Chapter 124 The Young Master and the Farmhand 31
Lu Changning took the invitation and went to find Niutou. At this time, he was training in the military camp and was whipping a soldier with a whip. The soldier knelt on the ground, enduring the whipping, but gritted his teeth and said nothing.
There were already mottled bloodstains on his back, but instead of hatred, there was a burning light in the soldier's eyes.
The officer who led Lu Changning in was no longer surprised by this scene, and explained to Lu Changning: "Jing Zhuo must have made the general angry again, young master, please don't blame me."
Lu Changning had excellent eyesight and could see the soldier's swollen and red face from a distance. The red marks were obviously caused by being beaten. "Why didn't you stop him?"
The officer laughed: "The general is gentle to others, but once he faces this kid, he will lose his mind instantly. We once thought about transferring Jing Zhuo away, but this kid is not a normal person. After being transferred away, he ran several kilometers overnight and came back. Alas, maybe it's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten!"
Brutal, really too brutal. This world is so big, you can really encounter anyone!
When they got closer, Niutou discovered them, then he put away the whip in his hand, kicked the soldier lying on the ground in front of him, and walked over to talk to Lu Changning: "Why are you here?"
Lu Changning tilted his head and looked at the soldier on the ground. He was not angry after being beaten, but picked up the whip on the ground and wiped it carefully. He raised his head again, staring at Niutou alone with his eyes focused, and could not think of anything else.
Hiss, I met a pervert.
"I have something to discuss with you."
Following Niu Tou into the house, when they were alone in the house, Lu Changning asked in a mean way: "Brother Niu's charm has not diminished. He can win the admiration of others no matter where he is."
Niutou rolled his eyes, looking very annoyed: "I really have provoked a madman. I can't chase him away, and he won't listen to me no matter how I scold him. I feel like I am rewarding him when I hit him. I am really fed up. Are all people named Jing Zhuo perverts? Why are they pestering me one by one?"
Melon! A big melon!
"Brother Niu, what was the situation with the last Jing Zhuo? Tell me about it and I will help you analyze where this attraction comes from."
Niu Tou didn't want to mention this matter again: "Why did you come to see me? You didn't just come to watch me have fun, did you?"
"That's definitely not the case." Since Brother Niu was unwilling to say it, Lu Changning began to talk about the purpose of this trip: "The main reason I came here today is to take a look at Brother Niu's Book of Life and Death, and help me check how many years the head of the Jiang family has left to live."
When Niu Tou heard about this, he didn't bother and immediately took out the simplified version of the Book of Life and Death. He was shocked when he saw it. He cried out in surprise, then slowly stretched out his hand and made the number three.
Lu Changning felt relieved when he saw the three fingers: "There are still three years left. The head of the family is already 103 years old this year. I didn't expect him to live so long. He is really lucky."
Niu Tou shook his head, his eyes wide open: "No, you misunderstood, it's not three years, it's three hours. If nothing unexpected happens, you will hear the Jiang family's death announcement tomorrow!"
"What? Three hours! He can't die today! What will happen to my plan if he dies?"
Lu Changning didn't have time to say anything, and immediately performed an out-of-body experience in Brother Niu's room.
When Niu Tou saw Lu Changning dressed as a ghost messenger, he was still a little uncomfortable: "Life span is determined by nature. It's not easy for you to extend the old man's life by three hours. This needs to be reported to the higher authorities for approval."
Lu Changning held the soul-locking hook tightly and stretched his arms: "I don't want to extend his life! It's enough for him to live to see the birthday party of the Patriarch of the Wei family and then die!"
Before he could say anything more, Lu Changning had already disappeared. Niu Tou saw his body in the room and was a little confused: "Even if it's only one day of life extension, it's only one day of life extension! Without the approval of the underworld, how can you, a ghost messenger, extend it?"
That night, Lu Changning came back in a hurry. Niutou was fiddling with Lu Changning's body, planning to change his look. Before he could do anything, he came back, catching him in the act.
"Hey, what are you going to do to my body!?"
Niu Tou looked at the pink and tender little skirt in his hand and said it was a pity repeatedly. This would be recorded in Lu Changning's ghost messenger book of shame, and he missed it just like that.
He quickly put away the tools used in the crime, but Niu Tou refused to admit it: "I didn't intend to do anything. I'm keeping it for you. So, did you survive?"
Lu Changning stood up and stretched his body: "Don't worry, Lao Jiang will definitely not die before Lao Wei's birthday."
Niu Tou was puzzled: "How did you extend his life? I have been a ghost messenger for so many years, but I have never learned this magic."
"It's not a life extension spell, it's just a simple soul-locking spell! It can keep him alive for a while if you put it on his body."
Niu Tou was even more puzzled: "Where did you learn this from? I only heard that the ghost messenger can summon souls, but I never knew that we can lock souls."
Ah, Brother Niu doesn't know how to do it? Lu Changning realized that the Soul Locking Technique was not something from the mainland, so how could he explain that he was born with it? Facing Niu Tou's questioning, he could only make up nonsense.
"Well, I once possessed an ancient black dragon and gained a little inheritance."
Niu Tou was relieved. "So that's what happened. I thought the ghost messenger didn't tell me when his business was updated. You are really lucky to get such a good deal. You can get the inheritance of God so easily."
The more he talked, the more guilty Lu Changning felt. How was he supposed to know where these things came from? They would just pop up in his mind automatically when he wanted to use them.
"Well, let's discuss the follow-up matters."
Niu Tou sat next to Lu Changning: "Okay, tell me how you want me to cooperate."
Lu Changning's plan was actually very simple. This time, he invited the heads and heirs of the major families. What Lu Changning wanted was just for the head of the Jiang family to die at the birthday banquet of the old man of the Wei family.
This plan is insidious, but as a ghost messenger, it is reasonable for him to come up with such a plan.
Once the head of the Jiang family died, he didn't believe that the alliance between the two families could continue.
The Jiang and Wei families were not stable internally, and they had been supported by these two elderly family heads for so many years. As long as the family heads died, internal struggles would inevitably begin. At that time, it would be easy to defeat the two families without any effort.
Niu Tou listened to Lu Changning's plan and looked through the Book of Life and Death: "The old man of the Wei family doesn't have many days left to live. I'm afraid that he will have his funeral the moment he celebrates his 100th birthday."
"So, Mr. Wei's health is probably not very good." Lu Changning frowned, "Something is not right. The old man's health is already like this, why did the Wei family invite all the families to participate in such a grand manner? And they even specifically asked the head of the family and the heir to go. This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. I'm afraid he won't come back peacefully."
Niu Tou felt that Lu Changning's analysis made sense: "Our old man's legs were not good many years ago. This is something everyone knows. Now they even specially invited you. Isn't this just to catch you all in one fell swoop. If the head and heirs of the Liu family all die at this banquet, then the Liu family is bound to be in trouble."
Lu Changning looked at Niutou and said, "It seems that after training for so long, it's time for us to go on stage."
"Then I will quietly lead my troops over to ambush them, and then wait for the right opportunity to strike."
"That's all we can do. It seems like it's impossible to defeat them without bloodshed. Brother Niu, I think the decisive battle is about to begin."
