Chapter 205 Lu Family
Lingzhou, Lu family.

Lu Xiao, the general of Lingzhou, died in battle. Although the Lu family obtained the title of Earl of Yongzhuang, an earl cannot bring prosperity to the family. At most, it is just a small blessing, and the status must be much lower than before.

If one wants to be as wealthy as other big families, then one must have sufficient strength. Without Lu Xiao, the Lu family is obviously not qualified.

Xuan Yang has extremely strict control over titles.

Over the past thousand years, there have been no more than a hundred people with titles, and most of them were important founding ministers who had followed Emperor Taizu and made great contributions to the country.

However, the fact that Lu Xiao was awarded the title of Earl of Yongzhuang after his death was actually a great favor from the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhenbei Army lost its great general Xu Dingchun and the people were not in turmoil at the time, and the emperor was in urgent need of someone to boost morale, Lu Xiao would not have been able to become an earl just by playing around.

Although the Lu family could not become extremely wealthy with this title, they could at least live in luxury for hundreds of years.

Even a noble family like the Jiang family could not even earn the title of earl.

This was also a consideration of the Xuanyang court. After the founding of the country, there were very few cases of large families being granted titles. The purpose was to prevent those large families from being able to continue their inheritance stably.

Those noble families without hereditary titles will perish after a few turmoil if their descendants are not good one day, even if they are big families.

However, these are not things that the eldest son of the Lu family, who has just inherited the title of Earl of Yongzhuang, needs to consider.

In the hall of the Lu family, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face had a cruel smile on his face.

This person is the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yao.

Although he was the eldest son, Lu Yao had never been valued by Lu Xiao.

Under the Lu family's peculiar family tradition, they live in fear every day.

Lu Xiao was at the peak of his powers when he died in battle, so how could he have made a will? Therefore, the title of Earl Yongzhuang could only fall on him, the eldest son, in accordance with Xuanyang custom.

Once Lu Yao gained power, the first thing he wanted to do was naturally to purge those who disobeyed him in the Lu family.

Although his martial arts skills were mediocre and he was still just a strong man after training for several days and years, his title of Earl of Bravery was very useful.

The middle force of the Lu family was originally the martial artists recruited by Lu Xiao. Those people were profit-seeking and assisted Lu Yao for the reward from Earl Yongzhuang.

However, this did not prevent Lu Yao from using it to win over the hearts of the people and deal with those members of the Lu family who had ulterior motives.

Of course, even though he was simple-minded, he had no intention of letting it go.

"Brother, please let me go."

A man covered in blood knelt on the ground and begged desperately.

The look on Lu Yao's face became even more morbid: "Good brother, how could I let you die so easily?"

The man kneeling on the ground was the fifth son of the Lu family. His talent was much better than that of the eldest son. He was quite favored when Lu Xiao was still alive, and he was humiliated many times. Now that he has gained power, he will not easily let go of those members of the Lu family who once looked down on him.

This was the tenth member of the Lu family whom he had tortured to death.

When each of them died, there was hardly any good meat left on their bodies, which was extremely miserable.

However, the more tragically those people died, the more excited Lu Yao became.

Just then, there was a burst of loud exclamations from outside the door, and Lu Yao frowned.

Then I saw Lu Yu and Lu Shanshan walking slowly towards me, and with them appeared a masked man whose face could not be seen.

All the Lu family masters who were originally standing at the door were knocked to the ground.

Lu Yao looked stern but was actually weak: "Lu Yu, Lu Shanshan, are you guys going to betray the clan?"

Lu Yu sneered: "If you die, I won't be considered a traitor."

"you"

Lu Yao's eyes widened, and panic flashed in his eyes.

Although Lu Yu is an illegitimate child, he is also the most talented person in the Lu family. He, with only a strong Zangguan, has no chance of being his opponent.

"Fuck me!"

He howled, and several figures appeared in the hall.

These people were all powerful martial artists who had followed Lu Xiao before, and they were also the biggest reason why Lu Xiao dared to be so presumptuous.

An old man with a hooked nose walked up slowly and said, "Lu Yu, I thought you were a man who knew the times, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Lu Yu looked at the old man.

This person is the strongest person in the Lu family besides Lu Xiao. Even Lu Xiao spent a lot of effort to recruit him back then.

This old man with a hooked nose used to be a ghostwriter in Qingzhou.

The strength of a ghostwriter who has entered the martial arts world cannot be bad, and his killing power is terrifyingly great. It is precisely because of the support of this old man that Lu Yao dares to be so unscrupulous.

The old man with the hooked nose suddenly laughed and said, "I'll give you one chance. As long as you are willing to cut off one of your arms and one of your legs, I can let you go."

Of course, he couldn't be sincere in assisting Lu Yao. He was just using Lu Yao's name to clear the obstacles of the Lu family. In this way, the Lu family's property would naturally become his private property.

Lu Yu: "Okay."

He slowly raised the soft sword.

However, the target was not his arm, but the fifth son of the Lu family who was kneeling on the ground.

"Well"

A sword seals the throat.

The fifth son of the Lu family fell to the ground, sobbing in pain, holding his bleeding neck, and was motionless after a while.

The old man with the hooked nose showed an interested look: "You are right up my alley. As long as you are willing to be my disciple, you can replace this waste now."

Lu Yao finally showed a panicked look.

"Mr. Zhu, you can't."

"Shut up!"

The old man with the hooked nose shouted loudly.

Do you really think you are a brave and strong man?

In his eyes, Lu Yao was just a puppet that could be replaced at any time.

Lu Yu sneered: "So, I should thank you?"

"Are you going to refuse?"

"Of course. Why would I want to take a dead person as my teacher?"

The old man with the hooked nose glanced at the man in black beside Lu Yu: "Just him?"

Although he couldn't see the face of the man in black, based on his years of experience in the martial arts world, the old man with the hooked nose could conclude that the man in black must be no more than thirty years old.

It is true that for a martial arts genius, breaking through is as easy as drinking water, but it also takes time to accumulate.

Under thirty?
At most, it's just a breakthrough.

Even with Lu Yu, they were just two young guys who were just getting into the game.

The old man with the hooked nose laughed strangely: "Young man, do you think that you are qualified to challenge me after breaking through the entry level?"

"Today I will show you that there is a huge gap between the levels of strength!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the man in black beside Lu Yu like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit.

Since that person was the reason why Lu Yu dared to break into the Lu family, he would first completely destroy this confidence.

A strangely shaped iron whip appeared out of thin air in the old man's hand.

In order to pursue the ultimate killing power, ghostwriters usually do not take the usual approach, and their weapons are even more bizarre. The iron whip is very popular among ghostwriters because of its concealed hiding means and tricky attack methods, and it is the most convenient way to kill people.

The old man with the hooked nose had a bloodthirsty look on his face.

Now he just wanted to use the iron whip to poke a hundred and eight bloody holes in the body of the man in black in front of him.

He hated young people who pretended to be cool the most in his life.
