"What's wrong? Master Chen Xin isn't here?" Brother Song beside him slowly stretched his waist and sat up.
"I didn't see anyone else early in the morning, and I don't know where he went." Lu Tianyang whispered. "Maybe he went out to have a private meeting with some girl." He said with a smile that every man knows.
Brother Song followed him and laughed twice, and the two quickly got up, dressed neatly, and walked out of the house.
The rest of the people had also gotten up. Lu Quan'an was standing beside the bullock cart, directing two soldiers to help carry things.
"You guys are up, where is Chen Xin? Where did that kid go?" Lu Quanan frowned and glanced at Lu Tianyang.
"Uh...he should be outside. I haven't seen him since I came here." Lu Tianyang touched his head and replied.
"Dongzi! Xiaolin! Where are the people? Where did Mr. Duge die!?" Brother Song yelled loudly over there. He angrily stood by the completely extinguished bonfire, his face a little ugly.
"I asked two monkeys to watch him for the rest of the night, but the fire was extinguished and the tinder could not be turned over. These two little turtles!" Brother Song became angry and cursed and roared.
All the soldiers looked at each other in shock, and subconsciously looked for Dongzi and Xiaolin who were keeping watch at night.
"Who has seen Xiao Lin?" Brother Song asked sharply.
A group of people shook their heads.
"I haven't seen anyone since I woke up so early in the morning. Have you gone to pee?" someone laughed.
"Bullshit!" Brother Song looked at the Lu family members on the side, and his expressions were a little ugly. They are the city guards, and these are all relatives of the second-in-command master. There is a loophole here, and if the news is passed back, the second master will be included.
ears.
"Find the person for me and don't waste time!" he ordered.
Lu Quan'an also searched for a while and found that there was no one there and couldn't find any trace anywhere. He suddenly became a little anxious. No matter how bad Lu Chenxin was, he was still his son after all.
Both sides looked for people together. The three living people didn't react at all and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Tianyang felt a little nervous and quietly approached Zhang Xiuxiu.
"Did Chen Xin look for you last night? Xiuxiu."
"No, I didn't wake up all night. I slept very deeply." Zhang Xiuxiu also felt something was wrong and her face turned a little pale.
Lu Tianyang was also panicked. He saw a large group of people shouting and looking everywhere, but there was no response from the entire village.
Lu Quan'an felt sweat on his forehead and arranged people everywhere. He searched in front, back, left and right of the village, but still couldn't find anyone.
"Master, we can't find anyone!" Brother Song quickly received the news from his subordinates and quickly reported back to Lu Quan'an.
"No one can be found..." Lu Quan'an looked around and felt that this small village seemed to have a different kind of eerieness.
"No, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time! We have to leave quickly."
"But the three missing people..." Liu Cuiyu, the second mother, said worriedly.
"Leave here first, and then send people to look for you. We can't all be here!" Lu Quan'an said urgently. This world is extremely dangerous, and you can't put all your eggs in one basket like this.
"Master, Chen Xin hasn't been found yet, so we can't leave!" Sanniang Wang Yanyu said anxiously.
"I'm not leaving. I plan to move everyone first and then come back to find us. We'll leave a mark for Xiaosan to let him know where we are." Lu Quan'an said seriously. He couldn't bear to leave Sanzi, but the situation was not good at the moment.
, the two soldiers keeping watch at night were not ordinary people, they were strong men, and they actually disappeared without saying a word.
This is not an ordinary thing.
He suspected that he and others were involved in some trouble.
"Master!" Wang Yanyu begged.
"We must go! Now!" Lu Quan'an said solemnly.
Under the command of him and Brother Song, everyone quickly assembled their team, dragged the ox cart and horse carriage, and slowly left the deserted village.
Lu Quan'an left a horse and some food and water for Lu Chenxin and three soldiers. They were placed by the well in the center of the village. It is the most eye-catching place. As long as you enter the village, you can see it at a glance.
.
Lu Quan'an actually knew in his heart that the three of them were missing in this wilderness and were in serious danger...
After all, it was impossible for the three of them to go far in this kind of wilderness. And when they didn't go far, so many people were shouting and still didn't come out. I'm afraid something really happened.
Although he was heartbroken, what he should do more at this time was protect everyone.
*********************
Red Whale.
In the spacious conference hall, the old gang leader, Chen Ying, several foreign and internal envoys, and Lu Sheng were all present.
Early in the morning, the old gang leader sent people around to notify all the middle and high-level gang members to come to the meeting.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they rushed over one after another and sat down in their seats to wait.
Lu Sheng sat in the sixth seat of the foreign envoy, which was originally Wu San's seat.
The cool sunlight shines in from the side of the hall, passes through the carved windows, and falls on the ground into various skewed patterns.
The maids served scalding hot tea and cakes one after another, and then left.
The old gang leader Hong Mingzi's eyes were solemn and solemn as he scanned the entire audience.
"Okay, everyone, everyone, please go down." He raised his hand.
All the maids and guards took the order and exited the hall one after another, leaving only the top brass of the Red Whale Gang.
The door slowly closed until there was a muffled bang and it was completely closed. The air in the hall became heavier and heavier, and everyone could see that the old gang leader's expression was very wrong at this time.
"What happened?" Chen Ying frowned and asked.
"Gang leader, what happened in the south?" asked a foreign envoy.
"No, there is a problem in our jurisdiction." The old gang leader said solemnly. He gently took out a silver letter from his sleeve. This letter was very strange. It was not made of paper, but made of a strange silver metal.
made.
"Everyone knows who is standing behind our Red Whale Gang. The news this time was delivered by them." Hong Mingzi's voice was not loud, but the news he conveyed shocked everyone.
.
"The news they spread?" Chen Ying unconsciously clenched the armrests of his seat with his big hands. "They spread the news ten years ago. At that time, thousands of people in our gang died. This time there is news...
." He looked ugly.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"I wonder what they are...?"
"It's the Zhen family." Hong Mingzi, the old gang leader, replied.
"Aristocratic family..." Lu Sheng was shocked. Sure enough...
The rest of the people also fell silent. Only people like them, who are in a higher position than mortals, understand the meaning of the word "Aristocratic Family".
Everyone's expressions were solemn.
"The Zhen family usually doesn't take action. Once they do, it means that the situation has reached a point where action has to be taken. Could it be that now..." Mr. Wang said solemnly.
"The situation is very bad now." Hong Mingzi said solemnly. "I just received the news that one night, the entire Northland, from Xichuan Prefecture to Donglin Prefecture, all areas under the jurisdiction of our Red Whale Gang, were
Eight forbidden areas appeared during the night!”
"Eight forbidden areas??" Chen Ying opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but stand up.
Not only him, but the others were also in an uproar.
What is the concept of a forbidden land? The Songjiazhuang that Lu Sheng broke out of after being injured is a forbidden land, and it is also a low-level forbidden land that has just been formed. The Northland is only so big in total. There were originally many forbidden lands, but now there are eight more forbidden lands suddenly. This
This means that you might accidentally take the wrong path one day and enter a forbidden area.
When you realize that you want to escape, it depends on your luck. If you are not lucky, you don't know how you will die.
Lu Sheng also realized the seriousness of the problem, his body tensed slightly, and he listened attentively to the old gang leader's continued words.
"The Zhen family thought this was a serious provocation against them, so they sent a special person to deal with it." Hong Mingzi said succinctly, "The person from the family who was sent to solve the problem was named Zhen. He asked us to deal with the aftermath.
The work and the eight forbidden areas require our full cooperation to avoid causing chaos among the people."
"Can he solve it alone?" Chen Ying asked with a frown.
"The Zhen family did not mention the second person. Only Mr. Zhen Xun came out. But according to normal circumstances, Mr. Zhen Xun should be the leader, and there will be others going out together. Otherwise, there will be so many people coming and going in so many places.
It takes a lot of time just to travel." Hong Mingzi replied. "Everyone should take a look at the information on the eight forbidden places."
He handed the letter in his hand to Chen Ying. Chen Ying glanced at it, read it and passed it to others, and so on.
Soon, Lu Sheng got the letter and unfolded it gently.
On the letter was a map, with most of the Northland on it, clearly marked by eight small red dots.
As he watched, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at one of the small dots.
"Is there a forbidden area between Jiulian City and Yanshan City?" He couldn't help but asked.
"Yes." Hong Mingzi, the old gang leader, nodded, "Junior brother, you'd better inform your family to avoid this point."
Lu Sheng nodded solemnly.
This was his first formal contact with other members of the aristocratic family except Kaifeng Muwan. He didn't know how they were different from ordinary people and those who practiced martial arts.
Perhaps this time we can see the key.
After explaining the matter, the old gang leader quickly arranged for people to be responsible for the aftermath of the forbidden areas in different places.
Lu Sheng was also assigned a task, seemingly to take care of him. He was responsible for the forbidden area between Jiulian City and Yanshan City.
After the meeting ended, Lu Sheng quickly ordered his troops. There were twenty people in total, plus twenty-one for him, five masters of Tongli Realm Flying Eagle Hall, and the rest were strong and strong swordsmen. Twenty people and twenty horses, fast.
Run to the location.
He wanted to see what was the difference between people from aristocratic families and ordinary people.
After galloping all the way, without sparing any effort, Lu Sheng finally arrived at the forbidden area almost at noon.
.............
Deserted village.
After Lu Quan'an waited for the carriages and horses to drive away slowly, at almost noon, the village next to the official road welcomed another visitor.
Under the gray sky, a black horse without any mottled colors walked slowly into the small village.
Riding on the horse was a young man with a gentle temperament and a smile.
"Is this here?" The smile on the young man's face did not change, as if he was stiff, always looking the same.
He was dressed in a green shirt, unarmed, and did not have any weapons hanging on his body. He only had a piece of dark green jade tied around his waist, which was simple and simple.
