"Who are you waiting for?" Han He couldn't help asking.

"An old man."

She chuckled lightly, and her eyes fell on the flowers and trees outside the window, "This person, I have sent someone to look for him for a few months, as long as he can come, maybe the matter in Guanzhong will be completely revealed."

"The old man?" His eyes lit up, and he was faintly puzzled, but he didn't ask any further.

But after a while, Lu Zhaoyi lowered his head again and muttered, "Maybe, he won't come to me, should I go to him myself?"

These words, listening to Han He's ears, were a little foggy, and he couldn't figure it out, so he could only echo it, "It's better to go to the door to find it than to wait for someone to come, okay?" Chinese Net

That's right, too!

Her heart was stirred, as if she had made a decision.

Shangluo County, northwest corner.

On the mountainside of the upper reaches of the Dan River, the trees and grasses have grown buds, covering the mountains with greenery. There is a mountain villa here.

Although the villa is small in size, the architecture is quite delicate and gorgeous, and the people inside are all gorgeously dressed.

In the courtyard of the villa, sitting in the master's seat is also a handsome and upright young man, dressed in a green robe and holding a folding fan, and is chanting poems with a group of young men and women in the pavilion.

"This song, good, wonderful!"

"Yes, yes, I also think it's a good word, but how do you feel, something seems wrong?"

"Hahaha, whether it's good or not, just adapt to the situation." The young man waved the paper fan in his hand, just in time to see a figure coming in from outside.

A flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly withdrew it again, and stepped forward with a smile, bright and warm, "Yo, Mrs. Lu, long time no see. Why are you here today?"

"Just to see what this legendary Kamidanbetsu is like. Now it looks like it's really good!" Lu Zhaoyi said with a smile.

"What is this? Mrs. Lu is too modest." The young man smirked for a while, then turned his head in joy, looked at the young men and women in the courtyard, and introduced Lu Zhaoyi to them.

"Friends, this one is the one who can really compose poetry, the famous Jingbei "Walking on the Wall" is her ......

As the boy spoke, he complimented her so uncomfortably that she couldn't help but bow her head and cough lightly, interrupting him.

"I have not come today to smit, but to see your father."

"My father?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then waved the paper fan and covered it on his chest, unable to say a word for a long time.

On the side, everyone was also full of surprise, and one of the men smiled and had a black mole on his cheek, which looked a little funny.

But when I saw this person get up from the banquet, his demeanor was full of strangeness.

"Seven Niangzi, Ah Le's father seems to have gone to Jingzhou for several months and has not returned, and there is no news of him. Later, I sent a letter to my family, saying that it was in Shangyong County......

A month ago, she received a letter from the rudder of Shangyong in Piaoxue Tower, the young man's father was not in Shangyong County, and he could only escape from Shangyong and return to Shangluo.

Lu Zhaoyi thought for a while and responded lightly, "If Xu Le's father comes back, he will bother to deliver a message for me. Let's just say that I, Lu Qiniang, have sent someone to investigate clearly, and what happened four years ago has nothing to do with him Xu Shen, and there is no need to hide in the future. Recently, I will leave Shangluo County for the time being, and if he can figure it out, he will come to me at any time."

After saying that, she waved her sleeves and turned around to leave the villa.

Everyone was really stunned, and after a while, Xu Le immediately came back to his senses and was about to go up and stop him.

"Sister Lu, don't leave yet. Anyway, you and I have played together since childhood, although I am three years younger than you, but you don't treat me as a child!"

After being silent for a while, Lu Zhaoyi turned his head, looked at him with a slight smile, and comforted: "It is said that you were promoted to Maocai a few days ago, if you can be an official, you are also an adult, and it is good to know the responsibilities you bear."

She didn't seem to want to stay long, so she left this sentence behind and planned to leave.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Hearing this familiar footstep, Xu Le looked back and saw the figure of a middle-aged man, walking towards here.

"Father?"

Xu Le's shout, suddenly, Lu Zhaoyi turned around, the smile on his face was gentle and pleasant, and there was not the slightest surprise on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

The middle-aged man approached, dressed in a farmer's outfit, but he couldn't hide it, his sturdy figure, faintly, revealing a battle-hardened temperament, mixed with a melancholy atmosphere, but also gave people a sense of toughness.

"Father!" Xu Le shouted again and hurriedly ran to the side of the arrival.

This person is Xu Le's father, the former governor of Beidi County, and the general of Jingzhao, who suddenly resigned and farmed in Shangluo County, but he was not the kind of farmer that is commonly believed.

"Le'er, that's the end of your poems today, send your friends away, right?"

Xu Shen's gaze always stayed on Lu Zhaoyi, and he never looked at anyone else.

And everyone else also knew that there should be something important to talk about next, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so under the guidance of Xu Le, they all left this place one by one.

Soon, only the two of them were left in the pavilion.

There was no one around, Xu Shen's eyes looked directly at her, his face looked displeased, but his tone was much more relaxed.

"Seven Niangzi, what are you doing in Shangluo County?"

Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Haven't you heard that I was demoted to this point by His Majesty?" Lu Zhaoyi replied calmly.

"Shangluo's new county lieutenant, is that you?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Shen's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, as if he was weighing something.

Seeing him with such an expression, Lu Zhaoyi grinned and asked in a low voice, "If I don't come to you, do you plan to hide from me for the rest of my life, Uncle Xu?"

Xu Shen chuckled and shook his head, "Brother Yi can have a daughter like you, he must be relieved to know about it."

In her opinion, the person in front of her, her father's former sworn brother, is an extremely smart person, otherwise, he would not have become a member of the martial arts in his thirties.

But such a person, when he was thirty-eight years old, suddenly resigned and went into hiding, giving up the official career that others dreamed of, no matter what, it is incomprehensible.

"What about you?" Lu Zhaoyi asked rhetorically, "Are you so willing to be a little squire for the rest of your life?" Back then, your ideals and ambitions really couldn't bear to leave all of them behind?"

A hint of complexity flashed through Xu Shen's gaze, "You don't understand!"

When he said this, Lu Zhaoyi felt that he had the intention of evading, and he couldn't help but persuade him.

"Now Uncle Xu, you are willing to succumb to the squire, be an ordinary farmer, and dare not face it, what is the difference between this move and those cowards who escape?"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Xu Shen sighed lightly, "Zhaoyi, when my righteous brother was alive, everything he had planned was in vain after he was victimized...... Now, what can you do if you find out the truth about the murder of your brother-in-law?"

Perhaps, in Xu Shen's opinion, he should not explore this matter again, because it was a touch of his pain.

But as the child of the deceased, Lu Zhaoyi can't leave all this, in her concept, the murderer should be brought to justice, if the murderer can't pay for his life, can there be heavenly reason in this world? And what is the use of this righteousness?

She took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in her heart, lowered her eyes, and was silent for a while, Fang raised her head and looked him in the eye.

"If you don't want my father's death to be unclear, please tell me everything you know, and in the future, this matter will have nothing to do with you."

She took a deep breath and muttered a little, "Let me ask you, did you know that my father was killed? Have you ever seen a murderer look like with your own eyes? Have you ever seen my father killed?"

Three questions were thrown out in a row, and in an instant, Xu Shen's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, but they quickly disappeared.

"So what?"

He spit out a few words softly, and there was a ruthlessness and determination in his voice.

"You ......" Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but be stunned, only then did he realize that he had been

I really don't know much about him.

is obviously her father's sworn brother-in-law, but now, she has countless words to refute the person in front of her.

"So, you know, who is the murderer?"

A cold glow flashed in Xu Shen's eyes, and he replied in a deep voice, "I naturally know, but I don't tell you, it's good for you."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and the anger in her heart became thicker and thicker, but she didn't know how to release it, because of this uncle-nephew relationship, out of etiquette considerations, it was inconvenient for her to have any disrespect for her elders, so she had to turn around and leave.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, leave Shangluo County first, if you change your mind and want to say it, go to Danhe Pavilion to find me in the next few days."

With that, she walked away.

Xu Shen immediately set off, wanting to stop him, his body moved quickly, and with the habit of practicing martial arts for many years, he rushed ahead of her and stood in front of her.

"Don't go. According to my brother's orders, you have no power to protect yourself, and I need to let you know that if you can't get under my hands, don't meddle in this matter again."

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, she was immediately happy, she browled slightly, and immediately, a group of black-armored figures outside the courtyard were faster than Xu Shen with lightning speed, and surrounded her.

"Black Guard?"

"That's right." Among the black-armored guards, one of them was already ready to take off the iron mask as he spoke, revealing a face that made the world fearful.

"You, you, you are, Xia Yuanlong?" Xu Shen was really startled when he saw that person.

Everyone in the world knows that Lu Zhaoyi is a military advisor, a disciple of Zhenguo Gong Gou Chenzi, and it is normal for black armor guards to appear around him.

But the commander of the Black Armor Guard, the most trusted general of Wu Gong, is also among them, which has to make people suspicious.

Just when he was still suspicious, Lu Zhaoyi, who was behind the black-armored guards, walked out of the crowd slowly, his eyes looked a little smiling, and when he looked at it carefully, he always had a creepy feeling.

She stood still, raised her hand, motioned to the black armor guard to put away her weapon, and said calmly, "Uncle Xu, get out of the way. What I want to do, no one can stop me."

"Go, Gotako?" Xu Shen exclaimed, his words a little inarticulate, "You, you, are Gou Chenzi? How is that possible?"

As he spoke, he comforted himself, but at this time, Xia Yuanlong stood up and completely broke his inner defense.

"Don't hide it from General Xu, Gou Chen's military advisor, when the first king was lying on the sickbed, he specially explained to us and others, you can not obey the emperor's orders, but you must not obey the orders of the military advisor."

When Xu Shen heard this, he was dumbfounded, and then, he laughed bitterly, "So that's the case."

In a trance, maybe this news was too shocking, conquering the four countries, dominating the world, and the military advisor Gou Chenzi who gave advice behind the scenes, such a person, even the Xia clan admired incomparably was actually his niece.

Who can accept this for a while?

After a while, Lu Zhaoyi, who was waiting impatiently, walked over to him, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave the county seat, you think about it tonight, figure it out, go to the east city gate to find me!"
