4. A big gamble
The moon is coming, and Wushuang City is still very lively at this time. The night market is decorated with lights and colorful people, and the traffic is full of traffic. There are tourists and couples enjoying the night view everywhere.
At this moment, Lu Chen came alone to the back garden of the city lord's mansion. There was a small lake here, and a bridge built by wooden stakes extended from the shore to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
"It's been three years, Father, I'll come to see you!" Lu Chen took a pot of wine and fell on the eaves of the pavilion.
The cool wind blew across the lake, causing ripples. The bangs on Lu Chen's forehead fluttered gently, his eyes swept across the familiar pavilions and towers, and a feeling of sorrow appeared in his heart.
The City Lord's Mansion is where he grew up. Every tree and grass here seems to be his relatives, giving him a warm feeling. Unfortunately, some things have changed a lot and are no longer the same as before.
"Li Mengjun, you are safe now. Do you still remember the promise you made here?" Lu Chen raised his head and took a sip of wine, letting a spicy taste fill the taste buds in his mouth. Looking at the pavilion, he couldn't help but see things and his eyes gradually drifted.
Time flows, scene changes.
I remember going back three years ago, Lu Chen was just a fifteen-year-old ignorant boy. He was spoiled since childhood. He relied on his prominent family background and was extremely arrogant and domineering. He was ignorant and ignorant. He caused trouble everywhere in Wushuang City all day long. His father Lu Zhenxuan was controversial in Wushuang City because of his incompetent education. He was also very troubled to see him, a villain.
It was not until one day that Li Lufang, a family friend from Dongling, Yangzhou, came to visit him with his only daughter Li Mengjun, which changed Lu Lingfeng's life trajectory.
Li Mengjun was only sixteen years old that year, one year older than Lu Lingfeng. She was beautiful, beautiful, first-class in shape, and aloof and arrogant temperament that deeply attracted Lu Lingfeng, who was used to flowers and plants.
It was in this pavilion that Lu Lingfeng once boldly proposed marriage to her in front of her father Lu Zhenxuan and Li Mengjun's father.
In terms of status, Li Mengjun is just a child from the Moliu family. He is unknown and has no status in the Jiuzhou continent, and cannot be compared with Lu Lingfeng's family.
Speaking of which, marriage with the Lu family has greatly enhanced the Li Mengjun family's status and fame in the world.
The Li family and the Lu family are family friends, but in terms of relationships and status in the world, the Li family wants to win over the Lu family. Of course, Li Lufang had no objection and agreed very much.
However, his daughter Li Mengjun was very resistant to Lu Lingfeng and even opposed the marriage.
There is only one reason. Li Mengjun looked down on Lu Lingfeng and a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have a romantic relationship.
Li Mengjun practiced martial arts at the age of six, trained her body at the age of eight, and reached the third level of acquired body training at the age of eleven. At the age of thirteen, she refined her internal strength and joined the outer sect of Xuanyin Pavilion. At the age of sixteen, she broke through to the seventh level of acquiredness, and ranked among the 108th list of the Qianlong List. She was accepted as a direct disciple by the head of the sect. She can be said to be the Guangzong and the ancestors.
It is famous in Yangzhou, admired by countless famous children, and has extremely proud capital.
Li Mengjun is such a proud son, with a mature mind and shoulders the important task of revitalizing the family since she was a child. Her eyes naturally look far-reaching. With her extraordinary talent and strategy, sooner or later, she will fly to the branches as a phoenix. How could she fall in love with a ignorant playboy?
Lu Lingfeng wanted to marry her, but in her opinion, this was just a toad that wanted to eat swan meat, which was a joke.
When Lu Lingfeng first saw Li Mengjun, he was shocked and secretly made up his mind to marry her.
After being ruthlessly rejected by Li Mengjun, Lu Lingfeng's self-esteem was strongly trampled upon, and he was acting like a scoundrel to force Li Mengjun to marry him.
The atmosphere was very awkward. Li Lufang did not want to offend the Lu family, so she had to persuade her daughter with kind words. Li Mengjun felt very angry when she saw Lu Lingfeng so rogue.
Lu Zhenxuan was speechless, and never expected that he would give birth to such a shameless playboy!
When Li Mengjun saw her father in a dilemma, she hated Lu Lingfeng for being so domineering, but she also had a soft-hearted personality and was never forced. She could never agree to something that could not be forced. It was related to lifelong happiness, so how could she be so careless?
So, she said something unforgettable to Lu Lingfeng: "The man who can be my husband in the future will be a hero who applauds, has the highest martial arts skills, and is famous all over the world. Why do you, a playboy who is ignorant? With your father's glory and the beauty of your ancestors?"
"In that case, I will only look down on you even more. I, Li Mengjun, never rely on anyone, any background, and rely on my own strength. I will get everything you have now in the future. I don't need your favor, let alone your support. Put away your extremely superior arrogance, you can't afford to play this game."
Lu Lingfeng was stunned by such sarcasm. He grew up with praise and flattery since childhood, and has never been looked down upon by others!
The other party was so arrogant and was just a woman, which made him feel extremely angry and humiliated. So his brain became hot and he proposed to make a bet with Li Mengjun.
However, just this small bet unexpectedly changed the fate of the two of them in the future.
Li Mengjun asked him what he bet on?
"In five years of gambling, I will definitely achieve the day you expected!" Lu Lingfeng said proudly.
There should be a big gamble in life. It is not a real man to do ordinary things. You either die vigorously or do a great career, so that you can live a life of vain!
When Li Mengjun heard this, she thought it was a joke and didn't care. She just said coldly: "What if you can't do it!"
"Be a slave or a servant, cut into pieces, and you will be destined to the emperor!" Lu Lingfeng said confidently.
Li Mengjun is a very propositional woman. After careful consideration, in order to get rid of Lu Lingfeng's entanglement, she accepted this delaying plan. The two of them slapped into a sworn oath, which could be regarded as resolving the embarrassment for his father.
Lu Zhenxuan never expected that Li Mengjun's words could inspire his son so much, and he felt very pleased.
So he passed the inheritance ring and the ancestral sword "Panlong" to Lu Lingxuan at night to help him realize his promise as soon as possible and revitalize the family.
Lu Lingfeng got these things and his confidence rose sharply, believing that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't know that a long-planned conspiracy was shrouding the Lu family.
He was naughty and learned from his father that Li Mengjun stayed in his villa that night and couldn't help but peeping in his heart. Taking advantage of the rich night, he disguised himself and put on his night clothes and touched Li Mengjun's courtyard.
Unfortunately, a top killer organization called "Seven Kills" in the world had already secretly set its sights on the Lu family, and on this dark and windy night, it agreed to launch an attack.
The organization "Seven Kills" is composed of seven killer members, with different figures, first-class martial arts and cruel means. When talking about them in the world, everyone is afraid of being scared.
It is rumored that the targets that can be targeted by the "Seven Kills" and all of them are all wealthy, heroes of a generation, or famous knights.
The Lu family's targeted by the "Seven Kills" is enough to show the Lu family's weight and status in the world.
After finding out the details, the "Seven Kills" broke into the city lord's mansion without any concerns, and directly broke into the city lord's mansion, and carried out a massacre like a tiger entering the flock of sheep and slaughtered bloody slaughter.
Lu Zhenxuan was furious and fought back with all his might. In this extraordinary dark night, dark clouds were surging over Wushuang City, lightning and thunder were coming, and the wind and rain were about to come. Under the night sky, the two sides fought a crazy fierce battle, and the movement was very huge.
The courtyard where Li Mengjun lives was also assassinated by a member of the Qiks.
Although Li Mengjun is extremely talented, her strength is limited and she is no match for the enemy at all. She has been seriously injured by the opponent many times.
After the accident occurred in the city lord's mansion, the sound of killing shook the sky and the smoke of war spread everywhere. Seeing this scene, Lu Lingfeng, who was hiding under the eaves, suddenly felt something was wrong and suddenly panicked. After all, he, a second-generation ancestor who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, did not pass through such a big battle to teach a few unarmed civilians a lesson, but he did not dare to kill people. Therefore, he was confused at the time.
However, when he saw Li Mengjun being attacked by a masked killer in the courtyard, he felt a sense of courage that emerged from his heart. He rushed down quickly and hugged Li Mengjun and rolled aside, avoiding the other party's killer move.
Li Mengjun was hugged by Lu Lingfeng and rolled aside, and was shocked.
Lu Lingfeng was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said in her ear: "It's me, don't be afraid!"
Li Mengjun heard the familiar voice and glanced at Lu Lingfeng in black, masked, and was immediately surprised: "It's Lu Lingfeng, why are you here? Why are you dressed up like this!"
Of course, Lu Lingfeng would not foolishly admit that he was coming to peep, so he had to say perfunctorily: "It's a long story, let's deal with the situation in front of him first."
The member of the Seven Killings was also a little surprised when he saw the masked man in black who suddenly appeared. When he thought of the plan agreed upon by the organization in advance, the killer instantly eliminated his concerns and immediately slashed at Li Mengjun with his sword.
Li Mengjun was seriously injured. He was at the end of his strength and could not resist. He was about to lose his beauty. Lu Lingfeng could watch the woman he liked was hurt. In the flash of lightning, he subconsciously raised his arm to protect Li Mengjun.
However, the opponent's sword was extremely fierce and extremely cruel, and instantly cut off Lu Lingfeng's left arm.
Lu Lingfeng let out a shrill scream, and blood gushed out of his broken arm on the spot, and the hot blood splattered all over Li Mengjun's pretty face.
Li Mengjun, who has always been cold and arrogant, widened her beautiful eyes, and her heart was shocked. She would never have thought that Lu Lingfeng would be so desperate to save her life and fight with the killer. Moreover, this person was a playboy she looked down upon from the bottom of her heart, the second generation ancestor.
The blood was rolling, dyeing her moon-white robe red, and it even melted into Li Mengjun's heart. The door inside that was never touched by the opposite sex seemed to be pushed hard by someone with his hands.
After the black-clad killer cut off Lu Lingfeng's left arm, he did not hesitate at all, kicked him away with one kick, landed in the grass, and there was no sound.
Li Mengjun was stunned at this moment, watching Lu Lingfeng being kicked away, like a wounded lonely swallow, feeling sad inside.
