"Father, I am already on the path you expected. Don't worry, one day I will definitely carry forward the name of the 'Unparalleled Sword Master'. The promises I made in front of Li Mengjun back then will definitely be fulfilled one by one!"
Lu Chen walked out of the wing, looked up at the night sky with the silver moon still hanging outside, and was filled with emotions for a moment.
In this life, he has clearly told himself that he has two dreams to realize.
The first one is to inherit the name of 'Pullless Sword Master' and carry it forward.
The second one is to work hard to become a hero who is applauded by everyone and stand upright, and severely defeat the spirit of Li Mengjun, a cold and arrogant woman, so that she will have no regrets in this life.
Lu Chen is the kind of person who, once he has established his dream in life, will work hard and overcome obstacles.
No matter how far or how difficult the journey is, your dreams will eventually reach the other side one day.
On the next day, after Lu Chen had breakfast, he went to the city lord's bedroom under the leadership of Tang Yun. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the spacious room was crowded with people, including elders from the Tang Yun clan, who had invited
The guests and the commander of the guards, Situ Jian, were talking to each other. Everyone had serious expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed particularly depressed.
The condition of the city lord Tang Qianjun was worse than Lu Chen imagined. He had already lost weight after not seeing him for two days. He was as skinny as a stick, his face was darkened, his temples were gray, and all the skin on his body was bulging out, like a
Earthworms lie on it, looking particularly ferocious.
In addition, his abdomen is as big as a drum, enough to hold a large watermelon, like a pregnant woman who is six months pregnant.
"A man who was born strong was actually brutalized to this extent. The tricks behind the scenes are really ruthless!" Lu Chen sighed secretly in his heart.
Looking back on the fight between the two parties yesterday, if it weren't for Tang Qianjun being infected with a strange disease, he would have been killed by a palm of this innate strong man, and he would still be alive now. For a warrior who is born strong, it doesn't matter what he is.
Whichever aspect it is, it will be a comprehensive crushing, and the strength is very different.
You must know that the process of cultivating an acquired martial artist to become an innate strong person is extremely difficult. It is like a million people crossing a single-plank bridge.
Those who can cross this threshold are all elite warriors who have received innate baptism. Their physical fitness has leaped rapidly. Ordinary poison can easily poison an innate strong man. From this, one can imagine how difficult it was for Tang Qianjun to be infected by this poison.
overbearing.
Lu Chen walked to the edge of City Lord Tang Qianjun's bed, sat down, and began to diagnose him.
The two Tang sisters stood behind them, watching this scene seriously, their pretty faces full of nervousness.
After a while, Lu Chen frowned and stood up slowly. There was a strange color in his eyes. He turned around and said to Tang Yun: "The toxins in the main body of the city have penetrated deep into the heart and lungs through the eight extraordinary meridians. I'm afraid that in time
Not much, if the city lord wasn’t an innate strong man with extremely strong vitality, I’m afraid he would have been dead long ago!”
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with my dad? He won't die, right!" Upon hearing this, Tang Xuan grabbed Lu Chen's shoulders and yelled in excitement.
Tang Yun quickly stopped her sister: "Don't get excited, just listen to what Lu Chen has to say!"
Lu Chen tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and said seriously: "Although the city lord is an innate strong man, if this continues, his life potential will be drained sooner or later, and even Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save him. At present,
, there is still hope if the city lord is still alive. I have just used silver needles to seal the Yin, Yang, Chong, and Dao meridians among the eight extraordinary meridians, forcing all the toxins in the body to one place. But time
It can only last for four hours. During this period, the city lord's body must not be moved to avoid preventing the blood flow in the body. I will go to the outskirts of the city to collect 'blood-washing flowers' to make medicine to detoxify the city lord. "
"I'll go with you!" Tang Yun said.
"I want to go too." Tang Xuan was also worried about her father's safety and said quickly.
Lu Chen said calmly: "Tang Xuan can just come with me. She is better at going to places with steep hillsides and can help me a little. Miss Tang doesn't know martial arts, so she should sit in the mansion and take good care of the city lord! Collect herbs.
That’s all, there’s no need to make such a big show of it. Besides, ordinary people don’t know the blood-washing grass, so it won’t be of any use if there are too many people there.”
Tang Yun pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Well, you are right, then I will trouble you to take care of my little sister! You must pick the blood-washing grass back. My father's illness depends entirely on you."
"Of course, otherwise, my life is not guaranteed!" Lu Chen rarely joked.
Tang Xuan urged anxiously from the side: "Stop nagging, let's go quickly. It's getting late. If my father has something wrong with him, well, just wait and see!"
"Let's go!" Lu Chen frowned, understanding the other party's anxious mood, and didn't argue too much. Then he raised his hand to Tang Yun, turned around and walked out of the hall. Tang Xuan saw this and quickly followed behind.
superior.
When Tang Yun saw them leaving, she turned around and ordered to the many senior officials standing aside: "Send the order, strengthen the guards of the mansion, and do not reveal a word of the news here. In addition, send people to cordon off the whole city and conduct a strict inspection of the White Tiger Tower.
traitors. After my father recovers, I plan to completely cleanse the underground forces in Wushuang City during this period."
When the elders heard this, they all looked shocked. What is the eldest lady going to do? Is such a big movement going to turn Wushuang City upside down?
One of the stalwart men in a yellow robe said to Tang Yun: "Miss Tang, do you suspect that the strange disease contracted by the city lord was caused by the traitors in the White Tiger Tower?"
Tang Yun thought deeply: "Well, we can't rule out that they are the ones behind it. Now that Liuyun Sword Sect has declined, its intimidation power is not as good as before. Wushuang City is the most prosperous and prosperous place in Qingzhou, and Baihu Tower has long coveted Wushuang City.
For a long time, my father is seriously ill now and has no time to manage the county. Brother Liu Hu, Wushuang City has been in constant turmoil during this time, so you should worry more!"
Liu Hu cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, young lady, the city lord is seriously ill now. I will do my best to help you and will not let those traitors with evil intentions cause trouble in the county." He looked up at Tang Yun with a pair of twinkling tiger eyes.
, full of admiration.
To be invited by the city lord to be the guest minister in the mansion and to offer them a lot of money is enough to show that their strength cannot be underestimated. Take this Liu Hu as an example, his identity is a guest minister, and his strength has reached the eighth level of the day after tomorrow.
In Wushuang City, in addition to the city lords who have reached the innate realm, there are also masters worthy of their name.
As soon as Liu Hu said this, the other guest ministers or elders all expressed their opinions and tried their best to share the worries of the eldest lady. Only Situ Jian, who commanded the guards of the city lord's mansion, stood at the back and remained silent.
The city lord treats them well. When Wushuang City is in danger, he should help them. Only then can he be worthy of his status as guest minister.
The so-called tricking others and eating their soft lips.
Tang Yun smiled softly: "Tang Yun, on behalf of my father, would like to thank you all in advance. If we get through this crisis safely, I will definitely reward you all!" She glanced at everyone, but she was actually thinking secretly in her heart.
This group of people included all the senior officials of the city lord's mansion, eight clan elders, six guest ministers, a guard commander, and two city protection generals. Before this, Tang Yun had never doubted their identities, but after experience
After experiencing the horrific experience last night, she couldn't help but wonder if there was a traitor lurking in this group. Otherwise, how could the news that his father was terminally ill leak out?
Now, she can only put away these thoughts and wait for Lu Chen to come back to collect medicine and cure her father, and then make plans.
At this moment, a hissing sound broke through the air in vain.
"Be careful, there's a hidden arrow!" Situ Jian, who was standing behind, shouted in a low voice, jumped up, reached out his hand like lightning, and quickly caught a hidden arrow that was aimed at the city lord on the hospital bed.
Then, a figure in black lurked above the corner of the tower. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly jumped off the tower and fled towards the dense alleys of the street.
"Be careful, there is an assassin!" Liu Hu immediately rushed to Tang Xuan's side and said with a serious face.
Tang Xuan hid behind Liu Hu and said, "What's going on, Situ Jian!"
Situ Jian raised the hidden arrow in his hand and responded: "There is an assassin who wants to assassinate the city lord. That guy just escaped. Please allow your men to chase the murderer immediately!"
Tang Yun said eagerly: "Then go quickly and be careful. You must catch the other party and interrogate him carefully!"
Situ Jian nodded solemnly: "Yes!" Then he turned around and rushed out of the hall, single-handedly pursuing the assassin in the direction of his escape.
Liu Hu said from one side: "Miss, don't worry, I have everything under my control. Anyone who dares to hurt you must step over Liu Hu first!"
Tang Yun looked worried, and Liu Hu's words forced her to smile: "Thank you!"
After Situ Jian left the city lord's mansion, he quickly jumped up to the roof of a nearby attic. A pair of eagle eyes scanned the surroundings carefully. When he saw a black shadow flashing across the alleyway in the southwest, he quickly jumped up and jumped up like a monkey.
Houses nearby flew around, and in a few breaths, they chased into a remote house where the assassin was hiding.
Unexpectedly, after Situ Jian entered the door, he saw a group of men dressed in black standing inside. There were thirty or forty people, motionless and neatly standing in the small courtyard, as if they were waiting for orders.
He made no sound. When one of the short men saw Situ Jian coming in, not only did he not show any surprise at him, but he bowed to him and clasped his fists, saying respectfully: "See Senior Brother Wei Lan."
This short man was the assassin who had just launched a hidden arrow to attack the city lord. The reason why Situ Jian was lured here was because they had secretly agreed upon a plan.
Situ Jian touched a subtle fold on his chin and lifted it slightly, suddenly revealing the face of a thin young man. Tang Yun would be shocked when she saw this. It turned out that this man was not the real Situ Jian, but his true identity was actually
The elite disciple of Baihu Tower and the beloved disciple of the innately powerful Lu Santong is named Wei Lan!
The innately strong man Lu Santong led the elite army of Baihu Tower to invade Wushuang City three years ago. As the new lord of Wushuang City, Tang Qianjun could sit back and watch, and immediately engaged Lu Santong in a fierce battle on the outskirts of the city. The two sides fought.
The fight lasted for a whole day and night, and ended up with both sides injured.
Tang Qianjun, the city lord of Wushuang City, did not know that when he was injured by Lu Santong, the other party had done some tricks on him, which resulted in his now greatly weakened skills and facing a death crisis.
