Final Chapter. Beacon Scroll Sky 330
The characters of the Lu family have always been righteous and squandering money; Therefore, in spite of the abundance of money, he could not save a few pieces of silver all year round; Fortunately, Xiao Lu is on duty in the palace, although Lao Lu is a person who practices martial arts, but he has been old recently, and he has not practiced greatly for a long time, so his daily diet is also light, three meals a day are not good porridge and side dishes, and occasionally he will eat some dry food, which does not cost a few dollars.
Lu Fang put his bags on his back, kicked in and out of the door, turned back to his father who was looking at the door with a crutch, and after telling him about the pickles, he planned to leave home......
"Hey! Don't be in a hurry! Daddy still hasn't finished speaking...... This hapless kid...... Who is the culprit! ”
"A eunuch in Youbei, named Liu Zhi!"
The sentence had just landed, and Lu Fang had already walked out of the alley quickly; However, he only heard a gust of wind behind his head, and subconsciously looked back, only to see that the old Lu who had just walked and was still trembling was already "falling from the sky" with anger on his face; His feet are in a half-lunge, his arms are divided up and down, and his hands are slightly spread in a tiger claw style, apparently making a captive posture:
"Little bunny, are you dead? Go back with Lao Tzu! ”
To say that this father and son are in the same industry, although they are in the same lineage, there are always some difficulties. Although outsiders say that their Lu family father and son are better than the blue; But how does Lao Lu Zhutou think of his son, how do he feel that he still owes some heat.
Although his son's knife skills are actually half higher than his own; Qi, blood and strength are in their heyday, far better than their own old bones; But the old Jianghu's style, coupled with the dignity of his father and boss, made him always pick his nose and eyes at his son, and everyone before and after him looked like he "looked down on him".
Of course, most of those stubborn old men who are "ambitious tigers" look like this, and Xiao Lu has long been used to it.
However, today he saw that the door that Lao Lu showed was the trick of the Lu family masters to "guard the door" - sixty-four yin and yang hands! This old Lu is obviously really angry!
"Father, father! We have something to say! Father and son, don't bring a black hand to play! ”
Lu Fang hurriedly stood firm, put his legs together, lowered his head and lowered his hands, and respectfully waited for the old man's reprimand. However, when Yan saw his son's humble appearance of being taught, beaten and scolded, Lao Lu Zhutou was also stunned, and he didn't know how to speak......
For his son, although Lao Lu is his mouth, he is like a mirror in his heart. In addition to his lack of experience and easy to "cheat", this child is already higher than himself everywhere. But against the murderer Liu Zhi in this case, even if their father and son go into battle together, they may not be other people's opponents.
Liu Zhi's master, Lu Xiangyin, came from under the gate of Xuanyue Dao Palace, and the soft style of wrapping his fingers with one hand has long been superb. It's just that he was victimized by the paranoia in his character, and he self-righteously practiced a dense and long Xuanmen martial arts into a strange and cunning killing technique; In this way, although his combat effectiveness has been improved, it has greatly shortened the upper limit of his personal cultivation and what he can achieve.
In his later years, Lu Xiangyin, who had never made an inch of progress in his cultivation, finally realized his problem: this Xuanmen exercise had been practiced by himself. In desperation, he could only pin all his hopes on his apprentice Liu Zhi; In order to cultivate a top master, he did not hesitate to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and enter the Nanquan Zen Buddhism of Nankang Minjiang Road at night.
The reason why Lu Xiangyin ordered his apprentice to practice Xuan is also a point of his cleverness. Liu Zhi is different from him, this son has a simple heart and a tough personality, but unfortunately he is not smart enough and has a mediocre understanding, and it is difficult to penetrate the subtleties of Xuanmen martial arts. And in this way, the martial arts of Shimen, which requires great perseverance and an ethereal mind to achieve something, has become the best choice for Liu Zhi.
If today's Liu Zhi has already opened the top martial arts of the Liberation Sect - the stele hand, and practiced to the realm; So from the point of view of strength, this son is only afraid that he is on par with his master Lu Xiangyin. In the face of such a top master, with Lu Fang's quick knife alone, I am afraid that he will only be sent to death!
So from this point of view, Lao Lu will definitely not let his son kill himself.
However, although Lao Lu catches the head as a father, he is also a golden knife catcher and has a public office. From the point of view of official affairs, if you eat the king's luck, you will bear the king's worries; His son Lu Fang is already the most outstanding one among the golden knife catchers! If he can't take it, send someone else to give it for nothing!
In the work of selfishness, dilemma. So after holding back for a long time, Lao Lu Zhutou spit out a sentence with difficulty:
"Son...... Can you ever hit someone? ”
When Lu Fang, who was young and full of achievements, heard his father's simple and unpretentious question, the six round holes at the top of the city gate cave immediately appeared in his mind......
"Hanging ......"
When Lao Lu Zhutou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It turns out that his son also knows how bad it is! The two of them opened their words, and Lao Lu also relaxed the door of the yin and yang hands, and then after thinking for a long time, he slapped his thigh:
"Go, pack up for my father, and let's go on an errand together."
Lu Fang looked at his old father and was silent for a long time, then asked in a low voice:
"Daddy...... Then let's add a piece, can we beat Liu Zhi? ”
"Hey, say you're inexperienced, you're still unconvinced! If you can't fight or not, you can put it aside first, and there is no rule for one person to go to handle the case! Even if you can't beat it, you two can run back and report the news! ”
Lao Lu's words are right, whether it is a bad person in the official face or a bandit in the rivers and lakes; Except for the snitch, who has always been a loner, there is never a rule for one person to act! As the saying goes, one person is dead and two people are alive, and there is a care for each other.
Fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers.
Lu Fang went back to pack up a few of his father's clothes, and turned out a piece of fine and soft, and the father and son dressed up in ordinary clothes, and left Beijing and went west from the South West Gate overnight......
The father and son are worthy of being royal catchers, and they dare to resolutely go west without any evidence. I have to say that experience and experience are indeed wealth that needs to be precipitated and polished.
The reason why Lao Lu is so arbitrary is because considering the current situation, there will be no other possibilities.
Youbei Third Road was originally the place of Liu Zhi's death. And it is likely that there are many eyeliners of Shen Gui, the big Buddha, shamanism and green forest road, who are also waiting for Liu Zhi in their eyes. Therefore, he would never dare to go north and go out of the customs.
And go due north, after the Great Wall is the Mobei grassland. Liu Zhi hid in the Huashen Sect before, but since Guo Xing's defeat and the disappearance of the sect leader Zhang Yuan, the Huashen Sect has lost its backbone and has become a pool of loose sand, almost destroyed. That's why he, a lost dog, will now go south to enter the customs and vote for a new master.
Judging from the internal reasons for Zhu Yuntao's stabbing case, the new master of Liu Zhi should be Zhou Changyong, the prince of Northern Yan. He is the only one who has a reason to take risks and brazenly stab Zhou Changfeng, who has completely collapsed and the prisoner car has entered the capital.
What is Prince Zhou Changyong most worried about right now? It is none other than the fourth brother Zhou Chang'an, who fought bloodily to protect the country, recovered the lost land of Sanqin, and made great contributions. If Liu Zhi is his lackey, then the assassination of Zhou Changfeng in Beijing has completely exposed Xingzang; Of course, while this vicious dog is still useful, we should try to solve as many major problems as possible.
Therefore, according to Lao Lu's judgment, Liu Zhi's next assassination target was Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince, who was cleaning up the mess in Chang'an City. As the so-called different paths lead to the same end, it doesn't matter which way Liu Zhi goes.
The father and son rode fast horses and drove a long way for a day and night. It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Lao Lu Zhutou calculated the footsteps, so he made the decision to find a nearby village and town, and temporarily drink horses and rest for the night.
The father and son walked a short distance along the official road, and went straight to the curling smoke from the sunset; After half an hour, they came to the entrance of the village.
This place is located at the junction of Jizhou and Sanjin, because the Northern Yan army is now besieging Pang Qingshan's department everywhere, so there are still many strong men at the entrance of the village to practice, carrying simple guns and large gongs, cautious patrol and vigilance.
"Stop!"
As soon as I saw two men galloping on fast horses, the head of the regiment training who was patrolling the village entrance, shook his gun in his hand, and pointed at Lu Fang, who was riding a horse first, and shouted loudly; The villagers located on the watchtower also lifted the gong in their hands, ready to warn the village at any time.
"Don't be nervous, we are the fourth-grade officials of the imperial court, and we also have official documents as evidence, so you can check your identity!"
"What do you mean?"
“…… We are both officials, and we have official documents from the imperial court! Can you call someone who knows how to read and check it? ”
Lu Fang rolled his eyes helplessly, and at the same time dismounted and picked up his knife, and took out a golden knife to catch the fast brand and shook it. And the Tuan Lian frowned, and did not easily believe his words, but whispered a few words to a villager beside him; After the other party ran away, he shouted loudly:
"Then you put the knife on the ground first, and a person walks over slowly......"
Lu Fang responded to his words and walked to the opposite side of the regimental training leader; It didn't take long for an old man with a white beard and a strong spirit, led by the villager, to the entrance of the village.
Most of the villagers in the village are farmers or hunters, and there are not many literate people. After the respected old master checked the official documents of the father and son, he bowed, apologized repeatedly, and asked the two Jingcha to enter the village to rest.
After the father and son of the Lu family walked into the village, the head of the group of trainers stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Village chief, who are these old and young?"
"Hey, it's big, these two are four pins of Jingcha! But I think they all look like people who practice martial arts, and there may be chaos tonight, so that the villagers are in good spirits! ”
"Oh, you practice martial arts...... It can't kill anyone, right? ”
This so-called group training coach is a farmer who has no loss and knows his own catties; As soon as he heard that both of them were martial artists, his tone immediately became a little vague. And the village chief, who looked like a master, glared at him and scolded in a low voice:
"No one in our village has violated the king's law, what kind of life can be born? It seems that they are two immortals passing by, just serve well. Remember, they're going to burn down the village, and you go and help light the torches; They're going to demolish the house, and you go and move the ladder! ”
