Since Zhang Shisan was killed, no one dared to bully the mountain workers in a few days, and it can even be said that there are no ordinary Lu Yanhui soldiers in the entire mountain opening field, and the mountain workers can finally take a good breath.

"Lu Yanhui will never give up!" Ji Wenhan couldn't hide the worry in his words: "This guy who is neither male nor female will definitely find a way to avenge his righteous son." ”

"Does King Yu have any news?" Xu Chengxian asked Xuan Shaoning.

"King Yu's letter has already stated that he will deal with it properly, so let's stop making any more extraneous things for the time being. However, I have no regrets at all about killing Zhang Shisan. Although Xuan Shaoning was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the surface, he didn't want to be seen by others that he was flustered, after all, he was responsible for rebuilding righteousness, and he definitely couldn't lose at the beginning.

"Captain Xuan, this incident makes me impressed with you, your courage, your skills, and your decisiveness all make me admire!" Ji Wenhan is young after all, and he is inspired by Xuan Shaoning, so he naturally can't help but look up to him at this moment. However, the veteran Xu Chengxian was very calm, without the heat of Ji Wenhan. Xuan Shaoning knew that if he wanted to subdue this group of pioneers, he had to deal with this Xu Chengxian first.

"The plan for today is to stand still, as long as Lu Yanhui doesn't move, we will be the same."

"What if Lu Yan will make a move?"

Before Xuan Shaoning could answer, a shirtless mountain pioneer hurriedly ran into the camp tent and said, "Lu Yanhui has sent a scout and is waiting outside." It was completely out of a knee-jerk reaction, and the three people present all looked at Xuan Shaoning.

"Then let's go out and meet us!"

When Xuan Shaoning walked out of the camp tent, he saw a man and a horse three arrows away from his camp, and when he got closer, he found that this scout was obviously very nervous, his face was like earth, his hands were tightly holding the reins, and his eyes were cautiously looking at the mountain pioneers around him.

"You were sent by Lord Lu?" Xuan Shaoning still maintained the most basic etiquette at this time, after all, Lu Yanhui was the state pastor of the two states, and the official was many levels higher than him.

"Exactly ......."

"What's the news?"

The scout took off a bamboo tube and handed it to Xuan Shaoning, who unscrewed the lid of the tube, and a piece of white paper fell out of it:

Captain Xuan's voice is like that

Thirteen is my righteous son, although he has a perverse temperament, he is not a vicious person. He was ordered to supervise the Pingzhou Mountain Field, and received the title of Seven Rank Civil Official, even if you have some opinions to refute it, you can still talk quietly, Xuanxiao Lieutenant actually took a knife to take his life, even the Xuanjia Army could not escape the Liang Calendar, I don't want to upload this matter to Tianting, if Xuanxiao Lieutenant has the heart to solve this matter, please gather at Wuli Pavilion at noon tomorrow.

Lu Yanhui

"Lu Fox, definitely not well-intentioned!" Ji Wenhan muttered fiercely, he first looked at Xuan Shaoning, and then at Xu Chengxian, who was indifferent and silent.

"Please also return to Lord Lu, and announce that someone must go to the appointment on time!"

After receiving Xuan Shaoning's reply, the scout carefully led the horse and slowly walked out of the camp, and secretly looked back from time to time in the process of walking, and finally found that no one was ready to put a cold arrow in the back before finally reassuring to ride the horse.

"It's going to be a trap."

"What Brother Dao said is, how can I not know this? If I don't go, he will definitely try his best to make a big deal about this matter and put all the blame on me and even my brothers, and we will all be able to escape the responsibility at that time; If I go, what means he wants to use in the banquet, I am weak and naturally difficult to resist, then he can be regarded as revenge. ”

"Now that you've seen this matter so thoroughly, you should have thought of a way to deal with it?"

"Brother Dao looks down on me, I haven't thought of any countermeasures, for today's plan, I can only promise to come down, if you want to die, one person is better than everyone."

Ji Wenhan was deeply touched by Xuan Shaoning's words, "Captain Xuan, you also acted for us at the beginning, since the incident has happened, how can we let you bear it alone?" I'm going with you tomorrow! ”

As soon as Xuan Shaoning wanted to refuse, Xu Chengxian interrupted him, "Wen Han is not very old, but he has always been sensible, he is right, this matter was originally caused by us, our Pingzhou disciples have never let others carry the tradition of the black pot, tomorrow even if it is a sea of swords, we will accompany you." ”

"Brother Dao, ask Han, with your words, I Xuan Shaoning is already content, although Lu Yanhui did not mention the number of people attending the banquet in the letter, but we must not go to too many people, once there are too many people, he will be caught by him, I think it is enough for you two to accompany me." However, we must not just sit idly by, we must be prepared. ”

"What else can we do?"

"Why don't you two tell me a detailed description of what this Lu Yanhui is." Xuan Shaoning did not directly answer Ji Wenhan's question, but made his own request.

Xu Chengxian said: "We haven't seen the true face of this Lu Yanhui, but I heard that this person has a white face and a sharp voice, quite like a eunuch, he is now the state pastor of Pingzhou and Dengzhou, and his official position should be the fifth rank among the military attachés." This person is not right, cunning, tending to be inflammatory, seeing the wind and making the rudder, deceiving the upper and lower, and implementing high-pressure rule over the two states under his jurisdiction, you see that the current situation in Pingzhou is due to him, Pingzhou is not very far from the Beijing Division, but our emperor in the capital actually let him do this and ignore it, and it is said that behind him is the current prince. ”

"Not only that, Lu Yanhui also has three righteous sons, all of them are bad, that Zhang Shisan is one of them, he oppressed us, looted our family wealth and women, if he resisted, he led a large army to suppress it, do you think, how can we, the defenseless flat-headed people, be the opponents of those armies wearing armor and holding weapons? How many of our brothers have died at his hands, and Xuan Xiaowei can slash this Zhang Shisan, and he really avenged how many brothers in Pingzhou! Ji Wenhan couldn't help gritting his teeth when he said this.

"Therefore, Lu Yan will be lawless, and he will repay him, he will definitely ask you to a banquet to attack you, even if we go with you, it will be difficult to escape his plot!"

"What Brother Dao said is that, that's why I said that we can't go to the banquet empty-handed! And we can change from passive to active, this is just an opportunity to bring down Lu Yanhui! ”

It would not be easy for Xuan Shaoning to successfully avoid the Hongmen banquet set up by Lu Yanhui, Xu Chengxian and Ji Wenhan didn't expect that he would still want to get rid of Lu Yanhui at this time, and they couldn't help but be a little moved when they were surprised, after all, the whole thing had nothing to do with Xuan Shaoning, and it was already rare for him to draw his sword to help.

"Brother Xuan, we are already very content that you can get out of the way, and you still want to bring down Lu Yanhui, this is ..... This is as difficult as climbing to the sky....... "Xu Chengxian even changed his name.

Xuan Shaoning persuaded with confidence: "Brother Dao, ask Han, it has always been us who resisted, Lu Yan will suppress it, we have been losing, since this is the case, it is time to change the strategy, this time we have to take the initiative!" ”

"In this way, Brother Xuan has an idea!" Ji Wenhan's eyes widened excitedly, and the light of hope sparked in his young eyes.

"Hmm!" Xuan Shaoning grabbed Ji Wenhan's shoulders hard. In fact, at this moment, only Xuan Shaoning knows in his heart that this banquet will most likely go and never return, and Lu Yanhui will take the opportunity to continue to suppress these pioneers in Pingzhou, the time is too short, and he can no longer make any more plans, so he can only act at the opportunity. Thinking of this, Xuan Shaoning understood that if he could ask someone to help him in this level, maybe his chances of winning would be greater.

That night, Yue Yunfeng knocked on Teng Hui's door.

"Lord Teng, this is a letter from Captain Xuan."

Teng Hui took the letter, opened it and looked at it, his face slowly changed, until after reading the letter, Teng Hui's face was embarrassed.

Yue Yunfeng felt Teng Hui's emotions and asked, "Lord Teng, what difficulties have you encountered?" ”

Teng Hui handed the letter to Yue Yunfeng and said, "Look at it for yourself." Yue Yunfeng, who read the letter, also frowned, "This ..... Lu Yan will avenge his righteous son, this is something that adults have long expected, this time inviting Captain Xuan to the banquet is definitely a calculation that there is no return, is Captain Xuan asking Lord Teng for help? ”

Otherwise, there will be both a cry for help and a threat. Lu Yanhui has been pressuring the old man for many years, and the old man has done nothing so far, in the final analysis, it is a good thing that Lu Yanhui has done, although he hates in his heart, he can't deal with him, and now Xuan Shaoning actually wants me to go to the banquet half an hour later, what is this guy planning? ”

"My lord, if we do what Captain Xuan said, once there is a mistake, it will definitely cause Lu Yanhui's anger, and the consequences will be unimaginable, but if we don't do this, ......."

Didn't he make it clear in his letter? If we don't follow, he will ask the king of Yu to increase the army in Pingzhou, the current king of Yu is no longer the king of Yu of the year, he has a lot of weight in the emperor's mind, maybe the emperor will really agree, then we will not have good fruit to eat. ”

"Xuan Shaoning said at the end that this move can bring down Lu Yanhui in one fell swoop, and return the government to the adults, maybe we can make a bet!"

"How can he, a little lieutenant, have the ability to bring down the Fifth Rank Officer?"

However, these days by the side of Captain Xuan, the last general found that he did have some very rare temperament. Adults know that the pioneers of today's quarries admire him very much! From the initial resistance to the current change of attitude in just a few days! ”

"The old man has also heard about these things, Xuan Shaoning can slash Zhang Shisan, and he really gave a good breath to the people of Pingzhou, and the old man also felt happy!"

"My lord, in fact, we are on the side of Xuanxiao Wei, since he has the intention to eliminate the harm, we should try our best to cooperate as Pingzhou parents!"

"I didn't expect you to speak for him! Why don't you understand the truth you say? What if it fails? ”

"If he is defeated, the last general will desperately protect the Lord from Pingzhou, and he will no longer have to be oppressed by Lu Yanhui!"

Teng Hui was inspired by Yue Yunfeng's momentum, and the fighting spirit that had been buried many years ago began to sprout in his heart, "Okay!" If he is defeated, the old man will not escape, and he will apologize to the people of Pingzhou with the head of the old man! ”

The next day, it was the day that Lu Yanhui and Xuan Shaoning agreed, Xuan Shaoning was dressed in a tight-fitting and short-cut outfit and Xu Chengxian walked out of the camp tent and got on the horse, and before leaving, he glanced at Ji Wenhan meaningfully and then rode his horse towards the Wuli Pavilion twenty miles away from the stone field. At the same time, Teng Hui was wearing court clothes, and Yue Yunfeng led all the soldiers to follow Teng Hui to Wuli Pavilion. At this time, King Ling had already arrived at the boundary of Pingzhou, in order not to startle the snake, he did not bring many guards on this trip and did not publicize it in advance, in order to catch Lu Yanhui off guard and see how he showed his feet.

"His Royal Highness King Ling, the scout in front of me wrote that Lu Yanhui was not in the mansion, but went to Wuli Pavilion."

"Oh? Do you know I'm coming? ”

"Not really, it was said that he had asked a Xuanjia military captain to hold a banquet in Wuli Pavilion."

"This is interesting, he is a dignified five-rank military attache who took the initiative to hold a banquet to entertain a small captain?"

"Your Highness doesn't know anything, according to reliable information, just a few days ago, the captain killed a righteous son of Lu Yanhui because of the maintenance of some mountain pioneers, and according to his subordinates, I am afraid that this banquet is a Hongmen banquet!"

"Haha, it's fun! Lu Yanhui is really good at coming to things, before he can check it, he has given birth to so many incidents, and this time it also involves my fourth brother, this good show this king must not be missed, immediately go to Wuli Pavilion! ”

Wuli Pavilion is not big, a very ordinary pavilion, it can only accommodate five or six people. At this time, Lü Yanhui was sitting upright in the pavilion facing north and south, drinking tea leisurely, there were two mats and low tables on his left and right sides, Sheng Yi, one of Lü Yanhui's righteous sons, sat in the first position on the left-hand side, and there were only two rows of soldiers standing scattered outside the pavilion.

As it approached noon, the sound of horses' hooves began to grow clearer and clearer until the sound died out outside the pavilion. Xuan Shaoning and Xu Chengxian dismounted one after another, walked into the pavilion, and both of them gave a salute.

"Captain Xuan is really heroic and punctual!" Lu Yanhui only raised his eyelids slightly, and then continued to drink tea, "Captain Xuan, you have brought a guard here, it's really majestic." ”

It's better to hear than to see, Lu Yanhui's voice is really like a eunuch, and it is really uncomfortable to listen to in your ears. In the face of the other party's aggressive momentum, Xuan Shaoning had already made preparations, after all, both sides of this banquet knew that the intentions were not good.

"I've heard that Lord Lu is sincere in his hospitality, but today I saw that it was true!" Xuan Shaoning sarcastically returned.

"Yo, this official forgot to ask Captain Xuan to sit down, I hope you will forgive me, please sit down."

"Then thank you, Lord Lu!"

As soon as Xuan Shaoning and Xu Chengxian sat down on the two mats on the right hand side of Lu Yanhui, Sheng Yi, who was fierce and vicious, said, "Our adults invited Captain Xuan to sit, but we didn't invite the untouchables!" ”

"Hey, Yi'er, there is also a vacant seat in this pavilion, and it doesn't hurt to give it to a dog, and besides, it was also brought by Captain Xuan."

Xuan Shaoning was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Lord Lu, I have been in the military for many years, and I have been straightforward in everything I do. ”

Lu Yanhui raised his head at this time and looked at Xuan Shaoning squarely, his face was natural, "Captain Xuan is quick to talk, this official likes it, and this official also has this intention." How can I say that my righteous son thirteen is also from the seventh rank official, although the official rank is not high, but how to say that he is also an official of the imperial court, he was already responsible for the jurisdiction of Pingzhou Kaishan field, but he died at the hands of Xuanxiao Lieutenant for no reason, and today I have to give this official an explanation. ”

"Zhang 13 is a perverse person, that day he wantonly insulted the people of Pingzhou, and wanted to ignore people's lives and kill people for fun, I really couldn't stand it before I stopped it, but the sword had no eyes, and I killed Zhang 13 by mistake."

"Humph!" Lu Yanhui slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, "What a sentence, 'The sword has no eyes, and it kills by mistake'!" Captain Xuan kept saying that my righteous son was guilty of human life, but is there any evidence? ”

"It seems that Zhang Shisan hid what he did from Lord Lu, and he tortured the people of Pingzhou to complain, and in the end, this infamy is still borne by Lord Lu!"

"Xuan Xiaowei means that Xuan Xiaowei is helping his own official to eliminate harm?!"

"That's exactly what it means!"

"You! Good you Xuan Shaoning, kill the court officials and deny it in every way, this official originally tolerated you in every way in the face of King Yu, even if you are hand-picked by the emperor, you will be brought to justice today! ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers around Wuli Pavilion immediately held down the handle of the knife, and even Sheng Yi, who was sitting near the left of Lu Yanhui, also clenched the knife placed next to the wine table, and his movements were not gentle, and he didn't seem to care at all that Xuan Shaoning and the others noticed that their eyes were staring at Xuan Shaoning as if they were about to breathe fire. With such a movement, how could Xuan Shaoning and Xu Chengxian not notice that Xuan Shaoning was fine, still holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, looking at the dishes on the wine table, and Xu Chengxian was about to pull out his portable sword, Xuan Shaoning reached out and pressed Xu Chengxian's knife handle, turned around and said: "When the two of us entered the pavilion just now, Lord Lu didn't ask us to take off our sidearms, I think it's not because the adults forgot the rules but because they want to give the two of us a chance to resist, so that the adults can explain." ”

"Hmph, Captain Xuan seems to be not only brave but also a little courageous, since you already know my intentions, I don't know if you guessed my next move?"

"Since Lord Lu praises the last general, how can the last general come unprepared?"

Lu Yanhui looked at Xuan Shaoning with a calm expression, and couldn't help but be a little amused: "When death is on the verge of death, do you still have to force your composure?" This Pingzhou is the boundary of my Lu Yanhui, is it possible that you are still naïve to think that King Yu will come to save you? ”

Sheng Yi, who was already sharpening his knife on the side, couldn't help but interject: "Father-in-law, don't bother with these two people anymore, anyway, they will be dead after half a pillar of incense!" ”
