Chapter 255: The eldest brother hides, the third brother retires, and only the second brother is engaged in business

In the wilds of Yongzhou there are strange snakes, black with white markings, which kill all the plants and trees they touch. They bite people and no one can resist them.

As the third-ranked figure of the Hengshan Sword Sect, Lu Lianrong came to Yongzhou in person in order to completely conquer the Yunlong Sect here.

The disciples of this sect are good at using snake venom. The so-called Yunlong Sword Technique was created by their founder based on his observations of snakes.

The sword technique combines hardness and softness, with softness as the main feature and hardness within softness. Combined with the footwork, it is easy for people in the martial arts world who don't understand it to be fooled.

Lu Lianrong chose them for two reasons. The first was that this set of swordsmanship was different from the martial arts in the Central Plains, and it was a scarce resource for the Hengshan School at present.

The second reason is for the strange snakes in Yongzhou. Everyone in the Yunlong sect is an expert in catching and raising snakes. With their cooperation, wouldn’t these strange snakes be inexhaustible?
Of Lu Lianrong's five disciples, except for the youngest Lu Shiwei, the other four were all present.

Sitting opposite him was the fourth-generation leader of the Yunlong Sect, Wu Linglong.

At this moment, the beautiful woman was staring at Lu Lianrong with her almond-shaped eyes, angrily: "Lu Erxia is so calculating! He colluded with the government and bought all the land around our sect!"

"Ha ha."

Lu Lianrong was not ashamed but proud, and said with a smile: "Master Wu misunderstood, I just like this piece of land, and I didn't spend much money to buy it. But I don't like snakes, and I don't like people who play with snakes. I can only set up these fences to prevent your disciples from entering my territory."

Ever since Lao Lu got his nephew Ou Zanghua, many people in Hengyang wanted to establish relationships with him, and it became easy for him to make money.

If it weren't for the pressure from Mo Da above and the presence of Liu Zhengfeng, the real boss, he would not be able to float into the atmosphere.

Wu Linglong closed her eyes to calm herself down, then asked in a cold voice, "I don't understand, what is there in our small Yunlong Sect that is worth Mr. Lu's concern?"

"Life is nothing but fame and fortune."

Lu Lianrong naturally would not tell the other party his true purpose. He said calmly: "My senior brother is Xiaoxiang Yeyu, and my junior brother is Renxia. If I don't do something, people in the martial arts world will think that I am just a figurehead. This is not acceptable."

"Lu Erxia is known as the Golden-Eyed Crow in the martial arts world. Isn't this name loud enough?" Wu Linglong frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

Lu Lianrong's face darkened. He hated being called the Golden-eyed Crow the most. This Wu Linglong was just like a dung beetle going on a long journey - looking for shit!
He said coldly: "Humph! Sect Leader Wu should think about what kind of nickname you will get after you join our Hengshan Mountain."

Wu Linglong's expression turned cold, and the Yunlong Sect disciples behind her drew out their snake-shaped swords, showing no intention of surrendering.

However, Lu Lianrong smiled disdainfully. In addition to his own four major disciples, he also brought a hundred disciples from Hengshan's side sects, which was twice as many as the opposite side.

If he fights with real blood, he can defeat the opponent in one go.

But in this case, not only does Yunlong Sword Technique only have the secret manual but no one to teach it, but where can he find so many craftsmen who can catch and raise snakes?

So when he saw the anger of both sides reaching its peak, he stretched out his hand to calm them down and said, "Master Wu, in order to avoid casualties among our disciples, why don't we make friends through martial arts?"

"Best of three. If you win, I will leave immediately and give this land to Yunlong Sect as a gift of apology. If we win, Yunlong Sect will be merged into Hengshan Sect from now on. Of course, for the sake of fairness, no poison can be used. How about that?"

Wu Linglong clenched her teeth. It sounded like it was fair, but their Yunlong sword technique relied on the snake venom on the blade to kill people. As long as they could pierce the enemy's skin, they would win.

Now Lu Lianrong actually made such a request and kept saying that it was for fairness. It is simply shameless.

At this time, Lu Lianrong's third disciple Jiang Yuan squeezed in and whispered in the master's ear: "Master, just now Fifth Junior Brother sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Senior Brother Xiang has returned from the capital and brought back five carts of things. Uncle Liu sent someone to bring Master some mountain lion medicinal wine and a very precious plaster, and Master needs to go and get them in person."

"Is Master Xiang back?"

Lu Lianrong narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said loudly: "The things that Junior Brother Ou specially asked Junior Brother Xiang to send back must be rare in the world. But the things are there and will not run away, so there is no need to rush."

Wu Linglong naturally heard what Lu Lianrong said, and naturally knew who the nephew Ou he was talking about was.

A while ago, there were rumors that Ou Zanghua led 100,000 troops to defeat Liu Hui and Zhao Yan's 200,000 troops in Xiangyang. She didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to have 300,000 people fighting each other.

An old fox like Lu Lianrong has no other skills, but he is an expert at bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

He could tell at a glance that Wu Linglong was already a little timid, so he asked in an arrogant tone: "Master Wu, have you decided which expert to send for the first battle? I have to have dinner with Captain Long of Yongzhou Guard in a while!"

Wu Linglong looked at Lu Lianrong's proud expression, and after a while she said, "The Yunlong Sect can be merged into the Hengshan Sect, but I want to meet with Mr. Mo Da and Liu Renxia first!"

Lu Lianrong's smile froze. This was the scene he least wanted to see, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay. After the merging of the sects, I will take Sect Leader Wu to meet my brothers and sisters."

"No, I want to meet with Mr. Mo Da and Liu Renxia before merging with them. If you don't agree, Yunlong Sect will fight you to the death today rather than merge with you!" Wu Linglong said in a cold voice, and as if to cooperate with her resolute will, a poisonous snake with a pointed head and a triangular pattern on its back emerged from her sleeves, and it was spitting temper at Lu Lianrong.

This is the giant poisonous snake that the people of Yongzhou call the five-step snake. Legend has it that if you are bitten by it, you will die within five steps.

Lu Lianrong looked at the poisonous snake and had a bold idea in his mind: If he was bitten, would he be able to find a doctor to detoxify him by walking four steps and jumping one step?

Seeing Wu Linglong's insistence, Lu Lianrong didn't want to force her to fight him, so he said, "Okay! I'm going back to see Junior Brother Liu, so I'll take you with me."

"Mr. Lu, aren't you going to have dinner with Captain Long of Yongzhou Guard?" Wu Linglong asked with a sneer.

"Haha. Captain Long will understand me." Lu Lianrong said, and gave his eldest disciple Zhao Yanpeng a look.

Zhao Yanpeng nodded in understanding, quietly walked out of the crowd, and went to explain the situation to his uncle.

Afterwards, Wu Linglong brought four disciples from the Yunlong Sect and followed Lu Lianrong back to Hengshan County.

At dawn the next day, a group of people went to Liu's house to visit Liu Zhengfeng.

However, neither of them expected that Liu Zhengfeng had no interest in the affairs of the martial arts world. After giving Wu Linglong a gift, he politely declined the request for a meeting and asked them to go up the mountain to find Mo Da.

Wu Linglong stood at the door of Liu's house, holding a jar of wine given by Old Liu, and looked at Lu Lianrong with a half-smile.

After all this time, it turns out that you, Lu Erxia, can't even enter Liu Renxia's house!
With this kind of treatment, why are you pretending to be so arrogant in Yongzhou?
Lu Lianrong held the wooden box that Lao Liu had given him, his face turning pale and blue. He returned the box to Mi Weiyi in anger and said in a cold voice, "Since Junior Brother Liu doesn't welcome me, I can't take his things. See you another day!"

"Uncle Lu, these four..." Mi Weiyi was surprised. He had tried the Four Saints and Four Spirits Ointment before, and the effect was excellent.

For every martial artist, it is a rare treasure!
"Hmph, even if this is gold, I don't want it!" Lu Lianrong interrupted Mi Weiyi, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards Hengshan.

"Thank you for the gift, Liu Renxia. This is the detoxification pill made by our Yunlong sect. It is very effective in detoxifying snake venom. Please ask Young Master Mi to give it to Liu Renxia." Wu Linglong smiled, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to Mi Weiyi.

"This"

"Young Master Mi, this is called reciprocity." Wu Linglong waved her hand, and led her disciples to follow Lu Lianrong and head towards Hengshan.

Mi Weiyi looked at the small porcelain bottle, smiled and shook his head. After seeing Master Lu and his group walk away, he turned around and entered Liu's house.

At this moment, Old Liu and Qu Yang were hiding in the study playing chess and didn't dare to go out at all. As soon as he went out, he would be ridiculed by Madam Ouyang. Only by hiding here could he get some leisure time.

The reason why Lao Liu was so accommodating to his wife was not because he was henpecked, but because he felt that he had not done things well.

Qu Yang looked at Lao Liu's cowardly appearance and inexplicably thought of his deceased wife, but he found that he could no longer remember what his deceased wife looked like.

Suddenly, Qu Yang's expression became melancholy, and he said quietly: "I am so old, I feel sad about my life, my friends have all gone, how many are left? My hair is white and it hangs down for three thousand feet, I just smile at everything in the world."

Liu Zhengfeng looked at his best friend with some surprise, not understanding why he suddenly had such feelings.
