Chapter Eighty-Seven The Man in Black

  It's unclear whether they truly respected the elderly or had ulterior motives, but Gu Wanda, Guan Feng, Lu Yu and Lü Yuan treated Luo Zhongshan with great deference, their posture very humble.

  The meal ended in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, with everyone in high spirits, as well as denouncing the Wind Bandits.

  After dinner, the four young masters still lingered and refused to leave. One or two of them kept crowding around Luo Qiushui's side, either subtly or directly teasing her to amuse themselves.

  Standing idly by, Zhao Ji could guess the intentions of the four, which was nothing more than wanting to capture Luo Qiushui and gain both wealth and person.

  Lu Zhongshan has no son, and only one daughter. In the future, the one who will inherit the Lu family business is undoubtedly Lu Qiushui. If he can marry Lu Qiushui, not only can he get a beautiful woman, but also the vast assets of the Lu family will fall into his hands. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

  Although he saw the intention of the four young masters, Zhao Ji did not show any sign of concern. He had no thoughts about Luo Qiushui and the Luo family's property.

  For the four great young masters, Luo Qiushui was clearly not too enthusiastic. Gu Wan Dao, Guan Feng and Lü Yuan were still okay, their attitude towards them was just slightly cold. But for Lu Yu, she was really extremely impatient.

  Tormented by the four, Luo Qiushui was thinking of how to get rid of them when he caught sight of Zhao Ji standing aside with his arms crossed, observing. His eyes lit up and he hastily ran over.

  "Brother Zhao, will you accompany me to ride horses?"

  Beautiful big eyes blinked, an idea floated up in Lu Qiushui's mind.

  "Ride a horse? Now? It's not good to engage in such intense exercise right after eating."

  Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment.

  Lu Qiushui's intention was clear to him, she just wanted him to be a temporary shield, it didn't matter much, but offending the four young masters for no reason didn't seem like a good idea.

  "Zhao big brother, let's go, we'll ride our horses at a small trot, no need to ride so fast."

  With a charming smile, Luo Qiushui said coquettishly.

  This smile, although not directed at Lu Yu, made him see it and his color and soul were affected, with a hint of being dazed. He hastily said: "Luo sister, he doesn't want to accompany you, I do, I'll accompany you horseback riding, ride however you like."

  Gu Wan Dao also had some intention, although he was a step behind Lu Yu, but he also spoke up, pretending to be casual and said: "Luo Shi sister, if you want to ride a horse, I can help, accompany you together."

  "I'm going too, I'm going too."

  Guān Fēng expressed his positive attitude.

  Among the four masters, Lü Yu was the most endearing, always speaking little and rarely expressing himself, especially when showing his devotion to Luo Qiushui, he was not as obvious as the other three.

  Three people took the initiative to ask for it, but Luo Qiushi didn't care at all. Instead, she went further and pulled Zhao Ji's arm, shaking it hard, continuing to coquettishly say: "Brother Zhao, are you going? Are you going?"

  "Alright, I'm going, you really scared me."

  Zhao Ji eventually agreed after not holding out for long.

  He never thought that a strong-willed woman like Luo Qiushui would be so charming when she acted coquettishly, it made his skin crawl with goosebumps, he couldn't bear it and had no choice but to agree.

  Then several people rode horses together, but at a relatively slow pace. It's more like walking the horse than riding it.

  In this process, the four masters have been devoted to Luo Qiushui, but her reaction is relatively cold. On the contrary, she seems very close to Zhao Ji.

  When several people dispersed, others were fine, but Zhao Ji clearly found that Lu Yu's gaze at himself was full of hatred, if a gaze could kill, he would have been riddled with holes long ago.

  Unconsciously, night has fallen, tonight the sky is starless, with only one bright moon shining down its brilliant light.

  The moon is brighter, but its light is not too strong, the dark shadows have been shrouding the night sky all along. When everyone was asleep, a faint shadow moved forward in the camp set up by the Luo family with a ghostly speed.

  That shadow, almost merged with the black night, moved at an extremely fast speed, flashing and flashing, advancing in the camp. Looking at its direction of advancement, it was clearly heading towards the two tents in the center of the camp.

  The two huge tents in the center of the camp, tall and magnificent, under the faint moonlight, were like bright lanterns guiding travelers through the darkness, so dazzling and conspicuous.

  Thousands of people in the Luo family camp were in a deep sleep, and they didn't even notice the entry of that black shadow. The black shadow sneaked into the vicinity of two huge tents.

  "Hmph, and yet it's the illustrious Luo family, one of the five great families of Four Square City. I didn't expect their vigilance to be so low, allowing me to infiltrate so easily."

  In front of a huge and magnificent tent, when entering, the black shadow turned its head to look at the quiet and silent camp, with a hint of disdain in its voice.

  The words were spoken, and the black shadow no longer hesitated. He drew out a dagger that was tucked at his waist and quietly entered the tent.

  "Ah!"

  "Not good, I've been tricked."

  A moment later, a loud and mournful cry suddenly rang out in the vast and quiet night sky. The black shadow that had entered the tent earlier rushed out of the tent at an extremely fast speed, not inferior to when it had sneaked into the camp.

  The dark figure rushed out at that moment with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had already left the tent several feet away. However, at this time, his footwork stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

  Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that one of the dark figure's feet is injured. The night-traveling clothes on its body are also covered with patches and dots of red marks, which should be bloodstains.

  "It's late at night, and you've intruded into the Luo residence. Your behavior is really too lowly. Since you're here, why don't you stay a bit longer?"

  With a clear voice, Luo Zhongshan's figure emerged from an ordinary tent and landed several meters in front of the black shadow after two leaps.

  The appearance of Luo Zhongshan was like a signal. Beside his tent, one by one, the tents were opened and people came out.

  According to Luo Zhongshan's plan, the two huge and luxurious tents in the middle of the camp were intended to attract "visitors" who might come at night. As for Luo Qiushui, Zhao Ji, and Luo Fu, they hid among many ordinary tents, huddled together, so that if there was any sudden situation, it would be convenient for them to respond to each other.

  Lu Zhongshan, Lu Qiushui, Zhao Ji, Luo Fu and Luo Qingyun gathered together, blocking the black shadow's escape route in front of them, not letting him leave.

  However, the task of taking down this black-clad man did not require them to take action. The camp was surrounded by the power of the Luo family on all sides, and with so many people, they were not worried that the black-clad man could escape.
