Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 741 Sisters Killing Each Other I Love Watching

When one of the assassins heard him insulting the Lu family's sword master, he shouted loudly and chopped down with his knife. Old Xu's body swayed, and the rest of the people didn't even see how he attacked. The knife cut into the man's neck, separating his head and body. The sword flashed again, and after the head, the limbs were also cut off.

The remaining warriors knew that there was a huge gap between them and Lao Xu, but no one backed down. As warriors, they had already put life and death aside, and everything they did was just to protect the interests of the family that supported them.

Lu Baijie waved his hand to stop the eager assassins and looked at the groom with a serious face. As a swordsman of the Mystical Sword, he could of course see that this groom with thick skin, dense crow's feet at the corners of his eyes like forest leaves and an indifferent look on his face was stronger than him. In terms of speed, the strong celestial being was probably no more than him.

Lu Dongyang quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Lin, don't be angry. Xu Zhihu has ruined the reputation of the Lu family. The second master has long been dissatisfied with her. This marriage was arranged by the first master. The second lady has already told a close lady in the palace about this matter. I hope she can talk to the emperor and see if the emperor can give the master some advice to divorce Xu Zhihu. Please understand, not all people in the Lu family are from the Xu family."

Chu Pingsheng said: "If I'm not mistaken, the lady who was close to your second wife has been banished to the cold palace by Zhao Chun."

Lu Dongyang looked stunned.

"What Xu Xiao did on Laoshan Island helped restore the reputation of the royal family. At least on the surface, he was in the same boat with Zhao Chun. Even if there was no such condition, the lady in the palace got involved in the struggle between the royal family and Beiliang. Do you think she would have a good ending? Do you think Lu Daolin could decide alone for the Lu family to marry Xu Zhihu, who killed two men?"

Chu Pingsheng flicked his fingers, and Old Xu went over and grabbed Xu Zhihu's hair, dragged him in front of Chu Pingsheng, and stepped on him. Xu Weixiong struggled, his hands and feet flailing, but Huanggua glared at him and he was so scared that he dared not move.

"As the eldest daughter of King Beiliang, under normal circumstances, what kind of husband would be worthy of her? Of course, a prince of equal status would be a good match, but who were her first two husbands? An unknown general, and a son of an aristocratic family. Both of them died after Xu Zhihu married them. Is she unlucky? Ha..."

Chu Pingsheng kicked over and gave Xu Zhihu a face full of footprints: "Bitch! You are really a good tool for Xu Xiao. I believe Zhao Chun must have thought about arranging a marriage between Xu Zhihu and one of his sons. This would be equivalent to giving the Beiliang Xu family the honor of being a royal relative. We are all family now, so we should think about the hereditary succession of the Beiliang King."

"Xu Xiao hastily found a husband for his daughter, and killed two cheap sons-in-law in succession. A widow like her who kills her husband can't marry into the royal family again, right? Then the emperor came up with another plan to marry Princess Suizhu to Xu Fengnian. As a result, the lawless playboy who had feasted and enjoyed himself when Zhao Li passed away simply disappeared and went out to travel."

"Is Xu Zhihu's move useless? Of course not. How could Li Yishan have any useless chess pieces? The four great families in Jiangnan, Huting Lu, Jiangxin Yu, Bozhen Yuan, and Gumu Xu, are intertwined and have deep marriage relationships. Many of their children are in the officialdom. Lu Daolin is the chief priest of the Imperial College. The empress who was banished to the cold palace I mentioned must be from the Gumu Xu family. For the Beiliang Xu family, as long as they infiltrate one of them, they can enhance the influence of the Beiliang Xu family in the civil service group controlled by the aristocratic families and radiate the tentacles of the Beiliang Xu family to Jiangnan."

"Lu Daolin also wanted to double-bet between the Zhao family and the Xu family to leave a way out for the Lu family. After all, the four great families in Jiangnan are all descendants of important officials of the previous dynasty, so it is normal for them to be suspected by the Zhao family in Liyang. But he did not dare to completely bind himself to Beiliang, so he let Lu Xuanlang's son marry Xu Zhihu, and then let Li Yishan send assassins from the Fushuifang to kill him. In this way, Xu Zhihu would have no descendants of his own, and would not be vulnerable, so his heart would always be on his natal side. In Zhao Chun's view, the in-laws of the Xu and Lu families were only maintained by a widow, and were not reliable."

"On the one hand, Zhao Chun needed the four clans to stabilize the base in Jiangnan. On the other hand, he wanted Lu Daolin, who was related to the Xu family by marriage, to act as a middleman and communication channel when the royal family and Beiliang had conflicts. So Lu Daolin was appointed as the chief priest of the Imperial Academy, a position with high rank and prestige but without great power. The three parties reached a delicate balance on this matter."

Lu Baijie and Lu Dongyang looked at each other in bewilderment. Xu Weixiong collapsed on the ground. The longer she acted like a dog beside Lin Qing, the more frightened and panicked she became.

This guy's various behaviors seem crazy and willful, which is hard to understand. However, if someone really thinks he is a fool who can be fooled, they will pay a heavy price. It is not scary to have extraordinary knowledge, martial arts, and wisdom. What is scary is the combination of these three, plus a lawless, capricious temperament. That is really a disaster for those in power.

"Lu Xuanlang, are you tired after listening for so long while leaning on the wall?" Chu Pingsheng threw a small stone and a scream rang out from the yard behind: "This is about whether the Hu Ting Lu family will be exterminated or not, so come in and listen."

Soon, the small door leading to the backyard opened, and a fifty-year-old man with his hands covering his temples and bleeding walked in. He looked very sad, probably because his son died strangely and he had been living a hard life in recent years. However, his Confucian robe was very new, probably the first time he had worn it.

"Xu Xiao sent someone to plot against your son, Lu Daolin sacrificed his nephew for the future of the Lu family, and Zhao Chun banished your wife's sisters to the cold palace. Lu Xuanlang, do you want to take revenge on them?"

Lu Xuanlang remained silent. As a semi-sage scholar in Jiangnan, he debated with many great people when he was young, including Zhang Julu, the current Prime Minister of Liyang. However, after listening to the words of this young man from the Qing Party, whom he had despised in the past, through the wall, he suddenly realized that he was just an insignificant little shrimp who could be sacrificed at any time.

"I'll give you two choices. First, Old Xu kills all the members of the Lu family. Second, take the Lu family's assassins and massacre the government officials in Yangchun City. Then, I'll raise the flag of rebellion tomorrow."

"rebel?"

Lu Xuanlang's sweat mixed with blood flowed down, and the housekeeper was also frightened and sat down on the ground.

Chu Pingsheng said: "That's right, rebellion! Just like the Wang family of Laoshan Island." "But the Wang family..."

"Then I came here to collect some interest from the Wang family, except for Xu Zhihu, the bitch..." Chu Pingsheng stepped on Xu Zhihu's head and crushed it in the mud: "Today you will also see a land immortal from Beiliang being buried with the people of Laoshan Island." He paused and said: "How about this, Liyang sends troops to wipe out the Lu family, and you can die without worry. I will let Guangling King Zhao Yi and his 50,000 soldiers and horses, Yan Ci King Zhao Bing and his 100,000 elite cavalry be buried with your Huting Lu family. How about this treatment?"

After hearing his words, Wang Chudong thought of the Beiliang soldiers on Laoshan Island and felt a chill down his spine.

The audience was silent.

Others raised the banner of rebellion and instigated prominent families to rebel by promising huge sums of money, great profits and great power, but it was completely different with him. He promised burial objects and human sacrifices.

This is truly unique in the world. Huanggua thought that he was worthy of being the person he wanted to warm his bed with. He always had a lot of new ideas in his mind, which was very exciting.

The two titles of King Guangling Zhao Yi and King Yan Ci Zhao Bing awakened Lu Baijie. Thinking that Lin Qing, who had lost Laoshan Island, was left with only a commander and a few maids, it was impossible for him to be an enemy of Li Yang, he was worried that Lu Xuanlang would be bewitched, so he drew his Baxiu sword and took the opportunity when Old Xu was dazed by his master's words, and swung the sword, causing a splash of water in the urn used to water the flower garden, which turned into countless tiny water swords, and stabbed at the man on the short couch who was spreading rumors to gain favor.

Chu Pingsheng slapped out with his palm, and a strong wind blew, blowing away all the small water swords that were stabbed out by the Ba Xiu sword. He turned his hand again and flicked his index finger. With a crisp sound, the Ba Xiu sword shook, and Lu Baijie's wrist was broken. The sword turned upside down and pierced into his throat with a "puff", carrying Lu Baijie's body away and nailed to the crossbeam of the Aquarius Gate. Like a hanged ghost, blood dripped down the sword.

Lu Dongyang and those assassins were all scared. Lu Baijie was known as the Tangxi Sword Immortal. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the strongest man in Huting County. According to the path that Lu Daolin arranged for this Lu family's most talented martial artist, he would serve in the army once his skills improved. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it would not be difficult for him to become a Vice Minister or Minister of the Ministry of War in the future. But now, just because he said a few words to Xu Zhihu, he died so cleanly?

Moreover, the death was so tragic and so quick. In the blink of an eye, the person was hanging on the wall.

Lin Qing killed the Black Sword Immortal, was it as easy as crushing an ant? !

"So this is actually a question of dying sooner or later. Lu Xuanlang, you should think about it carefully. Do you want to destroy the Lu family and make a sensation in Liyang, so that old Zhao Chun can't sleep well, and then ask for Lu Daolin's head thousands of miles away to avenge him for using your son as a pawn? Or do you want to die without any achievements like Lu Baijie? I want you to give me an answer by tomorrow at the latest."

After Chu Pingsheng finished speaking, she ignored him, grabbed Xu Zhihu's hair and lifted her face out of the mud, and hooked her finger at Xu Weixiong. Although she was reluctant, she still moved closer little by little and looked into her elder sister's eyes.

"Come, help her wash the mud off her face."

Xu Weixiong was silent for a moment, then he took the water scoop handed to him by Huanggua and the handkerchief found on Erqiao's body, and wiped Xu Zhihu's face with the water.

The sisters looked at each other. Xu Zhihu looked at the rope and the bell, and then thought about her second sister who had a strong aura and even scared Xu Xiao. The anger in her eyes grew stronger and stronger, and finally she pushed the person down.

"Why did you become like this? Why did you become like this?!"

She didn't know any martial arts and was beaten up by Chu Pingsheng. She was so emotional that her body was shaking and she kept coughing.

"Why did she become like this? Good question."

Chu Pingsheng said, "Because if she doesn't do this, Xu Fengnian will have to die, and it will not be a good death. She has watched the performance of Lingchi Yao Jian many times, and she has seen the end of Blue Bird and Sweet Potato. The human skin blanket I made with Ye Xizhen was handed to Li Yishan by Sister Fan. If she doesn't do this, Xu Fengnian will experience the same fate as these people. Since you all love this brother so much, come on, let me see how deep your love for him is, start by slapping each other in the face for half an hour."

Xu Zhihu glared fiercely, her face full of unyielding, and her angry look was a bit like her mother Wu Su. However, this situation soon ended. A loud slap was heard on her face, very hard, and five big red fingerprints were clearly imprinted on her face.

She covered her beaten left cheek and looked in disbelief at Xu Weixiong, whose face showed reluctance but eyes were fierce.
