Villa backyard.

But I saw a man tied to a wooden stake, covered in blood.

Hidden from view, his body was covered with numerous wounds.

Only the face is still complete.

If someone familiar comes here and can barely identify him, this person is the king with a different surname who was high and powerful not long ago and controlled the highest power in Huai'an.

It's just that the prisoners below the steps are covered with bruises and are in such a miserable state that it's scary to see them.

"Can you still read?"

Liu He placed the imperial edict in front of him and said, "Shall I read it to you?"

Without waiting for King Chen to reply, Liu He continued to say: "King Chen You said that he planned to rebel and support his troops with self-respect. The evidence is conclusive. Now the family property will be confiscated and the three tribes will be destroyed!"

King Chen's eyes suddenly opened wide, and they were about to burst.

Liu He said again: "Zhuang's Trading Company saw through the rebels, defeated their plot, and made great contributions. Zhuang Ming, the 13th Mr. of Zhuang's Trading Company, was granted the title of Holy Dragon True Monarch. He held the first-level position and was rewarded with thousands of taels of silver and thousands of pieces of silk and satin.

, hundreds of jade beads.”

King Chen's breathing suddenly became much heavier.

Liu He looked indifferent and said: "As long as you tell me the news about the sacred stone and all the things you have concealed before, I can consider asking the emperor for orders in the name of Zhuang's Trading Company to avoid you being called a traitor and to protect you.

The three tribes will never be destroyed."

King Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I have said everything."

Liu He closed the imperial edict, turned around and left.

King Chen suddenly shouted angrily and said: "Stop!"

——

Three quarters of an hour later.

Liu He came to Zhuang Ming.

"How?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"It's a little more detailed than last time." Liu He responded.

"Where is King Chen?"

"died."

"Oh?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows.

"I said that in the name of Zhuang's Trading Company, I would protect his reputation and keep the three clans alive." Liu He looked as usual and said, "Later he realized that I couldn't represent Zhuang's Trading Company, and he was so angry... I gave him an advantage.

.”

——

The next day.

A long roar.

Shocking.

"Master of martial arts."

Zhuang Ming looked over, with a smile on his lips.

Immediately, I heard sounds coming from outside the courtyard.

"Sir, Lu He would like to see you."

"Come in."

"yes."

Lu He entered the courtyard, looking energetic and powerful.

Zhuang Ming chuckled softly and said: "The martial arts reached the top and the masters were strong. In the past martial arts, they were the most powerful in a generation. There was only one person in every generation. Even now in the Dongsheng Dynasty, where martial arts is prosperous, there are only ten people."

Lu He saluted and said: "It all depends on the cultivation of the young master and the teachings of the two masters Qian Yang and Yin Ming."

This time, with the thought of dying, he moved forward without hesitation.

Although the assassination of King Chen failed, he was determined and overcome the obstacles in his heart.

Originally his shoulders were pierced by King Chen, his bones were torn, his meridians were broken, his organs were even damaged, his arms were disabled, his life was in danger, and there was no hope of a breakthrough. But in the end, he got dragon saliva, healed his injuries, and his energy and blood improved further.

.

The Qi and blood are strong and the mind is firm.

Lu He, who was originally only half a step away from becoming a master, recovered from his injuries and naturally advanced to the third level of martial arts.

However, in the past, he might have been very complacent, feeling that he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts and the end of his power.

But after witnessing the divine power of the dragon with his own eyes, and seeing the grandmaster surnamed Lu being knocked down like an ant, he no longer had the expected aura.

Thinking of this, Lu He remembered something again and hurriedly said: "Senior Lu was seriously injured but not yet dead. He once entangled Master Qianyang, causing the Zhennan Army to surround and kill two adults. He deserves death. It's just that

, and later released Miss Shuang Ling..."

Zhuang Ming looked as usual and said: "It's because he is not very murderous, so I spared his life."

That day, the dragon caught him with one claw and should have crushed the martial arts master to death, but he threw it out anyway.

Although this martial arts master was able to survive mainly because of his strong vitality, it was also because he kept his hand.

"What do you mean, Master?"

"He originally served King Chen, but now he has died for King Chen. Now that he is reborn, I saved his life, and now his life is given to him by me."

"Lu He understands."

"Passing a message for me, he has two choices, either to commit suicide today and get his life back, or to keep his life, make a poisonous oath, swallow my poison pill, be controlled by me, and spend his whole life guarding Qian Yang and Yin Ming. Mausoleum."

"Yes, sir."

Lu He let out a breath. Originally, he had a murderous intention and wanted to take the other person's life directly, but because the two adults, Qian Yang and Yin Ming, had taught him a favor, he couldn't let it go.

However, when I heard that the young master wanted this person to swear an oath to guard the mausoleum in order to atone for his sins, I quite agreed with him.

According to the customs and habits of the Dongsheng Dynasty, those who were slaves when their masters were born were mostly the tomb-keepers after their masters died.

The identity of this grandmaster surnamed Lu will be the slave of Qian Yang and Yin Ming from now on.

"Bai Qing and Yueyang, how are they?"

Zhuang Ming exhaled and asked, "I went to see him last night, but I haven't woken up yet."

"Yue Yang is still unconscious, but his life is no longer in danger."

Lu He responded: "Bai Qing's life is not in danger. When he woke up this morning, he only had a broken arm and was in a low mood."

Zhuang Ming said softly: "Come with me to see him."

——

In the room.

Bai Qing sat on the bed, looking at the broken arm with a gloomy expression.

The door suddenly opened.

He looked up and saw his senior brother Lu He pushing Young Master Zhuang Ming in.

"Son."

Bai Qing was about to get up, but he just moved and sat down.

Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it, saying: "You are injured, please rest more."

Lu He's eyes fell on his broken arm, with a complicated look on his face.

Bai Qing showed a strange look, looked at Lu He, and suddenly said: "Brother, have you achieved success?"

At this moment, Lu He's momentum has not yet been restrained, his energy and blood are surging, and his vitality is extremely strong.

He walked into the room, and it seemed that even the room became three points hotter.

"It's done."

Lu He nodded.

Bai Qing showed a look of ecstasy, but instantly fell down again. He looked at his severed arm and smiled bitterly.

If this arm is cut off, Qi and blood will be blocked, and there will be no hope of becoming a master in this life.

"One day, you will recover."

Zhuang Ming said with a solemn expression.

Bai Qing was startled for a moment, then nodded heavily.

In the past, perhaps the young master would have just used words to comfort him.
