Volume 1 The Beginning of the Warring States Chapter 031 Amazing Conjecture

Lu Yu was a little strange, who was Yu'er bringing to see her? This door is also strangely designed, why is it up and down instead of left and right? What does it look like when it's on?

Yu'er showed a charming smile and said to Lu Yu: "This time, you don't have to bother Brother Lu to push the door harder, because this door can be opened without force." ”

After speaking, he raised his jade hand, walked to the door, and rhythmically buckled the door three times, and after a short pause, he buckled three more times.

After a while, only a sound was heard behind the door, and then the gossip door slowly opened, and Lu Yu found that the door had tracks up and down, and it was not opened by manpower, but a mechanism was designed to embed it in two places.

After the gossip door was fully opened, an unnamed stone carving beast jumped into Lu Yu's eyes. It is a bit like a pixiu, but it has no horns on its head, wings behind its shoulders, half a step forward on its left front paws, its eyes are glaring ahead, its demeanor is majestic, and the carving is indeed very fine, whether it is in the line or elsewhere, it is very streamlined. If it weren't for Yu'er being so calm, Lu Yu would have to confirm whether this thing was a living creature or a stone carving.

Behind this stone beast is a stone screen, which is engraved with seal characters, Lu Yu's ability to recognize ancient characters is limited, and he doesn't know what is written, and now is not the time to study.

Lu Yu didn't know what kind of divine beast this stone beast was to, and what the meaning of this screen was, but the position of feng shui in ancient architecture was extremely important.

Seeing Lu Yu looking at the screen of the stone beast in a daze, Yu'er turned around and took Lu Yu's hand and walked in. After bypassing the screen, the scene that caught Lu Yu's eyes was even more surprising to him. Just ten paces away from them, there were three people sitting! And the person sitting in the middle is not Long Yangjun or who?

The other two were dressed in men's deep clothes and were burly, and one of them was slightly thin, but they both wore wooden masks with wooden expressions on their faces, and they didn't know how handsome or ugly they looked.

Seeing Lu Yu and Yu'er coming, the three of them all stood up, and Long Yangjun took the lead in speaking: "Benjun is finally looking forward to Lu Ye's master." After saying that, he seemed to have found something, frowned and said to Yu'er: "You...?" ”

Yu'er hurriedly withdrew the jade hand that was pulling Lu Yu, bowed her head and said, "Your Excellency, Yu'er has invited Lu Ye here." Before he finished speaking, two red flowers rose on his cheeks.

Lu Yu was about to greet Long Yangjun, but a familiar woman's voice behind him sounded first: "Little girl, meet your lordship and senior brothers." ”

Looking back, I saw a woman dressed as a slave walking in, passing by Lu Yu, but she turned a blind eye, and walked directly to the three of Long Yangjun opposite, standing facing Lu Yu.

Lu Yu saw that this woman was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. suddenly remembered that this woman was the maidservant who broke two jade bowls in Xinling Jun's mansion today, but unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be Longyangjun's person! The panic and other expressions that this woman showed at that time were extremely real, and even Lu Yu thought that she was really scared and revealed her actions, but she didn't expect that everything was fake, this woman can be described as very good at acting.

Long Yangjun said with a smile: "Why don't you greet each other when you see each other?" With that, he glanced back at the woman and the thinner masked man.

Lu Yu's heart was shocked when he heard this, this woman had a relationship with himself in Xinling Jun's Mansion, if he insisted on saying that he was an "old man", he could barely say it, but the two masked men in front of him, no matter which one they were, wore masks, so where did Lu Yu know what kind of old man he was? Could it be that these two are all spies planted by Long Yangjun next to Xinlingjun?

Long Yangjun's words shocked Lu Yu.

I saw the thinner masked man looking up to the sky and laughing, and the laughter made Lu Yu feel very familiar. Suddenly, Lu Yu noticed the hilt of the sword he was tying to his back and revealing from his right shoulder, which had already revealed his identity. An irrepressible excitement blurted out.

"Brother Zhang!"

The two held each other's arms tightly, and the brothers who had been reunited after a long absence erupted with the most sincere excitement.

Except for the mask, this familiar and vicissitudes of life face seems to be whiter and bloodless than before, Zhang Wu was already slightly thin, and when he saw him at this time, he seemed to be even thinner.

Zhang Wu turned back to the woman and said, "Seventh Senior Sister, why don't you come to recognize your Brother Lu?" ”

Lu Yu's heart was shocked again when he heard this, and his eyes looked at the woman, no wonder he had that feeling of déjà vu when he saw her in the Xinling Jun's Mansion today.

The woman said lightly: "This mask is difficult to take off, and it is difficult to put it back after being removed, Lu Ye is now Zuo Zhonglang, how dare the little woman call it casually." ”

Everyone present looked at each other, and they didn't know when Lu Yu offended her, otherwise why she would say such a cold word to Lu Yu. And Lu Yu couldn't figure out why Ling Fan's attitude towards him suddenly changed. Before they were separated, the two were still talking and laughing, and even Xiao Zhengwen said that after the separation, Zhang Wu mentioned that she missed her more than once, even if she was in Xinling Jun's Mansion today, she didn't recognize her, so she wouldn't have such an attitude towards herself?

Suddenly, Lu Yuhu's body shook violently, and he thought of the most likely reason why she was indifferent. Yu'er took the initiative to kiss Lu Yu when she was in the secret passage just now, and then Lu Yu hugged Yu'er in the secret room in the middle, could it be that Ling Fan saw it all? Although it was so quiet in the secret passage and secret room that it was audible to drop a needle, Ling Fan was good at martial arts, if she didn't want Lu Yu to know that she was behind, she would definitely be able to do it.

Apart from this reason, Lu Yu really couldn't think of any other reason. If this is the case, I will not be able to wash myself by jumping into the Yellow River.

Zhang Wugan laughed to break the embarrassing atmosphere, and said to Lu Yu with a smile: "You kid can be described as powerful, not only with the reputation of Jiaolongxia, but also claimed to be a disciple of Yunmeng Mountain, and his seniority is higher than mine, do you want me Zhang Wuzun to call you uncle?" ”

Long Yangjun also smiled: "As early as when I was in Zuilanfang, Ben Jun had already recognized Lu Ye's identity, but it was just that your sword moves were really a bit like Yunmeng Mountain's sword moves, and the stories you told were like real things, so Ben Jun didn't expose you on the spot." If you're not an enemy anyway, you'll have to justify yourself. ”

Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, Zhang Wu and Long Yangjun said something alone, and they didn't even have a chance to defend themselves, so they had to wait for them to finish, and then said with a bitter face: "The little brother does add oil and vinegar to some things, but he is not a lie, just a little embellishment." ”

At this time, the masked man in the back who had not spoken all this time came over, and without saying a word, he punched Lu Yu. That punch came very quickly, and Lu Yu had to take three steps back, and immediately sat on Ma Jue's waist and entered the defensive, ready to deal with his fast punch. At this time, the masked man's fist was already facing Lu Yu's door, but Lu Yu was faster, his left hand had already grasped his wrist, and he pulled his fist at the moment of turning left sideways, and his right hand was fisted at the same time to hit his right ribs.

The other party obviously expected Lu Yu's reaction, not only let Lu Yu pull his direction to slide, but even Lu Yu's fist that hit his ribs was caught by him like lightning, which immediately drove Lu Yu's figure, and the two of them rushed forward a few steps together.

Lu Yu's kung fu was not solid, and the defensive position of the "Spirit Tortoise Method" was immediately broken. To Lu Yu's surprise, this masked man was not only familiar with the moves he used, but also more proficient than himself, at least his foundation was more than ten years older than his own. In the middle of punching and kicking, Lu Yu finally suddenly realized that the moves used by the mask man were the same as himself, no wonder his fists and feet were not out, but the other party could always calmly resolve them as if he knew how to read minds, which made Lu Yu passive, and it turned out that his fists and feet had already been seen through by the mask man.

Defending the middle and leading the attack, the emphasis is on static braking, holding the enemy's offensive and seizing the flaws to give a counterattack. If the enemy knows your weaknesses, then the city is destined to be in someone else's pocket. In the "Seven Methods of Yin Fu", the "Spirit Tortoise Method" is unbreakable, but the "Snake Method" used by the masked man is even better than Lu Yu, so Lu Yu is very difficult to defend, if he persists any longer, he will be attacked by the masked man in less than a dozen moves.

The masked man's punches are as fast as lightning, and a "winding" word trick can always restrain Lu Yu's offensive, completely limiting the attack in defense to a state where he can only defend and cannot attack. But Lu Yu found that he didn't do his best, and since the fight, he has only one way to "beetle snake method", and there are no other tricks. Suddenly, he saw that the mask man hooked Lu Yu's waist with a lightning punch, Lu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he didn't block it, but hooked his waist with a punch, and followed him to play the fist of the "snake method".

Sure enough, the masked man was shocked by Lu Yu's punch, although his fist was fast, Lu Yu was not slow, just a few inches away, although Lu Yu's move was slower than him, the speed was like a wind, and when he hit Lu Yu, he could also be hit by Lu Yu's fist, and then he would only end up with a lose-lose result.

Obviously, the masked man did not want to fight with Lu Yu to break the net, and it was too late to resist with his other hand at this time, but he reacted very quickly and immediately retracted his posture and retreated three steps.

At this moment, Zhang Wu and Long Yangjun shouted "yes" almost at the same time, causing the two to stop fighting.

The masked man took off the wooden mask, and Lu Yu finally saw his appearance clearly. This person's facial features are as distinct as carvings, and the pair of slender eyes under the sword eyebrows exude a terrifying essence, which makes people shudder and chill. The contours of the face can be described as having shuttles and horns, and with the facial features, it feels a bit like a standard swordsman's demeanor.

Lu Yu asked puzzledly, "This is..."

The man said: "In Xia Hourong, he is the boss of Zuilanfang." ”

I see! The relationship between Yu'er and Long Yangjun is extraordinary, and she should have guessed that her boss should not be able to escape the relationship. But Lu Yu still didn't know a little, why did Zhang Wu and Ling Fan also appear here? Didn't they go directly to see Xinling Jun when they first came to Wei?

Zhang Wu laughed loudly and said to Hou Rong: "Third Senior Brother, I didn't expect that this brother of mine could force you back in fist and foot kung fu." ”

Hou Rong turned out to be the legendary third senior brother! And when she first met them, Yu'er actually called them senior brothers, so Yu'er and Zhang Wu are also brothers and sisters......

Long Yangjun also smiled and said: "Lu Ye's reputation in Daliang City has now overshadowed me, the number one swordsman in the Wei Kingdom, does Mr. Hou want to try Lu Ye's swordsmanship again?" ”

Lu Yu was taken aback, just the fist and foot kung fu had been forced by Hou Rong to almost be unable to parry, and if he came to test the swordsmanship again, he might not be as lucky as he was just now. After all, it was because he saw that Hou Rong didn't want to take a heavy hand on himself, and later unexpectedly found out that he could only "beetle snake method", which could barely crack his offensive, plus Zhang Wu and Long Yang applauded at the same time, so he didn't fight anymore. If you continue to fight, although you may not lose to Hou Rong, you will definitely not win easily.

Hou Rong didn't seem to be able to laugh, but said to Zhang Wu lightly: "Sixth Senior Brother, maybe he is really taught by Shizun himself..."

Zhang Wu looked at Lu Yu for a while before saying, "Second brother, could it be that you have really seen the old man of Shizun?" Then shouldn't we really call you 'uncle' now? ”

Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, although he and Guiguzi did not have a master-apprentice ceremony at that time, Guiguzi did have the intention of accepting him as an apprentice, and now Lu Yu's fist and foot kung fu and sword moves are indeed taught by Guiguzi himself, if you want to talk about it seriously, you can really be regarded as Zhang Wu's uncle. The ancients were very serious about the matter of seniority, and in the sect, the first person to enter was the senior brother, and no matter how young the apprentice of the master's master was, his seniority was greater than yours.

But he was originally a person after 2,000 years, and he was not very particular about these relationships, so he smiled bitterly at the moment: "Big brother, don't joke about your little brother, we are still the original brothers, don't be so serious." ”

Hou Rong said solemnly: "If you are indeed the apprentice of the master, you are also our uncle, this is a rule that cannot be messed with." ”

Lu Yu had no choice but to say: "Xuanwei Zhenren has indeed taught one and a half moves, but he has not performed a formal master-apprentice ceremony, at most the junior brother can only be regarded as half of the apprentice of Yunmeng Mountain, this uncle's hat is too big, the junior brother really can't afford it." ”

Long Yangjun stepped forward, held Lu Yu's hand, looked at him with a pair of "beautiful eyes" and said, "Okay, this gentleman will say something for Lu Ye." Since Lu Ye doesn't want to be this uncle, the two of you will not be able to make it difficult for others, otherwise you will fight until dawn, and I am afraid there will be no result. ”

Lu Yu's hand was shaken by Long Yangjun, and he suddenly just wanted to withdraw it, but for some reason, he always felt a little strange. But seeing that he was freeing himself, he had to smile stiffly, but his eyes looked away, and he didn't dare to look directly at him, and his heart kept hairy.

At this time, fortunately, Zhang Wu also came over, and Long Yangjun let go of his hand. Zhang Wu patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and joked, "Okay, just according to what the second brother said." But in the future, if the master blames him, the second brother, you must break the siege for your brother, otherwise the brothers really can't afford it. ”

Lu Yu heard that he was joking, and he also laughed, and said, "Big brother, don't laugh anymore." By the way, why are Big Brother and Miss Ling here? What happened during this time? ”

Zhang Wu sighed, walked up to Ling Fan, turned his back to everyone and said, "This is a long story..."

Lu Yu immediately wanted to step forward and pat him on the back of the head, but tried his best to hold back. These ancients, once they wanted to talk about something, they had to turn their backs to people, couldn't they sit down and talk about it?

It turned out that after escaping separately in Chen County that day, in addition to Lu Yu, Zhang Wu, Ling Fan, Ji Shaoyong and Xiao Zhengwen successfully escaped from the city. In order to distract from the attention, the four of them were divided into two ways, and as Xiao Zhengwen said, the two sides agreed on a place to meet. After three days, they finally escaped from the Chu realm, but they didn't expect that although they fled from the border of the Chu country, someone was ambushed in advance at the place where they agreed to meet, and the four of them just met, and they were attacked by a group of people who seemed to be bandits.

Later, someone came to the rescue, and Zhang Wu learned that it was Long Yangjun's person, and Zhang Wu was able to come to Daliang smoothly. Because Hou Rong once used the pseudonym Long Wuzhi as Xinlingjun's disciple, Zhang and Ling found Xinlingjun's mansion again. Unexpectedly, they were told that they had left the Xinling Monarch's Mansion, and the two had to leave to find the whereabouts of Longwu. But he didn't know that he was plotted again, and finally he was covered by Long Yangjun's people to this point, only to know that Long had already changed his name to Hou Rong and followed Long Yangjun, as the boss of Zuilanfang who did not come forward easily.

When he knew that Lu Yu appeared in Daliang in the name of Jiaolongxia, in fact, Zhang Wu and Ling Fan had already tried their best to get close to him, and Yu'er was one of them. And Ling Fan even disguised himself as a maid and infiltrated the Xinling Jun's mansion, and inadvertently found the injured Xiao Zhengwen. Because he didn't know what Lu Yu's plan was, he had to put out the Yu'er sign again, leading Lu Yu here, ready to discuss the next move.

Lu Yu secretly wondered that Yu'er was a pawn arranged by them, but he didn't know whether Yu'er's admiration for him was true or false? Yu'er also said at the time that she was the third man to see her appearance, but now that she thinks about it, she is really just coaxing herself to be happy.

Then she wanted to slap herself a few times, Ling Fan can be said to be the person she thinks about day and night, now that she herself is in front of her, she is still thinking about another woman in her heart, does he like Ling Fan, or Yu'er?

Subconsciously looked at Ling Fan, and it happened that she was also looking at Lu Yu. With their eyes facing each other, Ling Fan immediately looked away.

Zhang Wu's long memories made Long Yangjun look angry, and when Zhang Wu finished speaking, Long Yangjun couldn't help but take a sip, and said hatefully: "Speaking of your little brother Xiao Zhengwen, Benjun is really a belly of fire and don't know where to vent." ”

Lu Yuqi said: "Why did the king say this? ”

Long Yangjun said angrily: "Did Xinling Jun's house tell you that Benjun captured the boy and girl to make alchemy and take it with the king?" ”

Lu Yu didn't expect him to even know about it.

Long Yangjun said again: "Do you know how your little brother was injured? Ben Jun really couldn't swallow the evil breath of being wronged by Xinling Jun, and the special person secretly tracked down, and was found by Ben Jun that he was the one who caught boys and girls everywhere, and Xiao Zhengwen was injured by his people. ”

Lu Yu was shocked when he heard this. Originally, the whole thing seemed to be true or false, because on the one hand, Xiao Zhengwen was indeed found by Ximen Hou and Lu Yu, and all kinds of signs seemed to be that Xinlingjun's people saved Xiao Zhengwen, although Lu Yu doubted what Xinlingjun said, but what he said was not unreasonable, because Lu Yu had a special relationship between Longyangjun and King An Li, and it was rumored that Long Yangjun was even more important than King An's concubine.

An important factor for women to please men is to be young and beautiful, which is a very important condition compared to Long Yangjun. Then, in order to maintain the appearance, it is also possible to make various maintenance methods.

However, now that Zhang Wu told what happened, the child abduction incident that Long Yangjun talked about is more reasonable, after all, Zhang Wu would not lie to Lu Yu, and at that time, Lu Yu saw that Xiao Zhengwen's chest injury was caused by a blunt object...

Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly realized and asked, "Is it really that Zhu Hai?" ”

Hou Rong interjected and asked, "Brother Lu knows about this?" ”

Lu Yu said: "The junior brother has checked Xiaowen's injury, this weapon is very unique, and not many people use it. After speaking, he patted his forehead, "The little brother should have guessed that he did it earlier!" ”

Long Yangjun said: "The result of the investigation last month was not only Daliang City, but also boys and girls in other cities who disappeared for no reason, and these missing children were all sent by Xinling Jun to be arrested and refined into pills..."

When Yu'er and Ling Fan heard this, they all let out a sigh.

Lu Yu thought of something, a few days ago when he came out of Zuilanfang and Ximen Hou, he saw Jing Jie with a few people with suspicious whereabouts, and he and Ximen Hou wanted to follow them to see what they were going to do, but they didn't expect to be lost later. Thinking back now, it is possible that Jing Jie was sent by Long Yangjun to track down the boy and girl, but it is also very likely that Ximen Hou deliberately made Lu Yu lose them.

Of course, this is just Lu Yu's conjecture, but it is very likely to be true.

Zhang Wudao: "Xiaowen's revenge must be avenged, but now it is more important to do another thing..."

Long Yangjun continued: "That's right! It's all because Benjun sent people to follow the disappearance of these children all the way down, and found an even more shocking thing..."
