On this day, Luoyang ushered in the first snow of the year.

Crystal snowflakes flutter and fly down, like playful elves, chasing each other, gathering and dispersing, light and pleasant. The elves in the sky scrambled to land in the mortal world, gathering more and more, and after a while, the air became crowded, and they had to scatter in all directions, landing and stopping in the place they chose, making room for the companions who came later.

The Miyagi regiment returned to the strict light, and the day was broken and fell into Qiongfang.

From a distance, the entire Luoyang City is white, as if it is placed in the clouds, hazy and mysterious, and out of reach.

The towering Deyang Hall was surrounded by cheerful elves, lazily draped in a white veil, and looked down on the entire Luoyang City with sleepy eyes.

When the snow first arrived, the people of the city came out of their homes and cheered with the elves in the sky to celebrate the arrival of the snow.

……

In the snow, a light carriage galloped down the street, and the groom who drove the carriage hurriedly waved his whip: "Drive, drive—"

There was an old man in a Confucian robe sitting in the car, his face was anxious, as if he didn't think the speeding carriage was fast enough, and kept urging: "Hurry up, come on, hurry up and ......."

The groom didn't look back, sped up a little more speed, and said helplessly: "My lord, this is already the fastest, we will be here soon." ”

The old man was sitting on pins and needles in the car, looking forward from time to time, but the snow was flying, and the front was hazy, and he couldn't see how far he could get there.

The carriage quickly turned around a street corner, almost overturned, and went forward more than a hundred feet, only to see the horseman tighten the reins: "Huh-" The horse stopped running, and the carriage slid forward for a distance before it could stop in front of the gate of Lufu.

The old man didn't wait for the groom's support, he couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, stumbled into the Lu Mansion, and before he entered the hospital, the old man shouted loudly: "Brother Zi, something is wrong!" Brother ......"

This old man in the Confucian robe is none other than Cai Yong.

……

On Lu Zhi's mansion, Liu Zhan practiced martial arts in the snow, his long sword flew over, and the snowflakes fluttered......

The wind howls, the sword roars!

This attack on the way back to Luoyang touched Liu Zhan a lot, although he and his second daughter were fine, but they also narrowly escaped a catastrophe, if there is another group of killers, then the three of them will not have any chance of survival.

Every time he thought of this, Liu Zhan was afraid for a while, he blamed himself deeply for his negligence, but he never mentioned it to anyone, but he practiced martial arts diligently every day, in order to strive for excellence in martial arts, and then go to a new level, as far as the current situation is concerned, only when he is strong, can he better protect his second daughter, and better protect his lover, family and friends.

In the pavilion not far away, Guo Xin and Diao Chan sat together, waiting to pour tea and water for Liu Zhan, while admiring Liu Zhan's heroic posture in the snow.

At this moment, a servant girl stepped on the lotus step and came to Liu Zhan not far away, and Ying Ying saluted: "Enlightened son, my lord has an invitation, and I have important things to discuss." ”

Liu Zhan was on the rise, and he didn't stop, and said while dancing the long sword: "I know, go over immediately." "The long sword that Liu Zhan danced was not an ordinary sword, it was the Heavenly Sword given by Wang Yue. In other words, the Yitian Sword has been transferred to Cao Cao's hands several times in history, perhaps it was also given by Wang Yue, or it was given by Shi A, after all, Shi Ah is Cao Pi's kendo master, and Wang Yue and Shi A are inextricably linked with Cao Cao.

The maidservant gave a salute: "The slave and the maid are gone." After speaking, he bowed slightly to the second daughter and turned to leave.

The servant girl walked for a while, Liu Zhan stopped his hand, suddenly felt full of pride, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar: "The long sword is leaning against the sky, and the young man's ambition is shaking the sky." ”

If Cai Yan was here, he would definitely match the last two sentences for Liu Zhan, but the second daughter next to him was not good at chanting poetry, and Liu Zhan didn't mind, after all, they were all their own women, and they had their own characteristics.

Seeing Liu Zhan finish work, Guo Xin and Diao Chan got up together, took Ling Bo with slight steps, and came to Liu Zhan to serve......

……

When he came to the main hall, Liu Zhan saw Lu Zhi sitting upright on the couch, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Shi called his nephew, I don't know what to send?" ”

Lu Zhi rolled up his long sleeves and raised his hand to point: "Zhan'er, sit down and talk." ”

Liu Zhan sat down as he said.

Lu Zhi continued: "Just now the jailer came to report that Tang Zhou was actually rescued from prison. Zhan'er, what do you think about this? ”

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, locked his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and didn't think of other records about Tang Zhou in history, Liu Zhan had to shake his head: "My nephew doesn't know who did it, I guess it must be the person who is peaceful." After speaking, I thought to myself: It seems that Shibo regards me as an omniscient and omniscient capable person, this is not easy to fool, there must be a reasonable reason for this matter.

Liu Zhan really bumped into a dead mouse this time, Tang Zhou was indeed rescued by the people of Taiping Dao, but it was not to protect Tang Zhou's life, but to Tang Zhou's life.

"What's the explanation?" Lu Zhi asked.

Liu Zhan was slightly embarrassed: "Shibo, this is just my nephew's speculation, and my nephew has no exact news this time." ”

"Well, tell me your reasoning."

"My nephew thinks that after Tang Zhou defected to the imperial court, the Taiping Dao will hate Tang Zhou to the core, and if he can kill Tang Zhou, a traitor, in front of many disciples, it will also be a deterrent to those who want to escape or betray."

"It makes sense." Lu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled.

At this moment, there was a hurried shout from the courtyard: "Brother Zi, something is wrong......

The two were stunned at the same time.

Lu Zhi immediately got up and walked out of the hall, followed by Liu Zhan.

When the two came to the outside of the hall, they saw Cai Yong running over with a panicked expression.

Lu Zhi hurriedly greeted Cai Yong: "Uncle, why are you so flustered?" ”

Liu Zhan ran to Cai Yong's side and supported Cai Yong, who was tired: "Lord Yue, you are ......"

Cai Yong glanced at Liu Zhan deeply, and said breathlessly: "Yan'er...... Yan'er was ...... They were taken captive. ”

"What! How to ......" Liu Zhanjian frowned, thinking quickly about the suspicious figure in his mind.

Lu Zhi's face was shocked: "Uncle, tell me what's going on." ”

"Yan'er likes snow the most, and every time it snows, she has to enjoy the snow in the courtyard. It's snowing today but I don't see Yan'er enjoying the snow, so I'll call Yan'er, but ...... But I found this ...... in Yan'er's house," Cai Yong said, taking out a letter from his bosom and handing it to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi opened it and glanced at it, and handed the letter to Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan opened the letter and saw that it was written: Fifty miles outside the West Gate, exchange it for Liu Zhan!

It's coming at me!

Who will think about me?

Moon Shadow?

Or Dong Yuan?

The Moon Shadow Guard is targeting the cicada, then, it must have been sent by Dong Yuan to do it!

Liu Zhan thought quickly in his heart for a moment, and quickly identified the real culprit behind the scenes.

Dong Yuan, this guy! It's really getting more and more yin, Lao Tzu doesn't go to you, but you come to the door, and you actually get even worse, dare to touch Lao Tzu's woman! Lao Tzu doesn't fight back, thinking Lao Tzu is a sick cat? Wait, Dong thief! Lao Tzu will make you regret coming to this world! Now, Yan'er has been taken captive for a long time, and there can be no more delay.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Zhan hurriedly put away the letter and hugged his fists at Lu Zhi and Cai Yong: "I'm going to save Yan'er!" Please wait for my good news at home! Before the words fell, the person had already flown outside the door, leaving Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, who were still waiting to discuss countermeasures, staring at each other.

Seeing that Liu Zhan was very nervous about Cai Yan's safety, Cai Yong's heart was relieved, and he said secretly: Yan'er didn't see the wrong person, and he was responsible at the critical moment!

Lu Zhi saw Cai Yong looking out of the door, and patted Cai Yong on the shoulder: "Uncle, since Zhan'er has already passed first, why don't we discuss a remedial measure, in case Zhan'er misses or has other unexpected circumstances, we can deal with it." ”

"It's good!" Cai Yong sighed and followed Lu Zhi to the main hall.

The two sat on the ground, and Lu Zhi asked, "Bo Jiao, do you have anything else to discover?" ”

"Yan'er's personal maidservant Lian'er is also gone, and she should have been taken away by someone."

Lu Zhi: "...... When they were taken captive, what was unusual in the house? ”

"Nope! There was no movement at all! Moreover, Yong had seen Yan'er in the study an hour before he found out that Yan'er had been taken away. ”

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and pondered, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that the other party came prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have taken them away quietly." Besides, when Zhan'er first arrived in Luoyang, who wanted to put Zhan'er to death? Who was the big guy Shi Ah said last time? ”

"What big shots? Is there something that Brother Zi is hiding from Yong? ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed: "This ...... I can't tell for a while, and I only know a little about the surface! ”

"That's ......," Cai Yong asked, and the meaning was obvious.

Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "It's okay, it's okay to tell Bo Jiao, sooner or later they are a family." That's the case, Zhan'er is the younger brother of Emperor Ling, and he came to Luoyang this time to take revenge, but Zhan'er has always refused to say who the enemy is. ”

"Huh?! There are such things! Cai Yong stood up with a look of surprise.

Li Yan shook his head and said nothing, waiting for Cai Yong to slowly digest this exciting news.

A few days ago, Liu Zhan was attacked on the way back to Luoyang. That day, when Liu Zhan returned to the house with his second daughter, Lu Zhi was only shocked by Liu Zhan's injury, looking at the weak Liu Zhan, Lu Zhi was distressed except for horror, and did not delve into the reason.

The assassin last time was also very suspicious, and he was actually subdued by Liu Zhan, which is really incredible......

Now it seems that these two attacks must be related, and Guo Xin and Diao Chan should also know the reason, maybe the second daughter knows who the big man behind the scenes is.

Lu Zhi didn't know about the Moon Shadow Guard, and thought that the last two attacks were done by a group of people.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi called a maidservant to call Guo Xin and Diao Chan.

Cai Yong listened to Lu Zhi's words and nodded yes: "At the beginning, Yong felt that Liu Zhan had hidden secrets that no one knew, but now it seems that he still has something to hide from us." ”

"It seems that I am sluggish, Zhan'er has been attacked and killed twice, I actually didn't send someone to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise Yan'er would not have been taken away, and he would not have ended up in today's situation."

"Brother Zi don't blame yourself, what does this matter have to do with Brother Zi?"

Lu Zhi waved his hand: "Uncle, there is something I want to explain to you in advance. ”

"Brother Zi, please speak."

"Zhan'er still has two confidantes living in the mansion temporarily, they may know what happened, but what the old man wants to say is that Yan'er will definitely be a wife in the future, and these two girls in the house will not compete with Yan'er for the position of the wife."

Cai Yong didn't expect Liu Zhan to be lustful at a young age, and he slandered for a while: This kid is really a lover!

Seeing that Cai Yong didn't answer, Lu Zhi said again: "Relax your mind, Zhan'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, he will definitely not let Yan'er down." ”

Cai Yong smiled: "That's good......"

While the two were talking, Guo Xin and Diao Chan came to the hall together, and Ying Ying gave a salute: "I've seen adults!" ”

Lu Zhi raised his hand and pointed at Cai Yong: "This is Lord Cai." ”

The second daughter saluted Cai Yong again: "I've seen Lord Cai." ”

Cai Yong waved his hand: "No need to be polite." ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand at the second daughter, smiled slightly, and motioned for the second daughter to take a seat: "Today's situation is special, and it is really important to call you two here to ask you two." ”

The two daughters sat down in the last place in turn.

Guo Xinxin was straightforward and said directly: "My lord, please ask, Xin'er must know everything." ”

Lu Zhi asked: "Okay, the old man asked you, who wants to put Liu Zhan to death several times?" Who is behind this? ”

Guo Xin: "......"
