After Lin Bi left, Lu Yun heard the cold voice and said, "Princess Bi seems to know too."
Jiang Zhe said with a smile: "It must be Li Lin who is not strict and complained to Princess Bi. It's okay, you can go."
Then Lu Yun heard the sound of someone pushing the door. He was overjoyed. Jiang Zhe was here alone, which was a great opportunity. When he got out, he saw Jiang Zhe sitting there with his back to him, grey-haired in blue clothes, with one hand on the small square table next to him, and the other hand holding a scroll. Lu Yun stepped forward slowly, just as he was about to stab him, for some reason he suddenly saw Jiang Zhe's right hand, tapping his index finger lightly on the table, very leisurely and contented.
A flash of light flashed in his heart, and Lu Yun suddenly dropped the dagger, fell to the ground, and said loudly, "Lu Yun greets the master and is well."
Jiang Zhe's fingers that were tapping the square table suddenly stopped, he turned his head slowly, and said, "Get up, you have worked hard on this journey."
With four eyes facing each other, Lu Yun saw those gentle and calm, yet deep, deep eyes at a glance. He even saw a smile on the lips of the man with star-shaped temples and red face. He just felt relieved. This man clearly knew his whereabouts.
I looked at Lu Yun's ill-fitting clothes, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Shunzi, you can come in."
The door of Shuixie's room opened again, and Xiao Shunzi walked in. The passage of time did not leave any obvious traces on him. His face like ice and snow was no different from seven years ago, but those eyes became deeper and calmer. . He glanced at Lu Yun coldly and said, "Young master, why do you have to show mercy to this boy, he dares to plan to assassinate him, his sin is unforgivable, even if he doesn't want to give him to Mingjian Company, he should give him a taste. The smell of the Golden Needle."
Seeing Lu Yun's embarrassed expression, I smiled and said, "Xiao Shunzi, don't scare him, if it wasn't for you to protect each other with your true spirit, how could he hide in the waterside where General Duan lived for so long? Some martial arts, not to mention Su Hou and Lord Xiao, but General Duan and Princess Bi, who can he hide from anyone's eyes and ears."
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said, "Although he was soaked in cold water for a long time, this kid has heard a lot of secrets. If it weren't for the later events, I don't think he is suitable to hear, and seeing him in a pitiful hurry, he wouldn't go out. The lights let him get away."
Lu Yun looked at Xiao Shunzi in horror. Although he knew that he fell into Jiang Zhe's calculations, he never expected that this man would follow him all the way. People found that those people might kill themselves to silence them. After all, they definitely don't want others to know what they said. He didn't think one of those people was soft-hearted. Thinking of this, he hurriedly thanked this little Shunzi, and Xiao Shunzi accepted it with a smile.
After thanking him, Lu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master, when did you know the purpose of this junior?"
I smiled and said, "Then when did you know that I was setting a trap for you to get in?"
Lu Yun respectfully said: "Junior often listens to my father about the past of the master. My father once said that in the past, the master liked to tease him in his spare time. At first, my father was repeatedly fooled, but later he was able to escape seven or eight times ten times."
I think of the past, that was an unsolved mystery. That kid was obviously very stupid, but I couldn't make fun of him as I wanted. Although I didn't dare to go too far because of my status as Xixi, that kid must have some secrets. , curiosity surged in my heart, I pretended not to care and asked: "Oh, it turns out that your father passed down your secret, but I don't know what flaws I have revealed?"
Naturally, Lu Yun wouldn't betray him at this time, so he said quickly, "Father said, every time you want to make fun of people, if you put your hand on the table, you can't help but tap the book table with your index finger, so as long as you pay attention, you won't be able to help it. Often fooled."
I was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be the case. If I was in the study with Lu Can that day, no wonder I always let this kid escape, or I was too young to hide it. If it is now, it will not be so easy. As for Lu Can This kid Yun found the flaw simply because I didn't take him very seriously today. After my heart was relieved, I smiled and said: "You want to imitate the assassin's assassination, but you are too young. You have revealed your flaws when you first entered Chang'an. Forget all of this, my father and I met twenty years ago, and he was the same age as you at that time. Similar, although you and your father's appearance are only five or six points similar now, but they are exactly the same as when he was young, that is, you approached me as you wished, and I can see your identity just by looking at you. You are the son of Lu Can, Also known as the name of martial arts, Dayong Ming Jian Si and Si Wen Cao have your portraits on file, if it were not for me to cover up for you, but you would not be able to escape the Jinguyuan pass."
Lu Yun bowed his head in shame, but at this moment he knew how naive he was.
I continued to attack him and said: "You are also the son of the general. How can this absurd thing, a child, delusionally assassinate the great minister of the Great Yong, if you fail, you will die of Yongdu, then you have succeeded, won't you provoke the two countries? War, even if your father can cover the sky in Nanchu, he can't keep you safe, do you think Nanchu is willing to fight Dayong now?"
Lu Yun was drenched in cold sweat. At this moment, he realized how big a mistake he had made. If Dayong used this excuse to start a war, he would be a sinner of Nanchu, and his father would be implicated by him.
I sighed: "Do you really think your father is so respectful to me for the sake of personal love? Do you know that my life was almost buried in his hands? Your father just hoped that I could see the old feelings, not When Dayong's iron cavalry went south, it was all about making plans. It's better to keep a bit of friendship than to tear your face. I guessed that you came here to get rid of my master who betrayed your father for your father, and I thought you were young. Sheng, it will cause countless troubles to your father in the future, so I set up a three-fold test. If you can pass, it shows that you still have some strengths, and I will spare you once. If you are really reckless and incompetent, I will fight your father's resentment. , I will also take your life. Your father is walking on thin ice in Nanchu, if you can no longer understand his hardships, why don't you die?"
Lu Yun woke up like a dream, and all the doubts in the past have been answered. The reason why his father was so respectful to the person in front of him was not because of old love, but because of guilt. Thinking of his previous misunderstandings and accusations against his father, he was really remorseful and endured. I couldn't stop crying.
I saw that this young man already knew his mistake, his tone slowed down a lot, and said: "I arranged three tests, the first time was Li Lin, he summoned you in Jingu Garden, if you don't like him, then You are mediocre in martial arts, and you dare to come to assassinate, you are mediocre. It is best to kill, so as not to implicate your father, but you are indeed a young hero, shooting willows with a hundred steps. At your age, your archery skills are already outstanding. , this first test went well for you. The second test is in Linbo Pavilion. I originally wanted to see if you would hurt Rou Lan ruthlessly. If you were so ruthless, Huo Cong would be ordered to do so. I will deal with you, but it is a pity that Rou Lan is my daughter after all. In order to avoid direct conflict with you, she jumped into the water herself, so this second level is barely counted as you. The third level is tonight, if you can’t think of going upstream If you find my bed, even if you lack intelligence, I will also punish you for your sins. Since you have the courage to come to Dayong to assassinate me, if your martial arts, intelligence, and character are unreasonable, I would have no pity to kill you, but you You are lucky, you have passed all three tests, and now that your life is saved, you are finally worthy of being Lu Can's beloved son."
Lu Yun stopped his tears and listened with a flushed face. He couldn't help but be glad that he didn't have time to hurt Rou Lan that day, but another emotion surged up, and he said uneasily: "Master, do they all know my identity?"
I smiled and said, "What's the matter? I don't have the face to meet them. Although I didn't know it at the time, I know it now. Otherwise, why do you think Li Lin was so angry yesterday?"
Lu Yun felt ashamed and sad in his heart. Although he still regarded Rou Lan and others as enemies before today, it was undeniable that he was more fond of Huo Cong, Rou Lan, and even Li Lin and Li Jun. Since today's assassination has completely failed, he will let go of his mind, and he can't help but worry that these people will look down on him. When I saw his expression, I knew what he was thinking, and I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. The reason why I bothered to let a few children lead this trap is to affect Lu Yun's perception, affect his will, and even Lu Can's will, this delicate feeling It may have no effect on national hatred and family hatred, but once it disappears, it often plays a decisive role. I specially gave him a chance to meet Duan Wudi, just hoping to influence the Lu family's choice at the last minute. I don't expect Lu Can to give up on the dark side, just hope that the Lu family's bloodline can be preserved in the end. Of course I won't say this selfishness, I can only do it in a subtle way.
Lu Yun was ashamed and embarrassed. He originally came with hatred, but after he came to Chang'an, he realized that Jiang Zhe might not be as shameless as the legend of Nanchu. If he is that kind of person, why do so many people treat him like that? Respect like that, but there is also admiration in fear, and if Jiang Zhe is really greedy for glory and wealth as rumors say, why can't you see the slightest flaws in Rou Lan and Huo Cong, in fact, he The hatred for Jiang Zhe has long since faded, but he never noticed it. When he was about to assassinate, if it wasn't because he didn't have a strong killing intent in his heart, how could he have noticed Jiang Zhe's small movements.
However, looking at Jiang Zhe's elegant and romantic figure, Lu Yun was unable to express his admiration. After all, this person was an important official of Dayong. He had been by Li Lin's side for many days, and he faintly felt that Dayong might soon be heading south. , At that time, with the vicious means revealed by this man, I was afraid that his father was about to be doomed. With a pain in his heart, Lu Yun suddenly burst into tears again. Jiang Zhe's eyes were blurred, but he couldn't say anything.
I sighed lightly, knowing that he had a conflict in his heart, but each is his own master and the two countries are fighting. I can't do anything about this matter, even Lu Can can't do anything, let alone Lu Yun, a child, stretched out his hand, Xiao Shunzi Immediately I put a jade bottle in my hand, I stepped forward to help Lu Yun, and said, "You are suffering from cold today, if you don't get rid of it, you will have trouble in the future. This bottle of medicine can consolidate your roots and cultivate your vitality. You take it every night. One tablet, you can take it for a month, and you can keep the rest of the medicine by your side. If you are recovering from an injury, it will be beneficial to take this medicine. The day before yesterday, your father sent a family to come to see me. I guessed that you would come to assassinate me, so I sent people to look for you all the way. They are waiting for you in my house. You can go back when you see them. Don't let your father worry about you. You are a child about the war between the two countries. Can't get in."
Lu Yun's heart was relieved. He was not worried that the man in front of him would use him to coerce his father. Although he knew that his father would definitely not give in, someone would definitely use this opportunity to attack his father, not to mention that his father would definitely feel sad and sad. It's not safe to die. Looking up at those loving eyes, he fell into Jiang Zhe's arms and wept.
I hold this young man in my arms, and my heart is filled with emotion. It's not that I can't use his affairs in Chang'an to play my best strategy, but a little selfishness finally made me give up. To be able to save his life, to be able to think of Chang'an and his support.
The next day, Lin Bi left Nanshan Bieye first, and Li Lin naturally followed, but Lu Yun was left by Jiang Zhe's side. He also wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Li Lin, but Li Lin ignored him at all. , and drove away in Lin Bi's car, Lu Yun could only feel lost.
Su Qing and Hu Yanshou left in the second wave. Lu Yun was looking for an opportunity. He really wanted to meet this famous female marquis. When he saw Su Qing, even if he was so young, he couldn't help but be stunned. The snow is even more clear, and the frost is even more beautiful. And the general next to her was a little overshadowed in both appearance and temperament. Lu Yun couldn't help but wonder why Chenghou Suqing chose such a husband. Until he inadvertently saw the picture of Su Qing turning his head and talking to the general, the expression on the man's face was so focused, that was the look of caring for the treasure, and Su Qing's expression was so gentle and calm. Although he didn't quite understand it, Lu Yun knew that only such a man could best protect a woman who had been miserable for half her life.
Lu Yun didn't see Duan Wudi leave, because that afternoon, he followed Jiang Zhe away from Nanshan Bieye and returned to Jiang Zhe's house. Lu Yun saw the family general sent by his father secretly, and was shy and ashamed by the two. The family who watched him grow up gave him a tactful lesson. The next day, his luggage was ready. Before leaving, except for Huo Cong who insisted on sending him to Baqiao, he did not see Rou Lan and He. The figure of Li Lin.
Seeing Lu Yun's hopeful and somewhat guilty look, Huo Cong smiled slightly, folded a willow and handed it to Lu Yun, saying, "Don't mind, they are young and can't help but be more aggressive, in fact, they mainly feel that they are being lied to by you. It's over, so they're not happy, in fact, they don't blame you."
Taking the willow branch, Lu Yun sighed and said, "It's always my fault. Thank you Big Brother Huo for taking care of it these days. I wanted to give back the bow that King Jiajun gave me, but now I can only ask Big Brother Huo. "
After all, Lu Yun handed the bow and arrow that Li Lin gave him that day to Huo Cong, Huo Cong sighed: "Why do you do this, the King of Jia Jun will not be so stingy."
Lu Yun insisted on being authentic: "Please tell the King of Jiajun and the Master of Zhaohua, Lu Yun did not intend to deceive them. After traveling thousands of miles, there may be no time to see each other again. The king's love, Lu Yun has nothing to repay, and can only return the bow and arrow. Lord, please apologize for Lu Yun."
Huo Cong was about to speak when suddenly the smoke billowed in the distance, Huo Cong moved in his heart, turned his head to look, and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, go and tell them yourself."
Lu Yun was shocked and looked up. Isn't it Li Lin and Rou Lan who came on horseback? He was so hot that he almost burst into tears. The two horses stopped outside the pavilion, Li Lin and Rou Lan dismounted from the horses, threw the reins, and both walked to Lu Yun.
Li Lin glanced at the rhinoceros horn bow in Lu Yun's hand, and said viciously: "When will the thing sent by this king be recycled, it's just a broken bow, don't you dare to take it?"
Lu Yun glanced at Li Lin, finally handed the bow and arrow to the family general, and then stepped forward and said: "These days, the Duke of Mengmeng is taking care of him, and Lu Yun has deceived a lot. I also ask the King of the county to forgive him."
Li Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, if someone hadn't helped you, how could this king have been fooled for so long? He glared at Huo Cong. Then he glanced at Lu Yun with some regret, and Li Lin continued: "Why are you the son of General Lu, if it were another person, this king would definitely keep you, and my brother appreciates you quite a bit. What? You know some things even if I don’t tell you, maybe we can meet on the battlefield in the future. If you lose to me, you won’t be able to kill yourself.”
Lu Yun smiled bitterly, how could he not know the current situation, the nobles of Dayong are all gearing up here, but Nan Chu is Wen Tianwuxi, most of them are drunk and dreaming, but he is the eldest son of the Lu family, how can he Submissive, he raised his head and said proudly: "Your Highness is not good enough. Although I am weak in Southern Chu, I still have half of the country. If Dayong's iron cavalry dares to go south, I, Lu Yun, will definitely go into battle. Even if I die, I will not watch the overthrow of the society. "Although Lu Yun is ashamed of the prince's love, but if we meet on the battlefield in the future, there is absolutely no reason to give in."
Li Lin had a mixture of anger and admiration on his face, and was about to say something when Rou Lan rushed forward, pushed Li Lin away, stretched out his right hand, and said with a sly smile: "It's still something that doesn't have a shadow, don't do it. I'm arguing, Lu Yun, the golden ring of the county master has been lost, and after thinking about it, you have chosen it, and now you are going back, and you still haven't returned it to me."
Lu Yun blushed, looking at Li Lin's sudden anger when he heard the words, and Huo Cong's clear smile, he reluctantly took out the golden ring from his arms. Yun Yi was ruthless, and put the golden ring into the slender hand. Rou Lan took the golden ring, and suddenly burst into a smile, this smile made Lu Yun forget where he was, then Rou Lan shoved the golden ring into his hand again and said, "Forget it, it's just a golden ring, I heard that you have a younger sister, she is seven years old this year, you can give her this golden ring for me."
Lu Yun took Jinhuan back and didn't know what to say. At this time, the family member urged: "Master, we still have to hurry."
Lu Yun was shocked, shoved the golden ring into his arms, clasped his fists at the three of them, and said, "Everyone is precious, Lu Yun bids farewell." After saying that, he turned his horse on his body, and did not look at the expressions of the three of them. The horse went away, the wind rang in his ears, Lu Yun only felt that Yingfeng's eyes were blurred for a while, and he held back the sadness in his heart, he said in his heart: "Dad, I'm back, come back and protect the country with you, and die without regrets."
