical fitness has jumped rapidly, and ordinary poison can easily poison a congenital powerhouse. From this, it can be imagined how domineering Tang Qianjun is when he is infected with this poison.

Lu Chen walked to the edge of the city lord Tang Qianjun's bed and sat down, and began to diagnose him.

The two Tang sisters stood behind them, watching this scene seriously, their pretty faces full of nervousness.

After a while, Lu Chen frowned, and then slowly stood up, with a strange look in his eyes, he turned to Tang Yun and said: "The toxins in the main body of the city have penetrated into the depths of the heart and lungs through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, I am afraid that time is running out, if it weren't for the fact that the city lord is a congenital powerhouse and has extremely strong vitality, I am afraid that he would have been unable to return to heaven long ago!"

"What are you talking about, what's wrong with my father, he won't die, right!" Tang Xuan heard this, grabbed Lu Chen's shoulder, and yelled excitedly.

Tang Yun hurriedly stopped her sister: "Don't be excited, listen to Lu Chen's words!"

Lu Chen tidied up his somewhat messy clothes slightly, and said solemnly: "Although the city lord is an innate powerhouse, if it continues like this, the life potential will be squeezed out sooner or later, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to save even the Great Luo Jin Immortal." At present, there is still hope for the city lord to survive, I have just used a silver needle to seal the yin dimensional vein, yang dimensional vein, chong vein, and belt vein in the eight veins of the strange meridian, forcing all the toxins in my body to one place. However, the time can only last for four hours, and during this period, the body of the city lord must not be moved, so as not to prevent the blood flow in the body. I'm going to the outskirts of the city to pick 'blood washing flowers' to make medicine and poison for the city lord. “

"I'll go with you!" Tang Yun said.

"I'm going too. Tang Xuan was also worried about her father's safety, so she hurriedly said.

Lu Chen said indifferently: "Tang Xuan can go with me, she is better, she can go to some steep places, she can help me some." Miss Tang doesn't know martial arts, so let's sit in the mansion and take care of the city lord! Besides, ordinary people don't know bloodweed, so it's useless if there are too many people. ”

Tang Yun pondered for a moment before nodding: "Well, you're right, then please take care of your little sister! ”

"Of course, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed!" Lu Chen rarely teased.

Tang Xuan urged anxiously on the side: "Don't be verbose, let's go." It's not too early, if my father has three long and two short, hmph, you just wait and see!"

"Let's go!" Lu Chen frowned, feeling the other party's anxious mood, and didn't do much to argue with words. Then he arched his hand towards Tang Yun, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, Tang Xuan saw this, and hurriedly followed behind.

After Tang Yun saw them leaving, he turned to the many high-level officials standing aside and ordered: "Pass the order, strengthen the guard strength of the mansion, and don't reveal a word about the news here." In addition, people were sent to blockade the whole city and strictly investigate the traitors in the White Tiger Tower. After my father recovers, I plan to completely purge the underground forces of Wushuang City during this time. ”

When the elders heard this, they all looked shocked. What is the eldest lady going to do, such a big move, is it going to turn Wushuang City upside down?

One of the sturdy men in a yellow robe said to Tang Yun, "Miss Tang, do you suspect that the city lord's strange illness is the treacherous act of those White Tiger Towers?"

Tang Yun pondered: "Well, it can't be ruled out that they are making trouble behind their backs. Now that the Liuyun Sword Sect is in decline, the deterrent effect is much worse than before. Wushuang City is the richest and most prosperous place in Qingzhou, Baihulou has long coveted Wushuang City, and his father is now seriously ill and has no time to govern the county. Brother Liu Hu, there has been a lot of turmoil in Wushuang City during this time, you have to worry a lot!"

Liu Hu arched his hand and said: "Eldest Miss, rest assured, the city lord is seriously ill now, and he will do his best to assist, and will not let those traitors with bad intentions make trouble in the county town." He looked up at Tang Yun, a pair of shining tiger eyes full of admiration.

Being able to be invited by the city lord to become a guest in the palace and offer them a lot of money is enough to show that their strength is definitely not to be underestimated. Take this Liu Hu as an example, his identity is a guest qing, his strength has reached the peak of the eightfold day after tomorrow, and in the entire Wushuang City, in addition to the city lord who has reached the innate realm, he is also a famous master.

As soon as Liu Hu said this, the rest of the guests or elders all expressed their positions, trying their best to share the worries of the eldest lady. Only Situ Jian, who commanded the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, stood behind, silent.

The city lord is not thin on them, and when Wushuang City is in danger, he should help him, which is worthy of the identity of Keqing.

The so-called means of taking people is a soft mouth.

Tang Yun smiled softly: "Then Tang Yun thanked you in advance on behalf of her father, if you survive this crisis safely, you will definitely be rewarded heavily!" Her eyes swept over everyone, in fact, she was secretly thinking in her heart.

In this group of people, all the high-level leaders of the City Lord's Mansion gathered, eight clan elders, six guest kings, as well as a guard commander and two city protection generals. Before this, Tang Yun had never doubted their identities, but after a terrible encounter last night, she couldn't help but wonder if there were moles hidden in this group, otherwise, how did the news of his father's terminal illness leak out?

Now, she can only put away these thoughts and wait for Lu Chen to come back from collecting medicine to cure her father, and then make plans.

At this moment, a sound of breaking the air sounded in vain.

"Be careful, there are hidden arrows!" Situ Jian, who was standing behind, let out a low shout, jumped up, reached out like lightning, and quickly grabbed a dark arrow that was shot at the city lord on the hospital bed.

Subsequently, above the corner of the tower. There was a black-clothed figure lurking, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly jumped off the city tower and fled towards the dense lanes of the street.

"Be careful, there are assassins!" Liu Hu immediately rushed to Tang Xuan's side, and said with a serious face.

Tang Xuan hid behind Liu Hu and said, "What's the matter, Situ Jian!"

Situ Jian raised the dark arrow in his hand and responded: "There is an assassin who wants to assassinate the city lord, that guy has just escaped, please allow his subordinates to chase the murderer immediately!"

Tang Yun said eagerly: "Then you go quickly, be careful, you must arrest the other party back and interrogate carefully!"

Situ Jian nodded heavily: "Yes!" Then he turned around and rushed out of the hall quickly, single-handedly pursuing the direction of the assassin's escape.

Liu Hu said on the side: "Miss, don't worry, everything has me, whoever dares to hurt you will step on Liu Hu first!"

Tang Yun looked worried, and Liu Hu's words made her barely squeeze out a smile: "Thank you!"

After this Situ Jian left the city lord's mansion, he quickly jumped onto the top of the eaves of a nearby attic, a pair of eagle eyes carefully swept around, and saw a black shadow flashing in the southwest laneway, and hurriedly jumped up, like a monkey flying in the nearby houses, and in a few breaths, he chased into a remote house where the assassin was hiding.

Unexpectedly, after Situ Jian entered the door, he saw a group of men dressed in black standing inside, there were thirty or forty people, motionless, standing neatly, as if they were all waiting for orders to stand in the small courtyard, without making a sound. When one of the lowly men saw Situ Jian come in, not only did he not show a look of surprise at him. Instead, he bowed down and clenched his fists at him, and said respectfully: "See Senior Brother Wei Lan." ”

This low man was the assassin who had just launched a hidden arrow to attack the city lord, and the reason why he lured Situ Jian here was because they had secretly agreed on a plan.

Situ Jian touched a slight fold in his chin, lifted it slightly, and suddenly revealed a young face with a thin face, Tang Yun would definitely be surprised when he was here. It turned out that this person was not the real Situ Jian, and his real identity was actually the elite disciple of the White Tiger Tower, the beloved disciple of the congenital powerhouse Lu Santong, named Wei Lan!

And the congenital strong Lu Santong had three years ago, led the elite army of the White Tiger Tower to invade the Wushuang City, Tang Qianjun, as the new city lord of the Wushuang City, could sit idly by, and immediately had a fierce battle with Lu Santong on the outskirts of the city, the two sides fought for a day and a night, and the battle was turned upside down, and finally ended in both defeats.

Tang Qianjun, the city lord of Wushuang City, didn't know that when he was injured by Lu Santong, the other party had done something to him, which caused him to regress greatly and face a death crisis.
