In the back garden of a house in Chang'an City, there are still patches of snow on the rockery, and the snow on the ground has completely melted. An old man in his fifties is waving a Qinglong Yanyue Sword in a flash, and the weapon on the side is like a tiger.
There were eighteen kinds of weapons on the shelves and stone locks on the ground. It was obvious at a glance that the owner of the family was from the military.
Lu Zhongda's figure appeared outside the Moon Gate in the back garden. When he saw his father practicing martial arts, he quickly stood far away and did not dare to approach. He waited for Fenyang Hou Luzhen to finish practicing a set of sword skills, then he took the towel from the boy's hand and walked a few steps away.
He stepped forward and said, "Daddy's body is getting stronger and stronger."
Fenyang Hou's face was not red and he was out of breath, but there were some beads of sweat on his forehead. He took the towel and wiped it randomly. Without looking at his second son, he walked to the weapon rack, picked up a piece of white silk and carefully wiped his sword.
, Lu Zhongda could only stand there obediently, motionless.
After wiping for a while, the old man said: "Is the third child back?"
"Back to dad, I haven't found my uncle yet. I have already found out that he is a steward of Yuchiguang's family. He colluded with the gangsters in the world to kidnap the third brother. Yuchiguang has promised to give an explanation within three days..."
"Huh, trash! A group of trash, three battalions of soldiers, plus hundreds of policemen and patrols, but they can't stop a few horse thieves. Are these the soldiers I came from? I think back then I..."
Fenyang Hou spoke a lot eloquently and vented his anger. Lu Zhongda could only listen obediently and did not dare to refute. When the old man got angry enough, he defended: "Actually, it's not that the brothers are incompetent. It's just because His Highness King Qin is here.
Chang'an had to open the city gate, and the thieves may have escaped at that time."
"Oh? The fourth son of the Zhang family has been a vassal since he came here. Why hasn't he spent more than a year in the capital? He came to Chang'an in a hurry. Huh, ignore him. Second son, about your third brother, just keep an eye on Yuchi Guang and ask for people. Shu Bao
If there is any problem, let Yu Chiguang and his whole family die." After that, the old man picked up a fancy gun and started playing with it again. Lu Zhongda asked cautiously: "Dad, the King of Qin is here, do you always want to pay a visit?"
Lu Zhen suddenly stopped, stuck the flower gun on the ground with all her strength, and said with a sneer: "I didn't have him when I conquered the world. Let me go and visit, what a joke!" Lu Zhongda did not dare to say anything and walked out backwards.
…
In Yuchi Mansion, Yuchi Guang looked sad and walked around in the study with his hands behind his back. Yuan Feng and the others were really capable. It was not good to offend anyone, but they offended the Marquis of Fenyang. You must know that this man is fighting for the world together with Jin Shang.
My old brother, this place in Shaanxi makes his feet tremble every time he stamps his feet. Even a powerful family like the Yuchi family does not dare to fight against it.
Several thugs were killed, and the young Marquis was kidnapped. This was a huge crime, but the people in Hongxiu Zhao were allowed to see that it was Zhang Tietou who led them in. This is even more difficult to explain. Lu Zhongda brought more than two hundred
A servant came to the door, but Yu Chiguang did not dare to shirk his responsibility, so he could only say that he was a gangster who was secretly befriended by the subordinates without his own instructions. He asked the Second Master Lu to give him three days' grace and he would definitely find the Third Young Master.
Lu Zhongda was quite satisfied with Yu Chiguang's attitude. The relationship between the Fenyang Hou family and the Yuchi family had always been good. Yuchi Guang was a man who knew current affairs and was definitely not as stupid as deliberately going against the Marquis, so Lu Zhongda let him go.
Ma, brought people back,
Yuchi Guang had already asked Zhang Tietou to go out to take shelter from the wind, and sent other officers to contact Yuan Feng and others. They must find them as soon as possible to ensure Lu Shubao's life. As long as he is alive, it is fine. If he dies, Yuchi's family will have to
Follow and finish.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. Yuchi Guang turned around and said, "Come in!" But it was his daughter Yuchijia who came in. The girl stared with big eyes and said, "Why don't daddy eat? He's cold."
Yuchi Guang waved his hand: "Daddy is not hungry."
"Is daddy unhappy about brother Ye Kai? I know where to find him." Yuchijia blinked and said.
"Oh, Jia'er, please tell me where to find Ye Kai and the others."
"Well, daddy has to go eat first."
"Daddy will eat it soon, please hurry up and tell me."
"Okay, yes..." Yuchijia told Audrey's address. Yuchiguang was shocked when he heard it. Isn't this the opposite of Hong Xiuzhao? No matter how you say it, this can be considered a clue and he can be contacted.
Ye Kai and his group couldn't have done better. He immediately ordered people to be secretly sent to Audrey's residence to find the whereabouts of Yuan Feng and others.
Snowflakes were falling in large numbers, covering up all the traces on the road. In a ruined temple thirty miles outside Chang'an City, Yuan Feng and others were sitting around a fire, and there were two squeaky smokers roasting on the bonfire.
The oily hare was the prey that Yuan Feng shot just now. Lu Shubao was thrown in the corner, and no one paid attention to him. Several tents were set up in the open space in front of the temple, and people dressed as businessmen came in and out.
On the big tree, a pair of vigilant eyes were staring in the direction of Chang'an.
Yuan Feng had already left a backup force. In addition to the group of people who followed Deng Ziming's cavalry into the city, there was also an elite cavalry group disguised as a business brigade outside the city. Their contact information had been set long ago. Even Deng Ziming did not know about this group of people.
existence.
Yuan Feng and the others changed their clothes and hid their weapons in the city. They pretended to be ordinary people and sneaked out of the city gate. They contacted the hidden troops and quickly evacuated to the first stronghold thirty miles away.
"Just kill that kid, it's so troublesome." Zhao Ziqian said.
When Lu Shubao heard the words, he twisted around in anxiety, making a whining sound from his mouth stuffed with rags.
"Don't panic, wait a little longer and see what Master Wen's next instructions are." Yuan Feng winked at Zhao Ziqian and deliberately lowered his voice.
"Oh, then let this kid live a little longer." Zhao Ziqian understood and said viciously. He walked up to Lu Shubao and kicked him twice: "If you move around again, I'll take off one of your legs."
At this time, the rabbit had been roasted, and there was a burst of fragrance. Everyone tore it open and ate it, and then took out the skin bag containing kumiss and drank it. The aroma of wine and meat floated into Lu Shubao's nose, making his mouth water with greed, but he couldn't help it.
If you dare to move, your ear has been cut off. The blood has stopped flowing now, but the pain is severe and your hearing is not very sensitive. However, you can hear the "Master Wen" just now clearly.
After eating and drinking for a while, it gradually became dark. Ye Kai, who had gone to the city to inquire about information, came back. Yuan Feng walked out of the ruined temple and talked to him in the snow.
"What's going on in the city?"
"I just went back to Aunt Li and took a look. Thirteenth Lang and Zhang Ping have taken Ziyuan away. They said they would meet here in three days. They also met people from the Yuchi family. It is said that Fenyang Hou exerted a lot of influence.
Yuchi Guang couldn't stand the pressure anymore and told them not to touch Lu Shubao and to consider everything in a long-term manner." Ye Kai said slowly.
"I see. Judging from today's situation, Fenyang Hou is very powerful. He can even mobilize the army at will. It is understandable that the Yuchi family cannot hold on. For the sake of the family leader, let's let him live for the time being. I have a
You see if it works..." Yuan Feng told his strategy, and Ye Kai couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, okay."
Late at night, the bonfire flickered on and off, and several big men fell asleep. There was a loud snoring, and there was also a whistle. Lu Shubao, who was thrown in the corner, quietly moved his body and approached the bonfire. Half of his body had been penetrated.
Wet with the snow water that came in, it was extremely cold, I was hungry, and the wound on my head hurt. I was extremely embarrassed. I finally managed to get to the fire. I felt a glimmer of warmth. Looking at the flames, Lu Shubao had an idea.
He put his hands tied behind his back to the fire...
Although Lu Shubao was a playboy, he still showed some of his father's good genes in the critical moment. He endured the severe pain and burned the hemp rope on his hands. At the same time, both hands were blistered and painful, but
He didn't dare to make a sound, so he untied his feet, quietly got up and walked towards the temple entrance with his waist bent.
Suddenly, a big man turned over, and Lu Shubao was so frightened that he crouched down quickly. After a while, when there was no movement, he continued to move forward, inch by inch, and moved out of the ruined temple.
It was snowing heavily outside, and no one was guarding it. There were a few horses tied under the hay shed in the distance. Lu Shubao was going to go over and lead one away, but suddenly he heard someone say: "Third brother, go give the horse some night grass." He immediately gave up.
With this thought, he ran wildly and disappeared into the night.
After he ran away, Yuan Feng came out of the darkness, sneered and said, "Let's go too."
Lu Shubao had never suffered such a crime in his whole life. He was running in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The biting cold wind blew through his clothes and the cold snowflakes poured into his neck. He gritted his teeth and walked forward. Fortunately,
You can still identify the direction, otherwise you would really freeze to death outside.
There was a Shaanxi Army garrison outside Chang'an City, and Lu Shubao headed there. He didn't know how long he walked before he finally saw the outline of the military camp. The lights were shining in the snow. Lu Shubao ran forward a few steps and shouted loudly.
Throat, finally fell into the snow.
…
When Lu Shubao woke up, it was already noon the next day. He had medicine on his ears and on his burned hands. He ignored the pain and jumped up and shouted: "Quick, go get the thief!"
By the time the Shaanxi army's cavalry arrived at the ruined temple in the snow, it had already been deserted, leaving nothing but the ashes of a bonfire.
Lu Bodang, the admiral of the Shaanxi army who personally led the team, was walking around outside the ruined temple with a sullen face. This incident made him extremely angry. There were people on the ground in Shaanxi who dared to challenge the Lu family! This is absolutely intolerable.
, although they are only dealing with their unsatisfactory third child, the target behind them must be themselves, their father, and the Lu family!
A man carrying a bundle of firewood passed by nearby. Admiral Lu waved his hand, and his soldiers ran over, captured the farmer, and threw him in front of the admiral.
"Let me ask you, who stayed overnight in this mountain temple yesterday?" Admiral Lu asked kindly.
"They seem to be a group of foreigners, dressed as businessmen and with Gansu accents." Although the farmer was frightened, he could still speak fluently.
"Gansu accent? Are you sure?"
"It's true, I have relatives in Gansu, and it tastes just like this."
