Chapter 38: Visiting
Early morning, a breeze. The bluestone-paved pavement outside Lufu is full of sunlight, and a few green willows on the corner of the street have already revealed a fresh and new meaning.
Two young figures appeared outside the gate of the Lu Mansion one after the other.
Before the servants who were sweeping the floor in the morning could speak to the two of them, they heard one of them salute: "Please tell the Lord of the Lu League, Mo Yiyue, a disciple of the Mo family in Yunzhou, and Mu Yuncheng, a disciple of the Mu family, come to visit." ”
As soon as he heard that the person who came was from the Yunzhou Mu Mo family, the sweeping servant immediately turned into a messenger and ran inside to report it.
After a while, I heard a hearty laugh from the Lu Mansion, "Haha...... Two virtuous nephews, hurry up and please. It was Lu Tianzhang who went out to greet him personally. I saw that he was burly, with a strong physique, and a steady step under his feet. Today he was even more complex, with a smile on his face, and if you want to know how happy he is, it can be seen from the red embroidered gold robe he wears alone.
Both of them bowed, then stepped on the steps and entered the mansion with Lu Tianzhang.
Less than a hundred steps from the door of the mansion to the front hall, Mo Yiyue and Mu Yuncheng were silent, and Lu Tianzhang, who was overflowing with joy, seemed a little out of place.
Mo Yiyue was thinking about how to ask about Heya Village all the way, and what kind of person Lu Tianzhang was had absolutely to do with the speed of the incident. Seeing him warmly welcome him this time, Mo Yiyue's heart was extremely uneasy, and she didn't know why.
And Mu Yuncheng was different from him, looking left and right along the way, obviously absent-minded. More precisely, it should be said that his heart belongs to him, and he has no time to take care of anything else.
Entering the front hall, the three of them sat down. Lu Tianzhang held the teacup in his hand and smiled at the two of them: "Qingcheng Xueya." ”
Mu Yuncheng looked down when he heard this, and saw that the leaf buds in the cup were beautiful and slightly curved, the white hao was revealed, and the soup was emerald green, clear and clear. You can smell the aroma from afar, and the taste is especially refreshing when you enter it.
"Good tea. Mu Yuncheng and Mo Yiyue blurted out almost at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Mo Yiyue put down the teacup and bowed to Lu Tianzhang: "I can't hide it, this time, I want to ask Lu Mengzhu face to face." ”
"It's okay to say it's okay. Lu Tianzhang also stretched out his palm to signal him to continue.
Mo Yiyue then spoke: "A few days ago, I found the tragic bodies of countless villagers in Taoling Heya Village. And I wanted to inquire about this matter in Taoling County, but he told me that the leader of the Lu League had been involved in this matter, so I asked the leader of the Lu League to ask him what was going on that day. ”
After he said this, Mu Yuncheng was also surprised. He had been to Heya Village himself, so how could he not see the corpses of the villagers who had died tragically? Although he was horrified in his heart, he did not dare to say much at this time, and only waited for the two of them to explain the matter a little, and he could be regarded as knowing about the matter from the side.
"Well, Lu did get involved. And I killed those villagers too. Lu Tianzhang was calm and calm, his face did not change, but Mu Yuncheng on the side was shocked into a cold sweat.
"I don't think the leader of the Lu League would kill the villagers for no reason, and I heard Wu Da Neng say that those villagers seem to have been infected by something, and have become violent and bloodthirsty, and have lost their humanity. Mo Yiyue was extremely calm at the moment, her eyes were always fixed on Lu Tianzhang, and she never left the slightest.
It seems that Mo Gongzi still trusts Lu. Yes, that group of villagers was indeed infected, and Lu had no choice but to kill them. Lu Tianzhang's face was heavy, and his voice was deliberately lowered a little, obviously with some remorse for this matter.
"I also asked the leader of the Lu League to tell the younger generation the reason for the villagers' infection. Mo Yiyue suddenly glanced at Mu Yuncheng, but saw that his eyes were blurred at the moment, and he didn't know if he was wandering outside the universe because he was thinking about something.
Lu Tianzhang paused, as if reminiscing. But Mo Yiyue deliberately reminded him at this moment: "I know that this matter started because of the big fish on the Internet by the villagers, but I don't understand what the connection is." ”
"Ah, I remember it clearly. It was the big fish that was infected by evil spirits, and the villagers ate the fish by mistake, so they got a crazy strange disease. Lu Tianzhang nodded again and again. Then, as if remembering something, he explained to the two of them: "When I arrived, the villagers had no cure, so I led them out of the village and gathered them together and burned them. Later, there was an urgent report from Jiangzhou, so I didn't go back to Taoling County, and hurried back. ”
Mo Yiyue fell silent when she heard this, her eyes looked around from time to time, either looking down at the ground under her feet, or raising her eyes to look at Lu Tianzhang, all in all, she showed a little uneasiness, and did not continue to ask. After a while, he got up and nodded to Lu Tianzhang and saluted again: "It seems that this matter is not as complicated as I thought before, so it is inconvenient for the younger generations to bother here more, so I will leave, and I will definitely visit again if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Lu Tianzhang also smiled when he heard this, and said goodbye, but he didn't mean to keep it.
"Ah, are you leaving?" Mu Yuncheng came back to his senses when he heard Mo Yiyue say that he was leaving. After walking a few steps with Mo Yiyue, she suddenly remembered something, turned to Lu Tianzhang and asked, "Master Lu, the girl is in your house." ”
"You're talking about Miss Chu? But as soon as it was dawn, I went out with Ye Shaoxia, and I don't know when I will come back. Lu Tianzhang nodded and said.
"Ahh Thank you......" Mu Yuncheng waved goodbye to Lu Tianzhang out of politeness, but his expression was very lost.
Out of the Lu Mansion, the two of them were silent all the way. It was only because Mu Yuncheng couldn't see Chu Shui Yu that he became depressed along the way, and Mo Yiyue didn't talk to him because he was thinking about things.
Turning the corner, Mo Yiyue suddenly pulled Mu Yuncheng into a remote dead alley. The appearance of his lips moving and wanting to speak made Mu Yuncheng very uncomfortable.
"If you have something to say, what are you afraid of?" Mu Yuncheng pushed him, with an angry look on his face.
Mo Yiyue took a deep breath and asked him, "Don't you think this Lu Tianzhang is a little strange?"
"Hmm, do you mean how enthusiastic he is about you and me?" Mu Yuncheng bent his index finger on his lower lip, as if thinking, and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, he showed obvious resistance when he knew the purpose of your and my visit. What Mo Yiyue was referring to was the change in Lu Tianzhang's name for the two before and after, and when the two left, he didn't go out to see each other off like before.
"That's true, but why?" Mu Yuncheng asked again.
Mo Yiyue pursed her lips, frowned and said, "Don't you still understand? It was this incident that I asked about that caused his attitude towards you and me to change. There was a fatal flaw in his answer, that is, the villagers caught a big fish, which he wanted to use as a tribute to the county to reduce taxes. How can you eat it so easily that you go crazy?"
"I didn't know about this before, but now that you explain it, I think Lu Tianzhang told a lie. Mu Yuncheng immediately nodded and replied. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he leaned back against the wall, his mouth slightly open, "Why is he lying......?
"It's hard to say, but Lu Tianzhang is by no means as simple as we think. Mo Yiyue's expression suddenly became sharp.
"Aren't they very dangerous with the water rumor and the flying feather?" Mu Yuncheng was a little nervous, but saw Mo Yiyue shaking his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, whether he is good or bad is not certain yet." Even if he was really a bad guy, he wouldn't dare tear the mask now. ”
"Ah...... That's right. But then again, is this Lu Tianzhang powerful? According to the classification standard you said, what level should he be!" Mu Yuncheng was worried that if he made a move, I was afraid that Chu Shuiyu and Ye Feiyu in his mansion would not be his opponents.
"As the leader of the Western Sword Alliance, he should be at the level of the Great Leader. Mo Yiyue affirmed.
"Is that amazing?" Mu Yuncheng asked weakly. Seeing him like this, Mo Yiyue suddenly smiled in her eyes, shook her head slightly, and said, "Will the dignified prince still be afraid of him?"
"you, I'm so angry if you make such fun of me again. Mu Yuncheng punched him in the chest and said angrily.
Mo Yiyue blinked slightly in one eye due to pain, looking very hurt. But I heard Mu Yuncheng say again: "By the way, I still have something to tell you, which is about the Xinghai Sect in Jiangzhou City." ”
