The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 93: Saving Lu Xiuyu
Lu Xiuyu was lying limp with his body tied to a rope. Closing her eyes, she tried to move her body. But after he regained consciousness, Lu Xiuyu recalled that a warrior had kidnapped him and told his father to atone for his life by covenanting the leadership of Cunfei City to the Noble Gu.
The quiet night and he was in the forest, the presence of the five warriors who came to meet the swordsman who caught him made Lu Xiuyu frightened.
‘Father please Xiuxiu!’ Lu Xiuyu cried because he could not help his fear.
“We wait for the submission letter from Lu Hen, then our problem is finished. But it's a pity this little girl we give back.” The grandmaster who captured Lu Xiuyu smiled smirked.
“We kill Lu Hen and arrest his wife. Criminals like us might be satisfied with just a spoiled brat like this. At least we take this child's mother to Sunyi Valley.” The swordsman stepped on Lu Xiuyu's stomach. Despite not using the inner energy, Lu Xiuyu still felt pain.
“Alright Senior, now we just have to wait for the arrival of Lu Hen.” One of the five warriors explained to the great swordsman in case of a commotion at Batu Dinding Restaurant.
“It looks like they are not part of the Lu Family, so take it easy. After all we should take advantage of the opportunities of people who have ambitions like Noble Gu.” The grandmaster did not respond too much to the explanation of the swordsman who told the incident at Batu Dinding Restaurant.
The atmosphere in the forest was very calm, the sound of swaying bushes sounded. Lu Xiuyu hoped that it was not his father and mother because the six warriors who caught him were intent on trapping him.
Lu Xiuyu thrashed, before long the shadow of a young man appeared. Lu Xiuyu's eyes stared intently at the unfamiliar young man's shadow in his eyes. Her tears flowed profusely as she recognized the young man so well.
“Who are you?! Are you the swordsman guarding the Lu Family?!” The great warrior who captured Lu Xiuyu approached the young man while drawing his sword.
“Senior, that's it..” Five warriors pointed at the young man.
“One great warrior and five king warriors. Not bad.” That young man was none other than Jing Yang. After following the footsteps of the five Black Pillar Tower warriors, he finally discovered Lu Xiuyu's whereabouts.
“Can release him? And tell me why a black stream like you helped Noble Gu?” Jing Yang walked up to the great swordsman without fear.
“What did this boy say? Why is he acting so cool like a hero?!” The great warrior swung his sword aiming at Jing Yang's chest.
“At last ended in violence..” Jing Yang cultivated his breathing and dodged the attack before using the power of the Dragon Eye Mark.
“More or less I know the outline. Noble Gu intended to weaken the strength of the other four nobles. Although I am not surnamed Jiang, but my late mother was surnamed Jiang. Subconsciously you guys are dealing with me..” Jing Yang drew his two swords and directly attacked the great swordsman who had attacked him.
“What the heck..”
The great swordsman who swung his sword was shocked when he saw Jing Yang reach the earth swordsman. Not yet had he had time to figure out the situation he had just seen and experienced, Jing Yang had slashed his stomach deeply.
Jing Yang again moved to attack the four warriors who were sculpting. It did not take long for him to finish off the four warriors who had just reached the king swordsman, but one swordsman managed to move and threaten Lu Xiuyu.
“Do not move! Or he'll die!” Speak the swordsman. His sword coiled around Lu Xiuyu's neck.
Jing Yang looked at Lu Xiuyu's paled face, “Try to hurt him, even if you can hurt him.” Jing Yang used the force of gravitational pressure and concentrated gravity on one point: the swordsman who threatened Lu Xiuyu.
“Do you not care..” The swordsman shouted then fell silent because his hands did not move, even his body felt heavy, “What happened?”
Jing Yang approached the swordsman who was holding Lu Xiuyu hostage. Then he saved Lu Xiuyu from the warrior's grip. After the cloth that had stuffed his mouth and the rope that bound his body came apart, Lu Xiuyu immediately clenched Jing Yang's body.
“Yang gege I'm scared!” Lu Xiuyu's body trembled violently.
Jing Yang rubbed Lu Xiuyu's hair slowly, “Close your eyes for a while.” Gently Jing Yang said and reciprocated a head nod by Lu Xiuyu.
Jing Yang instantly finished off the swordsman who was sculpting due to the pressure of gravity. Before telling Lu Xiuyu to open his eyes, Jing Yang picked up some letters and items that were on the swordsman's sixth robe.
‘Gufei City? This name is not foreign.’ Jing Yang directly put all the belongings of the six swordsmen into the God Ring.
Then Jing Yang pulled out a large sword and patted Lu Xiuyu on the shoulder.
“Open your eyes..” Jing Yang directly carried Lu Xiuyu flying towards Cunfei City.
Lu Xiuyu tightly hugged Jing Yang as she was still traumatized by what she had just experienced. Lu Xiuyu looked hard to say words, his lips twitched but Jing Yang found out if the little girl who was two years younger than him wanted to say something to him.
Jing Yang headed straight to Lu Xiuyu's residence to explain the situation to Lu Hen.
“If you hadn't come to save me, maybe I.” Lu Xiuyu was unable to speak much other than returning to tears. Jing Yang stroked Lu Xiuyu's hair to calm him down.
“Already, already. Don't cry anymore, they haven't done anything to you, have they?” Lu Xiuyu nodded at Jing Yang's question.
Arriving at the residence of the Mayor of Cunfei City, Jing Yang escorted Lu Xiuyu into the luxurious house. There were some guards who had been killed, when Lu Xiuyu opened the door of the house. It was seen Lu Hen and Lu Xiulan crying to see his only child return safely.
“Xiuxiu!” Lu Hen held onto Lu Xiuyu's body until he forgot about Jing Yang's whereabouts.
“Xiuxiu, thank goodness you are fine..” Lu Xiulan also hugged Lu Xiuyu's body.
“Dad, mother. Lucky there was a gege who saved me!” Lu Xiuyu cried quite loudly.
Jing Yang took a deep breath when he saw Lu Hen and Lu Xiulan looking at him. He was confused what to behave because the atmosphere in this residence was very moving.
“Yang Yang, I mean Young Master Jing Yang? That Young Master Jing Yang isn't it?” Lu Hen held onto Jing Yang's shoulder and led him into the room.
Jing Yang opened his mouth but not a single word came out. He followed Lu Hen and listened to the explanation about the Mayor of Cunfei City who belonged to the Lu Family section.
“Coup and the spread of news about some nobles who had been involved with Prince Jiang Feng made Noble Gu act.”.
Lu Hen recounted that the Head of the Lu Family and the father of Lu Hen were captured by black warriors in collaboration with the Gu Nobles. A few weeks ago, Nobles Gu had already made a move to weaken the other four noble families, but the one they were targeting was Nobles Lu.
“My mother has been killed, and my father has been arrested. If I report this incident to the other nobles, then the lives of my father and brothers will be threatened.”.
Lu Hen was trying to find a way out, but it was difficult to find him because of the intimidation that Nobles Gu had put in. The Lu Family's main source of wealth was the gold mines that existed in the Golden Forest. Noble Gu was eyeing the Lu Family's source of wealth along with several black-flow sects.
“Uncle Hen, I can help you. But on one condition. I am currently forming a new organization called the Five Color House. Sooner or later, the Five Color House will stand in Cunfei City. So I want you to help round up all the orphans in this town and don't let any of them become abandoned.”.
Jing Yang said his wish was to make a place to go home. He realized how painful it was to be an orphan, so he wanted to help all the children who had the same fate as him.
“Checking from one city to another to collect orphans and care for them. I will become Emperor Jiang one day, and it's a condition I give my grandfather to help me do this.” Jing Yang smiled to tell her wish, “If anyone is in trouble, I want to help and save them. So I hope Uncle Hen can help me.”.
Lu Hen was amazed to hear Jing Yang's wish. Although he was young and his desire sounded innocent, but the thing he did was very noble. This whole life was only the first time Lu Hen had heard of such glorious dreams and desires that he was ashamed of feeling defeated by Jing Yang's determination.
“Young Master Jing Yang, I will help you..” Lu Hen was touched until he answered briefly.
‘I want to be one of your travel witnesses Young Master Jing Yang.’ Lu Hen said in his heart. Then he ordered Jing Yang to spend the night in the room that had been provided.
That night Lu Hen told him everything he knew about his family matters and the Golden Forest. Even he told Jing Yang that the residence of the Gu Nobles was in Gufei City, a city close to Shendu City.
There were rumors that Gufei City had undergone many changes since Family Head Gu changed.
“I will invite some of my acquaintances to bury the fallen guard. Sleep in this room, Young Master Jing Yang.” Lu Hen said ending the conversation.
Jing Yang closed the door of the room after Lu Hen told him many things he wanted to know, then he meditated to meet the two Sword Spirits. Until midnight, Jing Yang tried to communicate with Lingling and Yue Wang. Until he finally laid his body on the soft bed, after having his eyes closed before the door of the room opened, Lu Xiuyu went into Jing Yang's room and laid his body right beside Jing Yang.
“Yang gege, I'm afraid.” Lu Xiuyu hugged Jing Yang's body. The little girl could not sleep because she still remembered clearly how the residence guard died and she was taken hostage.
Lu Xiuyu did not understand why looking at Jing Yang, he felt calm. In the end he observed Jing Yang's two closed eyes.
After a while he hugged Jing Yang, Lu Xiuyu finally fell asleep beside Jing Yang.
‘Just make him scared. I ended up sleeping here..’ Jing Yang said in his heart and opened his eyes. Then she looked at Lu Xiuyu for quite a while before shedding her tears and falling asleep.
