Everyone looked towards the voice.
Lu Yuan looked at the other end, his face full of surprise, and he shouted even louder, "Master, save me!!"
Lu Zhi slowly stepped across the threshold, came here in a hurry, clasped his fists at Gu Xiaotian and said: "Gu Xiaotian, you have broken his arm, but you still hope to give me Lu's face, under the sword Keep people."
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Lu, you seem to have overestimated the Lu family's reputation."
Lu Zhi and Gu Xiaotian didn't have any social relations, so whether they gave him or not, this little face would not affect anything.
On the contrary, the Lu family has now taken the position of King of Western Shu. Killing Lu Yuan is like breaking off Lu Zhi's arm. This is not a loss no matter how you look at it, and there is no need to take Lu Zhi in your eyes. .
There will be a life and death fight sooner or later anyway.
Lu Zhi could not understand this simple truth, but he dared to let Gu Xiaotian retain people under the sword. Naturally, he did not rely on his old face and begged Gu Xiaotian to give him some thin face. On the contrary, he Something comes up.
As for this matter, Lu Zhi was convinced that Gu Xiaotian would definitely be moved.
Lu Zhi said slowly: "Gu Xiaotian, if you really want to kill someone, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you, but I have some things to do. You might as well wait until I finish talking before deciding whether to kill this person or not."
Gu Xiaotian looked at Lu Zhi's old fox face, thought for a moment, slowly put away his sword, stretched out his foot and stepped on Lu Yuan.
Lu Zhi clasped his fists slightly and said, "I have found out the movements of the All-Martial Arts Association."
Gu Xiaotian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he continued to wait for Lu Zhi to continue.
"There are already a large number of people from the All-Martial Arts Association lurking throughout Western Shu, and the military leader taking the lead must be familiar to you."
Lu Zhi looked at Gu Xiaotian and slowly said a name, "Song Bufan."
Gu Xiaotian's eyes darkened slightly and he said in a cold voice: "The head of the Lu family told me this because he thought I could cooperate with the Lu family?".
Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Of course it is an invitation to cooperate. The chaos in Western Shu is only a matter of Western Shu, but the All-Martial Arts Association is an outsider. Shouldn't we join forces to fight against foreign enemies first, and then differentiate ourselves?"
Gu Xiaotian slowly put his feet back and said in a cold tone: "I'm not interested in cooperating with the Lu family."
Lu Zhi watched Gu Xiaotian put his feet back, smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Since you are not interested, I, the Lu family, will naturally not force you. Of course, I would like to thank you for retaining someone under the sword."
Lu Zhi waved his hand and ordered: "Send Lu Yuan back to the house."
The servants immediately carried Lu Yuan out of the lawn and then left the yard.
There were only three people left in the yard.
Lu Zhi walked to Mrs. Sun, who was still half sitting on the ground and covering her arms, and slowly helped her up. He checked Mrs. Sun's injuries again and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Sun. Since our Lu family did this, After becoming the head of the family, Lu Yuan's temper has become a bit erratic. If he offends me, I hope Mrs. Sun will never take it seriously."
Mrs. Sun pushed Lu Zhi away with one palm and said harshly: "The Master of the Lu family is now the king of the entire Western Shu, so I won't bother you to comfort this weak woman like me."
Lu Zhi stood there awkwardly, but soon put on a smile again, "Mrs. Sun's words are serious. No matter what, I will never forget Mrs. Sun's kindness to me."
Mrs. Sun pointed to her broken arm and said angrily: "Is this how you repay my kindness?"
Lu Zhi knew he was in the wrong, so he could only apologize repeatedly.
After saying a lot of good things, Lu Zhi suddenly asked tentatively: "It's just Mrs. Sun, there are some things that Lu has been thinking about for a long time, and I really can't figure out the reason. Could you please trouble Mrs. Sun to give Lu some advice?"
Mrs. Sun sneered again and again.
She knew that Lu Zhi definitely had no good intentions in his heart.
In the end, his tricks didn't push Lu Yuan much higher, it was just his attitude that was more humble.
Gu Xiaotian, who was on the side, quickly stopped in front of Mrs. Sun, put his hand on the scabbard, and said in a rude tone: "Master Lu, if you continue to ask like this, we might as well have a fight. Today How about just dividing life and death?"
When Lu Zhi heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, if Mrs. Sun is not willing to give guidance to Lu, Lu will not force it."
Gu Xiaotian put away a trace of his anger and spread his hands towards the courtyard door, "Since Master Lu doesn't want to, then please."
Lu Zhi sighed and left the courtyard gate reluctantly.
However, he generally understood many of the questions in his mind.
Gu Xiaotian helped Mrs. Sun bandage her broken arm and apologized: "I'm a little late, please don't blame Mrs. Sun."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a broken arm, just take care of it."
Mrs. Sun said with a worried look: "Lu Zhi is a smart man. He has already found out some clues about the Secret Investigation Department, but he has not made it clear. And I think he can roughly guess what happened today, but he just doesn't know. How will he deal with it next?"
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Is it about the cause of Leng Weidong's death?"
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "I'm afraid this matter can no longer be concealed. The Secret Investigation Department must take action."
With that said, Mrs. Sun stood up, came to the yard, and picked a dozen crabapple flowers planted in the yard.
She took the dozen crabapple flowers and handed them to Gu Xiaotian, saying softly: "Excuse me, please do something for me."
Gu Xiaotian took the begonia flower and said, "Mrs. Sun, please speak."
"Place these begonia flowers in every corner of Jinguan City. After three days, go out of Jinguan City and go 20 miles to the west. You will see a large area full of begonia flowers. Just wait there."
With that said, she took off her badge of Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Reconnaissance Department and handed it to Gu Xiaotian, "I now appoint you as the interim Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Reconnaissance Department. I will leave it to you for the rest."
Gu Xiaotian took the badge, put it on his waist, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Mrs. Sun's face was pale, but she still kept a smile, "I'm waiting for the daybreak."
…
…
Lu Zhi returned to the mansion and came to Lu Yuan's room.
Lu Yuan had a broken arm, and his legs and chest were covered with sword marks, but these injuries were nothing at this time. He was seen banging on the bed with all his strength, roaring that he would kill Gu Xiaotian one day.
Lu Zhi walked in, dismissed the servants who were taking care of Lu Yuan, walked to Lu Yuan's bed and sat down, scolding: "Stop yelling!"
Lu Yuan said aggrievedly: "Master, you must make the decision for me. My arm cannot be broken in vain!"
Lu Zhi sighed, "Of course I will take revenge, but not now."
Lu Yuan said reluctantly: "Master, I can't wait for this revenge any longer."
Lu Zhi looked at this concubine, but he was a little angry.
Mr. Lu worked hard to get where he is today, but Lu Yuan always made enemies, which made Lu Zhi actually rub his butt a lot.
Now he can guess the cause of Leng Weidong's death, but Lu Yuan provokes Mrs. Sun like this, which may lead to chaos.
If Lu Yuan hadn't put in a lot of effort and retained the same blood when Nian was lurking, he really wished he could kill Lu Yuan now.
At this time, Lu Yuan was still reluctant to let go, talking endlessly, and even more angrily wanted to drag Mrs. Sun back to be a concubine and play with her.
Lu Zhi's face darkened and he said in a cold tone: "Do you know what kind of character Mrs. Sun is?"
Lu Yuan said: "Isn't she the former sister-in-law and the eldest princess of the current dynasty?"
In Lu Yuan's mind, the fact that an eldest princess could be married off to Western Shu obviously meant that she had little status in the court and was just a chess piece that could be sacrificed at will.
"Not only these, there is also a mysterious existence in the court called the Secret Investigation Department."
"There is a great possibility that Mrs. Sun is the head of the Secret Investigation Department."
"The Secret Investigation Department is extremely mysterious. I have been investigating for a long time before I can get some clues. As for the cause of Leng Weidong's death, I have also made a rough guess. Maybe it was done intentionally by the Secret Investigation Department, and it is more likely that Leng Weidong and the Secret Intelligence Department did it. A cooperation from the detective department."
Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Lu Yuan, I thought you were my concubine, and I would like to give you good advice. If you still want to do this?"
If I just go my own way, I will clean up the house myself without anyone else taking action. "
After speaking, Lu Zhi rolled up his sleeves and left.
…
…
Three days later, according to what Mrs. Sun said, Gu Xiaotian went twenty miles west after leaving the city and saw a place full of begonia flowers.
Suddenly, a flash of sword light came towards Gu Xiaotian.
The sword body exuded a majestic sword energy and extremely strong killing intent.
The owner of this sword seemed to want to kill Gu Xiaotian with one blow.
Gu Xiaotian hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time slowly blew out a breath of sword energy from his mouth, hitting the sword light.
The two met instantly, and there was a bang, causing countless air waves.
What suffered was the place full of crabapple flowers. Countless crabapple flowers were cut up by the roots and lost their luster instantly.
At the same time, a hidden dart was flying towards Gu Xiaotian from another place.
Gu Xiaotian took a closer look and saw some green light on the dark dart.
It seemed to be a poisonous light. Gu Xiaotian did not dare to catch it easily with his hands, and quickly drew his sword to block the hidden dart.
The dark dart fell to the ground, green light dripped on the Begonia flowers, and then spread out. At this moment, countless Begonia flowers withered sadly.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the withered crabapple flowers and was greatly shocked.
Such toxicity is definitely not common in the world.
Just when he was about to let down his guard, some energy came from not far away.
These qi machines are mixed together, but you can feel that each breath is different, some are strong, some are feminine, and some have a hint of softness.
If these qi machines are taken out individually, it may be very easy to deal with them, but if these qi machines are mixed together, it will not be the case.
What kind of qi machine has what kind of cracking method, and the mixed qi machines make those cracking methods seem so useless at this moment, it seems that only one solution is the most correct.
Gu Xiaotian handed out a sword towards the aura, and at the same time, the energy and blood surged in his body, and the sword intention climbed to the top in an instant.
The sword qi spread forward one after another. These sword qi originally gathered together and suddenly spread out. Each sword qi was different.
Just as it happened, these sword energy collided with the mixed aura, and in just a moment, it was like the waves of a lake, causing countless ripples and spreading out in all directions.
The three crises were all passed without any danger, and everything was calm afterwards.
Gu Xiaotian stood there, his eyes scanning everywhere, but he didn't see anyone.
In the whole land of crabapple flowers, he was the only one standing.
After a while, a deliberately lowered voice slowly came out.
"Who are you?"
Gu Xiaotian quickly raised the badge given by Mrs. Sun above his head and said loudly: "I am the temporary commander-in-chief of the Secret Investigation Department!"
No one responded.
Gu Xiaotian held his waist badge high and turned around again.
Suddenly, five figures appeared from the flower field and walked slowly towards Gu Xiaotian.
The five people came to Gu Xiaotian, knelt down and clasped their fists together and said: "The Secret Reconnaissance Department, Xishu Lower Department, has met the temporary commander-in-chief!"
