Chapter 4: A Narrow Encounter
Returned to his room, took a shower and changed his clothes, and was about to go out to put a scabbard on this long sword, as soon as he left the door of his yard, he saw his father's guard walking towards him, and the guard was still holding a scabbard in his hand, Lu Qingfeng instantly understood that his father must have sent a guard to bring him a scabbard.
There was still some distance away, so Lu Qingfeng said hello: "Brother Zhang, my father asked you to come over." The guard smiled and said, "Yes, the lord asked me to bring you a scabbard, saying that you need a scabbard." β
Lu Qingfeng said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, and trouble you to come over for a run." The guard surnamed Zhang said: "Young Master, you are too polite, what is this matter, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." β
Seeing off the guards, Lu Qingfeng remembered his friend in his memory, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked, skinny guy, it had been a year since he came to this world, and it was time to go and see him, and after saying hello to his father, Lu Qingfeng walked out of the mansion.
The avenue in front of Lufu Gate is very spacious, more than a dozen carriages pass at the same time will not seem crowded, and there are many tall plane trees planted on both sides of the road, and the canopies on both sides are connected together, making the whole street in shade.
The Gongsun family is different from other families, this family is mainly business-oriented, and in Canglan City, nearly 50% of the wealth is concentrated in the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family has hired a large number of monks to escort it. Although the Li and Wang families coveted the wealth of the Gongsun family, they did not dare to take it lightly. Don't look at Gongsun Yulong as a businessman, but his temper is very upright, what he is most unaccustomed to is the bullying face of the Li and Wang families, and he is very close to Lu Qianhao, so the two have become close friends.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the door of the mansion of the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family did not have two lions like the Lu family, but two pixius. On both sides of the door, two young men in black suits were guarding, each carrying a long sword on their backs. Lu Qingfeng climbed the steps, clasped his hands into fists and said: "The four eldest brothers are tired, Lu Qingfeng of the Lu family came to meet the head of the Gongsun family." β
As the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Qingfeng is also well-known in Canglan City, and the four people guarding the door recognized him at a glance, and one of the four immediately hugged his fists and saluted back: "Don't dare to be, since it is the eldest young master Lu who is here, he naturally does not dare to slack off, please wait a moment, let me go to the next to pass the ceremony." Through an open door, Lu Qingfeng saw that the gatekeeper who went to Tongyu quickly disappeared, and in less than a minute, a familiar figure in his memory came into sight, and the young man who went to Tongyu was left far behind.
Looking at the person running in front, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, skinny as firewood, his divine sense scanned the past, only the cultivation of the naΓ―ve realm, in Lu Qingfeng's memory, this young man was his best friend Gongsun Xiaoxiong.
Gongsun Xiaoxiong came to the front, looked Lu Qingfeng up and down, patted Lu Qingfeng's shoulder, and hammered Lu Qingfeng's chest: "It's much stronger than before, half a head taller than me," After speaking, he took Lu Qingfeng's hand: "Go, follow me into the house, I haven't seen you for half a year, I have to get together this time." The two held hands and walked into the Gongsun Mansion side by side.
When he arrived at the mansion, Lu Qingfeng first met Gongsun Xiaoxiong's father, Gongsun Yulong, and Xiaoxiong's mother Liu, and presented the gifts prepared by his father before leaving, chatted with the two seniors for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Lu Qingfeng, accompanied by Gongsun Xiaoxiong, soon came to the gate of the courtyard where Gongsun Xiaoxiong lived, and was about to push the door in, when a girl's voice came from behind him: "Brother, where did you go, I looked for you for a long time, but I didn't find you, go, go to the martial arts arena, let's learn again." β
Hearing the girl's words, the frightened Gongsun Xiaoxiong immediately ran behind Lu Qingfeng, and kept muttering: "My aunt, just spare me, don't dare to fight with you anymore, otherwise your brother and my bones will fall apart." β
As soon as Gongsun Xiaoxiong's words fell, the little girl had already come to Lu Qingfeng, and in his memory, Lu Qingfeng knew that this little girl was Gongsun Xiaoxiong's twin sister, whose name was Gongsun Mingyue.
Lu Qingfeng looked her son-in-law Sun Mingyue up and down, only to see that she was wearing a water-blue dress, with a pair of pink toes exposed at the hem, a water-blue ribbon tied around her waist, a thin waist of willow was only a hand, her long black hair was tied behind her head with a pink ribbon, and it was tied into a butterfly knotγ
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's appearance, Gongsun Mingyue's beautiful eyes were shy, and she said with slight disgust: "Brother Qingfeng, I haven't seen you for half a year, don't you know my little sister?" Seeing Gongsun Mingyue's pure eyes staring at him, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, touched the tip of his nose, and said with some embarrassment: "How could it be, it's just that Mingyue has changed too much, and the foolish brother didn't react." Looking at Lu Qingfeng's overwhelmed appearance, Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but 'giggle' and laughed as the two spoke, Gongsun Xiaoxiong had already opened the door, turned back to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Go, go into the house and say, don't stand here." In one sentence, Lu Qingfeng was relieved from the embarrassment, and the three of them walked into the courtyard, came to the living room and sat down, chatting while drinking tea.
When talking about what happened half a year ago, Gongsun Xiaoxiong stood up abruptly and said angrily: "These bastards, they really have to make inches, if they continue like this, they may not do anything, we have to think of a way to give them a little color." β
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "Xiaoxiong, the Li family is the imperial family, and there is an empire behind them as a backer, even if the two of us join forces, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Gongsun Xiaoxiong sat down and nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that the time was close to noon, Gongsun Xiaoxiong stood up: "Qingfeng, you and my brother are rare to see, go, go outside, I will catch the wind and wash the dust for you," After that, he said to Gongsun Mingyue: "Little sister, you go to tell your father and mother, just say that I will go outside to catch the wind for Qingfeng, and you don't have to wait for me for lunch," "Hmm" Gongsun Mingyue nodded and agreed, and walked out very obediently.
The two of them walked a short distance west from Gongsun Mansion, and arrived at the most luxurious hotel in Canglan City, 'Canglan Restaurant', where Lu Qingfeng had passed by when he came.
The two entered the hotel, under the guidance of the welcome boy, came directly to the third floor, picked the most luxurious private room, sat down, the hotel waiter brought the menu, Gongsun Xiaoxiong waved his hand: "Don't order, pick your best dishes here, bring me a table, and two more jars of good wine." "It only took more than ten minutes before and after, and the food and wine were ready.
This meal, after a few hours of eating, out of the hotel gate, the square in front of the door has become very empty, just down the steps in front of the hotel, far away came three people, the two sides opposite each other, soon met in the center of the square, the five people looked at each other, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became tense, it seemed that even the air was going to freeze.
The three people on the opposite side were none other than Li Ran, the eldest son of the Li family, and Wang Ziyi, the eldest son of the Wang family, and the third person was a guard of the Li family, and Li Ran saw Lu Qingfeng at a glance.
As a relative of the emperor, he has never suffered a loss, and when anyone sees him, he is not a sycophant, and he is slapped by the horse, and half a year ago, he suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Qingfeng, how can he give up.
The three of them quickly stepped forward and blocked Lu Qingfeng and Gongsun Xiaoxiong's retreat, and Lu Qingfeng and Gongsun Xiaoxiong also drew their long swords respectively.
Gongsun Xiaoxiong is now a cultivator at the peak of the Innocence Realm, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the Divine Truth Realm, in fact, he is also a genius with excellent talent, but he doesn't pay attention to cultivation, and his energy is spent on business, if he concentrates on cultivation, his achievements will not be lower than Lu Qingfeng.
The three of them didn't take Gongsun Xiaoxiong to heart, they all attacked Lu Qingfeng, today is the most dangerous time since Lu Qingfeng crossed, he didn't have a little confidence in his heart to win, any of the three was not Lu Qingfeng's opponent, but after they joined forces, their combat power increased exponentially.
Behind Lu Qingfeng and the others is the gate of Canglan Restaurant, Li Ran's encirclement of the three of them, blocking the gate tightly, everyone who came out of it was blocked inside, the sons of the four major families were fighting, no one dared to care, even the owner of Canglan Restaurant, he just watched from a distance, he just secretly prayed in his heart, don't smash his hotel.
Li Ran held the long sword in his hand, and while rushing forward, he roared loudly: "Lu Qingfeng, today I will see where you are still running, take your life." β
Li Ran was already bloody, with a posture of not killing Lu Qingfeng and vowing not to give up, Lu Qingfeng rushed forward to meet Li Ran, and the long sword pointed directly at Li Ran's eyebrows. Lu Qingfeng thought to himself: "If you want to play with your life, let's see who is afraid of death." β
Seeing that Lu Qingfeng did not dodge at all, Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little timid, at this time, Wang Ziyi and the guards also besieged Lu Qingfeng on both sides, as if they wanted to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
Gongsun Xiaoxiong held the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly on the side: "Wang Ziyi, your grandfather Gongsun is here, eat my sword first." The words fell, and the long sword in his hand had already stabbed at Wang Ziyi. β
Wang Ziyi was temporarily entangled by Gongsun Xiaoxiong, relieving a lot of pressure on Lu Qingfeng, Li Ran didn't dare to fight for his life, the long sword met Lu Qingfeng's long sword, and wanted to block Lu Qingfeng's long sword, the two long swords suddenly struck together, Lu Qingfeng raised his leg and suddenly kicked Li Ran's lower abdomen.
Li Ran saw that the situation was not good, drew his sword and retreated, at this time, the guard had already rushed to Lu Qingfeng's back, Lu Qingfeng took his waist as the axis, quickly twisted his body, and stabbed the guard's lower abdomen with a sword in his hand.
Suddenly pulled out the long sword, the guard's abdomen instantly spurted blood, turned around, and faced Li Ran again, at the same time his right leg was raised back, and a kick was kicked in the guard's chest, the guard was kicked by Lu Qingfeng and flew up in the air, went straight to the crystal glass of the hotel, and fell into the hotel with a bang.
At this moment, Li Ran's long sword stabbed again, Lu Qingfeng quickly dodged, his robe was cut open, and Lu Qingfeng was almost injured.
Turning his head to look at Gongsun Xiaoxiong, who was already in a very passive situation, Lu Qingfeng sighed secretly, saying that he couldn't fight anymore today, and if he went down, Xiaoxiong's life was in danger.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly: "Xiaoxiong, you go quickly, they are going to kill me, if you don't leave, none of us will be able to leave." β
Gongsun Xiaoxiong understood what Lu Qingfeng meant, now that he has become a burden, as long as he goes first, Qingfeng will have a way to leave, thinking of this, he turned around and ran east.
The prince didn't chase after him, and killed Lu Qingfeng directly, Lu Qingfeng already had the intention of retreating, not that he was afraid, but that he couldn't kill him, or that sentence, Lu Qingfeng couldn't provoke the royal family.
Ignoring Wang Ziyi behind him, he killed Li Ran directly, he couldn't kill him, but he had to put on a fight for his life, and in another confrontation, Li Ran really flashed to the side again, Lu Qingfeng didn't look back, rushed over, and ran directly to the west.
Li Ran and Wang Ziyi also chased after them directly.
