Volume 1 The Death of the Arrows Chapter 11 The Giving of Names
By the time the boy got better, many days had passed. He slowly removed the wounds on his chest and mouth, and tried to reach under his feet, but the two maids quickly met him and supported him.
The glare was suddenly cut off by the open door. Lu Biao looked at the young man in front of the door with his arms in his arms, and groaned slightly, "Young man, I think you should have an explanation for the matter of Yan Yitu and the two." β
The young man was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be interrogated by this Yan Lingjue just after he had just recovered from his injuries.
"Dudu, during my captivity by Yan Yitu, I only knew that he was in control of the Fan Longyin Saber named Yeguang. Moreover, he is trying to lurk in the Lu Mansion and take the opportunity to kill you and find another heirloom weapon. β
"Well, that's it. I won't mention this matter for the time being, I have my own arrangements for this matter. Lu Biao waved his hand to let the young man come over, "However, this kind of thing about you is just because you came here to steal money and was accidentally caught, right?" β
The young man's body trembled slightly, his lips opened slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Okay, I've already sent someone to check on your situation." "You are very smart, especially skilled in stealing. β
"But don't just because you have done this by mistake and want to get rid of your past crimes!" Lu Biao slapped the table beside him with a fierce palm, and the hot tea cup fell to the ground and shattered after this shock, "First, a few years ago, you kid came to my Lu Mansion for the first time and disguised himself as a maid, and found out all the structure of the Lu Mansion, and first took ten taels of silver!" β
"Second! Three months ago, you made a second move, sneaked into the Lu Mansion again to steal, and successfully stole fourteen taels of silver. Third! That is, fourteen days ago, you entered the Lu Mansion again and successfully took away a batch of the property of the general manager, although Yan Yitu is no longer from my Lu Mansion, but your crime is undeniable! β
"Finally, last night, it was the fourth time you entered the Lu Mansion, and it was also the biggest theft you had brewed!" Lu Biao walked in front of him and grabbed him by the collar, "Am I right!" β
"Yes...... You're right. I'm just a Hanako with unclean hands and feet. β
The boy shuddered, and his mouth cracked a little.
It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. has not recovered from his previous dying state, and now he has to accept Lu Biao's thunderous anger. He couldn't help but wet his back clip, and had to admit that everything he had had been known to Lu Biao.
"Don't rush to apologize yet!" Lu Biao said, "Your crime is just for invading Lu Mansion, I can punish you with death!" β
"Boy, I ask you." Lu Biao stared at him, "Do you want to be assigned to the Scout Division of the Standing Guard Army by me?" β
"Your skills are so good that you entered the Lu Mansion three times without being discovered, which is enough to show your strength." Lu Biao smiled suddenly, "I think, if there was no interference from Yan Yitu last night, you would still be able to enter and exit like a fish in water." β
"This ...... Is it to make meritorious service for sin? The boy asked rhetorically.
"You can understand it that way." Lu Biao said, "Listen, now that the national disaster is at hand, the northern border of Youya has been defeated, which means that the southern border of Youya will also encounter accidents." Then, the first person who needs to make a decision is me, Yan Lingjue Lu Biao! β
"Not long ago, I sent three of my scouts to investigate the state of affairs in the north." "But they all died, died under the iron hooves of Guangcai. β
The dead scouts all died at the hands of Guang Dish Wolf Gu, and he would never be able to say this. They are also scouts, but the combat power possessed by Guangcai Wolf Gu is by no means comparable to the scouts under his Lu Biao. It was a cunning Scout, almost ...... There are no flaws to speak of.
Perhaps, the only flaw is the Praetorian Guard Tiger Siji, who is also a scout. But the Tiger Division also belongs to Guangcai.
The boy was silent, he had no reason to refuse. Even if he had, he wouldn't be able to get out of here alive.
He had no choice.
"You're scared." Lu Wei stared at him, his gaze seemed to be that of a falcon, "Of course you have the right to be afraid, the work of scouts is dangerous, this is undeniable." You can also refuse, I can still let you enter the ordinary division of the standing guard, as an ordinary soldier. β
The boy responded to the grim gaze and nodded heavily.
"Governor!"
"Young man, I appreciate your courage." Lu Biao smiled, "But, listen, you are the only one in the Scout Division now, so now you are the director of the Scout Division, understand?" β
"Governor, I understand." The boy swallowed nervously, "It's just...... Someone is still kind to me. Now that I'm being incorporated into your name, this ...... Isn't that immoral? β
"Oh? Then you can tell me, who is kind to you? Lu Biao was interested.
"In the village west of the city gate, there is a patient who saved me. I have promised to be his apprentice, and I did the theft last night to help him......"
"Boy, you're bargaining with me!" Lu Biao laughed and turned back to stop the maid who was picking up the debris. He himself squatted down to pick up the crumbs of the teacup.
The young man seemed to hear Lu Biao's dislike in his heart, and knew that he had committed a taboo, so he hurriedly changed his words.
"No, Governor LΓΌdu. All I thought in my heart was to bring the old man into the Lu Mansion, and I would take care of his daily life. The boy said, "Moreover, the old man is a patient." For the military service with a scarcity of patients, the Lu Mansion must also urgently need more patients to treat the soldiers, right? β
"Boy, you're very thoughtful." Lu Biao sighed.
"The governor praised it."
"It's not impossible. It's just that if this patient enters my Lu Mansion, what should the surrounding villages that seek healing for their diseases do? β
The boy was stunned, unable to answer.
"Zhi'en Tubao, this is a good thing, what I admire most in Lu Biao is people like you." Lu Biao said loudly, "So the idea of taking that Langzhong to my house is avoided!" But I can promise you that I will give you a specific date to visit him back! β
"Thank you, Governor!" The young man was ecstatic, and he wanted to bow down.
"Eh, boy! Hurry up, there's no need for such a big gift here. Lu Biao waved his hand to signal him to hurry up.
"Young man, let me ask you, what is your name?"
"I ......," the boy lowered his eyes, "I don't have a name." β
"No name?" Lu Biao was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I, Lu Biao, can be regarded as a little thin." If you call the shots today, I'll give you a name! β
He turned and pointed to the woman behind him who was extremely beautiful without powder, "This is my wife with knotted hair, called Sikong Yue." β
"I've seen Mrs. Sikong." The young man hurriedly went to salute Sikong Yue.
"Excuse me, child, since the governor has taken you as a scout, it is a sign of trust and appreciation for you." Sikong Yue got up and helped the young man who was saluting, "Got it, kid?" β
The boy nodded heavily.
"In ancient times, there were six continents in the world, and there was a Xi candle in Xihuaizhou, which looked like a flying phoenix, but it was even more round. It is shaped like a dragon, but it can be even more enchanting. It is carefree, powerful, and lives an extremely quiet life. Later, its power was hated by the lord of the Southern Wilderness, Canglong, and Canglong led the crowd to kill it. Lu Biao stroked the young man's head and said softly, "Later, Xi Candle was reborn, and in order to take revenge, it burned its life to kill Canglong's five imperial attendants, but unfortunately it failed to kill Canglong. β
"You know what? What is the meaning of Xi Candle? Lu Biao looked directly into the young man's eyes.
The boy was silent, and he was completely unaware of this far-reaching myth.
"Xi Candle, that's it...... Emperor Xi is carefree, has no beginning and no end, never betrays, and never ends. Lu Biao's voice was like Taigu Hongmeng, "I only hope that you can be as strong as Xi Candle, strong and not arrogant!" Since then, you have been called Sikong Xi. Got it? β
"Boy, remember." The boy replied slowly.
"Today, you go back and make it clear to the patient that you can stay in my Lu Mansion tomorrow, remember?"
"Sikong Xi remembered." He said.
Lu Biao waved his hand to let the two guards outside the door of the main room in.
"You go with him, remember, make sure to keep Sikong Xi safe."
"Governor, you ...... I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate! Both said.
"Not suitable?" Lu Biao smiled, "Tell me, what's wrong?" β
"First of all, this kid used to be a snitch! You've done all sorts of shady things, but now you're putting him in the Scout Division, which is a problem for raising tigers! A guard stepped forward.
"Think twice, Governor!" Another guard also stepped forward and advised Lu Biao.
"Well, that's not something you need to think about. I've got my own arrangement! Lu Biao waved impatiently and motioned for them to stand down.
"Yes!" The two of them were gloomy, and they both retreated.
Sikong Xi turned around and walked out of the door, and the two of them consciously followed.
"Official, do you think he can be trusted?" Seeing that Sikong Xi had gone away, Sikong Yue pulled Lu Biao's clothes.
"Hehe, ma'am, don't you believe my instincts either?" Lu Biao laughed and hugged Sikong Yue, which couldn't help but cause her to scream.
"The intuition of the official, the slave family may not be somewhat credible." Sikong Yue smiled.
"Listen to me one by one! First of all, under the torture of Yan Yitu, this person can still be calm and light, which is enough to show his resilience. Secondly, the fact that he was able to enter our house and steal many times as if no one was there is a place is enough to show his courage. Moreover, he has a meticulous personality, and although he is still immature, he may not be incapable of being a scout. Lu Biao quietly looked at the aisle where Sikong Xi went, "Moreover, I intend to temper him." β
Sikong Yue didn't ask anymore, but just settled in Lu Biao's arms and gave him a light haircut. This woman, who raised three boys and one girl, has been running this family for too long.
The death of her two eldest sons, she has not been able to let go of it to this day, for Sikong Xi, who inherited her surname. Although she has the demeanor of a mother, she can't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
