Chapter 757: Singing and dancing in the small building
"The Northland is simple and crude, which makes you feel wronged."
In the mansion prepared for him by Heliance, Lu Hanjiang actually saw the courtyard and small building with Jiangnan style. The "simple" in the other person's words obviously meant to take credit.
As the general guarding Liaoyang City, Heliance actually had no less than 30,000 troops under his command. Adding in the soldiers from surrounding ministries who were under his command, the total number exceeded 100,000.
In the Northland, Heliance was considered a real frontier official. He could not say that he could cover the sky with one hand, but he was not far behind. He was still considered a local emperor. Naturally, he could live such a comfortable life in the frontier, so he was indispensable in the court.
support.
The person who supported General Helian in the imperial court was none other than Lord Meng Yuan, the former commander of the Jinyiwei. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the White Armored Army in the North was actually one of the Jinyiwei's supporters.
However, Heliance could see clearly that he was promoted by Meng Yuan, which showed that there was no problem with his loyalty and stance, but embarrassingly, it also showed that he was just the old man's person, and his relationship with the young master was
It's just a big difference.
So this time after receiving the news that the Jin Yiwei was going to launch an operation in the North, Heliance's mind immediately became excited. He was very active in wanting to show off in front of Mr. Lu, so he had this high profile.
meet.
"General, you're welcome."
Lu Hanjiang was quite satisfied with Heliance's arrangements. The other party had heard about his preferences from somewhere, and the layout of the courtyard was all based on his preferences, so he took it into consideration.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang has always accepted all the relationships left by Meng Yuan without hesitation. With his temperament, he has never thought of testing them, so he can be regarded as trustworthy in employing people.
Anyway, he accepted the person's sincerity in accordance with the rules of the court. As for whether the person sincerely surrendered or had ulterior motives, he didn't care.
In general, if these people can be used by him for a day, it will be a profit. If this person betrays him, Lu Hanjiang has no loss of character anyway, and the old man can handle it. In the end, he will be affected and he will easily take these people.
Just destroy it.
And here, Heliance saw Lu Hanjiang fully accepting his surrender, and he finally let go of the stone in his heart. The two commanders of the Jin Yiwei were only high in power, so how could he dare to think of anything else.
At this time, it is the best result for Mr. Lu to recognize him as one of his own.
Heliance took over all Lu Hanjiang's expenses in the North, leaving behind a group of capable domestic servants and beautiful maids. He also allocated 300 soldiers from the military camp to guard them, and then left with satisfaction.
.
Lu Hanjiang visited the mansion under the leadership of his servant. It was indeed very exquisite. It could be seen that a lot of money was spent on furnishing the furniture, and there were many hidden expressions hidden in it.
For example, when Lu Hanjiang was having tea, the steward came and asked if he needed singing and dancing to entertain him. Only then did he know that many of the maids left by Heliance were collected from various places.
Among them were actors, musicians, tea waiters, and even one or two dancing girls who were skilled in martial arts. Their swordsmanship made them weak but very enchanting.
Lu Hanjiang was very satisfied after reading it, and immediately sent someone to bring the Chixiao Sword that he had captured earlier, replacing the dry iron sword in the maid's hand.
The maid was stunned for a long time after taking the Chixiao Sword, and then looked at Lu Hanjiang with some resentment, and then continued to dance the sword obediently under the warning look in the steward's eyes.
The sound of silk and bamboo in the courtyard was long, the fragrance of tea was lingering in the small building, and the dancer on the stage was dripping with sweat. Lu Hanjiang sat below and commented with Cui Yixiao: "Old Cui, what do you think of this sword? I don't think it is an ordinary sword."
, if you take it to the market, it is worth at least one thousand taels of silver."
"Uh, that's what the adults said"
Cui Yixiao smiled awkwardly. He was sitting upright below, his eyes wandering and he didn't know where to put them.
The Red Sky Sword is a real sword for killing people in the world. It is not only sharp, but also quite heavy. Even though the dancing girl has some skills, the soft sword that usually uses sex to entertain people cannot compare with this kind of sharp weapon.
Within a short time, the dancer was already dripping with sweat, her clothes as thin as cicada wings were wet with fragrant sweat, her head was tilted slightly, her beautiful eyes were melancholy, with a thin layer of moisture, this charming look, no matter what
Who can bear it after watching it?
According to current customs, all the women in the backyard are the private property of the owner. If others show any disrespect, it is equivalent to a provocation.
This courtyard has been given to Lu Hanjiang by Heliance, and the maids in this courtyard are naturally the private property of Mr. Lu. Even though Cui Yixiao was aroused in his heart, he did not dare to show any signs of losing his composure.
After a while, the dancer screamed and fell to the ground. The Chixiao sword in her hand also clanged to the ground, the music stopped suddenly, and the steward jumped anxiously below.
The dancing girl said weakly: "Please have mercy, sir. This sword is too heavy and I can't dance."
"Really? Then forget it."
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand casually and asked the steward to take the maids away. He took the Chixiao Sword returned by his servant and threw it to Cui Yixiao.
It was only then that Cui Yixiao vaguely came back to his senses, and he wondered: "It seems that you are teasing that woman on purpose?"
"Well," Lu Hanjiang nodded: "I want to see if she is an assassin. Now it seems that she is not."
The amount of information in these words was so great that Cui Yixiao was stunned for a while and did not react. After a while, he was surprised and said: "Does anyone still dare to assassinate you?!"
The first person Cui Yixiao thought of was Heliance. This mansion and the maid were both left by the other party. If he had ulterior motives, this guy would be the first suspect.
But Cui Yixiao's suspicion was soon dispelled by Lu Hanjiang's words.
Lu Hanjiang laughed and said: "I am now the leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu Shiqi. I committed suicide before. Now there are countless people in the world who want my life. I pretend to be a servant and enter the house as an assassin. This is not
Is it a common trick in the martial arts world?"
Cui Yixiao said helplessly: "My lord, based on my humble opinion, no one in the world has the courage to take action in Liaoyang City. General Helian's reputation is extremely strong in the North. Even if they are bold, they will not seek death, right?"
"
"That's not necessarily true, Lao Cui. You have few opponents in the world with this archery skill, but you still need to practice your ability to catch mice."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and patted Cui Yixiao's shoulder. The Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu, who was belatedly aware of this, immediately stood up and threw away the stone bench he was sitting on with a palm of his hand after being stunned for a moment.
The round stone bench flew straight towards the rockery behind, but halfway, it was blocked by an invisible force.
Cui Yixiao narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly: "You don't know how to live or die, how dare you show up to me by playing tricks under your eyes!"
While speaking, Cui Yixiao dropped the Scarlet Sky Sword, took out the bow and arrows that he carried with him, and flicked the three-star arrows with his fingertips. The arrows, which were as fast as the wind, hit the rockery like a meteor, and immediately caused it to fall apart, and only the arrows were broken into pieces.
Behind him, a white-haired old Taoist priest stood calmly.
