"Bang!"

Early in the morning, the entire Southern Frontier Guard Mansion was completely awakened from the silence by a loud noise in the main hall, and some good southern border guards and subordinate servants looked into the main hall from a distance, as if they wanted to see what was going on in the hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Old thing, you'd better give our sect master a reasonable explanation for this thing, otherwise Lao Tzu will demolish your broken mansion today!"

In the hall, Liu Sandao stood in front of Zhu Wushou with a hideous face, and at this moment, on the tea table next to Zhu Wushou, there was still a bamboo pipe. The loud noise just now was the sound of Liu Sandao slamming the bamboo pipe on the table. And Zheng Xiang, who was standing behind Zhu Wushou, couldn't help but change his face when he saw this bamboo pipe, because this thing was the bamboo pipe he brought to Yingyue Garden yesterday to try to blow it away.

Last night, Zhu Wushou ordered all the black-clothed killers who died in the Reflecting Moon Garden to be carried away, and quietly cleaned up all the traces in the Reflecting Moon Garden, thinking that it was impossible to leave any evidence for the people of the Soul Sect, but he didn't expect Liu Sandao to come up with this. In fact, this bamboo pipe was picked up by Lu Yifan, and when Zhu Wushou sent someone to tidy up Yingyue Garden, this bamboo pipe was already in Han Ling'er's room. So those who picked up the pieces didn't notice it.

At this moment, in the main hall, Zhu Wushou and Han Ling'er sat opposite each other in the hall, while the others were standing behind the two of them, looking at Han Ling'er's gloomy expression at this moment and the unkind eyes of Ji Yuan and the others, it was not difficult to guess that a large group of people from the Soul Sect came to see Zhu Wushou so early in the morning for the purpose of coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Facing a pair of unrelenting Liu Sandao, Zhu Wushou's reaction was quite calm, only to see that he first pretended to be curious and took the bamboo pipe in his hand and looked at it carefully, so he asked with a blank smile: "Dare to ask Sect Master Lu, what is this?"

"Who are you asking?" Liu Sandao directly blocked in front of Zhu Wushou, covering his gaze at Han Ling'er, and then said with a grim face, "This should be Lao Tzu asking you, but you should tell me what this thing is?"

"This ......" I have to say that Zhu Wushou's disguise is really too good, through his innocent eyes and blank expression, no one will believe that this matter will have anything to do with him, "Where do you start with this? I don't know where you got this thing?"

"The door of our suzerain's room

Ji Yuan said in a deep voice, "And I also found that there are traces of being stabbed on the windows of each of us, and the contents of this bamboo pipe, I think it's better for Zhu Dudu to smell it himself!"

Zhu Wushou nodded puzzledly, and then he really sent the bamboo pipe to his nose, and sniffed it carefully, but soon he coughed and reached out to pinch his nose, and said in shock: "This ...... This seems to be a drug!"

"That's good!" Ji Yuan nodded and admitted, "It's filled with ecstasy, although we only found this one bamboo pipe, but we're already sure that someone sneaked into the courtyard where we lived late last night and blew it into each of our rooms!"

"How could there be such a thing?" Zhu Wushou was shocked and then angry when he heard this, and then saw him turn his head suddenly, staring at the pale Zheng Xiang with an angry face, and asked sharply, "What's the matter? Could it be that someone broke into the border guard mansion last night?"

"Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing?" Liu Sandao stepped directly on the table with his big foot, and with a wave of his hand, he put the long knife on his high raised legs, and then saw him lean down slightly, put his cruel face close to Zhu Wushou's dazed face, and gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for being stunned, Lao Tzu wouldn't have slept so dead yesterday!"

"That's good!" Qin Qingyu echoed coldly, "If someone wants to make any moves, it is impossible to hide from so many of us, unless we are stunned in advance!"

"This ......" Zhu Wushou hurriedly stood up when he heard this, raised his hand at Han Ling'er and swore an oath, "I don't know anything about this matter! Sect Master Lu rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end and give an explanation to Sect Master Lu and you, if I find out that there are really people with bad intentions, the Governor of Bendu will never spare me." After saying this, Zhu Wushou hurriedly changed the conversation and hurriedly asked Han Ling'er, "Dare to ask Sect Master Lu, did you lose anything last night?"

"No!" Han Ling'er didn't seem to want to deal with Zhu Wushou at all, but replied coldly, "I'm glad that I can still sit here and talk to Zhu Dudu about this!"

"That's good!That's good!" Zhu Wushou smiled while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "It's good if you don't have anything to lose." There is such a thing in my house, and Zhu has an unshirkable responsibility. Sect Master Lu, please rest assured, this matter will never be settled like this, this thief dares to sneak into my border guard mansion to make trouble, and the governor of Pontus will definitely find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

"What is the use of you saying this?" Liu Sandao didn't give Zhu Wushou any face, only to see that he actually stretched out his big hand and grabbed Zhu Wushou's collar, and then pulled it violently in front of his eyes, "Lao Tzu is going to explain now!" Seeing that Liu Sandao's posture at the moment has no intention of bluffing, it is obvious that he is really angry.

In fact, it is not surprising that Liu Sandao was angry, after all, if the man in black last night was not Lu Yifan, the consequences would be unimaginable. Liu Sandao blamed himself for falling into Zhu Wushou's trap by mistake, and was even more afraid that if something really happened to Han Ling'er, then how should he explain to Lu Yifan? In fact, at this moment, Liu Sandao knew very well in his heart who was making trouble last night, but Lu Yifan repeatedly ordered him not to make a noise about this matter, so that Han Ling'er, Liu Sandao and others would pretend to be confused today, and ask Zhu Wushou for an explanation here. If not, Liu Sandao's temper would have chopped off Zhu Wushou's head last night.

"The Governor of Pondu has not sent someone to investigate this matter, what explanation do you want me to give you?" Under Liu Sandao's rough treatment, Zhu Wushou also seemed to be a little angry, only to see him retort with a gloomy face, "The Governor of Pondu is indeed responsible for this matter, but I also said this matter just now, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"This is the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion, if someone broke in last night, would you know?" Liu Sandao grinned and tugged at Zhu Wushou's collar, without the slightest intention of letting go, "Or are you old thing here deliberately shouting and chasing thieves?"

Being asked by Liu Sandao, Zhu Wushou and Zheng Xiang's faces changed almost at the same time, but they covered it up very well, so they didn't reveal any obvious flaws

"Sect Master Lu, you have really wronged us all over in this matter!" Zheng Xiang suddenly explained, "It's not a secret, we did find a black-clothed masked man in the mansion last night, and this person is the one who really drugged it!"

"Oh?" When Han Ling'er heard this, she immediately became interested, only to see her eyes looking at Zheng Xiang eagerly, and hurriedly asked, "Who is that?"

"I don't know yet!" Zheng Xiang explained vaguely, "We struggled to catch this person yesterday, and now we are also trying to find out his identity!" Zheng Xiang's words are true and false, and the black-clothed masked man he keeps saying is actually Lan Chen.

"That person is dead?" Han Ling'er had already learned from Lu Yifan's mouth that the other person was Lan Chen, so when she heard Zheng Xiang say this, the whole person couldn't sit still, only to see her leaning forward slightly, with a solemn face. Not only Han Ling'er was like this, but the faces of Liu Sandao and the others were also a little strange.

"I didn't ...... No!" Zheng Xiang hurriedly explained, "It's just that we knocked him unconscious, we have already sent someone to heal him, and we will be able to interrogate him and his purpose when he wakes up." ”

Hearing Zheng Xiang's words, Han Ling'er and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Is the injury serious?" Han Ling'er blurted out subconsciously, but when she said the words, she suddenly realized that it was not appropriate, so she hurriedly added, "Don't die before you can interrogate!"

"Sect Master Lu can rest assured!" Zheng Xiang swore and promised, "This person's cultivation is not weak, and he is not so easy to die." I'm ashamed to say that I was injured by this person when I was fighting this person last night!" Zheng Xiang also gently rubbed his chest with his hand, and coughed a few times in his mouth again. This time it wasn't pretending, Zheng Xiang was really hurt by Lan Chen last night.

"Now that you've caught someone, why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Sandao stretched out his hand and pushed Zhu Wushou back into the chair with a push in annoyance, and at the same time said a few polite words in his mouth quite casually, "I offended a lot just now, and I hope Zhu Dudu will not blame it!"

Zhu Wushou was not angry, but laughed and said, "Haha...... Brother Liu is loyal to Sect Master Lu, and Zhu has long heard of it. Today, I saw that it was indeed a well-known meeting every day, and it would not get in the way! It would not get in the way! Although this matter was committed by thieves outside, the governor of Pontus could not escape the responsibility of failing to protect him. ”

"I want to interrogate this person personally, I wonder if Zhu Dudu can agree?" Han Ling'er said lightly, "Dare to use drugs to stun us, this sect master is very curious about what kind of person he is!"

"No problem!" Zhu Wushou happily agreed, "But I also ask Sect Master Lu to give me three days, first, to heal the thief's wounds, and secondly, to let the governor of Pontus make up for his mistakes, and send someone to investigate this matter as soon as possible, so as to fulfill his duties as a landlord! After three days, I will definitely give Sect Master Lu a reasonable explanation, and Sect Master Lu just waits for good news!"

"But ......"

"Huh, Sect Master Lu don't be polite anymore, if you have to bother Sect Master Lu personally about this little thing, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Governor of Pontus?"

"In this way, then I will go back and wait for the news of Zhu Dudu three days later!" Han Ling'er said and glanced outside the hall, after several days of heavy rain, today finally cleared the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, at this moment the sky outside is clear, the air is very refreshing, this situation Han Ling'er couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The rain has stopped, those who are blocked in the Golden Gate Pass can finally get out of the customs smoothly!"

"Sect Master Lu, rest assured, no one will be able to get out of the pass in the past three days!" Without waiting for Han Ling'er's words to fall, Zhu Wushou smiled bluntly, "I have already ordered someone to lock it up last night, and no one will have to pass it until this matter is clarified."

Saying that, Zhu Wushou squeezed his eyes at Han Ling'er, and explained with a smile, "I'm worried that those people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to run away!"

As soon as Zhu Wushou said this, Han Ling'er couldn't help but glance at Ji Yuan, and there was an indescribable solemnity in his eyes.

After Han Ling'er and the others left, Zhu Wushou also left the main hall immediately, and walked quickly towards the secret room accompanied by Zheng Xiang, where Lan Chen was now held.

In the secret room, Lan Chen, who was seriously injured, was lying on a wooden bed, and there was a Lang Zhong next to him who was carefully changing the blood-stained medicine cloth for him.

"You go out first!"

As soon as Zhu Wushou entered the secret room, he instructed Lang Zhong, and then walked straight to the weak Lan Chen's bed, he actually sat on the edge of the bed quite kindly and reached out to hold Lan Chen's hand, which made Lan Chen's eyes, who had a cautious face, suddenly appear a look of doubt.

"How's it going, is the injury better?" Zhu Wushou had a kind smile on his face, and his tone was as soft as an elder to a junior, "It was a misunderstanding last night, so I let my family beat my own family......!"

"Who is your own family with you?" Lan Chen's tone was far less approachable than Zhu Wushou's, on the contrary, there was a cold hostility, "If you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to your respect, you don't have to pretend here!"

"Kill?" Zhu Wushou pretended to look at Lan Chen in surprise, and then he actually laughed, "Don't worry! Pontus will neither kill you nor scratch you!"

Lan Chen always felt that Zhu Wushou had something to say, and he couldn't help but add a touch of vigilance in his heart.

"Why the hell did you save me?" Lan Chen asked in a cold voice.

"You are my nephew, who should you save if the governor of Pontus doesn't save you?" Zhu Wushou smiled sincerely, "You may not have remembered anything back then, I don't blame you." You must know that I and Lord Lan Shixun are good friends in the court, and the relationship is very good!"

Hearing Zhu Wushou's words, Lan Chen didn't answer, because he had never admitted that he was a member of the Lan family from beginning to end, and he didn't figure out Zhu Wushou's purpose at the moment, so he didn't dare to answer rashly. However, Zhu Wushou seemed to see through Lan Chen's thoughts, so he took the initiative to open his mouth and said, "You are the son of Lord Lan, and the governor of Pontus already knows!"

Lan Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then resolutely retorted: "No!

"If the governor of Pontus really recognizes the wrong person, this head can be given to you!" Zhu Wushou looked confident, only to see him looking at Lan Chen with a smile, but his mouth was comforting, "I know why you don't dare to admit it, just don't admit it! If you don't admit it, you won't admit it, there are some things you and I know and forget it!" Haha......

"What the hell do you want to do?" Lan Chen was still very cautious.

"Lu Tian brought you to Jinmen Pass to rob the treasures sent to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet by the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, isn't it?" Zhu Wushou didn't answer the rhetorical question, and there was a touch of calm and calm between his eyebrows, as if he had a full grasp of his every word.

But in the face of Zhu Wushou's words, Lan Chen was silent.

"You don't believe me, I don't blame you!" Zhu Wushou chuckled as if talking to himself, "I know that Lu Tian summoned you for that batch of treasures, and you sneaked into the Border Guard Mansion last night to explore the Soul Sect, because you already know that the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce entrusted those treasures to Lu Yifan of the Soul Sect!"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in Lan Chen's originally indifferent eyes, this kind of thing Zhu Wushou could also guess? If he really guessed it, then this Zhu Wushou would be too terrifying. As soon as he saw Lan Chen's reaction, the thoughtful Zhu Wushou was even more sure of what he had just said, only to see that he smiled even more, and continued: "I just want to ask you, what is the relationship between you and that Lu Tian?"

Hearing Zhu Wushou's question, Lan Chen hesitated for a moment before slowly spit out four words from his mouth: "Like-minded."

！”

"Haha......" Zhu Wushou actually laughed when he heard this, and there was a hint of disdain in his laughter, "Like-minded? I think you share the same ambition of glory and wealth? But the fact that he can find you as a helper shows that this Lu Tian also has some ability! Not to mention whether you can do great things, even if it is done, how much will he Lu Tian promise to meet you afterwards? One or two percent? Or not even half of it?" You were born and died for him, and you almost died in the Border Guard Mansion last night, and in the end, he Lu Tian wants to take the lion's head, and you can only get a little bit of fur, is it worth it?"

Lan Chen's brows furrowed more and more, although he didn't directly answer Zhu Wushou's words, his erratic eyes had betrayed the apprehension in his heart.

"Fifty percent!"

Suddenly, the smile on Zhu Wushou's face disappeared, and he said to Lan Chen with a serious face.

"What did you say?" Lan Chen obviously didn't understand Zhu Wushou's words.

"I said I can share fifty percent of you!" Zhu Wushou explained again with a sincere face, "Nephew, I know that the Lan family has suffered a great disaster, you must have lived a very hard life these days, you want to do a lot of work and then live a good life again, these are understandable, I am also very considerate of you! But no matter how many treasures you take, I am afraid that it will not be enough for you to squander your whole life, I can share fifty percent of your treasures, and ensure that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth for your life! In this way, I am also worthy of your father's spirit in the sky! Do you think it is good?" said that Zhu Wushou actually wiped his tears pretendedly, as if he really had a deep friendship with Lan Shixun.

"What do you mean......" Lan Chenwan didn't expect Zhu Wushou to be thinking about that batch of treasures, he couldn't react at the moment, his eyes trembled and stared at Zhu Wushou, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say why, just kept repeating a sentence, "What do you mean ......"

"That's right!" Zhu Wushou replied unabashedly, "I mean just what you think, I want you to give up and continue to follow Lu Tian, and instead work with Pontus to achieve great things! Actually, you should know very well that I can kill you and have enough ability to complete this matter myself, but I still want to get rich with you, why? Just because my father and you were friends and good brothers who share life and death! So now I see that his son is in trouble, and I must not sit idly by!"

"Zhu Dudu ......"

"Call me Uncle Zhu!" Before Lan Chen, whose eyes were red, could speak, Zhu Wushou suddenly clenched Lan Chen's hand and said kindly, "Nephew, Uncle Zhu will never let you suffer!"

"That'...... What can I do for you, Uncle Zhu?" Lan Chen seemed to have been completely moved by Zhu Wushou, and the cold color on his face disappeared, replaced by a touch of ecstasy and emotion.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Zhu Wushou stretched out his hand and patted Lan Chen's shoulder gently, and then said softly, "You have been recuperating well in the past two days, nothing is as important as your life in my heart." I'll talk about the rest in two days!"

"Uncle Zhu......" Lan Chen's eyes were red, as if tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Have a good rest! Just tell your subordinates what you want to eat and drink! I still have to deal with Lu Yifan and them, so I'll go out first!" With that, Zhu Wushou comforted Lan Chen again, then got up and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his feet and walked out of the secret room.

But just after the teary-eyed Zhu Wushou turned around and walked out of the secret room, the grief that originally lingered on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, a treacherous and sinister smile appeared strangely at the corner of his mouth.

......
