About thirty miles outside Xijing City, there is a long-abandoned mansion, standing alone in the vast wilderness.

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the Mongols built a horse farm here and used the post station as a camp for the stables. Later, Duan Tianhong took over the Mongolian horse farm, and a cadre of people successively stationed in Duanjiabao.

Over time, the house gradually fell into disuse, and the surrounding water and grass were exhausted, no longer suitable for raising horses, and the horse farm had to be relocated, and the surrounding area became more and more deserted.

Today, Lu Tingxiang and the disciples of the Lu family temporarily borrowed the deserted house to settle down, one is hidden here, and a large number of people lurk in it and it is not easy to be noticed. The two, Xijing Mansion is close at hand, which is convenient for communicating with the three heroes of the Qin family.

In the morning, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was clear. Lu Tingxiang sat in the overgrown patio, drinking tea while flipping through a few books and scrolls left in the deserted house, and for a while he was actually reading with relish.

"The tea is cold, I'll change a cup for my son. ”

Dong Xiao'er shook her waist like a water snake and slowly came to Lu Tingxiang's side, reaching out to hold the teacup on the table.

Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxiang grabbed her wrist without raising his head, dragged it into his arms, and said softly: "Shuang'er, look, this book says ......"

As for this, Lu Tingxiang suddenly realized that he was not in the Lu Mansion at this time, and the woman in his arms was not the white frost that accompanied him day and night, his eyes changed, and he hurriedly pushed Dong Xiao'er who was caught off guard, and at the same time got up in a hurry, and looked at Dong Xiao'er who was smiling and silent, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and he didn't know how to explain for a while.

"Miss Dong, Lu ...... just now"

"Lu Gongzi was attentive and forgetful, and it was normal for people to mistake the little girl for a white girl just now. Dong Xiao'er was not annoyed, but there was a hint of provocation in her tone, "It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover." The white girl is really a blessing, Lu Gongzi is still thinking about her thousands of miles away, and she is really envious of others. ”

Miss Dong is reasonable, and Lu is very grateful. ”

"If the son does not give up, in the past few days in Hexi, let the little woman replace the white girl to serve tea and pour water for the son...... Change clothes and warm quilts. As for those men who are five big and three thick, it's okay to dance with guns and sticks, but how can they be careful when serving people?"

While speaking, Dong Xiao'er's big eyes full of charm kept casting meaningful glances at Lu Tingxiang.

In terms of age, Dong Xiao'er is older than Bai Shuang, and even a few years older than Lu Tingxiang. In terms of appearance, she is far less fairy and jade than white frost, and the country is fragrant.

But Dong Xiao'er was born with a special charm that is irresistible to men, like charming, bewitching, and gorgeous...... Her methods of seducing men are even more extreme, and she is perfect.

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of another woman who is very different from the white frost, Lu Tingxiang, who is strong-blooded, will inevitably be distracted and imaginative.

"This ......"

"Ahem!"

Without waiting for Lu Tingxiang to answer, a light cough suddenly sounded from behind the two. Immediately afterwards, Sikong Zhu, who was full of suspicion, looked at Dong Xiao'er with an unkind gaze, and walked towards Lu Tingxiang quickly.

"Bamboo Lao?"

Lu Tingxiang was stunned, his trance spirit was instantly sober, and when he looked at Dong Xiao'er again, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "This woman's charm is really powerful!"

"Childe, the news of Ding Qinghong has arrived. ”

Sikong Zhu handed a carrier pigeon to Lu Tingxiang, and at the same time stood sideways between him and Dong Xiao'er, as if he was deliberately separating the two from a distance.

"It's finally here!"

Lu Tingxiang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly opened the letter, read it carefully, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

"In the early hours of this morning, Ding Qinghong has found Liu Xunyi's whereabouts, and he urged us to do it as soon as possible. ”

"Where is it?" Sikong Zhu and Dong Xiao'er asked in unison.

"Ulju Inn. Lu Tingxiang replied, "Ding Qinghong said in the letter that Zhao Xin was ill, and they decided to rest at the Ulzhou Inn for two days, and rushed to Jingbei camp on May 29, God helped me!"

As they spoke, Ding Ao, Lu Yao and others rushed over when they heard the news, and after learning of Liu Xunyi's whereabouts, they couldn't help but gear up and get ready to go.

"Jingbei camp?" Sikong Zhu muttered, "It is Sui Zuo's territory, and it is said that there are 50,000 elite Mongolian soldiers stationed. ”

"Ulju is only a day's journey from the camp in the north of Gyeongda, and there are many Mongolian soldiers and horses patrolling along the way. If they are allowed to set off from the Ulzhou Inn, our chances of intercepting and killing Liu Xunyi will become very slim. Dong Xiao'er pondered, "Without further ado, we should do it as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"The same is true of Ding Qinghong's advice to us, it's too late to deploy today, and his suggestion is to do it late tomorrow night. I wonder what you think?"

"There's another trouble!" Ding Ao interjected, "Most of the Jianghu who chased and killed Liu Xunyi gathered around Xijing, since Ding Qinghong could find Liu Xunyi's traces, presumably others could also detect the clues one after another." If someone can't bear to do it in advance, wouldn't it be a surprise to startle the snake? Once Liu Xunyi knows that the Ulzhou Inn is no longer safe, they will definitely not sit still. ”

"Reasonable!" Facing Ding Ao's worries, Lu Tingxiang couldn't deny it, "This matter may be a trouble for us, but it is a piece of cake for the Hexi Qin clan. ”

"What does Lu Gongzi mean ......"

"Elder Zhu!" Lu Tingxiang ignored Dong Xiao'er's questioning, and instructed Sikong Zhu directly, "Tell the three heroes of the Qin family and let them release the news in the name of the Qin family, and say that Liu Xunyi will be in the ...... tomorrow Xijing Mansion appeared to attract the attention of the heroes of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Childe wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Yes, I don't care who the three heroes of the Qin clan are called, under what name, or in what method, in short, I want them to help me completely clear the scene before tomorrow evening, so that all those who get in the way will stay away from the Ulzhou Inn. ”

"There is also the government!" Ding Ao reminded, "After all, Ulzhou is the territory of the Mongols, and Liu Xunyi will inevitably collude with the local government in the name of sending relatives......

"Don't worry about this matter!" Lu Tingxiang interrupted, "After a turmoil in Yunya Town, there were only a few people left in the team to send off relatives, and they disguised themselves along the way, and they did not alarm any government officials, so they wanted to come...... They can't trust the crowded government, and they don't want to repeat the mistakes of Yunya Town. Therefore, as long as Liu Xunyi firmly believes that his whereabouts have not been exposed, and they have the mind that more is better than less, they will definitely not take the initiative to contact the Ulzhou Mansion. ”

"That's great!" Ding Ao insisted, "but it's better to ...... just in case Let the Qin family secretly buy the Ulzhou Mansion, and make it clear that it is a personal grudge between the rivers and lakes and has nothing to do with others. Let the government turn a blind eye, and don't interfere with whatever happens tomorrow night. ”

"Ding Qinghong is responsible for finding out Liu Xunyi's whereabouts, we are responsible for doing it, and the Qin family's three heroes are responsible for the aftermath, as long as the three of us work together, we are bound to be unstoppable. Lu Tingxiang looked proud and said firmly, "The soldiers are fast! I have transferred a full hundred elite disciples from the mansion, and with the help of the two masters of Jinjianwu, I don't believe that I can't deal with a little Liu Xunyi. This time, I can't go home empty-handed!"

......

At noon, Qin Da was invited to have a secret meeting with Sikong Zhu in Yingtianlou. An hour later, the two departed one after another.

As soon as Qin Da, who was full of solemnity, returned to the Qin Mansion, he summoned Qin Er and Qin San to his room and conveyed Lu Tingxiang's meaning to them.

"I thought it would take ten days and a half to do this soon, but I didn't expect Lu Tingxiang's actions to be so fast. ”

When Qin Er and Qin San listened to Qin Da's relay, their faces were full of consternation. Especially Qin San, he made no secret of his admiration for Lu Tingxiang: "Although this person is young, he is very old-fashioned. He was far more decisive and daring than we thought. ”

"Why didn't we find Lu Tingxiang so cunning before?" Qin Er couldn't cry and laughed, muttering to himself.

"In the past, there were two mountains in the rivers and lakes, one was Luo Tianjin and the other was Jin Fuyu. The two of them stomped their feet, and the entire Central Plains martial arts had to tremble three times. With them, don't say Jiangnan Lufu, even Shaolin and Wudang don't dare to be too ostentatious. At that time, all the eyes of the heroes of the world were focused on the two of them, and there would be an earth-shattering storm every three or five times. At that time, Lu Tingxiang was a young man, and his foundation was not stable, so he had been lurking under Jin Fuyu, and he was inconspicuous and dewy. Qin Da said with emotion, "A martial arts conference, followed by a 'traitor' rebellion, has caused a great damage to the vitality of Jin Jianwu and Xian Wangfu, and the original martial arts pattern of mutual checks and balances has been completely disrupted. For all parties, the current turmoil is both an opportunity and a challenge. To put it mildly, now any bull, ghost, snake and god dare to jump out and toss, and they all hope to take advantage of the turmoil in the rivers and lakes to gain a good future for themselves. The head of Wudang, Qingfeng, is in his old age, and he has always boasted of being quiet and inactive, but now he is also sitting on the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance with joy? Not to mention the young Lu Tingxiang, how can he be content with the status quo?"

"I don't know what method Lu Tingxiang used to persuade Jin Fuyu to help him behind his back, but I'm sure that once this success is achieved, the status of Jiangnan Lufu in the rivers and lakes will definitely rise. Qin San said bitterly, "On the other hand, our Qin family, since Qin Ku took office, it can be said that the rivers are declining and in a slump. After the same famous family, they are both young and have martial arts. Why is the gap between Qin Ku and Lu Tingxiang so huge? One does not want to forge ahead, is content with the status quo, and ignores the rise and fall of the family. The other is Hongqian Fengli, full of ambition, and bent on strengthening the ancestral industry. Alas!"

As for this, Qin San looked at Qin Da and Qin Er, who were silent, with a hesitant gaze, and said meaningfully: "Big brother, second brother, in fact, we should be self-aware, whether it is martial arts or power schemes, they are far from the real overlord and hero. Just one Sikong Zhu is enough to play with the three of us brothers in the palm of your hand, not to mention Lu Tingxiang, and even Teng Sanshi, Tang Xuan, and Yin Baimei...... Even Qingfeng and Jin Fuyu's generation, if they fight with them one day, with only the means of the three of us, I am afraid that we will not even know how they died. ”

"Third child, what does it mean to say these frustrating words at this juncture?" Qin Er raised his eyebrows, his tone quite displeased.

"I mean...... If Qin Kuken returns to the right path, his potential may not be less than that of Lu Tingxiang......"

"Nonsense!" Qin Er was furious, and immediately slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said indignantly, "If Qin Ku can be up to the task, why should the three of us brothers sigh here? No matter how bad he is, he is our nephew after all." According to what you just said, it seems that we are accused of being greedy for profit, and we are bent on pushing our own nephew to die?"

"Second brother, I have no intention of doing this......"

"Okay!" Qin Da's face sank, and he waved his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two, "Right now, since we have boarded Lu Tingxiang and Jin Fuyu's boat, we can only go all the way to the dark." If you regret it now, it is not pleasing inside and out, and the two sides are not people. Therefore, it is not too late to discuss other matters after Liu Xunyi is resolved. ”

Qin Da's words were reasonable, which made Qin Er and Qin San look ashamed, and quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in their hearts.

"Last night, Qin Ku played all night in the backyard, and he was still asleep at the moment, which was just convenient for us to do things. Qin San pondered and said, "I will immediately send someone to release the news and attract the heroes of the rivers and lakes to Xijing Mansion." ”

"I prepared a generous gift, and then I personally went to the Ulju Mansion. Qin Er echoed.

"Not only that!" Qin Da said thoughtfully, word by word, "As the saying goes, 'send the Buddha to the west'." Late at night on the 29th, we also had to lead people to rush to the Ulzhou Inn to help Lu Tingxiang. At least...... I want the people of Jinjianwu to see with their own eyes that the Qin clan in Hexi is full of sincerity to the master of Jinwu. ”

Qin San was secretly taken aback, and asked rhetorically, "Big brother is worried about Lu Tingxiang crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?"

"Compared with Lu Tingxiang, I believe in Jin Fuyu more. After all, when Qin Ming was alive, our relationship with Jin Jianwu had always been the most intimate of the four great families. To this day, I still want to maintain that solidity. Jin Jianwu was deeply injured after the martial arts conference, and now it is the time to make a comeback, as long as we are on the line with Jin Fuyu, who is rich and powerful, we are not afraid of the scheming Lu Tingxiang unloading and killing donkeys!"
