Chapter 53 - Jincheng Lu Family (I)

The southern autumn mood in late autumn is stronger than that of Xuancheng, the capital of Qi in the north, and the leaves in the late autumn season gradually begin to wither down one by one, and the golden leaves are gathered on the ground, forming another more beautiful landscape. And the most representative city in the south is naturally the southern city closest to the Qingling River - Jincheng.

The reason why Jincheng is called Jincheng is also because from the beginning of the founding of Qi to the present, the brocade cloth industry in Jincheng has developed particularly rapidly. Ordinary high-ranking officials, nobles, and princes and ministers of the Qi State were happy to pursue high-grade fabrics woven from these Jincheng silks. In recent years, even the princes and ministers of the rival feudal kingdom of Qi did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy these symbolic noble brocade cloths from the merchants and common people who operated brocade cloth in Jincheng.

In the history before the Qi Kingdom, there was a poet who passed by Jincheng and was moved to describe this Jincheng hidden in dense woods and flowing on the edge of the crystal clear Qingling River. For this once upon a time Jincheng, the poet once described it like this: "Jincheng is in the south of Chenzhou, east of Zhenqiao, south bank of Qingling River, the old Jinguan office in the former Shu period, the number of Jinli, the city wall is still there"

Now Jincheng has made a lot of money with its own special brocade cloth, which also makes the people and merchants in the entire Jincheng look very rich. Walking on the road of Jincheng, the people of Jincheng are wearing long brocade cloth and wearing luxurious cloth shirts. The women also adorn themselves with ornate agate beads on their heads.

Through the avenue of Jincheng, you can pass by the mangrove forest on the edge of Jincheng, and you can see a mist-shrouded place in a small mountain not far from Jincheng, hiding a very majestic mansion. This mansion is also the first family in the entire Qi country, and Mingdi guarantees the revitalization of his family through the family's high-ranking officials. In fact, the Lu family secretly sought high profits by selling weapons between the Qi State and the Feng State. Of course, through such means, the Lu family also made very high profits to secretly buy their own dead soldiers. No one knows what the Lu family wants to do, of course, there are not many people who know about this matter, so the Lu family is relatively safe now, and it has not been noticed by many Qi officials.

Because the Lu family's mansion is located in a very private place, many people and ordinary officials don't even know that there is such a favored first family, the Lu family. It is for this reason that not many people know about this mansion nestled in a mountain range.

It's late autumn approaching winter, as the weather is starting to get cooler. There are really few people walking on the road, so a girl dressed in white and running quickly from the road in a hurry is very eye-catching.

"Whew" The girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, with a coarse cloth package on her shoulder. Compared to her steps, she is very skillful. The girl ran under the mountain range hidden outside the Lu family, and she finally couldn't run anymore. Looking at the clouds hidden above the mountains, the girl dressed in white was keenly aware that there might be a house on it. So, the girl easily performed her light skills and crossed the narrow road that was not easy for ordinary people to cross. All the way up the hill.

This girl was Feng Shanshan, who had not passed the "Ling Feng Test" at that time and had not obtained the qualifications to enter the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy. Feng Shanshan thought about it for a long time, but decided to go back to the bamboo forest near Ruocheng to find her parents.

Along the way, Feng Shanshan was not in a hurry, the teacher gave her a lot of money, so that Feng Shanshan had enough time to wander along the way, enjoying the scenery on the way back from Xuancheng to Ruocheng. It was precisely because of such a period of time when she was not in a hurry that Feng Shanshan specially went to the Xuanling River, the longest river on the Demon Spirit Continent, to see the majesty of the longest river in the continent. Such a journey has added a lot of experience to Feng Shanshan. She was also able to visit some of the most beautiful landscapes across the continent.

Feng Shanshan came to the bottom of the Lu family's hiding place, looking at the coherent mountain range in front of her with blazing eyes. Feng Shanshan walked all the way up, she didn't actually know that what existed on this mountain range was the official mansion of the Lu family, the first family of the Qi Kingdom. She just wanted to go up and see what was going on.

After a long time, Feng Shanshan passed a relatively narrow mountain road, and saw a road paved with stone steps that continued to pass above. When Feng Shanshan saw this road paved with white stone steps, she knew that there must be people on it.

Feng Shanshan continued to go up, and soon saw a luxurious mansion shrouded in clouds, Feng Shanshan quietly leaned against the door of this luxurious mansion, and her eyes continued to search for something outside the entire mansion.

After some time of observation, Feng Shanshan had basically seen the situation around this mansion clearly. Feng Shanshan's eyes fell on the top one, hanging on a red plaque at the top, with the four words "Lu Pingjue Mansion" written on it.

Looking at the dozen or so soldiers guarding the door, Feng Shanshan felt that it seemed that the main gate should not be easy to enter. She crept through a small forest outside the mahogany gate to a side door.

"Hey, what's the situation with this ladder" Feng Shanshan had just walked to the edge of the right side of the mansion closest to another mountain range, but she saw a wooden ladder outside the mansion, which made Feng Shanshan feel a little strange.

Feng Shanshan looked around and confirmed that she didn't see the soldiers guarding outside this "Lu Pingjue Mansion", so Feng Shanshan wanted to go in and find out.

Indeed, after such a period of experience on the road, Feng Shanshan's acumen has been exercised somewhat. was also harassed by many people along the way, which led to Feng Shanshan's observation and keen ability being greatly improved. This kind of experience of traveling to the mainland is not the same as Feng Yuchong's study in the academy.

Feng Shanshan knew that this "Lu Pingjue Mansion" must be a somewhat unusual place. Just the dozen or so dead soldiers at the door who were wearing armor and holding slender knives made Feng Shanshan feel a little wrong. Almost subconsciously, Feng Shanshan tried to go up from the edge of this mansion without going up through the ladder that was very strange across it. I found that this mansion was really a bit tall, and it was indeed difficult to rely on light skills alone.

Feng Shanshan stood there thinking about the specific way of action, she didn't want to leave just like that. Her instincts told her that there must be some unusual secret in this mansion. Feng Shanshan has a strong desire to visit since she was a child, and Feng Shanshan is full of curiosity about the "Lu Pingjue Mansion" in front of her.

Before you know it, time flies by, and when Feng Shanshan makes up her mind to go up the ladder that crosses there to see what is going on. After looking around, I was surprised to find that it was already declining.

Time waited for no one, Feng Shanshan quickly pulled the coarse cloth package on her shoulder, reached out and raised her feet, and quickly climbed to the roof through the ladder. Feng Shanshan tried her best to step on the black tiles, basically acting silently.

The setting sun shone on Feng Shanshan's figure stepping on Lu Pingjue's mansion, projecting on the small courtyard inside. Feng Shanshan looked down at the small courtyard inside, which seemed relatively secluded, and slowly observed there.

The small courtyard is very simple, there is basically no special building, only a small house wrapped in white walls and black tiles, and the gate of this small courtyard is closed. Feng Shanshan's bright eyes noticed the dust that had been sealed on this door for a long time, obviously it had not been opened for a long time. Feng Shanshan looked around, and the only thing she saw that could communicate with the outside world was a small iron cage erected on the wall. The other thing that made Feng Shanshan a little interested was a long sword hanging under two trees outside and a golden spear that looked very bright in the setting sun.

Now it's time to eat, Feng Shanshan is thinking about whether to leave here and go to Jincheng to eat. But I saw the iron cage that was originally locked there slowly open, and a light of dinner, two dishes and a bowl of rice came in from the outside world. This dish is not bad, Feng Shanshan thought secretly.

"Young master has eaten" From outside the iron cage, a slightly old voice came. The direction of the voice was apparently to the only building in the small courtyard.

After a long time, there was a deep sigh inside, "I know, thank you, Uncle Zhe"

The voice outside continued: "Don't dare, I'll take care of you on the orders of my wife, but now the master doesn't believe in me, that's all I can do, young master, you better practice hard and break through the second layer as soon as possible."

Feng Shanshan was still standing on the eaves, and at this time, a somewhat slender figure came out of the small courtyard. may be because of the sunset, Feng Shanshan can't see the face of the person who came out too clearly. It's just that Feng Shanshan has been able to determine that this is obviously a teenager, and he is estimated to be not much older than himself.

The boy was dressed in a pale yellow robe, and he surged there like golden waves. However, the cold and melancholy expression on the young man's face made Feng Shanshan feel a little chilling when he saw it.

Feng Shanshan quietly observed the young man's back, watching him calmly pick up the rice bowl in front of him and quietly take the food back. Feng Shanshan felt that it was not interesting, and was about to leave through the ladder when a cold word suddenly came from the courtyard, which made Feng Shanshan's feet not stand firmly. I slipped and fell into that little yard!
