Lu Sanchuan paid extra attention. After Yuan Qiming left the house, half an hour later, he also walked out of the house. There was no one in the atrium outside the door, and it was quiet all around, and I didn't know where the doorman and servant had gone.

He suddenly felt palpitations, and unknown fear came over him, making him shudder.

"See the young master. ”

The sudden cry startled him.

He followed the prestige and saw a good-looking man, his hair tied up in a bun, and two other strands hanging down on the sides of his cheeks, and at this time, he was holding a sword and clenching his fist, and bowed respectfully.

Lu Sanchuan saw that there were still people there, so he put his mind at ease, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted him back, "Brother Tai doesn't need to be polite." ”

The man smiled and walked away. Lu Sanchuan hurriedly drank him, "Brother Tai stay!" He turned around and said again: "What does the young master command?" ”

Lu Sanchuan didn't have any thoughts, but he didn't want him to leave, his thoughts turned over, remembering Lu Ting and Sun Xia, remembering a small wooden token on the waist of the two, he glanced at the person's waist, and didn't see any pendant accessories, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: Could it be that Uncle Yuan didn't lie, and the two were pretended to be outsiders?

Seeing Lu Sanchuan contemplating and pondering, the man didn't bother, just quietly waited for Lu Sanchuan to speak, waited for a long time, and saw that Lu Sanchuan was still in a trance, so he couldn't help but remind: "What does the young master command?"

"Oh?" Lu Sanchuan came back to his senses, he wanted to ask where Yuan Qiming was, but after thinking about it, he now suspected Yuan Qiming, if he looked for it again, it would be inappropriate, so he asked instead: "May I ask where is Brother Luan Wei?"

The man said: "There is still an hour before lunch time, and Senior Luan should be reading in the study. ”

Lu Sanchuan hugged his fists and thanked the man, hurriedly walked to the study, turned a few corners, and saw Luan Wei sitting on the stone steps outside the study, holding a book in his left hand and a pot of wine in his right hand. Take a sip of wine and turn a page of the book.

Lu Sanchuan smiled and called "Brother Luan", Luan Wei turned his head when he heard the shout, and when he saw that it was Lu Sanchuan, he hurriedly hid the wine jug behind his back, closed the book and stood up, saluted him, and argued: "Young master, I just read a book, and I didn't drink." And on the ground between his legs was a flask.

Lu Sanchuan felt a lot more relaxed, walked to sit down beside him, held the wine jug and poured a small sip of wine into his mouth, and the wine was still spicy and numb in his throat. His facial features were twisted together, he hissed painfully, lifted the wine jug and put it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully, and asked, "Brother Luan, is this wine really so delicious?"

Luan Wei was no longer nervous, sat down again, took the wine jug from his hand, poured a full mouthful into his mouth, swallowed it with a "grunt", but the moaning sound was particularly satisfying. "Ah~ You're not obsessed with wine, and wine is not obsessed with you, so you drink like chili water. When you know the goodness of wine, you are obsessed with wine, and then you drink it, and you will be like a jade liquid, like a drunk. ”

After hearing this, Lu Sanchuan nodded thoughtfully, but asked, "Why are you so afraid of me?"

Luan Wei smiled embarrassedly, "The master knows that I love wine as much as my life, and allows me to drink alcohol on weekdays, but when I am studying, he wants me to concentrate on reading and not touch alcohol." When the master of the door was resting at home, I had to hide a small bag of wine on my body and sit in the study and read a book, until I couldn't bear it anymore, and I didn't dare to take a sip of it. After all, the study is airtight, and if I drink heavily, the study must be full of alcohol, and the doorman will know that I am drinking while studying. Today, when the master of the door goes out, I dare to be so bold, and enjoy the book with wine. ”

Lu Sanchuan didn't notice anything wrong and asked, "Where did Uncle Yuan go?"

Luan Wei said: "Someone came to report that there was something wrong with Qianxingmen, and the owner of the door rushed to deal with it." ”

"Qianxingmen?" Lu Sanchuan frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong with the situation, "Isn't this mansion Qianxingmen?"

Luan Wei said with a smile: "Where is this Qianxing Gate." This is the owner's home. In Wanhua Lane in the west of Wuchang City, there is a larger mansion than this, which is the main site of Qianxingmen. ”

Lu Sanchuan was quite puzzled and asked, "Since Qianxingmen is in Wanhua Lane, why is Uncle Yuan often in this house?"

Luan Wei said: "Qianxingmen has Luan who is not taken care of, and the owner of the door is naturally relieved, so he won't go much." If there are some important things to do, Luan Buwei will come to inform them in time. ”

Lu Sanchuan laughed and said, "Luan Buwei, but Brother Ling?"

Luan Wei also said with a smile: "No, it's my brother." Compared with me, Luan Buwei seems more calm and reliable, and can get everything done, after all, Qianxingmen mainly takes on some work on the rivers and lakes, and has to deal with all kinds of people. For example, escorting a dart that no one dares to take, or an enemy who has scruples. Occasionally, I also take on the work of the rich and powerful, such as someone who owes money and does not pay it back, or has a thorn in the eye that is difficult to remove. ”

Lu Sanchuan couldn't believe it: "The enemy who has scruples, the thorn in the eye that is difficult to remove, and the Qianxingmen actually collects money to kill people?"

Luan Wei had long been accustomed to it, and replied with a slight smile: "If not, Qianxingmen is already considered to be above board, Gongchang Chaotian helps to live on casinos, and hundreds of gamblers die in casinos every year; Huaiqing Nine Dragons Sect deceives the people with evil arts, and if anyone sees through them, it will invite murder; and there are even nameless inns in corners and corners, mutilating innocent lives to sell as human meat buns. The sinister and vicious rivers and lakes are far beyond your imagination. ”

Lu Sanchuan's breathing became heavier, and it became more and more difficult to accept, "But..."

Luan Wei smiled and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Even so, Qianxingmen will not do those cruel and outrageous things, as long as the task is completed, the sword will be put back into the sheath." ”

But he is still begging for a life on the tip of a knife and in blood. Lu Sanchuan wanted to say this, but finally endured it, but he just held his head in his hands, his heart hurt badly, and in order to divert his attention, he asked casually: "Then the people in this mansion are also from Qianxingmen?"

Luan Wei said: "No. In this house, it is privately stored by the owner of the door, and it has nothing to do with the Qianxing Gate. The people under the door of the Thousand Lines Gate must have a token on their waists. ”

Lu Sanchuan raised his head abruptly and looked at Luan Wei with wide eyes. Luan Wei didn't know what he was thinking, but when he was interested, he took off a token from his waist and handed it to Lu Sanchuan.

Lu Sanchuan was already nervous, staring at Luan Wei to take off the token, stretched out his hands to take it, and only after taking a closer look did he realize that he was too nervous. Luan Wei took off the token the size of his palm, red, hexagonal, with two circles of notches along the six sides, and a black cursive character "line" engraved in the center.

The tokens hanging on the waists of Sun Xia and Lu Ting, although they can't see what words are engraved in the middle, are yellow in color and only four on the sides, which obviously have different appearances.

He breathed a sigh of relief and handed the token back to Luan Wei, who said, "If the status is different, the token will be different." The first person who enters the door of a thousand lines is called 'Jue', the token of Jue is a yellow square, there is no nick along the edge, only a 'line' word in the middle, after seven years, it can be promoted to 'Yue', the token is an orange pentagon, a circle of nicks along the edge. Those who are strong in martial arts and have great achievements will be promoted to 'Joan', and the token will be like me. There are only two Qiong in the Qianxing Gate, one is me, and the other is Luan Buwei. ”

Lu Sanchuan's head buzzed, his eyes opened wider than before, and he exclaimed, "You say, what is the token of Jue?"

Luan Wei didn't know why he was like this, he was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yellow square, there are no nicks along the edges, only a 'line' character in the middle." ”

Lu Sanchuan finally understood: Sun Xia Lu Ting was really a disciple of Qianxingmen, and he went to Jiangzhou on the order of Yuan Qiming. As for why Yuan Qiming didn't do it himself, it was obvious. Yuan Qiming's prestige is far and wide, and if it is known that he killed the son of his benefactor, he will definitely be scolded by everyone.

In this way, Yuan's house is like a tiger's den!

Lu Sanchuan hurriedly stood up and hurried to the bedroom, but Ren Luan ignored how to shout behind him. There were two scholars and swordsmen who had just finished practicing swords, talking and laughing and walking to the study, seeing Lu Sanchuan coming, the two stopped and clasped their fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have seen the young master." ”

Lu Sanchuan let out a "hmm" and hurried over. The scholar swordsman started talking again, his voice was like nothing, and what he was talking about seemed to have something to do with Yuan Qiming.

Lu Sanchuan's heart moved, he stopped and used his internal strength to listen, and only heard one of them say, "Bai Zhongxu came to provoke this time, he must be well prepared, and the door master is only afraid of more than auspicious", and the other said, "If the door master can learn to play the dragon sword, let alone Bai Zhongxu, even He An, Zhang Ge and others are not opponents."

Lu Sanchuan panicked even more, ran back to the house quickly, and locked the door firmly. But what? It was still in Yuan Qiming's palm.

When danger suddenly comes, it is certainly alarming, but what is even more frustrating is that knowing that he is in the tiger's den, he can do nothing but wait for the hungry tiger to return to the nest, watching the hungry tiger open its bloody mouth and show its fangs, shivering.

No, you can't sit still!

Lu Sanchuan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a dagger. The daggard was pitch black, carved with a dragon's tail, but the dragon's scales were inlaid with gold grains. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and pulled it out three inches, the blade of which was very shiny, and it was clearly a fine dagger.

He hid the dagger on his body.

Suddenly there was an exclamation outside the door.

"Door Master!"

Lu Sanchuan knew that Yuan Qiming was back, so he walked to the back of the door, opened the door and looked out, and saw Yuan Qiming. It's just that Yuan Qiming was supported by one person, and his chest was red.

The doormen of Yuan's house suddenly panicked, and they rushed forward to ask this and that.

"Who injured the door master like this!"

"Door master, we will avenge you!"

The man holding Yuan Qiming raised his left hand holding the sword and flicked it outward, and said hurriedly: "Get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way!"

Everyone hurriedly vacated a way for Yuan Qiming and the others to pass.

Seeing this, Lu Sanchuan was also very suspicious, and thought to himself: Who is so high in martial arts that he can seriously injure Uncle Yuan? When he looked at it again, he collided with Yuan Qiming's gaze. He hurriedly closed the door, leaning his back against the wooden door in horror.

And there was a lot of whispering in the courtyard.

"Who could have injured the master like this?"

"It was Bai Zhongxu who did it!"
