Volume 1 The Beginning of the Warring States Chapter 046 Fog (I)

Ximen Hou immediately knelt down and said, "The villain should be damned!" But the villain dares to guarantee that Lu Yu is an upright person with his head on his neck, and he will definitely not favor Longyang Jun and destroy the king's plan to save the people. ”

Lu Yu also pleaded with Xinling Jun for Ximen Hou: "Please don't blame Brother Ximen, it's all because you are anxious to find the whereabouts of Zhang Wu and others, today's incident is all due to a mistake, if you want to blame, you are willing to bear it." ”

Xinling Junhu said suspiciously: "Lu Yu, apart from wanting to know Zhang Wu's whereabouts, you really don't have any other intentions?" ”

Lu Yu pointed to the broken army sword on his waist and said: "Although I didn't participate in this operation, but with this sword, everyone in Yunmeng Mountain Gate knows it, and I also know the relationship between this sword and Venerable Master and Zhang Wu, if it weren't for Teng Wenzan's matter, I ordered Zhang Wu to go to Daliang first, so as not to delay the big event, how could I lose contact with them now?" ”

Xin Lingjun asked again: "Is this serious?" ”

Lu Yu said: "Why don't you call Zhang Wu's third senior brother out to identify this sword?" ”

Xin Lingjun was finally convinced, and shouted "Okay", before Ximen Hou got up, raised his wine glass and said, "This gentleman is here to punish himself with a glass." After raising his head and drinking it, he said, "I hope Lu Yu don't be surprised, Benjun also wants to be careful to do this." ”

Of course, Lu Yu said no on the surface, but in his heart he secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if it wasn't for Zhang Wu giving him the broken army sword, how could he convince this shrewd Xinling Jun without any tokens?

Xinlingjun laughed and said, "What do you want to know in exchange for one thing?" ”

Lu Yu thought that he had deliberately wooed himself at the beginning, and now he indirectly owed him a favor because Ximen Hou saved Xiao Zhengwen, so he had no choice but to say, "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

Xin Lingjun smiled again and said: "Lu Yu, don't think that Benjun is asking you to serve me here, Benjun just wants you to do something for me, if it can be done, Benjun will immediately tell Zhang Wu's whereabouts." ”

Lu Yu secretly screamed in his heart, if Xin Lingjun repeatedly asked him to serve him, not only would he be disgusted, but with his own character, even if he agreed, he would not do things for him with all his heart, so Xin Lingjun exchanged another thing, but of course this matter would not be so easy to do. He nodded immediately and said: "The king is a highly respected person, and I believe that he will never embarrass him with a thing that violates morality." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, he was given a high hat, and even if Xin Lingjun wanted to do something hurtful to himself, he was embarrassed to speak.

Xinlingjun said with a smile: "Okay, Lu Yu, when the king of the dynasty ordered Benjun to enter the palace, he once said that the Yan people sent envoys to my Daliang and sent 100 beauties and 10 swordsmen, so as to borrow troops from my Great Wei." The king ordered a banquet to be held tomorrow night, and tomorrow night there will be a sword competition. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Lingjun deliberately stopped and looked at the two with a smile.

Ximen Hou asked, "What does the king mean, will my Great Wei swordsmen challenge the Yanren warriors?" ”

Xin Lingjun smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Lu Yu again.

Lu Yu said: "In my humble opinion, the king should want to take advantage of this to frustrate Yan talents." ”

Xinlingjun laughed and said, "Lu Yu really didn't disappoint Benjun. The Yan people suffered a loss at the hands of the Qi people, and now they have come to curry favor with my Great Wei, the purpose is to kiss our Great Wei State, make my Great Wei and the Qi people have a bad relationship, and contain Tian Dan militarily, so that the Yan people can take advantage of it. ”

A hint of jealousy flashed in Ximenhou's eyes.

Lu Yu asked: "After the Guiling and Maling World War II, hasn't the relationship between the Wei people and the Qi people been very poor?" It's not surprising that the Yan people would have this thought. ”

Ximen Hou disagreed and said: "The Qi State is just surviving now. ”

Xinling Jun said: "This time is different from the past. On that day, my Great Wei was indeed invincible to the Qi people, and now although the Qi State is declining, there is Tian Dan one day, and no one can think of destroying the Qi State. Just looking at the strength of this gentleman, he actually recovered more than 70 cities captured by the Yan people, it is enough to know that this person uses soldiers like a god. Therefore, Benjun said that there is a reason why Yan people do not measure their own strength. ”

Lu Yu knew that Tian Dan was an outstanding military strategist during the Warring States Period. This era is indeed an extremely mysterious period, hundreds of schools of thought were born in this era, Taoism, Confucianism, Moism, Legalism, etc., almost all of them were born in this era, and their ideas have influenced the development of the entire society for thousands of years.

Xin Lingjun said again: "Don't talk about Qi people. Ben Jun decided that tomorrow night's banquet will be accompanied by the two of you, first, you can cut the face of Yan Ren, and second, Ben Jun hopes to give that Long Yang Jun a dismount. ”

Lu Yu said in his heart, so that's the case. At that time, Long Yangjun, who is the first sword master in Wei State, will definitely send someone to participate, and maybe he will appear in person, while Xinling Jun hopes to kill two birds with one stone and steal the limelight of Long Yangjun, and at the same time show Long Yangjun that he has many capable people, and he does not need to blow the pillow wind to the King of Wei to curry favor like Long Yangjun. But for the King of Wei, assuming that Xinling Jun got his wish, it would only increase the Wei King's dissatisfaction and suspicion of him.

It is recorded in history that Xinlingjun finally died because of his high merit and addiction to wine, but Longyangjun was able to die well. Based on the reason why Long Yangjun used a living person to make alchemy, Lu Yu decided to help Xinlingjun this time.

Originally, he had a good impression of Long Yangjun before, but Long Yangjun did something wrong in this matter, even if it wasn't because of Xiao Zhengwen, in order to avoid making more people suffer, Lu Yu also felt that he should do something on Xinlingjun's side.

But Lu Yu vaguely felt that Xinlingjun should not just want to win himself over, or fight with Longyangjun These two things, there should be something hidden in them. But Lu Yu couldn't say or catch it accurately, it was just a feeling in his heart, why was the person who was rescued Xiao Zhengwen and not someone else, and he was rescued from Long Yangjun's men, how could things be so coincidental?

Is he thinking too much, or does Xinlingjun have another purpose?

Lu Yu mentioned Xiao Zhengwen to Xinlingjun again, hoping that he could bring him to Xinlingjun's mansion to recuperate, although he could hide his eyes and ears in the remote hut in the north of the city, but after all, it was inconvenient for him to take care of him, and he could not rule out being discovered, if he could take Xiao Zhengwen in Xinlingjun's mansion, it would naturally be the safest.

Xin Lingjun agreed and said, "That Xiaowen is Lu Yu's brother, so naturally you have to take good care of it." He sent Ximen Hou to bring Xiao Zhengwen to the mansion.

Accompanied by Lu Yu, Xiao Zhengwen lay down in the carriage and was smoothly taken to the Xinling Monarch's Mansion.

After changing into a set of clean clothes, Xiao Zhengwen looks more energetic, but he still has some difficulty speaking. Lu Yu knew that the injury on his chest was not healed, so he didn't ask much, just let him rest.

In order to cope with tomorrow night's competition, he was pulled by Ximen Hou to the martial arts training ground to have a discussion with him, only to find that when Ximen Hou borrowed the sword to compete with the samurai, Lu Yu felt that his swordsmanship was very profound, but now he felt that there were big flaws in his moves.

It's just that he hasn't fully mastered the Yin Fu Seven Swords taught by Guiguzi yet, so he still can't compare to him in terms of speed. Sometimes he clearly saw the flaws exposed when Ximen Hou took out the sword, but he missed it because his reaction and speed couldn't keep up with the other party.

But the subtlety of the Yin Fu Seven Swords, how can Ximen Hou be the enemy? Facts have proved that after learning hundreds of swords, Ximen Hou was finally forced by Lu Yu's unpredictable sword path to parry and admit defeat, so in terms of using swords, Lu Yu has actually surpassed Ximen Hou, but he has not been able to reach the ideal speed, and secretly thinks that he should put more effort into practicing swords in the future, otherwise he will encounter a master like Long Yangjun, who is better than Ximen Hou, even if he has the world's best swordsmanship, he may fail miserably because he has not yet reached the fire.

After taking a bath comfortably, Ximen Hou excitedly came to pull him to Zuilanfang, but Lu Yu felt a little interested and lacked interest because the Qinglou was related to Long Yangjun, and he didn't understand why Ximen Hou always wanted to go knowing that it was Long Yangjun's territory. But in the end, Lu Yu couldn't resist him, so he had to follow him.

After all, men still can't pass the women's level. Lu Yu couldn't help but think of that Yu'er again, wondering if this mysterious beauty would also take the elixir refined from living people like Long Yangjun.

For some reason, Lu Yu felt in her heart that if she took off the veil, she should be as fresh and refined as a fairy, and she would not "go with the same stream" as Long Yangjun.

Lu Yu decided to investigate the matter privately, but he couldn't let Xinlingjun's people know, including Ximen Hou.

The second time he set foot in the Qinglou, Lu Yu's courage was not small, the reason is that this is not the kind of illegal place where there is only physical trade after 2,000 years, in this era, brothels have just developed, and most of the flower girls have a good level of culture, so they attract people from all walks of life to enjoy the performance, and it has become a place for literati and nobles to socialize and chant poetry.

The battle with Jing Jie made Lu Yu even more famous in Daliang City, and he became the focus of attention as soon as he walked into Zuilanfang. Many people gave him friendly looks, not to mention those warblers and swallows.

It was a coincidence that the two of them sat down in the private room, and before the food and wine were served, a samurai came in a hurry and said a few words in Ximen Hou's ear, and Ximen Hou said to Lu Yu embarrassedly: "I have nothing to do for a long time, so as soon as I sit down, things will come to the door." Brother Lu waited for a while, and the younger brother came when he went. ”

Lu Yu said: "It's important to get down to business. Brother Simon has something important, so let's come back another day. ”

Ximen Hou stood up and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, Brother Lu will enjoy the wine and food first, and the younger brother will be able to rush back within an hour." ”

Walked to the door of the private room and turned around and said: "Now Brother Lu is a celebrity in Daliang City, if you think an hour is too long, just say it, and a beautiful woman will come to accompany Brother Lu to have fun." ”

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that he really wanted to find someone to accompany him, but Yu'er didn't want to call her to come, and he hadn't seen her shadow since she entered the door, so he didn't know where this mysterious beauty was hiding.

Things in the world are sometimes just so coincidental.

Ximen waited for less than half a moment when Yu'er's slender figure appeared at the door of the private room.

Lu Yu was surprised for a while, everything seemed to have been arranged, as if he was the hero of this era, and he was so handy with everything he wanted.
