Chapter 317 The Noble of the Liu Family Asks for Escort

As soon as Lu Zhigang sat down, the book boy jumped three feet high as if he was stung by a bee.

"You, you, you..., Young Master, Baoyu has given the warning, he is poisoned!"

The book boy Xiao Xu pointed at the glittering jade ornaments on his body, and was so flustered that he spoke without thinking and began to stutter.

Liu Fengji was much calmer than him and shouted, "Sit down and stop making a fuss."

He turned to Zhou You and nodded, "I didn't expect you to be a master of poison martial arts. It's not easy to break through to the martial arts master level!"

In one sentence, he showed his wide knowledge.

"Your Excellency's servant is wearing a treasure like the Poison Detection Jade. You are not an ordinary person."

Zhou You glanced at the servant boy Xiao Xu. The things on this child were equivalent to the estimated value of the entire Shen's business.

As the name suggests, poison-detecting jade will glow to warn you if poisonous substances approach.

Gems and precious jades are hard currencies that are more valuable than gold and silver, especially jades with special properties, which are extremely valuable.

When Zhou You visited the Qi family, he saw Qi Fengzhang showing off a piece of jade pendant. This jade can automatically cast a faint light as the owner's mood changes, which has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the emotions.

That piece of jade, like the book boy's poison-detecting jade, is a priceless treasure.

Liu Fengji smiled faintly and said, "It's just a little thing. Jade is dead, but people are alive."

"A truly powerful poison martial arts master can conceal the traces of poison, so that even the poison identification jade cannot detect it."

Zhou You smiled and didn't take it seriously. Anyone who could achieve what the other party mentioned must be at least a strong warrior, which was too far away from him.

Liu Fengji looked at Zhou You and said with a smile, "It is fate that we meet. I am Liu Fengji from Fucheng."

"Yes, I am Lu Zhigang."

When 'Lu Zhigang' announced his name, the master and servant looked confused, obviously they had never heard of his nickname.

It’s strange. Lu Zhigang, the Poison Goose, is quite famous in the capital. How could the other party not have heard of him?
There are only two explanations...
First, Liu Fengji lied, he was not from the provincial capital at all.

Secondly, the circle he belongs to is too high and far away from the level where Lu Zhigang became famous, so they would not notice him at all.

"Brother Lu, the witches are causing trouble nearby. Since you and I have met, why don't we travel together so that we can take care of each other."

Liu Fengji politely invited the other party.

"no!"

Lu Zhigang said stiffly, "With my ability, I can come and go freely by myself. If I go with you, it would be like bringing two burdens."

"Brother Liu, don't think I'm being blunt. The witches are so powerful now, and we are all in trouble. Let's find our own way to survive!"

Liu Fengji's face changed slightly when he heard this. He thought that meeting 'Lu Zhigang' was an opportunity, but he ignored his own situation.

That’s right, he is just a piece of blood and all alone, how could he be worthy of anyone’s help?

He was certain that the other party, who was traveling alone in the wizard's territory, must have extraordinary abilities, so he must seize this opportunity.

"Turning danger into fortune, could this be my chance?"

Liu Fengji gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the Liu family in Fucheng?"

One of the top families in Sucheng, a wealthy family among wealthy families, the family history can be traced back to the seventy-two ancestral tribes in ancient times.

Their ancestors were once wealthy, and they are still wealthy today, which is extraordinary.

Even though the Xu and Qi families are local tyrants in Gongliang City, they are just younger brothers in front of the Liu family.

"So you're a member of the Liu family!" Lu Zhigang bowed politely and stood up immediately, "Goodbye!"

He understood instantly that the person who had been protected by the powerful warrior from Zunyang City was none other than Liu Fengji in front of him.

If the descendants of the Liu family are the core members, they are indeed qualified to make Qiang Wu sacrifice his protection for them.

But why did we bump into each other here?
Liu Fengji's smile froze. He didn't expect Lu Zhigang to be so decisive. He turned around and left after learning his identity.

The servant boy at the side was also dumbfounded. Upon hearing the identity of his young master, shouldn't a normal person kneel down and salute respectfully?
"Wait a minute, Brother Lu, aren't you curious about why I'm here?"

Liu Fengji waved his hand, "Don't worry, I guarantee with my life that this place is very safe."

"..."

'Lu Zhigang' sat back and looked at him suspiciously.

"I was assigned by my family to guard Zunyang City. This time, we were attacked fiercely by the Wu Clan army, and destruction was inevitable."

"That Qiangwu is a loyal servant of my family. He fought hard and sacrificed himself to carve out a bloody path for me."

"Everyone around me has dispersed, leaving only Xiaoxu, the servant who has followed me since childhood."

Liu Fengji's explanation failed to satisfy Lu Zhigang.

'Lu Zhigang' then asked back, "I saw the fire fall with my own eyes, and the people inside were scattered everywhere, how did you get here?"

The atmosphere became solemn and a feeling of sadness arose.

Liu Fengji said in a sad tone, "That was a trick. The people Uncle Lie took away were my family guards. Without them, we would never have been able to deceive the witch clan."

Understood!
This was a plan to escape. Huoyan Qiangwu deliberately took his elite troops away, attracting the witch clan's pursuit.

The real owner, Liu Fengji, took advantage of the fact that the attention was drawn and secretly took his people away.

However, in this way, the fate of those shed shells would be much more miserable. Facing the search and siege of the witch army, there is no possibility of survival.

"The Royal Guard is my largest team, with 2 senior martial artists, 11 intermediate martial artists, and 37 junior martial artists."

"Now that all of them have been killed here, how can I, Liu Fengji, face their families?"

When Liu Fengji said this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

What the hell!

Lu Zhigang was unable to recover for a long while. So many martial arts masters were treated as consumables and abandoned as shields for Liu Fengji's escape, which brought him a huge shock to his heart.

Those martial artists, after going through hardships and finally being promoted to beginner, intermediate, and even advanced levels, ultimately became pawns.

The noble families have such power that they can drive them to their deaths at will.

If this is the case, why do warriors practice martial arts all year round and work hard to improve their strength?
At this moment, the tragic scene of mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood in Zunyang City appeared before his eyes.

A sense of sadness rose in Lu Zhigang's heart. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.

Even though he has the power to use his flaming palms and move freely among the enemy troops, he still has to stay for Liu Fengji to stop the powerful giant of the Witch Clan, and his life or death is unknown at the moment.

He was lost in his own thoughts and could not speak for a long time.

Liu Fengji noticed his loss of composure and thought to himself, I didn’t say anything, so why did the other party suddenly lose his concentration?
He waited for a moment, and when he saw that Lu Zhigang had come to his senses, he invited him, "Brother Lu, if you help me escape from here and return to the city, I will do my best to fulfill one of your requests."

It was in this wilderness, with only two or three listeners and such a simple environment that this sentence seemed unremarkable.

If it were somewhere else, such as the Liu family in the capital city, Liu Fengji's promise would be no different in effect than the dragon summoned after collecting all the seven dragon balls.

The book boy Xiaoxu's eyes widened as he looked at Lu Zhigang in shock. What was this guy's ability?
