Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six Yu Yu Yu Encounter
"heavy rain."
Lu Hanjiang looked at the gray sky, with raindrops falling from the eaves like beads. He climbed on the window sill to catch a handful of rainwater with his hands, and watched it turn into several water lines and slip through his fingers. The waiting time was always so unbearable.
.
He told Huangfu Ling'er the news that His Highness Seventh Prince and Kong Wen had colluded with outsiders to rob people in Jinyiwei. As for what to do next, that was what the other party had to consider.
Whether he kills someone with a borrowed knife or secretly commits suicide, even if he is as immovable as a mountain, Lu Hanjiang is sure to make a profit this time.
Huangfu Ling'er secretly took action. He killed two birds with one stone. If Huangfu Ling'er couldn't stand it anymore, he would be aggrieved. While taking down a Snow Rakshasa, he could also find an enemy for the princess.
"grown ups."
There were calls of greetings from outside. Bian Guang took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat outside the house, straightened his clothes before walking in and said: "The letter has been delivered. Your Highness Yu seemed to be hesitant. However, Your Highness the Crown Princess asked me to send a message back."
..."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Hanjiang asked without looking back while still fetching water for fun.
Bian Guang hesitated for a while and said: "His Royal Highness said, congratulations on your majesty's favor. Soon you will be the prince-in-law of the court. After becoming a family, it is even more important to have more contacts."
"I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Lu Hanjiang smiled knowingly, straightened up, shook the rain off his hands, turned around and said, "No need to wait any longer, let the brothers take action."
"I accept this order from my humble position," Bian Guang agreed, then asked with a slight worry: "Sir, will His Majesty Seventh Prince really take action?"
"Do you really think he is a fool?" Lu Hanjiang glanced at Bian Guang helplessly.
Bian Guang shrank his neck and asked: "Since you are sure that His Highness Seventh Prince will not take action, why do you still ask everyone to prepare?"
Lu Hanjiang walked to the cabinet nearby, took out an oil-paper umbrella and a set of plain clothes, and said, "The Seventh Highness will not take action, but Gu Zijin will definitely do it. This is her last chance."
"So it turns out that this is the Snow Rakshasa you want to deal with?" Bian Guang suddenly realized.
"I really want to know why she wanted to take Shan Luo away."
Lu Hanjiang changed into plain clothes, held up an oil-paper umbrella, walked out of the Yamen and went to the street.
Bian Guang, who was left behind, immediately summoned the Jinyi guards on duty and ordered the next plan. In fact, it sounds very simple, which is to arrange a group of people to pretend to strengthen the guards of the prison.
Lu Hanjiang's plan was divided into three steps. In the first step, he himself would pass the news to Kong Wen in two days, telling him that the Jinyi Guards had received intelligence that someone was going to kidnap Shangluo, so they decided to transfer the hostages to the imperial prison.
The second step is to wait for Kong Wen and His Majesty the Seventh Prince to tell Gu Zijing the result of their inability to do anything.
Finally, when Gu Zijin received the news, they started to move the hostages from a small village outside the city.
This plan is not complicated and has many loopholes. The key is to catch it off guard, leaving Gu Zijin with no time to think about advance or retreat, so that those who are willing to take the bait can take the bait.
Everyone in the Demonic Way has the consciousness to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, so Lu Hanjiang is not afraid that she will not come.
Compared with the heavily guarded imperial prison, Gu Zijin had already tested the defense force in the small leisure garden outside the city. Lu Hanjiang would naturally send some extra people temporarily as a show.
Since ancient times, the difficulty of attacking a city has been far higher than that of a decisive battle in the plains. Neither the Small Garden nor the Imperial Prison is an easy place to win. Gu Zijin's best chance of winning is to do it while escorting the hostages.
The rain had subsided slightly on the road, but people were still in a hurry. Lu Hanjiang held an umbrella and stopped in front of an old bookstall. Gold mining in the sand was one of his few pleasures.
The owner of this stall was also acquainted with Lu Hanjiang. He had bought some unpopular used books from him several times, and they became familiar with each other over time. He casually rummaged through the books while chatting with the stall owner.
While I was reading a book, there was a commotion from the crowd not far away. The stall owner squatted under the awning. He only glanced at it and then lost interest. He started nagging: "Don't look at it. It's nothing to see. 80% of the time."
It’s another group of young men making a fuss, they can’t bother us.”
Lu Hanjiang picked up a travel journal and flipped through it, casually saying, "I've seen a lot of these bustling things on weekdays."
"No," the stall owner waved his hand and said with boredom, "We are a bunch of idle officials. How can we be a human being? First of all, we have to rely on reincarnation."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and did not answer. The excitement over there came and went as quickly as it came. In a blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a depressed young man who looked embarrassed and unshaven.
It was raining lightly, so the young man just held the folding fan above his head to stop the problem. He stopped a pedestrian on the left to ask a few words, and bowed to a few vendors on the right to ask for advice.
Lu Hanjiang just glanced casually, feeling that the young man seemed familiar until he asked all the way to the second-hand bookstall.
The young man's eyes were full of exhaustion, but he never stopped to rest for a moment. He raised his hand and bowed to Lu Hanjiang: "Brother, I wonder if you have ever seen...Brother Xiao?!"
"Um?"
Lu Hanjiang was stunned. He had indeed taken the name "Xiao Buqi", but that was in Yingtian Mansion.
With this in mind, he raised his head and looked carefully at the extremely excited young man. It took him a long time to recognize who it was. He looked up and down at the man in front of him and said in surprise: "Mr. Yao, what happened to you? Did you meet a bandit? Or was it?
Have you joined the beggar gang?"
This person was none other than Lu Hanjiang. When he was looking for traces of Master Yan in Yingtian Mansion, he met Yao Yuzhi at Mr. Ge's house. He was supposed to be a handsome young man, but now he seemed to be in trouble and looked miserable.
"Brother Xiao, I finally found you." Before Yao Yuzhi could finish his sentence, he tugged on Lu Hanjiang's sleeves and began to cry, as if the aggrieved little wife had finally found someone to talk to.
This move naturally attracted a lot of attention. Even the stall owner looked at the two people with strange eyes. Lu Hanjiang was so embarrassed that he quickly pulled his sleeves away from Yao Yuzhi. He said funnyly: "Young Master Yao is also a great man.
Don't cry and cry, come on, change places first."
Not wanting to cause trouble to the old bookstall owner, Lu Hanjiang led Yao Yuzhi to find a shelter from the rain under an unoccupied eaves, and asked by the way, "Master Yao, what's going on here?"
After calming down, Yao Yuzhi straightened his face in embarrassment. Before he could speak, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, Brother Xiao, I've been searching hard for you for the past few months, and I finally found it today.
You are gone, alas.”
The sighs came one after another, making Lu Hanjiang feel helpless. He asked: "I wonder what Mr. Yao is doing here?"
"It's a long story. Brother Xiao doesn't know, right? Since you failed to break into the machine formation that day, Yun'er also tried it. Unexpectedly, she broke the formation."
Yao Yuzhi said with some regret: "Brother Xiao had already left at that time, and I and Yun'er were persuaded by Mr. Ge in every possible way, so they had no choice but to live in Ge's house temporarily. The old man seemed to be possessed by a demon, dragging Yun'er with him every day.
I went to the machine formation, saying that I would teach her the secret skills of the machine. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and when I wanted to leave, I found that Yun'er had disappeared... It must be something good that Mr. Ge did!"
At the end of the sentence, Yao Yuzhi was gritting his teeth.
