Chapter Seventy-Three: The Breeze Comes and Jiang Bin Goes
In the officialdom, the news has always been the most well-informed, and Guo Xun already knew about the matter of the Jiang family's orphans before Lu Bing went to collect people. He hated this so much that his teeth itched, but he didn't expect Lu Bing to really use the saint to pressure him, of course, he didn't know the reason, and he couldn't think of the fires and murders in the palace that the emperor had forbidden to be passed on and recorded, and Jiang Bin's family in his house had a great connection. Guo Xun was secretly ruthless, Lu Bing, you actually went against me for a few slaves, you are waiting to turn around and have you good-looking.
Although Guo Xun inherited the title of his ancestors, he also re-ascended to the center of the power stage through the great ceremony, and Guo Xun, who held the power and received the emperor's grace, tasted the sweetness, and naturally obeyed the words of the saint, and understood that obeying the holy will was the only way out to protect the powerful forever.
So when the holy decree arrived, he happily handed over the person, without the slightest unpleasant complaint, and treated each other kindly, sending tea and water to the reward of some gift money, although Lu Bing was present to supervise and issue the decree of the internal and external officials. is even more like a brother to Lu Bing, looking like a close friend and brother, I don't know how to do it, I think it was Lu Bing's small belly chicken intestines that sued the royal court.
Although he handed over the whole beard and tail to Lu Bing, it was just a group of people with bruises all over his body, except for his face, he could see different degrees of scars on his exposed arms and hands, and his eyes were all very loose, like a walking corpse.
Lu Bing could see that Guo Xun, the villain, had abused them a lot at the last moment, but Guo Xun did not hit them in the face, which made it difficult for ordinary people to notice the scars hidden under their clothes. looked at Guo Xun's obscene face. and the way he moved his hands and feet to the daughter of the Jiang family when others were not paying attention, if it weren't for Lu Bing still retaining a trace of sanity, he would have stepped forward to split him.
Lu Bing swallowed his anger. did not continue to expand the matter, and then the Jiang family and the others waited back to Lu Mansion. When Lu Bing walked to the door, he saw a person coming in a hurry, wearing a cloak with a hat, and walking forward with a hat, his whole face hidden in the cloak. Lu Bing couldn't help but be suspicious, lest someone who was unfavorable to him come to assassinate him. Secretly hooked the stirrup, ready to leap or gallop at any moment, eyes fixed on the man. After careful observation, he found that this person's figure was somewhat familiar, and for a while Lu Bing recognized it, and shouted happily: "Qingfeng." What are you doing. It scared me a lot, and I was pretending to be a ghost. ”
The man took off his cloak, it was Wudang Duan Qingfeng. A black hair is scattered down, tied with a hosta, natural and smooth, bright eyes and bright teeth, red lips and jade face, exceptionally refreshing and good-looking. If it weren't for the pair of sword eyebrows, they were extraordinarily heroic. There are really people who think of him as a girl. It's just that Duan Qingfeng is not a mother, so Lu Bing can make friends with him. Otherwise, even if it is a friend of life and death, it will not be able to talk to the table. The sissy is what Lu Bing can't stand the most, once he shudders when he sees goosebumps all over his body, it is really difficult to control, which is one of Lu Bing's psychological obstacles.
Duan Qingfeng took off his cloak and said with a smile: "You can recognize this, I really convinced you." However, if I can scare the famous killing god Lu Bing, I can be regarded as worthwhile. Well, I heard you're getting better. ”
"It's much better, come with me into the house for a while." Lu Bing said, Duan Qingfeng looked at the group of people behind Lu Bing and said, "This is"
"I'll tell you about this later." Lu Bing pulled Duan Qingfeng and walked towards the house.
Although the Lu Mansion is not a powerful family, it is also an official eunuch mansion after all, and there are still two empty rooms and empty courtyards, and the people who were released this time are only Jiang Bin's family, and the number of people is not too large, so there is no problem in accommodating them. Lu Bing arranged for his subordinates to settle the Jiang family, and then came to the study in the back hall with Duan Qingfeng.
The two walked to the door of the study with a smile, and before they entered the door, Duan Qingfeng suddenly stopped, his face sank, his body tensed, and he gently pushed the sword off the sheath with his thumb, and stopped Lu Bing quietly, and made a very strange look, as if saying that there was someone in the house. Lu Bing came to his senses, patted Duan Qingfeng with a smile and said, "Qingfeng don't worry, it's your own people in the house." ”
"Who, martial arts are not low." Duan Qingfeng squinted his eyes and said.
Lu Bing did not deceive Duan Qingfeng and replied: "It's Jiang Bin." ”
"You really cooperated with him, so the previous rumors on the rivers and lakes have not wronged you." Although Duan Qingfeng said this, he also relaxed his body and took his hand off the hilt of the sword, really believing in Lu Bing's judgment. Lu Bing is good or evil, Duan Qingfeng is hard to say, where are the heinous evil people in these years, and there are also no perfect good people, good and evil sometimes complement each other. But speaking of Lu Bing's righteousness, Duan Qingfeng can vouch for it with his life, so if it was really Jiang Bin who killed Zhu Houzhao, Lu Bing would never cooperate with him, let alone leave him alive, and would have killed him to avenge Zhu Houzhao.
Sure enough, Lu Bing explained: "It's a long story, in short, we are mutually beneficial, some people say that Jiang Bin killed the first emperor Zhu Houzhao, according to my inference, this is not the case, but there is no basis for words, if you don't believe it, you should ask him yourself." Lu Bing said and stretched out his hand to open the door, Jiang Bin sat on a chair and looked at a chess game in the room, and saw Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng coming in and hurriedly hugged their fists: "I heard the footsteps of two masters outside the door just now, if it weren't for you Lu Wenfu here, I'm really afraid that the imperial court will send me to arrest me." Brother Wenfu, this is Duan Shaoxia of Wudang, right? ”
"Oh, you still know me, I'm well informed." Duan Qingfeng laughed, there was no other unhappiness between the words, just like a conversation between old friends.
Jiang Bin said with a smile: "It's just that I have been in charge of Jinyi Wei for a while before, Jinyi Wei is the eyes and ears of the world, and it is natural to know the name of the Duan brothers of the Dao Dao, and I also know that Dao You are a guard by the side of the first emperor, and you are still the only disciple of Danyangzi, a treasure of Wudang." Having said that, back then, I was also a person who wanted to rebel, and if I wanted the Mu Dynasty to usurp the throne, I had to understand the enemy, and Brother Duan was by the side of the emperor, such a conspicuous position, how could I not understand it too. Although we have never officially done anything together, I have dealt with both Chao Shu and the Jiang brothers, and I have also met Brother Duan in front of the two armies in Qingjiang and Pubian. Maybe Duan Shaoxia, you didn't see me at the time. ”
Duan Qingfeng nodded, and didn't say anything more, in fact, he also saw Jiang Bin that time. He and his group waited for Zhu Houzhao to walk before the armies of Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin, how could they forget such a thrilling and tense scene.
Lu Bing asked: "Jiang Bin, Qingfeng is not an outsider, so don't talk about those useless things." What do you want to do next, anyway, I'm going to resign, you can pick up the child and take it away, you don't care what the emperor said to me that day. I know that you were there when I entered the temple that day. Zhu Houxi doesn't know where you are, but I know Lu Dao. Even if you pick up the child, as for the emperor, what does he like? I think now he will be condemned for my departure, and he will remember my goodness, so he won't touch me for a while. ”
"No, don't lead you to injustice because of my business. I didn't keep my promises. Instead, Yang Dengyun ran out by himself. I am not anxious about the past Dengyun grievances, I smiled at the grudges, and I had a few drinks a few days ago, I am already grateful, how can I let you be responsible for me again. In case it affects you, Jiang is afraid that he will not be able to feel at ease even if he dies. Jiang Bin hugged his fists and said with deep meaning.
Lu Bing suddenly laughed and said, "Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin, do you think I'm stupid when you say this, or do you want to show that you're stupid?" Although you and I were originally ruthless and righteous friends. You don't know each other well enough, but you can be in a high position. And abandon your family at a critical juncture, do you still have to tell me that you are a fool, naturally not, and you are not such an emotional person, otherwise those things would not have happened before. Jiang Bin, let me tell you what you think, since you have threatened the emperor now, you will definitely be hunted down, and it is impossible to restore the former throne, and you yourself know this very well, so when you negotiated the conditions with the emperor, you didn't mention it at all. It is a blessing that you can leave a small life in the future on the run, and taking your family with you is nothing more than a burden all the time. ”
Seeing that Jiang Bin still wanted to explain something, Lu Bing continued: "You listen to me first, since I brought your family back, the surroundings of my mansion have been closely monitored. Your sons are not bad, although I don't know where the road is now, but it's okay to run away with you, but if you want to drag your family, I'm afraid it won't work. So you fled with your son and subordinates, leaving your wife and son in my house, which can be regarded as a double insurance, in case either party is caught by mistake, it will not make your Jiang family break off. Leaving a seed for your Jiang family is also leaving a way for yourself, which is your ultimate goal. Jiang Bin, am I right? ”
Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, learning the tone that Lu Bing had just called him and said: "Wenfu, Wenfu, if you weren't born with a bullish temper, how could you end up like this, how could your city and wisdom not control your character, it's really strange, strange." Hehe, don't tell lies in front of real people, what you guessed just now is not bad at all, that's exactly what I thought, and let Jiang Ran be your righteous son, you can't treat him badly with your character, which is also for his good. But you say that I am a father, and I don't think about the family affection between father and son at all, then you have wronged me. ”
Lu Bing Ha said with a smile: "I wronged you, why didn't I wronged you." By the way, you just talked about my old Yue's grudge with a smile, I want to ask, what happened before. My father-in-law said that now you are both fugitives, so there is no conflict in my family, and it is better to laugh at the destiny of heaven. He will be forbearing, but when you first came to the house, my father-in-law found you, after all, he is a good skill, and every time he looks at you, he has a feeling of wanting to kill you, what is it for? What is the unsolvable hatred that is like this? ”
Jiang Bin replied: "I have to ask your father-in-law about this, in case he doesn't want you to know the truth, I just say this, won't it be a chewing tongue." Besides, everyone stands from different angles, and the development and results of the things they see are different, so the description is quite biased, in case my version makes you feel bad about your father-in-law, wouldn't it be self-inflicted, don't forget that my son is in your hands. You are like Guo Xun again, abusing my son, hey, then who will I talk to. ”
Lu Bing nodded: "In this case, I want to thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Jiang Bin replied, and both of them let out a slightly cold laugh.
The laughter gradually fell, Lu Bing pondered for a while and said: "But you also said it just now, I will be relieved, Guo Xun thought to your family that you didn't know the way, but now that you know the way, I want to remind you to let go of hatred." Don't laugh, listen to me, in short, I mean don't seek revenge on Guo Xun. ”
"I understand, when I was in power, I didn't fix this kid, and it was normal for him to take revenge, and I still have this bit of sanity. Besides, if I take revenge on him, then you will be miserable in the future, and this will not be another indirect harm to my own son? Everything is child-oriented, otherwise you keep saying that I am cold-blooded, and I can't afford it. Lu Wenfu is a righteous person, and Wo Jiangbin is actually not bad, but he just hasn't met the right person. In short, I don't thank you for my great kindness, Jiang Ran, I will ask you. Jiang Bin hugged his fists and bowed deeply and said, then felt that this gift was not big enough, and his body was shocked, so he knelt down with his robe.
Lu Bing did not stop him, this is the grace of entrusting his wife and children, and Lu Bing can afford this worship. Jiang Bin kowtowed, stood up and said, "Lu Bing, I will always remember your favor, and I know that there must be two things in your heart." One of them should be about the first emperor, I, Jiang Bin, swear to the sky, Emperor Wuzong was not killed by my Jiang Bin, I thought about killing him, but I didn't implement it, I thought about it over the years, and felt that whether it was Zhang Yonggu Dayong and others, or Yang Tinghe and other courtiers, it was unlikely that he would be poisoned. As for why I didn't let my subordinates fight with the emperor with real moves, I believe that you will understand that you have been an official for a long time now, first, you will understand that you are afraid that the sword will damage the emperor without eyes, and when the time comes, it will not be a conspiracy. ”
Lu Bing said: "I believe you, the sky net is magnificent but not leaky, you should understand that there is no impermeable wall in this world, if you really have a ghost in your heart, you will not go to such great lengths to rescue your son and put it next to me, then wouldn't you throw yourself into the net and give me a hostage, give people a handle, with your intelligence, you will definitely not do this." ”
Jiang Bin said: "Then Jiang Mou thanked me again, trust is the rarest, I didn't expect that after I Jiang Bin mixed up to the most, in addition to my family, there is only you Lu Bing who can trust me in the world, ha Okay, the second thing is how many secrets I still have, spy on killers and secret passages, right? ”
Lu Bing nodded, and Jiang Bin said: "This is the last chance of life for me to save my life, I can't give it to you, but I think that when I am not long, I will tell you everything, you have to live past me." ”
"Long live understanding, long live understanding. You can rest assured, I am young and strong, I must live longer than you, a person who has been buried in half of the loess, hehe, you are now a person who has been removed from the world, and your real body has already been cut in Xichai, and you are still alive with me. Lu Bing said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, before you leave, give your son a name, and then call him over to see you, and finally have to recognize him." Do you want to see it? ”
Jiang Bin sighed and shook his head, and after a long time he made up his mind: "Let's meet, I don't know when we will see each other next time, whether it is life or death, whether it is yin and yang are separated, I can't say." (To be continued......)
