Five Elements Heaven

The Lu family is the most prominent family in Jade Forest, but compared to the extravagance of the Quan family, the Lu family is so low-key and simple that it has almost no sense of existence. Neither Lu Chen nor Lu Mingxiu had ever heard of anything ridiculous, and their rigorous family tradition was commendable.

The study room of the head of the Lu family is unusually simple, even crude.

Traces of time can be seen everywhere on the wooden boards on the ground. When you walk on them, you will make a creaking sound. The color of some wooden boards is quite different from the surrounding ones. It is obvious that they were repaired later. The wooden board has a shiny black luster, which shows that it has been used regularly and has been carefully taken care of.

The four walls of the study room are filled with various books, which are a bit messy.

Sunlight shines through the hollow wooden windows, leaving a skewed shadow of flowers on the wooden boards. The hollow pattern on the wooden window is a seven-leaf flower, that is the horse chestnut. When the Five Elements Heaven was first established, it was very popular for a while, symbolizing the prosperity of family and business. After being popular for about a hundred years, it was gradually replaced by more colorful and beautiful patterns, which are now difficult to see.

An elegant man in his fifties or sixties was tinkering with a loom in the corner of the room. It looked like it was only half-finished, with parts of different shapes scattered all over the ground around it.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

The sweating man shouted without raising his head: Come in.

Uncle Yu opened the door and walked in. He looked at the wooden boards on the ground carefully. He is very familiar with the study, he knows where it has been recently repaired and where there are hidden dangers, and he is very careful where he sets his feet.

The master has always done the repair of the wooden boards in the study himself, not allowing others to interfere.

As a servant, you should always remember not to cause any trouble to your master. This is what Uncle Yu has learned from his many years of experience.

He walked quietly behind the man, looked at the loom that was only half completed, and said with a smile: The master said that it will be completed tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.

It can't be finished!

The middle-aged man stood up from the ground, with sawdust everywhere on his body, looking quite embarrassed. He patted the sawdust dust on his hands, took the wet towel handed over by Uncle Yu, and said: This Ai Hui really has some brushes. Acupuncture Peak is very weird, and many places are confusing. Unfortunately, my daughter is also a She is stubborn and refuses to take it back to her father for study.

This middle-aged man is the head of the Lu family, Lu Chen and Lu Mingxiu’s father, Lu Zhian.

No one would have thought that the dignified head of the Lu family would actually try to imitate the Acupuncture Peak at home.

Uncle Yu smiled and said, You are not the first to know about Miss's temperament.

That's right. Lu Zhian said with a smile: She usually seems to be very smart, but she is actually a stubborn person.

After wiping his hands, he threw the towel to Uncle Yu and strode to the desk.

He picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. Feeling much cooler in his chest, he said: Yesterday, Chen'er sent me a letter. It just meant a thorough investigation. Chen'er was really anxious this time. Yes. Tell me, how was the investigation?

Uncle Yu said cautiously: From the current point of view, Master Feng is the most likely.

Tell me everything you found.

yes.

Uncle Yu thought about it for a moment and then said: We caught the remnant of a thieves, the archer who assassinated the young lady when she was promoted to master. This guy has a very tough mouth. No matter how we torture him, he won't say anything. Later. It was Master Qiu who had a way to use several herbs produced in the depths of the wilderness to refine a Lost Soul Pill, so this guy told the truth.

Lu Zhi'an said dissatisfied: Mingqiu, this kid, won't come to our house even after he comes back. It's in vain that I loved him so much when he was a child!

Uncle Yu smiled and said: In Master Qiu's eyes, the master's house is far worse than the miss's embroidery workshop.

Lu Zhian laughed loudly: That's right.

He stopped laughing and suddenly asked: Mingqiu didn't go to see his master?

Uncle Yu glanced at the master and shook his head: No.

Lu Zhi'an frowned, then shook his head and sighed for a moment: Forget it, I won't get involved in the matter between master and apprentice. You continue.

Uncle Yu glanced at the master again and said a shocking sentence: Master Feng is afraid that he is interested in the young lady.

Lu Zhian's expression did not change: Go on.

From the mouth of the remnant of the grass thief, they received a big deal. The other party paid a large price to attack Asakusa Castle and capture the lady. According to the original plan, the other party would also pay a huge sum of money to redeem the lady. The grass thief was very They attached great importance to this business and had a grudge against my Lu family, so they took it very seriously. Worried about leaking the news, they sent out several vanguard groups to investigate and kill everyone they met along the way. Unexpectedly, when they met Ai Shi, they were killed Killed by Master Ai.

Lu Zhi'an's face was as dark as water, and he could not see any emotion or anger.

Uncle Yu's tone was calm, trying not to be emotional: At that time, Master Feng's Huo Fuyun was on the way to Asakusa Castle. Judging from the time point, if the grass thieves attacked Asakusa Castle according to the original plan, Master Feng's Huo Fuyun would When we arrived, Asakusa Castle was probably in the middle of a fierce battle. The old slave specially sent someone to pick out a few members of the palace to be killed and took a closer look, and confirmed that Master Feng's war department had arranged a large number of battles to seize the city and seize the city before arriving at Asakusa Castle. The training content of breaking an attack and rescuing hostages is very targeted. It includes familiarity with the complete terrain of Asakusa Castle, special tactics, etc. We showed these tactics to the remaining thieves, and his reaction was very intense. However, judging from the content of the training, Master Feng has no intention of harming the young lady.

Lu Zhi'an nodded and praised: Feng'er is well-planned and very clever. If Ai Hui hadn't accidentally hit him, he would have been very likely to succeed. Mingxiu has been away from home for many years and is emotionally alienated from Feng'er. Although the hero saves the beauty, he is old. The trap is still very effective. Mingqiu was nowhere to be found at the time, so he had to take the first step to find a way to get closer.

Uncle Yu did not dare to make any comments and continued: What happened to Zheng Xiaoman also happened when a mysterious person suddenly came to her door one day and said that he could give her a chance for revenge. The grass thieves were extremely opposed to this matter, but Zheng Xiao Man insists on revenge and goes his own way, and they can't stop him. My subordinates can't understand why Master Feng wants to attack Ai Shi?

Lu Zhi'an said calmly: Jealousy is a venomous snake. Have you ever seen Mingxiu treat someone so well? Feng'er rose up as an adopted son. He seems to be strong, but in fact he has low self-esteem and sensitive heart. He is not as good as Mingxiu. Chen'er is too indifferent in temperament, and Mingxiu is well-versed in affairs. Soft on the outside and strong on the inside, how nice it would be if I had a male body!

Uncle Yu echoed: We all follow the master.

Lu Zhi'an laughed loudly: You flatter me so well.

Uncle Yu grinned.

Lu Zhi'an suppressed his smile and sighed: How could I not know about Feng'er's shortcomings? But who can beat him in the house? Chen'er doesn't care about worldly affairs and doesn't get involved in fireworks. Mingxiu is devoted to embroidery, and she treats her junior brother better than her father. . Feng'er is too anxious. If things go as planned, wouldn't the Lu Mansion be handed over to him? No matter how strong Mingxiu's husband is, his surname is not Lu!

Uncle Yu didn't dare to speak and lowered his hands to listen.

If Ai Hui asked you to bring him, although I felt that he cared about Mingxiu and it was understandable, I was still a little arrogant. Later I realized that I was wrong. The blood on the wooden sign of Lemon Camp was not yet dry, but who in the world would dare to despise it now? Him? The valley between the pine trees hides ferocious tigers.

The news just came, a great victory on the front line of Tianwaitian. Although Tianxin City preaches that the three war departments work together, in fact, Shi Xueman's Spear of Chongyun is the key to victory. Look, the roots of the Songjian faction are flourishing. , full of talents, with a bright future. Mingxiu comes from the Songjian sect, I’m too late to be happy, how could he conflict with the Songjian sect?”

Lu Zhi'an said to himself.

Mingqiu is back. No matter how deep the conflict between him and Daizong is, he is still a disciple of Daizong. How can Mingqiu tolerate someone trying to take advantage of Mingxiu?

His tone was filled with emotion, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: You're so anxious, Feng'er. You can't mess with everyone here!

Uncle Yu was also sighing in his heart. No one knew better than him how much expectations the master placed on Lu Feng, and how much effort and energy was spent on cultivating Lu Feng.

Lu Zhi'an's expression returned to calmness: Leave Feng'er to Chen'er. After all, Feng'er is a registered disciple of Daizong and is not something we can deal with at will. Let them resolve their senior brother's matters themselves.

Uncle Yu said respectfully: Yes.

He was about to leave when there was a knock on the door.

The guard outside the door reported: Master, Lord Haiqing wants to see you.

A flash of light flashed in Lu Zhian's eyes, and he took the initiative to push the door open and go out.

Under the steps, a middle-aged man stood indifferently. He turned around when he heard the door open.

Lu Zhi'an walked down the stairs with a smile on his face: We are rare visitors, but Master Haiqing hasn't been to my humble residence for a long time. Come on, come on. Please come inside. This time I want to have a good time catching up with you.

Hai Qing, who has always been old-fashioned and unsmiling, bowed and saluted: I have met the head of the family! Let's reminisce about old times next time. This time Hai Qing will send a message to Daizong.

Lu Zhi'an bowed solemnly: My lord, please show me.

Hai Qing said in a deep voice: Dai Zong said that Lu Feng did something wrong, but since ancient times brothers have never been jealous of each other, how can brothers hurt each other? Lu Feng was deprived of the post of grass-killing leader and sent to a cave for three years as a sign of Punishment. Live or die, it depends on his destiny.

Lu Zhi'an said respectfully: Follow Dai Zhi's wishes!

Mingxiu Weaving Workshop.

Yu Mingqiu looked at the man in the mirror. His face was cleanly shaved, his long hair was tied up with a red rope again, and he looked full of energy.

The vicissitudes of life on his face disappeared, and he seemed to see himself five or six years ago.

What would it be like now if there had been no blood disaster and everything that followed?

He shook his head mockingly to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. Thinking that he could live in Zhifang, he became energetic and full of energy, even though it was under the guise of protecting Mingxiu.

The beautiful figure that haunts me is so close to me, but the room in my heart is still empty, but at this moment it is full of sunshine.

After adjusting his collar in the mirror, the radiant Yu Mingqiu strode out of the door.

What should you say first when you see Mingxiu later?

My skills are a bit rusty...

Hai Qing left Lu Mansion and walked on the street.

Pedestrians on the street did not take a second look at him. No one knew that this man with a straight face and no guards was actually the general manager of the entire Emerald Forest.

Crossing the street, going around the corner, he came to the door of a workshop and stopped. He raised his head and saw the four ink characters Mingxiu Weaving House written on the plaque. The handwriting was elegant and came out of the dust.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Hai Qing's serious face and disappeared immediately.

Lu Chen's handwriting was too familiar to him.

The door was open, and he was about to step in when a familiar voice came from inside.

The plan for a year lies in spring, the plan for a day lies in morning, the early bugs are eaten by birds... Ahem, good morning Mingxiu!

He seemed to see a young man tied with a red rope, with droopy eyes that were moving intelligently, shaking his head and reciting poetry.

Hai Qing couldn't help but smile, but why was he sighing in his heart?

He stepped inside, and a familiar face came into view, still the same as before. His eyes stayed on Yu Mingqiu's back for a moment and then looked back.

Many things are different.

After seeing who was coming, the cheerful smile on Yu Mingqiu's face disappeared.

Hai Qing's face was expressionless: Long time no see, Xiaoqiu, Daizong has invited me.
