Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ascension
Turning to April, Jiangnan enters the plum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoYuhangcheng has been dripping with light rain all day, and it has not been sunny for more than ten days, as if the air is moldy.
The sky above Xizi Lake was empty, and it was almost impossible to see a few pleasure boats, let alone hear the sound of the Liu family's piano.
Lord Qincha had already returned to Beijing last month, and the hateful thing was that he just left, and he actually took everyone Liu with him! It's really hard to mention it, and I hate it so much!
But that's not the main reason people are shutting down. The real reason is that since last month, people have disappeared in Yuhang City almost every day, and the missing people include gangsters and gangsters, as well as a number of wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Yuhang City. Many people have disappeared without a trace, and even if they are lucky enough to return, they are silent about what happened to them......
This series of mysterious disappearances has cast a thick layer of haze over Yuhangcheng. The government's attitude is even more unpredictable, only claiming that there has been a gang war recently, and persuading the people to stay at home and not go out, so there is no follow-up, let alone any countermeasures.
This made the people of Yuhang City miss the iron-faced and ruthless Lu Junwei even more, if he was still in Yuhang, how could he tolerate such unscrupulous troubles by gangsters?
It's a pity that even Lieutenant Lu went to the capital......
In this case, the Lu family sisters and brothers had to stay at home all day, which made Lu Ying so bored. Lu Yun didn't care about this at all, anyway, he had things to do in reading, practicing calligraphy, and practicing martial arts. And he knows very well that such a peaceful day is afraid that it will be gone forever. He longed for more time to prepare for his huge plans.
The more preparation, the more chance of winning, this is the truth he has understood since he was a child.
On this day, the sister and brother were studying opposite each other in the study, and an officer from the yamen came to deliver the letter.
The letter was written by Lu Xin from the capital, Lu Yun opened it and looked at it, and smiled at Lu Ying: "Father has been promoted." ā
"I'll see, I'll see!" Lu Ying hurriedly snatched the letter, and Lu Xin's familiar handwriting came into view. I saw that the letter said that he had been promoted to the right temple of Dali Temple, and he had completed the handover with the new Wujun lieutenant in Beijing, so naturally there was no need to return to Yuhang. After Lu Xin ordered Lu Yun and Lu Ying to get ready, they returned to Beijing with their mother.
"The right temple of Dali Temple, how big an official?" Although Lu Ying is an official lady, she is very slow about these officialdom things.
"Positive five products." Lu Yun replied softly: "Father has been promoted to three levels in a row, which is gratifying. ā
"Oh......" Lu Ying didn't have joy on her face, but looked at Lu Yun worriedly, and hesitated: "If we go back to Beijing, it will be fine, right?" ā
"It's going to be fine." Lu Yun smiled apologetically and assured Lu Ying, "I will be very careful, very careful." ā
"In short, it's better ......not to go back," Lu Ying said quietly, but she also knew that the wood was already in the boat, and everything she said was in vain. She got up with the letter and said to Lu Yun, "I'll go tell my mother." ā
Lu Yun nodded, looking at Lu Ying's back, his brows condensed with a hint of hesitation. But he soon put down his undue emotions and continued to concentrate on his book.

At night, after Lu Yun's luck was completed, Uncle Bao came.
After the usual fight, Lu Yun told him that the day of entering Beijing had come.
"Yes......" Uncle Bao touched his forehead with a complicated expression, although he was looking forward to returning to Beijing day and night to slash the enemy, he also knew best how powerful the enemy Lu Yun would face. Looking at Lu Yun with concern, he sighed and said, "It's okay to go back, the White Ape Society, Xiahou Valve, and Taiping Dao are all looking for you, and this Yuhang City is not safe." ā
"Hmm." Lu Yun nodded, he knew very well about the chaos in Yu Hang these days, it was all because of his assassination of Xiahou Lei. And because he snatched the jade seal, he stimulated those forces even more, making them even more violent.
Although no one has any evidence to link Xiahou Lei's assassination and the robbery of Yuxi, the two things happened after all. In the absence of clues elsewhere, those people will naturally not let go of any suspicions......
"I heard that the owner of the White Ape Society personally entered Beijing to explain to Xiahou Valve, and in the end, Xiahou Ba reluctantly agreed, asking them to find out the real culprit within a time limit." Uncle Bao hissed and laughed: "If it weren't for the fact that Xiahou Valve made a lot of noise because of the jade seal, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so easy to speak." ā
"But nothing has happened so far......," Lu Yun sighed and said, "Obviously, I'm still thinking too simply. According to his most optimistic estimate, the emperor should be pinched with Xiahou at this moment, so that he can get into trouble after entering Beijing.
"It's not that easy, the royal family and the seven major families are intertwined and mutually restricted, and many things are far more complicated than imagined." Uncle Bao sighed with emotion: "The son will know when he arrives in the capital." ā
"Speaking of returning to Beijing...... Lu Yun touched his face, looked at Uncle Bao and said, "My face really won't be recognized?" In the past few days, he has been seriously considering whether to follow the example of Uncle Bao and self-destruct himself......
"How many times have the subordinates said it?" Uncle Bao smiled bitterly: "The appearance of the prince is like two people when he was six years old, and he doesn't have much in common with the first emperor. Saying that, he looked at Lu Yun carefully again, and said: "More importantly, the first emperor is like a Tai'a out of the sheath, sharp and imposing!" Childe is full of divine light and quiet like a virgin. Even if you are a subordinate, if you don't watch your son grow up, you will never be associated with the first emperor. ā
"Oh yes?" Lu Yun turned his head to the bronze mirror in the corner of the wall, and said quite mindfully: "Do I look very feminine?" ā
"Well, that's not what my subordinates meant......," Uncle Bao hurriedly explained, although he sometimes secretly slandered, if His Royal Highness wore red makeup, I am afraid that few girls could really look good at him! But there really is no such meaning in this matter. But I'm afraid that the more I depict it, the darker it gets, so I can only be dumbfounded and stuck there.
"Well, that's not the point." Lu Yun retracted his gaze and coughed twice to end this embarrassing topic.
"Compared to the appearance of the son," Uncle Bao smiled bitterly, "The subordinates are more worried about your martial arts." Although it is said that no one can recognize the Huangji Cave Xuangong, this technique is very different from the martial arts in the world, and no one can reach the level at the age of Gongzi. If Childe is too outstanding, it will inevitably be noticed, and once they find out the strangeness of your exercises, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble. ā
"Hmm." Lu Yun recognized Uncle Bao's worries very much, and thought about it: "I have also practiced the Lu family's Heaven and Earth Rectification Fa, but this exercise needs to cultivate Haoran righteousness, and it talks about Zhongzheng and peace, and water drops and stones. I thought it was too slow, so I put it on hold. ā
"That's right, the Lu family's water mill grinds and grinds, and you can't become a great grandmaster at the age of fifty......" Uncle Bao said thoughtfully: "Even if Tianzhong is as talented as a child, he can't do it quickly." After speaking, he asked again: "I wonder what level the son can have now with the Lu family's exercises?" ā
"Hmm......" Lu Yun silently compared the various level opponents he had seen before, and said softly: "Reluctantly." ā
"Uh......" When he landed, Uncle Bao's words of comfort were all blocked. After a while, Uncle Bao snorted angrily: "Enough!" ā
Others have practiced hard for 20 years, and if they can enter the ground level, they will have to burn high incense. His own son-in-law only practiced intermittently, and he could reach the ground level! It's simply more popular than people!
This other person naturally includes Uncle Bao...... However, he doubted anything, and he would not doubt his son's judgment. In Uncle Bao's opinion, compared to martial arts, the mind is the real killer of his son-in-law!
"Uncle, I told you, where is the beauty of the Emperor's Pole Cave Xuangong...... Lu Yun hurriedly comforted Uncle Bao and said: "The so-called one law leads to ten thousand laws, this is the truth." ā
"Childe, this is a good thing...... Uncle Bao smiled dumbly: "In this way, we have a better chance of entering Beijing." ā
"In a short period of time, I can only show up to the Xuan Rank at most, otherwise I will be associated with something by the Xiahou Valve......" Lu Yun shook his head. As Uncle Bao said, the ground level is very rare. Even if Lu Yun didn't reveal the Emperor's Extreme Cave Xuangong, Xiahou Valve could easily suspect that Lu Yun, who happened to be in Hangzhou at that time, was the one who assassinated Xiahou Lei!
After a pause, Lu Yun said softly again: "Moreover, don't enter Beijing first, we will still act separately." As he spoke, he took out the black booklet, handed it to Uncle Bao and said, "There are a few people on it, I have marked the suspicious points, please check it." ā
"Yes." As long as Lu Yun decides, Uncle Bao has never said anything. In addition to that fierce loyalty, he also consciously cultivated the decisive ability of his little master. "And those dead soldiers, Childe also has to think about how to settle them." At this time, the rumors in Yuhang were tight, and the dead soldiers that Uncle Bao ordered him to train were transferred elsewhere, and where to settle down next became a big problem.
"I've thought about it." Lu Yun obviously had a plan, and did not hesitate to say: "The capital is not as good as the place, and it is difficult to hide people's eyes. I will bring a dozen or so people into Beijing at most, and my martial arts skills should not be too high. For the rest, let them disperse to the northern states first...... I read that the Di newspaper said that the Yellow River flooded seven or eight prefectures, and there must have been many displaced people fleeing to Beijing. ā
"Good idea." Uncle Bao's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said: "Hiding among the homeless people is not noticeable, and it is easy to clear your identity!" ā
"It's a last resort." Lu Yun sighed lightly, he was too weak at the moment, so weak that he couldn't have his own strength at all. He couldn't help but secretly said fiercely: 'You must become stronger as soon as possible, and become stronger in all aspects!' ā
When he came back to his senses, Lu Yun saw Uncle Bao's posture of wanting to speak and stopping, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What to say is straightforward." ā
"Yes, Childe." Uncle Bao glanced at the location of the main room, and said in a low voice: "In order to prevent future troubles, the one who can't stay ......" He naturally referred to Mrs. Lu. The domestic servants who followed Lu Xin back then were all taken care of by him by taking advantage of the outbreak of the plague in Jiangnan, but Lu Xin never allowed him to do anything to Mrs. Lu.
"Nope." Lu Yun has been thinking about this question for a long time, and he also gave his attitude at this moment: "She knows the stakes." After a pause, Lu Yun's voice became low and said: "What's more, she also has the grace of nurturing me, and she is my father's wife and my sister's mother......"
"Hey, okay......" Seeing that Lu Yun was undoubted, Uncle Bao sighed and said, "Childe must be careful of her, don't do bad things!" ā
"I see." Lu Yun nodded and ended the conversation.
