Chapter Twenty-Six: How Many Things Have Risen and Fallen in Ancient and Modern Times
The night rain in late spring is not as soft and dense as the spring rain, but gradually turns into a fierce summer rain, and the water on the bluestone street has overflowed the feet half an hour after the rain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If someone looks down on the Divine Capital from above at this time, they will find that in countless streets and alleys, there are teams of dark guards rushing by, like a hundred rivers entering the sea, converging towards the center of the Divine Capital.
This place stretches for more than ten miles, it was the palace city in the early days, and then it was abandoned after the war, and now it is changed to the palace, the top magnates and the three divisions of the yamen, the Sun family mansion is located here, and the county palace is next to each other, which shows the heritage of the Sun family, and also shows the extraordinary place here. Therefore, the magnates of Shendu and even the entire Yuzhou are proud to buy a mansion here, which can be called every inch of land.
That is, the Dark Guard Mansion dares to make some articles here, and I think it is also, the Dark Guard Mansion even dares to move the Zhongdu Chonglong Temple, which is one of the four major views of the Daomen, and is still afraid of the powerful people in this god capital?
Half an hour later, seven or eight out of ten secret guards in the city gathered in front of the door of a gorgeous mansion and surrounded the mansion on all sides. The guards were all wearing hats and robes, and under them were the robes of the guards, with knives in their hands, standing solemnly.
Shadowguards continued to join them, but most of these guards were unsheathed, dripping blood from them and melting into the torrential rain beneath their feet.
In the depths of the night, two faint lights suddenly lit up, from far to near, getting bigger and bigger, and flickering, fluttering and shaking, like a ghost fire, so not seeping.
When these two points of light were close, people suddenly realized that these were actually two miserable white lanterns, suspended on their own, ignoring the heavy rain, emitting a faint faint fluorescence, swaying, looking bleak and weird, and behind them was a dark sedan chair floating around.
The sedan chair was carried by four secret guards, and after landing, with a crisp and pleasant sound, the sedan curtain made of more than a thousand jade beads was lifted, revealing the true face of the person in the sedan chair.
It is a thin old man with white hair, dressed in a gorgeous flying fish uniform, wearing a jade black veil on his head, stepping on black and white-soled official boots, and is really dressed as a high-ranking official of the Secret Guard Mansion, but his honor is not flattering, with a goatee, triangular eyes, especially the eyes are cloudy, and there is a faint green in the dark yellow, like a demon, which makes people shudder.
This person is not a nameless person, the surname is Yang Mingshi He, but one of the eight governors of the Dark Guard Mansion, and Lu Shen of the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion is at the same level, but unlike Lu Shen, he is more focused on his own cultivation, and now he is at the peak of the human immortal realm, and he is only one step away from the legendary earth immortal realm.
Yang Shi He sat in the sedan chair and said in a deep voice: "It has been found out that the Shendu Du clan secretly hid the remnants of the Lu clan in the previous dynasty, and plotted against it.
The old man's voice was not loud, but it clearly spread all over a radius of more than ten miles, and even overwhelmed the sound of rain in the sky.
Xiao Quji, who had heard the movement a long time ago, was standing on his own watchtower at this time, looking out from here, and after hearing this, he asked the old servant behind him: "Old Wang, I remember that Lu Qian's son Lu Tai didn't die at the hands of my uncle King Wei along with Zhang Chuanting?
The old servant bowed down and replied: "Your Highness, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, Lu Qian's eldest son Lu Tai is already dead, but Lu Qian's concubine also gave birth to a young son for him, named Lu Pu, who is said to have died in a fire on Jun Island." However, there are also rumors that when Lu Qian confronted the first emperor across the river, he once asked the great real man Qingchen to divinate himself by the river, but he saw his headless reflection in the river, so he sent his young son away by stealing the beams and changing the pillars, and the consequences were untrue. ”
Xiao Qujian became interested, and said hesitantly, "In this way, this Lu Pu has been hiding in the Shendu for so many years, and if you calculate carefully, he should be the age of the sixtieth year this year, more than twice the size of this king, this king has never known that there is such a number one person under his nose since he was a child, I really don't know how the ghosts of the Dark Guard Mansion found out." ”
The old servant said with a smile: "The Dark Guard Mansion was personally established by Emperor Jing, after two dynasties, the foundation is planted all over the world, and the ability to find people and track can be said to be the first in the world, even the eight people of the Daomen and the Demon Suppression Hall and the Buddha Gate are not comparable, just say that the young master of the Sword Sect, if it is replaced by the Dark Guard Mansion to find, I am afraid that at this time it has already fallen into the net." ”
At this moment, there was a huge sound from the Du Mansion, Lao Wang and Xiao Qujian looked together, it turned out that Yang Shi He had already shot, only to see that after he got out of the sedan chair, the palms of his hands gave birth to a dark green ghost fire, and then the palms of his palms were closed, turning into a spherical flame as large as a half-human, and then pushed forward, the ball fire flew out like a boulder thrown by a stone thrower, and fell on the gate of the Huamei Mansion and exploded, directly leveling the entire high gate building and the surrounding courtyard wall.
Yang Shihe's voice came from afar again, but this time there was no useless nonsense, only a simple killing word.
Countless secret guards flocked into the Du family's mansion.
He stood in the rain curtain with his hands in his hands, and his white beard trembled slightly.
――
In the inn, the old Confucian put down the wine bowl in his hand and said: "The old man's surname is Du, his name is Pingyuan, he is the Du family in this Shendu City. ”
Having said that, there was no panic and sadness on the old man's face, and it was as plain as water.
Xu Beiyou was a little unsure of what the old man meant, so he waited for the following.
Du Pingyuan then said slowly: "Du Mingyu, the old head of the Du family, was originally the favorite general of Lu Qian, the former governor of Jiangdu. At the beginning, the first emperor Xiao Yu's soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by Xiao Yu himself, and he crossed the river from the front to attack, and the first was led by the current governor Wei Ban, passing through Shuzhou, and then entering the lake from Shu. Du Mingyu was ordered to guard Huzhou Liangxiang in danger, and the soldiers blocked the capital governor Wei Ban, but unfortunately the building will fall, unable to return to the sky, this side blocked Wei Ban, but there Emperor Xiao has crossed the river, Lu Qian was defeated and died, Du Mingyu had no choice but to open the city and surrender, after Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, he was disarmed and returned to the field, so there is today's god capital Du family. ”
Du Pingyuan let out a long sigh, "After Lu Qian's death, Emperor Xiao ordered the Secret Guard Mansion to search for the remnants of the Lu family, and the Lu family, which originally had more than 100 descendants, died one after another in the pursuit of these decades, and now there is only one person left. The reason why that person was able to escape the eyes and ears of the Secret Guard Mansion was not because of his magical powers, but because Du Mingyu made a trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, and exchanged his son for the young son of the Metropolitan Governor Lu Qian, and forged the illusion that Lu Qian's young son had been buried in the sea of fire, which left a glimmer of blood for the Lu family. ”
Xu Beiyou muttered: "What a big drama of Lu's orphans." ”
Du Pingyuan lowered his head and smiled: "This Lu orphan, if he can avenge his father and the entire family one day, it will be a big drama, but unfortunately the Xiao family now sits in the world, and it is difficult to take revenge than to ascend to the sky, most of the Lu orphans will die nameless, it is not a big play, but a joke." ”
Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "Since you can't take revenge, why don't you continue to be incognito, so that you can continue the next line of incense for the Lu family." ”
Du Pingyuan said softly: "The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, how can these jackals of the Secret Guard Mansion get along well? Those secret guards just now went to the Du family, and this Du family, who is also considered to have a head and a face in the divine capital, is dead." ”
Xu Beiyou was silent.
Du Pingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Little brother, if the old man is not mistaken, you should be a member of the Sword Sect? ”
Xu Beiyou's face suddenly froze, and his body was full of sword intent.
The old Confucian waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, the reason why the old man can recognize you is only because he had a relationship with the sect master of the Sword Sect in his early years, Gongsun Zhongmou, and you never deliberately concealed it in front of the old man, so the old man saw through his identity, but the old man also sent you a word today, the king is not secret, but he is just a minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life." ”
Xu Beiyou nodded heavily, and then said slowly: "I want to come to the old man's house to be the orphan of the Lu family?"
