Invincible son

Chapter 614 613 [Inverse Scales]

"Mr. Lu, can you believe my master's sincerity now?"

In a dark room with ordinary furnishings, the candlelight flickered slightly.

Lu Jiang put his arms around his chest, looked up at the middle-aged man who asked with a smile on his face, and asked with a complicated expression: "Who is your master?"

The middle-aged man replied unhurriedly: "Please forgive me for the inconvenience. Mr. Lu, don't get angry, some things will not change too much because of anger. Although there are many old friends in the Chengguo Mansion, after the death of your father, it will inevitably change." It will be cold. If Mr. Lu could inherit the title, the situation would not be so bleak. But you should have already discovered the attitude of those enthusiastic old friends in the past six months."

Lu Jianghan said: "Most people in the world are like this, they are just people who are greedy for profit and forget righteousness."

After Lu Min committed suicide, Wang Jiuxuan used ice to preserve his body, and led eight hundred elite soldiers to escort him back to Beijing. After being inspected in the palace, Lu Min, who was a big mountain in the army before his death, was sent back to Chengdu. state government.This is naturally a great shame to the Lu family, but immediately after that, the title was seized and the Chengguo Mansion ceased to exist.

On the day of Lu Min's burial, apart from a very small number of close relatives, there was not a single relative of a martial artist in such a large capital who set up a spirit to worship.

The middle-aged man sighed: "Who says it's not? Although Mr. Lu gave an order, there are still dozens of people with lofty ideals pretending to be reckless and gathering in the capital, disregarding life and death at the command of your master, but how many people have been supported by Marquis Cheng An in the past 20 years? How much kindness has been spread out? Compared with what your father has paid for these dozens of people, even the traffickers and pawns will say that they are worthless for Cheng Guofu."

This sentence can be said to be in Lu Jiang's heart, he sneered and said: "If my father is still there, those people will naturally have a different face."

The middle-aged man took advantage of the situation and said: "So Mr. Lu should trust my master's sincerity."

Lu Jiang fell silent suddenly, his eyes hesitating.

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Young master, don't worry, my master is not the same as Li Bingzhong, and he will not fool you on the surface, flatter you and despise you secretly. This matter was an open and honest transaction from the beginning to the end. If I hadn't arrived in time this morning and Tell your son, you and dozens of subordinates will be wiped out by Pei Yue's hands."

Lu Jiang still had lingering fears when he thought of what happened in the morning. The other party was so courageous that he sneaked into the house without anyone noticing, and he pledged his head on his neck that Pei Yue's men had already surrounded the whole house.

Even though he was skeptical, Lu Jiang led his people to escape through the secret passage and sealed the entrance, so there is no need to repeat what happened next.

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man standing behind Lu Jiang, pointed at him and said, "The situation on Yulong Street was witnessed by the young master's subordinates, and it wasn't me talking nonsense in front of the young master. In order to do this well In an assassination scene, my master sent fifty masters, including a very important martial arts master, but only asked the young master to send ten people to cover up."

Lu Jiang was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Why does your master help me? Or, what exactly does he want from me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My lord, please turn your back to the left and right."

There were only two people left in the dark room.

He said sincerely: "My master wants the young master to die."

If Lu Jiang had been in the past, he would have been furious. However, he was used to seeing the world in the past six months, and he could bear it now. He just sneered, "If that's the case, why did you save me?"

The middle-aged man said: "If you were surrounded and killed by Pei Yue's men this morning, it would be too unworthy to die. My master said that there are many ways to die, but it is best not to die too uselessly. He asked The young master is going to die, but he must teach Pei Yue a painful lesson before he dies."

Lu Jiang's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Forgive me, Mr. Lu's previous plan was too small to underestimate Pei Yue. This person rose from adversity and has been tested on the battlefield. He must not be treated as an ordinary person. This morning's The critical situation shows that he has already guessed your plan. If you want to make trouble at the wedding banquet, you are completely self-inflicted, and even the assassination on Yulong Street is actually a flaw that Pei Yue took the initiative to reveal."

Lu Jiang smiled miserably: "You think I don't know? But to avenge my late father, I have no choice."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Avenging your father is the way of a son, but you don't have to just stare at Pei Yue."

Lu Jiang's heart moved, and he said with eager eyes: "You mean—"

The middle-aged man nodded and said meaningfully: "Pei Yue was in a difficult situation in the Dingguo Mansion. If the eldest daughter of the Pei family hadn't repeatedly protected him, it is still unknown whether he would have survived. Previously, Pei Rong's wife wanted to marry the Tian family. The more he took the risk of offending His Majesty, he forcibly rejected this marriage, which shows the status of Pei's daughter in his heart."

Lu Jiang's breathing became short of breath.

The middle-aged man said in a persuasive manner: "It is not an exaggeration to compare Zhongshan Hou's mansion to Longtan and Tiger's Den. Even if there is no assassination by Yulong Street, the city mansion will be fully prepared with Pei Yue's scheming. Don't say that Mr. Lu has such a manpower. My master will go all out and give you hundreds of elite soldiers, but it is still impossible to break through the gate of the Zhongshanhou Mansion."

He paused, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Lu, we can't directly rebel in the capital, right? If that's the case, it's not just you and me who will die, the whole family will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded."

Lu Jiang was completely convinced by him, nodded and said: "If Pei Ning can be killed, it will indeed be more painful for Pei Yue than killing him himself."

The middle-aged man praised: "That's it! The assassination on Yulong Street is not only a flaw that Pei Yue took the initiative to reveal, but it is also my master's plan to delay the attack. At least it can make him believe that Mr. Lu is at the end of his skills and can only send his men to fight to the death. In this way, even if he will not relax his vigilance, he will not be able to consider all the possibilities. Pei Yue is the groom's official today, and he will never be cautious enough to personally send Pei Ning back to Dingguo Mansion. This is Mr. Lu's opportunity."

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Lu Jiang slammed the table and responded with a deep voice.

"Cheerful!" The middle-aged man praised, and said: "The wedding banquet in Pei Ning's residence will probably end around the evening, please ask Mr. Lu to take your men to ambush on the only way Pei Ning returns to the residence. I will send someone to watch Pei Mansion, send the news to the young master in advance."

Lu Jiang remembered what the other party said just now, and asked a little puzzled: "It's just attacking a woman, why does your master want me to die?"

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Mr. Lu, after you kill Pei's daughter, Pei Yue will definitely go crazy, and His Majesty will definitely be furious in order to appease him. At that time, my master will no longer be able to protect you. Right now, it's only a part of you. People are looking for you. If you succeed, there will be no place for you in the entire capital. At that time, you can only look at your own good luck. Of course, my master also said that if Mr. Lu can be hunted all over the city It's up to you to survive."

Lu Jiang looked at him steadily, and said with a chuckle, "I never imagined that there are rich and powerful people in this world who are so honest. Please tell me now, who is your master?"

The middle-aged man showed embarrassment and remained silent for a long time.

Lu Jiang said calmly but firmly, "If you don't tell me, I can't guarantee that I will change my mind."

The middle-aged man sighed, and whispered a name after a long time.
