Lu Hanjiang didn't intend to get involved in Lu Shangshu's internal affairs, so he just bowed and left in a hurry. Lu Shangshu was angry and lecturing behind him, but he couldn't hear clearly even though he was far away.
He vaguely remembered that the girls looked at each other with scary looks. Could it be that Mr. Lu wanted to make him suffer together because he was restless in the back house? Lu Hanjiang thought with malice.
After returning home, looking at Lao Qian who came up to him, Lu Hanjiang asked: "Old Qian, are you married yet?"
From the look on Lao Qian's face, he was obviously surprised by this, but after a while, he smiled leisurely and said: "Old slave's little grandson, considering his age, he should start studying at home this year."
"..."
Lu Hanjiang didn't want to talk, so he waved his hands and went back to the house to change his clothes. He put on the robe of the Sovereign Envoy again. If nothing else, it would inevitably scare the child into tears.
After leaving the door, Bian Guang, who was waiting outside, had already brought in the horses. Behind him, a group of banner officials from hundreds of households were waiting solemnly.
Lu Hanjiang hung the Xingxuan Sword on his waist, mounted the horse, cleared his throat and said, "Let's go."
"yes!"
...
With the clues provided by Yanbo Tower, and the fact that the capital was already the main garrison of the Jinyi Guards, they easily grasped the whereabouts of these people from the Demon Dao.
Except for Yin Zhixie, who is slightly more famous, the others are all little-known minions. Xuantian Sect must have back-ups.
On the one hand, the Jinyiwei set up dragnets in various passages outside the capital, and on the other hand, they hid several teams in the capital, waiting for the Xuantian Sect to show up and die.
What Lu Hanjiang has to do is very simple, which is to increase the fault tolerance rate. Although Meng Yuan does not know the depth of his strength, he can roughly estimate that he alone can fight against several first-class masters.
So his main task tonight is to sit in the rear, wait for the Xuantian Sect's trump card to show up, and then destroy it with the power of thunder.
As night falls, the entire capital is brightly lit. After all, the New Year is approaching, and there are obviously more people walking around. Underneath this lively performance, there is an undercurrent of conflict between forces.
When the glow in the sky completely dissipated, Jin Yiwei's men and horses suddenly launched into action, first aiming at a farm where they were hiding outside the city. Bian Guang took three steps and two steps at a time, and knocked open the wooden door outside the farm. The other brothers either climbed up the wall, or
Climbing up the eaves, sharp crossbow arrows were aimed at the lit thatched cottages.
There are three houses in the farm, one in the front and one on the left. Without saying a word, Bian Guang rushed to the millstone in the courtyard, grabbed the wooden handle with both hands, lowered his body weight, and turned his inner energy into Qi in his palms.
This stone grinding stone lifted up.
Bian Guangda shouted, Shi Mo flew out of his hand and flew straight towards the thatched cottage in the middle. With a loud bang, half of the whole house collapsed. In the next second, five or six figures jumped out from the ruins.
"It's Jin Yiwei!"
Someone shouted, and several people felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Several people also rushed out of the thatched huts on the left and right sides. When Bian Guang saw that they had all come out, he gestured to the Jin Yiwei around him.
The brothers understood and fired continuously with crossbows. These demons were quite capable, and they were able to escape under the rain of arrows.
"There are many Jinyi Guards, let's withdraw first!"
One of them suggested, and was immediately unanimously agreed by the others. There were people from Jin Yiwei on the left and right in front, and they fled towards the rear.
Bian Guang was not in a hurry to chase, but took out his trumpet arrow and shot it into the sky. The strategy of surrounding three and missing one always worked well.
This group of demons are determined not to escape from the clutches of the Jin Yiwei, and there are countless ambushes waiting for them ahead.
This hideout was considered to be captured. After Bian Guang sent someone to deliver the news to Lu Hanjiang, he immediately led his men to another hiding place of this group of people.
On an inconspicuous small slope, Lu Hanjiang was huddled on a nanmu Taishi chair, his whole body wrapped in a thick coat, like a rice dumpling.
It was such a funny scene, but no one dared to laugh even a word. The guards in uniform surrounded Lu Hanjiang three times inside and outside, holding a torch in one hand and resting on the embroidered spring knife at his waist, looking closely at him.
Watch the surroundings closely, not missing any movement.
"Sir, the news came from Deputy Qianhu of Bian Guang that the first target has been conquered." Jiang Xian stood beside Lu Hanjiang and relayed to him the report just given by the flag officer.
"Did Yin Zhixie show up?"
Although he has little interest in things like catching mice, Tian Mingshou is after all a first-class master of magic. Such figures should not be underestimated. Nowadays, the Qianhu in the Bei Division are either busy with things or stationed abroad for defense, and there are too few available manpower.
The loss would be too great if the number of people alone killed him.
"No news yet."
Jiang Xian shook his head and said: "With the ability of Qianhu and Ji Baihu, I think we can take him down."
Bian Guang's strength is only one step away from Qianhu, and Huangfu Xiaoyuan's martial arts can also take a few moves from the sword king. It is not difficult for the two of them to join forces to deal with Yin Zhixie.
The difficulty is that it is easy to defeat him, but extremely troublesome to capture him.
Lu Hanjiang changed his position and lay down, squinted his eyes and thought for a while before turning over and said, "Where are the two deputy Qianhu, Liu Yishou and Ying Wushang, now?"
"We are all on guard in Xiaoxianyuan." Jiang Xian replied.
Xiaoxianyuan, a manor on the edge of the capital that was confiscated by Jinyiwei, was used by Lu Hanjiang to house Shangluo and his two other children.
"Call them all," Lu Hanjiang paused and said, "And you, the three of you will follow Bian Guang. When Yin Zhixie shows up, take him down, no matter whether he lives or lives."
"this......"
Jiang Xian opened his mouth and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, wouldn't this make the rear empty? Don't we need to keep one person beside Miss Shangluo just in case?"
"No need."
Lu Hanjiang touched his chin and said: "The Xuantian Sect has mobilized so many people. If we don't cooperate with them and continue to play their tricks, how can we force them to back up?"
Jiang Xian knew that Lu Hanjiang had already made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said in a deep voice, "Please tell me how to act."
"Where is Qiao Cunsi?" Lu Hanjiang suddenly asked.
"Qiao Xiaoqi should still be in the Yamen." Jiang Xian thought for a while and said.
"Bring him here and put him into my clothes."
After giving instructions to Jiang Xian, Lu Hanjiang called a hundred households and asked him to bring his horse over. Then he said to him: "Shangluo can be watched by the governor of this town. Remember, if there is a fight later,
We must protect Qiao Xiaoqi with all our strength. It doesn’t matter how injured he is, but his life must be saved no matter what.”
The hundred households were shocked after hearing this and said: "Sir, do you mean that these thieves may be coming for you?"
Lu Hanjiang did not explain to him that there was no need to go to the trouble of summoning killers and assassins from Yanbo Tower when there were countless masters of the Xuantian Sect.
Thinking about it this way, Yin Zhixie, whom they regard as their biggest target, may be just a decoy in his own right, and the Xuantian Sect's back-up man may be their own master of the sect.
If you want to make a move to the east and attack the west, both Lu Hanjiang and Shangluo may be targets at this moment.
Shangluo's personal protection is more reliable than anything else. As for letting Qiao Cunsi be the substitute, it is just a casual move. Whether it can be effective depends on the performance of Xuantian Sect tonight.
