Chapter 15 The green willow and white skirt rise with the wind
Originally, Lu Xiao's life today was no different from usual, after running out of breakfast in the early morning, she would first go to the orchard in Chengtouzhuang to see how the guavas and watermelons she had brought in from the Western Regions and other places were growing, and then put on a small hat to ask the farmers about the recent quality and harvest of rice and vegetables on the farmland in the village, and in the afternoon they also went south to Xizhou City to see how many cattle and horses were sold for foot power in the whipping line in the past two days.
Due to the running around some time ago, the crops and poultry in Chengtou Village have not been sold in a short period of time, and Lu Xiao, who can often only hang around in the fields in the village, will be in a daze at a certain rice plant from time to time recently, obviously the weather has been very good recently, but she always thinks of the thrilling rainy night in Yuwan Town and the face that is mixed with meekness and coldness.
I don't know if the son who saved herself and her brothers is safe and sound, she wanted to send someone to save her when she returned to Stone Town that day, but for some reason she was stopped by her brother Lu Min, and then when she went to inquire later, where was there any news.
Although it was said that we would see each other again in Stone Town, it was just a polite remark for anyone who wanted to come. Lu Xiao, who was reading with her sister, looked at the bright first quarter moon in the sky and became distracted again.
It was also at this time that Wu Banjin, a guy who had been following Lu Xiao to do business since he was a child, walked into the bright and transparent study under the leadership of Xiuxiu, a maidservant girl at home.
Lu Xiaozhi Wu Banjin and Xiuxiu had feelings for each other, and at this time, when he saw Xiuxiu pulling the timid Wu Banjin into the study, he couldn't help but quip, "What are you two doing?" The village has been busy with business recently, and I don't allow it to get married. ”
Xiuxiu's pretty face suddenly turned red to her ears, and she lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "How can there be, Miss said that Wu Banjin is looking for you on business." ”
Wu Banjin was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiuxiu's shy appearance, and then thought that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly reported to Lu Xiaoyu: "Second Miss, it's not good, I saw the hero who saved us in the tavern of Yuwan Town before, and now he is in Wangyue Tower, and he is going to fight with Dongnu......"
"What?!" The ancient book in Lu Xiao's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", she didn't care to pick it up, she quickly stood up, and she didn't have time to put on her embroidered shoes and walked directly to the outside of the study and said, "Prepare the horse quickly, go to the Moon Tower." ”
Although Lu Xiao only asked her brother Lu Min about the underworld, as a member of the Lu family, how could she not know anything about the competition in Mochizuki Tower and the bloody deeds of Dongnu, in Lu Xiao's impression, the traveler who saved him in Yuman Town was indeed very powerful, but if it was against Dongnu who drank the divine wine, even the famous players who had been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes could not parry, not to mention that the traveler still needed to face Dongnu with his bare hands......
Chengtouzhuang is a relatively large farm even if you look at the entire Shendu City, and it will take half an hour to rush from the Lu family to Wangyue Tower, Lu Xiao asked Wu Banjin a lot of things about Xu Wei along the way, although Wu Banjin himself doesn't know much, but after telling the whole thing, it is enough for Lu Xiao to know a rough idea.
"I didn't expect to learn the name of the benefactor from my brother's gambling contract after inquiring for a long time, our Lu family's business is really big." Lu Xiao rode a horse lukewarmly, after all, she was in charge of the Lu family's whipping business, and her equestrian skills were much better than those of ordinary men, so even if she was wearing a skirt at this time, she did not slow down her riding speed at all.
How could Wu Banjin and the others who followed behind Lu Xiao dare to pick up Lu Xiao's words, they could only bow their heads and shut up, and follow seriously on horseback.
As a result, when Lu Xiao arrived at the Moon Tower, there was only a Taoist who was dancing a strange blessing dance in the martial arts arena below, and a tall and sturdy woman holding two mallet knives, and in front of the two of them lay a huge corpse, which was almost exactly the same as the appearance of the Dongnu described to Lu Xiao by other Zhuangli people on weekdays.
Lu Xiao was relieved to see that it was Dongnu who fell in the martial arts arena, but after Wu Banjin brought Uncle Feng, a middle-aged man who had been watching in the building, to come over and ask a few words, Lu Xiao's heart suddenly rose to his throat again.
Long before Lu Min left, Han Ziwang asked whether to deal with Xu Wei, and Lu Min gave Han Ziwang the Lu family's black iron "quick knife order" in front of many guests in the building, saying that he couldn't take care of the affairs outside the building, and let Han Ziwang do it himself.
Uncle Feng originally wanted to go with him, but Han Ziwang found him as soon as he turned his head, and handed him an axe and asked him if he wanted to go with him.
However, the traces of Xu Wei and others are not difficult to find, this time Han Ziwang's means of killing people are too public, first with a wave of his hand, he cleared the small set of Wangyue Tower and closed the road, and then used Lu Min's "quick knife order" to find nearly 100 people one after another, so it is difficult for Lu Xiao and others not to find out.
When Lu Xiaoce squeezed into the crowd of black pressure, he could see the wonton stall that fell into the encirclement from a distance, as well as Xu Wei and others who were struggling to support outside the stall, seeing that the Lu family thugs with knives were about to kill the three of them, she hurriedly shouted "Stop".
Lu Xiao's green and yellow horse looked scary, but he was very timid, and he didn't want to go inside no matter how he drove it when he saw a lot of people, so Lu Xiao could only get off the horse and walk, and he was still letting everyone stop along the way.
Wu Banjin and several old guys in the shops were on both sides of Lu Xiao, for fear that a thug with a short eye would accidentally injure Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao hurriedly squeezed all the way to Han Ziwang's side, she first glanced at Xu Wei with concern if there was anything wrong, and then turned to Han Ziwang and said: "Shopkeeper Han, Xu Wei is my life-saving benefactor, please raise your noble hand and let them go." ”
Han Ziwang knew that Lu Min had always loved his two younger sisters, so he immediately bowed his hand respectfully and said: "Second Miss, I didn't expect that a nameless junior on the rivers and lakes would be able to drive you to come in person, but today's matter was personally ordered by your brother Lu Min's boss, and it is difficult for me to obey the villain." ”
"What do you mean? Don't take the second miss in your eyes? Wu Banjin saw that Han Ziwang seemed respectful, but his expression was full of arrogance, and he said unhappily: "Now that the big boss is not here, who else do you listen to if you don't listen to the second lady?" ”
"When is it your turn to speak, little worm?" Han Ziwang looked up at Wu Banjin and said, "Have you forgotten that your brother-in-law is still an apprentice in my shop, and you want to go home and be beaten by your sister?" The acquaintance helped persuade the second lady to leave quickly. ”
Han Ziwang blocked Wu Banjin's mouth with a word, Wu Banjin's family was poor, and his sister was finally married, if he hurt his brother-in-law and lost the job of Tianyuan Qianzhuang's apprentice, I am afraid that he will be blamed to death by his mother and sister.
Lu Xiao is a Peugeot Jiangnan woman with soft cheeks, a small and lovely chin and nose, and a pale pink skin in the white, like a white early cherry tree carefully cultivated by God, at this moment she was sad and frowned, seeing that Han Ziwang was unwilling to give in, she also took out the unrelenting posture when talking about business on weekdays and continued: "Before, my brother asked you to kill Xu Wei because he didn't know that Xu Wei had saved me, if he knew, he would never have made such a rash decision. Moreover, at the clan conference back then, Brother had already stated that the Lu family would never kill people easily even if they raised thugs, so how could they easily regret it now? ”
"I don't know about the clan conference, I don't care about your friendship with this Xu Gongzi, I only know that this Xu Wei has repeatedly ruined the Lu family's good deeds, just now he killed the Lu family's precious martial artist Dongnu in the Moon Tower, and at this moment he hacked and crippled more than 20 brothers in the small set, even if I can agree to let him go, can these brothers on the ground agree?" Han Ziwang knew that he couldn't confront the second miss of the Lu family head-on, so he continued in a voice that could be heard by almost all thugs,
"We Lu guys who are standing on the ground are not trying to earn face for the big boss, not to avenge Dongnu, and not to ask for an explanation for those brothers who have fallen, is it reasonable?"
A sturdy dead soldier guard beside Han Ziwang took the lead and said loudly: "I can't say it! Inexcusable!! ”
Many of the Lu family thugs who had just been called around didn't even know what was going on, but Han Ziwang had both the face of Lu Min, the big boss who was generous on weekdays, and the bloody nature of avenging his fallen brother, and those new thugs were almost instantly swept into the warm atmosphere of righteousness in the rivers and lakes, and the sturdy dead man who followed him shouted: "I can't say it!" ”
"In that case, then wait a quarter of an hour, and I'll go and ask my brother for a password now, and if my brother insists on killing, I won't say anything more today?" Lu Xiao understood that the thugs were instigated by Han Ziwang at this moment, so he had to delay the time first.
"No, I can't! Now that I have the command of the big boss, I am in charge at the moment, otherwise the letter of the big boss will not become an ornament. Han Ziwang naturally knew the truth of long nights and dreams, and he never intended to give Xu Wei and the others a chance of life, he raised the Lu family's "Quick Knife Order" and said to Lu Xiao: "Second Miss can go to the big boss to explain the reason, if you come with the big boss's password at that time, I will stop immediately." But now, I have to do it! ”
"You ......" Lu Xiao gritted her teeth and stood in front of Han Ziwang and the others, the skirt woven from green willow and moon-white silk cloth gently floated with the night breeze, her appearance was already a little childish, and her stubborn appearance was even more pitiful, "I have secured these three people today, if you want to kill them, even I will kill them together." ”
Fan Hu looked at the slender and beautiful girl in the crowd not far away, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Wei and said, "You kid, after a long time, you actually made a fire in the inner courtyard of your confidante's house, but since Boss Lu is your uncle, don't we have to die?" ”
Xu Wei looked at the righteous girl who was only wearing a thin shirt and a short gown on the cold autumn night in front of him, and said a little embarrassed: "I only have one side relationship with that Miss Lu, and today I am so embarrassed that I have to trouble her to come to the rescue, it is really a shame." ”
"Brother Xu is righteous and refreshing, his character and appearance are extraordinary, and it is not uncommon for him to be admired by women." Qin Qiong shook the double gong in her hand and said, "But this girl doesn't seem to be able to suppress Han Ziwang, I'm afraid our fate is still hanging by a thread." ”
Xu Wei's eyes were a little less bloody, and more calm and hollow like an out-of-body soul after killing and life and death on the battlefield, he took advantage of Han Ziwang's lack of notice, and gently took off his big coat, revealing a light-colored narrow-sleeved short coat, his eyes stared at Han Ziwang as if he were staring at prey, and said softly to Qin Qiong and Fan Hu: "No, Miss Tuolu's blessing, there is a glimmer of life now." “
Behind Lu Xiao, a shopkeeper with some seniority in the Lu family and Chengtouzhuang saw that Lu Xiao was so angry with Han Ziwang, so he grabbed Han Ziwang's forearm and said, "What? Second Miss's words are so weightless? We've already conceded so much, so why wait? ”
Han Ziwang shook off the middle-aged shopkeeper of the rice shop, "I want you to be nosy!" ”
"Kill me, except for don't hurt the second lady, everyone else can be killed!" Han Ziwang didn't want to delay any longer, and ordered decisively.
However, at the moment when Han Ziwang finished giving the order, he used a voice that only he could hear, "Huh? With a sigh, because Xu Wei was gone, only Qin Qiong and Fan Hu were left outside the wonton stall.
Xu Wei is not an immortal, and he will not have strange escape techniques, many people present saw Xu Wei, but some of them had not yet reacted to remind Han Ziwang, and some were surprised and couldn't make a sound at all.
At the moment when Han Ziwang was entangled by the middle-aged shopkeeper of Mi Xing, Xu Wei and Qin Qiong just looked at each other without a word, and made an almost seamless cooperation, Xu Wei, who was not burdened, stepped on Qin Qiong's strong arms, Qin Qiong instantly sank his shoulders and breathed, and as he let out a heavy exhale, Xu Wei was bounced away like a big stone lock thrown by a street artist.
When Han Ziwang looked up and found Xu Wei, he seemed to see a white crane swooping down, he never expected that the other party would approach him in this way, and he was about to retreat and run away, only to find that in addition to his big guards, there were either a few thugs who had just come who couldn't figure out what was going on, or Lu Xiao's subordinates who were still pestering him to reason.
Xu Wei landed in one step, just stepping on the small step vacancy that Han Ziwang retreated from, Han Ziwang was already weak, and when he wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and escape, he was even more busy and made a mistake on the tall guard on the side, and was bounced back.
Another dead man wanted to hug Xu Wei to delay time, but his hugging movement was much slower than Dong Nu's, where could he touch Xu Wei, only to see Xu Wei move quickly in small steps, and continuously avoid the strong dead soldiers around him to approach Han Ziwang at the same time, almost letting the latter see the afterimage.
Han Ziwang shouted "Ah" in fright with his teeth and claws in his hands, and suddenly felt that his throat was clamped vigorously, and for a while, he couldn't say anything, and even his breath was cut off.
"There are so many dead and injured people today, all because of you and me, Dongnu and these people's spirits in the sky must have an explanation, you and I must die tonight...... Otherwise, I really don't want to go. Xu Wei's arms were like two field sickles, locking Han Ziwang's neck fiercely, and he had little physical strength left, trying to make him lose his breath instantly.
Between life and death, Han Ziwang only had one absurd idea, about whether black and white impermanence should use a flower stick to break the soul or use a chain to hook the soul, and now he finally has an answer, it turns out that he is not a good person or a big villain, it is really like being entangled in iron ropes, and he was taken away at once.
