Chapter 9: The Knights in Black
As the hour passed, dark clouds gradually rose, the moon was half-covered with a black veil, and the cold wind whined in my ears. Lu Renxiang was also tired of seeing the lanterns, so he sat on the bench of the roadside tea stall, "Brother, rest for a while!" I can't walk anymore, I didn't expect this horse market street to be so big! ”
"Xining Street is almost here in front, take advantage of this time to go over and have a look."
"There are fewer and fewer people, and Xining Street must not be interesting, so you don't have to go, right?"
The young man at the tea stall was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, wiping the table, and said with a smile: "The two ministers, Mashi Street will be curfew in a while, and we will close the stall after we clean up." But Xining Street is bustling with activity at this time! After the small stall is closed, I have to go to join in the fun! ”
Lu Renxiang smiled happily when he heard this, stood up and pulled Lu Zuo to the front. The two turned a street corner and saw Xining Street.
At this moment, Xining Street is already full of people, people come and go, and the streets and alleys are brightly lit. When Lu Zuozheng was dizzying, Lu Renxiang called his brother, "Look at the gate of the mansion in front!" ”
Lu Zuo looked in the direction of Lu Renxiang's finger, and saw the brightest place in front of him, the red lantern in front of the mansion was shining brightly with four big characters "King Ning's Mansion", and there were a few energetic guards in front of the door.
At this moment, there is an elderly man with thick black hair and regular clothes at the door of the house, and there is a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the left, and the one on the right is the young man in green shirts, An Shilu.
Lu Renxiang was full of complaints, "It's really unlucky to meet that gentleman again during the Shangyuan Festival tonight." ”
"That's not right!" Lu Zuo looked at the people in front of the mansion, shook his head and smiled, "It's good luck tonight, and the whole family was bumped into by us all of a sudden." ”
"Brother, do you mean that the one in the middle may be An Shilu's father, Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan?"
"Exactly, and the person on Ping Yuanbo's left may be his eldest son An Shiqing."
"Oh?" Lu Renxiang couldn't help but wonder, "Then what are the three of them doing in King Ning's Mansion at this time?" ”
"Shangyuan Festival is of course the best time to feast party friends." Lu Zuo's eyes were cold, "It seems that Ning Wangfu is about to get a good chess piece!" ”
Lu Renxiang was puzzled, "King Ning and * dispute, it is said that Ping Yuanbo has always remained neutral and has not participated in the party struggle. How could he have dealings with King Ning? ”
"That only says a thing!" Lu Zuo looked thoughtful.
"Oh? What does it mean? ”
"It means that the wind is blowing in the court!"
Lu Renxiang frowned, very puzzled, "Wind? What's the wind? ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of wind it is, the important thing is that we will also be swept up by this wind!"
Lu Renxiang looked puzzled, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar brother in front of him, but he didn't know where to ask, but Lu Renxiang believed that his brother must be thinking about the revenge of killing his father back then.
Lu Zuo pushed his younger brother who was in a daze with his hand, "Go back!" ”
"So early? Let's take another walk! "Lu Renxiang hasn't had enough of the bustling city of Kyoto.
"No, we've gained a lot today, and we still have a lot to do tomorrow."
Just when the two turned to go home, they only heard a neighing of horses' hooves behind their ears, and the two looked back in response, but saw a person standing in front of Ping Yuanbo's car, dressed in black, wearing a black cloak, wearing a hat on his head, covering his face with a black veil, holding an unsheathed long sword, standing in the middle of the street, fluttering in the cold wind, and the pedestrians on the street could not hide from it. Lu Zuo and Lu Renxiang hurriedly hid behind a street corner with a good line of sight and watched.
An Shiqing and An Shilu looked at the man in black in front of the horse, and then looked at each other, and the two of them were stunned. An Shilu shouted: "What person? Dare to stop Uncle Yuan's car! Get out of the way quickly, or else......"
"Shilu! Who's making all the noise? Before An Shilu finished speaking, a deep voice came from the carriage behind Shilu.
An Shilu replied while carefully looking at the man in black with his eyes, "Father, it's nothing! A little thief stopped the car. ”
"Oh!" A calm voice came from the car, "Just catch it, don't see blood if it's a big holiday!" ”
"The child knows!"
An Shiqing saw the black-clothed man in front of the horse standing still in the cold wind, very strange, and persuaded with good words: "This strong man, can you borrow a light to avoid it?" ”
The man in black still didn't answer, just stood motionless.
"Why should the eldest brother talk nonsense with such people!" An Shilu was not angry, "Hey, do you know whose car this is?" Acquaintances get out of the way quickly. ”
At this time, the man in black suddenly raised his head and glanced at An Shilu with sharp eyes, "The avenue is so wide, how could I be blocking your path?" ”
"I think you're here to find fault!" An Shilu pointed at the man in black and scolded angrily.
The man in black sneered, "That's right, you're right. ”
When An Shiqing was about to speak, An Shilu was already anxious, and without saying anything, he ordered seven or eight of his subordinates to step forward together, "Tie up this villain for me." ”
An Shilu's subordinates rushed up in an instant, wanting to tie up the man, who would have expected that before the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand was unsheathed, seven or eight strong men fell to the ground in an instant. An Shiqing was dumbfounded, but An Shilu was so angry that he scolded his mother again and again, so he straddled the horse, pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, and rushed forward, and a few minions who fell to the ground hurriedly rolled and crawled to make way for the young master. The man in black stood still, and when An Shilu's green horse was about to step on, the man in black was like lightning, turning to the right side, and he dodged lightly, and then a bright knife slashed down from the air, and the man in black raised the sword in his hand to open the knife. An Shilu rode his horse behind the man in black, then turned the horse's head and raised his knife to slash at the man in black.
The man in black was as light as a swallow, and he dodged again in an instant.
Seeing that he still couldn't help him within a few moves, An Shilu became impatient in his heart, so he asked his brother An Shiqing for help, "Brother, why don't you come to help!" This kid is also crazy. ”
"He's just passing by, so why can't he get along with others!" An Shiqing understands things and is kind enough to persuade his younger brother.
"This villain is clearly looking for fault."
At this time, the man in black held his sword sideways and said coldly: "What! Scared? ”
An Shilu saw that the man in black was provocative again, and scolded angrily: "If you're afraid, it's not your grandfather." ”
An Shilu said, raised the knife and slashed left and right, the man in black just dodged, and did not fight back, at this moment, there were more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, An Shilu was angry and sharply reddened, and used all his strength to cut it indiscriminately.
"Stop." There was a loud shout from inside the carriage, and it seemed that the curtain of the carriage fluttered with the sound.
An Shilu turned the horse's head in response, and the two also stopped fighting. Lu Zuo and Lu Renxiang hid in the corner of the street and watched with more and more relish, and stopped with their necks, but when they saw that at this time, the subordinates lifted the tent curtain, and An Yuanshan on the carriage slowly walked out of the car.
"What is this good man's business? Stopped my family's car for no reason. An Yuanshan politely said.
The man in black, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised his head at this time, looked at An Yuanshan coldly, and then looked at An Shilu with disdain, "You can ask him!" ”
"I don't know where the old man's son offended the hero? You say, the old man will naturally make the decision for you. ”
