Da'an City is the city closest to Hengshan Mountain. It is a large city in the south. It naturally has a royal guard station to deter evil spirits from all directions.
Lu Hanjiang secretly transferred a large number of manpower here early in the morning. Zeng Hong, a member of Qianhu of Jinyiwei, was responsible for the coordination, while Bian Guang and Cui Yixiao, who had just been promoted to deputy Qianhu, were responsible for assisting.
On this day, after Cui Yixiao finished handling the matters at hand, he came out and met Bian Guang who was drinking tea in the hall. He hurried forward to meet him.
"Master Bian."
Cui Yixiao's attitude was respectful and his expression was natural. Although the two were at the same level, Bian Guang was Lu Hanjiang's right-hand man. It was only a matter of time before he was promoted to the post of Qianhu, so he naturally needed to treat him with courtesy.
"Master Cui, have you just finished your work?" Bian Guang smiled and handed the other party a cup of tea. People respect me one foot and others one foot. This is the way he has learned to behave in Jinyiwei for many years.
Cui Yixiao quickly took the tea, sat down and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of personnel scheduling, it's just a bit cumbersome."
"Thank you Master Cui for your hard work."
"Mr. Bian, you're welcome."
After the greetings, Cui Yixiao remembered something and asked: "I have something to ask your lord. News came from the north. Wudang sent Bai Jingnian, one of the seven sons of Wudang, to participate in the Five Mountains Conference. Is the arrangement from above... ...?"
Bian Guang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's just you and me here. Mr. Cui might as well speak frankly."
"I thought maybe I was a little anxious."
Cui Yixiao said solemnly: "The Wudang Sect is a pillar of the righteousness of the world, and it is true that the Jinyiwei is in serious trouble. But if we fight against them at this time, I am afraid that our losses will not be small."
Commander Meng Yuan's plan for the Jin Yiwei was to subdue the entire Jianghu forces, such as Shaolin and Wudang, who were a thorn in the side. If they could be weakened, they would naturally be weakened severely.
But weakening does not mean that Jinyiwei has to take action personally. After all, they have lost a lot of strength just a year ago. If they fight against Wudang again, the price of victory will be high, and they will give other forces a chance to take advantage.
"Master Cui is overly worried. This action is not against the entire Wudang Sect, but just for that one person."
After Bian Guang smiled, his eyes became slightly solemn: "That Bai Jingnian must be removed. It has nothing to do with his status as the Seventh Son of Wudang. It's just because he is a major problem for Mr. Lu."
"this......"
Cui Yixiao was taken aback, and lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Thank you, Mr. Bian, for reminding me that I almost made a big mistake. Please tell me, Mr. Bian, who exactly is Bai Jingnian...?"
"Do you still remember Lu Baihu?" Bian Guang asked nonchalantly.
Cui Yixiao was stunned. There were only a few people with the surname Lu in the Jin Yiwei. After so many years, it seemed that apart from their boss, Mr. Lu, there should be no other Jin Yiwei with the surname Lu.
Bian Guang sighed and said, "Do you still remember Lu Tianran?"
Cui Yixiao frowned, and it took him a while before he had an idea: "The one hundred households stationed in Hankou a few years ago, Lu Tianran?"
"good."
Bian Guang nodded lightly, and then reminded Cui Yixiao: "Lu Baihu was also a figure in the Jinyi Guards back then, and Commander Meng also admired him. The most important thing is that when we Master Lu first joined the Jinyi Guards, he He serves as a flag officer under him."
The story of this Lu Tianran Baihu is also a legend. In the first half of his life, he was so domineering that his name was well known all over the country. He maintained his prestige for many years until he fell into the hands of a Jianghu man and was severely punished. He developed an arrogant temper, and it was heard that he committed suicide in the end. It was considered a scandal in the Jinyi Guards, and naturally no one would publicize it vigorously.
"This..." Cui Yixiao's eyes widened, and it took him a while to regain his composure: "With such a connection, it's no wonder Mr. Lu attaches so much importance to it. In this way, the person who initially attacked Lu Baihu Is the Jianghu person that Bai Jingnian? Then Mr. Lu’s idea is... to avenge the dead Lu Baihu? "
"Perhaps, I can't guess what your lord is thinking."
Bian Guang shook his head, and the topic came to an abrupt end. In fact, as Lu Hanjiang's most capable subordinate and confidant, he knew that was not the case.
According to Bian Guang's guess, both Lu Tianran and their boss, Mr. Lu Hanjiang, should come from the same family.
It's just that one is hidden deeper and the other is directly exposed.
...
In a small town not far from the Hengshan Sect, Lu Hanjiang is still doing nothing today.
On a sunny afternoon, Lu Hanjiang was drinking tea in the courtyard. Huangfu Xiaoyuan was standing by wearing a mask. Because he would stay here longer than expected, he rented a house.
"Who taught Xiaoyuan's martial arts?"
Yongle and Shangluo were not close by, so Lu Hanjiang didn't have to worry about them hearing his name.
Even in such a pleasant environment, Huangfu Xiaoyuan was still slightly tensed and found it difficult to relax. When Lu Hanjiang asked, her tone became a little lower: "He's my brother."
"Huangfu Yushu? His martial arts are indeed extraordinary. Regardless of what he does, he can be regarded as a figure."
Lu Hanjiang said and couldn't help but smacked his lips: "You are very lucky. In comparison, I am much worse off. After Master Meng didn't want to care about me, he replaced him with that guy to teach me martial arts. His name is ...Tsk, I can’t remember, but based on seniority, I should call him clan brother.”
A curious look flashed in Huangfu Xiaoyuan's eyes.
"Do you want to hear it? Forget it, just treat it as what I want to say."
Lu Hanjiang lazily leaned on the rickety reclining chair, looking at the clear blue sky above his head in a trance: "My brother, he is a rotten person. He is drunk, gambling, lustful, and has many innocent lives on his hands. Now probably 80% of them are suffering underground."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan listened silently and said nothing.
"However, my brother has never killed anyone out of selfish desires, nor framed anyone out of selfish desires."
Lu Hanjiang changed the subject and paused slightly: "Jin Yiwei is an official weapon of the imperial court, and he always acts under orders. My brother has always been on official business. If the superiors ask him to kill the whole family, he will never let anyone go. But he did not do it because of Selfish desire has killed any innocent person."
"Although he has many bad habits, he still fulfills his duties," was Huangfu Xiaoyuan's evaluation, so she expressed her doubts: "Why do you call me a 'bad person'?"
"Because he still wants to be a good person." When he said this, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You know, my clan brother not only kills people, he also helps many people. He is a thief who has always been a thief. He sometimes kills his father who is guilty of the crime. He will also feel compassion and leave some money for the innocent Yishuang to make ends meet. Although he is never popular with others, he is persistent. Here it is.”
"This..." Huangfu Xiaoyuan became more and more confused. Logically speaking, people who behave like this should be considered "good people".
"It's just a pity that the heroes in the world seem to have another understanding of this."
Lu Hanjiang still had a smile on his face, but he was a little calmer: "There was once a kind of person who was on duty. When he saw a thief who was old and young, he couldn't bear to kill him and let him go. This matter It is said that everyone in the world praises him as a 'good official', what do you think will happen next?"
"..." Huangfu Xiaoyuan was silent.
Lu Hanjiang said to himself: "If someone commits personal abuse, the good-hearted person will be demoted and demoted, and the family of the offender, haha - the court decrees that not reporting the knowledge is the same crime. Originally, it could be solved with just one head. , now no one in the family can even think of running away."
"Good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things." Huangfu Xiaoyuan said calmly.
"But some blind heroes in the world of martial arts can't see this. They only see some 'good officials' sparing a hero in the martial arts, but they don't see that the hero's family is ultimately killed. That's why they only see some people." The 'dog officer' killed someone's father who committed a crime, but he didn't see that the man still left money to take care of Yishuang."
Lu Hanjiang looked at the high and far sky, his eyes gradually drifting away: "My brother was approached by such a blind hero. Not only was he taught a lesson, but he was also severely threatened. Although I am not sure that this Wudang disciple has any I don’t have the guts to risk being wanted to kill Jin Yiwei, but unfortunately, my clan brother bullies the weak and fears the strong and is as timid as a rat, so he still gives up.”
