Hefei County, Beicheng!
On the street, a carriage drove quickly.
The people sitting in the carriage were Lu Xuan and Zhou Tai. Lu Xuan took Zhou Tai into the city in order to capture Huang Biao, the magistrate of Hefei.
Hefei is an important town, and Lu Xuan only has a thousand black armored soldiers. It is simply unrealistic to attack Hefei by force. If you choose to raid the city gate, you will definitely have an encounter with Ji Ling inside the city.
According to the information obtained, Ji Ling has three thousand elites in Hefei. Lu Xuan's black-armored soldiers were fighting Ji Ling's men head-on. Even if they won, they would pay a heavy price, which Lu Xuan didn't want to see.
Therefore, Lu Xuan chose to take a dangerous move.
He took Zhou Taixian into the city, captured Hefei County Magistrate Huang Biao, and took Huang Biao out of the county. He then used Huang Biao to lure the snake out of its hole and lure Ji Ling out of the county.
Ji Ling is out of the city, so it's easier to deal with.
Zhou Tai sat next to Lu Xuan, with some worry on his rough face, and said: "My lord, to deal with Huang Biao, you might as well come forward in a humble way. You go and deal with Huang Biao. If anything goes wrong, you will be in trouble."
Lu Xuan looked confident and said: "Take a look for yourself. With your big body and rough cheeks, once you show up, Huang Biao will not see you, and even if he sees you, he will be wary. I will go in person, and you will be responsible. That’s the support from outside.”
Zhou Tai nodded, still worried.
"Sir, we're here."
The soldier driving the car spoke up to remind him.
The carriage stopped, Lu Xuan took a brocade box, got off the carriage, and came to the gate of the county government office.
Today, Lu Xuan is wearing high-quality Shu brocade clothes, which are of high quality. He wears a Jinxian crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, sword-shaped eyebrows and sharp eyes. At first glance, he is from a big family.
The concierge of the county government office is responsible for receiving people and entertaining guests, and always watches people serve food. When he saw Lu Xuan's clothes, he felt a touch of respect and asked softly: "Does this young master come to the county government office for anything?"
Lu Xuan held his head high and said forcefully: "My name is Yuan Lu. I come from Shouchun. I have something important to discuss with County Magistrate Huang. You should report it immediately."
"Master, wait a moment."
The concierge raised his brows even more respectfully.
The owner of Jiujiang County is Yuan Shu, and the visitor's surname is Yuan, and he comes from Shouchun. Maybe he is someone from Yuan Shu, and should be a member of the Yuan family. Moreover, the other party's clothes were extremely luxurious and he was definitely a descendant of the Yuan family.
The porter turned around to report, and after a while, he came back and said respectfully: "Mr. Yuan, please follow me."
Lu Xuan nodded.
In Jiujiang County, it is very useful to use Yuan Shu's banner.
Lu Xuan followed the concierge into the county government office and came outside the study. The concierge hunched his back slightly and opened the door himself. He waited for Lu Xuan to enter before closing the door and exiting.
Lu Xuan strode in and saw Huang Biao who was handling government affairs. Facing Huang Biao, Lu Xuan looked calm and walked steadily without any panic.
Huang Biao also looked over.
When he saw Lu Xuan's appearance, he admired in his heart that he was such a handsome young man, and he indeed looked like a descendant of a big family.
Huang Biao was also thinking that the person in front of him was named Yuan Lu, he came from Shouchun, and he was most likely a member of the Yuan family. Because of this identity, Huang Biao lost his guard and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, please sit down!"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "No rush, let's talk about business first."
He opened the box directly.
For a time, the golden light shone brightly, and the jade articles shone brightly. The box was full of gold cakes and jade articles, and the light shone brightly, making people dazzled.
Lu Xuan took the box and said in a deep voice: "I came to Hefei because I hope to join forces with County Magistrate Huang to do some business. Although I have some status in the Yuan family, my ability is poor and I am a useless person. Do some business and make money. This money is my sincerity."
After saying this, Lu Xuan steadily took the box and walked forward.
Huang Biao also saw the money in the box, his eyes shone with even more greed.
That's a lot of money.
Huang Biao thought about Lu Xuan's words again and was even more sure that the other party was from the Yuan family. If the other party wants to give him money, he must make more money. But Huang Biao didn't take it to heart. If he and the Yuan family in front of him could make money, there would be no problem.
Huang Biao leaned forward slightly and said urgently: "Master Yuan, how do you want me to cooperate?"
Lu Xuan walked up to Huang Biao, with a bright smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I need County Magistrate Huang, come with me."
After the words fell, a cold light flashed out from under the brocade box.
Lu Xuan pulled out a dagger and placed it in front of Huang Biao's neck. As long as the dagger moves one inch forward, it will penetrate Huang Biao's neck.
"you you……"
Huang Biao's pupils shrank and he became anxious.
He looked even more shocked that this member of the Yuan family was actually trying to hold him hostage.
What to do?
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "Huang County Magistrate, please cooperate, otherwise I won't mind killing you. But I heard that Huang County Magistrate is very business-minded and has made a lot of money in Hefei, and he just closed the business I am the concubine in the eighteenth room. If you die, you will not be able to enjoy anything."
"Don't be impulsive. I'll cooperate. I'll just cooperate."
Huang Biao stood up and walked out.
His eyes were rolling, thinking about how to escape.
Lu Xuan leaned next to Huang Biao, the dagger moved slightly forward, and came into contact with Huang Biao's neck. The cold touch and slight pain made Huang Biao's scalp numb, and he said quickly: "Don't be impulsive, I will cooperate and I will do my best. Cooperate."
Lu Xuan snorted, holding Huang Biao's left arm with his left hand, looking friendly. The dagger held in his right hand was covered with his sleeve and pressed against Huang Biao's back, saying: "Let's go, follow me out."
Huang Biao quickly said: "Young Master hasn't said anything yet, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Xuan's dagger moved forward.
The dagger stabbed Huang Biao's back, and even though he was separated by a layer of clothes, he still felt the pain. If you use a little more force, it will have to penetrate the body.
Huang Biao didn't dare to ask any more questions and said hurriedly: "Don't move, I'll cooperate."
Lu Xuan took Huang Biao out of the study and went straight to the outside of the county government office. Although he met government officials on the way out, Huang Biao was the county magistrate and no one dared to disturb him. Lu Xuan successfully entered the carriage with Huang Biao and ordered: "Get out of the city!"
drive! !
The soldier driving the car shouted and rode on.
Wheels! Wheels! !
The carriage galloped all the way to Beicheng.
Huang Biao was very nervous. He looked at Lu Xuan and then at the ferocious Zhou Tai in the carriage. His heart sank and his mind was filled with thoughts.
He didn't dare to ask, for fear of angering Lu Xuan, which would be terrible if he was killed.
In a blink of an eye, the carriage left the city. After walking a certain distance, it was far away from the county seat. It stopped halfway and met Zhou Yu who was waiting here.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Gong Jin, Huang Biao has been brought out. We can arrange for someone to notify Ji Ling and ask him to bring food and money to redeem him."
"clear!"
Zhou Yu quickly made arrangements.
After things were arranged, Zhou Yu continued riding out of the city with Lu Xuan. As he walked, he said with a smile: "Lord, our people are all at Erlong Mountain outside Beicheng. How many people do you think Ji Ling will bring this time?"
Lu Xuan replied: "Ji Ling will definitely regard us as bandits when he gets the news. Especially if we ask for a large amount of food and money, Ji Ling will be furious and will definitely lead an army to encircle and suppress us. As for the number of troops, I think the maximum is one thousand people."
"Are you Lu Xuan?"
Huang Biao suddenly spoke.
His eyes were horrified, and he thought of a possibility. The other party called him lord, and he was pretending to be a thief, which was obviously not a real thief.
Where are the official people here in Hefei?
The biggest possibility is Lu Xuan.
This son of Lu Kang personally took the lead in annihilating Sun Ce. He had also been worried about Lu Kang's revenge, so he reminded Ji Ling.
But Ji Ling didn't take it to heart, and now it's really here.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Magistrate Huang is a smart man, but it's a pity that there is no prize for guessing correctly."
Huang Biao's eyes rolled, and he said bewilderedly: "It is almost impossible for Mr. Lu to defeat Ji Ling. Ji Ling is highly skilled in martial arts, and the soldiers under his command are all elite. In addition, even if you scheme against Ji Ling and gain temporary victory, It’s useless.”
"You have captured Hefei, and Yuan Shu will lead his troops to kill him immediately. Moreover, after Sun Ce was defeated, he has already gone to Shouchun, and Yuan Shu will get the news soon. Mr. Lu, just leave. I will pretend that I don't know you. , we haven’t seen it today.”
Lu Xuan sneered and said, "Whether I can defeat Ji Ling is not up to you. If you talk nonsense again, I will send you on your way first."
Gudong!
Huang Biao swallowed his saliva.
He looked in awe and did not dare to say anything more.
Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu quickly headed towards Erlong Mountain.
