Chapter 207 for help
A few days after Lu Cheng left the Xu family, the Xu family received a letter, which was written by the thieves, extorting 50,000 taels of silver. If the Xu family did not pay the money within three days, their elder brother would personally take action and kill the Xu family without leaving it. And threaten the Chen family to be a role model.
The last time there was a warrior in the mid-stage seventh level of internal strength. This time, there seemed to be an older brother. The Xu family alone would never be able to deal with it. Although Xu Yanfeng was reluctant, he could only discuss it with the Lu family. After all, Lu Cheng was also in the early stage of internal strength. If the Xu and Lu families joined forces, they might be able to avoid this disaster.
However, when Xu Yanfeng sent someone to invite him, he realized that Lu Cheng had left Xu Family for a few days, and even the people from the Lu Family did not know where he was going. Xu Yanfeng was very regretful. If Lu Cheng could chat a few more words last time when Lu Cheng came to visit, perhaps Lu Cheng would stay in Xu Family for a while.
Now, Xu Yanfeng can only ask for help from the Lu family in Dinghe City. Lu Wuan is Xu Yanfeng's son-in-law, and Xu Luyan is his daughter. Although the Lu family is in a low position now, it is just right for them to stay for a while. Of course, asking them to take refuge and asking them for help are two different concepts.
When Xu Luyan learned that Xu's family had been bandits and that the Xu's family was threatened again, Xu Luyan was very nervous. She immediately took Lu Yuxin and Lu Wu'an back to Xu's family. As for Lu Wuping and Lu Yi, they were asked to stay in Dinghe City. The Lu family had not much food in stock, so they were just allowed to eat more for a while.
"Lu Yan, when did Xu Jiaji have a Lu Mansion?" Lu Wuan asked in surprise when he saw the Lu Mansion. If the Xu family had not asked for help, he would have probably not want to come to Xu Jiaji. Although this time it was for rescue, it was actually here to take refuge.
"I don't know either. It used to be the Chen family. Looking at the plaque, it seemed to be new." Xu Luyan said. When she returned to her parents' home last time, it was still the Chen family, but now it has become the Lu family.
"Dad. What's going on?" Xu Luyan didn't have the heart to care about the Lu family. As soon as she returned to her parents' home, she immediately asked about the thief when she saw Xu Yanfeng.
The Xu family is the largest family in Xu Family Ji, and it is also a small family. However, Xu Yanfeng's cultivation level is only in the early stage of the seventh level of internal strength. Now the Xu Family Ji is becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more people are coveting here. If the Xu family does not have higher warriors in the formation, it is easy to become a "fat sheep" in the eyes of others.
"Look at it." Xu Yanfeng handed the letter to Xu Luyan and sighed.
"Prepare 50,000 taels of silver within three days. Otherwise, the Xu family will be the next Chen family!" Xu Luyan said in a lost voice. She also drew a wolf's head in the lower left corner of the letter paper. Although there were only a few strokes, the wolf's cruelty appeared on the paper. Even if she saw it, she felt a little scared.
"Fifty thousand taels, it's too unwilling to take the Xu family seriously, right?" Xu Luyan said angrily.
"Father-in-law, what's going on with the Lu Mansion in Xu's family?" Lu Wu'an asked. Although he was a warrior of the eighth level of internal strength and the head of the Lu family, he was not as good as Xu Luyan in the Xu family. Just now, Xu Yanfeng only handed the letter to Xu Luyan, but did not hand it to him directly, which shows that it was obvious.
"The Chen family was in trouble. The dozens of people in the family were killed, and only one person was left. It was a haunted house. Unexpectedly, a group of people came from other places, and they were not afraid at all. They bought it for only 1,800 taels of silver." Xu Yanfeng glanced at Lu Wuan and said unhappily. It was now, and Lu Wuan was only concerned about the Lu Mansion. That was not the Lu family in Dinghe City. What's the use of his relationship?
"One thousand eight hundred taels? It's like picking it up for nothing." Xu Luyan said in surprise. At the same time, she looked at Lu Wu'an and the Lu family in Dinghe City. Although the scale is very large, if it is sold in the future, the price will not be much higher than that of the Chen family. The most important thing is that the Lu family cannot bargain. No matter what price others offer, the Lu family may accept it. It's like meat on a chopping board, which can be slaughtered.
"Yes, and the person who bought the house was a teenager, only in his teens." Xu Yanfeng said. Perhaps only a young man like Lu Cheng dared to buy the Chen Mansion. Xu Jiaji may not have Ning Ri again. The people from the Lu Mansion may be the ghosts under the sword of those thieves.
"What is his name?" Lu Wuan suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked thoughtfully.
"Lu Cheng." Xu Yanfeng didn't have much affection for Lu Cheng, and even had some indescribable disgust. As a teenager, he actually came to visit him.
At first, he thought that the head of the Lu family must be at least twenty or thirty years old, so he solemnly met him. But as soon as he met, he realized that Lu Cheng was only in his teens, and the scene of him meeting him in the reception hall was really funny. Fortunately, outsiders didn't know it, and fortunately, Lu Cheng was tactful and knew how to say goodbye as soon as he saw him pick up the teacup.
"Lu Cheng!" Lu Wuan and Xu Luyan said in unison that they were looking for Dinghe City, but they did not expect that Lu Cheng actually arrived at Xujiaji and even bought a home business here.
It would be great if Lu Cheng was really the son of Lu Wuping. Lu Wuan seemed very excited. Although Lu Cheng was not in Xujiaji now, he also wanted to visit Lu Mansion. Perhaps, this is God's will!
Lu Cheng's property is booming in Xujiaji, but the Wu family in Dinghe City is shrouded in dark clouds. Wu Mingtang died in the study and died with Li Jiang. How can the people of the Wu family understand? Now the people outside are already circulating, but the people of the Wu family are still confused.
"Dad, how could this happen?" After Wu Ruyan learned the news, she didn't believe her ears at all.
The Wu family in Dinghe City is supported by the Zhou family. As the young master of the Wu family, Wu Mingtang died at home, and it was a guard who was killed. Does anyone believe it? Even if it is a guard, it cannot be killed by a second-level guard, right? No matter what, Wu Mingtang is also a warrior in the late stage of the seventh level of the internal strength, while Li Jiang is only in the late stage of the sixth level of the internal strength, so how can he kill Wu Mingtang?
"This is really weird. Maybe it was Li Jiang's sneak attack." Wu Tianze lost his son in his old age and grew older by dozens of years. His originally black hair turned white overnight.
"Li Jiang is the escort of the Wu family, how could he sneak attack Mingtang?" Wu Ruyan said loudly that in Dinghe City, there has never been a case where the escorts killed their employer. Moreover, Li Jiang is still Wu Mingtang's confidant, how could he kill Wu Mingtang?
"I can't figure this out." Wu Tianze shook his head and sighed, "The Wu family and the Zhou family are relatives, who dares to kill Wu Mingtang with such courage? If Wu Mingtang died on the ring, then he has no regrets, but Wu Mingtang died in the study at home, and lost his son in his old age. How could he understand?
"I heard that Li Jiang went out in the afternoon and came back in the evening. What was he going to do?" Wu Ruyan asked. Wu Mingtang was her younger brother, and she was the only younger brother. The Wu family was originally a thin family, but now when Wu Mingtang died, the Wu family was even more dangerous. Fortunately, Wu Mingtang had already become a child, otherwise the Wu family would be the same as the Lu family.
"It seems that I am venting some anger for you and asking Li Jiang to kill someone." Wu Tianze said that in the final analysis, this matter was due to Wu Ruyan.
"What anger for me? Who can I let him kill? Lu Cheng is missing. Besides, Li Jiang is not a match for Lu Cheng." Wu Ruyan said in surprise.
Wu Ruyan left Dinghe City alone and went to Niu Dali's village. She really had no memory of Niu Dali and others, and she didn't even remember Niu Dali's name. She only knew that Lu Cheng called him "Brother Niu". After arriving in the village, the building was empty. She looked carefully and saw no large pieces of blood except seeing a little blood in a yard.
Perhaps Li Jiang only killed the hunter in charge and the others, and after seeing him, he packed up his clothes and fled here. Or perhaps, Li Jiang killed everyone and destroyed the corpse.
Because Wu Mingtang and Li Jiang were both dead, as long as Niu Dali and the others didn't take the initiative to tell this, the people of the Wu family would naturally not know. Although Wu Ruyan wanted to find some clues, she finally found nothing. After Wu Mingtang's death, she would not be able to go back to the Zhou family.
After Lu Cheng left Xu Jiaji, he also carried a pack of jerky and entered the Cangji Forest. Lu Dali learned that he was going to go to the Cangji Forest to practice, so he specially prepared a large bag. Moreover, Lu Cheng asked Lu Dali to make a better taste, and perhaps he could provide new dry food to the past caravans.
After entering the Cangji Forest, Lu Cheng walked north and walked for half a month. On the way, Lu Cheng met several groups of people, but Lu Cheng did not alarm the other party. Looking for Xueyanjiu, he only believed in himself. Later, Lu Cheng simply hid himself in the daytime and marched northward at night. For him, there was not much difference between day and night.
After half a month, Lu Cheng didn't know how far he had walked. He didn't even know whether the forest he was in was still the Cangji Forest. During this period, he entered a mountain range and climbed high every day. He didn't know how long the mountain range was. Anyway, even if Lu Cheng stood in the canopy, he couldn't see the end.
After the terrain rose, the woods became a little shorter and not as dense as before. Moreover, if you look carefully, you can see some small black dots in the sky. Looking at them, the black dots were big eagles. If what you expected was good, they should be Xueyan Vulture.
Since Lu Cheng discovered Xueyan Eagle, he no longer rushed to the road. Every day he observed the air. As long as he found Xueyan Eagle, he would release his sensing power as much as possible. However, Xueyan Eagle was more than one thousand feet away from the ground, and Lu Cheng's 128 feet distance was not enough. At this time, Lu Cheng's sensing power was not as good as his vision.
The range of activities of the Xueyan Eagle is too large. Even if Lu Cheng has Yunlang divine steps and leaping skills, it is difficult to find them. Although Xueyan Eagle spends most of its activity in the sky, Lu Cheng feels that it will always land. Lu Cheng walks up the mountains and walks to the top. He believes that if Xueyan Eagle wants to settle down, it will be in the highest place.
