Plum garden.
Grandfather Lu Xingkong was standing by the window of his study, watching the two snow doves fighting for food between the branches in the garden. The snow dove with a red spot on its forehead had found an earthworm somewhere, while the other snow dove with a black spot on its forehead had been glaring at Ji Hao like a hungry tiger, pouncing over again and again, trying to snatch that earthworm away. Back and forth, pecking at each other's eyes and feathers, the two birds were locked in a fierce battle.
The old housekeeper Uncle Lu pushed open the door and came in, picked up the small copper stove that was bubbling over the silver charcoal fire, and filled Lu Xingkong's teacup with boiling water. "Master is admiring the snow again? It's strange, this year's snow is not only heavy, but has not stopped for several days in a row. It is said that many of the pine and cypress trees in the West Mountain have been crushed. This is a snow disaster that is rarely seen in a hundred years. "
Lu Xingkong pointed to the two snow doves that were fighting fiercely and did not care about the onlookers pointing at them. "Look, doesn't the Lu Family look like that snow dove?"
Uncle Lu came over, squinted his eyes, and asked aloud, "Master, which one are you talking about?"
"The red-crowned snow dove found an earthworm and attracted the black-crowned snow dove to come over to fight for it. The two sides fought fiercely, pecking at each other for nearly a hundred rounds — — Say, at this time, should the red-crowned snow dove surrender and give up the earthworm in its mouth, or fight to the end, defend its dignity and ownership of the earthworm? "Lu Xingkong asked in a low voice.
"Master, isn't the answer right in front of you?" Uncle Lu pointed to the two birds fighting and said with a smile. "For the sake of a mouthful of food, the snow dove knows to fight to the end. Not to mention a human? "
"Yes. The snow dove is like this, not to mention a human? " Lu Xingkong retracted his line of sight, walked back to his seat and took a sip of tea. "Tell them to go back. Tell them I'm not seeing any guests today. "
"You're just going to send them away like this? How can they feel at ease? Li Kefeng was leading the City Patrol Camp to engage in a fierce battle with Cui Jian of the Monitoring Division. Both sides suffered casualties and were locked in a fierce battle. Now, Wan Heyou of the City Defense Camp and Luo Benyuan of the Capital Governor's Office are also involved … The fighting outside is a mess. If you don't give them a definite answer, will they just leave without knowing what happened? "
"Whatever you think in your heart, you must have a plan. Wouldn't it be better for them to carry it out in an orderly manner? They're all a bunch of boorish people. We don't let them fight, and we don't let them make peace either. We just let them sit there quietly and wait. Isn't that asking for their lives? "
When Uncle Lu saw that the tea in Lu Xingkong's cup was empty again, he once again carried the little copper stove over and filled the cup with boiling water. "Besides, Young master Muyang is still in danger. Those people waiting outside do not know, are you not worried at all? This time it's the Still water sword school that stood out. The Still water sword school claims to have three thousand disciples. Those good-for-nothing disciples can be ignored, but the three gentlemen of Still water and the three wild guests of Still water have their own merits — — I heard that the successor of Still water sword, Mu Yubai, has personally come out. You just left Young master there alone, with only Miss Hong Xiu by his side, it's hard to say whether the two of them can come back safely. "
Lu Xingkong clasped the steaming cup of tea, not knowing what he was thinking of, but he looked absent-minded and had a preoccupied look on his face.
"Master, it's time to make a decision." Elder Lu reminded him again.
"Have you ever thought about who can make the Monitoring Division and Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school come out to fight against my Lu Family?"
Elder Lu pondered for a moment, then pointed to the top of his head. "Is it that person?"
"If his goal is only to kill Muyang alone, he could directly let the Still water sword school do it secretly, or let the masters of the palace directly do it. Silently, and with Muyang's current cultivation level, it is naturally difficult for him to resist. " Lu Xingkong's eyes were cold, like the snow dove fighting for food outside. "But they committed murder in the middle of the street, and made the scene so lively and grand — — what is their intention?"
"Because of my Lu Family?" Uncle Lu said softly. "Even so, what's the point of just killing Young master Muyang? At least, the people outside don't know the relationship between Young master Muyang and my Lu Family — — "
"Show your muscles." Lu Xingkong sighed softly. "The Still water sword school came out to kill a servant, and the cart driver was packaged as a criminal of the imperial court by the Monitoring Division. What choice would the Lu Family make? If they don't fight back, Muyang will be killed and most likely die on the street. If the Lu Family fights back, it would be directly falling out with the Still water sword school, the Monitoring Division and the West Wind Chu clan. Is the Lu Family ready? "
"Master, you mean to say that … they intend to force the Lu Clan and the Chu Clan into a real fight? Force the Lu Family to — — "
That word, Uncle Lu still couldn't say it out loud. Because if anyone or any force was related to those two words, it would be difficult for them to have a good ending.
"That's exactly what I mean."
"But — — Young master Muyang can't be left alone."
Lu Xingkong's tiger eyes flashed, hissing, "The Eye of the Starry Sky, under the starry sky, nothing can be hidden from that old dog?"
"Master — —"
Lu Xingkong waved his hand. "Tell Broken Star to bring Young master back. In addition, take my invitation to the Song family's old residence outside the city and say I'm going to visit the State Minister. "
The West Wind Kingdom had a Left Minister and a Right Minister. But for hundreds of years, only Song Gudu could be called the 'State Minister'.
"Master — —" Uncle Lu exclaimed. For many years, the two families had not had any contact. Now the Master wanted someone to send an invitation to the old man of the Song family, this was simply — — asking to be humiliated.
"Go." Lu Xingkong waved his hand, his attitude firm.
Uncle Lu took a deep look at Lu Xingkong, then gently sighed, turned and headed outside. His originally hunched body seemed even shorter.

The heart was like still water, the sword was like flowing water.
This was the 'Still water sword technique'.
The 'Still water sword technique' that could shake the West Wind Kingdom and become famous throughout the divine continent naturally had its merits.
Clap technique!
Using the sword as a staff, it contained the piercingly cold sword qi and the bold and unrestrained staff qi. The sword and staff as one, combining the majestic power into one.
Using strength to injure the enemy, using qi to kill.
As the sword struck down, it was as though there were countless swords and rods blotting out the sky and covering the earth. The countless swords and rods were burning with countless blue flames, shrouding the area of tens of feet around Li Muyang.
The wind was blue, the snow was blue, and Li Muyang, who was wrapped in blue flames, also turned blue.
Li Muyang did not feel the burning sensation, did not feel the heat wave.
He could not even feel the slightest difference. He could breathe freely, he had a normal heartbeat, as though everything around him was an illusion.
However, the more it was like this, the more worried Li Muyang was.
The 'Still water sword technique' was so famous that everyone in the West Wind had heard of it. The founder of the Still water sword school, Mu Gubei, had challenged the heroes of the world, was invincible, and was known as the best swordsman of the divine continent. The current Master of the Still water sword school, Mu Yubai, was the descendant of the Sword God, and his sword technique must be extraordinary.
Li Muyang did not wait for his sword power to reach its peak, before he clenched his fist and was about to fight back.
The breaking fist of 'The Art of the Breaking Body' was a fierce and hard fist, and the clap technique of 'Still water sword technique' was equally majestic.
Li Muyang was ready to meet force with force, using strength against strength.
This was the first reaction in his mind.
However, when he stretched out his hand to clench his fist, he found that his hands seemed to be tied up. An invisible rope had tied him up, making his body like a wooden statue. His legs could not be lifted, and his fist could not be launched. Moreover, the qi in his body was in disorder, and the qi in the dantian was scattered everywhere, making it difficult to gather.
Soaring in mid-air, Baili Changhe naturally noticed the subtle changes on Li Muyang's face, and sneered in his heart.
A grain of rice dares to compete with the brilliance of the moon?
This was the sword power, the power of Baili Changhe's sword.
The sword qi was powerful and oppressive.
Li Muyang, who was trapped by the sword power, could only be suppressed by him. One sword to behead him, and one sword to smash him into minced meat was what it should mean.
Everything was hanging by a thread!
His life was at stake!
Li Muyang's body was like a human-shaped boulder, standing there motionless, allowing the countless giant swords to strike his head and body.
"Idiot, quickly hide — —"
Hong Xiu shouted.
Because Baili Changhe's sword intent was locked onto Li Muyang, so Hong Xiu, who was also in the midst of the sword power, was not affected by the sword power.
She reached out to push Li Muyang, but Li Muyang's body did not budge an inch.
Hong Xiu anxiously turned her body 180 degrees, and the worn grey dress on her body was fluttering in the wind.
She was immersed in the blue flames, and then leaped up high, turning her palm into a sword, and took the initiative to attack Baili Changhe.
Using the sword qi of her palm to resist the Still water sword that had already formed a sword power, such an attack was in fact a dead end.
However, this was the only counterattack she could make at this time.
When Baili Changhe's sword slashed her into minced meat, she could also fight for a chance for Li Muyang, who was locked onto by the sword power.
Only in such a short moment could she live up to the Lu Family's kindness of raising her and saving her life.
Hong Xiu's body leaped into the air, and above her head were countless giant swords pressing down.
The sword qi of her palm was so fragile and powerless in front of the giant swords, but it was brave and determined.
"Run." Hong Xiu turned around and shouted to Li Muyang.
At the same time, she sped up, launching a suicidal attack towards Baili Changhe.
"Don't — —" Li Muyang roared. He desperately moved his hands and feet, his body desperately struggling, but the invisible strength had completely locked onto him, making him feel like he was under a boulder in an ice cave.
This was the power of water.
Water is invisible but has all shapes, water has nothing but traps all things.
"Don't." Li Muyang's eyes were red, and then his pupils were suddenly filled with red blood.
In his sea of consciousness, a black crystal slowly floated up, exuding a deep luster.
Li Muyang threw his head back and roared, throwing out a punch.
