Chapter 55, Liu Zihao
The General's Mansion was brightly lit at night, presumably because it had just been attacked by assassins, one was to capture the thief, and the other was to deter.
Xu Ming and his entourage of five were taken by General Zhao to Liu Zihao's general's mansion.
There is a pair of unicorns on the left and right at the entrance of the general's mansion, and you can still feel a trace of cold breath when you walk in, thinking that it is carved with special stone. The plaque on the lintel has three gilt characters: General's Mansion. From the outside, the mansion looks majestic and imposing.
There was an old man dressed as a scholar standing at the door, and when he saw General Zhao, he hurriedly trotted up to greet him: "Hello General Zhao, these are the guests that the master wants to meet!"
General Zhao hugged his fist at the old man: "Exactly, Steward Qian." ”
Steward Qian nodded, bowed down and made a gesture of please: "Please enter the mansion with the old man, the general has been waiting for a long time." ”
Looking at the back of the old man leading the way in front, Xu Ming and Chu Feng glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and kept up with the old man's pace.
The old man led them through the main gate of the General's Mansion.
The old man led the way in front, although his sideburns were gray, his pace was not slow, and Xu Ming also followed with his head down all the way, not daring to look around. For Liu Zihao, the rumored Loulan guard, who was decisive in killing, he was still a little empty in his heart.
"We're in the light of Yu'an. Walking in the corridor, Chu Feng quietly transmitted the voice to Xu Ming.
"Why?" Xu Ming didn't know.
"Do you think that with our identity, we can enter through the main gate?" Chu Feng smiled self-deprecatingly, "The outcasts of the Divine Rune Sect and the concubines of the Purple Sun Sect?"
"Hey, hey, don't take me with you. Xu Ming glared at him, "Maybe it was because of my identity as the true inheritance of the Ziyang Sect that we were allowed to enter through the main gate." ”
"That's also the light of Miss Guan Chunuan, what does it have to do with you. ”
"I'll go!"
Xu Ming and Chu Feng teased each other all the way to the main room of the General's Mansion.
"Wait a minute, let the old man be old. Steward Qian arched his hand, bowed slightly, and entered the room.
At this time, Xu Ming had the opportunity to take a closer look at the interior of the General's Mansion.
The place where they are seems to be a small courtyard, with a rockery next to it, and there are many potted plants and flowers around it. The General's Mansion at night is not very quiet, there are some noises coming from nowhere, and some insects can be heard in the courtyard, but there is a lot of fireworks, which is not the same as the General's Mansion that Xu Ming should be suppressing and suppressing in his heart.
After a while, Steward Qian came out with two maids. The old man bowed his hand to everyone: "The master wants to see Xu Ming and Chu Feng, the two little brothers, and the three girls should also move to the garden to rest for a while." As he spoke, the two maids had already come to the third girl: "Please also invite the young ladies to come with the slaves." ”
"Go!" Xu Ming looked at Guan Chunuan and Li Yihuan who were looking at him.
Chu Feng also whispered to Li Yu'an: "It's okay, you go first, and we'll look for you in a while." ”
Watching the third girl leave slowly, Steward Qian gave his hand again: "Two, please! The master is waiting in the study!"
"Let's go!" Xu Ming and Chu Feng followed Steward Qian into the room.
......
At the same time, behind a granary in the military camp of Loulanguan.
More than half of the soldiers in the barracks were sent out to capture the thieves, and it was pitch black in the barracks at this time.
"Brother Ma, don't say it, this Liu Zihao really has some ability. In the dark, Xiao Wu coughed violently.
Brother Ma's tone was also a little weak, and there was some self-blame: "I was negligent." I thought it would be foolproof to sneak into Loulan Pass, but who knew that the guards of the General's Mansion were so tight, as if they knew that we would come. ”
"It's okay, Brother Ma, old horses often stumble, not to mention you, a young horse!" Xiao Wu smiled and patted Brother Ma on the shoulder.
Looking at Xiao Wu, who could still make jokes, Brother Ma also smiled rarely: "Okay, let's think about how to enter the General's Mansion again, we only have three days left." ”
"It's too difficult to kill people in the General's Mansion, and we can only do it when Liu Zihao leaves the General's Mansion. Xiao Wu touched his chin, "And we don't know the realm of this person, it is said that he is the peak of the gods, but I have slapped him today, and I feel far more than that." ”
"So maybe he has broken through to the Void Realm?" said Brother Ma thoughtfully.
"Or what secret method he used, maybe he didn't fight seriously after all. Xiao Wu took out a cigarette from his pants and lit it.
Brother Ma nodded: "But it's better to be careful! go and investigate tomorrow and make plans again!"
......
Xu Ming and Chu Feng followed the old man around and around and came to a wooden door, and a sitting figure could be faintly seen from the patterns carved on the door.
Steward Qian knocked lightly on the wooden door and said respectfully, "General, people have brought." ”
"The hard-earned money is old, let them in. The man's voice seemed a little weak, like a weak scholar, not the rumored iron-blooded general.
"Don't dare. Qian Lao pushed open the door and made a "please" look.
Xu Ming and Chu Feng nodded to each other, took a deep breath, and entered the room.
The door behind him was closed by Steward Qian, and a gentle "bang" almost provoked Xu Ming's cold sweat.
General Liu Zihao, who was mighty in Longxi, was sitting at the table at this time, not knowing what was written. The general didn't speak, and Xu Ming and Chu Feng also stood without saying a word, their eyebrows lowered.
Xu Ming finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Liu Zihao.
Liu Zihao was wearing a white robe, combing his hair in a bun, and writing something on the desk with his head down, at first glance he looked like a gentle Confucian scholar, but he did not look like a high-ranking general.
Not long after, Liu Zihao stopped writing. He raised his head and looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and smiled: "Don't be afraid of me, let's talk." ”
Xu Ming and Chu Feng slowly raised their heads and looked at Liu Zihao.
Liu Zihao's face is not handsome, but he is not ugly, and his eyes are sharp and heroic, and he is indeed very Confucian general.
"You are Xu Ming?" Liu Zihao looked at Xu Ming.
Xu Ming hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "It's exactly below." ”
Looking at Xu Ming, who was a little nervous, Liu Zihao smiled: "What's the matter, the senior disciples of the Ziyang Sect are still afraid that I won't succeed?"
Xu Ming looked at Liu Zihao, suddenly had an idea, and smiled slightly: "It's not that I'm afraid of you, but I respect you." ”
"Oh, respect me?" Liu Zihao showed a very interested look, "Why do you respect me, I am the general of the Liang Kingdom, and I am still guarding the land of the original Jing Kingdom." ”
"Jingliang is a family, what is the difference between you and me?" Xu Ming's brain was running fast at this time, "Yu Li, you are a general on the border of the country, and an elder below, I should respect you as a citizen, and I should also respect you as a junior." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ming looked at Liu Zihao carefully, and seeing that he was still smiling, Xu Mingcai calmed down and continued: "Yu Qing, you could have handed us over to the Qingyang Sect, and you could have won the favor of such a big sect as the Qingyang Sect, but you didn't, I should respect you after receiving your favor." I should always respect you. ”
"How do you know that I didn't hand you over to the Qingyang Sect when I looked for you?" Liu Zihao asked with a smile.
"You won't let the important criminals that the Qingyang Sect wants to arrest come in from the main entrance!" Xu Ming replied with a smile.
Liu Zihao smiled after hearing this: "Don't say anything else, just your mouth, but it's neat, no wonder you can coax the little princess of the Ziyang Sect!"
Xu Ming's face was embarrassed, but he didn't want to say anything, just laughed: "Yes, yes." ”
Liu Zihao nodded at him, and then looked at Chu Feng: "Actually, I am looking for you mainly to see you." ”
"Me?" Chu Feng was a little surprised: "Please also ask the general to make it clear." ”
"I'm also from the Rune Sect, so I'll call you a junior brother. Hearing Liu Zihao say this, Xu Ming's heart settled down, Liu Zihao said so, and he didn't think he would embarrass them.
"Actually, I can know that you came to Loulan, it was Li Guogong who told me. ”
"Li Guogong?" Chu Feng didn't react for a while, "Which Li Guogong?"
"The lord of Mighty Town, Li Mu, the Duke of Weiguo. ”
