Chapter 10: Purposeful Temptation
Fang Wenhou thought that Lu Kai would have to stay at least half an hour when he came to the Taishi Mansion, but he didn't expect that the person would come out before half a cup of tea arrived, and he couldn't help but wonder at the moment, and he didn't know what the Taishi and Lu Kai said so quickly, could it be that they had a disagreement? How could this be, how could Taishi be based on officialdom for most of his life, and how could he drive people out because of a disagreement.
Judging from Lu Kai's expression, it didn't look like he had a quarrel, and Fang Wenhou didn't ask much if he had some questions in his heart.
Fang Wenhou saw someone coming over and asked politely, "This is going back to the office?" ”
Lu Kai smiled and said, "If you want to visit Bei'an, you don't allow it, so naturally you will return to the office."
Lu Kai got into the carriage first, and Fang Wenhou didn't move and asked, "If you feel bored, let's talk together?" ”
Fang Wenhou would not want to get in the car for no reason, Lu Kai knew that the other party had something to say and smiled, "Come up, someone said it's okay to talk"
Fang Wenhou went up and motioned for the cavalry to set off, and Lu Kai said, "Those people killed me to stop me from sending peace books, how could I come in and kill me when I arrived, and there is no need for so many people to follow me in and out."
Fang Wenhou said, "You can't say that, the book is delivered, but the envoy is still the envoy after all, safety is the top priority, and you can't be sloppy at all."
Fang Wenhou said this, and Lu Kai refuted speechlessly.
The two were silent for a while, and Fang Wenhou glanced at people intentionally or unintentionally before asking, "There is something to ask"
Lu Kaidao "If you have something to ask, why be polite"
Fang Wenhou said, "Can you elaborate on the ambush that Bei Anlin encountered that night?" ”
Lu Xingxin was faintly uneasy and asked tentatively, "Details?" Why? ”
Fang Wenhou reacted a little strangely to Lu Kai, and replied, "I am here to capture the people who ambushed him."
Lu Xingxin was secretly anxious, "Is he suspicious of what happened that night?" ”
Since Fang Wenhou asked him to tell the situation that night, then he must have been to the scene or asked people to investigate, I don't know what Fang Wenhou is in his hands at the moment, Lu Kai's breathing is gradually heavy, as long as he can't deal with it well, he will be completely exposed.
Although he couldn't guess how much Fang Wenhou had mastered, there was one thing that Lu Kai knew very well, no matter how much he prevaricated, he couldn't say it well, of course Lu Kai would not forget the heavy rain, the rain would cover up some traces, but it couldn't cover up that he and Dai Qian had been to the scene.
Lu Kai could only tell the truth with mixed truths, pretending to think back to the situation at the time and said, "That night, I rushed to Bei'an, and when I passed by Bei'an Lin, I suddenly felt that there was a hidden weapon attacking, and I didn't see what kind of hidden weapon was sent at the time, so I could only start the sword swing away for self-protection, and after blocking the hidden weapon, one person jumped out to draw my attention, and the other person took advantage of my inattention to carry out a sneak attack, and I was not in a hurry to deal with it for a while, so I was plotted, and the coolies supported the fight, and the two heard the hussars rolling horses' hooves in the distance, so they fled."
When Fang Wenhou listened to Lu Kai's explanation, he had been paying attention to Lu Kai's expression, and he didn't get anything from his expression for a while, and he didn't hear any flaws in his speech.
Fang Wenhou said: "We are investigating the ambusher, the two of us are the same as you said."
Lu Xingxing secretly shouted that it was dangerous, and he thought about making up another set of rhetoric, but fortunately he didn't say it, otherwise he would have been recognized by Fang Wenhou on the spot, Lu Kai asked, "I'm curious, how did you know that there were two people in the ambush?" ”
Fang Wenhou has nothing to hide, "It's very simple, the rain was very strong that night, and the footprints were gone, judging from the broken branches of the flowers and plants on the side of the road."
Lu Kai complimented, "The Northern Shu hussars are powerful in the world, so that the person who killed me can escape when he hears the news, thanks to the general, he escaped"
Lu Kai didn't pay attention to Fang Wenhou's praise, and the sound of horses' hooves was like that, and he didn't see who was coming in front of him, Fang Wenhou smiled and didn't take the credit, "It's all about the superb martial arts of the festival envoy to protect himself without worry."
Lu Kai's words didn't show any flaws, but Fang Wenhou still didn't believe that this was the real situation that happened that night, the reason was still on the ambusher, from another point of view, if he sent someone to ambush him, he sent himself a loyal confidant, how could he go back if he didn't achieve his goal, and at the same time, he wouldn't stop because they arrived.
Fang Wenhou felt that Lu Kai didn't tell the truth, why did Lu Kai hide something from him? Seeing that Lu Kai was wrong, Lu Kai's whole person was wrong in Fang Wenhou's heart, but this was just a feeling, if he really said something wrong, he couldn't say it.
Something was wrong, Fang Wenhou was very sure of this, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this envoy, Fang Wenhou decided to test the authenticity and suddenly asked, "I don't know if the wolf guard rode Tuoba Yanxi, has the gunshot wound in his left shoulder healed?" ”
Fang Wenhou's words, Lu Kai was like a great enemy, Fang Wenhou began to doubt the authenticity of his envoy when he asked this, Lu Kai was vigilant, but he smiled slightly, "The general is mistaken, the injury should have been healed in the right shoulder."
Tuoba Yanxi is the general of the wolf guard cavalry of the Southern Wei Dynasty, half a year ago Tuoba Yanxi led the wolf guard cavalry and Fang Wenhou to fight a battle at the border, Tuoba Yanxi got a shot from Fang Wenhou, so he had no choice but to lead the cavalry to retreat.
Before Lu Kai came to Bei'an, he had already investigated every battle fought in Southern Wei and Northern Shu in detail, and also explored the affairs of half of the officials in Northern Shu.
Fang Wenhou originally deliberately said the opposite, but when he heard Lu Kai say it was true, he pretended to remember it and smiled, "It's the right shoulder, you see my memory"
Lu Kaicai didn't believe that Fang Wenhou would be wrong, people were injured by themselves, how could they be wrong when the enemy was injured on the left and right.
Fang Wenhou was a little curious and asked, "Do you also recognize Tuoba Yanxi?" ”
Lu Kai's reaction was very cold, and said, "There have been several acquaintances, and he went to visit when he was injured, what does General Fang mean?" Do you think that my Southern Wei warriors are inferior to you? ”
Fang Wenhou apologized at the moment and said, "Of course I don't mean that, I also admire Tuoba Yanxi, but I hurt him because of the different positions, but I didn't think that when the battle was fought, Brother Lu was also in Xiying."
Lu Kai said coldly, "It's the North Camp, General Fang is wrong again, at that time, you attacked from the east, the wolf guards and cavalry warriors all had a pair of wolf eyes, how could you not see that this was a feint, it was to lead the army to the east and go straight forward, if it wasn't for General Fang's shot, we would have already attacked the border of Beishu"
Fang Wenhou smiled wryly, "It's Beiying, there have been a lot of things recently, you see that I am wrong again"
Lu Kai snorted coldly: "The general is testing me?" Or are you tempting something? ”
Fang Wenhou smiled kindly, "It's not interesting, just ask casually"
Lu Kai looked at each other coldly, and asked unceremoniously: "Is there anything else the general wants to ask casually?" ”
Fang Wenhou smiled, "It's me who is wrong, don't worry," Fang Wenhou apologized.
With a "whoop", the coachman stopped the carriage.
The coachman got out of the carriage first, lifted the pedal down and put it down, and then said, "Envoy, general, to the pawn office."
The two stepped out of the car one after the other, Fang Wenhou seemed to be very forgetful, and seemed to have forgotten the content of the conversation in the car just now, Fang Wenhou smiled and said, "I had a good time talking with the festival envoy, and I sent the festival envoy for a while."
Those tentative conversations in the car, Lu Kai asked it to stay in the car, and the two of them didn't say a word about it, this is Fang Wenhou's land, even if it is investigated, it is useless.
Lu Kai behaved more forgetful than Fang Wenhou, and said with a smile, "General, please"
As soon as the two of them pawned the gate of the guest office, a soldier behind Fang Wenhou stepped forward, "General. . . ”
Fang Wenhou glanced at it and apologized to Lu Kai, "Unfortunately, there are military affairs to deal with, come over another day"
Lu Kai didn't leave anyone behind, and said with a smile, "The general is in an important position, so he won't leave you if he is busy with official business."
The two smiled and said goodbye like friends.
Lu Kai returned to his own small courtyard, and just raised his feet to enter the door, he saw Cheng Weilian's eyes with a bad look firmly locked on him, Lu Xingxing smiled bitterly, "It seems that there is trouble coming to the door again"
If there is trouble, it will be solved, Lu Kai arched his hand and smiled, "Why did the order come?" ”
Cheng Weilian didn't have the same tentative posture as Fang Wenhou, and opened his mouth to ask directly, "What did you say to Chang Yue?" ”
Lu Kai said, "Ouch, this is not easy to say, I talked with the Taishi about a lot of anecdotes about the Southern Wei Dynasty, I don't know which one the order asked?" ”
Cheng Weilian thought, what kind of bullshit anecdote about the Southern Wei Dynasty must be to tell him about his affair.
Cheng Wei didn't even say a word, grabbed the "Shenfeng" sword, and shouted in annoyance, "Long tongue!" I'll cut it! ”
He Jie's envoy made a move, whether he saw blood or not, it was a big crime of his brother-in-law, Cheng Wei didn't even care about it at all, the Shenfeng sword suddenly sounded out of the sheath, and the sword blade broke through the air and flew to Lu Kai's throat.
