Jining ignored the shouts of these sergeants and walked straight to the gate of Yu Mansion. Several sergeants quickly drew their swords and stepped forward to stop him. Jining glanced at these sergeants and said to them: "Please tell me that an old friend is visiting!".
When several guard sergeants saw that this person just said that he was an old friend, they asked them to go in and report that the Yugong Mansion was no different from ordinary people's homes. They were about to angrily scold the young man in front of them, but they suddenly felt a pressure from all around them, as if a thousand pounds of weight were squeezing towards him. This pressure almost pushed them to their knees on the ground. After all, they were all sergeants who had experienced life and death. , each sergeant tried his best to stand upright, but the strong pressure still made them pale and unable to speak.
This pressure disappeared in an instant. These sergeants felt the pressure just now and knew that the young man in front of them was no ordinary person, and they immediately did not dare to be arrogant. Then he asked cautiously: "The Yu Mansion has refused visitors recently. If the guests are not invited by the Yu Mansion, the head of the family will not meet him! May I ask your surname, sir, so that I can go in and report!"
Jining thought about which piece of psychic jade pendant to take off and handed it to the sergeant, telling him to just give this to their family master.
Not long after, a young man dressed like a butler came out together with the sergeant who reported, and then Jining followed the butler into the Yu Mansion. After entering, we found that Yu Mansion was not only very large in area, but also very luxuriously built. First of all, we saw a garden with a strange but pleasing layout. Jining felt that the garden should be built according to the layout of Qimen Dunjia. For those who are not familiar with it, the garden should be built according to the layout of Qimen Dunjia. Entering the garden, it is very easy to get lost.
Several cobblestone paths in the garden lead to several well-proportioned courtyards inside, one of which is much larger than the neighboring courtyards.
The housekeeper led Jining towards the largest courtyard. There were actually three entrances in this courtyard. Jining followed the housekeeper through the three doors and entered the inner house of the courtyard, passing through a small courtyard and entering the middle hall.
The front wall of the hall is equipped with a beautifully carved screen door, with a nave and couplets hanging in the middle above it. Below it are mostly long tables with tilted heads, and two large porcelain vases are placed on the tables. There is a large Eight Immortals Square Table in front of the table. The Eight Immortals Square Table is slightly lower than the long table. There are two chairs on each side of the Eight Immortals Square Table. There are several chairs on both sides of the hall below. It seems that this is a place where the Yu family entertains guests or discusses important events.
Sitting on the upper left side of the hall is a middle-aged man with gray beard and hair. Perhaps because he has been worrying too much recently, his face is a little pale and his lips are completely bloodless. The middle-aged man is holding the psychic jade pendant in his hand.
When he saw Jining walking into the living room, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and nodded to Jining. It seemed that Mr. Yu had mentioned Jining to them, and they probably knew the meaning of Jining's arrival, but they didn't know what they meant about Mr. Yu. He didn't take what he said to heart. After all, how could a young man who didn't seem to have much experience in the world help?
This is the eldest son of Mr. Yu, and he is also a very important figure in the Lu State. He only met Jining out of respect for his father. Jining saw that his face was pale and colorless, and there was a yin energy lingering in the Palace of Diseases. It seemed that he would soon become seriously ill.
Jining guessed that it was the recent crisis in the Yu family that made him worry too much and consume his mind too much. Now he has reached his limit. Mr. Yu's eldest son felt a little tired after chatting with Jining, so he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take Jining to the backyard to rest. Jining also saw that Mr. Yu's son was acting perfunctorily, but he didn't care. He was just here to fulfill the agreement he made with Mr. Yu.
So he stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Yu's eldest son, but before leaving, Jining performed a hand trick and attached a spiritual energy to his body. With the nourishment of this spiritual energy, Jining knew that his body was temporarily safe.
When Jining left, Mr. Yu's eldest son looked at Jining's back with a hint of shock in his eyes, because he felt that when the young man turned around, his body suddenly relaxed, and his body, which was originally weak, suddenly became energetic. many.
Jining followed the young housekeeper towards the backyard. After listening to the housekeeper's words, he found out that this man was Yu Qianhua, the eldest son of Mr. Yu's three sons. . It seems that the Yu family is considered a wealthy aristocracy in Luodu City and even in the State of Lu. In addition to the eldest son Yu Qianhua, who is the Minister of Xingbu, the second son Yu Qianfang is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy; the youngest son Yu Qianding is even more impressive. He is the third-line soldier of the Lu State and Ma Anbei. The marshal of the army even took control of the Black Tiger Cavalry, a national weapon of the Lu State.
Perhaps the young butler guessed that Jining's identity was somewhat different, so he told some things about the Yu Mansion, so that Jining knew that Mr. Yu had passed away three years ago. Jining was arranged to live in a remote courtyard in Yu Mansion. Jining lived in the entire courtyard. Jining looked around and felt pretty good.
Jining also observed that everyone in the Yu Mansion should know what was going on. The housekeepers and servants looked worried.
After the young housekeeper left, Jining began to meditate in the room without caring about others.
"Dong dong" The knock on the door in the courtyard woke up Jining. His spiritual sense sensed that the servant of the Yu family was carrying a basket of food. He looked up and saw that the sky was getting dark. Jining opened the door to the courtyard and saw a servant about seventeen or eighteen years old carrying a basket of food. This young man had delicate features and looked very smart. When the young man saw Jining opening the door and carrying Lanzi into the living room and setting out the food, he then said, "The villain's name is Yu An. Master Yu has arranged for the villain to take care of the young master's daily life!".
After hearing this, Jining nodded and said: "I am a Taoist, and I have the habit of not eating after lunch. In addition, I like to be quiet. From now on, you don't need to send food. I only need to send you a pot of water every day. I will do the rest." I’ll talk to you.”
After hearing this, Yu An nodded quickly, put the food away and left.
After Jining returned to the room, he covered the entire Yu Mansion with his spiritual consciousness. After observing everything in the Yu Mansion, he discovered that the Yu Mansion was not as peaceful as he had just seen. There were many secret sentries in various hidden places in the Yu Mansion, which was his courtyard. There are also several secret sentries hidden outside, and all of these secret sentries seem to be highly skilled men.
"Hey" Jining's spiritual sense discovered that Yu Qianhua was in a secret study. In addition to his previous study, there were three other people sitting in the study. The other two of these three people turned out to be the general named Zong Yuan who Jining met at the inn. His associates.
The atmosphere inside seemed very depressing. After a period of silence, Yu Qianhua said solemnly: "The old thief Luo Yue actually silently abandoned the place where Dulong Pass throat is Qingzhou. In this way, Qian Ding was surrounded by the armies of Chu and Zheng. Otherwise, with his modest and cautious character, he would have made preparations in advance, and he would never let the only way to the life and death of Anbei Army fall into the hands of Chu and Zheng’s army so easily! It is too late for other things now. The most important thing now is to ask the Holy One to send reinforcements to support Qianding's army to break out. If the army runs out of food and the reinforcements have not arrived, Qianding and his 100,000-strong army will be completely wiped out. No matter what, I will still do it tomorrow. Face the Saint!"
"Brother, there has been a conflict between the prince and the prince recently, and since my father was the prince's teacher, I'm afraid that the prince will not see you!" Another voice sounded, and Jining guessed that this should be Yu Qianfang, the second son of the Yu family.
"No matter what, I have to go to see the Holy One. If Qian Ding and his army are destroyed, even if nearly a hundred people from our Yu family lose their lives, it will be difficult to quell the Holy One's anger!" Yu Qianhua sighed.
Jining discovered that some of them just thought it was because of the conflict between the princes, but they didn't know that it was the current emperor's intention to cut out the power of Prince Zhaori.
"General Zongyuan, how long do you think Yu Shuai can hold on to Dulong Pass with the help of natural dangers?" Yu Qianhua asked.
"Back to my lord, when the general led his men to break out of the encirclement, Yu Shuai said that the food and grass in Dulong Pass can last for up to half a year! It has been almost two months since I left Dulong Pass. If there are no other accidents, Yu Shuai should be able to hold on for another four months. !" Zong Yuan said.
"Judging from the changes in Qingzhou, there will also be moles in the Anbei army. I'm afraid that the moles will do something! I'm afraid it will be difficult to last four months!" Yu Qianhua said with a solemn face.
The Luodu Imperial City looked particularly strange tonight. As the most authoritative center of the Lu Kingdom, the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial City of Luodu has always been the most awe-inspiring place in the Lu Kingdom. However, today it seems a little strange. In the splendid Jinluan Hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where only Lu Emperor Lu Shang could sit, there are actually two strangers sitting there, and three people are standing respectfully below them. A look of panic on his face. If other people saw such a situation, they would be shocked, because the next three people turned out to be Lu Shang, the current sage of the Lu Kingdom, Yushan Zhenren, the national master, and Yu Chenghai, the national master's junior brother.
Sitting above them was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a plump and beautiful woman. These two people were Zhang Kang and Feng Xue, disciples of the elders of the Qingyun Sect. They were investigating the death of Elder Lin's only son Lin Zhuoshui along the way. The two of them passed by Luodu today and went to the palace to ask about what happened back then.
However, the two people's faces were calm and not angry, which made the next few people feel a little more at ease. Lu Shang explained to these two people in detail about the arrangements for his fourth son, Prince Zhaoyun, to accompany them. After hearing this, the two people did not respond. The words didn't take long to leave.
After the two monks left, the three people below him breathed a sigh of relief!
The faces of Master Yushan and his junior brother were a little ugly, and they were a little dissatisfied with what happened after being invited to Luodu City by Lu Shang. They saw that the two high-level monks did not say hello to Lu Shang after they left, and they left directly.
Lu Shang was the only one left in the Palace of Supreme Harmony. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. I sighed in my heart that I originally wanted my son to join a cultivator from the Qingyun Sect, but in the end, my son died in the Qinling Mountains, and the entire Lu family was almost buried with this cultivator!
I was also a little lucky in my heart. It seemed that these two people had other important matters, so they just casually questioned him and left in a hurry.
