Chapter 685: Extraneous Branches

"Governor Changdu, when you open the door later, I think you know very well what to do. In the room, Lu Yifan stared at Chang Xu coldly, holding the confession that Chang Xu had just written, and said coldly: "I think Chang Dudu should not want to burn with Lu's jade."www.biquge.info ”

Chang Xu stood by the door with Liu Tang's support, looked back at Lu Yifan with trembling eyes, and nodded tremblingly: "Old decay...... The old man only hopes that Sect Master Lu can keep his promise, you and me...... The well water does not interfere with the river water, and the old man has never seen you in the northern Xinjiang. ”

"Tonight, I want to borrow the teleportation array of the Frontier Guard Mansion to use, as long as Lu leaves the northern frontier unconsciously, Chang Du Du can continue your glory and wealth. Lu Yifan said, at this moment, he just wanted to rush to Jinling City to find out, and he had no intention of bargaining with Chang Xu at all.

"This ......"

"You have to borrow it, and if you don't borrow it, you have to borrow. Lu Yifan said coldly, "You can go out, I will go to the Border Guard Mansion to find you in the evening." ”

Chang Xu took a deep look at Lu Yifan, and after being silent for a long time, he could only let out an endless sigh in his mouth, although he repeatedly received orders from Jinling City to hunt down and kill Lu Yifan, but Chang Xu never really thought of encountering this killing god. Today, his handle was held in Lu Yifan's hands, and he had lost the opportunity to choose, for his hard-won glory and wealth, Chang Xu could only secretly pray in his heart that Lu Yifan could be sent away smoothly tonight, and he would never make any more extraneous branches.

Outside the room, Chang Wei and the others were waiting anxiously, and when they saw Chang Xu open the door and come out, they hurriedly surrounded him. Chang Wei looked at Chang Xu, whose face was purple, and asked in a low voice: "Master, ...... are you?"

Chang Xu suddenly waved his hand to interrupt Chang Wei's words, his eyes looked around the courtyard gloomily, and finally landed on Liu Zitang, who was nervous, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort in his mouth.

"Go home. ”

Chang Xu prominently highlighted two words in his mouth, and then left Liu's house with Chang Wei and the two northern border guards quickly, and the eldest lady, who was originally crying and making trouble, did not dare to entangle too much after seeing Chang Xu's extremely ugly face, and quickly got up and trotted all the way out.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Liu Jitang hurriedly asked Liu Tang, who had a complicated gaze, "What's going on?"

Liu Tang didn't pay attention to Liu Jitang, stood in the courtyard and hesitated for a moment before he quickly chased out, shouting while chasing: "Du Du, Du Du, the villain is also helpless in this matter......

Chasing out of the door, Chang Xu turned his head to look at Liu Tang who was at a loss, and said lightly: "Okay, you Liu Tang, you are really good at it, and you have a future." ”

"Governor, this matter ......"

"You've done a good job!" Chang Xu suddenly laughed loudly, "Now even the governor of Pontus has to listen to you, aren't you good enough?" Catch them all for me and bring them back to the Frontier Guard Mansion, and the Governor of Pontus will strictly deal with these brutes with no eyes!"

Chang Xu and his entourage, when they come, the scenery is infinite, and when they leave, they are disgraced. provoked the people of Shijia Village to snicker, I believe that it will not be long before it will spread throughout the northern borders, and when the time comes, Chang Xudu Governor will make this big joke I am afraid that women and children will know.

"It's over, it's all over this time. Completely different from the elation of Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang's brother and sister, Liu Tang's face was like ashes at the moment, and he muttered secretly while walking towards his courtyard, "My Liu Tang's good luck seems to be completely over......

"Dad, this old man is just leaving?" Liu Jitang stepped forward excitedly and said with a smile, "It seems that the brother inside really knows the senior official of Jinling City, and scared the old man away." Liu Zitang had already told Liu Jitang what Lu Yifan coaxed her, the two brothers and sisters were very simple people, and now when they saw Chang Xu returning empty-handed, they were even more convinced of Lu Yifan's words.

"What is this old man? What is that brother? You will speak so openly in the future, beware that Lao Tzu cuts out your tongue. Liu Tang was already angry, but when he saw Liu Jitang's triumphant appearance, he was even more displeased, and scolded angrily, "In the future, you just take care of your sister at home, and you have nothing to do outside to cause trouble for me." ”

"Dad, what did I get into trouble?" Liu Jitang said with an aggrieved face, but he didn't know that the "trouble" Liu Tang said was referring to the fact that the two brothers and sisters rescued Lu Yifan, who was seriously injured and was about to die.

"Dad, where is Brother Tian?" Liu Zitang stepped forward and pointed to the door of the room and asked, "Why isn't Brother Tian inside?" Just now she saw Chang Xu returning in defeat, so she ran in to thank Lu Yifan as soon as possible, but she didn't think that when she entered the room, Lu Yifan was gone, so she hurriedly ran out to ask Liu Tang.

Liu Tang was stunned when he heard this, and then walked into the room quickly with Liu Jitang, looked at the palm-sized place several times and didn't find Lu Yifan's shadow, looking at Liu Zitang with an anxious face, Liu Tang couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh in his mouth, and said, "Don't look for it, he's already gone." ”

"What! gone?" Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang were startled at the same time, Liu Zitang hurriedly asked, "When did you leave? Where did you go? Wasn't Brother Tian still here just now?"

"Oh, he left in a hurry, and before leaving, he asked my father to tell you that he would like to thank your brothers and sisters for saving their lives, and that he will definitely come back to repay you one day. Liu Tang prevaricated, he naturally knew that Lu Yifan was thinking about Han Ling'er in his heart, and he was already anxious, where could he still care about saying goodbye to his two children?

Hearing Liu Tang's words, Liu Jitang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile while patting his chest: "Fortunately, he still remembers to repay us, otherwise I wouldn't have anywhere to find those ten boxes of jewelry." Different from Liu Jitang's reaction, Liu Zitang's whole person seemed to have suddenly lost his soul, sitting at the table in a daze, holding the teacup used by Lu Yifan tightly with both hands, and his eyes were a little sluggish.

"Zi'er, what's wrong with you?" asked Liu Tang pretending to be puzzled.

"Dad, my sister is sick. Liu Jitang replied with a bitter face.

Liu Tang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is it sick? What kind of illness is it?"

"Dad, don't worry, in fact, my sister is suffering from lovesickness!" Liu Jitang looked at the absent-minded Liu Zitang and explained softly, according to Liu Jitang's idea, Liu Zitang would definitely refute if he said such a thing, but surprisingly Liu Zitang at this moment turned a deaf ear, still sitting there in a daze, without any reaction.

This scene made Liu Jitang and Liu Tang's father and son sigh at the same time, although they were worried about Liu Zitang in their hearts, but it was a pity that this kind of thing still had to be tied to the bell, and they couldn't help it.

"Dad, Brother Tian...... Who the hell is it?" Liu Zitang suddenly asked in a trance, "You must know it, right? Can you tell me where his family lives?"

"Zi'er, Dad knows your current mood, you saved his life but he didn't quit, this move is indeed inappropriate, but you don't have to be too persistent, after all, you and him are just a meeting in Pingshui. Liu Tang said lightly.

"If my father doesn't tell me, then I'll ask Liu Er. Liu Zitang suddenly stood up and asked with a resolute face, "Yesterday, I saw Liu Er's expression and seemed to recognize Brother Tian, and he should also know the news of Brother Tian." ”

"It's the same if you ask Liu Er, he won't ...... either" Without waiting for Liu Tang to answer subconsciously, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he saw Liu Tang's eyes glare, and asked suspiciously: "Where is the second son?"

"I stopped him outside and didn't let him in, but I didn't see him when I went out. Liu Jitang replied absentmindedly, "Maybe I've gone somewhere to fool around again." ”

"Fart!" Liu Tang said angrily, "What can he fool around in this poor mountain and remote area?"

"Just now the second master said that he was bored and wanted to walk around, and then I saw him walking towards the entrance of the village, and I haven't seen him since. A northern guard outside the courtyard hurriedly replied.

"The direction of the entrance of the village...... I haven't seen him again......" Liu Tang frowned and carefully recalled the words of the North Border Guard, these ten villages are such a big place, and there are more than twenty North Border Guards he brought in the village, and they can take a look at every corner of the Ten Villages by walking around the village, if they didn't see Liu Er, then Liu Twenty ** was not in the village, and suddenly Liu Tang's face changed, and he exclaimed urgently, "It's bad!

After that, without waiting for Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang to ask, Liu Tang had already rushed out of Liu's house quickly, beckoning his subordinates to run towards the entrance of the village in a hurry.

"Brother. Liu Zitang suddenly got up and grabbed the confused Liu Jitang and said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

Liu Jitang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Let's go ......"

"Do you still want those ten boxes of jewelry?" Liu Jitang suddenly asked, "There is no basis for his words, why don't you find him and write us a note?"

"That's right!" Liu Jitang looked straight, nodded violently and said, "There is no basis for what you say, and you can prove it by standing up." It's still my sister's thoughtfulness, that kid has been eating and drinking at our house for more than half a year, and I can't let him just pat his ass and leave. After that, Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang glanced at each other, and then happily followed the footsteps of Liu Tang and the others to catch up.

......

In the evening, the camp in northern Xinjiang.

A thin figure stood outside the camp gate, the sun was setting, the cold wind was gradually rising, and the wind and sand swept up made the figure tremble a little. In front of this man, there were also four soldiers guarding the camp gate, staring at him fiercely, obviously for the northern Xinjiang battalion, this person was an uninvited guest.

"The general told you to come in and talk. A moment later, a sergeant walked briskly outside the camp gate and commanded the thin figure, "Follow me!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The thin figure nodded respectfully and bowed his waist, like a dog's leg, such a hateful dog's leg is unique in Northern Xinjiang, this person is Liu Er, who Liu Tang is looking for everywhere. At noon, Liu Er quietly left Shijia Village, found a fast horse and galloped all the way towards the camp in Northern Xinjiang, and the purpose of his trip was very simple, but two words: informant.

Liu Er followed the sergeant all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, the tent was brightly lit, and a young man in cyan armor was sitting behind the handsome case, and he was reading the scroll with interest by the light of the lamp. The man's long sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the bronze face is angular and angular, the figure is not burly but looks very strong, although he is in a high position, it is still difficult to get rid of a trace of childishness between his eyebrows, so that outsiders can't guess that he must not be very old, and he is in his twenties. It is also strange to say, the general is not very old, and the age of the adjutant generals standing next to him seems to be very young, obviously the first thing this young general did after coming to the Northern Xinjiang camp was to give the previous Northern Xinjiang camp a big change, and replaced the old people in the army with more than a dozen young henchmen brought by himself, so it is not difficult to judge that although the new general is young, but the way of doing things is quite old, even if he was not a high-ranking court official, he should also be a young man who has been in charge of a faction.

As soon as the "General ......" entered the Chinese army's tent, Liu Er felt an invisible pressure that made his legs weak and his mouth dry. "Poof" knelt on the ground with a bang, and kowtowed three times in a row to the general after the handsome case, "The villain is Liu Er of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, and it is really a privilege to see the general today......

"Your Excellency doesn't need to say anything politely. The general never put down the scroll in his hand, but still read it with relish, and replied casually, "I heard that you have something important to look for me?

"Take ...... Bring it?" Liu Er was stunned when he heard this, and asked timidly, "I don't know what the general wants me to bring?"

"Of course, it's a secret letter from the governor of Changxu. The general chuckled, "Didn't Governor Chang Xu send you?"

"No! It's not that the governor sent the villain, it's the villain himself who has something important to tell the general. Liu Er hurriedly explained. Hearing Liu Er's words, the general finally put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head and looked at Liu Er with interest, "Do you have something important to tell me?

"I ......" Liu Er was asked and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Come on, hit out with sticks!" The young lieutenant general standing on the side shouted sharply, and in an instant, seven or eight sergeants with long sticks in their hands quickly rushed in, and Liu Er, who was at a loss, retreated out. The general glanced at Liu Er, who was being beaten with a stick, and wailed, and picked up the scroll in his hand again to continue reading, but just before the general reconcentrated, Liu Er's shout suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"General, I want to tell you about Lu Yifan......"

"Wait a minute!" The general stood up abruptly and stared at Liu Er, who was beaten with a stick, and asked suspiciously, "Who did you just say about it?"

Lu ...... Lu Yifan!" Liu Er stretched his neck and shouted, and hurriedly blocked him with his arms as he spoke, as if he was afraid that the stick next to him would suddenly hit him.

"Lu Yifan?" The name made a hint of playfulness quietly appear between the young general's eyebrows, "Have you seen Lu Yifan?"

"See. Liu Er nodded desperately and said, "The living one is Lu Yifan, not only I have seen it, but even the governor has seen it today." The villain just came here when the governor saw Lu Yifan......"

"Where's the others?" asked the general.

"Shijia Village!" Liu Er blurted out, and then hurriedly corrected, "I was in Shijia Village in the morning, and I don't know now." ”

"Where is the governor of Changxu?" the general asked again.

Liu Er spoke incoherently for a long time, and finally decided that Chang Xu decided to marry Liu Zitang, and sent Liu Tang and himself back to Shijia Village to prepare and see Lu Yifan later, and told the general 1510, and the general suddenly had a look of thought in his eyes after listening to Liu Er's words.

"Xiao Wu, what's the wind outside?" the general asked a cold-looking lieutenant general beside him with a solemn expression, this person's name was Leng Wu, and he was the confidant brought by the young general when he took office.

"Back to the general's words, the northern Xinjiang is calm today, and there is no news of Lu Yifan. I see that this man is a roe deer, and he is talking nonsense. Leng Wu replied lightly. Hearing this, Liu Er immediately panicked, and hurriedly defended: "General, what I said is the truth, you must believe me!"

"This man is not good looking, but he is not going to lie to me. The general said slowly, "First, his identity should be true in the clothes of the Northern Frontier Guard, second, if he is mediocre, it would be tantamount to killing himself if he deceives me, and third, and most importantly, I can't think of why he lied to me." He came to me to report that he was just trying to get some reward. ”

"General Mingjian. Liu Er nodded again and again as if he had seen a living Buddha who saved the world.

"Moreover, Chang Xu, an old man, has always been timid and afraid of things, and he has always done things without seeking merit but without fault, so even if he sees Lu Yifan, it is very likely that he will suppress this matter and keep it a secret. The general's eyes flashed, and he analyzed unhurriedly, "Chang Xu knows very well what kind of character Lu Yifan is, if he really wants to fight to the death, even if he has a thousand northern border guards around him to protect him, it will be easy for Lu Yifan to kill him, so Chang Xu must first think of saving his life, and the best way to save his life is to open one eye and close one eye, and he should have never seen Lu Yifan." ”

"What does the general mean is that the reason why Northern Xinjiang is so calm now is because Chang Xu deliberately concealed the discovery of Lu Yifan?" Leng Wu asked in surprise.

"Who else knows about Lu Yifan?" the general did not answer, but looked up and asked Liu Er.

"When I met Lu Yifan yesterday, my uncle Liu Tang didn't let me reveal his identity in public, so I think only Uncle Tang, me and Chang Xu Dudu should know now. ”

"That's right. The general nodded, "Do you remember the news from Jinling City today?"

Leng Wu nodded and said, "What the general said is that Su Xie wants to marry Han Ling'er?"

"Yes, now Chang Xu wants to calm things down, while Lu Yifan wants to make less trouble and rush to Jinling City as soon as possible to find out, and they will naturally not make any big noise. The general chuckled, "The marriage between Su Xie and Han Ling'er is scheduled for the first day of the seventh month, and today is the fifteenth day of June, even if Lu Yifan has two more legs, he can't go back." Therefore, he will definitely return to Jinling City with the help of the teleportation array. And in the vast Northern Xinjiang, there are only two places in the Border Guard Mansion and the Northern Frontier Camp in Dingbei Town, where do you say Lu Yifan will be now?"

"Wouldn't it?" Leng Wu exclaimed in disbelief, "What does the general mean that Chang Xu is secretly going to let Lu Yifan go back to Jinling City?"

"As long as Lu Yifan returns to Jinling City, then who knows where he came from? Naturally, this matter can no longer be traced to Chang Xu's head, this old man is really good at making peace for his own peace. The general sneered, "Lu Yifan must make a deal with him, Lu Yifan will not be embarrassed by Chang Xu, the condition is that Chang Xu will use the teleportation array to help Lu Yifan return to Jinling City smoothly." It must be so!"

"Why is the general so sure?" asked Leng Wu puzzled.

Hearing this, the young general changed his previous wisdom, a thick look of memory appeared on his face, and he said to himself faintly: "Because I have dealt with Lu Yifan many years ago, I know his style and methods of doing things very well. This person has always boasted of valuing love and righteousness, so he will definitely not abandon Han Ling'er in Jinling City. Hmph!"
