Pokémon

Lu Sheng put down the bowl and thought for a while.

He had a feeling that his father was safe on the road, and he seemed to be worried about something, so he wanted to send him to a farther place where it would be safer.

But if Duanmu Wan really never shows up, Jiuliancheng will indeed not have the soil for him to grow again. It might be a good idea to go to Yanshan City, which is far more prosperous than Jiuliancheng.

"That's fine. I'll go and come back quickly. If I can really learn something from the famous master, I'll send someone to deliver a message."

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and then agreed.

Yanshan City is far, far away from Jiulian City, farther than the two Zihua Cities.

It would take two days and one night to get there even if we work hard, let alone a horse-drawn carriage.

After Lu Sheng agreed.

For the next few days, I lurked at home every day to practice martial arts and recharge my batteries.

Lu Qingqing went out every day as usual, and it was often heard that she had arrested someone and came back.

Lu Sheng couldn't control her, and no one in the house could control her. Er Niang said a few words to her that were useless, so she had no choice but to let her go.

After Lu Sheng practiced for a few days, he was ready to start improving the skills he had acquired later.

Among those martial arts, given that he had the basic conditions of Black Tiger Sword and Jade Crane Kung Fu, he easily mastered Broken Heart Palm with a modifier and modified it to the third level of Dacheng Peak.

He didn't make any other moves for the time being, planning to wait until his energy and blood were completely restored before making any changes.

There is also an Eighty-Four Swallow Chasing Wind Sword, which he just plans to practice slowly for comparison.

This was repeated, and as he was about to set off, another strange thing happened in the city.

Several families of hunters living nearby outside the city disappeared inexplicably on the day of Wanqing Festival.

A few days ago, some people saw them bringing wild animals such as fox furs into the city to sell.

Then he disappeared.

They all disappeared in Jiulian City. It was not until their families reported the matter to the police that the matter became a big deal.

What's important is that the cousin of one of the hunters was a police officer in the government office. That's why the case was not dismissed casually.

But if you don’t check, you won’t know. Once you checked, you immediately discovered something fishy.

Those hunters only followed one path from beginning to end, and finally disappeared on the street near the Goldfish Restaurant.

People have seen them along the way.

So the detectives went to the street near the Goldfish Restaurant to check.

But there was a fire there and it was deserted. Why would these hunters run to that place when they were selling wild animals?

Just when Lu Sheng was confused, Xiaoqiao hurried over and told him that Lu Qingqing went to the street near the Goldfish Restaurant alone in the middle of the night.

During the day, no one came back.

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

"When did Qingqing go there?" he asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, but it should be around midnight. Usually the second lady will come back before dawn, but she didn't come back this time. Her maid Xiaohong told me that the lady asked her to wait in the room to prepare hot water for her.

, prepare for bathing.

As a result, she didn’t see the lady coming back after waiting for a long time, so she became anxious!~" Xiaoqiao quickly replied.

Lu Sheng was relaxing in the garden, relaxing before practicing his sword.

I didn't expect such a thing to come out of nowhere.

"Go and notify Uncle Zhao and the head of the family right away. I'll go take a look first!"

"Xiao Ba has already taken someone to check the situation. He was the one who brought back the news that the lady is missing!"

Xiaoqiao said quickly.

"Xiao Ba..." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He remembered that it was the guard in the mansion. "I understand."

He quickly put on a coat, took his family's standard long knife, took a horse from the stable, and hurried towards the Goldfish Restaurant.

The entire Lu Mansion was alarmed. Lu Quan'an immediately ordered Uncle Zhao to lead people to the Goldfish Restaurant, and also sent people to the prefect's Yamen to report to the officials.

A large number of human connections were quickly developed.

First, it is necessary to determine whether Lu Qingqing is really missing, rather than temporarily disappearing.

"drive!"

Lu Sheng rode his horse quickly on the deserted streets. It was very early in the morning and there were no people on the streets, which made it easier for him to rush on his way quickly.

If it were normal for a horse to gallop in a busy city, even he would not be exempt from criticism.

But these are extraordinary times.

Xiao Ba sent a message back and said that Lu Qingqing's disappearance was just a trigger to make Lu Sheng nervous. What really made him anxious was the strange thing he encountered on the street near the Goldfish Restaurant before.

The yellow gelding soon arrived at the gate of the Goldfish Restaurant.

The door of the restaurant is locked. It's just dawn and it's not completely daylight yet.

The street next to the restaurant was charred and messy.

The wooden houses had not been completely demolished due to the fire, but only half of them had been demolished. The remaining half was placed together with the construction waste piled on the ground, making it look extremely desolate.

Lu Sheng got off his horse and walked into this dark street.

Click...

The leather boots under my feet stepped on the ground, and I didn't know what kind of debris they stepped on, making a crisp sound.

Lu Sheng reached out and grasped the handle of the knife. He had experienced two battles and felt much more at ease.

A pair of eyes were shining brightly, looking around constantly.

Soon he discovered the clues.

In the middle of this burnt black street, there were deep sword marks on the wooden pillars at the door of a house.

There were also messy footsteps on the ground, and fresh black soil could be seen in the footprints.

Lu Sheng reached out and touched the sword marks on the pillar. The wooden pillar, which was charred on the outside, was still light yellow on the inside and had not been burned through.

This sword mark just cut out the light yellow wood inside.

"It should be around here."

He slowly pulled out the knife and walked into the wooden house in front of him while holding it upside down.

The roof of the wooden house has been burned through. When you walk into the door, you will find a mess everywhere, including charred furniture, burned cloth strips, and some melted debris of unknown origin.

Within a few steps of entering the house, Lu Sheng discovered the second trace.

The charred wooden table fell to the ground, with two deep sword marks on the edge and a few pieces of fine steel.

"What a strength."

Lu Sheng picked up the fragment and guessed that it should be the stainless steel sword carried lightly by his second sister Lu.

He looked down at the footprints on the ground, sped up, and walked toward the backyard of the house.

Go through the hut and enter the backyard of this family's home.

In a gap in the backyard wall, a strong one-eyed man wearing brown leather armor with messy hair was holding a thick-backed sword, cursing and sticking something on the wall.

"Who!?"

As soon as Lu Sheng entered the backyard, the man immediately noticed it and stared at Lu Sheng fiercely.

"Who? I also want to ask who you are?"

Lu Sheng looked at the opponent for a moment.

This man is 1.89 meters tall, which is about eight feet tall.

The muscles all over his body were bulging like a little mouse. He was holding a thick-backed machete that was shiny and still stained with blood in his hand. He had a vague ferocious aura like a beast.

"Me?" The big man chuckled and threw away the paper in his hand.

"It seems that you are a member of that little girl's family? That baby actually dared to kill two of my disciples. My eldest brother and I took action to arrest her. Unfortunately, you came a little late. The girl has been sent back to the village by my eldest brother.

Enjoy it slowly."

"Girl?"

Lu Sheng's eyes gradually darkened.

"Looking at your aura, you must not be an unknown person, right? In this Jiulian City, you must have heard of the reputation of my Lu family. Why don't you tell me a few, so that we can discuss anything we have to say."

"It's nothing to discuss! Are you the only one from the Lu family here?"

The man sneered and stared at Lu Sheng.

"Everyone is behind you." Lu Sheng had nothing to hide. The other party was an old man, so it would probably be useless to lie.

It's better to tell the truth.

"You are the only one who dares to catch up, how brave you are!"

The man chuckled.

"Two heads, three heads, capture him, then let the Lu family pay for their lives together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two more men jumped in from another gap in the backyard, both strong men wearing brown leather armor. One of them held a long-handled axe, and the other held an eyebrow-level stick.

"I can handle such a little kid by myself. Godfather, why did you ask the two of us to come out together?" one person cried bitterly.

"Whoever catches him first gets the credit!"

The man laughed.

The two of them laughed when they heard this and stared at Lu Sheng with malicious eyes.

"Hey hey hey, what a handsome little brother. It would be nice to catch him and put him together with the girl. We can enjoy him in different ways every night."

Both eyes stared at Lu Sheng's lower body lustfully.

"Enjoy this shit, let your godfather fuck you first!"

San Tou spat hard into the palm of his hand.

"Break his legs, don't make too much blood, it won't look good and will affect his sexual interest. Last time, you cut off his right hand with an axe. Blood spurted everywhere, and his whole body became loose when he fucked me!"

"It's none of my business! Didn't you just hit that man on the back with a stick? When it was our turn, he was almost out of breath!"

Ertou argued.

These two were twin brothers who were born with strong physiques. Later, they accidentally learned from the Lin family brothers of Jiutou Ridge Guitou Dao Dao in Heifeng Ridge.

Guillotine Lin Hongshui is the man carrying the thick-backed machete.

Lin Shuanghuo, the ghost-headed sword, and Lin Hongshui, the guillotine-headed sword, were the two major murderers who committed crimes in Jiulian City more than ten years ago. At that time, the two massacred two caravans in one night and stole a lot of money and jewelry before escaping.

Their respective unique skills are two machetes with astonishing weight and two sets of powerful wind-splitting sword techniques.

The boss, Lin Shuanghuo, the ghost-headed swordsman, once achieved a perverted record of killing a man alive with one knife while being hunted by the police.

This was Lu Sheng's first time fighting against someone head-on, and he fought three people at once.

He picked up the long knife and slowly looked at the two heads and three heads walking towards him.

"Try cutting with a knife first. There are a lot of people. If it doesn't work, just retreat first."

He felt a little uneasy. After all, he didn't know what kind of strength he had now, and he didn't have a comparative position.

With this thought.

Lu Sheng did not use the Black Tiger Sword Technique, nor did he use the Broken Heart Palm.

Instead, he used the Eighty-one Swallow Wind Chasing Knife that he usually practiced by himself. He couldn’t let others see through him from the beginning.

He held the handle of the knife half-tightly and half-loosely, looking at the two heads.

"Come on!" Erdu grinned and waved the big ax, pointing at his forehead.

"The little kid is still decent, chop here! Here!"

"Your grandpa, I will stand here and let you..."

Chi!!

In an instant, a silver lightning flashed past.

The long knife in Lu Sheng's hand suddenly turned into a light and agile swallow, suddenly spanning several meters and slicing across Er Tou's body.

puff!

A human head suddenly flew up.

Blood was scattered all over the floor.

The whole courtyard was silent.
