That night, Nan Kongqian asked the accompanying guards to stay in the inn near the City Lord's Mansion, while he himself stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, firstly to see if he could help Lu Feiyang's funeral, and secondly, because the old city lord Lu Ming was unwell, thinking that if there was any accident, he could also lend a helping hand in time.

But Lu Ming and Lu Feiye didn't think so, according to the palace guards, all the guards in Nankong Qian stayed in the nearest inn outside the City Lord's Mansion, and when Nankong Qian was guarding in the City Lord's Mansion, they all felt a little scared in their hearts.

"Dad, Brother Qian, is he really that kind of person?" Lu Feiye asked Lu Ming with some doubts, as if he didn't believe that Nan Kong Qian would be the kind of person who fell into the well and plotted against him, he had always felt that Nan Kong Qian was a good person.

"People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and Nankong is the young city lord of Gangneung City, you can't treat him as an ordinary person. Lu Ming said slowly, his complexion was very ugly, and the whole person looked very weak and haggard.

"Daddy, what are we going to do now?"

As soon as Lu Feiye asked this question, Lu Ming couldn't help but close his eyes exhaustedly, "Now that your brother has passed away, and you are still young, what about your father, and your body is not angry, this Hanyang City, for the time being, there is no strength to compete with Nankong Qian." ”

"But Brother Shallow said that they will return to Gangneung City tomorrow. ”

"So tonight, they're going to make a move. Lu Ming said very firmly, but Lu Feiye looked puzzled, but since his father was so sure, then something must have happened tonight, so he hurriedly supported Lu Ming and whispered in his ear: "Dad, don't worry, no matter what happens, Feiye will always be by your side." ”

Lu Ming smiled with relief, then shook his head and said, "Tonight, you don't have to stay by my side, Dad has something that you need to do." Before the words fell, Lu Feiye couldn't help but be curious, "What's the matter?"

Lu Ming smiled mysteriously, and then whispered in Lu Feiye's ear......

I thought that they would go back to their rooms to rest after late at night, so Nan Kongqian found a room everywhere and flew up to the eaves, sat on the roof and began to wipe his sword by the bright moonlight.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a person walking towards him slowly, he immediately raised his gaze and found that the person was Lu Feiye, only to see him slowly coming in his direction, Nan Kongqian realized that he might have something wrong, so he immediately put away his sword and jumped down from the eaves, appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Second son. ”

"Brother Qian, I'm looking for you!" Lu Feiye smiled when he saw him, Nankong smiled slightly, responded with his chin bowed, and then asked him, "Did something happen?"

"That's right, my father said that my brother's body has been exposed for too long, and he has to be put into the ground quickly, but he is not feeling well and has a lot of inconvenience in moving, so he wants me to handle this matter, but now my city lord's mansion is not manpowered, so I specially came to ask Brother Qian's help. ”

Nankong nodded lightly, without a hint of refusal, "What do you want me to do?"

"In the mountains outside my Hanyang City, there is a mountain clearing where the graves of my Lu clan are located, and I would like to ask Brother Shallow to send someone to dig a grave with me, so that my brother can be buried in the ground. ”

"Good. Nan Kongqian nodded without hesitation, but then he thought of something, he said, "However, it is already night now, besides, this Lu Feiyang's funeral ceremony...... It's not held yet......"

Lu Feiye smiled disappointed when he heard this, "Let Brother Qian laugh, now my father is ill and can't preside over the overall situation, and I'm still young, I don't know what to do at all, besides, my brother has not yet become the city lord of Hanyang City, so my father said that his funeral rites can be avoided, and he has been alone for so many days, so don't toss too much, let him return to his roots as soon as possible." ”

Saying this, Nankong Qian understood, and he immediately nodded to Lu Feiye and agreed, "Okay, then I'll send someone to go up the mountain with you now." With that, he was turning to leave, when Lu Feiye stopped him again.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Qian, will you go too?" Lu Feiye asked cautiously, Nankong suddenly sensed the meaning of his words, and he didn't know why he had become so sensitive now, he knew that the reason why Lu Feiye asked this must be because he didn't want him to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, in his eyes, he should be an uninvited guest.

Thinking of this, Nan Kongqian suddenly decided to hand over the initiative to him, so he asked, "Your father is alone in the house, doesn't he need someone to take care of him?"

Lu Feiye's eyes lit up, obviously he didn't expect him to ask like this, after a pause, he said again, "My father is already asleep, besides, there are still some people in the house, so it should be fine." ”

Nankong Qian suddenly understood, "Since that's the case, then I'll go with you." He first called the accompanying guards to move Lu Feiyang's body out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then let Lu Feiye lead the way, and the group went out of the city to the mountains outside the city, because Lu Feiye was not riding a horse, so they marched very slowly.

The shallow guards behind him pulled Lu Feiyang's body with a trolley, and they also walked slowly, Lu Feiye looked back from time to time, although he felt sorry that his brother was buried in such a hurry without holding a funeral, but this was his father's order, and he had to do it.

——

"Tonight, you will ask Nankong Qian to bury your brother's body alive, delay as much as possible, and wait until dawn, they can go back to Jiangling City directly, if they insist on staying in the City Lord's Mansion, at that time, their intentions will be clear at a glance, do you understand?"

——

Lu Feiye's mind kept echoing with Lu Ming's instructions, he peeked at Nan Kongqian along the way, he thought about it and felt that Nan Kongqian was not that kind of person, just looking at the scene when Hanyang City was in turmoil before, he was desperate to protect himself, his father, and his brother, which is enough to show that he is a kind person.

However, his father was always suspicious of him.

Lu Feiye was also very puzzled, just when he was bored, he suddenly remembered a friend in Nankong Qian, so he took this opportunity to open the conversation with him-

"By the way, Brother Asao, what about your friend, why didn't he come with you?"

"He's back to Hanyan Peak. ”

"Huh?"

"It was Shu Xie Zhenren who asked him to go back, presumably because he had stayed in the world for too long, and Shu Xie Zhenren couldn't get used to him. Nankong said half-jokingly, but Lu Feiye was very surprised when he heard it, "What is the relationship between him and Shu Xie Zhenren?"

"I don't know what to say, I think it's a friend. "If it's about cold smoke and dust, it should indeed be regarded as a friend of Shu Xie Zhenren, after all, Shu Xie Zhenren also treated him like this at the beginning, but if you talk about Lin Shuihan, it should be the relationship between master and nephew, after all, Lin Shuihan's master is the head of Liuye, and Shu Xie Zhenren is the senior brother of the head of Liuye.

"In that case, he is friends with Shu Xie Zhenren, and you are friends with him, so aren't you also a friend of Shu Xie Zhenren?" Lu Feiye couldn't help but widen his curious eyes, and Nankong only smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not answer him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Feiye didn't know what to say, but he suddenly remembered in his mind the first time he saw Han Yanchen, it was when he was in the Northern Barbarians, he easily defeated Yinghualuo of Youyangqu and got the Thousand Bone Grass from his hand, that scene made Lu Feiye unforgettable for the rest of his life.

If he is half as strong as him, then he can protect his father and brother, and it will not be enough to let the Lu family fall to this point. Thinking of this, Lu Feiye couldn't help but lower his eyes, and a faint sadness gradually enveloped him......

On the other side, Bai Nianchen and Dugu Hanqiu were also living in an inn near the City Lord's Mansion, and they knew every move of Nankong Qian and his entourage, and after seeing a group of them carrying Lu Feiyang's body and leaving with Lu Feiye, they immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

So Dugu Hanqiu came to the City Lord's Mansion on his own without saying a word, and sneaked into the Mansion by taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he thought that although the Lu family's anger was exhausted now, this was the City Lord's Mansion after all, and it was still a little difficult to get in.

But he didn't expect that he easily avoided the sight of the guards at the door, and after entering the mansion, there were very few guards patrolling back and forth, at most just a few maids and maids walking back and forth, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the current Lu family had actually fallen to such a point, no wonder, Nan Fengzhu would let Nan Kongqian come to Hanyang City through Lu Feiyang's corpse, and come to the City Lord's Mansion, there must be no better opportunity to seize the Hanyang City Order than now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, although there were not many people in the mansion, but after all, there were still people guarding, and he still had to be careful, so he cautiously walked through the corridor, avoiding the sight of those guards one by one, and then secretly came to Lu Ming's room, but to his surprise, Lu Ming, the old guy, was not in his own room.

This made Dugu Hanqiu very surprised, this old guy is obviously not good, he is not resting in bed, where will he go?

While he was meditating, a violent cough suddenly came from the corner of the room and pulled him back from his thoughts, and he quickly hid, and then secretly watched to see who it was.

Then, Lu Ming gradually appeared in his sight with staggering steps, accompanied by an old butler.

"Master, why don't you let the young master stay in the mansion, if he is here, can't that thing be handed over to him directly?" The old housekeeper asked out loud, Dugu Hanqiu was shocked when he heard this, what is it?
