"How could this matter be linked to the Lu family? Guo Shanfeng himself is a wanted criminal who has killed countless people. He lives alone. The Wang family and the Lu family are not on good terms, but we can't blame the Lu family for the death of someone in their family, right? Maybe the Wang family offended someone, or maybe Wang Haofei offended Guo Shanfeng himself, or maybe Guo Shanfeng was tempted by money, that's also possible!"
"That's true, but there's a catch!"
"What joint?"
"At this point, I'm not afraid that you will know about it!" Lu Pei'en shook his head and smiled bitterly. If Yan Liqiang was just an ordinary teenager, it wouldn't matter if he didn't tell Yan Liqiang about this. But Yan Liqiang is so smart. The Wang and Lu families have made such a big fuss about this matter. If he doesn't tell Yan Liqiang now, he might create many misunderstandings and grudges when he finds out in the future. It's better to make it clear now. This is also one of the reasons why he came to Pingxi City. "This matter is also related to Bei Xin!"
"How is it related to Miss Lu again?" Yan Liqiang asked knowingly, but in his heart, he had instantly understood all the connections.
"Beixin also studied at the National Martial Arts Museum before, and met Wang Haofei. Then, she had some contact with Wang Haofei behind her family's back. Li Qiang, you don't have to think too much about it. Although Beixin was dating Wang Haofei, she always abided by the rules and did not do anything beyond the law. The world can testify to this..."
"Well, I have met Miss Nine. She is indeed a sensible person who knows the rules. I also believe that Miss Nine would not do anything beyond the limit. Miss Nine is dating that Wang Haofei. I guess it is probably Wang Haofei who took the initiative. It is possible that his purpose is not pure..."
"Yes, that's right!" Lu Pei'en slapped his thigh, "But the old man still found out about this. He was very angry. When the martial arts school started in September, he confined Bei Xin to her home and punished her to reflect on her mistakes. He also told her not to have any contact with that Wang from now on. But Wang Haofei didn't know that when he was killed by Guo Shanfeng that night, he was waiting for Bei Xin on the island and wanted to meet her. As luck would have it, Guo Shanfeng killed him that night. What do you think the people in the Wang family will think?"
The Wang family and the Lu family were originally sworn enemies in Huanglong County. A man from the Wang family seduced a woman from the Lu family, and then he was killed at the place where he and the woman from the Lu family agreed to meet. Unfortunately, the place where the two agreed to meet was very secret. Apart from the two parties involved, other people knew very little about it. What do you think the people from the Wang family would think...
"This is indeed not easy to explain!"
"It's not easy to explain. Our Lu family in Huanglong County didn't fear the Wang family at all. The worst that could happen is that we can just fight back. If we want to fight to the death, we have plenty of people in the Lu family who can fight to the death. It's just that our Lu family has been blamed for this matter, which is really unfair and not worth it. If the Wang family retaliates for this matter, it is inevitable that some of the younger generations of the Lu family will be harmed. Even if we can retaliate back, a big fight is inevitable. Now in Huanglong County, the atmosphere between the Wang family and the Lu family has become very tense because of this. The children of our Lu family have become more cautious when going out, for fear of being retaliated by the Wang family..." Lu Payen said with a frown.
"I wonder how Mr. Lu plans to deal with this?"
"Mr. Lu didn't want to go to war with the Wang family for no reason, so he personally wrote a letter to the old man of the Wang family. But the messenger said that the old man of the Wang family didn't even read the letter and threw it into the brazier where paper money was burned for Wang Haofei..."
"The Wang family won't give up!"
"Well, Wang Haofei has always been regarded by the Wang family as the most outstanding one among the younger generation of the Wang family. He may inherit the position of the head of the Wang family in the future. He died just like that. Of course, the Wang family will not let it go!"
"So what are the Wang family's plans now?"
"Of course, we are eager to fight, and we are already inviting people to help us!"
"If there's anything I can do for you, Master Liu, just let me know!"
Lu Peien laughed, with a hint of pride in his tone, "Li Qiang, just concentrate on studying at the National Martial Arts Hall. Although our Lu family doesn't want to be involved in this matter and fight to the death with the Wang family, we will never let the Wang family bully us. If the Wang family can invite people, then our Lu family can naturally do the same. Anyway, our Lu family and the Wang family have fought more than once in these years. By the way, although Wang Haofei of the Wang family was not killed by our Lu family, that Wang Haofei really deserves to die. I'm afraid that person approached Bei Xin with no good intentions. I came to the National Martial Arts Hall this time to find two familiar masters in the hall. I want to know if Wang Haofei has any enemies or offended anyone in the National Martial Arts Hall, and if anyone has set a trap for our Lu family in this matter to make our Lu family and the Wang family fight..."
"How is the result?"
"I heard that Wang Haofei is only close to the son of the county governor. He rarely appears in the martial arts hall and has not offended anyone."
"Don't worry, Sixth Master. I also know a few friends in the National Martial Arts Museum. I will pay more attention to it and ask a few friends to pay attention to it. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately!"
"Okay!" Lu Peien nodded, looked at Yan Liqiang again, and then laughed, "Liqiang, if you don't mind, don't call me Sixth Master anymore. Just like Beixin, just call me Sixth Brother. Sixth Master, Sixth Master, you're making me sound old!"
If Yan Liqiang and Lu Beixin succeed in this, then he will have to call Lu Peien "Sixth Brother". The fact that Lu Peien asked Yan Liqiang to change his words at this time also shows that he recognizes Yan Liqiang and he almost regards Yan Liqiang as his brother-in-law.
"Li Qiang greets Sixth Brother!" Yan Li Qiang stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu Pein.
Lu Pei'en smiled, and quickly helped Yan Liqiang up, then took out a short sword from his body and handed it to Yan Liqiang, "I didn't prepare anything when I came to Pingxi City this time. This short sword was found by chance a few years ago. I named it Black Scale. I heard that it was refined by a master using a strange fire. I'm giving it to you today, Liqiang!"
Strange fire? This was the second time Yan Liqiang had heard of this term. The first time he heard of it was in the Sword God Sect. There was a kind of strange fire inside the Tianqiao Peak of the Sword God Sect.
Yan Liqiang did not refuse, but took the dagger handed over by Lu Peien and pulled it out in one go.
The scabbard and hilt of the dagger were made of ordinary wood, with only the guard and the pommel being made of iron. There were no patterns on them and it looked plain and unpretentious. When Yan Liqiang pulled out the sword, he was slightly stunned when he saw the black and unprepossessing blade.
Lu Pei'en next to him smiled slightly, took a pair of chopsticks from the table, and without using much force, he just tapped the sword blade lightly with the chopsticks, and the pair of chopsticks broke into two pieces in the middle.
The sharpness of this dagger is simply unimaginable.
"Ah..." Yan Liqiang exclaimed slightly.
"I heard that these things refined by strange fire can attract the spiritual energy between heaven and earth during the refining process, allowing the spiritual energy between the weather to participate in the tempering, so the things refined by these strange fires have extraordinary quality!"
"Sixth brother, this is really too precious!"
"This thing won't do much for me. I'm not a warrior. If the Lu family ever needs someone like me to draw a sword and fight, the Lu family will be broke. Li Qiang, you have a bright future. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. It's just right for you to keep this dagger!"
"Thank you very much, Sixth Brother!" Yan Liqiang put away the dagger in his hand, "I wonder what that strange fire is?"
"What is a strange fire? I have never seen it, and I don't know much about it. I just heard that the strange fire seems to be a strange thing born in the world. It is the most powerful to use it to refine ore and create tools. In addition, things forged with strange fire will have some magical properties. When you advance to a warrior in the future, Li Qiang, and come into contact with more people, you should be able to understand..."
"Um… "
…
After the meal, Lu Pein drove away, but before leaving, he told Yan Liqiang to visit Lujiazhuang when he had time.
After bidding farewell to Lu Pein, Yan Liqiang walked towards Kowloon Bridge, carrying the black-scaled dagger.
On the way, Yan Liqiang thought about Wang Haofei and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he killed Wang Haofei in advance, changed history, and resolved his crisis. However, Wang Haofei's death intensified the conflict between the Lu family and the Wang family. This matter went around in a circle and was indirectly related to him. This is really unpredictable...
…
Yan Liqiang stayed in the house he rented near Jiulong Bridge for two consecutive days. During the day, he either wandered around like nothing happened, strolled around, observed, and bought some things, or practiced the Yijing Xisuijing in the house. At night, he often went out and came back very late. It was not until two days later, on the third day, the night of October 30, that the opportunity Yan Liqiang had been waiting for finally came...
