I watched the sunset in the western sky gradually fade, and the dusk quietly descended in the pine waves and evening breeze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The first few stars appeared on the vast canopy, and the dark shadows of bats fluttering between the trees swayed.

Overlooking the dusk of the small mountain village, it is like a golden moon falling in the Tianhe, and from the village where the cooking smoke curls, from time to time there are a few dogs barking and rooster crowing, as if it is a hazy dream.

Zhang Fan came to the dense forest next to the avenue, looked around to make sure that there was no one around, took out the white jade horse card, and said silently in his heart:

"Calling".

A neighing of a horse like a dragon sounded, and the snow-white and handsome jade lion jumped out of the void, and was excited when he saw Zhang Fan, running around him in a circle, and rubbing his head intimately into his arms.

"It's nice to see you again, old fellow."

Zhang Fan also happily hugged its head and gently stroked his sideburns. When the jade lion heard his words, he snorted happily, and was very happy.

Before this departure, Zhang Fan bought a skin mask from the system mall and put it on his head, and instantly turned into a middle-aged villain with a scruffy beard and a meaty face. Then he covered a coarse linen shirt over the gold silk soft armor, disguised as a middle-aged bandit bandit.

Turned over and got on the horse, urged the reins, and the jade lion turned into a streamer of light in the night, galloping away in the direction of Jing County......

――――

Wu County, the land of the Lu clan, Lu Kang was dumbfounded, his face was cloudy, his hands trembled, the note in his hand was crumpled into a ball, and it took him a long time to speak:

Lu's ...... It's over! ”

Lu Bao's heart palpitated, it was the first time in so many years that he had seen his father so panicked, and he stepped forward and asked with concern:

"Father, are you alright?"

Lu Kang waved his hand, didn't let Lu Bao help him, leaned on the door frame and fell into deep thought. The needle drop in the room could be smelled, which was suffocating, and after a while, Lu Bao couldn't help but ask:

"Father, isn't it...... The assassination failed? ”

Lu Kang's tone was indescribably lonely: "Alas, the assassination team killed a total of seventy-five people, including ...... Tu Ash, Zhang Fan was seriously injured and jumped into the water, coinciding with a flash flood, and he didn't know where he was washed away...... There is no one in life, and no corpse in death. ”

Lu Bao's face changed greatly, "Huh? Butcher is dead? How can it be? With Zhang Fan's martial arts...... How could it be possible to kill Butcher? ”

"Only the ghost knows this...... Lu Kang sighed quietly, slapped his right hand on the coffee table, and scolded hatefully:

"This bastard is also innocent! deliberately transferred other people and went to fight Zhang Fan alone, but he turned into a charred corpse, not to mention, and gave Zhang Fan the opportunity to escape...... Worse than useless! If he comes back alive, I will have to give him the most painful punishment in the world! ”

"But if we can't even kill him, then there's really nothing we can do...... Such a good opportunity can't kill him this time, could it be that Zhang Fan is really an immortal who descends to earth and is favored by God? ”

"Confused! Very foolish! Lu Kang hated the iron and stared at his youngest son and scolded:

"He's just an ordinary person who knows some magic! The same is flesh and blood, and if you are stabbed and speared, you will bleed and die. At the beginning, Zhang Jiao was also known as a monstrous mana, calling for wind and rain, but now he is not also a handful of loess! ”

Seeing that his father was furious, Lu Bao hurriedly admitted his mistake:

"The father's lesson is that the child knows what is wrong."

Lu Kang didn't speak, and Lu Bao asked timidly:

"Father, what should we do now?"

Lu Kang took a deep breath, his deep eyes were full of wise light, and he said clearly:

"First of all, send some more people out and search for Zhang Fan's traces along the river, he is so seriously injured, he can't survive without treatment, go to the major medical centers and pharmacies to look for clues, once found, kill him."

Lu Bao nodded, and Lu Kang continued:

"Secondly, last time Zulang received my letter...... So far, there has been no action, probably because he heard the news that we were courting Zhang Fan, and suspected that we were colluding...... Now that the news of the failure of the marriage is well known, I am going to write another letter to tell him the false news of Zhang Fan's assassination and induce him to send troops, but there is no basis for his words, and it may be difficult to win his trust with this thing alone......"

Lu Kang looked at Lu Bao without saying anything, Lu Bao heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said:

"Father, is there anything I can do for you...... You might as well say bluntly, for the sake of the rise and fall of the Lu family, I am duty-bound......"

Lu Kang bowed slightly: "Hmm...... I think so, even if Zhang Fan is lucky not to die this time, he is also dying at this time, and he will definitely not be able to rush to Jing County, which is hundreds of miles away, in a short time, so the Jing County army at this time is still a group of dragons without a leader, as long as Zu Lang leads troops to kill, he will definitely be able to break the first victory camp. ”

Lu Bao nodded, completely agreeing with this statement. Lu Kang went on to say:

"So now the first task is to convince Zu Lang to let him send troops immediately. So I plan for you to personally send a letter to Zu Lang, Chen said that it is very powerful, and at the same time stay in the Shanyue army as a hostage, so that Zu Lang will definitely be able to dispel his suspicions and send troops with peace of mind...... Of course, this task is still risky, but I don't know what you think? ”

Lu Bao's face was cloudy, he hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind:

"In order to completely bring down Zhang Fan and save the Lu family's safety, I don't mind taking risks, I'm willing to go."

Lu Kang was relieved and praised without hesitation:

"Good! Very good! is worthy of my Lu Kang's son! I know that you have no intention of career, after this incident, I will inherit the thousands of acres of fertile land in Purple Potato Mountain to your name, and you will be a rich man in peace and ease in the future! ”

Lu Bao was overjoyed, knelt down and thanked, "Thank you, father." ”

Lu Kang helped him up with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Without further ado, horses, dry rations, guards, letters...... When everything is ready, you go back and say goodbye to your wife and children, and then leave immediately! Remember, be careful! ”

Lu Bao pondered for a moment and said, "The farewell will be done by my father!" Late will change, and I'll leave right now. You have inconvenient legs...... You don't have to send me. Well, how much you treasure ......"

After saying this, Lu Bao saluted and left in a hurry under the leadership of the servant......

……

After three days and three nights of non-stop changing horses and hurrying, Lu Kang and his party finally came to Zulang Benzhai in the evening, Zulang personally met him, Lu Bao stated his intentions, and presented his father to Zu Lang's letter, Zu Lang was overjoyed after reading it, and said with a smile:

"The sixth prince has traveled all the way hard, please come in and rest, wait for me to discuss with the two virtuous brothers for a while, and give you a reply before dark, okay?"

"Well, there's no time to lose. Then I'll wait for good news. ”

Lu Bao had already said everything he should have said, and then he was led down by Zu Lang's men to rest......

When Lu Bao came out of the hall, Zu Lang asked Fei Zhan and Peng Dan to invite Fei Zhan and Peng Dan to tell the story of the future, and then asked:

"I wonder what the two brothers think?"

Fei Zhan slapped his thigh and screamed:

"Oh, last time I said that we should send troops immediately, but you hesitated and looked ahead...... What a missed opportunity! You two should have listened to me a long time ago......"

Peng Dan glanced at him dissatisfied: "Joke! At that time, the three of us agreed not to send troops for the time being, you must have forgotten, right? ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zu Lang hurriedly diverted the topic:

"Alright, alright! Two brothers, the previous things are gone...... Even if you missed the opportunity last time, you still have a chance! Right? Are the two in favor of sending troops this time? ”

Fei Zhan took the first step to speak: "Of course I agree!" Such a great opportunity, it would be a big fool to miss it again! ”

Peng Dan ignored Fei Zhan's finger and scolded Huai, and asked seriously:

"I don't know something, the Lu family just asked Zhang Fan for marriage on the front foot, and was immediately ambushed when he was refused, is this normal?"

Zu Lang pondered for a moment and said: "According to Lu Bao, the Lu clan originally planned to win over Zhang Fan, but since Zhang Fan didn't know how to lift and was very threatening to the Lu clan, the Lu clan decided to completely eradicate him. ”

Peng Dan asked again: "The marriage between the Lu family and Zhang Fan failed, is the news true?" ”

Zu Lang nodded, "The spies came to report this morning, and it can already be confirmed, and now there are many discussions everywhere in the six counties of Jiangdong!" ”

Peng Hu then asked, "What about the identity of this person?" How can you confirm the identity of his son of Lu Kang? ”

Zu Lang smiled: "I once planted eyeliner and worked as a horseman in the Lu family, although I was driven away without hearing any valuable information, but he can confirm Lu Bao's identity." ”

Fei Zhan muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you just order it?" Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, like a girl......"

Fei Zhan glared at him hatefully, "Since that's the case, there shouldn't be any problem, and I'm also in favor of sending troops." ”

Zu Lang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, since Zhang Fan is dead, what is the reason for the Shousheng Battalion?" Then the two brothers will go down and prepare! Let's set off tomorrow and set foot in the Han army camp in one fell swoop! ”

"No." The two of them gladly accepted, turned around and went down to prepare for the expedition...... (To be continued.) )
