Chapter 244: Circle and dot
Sendai's main residential area, Higashijo.
The Upper District is a gathering place for the wealthy. During this period, there was a large mansion, which was a private residence that the chief of Lu Yun had accumulated for decades as an official.
The courtyard of several entrances, the blue bricks and tiles are extraordinary. Whether it is the carved stones, flowers and trees in the courtyard, or the interior layout and furnishings, in addition to the magnificence, it also reveals a unique and elegant atmosphere of the civil officials of the Great Xia Empire.
Dressed in a plain brocade robe, he put his hands behind his back, and his tall body stood proudly under the eaves of the porch, as if the entire courtyard and even the entire Sendai were still under his control.
This is the majesty that naturally arises from being a feudal official for a long time. His gaze swept over the eaves in front of him and fell on the autumn clouds, which looked clear and cold.
Lu Yunchang stood under the eaves of the corridor for a long time, quietly staring at the flowing clouds in autumn, just like those Taoists in the Qin Heavenly Prison of the Great Xia Empire who watched the heavens all day long.
In the hall behind the eaves, many subordinates who followed him had gathered, some of them had the air of recklessness, all of them had solemn expressions, but none of them dared to step forward to disturb the figure that was as still as a stone statue.
The subordinates in the family were even quieter, and even walked cautiously, trying not to make any noise, showing the extremely strict family style of the Lu Mansion.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Lu Yunchang, who had been watching the sky under the corridor for a long time, finally returned to the study and looked at a word on the bookcase with an expressionless face.
That was inscribed for him by Lu Xiangguo before he went to Zhongzhou.
"Protect the country and the people", the four big characters are vigorous and powerful, like ink flowing on rice paper, highlighting the meaning of fists in Xiangguo's heart.
"What the hell is going on in Yingdu! The energy in the hands of the princess's mansion has always been a potential dark place, but this time it has blatantly jumped out, and the appearance is so ugly!"
In Lu Yunchang's mind, countless major events, old cases, and countless character relationships were calculated quickly and nervously.
An hour ago, a reliable subordinate had already gone to investigate, and no news had been sent back.
At this point, it is difficult to win back this game even if you fight to the death, but it is Duan Anguo's butcher, and the meaning revealed in the end is worth paying attention to.
- Eradicate the Nine Knife Gate.
Jing Qi is a person who has been paying attention to himself for a long time, and he is a dazzling young generation. Their people, for this reason, even took the risk of letting General Cheng from Northern Xinjiang come to Sendai from the interval of the war to secretly observe the young man.
For more than a year, the Nine Swords Gate has swept the six major factions at night and unified Chengnan Street, all of which happened under his own eyelids.
I love such a general, and I am jealous of the accident wind and frost he showed at a young age.
A few loyal subordinates stood silently on his left and right, and in the already small hall, there were seven or eight people standing solemnly, and the space seemed a little oppressive.
The situation in front of you, if you are not careful, Sendai, which has been painstakingly operated for decades, and even the entire Zhongzhou, will fall into the hands of the other party.
Lu Yun seemed to have made a great determination, and his tall body suddenly walked towards the secret room behind the study.
Several subordinates, looking like they were both civil and martial, they looked at each other a few times, but did not follow up.
When he came out, Lu Yunchang had an extra map in his hand, he strode to the bookcase, holding the map axis in his right hand, and with a flick of his left hand, a long scroll of flowers unfolded on the bookcase.
The wide long scroll slowly unfolded, like a rapidly spreading flood, covering all the folds originally laid on the table, the book, and the four big characters of Lu Xiangguo's "Protecting the Country and the People".
The long scroll is unfolded from left to right, just the opposite of the order of mentioning the characters, Lu Xiangguo's four words are covered in turn, and Lu Yunchang sees the words "An-Guo" in turn at the moment of covering.
Duan, Anguo.
Could this be the will of God, will someone in my land be planted in his hands after all!
Lu Yunchang's face was pale, and there was obviously a huge pressure on his face. He tried to calm himself down, and shook his head slightly, as if to expel the fatalistic grief in his head.
The subordinates behind him have never seen such a Lu Junfu, a feudal official who is as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention that his cultivation and bearing far exceed that of thousands of bureaucrats, at least not because he lost a position.
Of the few people, probably only the young soldier guarding the door knew why. Of course, he was no longer a soldier, but an ordinary young man dressed in black, standing silently behind everyone.
A few years ago, he went to Beijing with the county guard to meet Lu Xiangguo, and he could see the relationship between Lu Xiangguo and the county guard, the feeling of being a teacher and a friend, and the meaning of colleagues who worked hard and cherished each other for the Great Xia Empire.
However, Xiangguo was threatened in the open this time, as his most proud protégé, only by taking the most ruthless means can he live up to Xiangguo's trust.
Even if he doesn't talk about the love with Xiangguo, he can't suffer the eternal humiliation of this Great Xia officialdom in vain - without the general knowledge of the officials, without prior discussion, he was handed over the official seal by a civilian.
This unfolded scroll is a detailed map of Sendai, so detailed that the number of houses on both sides of the street is the same as it actually is.
Lu Yunchang stretched out his index finger and pressed it firmly on a small green dot in the upper left corner of the long scroll, and the eyes of the subordinates behind him instantly focused on the focus of Lu Daren's index finger.
The hall was silent, only the index finger dragged slowly on the long scroll, everyone's eyes moved with their fingertips, and several civilian-looking people behind them glanced at each other, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Lu Yunchang used his fingers to make slow and solemn circles on the long scroll.
Start by dotting a few dots, then draw a few twisted lines, preferably using an ellipse to circle a few lines and dots.
However, only he knew that the power that had been accumulated in Sendai City for decades was finally about to see the light of day, and the blood and corpses of countless children would be thrown on these circles, these lines.
From Liangshan in the northeast of Sendai, to Luoying Street, to a hidden house somewhere in the upper district of Dongcheng, to a certain bridge pier on the river around the city of Wanqiao Feijia.
These are either vaults of gold and silver, or important strongholds of mutinies and wars, in short, these are capital, capital to fight someone.
Within a few hours, while the transfer of power in Sendai Castle had not yet been completed, these capitals were either transferred immediately, or proper arrangements were made to secretly replace the appropriate personnel, and at the worst they were to be destroyed in time.
When Lu Yunchang's hand left the long scroll, the subordinates behind him were almost gone.
Without verbal commands, or even hints from glances or gestures, they had already comprehended Lord Lu's meaning and all the arrangements.
Firmness, wisdom, loyalty, and a very important tacit understanding are perfectly reflected in the subordinates of the land transport chief.
This is the supreme state of being an official, or being handsome.
After making these arrangements, Lu Yun Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and then set out to arrange a more tricky matter.
He turned to look at the black-clothed young man who was still controlled by the government a few hours ago, and said softly, "The edict against the Nine Swords Gate, could it be a trap for the Duan thief?"
The young man obviously didn't expect that Lu Fu County, whom he respected the most, would ask him questions.
Lu Fu does not say that strategists are like rain, and there are many scribes who are smarter than himself, and Lord Lu asks him such a martial guard with such a question.
"The subordinates don't know" The young man paused slightly, and said calmly: "Even if it is a trap, the subordinates are not afraid." ”
A smile flashed in Lu Yunchang's eyes, encouraging the younger generation's smile.
He suddenly recalled what General Cheng had said in the carriage when he came to Sendai.
The biggest difference between civilian officials and military attaches is that civilian officials' battles and victories are in the dark, and they are even very taboo and deliberately shown. And the battle and victory of the military attache are in the clear, in the soldiers' fight with swords and guns, and in the eyes of the soldiers who do not regret death when they carry out their orders.
At this time, the eyes of the black-clothed young man beside him were the kind of eyes that had no regrets even though he died.
Lu Yunchang's heart had calmed down for decades, and suddenly exploded into an angry fire: "Duan Anguo, let your head be raised for a few more days!"
