Chapter 3: Danger Lurks (Part II)

The old porter slapped him on the head and scolded: "What do you do with others when you lose all your money, see how the prince punishes you." Zhu Yushi said to Zhu Yushi: "When did Lin Shaoxia come out of the mansion? Why didn't the old man see it?" Zhu Yushi knew that he was Ye Luzhi's eyeliner, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to greet Mr., but I didn't dare to disturb Mr. when I saw that Mr. was asleep, what was wrong?" Mr. Concierge smiled awkwardly: "Shaoxia is a guest of honor, of course there is nothing wrong." Then he straightened his face and said to Wang Lihu: "Wait here, I'll go in and report." Zhu Yushi knew that time was pressing, and after saying goodbye to Black Friday, he entered the mansion.

Zhu Yushi knew that Luo Tianchu was still teaching martial arts at this time, and the matter was very important and he had to discuss it personally, so he walked towards the second courtyard on the second floor. At this time, the nursing home has dispersed, and the noisy laughter and scolding accompanied by the aroma of wine and meat wafted out of Shima Furukawa's house, and his loud voice can be heard from afar, fighting with the nursing homes. The garden in the third was cold and quiet, and he walked briskly along. As soon as I walked to the edge of the pond, I suddenly heard a delicate and nervous voice in the flowers calling: "Lin ...... Lin Shaoxia, please stay. ”

Zhu Yushi looked at it in amazement, only to see a maid turn out from behind the plane tree. He had some impressions of this girl, remembering that her name was Liuxiang, fifteen or sixteen years old, pure and lovely, with two shallow pear vortices when she smiled on her round face.

There are a total of six Han maids in the palace, who were supposed to serve the three ladies, and Yeluying deliberately sent them to the front yard to serve Luo Tianchu and others, which can be described as thoughtful, and Liuxiang is one of them. She was in love for the first time, and unknowingly fell in love with Zhu Yushi's powdery handsome boy who wore a mask, but Zhu Yushi didn't notice it at all. Ruka hesitated shyly for several days, but today she finally mustered up the courage to confess her heart. She saw Zhu Yushi walking alone from a distance in the garden, her face instantly blushed and cramped, her heart jumped, and the courage she had mustered for a few days almost collapsed, so she quickly hid behind a tree and prayed that he would not take this path, who knew that Zhu Yushi had just walked here. When the footsteps approached, her heart rose to her throat, and even she couldn't believe that she had spoken, and it felt like she was in a dream, so she had to walk out hard.

Zhu Yushi was stunned at first, and said with a smile: "Miss Liuxiang, what's the matter?" The human skin mask showed a moving smile, Liuxiang couldn't help but be stunned, blushing to the base of her neck, and said, "I...... I...... I" She has always been clever and stammered, and she couldn't say a word of admiration that she had repeatedly pondered for a few days, but fortunately she didn't forget the most important thing, and hurriedly took out a folded silk handkerchief, stuffed it into Zhu Yushi's hand, and said shyly: "This ...... This one is up to you. "Then he ran away and fled.

Zhu Yushi does not know why, unfold the silk handkerchief to see, see a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the white silk, although the content is simple, but the embroidery is first-class, the mandarin ducks are embroidered in red, white, black, brown, green, yellow six colors, not only the stitches are delicate, even the charm of the mandarin ducks is vivid. There is also a pink and white lotus flower next to the mandarin duck, which is about to bloom, and a few curved blue lines below outline the ripples on the water surface, and a picture of the mandarin duck playing in the water full of artistic conception jumps on the pa. Zhu Yushi didn't know what Si Pa meant, sighed secretly, silently put it away, and came to the fourth courtyard.

Further back is the inner courtyard, and as a distinguished guest, he cannot trespass. The two guarded guards said: "Distinguished guests stay, you are not allowed to enter here." Zhu Yushi said: "My brother is teaching the county lord to practice martial arts, I have something to find him, and I am annoyed to spread the word." "The courtyard is embarrassed: "No one is allowed to disturb the county lord when he is practicing martial arts, so you might as well wait." Zhu Yushi said: "There is indeed an urgent matter in the next place, and it is really impossible to delay, so I hope to take care of it." The nurse thought for a while and said: "We are subordinates, we dare not offend the county lord, the young man is a distinguished guest, you might as well go by yourself, everything has nothing to do with us." Zhu Yushi thought it was just right, and said, "Thank you." And he went into the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Xiwutang, I heard the sound of "snorting" sword wind from inside, and thought that the county lord's progress was very fast. Suddenly, I heard Luo Tianchu say: "Who is outside?" Zhu Yushi said: "The younger brother cultivates martial arts, and he has something to discuss with his brother." After a while, the door opened, but it was Ye Luqi, who was drenched in sweat, who opened the door, and said dissatisfiedly: "The county lord said that you should not be disturbed when practicing martial arts, didn't the two stupid melons at the door tell you?" Zhu Yushi said: "I have no intention of offending the county lord, I just want to occupy the eldest brother for a moment." Yeluqi said unhappily: "As a guest, you don't follow the rules of the lord's house, and you break in at will, you regard the palace as a place." Zhu Yushi had no choice but to confess again. At this time, Luo Tianchu said: "Your Highness's newly learned three moves have been basically mastered, and the rest is just proficiency, I think I will practice here today." Ye Luqi rolled his eyes, and asked Zhu Yushi: "This county lord can forgive you for your recklessness, but you want to tell me what to find him?" Zhu Yushi thought of the reason when he came, and said: "Li Gui went wrong when he was practicing, so he hung off the fire and fell into the devil, and the internal strength of the owner of Xiao Zhuang is not enough to guide his true qi to return to the sea of qi, and he must have the help of his eldest brother, and his life is at stake, so he hurried here, don't blame the collision." Yeluqi couldn't hear the truth of the words, so she had to say, "Okay, you guys go." "Let's go on sword practice.

Luo Zhu and the others returned to the front yard, and when they met Mr. Porter taking Wang Lihu and Black Friday to the living room, Mr. Porter reprimanded Wang Lihu as he walked: "Look at what you have done! It is not worth two thousand yuan to sell you." Wang Lihu Nuo Nuo said yes, and glared at Luo Zhu and the others fiercely when he saw them. Hei Wu smiled slightly, and the two sides walked over with their fists in their hands.

After they returned to the small building, they called Liu Shaoqing and others to discuss together. After closing the door, Luo Tianchu said, "Tell me quickly, what happened?" Zhu Yushi told the story of following Ye Luzhi. They were all in a heavy mood after hearing this, and after being silent for a while, Zhao Hengshan said: "We can't delay it, those bitches have guessed our identity, and the Jin soldiers are about to march into Tongguan, and the castle master is not in the group and the dragon is leaderless, but I am afraid that the Lu Tang master will be unable to support it alone." Luo Tianchu said: "Then what should I do here?" Zhao Hengshan hurriedly said: "Guanzhong is the foundation, even the gold and silver mountains will not be changed, according to the method of the Sa family, they will kidnap Yelu's father and daughter tonight, and ask about the whereabouts of the treasure, if they can't ask, they will leave to go back immediately." Luo Tianchu also knew that what he said was reasonable, but he was really unwilling to return in vain, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Liu Shaoqing said: "Don't hesitate now, if you want to go tonight, you have to find a way to deal with tomorrow, that old voice is likely to be a terrible master, and there are eight mounts in the stable, Cheng Jian They should also be among them, if they see through it, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get out." Zhu Yushi also persuaded: "Xiao Luo, I know you are unwilling, but we have spent a month here and gained nothing, and sometimes we have to give up when we should give up, otherwise the loss will be greater." Li Xiao also said: "The subordinates agree with what Hall Master Zhao said, no amount of gold and silver treasures can be exchanged in Guanzhong, if Guanzhong is lost, even if we obtain the treasure, what is the use?"

Luo Tianchu was silent, as a commander, other people's opinions can only be used as a reference, and in the end he has to decide for himself, but he must not only bear a lot of pressure, but also have accurate judgment, he said slowly: "I decided to stay for another three days, and after three days, I will rush back to Chang'an immediately regardless of success or failure." Zhao Hengshan hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it will be too late in three days! Jin Bing is marching towards Guanzhong!" Luo Tianchu explained: "Even if we leave immediately, it will take half a month to return to Guanzhong at the earliest, so it is not bad for these three days." If the Jin soldiers attack on a large scale, they will definitely carry a large amount of grain and grass and siege equipment, and the marching speed will never be fast. Last year, we strengthened the defense of Tongguan, made eight bed crossbows, 200,000 arrows, a warehouse of vegetable oil and rocks on a hill, and 30,000 garrisons were the elite of our fort, and it was impossible for the Jin soldiers to capture Tongguan in a short time. Zhu Yushi said: "You can calm down, what if you recognize us after the Yan Wushu tomorrow?" Aren't you worried at all?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "The one who should be worried should be himself, if he really recognizes him, his death will come, and I will never leave Linhuang empty-handed." Li Xiao said with a smile: "Even if you leave Linhuang, you have to finish killing Yan Wushu, and the value of his head is not inferior to the treasure." Luo Tianchu smiled: "It's a pity that his head can't be used to buy weapons and war horses." Or real money is more practical. Liu Shaoqing said: "Are you really sure you want to stay" Luo Tianchu nodded and said: "Yes, we will act as usual tonight." (To be continued.) )
