Lu Lancheng patted Lu Zifeng's shoulder with amusement.
"You little brat, you've even learned to tease your grandfather. I just saw a rich young man go in. Who is that?"
Lu Zifeng helplessly told the old man what happened again.
Lu Lancheng smiled after hearing this but didn't say much. He talked to Lu Zifeng about the autumn harvest on the farm and sent him away.
Looking at Lu Zifeng's leaving figure, Lu Lancheng fell into deep thought.
It seems that the second brother's family is not far from returning to the family. Now I think back to when I took in the second brother.
It turned out that Lu Lancheng and his wife had just given birth to their second child, and the child fell ill when he was less than five months old. They went to Bingzhou Prefecture to see a doctor for the child, but they were ultimately unable to save the child. When they were sad, they met a woman. The person in the woman's arms was none other than Lu Mingyuan. The woman was covered in blood and looked seriously injured. Before she died, she entrusted Lu Mingyuan to Lu Lancheng and his wife, saying that the child was a child of the Lu family in the capital. If anyone from the Lu family in the capital came, they could return the child. If no one came, the child would stay with Lu Lancheng and his wife, and their identity would not be revealed. So the couple took Lu Mingyuan back to Lujia Village. The child was still young at the time, and the villagers could not tell that the child was no longer the same child as before.
After all these years, Lu Lancheng still hadn't waited for anyone to come. He didn't know what was going on with Lu Mingyuan's family. So, he hadn't dared to tell anyone about this all these years. Only the old couple knew about it. When Liu Yue met Situ Hao while fleeing the famine, he thought that through Situ Hao, he could slowly let Feng Ge'er and his family get to know the nobles in the capital. Perhaps he could get the second son's family to recognize him as the Lu family in the capital. That way, his Lu family could also benefit from it, which would also be good for the family.
Now I think about it, I feel a little reluctant. After all, Lu Mingyuan is the child raised by my husband and me!
Lu Zifeng didn't know what old man Lu Lanchen was thinking. He walked all the way to the outside of the manor and headed towards the foot of the mountain a mile away.
He now plans to go into the mountains to hunt some wild game. Although there is still a lot of wild game in his own space, it is not easy to take it out without a legitimate reason. There is a mountain here, so he can go in and take a look around, and bring some wild game back with him.
When he didn't find anyone after using his mental power to cover the area, he used his speed ability to run towards the mountains.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zifeng arrived at the deep mountains. There were few people here and there was no road to walk on. Lu Zifeng jumped directly onto a tree and looked around with his mental power. He really found a roe deer. With the blessing of his speed ability, he knocked the roe deer unconscious with one punch. He directly carried the roe deer and prepared to go back. There were many wild animals in the mountains, so there was no need to hunt too many. Only by taking things slowly can a long-term benefit be achieved.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of weapons clashing.
"Damn, is this the scene from the novel? I just wonder if this beautiful lady needs my help."
What Lu Zifeng said was not without reason. He remembered that in the novels he read in his previous life, beauties saved heroes and handsome guys saved beauties.
As the sound of fighting got closer, the smile on Lu Zifeng's face faded.
"Fuck, why isn't she a beauty? Three men in black assassinated a man in gray, and they're all men."
Lu Zifeng was ready to go back. Since there was no beauty to save him, there was no need to waste time.
But just as he was about to leave, the man in gray ran towards Lu Zifeng. Lu Zifeng looked at him speechlessly, "Damn, do you want me to protect you from disaster?"
Lu Zifeng didn't leave and just watched the people in front of him fighting to the death. The three men in black also looked at Lu Zifeng and sent one of them to kill Lu Zifeng.
Lu Zifeng frowned. Damn it, are they treating me like a soft persimmon?
When the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand was about to pierce his chest, Lu Zifeng reached out and clamped the tip of the sword with his fingers. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword broke off.
The man in black was also startled and was about to draw back his sword, but Lu Zifeng kicked him in the chest. His body flew out and broke several trees as thick as bowls before he fell to the ground again.
Looking at the man in black again, he was already dead. The other two men in black looked at Lu Zifeng in shock, then turned back to look at their companions who were dead. Then they did not stay any longer and did not plan to kill the man in gray anymore. They turned around and ran away.
But since Lu Zifeng started killing people, how could he let them escape? He couldn't keep them, otherwise he would be irresponsible for his family's lives.
His speed ability was brought to its limit, and he took the lives of two people in an instant.
Lu Zifeng walked over and searched the three men. Wow, these people really have money! He actually found more than three thousand taels of silver in banknotes, but not much in cash, probably only a few dozen taels.
He turned to look at the man in gray leaning against a nearby tree. "Who are you, why are you being hunted, and who are these men in black?"
The man in gray struggled to sit up and knelt in front of Lu Zifeng.
"Thank you for saving my life. I don't have a name, only a code name. My code name is Jialiu."
"Have you ever heard of the assassin organization 'Dark Tower' in the Jianghu? I am an assassin in the Dark Tower. However, the leader of the Dark Tower died some time ago, and the two elders of the Dark Tower killed each other in order to compete for the position of leader. I am a direct descendant of the eldest elder, but the eldest elder was assassinated, and we, the direct descendants, were hunted down by the second elder's men."
Lu Zifeng glanced at him suspiciously, "What are your plans now? Are you going to avenge the Great Elder, or are you going to live in hiding?"
Jia Liu shook his head. "Before the Great Elder died, he told us not to avenge him."
"Oh, so you're planning to live in hiding?"
Jialiu lowered his head and thought for a while before touching his forehead to the ground.
"My benefactor, I have nowhere to go. Could you please take Jialiu in? Don't worry, I will swear allegiance to you."
Lu Zifeng had actually already thought about recruiting this person, but he still needed to test him. Now hearing him say this was beyond his expectations.
"Are you sincere? I can tell you, since you said you would be loyal to me, then you can never betray me again. If you betray me, your end will be terrible."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Jialiu knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Zifeng, then raised two fingers to the sky and swore an oath.
Just as Jialiu made the oath, Lu Zifeng's spiritual imprint was directly placed on Jialiu's sea of consciousness.
If Jialiu didn't betray him, nothing would happen. But if he betrayed Lu Zifeng, he would bleed to death from all seven orifices. Moreover, once he had the intention to betray, Lu Zifeng would be able to sense it instantly, no matter how far away he was.
