Lu Zheng is a Good Young Man

With a miserable scream, rustling sounds immediately echoed from the side room behind Lu Zheng.

Soon, a crack appeared as the wooden window was pushed open, and two pairs of eyes peered out.

"It's me, Lu Zheng, no need to be afraid."

"It's Young Master Lu!"

"Aiya, we're not afraid!"

Movement also came from the backyard, apparently Old Man Liu and his wife, along with the Liu sisters, had been awakened by Third Brother's scream.

"It's you!"

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the night, and the remaining men clearly saw Lu Zheng's face.

In the next moment, Fourth Brother drew a dagger from his waist and lunged at Lu Zheng.

"Fourth Brother, be careful!"

"This guy is tough!"

First Brother and Second Brother shouted, each drawing a short knife, and attacked from both sides.

Fourth Brother roared, pouncing forward. Lu Zheng chopped down with his hand, but the opponent suddenly stopped and retreated, dodging the blow. Then, he immediately seized the opportunity to close in, stabbing his dagger straight at Lu Zheng's throat.

Lu Zheng shifted his body to the side, and his long saber slashed upwards in response.

"Clang!"

Fourth Brother blocked the saber with his dagger, then quickly retreated.

At this moment, First Brother and Second Brother had closed in.

Lu Zheng saw First Brother and Second Brother approaching from the corner of his eye, so he advanced instead of retreating.

You Fourth Brother want to wait for a combined attack? Not so easy! You're going down too!

Lu Zheng followed Fourth Brother's retreating direction, stomped his foot, and pounced forward.

"You!"

Fourth Brother was shocked. His original intention was just to feint and restrain, why are you still following? Seeing Lu Zheng closing in, Fourth Brother roared and raised his dagger.

But just as he raised his hand, Lu Zheng's left hand arrived.

Grip! Guide! Pull! Break! He directly guided the dagger in Fourth Brother's hand behind himself.

The long saber slashed.

"Ah!"

Lu Zheng shrunk, shifted, and turned, arriving behind Fourth Brother.

First Brother and Second Brother stopped abruptly, and saw Lu Zheng slash Fourth Brother's foot with his long saber, and break his arm with his left hand.

"Crack!"

"Ah!"

Fourth Brother screamed, and Lu Zheng sent him flying to the side.

"Expert!"

"Lu Lang?"

Just then, Old Man Liu and his wife, along with the Liu sisters, appeared at the side door connecting the front and back yards.

"Hmm?"

First Brother's eyes lit up, and he turned to rush towards them.

Second Brother blocked Lu Zheng, not seeking to injure the enemy, but only to protect himself and hinder Lu Zheng.

"Ah!" Liu Qingquan cried out in alarm, shrinking behind her sister.

Old Man Liu held a stick in his hand, standing expressionlessly in front of his family, while Liu Qingyan stared intently at First Brother with a deep gaze.

"Looking for death!"

Lu Zheng's figure leaped, his whole body's Blood Qi surged, and the long saber in his hand shone brilliantly.

"Martial Artist!" Second Brother exclaimed, subconsciously moving aside.

However, the long saber flashed past, still leaving a gash on his shoulder, and a stream of blood spurted out.

Second Brother's shout, coupled with the sharp aura attacking from behind, made First Brother's scalp tingle and his body turn cold. He hurriedly rolled to the side like a lazy donkey.

The long saber slashed through the air, and when First Brother rolled over and got up again, he saw that Lu Zheng had already blocked his path.

As for Second Brother, he was currently busy stopping his bleeding.

In just a brief exchange, all three of his brothers had already been seriously injured.

They were done for!

Lu Zheng swung his long saber and stepped forward.

"Wait!" First Brother hurriedly retreated, shouting as he did so, "We admit defeat, please show mercy!"

Lu Zheng chuckled, "Are you kidding me? Show mercy? If you want to beg for mercy, you should go to the county yamen and talk to Liu Butou."

First Brother hurriedly shouted, "We are from the Golden Severing Hall of Yao Province. If you hand us over to the authorities, you will only incur the enmity of our hall!"

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes. So, these guys had some backing? But he didn't stop his advance, casually saying, "How big of a force can you be? Do you dare to oppose the imperial court?"

What a heavy accusation! First Brother hurriedly retreated, "Of course we wouldn't dare to oppose the imperial court, but aren't you afraid of the Golden Severing Hall's revenge?"

Lu Zheng paused, "Do you think I'm stupid? The feud has already been made!"

First Brother hurriedly said, "You are a Martial Artist, we are just a few small grave robbers. As long as we return safely, we will never dare to disturb you again!"

"Golden Severing Hall of Yao Province..." Lu Zheng turned to look at Old Man Liu, "Uncle Liu, have you heard of this hall?"

Weren't Old Man Liu's family originally from Wanfu County in Yao Province? Maybe he had heard of them?

Old Man Liu indeed knew of them, saying, "I've heard of them, a small gang that dabbles in illegal activities. I heard there are cultivators among them."

"Our hall master has three people, one who can subdue demons and control ghosts, one whose Martial Path Blood Qi is like a furnace, and one who is skilled in esoteric arts!" First Brother hurriedly added.

Lu Zheng's eyes flickered.

First Brother hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands, "You are magnanimous, please think about it. We are just a few third-rate grave robbers, we admit defeat. This matter is only known to you and us. Our hall master would never risk bringing the entire hall to fight against you!

But if you hand us over to the authorities, the Golden Severing Hall will lose face and have to come and seek revenge. Don't you think that makes sense?"

In all dynasties, grave robbing was a serious crime, because everyone dies, especially those with power and influence, and no one wants someone to dig up their graves after they die.

In addition, the three injured men couldn't help but endure their pain, lightening their breathing, for fear of annoying Lu Zheng and being handed over to the authorities.

Although Lu Zheng's skills were amazing, he hadn't used lethal force. They were all veterans and could tell at a glance that Lu Zheng had never killed anyone, knowing that they still had hope.

Lu Zheng turned his head, and Old Man Liu knew at a glance that Lu Zheng was hesitating, so he thought for a moment and said, "The Golden Severing Hall doesn't have a good reputation, but Lu Zheng, you have already stepped into the Martial Path, so they may not really come seeking revenge."

The four men's faces changed.

However, Lu Zheng was still pondering, a look of calmness flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he swung the long saber in his hand, "Forget it, you can go, but if there is a next time, I will definitely make sure you never return!"

Liu Qingyan wanted to say something but was stopped by Old Man Liu.

First Brother's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, young master! We will never step into Tonglin County again, no, no, no, we will never step into Yizhou Prefecture again!"

Under the gaze of Lu Zheng and the others, First Brother and Second Brother helped Third Brother and Fourth Brother up, and the group staggered away together.

Lu Zheng turned his head and smiled, "It's alright now."

Old Man Liu and his wife hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, "Thank you, Lu Zheng, if it weren't for you, we would have been in trouble tonight!"

Liu Qingyan also gave a graceful salute, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "I didn't expect you to cultivate Blood Qi of the Martial Path so quickly."

"Lu Zheng gege, you are so amazing! Can you protect us in the future?" Liu Qingquan jumped to Lu Zheng's side, pulling on Lu Zheng's sleeve.

"Of course!" Lu Zheng touched Liu Qingquan's little head.

Lu Zheng waved his hand at them, "Alright, it's too late, everyone should rest soon."

When he came, he jumped over the wall, but now it was inappropriate to climb the wall to go back, so Lu Zheng also honestly walked through the main entrance to leave.

"Father," Liu Qingyan frowned, "Those few people had shifty eyes, and their faces only showed relief without gratitude. Lu Zheng has a kind heart and let them go, but I'm afraid they..."

Old Man Liu smiled, "Do you think Lu Zheng acts like a hesitant person usually?"

"Ah?" Liu Qingyan was stunned.

"Yan'er, you are still too young. Lu Zheng is kind, but he hasn't reached the point of being unable to distinguish right from wrong, or being timid and fearful."

"Could it be..."

Old Man Liu smiled and said, "I won't say it explicitly. Lu Zheng doesn't want to involve us, nor does he want us to know and be afraid. He's a good young man."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.
