Chapter 142: Mr. Sell Me a Few Pounds of Benevolence and Righteousness

The middle door of a slightly larger mansion will not be opened often, especially a deep-rooted tycoon like the Lu family, who will open the middle door if he doesn't just visit a guest, not to mention the county guard of Huting County, even the feudal officials like the Assassin of Yangzhou may not have this qualification and honor. It can be said that Zhongmen is the face of a family, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Lufu, counting the Qingke staff, hundreds of monks, although the housekeeper Lu Dongyang was sent to send the gang of people on the street, but many people are secretly watching every move here, but when the Beiliang light horse unloaded the door, the Lu Mansion did not dispatch the dead, but just walked out of a middle-aged Confucian with a pure yang scarf on his head and a cloth shoe, dressed plain and poor, followed by a little scholar with a beautiful temperament, holding an ancient sword in both hands, ebony scabbard, wrapped in South China Sea shark skin, and the sword aura of the general famous sword is different, this sword does not have the slightest chill when it is in the sheath。

The middle-aged man in Hanshi's costume looked at the housekeeper who died in the courtyard, and sighed softly, the middle gate had been removed in an uproar, and the captain Yuan Meng and the Confucian scholar in the courtyard looked at each other in pairs.

The middle-aged man in the Lu Mansion saluted slightly and said indifferently: "Today is the Lu Mansion that has lost its hospitality, and Lu Dongyang, as a steward, should be punished, but it will not be a capital crime." If you return the gift, you need to return the gift. ”

Yuan Meng knew the goods, as if facing a great enemy, and clenched the Beiliang knife in his hand. The murderous arrogance cultivated by fighting in a battle formation is different from the breath of the people in the rivers and lakes.

The Confucian scholar beside him who did not hold a book but held a sword shook his head, facing the sleepy old man in sheepskin Qiu on the carriage in the distance, this time he actually bowed to the end, and said when he bent down: "The junior Lu Baijie of Huting County, who was given the ancient sword Baxiu at the age of eleven, has been practicing swords for thirty-six years, and has taught Li seniors. ”

The old sword god slowly opened his eyes after hearing the word Ba Xiu, glanced at it, and nodded: "It is indeed the sword of Yang Yuzhang back then, this old boy is trapped in his own qualifications, his kendo attainments are mediocre, and his vision is not bad. It's just that Yang Yuzhang once said that he would not accept disciples in this life, how did you get the last casting sword of this Tangxi Sword Furnace?"

Lu Baijie, who reported his name in front of Li Chungang and performed the junior ceremony, smiled: "It is probably the younger generation's name Tangxi when he was young, and when he met his mentor Pingshui, he was given Baxiu Sword and half of the sword book. In the past 36 years, I have not dared to slack off for a day. The teacher admired the old-timers very much, saying that the two-sleeved green snake was enough to walk in the sword forest alone for 50 years. The younger generation has been fascinated for a long time, and today he has the courage to draw his sword, a small half of it is forced to be helpless as a child of the Lu family, and more is to sharpen his own 36 years of closed-door swordsmanship, if he fails, he begs the old-timers not to be angry with the Lu Mansion. ”

The old man in sheepskin Qiu said impatiently: "The tone of speech is carved out of the same mold as Yang Yuzhang, you can try it, if you only have Yang Yuzhang's swordsmanship, and you can't have the ingenuity of his swordsmanship, it is not worth the old man's shot." Who the hell wants to go with you hundred-legged insects who die but don't stiffen the gate valve clan, and when you are full, you will have to splash all the with bamboo poles and flies in the pit. The old man didn't believe in evil back then, so he suffered a big loss from Xu Cripple......"

Speaking of this, the old man immediately shut up, revealing his shortcomings is not Li Chungang's consistent style.

Lu Baijie smiled freely, stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped it on the scabbard, and the famous sword bully showed off half of the sheath.

At this moment, there was a familiar sound of broken footsteps behind her, and the woman shouted Uncle, Lu Baijie, the youngest and most idle of the Seven Jades of the Lu Clan in the Lake Pavilion, had a lamenting expression on his face, and wiped his fingers back, and the ancient sword of Baxiu that was about to appear in the world was immediately sheathed, and everyone only caught a glimpse of a brilliant blue edge. Lu Baijie is the youngest son of Lu Xuanhua, the last generation of the Lu family, compared to the eldest son of the head of this generation Lu Daolin is twenty years younger, Lu Baijie is born as a concubine, talented and intelligent, just indifferent to fame and fortune, and is not keen on the three immortals of Confucianism, infatuated with swordsmanship, has not yet married a wife, naturally has no heirs, he rarely appears in Lu Mansion, if there are important family members in Lu Mansion, who is really close to the widow, Lu Baijie is the only one, he has no children to a large extent Xu Zhihu as half a daughter, the signs of many disasters, if he is not secretly strangled, Lu has long been restless, not to mention others, that father is the daughter of the head of the Xu family, I have done too many times unclean hands and feet. is just concerned about her sister-in-law's identity, plus pity for the loss of her son from a white-haired person to a black-haired person, otherwise how could Lu Baijie allow such a scandal to happen in Lu Mansion.

There was such a major event as the unloading of the middle gate that was enough to alarm Luzhou, no matter how restrained Xu Zhihu was in the Lu Mansion, he still got the news as soon as possible, and only then did it be determined that his younger brother had arrived in Yangchun City, except for him, who had done such a shocking act? Blame, where did Xu Zhihu give up! It's just that Lu Mansion is his nominal home after all, and it is not good to make too much trouble, especially his father-in-law Lu Xuanlang can do anything for the sake of face, which celebrity does not cherish feathers? She smiled and shouted uncle to Lu Baijie again, in exchange for a helpless expression, Xu Zhihu was not polite to the elders who were rarely good at talking in this house, ran out of the gate, all the fierce light horses dismounted and knelt on one knee, and respectfully said Beiliang Fengzi Camp See the county lord, Xu Zhihu ignored it, looked left and right, and didn't see his brother's gentle smiling face that was always dreamed of by her, and was suddenly extremely disappointed, the maid bluebird could barely walk down the road, but her face was still ugly, and she was just about to kneel, Xu Zhihu, who showed a frightened look but quickly covered it up, stepped forward to support her, bit her lip, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Feng Nian?"

The blue bird said softly: "His Royal Highness went to Jiangxin County and said that he rushed back to Yangchun City overnight. ”

Xu Zhihu stomped his feet, his eyes red, and muttered, "This fool!"

She took a deep breath and said majestically, "All follow me into the house." ”

Lu Baijie, who is the same generation as Lu Daolin and Lu Xuanlang, will not stop him, who will dare to stop him? The prominent identity of Lu Baijie, the son of a wealthy man, is there, but his other identity is even more terrifying. The martial arts review specially lists a sword review, and Lu Baijie of Huting County, Yangzhou, is impressively listed. Commenting on Lu Tangxi's sword intent, although the sword name contains the word hegemon, it is a well-deserved royal sword!

The courtyard of Lufu is deep, it is a typical Jiangnan garden style, the scale of the area is lost to the other three family mansions, but this humble garden that has received six emperors is the most famous, the lake stone rockery in the garden comes from the hands of the chief stacked stones, a mountain and a peak, full of vitality, a stone and a seam, properly explained, praised by the emperor for a unique step in the south of the Yangtze River, to know that the Jiangnan garden of the road is a world, it can be seen that the ingenuity of the humble heart garden, the plaque couplet carved flowers and trees and stone tablets, is countless. Xu Zhihu personally led the way, and along the way, he briefly talked to Yu Youwei about the essence of garden construction. Lu Baijie and the sword-holding scholar hall, it happened that Li Chungang and Jiang Ni and Princess Jing'an were walking in the back, Lu Baijie, who did not come out of the sword today, asked the old sword god some kendo doubts, the old man had some good fate with half of the younger Yang Yuzhang, and he didn't have a good relationship, and although Lu Baijie's personality is a typical family atmosphere, but after all, people are like sword intentions, not old-fashioned and stubborn, and they talk very happily, Lu Baijie just glanced at Princess Pei from the corner of his eye, and didn't look again.

Xu Zhihu lives in the freehand garden in the northwest corner, the yard is not small, but the maids are pitiful, a little deserted, Yuan Meng's Fengzi camp is arranged in two courtyards not far away, to the gate of the courtyard, Lu Baijie made a gesture again before leaving.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Zhihu asked his personal maid Er Qiao to bring some chilled plum soup, and after sitting down, he asked, "What happened on the road?"

The bluebird told the truth what happened to the reeds.

The blue bird calmly narrated, which is thrilling, can it be described as simple twists and turns!

Xu Zhihu's face fluctuated with the ups and downs, and when he heard that His Royal Highness the Prince was safe and sound, he covered his chest and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Xu Zhihu turned his head to look at Pei Nanwei, who had not been able to sit down until now, this lawless younger brother was really outstanding, even the princess dared to rob it!

Throughout the afternoon to dusk, the freehand garden was calm, and Xu Zhihu was asking several women about Xu Fengnian, especially like to listen to some troubled things. Regarding the reasonable flat ground in Lu Fu, Xu Zhihu was not in the good mood to put a hot face on his cold ass. After a sumptuous dinner, the scholar came to knock on the door gently, he came from the smallest retreat garden in the Lu Mansion, Lu Baijie, who was regarded as the master of the sword fairy by the people of Luzhou, actually did not live much, and spent most of the year taking this scholar to visit the hermit. It was the maid Erqiao who opened the door, and for some reason, the two peers were very different, and at this moment there was a sense that they were not enemies.

Seeing Er Qiao, the scholar said coldly: "My master wants to see your young lady." ”

The atmosphere was already strange, and after this sentence was spoken, it became more and more cold.

Er Qiao snorted coldly, dropped a sentence of knowledge, turned around and left.

Looking at her back with clear eyes, the scholar secretly showed a trace of chagrin.

Lu Baijie, who was sitting in the lakeside pavilion, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "The young man knows what it feels like to be sad. ”

Xu Zhihu walked out of the garden, came to the pavilion and sat down, and said with some guilt: "I caused trouble to my uncle this time." ”

Lu Jianxian, who has no bad habits but has the ancient style and backbone of the descendants of the family, shook his head and said: "It's not enough to cause trouble to the uncle, but in this way, it will be even more difficult for you to be a person in the Lu Mansion in the future." ”

Xu Zhihu said indifferently: "What is this?" It's nothing more than smiling more fake in front of me and smiling colder behind me. ”

Lu Baijie sighed: " Let's not talk about the second steward Lu Dongyang, His Royal Highness the Prince instructed Hu Cong to commit murder in the downtown area, no matter how bad those people's conduct is, they are also scholars in Huting County, one of them is still a descendant of the service gate, if the middle door is not unloaded, the uncle can still go to the elder brother to say a few words, and the Lu Mansion will come forward to settle this mess, the big deal is to give those Xiaoshu some pension silver, as well as a few official offices, just use silver to buy life and anyone has complaints, but the official position of the 28th Classic, probably can also be gaged, this kind of trouble, for you, the uncle does not mind coming forward to make an exception once。 can remove the middle gate of the Lu Mansion and kill Lu Dongyang in front of the entire street Huting family, the second brother has a good face and does not fall into the well, which is the limit of patience. The Lu family has been up and down for hundreds of years, and has actually suffered a lot of humiliation, but the ups and downs in the past hundred years have gradually decreased, and today the humiliation is so far, I am afraid that the head of the family will be angry. ”

Xu Zhihu was silent.

Lu Baijie frowned and said: "Fat Tiger, here and now, just you and me, Uncle will say something directly." How can you, the younger brother of His Royal Highness, act so recklessly? Do you really not care about the opinions of the capital? You must know that no matter how powerful your father is, after all, he still established a political enemy like Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang who can be the giant beam of the dynasty. Moreover, he is going to push the four clans of Luzhou to the hostile side of Beiliang, Concubine Xu Shu was relegated to the cold palace because of you, if the emperor's majesty has his own thoughts, it would be good, if it is the queen's will, do you think the Xu family can still have some friendship left in the emperor's heart? What's more, who Xu Shufei is, don't you still know the way, the Gumu Xu clan has almost exhausted the manpower and material resources to pave the way for her over the years, and suffered from this catastrophe, the four clans of Luzhou, the Gumu Xu clan, who was originally close to my Lu clan, even if they will not part ways in the future, they are destined to no longer advance and retreat together as before, just like the violent death of Quan'er back then, and the black pot has to be borne by you. ”

Xu Zhihu looked up and smiled: "Get used to it." ”

Lu Baijie said bitterly: "You, you." ”

Xu Zhihu leaned on the red lacquer pillars, looked into the distance, and said softly: "My younger brother went to Jiangxin County to find Liu Liting's bad luck." ”

Lu Baijie said in a deep voice: "Is he still going to mess around? I'm really not afraid that he won't be able to end up? If he is fanned by someone with a heart, it will not only be a fame and reputation seeker who will pop out, and he will move his whole body, and even the entire Jiangnan Province will be fried, haven't you seen through the so-called Jiangnan Dao celebrities and celebrities over the years? !"

"Zhilu Dao, I've seen it through a long time ago. Qingzhou is re-interested and Yangzhou is renamed, who does not respect my father-in-law's sentence of 'where the righteousness is, although death is heavier than Mount Tai'. ”

Xu Zhihu narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said: "But my younger brother, probably because my father is the king of Beiliang, many people desperately want to hold things in their hands, he doesn't care much, but there are some things that even poor people don't care about so much, but he cares the most." Uncle, if you tell him these very reasonable words, he will probably not listen to them. ”

Lu Baijie, who has the reputation of Tangxi Sword Immortal, sighed: "If you stop him and don't enter the Lu Mansion, you will have an easier life in the future, but if you really stop him, not to mention whether you can stop it or not, you will definitely be the first to turn your face with your uncle." ”

Xu Zhihu laughed in disregard of etiquette: "Uncle, this sword immortal is really pitiful. ”

Lu Baijie looked at this girl's smile, and his eyes were a little sad.

The woman she liked back then also had such a natural smile, if she was more resolute and less moral and overall situation, would she have no regrets.

Where are there so many ifs in the world?

Lu Baijie closed his eyes.

Not far away, it was the scholar and the maid who were arguing with Mai Mangdi at the tip of the needle, could these two children also understand the unusualness of "it was only ordinary at that time" many years later?

After Lu Baijie left, Xu Zhihu sat in the pavilion until late at night.

When His Royal Highness the Prince appeared outside the Lu Mansion, the white horse dragged a cold corpse that had long been blurred with flesh and blood.

Obviously, it was dragged all the way from Jiangxin County to Huting County.

Lu Baijie, who was guarding the door, even though he had expected it, was still shocked when he saw this scene.

After Xu Fengnian dismounted, he looked up at Lu Baijie, because of the eldest sister Xu Zhihu, he had no ill feelings towards this Tangxi Sword Immortal, but when he saw Lu Baijie sticking to the hilt of the sword with one hand, and holding the ground with a Baxiu ancient sword, Xu Fengnian said expressionlessly: "Does Mr. Tangxi want to sell me a few catties of benevolence and righteousness?"

Lu Baijie snorted coldly and turned to leave.

In addition to shock, there are doubts in my heart.

How did this Beiliang Shizi come to be seriously injured?

Xu Zhihu ran all the way, leaving the maid Erqiao far behind, rushed out of the gate of the Lu Mansion, got very close, stopped, and said with a smile: "Ah, our sister and brother are in trouble again." ”

She didn't notice that behind Xu Fengnian, there was a whole piece of blood.

As he dragged the corpse through the city gates, the Assassin who was waiting for the rabbit to stand by a gecko on the top wall of the hole almost shattered his spine.

But Xu Fengnian just looked at her with red eyes and a daze, and said softly: "Sister, shall we go home?" My QT room has been opened!
