Seeing Shi Man's repeated insistence, Ling Xiao fell into silence, and in the current situation, no matter how much she explained, it was useless. After a long time, she came back to her senses from her contemplation, calmly raised her eyes and looked at Shi Man, and her faint voice was very easy-going: "This matter should be explained to the Peach Palace Lord in person, and when my injuries heal, I will personally go to Yiyue Palace." ”

"Miss Shi came from afar, so she stayed in the house for a few more days, and by the way, let the bird take you around Huizhou City. I know that there are many things in Yiyue Palace, and Miss Shi doesn't have to spend all her energy on me, she should assist the Peach Palace Lord to deal with business. Ling Xiao's implication was to let Shi Man return to Yiyue Palace as soon as possible, and not to miss the right thing in order to wait for her to accompany her. After all, Shi Man still needs to help Taozhi deal with many matters in Yiyue Palace, and if he stays in the Lu Mansion, he will have nothing to do, and he will waste time.

Shi Man inadvertently fluttered her fine eyelashes slightly, thought to herself for a moment, and finally nodded very simply, and said: "According to what the girl said, I don't force the girl to go back with me, as long as the girl agrees to go back to Yiyue Palace." During this time, in order to make the girl have no psychological burden and recuperate with peace of mind, I will not bother much, but should go back to the palace first. ”

In the end, Shi Man only stayed in Lu Mansion for one night, and as soon as dawn arrived on the second day, she came to Ling Xiao's courtyard, broke Ling Xiao's clear dream, said goodbye to her, and then embarked on the return journey. There were many trivial things in Yiyue Palace during this time, and this time he returned in a hurry, not only to listen to Ling Xiao's opinion, but also to be driven by the situation.

Days passed in the blink of an eye, and another evening came, and the clouds stained the sky red, and it was gorgeous. As the bazaar disperses, the bright afterglow of the slanting sun pours over the wide, slightly deserted streets, and three figures on horses come from the corner of the street, passing through the pedestrians. In the end, the sound of the horse's hooves disappeared in front of the Lu Mansion Gate.

The three of them dismounted one after another, and the family guarding the gate saw the familiar figure at a glance, and immediately ran down the steps, greeting him with a happy face: "Steward Lu, you are finally back." Who are these two? ”

"These two are friends I met on the road. By the way, what about my father and the lord of the house? Lu Ci easily threw the reins in his hand to the family, and turned to make a gesture of invitation to the two people around him: "Young Master Yan, Young Master Li, please inside." ”

Zhong Limu and Yan Ling Yan smiled lightly and bowed slightly, and also handed over the reins in their hands to the hands of the family: "It's hard work." ”

"The lord of the mansion, he is in the mansion. As for Lu Bo, he went out of the city yesterday and has not yet returned. Jia Ding briefly replied to Lu Ci's words, and then led the horse to the back door of the Lu Mansion.

The two of them entered the mansion with Lu Ci, and the golden afterglow stretched the shadows of the three of them, imprinted on the glittering marble road, and the grass and trees on both sides were lush. didn't go far, Yan Linghan's footsteps paused slightly, stopped, two doubts flashed in his clear and translucent eyes, he turned his head slightly and looked around, and couldn't help but whisper: "Where did the sound of the piano come from?" It's so wonderful. ”

The sound of the piano came from afar, clear and tactful, a little ethereal, which moved Yan Linghan, a person who is obsessed with music. It's just that he seems to have never heard this song, which arouses a string in his heart even more.

"Listening to the sound of this piano is coming from the mansion master's study, maybe the mansion master is playing, our mansion master is quite fond of music." Lu Ci walked leisurely, and when he heard Yan Linglast ask, he couldn't help but explain.

Zhong Limu's expression showed a hint of excitement: "Oh? Is it? My brother has a soft spot for music, so he's met like-minded people. ”

"That's true, at this moment, I am a little eager to get acquainted with this mansion master of Engong." With an easy-going smile, Yan Lingzhen stepped forward and followed Lu Ci to continue to move forward.

The three of them climbed the stairs and stepped into the corridor, Lu Ci stretched out his hand and pointed to the road ahead, and said: "Although our lord is cold, he is easy-going and friendly to others, I think you will be able to become friends." ”

Walking along the corridor, they happened to meet two family members on the way, so Lu Ci asked them to go to the study to inform Lu Jingxing, and he took the two of them to the hall.

The family Ding trotted all the way to the outside of Lu Jingxing's study, and the door was open, so he walked in generously, stood in front of the case, and arched his body to the Qingyi figure of Fuqin under the window: "Mansion master, Steward Lu picked up two people from outside again, looking at the clothes and his own charm, it is very extraordinary." Steward Lu ordered his subordinates to ask you to go to the living room. ”

That family Ding directly used the word "pick-up" to describe Lu Ci, which shows that he has become accustomed to Lu Ci's behavior. The time that Jia Ding remembers most clearly is that two years ago, Lu Bo ordered Lu Ci to go out of the city to do some business, but Lu Ci brought back a robber who was arrested everywhere by the government, which caused Lu Fu a lot of trouble. Of course, the identity of that person was only known later. At that time, Lu Jingxing wandered away, but Lu Ci was cleaned up by Lu Bo that time, and he still doesn't have a long memory.

The sound of the piano slowly rested at Lu Jingxing's fingertips, and he raised his eyes to look at Jiading: "Lu Ci is back?" Are you hurt? ”

"No, don't worry, the lord of the mansion is full of spirits." Jia Ding shook his head, bowed again, and left first.

Hearing that Lu Ci was unharmed, Lu Jingxing was relieved. The wide sleeves slowly brushed over the strings, and he glanced at the person who had disappeared in the doorway, then calmly got up and left the window, and after a brief tidying up, walked out of the study.

When Lu Jingxing came to the hall, the three people inside were talking happily, and he walked in naturally with a calm face.

Lu Ci saw the figure at the door with a faint sunset afterglow coming slowly, and immediately got up to greet him: "Mansion master." ”

"Well, it's been a long delay to come back, but what happened on the way?" Lu Jingxing nodded, before he had time to pay attention to the two guests, he first asked the reason for Lu Ci's late return, for fear that he would encounter an accident on the road, after all, the news of Lu Ci's return to the house had been spread for a long time, but he only returned today.

Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast also got up at this time, and Lu Ci pointed to the two of them and explained to Lu Jingxing: "Mansion master, I met these two sons on the way back, and the two sons were besieged and killed by gangsters at that time. ”

"Along the way, I often heard Engong mention his son, and when I saw it at this time, it was really extraordinary. I was courteous in this room. With a kind smile on his face, Zhong Limu and Yan Lingyan stretched out their sleeves and bowed together.

At the end, Yan Linglast couldn't help but open his clear eyes and take a slight look at the cold and handsome figure in front of him. It's really like seeing a real person when you hear the sound of the piano, and the person matches the sound of the piano. It's just that he was still a little surprised in his heart, he never thought that this person would be so young, not only is he already the lord of a mansion, but also has a reputation in the rivers and lakes.

Along the way, they heard a lot of remarks about Lu Jingxing, of course, this was not only mentioned by Lu Ci, at first Yan Linglast thought that the lord of Lu Mansion was an older man. But now that I see it, this person is not as old as him.

The three of them stood opposite each other, Lu Jingxing arched his hand as a return gift, and he was very easy-going in his coldness: "In Xia Lu Jingxing, the two sons don't have to be polite. ”

Lowering his hand, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him lightly, and the first thing he noticed was the clear eyes on Yanling Last's beautiful face, these eyes did not contain any impurities, and others seemed to be able to see this person's clear heart at a glance.

"Li Gongzi, Yan Gongzi, please take a seat." The three of them made a brief introduction, and then Lu Jingxing spread out his hand to make a gesture of please, and walked towards the main seat.

The two of them lifted their clothes one after another and sat down, Zhong Limu glanced at Lu Ci, his delicate and slightly sickly face showed a grateful expression, smiled kindly, and said to the main seat: "This time, the two of us were able to escape from danger in the encirclement and suppression, all thanks to the great help of this benevolent father, and we are grateful for the great kindness of the Lu Mansion." ”

"Childe is serious, it's just a trivial matter." Lu Jingxing's expression was calm, his voice was calm, and then he looked at Lu Ci, "Do you know who did it?" ”

Since the heavy blow to Feitou Cliff, the rivers and lakes have basically returned to calm, and it stands to reason that there should be no sect that dares to act so blatantly. Moreover, the impact of this war on each sect is not small, and they are all busy dealing with the internal affairs of their respective sects, recuperating, and should have no time to do evil outside.

Therefore, Lu Jingxing had some doubts in his heart, worried that the power of Feitou Cliff was still not to be underestimated, and now it was making a comeback. However, there is also another possibility that the assassin was the enemy of the two men.

"The assassination took place on the border of Guilin County, and the people were unidentified and all of them were dead. But I'm sure it's not the people who fly through the cliffs. At that time, the two sons were seriously injured and unconscious, and they were in danger, so I had to take them on my own initiative to change their original itinerary, so I came back a little later. Lu Ci said, picked up a green pear and took a bite.

A strange look flashed on Lu Jingxing's face, and he couldn't help but sound the words of the family teasing Lu Ci, hearing Lu Ci say this, it was really picked up, not voluntarily. However, even if Lu Jingxing encounters this kind of thing himself, I am afraid that he will make the same move as Lu Ci.

Lu Ci took a bite of the pear, seemed to think of something again, and looked at Lu Jingxing again: "Oh, by the way, the lord of the mansion, it seems that the court of the Nanzhuan Kingdom is going to send troops to attack Feitou Cliff on a large scale, and the notices have been issued." The incident near the sinkhole has been learned by the imperial court, and the monarch of Nanzhuan is furious, and the culprit Kong Bozhi has finally been found out. ”

Lu Jingxing bowed his head, thought for a while, and said lightly: "On the bright side, this is a good thing, if you don't get rid of the cliff for a day, the rivers and lakes will be difficult to be peaceful." However, I'm afraid that it's not just for Feiche Cliff, there are many sects involved this time, and presumably some other sects in the Nanzhuan Kingdom will also be implicated, and attacking Feiche Cliff is just the beginning, just a wake-up call. ”

"It's not a secret, this time the two of us are going to Feitou Cliff, but there was such an accident before entering Guilin County, and now the injury has not healed, so we have to delay." When Zhong Limu heard the flying cliff, his expression immediately changed, his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, and his five fingers inadvertently clenched into fists.
