Chapter 22: The Abyss
"What do you say about thinking about the people, aren't you afraid of them?"
Jia Rudao didn't care, and as soon as Long Sleeves threw off Lu Wende, he left from here.
He had enough of these things.
Looking at the distant figure, Lu Wende complained: "Although your sister is the favorite concubine of the official family, she is also the queen of loyalty. But now in a critical situation, the official family may not be willing to offend the Chifeng Army for you! As he was talking, two more people came out of the house, and when one of them saw Lu Wende, he immediately shouted: "Big brother!"
When Lu Wende heard someone calling him, he immediately looked sideways, and immediately became surprised: "It turned out to be Xiao Liuzi! Why are you here?"
Just because that person is his sixth brother Lu Wenhuan, who is different from Lu Wende's martial arts, this Lu Wenhuan is quite talented and good at poetry, so he came to Lin'an before and wanted to try the imperial examination to see if he could be named on the gold list, and also to have a glorious ancestor.
Lu Wenhuan was also happy, stepped forward and shook Lu Wende's hands quite excitedly, and said excitedly: "Brother Han Fu and I went to Beijing to catch up with the candidates, because we saw that this place was very lively, so we ran here to watch the scenery." But I didn't expect to see my eldest brother here!"
"Oh, and this time, do you have a chance?"
Lu Wende was happy, he believed that he was superb in martial arts, but he had no choice but to be unable to learn, so he gave up the imperial examination early and threw himself into the Song army to find another way out.
Lu Wenhuan looked stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Lin'an City, how can my subtle tricks enter the eyes of the court?" ”
Lu Wende took a closer look, and saw that this person's figure was slightly arched, it should be made by a long time at the desk, his face was white and there was no beard, he was obviously a good person, and there were bursts of surging sounds like waves in his body, it was obvious that his cultivation had reached its peak, and he should surpass himself.
"Then I don't know who this is?" Lu Wende was secretly surprised, and hurriedly bowed down and asked.
However, this person frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased, and when he was about to speak, Lu Wenhuan hurriedly introduced: "Brother, this person is a native of Quzhou, whose surname is Mengyan, and he is a senior disciple of Bailudong Academy, and he is also a disciple of Zheng Qingzhi of the current Political Affairs Hall. ”
"Oh! It turned out to be a senior disciple of the White Deer Cave Academy, Lu Wende's eyes were dusty, and he didn't see it, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lu Wende hurriedly bowed down and bowed, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
At that time, in the Song Dynasty, the four major academies stood side by side, among which there were many immortals in the world, and many of the students cultivated were also broadcast in the imperial court, entangled with each other, forming a huge civil and official system, although he was a person under Zhao Kui, but after all, he was not a disciple of his own family, and he naturally did not dare to slack off in the face of these high-ranking disciples.
But Liu Mengyan smiled slightly, and his chin tapped at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, which was regarded as a response to Lu Wende: "It seems that you are Lu Wende?"
"That's right, it's down there!"
Seeing the other party's contemptuous attitude, Lu Wende's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, but he quickly let go of it when he thought about it.
At this moment, he is just an ordinary school official, and the other party is a senior disciple of the White Deer Cave Academy, the two are not at the same level at all, if you annoy the other party, you are afraid that you will be retaliated against by the other party.
"I have heard of your deeds. Liu Mengyan continued: "To be able to take the head of a person among the ten thousand armies, you have the courage of Guan Yu in the past. It's just a pity that if you only have the power of martial arts, you are only afraid of your life, but it will be difficult......" While shaking his head, he was still amazed, as if he was mocking Lu Wende.
Standing on the side, Lu Wenhuan also sensed the ridicule in Liumengyan's mouth, so he persuaded from the side: "Brother Han Fu, I know that you have always been hostile to the generals, but if it weren't for their bloody battles, how could you ensure peace and harmony here?
"Alas, you, still don't understand anything?" Liu Mengyan looked at Lu Wenhuan, and the corners of his mouth were full of ridicule.
Lu Wenhuan was angry between his eyebrows, first he just shook his head slightly, then raised his voice suddenly, and shouted, "I'm sorry." I really don't understand, I just know that he's my big brother?
"If you are obsessed, or even shield and condone your brother, you will naturally know the reason in the future. Liu Mengyan didn't pay attention to the two people present, and with that arrogant look on his face, Shi Shiran left from here.
Although the Lu brothers are angry, but this is not their hometown Huoqiu County, Yu Lin'an in the street to beat the scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam, will definitely make the current Southern Dynasty officials angry, and in the end they can only be unlucky.
For this matter, the two of them can only put it aside.
And Lu Wenhuan hadn't seen his eldest brother for a long time, and he asked Lu Wende about the frontline war again and again when he missed it.
It wasn't until this moment that he figured out why so many people were busy in this official mansion.
"It turns out that the commander of the Red Phoenix Army is coming?" muttered in his mouth, Lu Wenhuan was very interested in that person, and was able to pull out an army from the heart of Mongolia with the strength of one person, and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, this is like a legendary plot, which naturally makes these students look forward to it, and Lu Wenhuan is naturally not surprised.
Lu Wende replied, "That's right. She was indeed coming. However, when he thought about the performance of Liumengyan and Jia Rudao, Lu Wende felt that there seemed to be several undercurrents in Lin'an City, and these undercurrents were obviously aimed at Xiao Feng of the Red Phoenix Army. Thinking of this, Lu Wende felt even more in his heart: "Could it be that something big will happen this time?"
"Brother, you have also worked with the Red Phoenix Army, but I don't know if you have seen this woman?"
Lu Wenhuan knew it for the first time, and opened his mouth to ask: "Is it really as the storyteller said, but the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth?"
Lu Wende suddenly smiled, gently touched Lu Wenhuan's head, and said with great concern: "Confucius once said: 'Zi Bu is silent, strange and confused! These are just folk legends, how can they be considered true? You should take a good rest and review your textbooks, so that you can become famous in one fell swoop in the imperial examination." Do you know?" Seeing the smug appearance of Liumengyan, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he couldn't compare to the other party's fame after several hard battles, which really made Lu Wende feel angry in his heart.
It's just that the strength of the four academies is so huge, how can he fight alone?
"Brother. I understand. ”
Lu Wenhuan shook his head again and again, thinking about the slander of his father and brother by Liumengyan before, he also felt angry in his heart, and he had already secretly made up his mind to pay attention to it, and decided to become famous in the imperial examination in one fell swoop, only in this way can he be worthy of cultivation in the clan.
The two of them had been at the ends of the world before, each on one side, and when they met here today, they felt extremely happy, and some of the hazy drowsiness was also dispelled, so they found a secluded place to talk to each other, until Dongfang Bai's belly was flushed, and they each leaned on the pillar and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there were several cannon sounds in the distance, which suddenly woke the two of them up.
"What's that sound?"
Lu Wenhuan's whole person was like being filled with a bucket of ice water, and he woke up in an instant.
Lu Wende listened intently and complained: "It's artillery!"
"Artillery, is it the artillery that you once mentioned and was first manufactured by the Red Phoenix Army?" Lu Wenhuan immediately realized, and praised in his mouth: "I didn't expect this artillery to be so powerful." After a single shot and a sonic boom for several miles, it is no wonder that the Mongolian army is invincible and has no ability to resist at all!"
"I don't know, let's take a look?" Lu Wende looked over, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Lu Wenhuan nodded hurriedly, his expression was extremely excited: "That's right! And such a big movement, if it weren't for the permission of the official family, it should be impossible for others to carry out." Could it be that Xiao Feng, the commander of the Red Phoenix Army, is here?"
"Perhaps!" Lu Wende also bowed slightly.
The two of them made up their minds, and immediately got up from the pavilion and swept into the distance. After walking for about half an hour, the two of them came to the side of the street, and immediately saw the forbidden troops standing on both sides of the street, all of them wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, and their cold faces flashed with anger, and they told those who dared to offend to be in different places.
Holding his head high, Lu Wenhuan looked into the distance with all his might, and saw a luxury carriage stepping into it from the city gate, and through the curtain, he could faintly see a young girl sitting in it, so he said, "Is that the commander of the Red Phoenix Army?"
"It should be!" Lu Wende's body tensed.
Although they were a mile away, he could still feel a deterrent aura from the other party, which was not much better than Zhao Kui, and he was almost out of breath.
"Eight carriages, and the forbidden army to open the way. This Red Phoenix Army commander is so magnificent, how can he be so valued today?" Lu Wenhuan looked at it, and at the same time felt more and more surprised, and couldn't help but smack his tongue and ask.
Lu Wende replied: "This person's cultivation has already reached the earth immortal, and he has the power of the Snail Emperor to protect his body, even the current saint is difficult to fight. And although the princes of the court are strong, but they are not dying, if they fight with this woman, how can they be the enemy? What's more, this woman is not just one person, and the two apprentices under her command are also the same as her, achieving the body of an earth immortal, and there are as many as 100,000 armored soldiers under her command, otherwise how can they resist Mongolia and take away the Jingzhao Mansion for thousands of miles?"
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a genius in this world!" Lu Wenhuan was even more surprised, and there was only envy in his eyes.
He originally thought that in this world, characters like Liumengyan were geniuses, but he didn't expect that there were still characters like Xiao Feng in this world, and such a gap made him even more afraid, and he almost didn't dare to look at each other directly.
Lu Wende also smiled bitterly: "That's right! There are always some people in this world who make you wonder if you don't work hard enough." ”
It is necessary to know that Xiao Feng and him are also the same age, both of them are in their twenties, but now his official career is blocked, so that he needs to be accommodating in this Lin'an City in every way in order to be able to show his talents, but the other party is now a prince with tens of thousands of armor and a territory of thousands of miles.
Such a gap is really a world apart.
