The middle-aged swordsman in green was about to make a move when his expression changed drastically. Without caring about etiquette, he grabbed his master's arm and hurriedly flew backward. They crashed through the wooden wall on the second floor and landed on the street.
The young master asked gloomily, "Wang Meng, why are you doing this?"
The swordsman replied as if he was facing a great enemy, "Someone downstairs used chopsticks as swords and threw them. His sword intent has reached the First Grade Realm."
After the swordsman led him a few times into the alleyway, the young master elegantly folded his fan and patted the dust off his body. He smiled and said, "Little Sunny Spring City, there's such an expert? No wonder that guy with two sabers dared to be so impudent. Wang Meng, what grade is the expert downstairs at? "
The swordsman's expression turned ugly as he said, "Perhaps higher than the Vajra Realm. He already has some hints of the Finger Xuan Realm."
Only then did the young master's expression turn serious. He snorted coldly and walked into the alleyway. After hesitating for a moment, he threw away the precious folding fan carved from ivory that was worth at least a thousand taels of silver and said, "You dirtied my fan. This debt must be properly settled. So what if you have a First Grade Expert to rely on? I don't believe you can walk out of Yang Zhou alive! "
Lu Residence.
Lu Xuanlang, the clan brother of the current head of the Lu Family, Lu Daolin, was sitting in the study with a gloomy expression. One of the female servants was standing and massaging his shoulders while the other was kneeling and massaging his legs. The weight of the massages was just right. The two beautiful female servants were actually a pair of twin lotuses on a stalk. Individually, the two sisters were already bright and moving. When they were together, they were even more alluring. Lu Xuanlang was a famous talker in Yang Zhou. The Lu family had a total of six people in their generation. Compared to the other large families of the same rank in Yang Zhou, they were not very luxuriant. However, the Lu family could be said to have produced many talents. When the previous Emperor toured Jiangnan, he had personally praised them. It was clear that the Lu family was a shining jewel. With one word from the Emperor, the Lu family was established as the leader of Yang Zhou.
The head of the family, Lu Daolin, was now the Right Chancellor of the Capital's Imperial College. Lu Xuanlang oversaw Yang Zhou, where the family's foundation was. Back then, he had a battle of words with the scholars at the White Horse Temple and convinced them. Then, he had a private visit to Jiangnan Province with the old Grand Secretary on whether the Six Classics were history. The debate continued until the middle of the night. The debater who had confronted Lu Xuanlang had not yet made a name for himself. Looking at it now, it was simply terrifying. Other than Huan Shu, who was now the Left Chancellor of the Imperial College, there was also the current Grand Secretary Zhang Julu! Lu Xuanlang's loftiness in the past could be seen. Now that he was old, although he could no longer do the open-minded behavior of spreading nudity and drinking wine in seclusion, he was still a half-saint scholar praised by everyone in Gangnam-do. However, what Lu Xuanlang hated the most in his life was that he had married that widow. Not only had he caused the death of the son the family had placed high hopes on, he had also brought countless humiliation to the Lu Family. In recent times, he had written letters to his brother, who had disregarded all opposition and strived to bring that wanton widow into the family, full of resentment and complaints. However, his brother was stubborn and refused to drive that woman out of the Lu Family.
Of the four major families in Yang Zhou, the ranking was now Jiang Xinxuan, Bo Li Yuan, Hu Ting Lu, and Gu Mu Xu. Originally, with the Lu Family's wealth and power, they were firmly ranked second. However, it was because of this wanton woman, who he had never treated as his daughter-in-law, that the Bo Li Yuan family's reputation overtook.
Now, the Crown Prince of Beiliang was coming to Yang Zhou.
Lu Xuanlang's resentment was mixed with the bitterness that was difficult to tell to others. How could the wife of the young man from Jiang Xin County, Liu Liting, have the ability to disturb the Imperial Concubine who wrote the "Admonition for Women" in the palace? There was an arrangement that he did not know. His original intention was to endure the pain and remove the black sheep from the family. He could no longer allow her to stir up trouble and ruin the reputation that the Lu Family had painstakingly accumulated for dozens of generations. However, he did not expect that before the Imperial Concubine in the palace could do anything, he received shocking news that the Imperial Concubine had been banished to the Changchun Palace by His Majesty and was completely banished into the cold palace!
Lu Xuanlang, who was holding a saint's classic in his hand, slammed the book on the table. The two maidservants were so frightened that their hands trembled and they could not help but increase their strength. This caused Lu Xuanlang, who was fond of eating stones when he was young, to feel a wave of pain. This great scholar used to take bait before. Today, not only in the summer, even in the winter, he had to eat ice to relieve his Qi. Fortunately, compared to the other three families who had taken the "Five Minerals Powder", he was much better off. However, to the scholars of Gangnam-do, this was nothing. Lu Xuanlang was in pain from taking the "Five Minerals Powder". He could grit his teeth and endure the pain. However, the lowly maidservants did not serve him well. They were immediately slapped in the face. A palm print appeared on their smooth cheeks. Only then did Lu Xuanlang's mood improve slightly. He signaled a maidservant to retrieve the book. Holding it in his hand, he coldly said, "Incense burner, what a fitting name!"
A cold snort came from the door, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
The two maidservants' faces were as white as snow, contrasting with the red palm print.
Lu Xuanlang waved his hand impatiently. They quickly bowed their heads and left. They did not even dare to call out their honorifics. They just kept their mouths shut and left. This was because that person did not like them to talk. If they spoke, it would dirty her ears.
At the door stood an old woman who was no longer in her prime. Her expression was cold and gloomy. She had a face that did not have any good fortune to speak of. She looked gloomy.
The old woman said in a strange tone, "When I came here, I met that b * tch. She even paid her respects to me. Lu Xuanlang, only you can pick such a virtuous daughter-in-law! What a blessing! "
Lu Xuanlang coldly said, "The eldest brother is the father. What can I do?"
The old woman sneered. Her voice was like that of a ghost. "What an understatement. My son was killed because of your lack of understanding of the big picture!"
Lu Xuanlang angrily said, "Quan 'er is still my son!"
The old woman sneered, "Lu Xuanlang, you have a few sons. I only have Quan 'er!"
Lu Xuanlang dejectedly said, "I want to read."
The old woman stared at the man who should have helped and respected each other. Her face was distorted. She turned around and said, "Lu Xuanlang, don't forget who my father is. Back then, you did not stop that widow from entering our house. This time, if you dare to let that little bastard surnamed Xu into our house, I will not let you off! "
Lu Xuanlang waited for her to leave. He tore a saint's classic in half and leaned against the chair, panting.
The housekeeper hurried over and knocked on the door in a panic. He did not care about the usual etiquette. His lips were pale as he bent down and whispered a shocking news that shocked the whole city.
After hearing it, Lu Xuanlang's expression was uncertain. His ten fingers tightly grasped the chair. This famous scholar of Jiangnan, who had been praised by his late father for being calm in every major event, showed a hint of fear and muttered, "What should I do?"
