The horses' hooves were cheerful, the streets were wide, and the surname was "straight", and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop in front of the Bafang Inn.

Xue Yunfei got out of the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to the house and into the inn.

The store happened to be clearing the accounts at the counter, and when they saw Xue Zhutou coming, they greeted him with a smile. Waiting for Xue Zhutou to explain his intentions, he led Xue Yunfei to the wing room where Bai Yutian lived, and asked the shopkeeper to bring tea, so that he could prepare wine and food.

Bai Yutian poured tea, and when Xue Yunfei drank a cup, he poured out the doubts in his heart: "Xue Zhutou, didn't Lord Fu Yin say that it was okay, as soon as the jade seal arrived, he released those people from the Longwei Dart Bureau, why haven't you seen anyone yet?" ”

Xue Yunfei seemed to be apologetic and said, "It's not that Lord Fu Yin doesn't want to let you go, it's that Lu Xiangye wants to see you again." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Lu Xiangye wants to see me?" Just know it, why be so grand. ”

Xue Yunfei smiled and said, "I know Xiangye's thoughts." ”

When Bai Yutian heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, got up and left his seat with Xue Yunfei, and called the elder Guhuai to walk to the front hall together and go to eat.

The three of them came to the front hall, the wine and food were served, and the store came over to toast Xue Zhu's first glass of wine. Bai Yutian accompanied Xue Zhutou and the elder Guhuai to have lunch, sent Xue Zhutou out of the store, said goodbye to the elder Guhuai, got out of the inn, and walked towards Lu Xiangye's mansion.

didn't take the car, chose to walk, just because he couldn't figure out what Lu Xiangye meant by holding people, and wanted to think about how to deal with it by walking, after all, the emperor is like a tiger for officials, and for the people who are officials, they are also like tigers.

A section of the street that was not very far or very close walked through, and came to the gate of Lu Xiangye's mansion, Bai Yutian straightened his clothes, strengthened his courage, stepped forward, and greeted the soldiers of Nafu: "A few big brothers, is Xiangye at home?" ”

The soldiers had a fight with Bai Yutian in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and although they lost, they didn't know each other. Seeing that Xiang Ye didn't blame last night, presumably Xiang Ye wouldn't blame if he let people in today, and one person replied: "Xiang Ye is at home, I don't know what happened to you?" ”

Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Lord Yin of Xiangye Tuofu sent a message, saying that he asked me to come to see him, and I don't know what it is." ”

Yifu Bing said: "Since the prime minister has an invitation, I will help you pass it on." ”

Bai Yutian arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

But after a while, the soldiers came to report: "Xiangye is invited." ”

After Bai Yutian thanked him, he followed behind the soldiers of Yifu, walked through the courtyard and alleys, and came smoothly to the outside of Lu Xiangye's study.

The soldiers outside the gate announced: "Xiangye, Bai Gongzi has arrived." ”

He replied, "Let him come in and make a cup of tea." ”

The government soldier bowed down and said, "Yes, Xiangye." "Stride away.

Bai Yutian saw that the door was open, so he stepped in, and saw Lu Xiangye looking at the book at the desk, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Grass people Bai Yutian, meet Lu Xiangye, Xiangye Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Lu Yijian glanced at Bai Yutian, put down the book, and said, "Get up, sit." ”

Bai Yutian got up, found a chair and sat down far away, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know if there is something wrong with Xiangye summoning the grass people to come?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "The original appearance didn't summon you!" Didn't you come to see your true nature? ”

Bai Yutian hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "The grass people lost their words, and the master forgives his sins." ”

Lu Yijian saw that Bai Yutian was also shrewd, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, sit down and say." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Thank you, Xiangye." "Sit down.

Lu Yijian walked away from the desk, sat down above Bai Yutian, and said slowly: "I heard that you have a deep enmity with the Dragon Slayer Society, and this time you are going north with the intention of destroying the Dragon Slayer Society?" ”

Bai Yutian replied: "Back to Xiangye, the grass people and the dragon slayer have some new and old grudges, and eliminating the dragon slayer is indeed the only big thing the grass people want to do. ”

Lu Yijian smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence, the imperial court is also trying to exterminate the Dragon Slayer Society." ”

Bai Yutian said: "The grass people are willing to become the pawns of the imperial court to exterminate the evil organization of the Dragon Slayer Society. ”

Lu Yijian said: "The Dragon Slaying Society, I heard that it has developed and grown by borrowing the momentum of the imperial court, if the imperial court comes forward to clean it up, some of the flavors that they pick up by themselves will not be very good once they are known to outsiders and spread." ”

Bai Yutian said: "What is the dispatch of the Xiangye, the grass people are willing to hear the details." ”

Lu Yijian chuckled: "It's not enough to be sent. However, two days ago, I heard that there is a righteous villa in Yingtianfu, and Jiang Yulang is posting a heroic post, saying that he is going to hold a martial arts conference. If you're interested, why don't you go and participate and ask for a martial arts alliance leader or something. If you can take these people to destroy the Dragon Slayer Society, it can be regarded as a contribution to the country and a contribution to the community. Afterwards, the prime minister will report to the imperial court, reward meritorious deeds, and never treat you badly. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Don't hide it from the minister, I heard people say that the dragon slaying will come down from the dragon slaughter, with two envoys on the left and right, three protectors, six King Kongs, and three walls and four elephants outside." I'm afraid that in some places, people in the rivers and lakes dare not touch it if they can reach out, and they have more than enough strength but not enough strength. ”

Lu Yijian said: "Three walls and four elephants? After a moment's pause, he said, "You don't have to worry about the three walls, you have someone to help you clean them up, you just need to eliminate the four elephants." ”

Bai Yutian stood up, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Xiangye, the grass people have something to ask for?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "Let's talk about it." ”

The house slave brought two cups of tea, Bai Yutian turned out to be a cup, drank two sips with Lu Xiangye, put down the teacup and said: "Eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society, it should be a matter of the rivers and lakes, it will not involve the imperial court, and it will not alarm the government." If Xiang Ye can agree to this small request of the grass people, the grass people are willing to do their best to move the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and take it as their responsibility to eradicate the martial arts scum of the dragon slayer. ”

Lu Yijian's face changed: "Why, the dignified Song Dynasty is not worth the reckless service of you rivers and lakes?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Xiangye is angry." The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, the court is the court, people do their own thing in the rivers and lakes, and they should follow the rules in the court. People in the rivers and lakes are used to being casual, and they are afraid that they will have the grace of the court and become official families, but their bad habits cannot be changed for a while, which is contrary to the grace of the gods. If there is a second dragon slayer in the future, the villain will be to blame. Look at the prime minister! ”

Lu Yijian said: "Bai Yutian, you are a talented person, and you intend to cultivate it, don't be ignorant." ”

Bai Yutian bowed and said: "Thanks to Xiangye, the grass people have thanked me here." However, the yearning of the grass people in their lives is to become an idle cloud and wild crane, not a canary in other people's cages. ”

Lu Yijian's face was unhappy, but he quickly calmed down, took two sips of the teacup, put down the teacup and said: "Bai Yutian, is it that the imperial court suppressed your father Bai Yu for no reason back then, and you, as a descendant, have complaints in your heart, and you can't pass the emotional level?" If this is the case, I am willing to show the saint and help your father to be wronged and shamed, and restore his former prestige. ”

Bai Yutian was very surprised, Lu Yijian, as the chief assistant of the imperial court, can be said to be busy with noble affairs, how can he know everything about the rivers and lakes! accidentally asked: "Xiangye, you have a lot of opportunities, how can these trivial things on the rivers and lakes not escape your eyes?" ”

Lu Yijian said with a smile: "Bai Yutian, the prime minister has not been staying in the capital as an official, and he has been sitting in the local area for a long time, how many peddlers and pawns have been relatives and friends of the official, and the people's sufferings are better than anyone else." Let's just say that your father was framed back then, but half of it was also his own fault, and he couldn't complain about others. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Xiangye, how can you say this?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "In the later period of the reign of the first emperor, he indulged in the 'East and West Worship', visited the Confucius Temple in Qufu, the Taiqing Palace in Bozhou, built the palace view, whitewashed the peace, and worked the people and lost money. Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei were also appointed as ministers, and Empress Liu gradually interfered in politics, which led to the deepening of social contradictions and occasional riots. Your father is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, deeply respected by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and when the limelight is in full swing, he raises his arms and exhales, and the heroes and heroes respond. The court was deeply suspicious of him, and out of kindness, he not only turned a deaf ear, but also did not know how to restrain himself. Even if the house is full of friends, how can the court rest assured of him when he is still hugging outside. ”

Bai Yutian said: "But my father has always kept to himself, only asking for a good reputation in the rivers and lakes martial arts, and has never harmed his family and country, let alone doing the thing of chopping wood for soldiers and uncovering poles for flags." Is it the so-called way of heaven that the court eats the people and uses the people's to treat their own people like this? ”

Lu Yijian said: "People's hearts are not ancient, who knows if your father will have two hearts in the future and do those things that harm the country and the people." In view of the lessons of the past, the imperial court is the first to strike, at most it is a precaution, how to do it right or wrong. Moreover, before he did anything to him, he warned him three times and twice, but he turned a blind eye to him and complained to others. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Lu Xiang, tell me the truth, if I lead the Jianghu martial arts people to eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society, if I don't accept the court's appeasement in the future, will I end up with the same fate as my father?" ”

Lu Yijian said: "Whether it will end up in the same fate, I don't know." However, as long as you are willing to accept the court's appeasement and serve the court wholeheartedly, how can the court treat you badly. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Lu Xiang, accepting the appeasement of the imperial court, my father didn't do it back then, and I don't think I can do it either." ”

Lu Yijian said: "Then you can fend for yourself." Back then, for the long-term peace and stability of the imperial court, seeing that your father was determined not to accept the court's appeasement, he couldn't help but eradicate your father, which led to rivers and lakes of martial arts, countless deaths and injuries, and he was heartbroken afterwards. As for you, it shouldn't have anything to do with your appearance. First, I am old, my body is not as good as before, who knows how many years I can live, and I am afraid that that thankless stupid thing will not be able to do it, and I don't want to do it anymore. Second, I am really tired and tired, I can suppress this, I can't suppress that, I can suppress the domestic, but I can't suppress the offshore. If everyone can be fed and clothed, have a good wife at home, have surplus grain in the warehouse, and be filial to their children and grandchildren; If it weren't for the ploughing cattle and no grass, the hamsters would have surplus food; If it weren't for the frequent natural disasters and the inability of the imperial court to appease them, who would be willing to tie their heads to their belts and follow others to gather a crowd to rebel. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Xiangye, a martial arts person in the rivers and lakes, there are many good eyes, but few bad eyes." If you can live, who wants to be the enemy of the court and do the deeds of nine deaths and a lifetime. What the people want is a peaceful and prosperous world, where they can live and work in peace and contentment, have food to eat while they live, and bury them in a pit after death, and have a smooth life. ”

Lu Yijian got up and said, "You go." Go to Kaifeng Mansion and say that you will let the person go, and you will pay for it on behalf of the prime minister. ”

Bai Yutian drank the tea, got up, bowed his head and said, "Thank you Xiangye for your generosity, the grass people retire." ”

Lu Yijian turned around, turned his back to Bai Yutian, and said, "Go ahead." ”

"The grass people are retiring." Bai Yutian saluted goodbye, got out of the study, and strode away.
