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

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

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

The middle-aged man replied unhurriedly: "Please forgive me for the inconvenience. Mr. Lu, please don't get angry. Some things will not change much because of anger. Although there are many old friends and old friends in Chengguo Mansion, it will inevitably happen after your father passes away.

It's time to let the tea cool down. If Mr. Lu could inherit the title, the situation wouldn't be so bleak. But you should have already discovered what the attitude of those warm old friends in the past six months has been."

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

After Lu Min committed suicide, Wang Jiu

This was naturally a great shame to the Lu family. However, the title was seized and dismissed immediately, and the Chengguo Mansion ceased to exist.

On the day Lu Min was buried, except for a handful of close relatives, not a single martial artist in the huge Kyoto paid homage to him.

The middle-aged man sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Even though Mr. Lu gave the order, dozens of people with lofty ideals pretended to be ruthless men and women and gathered in Kyoto, putting their life and death at the mercy of the master. But how many people have been promoted by the Marquis of Cheng'an in the past twenty years?

? How much kindness have you spread out? Compared with your father’s contribution, these dozens of people are just traffickers and lackeys, and they all have to say that they are not worth it for Cheng Guofu.”

These words touched Lu Jiang's heart, and he sneered: "If my father were still here, those people would have a different look."

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

Lu Jiang suddenly fell silent, his eyes hesitant.

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Young master, don't worry. My master is absolutely different from Li Pingzhong. He will not openly fool and flatter you, but secretly despise you. This matter has been an open and honest transaction from beginning to end. If I hadn't arrived in time this morning and

Tell the young master, you and dozens of subordinates will be killed by Pei Yue's men."

Lu Jiang was still frightened when he thought about the situation in the morning. The other party was really courageous and sneaked into the house without anyone noticing. He also used his own head to guarantee that Pei Yue's people had surrounded the entire house.

Even though he was doubtful, Lu Jiang still led his people to escape through the secret passage and sealed the entrance. There is no need to go into details about what happened next.

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man standing behind Lu Jiang, pointed at this person and said: "The situation on Yulong Street was witnessed by the young master's men, and it was not me who talked nonsense in front of the young master. In order to do this well

For an assassination scene, my master sent fifty experts, including a very important martial arts master, but he only asked the young master to send ten people to cover up the situation."

Lu Jiang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Why does your master want to help me? In other words, what does he want from me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Master, please step aside."

There were only two people left in the dark room.

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

If it were in the past, Lu Jiang would have been furious, but in the past six months, he has been used to the treacherous world, and he can endure it now. He just sneered and said: "If that's the case, why did you save me?"

The middle-aged man said: "If the young master is surrounded and killed by Pei Yue's men this morning, his death will be too unworthy. My master said that there are many ways for people to die, but it is best not to die too cowardly. He asked

Young master, go and die, but you 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: "With all due respect, Mr. Lu's previous plan was to underestimate Pei Yue. This man has risen from adversity and has been tested on the battlefield for many years. He must not be treated as an ordinary person. This morning's

The critical situation shows that he has known your plan for a long time. If the young master wants to cause trouble at the wedding banquet, he is completely throwing himself into a trap. Even the assassination on Yulong Street is actually a flaw that Pei Yue exposed on his own initiative. "

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

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 focus on 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 had not repeatedly come to protect him, it is still unclear whether he would have survived. Previously, Pei Rong's wife wanted to marry the Tian family.

The more risk he takes to offend His Majesty by forcibly rejecting this marriage, it shows the status of Pei's daughter in his heart."

Lu Jiang's breathing gradually became rapid.

The middle-aged man said seductively: "Now it is not an exaggeration to compare the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion to the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den. Even if there is no assassination from Yulong Street, Pei Yue's scheming city government will definitely be fully prepared. Not to mention Mr. Lu's small manpower, even if

My master risked his life and sent you hundreds of elite soldiers, but it is still impossible to break through the gate of Zhongshan Marquis Mansion."

He paused and said with a wry smile: "Master Lu, we can't just rebel in the capital, right? If that happens, it won't just be you and me who die, the whole family will be taken to Caishikou to be 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 was not only a flaw exposed by Pei Yue on his own initiative, but it was also a delaying tactic for my master. It could at least make him believe that Mr. Lu was at the end of his rope and could only send his men to fight to the death.

.In this way, even if he will not let down his guard, he will not be able to consider all possibilities. Today, Pei Yue is the groom's official, 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 in a deep voice.

"Refreshing!" the middle-aged man praised, and then said: "The wedding banquet in Pei's house will probably end around evening. Please lead Mr. Lu to lead your men to ambush Pei Ning on the way back to his house. I will send people to keep an eye on him.

Pei Mansion, please deliver the news to the Young Master in advance."

Lu Jiang remembered what the other party had just said, and asked with some confusion: "I just attacked a prostitute, why did 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. Your Majesty will definitely become furious in order to appease him. At that time, my master will no longer be able to protect you."

Lu Jiang looked at him steadily, chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that there are powerful people in this world who are so honest. Now please tell me, who is your master?"

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and remained silent.

Lu Jiang said calmly and firmly: "If you don't tell me, I can't guarantee whether you will change your mind."

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