Lu Sheng hurriedly helped the woman up, "You don't have to do this. ”

Lu Sheng's bearing made the woman instinctively a little in awe, and she didn't even dare to look at Lu Sheng's eyebrows. has been an official for more than a year, and there is still a lot of official authority. Even if it didn't show it, let alone put on an official show, it still showed an unusual momentum.

After the excitement, the mother and son slowly regained their composure, Cheng Xiang raised his head and looked at the white silk on the door frame, "Dad is still gone?"

Cheng Xiang's tone was very calm, as if he was indifferent. But Lu Sheng knew that this was the child's calm reaction. If it weren't for filial piety, how could he sell himself to save his father? It's just that Cheng Xiang may have understood in his heart that the five taels of silver he sold were not enough to save his father's life at all.

"Come, Xiang'er, kowtow to your father. Engong, the humble house is simple, please take care of ......" After the woman came back to her soul, she looked very decent.

Cheng Xiang went to the house, but Lu Sheng and the others did not enter. This home is so small that when they go in, they don't even have a place to stand. Lu Sheng looked around, and the nearest house was a few hundred meters away from his house.

"Do you have a field at home?" Lu Sheng asked softly.

"No, in order to treat my man, everything that can be sold has been sold. If it weren't for that, Xiang'er wouldn't have thought of selling herself. Xiang'er has been sensible since she was a child, and she almost never let me worry about it, but I didn't expect him to be so bold this time......"

"This kid ...... I love it. Lu Sheng smiled slightly, took out two ingots of silver from the money bag on his waist, "Handed it to the woman, I have a relationship with Cheng Xiang, this child, don't shirk." Your family is like this, how can you live without this money?

Buy a piece of land and repair your home, I'm not giving you money, I'm just giving you hope. You will have a hard time in the future, with two children to support.

But no matter how hard it is, people always have to live. ”

The woman's eyes turned red as she listened. did not take the money immediately, but fell to the ground with a plop and solemnly kowtowed to Lu Sheng.

This time, Lu Sheng did not dodge or block, and if he wanted to stop it, people were uneasy.

Take the silver, heavy.

The twenty taels of silver fluttering in Lu Sheng's hands are the hope for the future of the two children for the woman. She herself has long been hopeless.

Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the time. At this time, Cheng Xiang came out of the house. The eyes were very red, and it could be seen that Cheng Xiang had just cried.

"Uncle ......"

"I'm leaving, I have a few words to say to you, you come with me. ”

Cheng Xiang nodded, and followed Lu Sheng to the open space behind the hut.

"Uncle ......"

Suddenly, Lu Sheng turned around violently, put his fingers and sword against Cheng Xiang's eyebrows, and his powerful spiritual power instantly broke through Cheng Xiang's spiritual consciousness sea.

Being forcibly broken through the sea of spiritual consciousness, that kind of pain is very understandable. And it was when it happened suddenly. But Cheng Xiang was able to grit his teeth and not make a sound.

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a sea of vicissitudes. Lu Sheng put away his fingers and quietly looked at Cheng Xiang, whose face was pale and trembling.

After a long time, Cheng Xiang's body stopped trembling, and his eyes returned from fear to clarity.

"Remember?"

"Remember!" Cheng Xiang nodded in response.

"Study hard!" Lu Sheng smiled silently, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Master-" With a plop, Cheng Xiang knelt down at Lu Sheng......

"You can't call me master yet! Ten years from now, I don't just want you to succeed in your cultivation, I want you to gain fame. If you can't do it, you're not worthy of being my disciple. ”

"Yes! Xiang'er understood. ”

"Be filial to your mother, and come to the Criminal Division to find me when you encounter difficulties. If I'm not there, I can also ask someone to write to me, my name is Lu Sheng, the word Yuzhu, the general director of Jinling Xuantianfu, it's very easy to inquire. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Sheng waved his sleeves and walked away along the undulating path under the slanting sun.

The carriage slowly entered Tongnan City, and this time the driver was replaced by Gai Ying.

"Are Feng Jian's people in place?"

"In place, three brothers have been arranged, and they will be closely monitored at twelve o'clock, and once Lai Chuntao has any intentions, he will definitely not be able to escape our ears and eyes. ”

"Gai Ying ......"

"Inferior!"

"You are a native of Tongnan Mansion, how are the Japanese people in Tongnan Mansion?" Lu Sheng asked lightly as he lifted the curtain.

"I've always had rumors of the Japanese robbers, but I haven't seen many people before. It was only in the past year that the Japanese invaded the border. ”

"Is that so......" Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something, "By the way, I heard you last time that your division was destroyed by gangsters, does this kind of thing often happen in Jiangbei Province?"

Gai Ying was silent, and after a long time, he said faintly, "Not often! A few days before the master's fiftieth birthday five years ago, one night, my senior sister and I thought about giving the master a big gift. We were thinking about it in the back mountain, and suddenly, the fog shadow gate was blazing.

Senior Sister and I rushed back, and dozens of mysterious masters raided the Fog Shadow Gate. The martial arts of that group of people were extremely high, and each of them was above the innate realm. Although the master's martial arts are high, he is also outnumbered.

During the fighting, I was beaten down a cliff and was seriously injured although I survived. Three days later, I dragged one leg back to the Fog Shadow Gate.

The entire division had turned into a scorched earth, and in the scorched earth, I found the bodies of my brothers. They all died miserably, and each one stared at each one of them.

The senior brother was stabbed seventeen times, the second brother was stabbed thirty-two times, the third brother's head was cut off, and the fourth brother was stabbed through the throat with a sword. The Fog Shadow Sect, seven personal disciples, and seventy-three outer disciples, all died in that disaster.

The master's body still stood in the ruins, and he did not let go of the sword in his hand until he died. I dragged my broken leg and buried my master and brothers with my own hands.

I swear that I must find out the murderer and avenge my master. It's been five years, but after five years, I don't even know who the murderer is......"

"No wonder I feel that your body has been on the left side, it turns out that your right leg has been injured?" Lu Jian asked in a low voice.

"Although the leg injury has healed, the strength of the right leg is missing because of the injury. ”

"It seems that the small Tongnan Mansion is also surging secretly. A top sect in Jiangbei Province can be destroyed overnight? That force is like an underground court. Whoever is said to be destroyed, he will be destroyed!"

It has only been nearly a year since they really appeared, but that doesn't mean they only existed for a year. Every time the Wako appeared, they landed from overseas, which made everyone in Tongnan Province think that the nest of the Wako was overseas.

But the destruction of the Fang family made Lu Sheng think of another possibility. The Japanese may be in the middle of Tongnan Province.

If the Japanese were not in Tongnan Mansion, then how could the Li family meet their youngest daughter in the vegetable market so coincidentally? Moreover, the Japanese were able to destroy the Fang family without knowing it, and in addition to revealing the motive of killing people, they also told Lu Sheng that it would be easy for them to appear anywhere in Tongnan Mansion.

This had to make Lu Sheng more vigilant.

It was getting dark, and the night in Tongnan City began to be lively. Although it is not as prosperous as Suzhou City, there are already frequent exchanges on the street.

"Stop!" Suddenly, Lu Sheng stopped Gai Ying, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Lu Sheng's eyes looked straight ahead, and four or five coastal defense soldiers were walking in front with a grin, swaying and swaying, just like Chen Dongzi he saw in the blacksmith shop that day.

Although he did not wear soldier armor, the clothes on his body were the standard attire of soldiers. As a soldier, he doesn't look like a soldier at all, pushing and shouting, just like a scoundrel on the street.

At this moment, four or five people poured out of a tea tent not far away, all dressed as coastal defense soldiers. As soon as the two sides met, there was a burst of laughter, and then they formed a group and flocked to a red-lit place on the far side of the street. On top of the three-story building, the plaque of the Cuihua Building is so dazzling.

"My lord, I think we should see one and kill one of them. ”

"The Coastal Defense Forces are subordinate to the Ministry of War, and even if they have problems with military discipline, they should be sanctioned by the Ministry of War. It's just that I'm very puzzled, haven't the coastal defense troops not received their salaries for five years? But they give me the feeling that they are living a very free life. Do you still have the money to go to Cuihualou to be merry and happy?"

"They're already a bunch of walking dead, and they've done anything to corrupt military discipline. ”

"Gai Ying, you send them back to the Criminal Division first, Lu Jian, let's go and inquire. ”

Lu Sheng got out of the carriage and walked to the tea shed on the side, and the owner of the tea shed greeted him warmly, "Two guest officers, eat tea?"

"Boss, I just saw a few people come out of you and enter the Cuihua Building opposite?

Suddenly, the owner of the tea shed showed a look that I understood, "Childe, are you here to inquire which girl in Cuihualou is good to serve? You are going to go into the Cuihua Building, and say that you are the best girls, and I promise that the old bustard will say that every one of their girls is the best.

But let me tell you, there are only five girls in Cuihualou, known as the Five Golden Flowers......" As he spoke, the owner of the tea shed rubbed his fingers and said nothing.

"The boss is joking, I'm just curious, but the ones who went in just now are wearing military uniforms?"

"Yes, from the Coastal Defense Army!" the boss returned in a natural tone, seeing that Lu Sheng was unmoved, and the boss's enthusiasm was not as high as before.

"As a soldier...... Isn't it a bit ...... Too much?"

"Hey, I'm used to it, it's not a day or two. ”

Lu Sheng's brows tightened, the people of Tongnan City don't seem to be disgusted by the coastal defense army's actions? It stands to reason that as a soldier, the people should be blamed for not abiding by military law and discipline, but obviously, the people in the city have an attitude of caring about my.

"I said, Childe, what are we little people doing with those idle minds? These soldiers don't get in the way of us. Don't fight, don't bully the people, don't show off your might, such a soldier is already good. You can still repel the Japanese from time to time, don't you still rub the sand in your eyes?"

However, the military reports reported by the coastal defense army to the military headquarters were indeed the result of their repeated repulsion of the Japanese invaders.

How ironic......
