Zhu Houxi walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall under the escort of the guards, and outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, there was an old monk standing close at hand, and there were only the corpses of two guards beside him. The corpse had multiple swords in its body instead of a single sword to seal its throat, unlike the palace guards who died before, they were Wen Dou's desperate killings with their own experience and will, and after the killing, they were killed by losing their strength, and the death was particularly heroic. Wen Dou was uninhibited all his life, challenging the masters of the world, and when he was dying, he also made such a big event, and he died in battle, he was worthy of this life, throughout Wen Dou's life, it was not in vain that he was in this fighting word in his legal name. The living is vigorous, and the dead are free and easy.

Zhu Houxi saw that the beard of the long-bearded old monk had been dyed red, and he was standing like this, his body was full of bullet holes and arrows, and his body was so dense that he had no skin. And the reason why the whole body was able to stand was because it was pierced by spears stabbed from all directions, and the body was supported by more than a dozen spears.

Zhu Houxi knew in his heart that this person was a demon monk who had been in retreat for many years in Shaolin Temple, and one of the five great grandmasters, Wendou Monk. According to his ability, he may be under the dense thirteen white feathers, but the white feathers captured that day were poisoned, and the masters were all there. Now many people went to protect the Queen Mother and the Empress, and Zhu Houxi didn't expect the problem to be so tricky, plus Chen Hong went out to do errands and took away many masters, and those who were working outside the palace were difficult to rush back, so there was the previous dilemma.

Zhu Houxi snorted coldly at Wen Dou's dead corpse and brushed his sleeves away.

—————————————————————————————————————

Half a month later, in Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, Lu Bing's family was eating. At this time, Lu Bing didn't know about the tragic incident of Wen Dou and Cui Ying breaking into the capital to assassinate Zhu Houxi. And Wei He hasn't reported it yet, because the capital is already in chaos, and rashly sending a letter may expose his whereabouts. At this time, the most important thing to do is to counterattack and occupy the lost intelligence position, and report it after the investigation is clear. At this time, the military report from outside came, Lu Bing looked at it a few times and laughed, and said, "Xiaorui, come and see." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Bing in surprise and then looked at Xiaorui, Mrs. Qi's Xiaorui has always eaten fasting and recited Buddha, either accompanied by the old woman Lu or accompanied the old lady Qi, and did not pay attention to family affairs at all. Why is there news today, not for the eldest lady Meng Xueqing, but for Xiaorui to see?

Speaking of Mrs. Qi, I have to say a few more words, after Qi Jingtong was transferred back to Shandong to serve as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, he wanted to take Mrs. Qi away many times. Old Madam Qi is not good at staying at the Lu family. Besides, the Qi family pays more attention to temperament, and there was a slight conflict with the eldest lady Meng Xueqing because of Qi Shuhai's affairs, so Qi Jingtong didn't have too much trouble picking up people this time.

Old Madam Qi is used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, if she goes back, it is estimated that even the money of these maids will not be enough to pay if she only relies on Qi Jingtong's money. You must know that the maid who serves Mrs. Qi is a stunning beauty, who can speak, laugh, and be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's not something that ordinary people can drive. Therefore, when Mrs. Qi left, Lu Bing also asked again and again, and said that Qi Jingtong would break off the friendship if he didn't obey, so he brought all the maids to Qi's mansion. Although it is in the Qi Mansion, all the expenses are paid by Lu Bing, of course, on weekdays, these maids say that they buy things for the old lady, but in fact, Lu Bing is spending money, and everyone knows this.

The conditions of Qifu are naturally not as good as those of Lufu, but they are by no means bad. It was built by Lu Binghua with a lot of money. The two courtyards are not far apart, and it is said that the Lu Mansion is separated and becomes the Qi Mansion. Old Madam Qi has been in the Lu family for many years and is not an outsider. Therefore, on weekdays, the two courtyards live here for a few days and there for a few days, all by pleasure.

No, today, Mrs. Qi stayed in Lu Mansion and had dinner with her family. Xiao Rui was overjoyed after reading this military report, showing rare excitement, and Mrs. Qi asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”

"It's Yi'er, old lady, about Yi'er." Xiaorui was a little carried away with joy, so she couldn't speak.

Although Xiaorui is deep and simple, she is deeply loved by the elders, and the two old ladies in the family love Lu Yi very much, at this time, when she heard that Lu Yi must have made a meritorious service outside, she was also very happy, and she didn't believe it and let Lu Bing say what was going on.

Lu Bing said: "Before Yi'er went out, Xue Qing only told him the things to pay attention to and some southern forces that we must rein. In fact, the purpose of this trip is not to unite these forces to form an important force, of course, it would be best if it could, but after all, Yi'er is young and the Lu family is facing the current situation, which is quite inconvenient, so I don't have high hopes and just ask him to be safe. The importance of Lu Yi's trip lies in whether he is present or not, he is now in the south, and he tells those forces of my Lu family in the south not to panic that someone in the Lu family is in charge, and if he does not appear, he wants to hide his whereabouts to prevent the persecution of the eunuch forces. At the same time, he told those who were hidden to lie dormant and not to act rashly. ”

Lu Bing talked eloquently, and did not shy away from Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi and Qi Jingtong's personalities are very similar, loyal to the court but also very righteous, Lu Bing asked him to oppose the court for my use, so naturally he refused, but it was impossible for him to report the news for violating righteousness. Therefore, as long as Lu Bing does not rebel openly, it is estimated that he will not become an enemy with Qi Jingtong in this life.

Mrs. Qi was tight-lipped, although she felt that Lu Bing was a little disobedient and powerful, but she was also tight-lipped, and it was estimated that even her son Qi Jingtong would not tell her, and it was for these reasons that Lu Bing dared to say it so openly.

Lu Bing said again: "The function of Jinyiwei in Beijing has been hollowed out by Dongchang, and many of his brothers have been persecuted and have absconded, and Nanjing is far away and the imperial court is not as good as Beijing. Yi'er took advantage of this, found someone to privately engrave my token, and transferred some of our brothers to work below, and the other part also went to the real power department, unless Dongchang sent a large army to encircle and suppress, otherwise it is difficult to shake the strength of Dongchang in Nanjing. The soldiers of Ying Tianfu are controlled by the Nanjing Military Department, and the emperor can only take action when he gives a public order, and once he gives a public order, it is equivalent to announcing that the world is an enemy of me. It's only been a few years, I was first named the general of the Dragon Shadow, and now I am against the emperor, this is quite acceptable to talk about a small scale in private, if you tell the world, wouldn't it be a self-contradiction, Zhu Houxi, this person has a better face than me, and he will definitely not do this. ”

"Yi'er not only did this, but also called on our forces in the rivers and lakes to be small and broad, and not to touch those people who have huge forces, such as Taihu Lake Water Village, but to gather the surrounding forces belonging to the Lu family. The small streams converge to form a lake, and the lakes converge to form the sea, and Lu Yi has more than 30 small powers, and these forces are at the mercy of Yi'er's orders, forming a momentum that everyone expects to return. It not only deterred the imperial court, so that they had to divert their attention to Shandong, but also gave it to those who were hesitant to see, so that they knew that my Lu family was powerful and did not dare to betray the Lu family. For this kind of wall grass, it is much better to be strong than weak, and it does not make sense to talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. If he hadn't taken the initiative to contact the spies in the south, few people would have been able to find him, and his whereabouts would have been even more ethereal. Lu Bing said proudly.

Meng Xueqing nodded and said: "That's true, it's already very human for Yi'er to be able to do this at this half an age, and the future after this experience is limitless." ”

Lu Bing smiled: "Then why don't you praise me and say that the tiger father has no dogs, haha." ”

"Father, I also want to help my brother and serve our Lu family together." Lu Xun rushed out and hugged his fists and said, Xia Dade and Lu Yi praised Lu Yi after rushing out of the capital all the way, which made Lu Xun feel a little jealous, because on weekdays, Uncle Xia Dade hurts himself the most, and he almost treats him as his own. But Lu Xun is also happy for his brother, the two grew up together, Lu Yi took good care of Lu Xun who was younger than himself, and as he grew older, the all-round Lu Yi became Lu Xun's idol.

Lu Bing said with a smile: "Okay, good, good, Xun'er has also grown up and become a man who stands on top of the sky, it seems that you Ji Bo has taught well in the past few years." ”

"Thank you for your father's compliment." Lu Xun was very happy, it was not easy for Lu Bing to praise him so sincerely, the praise on weekdays was mostly encouragement, and it was never as real as it is now. Although Lu Xun is not as smart as Lu Yi, he is never stupid, and the halal words that can be distinguished are still false.

Ji Lianhong traveled to find a place suitable for the development of the Lu family, but Lu Xun did not fall into martial arts, and he still practiced hard every day. But Professor Ji Lianhong's level is really poor, and his martial arts are by no means something that ordinary people can practice, unlike Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng, they all have the foundation of training from a low level, but they are all taught by heaven, so there are only a few who can teach Lu Xun.

However, in the past few days, taking advantage of Ji Lianhong's absence, Duan Qingfeng has also been busy teaching Lu Xun a few sentences, which has benefited Lu Xun a lot, and everyone knows about this matter, otherwise Ji Lianhong will definitely be anxious if he knows it after he comes back.

Lu Xun thought that Lu Bing would let him go to the south to find Lu Yi, but after hearing Lu Bing's words, he changed his mind and said: "But Xun'er, you are too young, and if you can't help your brother like this, you may cause him trouble." Lu Bing saw that Lu Xun looked lost, so naturally he would not dampen the child's enthusiasm, so he said again: "Don't be discouraged, if you are older, your father will let you go out to practice." In this way, your brother is good at martial arts and strategy, you can learn some skills in war, go to your Uncle Xu Yang tomorrow, let him give you a small flag to do, learn more in the army, guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't be arrogant, otherwise my father will punish you if he hears about it. Study hard, and in the future, the Lu family's thousands of troops may have to be led by you. ”

"Thank you, father." Lu Xun really smiled again, everyone was happy, and Meng Xueqing was also relieved. (To be continued......)
