4. A big gamble
On the top of the moon, the Wushuang City at this time is still very lively, the night market is full of lights, the voices of people are boiling, the traffic is busy, and there are tourists and couples enjoying the night view everywhere.
At this moment, Lu Chen came to the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion alone, where there was a small lake, and a bridge corridor made of wooden piles stretched from the shore to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"It's been three years, father, I've come to see you!" Lu Chen carried a pot of wine and sat on the eaves of the pavilion.
The cool wind blew across the lake, causing a slight ripple, and the bangs in front of Lu Chen's forehead fluttered gently, his eyes swept over those familiar pavilions, and his heart was filled with a sour feeling.
The City Lord's Mansion is where he grew up, and every grass and tree here is like his relatives, bringing him a warm feeling, but unfortunately some things have long been different from people and are no longer what they used to be.
"Li Mengjun, you are fine now, here, do you remember the promise you once made!" Lu Chen raised his head and poured a sip of wine, letting the spicy taste fill the taste buds in his mouth, looking at this pavilion, he couldn't help but see things and people, and his eyes gradually drifted.
Time passes, and scenes change.
Memories go back to three years ago, Lu Chen was just a sixteen-year-old ignorant teenager at that time, pampered since he was a child, relying on his illustrious family background, his personality is extremely flamboyant and domineering, he does not learn and has no skills, and he causes trouble everywhere in Wushuang City all day long. His father, Lu Zhenxuan, was quite controversial among the people in Wushuang City because he had no way to teach his son, and it was very nerve-wracking to look at him.
It wasn't until one day that Li Lufang, a world friend of Yangzhou Tangling, came to visit with his only daughter Li Mengjun, which changed the trajectory of Lu Lingfeng's life.
Li Mengjun was only seventeen years old that year, one year older than Lu Lingfeng, with a flowery appearance, a natural appearance, a first-class figure, and a cold and arrogant temperament that deeply attracted Lu Lingfeng, who was accustomed to seeing flowers and plants.
It was in this pavilion that Lu Lingfeng boldly proposed to her in front of his father Lu Zhenxuan and Li Mengjun's father.
In terms of status, Li Mengjun is just a child from a low-end family, with no name in the Kyushu mainland, no status at all, and he can't be compared with Lu Lingfeng's family at all.
Speaking of which, the marriage with the Lu family can be said to have greatly elevated the status and fame of the Li Mengjun family in Kyushu.
The Li family and the Lu family are world friends, but in terms of relationship status, the Li family wants to win over the Lu family, Li Lufang of course has no opinion, and he agrees very much.
But his daughter Li Mengjun was very resistant to Lu Lingfeng, and even more opposed to this marriage.
There is only one reason, she Li Mengjun looks down on Lu Lingfeng, and looks down on a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun.
She Li Mengjun practiced martial arts at the age of six, forged her body at the age of eight, reached the triple level of acquired training at the age of eleven, refined her internal strength at the age of thirteen and joined the outer gate of Xuanyin Pavilion, and broke through to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow at the age of sixteen, ranking among the one hundred and eight places on the hidden dragon list, and was accepted as a disciple of the master, which can be said to be the ancestor of the glorious sect.
It can be said to be a famous party in Yangzhou, admired by countless famous children, and has a very proud capital.
Li Mengjun is such a proud son, with a mature heart, since he was a child, he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family, and his eyes are naturally far-reaching.
And Lu Lingfeng wants to marry her, in her opinion, this is purely just the idea of a toad wanting to eat swan meat, which is simply ridiculous and generous.
When Lu Lingfeng saw Li Mengjun for the first time, he was shocked for a while, and secretly made up his mind in his heart and vowed to marry her.
After being ruthlessly rejected by Li Mengjun, Lu Lingfeng's self-esteem was strongly trampled, and he played a scoundrel to forcibly marry Li Mengjun as his wife.
The atmosphere was very embarrassing, Li Lufang didn't want to offend the Lu family, so he had to persuade his daughter with good words, Li Mengjun felt very angry when he saw Lu Lingfeng being such a scoundrel.
Lu Zhenxuan was also speechless, he never thought that he would give birth to such a stinky and shameless man!
Li Mengjun saw that her father was in a dilemma, and she hated Lu Lingfeng very much in her heart for being so domineering, but she is also a character who eats soft and does not eat hard, and she must not agree to things that cannot be forced, it is a matter of lifelong happiness, how can she be so hasty.
So, she said something to Lu Lingfeng that he would never forget: "The man who can be my husband in the future will be a hero who is applauded by everyone, has the best martial arts, and is famous all over the world." You are a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, why do you rely on the glory of your father and the shadow of your ancestors?"
"That way, I'll only look down on you even more. I, Li Mengjun, never rely on anyone, any background, rely on my strength, everything you have now, I will get it in the future, I don't need your favor, let alone your support, put away your incomparably superior arrogance, you can't afford to play this game. ”
Receiving such cynicism, Lu Lingfeng was suddenly blindsided, he grew up in praise and flattery since he was a child, and he had never been looked down upon so much!
The other party was so arrogant and arrogant, and he was just a woman, which made him feel extremely angry and humiliated, so his brain was hot, and he proposed to make a bet with Li Mengjun.
However, this small bet unexpectedly changed the fate of the two in the future.
Li Mengjun asked him what he was betting on?
"Bet that within five years, I will definitely achieve the day you expect!" Lu Lingfeng said proudly.
There should be a big gamble in life, and it is not a big husband who does it, either he dies vigorously, or he does a great career, so that he will not go in vain in the next life!
Li Mengjun only thought it was a joke when he heard it, but he didn't care, but said coldly: "What if you can't do it!"
"For slaves and maids, a thousand knives, listen to everything!" Lu Lingfeng said confidently.
Li Mengjun is a very assertive woman, after careful consideration, in order to get rid of Lu Lingfeng's entanglement, she accepted this delaying strategy, and the two high-fived as an oath, which can be regarded as resolving the embarrassment for his father.
Lu Zhenxuan never expected that Li Mengjun's words could inspire his son so much, and he was very pleased in his heart.
So he passed the inheritance ring and the ancestral sword 'Panlong' to Lu Lingxuan at night, so as to help him fulfill his promise as soon as possible and revive the family's prestige.
Lu Lingfeng got these things, and his confidence soared, thinking that this day would come sooner or later, but as everyone knows, a long-planned conspiracy is looming over the Lu family.
He had a stubborn heart, and learned from his father that Li Mengjun stayed in his own courtyard that night, and he couldn't bear the idea of voyeurism in his heart. Taking advantage of the thick night, he dressed up in disguise, put on a night suit and touched Li Mengjun's courtyard.
Coincidentally, a top killer organization called 'Seven Killings' on the rivers and lakes had already secretly targeted the Lu family, and agreed to launch an attack on the dark and windy night of this month.
The organization of 'Seven Killings' is composed of seven killer members, with different body shapes, first-class martial arts, and cruel methods.
It is rumored that the targets that can be targeted by the 'Seven Killings' and make all of them dispatch are all rich armor, or a generation of heroes, or famous knights from all over the world.
And the Lu family was targeted by the 'Seven Killings', which is enough to explain the weight and status of the Lu family in the Kyushu Continent.
After finding out the details of the 'Seven Killings', without the slightest concern, he directly broke into the City Lord's Mansion and slaughtered like a flock of sheep.
Lu Zhenxuan was furious, and tried his best to fight back, in this extraordinary dark night, the dark clouds over Wushuang City were surging, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the wind and rain were coming. Under the cover of night, the two sides engaged in a frantic fierce battle, and the movement was very huge.
The courtyard where Li Mengjun lived was also assassinated by a member of the 'Seven Killings'.
Although Li Mengjun is talented, his strength is limited, and he is not an opponent at all, and he has been seriously injured by the opponent many times.
After the accident in the City Lord's Mansion, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the smoke was everywhere, seeing this scene, Lu Lingfeng, who was hiding under the corner of the eaves, suddenly felt bad, and panicked all of a sudden, after all, he was a second ancestor who could only eat, drink and have fun, where did he go through such a big battle, and teach a few unarmed civilians to be caught, but he didn't dare to let him kill, so he was blinded at that time.
However, when he saw Li Mengjun being attacked by a masked killer in the courtyard, a sense of courage came out of nowhere, and he quickly rushed down and hugged Li Mengjun and rolled to the side, avoiding the other party's killing moves.
Li Mengjun was hugged by Lu Lingfeng and rolled to the side, and was suddenly startled.
Lu Lingfeng was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said in her ear: "It's me, don't be afraid!"
Li Mengjun heard the familiar voice, glanced back at Lu Lingfeng, who was dressed in black and masked, and was immediately very surprised: "It's Lu Lingfeng, why are you here, and why are you dressed like this!"
Of course, Lu Lingfeng would not be stupid enough to admit that he was coming to peep, so he had to say perfunctorily: "It's a long story, let's deal with the situation in front of me first." ”
The member of the Seven Killings was also a little surprised to see the black-clothed masked man who suddenly appeared, and as soon as he thought of the plan agreed upon by the organization in advance, the killer instantly eliminated his worries and immediately slashed at Li Mengjun with his sword.
Li Mengjun was already seriously injured, at the end of the strong crossbow, where could he resist, seeing that the fragrance was about to be lost, Lu Lingfeng could watch his favorite woman being hurt, and subconsciously raised his arm to protect Li Mengjun.
However, the opponent's sword was extremely powerful, and the attack was extremely ruthless, and it cut off Lu Lingfeng's left arm in an instant.
Lu Lingfeng let out a terrible scream, and blood gushed out on the spot from the broken arm, and the hot blood splashed all over Li Mengjun's pretty face.
Li Mengjun, who has always been cold and arrogant, stared at her beautiful eyes, and her heart was shocked, she would never have thought that Lu Lingfeng would be so desperate to save her, and she would sacrifice her life against the killer, and this person was still the second ancestor she looked down on from the bottom of her heart.
The hot blood flowed, dyed her moon-white robe red, and melted into Li Mengjun's heart, and the door in her heart that was never touched by the opposite sex seemed to be pushed hard with her hand at this moment.
After the black-clothed killer cut off Lu Lingfeng's left arm, without the slightest hesitation, he kicked him away and fell into the grass without a sound.
Li Mengjun was stunned at the moment, watching Lu Lingfeng being kicked away, he was like an injured lone swallow, and his heart was desolate.
After the black-clothed killer kicked Lu Lingfeng, he transferred the object to Li Mengjun, and at the critical moment, Li Lufang killed with a sword, instantly repelled the black-clothed killer, and quickly escaped from the city lord's mansion with Li Mengjun.
