survival in the wilderness

Chapter 457 Luzhuang
Lin Yan followed them, they were familiar with the route, it was obviously the way to the Colosseum.

Is there going to be another bloody scene of a ferocious beast chasing people?
She put up a mental shield, surrounded herself, and deliberately hid it, so no one noticed anything unusual along the way.

Sure enough, it was the Colosseum. In broad daylight, everything could be seen more clearly.

The blood on the ground was still wet, and the broken flesh and bones remained, but the nobles didn't seem to notice it.

He Zhang Yin looked around and saw nothing new, so he couldn't help but ask: "What does your master want?"

Someone immediately helped: "That's it, you invite people to come, but you don't show up, and you don't explain clearly. What do you want to do?"

"Didn't you just come to this place two days ago? Did you invite us here just to see the stains on the ground?"

"It's not about fighting beasts again, is it? I'm tired of seeing that thing. Can't we try something new?"

"Who says it isn't? It's better to see this beast fighting at night. The screams are more interesting in the dark environment."

"Don't interrupt, just listen to Manager Lu." Ling Shouze stopped with a smile and looked at Manager Lu, "If you have anything new, get it as soon as possible. Don't leave any ink. Master, I can't wait any longer."

Manager Lu accompanied him with a smile, "Honorable ladies, wait a moment, we will be here soon."

After he finished speaking, he looked towards the middle of the field, took out his bone whistle and blew it.

The sharp whistle was piercing, and many people walked in from four directions in the place that was empty just now.

Lin Yan took a closer look and saw that there were two teams of people escorting four women, looming in light veils.Soon we arrived at a high platform built in the middle of the field.

The other two teams escorted two large iron cages over, which contained two peacocks.The fur is brightly colored, the feathers are as beautiful as a cover, the body is two meters tall, and the eyes are sharp.

What are you trying to do?Watch the peacock spread its wings?
Lin Yan watched silently as the iron cage was placed in front of the high platform.

Light music sounded, and women in gauze danced gracefully.

After two or three minutes, the peacock in the iron cage unfolded its gorgeous tail wings, its beautiful color, dazzling and unparalleled luxury.

The people in the stands were getting impatient and didn't understand what was going on.But the moment the peacock opened its tail, everyone's eyes widened and they forgot to speak.

After a while, Ling Shouze was the first to come to his senses and praised loudly: "Wonderful, these two peacocks have been kept in captivity for many days, and they have never opened their tails today. Who came up with this brilliant idea to let women dance? Cause the peacocks to show their beauty?"

Manager Lu said proudly: "Of course it was my master's idea. In order to make all the noble ladies happy, the master came up with such a wonderful idea. I want the noble ladies to enjoy the peacock in full bloom. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, today is not in vain."

"Manager Lu, your master is really a wonderful man. Can you recommend him to him?"

"Brother Du is right. We have been curious about the master of Lu Village for a long time. Manager Lu, when will your master show up, let everyone meet him."

Ling Shouze also became interested, "This Luzhuang has existed in Fengcheng for a long time. It is mysterious and unpredictable, but the owner never shows up. Today, all the people coming here are famous people from Fengcheng. Why don't we take this opportunity to meet the Lu family?" Owner."

Luzhuang is a special place in Fengcheng. No aristocratic family comes out to claim it, but there are always some fantastic ideas that attract the rich and powerful to visit here.

The people who came here today are all regulars here. Luzhuang treats them attentively. Every time, the steward comes forward and never sees the owner.

People are curious, and the more mysterious and faceless something is, the more people want to find out.

Everyone was talking to each other, but they only had one idea: let the master of Luzhuang come out and show his face.

The people who can be invited are all the children of Fengcheng's aristocratic families. They have been arrogant and domineering since childhood, and they don't know what fear is.

The more people you shout, the more active they will be and insist on meeting each other.

Lin Yan was also very curious. As far as she knew, there must be a big force hidden behind the mystery of Luzhuang.You can tell something about it from the attitudes of the Ling family and other aristocratic families.

Here, they all deliberately restrained themselves a bit, looking much more submissive than their usual domineering behavior.If he hadn't mentioned the owner of Luzhuang in a hurry, these people would have been really curious and wouldn't have dared to force him like this.

People follow the crowd, and so many people gathered together represent the top circles of Fengcheng. They have a good status and are usually afraid of one or two, but at this moment, it is obviously the perfect time, so they dare to exert pressure suddenly.

Facing them, Manager Lu was helpless. How could he dare to offend so many people as a manager? He smiled and said, "Dear gentlemen, please listen to the next words."

"Say it." Ling Shouze raised his hand to signal for silence.

Everyone is staring at Manager Lu. If he doesn't give an explanation today, this matter will not go through.

"My master invites you to come today. In addition to making you happy, he is also sincere. He wants to take this opportunity to get to know you. It's just a temporary delay. He has to arrive a little later. I hope you will wait. Of course, If you have something to do, you can leave first. My master will not delay your important affairs."

Some people don't believe it and say, "Haha, you, the manager, are talking nicely, but who knows if you are so bold as to lie to us with your words?"

Manager Lu hurriedly said: "How dare you, a villain? Every word is the truth. If I lie, my master will not spare me."

"Oh, I'm sorry you don't dare, I'll just wait here. If your master never shows up, then you just wait and see."

"Every word of this villain is true, and there is absolutely no deception." Guan Lu said hurriedly, looking at Ling Shouze and Zhang Yin, "My master really wants to meet the nobles. He said that the stability of Luzhuang in these years depends on all the nobles. You have taken great care of me. The master would like to take this opportunity to express his gratitude. The two peacocks are just showing their gratitude. Please don’t blame the master for being rude."

Ling Shouze stared at him for a few seconds, waved his hand and said, "That's it, we'll just wait."

Other families may not know the depth of Luzhuang, but it is impossible for the Big Bully family to know everything.

As the overlord of Fengcheng, how could he tolerate someone acting like a monster on his own territory? The previous head of the Ling family had sent people to investigate several times, but they all returned.Many people went in at a loss, but no information was found.

But all signs prove that the water in Luzhuang is deep and cannot be touched rashly.

Ling Shouze knew that it was rare for the master of Luzhuang to show up, and he couldn't ask for it.

The wait lasted for more than half an hour, and the dancing in the venue continued. The peacock opened its tail twice more, and no one felt bored.

Hiding far away was not an option for Lin Yan. She had already knocked out one of Hejia's followers, put on his clothes, and flipped her face and hair around, making her look somewhat similar.

She has observed that this follower is the lowest kind, has no sense of existence and will not attract attention.

Standing there like a pillar, bowing his head in respect, but actually keeping his ears open, listening to everyone's words and extracting useful information from their conversations.

There were so many people here today, and more than half of Fengcheng's dignitaries came, obviously attracted by Luzhuang's reputation.

Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, the only other party capable of holding such a grand gathering is Luzhuang.The He family, where He Zhangyin was born, was second only to the Ling family. As the head of the family, he was here to give Luzhuang the greatest face.

Ling Shou was able to represent the Ling family because of various trade-offs.Firstly, he is a frequent visitor here, and secondly, he has a transcendent status in the Ling family.

Lin Yan suddenly raised his head and glanced not far away, where several people had gathered and talked about Ning Cheng.

"What the hell is that Sun Alliance? They captured four cities in one fell swoop. They were all remote towns, but they dared to clamor against us. Why don't we get rid of them completely?"

"How to solve it? The Ling family sent [-] private soldiers, and they fled in panic after being beaten. If it could be solved easily, the Ling family would have killed Ning Cheng until he was bleeding like a river."

"You are trying to make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. Our families have united together and have 30 private soldiers, and you are still afraid of the small Ningcheng. Huh, it's just that it doesn't concern you and everyone has their own thoughts. You want me He said that those who dare to jump on our heads should be killed as soon as possible in order to feel comfortable."

"This is an insightful statement. Why don't you, the Liu family, take the lead?"

"Haha, if the Liu family had this ability, they would be jumping up and down a long time ago."

Seeing that the topic was going off the rails, one person said: "Ningcheng's problem doesn't seem to be big, but it can't be ignored. I heard people say that the people in Ningcheng seem to be crazy. They have abolished slaves and are on equal footing with those untouchables. I really don't know what they think. .”

"It's puzzling. Although Ningcheng is remote, how could aristocratic families just watch something like this happen? I'm curious about what the chairman of the Sun Alliance thinks. Why are so many people following such a shocking system? support."

"I'm also curious and really want to take a look there. Unfortunately, the city lord issued an order not to allow any contact with Ning Cheng."

"The city lord is also thinking about us. Those untouchables don't know this yet. Once the news is leaked, it will be very detrimental to us."

Lin Yan thought to himself, these people are not useless. They have already seen the potential threat of the alliance to Fengcheng.

Lord Ling City issued a blockade order immediately. No wonder those at the bottom were unaware of the changes in Ningcheng.

The first consideration of these powerful people is always their own interests, and any factors that may endanger the status of the powerful people will be stifled.

While she was bored and thinking, the bare feet of the dancer on the high platform were bleeding, the heated discussion suddenly stopped and became quiet.

Lin Yan regained his energy and followed everyone's gaze. It turned out that today's protagonist had arrived.

Unlike the nobles who greet each other when they come out, the owner of Luzhuang came alone. He is lean and tall, wearing a black robe, with an angular face. Although he is not old, he has a domineering personality.His eyes swept across, and those who were looked at unconsciously straightened their backs and exhaled softly.

Lin Yan lowered his head hurriedly, not daring to look directly.This person's aura is too strong, and any slight abnormalities will definitely be noticed.

She smelled the scent of a similar person. This person was quite strong, completely different from those powerful people.

After a while, the people who were shocked by the master of Luzhuang gradually came back to their senses.

Manager Lu introduced him amidst everyone's expectations: "This is my master, Mr. Lu."

He introduced everyone present to Mr. Lu in turn. Those who were eligible to be introduced individually were all important figures in the family.

Lin Yan took the opportunity to make another note in her notebook. More people came today than last time at the Colosseum, and she added some more names to her list.

Mr. Lu just nodded slightly and didn't make too many moves even to Ling Shouze.

A group of people saw this and couldn't help but wink at each other. Does this mean they don't take the Ling family seriously?
In the past, when strangers met for the first time, no one would be respectful and courteous to the Ling family. Even if some people disdained this, they would restrain themselves.

Mr. Lu is the first to do this. Thinking of the mysterious Lu Village, he must have something to rely on if he dares to do this.

On the other hand, Ling Shouze was treated like this. He had a smile on his face and looked as usual. He didn't look angry as usual, which was even more intriguing.

None of the Ling family had any objections. They could only restrain the resentment in their hearts and pretend they didn't know anything.

This scene was also seen by Lin Yan. Although Mr. Lu didn't say a word, he already said everything.With an arrogant attitude, it was as if the Ling family was not in his eyes either.This is interesting.

The person's posture was very high, and the dignitaries of the aristocratic family also knew how to look at people's faces, and soon they took the initiative to chat with each other and became lively.

He Zhang Yin forced a smile on his stern face, and said in a slower voice: "Master Lu invited so many people here today, and everyone is here to show their respect. I wonder if I can get a word of truth?"

"Please tell me what you mean by this, Master." Mr. Lu's voice was calm and he looked over casually.

"We have been chatting for a long time, but I still don't know Mr. Lu's name and where he comes from. We are all regular visitors to Luzhuang and are very curious about this place. It is rare for the owner to show up, so I believe it will satisfy everyone's curiosity."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited.

Ling Shouze followed: "I have the same doubts as the head of the family, just like me. Mr. Lu, you are waiting eagerly. Please give me a happy word."

He relied on his elders and acted like he was an ordinary junior, but only he knew what he was thinking.

The Ling family couldn't find the person behind Lu Zhuang. It was rare to find a Mr. Lu, and this person was the breakthrough.This opportunity is too rare to miss.

Mr. Lu didn't say anything, and the scene turned cold for a moment.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, with expressions of embarrassment and uneasiness.

Manager Lu came to the rescue and said with a smile: "My master lives at home and is known as Mr. Lu Wu." As for where his home is and which family he comes from, he didn't say a word.

But there are not many people who can be raped at such a young age.

This Fifth Master Lu is definitely a ruthless person.

Everyone's faces were a little stiff. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
Lin Yan sneered. A group of hypocritical people tried to fawn over each other. They looked the same on the outside, but who knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Mr. Lu Wu showed up, exchanged a few words and then disappeared.

The people who stayed behind suppressed their smiles and looked calm.Especially Ling Shouze and He Zhangyin, their expressions became increasingly ugly.

After a while, Ling Shouze said coldly: "The master has left, what are we doing here? Let's go home early."

"Yes, it's just lunch time. I can still catch up on eating when I get back. I've been standing here for a few hours and I'm already hungry."

A group of people broke up unhappy.Lin Yan changed his clothes and did not follow the crowd, but lurked in Luzhuang invisibly.

Mr. Lu Wu, who appeared today, unveiled a corner of the mystery of Luzhuang. She had indeed found the right place.
