Xu Fan lost his voice, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the city gate.
He didn't cry when his grandfather passed away, nor did he cry when something happened in his family. He knew the burden on his shoulders. As the eldest son, he couldn't cry...
But, it was different now, because of her, tears wet her eyes and flowed along the wind.
"Fourth, stop him!" The bald man was angry, spinning his sword, and immediately killed the knight fighting with Fourth.
But just as Lao Si was about to escape and attack Xu Fan, a literary power emerged in the county.
"Run, the watchman is here!" Lao Si screamed, turned around and ran away.
The bald man and others were carrying the county seat on their backs and had no idea what was going on. However, after listening to their companions' words, they reacted immediately, but before they could even run out a few steps, they froze in place.
The knight Lao Si cursed, turned around and jumped directly into the bushes.
"Kill the scholar, damn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of the bald man and the others were already flying before they even saw the watchman.
The corpse is to the end, the blood is flowing, and the dead can no longer die!
"Thank you..." Xu Fan's eyes were in a trance, and his body shook and fell to the ground.
"Master Xu!" Four knights from the martial arts community hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Fan.
"He's fine. He's just exhausted and weak." The watchman said casually.
"Thank you!" The four Jianghu knights clasped their fists, but when they looked up, the watchman had disappeared.
"Hurry and help them to the inn." A female knight with a sword hanging on her waist said.
As Xu Fan and Liu Rushi were sent to the inn, the excitement in the small county town disappeared.
"The mission failed, go back and report." A knight wearing a bamboo hat said.
Another heroine with a scarf on her face said softly: "I won't go back. Since that place is no longer there, there is no prison to restrain us. What do you think?"
The knight wearing a bamboo hat smiled slightly and said: "Maybe, who made us weak?"
…
Prime Minister's Mansion
"A bunch of trash!"
Prime Minister Qu Zhongyi was so angry that he could fail to kill anyone. How could he not be angry?
The old housekeeper and the two knights from the martial arts knelt on the ground and did not dare to move. They did not expect that Xu Fan would be protected by knights.
"Father, the top priority is to get rid of Xu Que as soon as possible. Even if Xu Fan is allowed to escape back to Zheyang County, we have countermeasures." Qu Feng stood up and said.
"This kid has indeed caused a lot of trouble recently, but he is in the city and won't go out. What can we do?" Qu Zhongyi said helplessly.
"Today that boy went to Dayan Academy. He heard that he defeated the magician Lu Xiang and drove the chess genius Chen Heping crazy. Why don't we make a fuss here?" Qu Feng said.
Qu Zhongyi said nothing, waiting for his second son's next words.
"The Cangyuan Lu family is behind Prime Minister Lu, and the Tian family is behind Chen Heping. If we make things worse, these two families may become enemies with Xu Que. At that time, we only need to add fuel to the fire, and the two families will definitely put their hatred to rest. To the Xu family. Then we will spread false news to lure Xu Que out of the city..."
After hearing this, Qu Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction: "How long will it take?"
"Seven days, seven days is enough!" Qu Feng replied.
"Okay, then go ahead and do it." Qu Zhongyi waved his hand.
When Qu Feng left the main hall, Qu Zhongyi's eyes fell on the butler and the two knights.
"Is the matter already clear?" Qu Zhongyi said solemnly.
"It's clear, we will definitely kill Xu Que this time!" the two knights clasped their fists.
"Okay, then just step back."
As Qu Zhongyi finished speaking, the two knights bowed before leaving the main hall.
But what Qu Zhongyi didn't know was that his plot to plot against Xu Que had failed, because tomorrow Xu Que would leave the capital openly and openly!
…
Lu Mansion
"What did you say?" Lu Qingfeng stood up and asked, "One is crazy? The other admires Xu Que's knowledge very much?"
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper replied respectfully: "I heard that the Tian family is sending someone over, sir..."
"A bunch of losers." Lu Qingfeng was very angry: "What if someone from the Tian family comes from him? It's Chen Heping who despises Xu Que, and he was the one who voluntarily challenged Xu Que. What does it have to do with us!"
At this moment, Lu Qingfeng had already thought of a way to escape, and did not take the Tian family into consideration at all.
"Yes, the Tian family is nothing to worry about, but the Cangyuan Lu family has issued a message to let us take care of ourselves in the future, saying that there is no end to the literary world and Master Lu cherishes it," the housekeeper recalled.
"Interesting, you want to draw a clear line with our Lu family!" Lu Qingfeng smiled disdainfully. Although the Cangyuan Lu family is a clan, it still lacks some weight compared to his Lu family.
Just when Lu Qingfeng was thinking about how to deal with Xu Que, a servant stood outside the hall and said: "Master, the head of the Tian family wants to see him."
So fast?
"Invite him in." Lu Qingfeng said.
After a while, an old man wearing exquisite silk and satin stepped into the main hall.
"Tian Feng has met Mr. Lu." The old man slightly cupped his hands, but his expression was not good.
"Clan Chief Tian came here because of Chen Heping's incident?" Lu Qingfeng didn't want to mince words and simply started asking directly.
"Exactly!" Tian Feng stood up straight and looked at the person above him: "I don't understand something, please let Master Lu know."
When Lu Qingfeng saw that the old man actually spoke to him in a questioning tone, his body straightened up and his eyes became sharp.
"I heard that Master Lu sent someone to instigate He Ping to challenge Xu Que. I wonder if this is true or not?" Tian Feng asked.
"Clan Chief Tian, this matter has nothing to do with our Lu Mansion. It was Chen Heping who heard about Xu Que's name, so he volunteered to challenge. How could he rely on my Lu Mansion?" Lu Qingfeng replied with a smile.
"You, the steward of the Lu Mansion, spread news in Dayan Academy. Although the young man is ambitious, he does not distinguish between right and wrong. That's why he did this under the instigation of your steward. Isn't this the truth?" Tian Feng asked again.
"Clan Chief Tian, although the butler spread the news, it was also out of good intentions. After all, young people, it is good to learn more about literary skills. Unexpectedly, they invited Xu Que to challenge, so I don't blame you. It’s the Lu Mansion…”
"Lu Qingfeng, although you and I are both Jinshi in the Yuanli year, I am much older than you. Do you think I can believe this?" Tian Feng was a little angry. He felt that Lu Qingfeng was clearly shirking his responsibility.
"Clan Chief Tian, the person who drove Chen Heping crazy was Xu Que. As a Confucian scholar, you should be aware of the dispute between literature and Taoism. Since you think that the Lu family is responsible, then I have nothing to say." Lu Qingfeng smiled. road.
"Lu Qingfeng, let's wait and see. You will pay the price for what you said today!" Tian Feng was angry, waved his sleeves and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing the old guy leave, Lu Qingfeng's sneer became even stronger. He didn't seem to care about the Tian family, after all, none of them were officials in the court!
"Master, what should we do next?" the butler bowed and asked.
"This matter is bound to spread. You can find a way to add fire to it and draw the fire to that Shuzi." Lu Qingfeng said.
"Yes, sir." The butler handed over his hand and said, "Young man, go and do it now, and make sure the fire is burned on that dude."
…
Early next morning
Xu Que walked out of Baihua Building early.
He was in a good mood today. Although there were eyeliners watching nearby, he didn't care anymore.
He walked towards the North City Gate as planned, then went to a restaurant and waited.
As time passed, Xu Que looked up at the clock, and then called waiter.
After explaining the matter, Xu Que took out two ingots of silver and handed them to the waiter. The waiter who picked up the silver smiled happily and ran towards Buzhuang.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, the waiter came to Xu Que holding three rolls of red cloth four feet long.
"No longer?" Xu Que was very surprised. Although he knew that the textile industry in this world was underdeveloped, there was still at least five feet of cloth.
"Sir, all the five-foot ones have been taken away, and now there are only four-foot ones." The waiter said helplessly.
Xu Que didn't say anything else. After all, there was no five-foot-long cloth, so let's write on four-foot-long cloth!
What does Xu Que want to do? No one knows, but half of the city will know later!
