Chapter 311: Return the Official Seal
The light in Lu Xiaoxian's room was still on, he sat at the table, and glanced in the direction of the door from time to time, although his face was unusually calm, but his heart was a little anxious.
Finally, the door was pushed open, and Jiang Yuqiao slowly walked into the house.
Lu Xiaoxian stood up and smiled at Jiang Yuqiao: "Master Jiang Island! You're back! Hurry up, please take a seat! I have prepared good wine and good food, just waiting for your triumphant return, today we will get drunk and rest! ”
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuqiao's face, and he was not polite, and sat directly on the chair in front of the table.
Speaking of which, even if Jiang Yuqiao only met Lu Xiaoxian for the third time this time, although they have not known each other for a long time, Jiang Yuqiao has an inexplicable good impression of Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian is proficient in the art of observing people, and of course he knows that Jiang Yuqiao is difficult to deal with.
It's no wonder that Jiang Yuqiao has strong martial arts, and the rivers and lakes are known as "martial idiots". For Jiang Yuqiao, finding one opponent after another to test martial arts is almost the whole meaning of his life. Over the years, Jiang Yuqiao has never been defeated, and he will feel a little cold from a high place.
As long as they are human, they all hope to communicate with others normally, and Jiang Yuqiao is no exception. But he is famous, and whoever interacts with him must look up respectfully, the more this is the case, the more Jiang Yuqiao looks down on the other party. Because of this, people in the rivers and lakes think that Jiang Yuqiao has a strange personality and dare not contact him.
After a long time, Jiang Yuqiao can only go alone and go his own way. Like Lu Xiaoxian, who treats Jiang Yuqiao as an ordinary friend, Jiang Yuqiao is the first time he has encountered him, but he looks up to him.
Jiang Yuqiao took out the official seal from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoxian: "Little brother, I didn't give you Yulu to come back, Ashina Jingliu said that it had been sent to Turkic." However, he gave me the official seal, you can take it! ”
Lu Xiaoxian took the official seal and shook his head with a smile: "Ashina Jingliu said that Yulu was sent to the Turks?" You've been deceived by him! ”
Jiang Yuqiao was stunned and said, "I was deceived? ”
"Of course!" Lu Xiaoxian said bluntly, "It's useless for Yulu to be sent to the Turks, besides, Yulu has been plundered by him for a few days, I have been sending people to keep an eye on them these days, none of the people brought by Ashina Jingliu have left Yingzhou, how can it be possible to send Yulu away?" ”
Jiang Yuqiao listened to it and said hatefully: "This old fox, I fell for him!" ”
"That's right! You're fooled by him! Lu Xiaoxian looked at Jiang Yuqiao and continued, "Not only did he deceive you about the Yulu incident, but the martial arts competition he agreed with you in three months was also perfunctory to you!" ”
"How do you know we've agreed to compete in three months?" Jiang Yuqiao asked strangely, "Could it be that you were also present at the time?" ”
Three months later, the martial arts competition was agreed between Jiang Yuqiao and Ashina just now, and after the appointment, Jiang Yuqiao came directly to Lu Xiaoxian.
It was impossible for Lu Xiaoxian to know about this so quickly, which only meant that he must have been present at the time.
With Jiang Yuqiao's martial arts, he would definitely be able to find out if Lu Xiaoxian was hiding in the shadows, but in fact, Jiang Yuqiao didn't notice it at all, of course he felt strange.
Jiang Yuqiao looked Lu Xiaoxian up and down, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: Could it be that he is a hidden master?
At this moment, Jiang Yuqiao suddenly had the urge to compete with Lu Xiaoxian in his heart.
Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoxian knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about this!" Master Jiangdao, let's have a drink! ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian picked up the wine jar and filled Jiang Yuqiao and himself with wine.
He picked up the wine bowl and said to Jiang Yuqiao with a sincere face: "Lord Jiangdao, this trip to Yingzhou can meet such a year-old friend as Jiang You, and it can be regarded as a fate between us!" Come! I salute you with a bowl! ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian "coo-dong" and "coo-dong" drank all the wine in the bowl.
Jiang Yuqiao nodded and didn't speak, and drank the wine.
Lu Xiaoxian was afraid that Jiang Yuqiao would ask if he was present at the time, so he took the initiative to ask: "Master Jiangdao, you and Ashina competed in the competition three months later, I don't know how you arranged these three months?" Are you just waiting here? ”
Jiang Yuqiao sighed and said, "It's not too short for me to leave Fulong Island, just go back and have a look!" Calculate the time to go back and forth, three months is enough! ”
Lu Xiaoxian picked up the wine: "Since that's the case, then I'll give you another bowl and wish you a smooth journey!" ”
After the two of them finished drinking, Lu Xiaoxian asked Jiang Yuqiao about the situation on Fulong Island.
In his eyes, Fulong Island, as the location of the first sect in the rivers and lakes, was a mysterious place.
Jiang Yuqiao did not hide Lu Xiaoxian, and told him in detail, and Lu Xiaoxian was fascinated by it.
In this way, the two chatted while drinking, and they had to drink two jars of wine.
In the second half of the night, Jiang Yuqiao finally lost his strength and lay on the table.
Seeing that Jiang Yuqiao was completely drunk, Lu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief.
On martial arts, Lu Xiaoxian is not Jiang Yuqiao's opponent, but when it comes to drinking, he is not scared of Jiang Yuqiao at all.
Digging a pit for Jiang Yuqiao is an easy thing for Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian quietly put on a dress for Jiang Yuqiao, and then turned around and walked out of the house.
……
When Lu Xiaoxian and Jiang Yuqiao were drinking and chatting, Fang Hatshui's life was not so good.
After Ashina Jingliu and his disciples entered the house, Fang Hatshui didn't dare to follow up, so he could only stay in front of the house with the crowd.
They managed to survive until dawn, but there was no movement in the house.
In desperation, Fang Hatshui could only lead the crowd to rush into the house.
There was no one in the house for a long time, and after the raiders searched, they found that there was a secret passage in the house that led directly to the outside of the city.
Obviously, Ashina Jingliu and the others had already left from the dark passage.
After a hard night's work, not only did it work in vain, but it also damaged several of his subordinates, not to mention how much money Fang hated the water. He had no choice but to leave with the crowd and go to Yan Ke to kill him.
……
By the time dawn, Jiang Yuqiao had already said goodbye, presumably he had already left Yingzhou City for Fulong Island.
After breakfast, Lu Xiaoxian took Zhang Meng and Xing Feng out.
Jiang Yuqiao asked for the official seal of the Governor's Mansion back, and he had to return the official seal to Feng Qingshan as soon as possible.
Halfway down the road, Lu Xiaoxian found that Yingzhou City was a little different from the past, and the people were talking about something in groups of three or five.
Lu Xiaoxian felt strange, and said to Xing Feng: "Go and ask, what's going on!" ”
Xing Feng nodded and went to inquire about the situation.
After a while, he came back and reported to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master, the government has posted a notice, saying that there is going to be a falconry competition, and the winner will have a bonus of five hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Falcon race?" Lu Xiaoxian felt curious, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" Let's go check out the signs, too! ”
When he came to the door of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Xiaoxian saw a notice posted on the wall on the side, and many people were watching.
Lu Xiaoxian and his entourage squeezed in, and the notice was indeed written about the eagle race, the time was set for the eighth day of the next month, and the bonus given by the government was five hundred taels of silver, and the notice was also stamped with the big seal of the governor's mansion.
Although I don't know what Zhao Wenhui's purpose was in organizing this falconry competition, Lu Xiaoxian felt that it was good to open his eyes.
The government only paid a bonus of five hundred taels of silver, and if it was suitable, Lu Xiaoxian was willing to give more silver, and he would purchase a batch of high-grade Haidongqing. Maybe he can take this opportunity to find a real falcon master, so that Fan Ziming can find a master to learn falconry!
Lu Xiaoxian instructed Zhang Meng and Xing Feng to wait outside the door, and he handed over the rank to the official at the gate of the Governor's Mansion and informed him to see Feng Qingshan.
As soon as he saw Feng Qingshan, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Don't drive adults, fortunately, I will help you get the official seal back!" ”
With that, Lu Xiaoxian took out the official seal from his arms and handed it to Feng Qingshan.
Feng Qingshan saw that the official seal was lost and recovered, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He held the official seal and looked at it carefully, and muttered in his mouth: "That's right, that's it, that's it!" ”
In the past two days, Feng Qingshan has been living like a year, although he has the Luo Bu seal given to him by Lu Xiaoxian to deal with it temporarily, but losing the official seal is a big crime, and if things are revealed, he will definitely be unlucky. Now, Lu Xiaoxian helped him get the official seal back, how could he not be excited.
Finally came back to his senses, Feng Qingshan hurriedly asked, "Master Lu, where did you get the official seal back, is it a ghost caused by Yan Ke?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said: "I can't say anything about this matter for a while, it must have nothing to do with Yan Ke, but we don't have evidence now, and it's not interesting to pursue it again!" Don't drive adults, you have to be more careful, in case something like this happens again, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky! ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's reminder, Feng Qingshan was shocked.
Lu Xiaoxian is right, the official seal is locked in the yamen, but it can disappear, which means that it is not safe in the governor's mansion. If this thing can happen once, it may happen a second time, and if the official seal is lost again, Feng Qingshan will only have a dead end.
Thinking of this, Feng Qingshan asked with palpitations: "Young Master Lu, I don't know if you have any good ideas?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian pondered and said: "The open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, the official seal is indeed very unsafe in your hands, the best way now is to throw this hot potato to Yan Ke, if you don't drive the adult, you can find a reason to hand over the official seal to Yan Ke for safekeeping, and if there is a problem, it will not matter to you!" ”
Feng Qingshan's heart moved, this was a good idea.
He thought for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Recently, I have been in poor health and need to recuperate, so I will go to Zhao Dudu to take leave later, and I just take this opportunity to hand over the official seal to Yan Ke." Even if I come back in the future, I have to find all kinds of excuses not to take over the official seal, and this matter is finished! ”
"That's great!" Lu Xiaoxian changed the topic and asked again, "Don't drive your lord, I saw a notice at the gate of the Governor's Mansion just now, saying that the Governor's Mansion is going to organize a falcon competition, what's going on?" ”
Feng Qingshan snorted coldly: "It's not Yan Ke's bad idea, the drought in Yingzhou is urgent, he doesn't think about how to provide disaster relief, but he just does these messy things, isn't it not doing his job?" I don't know what Zhao Dudu thinks, but he agrees to this matter. ”
It can be seen that Feng Qingshan is very dissatisfied with Yan Ke's move, and he is also full of complaints.
