Chapter 402: An Olive Branch (1)

The ghost didn't see it with his own eyes, but he saw that Lu Xiaoyuan had been deliberately hiding his strength, so he had this suspicion, and said in a deep voice: "Can you see who did it?"

Lu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." The person who can hurt Mr. Ghost must be extremely fast, and the kid is slight, how can he see clearly?"

The ghost closed his eyes and recalled the situation just now, he didn't notice any master behind him at the time, opened his eyes, and said lightly: "You are not a micro Taoist. "Walk to the school grounds.

Lu Xiaoyuan's heart sank: "The Nine Ghost Guest has been famous for a long time, and his vision is really spicy, maybe he has already seen my true strength." ”

It was Lu Xiaoyuan who was worried about the sneak attack just now. The two of them are similar in cultivation, and it is indeed difficult to cause considerable damage to the ghosts in the state of ghost retreat, but the blue fire palm he used secretly combines the Xuanmen Dao method, and the golden cicada true qi belongs to Buddhism Zen Buddhism, both of which have a restraint effect on the soul dementorship.

As soon as he walked into the school grounds, he heard the voice of Jinju Hou being furious. The field was in a mess, weapons and corpses were everywhere, and the originally grand opening and unprecedented martial arts competition ushered in this kind of ending, and the Marquis of Jinzhou couldn't help but be angry.

Of the three hundred warriors in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, less than fifty remained, and the rest either fled, were captured, or killed. The holders of the two Jade Martial Holy Grails did not leave because of the temptation of promotion, but the three Holy Grails were reduced to pieces in the chaos.

Wei Wensheng said to the ghost: "Mr. ghost, what about people?"

Although the ghost did not complete the task, his tone was still as cold as usual: "I didn't catch him, I escaped for him." "I don't hear the slightest guilt.

Wei Wensheng said: "What is the origin of that young man?"

The ghost said worriedly: "They have used the magic circle of the wizards of Southern Xinjiang, but Jinzhou is thousands of miles away from Southern Xinjiang, and the forces of Southern Xinjiang will not oppose us." I heard that a group of southern Xinjiang wizards threw themselves under the command of Ji Changyong, the king of Ganzhou, and I thought it was this group. ”

Wei Wensheng said to the Marquis of Jinzhou: "Master Hou, according to the six generals, someone showed them the order of the Hou Ye, claiming that there was a rebellion here, so they would rush here." The mastermind of this matter must be at the top and very familiar with the process of army scheduling, otherwise the six generals would have seen the flaws. ”

The Marquis of Jinzhou said: "Jinzhou is located in the center of the empire, and now it is targeted by the two thief armies of Yan and Gan at the same time, so it is impossible to worry. He slapped the table violently and said hatefully: "Ji Changyong, you also came to embarrass Benhou." ”

Wei Wensheng glanced at the remaining martial artists, stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, those people still need to be appeased." ”

The Marquis of Jinzhou was still angry, and said in a deep voice: "Appease, it would be good if Benhou didn't kill them, and drive them all out of Jinju." ”

Wei Wensheng said: "Master Hou can't. To do so is to stop the idea of martial arts masters coming to defect. Hou Ye can be superficially decorated and shown to the world's capable people, and secretly take more precautions against these people. ”

The Marquis of Jinzhou got up, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "I'll leave it to you." "Go to the backyard.

Wei Wensheng shook his head helplessly, and announced to all the warriors: "All the heroes left behind in the Zhaoxian Pavilion will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver each, and they will be requisitioned. The three friends who have been promoted, according to the preface, have been promoted to the rank of General Jianwu, please follow the messenger to the General's Mansion. ”

The other two had luggage in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, so they went to carry their luggage first, Lu Xiaoyuan followed the envoy to Xicheng Changjie, and saw three mansions standing side by side, the scale was not large, smaller than the mansions of some rich and magnate, but the sunshine mountains and rivers on the gate and the gilded heavenly horses on the eaves were symbols of the power of the Wuwei Empire, and they were not folk cloths that could be decorated at will.

Lu Xiaoyuan chose the rightmost one, the messenger took him in, introduced his identity to the housekeeper, completed the handover procedures, and left.

The housekeeper's surname was Cai, and he gathered all his subordinates in front of the main hall to meet the owner of the mansion. The scale of the mansion is not large, and the latest construction has only six housekeepers and four maids, and there is no cook, and the cooking is represented by the maids.

Lu Xiaoyuan was at ease with what he encountered, and he didn't care about the number of people in the mansion and whether it was fully equipped, so he ordered the people to go as usual, and let the housekeeper take him around the mansion, and after getting familiar with the terrain and structure of the mansion, he went into his room to rest.

He was physically and mentally exhausted from the hard work of these days, and for the next few days, he hid in the house to rest. As the day approached dusk, he was sleeping, and was awakened by a knock on the door, got up and opened the door, saw that it was Steward Cai, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Steward Cai looked at him strangely, and said in his heart: "This general is really doing things upside down, why did he fall asleep at this time?" ”

Lu Xiaoyuan yawned and said lazily, "What did she do when she saw me?"

Steward Cai said: "The villain is just a servant, how dare you ask?

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "You just said that I slept so hard that I couldn't get up no matter how I called, or that I went out." First, he was afraid that Mrs. Lu Yao would find out his identity, and second, because Mrs. Lu Yao had deceived him, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw her.

Steward Cai hesitated slightly, and carefully persuaded: "General, according to the villain's humble opinion, it is safer for you to see her at first sight." This Mrs. Lu Yao is the younger sister of the head of the Li family, and she has traveled extensively, if she can say a few good words for you in front of the Marquis of Jinju, it will be better than ten great achievements on the battlefield. searched all over the four prefectures of Shanxi, Hubei, Gansu, and Hebei, and there were few who could let her take the initiative to place an invitation. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "Okay, then you see her for me, you know the current affairs so well and can speak, maybe please her, let her say a few good words for you in front of the Marquis of Jinzhou." ”

Steward Cai hurriedly bowed down and said with sincere fear: "What is the villain, how can he go to see Mrs. Lu Yao on behalf of the general, it was really a lie just now, and the general atonements." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan stretched out his hand to help him and said, "You don't have to be like this. I'm just kidding. Then the two of them went to the main hall.

The maid in the house was serving tea to a girl in a green shirt, and when the girl saw Lu Xiaoyuan coming out, she didn't salute, but just took out an invitation and said, "General Yuan, this is Madame's invitation." Then come with me. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan stretched out his hand to take it and said, "I haven't read the invitation yet." ”

The girl smiled, as if mocking, and said, "Madame, please, what's there to hesitate about? Let's go, Madame, if you're in a hurry, you can look good." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan threw up the invitation, stretched out his hand to catch it, and said, "What can she do if she is in a hurry?"

The girl's face changed drastically, and she shouted, "Bastard, are you too long?"
