Today is the day when Nangong Zheng and Tang Zhan agreed to compete......

Because today, the martial arts celebrities of the four major sects are coming to the Lu Mansion at the same time, so early in the morning, the Lu Mansion is busy inside.

"I'll take care of everything!" shouted a butler-like man in the courtyard at the gate, "In the courtyard, those people clean the empty courtyard again......"

The people in the courtyard were not idle, and in order to entertain the martial arts people, they all tidied up the courtyard at the gate of the Lu Mansion one after another......

Inside the main hall of the Lu Mansion......

"Dad, is there anything you called me to do?" Lu Jing stood in the center of the main hall and asked his father Lu Zhanhong.

Lu Zhanhong first turned his back to Lu Jing, then raised his head and sighed, and then slowly turned around and said, "Jing'er...... I know you're very assertive, but what happened two days ago offended the Nangong family, I'm afraid it's ......"

"So......" Listening to his father's worried tone, Lu Jing was not nervous at all, but said calmly, "What if you offend the Nangong family, the entire Bianliang City is not his Nangong family!"

If it were in normal times, Lu Jing's unrestrained words would definitely make Lu Zhanhong angry. But today, Lu Zhanhong seemed very calm, and he didn't seem to have the intention of reprimanding Lu Jing, which made Lu Jing a little unaccustomed. Lu Zhanhong thought about it and said calmly: "I said that you are a girl's family and don't understand the rules, so that's it...... But no matter what, the lifeblood of the entire Lu Mansion is held by the people of the Nangong Murong family, if they offend them, whether they want to or not, they can do whatever they want, and it will implicate the people of the Lu Mansion......"

Lu Jing listened to it and didn't refute it immediately. She looked directly at her father, her eyes wrinkled slightly, as if she had realized something, and then said a little calmer: "Dad, I know that because of my business, everyone up and down the Lu Mansion has been implicated, maybe my responsibility is too great...... But we are all living people, and we are at the mercy of others? we can resist, we can find a way to survive and decide our own destiny!" Lu Jing's words became more and more firm.

"But what if you don't survive......" Lu Zhanhong said slightly, "Have you ever thought about it, sometimes if you don't let go of your dignity, you may indirectly hurt your other dear and loved ones, or even sacrifice their lives, if so, do you still stick to your principles?" Lu Zhanhong's tone was not serious, but he seemed to be questioning Lu Jing.

Lu Jing didn't think much about it, she replied calmly: "Maybe it is indeed possible to live in the world by being at the mercy of others, but to insist on your own principles and dignity will hurt your relatives and friends...... But if you don't have the consciousness to break through the shackles of fate, you can only be locked up in a cold and dark dungeon by others for the rest of your life. Moreover, it is not so much that rebellion may indirectly harm one's relatives, but that the burden of one's own family fate is heavier. If fate is pinched by others, then the life and death of one's relatives are decided by them, but if fate is in one's own hands, it may be more difficult to reverse the fate of life and death, but we can protect what belongs to us through our own efforts......"

Lu Jing's words are not sonorous and powerful, but they are reasonable. Lu Zhanhong closed his eyes and smiled: "Jing'er, you are still the same as when you were a child, you are still so willful......" Lu Zhanhong said that Lu Jing was "willful", but there was no criticism in his tone.

Lu Jing looked at her father with such a rare smile to herself, and she also smiled and said, "Dad, you have changed a lot......"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhanhong and Lu Jing's father and daughter looked at each other and smiled...... After being silent for a while, Lu Zhanhong mentioned again: "Jing'er, go and call Zhao'er and Meng'er over......

"Dad, we're here!" Lu Zhao's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then, Lu Zhao and Lu Meng appeared outside the door together, and then slowly walked in.

"You eavesdrop on our conversation......" Lu Zhanhong first smiled, and then said solemnly, "All kneel!"

Although Lu Zhanhong's words were serious, the children of the Lu family, who had long been accustomed to their father's thoughts, knew very well that their father did not mean to criticize them. So, Lu Zhao, Lu Jing and Lu Meng lined up and knelt down in front of Lu Zhanhong, their father.

Lu Zhanhong thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "The Lu Mansion was built by my father and your mother, and my father and your mother were tired of the hustle and bustle of life in the rivers and lakes, so they used the family's assets to build this home in Bianliang City...... Now that he is nearly 50 years old, his pursuit of life is no longer the same as when he was young. But as heirs, you are different, and you are also on a mission to revitalize your family. As parents, we just want to live in peace, but you have to have the ambition to have the world...... As Jing'er said, no matter what the future holds, you must take your destiny into your own hands. If your father and your mother can't do this, you have to do it, you know?"

"Understood!" Lu Zhao, Lu Jing and Lu Meng replied in unison.

"Okay, Zhao'er, Meng'er, you two go down first......" After Lu Zhanhong finished speaking, he asked the three kneeling people to get up, "Jing'er stays, I still have something to say to you......"

"Haode, father......" The two brothers, Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, replied, and then walked out of the door, while Lu Jing remained in the hall.

Lu Jing didn't guess that Lu Zhanhong had anything else to ask herself, so she asked, "Dad, what else do you have to do with your daughter?"

Lu Zhanhong pondered for a while, and then said to Lu Jing: "Jing'er, the person who offended the Nangong family this time has nothing to do with a person......

"Stupid ......" Lu Jing suddenly realized, knowing that his father would definitely talk about Tang Zhan, who defeated Nangong Zheng in front of all martial arts people.

Lu Zhanhong continued: "I know you, Jing'er, you like that kid surnamed Tang from the bottom of your heart, right?"

When Lu Jing heard this, her heart beat faster at first, but she was afraid that her father would have a bad impression of Tang Zhan, so she asked cautiously, "Dad, are you ...... What are you talking about?" Lu Jing's face was also a little red.

Lu Zhanhong said slowly: "That kid surnamed Tang defeated Nangong Zheng, and he was really angry with our Lu family...... But he is a subordinate after all, Jing'er, you like him, in the eyes of others, is there something wrong?"

"I like fools, weishenme cares about other people's opinions?" Lu Jing heard this, and let go of her courage to retort, "Besides, he is not a subordinate, he is a descendant of the Tang family." Dad, didn't you say that I can marry the descendants of heroes in the future? He is the son of Tang Xiaofeng, one of the seven heroes of martial arts today, and my daughter I will marry him, don't you have no opinion, Dad?"

Lu Zhanhong was not excited, but said very calmly: "I don't care if you like that stupid boy or not, but if you want to talk about marriage, you can't make such a hasty decision...... In short, there are still many things that are still unclear about the descendants of the Tang family, so let's not mention this topic for the time being. ”

"This father doesn't say it, my daughter also knows ......" Lu Jing also seemed to have a good grasp of her father's mentality, and she seemed very patient when she spoke, "Okay, today's highlight is how to defeat Nangong Zheng in front of all the martial arts celebrities, and then defeat Nangong Zheng, I'll go out now to help clean up the ......" After speaking, Lu Jing turned around and quickly left the main hall.

"Hey, this wild girl, it's still like this......" A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Zhanhong's face, I don't know if he was happy or sad......

In the backyard, Tang Zhan was trying out his pear flower gun in Zuihou to prepare for a showdown with Nangong Zheng for a while.

"There are more martial arts celebrities coming today, this time we must completely eliminate the limelight of Nangong Zheng......" Tang Zhan held the pear flower spear in his hand and said secretly in his heart. As he spoke, the pear blossom spear slashed, and a stream of air slashed, and a stone in front of the courtyard was crushed.

was in the Tang Zhan martial arts training room, and Linglong walked out of her room slowly and leisurely at this time. Her complexion today was a little not good, and her eyes were full of faint sadness.

Tang Zhan saw Linglong come out of the room and put away his pear flower gun. Seeing that Linglong seemed to be unhappy, Tang Zhan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister Linglong, what's wrong with you today, it seems that your complexion is not very good?"

When Linglong saw Tang Zhan, she immediately replied, "Yes...... It's Brother Tang...... I'm fine, really, nothing......" Linglong said as she shook her hand.

Although Tang Zhan is stupid, he is not ambiguous about this kind of obvious thing. Thinking of Lu Jing's rare anger towards her yesterday, a little girl Linglong was naturally a little melancholy. Tang Zhan thought about it, but still comforted: "Linglong girl, I know you ...... yesterday Don't be too sad, Jing'er isn't serious. ”

Linglong didn't want to think about yesterday anymore, so she pretended to be calm and said: "I forgot about yesterday's incident, you don't have to worry, Brother Tang ......" In fact, what Linglong cared about was her affection for Nangong Jun, but Lu Jing's opposition made her hesitate. On the one hand, it is the aiqing who has just sprouted, and on the other hand, it is a long-term friendship, not to mention a girl, it is difficult to choose to be a random person......

"Brother Tang, Sister Linglong, those martial arts celebrities have arrived!" At the door of the backyard, Lu Yun ran in and said.

Tang Zhan heard this, and said excitedly: "All the martial arts celebrities are here? Great, maybe the Zichuan brothers are also here...... Linglong girl, let's hurry up!"

Linglong didn't answer directly, just nodded slightly. Tang Zhan quickly ran out of the backyard, while Linglong just walked slowly behind......

On the side of the Lu Mansion compound, Lu Jing also followed her brother and younger brother to help decorate the venue to entertain martial arts celebrities from all over the world.

"Sister Jing!" At the door of the Lu Mansion, Zhao Zichuan's voice suddenly came out.

Lu Jing looked back and saw that it was her best friend Zhao Zichuan, so she ran over and said with a disdainful face: "You duckskin, why did you come so early?"

"Why do you call me that as soon as you meet?" Seeing that Lu Jing didn't give face as soon as they met, and Zhao Zichuan didn't eat this set, he turned around and asked, "How about it, is Brother Tang ready for today's showdown with Nangong Zheng?"

Lu Jing also returned to the topic, and said with a serious face: "Fool, he must be ready, but I'm worried about ......"

"Are you worried about what tricks Nangong Zheng will have?" Zhao Zichuan, who had always been familiar with Lu Jing's thoughts, said in advance, "Nangong Zheng's heart is not right, he dared to write a war against the opponent he had lost again, he must have come prepared...... However, in front of everyone's eyes, what tricks can Nangong Zheng play?" Thinking that there were many martial arts celebrities present today, Zhao Zichuan couldn't think of what kind of means Nangong Zheng would have.

"I don't know that...... But that's what worries me the most. Lu Jing said, "I never fight uncertain battles, but if I can't guess the other party's thoughts, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"You're thinking too much, Sister Jing. Zhao Zichuan said with a gentle smile, "Among the martial arts masters who came to Lu Mansion today, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the Aojing master of the Emei faction will come, no matter how tricks Nangong Zheng plays, he will not escape their eyes...... Could it be that he, Nangong Zheng, would use the dignity of the Nangong family to gamble on this inconsequential duel?"

"But I'm still not at ease......" Lu Jing said with reassurance.

"Since you can't rest assured, then I'll tell you something that makes you happy......" Zhao Zichuan said again, "I have a very special friend coming today!"

"Who?" Lu Jing asked.

"Do you want to know? This friend will be happy when you know about it...... Zhao Zichuan said with a smile.

"When are you still selling Guanzi with me?" Lu Jing said with a slightly "contemptuous" gaze.

Zhao Zichuan saw Lu Jing's rare loss, and said with a smile: "Okay, tell you...... Brother Huang Ji and Huang will be here today!"

"What, is it true?" As soon as she heard "Huang Ji", Lu Jing immediately changed her expression and said, "How do you know?"

At this moment, Tang Zhan also ran over from the backyard. Hearing the conversation between Lu Jing and Zhao Zichuan, Tang Zhan happened to hear the name of "Huang Ji", so he also ran over and asked excitedly: "Brother Zichuan, are you...... Have you contacted Brother Huang Jihuang?"

Zhao Zichuan saw that Tang Zhan was also in a hurry, so he said righteously: "Brother Huang stayed at my house for one night yesterday, and now they still have something to do in the city, and they will come to Lu Mansion later." ”

"They?" Lu Jing heard "them" and asked suspiciously, "Who else is there besides Brother Huang?"

Zhao Zichuan touched his head and said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to say, Brother Huang, he has recently called two friends, a young man who is about the same age as Brother Tang is named Xiao Tian, and a very beautiful woman named Su Jia." ”

"Yo, you, a stupid wood who is not interested in women, will also praise others for being beautiful?" Lu Jing casually grabbed Zhao Zichuan's handle again.

Zhao Zichuan saw that Lu Jing would make things difficult for him at the first opportunity, and he also wanted Lu Jing, who was "indispensable", to step down, so he glanced at it and said: "Yes, but she is a beautiful woman who is a hundred times more beautiful than you, a dominatrix!"

"Who do you say is the dominatrix?" Lu Jing was angry when she heard this, and wanted to hit Zhao Zichuan with one palm. But Zhao Zichuan was quick and dodged with a light dodge. Lu Jing was unwilling, and hit Zhao Zichuan again, and Zhao Zichuan also ran to the side.

"Okay, you two don't make trouble......" Tang Zhan stood aside dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, he could only watch these two dead friends toss and turn.

Lu Jing saw that she couldn't catch Zhao Zichuan for a while, and thought to herself that he had taken advantage of his language today, and he would take revenge later. Suddenly, Lu Jing thought that she hadn't seen Zhao Zichuan's second brother Zhao Zibo, so she asked again, "By the way, didn't your second brother come today?"

Zhao Zichuan also stopped and said, "Oh, my second brother has to take care of my second sister-in-law, and he has to help deal with some things at home today, so he didn't come today...... But it doesn't matter, the most important thing today is Brother Tang, the key is whether he is ready or not. ”

Tang Zhan said confidently: "I'm fine, everything is ready!"

Although Tang Zhan was very confident, Lu Jing on the side couldn't calm down in his heart, and he could have a hunch that Nangong Zheng would definitely not be simple today......

"The abbot of Shaolin Temple is here!" Lu Zhao suddenly shouted at the door.

"Abbot Shiming?" Zhao Zichuan exclaimed, "Shaolin disciples have arrived so soon?"

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come and meet you soon?" Lu Zhao saw Lu Jing and his group standing idly on the side, so he shouted reflexively.

"Fool, you should prepare for the duel with Nangong Zheng here, you don't have to worry about the reception......" Lu Jing said to Tang Zhan with a smile, as if he wanted Tang Zhan to put down all his burdens and prepare for the duel later.

The abbot of Shi Ming and the disciples of Shaolin were waiting outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, Lu Zhao saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "The abbot of Shi Ming welcomes him from afar, and the cold house should not be entertained, please forgive me!"

The abbot of Shi Ming is a very kind old-timer, and he also responded with a salute: "Amitabha, Lord Lu has a heart, I have heard that the descendants of the Tang family have reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and we have come to watch before the kendo conference, and I am willing to forgive you for the sin of disturbing your house." ”

Lu Jing also greeted from the side...... Immediately after the Shaolin Temple were the disciples of the Emei faction and the Wudang faction. Among them, the head of the Emei faction, Ao Jingshi, is the most conspicuous. I saw that she was dressed in a purple robe, and a martial arts sword "Wei Wu Qinghong" was inserted behind her back, and the style of customs clearance made people a little daunted. And that "Wei Wu Qinghong" is the most frightening divine weapon, and legend has it that the soul of the cadre Mo Ye was sealed in this sword. This "Wei Wu Qinghong" is known as a divine weapon on the rivers and lakes, and it is said that it is only a moment to cut off everything in the world, and the power is amazing. If it weren't for the fact that Aojing Master was too lonely and arrogant, in terms of martial arts alone, Aojing Master's martial arts could be compared with today's Seven Heroes of Martial Arts.

On the other hand, the Wudang faction is much more low-key. The celebrities of the Wudang faction are none other than Zhang Sanfeng, the head of the family, and Wu Zijun, one of the seven heroes of the martial arts and the chief disciple of Wudang. Zhang Sanfeng was too old to travel far, and Wu Zijun was said to have gone north to Dadu, but he was unable to participate in this kendo conference......

Zuihou, a big sect that came, is the more low-key Kongtong faction, not only did its head Wen Zhengxin not come, but he didn't even have a decent martial arts master, it seems that he really came to support the scene. However, according to rumors from the outside world of martial arts, many sects have been exploring a legend, that is, the legend of "Heavenly Demon Divine Skill". Legend has it that the predecessors of Shangguan Immortal Sword once inadvertently discovered this kind of evil magic, and Shangguan seniors themselves failed to understand it, but he was afraid that this magic skill would harm the martial arts if it spread in the world, so he sealed it underground. However, time has passed, and this place has now become the tunnel of the Nangong family. However, although there are legends about the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill recorded in the tunnel, nothing decent has been found in the tunnel. And after so long, people in the world have only regarded it as a legend...... Wen Zhengxin has always pursued unfathomable martial arts, and the disciples sent this time couldn't hold up the scene, and many people speculated that the purpose of the Kongtong faction's visit this time was just to explore the facts about the "Heavenly Demon Divine Skill......

The four major sects were all in place, and the Lu Mansion was immediately full of people. Although the four major sects did not send all the disciples to participate in this kendo conference, only a few representatives of the sects came, and the four sides together were enough to make the entire Lu Mansion compound boiling......

Lu Zhanhong also walked out of the main hall at this time, and saw that the people from the Lu Mansion were hurriedly greeting the famous people of the sect who came from all over the country, so he first said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, please listen to what Lu has to say." I am very grateful to all the martial arts celebrities for coming to the cold house before the Bianliang City Kendo Conference today, and today the Lu Mansion has prepared a lot of wine and fruits, and I hope that the martial arts celebrities can eat. As soon as the people from the Nangong family arrive, you can discuss matters related to the kendo conference......"

Ao Jing Shi was too majestic, and stood up and said: "I think that Lu Zhanhong, Lu Daxia and Mrs. Lu were also famous people in the rivers and lakes before they retired, and now I heard that there is a descendant of the Tang family in the Lu Mansion, it is said that he is the son of Tang Xiaofeng, one of the seven heroes of martial arts today, today we want to see what this descendant of the Tang family looks like......

The news spread in the martial arts was really fast, and in just two days of the competition, the news that Tang Zhan was a descendant of the Tang family spread throughout most of the martial arts. Tang Zhan saw that Master Aojing wanted to see him by name, and he didn't know what to do when the city was still shallow. Zhao Zichuan on the side saw it and knew Tang Zhan's embarrassment, so he whispered sideways: "Brother Tang, you avoid it now, and then come out when it's time for ......the real competition."

Although Tang Zhan was stupid and couldn't think of weishenme for a while, when he heard Zhao Zichuan's persuasion and knew the seriousness of this matter, he nodded subconsciously, and then quietly hid behind Lu Zhanhong and the others.

And Zhao Zichuan's laughter and words were heard by Lu Zhanhong. Lu Zhanhong is also very experienced, he pretended to be casual and responded to Aojing Shitaidao: "Aojing's predecessors and martial arts celebrities don't need to worry, as soon as the people of the Nangong family arrive, the descendants of the Tang family will naturally appear......" He said this, and also helped Tang Zhan avoid it.

Lu Jing thought below that the stupid Tang Zhan was standing on the stage alone, without himself by his side, he would definitely not be able to take care of his words and actions, so he avoided everyone's eyes and ears, secretly ran up the steps, and returned to Tang Zhan's side.

"Jing'er......" Tang Zhan saw Lu Jing running quickly, and subconsciously responded.

"Shhh......h

Seeing Lu Jing's serious face, Tang Zhan nodded lightly......

At this moment, Linglong walked out of the backyard slowly—she was still thinking about her own thoughts. Seeing that the audience was already full of disciples from the four major sects, Linglong instantly sobered up, and immediately ran to the back of Lu Zhanhong in front of the main hall - Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and Zhao Zichuan were all standing there......

"The people of the Murong family are here!" Lu Meng, who was standing at the door to greet Lu Zhao as a martial arts celebrity, suddenly shouted at the gate......
