Lu Zhan felt sad in his heart. It turned out that his father was so brave for the Lu Mansion. He knew that he was already in danger, but he still wanted to stay.
At this time, he thought of a question, so he asked Lu Bufan: "Master Hou, you said that the third young master has a rebellious heart towards you, does he still want to seize the Lu Mansion?"
"Yes, since this evil beast recognized his biological father, he has been plotting in his heart to seize the huge assets of our Yiyonghou Lu family."
Lu Bufan replied: "He and Liu Dagu first started from the outside, and successively annexed many assets of my Lu family in more than a dozen surrounding towns. Now that he has almost cleaned up the outside, he will start to move
The Lu family's assets in Yunmeng City are the brains behind them. This is the foundation for our Lu family's survival. Once it is taken away by him, then my Lu family will really have to change our name from now on, and we will become slaves and maids.
"
Lu Zhan was a little dissatisfied with Lu Bufan's cowardice, and sighed softly: "The three young masters have already jumped on you, Lord Marquis, to dominate you, and treat everyone in my Lu family as nothing. If it were me, even if it were me,
Even though I know I can't beat him, I still have to fight to the last drop of my blood and fight him vigorously, so that I can live up to my ambition in my life."
Lu Bufan blushed at what Lu Zhan said, and he also sighed and said: "You are just like your father, a good-blooded son. What do you think I don't want to do? After all, I am also a dignified and noble lord of Chu Yiyonghou. But
…”
He paused for a while and continued: "If I were just alone, without the burden of nearly a thousand people in our Lu family, I would definitely have a good fight with this little evil beast, and I would like to have a good time. But Ben
Hou is responsible for the glory and destiny of the entire Lu family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Once something happens, it will not only be me or you, but the more than 900 people in the Lu family who will be unlucky.
It’s cut off in my generation.
Moreover, I was still holding on to a bit of luck, hoping that this little evil beast had not completely lost his humanity. Even though I, Lu Bufan, was not his biological father, I still had the kindness to raise him; unlike his heartless biological father
The father clearly knew that he had such a son, yet he just threw him away and ignored him.
It's a pity that I was wrong after all. This evil beast is just like his father, a shameless bastard. I just sigh that I am old and weak now, and my martial arts attainments have stopped at the late stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and I will never be able to do it again.
He has achieved a breakthrough. And that little evil beast has reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm a few years ago, and he has some weird and extraordinary methods. If I fight him desperately, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
Lu Zhan was young and passionate, but he didn't agree with Lu Bufan's words. He said: "Master Hou, of course you can't compete with him on your own, but you also have the power of the entire Lu Mansion and the surrounding aristocratic families who are allied with each other.
His strength, I don’t believe that if we gather the entire Lu Mansion and other forces, we will still lose to him."
Lu Bufan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course, with the power of my entire Lu family, it is possible to defeat him or even kill him. But don't forget, there is a biological father behind him, and above his biological father, there is also a caveman.
The old immortal, that is the truly terrifying existence. As far as I know, his biological father entered the late stage of Huajin realm many years ago, not to mention that there is a mysterious old immortal above him, and in the cave
Those who come out have all kinds of unimaginable and strange methods. They almost have the strength to found a country and become an emperor. In his eyes, a small family like ours with a population of one or two thousand is equivalent to a small group of ants.
It can be easily crushed to death by any finger. If we killed that evil beast blatantly, it would be equivalent to bringing about the disaster of annihilation of our family. At that time, I was just worried about this, so I pretended to be in seclusion and kept avoiding the third child, unwilling to follow him.
He was in direct conflict."
Lu Zhan said "Oh" and said with a smile: "It turns out that your 'retreat and practice' during this period is a lie. It is true to avoid the third young master's sharp edge."
Lu Bufan sighed: "Oh, I have no choice but to do this. Zhan'er, if you want to laugh, just laugh."
"But Lord Marquis, have you ever thought about it," Lu Zhan asked calmly: "The more you avoid him, the more arrogant he becomes. This time he returned to Lu Mansion and killed one or two servants every day.
There are even more people who have been secretly murdered outside. Although there is no evidence of death, it can basically be confirmed that even the previous strange cases of the disappearance of many girls in Yunmeng City were the "good deeds" of these three young masters, and Mr. Hou, you are like this
Are you watching your men and those innocent people die one by one under your eyes? Now that I think about it, the reason why he did this must be to play the game of "boiling the frog in warm water", with the intention of forcing you to come out and fight with him.
He wants to have a head-on confrontation in order to solve the trouble as soon as possible."
Lu Zhan saw that Lu Bufan's face turned green and red from what he said, and he knew that his words had touched the most painful part of his heart. After all, he was facing an elder he respected in his heart, and he originally wanted to just stop talking.
.
But then I thought about the tragic death of my father, and how many innocent people inside and outside the Lu Mansion were killed by the Third Young Master, and the old man in front of me was hiding in the dark for the sake of the family's survival, and never had the courage to stop the Third Young Master.
"To me, there is no need for such a shrinking Lu family to continue to exist! If they don't even dare to fight, they will just linger. What's the point of continuing the so-called glory and title?" These sixteen
The year-old boy said angrily.
Lu Zhan raised his voice again and said: "I said, Mr. Hou, even if you hide and don't want to confront the third young master, the Lu family is doomed to face disaster. Even me, an outsider, has seen it before, and the third young master is the one this time."
For someone who returns to Lu Mansion with the determination to end the cause and effect, he must either become the master of Lu Mansion or completely destroy Lu Mansion. There is no third way to choose from. In fact, you have been completely pushed to the edge by him.
By the way, don’t you realize this yourself?”
Lu Bufan was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, actually I have realized this, but I have never been able to think of a good way to deal with it, so I was very desperate some time ago, feeling that the Lu family has reached the end of the road.
It wasn't until you suddenly appeared that I had a glimmer of new hope."
"My sudden appearance?" Lu Zhan said calmly: "I, Lu Zhan, have only been thinking about avenging my father's murder. As for Lu Mansion, although it is the place where I grew up,
I have never thought about it and have no obligation to take any responsibility.”
Lu Bufan smiled slightly: "But the target of your revenge happens to be Lao San and his cronies, Liu Dagu, Xue Liji, Lu Xuan and others."
Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Master Hou, have you even figured out that I killed Lu Xuan?"
"Yes," Lu Bufan nodded, "I carefully examined his and Yan Dahai's injuries. Yan Dahai's injury was on the spine. This shows that his combat effectiveness was eliminated by Lu Xuan in one fell swoop. How could he continue to fight again?
Do you have the ability to take Lu Xuan's life? It can only mean that there is someone else who killed Lu Xuan, but I didn't tell anyone about it; after all, Lu Xuan's family is also very powerful in our Lu family.
I don't want them to conflict with you and hinder your free movement in Lu Mansion."
"Your performance in the 'Martial Arts Examination' was very outstanding. At that time, I started to pay attention to you."
He stroked his beard and said: "In addition, there is another important reason that makes me pay more attention to you, and that is the death of your father. I am the only one in the entire Lu family who knows your father's true intention of running errands for Liu Dagu, so his death
, although there is no clear evidence, I also know that Liu Da is the biggest suspect. Therefore, I am the only one who knows the purpose of your entry into the Lu family. The purpose is definitely not to simply work for the Lu family, but most likely to work for the Lu family.
Your father takes revenge."
Lu Zhan looked at Lu Bufan and said in a very calm tone: "Since you know that I will not sincerely work for the Lu family, why do you still have a glimmer of hope in me? The person who killed my father was your nominal third son.
Son, if I don’t even hate your whole family, I’m being very generous.”
Lu Bufan's face straightened, "That's why I frankly told Zhan'er the secret that my third child is not my biological child. This is the biggest regret and scandal in my life. If it were any other ordinary person, hehe, seriously.
, even if you know a word, I will kill someone and silence you. The reason why I tell you everything is to let you know - although you are just Lu Bufan's cousin, you and my Lu family are a family of the same blood after all.
As for Lao San, he is truly an outsider and a bastard. Now our Lu family is facing a disaster - this disaster is because you killed the evil beast Lao San and attracted his biological father and other forces in the cave.
It was caused by revenge. Are you willing to just watch and stay out of the matter?"
"What about this - of course we can't stay out of it!" Lu Zhan said honestly, after all, his father died for the Lu Mansion, but he refused to save him, so his father would scold him in his grave for being unfilial and unjust.
After hearing what he said, Lu Bufan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Bufan continued: "Zhan'er, after you entered the Lu family's inner palace, I have been keeping an eye on you secretly, especially your martial arts progress, which is ridiculously fast. You are simply a genius who learns martial arts. I remember before
Your father once told me that you have never learned any martial arts and were born weak and sickly. Why did you suddenly become a completely different person?"
Lu Zhan didn't want to reveal the secret of the small crystal in his dantian. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it was the desire to avenge my father that inspired all the potential in my body."
As a powerful hero, Lu Bufan had such sharp eyes. How could he not see that Lu Zhanyan was not sincere? However, he did not try to point it out. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and so was he.
As for the young man in front of him who was rising like a dazzling star, he knew in his heart that he didn't need to get to the bottom of it. He only needed to use the bonds between his father and the Lu family to impress him and retain him.
