Wind City. The City Lord's residence.
In the narrative hall, Lu Wuyong was convening his generals to discuss important matters.
"The City Lord of Sky Sea City, Mo Long, thinks that he can defeat the Ghost dancer corps alone with the 30,000 troops he leads, he is really stupid — —"
"If the Ghost dancer corps was so easily swallowed up, how could they have such a great reputation today?"
"You don't want to boost the morale of other people and diminish our prestige? Our Lu Family's Wolf Army is also a strong army as famous as the Ghost dancer corps — — "
※ ※ ※
As soon as this remark came out, the whole audience was silent.
The people of the entire divine continent knew that it was the Lu clan of Lu Xingkong that really made the Wolf Army famous. Old General Lu Zhengrong, who let the Gongshu family go, was Lu Xingkong's ancestor, and was far from Lu Wuyong's branch.
It was also because of his kindness that he received the unconditional and endless support and help of the Gongshu family, which helped the Lu family build the Wolf Cavalry Army. In terms of military equipment, they were the best, and they underwent cruel and bloody training. The outstanding members of the Lu family gradually grew up from the bottom, eating and sleeping with the soldiers. Finally, they became a powerful army that shook the Nine Nations.
But what does this have to do with Lu Wuyong?
They had just betrayed Lu Xingkong's branch and were stabbing them in the back, but in the end someone used the reputation of the Wolf Army to support himself — — How could there be such a stupid person in the world?
Seeing that everyone was silent and looking at him strangely, Mao Yuanshan straightened his neck and sneered, "What? Am I wrong? You killed the Old General, and now you don't even dare to mention the name of the Wolf Army? "
"What do you want to say?" Lu Wuyong looked at him calmly and asked aloud.
"I just want to get justice for the Old General."
"What if I don't give you justice?"
"Then I also want to say something for the Old General, I don't understand, the Old General has always treated us well, why did he end up like this — —"
Che — —
Before Mao Yuanshan had finished his words, half a sword had pierced through his heart.
Blood was flowing from the blade, dripping drop by drop onto the floor of the narrative hall.
"You — —" Mao Yuanshan's eyes widened, staring at Lu Wuyong incredulously.
"You're not allowed to speak either."
"Lu Wuyong … …" Because of the heart injury, Mao Yuanshan's mouth overflowed with blood. His eyes widened in anger as he roared, "You will die a horrible death …"
Plop …
His body fell forward, and then he lay on the ground without making a sound.
The crowd fell silent once more.
Lu Wuyong's gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the audience. "Did I do something wrong?"
No one answered.
Mao Yuanshan's corpse was right in front of them, who would dare to disobey Lu Wuyong's will?
"I did do something wrong." Lu Wuyong answered his own question with a gentle and casual smile. "Yuanshan did not say anything wrong. The old general treats us well. It can be said that the glory of the Lu family today is inseparable from the old general's hard work and planning. Without the old general, there would be no such thing as us. Especially me, Lu Wuyong, it can be said that I was promoted by the Old General. Without him, there would be no me. "
"However, there are some things that I have no choice but to do. The old general had a stubborn temperament. He wanted to be a loyal and upright official. He was even willing to fight to the death. But, everyone, the old general is not afraid of death, but we want to live. The Song family is powerful, this is something that even a three-year-old child can see. But the old general wants to go against them, to go against them … Isn't this courting death? "
"I am not willing to use the life of my family to buy fame for some people. I think there should be a lot of people present who have the same idea as me. I won't say things like loyalty and patriotism. We are all brothers who can stand back to back on the battlefield. Who doesn't understand each other's little plan? I want to live, you also want to live. So, I, Lu Wuyong, will stand up and lead you to do something big. "
"If I hadn't made a choice in time, what would have happened to Wind City? What kind of fate would befall all the generals present? The Lu family's residence in Tiandu was burned down just like that. The old general had such a high level of cultivation, but he killed just like that — — Everyone, in order to live, and to let you live. I, Lu Wuyong, have been accused of betraying the Lord for glory. So, now it's your turn to do something to prove your sincerity. Not for me, but for yourselves, and for your families. "
"We will follow General's lead."
"General will fight and kill as you wish."
"General, Xiong Feihu is willing to bear the infamy with you — —"
※ ※ ※
It had to be said that Lu Wuyong was valued by Lu Xingkong and was able to become the Lord of Wind City.
First, he killed Mao Yuanshan, who dared to question him in public, and then brutally and straightforwardly told everyone that he was wrong, but he did these things for the sake of living, and for them to live.
Not for the sake of loyalty to the Emperor, nor for the sake of patriotism, it was all for themselves.
I bear the infamy for you, what will you do to repay my kindness?
There was not a word of nonsense, nor was there any polite talk.
It was clear and crystal clear. Yet, it was easy for people to be convinced.
Lu Wuyong waved his hand dismissively. "I don't need you to die for me, and I don't want to kill people. We have done so many things, isn't it all to live? So, whoever doesn't want me to live, I will let them die. Those who resisted in the Lu clan were all killed by me. Mao Yuanshan was also killed by me. In order to live, I am not stingy with killing. "
Everyone was silent.
"So, even if the Ghost dancer corps comes, I will still kill them. Not only will I kill them, but I will also ask everyone present to accompany me in killing. If they die, we can live. Our parents and children can live. Generals, don't you think so? "
"General, tell us the rules. We are all a bunch of uncouth men, wherever you point, we will kill. "
"Yes. In order for his wife and children to live, Old Mo will do anything. "
"General, say something — —"
"Li Muyang is an evil dragon, everyone has heard of this news, right?"
"General, this matter has been spread far and wide. The brothers in the camp are also saying that Li Muyang is a black dragon that eats people's livers — — "
"Whether Li Muyang is an evil dragon or not, let's not talk about it for the time being. However, even that person from the Song family could not keep him here, which proves that he does have his merits. We must not be careless and slack off against this person. "
"General, you mean that Li Muyang may come to our Wind City?" Someone said with a surprised look on his face. "Our Wind City is full of experts, there are hundreds of thousands of armoured soldiers, it can be called an impregnable fortress. Even the armies of the Great Zhou and the Great Wu have repeatedly invaded our territory. That Li Muyang escaped with injuries, isn't he walking right into a trap? "
"That Li Muyang's parents and sister are in our hands, he will definitely come." Lu Wuyong said with a confident look on his face.
"It's good that he came, let's kill him." Someone grinned. "Maybe we brothers will have a chance to become the dragon slayer hero that the storyteller said, and be famous throughout the ages — —"
"If Li Muyang comes, then the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court, Ying Qiandu, will also come. Since Ying Qiandu was here, she would naturally bring along her Ghost Dancer Corps. So, everyone, don't be careless. "Lu Wuyong reminded again.
"General, we know."
"Does General have a plan?"
"There is a plan. If a fierce dragon crosses the river, it will be difficult to protect his life. " The corners of Lu Wuyong's mouth curved in a mocking smile. "Since he will come, then we will set up an inescapable net in Wind City and wait for him to come. If the brothers work hard this time and slaughter this evil dragon on the wind wall of Wind City, then our Wind City will become famous in the Divine continent. At that time, we might as well not call it Wind City, but Dragon Slayer City? "
"Good name." Everyone applauded in unison.
Lu Wuyong looked around, asking aloud, "Where is Lu Lin? Why don't I see that boy? "
The housekeeper standing behind Lu Wuyong said softly, "Master, Young Master is talking to Miss Li."
"Trash." Lu Wuyong said in a cold voice.
"— —" Everyone was silent, not daring to say more.
After all, this was a family matter of the City Lord's residence. They dared not say anything wrong, for fear of being stabbed in the back.
In the backyard of the City Lord's residence, in a woodshed with broken windows and howling cold wind, Li Shinian was huddled in a corner of the woodshed, indifferently looking at the man in front of him.
Lu Lin was draped in a luxurious silver fox fur coat, sitting on a classical pear wood chair. In front of him was a small table, on which there were a few small plates. The plates were filled with fruits, fruits, pastries, and the like. Next to him was a jade teapot, and the tea in the jade cup was emitting an elegant tea aroma.
"Tell me, what's wrong with being my woman?" As Lu Lin spoke, he threw a dried fruit into his mouth and chewed. "Since the first time I saw Miss Shinian, I, Lu Lin, have admired her. Again and again I have tried to curry favour with her, but Miss Shinian has never given me a good look. "
"At that time you had the Lu Family of Tiandu to protect you, I couldn't do anything. But what I didn't expect was that the Lu Family of Tiandu suddenly collapsed, and Lu Xingkong also died — — What made me even more overjoyed was that when I rushed back from Tiandu, Miss Shinian had become a distinguished guest of my Lu residence — — "
"Get lost." Li Shinian said in a cold voice. She hated to see this man, and every time she saw him she felt sick. She hated to hear him speak even more, she would rather hear a swarm of flies buzzing around her. Although the animal she hated the most before was flies.
"How many times have you said this word? I'm not leaving. I said that I admire Miss Shinian, so no matter what you say I won't leave. You scratched my face like this, do you think I'm angry? I'm not. "
"I have time and patience. In this world of ice and snow, I have nothing to do. If I can find something interesting to do to pass the time, it would be a good choice. "
He turned his head to look outside, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect Miss Shinian's brother to be a dragon. When I was with him, I just felt that he was extremely strange, but did not investigate further. I didn't expect him to hide so deeply — — I say, Miss Shinian wouldn't be a dragon, right?"
Li Shinian turned his head away, unwilling to say a word to him.
"The dragon clan that has disappeared for tens of thousands of years in the divine continent, it's very exciting to think about it — —" Lu Lin sat there condescendingly studying Li Shinian, admiring her stubborn and delicate face, admiring her thin but exquisite figure, and couldn't help feeling a little hot. "No, Shinian, let me examine your body — — to see if you are a dragon?"
Before the collapse of the Lu clan, it was also known as the top influential family of the Kingdom, and Lu Lin was the son of the Lord of Wind City. He was also a son of a wealthy family that grew up familiar with the books of sages.
Lu Lin had always wanted to give a gentle and knowledgeable impression, so when the Lu Family met Li Muyang in Tiandu, he would take the initiative to talk to him and vigorously praise Li Muyang's painting skills.
When Li Shinian first came to Wind City, he did maintain the elegant demeanour and etiquette of a son of a wealthy family. He spoke softly and acted considerately. If it was an ordinary Miss, she most likely would have fallen for him.
However, Li Shinian was not an ordinary person.
Later the situation suddenly changed, the Wind City Lu clan betrayed the Tiandu Lu clan, and Li Shinian also changed from a distinguished guest to a prisoner.
Even at that time, Lu Lin had never physically offended Li Shinian. He just constantly came to bother Li Shinian, and asked her to be his woman again and again.
When the waiting time was too long and the number of rejections was too many, Lu Lin couldn't hold it in any longer, and even found it difficult to maintain the pretense on the surface.
These days, Li Shinian's attitude towards him was getting worse and worse, and even spat at him, slapped and scratched his face — — which made him even more furious.
He knew in his heart that he had no chance.
If he didn't use some alternative means, it was impossible for him to have any chance to get this woman.
When his heart was in turmoil, and he examined his relationship with Li Shinian again, there was a different feeling in his heart.
Li Shinian, the woman he must get.
Whether it was in the past or in the future, the woman he needed to get.
So, since she was going to be his woman in the end, then why should he care about the time?
Lu Lin stared at Li Shinian, the corners of his mouth curving into a lewd smile, "I have never thought that I would have a close relationship with a dragon."
