The eastern suburbs of Beijing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Taibao Lu Gongyi Mansion.

In the study, Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu were sitting facing each other. On the side, the old housekeeper of the Lu Mansion had just reported the news from Zhu Jian to Lu Gongyi and Zeng Puyu.

Zeng Pu scolded angrily: "This traitor is vicious!"

After scolding, Zeng Pu then scolded: "This traitor even drove demons like Wanshi Old Devil, Poison Boy and Red Flower Lady for his own use, and even got out the medicine man. What else can't he do?!"

Lu Gongyi smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, don't worry. According to Jian'er, the poisonous boy and the safflower lady have been beheaded. The descendants of the medicine queen have arrived in Qingyun Village and rescued Liu Yunfeng, and finally temporarily saved the lives of Liu Yunfeng and others. ”

Zeng Pu scolded twice, heard Lu Gongyi say this, and asked: "Senior brother, when the descendants of the medicine queen arrived in Qingyun Village, is it as Shizun once said, in order to repay their kindness? If it is really to repay their kindness, presumably, they will continue to stay with Jian'er and them." That's good news. ”

Lu Gongyi nodded and said, "Shizun once said that the Qingyun Order was originally made by the Sun family for Qingyun Village. The family of the medicine king has always been reluctant to show favor to others. Since the Sun family has spent a lot of effort to make such a wonderful communication thing for Qingyun Village, it must be the same as the master expected, Qingyun Village once had a favor to the Sun family. The Sun family went out of the mountain this time to help Liu Yunfeng and others solve their misfortunes, which must be to repay their kindness. ”

Zeng Pu also felt that it made sense when he heard Lu Gongyi say this, rubbed his big hands, and said: "That's good, that's good! Listening to the description in Jian'er's letter, the person in charge of the Sun family's visit this time should be the younger brother of Sun Dingxuan, the head of the Sun family, Uncle Sun Dinghong. and Shizun are characters of the same generation. This Uncle Sun, who was famous in medical skills in his early years, was not small. In the past few decades, I haven't heard from him. It's just that I've never heard of this Uncle Sun having fought with people. Senior brother, do you think that this Uncle Sun has any cultivation? If he is just a medical skill, if he encounters something that is not eye-opening along the way, this senior uncle is afraid that he will be in some trouble. ”

Lu Gongyi didn't answer positively, but said: "This trouble, when Jian'er and them are back on the road in three days, they want to fight Liu Yunfeng and others The people from all walks of life must have already found out the origin of the people of the Sun family." The Sun family's signboard is placed there. There shouldn't be many people who dare to risk the world's disapproval and embarrass the Sun family. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Gongyi smiled mysteriously, and then said: "If there are really people who dare to go to this Uncle Sun for trouble, maybe, this Uncle Sun will give those people a big surprise." ”

When Zeng Pu heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, could it be that this Uncle Sun still has an amazing cultivation?" As he spoke, he rubbed his hands again and said, "I really haven't seen the Medicine King's mastery. If only I could see and see ......"

Lu Gongyi pretended to make a face and said, "Senior brother, you are dozens of years old, why are you still a naughty child?"

Seeing Zeng Pu smiling wryly, Lu Gongyi said: "However, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will deliberately make trouble for the Sun family." We still have to be careful about this. ”

Speaking of business, Zeng Pu also became serious and asked, "Senior brother, according to your estimate, who will be able to make a move against Uncle Sun and others?"

Lu Gongyi replied: "I'm not sure about this. In the rivers and lakes, there are many strange people. Instead of guessing, take precautions. It seems that we need to say hello to some old friends and let them help take care of one or two. The King of Medicine lineage, for hundreds of years, has made great contributions to the world. Mrs. Lu has a great relationship with Shizun. We can't sit idly by knowing that Uncle Sun and his party are in danger. ”

Zeng Pu nodded in agreement, already thinking in his heart about which old friends to contact.

After talking about the Sun family, Lu Gongyi continued: "This Meng has no chance, and I don't know what he got that made Qin Mu so aggressive. According to Jian'er, things should not be in the hands of Liu Yunfeng and others. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Pu interjected and said, "Senior brother, I estimate that after Jian'er and them hit the road, Liu Yunfeng and the others will definitely not give up looking for this thing." ”

Lu Gongyi snorted and said, "This is certain. The 12th Taibao and his party were ruthless and killed so many lives in Qingyunzhai. Liu Yunfeng will never give up if he doesn't get out of the water. ”

As soon as Zeng Pu heard the words of the Twelve Taibao, he came up angrily and scolded: "What kind of thing? Dare to call it Taibao? Tell me and smash their dog's mouth!"

Lu Gongyi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Senior brother, Yan'er was taken by you to spoil, so you took the opportunity to beat the kid surnamed Wu twice." ”

Zeng Pu couldn't help laughing and said, "Good fight! That little traitor named Wu Jidong is a bad breed when he hears it." Betraying friends for glory, madness. mutilated his adoptive father and lost his conscience. Not only should it be fought, but it should also be killed!"

After speaking, Zeng Pu said again: "Senior brother, I'm wondering." Jian'er is my apprentice, but he is dull and dull all day long, but he looks like a senior brother's temperament. ”

When Lu Gongyi heard this, he was about to speak, when a laughing and scolding voice came from outside: "The old man also feels strange. You two old guys, how are you teaching the old man's grandson on weekdays?"

When Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu heard this laughter, they glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, stood up together, and walked to the door.

Before the two of them walked out of the door, an old man with a red face strode in. Between the old man's steps, there was a majesty.

Behind the old man, the head of the nursing home of the Lu Mansion followed closely. Seeing Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu, the head of the nursing home was full of shame.

Lu Gongyi understood the embarrassment of the sect leader, waved his hand, and said, "You go down." It's none of your business. Bao Guogong wants to climb over the wall to come in, where can you stop it? ”

It turned out that this red-faced old man was none other than Zhu Dingbang, the Duke of Baoguo.

Zhu Dingbang heard Lu Gongyi say this to the head of the nursing home, laughed and scolded again, and said to Lu Gongyi: "You old guy, are you scolding the old man?" Fuck off!"

The head of the nursing home saluted a few people and quickly slipped away. In his heart, he secretly slandered: "Where is there such a prince? I am so familiar with the master, I came at night, did not leave the gate, and deliberately climbed over the wall." ”

drove away the head of the nursing home, Lu Gongyi, Zeng Pushi and Bao Guogong officially met with each other, and Lu Gongyi said: "Brother Zhu, you went out of the city at night and came to me." Aren't you afraid of those imperial histories gossiping and saying that we are in tandem in private?"

Zhu Dingbang knew that this was a joke, but he still scolded and said: "Talking nonsense! Those officials nowadays are all people who tend to be inflammatory. Where is the slightest bit of literati?"

Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu heard this heavy speech, and they stopped joking.

Zeng Pu asked, "Brother Zhu, have you also received news from Jian'er?"

Zhu Dingbang nodded and said, "Yes." Two brothers, I came overnight to hear what regulations you have. ”

Lu Gongyi nodded, and first discussed the suitability of his senior brother and brother, and briefly told Zhu Dingbang.

After hearing this, Zhu Dingbang frowned and asked, "So, the two brothers think that Liu Yunfeng will definitely go to find this thing?"

Lu Gongyi nodded and replied, "This is certain. ”

Zhu Dingbang said: "According to the analysis of the two elder brothers, since Qin Mu is so concerned about this thing, if Liu Yunfeng wants to find it smoothly, I'm afraid it will be impossible." ”

Lu Gongyi said worriedly: "This is not the problem we are most worried about. According to Jian'er's report, before Jian'er and the others arrived, the Twelve Taibao were obviously preparing to make a dead move. What we are worried about is that Qin Mu's fundamental purpose is not to retrieve something, but to make this thing not emerge from the world. ”

When Zhu Dingbang heard it, he also felt that it made sense. After thinking for a while, Zhu Dingbang said: "In this way, Jian'er and them, the way back to Beijing must not be peaceful." ”

Lu Gongyi nodded and said, "This is certain. In the battle of Qingyunzhai, in addition to the twelve Taibao and others, there were also Wanshi Old Devil, Poison Boy, Red Flower Lady and two other people appeared. After Jian'er and they hit the road, more forces will definitely be involved. Moreover, since these people already know that Liu Yunfeng and the others have helpers, they either don't come, and if they do, they must be not good. ”

When Zeng Pu heard this, he frowned and said, "According to what Jian'er said, Narong Wuregret is only afraid that he will go down the mountain to find Uncle Sun this time." Since Rong Wuregret escaped from the Sun family back then, if he finds Uncle Sun this time, he is afraid that there will be some twists and turns. ”

Zhu Dingbang and Lu Gongyi nodded at the same time in agreement.

Zeng Pu then asked: "Brother Zhu, what is the origin of that middle-aged man, Senior Brother and I don't know. Can you tell?"

Zhu Dingbang replied: "On the rivers and lakes, there are very few soul chasers. It is very likely that this person was a retainer of the Marquis of Mighty Warriors. One of my old subordinates was guarding the area in central Fujian. When he came to visit me, he once mentioned that among the retainers of the mighty marquis, there was a good hand at chasing soul claws. ”

Lu Gongyi thought for a moment and said, "Then you can't be wrong." This man must be a retainer of the mighty marquis. Liu Yunfeng once saw that the road was uneven and killed the second son of the mighty marquis. At that time, the mighty marquis sued the imperial court and wanted to ask the imperial court to send troops, and in the name of killing officials and rebelling, he entered Qingyunzhai, but was rejected. This time, it must have been the mighty Marquis who also saw Qingyun Ling, knowing that Liu Yunfeng and others were in trouble, so he took advantage of the fire to rob and send people to kill Liu Yunfeng and avenge his son. ”

Zhu Dingbang snorted heavily and said, "The people of this Cheng family are not as good as the generation. What a hero the old marquis Cheng was back then. When I arrived at Cheng Zhennan, I only knew that I was arrogant and lascivious, and I was rampant in the township. His second son, I don't know how many women from good families have been forced to death, and how many families have been ruined. If it weren't for being bumped into by Liu Yunfeng and slashed under the sword, I don't know how many more sins I would have to create. Cheng Zhennan did not repent and taught the remaining sons well, but instead intended to deceive the court and falsely accuse Liu Yunfeng and others of rebellion. This time, he actually colluded with Qin Mu again to seek revenge against Liu Yunfeng. I think he is taking the Cheng family on the road to desperation. ”

Lu Gongyi snorted, his face became a little heavy, and said: "Over the years, the Japanese have been raiding and looting in Fujian and Zhejiang from time to time. Although the imperial court garrison also tried to encircle and suppress, the Japanese were all small activities, and there were many masters among them, who came and went like the wind. Once successful, the Japanese would either retreat to the sea or re-infiltrate and pretend to be good citizens. The effect of the encirclement and suppression by the officers and troops was very poor. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Gongyi's face became more solemn, and he continued: "In the past few years, the Japanese people have robbed the people of Fujian and Zhejiang, or they have been concealed by officials in Fujian and Zhejiang. Or, even if it is occasionally reported, it is understated by Qin Mu and others, and it is called the disease of scabies. Fujian and Zhejiang secretly reported that this mighty marquis secretly colluded with the Japanese people. I'm worried that in this battle of Qingyunzhai, the mighty marquis will not be able to take revenge, and next, I am afraid that he will send people again to participate in the interception and killing of Liu Yunfeng. It is even possible to ask the Japanese to help. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Pu frowned and said, "This matter really can't be guarded against. The Japanese people came to our court, nominally, to admire our great country demeanor and to pay tribute and learn from our court. But over the years, the Japanese have continued to spy on all kinds of secrets of our dynasty and secretly do some dirty things. I hate those mediocre officials in the DPRK, every time they hear about such things, they just say that the Japanese country is a small state, so there is nothing to worry about. I'm worried that the Japanese have bad intentions. Now, the Japanese are colluding with Cheng Zhennan and other important ministers in the border areas. Over time, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Dingbang slapped his right hand on the armrest of the seat and said angrily: "He dare?! If he Cheng Zhennan really dares to collude with the Japanese people, the old man will definitely make him crushed!"

Zhu Dingbang's slap fell, only to hear a click, as if the armrest of the seat was broken.

Lu Gongyi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhu, can you not break one of my chairs every time you come? I am not like you here, brother, from time to time some old subordinates will bring you some filial piety." ”

Zhu Dingbang was on the fire, and when Lu Gongyi said this, he pointed his finger at Lu Gongyi, crying and laughing.

Zeng Pu listened to his senior brother's jokes, and when he saw Zhu Dingbang's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Lu Gongyi continued: "In this matter, you still have to take precautions. The Japanese are greedy. If the mighty marquis promised heavy benefits, the Japanese people will definitely take action. The exercises practiced by the Japanese people are very different from those of my Central Plains martial arts. If you are caught off guard, I am worried that Jian'er will suffer a big loss. In this matter, we have to remind Jian'er and Yan'er, and let them be more careful. ”

Back to business, Zhu Dingbang and Zeng Pu also became solemn.

Zhu Dingbang thought for a while and said: "Now, I am in Taiyuan, confronting the northerners, and I really can't help but guard against the Japanese people taking the opportunity to make trouble. Otherwise. I asked a few old subordinates to send troops along the road to escort them. There is a large army to escort it, and it is expected that whether it is a Japanese person or a small person, he will definitely not dare to make a mistake. ”

Lu Gongyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "This law is inappropriate. It is absolutely not possible to use the escort of officers and soldiers. Originally, the will was just to take Liu Yunfeng and others back to Beijing for review. If the officers and troops are dispatched, it will not be justified in terms of feelings, reason, and law, but will cause another incident. Besides, since Liu Yunfeng had to try to find something, it would be inconvenient for him to act if he was accompanied by officials and soldiers. This is the kind of thing, it is best to let Jian'er and them secretly assist and help Liu Yunfeng find it. We also wanted to know what was it that made Qin Mu so nervous. ”

Hearing Lu Gongyi say this, although Zhu Dingbang was a little depressed, he also knew that what he said made sense.

Zhu Dingbang was about to speak, Zeng Pu said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, senior brother, you say, will this thing be related to the northerners? Recently, the northerners Chen Bing Taiyuan have not made any moves. This doesn't make sense!?"

Zhu Dingbang and Lu Gongyi were shocked when they heard this.

Zhu Dingbang also lowered his voice and said, "You mean, Qin Mu may have colluded with the northerners?"

Lu Gongyi thought for a while and said, "This guess is too much to do. Before there is evidence, it must not be disseminated. After all, Qin Mu is the prime minister of the dynasty. If it is rumored that he has collusion with the northerners, I am afraid that it will really shake the country's capital. ”

Zhu Dingbang and Zeng Pu had solemn faces and were silent.

Seeing this, Lu Gongyi continued: "When Liu Yunfeng finds something, everything will naturally fall into place." Let's pay more attention to Jian'er's situation along the way. ”

Zhu Dingbang nodded and said, "This time, on the side of Qingyun Village, the Sun family and the Dugu family have appeared. Liu Yunfeng has a wide range of friends and is extremely famous. Along the way, there must be more people to help him. On Qin Mu's side, several forces have also appeared. Qin Mu will definitely arrange more forces to participate in the interception. This time, I don't know how much blood will be shed again. ”

Zeng Pu said: "Brother Zhu has been fighting all his life, how can he be so soft-hearted? Jianghu people, eating Jianghu rice, where is the reason not to shed blood?"

Lu Gongyi took over the conversation and said, "Brother Zhu doesn't mean that he is afraid of bloodshed. Instead, I am worried that after this scene, I don't know how many righteous people will be damaged. ”

Zeng Pu naturally understands the truth in this.

After pondering for a while, Zeng Pu said: "Senior brother, the last time Qingyun ordered it, most of the rivers and lakes were stirred up. This time, even the imperial court was involved. Shall we listen to the Master's opinion on this matter?"

When Zhu Dingbang heard this, he immediately said: "If Senior Dong can intervene, this matter will be much simpler." ”

Lu Gongyi shook his head and said, "Master respects his old man, and he has not asked about the world for decades. Over the years, even my two brothers wanted to go to say hello, but it was difficult to find his old man's fairy traces. A while ago, the master took someone to talk and accepted a little junior brother for my two brothers to serve in front of him. Let my two brothers no longer have to worry too much about his old man. When the master said this, he must be unwilling to meddle in world affairs anymore. I'd better not alarm his old man. ”

Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang heard Lu Gongyi say this, so they had to give up.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Lu Gongyi said: "If you want to come, you will come after all." I'm doing my best. We're a couple of old guys, and we're all old. Things on the rivers and lakes naturally have laws on the rivers and lakes. It's just that this journey is very dangerous. I'm worried about whether Jian'er and Yan'er can handle it. ”

Zhu Dingbang understood the meaning of Lu Gongyi's words, snorted, and said: "The sons of the Zhu family are not pampered. Jian'er and Yan'er were born in my Zhu family. The old man didn't send them to the battlefield, and he took great care of them. This time, let the two brothers roll in the sea of swords and fire. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Dingbang's voice gradually had a sonorous meaning, and said: "Swords come and go, fair battles, if there is really any loss, it is that the two brothers are not as good as others, and they are no better than others." If some people don't follow the rules and secretly use some vicious methods, or some old guys, regardless of their identity, take action against their juniors, although I am old, I can still ride a horse, drive a bow, make a knife, and cut off people's heads!"
