"It's okay. Fortunately, this period of time is targeted at nourishing yin. This second level is the highest level of Jade Crane Gong. It would take an ordinary person five years. I shortened the five years to such a short time. Naturally, it is better than the previous level." It’s a lot more burdensome to get started.”

He carefully felt the state of his body in his mind.

Although weak, he is much better than before.

It seems that his recuperation during this period is indeed effective.

call.

Take a long breath.

Lu Sheng felt that the circle of air in his chest and abdomen had grown from a thin stream of air as thick as a chopstick to nine.

The nine air currents combined together are much thicker than before.

When Jade Crane Technique reaches the second level, it feels obviously different than before.

As Lu Sheng breathed and breathed, he felt full of energy and his reactions were much faster than usual.

"According to the records of the second level Jade Crane Technique, it should have the effect of prolonging life and quickly stopping bleeding."

"Let's try to see the effect of internal energy tomorrow. Contact Duanmu Wan and see if we can get new internal energy from her."

Since the Jade Crane Skill is real, then the other internal skills may also be real. He wanted to see what the reaction would be if several internal skills were practiced together.

It stands to reason that as long as the internal strength is not of conflicting nature, it can be fused.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng lay down to rest again.

Just when he lay down, he heard faint footsteps outside the yard, as if someone was leaving.

Listening to the rhythm, it sounds very similar to the sound of gentle walking on the road.

Lu Sheng shook his head and ignored it. During this period, Lu Qingqing went out for a walk almost every now and then in the middle of the night.

I don’t know what clues were found.

At first, he followed carefully, but found that his footwork was far inferior to Lu Qing's. He lost track of him after a few moves, and then he stopped wasting energy.

Early the next morning, Lu Sheng took the banknotes he had prepared and went straight to the Wanfu Inn where Duanmuwan was staying.

"What? Checked out?"

Lu Sheng stared at the innkeeper and frowned.

"When did this happen?"

"About half a month ago, Miss Duanmu was invited by several young masters to go out of the city to visit the Honglian Temple. After that, she sent someone back to tell her to check out."

The shopkeeper is also very fond of Duan Muwan.

After all, this woman was naturally beautiful, and there were many young men who came to pursue her. She was also lavish in spending money, so she naturally left a deep impression on him.

"Red Lotus Temple"

Lu Sheng frowned.

He intuitively felt that Duanmuwan should not be in Honglian Temple.

Checking out suddenly is just an excuse.

"Forget it."

He waved the folding fan and walked out of the inn. Two guards were waiting outside the door.

"Sir, how are you? Have you found Miss Duanmu?" Guard Xiaosong is very close to Lu Sheng on weekdays. He is also the person who cleans the place for Lu Sheng when he practices martial arts, and occasionally even goes on the court for sparring. Martial arts are okay.

"No, she's gone." Lu Sheng shook his head.

"Then where are we going now?"

"Where to go? Back home."

Lu Sheng's secret book could not be found, and he felt a little unhappy.

The three of them got on the carriage and hurried all the way back to Lu Mansion. When they arrived in front of the mansion, they saw a yellow carriage parked at the gate.

There is a large character engraved on the side of the carriage.

"Zhang family?"

Lu Sheng's expression changed. The Zhang family had been killed for so long, and they finally came to their door.

He was not afraid and asked Xiaosong and others to leave while he walked through the door alone.

Looking in from the gate, I could just see Lu Quan'an in the lobby, accompanied by a martial artist, greeting the man from the Zhang family.

Only one person from the Zhang family came.

He has thick eyebrows and narrow eyes. He is a man in his thirties.

"How could my son do such a thing? The Zhang family must have seen it wrong!" Lu Quan was sitting on the main seat with a calm expression.

"Many people saw it with their own eyes! How can this be false?!"

The man's chest felt hot with anger.

"I don't care how powerful your Zhang family is in Zihua City, this is Jiulian City, not your Zihua!

Your Zhang family is great, and my Lu family is not a vegetarian either! If you frame me again, don't blame me for being rude! "

Lu Quan'an shouted coldly.

The man was shaking with rage.

Pointing at Lu Quan'an, he could no longer speak.

"Okay, okay!! Master Lu is so courageous. I will keep the original words intact and relay them to Master Songxi! Farewell!!"

He turned around and strode towards the door.

Lu Sheng met him halfway. This man didn't recognize Lu Sheng, so he walked out angrily.

Lu Sheng was not surprised. Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is weak and divided into various regions. Not to mention that this is far north. The city lords and local forces are local overlords.

Even in the Central Plains, most of the people like the Lu family were acting against the will and causing many troubles.

The Zhang family thought they were in Zihua City, but they actually came to ask for help.

The man passed by Lu Sheng, angrily got into the carriage and left.

Lu Sheng walked into the lobby and saw his father, Lu Quan'an, sitting on a chair with a dazed look on his face.

"Dad, are you done with your work?"

He whispered, signaling to the guards around him to go away so that he and his father could talk alone.

Lu Quanan sighed, and when he saw it was Lu Sheng, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Xiao Sheng, you have to take more care of your sister and don't let her wander around the city all the time."

"I can't control her." Lu Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Dad, have you found what we were asked to find? Are you looking for something or someone?"

"It could be an object or a person. I can't tell!"

Lu Quanan shook his head and lowered his voice.

"The prefect is now worried about the Xu family's case and the well-jumping case in Wangjiazhuang outside the city. Especially the well-jumping case, so many arrests can't find any clues. What can your sister do on her own? Let her stay at home. Stay."

"She went to investigate the Wangjiazhuang case?" Lu Sheng was stunned.

"You don't know? The head catcher of the Yamen has seen that girl Qingqing in Wangjiazhuang. She will catch two wanted criminals or suspects every three days and send them to the Yamen. Everyone in the Yamen almost knows her."

Lu Quan'an said helplessly.

"Is that so?" Lu Sheng frowned. "I've been busy collecting martial arts recently, and I didn't have time to care about her."

"Collecting martial arts. Your expenses have been close to five thousand taels. What was the result?" Lu Quan'an asked smoothly.

"I have collected several books. I will sort out all the books I get and build a scripture library at home. This will make it easier for our Lu family to train good practitioners in the future."

Lu Sheng said seriously.

"I can probably guess what you are thinking. We are in troubled times now. It is not enough for us to just rely on the dozens of people in our family. We also need to cultivate more masters belonging to our Lu family. This is why I hear you After collecting martial arts, I spare no effort to support him.”

Lu Quan'an said seriously.

"There are a total of eighty-six bodyguards in the family who can be mobilized at any time, but because they have to guard the mansion, only about forty of them can really be mobilized."

Lu Sheng did some calculations.

"These forty people are responsible for the safety of thirteen villages and sixteen shops outside our Lu family. They are simply not enough."

"As a father, I naturally know this, but it's hard to find such trustworthy people." Lu Quan'an sighed.

"What about adopting orphans? There are many street children outside and inside the city, right?" Lu Sheng suggested.

"After all, we have to consider the ideas of other companies."

Lu Quan'an hesitated.

"We don't have enough manpower, so why do we need to worry about other companies? Can't we develop in secret?" Lu Sheng said.

"This matter is a sensitive topic, and it can affect the whole body. If the other families find out, they will definitely accuse our Lu family of being ambitious and too eye-catching."

Lu Quan'an shook his head slightly.

Lu Sheng tried to persuade him a few more times, but it still didn't work.

He knew in his heart that Lu Quan'an no longer had the drive he had when he was young. At that time, he had nothing and no worries, so he acted decisively and responsibly, creating a huge Lu family business.

But now, looking forward and backward, hesitant.

Lu Sheng could tell that Lu Quan'an supported him in collecting martial arts because he wanted to expand.

But when it came time to start, he was hesitant and undecided.

After a few words, he stopped persuading and only mentioned some things about the health of his family members.

Then he resigned.

Lu Quan'an stood alone in the lobby, frowning, still hesitating.

But Lu Sheng no longer wanted to rely on this father.

In these troubled times, if you are not strong enough, you will sooner or later become a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

He left the lobby and continued to practice martial arts in the school grounds.

After reaching the peak of the second level of Jade Crane Kung Fu, he was full of energy throughout the day. Even if he was busy from morning to night, he did not feel too tired.

When I feel a little sleepy, sit down and rest for a while, and I will be full of energy again and can move for several hours at a time.

On the school grounds, he practiced sword practice until dusk.

Then I took a shower, covered in sweat, and rushed to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Lu Quan'an, Er Niang, and Lu Sheng were at one table, while the other relatives sat at another large table.

This is the rule.

Lu Quan'an is the head of the family, Lu Sheng is the future head of the family, and the second mother is in the past. Both Lu Quan'an and Lu Sheng were very close to her. She also manages the female family members and maids in the backyard.

These three people are the three with the highest status in the entire Lu family.

After that came Sanniang, Fourth Niang and Wu Niang, Lu Qingqing, Lu Yingying, Lu Chenxin and other family members.

Although the Lu family belongs to the first generation of nouveau riche, they still learn the same rules as other wealthy families in many ways.

Like eating without talking or sleeping without speaking, this is one of them.

The two large tables were eating, and there was only the occasional sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing, but there was really no sound at all.

"Xiaosheng."

Lu Quan'an, who rarely spoke at the dinner table, suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the whole family slowly stopped and listened to him. This is also etiquette. After all, unless it's something particularly important, she usually won't talk at the dinner table.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Lu Sheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Quan'an.

"You said that Jiuliancheng can no longer collect martial arts. Do you want to go to Yanshan City?"

Lu Quan'an said seriously.

"Yanshan City?"

Lu Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect that his father actually wanted him to leave Jiulian City.

"Yes." Lu Quan'an nodded. "There is an old friend of mine there. He mentioned in a letter a few days ago that there are famous masters from the Central Plains teaching skills in the city along the mountain. If you are willing, you can go there and maybe you can bring back one or two sets of real Central Plains products. Great martial arts."

Like the previous Qiongkong girl, I am also an old friend. Thank you for your support, thank you for your encouragement. The new book can be supported by so many people so quickly. It is really because of my good character, hahahaha~~~ Speaking of the number one Sansei Yuanchu Tiandi is a new face, thank you for your support.

In fact, friends who have read my books know that I am not someone who encourages everyone to give a lot of rewards. As long as you support collection, recommendation and subscription, it is the best support for me.

If it doesn’t work, then please support me by changing my job type~ Hehehehe, just search for ‘Author go away’.
