Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 048 Fog (II)
As Lu Yu guessed, the wooden board where the copper handle was fixed could be lifted up, and below was a secret passage. But all the ancient palace palaces, no matter in which dynasty, almost all will be built with a secret way to escape, especially in the era of war, the secret road is indispensable for the court, as long as you escape the war, retain the so-called royal bloodline, you can wait for the opportunity to recruit troops, in order to make a comeback.
Zuilanfang actually had this kind of secret passage, but it was unexpectedly by Lu Yu. But it is precisely in this way that the backing behind this land of fireworks is even more mysterious. What kind of weight will it be?
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, "knock, knock, knock", one long and two short, but did not speak.
At the same time as the knock on the door sounded, Lu Yu immediately bounced up from his half-squatting state and stared at the door vigilantly. Since cultivating Guiguzi's "Yin Fu Seven Methods", Lu Yu's senses in all parts of his body have become much more sensitive, and in this ancient world where anything can happen, be cautious, and have a better chance of saving his life. Then he relaxed a little, and the person who knocked on the door must be someone from Zuilanfang, one long and two short is like a kind of code word, as if reminding Yu'er of something.
I saw Yu'er frowning, but she quickly closed the wooden board, then covered the felt, and motioned to Lu Yu to help move the table back to its original position. Xuan walked unhurriedly to the door and loosened the bolt that was pinned.
Yu'er walked over, grabbed Lu Yu's left arm, put back the veil, but didn't speak, walked to the table with her arms in hand, and sat down on the felt. When she poured Lu Yu's wine glass full of wine, she only heard the sound of footsteps approaching outside the door, and then Ximen Hou's voice sounded: "Brother Lu has been waiting for a long time, the little brother is back to drink with you." ”
Lu Yu secretly scolded Ximen Hou, almost, if the things under this secret passage would not threaten his life, he might be able to see the secret of this Drunken Orchid Fang. Good guy, it turns out that the person who knocked on the door just now was really Yu'er's eyeliner, and the knock on the door was a hint that Ximen was back, so Yu'er closed the secret passage. And Ximen Hou said that he would return within an hour, but in fact, it only took less than half an hour, fortunately, Zuilanfang is not an ordinary place, otherwise wouldn't he teach Ximen Hou to be caught off guard?
When Ximen Hou pushed open the door and saw Yu'er next to Lu Yu's shoulder and the wine glass in the hands of the two, his face was full of surprise: "You ......"
Lu Yu couldn't find an excuse to answer Ximen Hou's words for a while, and Yu'er had already opened her mouth before him.
I only heard her feign annoyance: "How can Mr. Simon come in without knocking on the door." ”
Ximen Hou slapped his forehead and smiled awkwardly: "Ha, it's wrong." He said to Lu Yu again, "Brother Lu is so glamorous, he is accompanied by a girl Yu'er, and the younger brother is so jealous." ”
Lu Yu really had a trace of jealousy on his face when he saw him say this, exactly the same as when Wei Mingji invited him to come to Wei State. immediately smiled and said: "Brother Simon is laughing at the little brother, come on, in fact, we just had a drink." ”
Ximen Hou took the cup full of wine poured by Yu'er, still made a jealous expression, and said: "Miss Yu'er is arrogant and difficult to invite on weekdays, and Brother Lu steals joy alone, and both of them will be punished for drinking. ”
To Lu Yu's surprise, Yu'er was not angry, and poured herself full of wine, and said softly: "Since Mr. Simon wants to punish the slave family, they have to obey the order." With that, he drank it all.
Seeing that she had already drunk the wine in her glass, Lu Yu also raised her glass, and said to Ximen Hou in Yu'er's tone: "Brother Ximen wants to be punished, and the younger brother has no choice but to obey orders." "I drank it all in one go.
Ximen Hou and Yu'er were amused by Lu Yu's strange tune, and shouted for Lu Yu to have a drink. Lu Yu knew how much he was drinking, and from time to time he talked about him left and right, taking the topic to another place, avoiding every opportunity to be toasted.
And Yu'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and began to return to the usual coldness, based on various relationships, Ximen Hou did not dare to forcibly toast, so a pot of wine, almost seventy percent fell into Ximen Hou's belly.
Of course, a mere pot of wine can't feed him, but there may be something on his side, and after drinking a pot of wine, Ximen Hou pulled him out of Zuilanfang. When he walked out of the gate, he happened to meet the figures of Jing Jie and two warriors hurrying by.
Jing Jie and his party did not find Lu Yu and Ximen Hou.
Ximen Hou whispered to Lu Yu: "Seeing their whereabouts in a hurry, I don't know what to do." ”
Lu Yu smiled: "Go and see?" ”
Ximen Hou nodded, and pulled Lu Yu to follow, at this time there were more people on the street, but Lu Yu was already a celebrity in Daliang City, and Ximen Hou was also a person who was easy to be identified, so the two didn't dare to follow too closely, just hung far away, and followed for two or three streets, but finally lost at the south gate of Daliang.
The two stared wide-eyed, knowing that if they were recognized by each other, they might have unexpected consequences if they followed, so they had to give up.
"Jing Jie and a few people are secretive, there must be something strange." Ximen Hou gritted his teeth, "This guy is too cunning, let's go back to the house first, don't affect tomorrow night's affairs for the sake of this guy." ”
Lu Yu thought about it, and the urgency of the moment should be to deal with the game tomorrow night first and gain the trust of Xinlingjun. Although there are many mysteries, if everything has not been found out after ten days, then it is more important to give up and take Xiao Zhengwen and go to Handan with the princess of Wei.
Lu Yu suddenly thought of a question, if Zhang Wu and the others succeeded in lobbying among countries, would it make Zhao State change his mind and use Yingzheng, who was a hostage of Zhao State, to threaten Qin State?
According to the development of history, Ying Zheng ascended the throne in Qin State in 247 BC, that should be Qin State sent someone to rescue or pick up Zhao State, and if he can't catch up with this time, he will take the responsibility of welcoming Ying Zheng's return to China on himself, then even if he arrives in Qin State, the opportunity to see this future overlord will become far away.
Therefore, this matter is the most important thing, and it must be before Zhang Wu unites to form the Fourth Combined Expedition against Qin.
remembered that when Ximen Hou returned to Zuilanfang after finishing his errands, he seemed to have been deliberately pulling himself back to the Lingjun Mansion, so he asked.
Ximen Hou lowered his voice and said to Lu Yu as he walked: "The king has entered the palace to see the king again, and the first competition at the dinner tomorrow will be led by Brother Lu, and it seems that the king also knows the name of Jiaolongxia from the princess." ”
Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that this name will be his loyal partner in this era.
Xin Lingjun met Lu Yu in the main hall, and there was an old man by his side. After a few words of greeting, through the introduction of Xinling Jun, Lu Yu finally knew that this person's name was Zhu Hai.
There are 3,000 guests in Xinling Jun's mansion, Lu Yu only knows that the more famous ones are Hou Ying and Zhu Hai, the former is dead, and the latter has been in the mansion, but Lu Yu has only been in Xinling Jun's mansion for less than a few days, so he has never met.
This Zhu Hai, who used to be a butcher in Daliang City, is burly, half a head taller than Xinlingjun, although he is old, his eyes are still bright, and the green tendons on his arms are like showing everyone that his sword is not old.
Lu Yu knew that he had made a lot of contributions to the Xinling Jun stealing talisman to save the Zhao State, not only was he wise and strategic, but also had a special iron hammer as a weapon, he knew that this person must be deeply valued by the Xinling Jun, and his identity and status were far above the others.
But it seems that this person has a general attitude towards Lu Yu, and it seems that he doesn't have a good impression of him, or because he feels that he can't trust him.
is also quite indifferent to Ximen Hou, obviously not used to Ximen Hou, a person who is more likely to be a sycophant. But what kind of person is Xinling Jun, if Ximen Hou does not have a trick and a half real ability, he will definitely not be able to gain a firm foothold in this mansion just by patting on the back.
Xinling Jun said happily: "In the afternoon, Benjun entered the palace to discuss with the king, and decided that tomorrow night you will compete in front of the palace in the name of the Great Wei Jiao Dragon, so that you can win the jackpot." This battle will be of great benefit to you in the future, Lu Yu, you must fight for this monarch and the king. ”
Lu Yu secretly thought that I would play the first card, and the more important purpose was to show my might in front of Long Yangjun. But on the surface, he still thanked him as if he was flattered, and took the opportunity to ask the details of the Yanren samurai.
Xin Lingjun said: "How can a real master be willing to give it to others? Of these ten samurai, any swordsman in this monarch's mansion can defeat them. Lu Yu, you should understand that Benjun is taking this opportunity to recommend you to the king, if you please the king, who will escort the princess to Handan after ten days? ”
Lu Yu hurriedly thanked Xin Lingjun again. To a certain extent, Xin Lingjun seems to have been helping himself, but for some reason, in addition to knowing that he wants to win him over, Lu Yu always feels that there must be some ulterior secret hidden in it.
From the known historical deeds, I know that this Juncheng Mansion is very deep, and there are not a few strategists around him, so what he wants to investigate needs to be carried out secretly. Although he already had this idea, except for Ximen Hou, he didn't have half of his friends in Daliang City, and it was definitely difficult to investigate.
Coming out of the main hall, Ximen Hou whispered: "It's really envious little brother." ”
Lu Yu had been thinking about all kinds of doubts, and for a while he didn't understand what Ximen Hou was referring to, so he scratched the back of his head and asked, "Why did Brother Ximen say this?" ”
Ximen Hou said: "Just by virtue of Jiaolongxia's deeds, you are already famous, and tomorrow night's battle will make you famous and become the celebrity of the entire Liang, Brother Lu, you are indeed the lucky one, this is something that anyone dreams of." ”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, this is definitely something that Ximen Hou dreams of, or it is also a good time for others to become famous, if this happened in Qin, he would definitely be very happy, it's a pity that he didn't come to be famous.
The two came to Xiao Zhengwen's room together, and a subordinate was feeding Xiao Zhengwen the medicine. When Xiao Zhengwen saw Lu Yu, his joy immediately floated on his face, and he called "Second Brother", wanting to get off the bed, but he frowned and lay back again.
Lu Yu walked to the bedside, knowing that the injury on his chest was affecting his breathing, so he couldn't get out of bed. Lu Yu touched his forehead and asked, "Do you feel better?" ”
Xiao Zhengwen nodded, sat up on the pillow with Lu Yu's help, and said, "It's already a lot better, but the medicine is very bitter." He whispered to Lu Yu again: "Xiaowen has never slept in such a comfortable bed. ”
Ximen Hou said with a smile: "If your second brother can do things for the king and live here in the future, you will always have such a comfortable room." ”
