Tang Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will order people to collect medicinal materials. As for the 'Blood Washing Flower', I will leave it to you. Please stay at my house for the next few days! Please don't tell me what happened today."
Leak it out."
The city lord is unconscious, and the others are embarrassed. The only one who can take charge now is Tang Yun, who can shoulder this responsibility. Although she is a woman, her strategy and courage are not manly at all. At this time, she
She must shoulder her responsibilities as the head of the family. Moreover, the fact that the city lord is seriously ill is of great concern. Once the news is leaked and spreads, Wushuang City will be greatly turbulent, and she has no choice but to worry.
You must know that the status of the city lord is like a protective god for the people of Wushuang City, and it is also the spiritual guarantee for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Outside Wushuang City, in addition to the bandits roaming the mountains and forests, in Wuxi County, which is less than a hundred miles away, there is the now famous White Tiger Tower. They have already been eyeing Wushuang City and are ready to make a move.
In today's troubled times, people's lives are in dire straits. In counties and cities where there are innately strong people, no matter who comes to act wildly, they must weigh their weight. In this world, innately strong people are like immortals to ordinary people.
, incomparable. Under the protection of the innately strong, it also means that you can live a peaceful and contented life.
Although Liuyun Sword Sect is one of the eight major sects in Kyushu today, it is at the bottom of the stream in terms of power. It has been declining over the years, and the disciples of the sect have withered away. It has long lost its glory a hundred years ago. Otherwise, the Sword Sect has led Qingzhou in these few years.
In the year, there will be no rumors that the forces of White Tiger Tower and Qingyi Sect are preparing to invade the Sword Sect's territory.
"That's natural. I am happy to be the city lord's guest. Don't worry that I will run away!" Lu Chen said like a spring breeze.
Tang Xuan snorted from the side: "Who knows what tricks you can play!"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and touched his nose, was he so annoying?
As night falls, the entire city lord's palace is ablaze with lights, and the corridors are full of guards. There is a post every five steps, a sentry every three steps, and figures can be seen swaying in the hidden turrets on the roof. The solemn atmosphere has an extremely strict atmosphere.
After the incident during the day was settled, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was arranged to live in a guest room in a side courtyard.
He now has a cooperative relationship with Tang Yun, and the other party does not treat him badly. Food and drinks are all arranged. For others, it may be a very honorable thing to climb the thigh of the city lord and become his son-in-law, but for others
For him, it caused a lot of trouble.
After dinner, Lu Chen went out of the yard alone and walked around in familiar places.
The back garden, corridors, bookstore, practice room, rockery and waterside pavilion, everything here is as familiar to Lu Chen as an old friend. The only regret is that the owner of this place is named Tang instead of Tang.
land.
Lu Chen came to the small lake in the back garden and slowly walked towards the pavilion located in the middle of the lake. It was here that year that he first met Li Mengjun, who was wearing a cloud-white robe and embroidered with green bamboo patterns.
The immortal-like temperament and the fresh and refined beauty deeply touched Lu Chen's soul.
That year, that arrogant woman didn't even look at him, and Lu Chen shamelessly circled around her.
In Li Mengjun's eyes, Lu Lingfeng will always be a second-generation ancestor living in the shadow of his ancestors, a playboy. How can such a thing fall into her eyes?
I just don't know if the beautiful woman who once made him risk his life and think about her day and night is as worried as him in the dead of night.
"Lu Chen, so you are here." A gentle voice came from behind.
Lu Chen looked back and saw Tang Yun wearing a long aqua dress and walking with four guards. Her graceful figure was like a fisherman's girl under the moonlight, showing a bit of innocence.
Pleasant.
"You guys stay here!" Tang Yun ordered the guards behind her, then walked onto the wooden bridge alone and arrived at the pavilion.
Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, looking calmly at the scenery by the lake.
"Are you from Wushuang City?" Tang Yun stood side by side with him.
Lu Chen was silent for a while and then said: "Yes!"
"Oh, is it because I am ignorant? The Lu family is not common in Wushuang City. Except for the Lu family that was exterminated a few years ago." Tang Yun said slowly with an ooh.
Lu Chen's calm eyes flickered for a moment, as if there was a ripple in the lake: "The Lu surname in the world is like a crucian carp crossing the river. Has Miss Tang ever heard of it all?"
"That's not true, I'm just curious. I wonder which sect you studied under can cultivate a genius with outstanding martial arts skills like you!" Tang Yun seemed to be very interested in Lu Chen's origins and kept asking questions.
"No one has any sect!" Lu Chen responded simply, with an expressionless face, and seemed to have no interest in talking.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Tang Yun didn't say anything for a long time. She was also a sensible woman, so it was impossible not to see that the other party hated others talking about his origins.
A gust of cool wind came from the lake, tugging at their robes and hissing. A man and a woman stood on the pavilion, looking at the lake, as if they were a landscape painting, harmonious and natural.
"How is your father's situation?" The atmosphere was quiet for a while, then Lu Chen said.
Tang Yun was startled, with a somewhat sad look on her face: "He hasn't woken up yet. His old man's health is not as good as before. Now he is seriously ill, which has caused panic and no peace in the mansion. Tang Xuan has been staying at her father's bedside to fulfill her filial piety.
!”
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then looked up at Tang Yun and said, "Before this, has the city lord ever made enemies with others, or offended anyone?"
Tang Yun raised her earlobe hair, frowned and said: "I have been practicing at the Jishi Pavilion in Zilin Xiangshan Mountain and studying medicine. I have never heard my father talk about these things. I only heard my little sister occasionally mention that more than a year ago,
The White Tiger Tower once sent innate masters to lead many of their masters to attack Wushuang City. In order to protect the people of Wushuang City, my father had a fierce battle with the innate masters of the White Tiger Tower. The two sides fought in a dark and indistinguishable manner. In the end, it ended in a draw, with both sides injured."
"Where is your father injured?" Lu Chen asked confused.
"I was stabbed by the opponent, and the wound was on my right arm!"
"Oh, is this happening?" Lu Chen lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.
Tang Yun sighed softly: "Since then, my father has been unable to cheer up, and I don't know why. It can be said that these days are like walking on thin ice!"
"So the rumors are true. Does Baihu Tower really have plans to invade Liuyun Sword Sect?" Lu Chen's voice was slightly heavy.
Tang Yun nodded and said melancholy: "The Liuyun Sword Sect's power is no longer what it used to be. Not only are the disciples under the sect withering away, but the innately strong ones have also fallen one after another in the past few years. At this time of crisis, how can we not attract the covetousness of other forces."
"It's a sign that the storm is coming!" Lu Chen sighed softly.
Tang Yun glanced at the other party in surprise and said with a smile: "Not only are you superb in martial arts, you are also involved in medicine. You are a rare talent. Why not join Liuyun Sword Sect and seek opportunities to become famous all over the world!"
"The eldest lady is joking. The heroes in the world are like stars and crucian carp across the river. There is no place for Lu to stand. I don't dare to hope!" Lu Chen's attitude was very humble.
Tang Yun stared at Lu Chen, who had an extraordinary temperament, with longing eyes: "Brother Lu, you are too modest. I don't know when we will set off tomorrow. I will go to Niutoushan with you."
"What should I do, sir?" Lu Chen said.
Tang Yun smiled lightly and said: "Do you really think that the city lord's mansion is not guarded by any experts besides my father? You are too underestimated of my Tang family!"
Lu Chen looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this: "Lu is being superficial. I will inform you about the medicine collection tomorrow!"
"Well, I'm always waiting for you!" Tang Yun nodded, then turned and left.
Lu Chen looked at the other party's graceful back and said secretly: "This woman is not simple. The city lord is seriously ill, but she still has the means to stabilize people's hearts and manage the city lord's mansion in order. If it were an ordinary woman, she would never do it.
Although she is a woman, she can still stand alone. This person should not be underestimated." After some simple contact, his impression of Tang Yun changed subtly. This woman was not only beautiful, but also had a great mind.
It's simple.
"Help!" Not long after Tang Yun left, a rapid scream came from the back garden.
Later, there were bursts of nervous and urgent shouts from the guards: "Who is coming? Put down the young lady quickly!"
"There are assassins, there are assassins!"
For a time, the hurried footsteps of guards could be heard everywhere in the city lord's mansion, torches swayed, and the sky-high flames illuminated the entire city lord's mansion.
Lu Chen stood on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looked up and saw, under the bright moonlight, a mysterious figure carrying a person, gliding rapidly over Wushuang City.
"This matter is not as simple as imagined. The city lord just fell, and some people couldn't hold it anymore!" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, kicked the ground with the sole of his foot, and stood up like an arrow from the string.
, stepping on the willows by the lake, his figure was as easy as a feather and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.
"Whoosh!"
In a remote house in Wushuang City, a man in black, wearing night clothes, shuttled nimbly through the alley like a night cat, flashing and turning, several feet away, his movements were light and he didn't make any sound.
The figure on the shoulder struggled wildly and shouted curses in a low voice, which was particularly harsh in the quiet alley at night.
"Asshole, please don't worry about me, young lady, otherwise, you will be unable to eat and walk around in circles!"
"Who sent you here, and what's their purpose!"
The man in black said nothing and went his own way, carrying her and flying towards the southeast, like a big bird with long wings, flying over the attics of houses under the bright moonlight, allowing Tang Yun to intimidate and lure her, but still
It's expressionless.
Tang Yun was extremely anxious. This man in black was obviously evil. He was able to kidnap her in the heavily guarded city lord's mansion. His strength should not be underestimated. There must be a mysterious force behind it, plotting against the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, the city lord would
Just when she fell ill, the men in black broke in and kidnapped her. This kind of thing was too much of a coincidence.
"Who are they?" Tang Yun frowned, feeling a little confused in her heart.
