The moonlight was hazy. In a campsite a hundred miles away from Egret Valley, an old man and a middle-aged man were sitting facing each other next to a bonfire.

It was unknown what the two of them said, but the middle-aged man bowed towards the old man before turning around and disappearing into the moonlight.

At this time, a black shadow came to the old man's side, knelt on the ground and said, "Reporting to the general, everyone has searched all over Egret Valley but failed to find any trace of General Lu."

The old man nodded and waved his hand, signaling the black shadow to retreat.

Ye Xiao stared at the bonfire in front of him. His vision became blurry.

"Push, you shouldn't …"

The old man was Lu Shouhuang. Three days had passed since the incident in Egret Valley, so Lu Shouhuang woke up early.

The only thing he saw was the unconscious Lu Beiyou, who was covered in blood. The group of people searched through tens of thousands of corpses to find Lu Wang's figure. In a fit of rage, the three thousand black armored warriors used the corpses of the people present to whip their corpses in order to vent their anger.

After a long while, Lu Shouhuang shakily stood up and walked towards a tent not far away.

In the tent, there was only a simple bed, and the unconscious Lu Beiyou was currently lying on it.

Hearing that there were some movements in the tent, the ninth day immediately woke up and acted as a form of defense. Only after seeing that it was Lu Shouhuang, did he respectfully retreat to the side.

Lu Shouhuang smiled at her ninth level, extended his wrinkled and callused hand and rubbed her head.

"It's been hard on you these days."

The ninth day hurriedly shook his head, "This is my duty, and it is because I did not inform them in time that the head and the young master suffered this calamity."

Lu Shouhuang looked at Jiu Jiu, who had a guilty expression, and comforted, "You've already done very well. "You go out first, I'll talk to this brat."

walked over to the bedside and sat down. Seeing the pale and unconscious Lu Beiyou, the elderly man who was known for his iron blood finally couldn't hold back and cried out.

That night, five hundred black armors quietly returned to the Middle Continent under the cover of the night. The two thousand five hundred black armor sneaked into Liang Zhou.

"Have you heard? Two small cities in the southwest of Liangzhou have been massacred! "

"Not only that, I heard that many of the old and the weak survived, but the rest of the people were brutally killed, and the Mayor was even whittled down and hung on the city wall. That scene, hiss!"

"That's right, that's right. Furthermore, such a big thing has happened, yet the Liangzhou Liangzhou King has not made a sound."

"You don't know? I don't know what happened to that fat rat's body. It has been hanging on the walls of our Ming Yuan City for several days already."

"Is the Lu Family going to fight against the Liangzhou?"

"Shh!" You can't just casually say such things. If you're not careful, you might even lose your head! "

Primary City, the capital with the most bustling Middle Continent, was also where the Lu Family resided. At this moment, the streets and alleys were all discussing about the recent events that had occurred on the Liang Prefecture.

Two small cities were massacred, and Wang Huan, who was in charge of the Crown Prince of Liangzhou, was hung on the city walls of Yuan Ming city. At that moment, the news of the battle spread far and wide, causing everyone to panic. And as the only power Lu Family at the peak of the Middle Continent, to this day, there was still no news about it.

While everyone was discussing amongst themselves, in a quiet little courtyard deep in the Lu Family, Lu Beiyou sat at a stone table under a tree and played chess with Lu Shouhuang. The two of them did not say a word.

Losing 42, Lu Shouhuang lost.

Landing the thirty-seven, Lu Shouhuang was defeated.

Losing forty-five, Lu Shouhuang lost.

Although Lu Shouhuang kept on losing, his face was full of smiles, and dropped the chess piece in his hand.

"In a few days, you will be able to recognize your ancestors and return home. In these few days, you will have to take care of your health and recuperation." With that, he stood up from the stone block and walked away with a smile.

Lu Beiyou expressionlessly started to pack up the chess pieces, and on his ninth day of school, he walked out from the back of the house to gently massage his shoulders.

"Young master, do you have something on your mind? Why does it look so glum? "

Hearing the worry on her face for the ninth time, Lu Beiyou clapped her hands while smiling.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about Lao Kong and the ball. I wonder how they are doing now?"

"The ninth day of the new year." She lightly rubbed at Lu Beiyou's temples with her slender finger, "Don't worry, with how strong Young Mistress is, she will definitely be safe and sound. "On the ninth day of the new year, I will go with the young master to fetch Young Mistress."

Lu Beiyou smiled and nodded. Three days ago, Lu Beiyou woke up from his coma and opened his eyes to find himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

Seeing that Lu Beiyou had woken up, the ninth ranker hugged him and cried for a long time.

Waiting until the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm gradually stabilized, Lu Beiyou found out that Lu Shouhuang had brought back Lu Family.

After that, Lu Shouhuang came to the room and saw Lu Beiyou waking up, he laughed and said hello three times, then turned and left, from time to time he would come to the courtyard to play chess with Lu Beiyou.

These few times, Lu Beiyou finally stopped holding back and turned Lu Shouhuang upside down. But the more the old man was like this, the happier he was.

But when Lu Beiyou thought about how he would be able to return to his clan in the next few days, he couldn't help but frown.

Although he had returned to the Lu Family, his safety was guaranteed.

However, no one knew his condition better than himself. His meridians were all broken, his body was hollowed out, his cultivation base was crippled, and his skeleton was broken. He could barely stand up for some reason. However, every time he made a violent move, his entire body would be in unbearable pain.

As a result, Lu Beiyou rarely left the courtyard.

He was just drinking tea and playing chess with the ninth day in the courtyard. Of course, there was another guy he knew. He didn't expect to meet him here.

"Little guy, little guy, this old man is here to drink with you again. This time, I brought some good wine from the Lion Restaurant. Rumor has it that this was personally made by the Courtesan Belle of the Lion Restaurant. It's absolutely good stuff!" I also brought you something good. "

A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts while he was thinking.

He saw an extremely beautiful barefooted man climbing over a wall and arriving at Lu Beiyou's courtyard. It was the beautiful man that Lu Shouhuang had invited over to protect him.

The second day after Lu Beiyou woke up, he saw the man who was secretly drinking in the courtyard. The two stared at each other for a long time before Lu Beiyou knew that this man was called Du Xiaokang.

The two of them could be considered to be friends from the start, since Du Xiaokang had nothing better to do, so he brought all kinds of good wine over to savor together with Lu Beiyou.

But when he heard Du Xiaokang's voice on his ninth day of school, his face had a look of disgust and evil as he said, "Why are you here to drink with young master again? Don't you know that young master's health is not good?"

Du Xiaokang jumped down from the wall, patted his sleeves and laughed: "Don't worry little girl, this time I'm not only looking for your young master to drink, I brought something good with me."

As he was about to continue speaking, Lu Beiyou lightly patted his waist and said softly, "Jiu'er, go warm a pot of tea for me."

Junior Nine looked at Du Xiaokang with dissatisfaction, but after hearing what Lu Beiyou said, he merely snorted coldly and turned to walk back into the house.

Du Xiaokang could not help but exclaim, "This woman is really a tiger!"

Lu Beiyou smiled as he shook his head without saying a word, and only said softly: "You said that you brought a good thing for me? What is it? "
