Chapter 294 Black Armored Soldiers
The doors and windows in the Lu family’s hall and the yellow paper talismans pasted on the walls all whirred at this moment.

These methods used to protect the room were useless at this moment, and none of them worked.

“Grandfather? What’s going on?”

The eldest young master of the Lu family felt a little flustered.

Looking at the current situation, he had some guesses in his mind, but still couldn’t believe it.

“Our nobleman is definitely not a good person. He values ​​his secrets more than his life. How could he possibly agree if I tell him his identity?”

The grandfather of the Lu family stood up, and a booklet appeared in his hand.

This booklet is old, with a yellowed cover and no words written on it.

When the old man held the book in his hands, the temperature around him dropped a lot, and even some white frost formed on the doors and windows of the house, as if winter had returned.

The eldest son of the Lu family naturally knew this booklet.

This is the Lu family’s heirloom.

The original head of the Lu family was penniless and was just an ordinary citizen, but one day he was lucky enough to accidentally enter an empty room in the basement of Kyoto and got this booklet.

From then on, they rose rapidly in the career, helped the founding emperor to fight against the seven bandits, and successfully became a well-known family in Kyoto.

This booklet has been inherited all the way down the generations, and to this day, only the head of the Lu family is qualified to use it.

However, in most cases, the Lu family’s power is enough to solve the many troubles they face, so there is no need for the head of the family to take action personally.

Over time, this booklet became a decoration of the Lu family and was rarely used.

But this also means that if the head of the family takes out this thing, the Lu family will be at a critical moment of life and death.

The eldest young master of the Lu family finally reacted:

“Your Excellency wants to silence me?!”

“Xiaoyang, pick up the knife.” Grandfather Lu said, “They are coming.”

The eldest son of the Lu family opened his mouth wide and his mind was in a mess.

He thought for a long time, but still felt puzzled:

“Grandfather, why didn’t you tell me when you met the Taoist priest?”

“There were so many people around at the time. If I had told the Taoist priest directly, he would have known that I was a snitch. I’m afraid that by the time you and I return home, our Lu family mansion will be nothing but ruins.”

“Then why don’t you invite the Taoist priest to come tomorrow? As long as the Taoist priest is at the Lu family, it is impossible for the noble to come.”

“The noble’s men have already arrived.” The grandfather of the Lu family sighed, “Otherwise, how could his black cavalry arrive at the gate of our Lu family so quickly?

“I’m just betting that they won’t take risks and that they won’t enter our Lu family.

“But now it seems that the noble is also anxious and wants to destroy my Lu family regardless of the consequences.

“Haha, it looks like tonight is a matter of life and death for the Lu family.”

The eldest young master of the Lu family finally reacted.

I’m afraid my grandfather had already prepared to fight to the death before he returned home.

The eldest young master of the Lu family sighed:
“It’s difficult. It looks like the Lu family will be doomed tonight.”

He was discouraged, but still took out his sword and followed behind Lu’s grandfather.

The woman’s face was also full of confusion. She wanted to say something when the wooden door of the mansion suddenly moved with a whistling sound.

The wooden door and the wooden frame collided, making a rattling sound, which was disturbing and noisy.

as well as……

Scream.

The eldest young master of the Lu family could tell that these were all Lu family’s retainers.

There was a lame Kong Lao Er. He was originally a swordsman. His leg was broken while he was wandering around the world, so he came to the Lu family as a retainer.

Now he was screaming heart-wrenchingly, accompanied by the sound of flesh being cut open.

He also heard a female roar. It was the ugly woman that the young master of the Lu family picked up from outside. She was extremely strong but had a dull mind. The young master of the Lu family thought she was suitable to be a deadpool, so he brought her back to teach her martial arts.

Today she was indeed loyal and filial, and lived her last days of life to the fullest.

What followed was the sound of the blade falling on bluestone, wooden stakes and steel.

The angry roar did not last long and stopped abruptly, as if someone had cut his throat.

“coming.”

The grandfather of the Lu family opened the book, and a faint light flickered.

He took another deep look at the painting of the Lu family’s ancestor hanging on the wall, which was glowing orange-yellow under the candlelight.

Still no movement.

Their ancestors will not bless the Lu family. Only the weapons in their hands can protect them.

The door of the hall was smashed into pieces with a loud bang.

Soldiers in black armor stood outside the door, silent, holding long swords.

Gloomy and terrifying.

……

Kyoto will definitely be sleepless tonight.

The major families continued to discuss Zuo Chen’s “invitation”.

From the first half of the night to the second half of the night, almost all the nobles agreed on one fact:
If they confronted the Taoist priest head-on, they would surely die. After considering for a long time, most of the families decided to leave Kyoto.

As long as you hold on to the gold, silver and treasures, you can have fun wherever you go. The worst that can happen is you can give up your rights in Kyoto and start over again.

But where to go was discussed for a long time by these nobles.

Youzhou is not good, Xuzhou is not good, Yuzhou is not good.

After much thought, Qingzhou is the most appropriate.

Prince Shou has desires. If you give him money, he can get a good position in Qingzhou.

When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to go to the dense forest and live in seclusion, and I will still be able to live comfortably.

After the plan was finalized, the nobles prepared to evacuate the area.

As he was ordering his subordinates to move gold and silver, he suddenly saw flames rising from the city of Kyoto.

There’s a fire in the direction of the Lu family!
Seeing the raging flames, many nobles felt their hearts tremble.

Was it the Taoist priest or the noble who did this?

No one knows.

However, the flames of Kyoto were like the sound of a bell, informing everyone in Kyoto:

The chess players have already started playing the big game using Kyoto as the chessboard, and their chess pieces have been worn out and broken in the confrontation.

The fire burned for half the night. Some families sent spies to the Lu family. However, most of the spies disappeared without a trace. Only a few families received a special gift:

They were spies that were finely cut and roasted under a fierce fire.

Yes, I have been warned.

Threatening those families who have uneasy thoughts.

Only after seeing such brutal means did these families become certain that the Lu family was killed by the nobleman.

They immediately restrained their thoughts and didn’t even dare to escape.

However, under the cover of the fire, a figure still ran out from the Lu family.

He escaped from the sea of ​​fire through a secret passage in the artificial lake of the Lu family compound, swam with bated breath all the way to the viewing river that crossed Kyoto, and stumbled onto the shore.

This was a young man, his sleeves had been torn by the flames, and he did not look noble at all. Even the dogs and beggars on the street looked more decent than him.

He had a book in his arms, which had just been taken out of the water. There was no visible water stain on it, and it looked as good as new.

This person is the eldest son of the Lu family.

He leaned against the shore, breathing heavily, leaning his body against the wall to recover his strength.

The moonlight shone on his body, revealing his tattered clothes and the hideous wounds beneath his clothes.

At that time, his mother stood in front of the black-armored soldier and was cut in half by a sword along the middle, evenly divided into left and right.

The blinding technique used by his mother before her death when facing the black-armored soldiers successfully bought the eldest young master of the Lu family a chance to survive.

The blinding technique caused some problems for the black-armored soldier in controlling the distance, and the long sword that swept across only scratched the skin of the eldest young master of the Lu family, but did not take his life. He took advantage of this opportunity to jump into the lake.

Thinking of the scene that just happened in his family, the eldest young master of the Lu family couldn’t help but feel absurd and desolate.

There were only five black-armored soldiers in total, but they actually massacred the entire Lu family!

The Lu family is a big family in Kyoto, and the retainers who guard the house are very capable. His grandfather’s ability in holding the book was even more extraordinary, but he still couldn’t stop these soldiers.

They were like old farmers chopping watermelons in the market, raising their knives high and chopping them down hard, using their hands and feet to help, tearing the person in half.

It was like a horrible nightmare.

After resting for a while and recovering his strength, the eldest master of the Lu family gritted his teeth and pushed himself up.

He still has things to do.

Now that the Lu family has been destroyed, if he continues to lie here, he will definitely be killed by the black-armored soldiers who will catch up with him.

But if he can find the Taoist priest, he still has a chance of survival!
He held on to his body and walked forward in a panic, following the familiar road in his memory, heading towards the Yaochi Tower.

It is now the hour of the rat, and except for the night watchmen, there is no one else on the street. The once bustling Kyoto is now as quiet as a ghost market, eerie and terrifying.

He ran forward two more steps tiredly, and suddenly heard the sound of heavy armor falling to the ground behind him.

The eldest young master of the Lu family turned around in horror.

Only then did he realize that a soldier in black armor had caught up with him.

He didn’t even take a step to chase him, but just strolled leisurely like a cat playing with a mouse, slowly walking towards the direction of the eldest young master of the Lu family.

Fear has already filled the heart of the eldest young master of the Lu family, and he is still a very long distance away from the Yaochi Tower.

He might not be able to run past it.

In desperation, the eldest son of the Lu family closed his eyes, as if to save his life, and shouted loudly:
“I know your identity! Taoist Zuo Chen, please save me!”

Upon hearing this, the black-armored soldiers sneered under their armor.

The long sword was raised above his head, and the blade looked cold under the moonlight.

The eldest son of the Lu family stared at the mirror-like blade in despair.

suddenly,

There he saw a shadow on the clean blade.

like……

Behind the black-armored soldier, a Taoist priest was walking towards him!
