Chapter 87: Reactions from all sides
"You're not mistaken, it's just that someone came to kill me, how about it, are you afraid? Do you want to come with me? "It's a long way to go, and I decided to give the grapes another chance to choose again.
"Ah, it's true," Grape said nervously as he walked around the road, "are you hurt, miss?" ”
"Your young lady is blessed by the gods, where is it so easy to get hurt." Lu Manman looked proud.
"Hehe, then the slave and maid are not afraid, where the young lady and the lady go, the slave and the maid will go."
"You're a little girl, and you've learned to make it bad, haven't you?" The road is long and he is about to pinch the face of the grapes.
"The slave maid was specially bought by the lady to take care of Miss Xiangxiang, and Miss Xiangxiang is your stand-in, that is to say, the slave and maid were specially bought by the lady to serve the miss." Grape said very righteously, and it was not good to refute it until it was a long way to go.
Who let the people in the whole house spoil Lu Xiangxiang that little female cat, thinking that Lu Manman has had a good time over the years, it is Lu Xiangxiang's credit for the stand-in, which makes Lu Manman cry and laugh a little, but also spoil them with them, so that they can feel that they are not by Lu Manman's side for these years, and they have also contributed.
"Alright, let's go and rest." Lu Manman waved his hand to let the grapes retreat, which was a tacit acquiescence and continued to let the grapes follow.
Lu Long walked to the courtyard, saw his weapon, walked over, pressed the mechanism, and the mutated protective shield with teeth and claws turned into an inconspicuous iron rod in an instant.
Chiffon is still silently waiting in the corner, and the road is long.
Seeing that Lu Long came back and packed up the weapons in front of him, Chi Feng walked out and arched his hand: "Miss, those people outside have been dealt with according to the old rules, and the arrows in the yard have also been cleaned up by their subordinates, and their subordinates will guard this neighborhood tonight, so you can rest in peace." ”
"Well, then I'll trouble you." Lu Manman has never been polite to his own people, so he calmly accepted Chifeng's proposal.
Chi Feng was a little hesitant, but he still asked the words that he was holding back in his heart: "Miss, do you need subordinates to find out who is so bold?" ”
"No need, it's just those people on the left and right, and it's just a gift for people when they come, my time is very valuable, where do I have time to take care of these people who are full and have nothing to do, I will take the Black Eagle Hall Master to the Medicine Valley tomorrow, you pay more attention to the movements of the capital, and when I leave, you can set a trap in this courtyard, you don't need to show mercy to your subordinates, let those people come and go, I want to see how many heads those people have to test."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
After saying that, he went directly back to his room, and after bandaging the arm that was scratched by Xuanyuan Mingyue's mallet, he slept very peacefully.
On the second day, before dawn, the master who was invited by Lu Manlong arrived, and immediately alarmed Chi Feng, and just when Chi Feng was about to release the poisonous fog bomb, the old man also shouted: "What kind of person, dare to covet my Yufengzi employer." ”
Under Chi Feng's signal, Chi Feng's subordinates withdrew the poisonous mist bomb that was about to be released, and Chi Feng glanced at the old man carefully, and then smiled: "Under the Poison Throne of Xia Tie Ji Mountain, Chi Feng has seen the predecessors of Yufengzi. ”
The people who followed behind Yu Fengzi also put away their offensive posture.
"It turned out to be a person from Tieji Mountain, the county lord of Lingxi, but you hired us, but you are here, what is the matter." No wonder Yu Fengzi is cautious, Yu Fengzi has not dealt with the Poison King, although over the years, the Poison King has been a lot more down-to-earth, but they have always been in contact with the people of the Black Third Master, and they are more or less worried that their business will be robbed by the people on the Poison King's side.
Of course, Chifeng saw Yufengzi's worries, "The county lord of Lingxi was attacked last night, and the county lord has a lot of connections with my Tieji Mountain, so I am just here to keep vigil for the county lord of Lingxi, since the predecessors of Yufengzi have arrived, then I will leave in the next place, and remind the seniors that the identity of the county lord of Lingxi is precious, and I hope that you will do your best to protect the county lord, and Tieji Mountain will be thanked." ”
After speaking, he left with his subordinates, leaving Yu Fengzi and the others at a loss.
A woodcutter-looking person spoke: "Brother Yu, who is this Lingxi County Lord, not only do you have to invite the twenty of us to protect you all the way, but even the people of Tieji Mountain seem to value her very much, does she have anything to do with the people of Tieji Mountain?" Why don't you just ask someone from Tiejishan to escort you. ”
Another person who looked like a little girl glanced at the man: "Who is she who cares about our affairs, don't forget, we go on a mission, but we don't ask the employer anything, whether she has anything to do with Tiejishan or not, we must do our best, worthy of the 10,000 taels of protection money she paid, besides, the people of Tiejishan have always been middlemen, and generally do not directly participate in the employer's affairs." ”
Yu Fengzi glanced at the woodcutter: "Qin Niang is right, since you have eaten this bowl of rice, you must abide by the rules of this industry, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't see, we just need to protect them," Yu Fengzi looked at the others again. "Old man, I am for the sake of everyone's old acquaintance, so I will introduce this fat difference to you, 10,000 taels, enough for you to live in seclusion and be a rich man, after this trip, the old man I plan to live for the rest of my life, don't make trouble for the old man, disturb the old man's old age, don't blame the old man for being ruthless."
The rest of the people all nodded solemnly.
Xiu Yuan got up early and took care of everything, for fear that the road would be long and he would not follow.
When Yu Fengzi and the others came to the gate and knocked on the door, the group was just ready.
Xiuyuan looked at a group of people dressed in various clothes, and asked with some curiosity, "Old man, what's the matter with you?" ”
Yu Fengzi saw at a glance that Xiu Yuan was a weak chicken, and then looked at the others, all of them were people who had no martial arts, and there was no one to guard, no wonder he had to find twenty people.
"Old man, my name is Yufengzi, and I am a guard hired by the lord of Lingxi County." Yu Fengzi introduced himself, not embarrassed at all because of his shabby clothes.
As soon as he heard that Lu Manman had invited so many guards, Xiu Yuan's face was about to laugh, Xiu Yuan blindly believed that Lu Manman, and none of the people and things in his hands were ordinary, of course, he would not judge people by their appearance, and felt that these people were not like guards.
Before this, he was so worried that he wanted to go to Beishan County, which was very desolate all the way, I don't know how many mountain bandits, and the black eagle was seriously injured, so he took the initiative to say that he wanted to follow, he was afraid that Lu Long would be in danger for them, but he didn't expect that Lu Long had arranged the guards early, which made him worry in vain.
"Everyone, please come in, Xiaosheng Xiuyuan, you are the acting housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, have you had breakfast, do you want to order breakfast before leaving?" Xiuyuan was very attentive, and always felt that he had to deal with these people, after all, their lives depended on these people.
Yu Fengzi and Qin Niang looked at Xiuyuan with the expression of a fool, they were guards, not here to visit the door, and they had breakfast, but they still replied politely: "I have used it." ”
"It's none of your business here, hurry up and see if you have enough medicinal herbs." When Lu Manman came out from behind, he saw Xiuyuan looking like a dog, and directly ordered Xiuyuan to do something else, and broke Xiuyuan away.
"Hey, I'll check again," and then looked at Yu Fengzi and the others, "You guys sit down first, I'll come when I go." And then the was gone.
"I'm smiling, Butler Xiu, I'm a nerd with a lot of etiquette, and I invite you Haihan." Lu Man said politely.
"Where, the housekeeper Xiu treats people warmly, young people, they are all so enthusiastic," Yu Fengzi praised Xiu Yuan incorrectly, and then said: "The old man's name is Yu Fengzi, the master can call me the old man Yu directly, this time I know that there are female dependents, so I brought six female guards over to facilitate taking care of them, and the rest of the people are all masters of the top names in the platoon, and they will definitely send the county lord to Beishan County safely, but we people in the medicine valley, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter, when the time comes," the rest of the words, Yu Fengzi did not point out.
But Lu Manman knew what Yu Fengzi meant: "Don't worry, you just need to protect us to Beishan County, and the matter of going to Medicine Valley to treat injuries has nothing to do with your remuneration." ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
After saying everything, Lu Long Man and his party are ready to set off, and the entire Lu Mansion is left with Old Man Mo and Cai Pozi, who can barely be regarded as confidants, Lu Manman still explained: "Look at the family, if there is anything that can't be solved, go to the Yuan family." ”
Before leaving, Lu Manman also sent a letter to Yuan Baizhi, asking him to take care of her mansion, as well as Jin An'er, who had some friendship with her, lest the people of Dou Mansion bully An'er when they saw that she was no longer in the capital, but the people who wanted to come to Dou Mansion did not dare to offend her too much, after all, she was now the county lord of Lingxi who was overwhelming Qunfang, and she also made the most bullish Qinghu county lord in the capital disgraced, and sent a letter to Yuan Baizhi, just in case.
Yu Fengzi and the others also acted as coachmen at the same time, except for a few female guards, who went directly into the carriage and protected the female dependents, the rest of the people sat directly on the roof of the carriage, leaving the road speechless for a while, could it be that these people were so poor that they didn't even have a horse to come out to take over the task?
Such a strange combination soon attracted the attention of many people when passing through the city gate, but whether it was the master of the long road or the guards, they all looked calm, so that others could not say anything.
The road was long and the others went out of the city smoothly and went all the way north.
The people who were waiting in the capital reacted and caused a shock in the circle of nobles in the capital, and the county lord of Lingxi quietly left with his biological parents, which disappointed many people who were waiting to see a good show.
After Lu Ying'er returned home, the whole person was stunned, she never knew that her lost cousin was so powerful, she couldn't go to the chrysanthemum banquet, she was messed up by Lu Manman, and she didn't worry about the nobles blaming her at all, and the most important thing was that she became Yuan Baizhi's wife, and she pressed the county lord of Qinghu alive.
In the entire capital, the happiest people are the people of Empress Yuan's faction, the most angry are the people of Qi Guifei and the eldest princess of Qingyang, and the most regretful ones are the Jingyang County Lord and the Qin family of the Lu family.
The news of the Qin family is not so well-informed, and what happened at the chrysanthemum banquet is a scandal of the eldest princess of Qingyang and her faction, even if it is the people of the Yuan queen's faction, they have not publicized it in a big way, after all, at this time, it is better to have fun than to tear your face with others.
It was also after Lu Ying'er returned home that she was asked about the details of the banquet by Mrs. Lu's Bai family, and learned such an earth-shattering event from Lu Ying'er's eldest girl, Poria.
The Qin clan had a seizure on the spot: "Presumptuous, it's simply humiliating, you are so domineering, you dare to provoke the eldest princess of Qingyang and Concubine Qi." "No one knows, Qin's family, I can't wait to go back to before Lu Manman was adopted, if their family has been raising Lu Manman, everything Lu Manman has now can pave the way for her grandchildren.
The county lord of Jingyang, almost after Lu Long left with the black eagle, knew the whole thing, and was happily waiting for the arrival of his granddaughter, but suddenly his face was so gloomy that he drove all the girls out, leaving only Mama Nan.
"Nanxin, I hate it so much, that girl, this is the opportunity for me to rise, if she didn't lose it at the beginning, she is the girl of my Lu family's lineage, I am afraid that she can get more today, it is all to blame for the waste of the third family, there is more than enough success, if it weren't for her being as stupid as a pig, now stepping on Qingyang's cheap girl, it's me." The county lord of Jingyang really regrets not being at the beginning.
"County Lord, don't be like this, Lingxi County Lord, although she has suppressed the eldest princess of Qingyang now, but the eldest princess of Qingyang is not easy to mess with, just look at it, the county lord of Lingxi has to suffer from it, it is better if she is not in our Lu Mansion, so as not to cause trouble for you." Nan Mama, can only persuade the angry Jingyang County Lord like this.
"Nanxin, tell the mother-in-law over there in the ancestral hall that I am not feeling well, let the fool of the third family fast for three days and concentrate on copying the Book of Filial Piety." In the end, all the anger of the county lord of Jingyang was sprinkled on the third lady of Lu who was locked up.
Mrs. Lu's Jin, of course, quickly got the news that Jingyang County punished Mrs. Lu, and sneered a little: "My younger brother and sister, it's really pitiful, I haven't seen the light of day for more than ten years, and now it's autumn, this is to make the third brother and sister hungry and cold." ”
Mama Mei pondered for a while, and still asked, "That lady, but you want to take care of the third lady secretly?" ”
"Heh, the third child himself doesn't care about his daughter-in-law, and he expects me to be a sister-in-law? Besides, the old woman is angry now, whoever bumps into him is unlucky, Mrs. Ben is not that badly kind, and the third brother and sister found it themselves, and after being praised for a few words, they can't find the north, and they ruined the old woman's plan on their own, if it weren't for the two children, the seventh and the eighth, the third brother and sister would have been executed by the family law, and now they are still alive, so let's have fun. Kim said in a bad tone.
"Yes, ma'am, slaves and maidservants listen to you."
"In the future, these things will make our people avoid it, the old woman is getting older, and her patience is getting less and less, who knows what crazy things she will do, we can't let her feel that we have been out of her control, otherwise I don't know how to deal with Mrs. Ben, after living for so many years, I finally understand, daughter-in-law, they are all outsiders, they can be changed at any time, they can be killed, but we can't let her find a chance and move Mrs. Ben's abacus."
The road is long
