Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry, drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Here are gathered the sons and daughters of famous families from major families in Hebei, and I, a small guard of Yanwangfu, have such a big courage to cause trouble, don't you think it's strange that the second head of the Lu family?" ”

Lu Yi is not stupid, he knows that everything has a reason, and it may be wrong for Zhang Xuan to beat people, but the place where the accident happened is in front of Zhang Xuan's desk, which is obviously someone deliberately provoking Zhang Xuan, and Bai Xinyang's words also made Lu Yi secretly annoyed, he learned the oiliness of officialdom at a young age, and caused trouble himself, but let the Lu family clean up the aftermath.

It's just that Lu Yi himself is dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan, and he advocates driving Zhang Xuan out of the Lu Mansion, but he is strongly opposed by his eldest brother, and now something has happened in the West Courtyard.

The new hatred and old hatred were hooked together, he stared at Zhang Xuan and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Xuan, it's not that my Lu family doesn't understand hospitality, and you have gone too far, please!" The Lu family does not welcome guests like you. ”

Zhang Xuan was still unhurried, and said coldly: "The second head of the Lu family really wants to expel me, don't you regret it?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Second Master Lu, I originally planned to visit Governor Guo and talk about Lu Mingyue, but for the sake of such a warm invitation from the Lu family, I decided to remain silent, but if the Second Lu family insists on going its own way, then I, Zhang Xuan, can only do business."

After speaking, Zhang Xuan stared at Lu Yi sharply, as if he had seen through his whole person.

Lu Yi's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, how could this person know about Lu Mingyue's assassination of Guo Xuan, could it

Lu Yi became more and more suspicious in his heart, he originally felt that he seemed to have seen Zhang Xuan somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything, until Zhang Xuan mentioned Lu Mingyue at this time, he suddenly remembered, wasn't Zhang Xuan the young traveler he met at the inn?

Lu Yi's heart was suddenly flustered, the saint was in Zhuo County at this time, if this matter was exposed, I am afraid that not only Luo Yi would not be able to escape, but the entire Lu family would also be destroyed. His voice trembled, "You are spewing blood, the Lu family has already drawn a line with Lu Mingyue." ”

"Really? Maybe I misunderstood. ”

Zhang Xuan glanced at Lu Qingyuan next to him at this time, and his tone softened slightly. He didn't mention Lu Mingyue anymore, but his tone was still cold.

"However, I still have to remind the second head of the Lu family, things can't be done too much, I am willing to sit in this corner of cats and dogs for the sake of Brother Qingyuan's face. I don't care about the hospitality of the Lu family, if the second head of the Lu family really asks me to get out like this white prince, then don't blame me Zhang Xuan for not knowing how to be a guest. ”

Although Zhang Xuan didn't mention Lu Mingyue's matter, his attitude was still very tough, and his eyes fell fiercely on Bai Xinyang's face, "Didn't you say that I was wild in the Lu family?" I tell you, I won't touch a single hair of you in the Lu family, but as long as you dare to step out of the Lu family, I will cut off your dog's head!" ”

Bai Xinyang was so frightened by his fierce gaze that he trembled, and his legs went limp. fainted again, and Cui Wenxiang next to him had already heard a clue, and secretly wondered in his heart, "Could it be that Guo Xuan's assassination is related to the Lu family?" ’

Cui Wenxiang was very scheming, so he deliberately shouted: "Zhang Xuan, you don't want to talk nonsense, Lu Mingyue is clearly a bandit, what does he have to do with the Lu family, and what does he have to do with Guo Dudu?" ”

Zhang Xuan laughed and said to Lu Yi: "The second head of the Lu family." You get the idea now! Who's stirring up the trouble? Who doesn't know how to be hospitable? ”

Lu Yi secretly scolded Cui Wenxiang for being despicable in his heart, but what should he do now? It's not okay to get rid of Zhang Xuan, but you can't punish him, and you can't explain to the Bai family. You must know that Bai Xinyang's father is in the East Courtyard.

Just when Lu Yi was in a dilemma, a family member rushed over, so nervous that his voice changed, "The second head of the family is going quickly, His Majesty the Emperor is here!" ”

This sentence caused everyone to be in an uproar, and the Holy Lord actually came to the Lu Mansion in person. Lu Yi was even more excited, he couldn't care about Zhang Xuan anymore, turned around and ran towards the atrium, and instructed the Lu family disciples as he ran, "Quickly clean up this place and invite the guests to take a seat!" ”

The arrival of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty in the Lu Mansion has caused a sensation in the Lu Mansion, the singing and dancing performances have stopped, all the maids and dancing girls have retreated, and the dignitaries and dignitaries have left their seats and stood on both sides of the atrium waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.

The old master Lu Shen was even more supported by his eldest son Lu Zhuo, waiting tremblingly at the foot of the steps, he was also very excited in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor actually came to congratulate him on his birthday, which will be the most colorful stroke of the Lu family.

Emperor Yang Guang wanted to come to the Lu Mansion, but the eunuch came to inform the Lu Mansion first, so that the Lu Mansion was ready to take over, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, a team of guards walked into the Lu Mansion quickly, standing in line on both sides of the atrium.

Hundreds of Qianniu guards also poured into the atrium, they had to clear the courtyard in advance, all those who were not qualified to rush to the east and west courtyards, and those who remained in the atrium had to be confirmed one by one to ensure the absolute safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

After waiting for a long time, everyone was sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to move, and when it was difficult, a Lu disciple ran in and shouted, "It's here!" Here it comes! ”

Everyone was in good spirits, and they straightened their waists, only to hear a sound of footsteps, and a guard walked quickly to the door of the atrium and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”

I saw a large group of guards and eunuchs surrounding today, and the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang walked into the atrium, followed by his eldest grandson Yang Qi, and all the ministers and dignitaries bowed down together, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang specially wore civilian clothes, wore a gauze hat, and wore a tulle soft robe, dressed no different from ordinary people, he waved his hand and smiled: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, I am also attending the birthday of the old master of Lu today, and like everyone, I am a guest of the Lu Mansion, so feel free." ”

Lu Shen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Old Minister Lu Shen pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Yang Guang helped him up, and said with a smile: "Elder Lu Ge is today's birthday star, how can you kneel down for me, please get up quickly!" ”

Lu Shen was excited, although everyone knew that the emperor came to congratulate him on his birthday just to make a gesture, in order to appease the famous family in Hebei, but he chose the Lu family, which really made Lu Shen feel honored.

Lu Shen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat!" ”

Yang Guang was not polite, and walked directly to the lobby, the seat for the Son of Heaven had already been prepared, and the Lu family moved out a wide ivory couch, placed it in the center, and placed a small rosewood table, on which were placed golden cups and jade cups, and various famous kiln porcelain.

This was originally the seat where the birthday star Lu Shen sits, but Lu Shen's seat has been moved to the side of the seat, although Lu Shen is the birthday star, but the etiquette of respect and humility must not be observed, Yang Guang sat down, and let the eldest grandson Yang Qi sit next to him, he smiled: "Let's continue!" ”

The ministers continued to return to their seats, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of dancing girls danced again, but the emperor was present, and everyone had no laughter just now, they were all quiet, not daring to eat or drink, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

Yang Guang was talking to Lu Shen, and soon found out about this embarrassment, he was slightly unhappy in his heart, didn't he obviously want to leave quickly?

Although the so-called emperor came to the minister's palace as a guest just for show, and sat down for a while and went back, he did not behave so obviously, waiting for himself to leave.

At this time, Yang Qi whispered a few words to his grandfather, Yang Guang nodded, and coughed lightly, indicating that he had something to say.

Lu Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand to the dancing girls, hurried down to them, the music stopped, and the hall became silent, Yang Guang said slowly: "I decided to attack Goguryeo, the whole country mobilized, the local government and wealthy families have money to contribute, and they have the power to contribute, but there are some loyal ministers of the Great Sui who use another way to protect the interests of my Great Sui, although they are unknown, but I still heard about something two days ago, which made me deeply moved." ”

Yang Guang said to Lu Zhuo: "There should be a guest in your house, named Zhang Xuan, can you invite him to see me." (To be continued.) )
