Man's dream is a very magical and at the same time very mysterious existence, and I don't know how many brilliant characters throughout the ages have wanted to explain it, from different angles and different points of view, but so far there is no convincing answer.

Xu Chen has always paid little attention to dreams, especially these nightmares, at most, he scolded after waking up, and then naturally turned around and went to sleep.

But this time, the nightmare was clearly different!

Have you ever seen a nightmare that comes on time for months, every seven days on time, and it is more punctual than a woman's menstrual affairs, and the content is different at the same time, and the pictures and scenes are connected like a drama. Especially in the past month, the frequency of this dream has become higher and higher, and the pictures in the dream have become clearer and clearer, and those blood-red figures have faded away from the layer of blood mist shrouded in their bodies, and have become more and more solid.

At this point, Xu Chen will not be able to realize that he has been targeted, and the other party seems to be gradually accurate about his location, and he is getting closer and closer! This is also the reason why Xu Chen did not leave Yuzhang to go to Yangzhou to take charge of the matter, since the other party did not find it directly, but is constantly accurate about his location, it means that the other party is very likely to be unable to directly confirm his location, so it is very likely that he is looking around, constantly eliminating the location where he may be saved. For this reason, Xu Chen decided that "it is better to be still than to be still", so he simply waited in Yuzhang City, and at the same time tried every means to enhance his own strength, although he didn't know if it could play a role, but it was impossible for Xu Chen to be arrested.

There is really no way to wait for the rabbit like this, after all, Xu Chen really doesn't have a clue about these mysterious characters.

And if it weren't for the extraordinary ability of Abbot Huoneng that day, Xu Chen learned the other side of this strange and familiar world. Even if Xu Chen had doubts about these dreams, he didn't know how to think about them at all, after all, this thing was too mysterious.

But now, he can't be suspicious anymore, and the crisis is really close to him......

However, it was said that after Wan Shijun sent Luo Bin to make some contact that day, there were more and more lists of farmland sold in Yaxing all over Yuzhang City.

The cash in Lu Zongbao's hands is getting less and less, a few days ago, the eldest brother Lu Zongtai met a bold businessman and took over all the properties of the Lu family at a fairly good price. Of course, this so-called good is only compared to the desperate situation of the two Lu brothers now.

But despite this, the money in exchange is now gradually running out.

Finally, at noon one day, the housekeeper Lao Lu ran to see Lu Zongbao in despair, and announced in a trembling voice the result that had long been tacitly understood and would appear: "Childe, let's ...... We're out of money!"

Lu Zongbao was speechless for a long time, his face became more and more pale, and after a long time, he laughed loudly and bitterly: "Hahahaha!

The housekeeper Lao Lu was startled by his son's crazy appearance like a seriously injured beast, and took a few steps back, and said in panic: "Father...... Childe, you ......"

Lu Zongbao would not pay attention to this person at this time, accompanied by miserable and crazy laughter, strode out of the door and walked away.

"Zhou Gang!" Lu Zongbao shouted loudly before he stepped into the gate of the Zhou Mansion.

The concierge of the Zhou family had seen Lu Zongbao and knew his identity. For this reason, seeing his crazy appearance, he just asked the soldiers guarding in front of the mansion to wait, but he did not directly step forward to drive away.

"I don't know what is the important matter for Lu Gongzi to find the head of the family?" asked the porter lightly, but his body stopped in the center of the gate, but suddenly there was a momentum like Shen Yuan Jingyue, I never thought that this ordinary gatekeeper in front of the Zhou Mansion was actually a master.

It's just that at this time, Lu Zongbao completely lost his previous acuity, didn't notice it, and just shouted angrily: "Get out! Go and call Zhou Gang out!"

The porter frowned slightly, hesitating what to do, but after a moment, the door behind him was open.

But it was the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion who heard about the chaos at the door and rushed over.

The butler nodded to the porter, and the porter stepped aside. So, the housekeeper faced Lu Zongbao and said, "I don't know what happened when the second son is here?"

After so long, he still didn't see Zhou Gang, Lu Zongbao was anxious in his heart, and scolded loudly: "Don't be wordy! Take me to see Zhou Gang!

The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion obviously knew more, and when he heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then turned sideways, let the debut, and stretched out his hand to lead: "Second son, please!"

Lu Zongbao grabbed the road and walked forward quickly, and the butler of the Zhou Mansion followed closely behind.

In the study of Zhou's mansion, Zhou Gang was holding a thick brush and swaying on the snow-white rice paper, Zhou Gang's handwriting was naturally not very good, but it had a unique momentum in it.

"General Zhou is really so elegant!" Lu Zongbao rushed in without waiting for the housekeeper to pass through, and saw at a glance that Zhou Gang, a five-year-old and three-thick soldier, was actually learning from the literati and spilling ink, and that strange appearance made Lu Zongbao feel funny, and the anger in his heart suddenly stagnated, so he blurted out angrily.

Zhou Gang didn't hear it, finished writing the last few strokes by himself, stopped leisurely, grabbed a towel next to the desk, wiped his hands, and then bypassed the desk and sat down on the main seat.

The housekeeper who followed slightly bowed down and confessed his guilt, and after seeing Zhou Gang sitting down, he hurriedly stepped forward to replace the tea cup that had been cold, and naturally prepared one for Lu Zongbao.

Zhou Gang raised his hand to signal, Lu Zongbao saw this, snorted lightly, and sat down in the first place, Zhou Gang picked up the tea cup and said to Lu Zongbao: "The new tea just picked in the Zhuangzi, the second son might as well try it." ”

After speaking, he drank it by himself, and now in Yuzhang City, this kind of "clear drink" method from Xu Chen has gradually spread in the upper class, compared to the sweet and sour, mixed tea drinking method, this light bitterness with sweetness can make the fragrance of tea more vividly displayed.

Xu was infected by Zhou Gang's calm expression, and Lu Zongbao gradually calmed down, grabbed the tea cup on the table, and drank it quietly.

After a long time, Lu Zongbao put down the tea cup in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled softly: "The tea is good!"

During this time of drinking tea, Lu Zongbao has completely calmed down and regained his former self-confidence, and under the crisis of life and death, unnecessary feelings such as anxiety and anger are useless.

Zhou Gang looked at Lu Zongbao's former glow and smiled slightly.

Zhou Gang did write in the study just now, but naturally he didn't do it like this, the reason why it was so was just to calm Lu Zongbao's mood. Zhou Gang is a decisive person, since he has decided to stand on Lu Zongbao's side, and he can't find a means to push back or counteract, he will only accept it calmly. At the same time, he is also a good general! Since he is ready to make a move, the momentum before the war is very important, and the morale is like a rainbow and he can naturally move forward with courage and courage. And if even Lu Zongbao, a key figure, is in a state of anxiety and indignation, then where will they have a chance of winning this battle? Speaking of which, Zhou Gang really has a high opinion of Lu Zongbao.

"When will you do it?" Seeing that Lu Zongbao had calmed down, Zhou Gang asked straight to the point.

Lu Zongbao was so angry and corrupt to find it, naturally it was time to see the poor dagger, Zhou Gang was a soldier, and his vigorous and resolute style carried out all of his all.

"Three days later!" Lu Zongbao replied.

Zhou Gang frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and said, "So late?"

Lu Zongbao smiled and said: "I also understand the truth of the speed of soldiers, but in three days, there will be a batch of newly built sea ships in Hongzhou Shipyard, and at that time, the merchants in Wuyue Town will gather, and there are so many meat tickets, won't we have more chips in our hands?"

Zhou Gang was not surprised, and he had already guessed about Lu Zongbao's target, and Wu Yue Town, a unique storage in Yuzhang County, was naturally the most suitable target for attack.

"How to do it, General Liberty has full discretion, if you need to help, you should do everything you can!" Lu Zongbao said.

Zhou Gang nodded slowly and said, "The teacher is famous, I need a name!"

Lu Zongbao smiled and said: "This is natural! The water bandits on Poyang Lake are not limited to Changshan Island, there will always be people who see the money, and when Wuyue Town is in trouble, it is natural that the general needs to send troops to rescue." ”

"Okay, then it's up to the second son!" Zhou Gang said.

Since Lu Zongbao has come down, then it is his business, whether it is coercion or inducement, it must not be difficult for the two brothers of the Lu family to lure a group of rogues to Wuyue Town.

The two then discussed some specific matters, and Lu Zongbao got up and left.

Just now, Lu Zongbao was anxious to go in anger, but he came on horseback, and now that his mind has calmed down, the way back is naturally not too anxious.

When Lu Zongbao drove home slowly, he saw the housekeeper Lao Lu looking anxiously at the door of the mansion like an ant on a hot pot.

"Second son, second son is back!" shouted a sharp-eyed housekeeper beside the housekeeper Lao Lu excitedly.

Lao Lu hurriedly looked back, but it was Lu Zongbao who came on horseback.

"Second son, where have you been!, but the old slave is in a hurry to death!" the housekeeper Lao Lu had obvious cries in his voice, and now the Lu family has reached a critical moment, relying on the support of the brothers Lu Zongbao and Lu Zongtai. The old housekeeper is no better than other subordinates, it is the old man who followed the brothers all the way to Yuzhang from Fan Yang, and there is no way to go except the Lu family, so he is naturally loyal.

Lu Zongbao smiled apologetically and said, "Fang was uneasy, so I went around the city, but now I feel much better!"

"That's good! That's good! You're scared to death just now!" said the butler, relieved.

Lu Zongbao dismounted, handed the reins to the subordinates on the side, and walked towards the gate with a gentle smile and the housekeeper Lao Lu. Along the way, the demeanor is still the same, but it makes people feel a lot more relaxed when they hear some news recently, after all, it is always a good thing for them that the main family has fallen.

"Find! Fuck me out to find it! If you don't get the second son back, don't come back!"

Lu Zongbao's heart warmed, and he walked quickly to the hall.

"Big brother!"

With the voice, Lu Zongbao walked in.

"Zongbao!" Lu Zongtai was overjoyed to see his younger brother return safely, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his younger brother's arms, and asked anxiously, "Where have you been? Are you going to kill your eldest brother in a hurry?"

"I'm sorry! It's my little brother's!" Lu Zongbao solemnly apologized.

"Alas, forget it!" Lu Zongtai shook his head and sighed when he saw this.

"Get ready, go out with me!" Lu Zongtai said immediately.

"Where are you going?"

"Uncle Wang!"

Lu Zongbao paused for a moment before responding: "Okay!"

The two brothers went out, got in a carriage, and drove to the Taishou's mansion.

Half an hour later, the two entered Wang Xian's mansion.

In the study, the two brothers of the Lu family and Wang Xian sat quietly, looking at each other without saying a word.

After a long time, Wang Xian sighed and said: "Things have come to this point, and it is forced to make such a choice on the side of this family! After all, Chang'an is the foundation of our family, if we don't defend ourselves and let Wan Dezhao make trouble, the loss will be so great that we can't afford it!"

"Hehe, my uncle loves his family a lot!" Lu Zongbao said.

"Zong Bao shut up! If Uncle Wang doesn't care about our life and death, how can he hand over Zhou Gang's shortcomings to us!" Lu Zongtai scolded, but there was also dissatisfaction with Wang Xian's inaction in recent days.

Wang Xian smiled bitterly a few times and said: "You also know how much energy the old man, Lord Taishou, has in Yuzhang City, and now in this situation, how can I, the empty Taishou, be able to influence it?"

Seeing that Wang Xian still had prevarication in his words at this time, Lu Zongbao said angrily: "Uncle must have forgotten that those people in this family have even given up you, the eldest son of the Taiyuan Wang family! Or, is it possible that my uncle thinks that as long as you don't do anything, with the righteousness of the imperial court, those people in the Wanjia family will not do anything to you, right?"

At this point, even Lu Zongtai lost the meaning of concealment, and just sat quietly, waiting for Wang Xian's answer.

Wang Xian looked at the two brothers in the room, and after a long time, he asked helplessly, "What do you want to do, what do you want me to do?"

The first question is that now that things have come to this point, what else can the two brothers of the Lu family do to recover, but the second question is that Wang Xian wants to clarify what role the two need to play in it.

As an official, Wang Xian's field is also desolate. Originally, with his own talent and ability, coupled with the background of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Xian would be prosperous no matter where he went to be this feudal official. But in this Yuzhang City, there is a family whose strength is not inferior to any of the seven sects and five surnames, and the control of Yuzhang City is almost pervasive, which greatly limits the power of Wang Xian, the Taishou, so that now, it is so weak that he has no ability to fight back.

However, Wang Xian has reached middle age, and he has long passed the years of his passionate youth, so it is impossible for him to gamble his life for this slim hope. What's more, as Lu Zongbao said, he is the imperial court's imperial court's imperial court's Yuzhang Taishou and Jiangnan Xidao interview and disposal envoy, as long as he doesn't excessively provoke Yuzhang's local wealthy families, these people will naturally not risk being tracked down by the imperial court and are bound to put themselves to death. To put it irresponsibly, Wang Xian is now less than sixty, even if he does not have the slightest achievement in Yuzhang, with the background of the Wang family, the big deal is to adjust to other places, Wang Xian can still continue to be his feudal official.

With such thoughts, Wang Xian is actually equivalent to abandoning the two brothers of the Lu family, and this kind of action is the same as the original decision of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames to give up all of them.

The family is ruthless, and these old officials are no better!

After listening to Wang Xian's question, the two brothers of the Lu family glanced at each other, and then Lu Zongbao spoke: "Uncle only needs to issue an order for General Zhou Gang and Zhou to assist in the defense of Wuyue Town!"

"Are you going to attack Wu Yuezhen?" Wang Xian said in surprise, and immediately thought about it but was relieved, and now, the two brothers of the Lu family have not many choices. Wu Yue Zhen is undoubtedly the best one.

Wang Xian didn't ask about the specific plans of the two, took out a pen and paper, and wrote it on the desk, and after a while, an official document was written, and after being stamped with Wang Xian's big seal, this official document had formal effect, legal and reasonable effect.

Wang Xian called the two of them to come this time, in fact, in order to comfort the two and see if there was any possibility of stopping, and he did not have the idea of trying to make peace with the two of them and the Wan family, at least to save the lives of the two brothers, after all, although Wang Xian made the choice that most bureaucrats would inevitably make, but in fact, he really valued the two brothers of the Lu family.

But now it seems that the Wan family has no intention of letting the two go, and the two brothers of the Lu family also have no idea of stopping. In this way, Wang Xian didn't have the heart to say much, and said a few hastily: "Take care." After that, let the housekeeper send off the guests.

The two left Wang Xian's mansion and were speechless on the way back......

said that while the two sides of the battle were making the final struggle for the final fate, Xu Chen was also waiting for the arrival of hope to save himself.

However, there was still no news from Wanjia, but the teenagers who had been away from home for many days had all rushed back from other places in the past two days.

For a while, the teenagers laughed and laughed in the small courtyard.

"Third brother, fourth brother, you are back!" The happiest thing is Xiao Shi, because whether it is the third king Tie Niu or the old Zhou Kang, when they bring back a huge amount of money, they naturally prepare a unique gift for everyone.

For this reason, the gift is naturally excited to get a soft little stone.

"Stone, you know Tie Niu and Zhou Kang, can't you forget me!" Zheng Tai on the side scolded with a smile.

"How could it be?" Shi Lei smirked.

"Third brother, fourth brother, and Brother Tai! What about Yingying's gift?" Lu Ying's mouth was obviously much smarter than Xiaoshi's, and none of them fell.

"Yes, yes, yes, all of them are loaded for you in the back! There are all in those cars!" The three of them saw the lovely Lu Ying, and they were naturally generous!

What's more, the teenagers are really not bad for money now!

"Big brother, everyone is back!" Lu Hao asked meaningfully.

"Yes, they're all back!" The smile on Xu Chen's face was a hint of loneliness in joy, as well as a deep sadness......
