Nanchu, Sheshan County. "Eight" "Eight" read "book, .2 ■ ⊥

The mountains and forests are verdant, lush and green, and in a village at the foot of Sheshan Mountain, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners.

The exquisite wooden houses are distributed along the mountain, ironing in line with the mountain, and the exquisiteness reveals the roughness that is in line with the mountain.

The true elder Dao had already changed his outfit, and the Chu people were wearing a short blue-gray coarse cloth and a gray turban wrapped around their heads, looking like ordinary Chu peasants.

Gao Dabao stood in front of several guards, pulled off his turban irritably, scratched his head, and spoke in a perverse tone.

"This bird place, the house is not badly built."

The breeze next to him dragged Gao Dabao, "This is my master's hometown, Lujiazhuang." ”

Gao Dabao said with a big sting: "Yo, no wonder it looks so imposing, it turns out to be the house of the old Lu family." ”

There was a cacophony of noise in the village, sometimes mixed with a little scolding.

Gao Dabao's eyes swept over the sergeant behind him, and he commanded:

"Fifth brother, you go and see what's going on in the village."

Wang Wu, who was dressed like a Chu person, walked out of the crowd and walked towards the village, and when he arrived at the head of the village, he grabbed a passing villager, and after asking a few words carefully, he turned around and came back.

"Let's hide, the Chu army is in the village, and the villagers say that a big official has come to see the head of the Lu family."

True Elder Dao nodded: "Let's hide, let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gao Dabao to speak, he turned around and walked down the ridge, walked along the ridge of the farmland for a while, turned a hill, and saw a small dam.

"We hid on this dam for a while, this was built by my brother Lu Yuan when I was sixteen years old, but I didn't expect it to collapse now."

"Forty years"

True Elder Dao sighed, walked up to the dam, and squatted down at the gate. (9) VIII] (9) VIII] (9) Read] (9) Book, .2 ≧ ↗

Gao Dabao's gaze signaled, and several guards dispersed and climbed up the hillside, paying attention to the surrounding situation. A few Dingxiang guards were not idle, and went around the road and entered the village.

It didn't take long for the janissaries who were monitoring the situation in the village to run down the hillside.

"Captain Gao, the Chu army has left, let's go into the village now?"

Gao Dabao shook his head: "Wait a little longer, now that it's dawn, so many of our strangers have completely exposed our whereabouts when they enter the village." ”

Saying that, Gao Dabao's gaze swept over the true elder Dao, if the old Dao is willing to lead the way, it is not that he cannot enter the village.

Lao Dao squatted on the dam, silent, and watched the water flow.

Qingfeng stood next to Lao Dao, and he also didn't say a word, just staring at his master.

In this way, after Gao Dabao gnawed on the rabbit meat brought back by two subordinates, the night finally began to fall, and the true elder Dao finally stood up.

"Let's go, let's go to the village and take a look, it's too late, the hidden weapon in the village is activated, and we won't be able to enter the village tonight."

After Lao Dao finished speaking, he walked forward first, and Qingfeng glanced at Gao Dabao and followed.

Gao Dabao waved his hand, and all the guards surrounded him and followed.

The group walked across the dam and walked on the ridges of the fields, where the cabbages grew lush green, the red peppers began to rise straight to the sky, the purple eggplants the size of fists, and the buzzing bees lay on the small yellow flowers on the cucumber racks.

After crossing a stone bridge carved with turtles and red birds, the group entered the village.

"Who?"

In the middle of the night, a large rock at the head of the village suddenly heard the sound of shouting.

Qing Feng, who was standing next to the True Elder Dao, was startled, and pulled out the saber at his waist with a brush.

True Elder Dao held down Qingfeng's hand and turned to the big stone:

"Lu Zhonglian, a sixteenth-generation descendant of the Lu family, returned home and asked to see the patriarch."

The big stone suddenly parted, and a young man with a crossbow came out of it, and he looked at the True Elder Dao.

"You are the grandson of Lu Zhonglian, but you didn't pass the assessment?"

True Elder Dao nodded, and his voice was hoarse: "Yes, it's me, I'm here this time, first, to save relatives, and second, to ask for a big event to see the patriarch." ”

The young man's face suddenly darkened, "What else can be a big deal, the sea boat built by my Lu family went wrong, the little prince took a boat out of the East China Sea, and he has not returned yet, and in ten days, our Lu family will be imprisoned." ”

Gao Dabao's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he glanced at Wang Wu, the captain of the Dingxiang Guard next to him, this time the matter is easy to do, the Lu family has external troubles, and it is much easier to walk.

The young man put away his crossbow and beckoned to the crowd and said:

"Let's go, follow me to the third uncle to verify your identity, and I can take you to see the patriarch."

The young man went first, and the true old man beckoned a group of guards to follow, and after a while, everyone entered the village, and when they arrived at the large courtyard in the middle of the village, they saw a white-bearded and white-haired old man lying on a rocking chair and playing a fan.

"Third uncle, this person said he was Lu Zhonglian......"

Before the young man finished speaking, the old man jumped up and excitedly took the hand of the true old man:

"Twelfth brother, you are finally willing to come back, do you know how much my brother looks like you all these years."

"You bastard boy, you're finally willing to come back, how about it, you won't leave when you come back this time?"

At this point, the old man's face suddenly became ugly.

True Yuan Dao patted him on the shoulder: "Third brother, relax, everything has me, I came back this time, just to ......"

"I heard that the Lu family was in dire straits, and I came to rescue the Lu family from danger."

Wang Wu, the captain of Dingxiang Guard, stood up, interrupted the words of the true elder, and said lightly.

True Elder Dao frowned, but he didn't interrupt Wang Wu's words, Wang Wu was right, this time was indeed an opportunity to rescue the Lu family.

Lu Laosan was stunned when he heard this, and eagerly pulled the true old man to the courtyard.

"Let's go, let's go to see the patriarch, for the sake of the sea ship, we are about to be forced to death by the government. When Lu Tao built the sea boat, he made it clear that it could not be changed, and the little prince had to change it, and if something happened, the government had to rely on us. ”

While speaking, the group entered the inner courtyard and saw the brightly lit main hall, where all the elders of the Lu family were sitting in the main hall to discuss matters.

"Uncle Jiu, Zhong Lian is back, he has brought good news and can save ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Laosan reacted, he didn't ask clearly just now.

Wang Wu came out of the crowd and gave a salute to the elders of the Lu family in the main hall.

"Prince Anguo of the Han Kingdom sat down, and Wang Wu, the captain of Dingxiang Guard, was ordered to cooperate with Lord Lu to come to the rescue of the Lu family."

As soon as Wang Wu's voice fell, the main hall immediately fell into silence.

Lu Jiuxiao, the patriarch of the Lu family, who was wearing a satin robe, stood up on crutches, his face was ugly:

"Old man, you brought these people."

"Nonsense, we are the people of Chu State, and you are doing this to put my Lu family in disloyalty and injustice."

Gao Dabao shouted in the back: "Pull the chicken down, put your Lu family in disloyalty and injustice, your family is about to let people raid the family and exterminate the clan, and you are still disloyal and unjust, and your brain is made of, old man." ”

Lu Jiuxiao's face turned red, and after a few violent gasps in his chest, he flipped back and fell straight down.

Lu Laosan looked confused,, you guys, are you here to save the Lu family, or are you here to kill the Lu family. 11
