Chapter five hundred and twenty fourth provocation

The housekeeper was stunned, "What should we do?"

"There is no other way now. Keep an eye on me. You can only take one step at a time!"



Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao were staring at the cockfighting in the field without blinking.

Mu Ganren really kept his word. Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao didn't fancy the cockfight that day. He promised to perform a cockfight specifically for them, and he fulfilled his promise today.

This fighting cock on the field has deep eye sockets, bean green eyes, an iron-grey body, and its feathers are shiny like black satin. It looks dull but not stupid, ugly but not vulgar. It is obvious at a glance that it is not a Central Plains fighting cock breed.

Mu Ganren pointed at the fighting cock and said proudly, "It's ridiculous. This is a fighting cock from the Western Regions. I heard it was once offered as an offering in the palace. The last time I fought with Wang Bantou, it pecked the opponent with the force of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves." He fell to the ground and won the victory easily."

Father Xu admired from the side, "What a superb fighting cock that is brave and good at fighting!"

Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao saved Father Xu's daughter, which made him extremely grateful. They always talked about their benefactors, and whenever Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao came to Youzhou City, Father Xu would always entertain them.

Today, when he heard that Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao were coming to Mu Qianren's residence to watch cockfighting, Father Xu hurried over.

Mu Ganren took out another fighting cock from the cage.

This is a gamecock with maroon feathers, a big emerald green tail trailing behind its buttocks, a large frame, and a tall chest and tail.

"This fighting cock is quite beautiful!" Lu Wuji said involuntarily.

Mu Ganren shook his head, "It looks good, but it's actually a useless flower stand!"

Lu Wuji didn't seem to believe it, and asked slightly, "Is this true?"

Mu Qianren didn't say anything and let go of the maroon fighting cock.

Sure enough, the Western Regions Gamecocks were full of fighting spirit on the field. They pecked their beaks, swept their wings, and kicked their claws. They killed the maroon gamecocks, but they could only parry but were unable to fight back. In the middle of the battle, the maroon gamecocks were pecked several times by the Western Regions Gamecocks. With blood pouring from his head, he began to run away.

Mu Ganren caught the fighting cock from the Western Regions and returned it to the cage. He turned around and smiled at Lu Wuji and said, "There is a jargon in the cockfighting circle, which is called 'the escaped cock cannot stand three rounds and is chased away'. This maroon gamecock will definitely lose!"

Lu Wuji still had more to say, "I didn't expect that this fighting cock has such great knowledge!"

After saying that, Lu Wuji said to Lu Yuxiao who was standing aside, "Third uncle, Brother Mu performed a cockfight for us, why don't you reward Brother Mu?"

Lu Yuxiao nodded, "Of course I have to reward you. Come on, let's go to a restaurant. I'll be the host today!"

After having had enough wine and food, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao said goodbye to Mu Qianren and Father Xu and hurried back.

When they walked to Yuqian Street, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of a store.

Lu Wuji felt strange and went up with Lu Yuxiao to watch the excitement.

This is a lacquerware shop, and the shop assistant is talking condescendingly to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man folded his arms on his chest, stared at the sky, and ignored the waiter.

Behind him were three powerful men, staring fiercely at the shop assistant.

During the stalemate, a young man in Tsing Yi squeezed in from the crowd.

Lu Wuji looked at the person who came, and looked at Lu Yuxiao. It turned out to be Lu Wuyou.

Lu Wuyou whispered a few words to the waiter, then nodded.

Lu Wuyou saluted the middle-aged man very politely and said, "Sir, the clerk in our shop is rude. I will sell you this piece of lacquerware for twenty taels of silver as you asked!"

After that, Lu Wuyou motioned to the waiter to take off the lacquerware and hold it in front of the man.

This is a beautifully crafted piece of lacquerware. It is made of thick lacquer with raised patterns and is inlaid with gold and silver flowers. Even a fool can tell that this piece of lacquerware costs at least a hundred taels of silver.

But the eldest son did not hesitate to take action with only two taels of silver!

Lu Wuji also understood that this lacquerware shop was the property of the Lu family, and the reason why Lu Wuji sold the lacquerware at a low price was to settle the matter.

The middle-aged man looked Lu Wuyou up and down and said disdainfully, "Who are you?"

Lu Wuyou smiled and said, "I am the owner of this store."

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu, whom I have admired for a long time!" The middle-aged man said "I have admired him for a long time", but there was no hint of "I have admired him for a long time" in his expression.

"I don't know your guest's surname!" Lu Wuyou asked cautiously.

"My name is Wang San, and I am the nurse in Mr. Lin's house!" The middle-aged man said straightforwardly without hiding anything.

From Mr. Lin’s house?

After hearing what the man said, not only Lu Wuyou, but Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao also took a breath of air.

This Wang San must have come here deliberately to provoke, this was Lu Wuji's first reaction.

"Since the guest officer is from Mr. Lin's house, then I will give this lacquerware to the guest guest, and we will make friends!" Lu Wuyou was simply generous to the end.

"Lulu Wuyou is a bit too stingy!" Wang San smiled slightly, "Let's do this. Send five pieces of the same lacquerware to the Lin Mansion, and I will make Lu Lu Wuyou a friend. How about that?"

It was so bullying. The muscles on Lu Wuyou's face twitched, and he suddenly remembered the trouble that Lu's restaurant had encountered.

The Lu family's restaurant in Youzhou City is considered an old restaurant. Although it is not as famous as Zuixiao Tower, its business is still booming. For some reason, many flowers come to the restaurant every day to beg for food. At first, they gave them casually.

It would be enough to pass the time, but as the number of flowers increased, the wine could no longer be held. If the food was fired outside, the flowers would gather outside the restaurant and block the door, and no diners would be willing to go in.

Seeing that his business was getting sluggish, Lu Wuyou had no choice but to report to the official.

The government sent a policeman to disperse the flowers. But as soon as the policeman left, the flowers gathered around them again.

We can't keep the policemen at the door of the restaurant?

Lu Wuyou felt aggrieved. He knew clearly that it was the Lin family's envoy, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Because of the incident at the restaurant, Lu Wuyou was in a bad mood these days.

Unexpectedly, one wave was over and another wave was rising. The Lin family, who had just finished their work at the restaurant, came to the paint shop to cause trouble again. How could Lu Wuyou not be annoyed?

Lu Wuyou smiled coldly, "It's too much for your guest to say that. I won't accompany you!"

After saying that, Lu Wuyou ignored the man, turned around and walked out of the store.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Wang San sneered, took a step forward, and grabbed the back of Lu Wuyou's neck.

Wang San had obviously practiced martial arts. He pushed back hard, and Lu Wuyou took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.

Wang San didn't even look at Lu Wuyou on the ground, and waved his hand behind him, "Smash it with me!"

After hearing Wang San's instructions, the three men behind him started smashing things in the store without any scruples.

When the people watching the excitement saw this gesture, they were afraid of causing harm to the fish in the pond, so they dispersed with a roar, but no one came out to dissuade them. Apparently, they were frightened by Mr. Lin's name.

Seeing this, Lu Wuyou hurriedly stood up, bowed to Wang San and begged, "Sir, I obey you. Five pieces of lacquerware will be sent to the Lin Mansion immediately. Tell them to stop!"

"It's too late!" Wang San laughed ferociously and ordered his subordinates, "Smash it hard, not a single thing will be left!"

Lu Wuji couldn't help but sigh. Lu Wuyou was really stupid. These people were just here to cause trouble. How could they be so arrogant?

Thinking of this, Lu Wuji quietly whispered a few words to Lu Yuxiao.

After Lu Yuxiao heard this, he looked at him in astonishment.

Lu Wuji frowned and said softly, "Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late!"

Lu Yuxiao nodded and ran away quickly.

Lu Wuji squeezed out of the crowd, walked to the corner of the street and looked around, then squatted down and picked up a pebble the size of a fist, quietly hid it behind him, and then squeezed into the crowd again.

Wang San directed his men to hit Zheng Huan, but Lu Wuji suddenly rushed over from behind him, picked up a rock and hit Wang San on the back of the head.

Wang San staggered forward a few steps, but without falling, Lu Wuji kicked him hard on the butt again.

Wang San fell to the ground.

Wang San had practiced martial arts, but Lu Wuji was young and weak. If he were face to face with Wang San, he would not even be able to get close to Wang San, and he would be beaten to the ground. But he suddenly made a move, and Wang San was caught off guard.

If you don't, you will suffer a big loss.

Wang San got up from the ground and turned around. Blood was flowing from his forehead and down the corners of his eyes, and his whole face looked very ferocious. He didn't wipe it off, but just stared at Lu Wuji with squinting eyes.

The situation suddenly changed, and Wang San's men also stopped, all looking at Lu Wuji.

Wang San said nothing and pressed towards Lu Wuji.

"go to hell!"

When he got close, Wang San roared angrily, raised his fist as big as a bowl and swung it towards Lu Wuji's head.

Lu Wuji stood there stupidly. It wasn't that he didn't hide, but that he simply couldn't dodge Wang San's angry punch.

Seeing that Lu Wuji was about to suffer disaster, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Lu Wuji. The man reached out to catch Wang San's fist, raised his foot to his chest and kicked him.

With a "plop" sound, Wang San fell far away like a sack, which shows how powerful this kick was.

After the man finished kicking Wang San, he turned around and shook his head slightly at Lu Wuji without even looking at Wang San.

Lu Wuji smiled sheepishly, "Chang Boss, I'm in trouble, so I have to ask you for help!"

Chang tilted his head and smiled bitterly, "Can you do it if I don't come? If I don't help you, won't I have to die without a burial place like Yang Kang?"

It was only then that Lu Yuxiao squeezed his way in from the crowd, panting. He had only arrived at this moment, and obviously could not keep up with Chang Boutou's speed.

Of course Wang San knew Chang Boutou and the importance of Chang Boutou, so he did not act rashly even after suffering a loss.

He stood up and glared at Chang's head angrily, "Chang, think about it, are you able to have a hand in Mr. Lin's affairs?"

"Mr. Lin?" Chang raised his head and said calmly, "Go back and tell you, Mr. Lin, that Yuqian Street is my territory, and I have the final say on my territory!"

"You!" Wang San didn't expect Chang Bao's head to be so horizontal. He pointed at Chang Bao's head and was speechless.

"Get out!" Chang spat with his head.

"You wait!"

A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences. Wang San said nothing, waved to his three men, and left the paint shop in despair.
