The moonlight was deep, and the gates of Jiangzhou City were closed. Only the top of the city was still lit by fire. As the two factions of Yijian Villa and Jinwumen approached, the Yanyang soldiers responsible for guarding the city also noticed the team of one hundred people.
After a while, the soldiers left behind at the top of the city were gathered and ready. But when the two disciples came within a hundred steps, they stopped and only the two riders continued to move forward.
The general guarding the city shouted: "The city gate is closed. No matter who comes, please hope to enter Jiangzhou again at dawn!" Lu Fengbai and Ye Dangting, who were at the front, looked at each other, and Lu Fengbai made a question gaze.
"Feng Bai also said before that his reputation is not good now, so it doesn't matter if it's even worse... right?"
"It's not that bad!" After receiving Lu Fengbai's permission, he saw that the horse in the yellow shirt was actually a royal horse and took a few steps forward.
The Yanyang soldiers on top of the city all clenched their bow strings, ready to shoot this man at any time. Ye Dangting raised his voice and shouted loudly: "I'm passing through Yijian Villa, why don't I open the door quickly to welcome guests!"
"My eldest brother Lu Fengbai is the grandson of General Lu Xu. How many of you juniors in the army were not personally mentored by General Lu?"
"If the gates of Jiangzhou City are closed today, I won't be the one to reason with you tomorrow!"
"What? You don't understand what I'm saying!" No matter it's Yijian Villa, Jinwumen's side, or the Yanyang soldiers guarding the city.
Ye Dang listened to the shouts with a look of astonishment on his face. Lu Fengbai was the only one hiding his face and laughing.
When you go out, you still need to have someone to support you. Even if the backer is a bit outdated, he still has to do it when he can use it to bluff others.
Just like when traveling in the world, you have to tell me that my eldest brother is the owner of Yijian Villa, Lu Fengbai!
Or if you are hanging out in the market, you can shout, "My eldest brother Lu Fengbai thought he was the richest young man in Jiangnan back then, and his pockets were bulging!"
At this time, the shouts were even louder. After all, to these Yanyang soldiers, my eldest brother Lu Fengbai’s grandfather was their uncle!
The Jiangzhou guard just thought for a moment and then personally led people to open the city gate. In just a moment, dozens of lights lined up outside Jiangzhou City Gate.
And right in front of the soldiers stood the guard general wearing armor. When the disciples of the two factions approached, his eyes fell on the white robe in front of the crowd.
Even if he couldn't recognize Lu Fengbai, he could still recognize the weapon behind him. That was the sword used by Lu Xu - Qi Ye, which was forged by Si Xuan himself, the master of the old mountain of Sword Making Peak.
It can be said that this knife represents Lu Xu in a sense. The legend of Lu Xu has been widely circulated among the Yanyang Army. After all, no one can match him in terms of military merit, courage, courage, or personality.
Even if we mention it, there is only one person who is very close to him, King Hanchuan who has been guarding the border all year round.
"The last general's surname is Han!" Jiangzhou's general said. As he said that, he punched Lu Fengbai's chest and looked at Qi Ye instead of Lu Fengbai.
Lu Fengbai then clasped his fists in return. He naturally knew that this person was not afraid that he was Lu Xu's grandson.
It was Jing Qiye's original owner who opened the door.
"Han has heard about what happened in the mountains and fields today and has gone south..." The guard surnamed Han said again.
Lu Fengbai responded with thanks: "Thank you, General Han!" The entire Jiangzhou City gate seemed particularly quiet after the conversation between the two ended.
When all the disciples from both factions entered, the city gate was closed and restored to its previous appearance. ... Lu Fengbai seemed to be familiar with the roads in this city. The crowd didn't walk on the main road in the city for long before heading towards the west and north direction of the city.
Not many people were disturbed along the way, and they quickly found a mansion. The plaque on the gate of the courtyard reads:
The word "Sufu". As soon as the white-robed figure stepped forward, before he could knock on the door, the courtyard door was opened from the inside out.
The person who opened the door was a woman in red and black skirt. Lin Manliu said in surprise: "Sister Xiao Xiao!" Xiao Xiao looked at the first boy who called him and smiled at him.
"Hey, Man Liu, long time no see!" Lu Fengbai turned to look at everyone and said, "I'll rest here for the rest of the night. Brother Mo and you guys should come with me!" Chong Ying didn't wait for anyone else to speak. He started shouting to help the injured senior brother, thus escaping from the discussion.
In his words, these things are left to Brother Lu and Brother Ye, and you can just fight wherever you point them out! Lin Manliu also wanted to run away, but just as he was about to speak out, Ye Dangting grabbed him by the back.
"Master Lin, please come in!" The laughter of the old liar came from behind the young man. Then, under Xiao Xiao's guidance, he went to the lobby in the middle of the mansion.
After entering the room, Lu Fengbai didn't hesitate and sat directly on the main seat. On the left and right, Mo Jingchuan and Ye Dangting, the masters of the Golden Crow Sect, sat respectively.
The disciples of the Jinwu Sect, including Bai Zi, took their seats one by one in the direction of Mo Jingchuan. The people from Yijian Villa took their seats where Ye Dangting was. When Lin Manliu arrived, he found that the master had not yet taken his seat.
The young man looked at the master behind the old liar, and the woman in black also noticed his gaze. Eleven glanced at Lin Manliu, signaling him to take a seat as soon as possible.
And she herself stood quietly behind Ye Dangting, without any words. Lin Manliu didn't know why, so he could only listen to his master's words and sit at the bottom of the table.
The young man noticed that the two people who first appeared in the forest, the young man in red riding a horse, and the woman from the Miao village were also present at Yijian Villa.
After everyone was seated, Lu Fengbai bowed to everyone and took the lead in opening the ceremony.
"Lu has been hiding from the world for many days, so that he can repay Xunhan Mountain with a great gift... Tonight is the time to explain to all of you!" Mo Jingchuan laughed loudly: "Brother Lu, just put it directly. , what we do in the future depends entirely on Brother Lu!"
"Okay!" Lu Fengbai simply responded. With a wave of his white robe's sleeves, three more letters appeared in his hand. He looked at everyone and placed the letters on the table one by one.
"These three letters were obtained by Lu in a maple forest in the south of Shannan during his first trip to the west..." The boy in a short shirt remembered what he had discovered at that time, after meeting up with his brothers from Yijian Villa. , first solved the siege of Goat Bazi, and then went to Maple Leaf Forest.
"The content in the letter is evidence that Jianghu sects colluded with officers, soldiers, and bandits to murder the people of the area!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised. If it was just bandits and some sects joining forces, it would be reasonable. Can be followed.
But when it comes to officers and soldiers joining forces with those rebellious soldiers and gangsters, and Jianghu sects... how can one be convinced?
"When I found the letter, I had the same expression as you all, so I spent these days checking them one by one..."
"The Yanyang soldiers mentioned in the letter were contacted during Lu's northward journey, and it was confirmed that this matter was true..."
"As for the soldiers and bandits, they were either silenced or fled without a trace. It is still not possible to find out..."
"The third-party personnel who finally cooperated, these small sects who are entrenched in the same place, and the investigation over the past few months has begun to show clues, and there is indeed a relationship..."
"Only for the Tudou lineage, Xunhan Mountain has become a place where this matter cannot be avoided..." Lu Fengbai said this and looked at Eleven.
The woman in black nodded, and Lu Fengbai continued to speak.
"Preliminarily, it can be concluded that the three parties joined forces in a rough manner. The soldiers and bandits started to cause chaos, the officers and soldiers sent people to suppress it, and finally the small sects came to deal with the aftermath..."
"After repeating this, Lu guessed that it was to build momentum for the soldiers in the area..." Ye Dangting sighed and said: "In this peaceful world, there is no military merit to be obtained. If the powerful people had joined earlier, I'm afraid this would be the last resort. The quickest way..." Lu Fengbai also sighed and picked up the letter on the desk with one hand.
"Among the three parties, the one with the closest contacts and the most plans is Xunhanshan..."
"Although it was not mentioned specifically in the letter, there is a record of the collection of supplies for the fifth year of Shengyang. The time was during the Sword Appreciation Conference at Zhujian Peak..."
"The Yanyang soldiers who were responsible for transporting the baggage set out from Shannan into central Guizhou, deliberately detouring through Juzhou, and finally went to Lingnan..." But during the process of transporting the baggage, something unexpected happened!
"
"It was said that the supplies were robbed by soldiers and bandits, and all the Yanyang soldiers who were transported were killed. In the end, it was the Xunhanshan disciples who returned to the south who rescued them, and returned the supplies to the Yanyang military camp stationed in Shannan..." The woman in black double Clenching his fists, saying this still doesn't prove that Xunhan Mountain is related to the sword appreciation accident, so how can we say it?
Lin Manliu suddenly thought of something and was debating whether to speak or not when the leg of the table and chair he was sitting on was kicked by him.
Lu Fengbai heard the noise and said, "Man Liu, do you have something to ask?"
"Master Lu, the letter sent to Yunmengya Town in Yuezhou a few days ago was written by Master Lu?" Lu Fengbai did not reply, but shook his head and nodded again.
boy in short shirt
He said "Oh" and stopped talking. He had the answer in his mind. The letter was indeed not written by Lu Fengbai, but it was sent by Lu Fengbai.
So from the time Lu Fengbai traveled north, or from the time the old liar met Ye Chengzhu in Yangzhou, Que Xie had already been cooperating with Yijian Villa.
Lin Manliu's question seemed to arouse Mo Jingchuan's curiosity. The big man laughed and said: "Bai Zi, learn more! Look at you, how stupid you are...do you understand this?" Bai Zi coughed lightly: "Junior brother Lin is naturally very smart. , Bai Zi can't learn it, but I have already figured out the previous question!" What he wanted to understand was a question that Mo Jingchuan had just asked on the way.
Why did the Jinwu Sect’s deployment need to be exposed so early? They showed up before they were sure whether they could kill Tu Dou. Then it would be even harder to kill Tu Dou in the future!
But now looking at Lu Fengbai's reply, he understood. No matter when the Golden Crow Sect appears, it is still in their plan.
The trump card for killing Tudou and annihilating Xunhan Mountain was not the Yijian Villa faction, nor was it the Jinwu Sect.
