Chapter 3: The Wind Rises
Uncle Fu, who treated him like his own son, didn't survive, who wanted his life? Lu Zhan repeatedly asked himself who he had offended, and the people around him had suffered such a calamity.
No one thought that the seemingly weak kitten would become a roaring tiger in the future. Kittens that have been kept in captivity for more than ten years were stimulated to fry their hair on this day.
Seeing Lu Zhan's depressed appearance with tears in the corners of his eyes, Xiao Yezi hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, don't be too sad. Now there are still friends from your former trip to Shuozhou who have come to visit you. ”
The little leaf's lark-like call pulled Lu Zhan back. Hearing that his friend was coming, Lu Zhan hid this sadness deep in his heart.
After getting dressed, I opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.
"Brother Yuanshan (Lu Zhan's words), I heard that you have just recovered from a serious illness, and I came to visit you with Brother Zibai." Lu Zhan followed the source of the voice, and two young people dressed as students in green shirts walked over, followed by a few small people carrying gifts. Lu Zhan recognized these two people with his memory and Xiao Yezi's words before, and the one who spoke just now was one of Lu Zhan's friends, Tang Liyi. The Zibai in Tang Liyi's mouth is Lu Zhan's other friend Xu Hao.
Tang Liyi's words and deeds reveal a bookish anger that is completely different from Xu Hao's temperament, and I don't know how he became close friends with these two people back then. Maybe it's a teenager's heart.
"Brother Lu, you must have been harmed by Miss Zhang's family when you were sick like that before, if we two didn't just joke with her, she threatened to clean up Brother Lu. Before, the doctor said that you were poisoned, it must be that ......" Xu Hao was interrupted by Tang Liyi when he said this.
"Xu Hao, how can you say such a thing, Miss Zhang's family may just be joking, we have no evidence that she did it, and the Zhang family's speed is too fast, and we are here to visit Brother Lu today." Seeing Tang Liyi looking like a master educating students, it was very funny. After all, Lu Zhan and them are only sixteen years old now.
On Suzaku Street in the imperial capital, a plainly decorated carriage drove in the direction of the imperial palace, and the old man sitting in the car gave people a sense of transcendence and worldliness.
"Teacher, there is the palace in front of you." The young officer who had observed a special astrology spoke up. The old man slowly stepped out of the carriage, and the attendant handed the waist card symbolizing his identity to the forbidden army, and the guard guarding the door answered and handed the waist card to the captain on duty to check. As soon as the captain on duty saw the waist card, he immediately greeted the old man respectfully. Then he opened the heavy palace door and welcomed the old man and the little officer in the green robe in.
"My lord, what is the way that old man came from just now, it is worth asking you to put your posture so low." A soldier guarding the palace gate asked puzzled.
"There is only one person in the world who has that waist card, and that is Mr. Yun, who tells the will of God to the world. This time I suddenly came to meet the saint, maybe something important. If you don't want to die, keep your mouth in order, and don't let Lao Tzu know that you are secretly chewing the root of your tongue. The lieutenant said viciously to the people under him.
Just when the legendary Mr. Yun went to face the saint, a middle-aged man in a large mansion in the imperial capital was furious, and a young girl was being trained with her head down. This middle-aged man is the Zhang family's family leader, and the girl who was reprimanded is the Miss Zhang family in Xu Hao's mouth.
"Xiaoyu, how did my father educate you on weekdays, a girl's family goes out to play all day long, like a young man, what kind of system is this! The second kid of the Lu family, who had a dispute with you last time, survived thanks to his fate, and you said that you were going to poison him, but he was poisoned as soon as he went back. Fortunately, Lu Ji's old puppet still has a little brain, so he didn't come to my Zhang family to make trouble. ”
Zhang Yu, who was dressed in white, raised his head and grabbed Master Zhang's arm. "Daddy, this time it's the daughter who is not good, so Daddy is worried, the child will never go out to make trouble in the future, you can spare me this time." A pair of big eyes looked at it, and his handsome face was full of sincerity and pity.
"You think your father doesn't know you yet, alas, forget it this time, but you have to go to Lu's house to apologize to that kid." Zhang Yuan sighed helplessly, looking at his eccentric daughter who was jumping away.
In a luxuriously furnished room, a middle-aged man dressed as a master with a long beard tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and secretly scolded in his heart: Count your Lu Zhan's life, the poison I bought from Miao Jiang didn't poison you, although you escaped by luck, but my preparations are more than that.
After Lu Zhan sent away the two good brothers, he played Tai Chi in his courtyard that he learned in college physical education, and this kind of physical fitness martial art is not a secret, after all, Lu Zhan also practiced this way in Shuozhou on weekdays. After all, after seeing Lu Zhan, the doctor also said that exercise is good for health.
Lu Zhan took a cup of tea from Xiao Yezi who was standing aside, wiped his sweat, and sat on the stone bench at the edge of the courtyard. Looking at Xiao Yezi, who had been standing, he remembered that this little girl had been standing since she started to play Tai Chi, and Lu Zhan played the excellent quality of a good young man in the new era and the quality of pity and cherishing jade.
"Xiao Yezi, come and sit, you have been standing since I started to do Tai Chi, and you will not take a break, no matter how tired you are, sit down and rest." Lu Zhan gave a smile that he thought was sunny.
Xiao Yezi's face suddenly turned red, and he said with some panic and some confusion: "Young master, the slave is not tired, how dare the slave and the maid sit with the son, mess up the etiquette."
"Xiao Yezi, since I went to Shuozhou, I have thought about a lot of things, you don't call yourself a slave in the future, people should be born free and equal, there is no distinction between high and low, so you don't have to look like that in front of the young master." Lu Zhan's voice fell, and Xiao Yezi's pretty face looked like a red apple.
Lu Zhan secretly said in his heart: After all, Mr. De and Mr. Sai have not yet been born at the moment, and their behavior is undoubtedly deviant in the eyes of these people.
Although Xiao Yezi felt that Lu Zhan's words were deviant, his heart was still warm when he saw how the young master cared about him. At this moment, an idea popped up in Xiao Yezi's heart, the young master wouldn't be interesting to me, Xiao Yezi suddenly felt that he didn't know how to be ashamed when he thought of this, how could the young master fall in love with a slave.
Lu Zhan saw Xiao Yezi stunned in place, so he grabbed Xiao Yezi's hand and pulled Xiao Yezi to his side and sat down. Xiao Yezi, who was suddenly pulled to the stone bench by Lu Zhan, saw Lu Zhan holding his hand, and his already red face turned even redder.
The moment Lu Zhan touched Xiao Yezi's hand, he felt that this jade hand was very smooth to the touch, like silk, and this smooth touch made Lu Zhan reluctant to let go. After Lu Zhan removed the idea of ape in his heart, he took his eyes off the little hand and looked at Xiao Yezi's pretty face. It's not amazing at first glance, but the little leaves belong to the kind that gets more and more durable the more you look at it.
Lu Zhan and Xiao Yezi looked at each other, Xiao Yezi was a girl with thin skin after all, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly into Lu Zhan's eyes. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Just when Lu Zhan didn't know how to break the embarrassment, a person dressed as a subordinate hurriedly ran towards Lu Zhan.
"The second young master is not good, the eldest young master he.... Something happened to him. The subordinate said breathlessly.
"What's wrong with my cousin?"
"One of the eldest young master's personal guards was seriously injured and was found outside the city. It is said that the eldest young master was attacked by a group of unknown gangsters in Shuocheng, his life and death are unknown, and he was lucky to break out of the siege and come to report the news, and the master has taken the personal soldiers of the house to gather soldiers and horses to prepare to rush to Shuozhou. ”
In Lu Zhan's image, his cousin Lu Tingchen is a handsome young man who can write and martial arts, and he has been trained as the future successor of the Lu family since he was a child, and he is also very good to Lu Zhan. When he learned that Lu Tingchen was in danger in Shuozhou, he was bound to go to Shuozhou.
Lu Zhan didn't care much, so he rode out with a few entourages and headed west.
"Avoid it, the son of the Lu family has something urgent, get out of the way!" A guard on horseback shouted at the top of his voice.
Pedestrians on the road avoided each other, as if they were used to such a scene. Lu Zhan, the second young master Lu on horseback, was uncomfortable and tight, and when he went out, he felt very majestic on horseback, and the entourage who was riding with him saw Lu Zhan's face pale and immediately pulled up the horse's chew.
"Young master, it's only good that the villain forgets that the young master is seriously ill."
"It's okay, Young Master Ben just didn't get used to it." Just when Lu Zhan stopped to rest, more than a dozen black-clothed people quietly took down the crossbow machine from behind him, slowly loaded the arrows onto the crossbow machine, and locked the target on Lu Zhan's body.
Sou!
Sou!
Sou!
Lu Zhan only heard the sound of crossbow arrows cutting through the air, and was immediately pounced on the ground by several guards, and the guards of the Lu Mansion immediately protected Lu Zhan in the middle. At this moment, Lu Zhan was stunned by the scene in front of him, how could a few living people lose their vitality after a few breaths, and the pungent smell of blood began to permeate.
It's over, my little life is just lost here. Lu Zhan thought desperately, there were only three guards left beside him, and those black-clothed people fell from the roof. The steel knife in his hand refracted a dazzling light, and in Lu Zhan's eyes, it seemed to be a life-threatening lightning.
Run! This is the first thought that pops up in Lu Zhan's mind, as the saying goes, if you can't beat it, you can run, and a good man doesn't suffer the loss in front of him. However, the men in black formed a coalition and surrounded the four surviving people.
Lu Zhan remembered the last words of Tai Shici, a famous general in Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period: The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements: what he will do today is unsuccessful, but he will die!
Just poisoned and assassinated, this luck is simply the same as just crossing Emperor Cheng Chongzhen said that Li Zicheng entered the city, crossed into Zhang Zuolin to Huanggutun, and crossed into Li Jiancheng to Xuanwu Gate.
