Lu Qian secretly calculated to himself, knowing that he was just talking nicely about the scene, but secretly he didn't know how to resent it, whether he should report more or less? While coping, he said: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Master Ling, I can't hide anything from you, this ...... It's just out of fear for your safety. There aren't too many people, it's about ......" Xuan Shuang said: "Slow, come and say in my ear." Keep your voice soft, don't startle people away. ”

Lu Qian didn't have time to think about what conspiracy he had, so in order to win the trust of others, he had to pretend to be happy, step to his side, and whisper a number. In the end, it is still a few false reports, after all, it is known that their lives are in the pervasive listening at any time, and they will not be happy.

Xuanshuang didn't make a clear signal, mumbled, tapped his toes on the ground, his eyes fixed on the wine glass in front of him, and flipped back and forth a few times. Lu Qian was nervous, his eyes unconsciously moved with him, and like a child, he deeply absorbed the patterns on the cup into his heart, and slowly traced along the lines. As soon as he realized some fun, Xuan Shuang suddenly threw down the wine glass, stomped on the ground with his heels, raised his voice and shouted: "The few big brothers who are watching the scenery outside have come down for me!"

For a moment, the room was surprisingly quiet, but no one showed up. Xuan Shuang sneered: "Ah, it seems that my words are useless now. Lord Lu, you also make a statement, to manage your group of subordinates, and reward and punish the merits and demerits accordingly, what's the fun of being an unsung hero?"

Lu Qian was full of helplessness, Xuan Shuang seemed to be affectionate, but in fact, he hid a knife in his smile and disobeyed him, but it was really no good. He said loudly: "Didn't you hear? Your hidden skills are not enough to get home, and others will see it, so what else is there to say? The general trend is gone, everyone come down, and listen to Ling Beile's disposal." ”

The words landed, and almost at the same time, several black shadows fell from all over the eaves. Wear a uniform costume, the outer coat is similar to the eaves, and the inner shirt is a night dress. Everyone squeezed in front of the door, knelt down together, and said, "See Ling Beile!" The sound was like a bell, invisibly creating a bit of momentum.

Xuan Shuang smiled: "It's really not good outside, the sun is scorching during the day, and the sky is freezing at night." I was guarding the charcoal pot in the house to bake the fire, eating and drinking, but the eldest brothers were suffering on the roof, and I was really a little sorry not to go. Everyone also endured their temperament and was able to survive all the time. Even if you talk to me and come in and sit down, it's okay. There are still some leftover snacks here, so you are welcome to come and enjoy them. ”

Everyone looked at the dim sum, shook their heads vigorously, and retreated in panic, as if it had been poisoned. Xuan Shuang sighed: "It's rare that I have the heart to treat guests, but you refuse to sell my face." It's a pity, it's a pity! But Lord Lu, this account is a bit unclear, you just reported to me eighteen people, but I go down one by one, how can it be twenty-three? Or my arithmetic is not good?"

Lu Qian didn't expect that none of these people would be delayed, and Qi Shushu showed up to receive the order, but fortunately, his brain turned quickly, and he immediately responded: "That's the case, there are indeed eighteen officially ordered people." But because the matter was not top secret, the guards next to him heard it, and they refused to lag behind. The five extra people came on their own without telling me. ”

Xuan Shuang said: "I see, that's really loyal, sincere and commendable." The people of Yinxue Palace also listened well, if they can do things in the future, if they can be as conscious as Lord Lu's subordinates, what else can't be done, and who is worthy of being our opponent?" Lord Lu, please turn around first, and don't turn back without my permission. ”

Lu Qian didn't know what he was doing, so he reluctantly turned around. showed people with their backs, knowing that the other party was just a child, and a group of his subordinates, he was still flustered. This is a taboo in warfare, and he has carefully followed it for many years, but it has changed suddenly, but it is more difficult to adapt than ordinary people. Keep your ears up and watch for what is happening behind you. The five fingers of the hands are interlocked, and the momentum is secretly prepared.

Xuan Shuang said: "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, but I am not blindly manipulated by others. Before I can do that, I have to confirm the identities of those five people. Come on, get pen and paper. ”

After a while, a subordinate came with a large stack of white paper and distributed it to everyone one by one. Xuan Shuang said: "Each person dips their index finger on the inkstone on the desktop, and I'll start later, if you are the extra five, just put a tick in the center of the paper, if not, keep a blank piece of paper." Everyone seeks truth from facts, what is yours is yours, and it doesn't matter what others do. I have my own way of distinguishing the truth from the fake. ”

However, this group of people was also dispatched by Lu Qian, so how could they be divided into regular soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers? If five people could take this false name and get a reward for no reason, it would be difficult for the rest of the people to be reconciled. Therefore, there must be a scramble for the drawing hook, far more than five, and once the number is difficult to equalize, it will be sent to Xuanshuang. Lu Qian couldn't turn his head, just listening to him announce the rules, he had already guessed the hidden tricks. Of course, this can't deceive yourself, but for that group of subordinates who don't have brains, you don't dare to pack tickets.

Listening to the crowding behind them, everyone had lined up at the table to dip in ink, and it took a long time to return to their original positions. Xuanshuang gave the order "start", and there was no sound behind him. This sounds to Lu Qian, and it is even more ominous to show that he is ominous, but he can't turn his body, he can't speak, everything can only be done in a hurry.

In the torment, it seemed that hundreds of years had passed, and I heard Xuan Shuang say: "Okay, who are the hooks now, before the answer is revealed, no one knows, including me." Please fold up the paper and put it in your pocket. "The guards, whether they are Lu Qian's subordinates or the spectators of Yinxue Palace, are all like playing games, giggling and laughing. There was a sound of rustling, and Xuan Shuang said, "Okay, Lord Lu, you can turn your head." ”

Lu Qian really couldn't wait, and as soon as he got the favor, he immediately turned his head away. Knowing that Xuanshuang wouldn't show him the slightest clue, he still couldn't help but look around, and it was good to be able to find a little hidden clue. However, as expected, his eyes were almost cramping, and he still found nothing.

Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you won't send some people you don't know well to protect me, right? Otherwise, you will be too irresponsible for my safety." In order to prevent someone from taking credit, I had to take precautions. Now, please identify which of the five are the surplus?"

Lu Qian's heart was shocked, he thought that he had had enough fun playing with that group of guards, but he was far from satisfying the eyes of this little ghost. Now not only is he implicated, but in such an embarrassing way, he really wants to cry without tears. swept over everyone's faces one by one, but Xuanshuang also followed him, facing the crowd, so that even if they intended to hint, they could not initiate it. Even after watching it several times, I can't make up my mind.

Xuan Shuang urged from time to time: "Lord Lu, are you okay?" Lu Qian gathered a crowd at that time to order, and he only listened to people's reports every day, and he was afraid that even he couldn't tell how much he went. Even the eighteen people just now were nonsense from him.

At this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so I had to grit my teeth fiercely, and selected five people who seemed to be a little stranger, but were born with righteous faces, and they looked like some materials who knew how to be loyal to the Lord. In order to prevent embarrassment later, he preemptively found himself a step down and said, "I don't remember very well, but ...... It seems to be these five. ”

Xuan Shuang said: "Very good, please take a step forward and come to the center of this room." The five men did as they were said and lined up in a row. Xuan Shuang said: "I naturally trust Lord Lu, but there are exceptions to everything, and I have to confirm it again." Please take out the white paper from your pocket and spread it out on your chest. ”

Lu Qian's heart "banged" with a loud beat, and the two sides intersected, and they were bound to lose, and it would add countless embarrassments. I watched the five people take out the papers, and four of them were white. However, the dying man also had to struggle, and without waiting for Xuan Shuang to speak, he slapped it on the forehead first, and said, "Hey, I've been so busy with Xue'er's affairs lately, my head is not good, and I can't even remember people." ”

Xuanshuang said: "But it's also pitiful." Well, little benevolent, you give me a death. When did you go to Master Lu? Why don't you tell me about it? After so many years, I have treated you well and will not blame you, or do you treat me as an outsider?"

The guard with a single hook drawn in front of the paper stepped forward, and sure enough, it was a eunuch, and said in a shrill voice: "Slave little good son, please say hello to Ling Beile." The minions were ordered to protect Ling Beile, so they mixed up with those big brothers. So, is the minion the extra one?"

Lu Qian was almost desperate for a while, so he almost didn't hold his head and squatted down to confess. From beginning to end, Xuanshuang was always a hippie smile, as if looking at a group of monkeys acting on his orders with satisfaction. He said, "Lord Lu, it seems that I won this game again." If you want to fight me, you're still too tender. ”

Lu Qian taught a little child a face-to-face lesson, and he was really disgraced, and said, "Yes, yes, I can't stand you this time." But I'm also worried about Xue'er......" Xuan Shuang said: "Hmph, so selfless, worried about other people's wives, it's great?" Lu Qian's face suddenly swelled purple like a pig's liver, if there was a crack in the ground at this time, the first one to get into it must be him.

Seeing that he was really embarrassed, Xuan Shuang had already learned a lesson, waved his hand casually, and sighed: "Forget it, who let the two of us get along? What are brothers? They are friends who can go to the soup for each other at the critical moment, instead of calculating with each other." For the sake of your sincerity, when you go to see my master, you can go with me. It's just that one thing has to be made clear in advance: he has always been moody, and even I, as a disciple, can't figure out his temper. If something goes wrong, you can't blame me. ”

Lu Qian was overjoyed, as if he had come back to life after suffering in purgatory, he didn't even dare to say it, and at the same time he was very grateful.

This time, Xuanshuang finally stopped messing with him, unfolded a few pieces of letterhead, studied it, and determined the approximate whereabouts. He seems to be greedy for pleasure these days, but in fact he has not been idle to work.

Li Yijietuo's several letters to Lu Qian were stuffed to him early in the morning, and there were some special tricks and feet in the letters. In the eyes of those who don't know, they will follow the usual way to solve the problem, and finally come to a few wrong inferences, go around in circles, and go back to the starting point. Only Xuan Shuang knew how to recognize, and finally deciphered the mystery of the map in the room, so he secretly made preparations for departure. Because the official trip was completed, neither of them brought anything with them.

Traveling all the way, Lu Qian didn't even dare to complain too much, lest he be angry and change his mind. In the end, he arrived at an abandoned "fortress", which was one of the big families that Xuanshuang had destroyed with Jiang Yanchen. Standing in front of the threshold, he took out a small barrel of cannon fire from his bosom, lit it, and threw it into the sky to give a signal. After a while, another string of fireworks was released in the village.

Xuan Shuang said in a low voice: "I'll go in alone, you wait outside first, you must be patient." Lu Qian was unwilling, but he thought that the situation was unclear, and he couldn't help him if he rashly followed, so he was all for Nangong Xue and gave up.

Xuanshuang walked in the dilapidated garden with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The area of Fujia Villa is vast, and you can still see all kinds of flowers planted in the past. People are like this, what can the grass and trees be?
