Section 045 Selection of Lu C
At this tense moment, a dragon roar of swords breaking through the air also sounded outside the warm pavilion, and the sound of footsteps jumped to the roof, and the heavy murderous aura surrounded the entire warm pavilion like an impenetrable net for a while.
Jinyiwei! Lu Bing really didn't come alone! He also brought the brocade guard!
However, this was also expected by Xu Shuxuan.
"Nan Chu, take the sword away!" Xu Shuxuan's eyes fell on Nan Chu and ordered in a cold voice.
Nan Chu's eyes were awe-inspiring and he hesitated for a long time, but seeing Xu Shuxuan's cold expression and categorical tone, he was highly concentrated and slowly moved his sword away while staring at the dagger in Lu Bing's hand.
"You're really not afraid that I'll kill you?" For Nan Chu's sudden appearance, Lu Bing's heart also had a trace of horror, this person's body was strange beyond his reach. However, he quickly turned to Xu Shuxuan again, and seeing that the young man still looked relaxed, a burst of admiration and appreciation rose in his heart, "Do you know that from the moment you mentioned the Jiang family's case in your letter, I wanted to kill you?" You actually know all the processes in which Yan Xiang and my father and son teamed up to frame Xia Yan and the Jiang family? How did you learn this at such a young age? ”
"Then why didn't you kill me again?" Xu Shuxuan asked rhetorically.
Why not kill? Killing a prince of Wei and making enemies of the entire Duke of Wei, as long as he still retains a little sanity, he will not do such a stupid thing - this young man is known as a talented man in the capital, and if he can meet him here, he will definitely have a backhand!
What if he really had the evidence in his hands that he and Yan Fan had framed Xia Yan and the Jiang family?
He wouldn't be foolish enough to carry the evidence with him, so would he have taken it out to give him a fatal blow in an unpredictable way after he died?
"After all, I don't want to be a person who injures Jin, a young talent like you, it's a pity to kill him!" Lu Bing put away the embroidered spring blade and sat down calmly.
Xu Shuxuan said: "Thank you!" Then he continued, "Actually, Xia Shoufu's death and the Jiang family's destruction were not expected by Lord Lu, and that was not the result you wanted. Lord Lu, you just want to protect yourself, originally you and Xia Shoufu were very good friends, but because he was fair and strict, unreasonable, and impeached you for corruption and bribery, so you made the first move, and conspired with Yan Xiang and his son to calculate him, but in fact, you didn't want his life at all, let alone that Yan Xiang and his son would implicate the Jiang family, you were just used by Yan Xiang and his son to get caught in it and couldn't get out, and did something that made you feel guilty for a lifetime! ”
"Lord Lu is also a person who is jealous of evil and follows the way of sages, knowing that what Yan Xiang's father and son have done is shameful, so why should he go with them and do things that violate his conscience? Moreover, if Yang Yiqing is ousted from the cabinet, Yan Xiang's father and son will really be fearless again, and the expansion of their ambitions may not even be able to suppress Lord Lu. After a pause, Xu Shuxuan continued, "You must know that there is an army of famous Dongying warriors behind them. The art of imperial weighing, I think Lord Lu should understand it better than the younger generation! ”
When he said this, Lu Bing's eyes gradually faded with a look of surprise, and he asked, "How do you know that they are colluding with the Dongying warriors of the Sunrise Country?" ”
"Two days ago, several Dongying warriors died in Zhenwumiao Hutong, and the case was reported to Fuyi Yamen, which had nothing to do with Yan Fan, but he found me because of this." Xu Shuxuan smiled lightly, "Lord Lu should understand the strangeness!" ”
Lu Bing's mind was solemn, his expression was unpredictable, and he was thoughtful.
Xu Shuxuan said again: "Tongwei is the most hated thing by the emperor, and adults should know the stakes in it." ”
"The case of the Yang family was handed over by the emperor to Yan Xiang's father and son for trial, and I can't interfere in this matter, otherwise I will be charged with the same crime as the Yang family, wouldn't it be worth the loss! Please forgive me for this favor, I can't help! ”
Lu Bing said goodbye here, but at this moment, he heard Xu Shuxuan say: "But Lord Lu has unfortunately intervened!" ”
"What did you say?"
He looked at Xu Shuxuan puzzled, and then listened to him: "Did Shao Yunchen of the Jinyi Guard go to the Yang family on the order of Lord Lu?" ”
Lu Bing's face changed, Shao Yunchen went to Yang's house, how could he not know about this matter.
Xu Shuxuan saw that his face was shocked, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lord Lu doesn't know, if my guess is right, Shao Yunchen must have been ordered by Yan Fan to assassinate the people of the Yang family!" If the Yang family is unfortunately really destroyed, this crime will still be counted on the head of the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
When Lu Bing heard this, he immediately stood up, and as soon as his body turned, he rushed into the snowy night.
Behind him, Xu Shuxuan's voice said: "The younger brother is in charge of Jinyiwei, and he is in a hurry, and the junior has let him rush to the Yang family, hoping to buy some time for Lord Lu, and please think about what the junior said today." ”
Lu Bing looked back at him for a long time, and saw the young man's warm and clear smile and the unfathomable starry eyes like a secluded pool in the wind and snow, and there was a slight shock in his heart - this young man was really as smart as rumored, and it was admirable.
"It's a pity that Xu Shizi doesn't go to be a strategist! I'll think about your words, but I may not be able to talk to the emperor, but I can save the lives of the Yang family. ”
Although this answer was not what he expected, Xu Shuxuan still nodded gratefully.
"However, according to what I said, the Xu family of the Wei Mansion has no contact with the Yang family, and there is no old relationship between the in-laws, why is Xu Shizi willing to take such a big risk to help the Yang family?"
Lu Bing looked at Xu Shuxuan, waiting for him to answer.
The young man's expression finally had a slight change, and the slight change was something he couldn't understand, as if it was desolate, like relief, or longing for something.
Finally, the boy raised his eyes and smiled at him: "Because I don't know when I will die, I want to do something meaningful and make me happy!" It's as simple as that. ”
His smile is so clean and clear, without half a bit of resentment and unwillingness to fate.
Lu Bing was stunned again, although this young man is talented and intelligent, he has a stubborn illness, and he is afraid that he will not live a long life, he has also heard of it.
But being able to face life so brightly, calmly, and live with his heart is really a little unexpected for him.
Lu Bing left, and when he left, the brocade guards who surrounded the warm pavilion also quietly left, and the warm pavilion seemed to become open and bright.
Nan Chu couldn't help but reproach: "Lord Shizi, you mentioned the Jiang family's case in your letter to Lu Bing? You even deceived me Nan Chu, if I knew what was written in your letter, I would definitely not send this letter, do you know that it is dangerous to do so, Lu Bing brought dozens of Jinyi Wei masters here! If he has murderous intentions, I can't protect you! ”
"If you don't mention the case of the Jiang family, how can he come to see me?" Xu Shuxuan smiled lightly, looked at Nan Chu and said, "You probably don't know that Lu Bing's original wife was also the daughter of the Jiang family. ”
Nan Chu was indeed a little stunned, he knew that Lu Bing had a wife, but he didn't seem to be surnamed Jiang, could it be a continuation?
But what does this have to do with whether Lu Binglai came to see the appointment?
"Lu Bing still feels guilty about the Jiang family." Xu Shuxuan explained, "Okay, that's the end of today's matter, I hope Mo Xuan's side will also be smooth!" ”
"Is Lu Bing really willing to speak for the Yang family in front of the emperor?" Nan Chu couldn't help but ask.
"It's definitely not okay to say it with your mouth, from today's talk, I can see that Lu Bing seems to be afraid of the emperor's suspicion, so he won't face the emperor directly about this matter, but it is enough for him to promise to protect the life of the Yang family!" When Xu Shuxuan said this, he sighed again and muttered, "What I'm worried about now is something else?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Today, Scarlet Smoke told me, saying that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is playing a game of divination with the newly sealed Xiangfei Niangniang, this Xiangfei predicts that this snow will fall for seven days and seven nights, and there will be blood in the capital within seven days, I don't know what this Xiangfei thinks? Will she be bad for the Yang family? ”
"The prince may be too careful, maybe it's just a trick played between women!"
"I hope so!" Xu Shuxuan looked at the heavy snow in front of him like goose feathers, if it really rained for seven days and seven nights, what would it be?
******
Lu Bing was wandering on the road, he was thinking about Xu Shuxuan's words, especially the sentence "The Emperor's Weighing Technique", he was just a sword in the emperor's hand, if there was really one person in the cabinet who was so big that even he couldn't suppress it...... Yan Xiang's father and son will not fully trust him, and he knows this very well in his heart, so is it really necessary to keep Yang Yiqing and let the two cabinet ministers continue to fight!
What made Lu Bing very indignant in his heart was that Yan Fan had also installed an inside line among his subordinates, and he had transferred Jinyi Wei to do things for him Yan Fan without authorization, and he absolutely couldn't bear this matter.
Unconsciously, he walked to the Yan Mansion, Lu Bing simply climbed over the courtyard wall and quietly entered the back house of the Yan Mansion.
On top of a room covered with glazed tiles, he overheard a conversation between Yan Fan and another person!
"Toyotomi Taiichi, do you know what you're doing? You actually killed an elite dead soldier I dispatched and saved the Yang family mother and daughter! Which side are you on? Who exactly are you working with? ”
Yan Fan was furious, and his voice was like a bell, but the voice that answered him was very lazy, it was a young man's voice, with a hint of evil and sharp taste: "Don't you think that killing a pair of women and children is really not a gentleman's doing?" ”
"Gentleman? You still talk to me about gentlemen? Yan Fan sneered, who are you? What qualifications do bandits who specialize in burning, killing, and looting have to talk about the virtue of a gentleman?
"I remember that all the scholars in Da Kui liked the words of the sages, and there was a holy saying that didn't say, "Kindness is like water, and virtue is loaded?" Oh, in this way, Yan Gongzi is really not a gentleman! Toyotomi Takichi knocked on the Persian blanket spread on the expensive pear blossom wooden table, and smiled wantonly and evilly, "I have a new understanding of Yan Gongzi!" ”
"Why do you want to save Yang's mother and daughter? Are you interested in the woman Yang Qiuxuan? Yan Fan suddenly calmed down and asked.
Toyotomi Takiichi's eyes changed strangely, and he asked rhetorically, "Why do you think I'm interested in Yang's Qiu Xuan, but not that little girl doll?" ”
Yan Fan was also surprised when he heard this rhetorical question, and he said curiously, "Are you interested in female dolls?" ”
But I thought in my heart: So you still have such a habit?
"Since you are so interested in female dolls, I can select hundreds of beautiful female dolls for you in the capital and give them to you, how about it?"
The tea that Toyotomi Takiichi had just drunk almost didn't squirt out, his eyes changed strangely again, he looked at Yan Fan like a monster, and sighed, "Yan Gongzi's understanding seems to have reached a new height!" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't be interested in the girl doll you sent, I like to snatch it with my own hands, and I have a ...... of it" he said, with a sparkle in his eyes, "I don't like what I like to be touched, otherwise I can't help but chop off his hand, just like this time, I have told them very clearly, that girl, no one should move, it's a pity they didn't listen to me, so it's unfortunate......" He spread his hand and said, "I chopped off all of them's hands!" ”
"Toyotomi Takiichi ......" Yan Fan tried his best to resist his urge to roar, gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a pervert!" ”
"Each other, otherwise how could we be allies?"
"Are we still allies?"
"Yes, as long as your people don't violate my bottom line! I hate disobedient people! Grinning at the corners of his lips, Toyotomi Takiichi put the cyan hat on top of his head again, "Can I go?" ”
Yan Fan had a forbearant expression on his face, and was stunned for a while, and finally made a gesture of please with a stiff smile.
But when Toyotomi Takiichi walked out of the room, he asked again: "Toyotomi Taiichi, are you Japanese after all?" ”
