saw Lu Shi and his two elder brothers suddenly fall on the dinner table. Yi Yu subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to shout, but suddenly felt that his shoulders and neck were numb, but he couldn't spit out half a word, and turned his head to look at Yao Huang, who had already straightened up from the chair, and a pair of black eyes burst with anger.

Yao Huang lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, they are just asleep temporarily, and they will wake up after a while." ”

She suppressed the panic rising in her heart, and quickly got up to check on the Lu clan before she looked up at Yao Huang again, with an inquiring hint in her angry eyes.

Yao Huang walked around the table to her, and without looking at her defensively, he took out a flat box half a foot long and four fingers wide from his sleeve and handed it over.

whispered: "Someone outside intercepted us, so I escaped through your house, they won't embarrass you if they can't find us - the contents of this box must be useful to you in the future, and we don't know if we can see each other again, hey, you are smart, I was lucky to meet me, and now it seems ......"

Yi Yu didn't reach out to pick up the box, and after listening to Yao Huang's words, he knew that someone outside was going to arrest the father and daughter. She calmed down instead, although he emphasized that those people would not embarrass their family, but who knew whether it was true or false, thinking of Yao Huang's likely true identity, coupled with his current actions, it was impossible for her to let them escape smoothly.

Yao Huang does have the grace to cure her mother's illness, and she also has a half-teacher affection, if she is the only one in the family now, it will be left to make a top bag for him, but Lu Shi and Lu Zhi and Lu Jun are all here, and it is impossible for her to give favors to her family's safety.

These thoughts just flashed in her mind, Yao Huang's voice fell, she took advantage of her unpreparedness to quickly reach out and prepare to drop the dishes on the table, wanting to use this sound to arouse the alarm of people outside the house, but Yao Huang's movements were faster than her, and at the same time that her right hand touched the plate, she grabbed her wrist like lightning.

Yi Yu was horrified to find that her body didn't obey the call, and she didn't have to think about it, Yao Huang sighed lightly, pressed her to the chair and sat down, and put the flat box on the chair next to her.

"Uncle Yao will never go with them, Xiaoyu, wait for me to apologize to your mother and brothers."

After Yao Huang finished speaking, he went around to Yao Ziqi and pulled her up, walked to the back door of the living room and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, and after his expression was relaxed, he walked out of the door lightly, and there was no expression on Yu Yu's face, but his heart was both shocked and angry. watched as they lifted the curtain and came out of her sight.

The two arrived in the backyard, and there was a high pile of sundries under the wall adjacent to Yao Lu's house, which was made by Lu Jun when Yao Huang helped the Lu family look at feng shui before, Yao Huang carried Yao Ziqi's shoulder, took a breath and jumped on the wall with a single step on the pile of debris, and the figure disappeared into the night after several ups and downs.

The black-clothed swordsman who was hidden in Yao's house before didn't dare to guard the wall anymore because half of them were poisoned, so they all waited in the alley at the front door of Lu's house, and saw Yao Huang enter Lu's house for a long time and didn't come out, and the person at the head felt bad, and then a few people kicked open the door of Lu's house and rushed into the house, and saw the three people lying down on the table and the frozen body of the remaining jade, the three people who were not poisoned, two ran to the backyard, and one searched in the house.

After a while, the three of them returned to the living room empty-handed, and the swordsman who was unconscious in his arms asked Yiyu with a cold face, "What about Yao Buzhi?" ”

Because Yi Yu was restrained by Yao Huang's methods before, he could neither speak nor move at this time, and there was a faint expression on his face, which fell in the eyes of the black-clothed swordsman, but he became a calm appearance.

Seeing that she didn't answer, one of the swordsmen, with both arms intact, stepped forward and grabbed the jade wrist and probed it for the vein. Then he frowned and said: "What a weird acupoint technique-what to do, let that Yao Buzhi run away again!" ”

The man in black squinted at the remnant jade, and said in a deep voice, "Take this little girl back first." ”

Chang'an City House

In the morning when the mist first cleared, a carriage stopped outside the main entrance, the curtain was opened, and a young man in pale clothes jumped down, turned around and helped out an old man with white hair, the old man got out of the car and looked up at the door plaque hanging above his head, his face was very cold.

The white-haired old man walked directly towards the gate of the house, and the guards guarding the door were about to reach out to stop him, and the young man in the blue clothes who walked one step behind the old man slid out a sign from his cuffs and compared it in front of the two guards, and the old man walked directly into the open gate without stopping half a step.

Outside the treasury, Li Niang, who had only been promoted to the serious hostess of the house not long ago, was sitting on a carved chair, directing the people who came and went to summarize the rewards given by the emperor yesterday.

A figure hurriedly trotted over in the distance, bowed down and whispered a few words after standing beside her, a crack appeared on Liniang's delicate face, her eyes flashed and then returned to normal, and she explained a few words to the steward who was waiting on the side, got up and left with the comer, and the steps in the distance were a little tight.

Lu Zhongzhi sat in the living room, his arms supporting crutches in front of him, his loose eyelids drooping, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and I saw a person striding into the hall, with a slender figure, although there were some fine lines in his eyebrows and eyes, it was difficult to hide his dignified atmosphere, his face was slightly thin, but his spirit was full.

"Father-in-law!"

A clear and tight voice came out of his mouth. Lu Zhongzhi, who was sitting on the main seat in the north, slowly opened his eyelids, the fierce color in the eagle's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the man standing respectfully five steps in front of him, and moved his eyes to the table and chair on the side.

"Lord Fang, the old man came to the door today for a special matter, I hope you don't make things difficult."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head and said: "Father-in-law, please also make it clear that if the son-in-law can do it, he will do his best." His attitude was respectful, but what he said was worth playing, which made Lu Zhongzhi snort coldly without answering or shirking.

"Naturally, you can do it, the old man wrote to you a few days ago, and asked you for the same thing, are you ready?"

Fang Xuanling looked up at him slightly, shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, don't embarrass your son-in-law." ”

"Embarrassed?" Lu Zhongzhi's tone was slightly raised, "Who is the two of us who is embarrassed by whom, you know very well in your own heart, okay, the old man doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, if you are not prepared, go write now!" ”

Fang Xuanling sighed lightly, waved his hand to retreat, and glanced at the young man standing behind Lu Zhongzhi. After frowning slightly, he relaxed, "Father-in-law, Lan Niang is the wife I am marrying, and there is no need to mention the matter of resignation, and my son-in-law will not write it." ”

Lu Zhongzhi's five fingers suddenly clasped together and clenched the cane in his hand, a pair of eagle eyes stared at the person in front of him, I don't know how long it took, before I heard him say fiercely: "Fang Qiao, Fang Qiao, I entrusted Lan Niang to you back then, I originally wanted to be more stable than running around with me, an old man, but how did you treat my daughter and grandchildren?" This is the Central Plains. I don't bother to listen, but now you touch your conscience and ask, you are worthy of them! ”

Fang Xuanling's face turned pale, but he still continued: "There were many mistakes in the matter of the little son-in-law back then, if I find Lan Niang one day, I will bear the guilt of Jing in front of her, ask her for forgiveness, and leave the book, I will never write." ”

"Haha!" Lu Zhongzhi laughed twice, and the mockery in his eyes was full of ridicule, "What if one day? Guilty of petitioning? Thanks to what you said, the old man told you that my daughter and grandchildren have died in the chaos of war and chaos a long time ago, you don't have to deceive yourself anymore, and let my poor daughter be able to blind under the nine springs! ”

Fang Xuanling's face turned pale again, and said: "The little son-in-law believes that Lan Niang is still alive in the world, if - if she is really gone, then she will also be the wife of someone in my room for the rest of her life." ”

"Boom!" With a soul-shattering muffled sound, Lu Zhongzhi slammed the cane in his hand on the ground, "Do you write or not?" ”

"Please forgive my son-in-law for not being able to do it."

"Okay, Fang Qiao, it's you who insist on tearing your face with the old man, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future!" Lu Zhongzhi glanced at him coldly, got up and walked out of the living room slowly with his cane behind the young man in blue clothes who had been holding a sword with his head down all along.

After they left, Fang Xuanling slowly sat down with the chair behind him holding his chest, and after coughing a few times, the corners of his lips were overflowing with a trace of blood red, and he stared at a half-foot-long crack that exploded on the ground in front of where Lu Zhongzhi was sitting just now, and his face showed a thick bitterness.

"Master," a soft voice called, Li Niang walked into the living room, stood in front of him in a few steps and leaned down, and when she saw the blood on his face, she hurriedly took out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve and reached out to wipe it.

"Sir! What's wrong with you. Someone! Come on, pass on Dr. Song! ”

Fang Xuanling stretched out a hand to interrupt her shouting, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, why are you here." ”

Li Niang's words were a little nervous, "I heard that Grandpa Guo came to our house, I was afraid, I was afraid that he would be angry with you because of my sister's affairs, so I hurried over... I didn't think you were still... Sir, why don't you explain to him what happened back then? ”

Fang Xuanling sighed, reached out and held her hand that was wiping the blood on her lips and patted it twice, then let go, closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, "With my father-in-law's temper, if I talk to him, it will be in vain, and let him hold a grudge against you, Li Niang, you suffered a lot with me back then, and Xiao Wu is even more - it's okay, there is no need to mention this matter in the future." ”

Li Niang hesitated for a moment, looking at the man in front of her who was still in a posture but slightly tired, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything more after all.

Later, a doctor came to diagnose and treat, and after making sure that it was okay, he wrote a prescription for calming the nerves, Fang Xuanling sent Li Niang away and returned to the study alone.

He rested on the couch for a while, and then asked the people outside the door to look for someone to enter the house, and he sorted out his clothes and sat down behind the desk, waiting while flipping through the books.

There was a knock on the door, and after he answered, a young man with good looks walked into the study and saluted him, "Sir." ”

Fang Xuanling put down the scroll in his hand, "Sit down, Jing Yan, I called you over today because I have something to ask." ”

"Sir, please."

"At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held by His Royal Highness King Wei a while ago, I heard that His Majesty praised a person and took that person away from the table?"

"But there is such a thing, it is Lu Zhi, a student of Guozi Jian Tai Academy."

Fang Xuanling had a kind smile on his face, "What do you think of this person named Lu Zhi?" ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and his words showed an unconcealable sense of appreciation, "Sir, then Lu Zhizhen is really a young hero, not to mention that he is quite famous in the academy's Chinese collection, the ten words of advice at the banquet that day, such courage and temperament, even let the students sigh to themselves, but Mr. has an opinion on him when he sees it?" ”

"Oh? Do you know him? Fang Xuanling's eyes showed a hint of interest.

"I won't tell you the truth, after that banquet, the student took the initiative to invite him to talk, although we didn't say that we were friendly, but we could talk, if Mr. has any opinions about him, I can introduce it on your behalf."

Fang Xuanling clasped his hands, his eyes showed a faint thought, and finally shook his head gently, "This matter is not in a hurry." ”

Seeing a faint look of disappointment in the young man's eyes, he chose a topic on the side, and the two chatted for half an hour before the young man said goodbye and left.

After he left, Fang Xuanling put away the smile on his face, frowned, turned out the paper in a book on the table, opened it and read it carefully, got up and paced back and forth in the study, his face was bitter with a smile, as if it was suspiciously difficult, and finally he walked quickly to the table and sat down, grinding and laying paper, picking up the pen and hurriedly writing it, carefully packed it after the letter was completed, and painted the wax seal, called the person outside the door to whisper a few words, and handed out the letterhead.

***

Besides, several black-clothed swordsmen who broke into Lu's house last night, after looking for the miracle doctor Yao Buzhi to no avail, took away the only sober Yu in the house, because three people were poisoned, two of the current fast horses with intact arms left, and the remaining one with intact arms rented a carriage in the town, spent a few more money to resign from the coachman, and let Yu Yu sit in the car with the poisoned three people and catch the car by himself.

When they left Longquan Town for a distance, Yu Yucai slowly regained control of his body, opened his mouth to test his voice, and said in a low voice:

"Where are you taking me?"

It would be impossible to say that she was not flustered now, but after all, these people only kidnapped her alone, and the Lu family and Lu Zhi were still staying at home, so there should be no danger.

The three people in the car saw her suddenly open her mouth to speak, and after being surprised, one of them replied with a light snort: "There is no need to ask, if you are honest, after you have asked at the place, you will naturally be let go back." ”

Yi Yu's heart was half lowered, although he didn't fully believe his words, but these people were all in good order after taking her away, and they had never been rude, they must not be some big traitors, and now they took her away, probably because Yao Buzhi escaped, arrested her and went back to explain to the people above.

There was silence in the car for a while, and the man in black who had just answered Yu Yu's words sighed, and said to the two people sitting opposite: "Our brothers' arms are useless, and they will be useless people in the future.

"Big brother!" The two shouted together, and even the person who was driving the car outside roared: "We won't do such an unrighteous thing, don't worry, big brother, the master is discerning, it's that Yao Buzhi is too cunning." ”(！ )
