At this time, Jiao Li scolded Ruda: "Dog mongrel, who do you say is not a thing." Before the words fell, the long whip in his hand wrapped around Luda's waist, Luda was not in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to grab the whip and said, "You come over to me." ”

Jiao Li, this guy was known for brute force when he was young, and now although he is a little old, he is not inferior to ordinary young people in terms of strength, so he has always been arrogant. "Gripping the handle with both hands, his buttocks fell back, and he gritted his teeth and glared at the milking energy to pull Ruda over. Ruda laughed and said, "Go ahead! After finishing speaking, he wrapped the whip around his arm twice, pulled it suddenly, and then threw it to the side, and Jiao Li's short and fat body was thrown out six or seven feet away, and he lay on the ground with a "bang" and made a mess.

As soon as Meng Qi saw Lu Da's face, he threw out his second brother Jiao Li, who was known for his strength, hurriedly ran over to help Jiao Li up, and turned back to Lu Da and said, "General Lu, please calm your anger, I don't know what your old man has to teach me when he comes to my Meng Qi's dilapidated mansion in his busy schedule?" ”

Lu Da said: "I don't dare to say it, I just want to do Lu Zhonglian for both of you." ”

Zhu Long said: "General Lu, what do you say?" ”

Luda said: "I also heard it outside, the predecessors of your old man Meng and the predecessors of the Zhu brothers have all followed the generalissimo of the border pass Yang Liulang to shed blood and sweat heroes, all of you are old people, since you are old people, why bother because of a war book, even see each other with swords and guns?" The strategic policy recorded in the military book is that no matter how powerful it is, it is still the people who decide the victory or defeat in the end. ”

Meng Qi said: "Stop! General Lu, just say it directly, how to do Lu Zhonglian? ”

Luda said: "I don't think you have to tear your face between you and the Zhu family, if that "Liulang Taoluo" really has to be in your house, please ask Old Man Meng to come out, and let the Zhu family brothers copy a copy and take it back to Old Man Hu." As for the original work, I think it can be handed over to the court for the purpose of securing national defense. How about you all see this? ”

At this time, Yue Yang said: "Okay, I think General Lu's method is feasible, I think the purpose of Generalissimo Yang Liulang's writing of this military book back then was nothing more than to protect the family and defend the country, how can we take the "Liulang Taolu" as our own for our own selfish interests." ”

Then Yue Yang walked to Meng Qi's side and said, "Big brother, just listen to the little sister's words, take out the "Liulang Taoluo" and give it to everyone to see." ”

Meng Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Okay then!" Wait, everyone, I'll go to the study and get it. ”

With that, Meng Qi turned around and walked towards the study.

Zhu Long stepped forward and saluted Lu Da with a fist: "It's still General Lu who has the prestige and ability to override public opinion, so that I can wait for ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream of "oops" from the study.

Ruda yelled, "Not good. He flew towards the study, and everyone followed.

A beam of white light filtered through the thick window and cast onto the floor, illuminating the neatly arranged bookshelves and closets.

A few feet past in the sun, one was leaning sideways over his chest, his mouth wide open, leaning against a short cabinet, and holding out his other hand. Pointing to a drawer that has been pulled open.

This person went into the study to get Meng Qi of "Liulang Taoluo",

Ruda flew up and kicked open the door of the study that was bolted from the inside, and he was stunned by what he saw. Luda hurriedly rushed over and hugged Meng Qi and shouted, "Old Man Meng, Old Man Meng." Meng Qi opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Luda, tilted his head and swallowed his last breath.

At this time, everyone also rushed over, and Luda put down Meng Qi and walked to the open drawer to take a look. There was a secret compartment under the drawer, and in the secret compartment was a small empty box, obviously the contents of the box had been taken by the person who killed Meng Qi.

Luda turned around and looked at Chai Yuan and Chen Yongdao, who were examining Meng Qi's corpse: "Two seniors. What can be found. ”

Chai Yuan shook his head and said, "There is only a wound the thickness of chopsticks on my chest, but I can't see what I did." ”

At this time, I heard Yue Yang, who was watching on the windowsill, shouting, "Everyone, come and see what is going on here?" Everyone followed the sound and saw that Yue Yang was pulling a long black silk with both hands, which was a strand of black hair four or five feet long. It was obvious that it was a woman's hair, and judging from the dark and shiny color, it should be the hair of a young woman who was good at taking care of herself.

Obviously, this woman also came to the "Liulang Taoluo" military book, and has been lurking in the dark for a long time, until Meng Qi went to the study to pick up the book after being persuaded by Luda, she took the opportunity to enter, killed Meng Qi with a hidden weapon, and walked through the window after snatching the book.

Meng Qi was assassinated, "Liulang Taoluo" disappeared, and the three heroes of the Zhu family said goodbye to Luda and everyone with a depressed expression, and went back to their hometown of Zhujiazhuang, Dulonggang, Jining Prefecture, Shandong.

Meng Qi's four sworn brothers and sisters and his son Meng Kang began to hold the funeral, which can really be said to be a blessing and a blessing. Yesterday, everyone was happily drinking the festive wine of the 60th birthday with the deceased, and today they have become strangers separated by yin and yang.

That's all life is. Once the eyes are closed, they will fight for a day, and once the eyes are closed, they will never be opened again, and that is a lifetime.

In this life, people still don't want too much luxury, if they are greedy, they won't be able to swallow it, just like Meng Qi, they have to use that Liulang Taoluo to build their own fortress, although the fortress is there, but their lives are not saved.

Fate is predestined, who can force it.

Luda rode on the back of the snow lion and thought as he walked, who could kill Meng Qi quietly in front of everyone, and the person who came was so good that Meng Qi, who could make the rivers and lakes also have some fame, easily lost his life without resistance.

It is possible that the murderer infiltrated the Meng family's compound at the same time as himself, and he didn't even find out about it almost overnight, Luda carefully counted the people he knew, or heard of in his head, and counted back and forth four or five times and didn't figure out who did it.

Who is it, who is it, and what is the real purpose of her (he) taking away "Liulang Taoluo"?

White horses howl and dust fly; Tightening the bridle, the mount hurried, and a larger market town appeared ahead. It belongs to the Shandong realm and is where the yamen of Taoqiu County is located.

It was late afternoon when Ruda arrived, and there were still many people on the streets. He had no choice but to jump off his mount and lead the horse, while asking the people on the street about the way to the county yamen, while leading the horse and walking slowly, he soon came to the Taoqiu county government.

The reason why Luda came here is because when he left Bianliang, Tokyo to announce his farewell to the iron-faced face Pei, Pei Xuan entrusted Luda to bring a letter to Pei Xuan's classmate and friend Wen Huanzhang, who was the magistrate of Taoqiu County at this time.

Wen Huanzhang, who was about to have dinner, heard the letter brought by his old friend in the capital, so he happily hurriedly put down the wine glass he had just picked up and greeted him: "Please, please, please sit inside." While asking Luda to the house, he instructed his family: "Wenlu, hurry up and order two good dishes from the hotel opposite, and I will accompany this benevolent brother from the capital to have two drinks." ”

After Luda sat down, he took out the letter from his arms with the iron-faced face Pei Xuan and handed it to Wen Huanzhang and said, "Wenzhi County, this is the letter that your old classmate Mr. Pei Xuanpei gave you when I left the capital. ”

Wen Huanwen said happily: "Haha, I didn't expect that after seven or eight years of separation, my brother Pei still remembers someone Wen." ”

He took the letter, opened it, looked at it twice, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fist and saluted Luda: "I really didn't expect that you are the Huwei general who defeated Yelu Yongshan of Liao State in the Genyue Ring Competition, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Luda hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Lord Zhixian doesn't have to be polite. ”

At this time, the family member Wen Lu walked in with the food ordered from the hotel, and after setting the wine and food on the table, he said, "Master, hurry up and invite the guests to sit down for dinner." ”

Wen Huanzhang said to Lu Da: "General Lu, please take a seat, let's talk while eating." ”

After Luda sat down, Wen Huanzhang picked up the wine glass and said: "General Lu has been in the dust all the way, and the right to drink this cup of wine for you has taken the wind and washed the dust." ”

Luda raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhixian." ”

The two toasted together.

The two talked while eating, Wen Huanzhang introduced the customs and customs of Shandong to Luda, and Luda told Wen Huanzhang about the anecdotes in the capital, which can really be said to be a wine and a happy talk.

At this time, Wen Huanzhang already had seven or eight points of alcohol. Wen Huanzhang picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said: "General Lu, I don't know what you have to do all the way from the capital to Shandong!" ”

Ruda said casually: "Actually, it's not a big deal? It's just the will of Long Live that we have to go. ”

Wen Huanzhang was slightly drunk and said: "General Lu, I don't know what kind of thing is worth it for you, General Huwei, to go out in person." ”

Luda said: "I don't know if this thing is true or false? ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "What's the matter, is there anyone who dares to deceive our emperor." ”

Luda said: "It's the matter of the mutton fat jade paperweight lion, you may also have heard of it." ”

Wen Huanzhang nodded again and again: "Yes, I have heard about this matter, and it has been almost thirty years since this incident, why is the emperor still thinking about it." ”

Luda sighed and said: "Alas, the emperor doesn't know if he heard from that mouthy donkey, and that pair of jade lions appeared in Tai'an Prefecture in your Shandong Province again, so I have to go there to find it back." ”

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the emperor is really, ignoring the court, sending people around every day to find out what antique treasures, whether that thing can be used as food for the people, or can it be used as clothes for the people, and it is not a proper job." ”

Luda hurriedly stopped him and said: "Wenzhi County, don't talk nonsense, if you let the villain with other people ......" (to be continued.) )
