"Yes...... Yes...... What to do......"

Tong Yuqing heard Lu Jingpeng's trembling voice suppressed with all his might, looked at his increasingly pale complexion, and added another dose of fierce medicine, "You are not your father's most beloved son, in order to keep his hard-won and crumbling position in Puxi, he can not want you as a son, and your eldest brother has eliminated the most powerful opponent at the moment, do you say that you are your eldest brother's good brother, so obediently send your head to his guillotine?" ”

Tong Yuqing briskly put a piece of cold reality in front of Lu Jingpeng. Lu Jingpeng obviously knew that Tong Yuqing was stirring up a relationship between their brothers, but he couldn't even say a word to refute it. Because he really doesn't have much brotherly affection with his eldest brother, he can't pray that his eldest brother will show mercy to him in front of his father.

"I know what you're thinking. You want me to let you go, and by the way, provoke civil strife in Puxi. I admit that I can't refuse the help of the future Overseer's wife in Pudong, so let's talk about the ......."

Before Lu Jingpeng finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the room. Lu Jingpeng held Tong Yuqing's neck again, but this time he whispered in Tong Yuqing's ear: "I know you have a way to let me get out of the way, if you agree, how about I let you be unscathed?" ”

Tong Yuqing smashed the goblet on the table so quickly that she slashed the shard on Lu Jingpeng's arm.

"What are you doing?!" Lu Jingpeng yelled in pain.

"I remember that the person who sent me here was your father's right-hand man Yang Hao, now let your people let a distant soldier in, and I will let them attack Yang Hao with all their might, but they will not die. He has fought with your father for many years and has won deep trust, and he can't cope with the situation, how can you, a person who has just been on the battlefield for less than two years, deal with it? I think he'll do justice to you. As for the wounds on your body, if you should say that I am cunning, you will say that I am cunning, and if you should say that I am vicious, you should say that I am vicious, so I don't need to teach you, right? Also, let me remind you again, if your eldest brother can't turn the Bai family's mind today, then this is destined to be a great sin in front of your father, and you should understand what I'm talking about. ”

Lu Jingwu listened to Tong Yuqing's deployment, and felt more and more that she was thoughtful and difficult to deal with, but the current situation did not allow him to think deeply, so he could only do what she said......

The largest port to the sea in the south of Puxi Prefecture, spanning Pudong and Puxi, is a battleground for the overseers of Pudong and Puxi in the past dynasties. Because it must be contested, no one can really fight for it, and this port has gradually become a delicate place in Puxin Prefecture. Since the two sides cannot solve the problem by fighting for this reason, then each side should take a step back and open the sky, and everyone will jointly nominate a third party to safeguard the respective interests of both sides without causing disputes. Bai Ronghai is the latest "helmsman" elected by the Qiu Lu family. Originally, there was nothing to do with each other, and the world was peaceful, but this beautiful scenery with light clouds and light wind was always fleeting.

Eight months ago, Lu Jingwu was ordered by his father to Baijiawan to escort a batch of armaments and materials into Jindu, and happened to meet Qiu Zeyuan's subordinates, the two had a discordant verbal quarrel, and the entourage on both sides was even more tense, but after all, it was for the sake of the Bai family's face that they each took a step back.

It was a heavy snowfall that day, and the car was walking extremely the road, just when Lu Jingwu was upset, a person suddenly fell in front of the car, so shocked that he thought he had hit someone, and hurriedly ordered someone to get out of the car to check, but found that it was a mentally imperfect person who slipped to the ground, and he ordered his subordinates to beat the person violently and throw him on the side of the road.

But he never expected that it was Bai Ronghai's brother Bai Rongchuan who was seriously injured by his own order, and what he didn't expect was that Bai Ronghai actually cut off contact with their Lu family because of this. When he learned the news that the two families of Bai Qiu were about to marry, he couldn't wait to smash all the utensils in the mansion. His father seemed much calmer than him, and immediately ordered him to go to the Bai family with a generous gift to apologize, but he didn't even enter the gate of the Bai family. After that, his father used various connections in Baijiawan to say all the soft and good things in front of Bai Ronghai, but it had no effect. In this way, the matter dragged on to this day, and Bai Qiaoxuan was going to come to Yejin to discuss marriage, and they also decided to make this last stand.

Lu Jingwu knew that time was tight and he had to end the matter before dawn, but he was afraid that his actions in Yejin would be discovered and his traces would be revealed, so he chose a wasteland thirty miles away from Yejin to give Bai Qiaoxuan an ultimatum.

Like Tong Yuqing, because there was no light, Bai Qiaoxuan was very uncomfortable with the surrounding light when Lu Jingwu opened the car door. By the time he could see, Lu Jingwu had roughly set up a table of wine. It is said that the banquet is good, but in fact, there is only one table, one pot and two glasses, and there is no seat, so you can only sit on the ground.

"Bai Gongzi, this day is really hard, you should have been accompanied by wine and beautiful women at night, but let me take it to this wilderness and wilderness, I can't stand you, come, I will punish myself with three glasses first!" As he spoke, Lu Jingwu raised his wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Bai Qiaoxuan knew that he must have something to say, so he simply kept his face calm and kept silent.

"A few months ago, a few things that didn't have long eyes under my hands accidentally injured your uncle, we have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I am here to apologize to you, I hope that your Bai family adults will not remember villains, spare these things that are as eyeless as me. I'll do three more toasts. Lu Jingwu drank three more glasses with a smile on his face.

Bai Qiaoxuan glanced at the few people who were dragged to kneel beside him, and looked sloppy: "Young Master Lu said this strangely, our Bai family is just a small merchant in Puxin Prefecture, how dare we blame Lord Overseer's subordinates?" Could it be that these brothers are injured, it is really not our Bai family's doing, please Young Master Lu to investigate. ”

"Bai Gongzi misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Don't say that these brutes are fine now, even if you really break their legs, I will never dare to say anything. I mean, don't ruin the relationship between our two families for a misunderstanding. Our Lu family can't please us, don't you Bai family also cut off a financial route? In fact, you all understand this truth, so give me a word tonight, how can you be willing to reopen the port to us? We pay double the price of the Qiu family? Or triple it? Five-fold? Or you can say as much as you want. And I will find the best Langzhong from Puxi and go to your mansion to take care of your uncle. And the ...... of your Bai family in the future"

"Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu...... You are too high-minded, your father is still at home, where is my turn to be in charge? Bai Qiaoxuan interrupted Lu Jingwu at the right time.

"Bai Gongzi is modest, you are the eldest son in the family, and you have helped your father take care of official affairs for a few years, what do you want to discuss with Lingzun these years?" Lu Jingwu smiled.

"Since you know Qiao Xuan's status in the family, of course, you can also guess that breaking off the relationship with your Lu family is that Qiao Xuan supports his father." Bai Qiaoxuan looked directly at Lu Jingwu when he said this, as if he was not worried about his current situation at all.

Lu Jingwu's eyes have changed a few times, but the smile on his face has not changed, "Bai Gongzi is young and vigorous, and he is always so hasty when he looks at problems, if you think about it carefully, your attitude can be changed......"

Bai Qiaoxuan was still staring at Lu Jingwu, his eyes did not move at all, and he said three words categorically, "No." ”

The smile on Lu Jingwu's face did not decrease, but he slowly stood up, Bai Qiaoxuan also stood up with him, the two looked at each other, and neither of them moved their eyes.

The deadlock was still broken by Lu Jingwu: "Since this is the case, then ......"

Bai Qiaoxuan's gaze that seemed to be fixed suddenly turned to Lu Jingwu's right rear, which made Lu Jingwu instinctively alert, pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed at the right rear, only to find that there was nothing but the Heavenly Army patrolling around. Suddenly, he felt a slight tangle in his calf, and then he realized that he had fallen for Bai Qiaoxuan's plan, but it was too late to react at this time. Bai Qiaoxuan had already pulled out the gun he had hidden in his boot the moment he turned around, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at him.

Seeing this, the surrounding heavenly armies hurriedly surrounded Bai Qiaoxuan, and pointed their guns at Bai Qiaoxuan, and the air condensed to the extreme. Slowly, Lu Jingwu turned around, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Bai Qiaoxuan from top to bottom, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Boy, I really underestimated you...... But that's right, the person who can instigate his father to fall to the Qiu family shouldn't be an ordinary person, but do you think that with you, you can kill me Lu Jingwu? Or do you think that if you take me as a hostage like you are now, you will be able to escape death tonight? ”

"He didn't think anything, Lu Jingwu!" A mellow and majestic voice sounded out of nowhere, but it covered the entire wasteland.

Lu Jingwu was startled by this voice, but he regained his composure after a moment: "Qiu Zeyuan? ”

"It's me, I've been waiting here for a long time. Lu Jingwu, I will give you two roads, the first one, you let Qiao Xuan go tonight, I will let you go back to your Puxi, and I will never embarrass you on the road; Second, if you don't let Qiao Xuan go, we will fight to the death here. I'll give you a stick of incense time to think about it. After that, there was no sound, only the sound of the autumn wind hitting the fallen leaves, which was particularly desolate.

Lu Jingwu only felt his heart pounding, how could Qiu Zeyuan suddenly appear here? He was clearly prepared for his arrival, and even hearing his voice could not tell where others were. The spies sent out have not yet returned, and he has no way of knowing how many men Qiu Zeyuan has brought. And since he even knows his whereabouts Qiu Zeyuan well, the third brother Jingpeng is likely to have been discovered by him. Where is he now......

After a while, Lu Jingwu understood that he was now a fish and meat to be slaughtered.

"I'll let Bai Qiao Xuan go, but my brother Jingpeng is still ...... now"

"Don't hurry, wait, they're almost there. Qiao Xuan, how about you go and taste Puxi's wine for me? How does it taste compared to our Pudong? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled dumbly, the old man was really leisurely. However, since it was the order of his future father-in-law, he still had to obey, so he raised the cup that he had just touched on the table, and drank the wine in the cup.

"Back to Lord Overseer, this wine is a good wine, fragrant and mellow, but this wine glass looks like gold but not gold, like copper but not copper, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, even if it is contained in this wine glass, it will become mortal."

What does Bai Qiaoxuan mean by this, Qiu Zeyuan and Lu Jingwu both know it in their hearts, but now one drunkard does not mean to drink, and one person is anxious, and no one says anything else. This made Bai Qiaoxuan's heart go up and down, and he didn't know if his answer was in line with Qiu Zeyuan's intentions. But before he could think about it for long, Lu Jingpeng arrived, but he was just in a sack and thrown next to Lu Jingwu.

Lu Jingwu was both shocked and angry, but he really didn't have enough strength to confront the Yuan Army at this time, so he could only swallow his anger.

The deputy general who came with Lu Jingwu had the courage to step forward to untie the hemp rope and release Lu Jingpeng.

As everyone expected, the color on Lu Jingpeng's face was very good-looking, and after taking off the rags stuffed in his mouth, he scolded and didn't let people hear a word clearly, but the general idea could still be understood, he was scolding Qiu Tong and the two treacherous. This made the soldiers of the Far Army present laugh, and also made the soldiers of the Heavenly Army present not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

"Get out! Lu Jingwu, it's almost dawn, you'd better hurry up, let me find out that you are still in my Pudong territory at dawn, and it is not my fault that I will meet each other in battle. Qiu Zeyuan's voice echoed again.

Before dawn? How can it be? They were dressed in disguise, and it took more than a month to travel from Jindu to Yejin. Lu Jingwu thought about it calmly, the time to walk in disguise is much more than the time to escape, if there are no roadblocks, and just leaving the territory of Pudong, five days should be enough. But except for the only time left tonight, these fifty of them still have to resist the distant army for five days and four nights, but I am afraid that even if they return to Puxi safely, these fifty elites will be lost. Lu Jingwu gritted his teeth fiercely and ordered an immediate retreat.

After Lu Jingwu's people walked away, Bai Qiaoxuan was invited by an officer to get into the car and drive in the direction of Yejin.

Bai Qiaoxuan was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know where Qiu Zeyuan was now, but he didn't dare to ask because of his identity. The officer sitting in the co-pilot seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said: "Bai Gongzi, it is getting late, the Overseer has ordered me to send you to the post house to rest first, and tomorrow afternoon he will send someone to pick you up, and in the evening he will officially feast you at the Overseer's Palace." Don't worry about other matters, the Overseers will take care of everything. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, your surname?"

"Bai Gongzi is polite, his surname is Yan, his name is Bingzhi, and he is one of the personal lieutenants of the Overseer. This time, I will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation in Yejin, and you can order me to do anything you have any requirements. ”

"In this way, there will be Brother Lao Yan." Bai Qiaoxuan's body was exhausted at this time, but his mind did not dare to relax in the slightest. Before testing the waters, it is better not to ask about the military arrangements of the distant army. This time, in order to maintain the dignity of the Bai family, he suggested that his father temporarily cut off contact with the Lu family, and he was not without hesitation in his heart about this decision, but after all, the Qiu family had just saved his only uncle, so it was reasonable to stand in the camp of the Qiu family at this time......
