After Lu Santong was seriously injured by Tang Qianjun, he had been recuperating in the White Tiger Tower lair. He informed his disciple Wei Lan that Tang Qianjun, the lord of Wushuang City, was going to die soon, and hoped that he could find a way to seize control of Wushuang City.
When Wei Lan heard the news, he felt excited for a long time. Being entrusted with such an important task by his master showed how much his master Lu Santong valued him. If he could seize control of Wushuang City without any bloodshed, it would definitely be a great achievement.
By then, his status in the White Tiger Tower will definitely increase significantly. Not only will he be able to enjoy glory and wealth, but he may also be able to receive key training from the White Tiger Tower. How could Wei Lan not be tempted?
So, he secretly sneaked into Wushuang City and began to carefully collect valuable intelligence for planning. At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates to bribe various forces in Wushuang City and create chaos in order to distract the city lord from controlling Wushuang City. He secretly sneaked into the city lord's mansion.
, killed the guard commander Situ Jian, and used disguise to impersonate his identity, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the city lord, and captured Wushuang City in one fell swoop.
Originally, all this was in his plan. It took two years to prepare, and it was about to be completed. Unfortunately, who knew that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and Lu Chen of unknown origin suddenly ran out, disrupting everything.
His plan was revealed, which made him extremely angry.
"How's the situation?" Wei Lan said solemnly.
The short and sturdy man sighed: "The situation is not going well. Lei Gang was killed while performing his mission, and the bitch Black Widow also died. The murderer is very strong, but it is a pity that the origin of the other party has never been found!"
Wei Lan said: "I know that this person's name is Lu Chen. He is the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai, the current city lord, and he is quite powerful."
The short and sturdy man showed a surprised look: "Elder brother, can you find out the origin of the other party!"
Wei Lan shook his head and said: "I have investigated secretly, but I haven't found any useful information. I only know that this man is from Wushuang City and was born a commoner. His father once served in the city guard army and served as a corps commander.
His qualifications are not very high, but unfortunately he has died in the war. His mother was a cook in a wealthy merchant family. Later, he accidentally offended a powerful man and was framed to death. When his parents died, this man was just sixteen years old, so he left his hometown.
He began to travel around the world, and then by chance, he joined a small sect. He practiced martial arts for three years, learned many skills, and came back with considerable strength. A few days ago, Tang Qianjun held a martial arts competition for his daughter Tang Xuan to recruit a bride. This man kept silent
, suddenly defeated the Tang family's daughter in one fell swoop, shocking the whole city. Then he became the city lord's son-in-law Chenglong, and rose to the top in one step."
In fact, although Wei Lan was backed by Baihulou, it was a pity that Lu Chen's true identity was not investigated. The news he investigated these days was completely false. Before Lu Chen came down from the mountain, he specially found someone who had died outside for many years and was with him.
The identities and backgrounds of men with the same name and similar ages have been carefully arranged so that no one can detect them. The main purpose is to prevent others from seeing through the details and causing big trouble.
"So that's it. Senior brother, what do you think we should do next?" The short, strong man nodded thoughtfully and then said.
Wei Lan clasped his hands behind his back, with a stern look in his cold eyes: "This man claims to be proficient in medicine and claims to be able to cure the city lord's strange diseases. He is highly trusted by the city lord's two daughters. He was just arranged by the city lord's eldest lady to go out of the city to collect medicine.
Go, the city lord is hanging by a thread now, waiting for him to save the situation! I don’t know if this person is just being cryptic, or if he is really capable. However, we can’t just sit back and wait for death, we must leave this person outside the city and put him to death. How dare you
If he blocks our plan, it depends on how many lives he has to endure in this muddy water."
The short man also sneered and said: "Elder brother is right, this man has blocked our plan time and time again and he should have died long ago. I will send someone to kill him right away and avenge my brother Lei Gang!"
When Wei Lan heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Zhou Yunhai, you idiot, even Lei Gang, Qian Weiwei and the others can't deal with you. Who do you want to send to kill him and let the brothers die?"
Zhou Yunhai was trained so hard that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wondered: "Is this person really that powerful?"
Wei Lan shouted coldly: "Nonsense, this man is no weaker than me, and must not be underestimated. You personally take the 'Thirteen Swords of Yuhua' to Niutoushan, ambush in secret, and look for opportunities to strike! You must kill him.
This person cannot be retained. Once Tang Qianjun wakes up, our carefully arranged plan will fall short and be completely ruined!"
Zhou Yunhai nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I will make arrangements right now to kill the boy who ruined our good deeds!"
Wei Lan said favorably: "It's good that you know, success or failure depends on it. I also have to monitor the people in the city lord's mansion to avoid being suspected!" After giving these instructions to his subordinates, he put on his leather mask again and turned around to go out.
Small courtyard.
"We still need to dispatch the 'Thirteen Swords of Rain Flower'. It seems that the senior brother is very jealous of this kid!" Zhou Yunhai was secretly shocked when he saw Wei Lan's solemn expression just now.
In the center of the streets of Wushuang City, people were coming and going, and there was a constant flow. Suddenly, two tall, fiery-red war horses galloped from the direction of the city lord's mansion. Riding on them were a young man with an indifferent expression and an anxious young girl.
, looking anxious, he headed straight out of the city, knocking over countless passers-by and stalls along the way.
"Wow, it's a fiery horse. It's hard to buy for a lot of money. It's really rare!"
"Isn't that the city lord's daughter? Why is this happening today?"
Passers-by looked at the two people who were quickly walking away, pointing and talking.
In a nearby attic, a slovenly man was sitting, carrying a rusty ancient sword behind him. Next to him was a large jar of dusty old swords. I don’t know where they came from. After a while, there was a piece missing from it.
Most of them were still holding old-style gourds in their hands, pouring drinks into their mouths, and their slovenly appearance was really unattractive.
"Hey, isn't this that boy Lu Chen, taking that little girl Tang Xuan, rushing to where he is? Are you planning to elope? No way! He has entered the role of the city lord's son-in-law so quickly, it's amazing! Another day
, I must ask him for a wedding drink." Duguxia stared at the two figures going away and said to himself, baring his teeth and smiling.
"Hey, you stinky beggar, you came to us again to steal wine from the tavern. Are you looking for a fight?" A waiter saw Duguxia sitting on the edge of the attic with a jar of wine and drinking happily.
He was instantly furious. This was already the seventh time he saw this guy sneak into their shop and drink. He really thought their Feng Laike Tavern was a charity shop.
Duguxia looked back with a blushing face and said with a silly smile: "Look at what you guys said, don't be so stingy. It's not like you won't give me the money. I'll put it in the hero's account first and pay it back three times the next day.
"
The waiter in green clothes and hat looked at him contemptuously: "You still keep accounts, bah, I don't care about your virtues. You dress like a stinky beggar. Our store can't afford to support a big Buddha like you!"
The waiter is justified in saying he is angry. This Dugu Xia drinks wherever he goes without paying a penny. He is like an iron rooster. He has brought disaster to the restaurants in Wushuang City all over the place. It can be said that he is notorious.
Duguxia grinned and said: "Brother, don't worry, I have plenty of money, but it's just kept in the hands of my mother-in-law. She has been under strict control recently and won't be able to get out the money for a while, but I promise to give it to you in the future."
It’s yours, don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious!”
The waiter put his hands on his hips and turned over the silver: "I can't believe you, I don't know how many times you told me this excuse. In the end, you still didn't even see a hair. You treat me like a three-year-old child! Today, you
Whatever you say, you have to give me your money." As soon as he finished speaking, four strong men suddenly rushed out from behind the waiter, holding long sticks and pounced on Dugu Xia like wolves and tigers.
When Dugu Xia saw this, he screamed: "Oh, brother, if you are serious, I won't play with you anymore!" He kicked the big wine jar next to him, and it fell to the back with a loud bang.
, and immediately hit a piece, he stepped on the railing, jumped up gracefully, and slid towards the prosperous place of Wushuang City like a big bird, extremely carefree and unrestrained.
"Borrowing a pot of muddy water, you can come and go without a trace! Drunk and ask about the affairs of the world, talk about heroes over wine. Haha, what a joy, what a joy!" The hearty laughter spread throughout the streets and alleys, and countless people were shocked by it.
As this heroic and hearty sound sounded, countless passers-by on the bustling streets immediately looked up, feeling yearning and envy in their hearts.
In this land of Kyushu, martial arts are popular. Everyone dreams that they can be like the legendary knights, wielding swords across the world, traveling thousands of miles, visiting every corner of the world, leaving their own footprints. In this world of mortals, everyone has experienced
Such a wonderful life makes this trip worthwhile!
The waiters and a group of others rushed to the railing and looked at the figure gliding in the sky. Their eyes were filled with astonishment, and their eyes were full of envy. They immediately exclaimed: "I can't tell, this is...
The sloppy man is actually a master of martial arts, and he is indeed a man beyond his appearance. If I could live a life of leisure and ease like him, I would not have wasted my time in this world!"
After leaving the city gate, Lu Chen and Tang Xuan went straight to Niutoushan, rolling up a billowing smoke on the official road.
"Hey, Lu Chen, follow me quickly. Niutou Mountain is a hundred miles away. Hurry and collect the blood-washing grass and go back to save my father!" Tang Xuan urged while whipping Huo Lie under her body.
horse.
Lu Chen ignored him, but was surprised in his heart by the speed of the fiery horse galloping under him. It was so fast, it was as if it was flying close to the ground, like lightning. If you were driving at such an amazing speed, you probably wouldn't need to
Half an hour is enough to reach Niutoushan, a hundred miles away.
The fiery horse is worthy of being one of the five most famous horses in the world, with such amazing speed.
As far as he knows, most of these flaming horses come from the northwest desert, where the climate is dry and the vegetation is lush, which is most suitable for the flaming horses to survive. However, it is not easy to train them. Moreover, this flaming horse has a violent personality and is tall and majestic.
With a fierce physique, its speed is as fast as thunder and its fire is like fire. It runs on the official road. From a distance, it looks like a prairie fire, extremely fast and fierce. Except for those martial arts masters who have practiced internal strength, ordinary people cannot tame it.
.
After the fiery horse passed through the pass and was transported to the hinterland of Kyushu, it caused countless people and sects to rob and compete for it, resulting in the phenomenon of extremely scarce goods in the inland areas.
