Chapter 495: Confusing Truth with Falsehood
readx;
At noon, Kinmen Pass, Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's been a long time since it's been so lively here, and the traffic in front of the mansion gate actually occupies the entire street, and the more than 2,000 people gathered outside the mansion gate are all Soul Sect disciples dressed in uniform clothes. Although the rain at Jinmen Pass was still pouring down, these Soul Sect disciples stood up straight one by one, and none of them had an umbrella, but each of them was wearing a hat on their heads.
In the middle of the procession, the tight carriages wrapped in tarpaulins stopped quietly. And at the front of the whole team, surrounded by several horses, is a gorgeously decorated eight-**** carriage, the outside of the car is covered by black gauze, and through the black gauze you can vaguely see a looming figure. The people on the horse were none other than Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun and other Soul Sect elders and Dharma protectors, and the people sitting in the car could think of it without asking that it was Han Ling'er who was disguised as Lu Yifan.
At this moment, dozens of southern border guards outside the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion stood with knives in hand, staring at the group of uninvited guests in front of them one by one. Before they got Zhu Wushou's order, they didn't dare to act rashly. Therefore, from the time the Soul Sect came here until now, except for a few words of inquiry from the other party's origin at the beginning, the two sides have not committed any crimes.
"Haha...... Sect Master Lu came to Jinmen Pass, Zhu missed the distance, I hope you will forgive me!"
Suddenly, there was a dry laugh in the air, and then I saw a figure flying across the sky, and in a few flashes it had landed firmly in front of the gate of the mansion, and the southern border guard who was there hurriedly stepped forward to open a paper umbrella for him. Not long after Zhu Wushou appeared, Zheng Xiang also rushed here with more than a dozen southern border guards.
"In the Governor of the Frontier Guard Mansion in the Lower Southern Frontier, Zhu Wushou!" As soon as Zhu Wushou appeared, he politely arched his hand to the figure in the eight-**** carriage in front of him, and his face always had the dry smile on the scene, "Dare to ask the Sect Master Lu in the car tent?"
"It's easy to say!" In the face of Zhu Wushou's greetings, Han Ling'er in the car did not answer, but Liu Sandao, who was riding on a horse in front, hugged Zhu Wushou a little with a playful face, "Since Lord Zhu already knows our origins, I don't know if we can arrange food and lodging for our sect master and the disciples in my sect, it has been raining heavily in Kinmen Pass for several days, and we have suffered a lot."
Saying that, Liu Sandao casually reached out and grabbed the robe on his body, and suddenly a puddle of water squeezed out along his fingers.
"Sect Master Lu has come from afar, how dare Zhu be lazy?" hehe......" Zhu Wushou said and glanced at the dozen or so carriages wrapped in rain cloths in the Soul Sect's convoy with a deep meaning, and then asked with a light smile, "Why don't you let the brothers of the Soul Sect enter the mansion for dinner first, and these carriages will be handed over to my subordinates and sent directly to the backyard for settlement?"
"No need!" Xie Yun said coldly, "We will take care of our own things, we appreciate Lord Zhu's kindness, but now let's invite our sect master into the mansion first!"
"That's fine!" Zhu Wushou didn't show too eagerness, and didn't even show a little dissatisfaction on his face, only to see him smile and stretch out his hand to make a 'please' gesture to the frame in front of him, and then said loudly, "Sect Master Lu, please get out of the car!" Zhu Wushou said and glanced at Zheng Xiang beside him, Zheng Xiang, who understood it, took a paper umbrella casually, and then walked towards Han Ling'er's carriage with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice as he walked: " Zheng Xiang, the banner master of the Border Guard Mansion in the lower southern Xinjiang, has come to hold an umbrella for the Lu sect master!"
"Huh!" Just as Zheng Xiang was about to step in front of the carriage, Ji Yuan suddenly turned over and dismounted and stopped directly in front of Zheng Xiang, and then reached out with a smile and 'received' the paper umbrella in Zheng Xiang's hand, and said with a light smile, "This kind of trivial matter will not bother Lord Zheng, just come with me!" After that, Ji Yuan didn't wait for Zheng Xiang to answer, so he went straight to the carriage with the umbrella open, and said in a respectful whisper: "Sect Master, get off!"
With Ji Yuan's shout, the gauze tent outside the carriage was finally opened, and then I saw a white and slender hand poking out from the inside first, and then after the gauze tent was opened, Han Ling'er, who was dressed as a man, walked out of the carriage elegantly and calmly. Although Yulou had a fake elixir that could help Han Ling'er change her appearance, it was abandoned by Han Ling'er because it couldn't last long. In Han Ling'er's opinion, although Lu Yifan is very famous, there are not many people who have actually seen him, rather than relying on pills to change his appearance every once in a while, it is better to directly disguise himself as a man, so that at least he will not be seen as flawed because of the expiration of the medicine.
Although Han Linger is dressed as a woman, she really has a bit of a man's heroic spirit at first glance, her hair is neatly combed in a bun at the back of her head, and a hosta is casually inserted in the bun, which is not a little casual in the chic. A white robe sets off her deliberately concealed figure to be extraordinarily slender, her delicate and petite face is hard to draw a few edges and corners by her, the willow leaves turn into sword eyebrows, apricot eyes become starry, a straight nose, red mouth and white teeth, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a quite handsome little student. Especially the domineering spirit that Han Ling'er inadvertently revealed between her gestures was actually more like the master of a sect than Lu Yifan himself.
The reason why Han Linger has this temperament is inseparable from the fact that she is Han Xiao's daughter, the so-called tiger father has no dog girl, coupled with Han Linger's self-respecting 'eldest lady' temper formed since childhood, also makes her current 'master of a sect' look natural, and there is not too much shadow of deliberate pretense.
No one in the entire Southern Frontier Guard Mansion had really seen Lu Yifan, but in their impression, Lu Yifan should at least be a burly and majestic man, so when Han Ling'er appeared, everyone, including Zhu Wushou, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although the people in the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion were in a trance, the two thousand Soul Sect disciples did not slow down for a moment, and the moment Han Ling'er stepped out of the carriage, the Soul Sect disciples actually knelt on the ground one after another to give salutes, and Liu Sandao, Xie Yun and others even turned over and dismounted, bowing slightly to Han Linger. Not to mention Han Ling'er herself, just based on the respect shown by others, there is no room for others to dare to have the slightest suspicion. Even if there were, I would never dare to ask in public.
"Governor Zhu, I'm bothered!" Han Ling'er slowly walked in front of Zhu Wushou accompanied by Ji Yuan and the others, facing Zhu Wushou with a suspicious face, Han Ling'er just smiled slightly, and said lightly, "But it won't be too long, as soon as the sky clears, we will leave Jinmen Pass!" Han Linger's voice was deliberately thickened by her, but it still sounded quite crisp.
"I have long heard that Sect Master Lu is a hero and a young man, and when I saw Sect Master Lu today, it was even more than Zhu expected...... Being young really surprised Zhu
Quite strangely, compared to Han Linger, Zhu Wushou's voice is not coarse, and the conversation between the two of them is difficult to make people suspect that Han Linger is a woman disguised as a man, but Zhu Wushou has already reached out to grab Han Linger's arm seemingly casually, but just when his hand was about to touch Han Linger's sleeve, Liu Sandao's big hand quickly poked out of nowhere, and directly grabbed Zhu Linger's wrist, and the unshakable force made it difficult for Zhu Linger's hand to probe half a point.
"Hehe, I don't know what you're surprised about, Master Zhu, and what are you happy about?" Liu Sandao turned a blind eye to Zhu Wushou's slightly gloomy face, and instead took the initiative to get close to Zhu Wushou with a playful face, Zheng Xiang on the side wanted to step forward when he saw this, but was glared back by Zhu Wushou with his eyes.
"Oh! I'm amazed that the master of the dignified Soul Sect is so young and handsome! I'm glad that such an immortal talent has finally appeared in my Sacred Domain for hundreds of years, presumably in time, the Sect Master of Lu will be able to bring my Sacred Realm back to the peak of the Five Domains like the Western Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai!" Zhu Wushou said and tried to break free of his wrist a little harder, but Liu Sandao's hand never moved, which showed that Zhu Wushou was not as good as Liu Sandao in terms of strength. Seeing this, Zhu Wushou couldn't help but smile slightly, and said loudly, "It's windy and rainy outside, let's hurry into the house and talk about it before it's too late!" Saying that, Zhu Wushou also glanced at his right hand that was being held by Liu Sandao, intentionally or unintentionally, at this moment his fingers were already a little numb by Liu Sandao, although he didn't say anything, but the slightly embarrassing laughter in his mouth could already be understood. Zhu Wushou smiled embarrassedly, but Liu Sandao smiled quite freely, but the two of them had secretly competed for a while between looking at each other and smiling. Liu Sandao slowly let go of Zhu Wushou's wrist, and Zhu Wushou's heart was slightly relieved.
"Hehe, Sect Master Lu, there is a saying that Zhu is curious, but I don't know if to ask?" Entering the main hall, Zhu Wushou and Han Ling'er sat opposite each other, while the others stood behind the two of them.
"Zhu Dudu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" Han Ling'er's answer was unfazed, plain as water.
"Kinmen Pass is thousands of miles away from Xihuang Mountain, but I don't know why Sect Master Lu why did you bring people here?" Zhu Wushou said deliberately tentatively.
"Although my Soul Sect has shallow qualifications and weak strength, it is also quite interested in the prosperity of the sect in the Five Domains. To tell you the truth, I want to go to the Holy Realm to pay homage to the legendary Five Domains Spirit Banquet this time!" Han Ling'er replied in an orderly manner, "Now that I have just arrived at Jinmen Pass, I hope that Zhu Dudu will take care of me!"
Hearing Han Ling'er's words, Zhu Wushou laughed and agreed: "Sect Master Lu, please rest assured, although I am far away in the southern Xinjiang, I can also hear a little bit about the affairs of the court! In addition to His Majesty the Emperor, what Zhu admires most is Lord Lu and Lord Han, who are both loyal and righteous, and can see Lord Lu's son-in-law and Lord Han's son-in-law, how can Zhu be lazy? Sect Master Lu, you just have to take people to rest in my mansion for a few more days, and when the weather is clear, I will definitely send someone to personally escort you out of the customs!"
"In this way, there will be the Governor of Lao Zhu!" Saying that, Han Ling'er pretended to be tired and yawned, and Zhu Wushou hurriedly got up and said with a smile when he saw this: "Sect Master Lu and all the friends of the Soul Sect might as well go down and rest for a while, take a hot shower and change into dry robes, and after the banquet is set up, I will order someone to invite you! I don't know what Sect Lu thinks?"
Zhu Wushou was warm, but Han Linger was naturally happy but disrespectful. Therefore, after she gave Zhu Wushou a salute, she slowly left the main hall accompanied by Liu Sandao and others. But Zhu Wushou kept standing in the hall with a smile until Han Ling'er and the others were out of sight, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"My lord!" Zheng Xiang, who was standing on the side, asked softly, "Are these people real or fake?"
"Ten * is true!" Zhu Wushou replied coldly, "Just now I wanted to test this Lu Yifan's strength, but I was suddenly blocked by that Liu Sandao. And in the competition with Liu Sandao, the governor of Pontus did not get the slightest advantage!"
"Hiss!" As soon as Zhu Wushou said this, several banner masters in the hall were secretly taken aback. They all understood that if Zhu Wushou failed to bargain, it meant that the other party definitely had real skills, and generally such a master was already famous, so how could he deign to pretend to others? Therefore, Zhu Wushou's conclusion that Han Ling'er and his gang were true was also reasonable
"My lord, if they are true, then it means ......"
"Did you find the ground mouse?" Before Zheng Xiang could finish speaking, Zhu Wushou suddenly interrupted him, and then he squinted his eyes slightly at Zheng Xiang, as if to remind Zheng Xiang not to talk nonsense.
"Not yet!" Zheng Xiang was asked by Zhu Wushou, and couldn't help but bow his head in shame.
As soon as he heard Zheng Xiang's answer, Zhu Wushou's eyes suddenly burst out with a terrifying light, and then he slowly approached Zheng Xiang's side, gritted his teeth and said in his ear: "If the ground rat is not eliminated for a day, the heart of the governor of Pontus will not be at peace for a day! The ground rat must die, and it is also necessary to find out who else has seen the jade post, and no one can be let go!"
"The meaning of the governor is understood, but I am worried that the rats may have already escaped from the Golden Gate......"
"No!" Zhu Wushou sneered confidently, "I dare to conclude that he must still be in Jinmen Pass now, and the ten* is hiding in the Golden Gate Station!"
"Is the governor suspicious of Lu Tian's gang?" Zheng Xiang is not a fool, when Zhu Wushou mentioned the Kinmen Post Station, Zheng Xiang first remembered Lu Yifan and the others who were now living in the post station.
"Those people are all first-class masters, it's really doubtful!" Zhu Wushou said and stretched out his hand to gently stroke his two beards, "The governor of Pontus always thinks that this group of people is prepared, even if it has nothing to do with ground mice, it must not be as simple as passing by for business! Tell Half the Sky for me, you must keep an eye on Lu Tian and his gang for me, if they run away, I will only ask!"
"Yes!" Zheng Xiang first agreed simply, but then he changed his words and said hesitantly, "Dudu, but I always feel that this woman is not very credible, today she has repeatedly protected that Lu Tian, I am worried that she will ......"
"I know very well what kind of thing Half the Sky is, and I didn't plan to let her do anything important from beginning to end!" Zhu Wushou sneered, "I don't care if she is lustful or greedy for Lu Tian's money, in short, just take care of them for me, don't run away, as for other things, the governor will naturally make other arrangements! Maybe this time I thought too much......" In the end, Zhu Wushou actually muttered to himself, " This Lu Tian is just a clown, how to keep Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect at the moment is the top priority!"
"The Governor means ......"
"Report!"
Just when Zheng Xiang was halfway through the question, a rapid news suddenly came from outside the hall, and then I saw a rain-covered southern border guard running into the hall in a hurry and kneeling directly in front of Zhu Wushou.
"Governor Qiyu, I have a guest asking to see you!" said the southern border guard respectfully.
"Don't you see that Pontus is talking about something important at the moment, something that has no eyesight!" Zhu Wushou said and glared fiercely at the southern guard, and then asked with displeasure, "Who wants to see me?"
"The man didn't give his name, but said that he was a friend of the Governor, and that he had come ......from the north," the southern border guard hurriedly replied with a blank face, "By the way, he also said that he had sent a jade slip to the Governor before......"
"Zheng Xiang, you will greet Lu Yifan and them for me first, the governor of Pontus still has important matters, and then he will arrive!"
Before the words fell, Zhu Wushou's whole person had disappeared into the hall strangely.
