Chapter 302 Lu Family Manor

Cheng Ying smiled and said, "I guess he must be following his master and mistress. Wushuang is smart and clever, much better than the big and small Wu and Fumei.

The last time I saw her, she had become Master's wife's right-hand man. Master's wife often said that Fumei was a big fool, but she liked Wushuang very much and said that Wushuang had her style.

Now Wushuang is Miss Lu, who is respected by everyone in the Beggars' Sect. When Brother Yang sees her, he will definitely be shocked."

Xin Zhen was quite relieved to hear that Lu Wushuang was living a good life. Although he didn't like Lu Wushuang's personality very much, sometimes when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Lu Wushuang was also worthy of sympathy.

Her family encountered misfortune when she was very young, and she was then held hostage by enemies for many years. She had to hide herself every day at a young age. It was natural for her to develop a peculiar character growing up in such an environment, but it was not that she was born that way.

Cheng Ying then asked about Xin Zhen's experiences in the past few years. Xin Zhen naturally did not hide anything and told her about what had happened in the past few years one by one. The wonderful parts of the stories made the calm Cheng Ying couldn't help but praise him endlessly.

They were sitting in the front of the car and chatting, and Xiaolongnu and Wanyan Ping in the back could naturally hear them clearly. They were fascinated as they listened to Xin Zhen's account of the trip to Zhongnan Mountain.

Wanyan Ping felt like she was listening to a novel. Just imagine, a child of twelve or thirteen years old broke the Quanzhen Sect's sword formation, scared away Huodu with one move, and seriously injured a foreign monk with one move.

He then innovated the Quanzhen sword technique, defeated a group of predecessors in a competition and won first place. Later, he impressed everyone in Chongyang Palace at the Grand Lecture and took over the teaching of four generations of disciples of the Changchun lineage. How could a child do this?

But then she remembered how Xin Zhen killed Huo Du with one move, and she could understand it immediately.

But it was precisely because of this that Wanyan Ping was very excited. She was basically certain that Xin Zhen was an unparalleled master!
Unlike the other two women, Cheng Ying was chatting with Xin Zhen the whole time. Wanyan Ping was surprised at Xin Zhen's martial arts. Xiaolongnu was sitting quietly with no expression on her face. She still looked cold, which made Wanyan Ping dare not speak along the way.

Although the Guniu was slow, it had great endurance. After a few days, the group finally arrived at Dashengguan in the evening.

Dashengguan is a strategic pass between Henan and Hubei. Although it has a strategic location, the market is not prosperous. The area to the north of it is occupied by Mongolian soldiers.

Xin Zhen did not know the exact address of the Heroes Conference. Fortunately, there were many Beggars' Gang members in Dasheng Pass, so Xin Zhen did not need to ask much. They came up to him and asked. When they learned that they were disciples of Quanzhen Sect, the Beggars' Gang quickly arranged for a disciple to lead Xin Zhen and his companions.

The Beggar Gang disciple who led Xin Zhen and others was called Wang Shisan. Wang Shisan led Yang Guo across the town.

In addition to the Beggars' Sect members, there were also many martial arts figures along the way, some riding horses and some walking. I think they were all going to the heroes' banquet.

After walking about seven or eight miles, we saw a large manor surrounded by hundreds of ancient locust trees in front of us, and many heroic men were walking towards the manor.

There are so many houses in the village, stacked one on top of the other, that it is hard to tell how many there are. It seems like it is more than enough to accommodate thousands of guests.

Wang Shisan asked Xin Zhen if he wanted to live with the Quanzhen Sect members. Xin Zhen looked at Xiao Longnu, Cheng Ying and the other two, shook his head and said, "Can you arrange a separate room for us? It's not convenient for me to stay here."

Wang Shisan glanced at the three women, his eyes revealing a hint of envy. Xin Zhen naturally understood what the little beggar meant: You kid have something.

Xin Zhen just smiled and was not angry about it. On the contrary, he still had some vanity that a man should have.

Wang Shisan arranged accommodation for Xin Zhen and his friends, and then went to talk to his friends.

Xin Zhen saw that the manor was very grand and that there was an endless stream of farmhands coming and going to entertain guests. He praised it inwardly. If he remembered correctly, this was Lujia Manor.

Lujia Manor was originally located on the edge of Taihu Lake. The manor was called "Guiyun Manor" and its owner was Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng is a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, one of the six disciples of Huang Yaoshi in the early days, and ranked fourth. Because Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng stole Huang Yaoshi's "Nine Yin Manuals" and betrayed their master, Lu Chengfeng and other brothers were implicated, and his legs were broken by the master and he was expelled from the master's sect.

After being driven out of Peach Blossom Island, Lu Chengfeng settled down by the Taihu Lake and called himself "The Waste Man of the Five Lakes".

Lu Chengfeng has a son named Lu Guanying, who is a disciple of Master Ku Mu of the Xianxia Sect, a branch of the Shaolin Sect.

Lu Guanying was the leader of a group of bandits from Taihu Lake. He once captured Wanyan Kang, a young prince of the Jin Dynasty, alive in Taihu Lake, and thus brought revenge upon Mei Chaofeng.

For Lujiazhuang, this should have been a disaster, but because of the arrival of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, Huang Yaoshi was attracted, not only did it not cause a blood disaster, but it allowed Lu Chengfeng to get his wish and return to his master.

Since then, Lu Guanying knew that his father possessed superb martial arts and also became a disciple of the Peach Blossom Island sect.

Later, in Niujia Village, under the auspices of Huang Yaoshi, Lu Guanying married Cheng Yaojia, a disciple of Quanzhen Sect's Qingjing Sanren Sun Buer.

Later, Huang Rong was captured alive by Ouyang Feng, who led her to Guiyun Manor. She escaped with the help of the manor's Qimen Five Elements arrangement, but the manor was also burned down by Ouyang Feng.

Lu Chengfeng was not at home at the time. When he returned home, he saw the mess on the ground and was so angry that he told his son Lu Guanying to stop being the leader of the Taihu bandits. He moved his family north and settled in Dashengguan.

Lu Chengfeng should have passed away at this time, and Lu Guanying became the owner of Lujia Manor. He and his wife Cheng Yaojia heard that Guo Jing and Huang Rong were going to hold a heroes' conference and invite heroes from all over the world to discuss how to resist the Mongolian army, so they volunteered to take out a large amount of money to hold the conference in their own Lujia Manor.

Suddenly, three blasts of bugle calls were heard, and drummers and musicians started playing music.

Someone said, "The owner and his wife are here to welcome the guests. Let's go and take a look. I wonder which hero has arrived?"

It really confirmed what Xin Zhen thought.

But I saw the receptionist and the farmhands lined up in two rows.

Everyone stepped aside.

A man and a woman walked out side by side from behind the screen in the hall. Both were about forty years old. The man was wearing a brocade robe, with a slight beard on his chin, and he looked dignified and majestic. The woman had fair skin and was well-mannered, like a noble lady.

Xin Zhen didn't know these two people, but he thought they should be Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia.

Sure enough, the guests were heard whispering, "Master Lu and Madam Lu are going out to welcome the distinguished guest personally."

After the two of them was another couple. Xin Zhen took a look and found that they were Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

After not seeing each other for several years, Guo Jing looked more calm and composed, while Huang Rong smiled, still as beautiful as before.

Guo Jing wore a coarse cloth robe, and Huang Rong wore a lavender silk shirt. Since she was the leader of the Beggars' Sect, she could only sew a few patches on her shirt in inconspicuous places.

Behind Jing Rong were Guo Fu and the Wu brothers. Xin Zhen also saw Lu Wushuang, who had a pretty face but not very fair skin. Xin Zhen took a closer look and found that Lu Wushuang walked normally and was not lame. It seemed that his treatment had been quite effective.

At this time, countless bright red candles were lit in the hall. In the candlelight, one could see the handsome and majestic men and the pretty and delicate women.
