Hidden Volume 10: Seeing people is people, and seeing ghosts is ghosts
10. Seeing people is people, and seeing ghosts is ghosts
Was Lu Jiukong too cruel ☯ to let the person who didn't leave an inch of grass have to confess, or was that person not a person who didn't leave an inch of grass at all, but he lied that he was, hoping that Lu Jiukong would be afraid of the prestige of leaving no grass and keep him alone, or was the confession itself also part of the assassination?
Thinking of this, Wu Yuetian hurriedly asked, "Lu Shaoxia, can the assassin say that he has accomplices ☯, and is there a next action?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw that the others were looking at him with strange eyes, and Lu Jiukong's eyes were even more angry.
Just when Wu Yuetian was at a loss, Lu Kun coughed twice and said, "Wu Shaoxia is a little tired from traveling and driving, maybe he was too weak just now and didn't hear the conversation of us." The Assassin had already confessed, he still had accomplices ☯, and his strength was even greater than his. The two had already discussed that if the assassination failed and he was captured, then he would commit suicide on the spot. The other was assassinated again three days later. ”
"In that case, what are the plans of the old-timers? ”
Before Lu Kun could answer, Lu Jiukong on the side was already impatient: "Such a trivial matter, don't bother Wu Daxia." Wu Daxia is a guest from afar, and he must be sleepy and tired all the way, so it's better to rest early. ”
Wu Yuetian understood that Lu Jiukong didn't want to involve himself in this matter at all. So he said knowingly: "Everyone, there is indeed some physical exhaustion in the next place, here to confess the sins and go down to rest, if there is any use in the lower place, you should do your best in the next place." ”
The people in the field were all idling around Lu Jiu, Lu Jiukong didn't speak, and the others didn't pay attention to him. Lu Kun saw that he was frozen there now, and it was impossible to keep it. So he politely said a few words, and ordered someone to send Wu Yuetian to the guest room. Just when Wu Yuetian turned around and was about to leave, someone came to report that Liu Ruyan was coming.
In this era, men and women are not allowed to meet casually, and it is rude to do so. A Confucian scholar like Wu Yuetian should not let his wife enter a bunch of men.
However, Wu Yuetian is not that kind of rotten Confucian, not to mention that the people in ☯ the rivers and lakes don't care about these subsections at all. Before her wife got married to her, she often dealt with other men, and if she was careful, she had to worry about when it would be a head.
Mr. Lu entertained them like this, if the couple did not thank each other in person, they would not be able to say anything about the etiquette. So he asked the servant to call his wife in.
Liu Ruyan broke into the rivers and lakes earlier than Wu Yuetian, although among the martial arts masters, her fame was not as high as Wu Yuetian. But looking at the entire rivers and lakes, there are more people who value her than Wu Yuetian.
So when she walked into the living room, everyone greeted her with fists. Although Liu Ruyan is not a simple person, it has been difficult for her to keep ☯ a low profile for many years, but it is not something that everyone can see if they want to, especially after getting married.
These people have never seen Liu Ruyan, and just like when they first heard Wu Yuetian's name, everyone also wants to meet this woman. In fact, their expectations were not disappointed, and Liu Ruyan's beauty ☯ shocked the audience. There were originally many celebrities in the Lu Mansion, but most of them were helping Lu Jiukong to win over forces everywhere, and they only recently received a letter from Lu Kun, and they were still on their way back.
Now the people ☯ in the hall are all people who wander in the middle and lower classes of the rivers and lakes, and wine and women are things they enjoy in time. Their money can only allow them to occasionally spend on women with ordinary appearances, who have never seen such a fairy-like woman. Lu Jiukong has been practicing in the mountains with ☯ his master, and he has been busy participating in the election of the leader of the martial arts alliance since he got off the mountain, and he has never seen any women.
Liu Ruyan is known as one of the four beauties ☯ in the rivers and lakes of "Sinking Fish and Falling Geese", and even Lu Kun, who is used to seeing big battles, can't help but lose his mind. But he is an old ☯ man after all, and he quickly calmed down. Looking at the ugly appearance of everyone, they will not be angry. Even his precious grandson ☯, who has always been proud of himself, has such an expression.
But when you are angry, it's not good to get angry on this occasion, otherwise you won't have face, and even the other party's husband ☯ and wife will not be able to step down ☯. Offending both of them at once is definitely not a good thing. Let's not talk about Wu Yuetian's real ☯ strength and interpersonal relationships in the rivers and lakes, even if he has the financial resources in his family, he can buy half of the people in the rivers and lakes.
Besides, that Liu Ruyan is behind the entire Emei faction. In the Emei faction, except for the Wind Thunder Master, she has the highest status, so no matter what time it is, these two people can't afford to offend.
Then he coughed heavily, and brought back the souls of the people. When everyone came to their senses, they looked at each other, and they all smiled and began to interrupt the conversation.
Lu Kun also felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes, brushed his beard, and stepped forward to salute Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan also hurriedly returned the salute, and then saluted everyone back, and then sat down.
Wu Yuetian knew that everyone still had to discuss countermeasures, and it was inconvenient for his wife and his wife to be here, so he said to Lu Kun: "Mr. Lu, my husband ☯ and wife will go back to the room to rest first." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Ruyan and left.
As soon as the two of them turned around, they heard Lu Jiukong suddenly change ☯ his attitude and said politely: "Brother Wu, in three days, we will deal with assassins who have no grass left, and these people are ruthless. Why don't Brother Wu stay and discuss countermeasures with us and others. ”
Since Wu Yuetian stayed, Liu Ruyan stayed in order to help her husband reduce his burden.
Everyone talked about the arrangement of the past three days.
After hearing this, Lu Jiukong asked Wu Yuetian ☯, "Brother Wu, what do you think of this arrangement?"
The layout is very simple, nothing more than waiting for the rabbit and catching the turtle in the urn. Even the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family can come up with it quickly. But those Jianghu people ☯, in order to show their ability and insight, you say a word to me, and insert a lot of useless nonsense, and are refuted by others. In this way, a lot of time was lost.
After the final plan was decided, Wu Yuetian nodded and said, "Yes, but you can't arrange the arrangement only three days ago." The other party's words cannot be disbelieved, nor can they be fully believed. They said they would take action in three days, but that could also be to confuse us, and maybe they would start acting when we relaxed our minds. ”
"Yes, Brother Wu's analysis is reasonable, I don't know what Liu Nuxia's opinion is?"
"You have a point, and I think so. ”
And when they had made an end of their deliberation, they went back to rest.
Before dawn the next day, Liu Ruyan got up to wash, and her husband was no longer around. Wu Yuetian has always had the habit of getting up early, but today he got up earlier than usual. And he didn't wake up his sleeping wife, but he was alone outside the house quietly breathing in the fresh air, exhaling the old and accepting the new.
At this moment, Lu Kun also came to the courtyard, and when he saw that Wu Yuetian was also there, he happily stepped forward to greet him.
"Wu Shaoxia, I got up so early, I worked hard all night, and I didn't sleep for a while. ”
Wu Yuetian ☯ said: "Didn't the old-timers also get up quite early." ”
"When people get old, they sleep less. ”
"I have had the habit of getting up early to read since I was a child, and now although I have to deal with the business of the family and the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I can't read more sage books, but the habit of getting up early can't be changed. ”
The more the two chatted, the more energetic they became, and Lu Kun simply invited him into his bedroom. The two of them eat together.
Liu Ruyan freshened up after the meal and used some refreshments, but when she found that her husband had not returned, she felt a little uneasy. Although Wu Yuetian said that it is difficult to have opponents in the world, he has not set foot in the rivers and lakes, and he has intersected with anyone he meets. Although it is said that his friends are all honest and kind people, who can guarantee that he will not meet treacherous and cunning people in the future.
Liu Ruyan has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and naturally thinks about a lot of things, although she is now a guest at the Lu family, she has already paid attention to those people last night. Among these people, Lu Kun, as an elder, is also more loyal. Those martial artists are mediocre in martial arts, at most they are just patting sycophants and flattering. What caught Liu Ruyan's attention the most was the land and nine skies.
From the outside, Liu Ruyan is a humble gentleman, but in fact he is full of scheming. When he faced Lu Kun, the people under him, Wu Yuetian and himself, there were four different faces. Especially for her flattering ☯ face, she really can't wait to punch it. Thinking of this, he began to worry a little about his husband.
So she took her sword and went out of the house to look for someone. Although it is in someone else's house, the children of the rivers and lakes have always kept their weapons with them, so it is not rude to walk in Lu's house with weapons.
The Lu family is a large family, with many houses, pavilions, water pavilions, and garden rockeries interspersed ☯ with each other. Liu Ruyan searched for a circle and didn't find it, so she planned to go back to the room first, maybe her husband had already returned to the house.
Although it was her first time here, the vigilance of those who practiced martial arts had not relaxed, so as soon as she left the room, she secretly noted down the terrain. Following the route in her memory, Liu Ruyan soon found the courtyard where the house she lived in was located.
As soon as I was about to push the door in, I heard movement in the courtyard next door. Liu Ruyan was afraid that something would happen to her husband, so she followed the wall to the moon door hole and poked her head out to take a look.
It turned out that next to the guest room where the couple lived was a martial arts training ground, and at this time, Lu Jiukong was leading everyone to practice martial arts. These people may have just arrived here, and they haven't started training yet, and they are moving their muscles and bones.
In fact, only Lu Jiukong was active, and everyone else was patting around him. Lu Jiukong was being said by everyone, and I don't know who said "Mrs. Wu".
Hearing that it was Liu Ruyan coming, Lu Jiukong was overjoyed, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and turned around to come to Liu Ruyan's side. Seeing that Liu Ruyan was alone, Wu Yuetian was not by his side, and he felt that this was an excellent opportunity for the other party to give him a performance. So he didn't care about the man's dignity, and bent down to give a deep salute.
said: "Little ☯ Sister Liu, Xiaosheng is polite. ”
When she said this, Liu Ruyan had goosebumps all over her body.
Although Wu Yuetian is a person in the rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, he is still from Confucianism, and there are more Confucian bachelors in his family than in the rivers and lakes.
But these people are usually like that, and they are more sincere in their words. is not like this Lu Jiukong, who has a lot of flowers and intestines, and the words he says are also ugly.
Liu Ruyan wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem very rude to do so. People say that women should talk about "three subordinates", that is, "follow the father at home, follow the husband when married, and follow the son when you are old". If Liu Ruyan behaves too rudely, although others won't say anything on the surface, they will secretly say that her teacher ☯ can't teach her.
"If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy". Now that he is married to the Wu family, people will also say that the Wu family has no tutor.
There is nothing to lose by losing some face, but she always has to think about her husband's family and her mother's family.
Thinking of this, she also said to Lu Jiukong, "Lu Shaoxia, the little woman ☯ is polite." Lu Shaoxia got up so early to practice ☯. ”
Hearing Liu Ruyan's honorific title, I was also a little proud in my heart.
"Although I was born in a family of eunuchs, I am also a person in the rivers and lakes, and I have been getting up so early to practice ☯ after I became a teacher. ”
That being said, Liu Ruyan hates such people even more. The practice of martial arts people ☯ pays attention to "dog vigil, chicken morning". It means that when you sleep at night, you are very alert to the slightest movement. Before dawn, as soon as the rooster crows, he has to get up and practice ☯.
Now that the sun has risen, it is generally not too late to get up at this time, but for people like Lu Jiukong, it is lazy to get up now.
