In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and on the first day, the whole capital is filled with a cheerful and peaceful atmosphere.

Only when the old emperor and Jinyi Wei are not tossed, the people in the capital can live peacefully, the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve sounded all night, Lu Hanjiang yawned and got up from the table on the morning of the first day, and Shang Luo on the opposite side had two big black circles under his eyes, and he was lying on the table and talking in his dreams.

The family structure of the Lu family is very simple, so simple that it can be summarized clearly in one sentence, that is, the main family has a number of servants and tens.

Lu Hanjiang did not have a family and no brothers and sisters, so in order not to live too lonely on Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years, it may also be that Old Man Meng would always call him to his home to keep the New Year when he saw him alone.

This year is different, Shang Luo is also in Beijing, and this girl came to him so much, so Lu Hanjiang didn't go to Master Meng's chatter.

During the Chinese New Year, the subordinates also relaxed and went to the New Year, while Lu Hanjiang chatted with Shang Luo to relieve their boredom, while Lao Qian worked harder and waited for them on the side.

Lu Hanjiang's biological clock is very punctual, he fell asleep just after Haishi, Shang Luo couldn't wake up, and he heard Lao Qian say that this girl fell asleep when she was ugly last night, and she could listen to firecrackers alone.

Lu Hanjiang got up from his seat and stretched, the hour had passed, and he could hear the joyful sounds in the city from afar, but the first day of the new year was the most noisy time, but he just wanted to stay at home.

went out to the yard, Lu Hanjiang bumped into a little girl with a double bun, holding a lot of food in her arms, the two of them looked at each other, the joy on the little girl's face suddenly froze, she stumbled towards Lu Hanjiang After saluting the New Year, she ran away quickly.

This girl is another "Shang Luo" that Lu Hanjiang brought back from Huashan, I don't know how the guy in the room who was sleeping said that these two little guys were moved, and they all went to Lu Hanjiang's house for the New Year.

"Sir."

Lao Qian came forward with a happy face, and the two saluted each other, Lu Hanjiang and him were masters and servants in name, but in fact they were treated as uncles and nephews, so this New Year's greeting ceremony was also different from others.

Lu Hanjiang saw that there were still a group of attendants and servants standing in the outer courtyard, so he said to Lao Qian: "As in previous years, Lao Qian, you go and give everyone a regular payment." ”

"Got it, sir," the old man asked, "is this amount still the same as in previous years?" ”

Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "Let's double it this year, I have all been promoted to the pacification envoy, and I haven't celebrated anything seriously." ”

After speaking, he instructed again: "Lord Lu's New Year's gift, you still send it, Master Meng, then I will go by myself." ”

"The old slave understands." Old Qian stepped back in response.

Lu Hanjiang went to have breakfast by himself, after all, it was the first day of the new year, and he was also particular about eating, so in the face of this kind of coming to visit the New Year early in the morning, it was difficult for him not to suspect that the other party was here to eat.

"I wish you a high level of advancement." Probably saw the rice cake on the table, and Bian Guang came with a smiling face.

Lu Hanjiang pointed to the seat on the side of the dining table and asked him to sit down: "Have you eaten?" ”

"Lord Xie cares, and I used it before I went out." Having said that, Bian Guang still took the rice cake handed to him by Lu Hanjiang and thanked him and ate it.

It's all his own people, and Lu Hanjiang doesn't bother to care about those superficial etiquette, he casually asked while eating breakfast: "You came to me so early, what's the matter?" ”

After Bian Guang swallowed the rice cake, he said: "In addition to greeting the New Year to the adults, there is another matter, this morning Ji Baihu's letter arrived, because the adults specially explained, and they were specially taken and delivered. ”

Naturally, it will not be empty-handed to come to pay New Year's greetings, but the things must be collected by Lao Qian, so that they will not be brought to this dinner table, just now Lu Hanjiang wondered why Bian Guang was still holding a wooden box in his hand, it turned out to be a message from Huangfu Xiaoyuan.

Since the last time Ying Tianfu met Wuwei Daoist and the beggar gang, Huangfu Xiaoyuan has been following them to collect intelligence, and has not been able to return to Beijing until today.

As for whether Huangfu Xiaoyuan is for Jinyiwei's work or for someone else, then Lu Hanjiang will turn a blind eye, anyway, the information is in hand.

He wiped his hands, opened the box and took out the letter in it, Huangfu Xiaoyuan used concise words, the content of the letter was not much, and the summary was that she continued to follow the beggar gang, and there was not much gain for the time being.

The letter also indicated the direction of the beggar gang, and Lu Hanjiang made a simple calculation in his mind, roughly going in the direction of Miaojiang.

It seems that the intelligence ability of the beggar gang is not bad, there is no mistake in the general direction, and the Huangfu Yushu, who was fooled by Lu Hanjiang, since he chose to capture Xuehua Palace Linglong, he must also go to Miaojiang to find a hundred poisoners.

But then looking down, Lu Hanjiang's eyes slowly sharpened, Bian Guang noticed this change, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

Lu Hanjiang didn't speak, but handed him the letter, Bian Guang took it and swept it through the ten lines, and said in surprise: "The people of the Xuantian Sect are also haunting Miaojiang?" ”

The Xuantian Sect is a pillar of the demonic path that does not go away, and the more Lu Hanjiang comes into contact with it, the more sure it is that there must be a force hidden in this demon sect that Huangfu Ling'er can rely on.

The battle in the court, no matter how fierce it is, is also in the circle, the means and results are predictable, in other words, they are all controllable, but His Royal Highness Yu and the crown princess hide their back hands in the rivers and lakes, which is relatively not very friendly.

The battle with Huangfu Ling'er was a long-awaited drama for Lu Hanjiang, so even if the Xuantian Sect that was in the way couldn't get rid of it, it couldn't make them too comfortable.

Thinking of this, Lu Hanjiang asked again: "Is there any news over there?" ”

"Cui Baihu sent a letter back a year ago, saying that he had found a clue, and according to the days on the letter, if it went well, he should already be in the valley of death at this time." Bian Guang analyzed.

Lu Hanjiang rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said: "Cui Baihu is a clever person, if he is not absolutely sure, he will not mention these things in the letter, presumably the result should be smooth." ”

"My lord."

Bian Guang looked at Lu Hanjiang and thought for a moment, but then made up his mind, and only listened to him: "Tell me to go down and arrange for people to secretly search for traces of the Xuantian Sect in southern Xinjiang, as well as the beggar gang, I remember that the old beggar should not be dead yet." ”

"My lord mean Liang Benlang? This old man heard that he was majestic in the Northland a while ago and killed a lot of demon masters. ”

Liang Benlang mentioned by Bian Guang is the leader of the beggar gang, if you make a list of responsible people from all major factions in the rivers and lakes, then this old man will definitely be the first to the last and will not run.

Liang Benlang has not taken care of things since the first day he was the leader of the beggar gang, and he is stunned when he shakes his hands, and he travels around with a dog beating stick every day, and has the kung fu to hug the shepherds thousands of miles away, but he doesn't have time to take care of the things in the gang, even if it is a little thing.

The intelligence ability of the beggar gang is so outstanding, half of it is due to this gang leader who loves to run around, the disciples of other sects are looking for their own head of the sect, but it is just a word of communication, and if the beggar gang wants to find Liang Benlang, it will not take ten days and a half months to search around, I am afraid that there will be no results.

It can be said that Yan Fengyun can earn the reputation of a "hero" with the status of the deputy gang leader, which is not unrelated to this hand-off gang leader, and now, in addition to not beating the dog stick to prove his identity, Yan Fengyun is already the leader of the beggar gang who is not the gang leader.

However, Liang Benlang was the leader of the beggar gang elected by several elders together, even if people don't care about anything, then they chose it themselves, and besides, this old man has no bad deeds in character except for not doing his job, so the beggar gang can only pinch his nose and endure it for so many years.

These are all trivial matters on the rivers and lakes, just listening to Lu Hanjiang's thoughtful questions, Bian Guang suddenly asked worriedly: "My lord, do you want to go to Miaojiang?" ”
