Quickly wear my first love a thousand times
Chapter 73 Brother, he always wants to blacken (1)
Shen Luoping naturally knew that Lu Hanliu's attitude towards Meng Zhihe was not much better. Although it was the grievances of the previous generation of their two families, Meng Zhihe's virtues could be said to be well inherited from the shamelessness and bullying of the head of the Meng family.
So even if Lord Lu Hanliu had a lot of willingness to let him go, I'm afraid Meng Zhihe would kill himself.
But Lou Yanqing asked him: "Brother, do you know what Lu Hanliu will do?"
"When you see him kill someone one day, I'm afraid you will be frightened."
Shen Luoping just said: "I believe that Hanliu has his own considerations, he has his blood feud, I have no right to interfere or criticize the teaching."
"Brother, you are so partial to him? Otherwise, I grew up with you, and I almost thought..." Lou Yanqing thought for a long time and still couldn't come out with the next word, and finally had to say, "Hmph, you Think whatever you want, brother, you will see clearly his true face when the time comes!"
Shen Luoping always felt that Lou Yanqing might have seen Lu Hanliu's feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have blamed Lu Hanliu in front of him all day long. In the past, he just didn't like Lu Hanliu, but now his feelings almost developed into disgust. It seems that although Lou Yanqing is annoyed by his elder brother, in his heart he still wants to protect him.
In all fairness, as a younger brother, there is nothing wrong with not wanting his elder brother to get involved with someone like Lu Hanliu.
But Shen Luoping had to get inextricably linked with Lu Hanliu.
He thought about it for a long time. Lu Hanliu didn't seem like the kind of person who would be merciful and repay grievances with kindness. He didn't necessarily limit the targets of revenge to some small clans and sects he participated in back then and the head of the Meng family who caused trouble. Shen Luoping felt that Su It is estimated that the Jia family and the Qi family are also related.
Although I don't know if Lu Hanliu will classify these two families as enemies, but the Meng family alone is enough for him to deal with.
Although the status of the Meng family has declined in recent years, the Su family has always been in power in recent years, followed by the Qi family. It seems that there is not much room for the Meng family in the Jianghu, but after all, it is a big family that has experienced decades. Just the few hundred clansmen and wealth are enough to make people awe-inspiring, so if Lu Hanliu wants to take revenge, it may not be easy.
As far as Shen Luoping knows, Lu Hanliu should be alone, without any helpers or accomplices. He should be the only one who survived when the Yin family was wiped out. In this way, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two of them to make any big waves, not to mention that Fu Qingli may not be proficient in martial arts.
Even if it's the protagonist, you can't use Goldfinger to fight against thousands of people alone, right?Shen Luoping thinks this way, but thinking about what Su Xiaogong said before, the head of the Yin family fights against hundreds of clans with one person's power, it seems that this is not untenable, but... if it is against Su Qimeng's three families, it may be quite To become an enemy of the world, I am afraid that Lu Hanliu cannot do it.
Lu Hanliu is a smart person, Shen Luoping is not worried that he can't think of a way out, but he doesn't know what step Lu Hanliu will take in order to get revenge, killing all the Meng family?Or do all three families want to take revenge, or just marry the lives of a few heads of the family?
What kind of choice will indirectly change the development of the relationship between him and Lu Hanliu. After all, no one wants his brother to be a murderous maniac. If Lu Hanliu really starts killing, it will be really difficult.
In the next few days, getting along with Lu Hanliu didn't have too many twists and turns, and there was even a relatively harmonious scene of brothers and sisters. Although Shen Luoping knew it was a fake, he was still relieved. That night, Lu Hanliu was probably really hurt. After all, Shen Luoping's attitude was too revealing - it was obvious that he couldn't accept that his younger brother had strange feelings for him.
Shen Luoping was actually a little worried that Lu Hanliu would have some indescribable thoughts about him because of this, and he didn't want to be locked up in a dark room.
In the end, it didn't stop for two days and the moth came out again, because the mother of the building suddenly told Shen Luoping that his cousin Yanyun was going back to her mother's house in the next few days.
Shen Luoping's first reaction when he heard the news was: "Who is Yanyun?"
It was only after the system reminded him that it turned out to be a childhood sweetheart from the original main building, Xu Yi, but she had been married for eight or nine years, why did the building mother suddenly mention it again today?
After listening to Lou's mother's detailed explanation, Shen Luoping realized that although Yan Yun's cousin had been married for almost ten years, she only had one daughter, and that cousin didn't seem to be doing very well in her in-law's house.
Because the family was only passed down to her husband's generation, and she has not been able to continue the family's incense, it is inevitable that she will be bullied. Originally, that cousin Yanyun had always swallowed her anger, but her husband went out to do business the year before last and made a fortune. The idea of taking a concubine came into being, Yan Yun couldn't accept it at the beginning, after all, they were husband and wife for almost ten years, no matter what, they had unusual feelings, but her husband said that the continuation of the incense was important, Yan Yun didn't dare to resist She only showed a little bit of displeasure, which made her husband disappointed. He only thought that she was a messy wife, so he wrote a letter of divorce in a fit of anger.
Yanyun had no choice but to take her daughter back to her natal home. Originally, this matter was considered shameless in ancient times, but the mother of the building didn't know what to think. She felt that Shen Luoping's refusal to remarry for so many years was not because she missed his dead wife, but because she still wanted to marry her. It was because he couldn't forget his cousin that he came up with this idea. She probably didn't like the remarried woman very much. It's just that Shen Luoping declined no matter which girl he introduced these years. He was so anxious that he had no other choice.
The mother of Lou said: "I only hope that you can start a family and no longer be alone, otherwise how can we go with peace of mind. Although your cousin Yanyun remarried, if you are willing to marry, we will naturally marry her when she comes over. You won't treat her badly either, the two of you have been in love since you were a child... It's also my fault that I didn't like their family at the time, I knew you would never marry for her life, I would never have..."
Lou's mother became more and more guilty as she spoke, Shen Luoping was dumbfounded, and finally had no choice but to say: "Mother, I don't want to get married, not because of cousin Yanyun."
"Why is that? Both you and Yanqing refuse to get married and have children, telling us... Hey, what do you think?"
"..." Shen Luoping thought for a while but couldn't think of a suitable reason. Seeing his silence, Lou Mu thought it was acquiescence, and said again: "What are you scrupulous about? I asked your cousin, what she meant, If you are willing to marry, she will be willing, so you don't have to worry about making things difficult for her."
"And... let my son think about it for a while."
In the end, Shen Luoping had no choice but to delay as long as he could.
He didn't expect to be like this and still be able to avoid marriage. The masculinity of this era is not shameless, but it is not as prevalent as it was in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After all, the elders in the family do not want to see a son who is good at Longyang Yes, so if the mother of Lou knew that her two sons had gone out with men, she would probably go west immediately.
Shen Luoping thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a solution, but suddenly he thought of a good idea to increase the progress of the task.
The mother of the building kept asking him why he didn't want to get married. Others only said that he was missing his dead wife, and the mother of the building thought he was thinking about his cousin Yanyun, but it was all their speculation after all. What Shen Luoping thought was only known to him. , so knowing that he said the answer, others can only accept it even if they don't believe it.
Believe it or not, this kind of thing is different from person to person.
So he would choose an answer that Lu Hanliu would definitely want to believe.
Lu Hanliu doesn't need to be convinced, it's enough that he wants to believe it, it's not like there's a saying, if you're willing to believe it, it's true.
After dinner that day, Shen Luoping stopped Lu Hanliu when he was about to rest.
Lu Hanliu turned his head and asked him, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Shen Luo put on a face and asked first: "How is the injury on your shoulder?"
In fact, it has healed a long time ago, the wound is not deep, and there is Qi’s exclusive ointment, so naturally it will be healed in five or six days. Although Lu Hanliu thought this question was a bit strange, he still answered honestly: “It’s already healed.” .”
Shen Luoping hummed, and then remained silent.
With his appearance like this, Lu Hanliu realized early on that he was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Brother, do you want to talk to me?"
Shen Luoping raised his eyes to look at Lu Hanliu, and said after a long while: "There is something today that makes me very unhappy."
Hearing what he said, Lu Hanliu couldn't help but tremble, fearing that his elder brother would be displeased by his out-of-the-line behavior, but he was completely stunned when he answered Shen Luoping's words.
"Today, my mother told me that my cousin Yanyun was divorced by her husband's family, and now she has returned to her mother's family."
"Mother means that she wants me to marry her to continue her marriage."
Shen Luoping just threw out these two sentences, and then stopped talking, just quietly looked at Lu Hanliu, waiting for his reaction.
Lu Hanliu felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and he didn't recover for a long time. Shen Luoping called him twice before he answered vaguely.He didn't dare to peek at the expression on Shen Luoping's face, there was only a gloomy look in his eyes, which was well concealed by the dimness of the candlelight.
"If the eldest brother likes it, the younger brother will definitely bless him." Lu Hanliu didn't know how long he endured it before he burst out the emotions smoldering in his chest. Although there was a smile on his face, the curvature of the corner of his mouth seemed to be It was cut out with a knife, and it looked weird and sad.
Shen Luoping looked into Lu Hanliu's eyes, and stared directly at him. The young man did not resist the contact with his eyes, but his eyes only had deep and thick colors, and he couldn't see the large waves and undercurrents in them.
But Shen Luoping could almost feel the muffled sound of Lu Hanliu's anger and grief repeatedly colliding in his chest, like a trapped animal in a cage, unable to escape from the shackles, and could only moan silently.
It is too cruel to erase the promise so easily, even though he said before that he would be with him forever.
In fact, the trapped beast had already given up the idea of escaping, because someone told him that even if he stayed in the cage, he would always be with him outside.So he is willing to be imprisoned by that feeling for a lifetime.But he forgot that people outside are free after all, even if you promise not to leave, if you really want to leave, you are in the cage and he is outside, how can you stop him?It's just self-deception.
The degree of abuse in Lu Hanliu's heart is increasing exponentially at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the number reached the dangerous number of seventy under the prompt of the system, Shen Luoping finally said: "But I don't like it."
Lu Hanliu was stunned.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Shen Luoping suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he softened his voice and said: "I don't want to marry her, I don't like her."
This time Lu Hanliu was finally convinced that he did not have auditory hallucinations, so he murmured, and then said after a while: "Well, I know."
Shen Luoping: "..." What do you know.
Lu Hanliu first smiled, and then said, "Last time, big brother told me that you don't have anyone you like, so you don't want to get married again."
Shen Luoping couldn't help sighing because of these words. According to Lu Hanliu's current mood, he still had to take his time and not take strong medicine.
So he said: "It's actually just a cover."
"A pretense?" Lu Hanliu suddenly looked up at him, "Brother's meaning..."
"Actually, does Big Brother have someone he likes..."
Shen Luoping shook his head, but smiled helplessly: "I don't know what's going on...Maybe it's because you and Yanqing are tied down, but I don't really want to start a family, especially you, I still want to see more you."
Lu Hanliu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother...worried about me?"
Shen Luoping picked a rather vague statement: "It stands to reason that I should be more worried about Yanqing, but you are different from Yanqing."
When Lu Hanliu heard these words, his breathing stopped suddenly.
"You and him are different to me." Shen Luoping repeated, "I watched Yanqing grow up, and I treat him like a junior. I'm afraid that something will happen to him. When I was young, I was afraid that he would not be successful if he didn't learn well, and when I grew up, I was worried that he would spend his days drinking and drinking, but you..."
"But you are different. You have been obedient since you were a child, and you will do what I say. Sometimes I forget that you are my younger brother... Yan Qing is my brother because of the status of brother. It is connected by blood, so I can't ignore him. But you, when I took you home, I couldn't help caring about you and caring about you. Yanqing always said that I was partial to you. It is said that I always treat people equally, but in the final analysis, I actually treat you more than I treat him."
"I don't know why, but most of the time I didn't think about things from the big brother's point of view. You went out for five years at that time, although as a big brother, it is necessary to have feelings of reluctance, but... I really don't want you to leave, I'm afraid you What happened to a person outside, then I thought, if Yanqing wanted to go out, I wouldn't be in that mood."
Shen Luoping tried his best to make his words suggestive and ambiguous, and finally said: "I'm actually an incompetent big brother."
Lu Hanliu repeatedly understood his words word by word, and even took apart each word to analyze the meaning contained in it, because he was afraid that his understanding was not what Shen Luoping said.He didn't dare to have any extravagant demands. He was trapped in the cage for a long time, and he didn't dare to imagine how beautiful the outside world was.
Such a child who is eager to get candy will be too scared to stretch out his hand when he really wants to touch the candy wrapper, because he is very panicked in his heart, he is afraid that there is nothing under the candy wrapper, and he just wants to have a candy wrapper .
Lu Hanliu pondered for a long time, but still wasn't sure, so he had to ask Shen Luoping again: "Brother, do you treat me...differently from Second Brother, and from everyone else?"
This time Shen Luoping said straightforwardly: "Yes."
Lu Hanliu's tense nerves relaxed almost immediately, and he finally didn't have to worry about too many things and panic.
Although this answer is not what he wants most.
This is the effect Shen Luoping wants to achieve, so that many things can be explained. For example, the "disgust" that Shen Luoping showed earlier can be attributed to his own feeling that his feelings for Lu Hanliu are a bit out of bounds, and Meng Zhihe said that. He began to doubt his inner thoughts, and it was impossible for him personally to accept the kind of emotion between him and Lu Hanliu, so he developed a resistance.
Shen Luoping gave Lu Hanliu great hope.
Although Lu Hanliu is not the kind of person who would fantasize about himself, he still hopes that Lou Xuyi will have the same feelings for him.
Even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, he will not give up.
That's why Shen Luoping vaguely expressed that he might have some tendency towards him, but he didn't realize it, or he forbade himself to think about that aspect.It's not impossible, it's just that he blocked that possibility by himself.
This is already the best answer for Lu Hanliu.
Lu Hanliu was obviously willing to believe this answer. He didn't know whether it was more joy than shock or surprise. In short, the expression was something Shen Luoping had never seen before.
A bit like a shy young man who has never been in a relationship.
Shen Luoping suddenly felt that this sesame-stuffed brother was a little cute——unless he was blackened.
For some reason, Lu Hanliu didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Shen Luoping, probably because he was afraid that the emotion in his eyes was too strong at the moment, and it would be revealed instantly if he just looked at each other.
Seeing that he was obviously in a better mood, Shen Luoping stopped him in time, and said: "It's getting late, it's time to rest. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll think about it when the time comes. After all, my mother still wants me to marry you again." of."
It was only at this point that Lu Hanliu remembered the matter they had discussed, and asked involuntarily, "Brother...would you go against Madam's wishes?"
"Well. It's just that I don't know how to say it yet. Anyway, I won't marry you a new sister-in-law." Shen Luoping patted him on the shoulder, "That's enough."
Lu Hanliu obviously benefited from what he said tonight, and his complexion relaxed a lot while sleeping.
Shen Luoping thought that the abuse value had almost reached a critical value, and it was time for a big twist.
The critical turning point came half a month later.
The Meng family held a famous sword appreciation party.
Because the Meng family's swordsmanship is mainly based on sword energy damage, it is very important to equip a good sword.
This also created the Meng family's tradition of widely searching for swords. The head of the Meng family is a show-off. There are many swordsmiths in the family, and there are many master swordsmiths among them, so there will be different swords in the world every year.
The Meng family took great pains in the pursuit of extravagance and luxury. It is said that the swords used by the head of the Meng family are all inlaid with gold and silver and embellished with precious stones.
I don't know whether he wants to increase his strength or to blind his opponent's eyes when he uses his sword.
At that time, Shen Luoping also saw Meng Zhihe's saber at the martial arts conference, and it was indeed a bit outrageously fancy. At that time, he only thought that it was Young Master Meng's own unique aesthetics, but he didn't expect that it was hereditary.
In addition to pursuing arrogance and lust, the Meng family has a good reputation. Back then, it was said that the Yin family was the best swordsman in the world. Later, after the Yin family was wiped out, the Meng family pretended to hold a competition, just to show off their reputation as the best swordsman in the world.
In the end, the head of the Meng family got his wish and hung the plaque on the gate of his house - "the best sword in the world".
Shen Luoping was a little shocked by the Meng family's brazenness when he first heard about it, but after knowing all the things the Meng family had done, he got used to it.
This Famous Sword Appreciation Party is actually repeating the same old tune. First, everyone will be shown the swords, and then several family disciples will be asked to practice to demonstrate the power of the Meng family's swordsmanship, and then everyone will be entertained.Although it is a rewarding event with no intentions and blindly showing off, there are not a few heroes who go there every year.
Part of it was a family that had a little contact with the Meng family and sold him to save face, and part of it was because they were afraid of the Meng family and had to come.
Naturally, Shen Luoping would not be invited by the Famous Sword Awards, and in fact he had no interest either.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Hanliu made the move at this moment.
Because Su Xiaogong suddenly came to him secretly the day before.
"Brother Lou, do you want to know who Lu Hanliu is?"
At that time when he asked this question, Shen Luoping just remained silent.
"That's right, you should have figured it out a long time ago. I came to you just to tell Big Brother Lou that Lu Hanliu might have to do something... probably something you can't accept."
Su Xiaogongzi explained: "Tomorrow is the famous sword appreciation event of the Meng family. If Lu Hanliu wants to take revenge, it is the best time. At that time, there will be mixed fish and eyes. Even if one or two people sneak in, they may not be discovered. His target is probably the Patriarch of the Meng family."
Shen Luoping asked him: "What's the point of Mr. Su telling me these things?"
"Brother Lou, don't you want to see Lu Hanliu like that? I think if there is anyone in this world who can change his mind, it is you." Young Master Su didn't beat around the bush with him, and said, "Of course, I am Selfishness, Lu Hanliu may not have any hatred for our Su family, the Meng family is indeed worthy of death, but it is really wrong for the Su family to be buried with him, so..."
"I hope you can come forward at that time. It is reasonable for Lu Hanliu to kill the Meng family. I will not stop him, but the Su family... I am afraid that he will not be able to fight so easily. I don't think Brother Lou wants to see Lu Hanliu either. Fight to the death with our Su family."
"It's better for the Su family to contribute to the flames and completely destroy the Meng family."
Shen Luoping understood what Young Master Su meant. Lu Hanliu chose to take action at the Famous Swords Awards, obviously wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Meng family, and at the same time tell the world the truth of the year, and restore the Yin family's innocence. The reputation of the Qi family is not good, the Qi family was at odds with it because of Qi Ranying, if the Su family also turned against each other, at that time, there might not be many people on the side of the Meng family.
In this case, if the Meng family is destroyed, Lu Hanliu will be exacting revenge.And if the Su family helps him again, it will be easy to restore the situation where the three families of Qi, Su and Yin used to stand together.
This seems to be the best situation for Lu Hanliu.
However, Shen Luoping felt that Lu Hanliu would not accept it. It is true that what happened back then was planned by the Meng family, but both the Qi family and the Su family were accomplices. There is no reason why accomplices are not within the scope of revenge, but if Lu Hanliu wants to take a breath It is impossible to attack the three families anyway.
Shen Luoping thought carefully for a long time before telling Young Master Su that he would also go there.
It's just that it's up to him to decide what kind of role he plays.
Shen Luoping didn't care much about the struggle between the four families, or even whether Lu Hanliu could get his revenge.
What he cares about... is just the task.
What he needs to do now is to seize this opportunity, preferably with one hit, and leave this world.
Early this morning, the Meng family asked a young servant to stand at the door and invite the guests to come in and watch. It looked like a happy event, but this year the Qi family did not go there for the first time.
Probably Qi Ranying made his own decision. The head of the Qi family is not in good health anymore. Qi Ranying has taken over most of the family affairs. He has always been at odds with the Meng family.
Naturally, the Su family went, and Shen Luoping followed Young Master Su's side to pretend to be, and managed to sneak in.
After entering, everyone will be led to the guest room for some repairs, and it will take an hour for the real start of the Famous Sword Award.
After entering the room, Shen Luoping asked Young Master Su: "If Han Liu wants to attack the Patriarch of the Meng family, when is the best time?"
"Just now, at this hour, because most people in the Meng family are still accommodating the guests who arrive one after another, and the Patriarch of the Meng family should rest in his own room, and will not show his face until the rewarding party begins." Young Master Su said After he finished laughing, he asked Shen Luoping, "Could it be that Big Brother Lou has a bodhisattva heart and wants Lu Hanliu to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?"
"Although I'm sure that Lu Hanliu will listen to you, but he is no longer obedient to this extent."
"He and I are just brothers, not even our own." Shen Luoping frowned deliberately, "But if he wants to take revenge, I'm afraid even my elder brother won't recognize him, so he won't even listen to me."
"You...Brother Lou, don't you understand?" Young Master Su was a little puzzled, "How do you think Lu Hanliu treats you?"
"what?"
"Haven't you ever thought that Lu Hanliu doesn't treat you like a brother?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Luoping frowned.
"Qi Ranying is to Lou Yanqing, and Lu Hanliu is to you...they are actually the same." Finally, Young Master Su couldn't bear it anymore, and told Shen Luoping the "shocking news".
Shen Luoping was startled when he heard this sentence, and then immediately denied it: "Impossible."
"Why is it impossible?"
"I'm his big brother."
"You just said it yourself, and it's not your own." Young Master Su said, "I didn't expect that after so many years...you didn't notice it at all?"
Seeing that Shen Luoping didn't speak, Young Master Su continued: "When I first met him, I felt that there was something strange in the way he looked at you. Later, when I realized that you are not biological brothers, I knew that he might have some unusual feelings for you. Originally, I simply thought that he was hiding something deep at such a young age, which was very interesting, and I wanted to tease him, but I didn’t expect that I would become suspicious when I was competing with him.”
"I was originally curious, but in the end I found out the mystery of his life experience. It's a very coincidence. The current situation is really a trick of fate. He may have been living for revenge for more than ten years, so..."
Young Master Su sighed: "If he wants to do something today, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him. In fact, I'm not completely sure about calling you here."
"I don't know if Brother Lou has heard the rumor that the head of the Yin family is also Lu Hanliu's biological father. When the Yin family was destroyed that day, although my Su family didn't show up, someone I knew told my father that the head of the Yin family The power of one person made hundreds of them dare not act rashly, he described... At that time, the head of the Yin family was like a murderous demon."
"In fact, there have long been rumors that if the Yin family's swordsmanship is practiced insanely, it will become a puppet of the sword instead of a person controlling the sword, so my father suspected at that time that the head of the Yin family might have stepped into evil ways, but later the Meng family took him. His wife and children threatened him to wake him up, which eventually led to a tragedy of genocide."
"The people Lu Hanliu killed in the past few years all used the moves of the Yin family's swordsmanship, so the sword manual should not have been burned like the rumors of the Meng family back then. I'm afraid they wanted to keep it in their pockets so that they could learn the Yin family's swordsmanship and dominate the martial arts world. It's just that it's not clear how it returned to Lu Hanliu's hands in the end."
"If Lu Hanliu had been learning the Yin family's swordsmanship for the past few years, it would not be impossible for him to follow in his father's footsteps."
"Brother Lou... Since you have always regarded him as a younger brother, you don't want Lu Hanliu to end up like that in the end, do you? Besides..." Young Master Su suddenly smiled when he said this. The smile was no longer as gentle and elegant as he was usually, but Somewhat speculatively, "Since I already know Lu Hanliu's weakness, then...if that time really comes, I'm afraid I can only follow the example of the Meng family back then and use you as a threat to prevent Lu Hanliu from causing chaos."
Shen Luoping had to say that Mr. Su's calculation was really well done. If Lu Hanliu was willing to listen to his own words and give up revenge on the Su family, it would be a happy ending for everyone. Important people are hostages, repeating the dilemma of the head of the Yin family back then, and can also try their best to reduce the losses of the Su family.
This plan is really not like the idea of Young Master Su, who likes to grow flowers and plants and recite poems.
After Shen Luo calmly listened to what Young Master Su said, he just said indifferently: "Young Master Su really still wants the position of Patriarch of the Su family."
"Heh, who doesn't want to be the top of ten thousand people? There are so many older brothers in front of me. I can't compare them in terms of martial arts ability. I have to pretend that I have no interest in family affairs these years so that they can relax their vigilance. This time Lu Hanliu If I can make things as troublesome as possible, it will be exactly as I want."
"To be honest, I hesitated for a long time, because I didn't know how important you are to Lu Hanliu, but... Five years later, when I saw him again, I just felt that his affection for you would only increase."
"What do you want me to do?" Shen Luoping ignored Mr. Su's words and asked his intention directly.
"Just wait, he doesn't seem to have done anything yet, wait until the Patriarch of the Meng family dies." Young Master Su's tone of talking about his life and death can be regarded as indifferent, "Anyway, he should have died a long time ago, and the things he has done these years are still naive. I thought my father didn't know, if it wasn't because the Qi family refused to cooperate with our Su family, there would be no place for his Meng family in Jianghu."
"If Lu Hanliu is willing to negotiate peace with the Su family, will you let him go?"
"Huh? You changed your address so quickly? But Brother Lou, you still care about him." Young Master Su smiled, "After all, Lu Hanliu was also the victim back then. If we want to harm him, Didn't he become a scum in the rivers and lakes? So...you can rest assured when he doesn't pose a threat to our Su family. "
While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Shen Luoping could vaguely hear a few words like "It's not good, Patriarch..." "Come quickly..." and so on, he knew that it must be Lu Hanliu who made the move.
The assassination of the head of the family is a major event, not to mention the Meng family. As soon as the time comes, the guards will surround the mansion tightly, for fear of letting the assassin go.
But what they didn't expect was that the assassin didn't intend to leave.
Shen Luoping didn't know if Lu Hanliu had succeeded, but Mr. Su had already pulled him outside, "Go find Lu Hanliu quickly."
Originally, all the guests were resting in their own room, but when they heard the noise from outside, some people couldn't help going out to inquire. The servants of the Meng family didn't dare to say anything, they only said that an assassin had come in and told them all to come in. Stay in the room to avoid accidents.
But those guests are mostly famous and powerful family sects in the martial arts, so they would not pay attention to the assassins who heard about them. I just feel that no matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to defeat them with hundreds of people. I don’t know who gave the order With a loud cry, dozens of people went out to catch the assassin.
The main house of the Meng family over there has long been besieged, and Meng Zhihe was the closest to the incident. He felt his father's pulse and knew that he had died for a long time. After all, he was respectful and loving, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he roared: "What's going on!"
None of the surrounding guards dared to respond, Meng Zhihe couldn't help but get furious: "Where are the guards at the door? Are they all dead? How do you do things!"
At this time, a servant stepped forward obediently and said: "When I came here to deliver tea, there was no one at the door. I just thought it was strange. As soon as I opened the door... I saw..."
Meng Zhihe still had some adaptability on the spot when he was no longer promising. He barely held back the grief and anger in his heart, ordered the left and right to block the news, quickly arrested the assassin, and arranged for people to deal with the body of the head of the Meng family. He also raised his sword and went out, thinking only of killing the assassin and cutting him into pieces to vent his hatred.
But he didn't expect that before he took a few steps, another guard rushed in front of him, with a look of horror on his face: "Master! It's not good, the door, the assassin at the door..."
When Meng Zhihe heard the news of the assassin, he immediately perked up and asked him, "The assassin is at the door?"
"Yes, he...he just...sword..."
Seeing that the man was already slurring his speech, Meng Zhihe ignored him, kicked him away, and ordered more than ten people to follow him to the gate of the mansion.
When he got to the door, he realized that at some point all the guests had come out of the room, surrounded by the plaque of the Meng family, and there was a lot of noise all around. Meng Zhihe was about to ask, but when he got closer, he suddenly heard Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, there was the sound of some heavy object falling.
Meng Zhihe was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground just now—it turned out that someone had removed the plaque of the Meng family's "No. [-] Sword in the World".
Seeing such a situation, Meng Zhihe couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately cursed: "Which short-sighted person dares to tear down the signboard of my Meng family!"
Hearing the voice of the Meng family, everyone consciously gave way to Meng Zhihe. Meng Zhihe didn't feel that the behavior of the people was a bit weird, so he just walked forward and saw a person standing on the ground. To the side of the plaque.
Meng Zhihe was startled for a moment, and immediately said the man's name: "Lu Hanliu!"
He didn't expect to be the third young master of the Lou family, let alone why he appeared in this place, so he instinctively scolded: "What are you doing here!"
Lu Hanliu just looked at him coldly: "You really are the cheapest in the world."
Meng Zhihe hadn't realized how Lu Hanliu had the guts to say such a thing, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "You're an assassin?!"
Lu Hanliu ignored him.
At this time Meng Zhihe had drawn his sword and rushed forward. It seemed that he had murderous intentions in his posture, but Lu Hanliu only backed down a little, and then he returned his hand and unsheathed his sword, and performed an overwhelming move.
The Yin family's swordsmanship is unstoppable and unbreakable.
Meng Zhihe realized this at the first moment when he fought with him. He quickly thought of the Yin family's sword technique that had been lost for many years.
So even if Lord Lu Hanliu had a lot of willingness to let him go, I'm afraid Meng Zhihe would kill himself.
But Lou Yanqing asked him: "Brother, do you know what Lu Hanliu will do?"
"When you see him kill someone one day, I'm afraid you will be frightened."
Shen Luoping just said: "I believe that Hanliu has his own considerations, he has his blood feud, I have no right to interfere or criticize the teaching."
"Brother, you are so partial to him? Otherwise, I grew up with you, and I almost thought..." Lou Yanqing thought for a long time and still couldn't come out with the next word, and finally had to say, "Hmph, you Think whatever you want, brother, you will see clearly his true face when the time comes!"
Shen Luoping always felt that Lou Yanqing might have seen Lu Hanliu's feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have blamed Lu Hanliu in front of him all day long. In the past, he just didn't like Lu Hanliu, but now his feelings almost developed into disgust. It seems that although Lou Yanqing is annoyed by his elder brother, in his heart he still wants to protect him.
In all fairness, as a younger brother, there is nothing wrong with not wanting his elder brother to get involved with someone like Lu Hanliu.
But Shen Luoping had to get inextricably linked with Lu Hanliu.
He thought about it for a long time. Lu Hanliu didn't seem like the kind of person who would be merciful and repay grievances with kindness. He didn't necessarily limit the targets of revenge to some small clans and sects he participated in back then and the head of the Meng family who caused trouble. Shen Luoping felt that Su It is estimated that the Jia family and the Qi family are also related.
Although I don't know if Lu Hanliu will classify these two families as enemies, but the Meng family alone is enough for him to deal with.
Although the status of the Meng family has declined in recent years, the Su family has always been in power in recent years, followed by the Qi family. It seems that there is not much room for the Meng family in the Jianghu, but after all, it is a big family that has experienced decades. Just the few hundred clansmen and wealth are enough to make people awe-inspiring, so if Lu Hanliu wants to take revenge, it may not be easy.
As far as Shen Luoping knows, Lu Hanliu should be alone, without any helpers or accomplices. He should be the only one who survived when the Yin family was wiped out. In this way, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two of them to make any big waves, not to mention that Fu Qingli may not be proficient in martial arts.
Even if it's the protagonist, you can't use Goldfinger to fight against thousands of people alone, right?Shen Luoping thinks this way, but thinking about what Su Xiaogong said before, the head of the Yin family fights against hundreds of clans with one person's power, it seems that this is not untenable, but... if it is against Su Qimeng's three families, it may be quite To become an enemy of the world, I am afraid that Lu Hanliu cannot do it.
Lu Hanliu is a smart person, Shen Luoping is not worried that he can't think of a way out, but he doesn't know what step Lu Hanliu will take in order to get revenge, killing all the Meng family?Or do all three families want to take revenge, or just marry the lives of a few heads of the family?
What kind of choice will indirectly change the development of the relationship between him and Lu Hanliu. After all, no one wants his brother to be a murderous maniac. If Lu Hanliu really starts killing, it will be really difficult.
In the next few days, getting along with Lu Hanliu didn't have too many twists and turns, and there was even a relatively harmonious scene of brothers and sisters. Although Shen Luoping knew it was a fake, he was still relieved. That night, Lu Hanliu was probably really hurt. After all, Shen Luoping's attitude was too revealing - it was obvious that he couldn't accept that his younger brother had strange feelings for him.
Shen Luoping was actually a little worried that Lu Hanliu would have some indescribable thoughts about him because of this, and he didn't want to be locked up in a dark room.
In the end, it didn't stop for two days and the moth came out again, because the mother of the building suddenly told Shen Luoping that his cousin Yanyun was going back to her mother's house in the next few days.
Shen Luoping's first reaction when he heard the news was: "Who is Yanyun?"
It was only after the system reminded him that it turned out to be a childhood sweetheart from the original main building, Xu Yi, but she had been married for eight or nine years, why did the building mother suddenly mention it again today?
After listening to Lou's mother's detailed explanation, Shen Luoping realized that although Yan Yun's cousin had been married for almost ten years, she only had one daughter, and that cousin didn't seem to be doing very well in her in-law's house.
Because the family was only passed down to her husband's generation, and she has not been able to continue the family's incense, it is inevitable that she will be bullied. Originally, that cousin Yanyun had always swallowed her anger, but her husband went out to do business the year before last and made a fortune. The idea of taking a concubine came into being, Yan Yun couldn't accept it at the beginning, after all, they were husband and wife for almost ten years, no matter what, they had unusual feelings, but her husband said that the continuation of the incense was important, Yan Yun didn't dare to resist She only showed a little bit of displeasure, which made her husband disappointed. He only thought that she was a messy wife, so he wrote a letter of divorce in a fit of anger.
Yanyun had no choice but to take her daughter back to her natal home. Originally, this matter was considered shameless in ancient times, but the mother of the building didn't know what to think. She felt that Shen Luoping's refusal to remarry for so many years was not because she missed his dead wife, but because she still wanted to marry her. It was because he couldn't forget his cousin that he came up with this idea. She probably didn't like the remarried woman very much. It's just that Shen Luoping declined no matter which girl he introduced these years. He was so anxious that he had no other choice.
The mother of Lou said: "I only hope that you can start a family and no longer be alone, otherwise how can we go with peace of mind. Although your cousin Yanyun remarried, if you are willing to marry, we will naturally marry her when she comes over. You won't treat her badly either, the two of you have been in love since you were a child... It's also my fault that I didn't like their family at the time, I knew you would never marry for her life, I would never have..."
Lou's mother became more and more guilty as she spoke, Shen Luoping was dumbfounded, and finally had no choice but to say: "Mother, I don't want to get married, not because of cousin Yanyun."
"Why is that? Both you and Yanqing refuse to get married and have children, telling us... Hey, what do you think?"
"..." Shen Luoping thought for a while but couldn't think of a suitable reason. Seeing his silence, Lou Mu thought it was acquiescence, and said again: "What are you scrupulous about? I asked your cousin, what she meant, If you are willing to marry, she will be willing, so you don't have to worry about making things difficult for her."
"And... let my son think about it for a while."
In the end, Shen Luoping had no choice but to delay as long as he could.
He didn't expect to be like this and still be able to avoid marriage. The masculinity of this era is not shameless, but it is not as prevalent as it was in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After all, the elders in the family do not want to see a son who is good at Longyang Yes, so if the mother of Lou knew that her two sons had gone out with men, she would probably go west immediately.
Shen Luoping thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a solution, but suddenly he thought of a good idea to increase the progress of the task.
The mother of the building kept asking him why he didn't want to get married. Others only said that he was missing his dead wife, and the mother of the building thought he was thinking about his cousin Yanyun, but it was all their speculation after all. What Shen Luoping thought was only known to him. , so knowing that he said the answer, others can only accept it even if they don't believe it.
Believe it or not, this kind of thing is different from person to person.
So he would choose an answer that Lu Hanliu would definitely want to believe.
Lu Hanliu doesn't need to be convinced, it's enough that he wants to believe it, it's not like there's a saying, if you're willing to believe it, it's true.
After dinner that day, Shen Luoping stopped Lu Hanliu when he was about to rest.
Lu Hanliu turned his head and asked him, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Shen Luo put on a face and asked first: "How is the injury on your shoulder?"
In fact, it has healed a long time ago, the wound is not deep, and there is Qi’s exclusive ointment, so naturally it will be healed in five or six days. Although Lu Hanliu thought this question was a bit strange, he still answered honestly: “It’s already healed.” .”
Shen Luoping hummed, and then remained silent.
With his appearance like this, Lu Hanliu realized early on that he was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Brother, do you want to talk to me?"
Shen Luoping raised his eyes to look at Lu Hanliu, and said after a long while: "There is something today that makes me very unhappy."
Hearing what he said, Lu Hanliu couldn't help but tremble, fearing that his elder brother would be displeased by his out-of-the-line behavior, but he was completely stunned when he answered Shen Luoping's words.
"Today, my mother told me that my cousin Yanyun was divorced by her husband's family, and now she has returned to her mother's family."
"Mother means that she wants me to marry her to continue her marriage."
Shen Luoping just threw out these two sentences, and then stopped talking, just quietly looked at Lu Hanliu, waiting for his reaction.
Lu Hanliu felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and he didn't recover for a long time. Shen Luoping called him twice before he answered vaguely.He didn't dare to peek at the expression on Shen Luoping's face, there was only a gloomy look in his eyes, which was well concealed by the dimness of the candlelight.
"If the eldest brother likes it, the younger brother will definitely bless him." Lu Hanliu didn't know how long he endured it before he burst out the emotions smoldering in his chest. Although there was a smile on his face, the curvature of the corner of his mouth seemed to be It was cut out with a knife, and it looked weird and sad.
Shen Luoping looked into Lu Hanliu's eyes, and stared directly at him. The young man did not resist the contact with his eyes, but his eyes only had deep and thick colors, and he couldn't see the large waves and undercurrents in them.
But Shen Luoping could almost feel the muffled sound of Lu Hanliu's anger and grief repeatedly colliding in his chest, like a trapped animal in a cage, unable to escape from the shackles, and could only moan silently.
It is too cruel to erase the promise so easily, even though he said before that he would be with him forever.
In fact, the trapped beast had already given up the idea of escaping, because someone told him that even if he stayed in the cage, he would always be with him outside.So he is willing to be imprisoned by that feeling for a lifetime.But he forgot that people outside are free after all, even if you promise not to leave, if you really want to leave, you are in the cage and he is outside, how can you stop him?It's just self-deception.
The degree of abuse in Lu Hanliu's heart is increasing exponentially at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the number reached the dangerous number of seventy under the prompt of the system, Shen Luoping finally said: "But I don't like it."
Lu Hanliu was stunned.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Shen Luoping suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he softened his voice and said: "I don't want to marry her, I don't like her."
This time Lu Hanliu was finally convinced that he did not have auditory hallucinations, so he murmured, and then said after a while: "Well, I know."
Shen Luoping: "..." What do you know.
Lu Hanliu first smiled, and then said, "Last time, big brother told me that you don't have anyone you like, so you don't want to get married again."
Shen Luoping couldn't help sighing because of these words. According to Lu Hanliu's current mood, he still had to take his time and not take strong medicine.
So he said: "It's actually just a cover."
"A pretense?" Lu Hanliu suddenly looked up at him, "Brother's meaning..."
"Actually, does Big Brother have someone he likes..."
Shen Luoping shook his head, but smiled helplessly: "I don't know what's going on...Maybe it's because you and Yanqing are tied down, but I don't really want to start a family, especially you, I still want to see more you."
Lu Hanliu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother...worried about me?"
Shen Luoping picked a rather vague statement: "It stands to reason that I should be more worried about Yanqing, but you are different from Yanqing."
When Lu Hanliu heard these words, his breathing stopped suddenly.
"You and him are different to me." Shen Luoping repeated, "I watched Yanqing grow up, and I treat him like a junior. I'm afraid that something will happen to him. When I was young, I was afraid that he would not be successful if he didn't learn well, and when I grew up, I was worried that he would spend his days drinking and drinking, but you..."
"But you are different. You have been obedient since you were a child, and you will do what I say. Sometimes I forget that you are my younger brother... Yan Qing is my brother because of the status of brother. It is connected by blood, so I can't ignore him. But you, when I took you home, I couldn't help caring about you and caring about you. Yanqing always said that I was partial to you. It is said that I always treat people equally, but in the final analysis, I actually treat you more than I treat him."
"I don't know why, but most of the time I didn't think about things from the big brother's point of view. You went out for five years at that time, although as a big brother, it is necessary to have feelings of reluctance, but... I really don't want you to leave, I'm afraid you What happened to a person outside, then I thought, if Yanqing wanted to go out, I wouldn't be in that mood."
Shen Luoping tried his best to make his words suggestive and ambiguous, and finally said: "I'm actually an incompetent big brother."
Lu Hanliu repeatedly understood his words word by word, and even took apart each word to analyze the meaning contained in it, because he was afraid that his understanding was not what Shen Luoping said.He didn't dare to have any extravagant demands. He was trapped in the cage for a long time, and he didn't dare to imagine how beautiful the outside world was.
Such a child who is eager to get candy will be too scared to stretch out his hand when he really wants to touch the candy wrapper, because he is very panicked in his heart, he is afraid that there is nothing under the candy wrapper, and he just wants to have a candy wrapper .
Lu Hanliu pondered for a long time, but still wasn't sure, so he had to ask Shen Luoping again: "Brother, do you treat me...differently from Second Brother, and from everyone else?"
This time Shen Luoping said straightforwardly: "Yes."
Lu Hanliu's tense nerves relaxed almost immediately, and he finally didn't have to worry about too many things and panic.
Although this answer is not what he wants most.
This is the effect Shen Luoping wants to achieve, so that many things can be explained. For example, the "disgust" that Shen Luoping showed earlier can be attributed to his own feeling that his feelings for Lu Hanliu are a bit out of bounds, and Meng Zhihe said that. He began to doubt his inner thoughts, and it was impossible for him personally to accept the kind of emotion between him and Lu Hanliu, so he developed a resistance.
Shen Luoping gave Lu Hanliu great hope.
Although Lu Hanliu is not the kind of person who would fantasize about himself, he still hopes that Lou Xuyi will have the same feelings for him.
Even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, he will not give up.
That's why Shen Luoping vaguely expressed that he might have some tendency towards him, but he didn't realize it, or he forbade himself to think about that aspect.It's not impossible, it's just that he blocked that possibility by himself.
This is already the best answer for Lu Hanliu.
Lu Hanliu was obviously willing to believe this answer. He didn't know whether it was more joy than shock or surprise. In short, the expression was something Shen Luoping had never seen before.
A bit like a shy young man who has never been in a relationship.
Shen Luoping suddenly felt that this sesame-stuffed brother was a little cute——unless he was blackened.
For some reason, Lu Hanliu didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Shen Luoping, probably because he was afraid that the emotion in his eyes was too strong at the moment, and it would be revealed instantly if he just looked at each other.
Seeing that he was obviously in a better mood, Shen Luoping stopped him in time, and said: "It's getting late, it's time to rest. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll think about it when the time comes. After all, my mother still wants me to marry you again." of."
It was only at this point that Lu Hanliu remembered the matter they had discussed, and asked involuntarily, "Brother...would you go against Madam's wishes?"
"Well. It's just that I don't know how to say it yet. Anyway, I won't marry you a new sister-in-law." Shen Luoping patted him on the shoulder, "That's enough."
Lu Hanliu obviously benefited from what he said tonight, and his complexion relaxed a lot while sleeping.
Shen Luoping thought that the abuse value had almost reached a critical value, and it was time for a big twist.
The critical turning point came half a month later.
The Meng family held a famous sword appreciation party.
Because the Meng family's swordsmanship is mainly based on sword energy damage, it is very important to equip a good sword.
This also created the Meng family's tradition of widely searching for swords. The head of the Meng family is a show-off. There are many swordsmiths in the family, and there are many master swordsmiths among them, so there will be different swords in the world every year.
The Meng family took great pains in the pursuit of extravagance and luxury. It is said that the swords used by the head of the Meng family are all inlaid with gold and silver and embellished with precious stones.
I don't know whether he wants to increase his strength or to blind his opponent's eyes when he uses his sword.
At that time, Shen Luoping also saw Meng Zhihe's saber at the martial arts conference, and it was indeed a bit outrageously fancy. At that time, he only thought that it was Young Master Meng's own unique aesthetics, but he didn't expect that it was hereditary.
In addition to pursuing arrogance and lust, the Meng family has a good reputation. Back then, it was said that the Yin family was the best swordsman in the world. Later, after the Yin family was wiped out, the Meng family pretended to hold a competition, just to show off their reputation as the best swordsman in the world.
In the end, the head of the Meng family got his wish and hung the plaque on the gate of his house - "the best sword in the world".
Shen Luoping was a little shocked by the Meng family's brazenness when he first heard about it, but after knowing all the things the Meng family had done, he got used to it.
This Famous Sword Appreciation Party is actually repeating the same old tune. First, everyone will be shown the swords, and then several family disciples will be asked to practice to demonstrate the power of the Meng family's swordsmanship, and then everyone will be entertained.Although it is a rewarding event with no intentions and blindly showing off, there are not a few heroes who go there every year.
Part of it was a family that had a little contact with the Meng family and sold him to save face, and part of it was because they were afraid of the Meng family and had to come.
Naturally, Shen Luoping would not be invited by the Famous Sword Awards, and in fact he had no interest either.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Hanliu made the move at this moment.
Because Su Xiaogong suddenly came to him secretly the day before.
"Brother Lou, do you want to know who Lu Hanliu is?"
At that time when he asked this question, Shen Luoping just remained silent.
"That's right, you should have figured it out a long time ago. I came to you just to tell Big Brother Lou that Lu Hanliu might have to do something... probably something you can't accept."
Su Xiaogongzi explained: "Tomorrow is the famous sword appreciation event of the Meng family. If Lu Hanliu wants to take revenge, it is the best time. At that time, there will be mixed fish and eyes. Even if one or two people sneak in, they may not be discovered. His target is probably the Patriarch of the Meng family."
Shen Luoping asked him: "What's the point of Mr. Su telling me these things?"
"Brother Lou, don't you want to see Lu Hanliu like that? I think if there is anyone in this world who can change his mind, it is you." Young Master Su didn't beat around the bush with him, and said, "Of course, I am Selfishness, Lu Hanliu may not have any hatred for our Su family, the Meng family is indeed worthy of death, but it is really wrong for the Su family to be buried with him, so..."
"I hope you can come forward at that time. It is reasonable for Lu Hanliu to kill the Meng family. I will not stop him, but the Su family... I am afraid that he will not be able to fight so easily. I don't think Brother Lou wants to see Lu Hanliu either. Fight to the death with our Su family."
"It's better for the Su family to contribute to the flames and completely destroy the Meng family."
Shen Luoping understood what Young Master Su meant. Lu Hanliu chose to take action at the Famous Swords Awards, obviously wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Meng family, and at the same time tell the world the truth of the year, and restore the Yin family's innocence. The reputation of the Qi family is not good, the Qi family was at odds with it because of Qi Ranying, if the Su family also turned against each other, at that time, there might not be many people on the side of the Meng family.
In this case, if the Meng family is destroyed, Lu Hanliu will be exacting revenge.And if the Su family helps him again, it will be easy to restore the situation where the three families of Qi, Su and Yin used to stand together.
This seems to be the best situation for Lu Hanliu.
However, Shen Luoping felt that Lu Hanliu would not accept it. It is true that what happened back then was planned by the Meng family, but both the Qi family and the Su family were accomplices. There is no reason why accomplices are not within the scope of revenge, but if Lu Hanliu wants to take a breath It is impossible to attack the three families anyway.
Shen Luoping thought carefully for a long time before telling Young Master Su that he would also go there.
It's just that it's up to him to decide what kind of role he plays.
Shen Luoping didn't care much about the struggle between the four families, or even whether Lu Hanliu could get his revenge.
What he cares about... is just the task.
What he needs to do now is to seize this opportunity, preferably with one hit, and leave this world.
Early this morning, the Meng family asked a young servant to stand at the door and invite the guests to come in and watch. It looked like a happy event, but this year the Qi family did not go there for the first time.
Probably Qi Ranying made his own decision. The head of the Qi family is not in good health anymore. Qi Ranying has taken over most of the family affairs. He has always been at odds with the Meng family.
Naturally, the Su family went, and Shen Luoping followed Young Master Su's side to pretend to be, and managed to sneak in.
After entering, everyone will be led to the guest room for some repairs, and it will take an hour for the real start of the Famous Sword Award.
After entering the room, Shen Luoping asked Young Master Su: "If Han Liu wants to attack the Patriarch of the Meng family, when is the best time?"
"Just now, at this hour, because most people in the Meng family are still accommodating the guests who arrive one after another, and the Patriarch of the Meng family should rest in his own room, and will not show his face until the rewarding party begins." Young Master Su said After he finished laughing, he asked Shen Luoping, "Could it be that Big Brother Lou has a bodhisattva heart and wants Lu Hanliu to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?"
"Although I'm sure that Lu Hanliu will listen to you, but he is no longer obedient to this extent."
"He and I are just brothers, not even our own." Shen Luoping frowned deliberately, "But if he wants to take revenge, I'm afraid even my elder brother won't recognize him, so he won't even listen to me."
"You...Brother Lou, don't you understand?" Young Master Su was a little puzzled, "How do you think Lu Hanliu treats you?"
"what?"
"Haven't you ever thought that Lu Hanliu doesn't treat you like a brother?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Luoping frowned.
"Qi Ranying is to Lou Yanqing, and Lu Hanliu is to you...they are actually the same." Finally, Young Master Su couldn't bear it anymore, and told Shen Luoping the "shocking news".
Shen Luoping was startled when he heard this sentence, and then immediately denied it: "Impossible."
"Why is it impossible?"
"I'm his big brother."
"You just said it yourself, and it's not your own." Young Master Su said, "I didn't expect that after so many years...you didn't notice it at all?"
Seeing that Shen Luoping didn't speak, Young Master Su continued: "When I first met him, I felt that there was something strange in the way he looked at you. Later, when I realized that you are not biological brothers, I knew that he might have some unusual feelings for you. Originally, I simply thought that he was hiding something deep at such a young age, which was very interesting, and I wanted to tease him, but I didn’t expect that I would become suspicious when I was competing with him.”
"I was originally curious, but in the end I found out the mystery of his life experience. It's a very coincidence. The current situation is really a trick of fate. He may have been living for revenge for more than ten years, so..."
Young Master Su sighed: "If he wants to do something today, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him. In fact, I'm not completely sure about calling you here."
"I don't know if Brother Lou has heard the rumor that the head of the Yin family is also Lu Hanliu's biological father. When the Yin family was destroyed that day, although my Su family didn't show up, someone I knew told my father that the head of the Yin family The power of one person made hundreds of them dare not act rashly, he described... At that time, the head of the Yin family was like a murderous demon."
"In fact, there have long been rumors that if the Yin family's swordsmanship is practiced insanely, it will become a puppet of the sword instead of a person controlling the sword, so my father suspected at that time that the head of the Yin family might have stepped into evil ways, but later the Meng family took him. His wife and children threatened him to wake him up, which eventually led to a tragedy of genocide."
"The people Lu Hanliu killed in the past few years all used the moves of the Yin family's swordsmanship, so the sword manual should not have been burned like the rumors of the Meng family back then. I'm afraid they wanted to keep it in their pockets so that they could learn the Yin family's swordsmanship and dominate the martial arts world. It's just that it's not clear how it returned to Lu Hanliu's hands in the end."
"If Lu Hanliu had been learning the Yin family's swordsmanship for the past few years, it would not be impossible for him to follow in his father's footsteps."
"Brother Lou... Since you have always regarded him as a younger brother, you don't want Lu Hanliu to end up like that in the end, do you? Besides..." Young Master Su suddenly smiled when he said this. The smile was no longer as gentle and elegant as he was usually, but Somewhat speculatively, "Since I already know Lu Hanliu's weakness, then...if that time really comes, I'm afraid I can only follow the example of the Meng family back then and use you as a threat to prevent Lu Hanliu from causing chaos."
Shen Luoping had to say that Mr. Su's calculation was really well done. If Lu Hanliu was willing to listen to his own words and give up revenge on the Su family, it would be a happy ending for everyone. Important people are hostages, repeating the dilemma of the head of the Yin family back then, and can also try their best to reduce the losses of the Su family.
This plan is really not like the idea of Young Master Su, who likes to grow flowers and plants and recite poems.
After Shen Luo calmly listened to what Young Master Su said, he just said indifferently: "Young Master Su really still wants the position of Patriarch of the Su family."
"Heh, who doesn't want to be the top of ten thousand people? There are so many older brothers in front of me. I can't compare them in terms of martial arts ability. I have to pretend that I have no interest in family affairs these years so that they can relax their vigilance. This time Lu Hanliu If I can make things as troublesome as possible, it will be exactly as I want."
"To be honest, I hesitated for a long time, because I didn't know how important you are to Lu Hanliu, but... Five years later, when I saw him again, I just felt that his affection for you would only increase."
"What do you want me to do?" Shen Luoping ignored Mr. Su's words and asked his intention directly.
"Just wait, he doesn't seem to have done anything yet, wait until the Patriarch of the Meng family dies." Young Master Su's tone of talking about his life and death can be regarded as indifferent, "Anyway, he should have died a long time ago, and the things he has done these years are still naive. I thought my father didn't know, if it wasn't because the Qi family refused to cooperate with our Su family, there would be no place for his Meng family in Jianghu."
"If Lu Hanliu is willing to negotiate peace with the Su family, will you let him go?"
"Huh? You changed your address so quickly? But Brother Lou, you still care about him." Young Master Su smiled, "After all, Lu Hanliu was also the victim back then. If we want to harm him, Didn't he become a scum in the rivers and lakes? So...you can rest assured when he doesn't pose a threat to our Su family. "
While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Shen Luoping could vaguely hear a few words like "It's not good, Patriarch..." "Come quickly..." and so on, he knew that it must be Lu Hanliu who made the move.
The assassination of the head of the family is a major event, not to mention the Meng family. As soon as the time comes, the guards will surround the mansion tightly, for fear of letting the assassin go.
But what they didn't expect was that the assassin didn't intend to leave.
Shen Luoping didn't know if Lu Hanliu had succeeded, but Mr. Su had already pulled him outside, "Go find Lu Hanliu quickly."
Originally, all the guests were resting in their own room, but when they heard the noise from outside, some people couldn't help going out to inquire. The servants of the Meng family didn't dare to say anything, they only said that an assassin had come in and told them all to come in. Stay in the room to avoid accidents.
But those guests are mostly famous and powerful family sects in the martial arts, so they would not pay attention to the assassins who heard about them. I just feel that no matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to defeat them with hundreds of people. I don’t know who gave the order With a loud cry, dozens of people went out to catch the assassin.
The main house of the Meng family over there has long been besieged, and Meng Zhihe was the closest to the incident. He felt his father's pulse and knew that he had died for a long time. After all, he was respectful and loving, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he roared: "What's going on!"
None of the surrounding guards dared to respond, Meng Zhihe couldn't help but get furious: "Where are the guards at the door? Are they all dead? How do you do things!"
At this time, a servant stepped forward obediently and said: "When I came here to deliver tea, there was no one at the door. I just thought it was strange. As soon as I opened the door... I saw..."
Meng Zhihe still had some adaptability on the spot when he was no longer promising. He barely held back the grief and anger in his heart, ordered the left and right to block the news, quickly arrested the assassin, and arranged for people to deal with the body of the head of the Meng family. He also raised his sword and went out, thinking only of killing the assassin and cutting him into pieces to vent his hatred.
But he didn't expect that before he took a few steps, another guard rushed in front of him, with a look of horror on his face: "Master! It's not good, the door, the assassin at the door..."
When Meng Zhihe heard the news of the assassin, he immediately perked up and asked him, "The assassin is at the door?"
"Yes, he...he just...sword..."
Seeing that the man was already slurring his speech, Meng Zhihe ignored him, kicked him away, and ordered more than ten people to follow him to the gate of the mansion.
When he got to the door, he realized that at some point all the guests had come out of the room, surrounded by the plaque of the Meng family, and there was a lot of noise all around. Meng Zhihe was about to ask, but when he got closer, he suddenly heard Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, there was the sound of some heavy object falling.
Meng Zhihe was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground just now—it turned out that someone had removed the plaque of the Meng family's "No. [-] Sword in the World".
Seeing such a situation, Meng Zhihe couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately cursed: "Which short-sighted person dares to tear down the signboard of my Meng family!"
Hearing the voice of the Meng family, everyone consciously gave way to Meng Zhihe. Meng Zhihe didn't feel that the behavior of the people was a bit weird, so he just walked forward and saw a person standing on the ground. To the side of the plaque.
Meng Zhihe was startled for a moment, and immediately said the man's name: "Lu Hanliu!"
He didn't expect to be the third young master of the Lou family, let alone why he appeared in this place, so he instinctively scolded: "What are you doing here!"
Lu Hanliu just looked at him coldly: "You really are the cheapest in the world."
Meng Zhihe hadn't realized how Lu Hanliu had the guts to say such a thing, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "You're an assassin?!"
Lu Hanliu ignored him.
At this time Meng Zhihe had drawn his sword and rushed forward. It seemed that he had murderous intentions in his posture, but Lu Hanliu only backed down a little, and then he returned his hand and unsheathed his sword, and performed an overwhelming move.
The Yin family's swordsmanship is unstoppable and unbreakable.
Meng Zhihe realized this at the first moment when he fought with him. He quickly thought of the Yin family's sword technique that had been lost for many years.
