Chapter 283: The Mountain Man Has His Own Trick
For a while, the three of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a little more dull.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?
Xiao Shulan and Zhou Feng, even if they are the children of top wealthy and powerful people, are not unscrupulous people whose lives are like mustard.
Hot-blooded young people, there is still beauty in their hearts, yearning for chivalry and righteousness, and happiness and revenge.
But when such a tragic thing happened, even a behemoth like the Xiao family was helpless, let alone an individual!
"Wait!"
Zhou Feng poured down a glass of wine, raised his hand suddenly, and said thoughtfully, "You said before that the tragedy happened for the second time eleven years ago, and the Xiao family was powerless to investigate, could it be because of the case in the south?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the side of the guide.
Lu Chuan was surprised.
You must know that this is already deep into the Nanjiang River, after the Canglan River, and even the periphery of the 100,000 mountains.
But Zhou Feng still wants to point south, what else can the south do to affect a top wealthy family like the Xiao family?
"Hmm!"
Xiao Shulan's head drooped slightly, seeing that Lu Chuan was puzzled, she smiled and said, "Brother Lu is not an outsider, is it necessary for you to hide it on Tuesday?"
"I ......"
Zhou Feng was blocked and couldn't speak for a while, and was about to explain, but was interrupted.
"Brother Lu doesn't pay attention to him, businessman, forgetting righteousness when he sees profit, it's a common thing!"
Xiao Shulan seized the opportunity and spared no effort to strike.
"Xiao Shulan, you don't spew blood here, I just didn't think about the key for a while, for fear of misleading Brother Lu!"
Zhou Feng explained with a red face.
"Hmph, who knows what you think?"
Xiao Shulan didn't know what the suspicion was with Zhou Feng, obviously they were in the same boat and had a great relationship, but they just seized the opportunity and fell into the well.
It seems that I would be happy to see Zhou Feng lose face.
"I won't tell you more, anyway, Brother Lu understands me!"
Zhou Feng knew that he was inferior, and he couldn't argue with Xiao Shulan, so he immediately asked Lu Chuan for help, and said with hope in his eyes, "Yes, Brother Lu!"
"You can't talk nonsense!"
Lu Chuan waved his hand again and again, blinking meaningfully.
"Huh, I didn't expect you to be such a Brother Lu!"
Zhou Fengjun's face fell, and he suddenly poured wine for Lu Chuan happily.
"What are you talking about?"
This time, it was Xiao Shulan, blinking her bright eyes, not knowing what to do.
"Haha!"
Lu Chuan and Zhou Feng looked at each other and smiled.
"Hmph, stinky man!"
Xiao Shulan's face flushed, she took a sip, turned her face and said, "Since you are full of filthy thoughts, just forget it if you don't want to hear it!"
"Hey, hey!"
Zhou Feng smiled proudly, not caring much.
Lu Chuan couldn't ignore it, so he had to pour the wine himself, and said apologetically: "Miss Xiao, forgive me, I reunited with Brother Zhou after a long absence, and on a whim, I offended the girl, and I apologize here!"
Say goodbye, drink it all down to apologize!
Xiao Shulan was unmoved, her beautiful eyes looked at the river, and she seemed to be attracted by some beautiful scenery.
"Ahem!"
Seeing this, Lu Chuan didn't know where the problem was, so he immediately said, "It turns out that I have no long things on my body on this trip, and I happen to need Miss Xiao's help to replace some things outside my body in case of emergency."
If it is convenient for Miss Xiao, please help me a little more. ”
The cost of asking for people and being asked for is naturally different.
Although he already understood the whole story, Lu Chuan didn't want to offend Xiao Shulan, even if he was a little unhappy before, he didn't want to pursue it anymore.
It's not that I'm afraid of the Xiao family, but what this woman did seemed to have a deep meaning everywhere and aroused his interest.
Although there are a lot of troubles on this trip, there is nothing more to do, and it is the right to adjust daily life!
"Brother Lu......"
Zhou Fengjun's face fell, as if he was mourning, and he looked at Lu Chuan.
Now, my intestines are about to turn green.
Knowing this, he didn't provoke Xiao Shulan, and those treasures would have a chance to pass through his hands.
"It's a long time, not a moment!"
Lu Chuan said with a smile.
"Hey!"
Zhou Feng sighed, didn't dwell on it anymore, and borrowed the slope to get down the donkey's road, "Speaking of which, eleven years ago, there was a shocking case in Nanjiang. ”
Lu Chuan frowned slightly.
can make the children of top elites like Zhou Feng secretive, calling it a shocking case, most of which involves the existence of the top level of the Great Jin.
Sure enough.
"Now that Brother Lu has also been in the capital for a short time, he must know that there are east, west, north and south, and the four major towns and border military princes!"
Zhou Feng saw Lu Chuan nodding, and said in a quiet tone, "Then Brother Lu, do you know that in today's Great Jin, there are only two veins left, the King of Zhenxi and the King of Zhendong?"
Lu Chuan's pupils shrank and shook his head silently.
Although he knew Zhu Shengnan, the county lord of Zhenxi Wangfu, and also knew about the existence of the four major town border military princes, he did not deliberately inquire.
After all, there are not many interests involved between the two sides, and there are no grudges and entanglements.
But the people around him didn't seem to talk about the four major towns, that is, Zhu Shengnan, the lord of Zhenxi Wang, who has been active in Shangjing.
In this year's martial arts academy examination, there was another branch of Yang Lun next to the Zhendong Wangfu, and the other two didn't hear much about it.
Now that I think about it, I either didn't know about it, or I deliberately avoided the topic.
And the strange thing is that Lu Chuan, as a frontier person, has never heard of the deeds of the king of Zhenbei.
"The king of Zhenbei, as early as a few decades ago, the grassland once entered the Kouzhong, and the whole clan died, and he was loyal to the country!"
Zhou Feng seemed to fall into memory, looking at the north from afar, his eyes were far away, and he said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, this Zhenbei King is in the same vein, and Brother Lu is still his own family!"
"Huh!"
Lu Chuan shook his head with a smile, and said lightly, "My Lu family in Liushu Village, six or seven generations, all have genealogical ancestral graves to be found, and the king of Zhenbei is a hero in the world, and I can't afford to climb it!"
"Brother Lu, don't underestimate yourself!"
Xiao Shulan took over the conversation, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "The big family, which family doesn't have a few side branches? Maybe, the elder brother of the Lu family may really have something to do with the Zhenbei Wang's lineage!"
"Huh!"
Lu Chuan shook his head with a wry smile, and waved his hand again and again, "I don't have the habit of finding an ancestor for myself!"
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, the two didn't get entangled in this matter.
As a friend, making innocuous jokes is nothing.
But to entangle this kind of thing, to say that it is light is to say that it is shallow and deep, and to say that it is serious is to plot evil.
After all, King Zhenbei is not joking.
To this day, the imperial court has not withdrawn the title of the king of Zhenbei, which shows the trust of the prince of the military on the border of the town.
In this day and age, there is no such thing as self-respect.
Every prince and marquis is a real achievement, a real sword and a real gun, and he fought for the lives of countless sons.
"Hah!"
Zhou Feng snorted, and changed his words, "Now in the north, the Han family is becoming more and more powerful, and it has gradually replaced the position of the Zhenbei Wang Yimai in the border army, and it has been many years, so Brother Lu doesn't know these secrets, and it's nothing."
And the king of Zhenxi is the main family, Brother Lu must know something.
The king of Zhendong is the Yang family, and the ancestor is the righteous son of the founding ancestor, and he is specially given the emperor's surname to show his grace and trust, and he will rest with the country.
As for the king of Zhennan, it is the Mu family. ”
Lu Chuan listened carefully, squinted his eyes, and knew that the key was coming.
"And eleven years ago, the Mu family was wiped out overnight!"
Xiao Shulan took the words, took a sip of wine, and said with a faint look in her eyes, "You know, Mu Wangfu is not far from my Xiao family, only thousands of miles away."
But beforehand, my Xiao family didn't hear any rumors, so I was unprepared when I knew about it.
It was precisely because of this that I had to let go, and I hurried to the place where King Mu's mansion was located when there were some clues about the disappearance of the baby just now.
It's a pity that what I saw was a scorched earth, ruins and broken walls, corpses everywhere, up and down the Mu Wangfu, from the prince and princess to the young children who were waiting to be fed, none of them survived. ”
The two young children of the top magnates, their faces were dark and uncertain at this time, and they seemed to be sad about the tragedy.
Although it has been a long time, with their age, it is impossible to witness it with their own eyes.
But just by a few words in the dossier, it was enough to feel what a tragic situation the Mu Wangfu was at that time.
When Lu Chuan heard it at this time, a tragic picture like hell involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"I heard that among the top wealthy families, there may be a strong grandmaster, and Mu Wangfu ended up like this, and only a few forces in the world could do it.
Even if the people of Mu Wangfu are dead, and the person who started gestures to all the heads and tails, it shouldn't be difficult to lock on to the target, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shulan and Zhou Feng glanced at each other and were silent for a while.
Just when Lu Chuan thought that there was something hidden involved in this, which made the two of them taboo, Xiao Shulan spoke.
"According to uncertain news rumors, this matter was done by someone from the Martial Alliance!"
"Isn't it?"
Lu Chuan subconsciously denied it.
With his understanding of the Wu Alliance, although this force has been working against the imperial court, even against all wealthy families, it has never acted in a big way.
What's more, it's such an earth-shattering thing.
"To be honest, it's really possible that this matter was done by the Wu Alliance!"
Zhou Feng nodded, and said earnestly, "Brother Lu, I know that you have something to do with the Wumeng, but remember not to get involved too deeply, otherwise you will ...... I'm afraid I'm going to burn myself!"
"Ahem!"
Xiao Shulan seemed to be drinking too much, and coughed lightly with some discomfort.
Lu Chuan didn't seem to realize it, nodded and said, "You still don't know me, from the frontier to the capital, how many people from the Martial Alliance have I killed?"
Up to now, Wu Meng doesn't know how many people want my head, and they will be rewarded for their merits!"
"Haha, Brother Lu knows the severity, I understand!"
Zhou Feng did not mention Yang Xiu'e, even with the power he controlled, it was enough to know many of Yang Xiu'e's movements.
"Okay, with all that to say, it's time to get down to business!"
Xiao Shulan clapped her hands, her eyes were bright, and she said, "Listen to Brother Lu's intentions, this time I went south, most of which was to find He Jin's bad luck."
This Jiangnan hero, who is known as the righteous Bo Yuntian, is now in the Jiangnan generation, and his chivalrous reputation is spread far and wide.
On this 80th birthday, some people even came from the north, and the Feiyun Villa the day after tomorrow can be described as full of guests and friends, and heroes gathered.
It's not easy for Brother Lu to deal with such an old fox who is cunning and has great fame and protection!"
"Not bad!"
Zhou Feng nodded approvingly.
"Hey! ”
Lu Chuan lowered his head and chuckled, looking at the two of them quite uncomfortable, which was the only meaningful way to say, "However, you still need two people to help!"
