"What damned use is there in the Emperor employing people like that?" he demanded

He walked up to Wen's door"You Red Flower Society fugitives! Come out immediately!" he shoutedNo sound came from the roomHe kicked at the door and found it slightly ajar

"They've escaped!" he yelled, and burst into the room only to find it emptyHe noticed a lump under the bed covers, and flung them off, revealing two of Wu's officers lying face to faceHe prodded his sword lightly at the back of one of them but there was no movementHe turned them over and saw they were both deadBoth their skulls had been smashed inIt was obviously the work of a master of Internal Strength kung fu, and his respect for Wen Tailai increased appreciablyBut where was Wu? And in which http://www.culuxury.com/scategory_2_Chanel.html" target="_blank direction had Wen and his wife escaped? He called for one of the servants and interrogated him without obtaining even half a clue

But Zhang had guessed wrong: the officers were not killed by Wen Tailai

Lu and Yuanzhi watched the whole fight through the window, and saw Zhang enter as the officers were leaving

"That's the man who took the knapsack from me last night," Yuanzhi said

"Go quickly and draw him away, the further the better," Lu whispered"If I'm not here when you return, start out tomorrow without me and I will catch you up

He watched Zhang chase Yuanzhi out of the inn gates then picked up a writing brush and hurriedly wrote a letter which he placed inside his gownHe ran to Wen's room and knocked lightly on the door

"Who is http://www.ttluxury.com/scategory_28_Omega-Watches.html" target="_blank it?" a woman's voice called

"I am a good friend of 'Divine Knife' Luo," said Lu"I have important news for you

There was no answer from insideWu and the other two officers appeared and stood at a distance keeping watch, obviously suspicious of LuThe door suddenly opened and 'Scholar' Yu looked out

"May I ask who you are, sir?" he asked

"I am your martial uncle 'Hidden Needle' Lu

A look of hesitation appeared on Yu's faceHe had heard of Lu but had never met him

"I'll prove it to you," Lu whispered

Yu's suspicions deepened, and he planted his foot firmly on the opposite door post, blocking the way with his legLu's left hand shot out, aiming to hit Yu's shoulderYu dodged, and Lu slipped his right hand underneath Yu's armpit and pushed him to http://www.muluxury.com/scategory_7_Gucci.html" target="_blank one side using the first move in the Wudang school's Long Arm Fist style"It really is 'Hidden Needle' Lu!" Yu thought, both surprised and delightedAs Yu back, Luo Bing raised her sword and dagger ready to attack, but Yu stopped herLu waved his hands at them, indicating they should stand clear, then ran back outside into the courtyard

"Hey, they've gone!" he shouted to Officer Wu"Come and see!"

Wu rushed into the room with the other two officers and Lu closed the door behind them

Wu saw Yu and the others in the room and shouted frantically: "It's a trap!" But before the officers could turn, Lu's two fists smashed into their heads, shattering their skulls and killing them instantly

More quick-witted, Wu leapt onto the kang, and with both hands raised http://www.muluxury.com/search_0_0_0_balenciaga yellow_1.html" target="_blank to protect his head, threw himself at the windowWen Tailai, who was lying on the kang, sat up and struck out with his left fist, breaking Wu's right shoulder with a sharp crackWu wavered, but steadied himself against the wall with his left foot, then broke through the window and escapedLuo Bing launched a throwing knife after him which lodged itself in his backBut he ignored the pain, and fled for his life

Yu and Luo Bing no longer harboured any suspicions about Lu, and they both bowed before him

"Uncle Lu, please forgive me for not being able to pay my respects to you properly," Wen said from the kang

"There's no need," said LuHe looked at Luo Bing"What is your relationship with 'Divine Knife' Luo?" he asked

"He was a very good friend of mine," Lu http://www.culuxury.com/scategory_25_Gucci-Watches.html" target="_blank sa
