Chapter 18 018【What do you mean】

After Li Chengen, Li Jin and Guo Tai rejoined the fight, the battle outside the house turned irreversibly towards the Warp Weaving Department.

These three people are obviously better than the others, especially Li Chengen, who has a strong figure. Those Beiyan craftsmen simply cannot resist them.

Lu Chen did not participate enthusiastically just because he had just killed one person. Li Chengen and others would obviously not agree and would definitely be distracted by his participation.

Taking advantage of this free time, he carefully observed the martial arts in this world.

It was more powerful than he imagined. Everyone moved around easily and freely. Although it had not yet reached the point where flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people, it had obviously surpassed the stage of using pure brute force.

This made him wake up. Without the blessing of martial arts experience in his body, and only the killing skills he had mastered in his previous life, he should be unable to defeat the Beiyan master.

As their side gained a one-sided advantage, the Yan people had already decided to give up.After finding an opportunity, the sixteen or seventeen people who were still standing quickly withdrew from the battle and then retreated in all directions.

The number of Xuanyi people in the Sutra Weaving Department is too small, and the Lu Family Nursing Home brought by Li Chengen lacks rich experience in battle, so it seems impossible to keep them all.

Just when Lu Chen hesitated, two muffled bangs were heard from the north, and the two fastest Beiyans flew back like kites with broken strings. They were dead when they landed on the ground.

"See your lord!"

Li Jin and Guo Tai took the lead, and all the people in black clothes saluted neatly.

Lu Chen looked up and saw Su Yunqing, wearing a dark purple Warp Weaving Department official uniform, walking towards him. The two people just now should have been killed by him directly, but there was no trace of emotion on his face.

The other Beiyan Xisaku who escaped were also captured or killed on the spot by the subordinates who followed Su Yunqing, and no one escaped successfully.

Su Yunqing first looked at the broken wooden door behind Lu Chen, then turned to look at Li Jin with a slightly cold gaze.

Li Jin lowered his head and eyebrows, and said with a hint of fear: "My lord, just now a fake Yan Xizuo broke into the house. Fortunately, Mr. Lu killed him instead. It's not good for me to protect you, please punish me!"

Lu Chen's lips moved, but in the end he didn't speak.

It's not that he is indifferent by nature, but that in this situation, as an outsider with no foundation, it is really inappropriate for him to rashly interfere in the internal affairs of the Warp Weaving Department.

Su Yunqing said calmly: "I won't do this next time."

Li Jin bowed and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, sir!"

Su Yunqing came to Lu Chen, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You can kill a fake Yan Xizuo, and you can still be calm afterwards. It shows that your ambition is far beyond ordinary people. Lu Chen, you have impressed me again." "

Lu Chen knew that his performance had deviated from that of a 19-year-old young man, so he smiled slightly and said: "The adults are joking, I just haven't come back to my senses yet."

Su Yunqing did not care whether this sentence was true or not, and turned to Li Chengen, who was standing beside him, and said: "Let your nursing home go back, and by the way, tell Yuan Lu that Lu Chen can return home later today, and he doesn't have to worry anymore. ”

Li Chengen was overjoyed, bowed and saluted: "The common people would like to thank Mr. Su on behalf of the family head!"

Su Yunqing nodded and said, "No need to say thank you."

There was no obvious joy on Lu Chen's face, and he said puzzledly: "Sir, can't this junior go back home now?"

"There's no hurry, I'll take you to a few places." Su Yunqing said leisurely, then turned around and took the lead.

Li Jin and Guo Tai walked over, bowed their hands to Lu Chen in unison, and then followed them with smiles.

"Master, this is..." Li Chengen asked in a low voice, with a look of concern on his face.

Lu Chen realized the change in Su Yunqing's attitude towards him, from the initial scrutiny to the later gentleness, and now he was more intimate and appreciative. Even the elites of the Sutra Weaving Department such as Li Jin also paid respect to him.

After suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he said softly: "Your Majesty has your orders, and we must obey them."

Those living Beiyan Xizuosuo were taken to prison, and the injured Xuanyi people had their own doctor come to treat them.

Su Yunqing led more than [-] people out of the warp weaving department's yamen, and then waved to Lu Chen to mount his horse. The two walked almost side by side, followed closely by Li Chengen and everyone in the warp weaving department.

Lu Chen noticed that this was the way to Xicheng.

Su Yunqing said unhurriedly: "Gu Yong needs manpower to keep an eye on him, and manpower is needed to hunt down the fake Yan Xizuo in the city. It is inevitable that the Yamen side will be empty. I couldn't mobilize more people in a hurry, so I had to send I went to your house and asked your father-in-law to send these good people to protect you. Your father-in-law is very kind to you and has almost no reservations."

This can be regarded as an answer to the reason why Li Chengen and the Lu Family Nursing Home appeared, but is it really that simple?

Lu Chen considered it carefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Su Yunqing turned to look at him and said meaningfully: "There is no need to be so cautious."

Lu Chen sighed softly: "This junior has often lamented these days. If he hadn't met an official like Mr. Su who knows everything, he might have been imprisoned and not been able to break free, and the entire Lu family would have been implicated."

Su Yunqing smiled and said calmly: "Actually... your Lu family has passed the danger this time." Lu Chen was slightly startled.

Su Yunqing explained: "Before the fake Yan's killers rushed into the Yamen, there was always a thought lingering in my heart."

Lu Chen said: "Please show me, sir."

Su Yunqing raised his eyes and looked at the rows of shops on the street and the pedestrians avoiding the roadside, and said slowly: "After the fake Yan Xizuo hiding in Taixing Mansion was arrested, Zhang Xi immediately exposed his identity. At first, his tone was very strict, until I let him know They cut off his flesh piece by piece, and after one hundred and nine cuts, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed to the Guangling Lu family."

Lu Chen had heard him talk about this when they first met, but now it sounded like it had a deeper meaning.

As expected, Su Yunqing continued: "It's just that his confession is somewhat interesting. First of all, there is an influential traitor in Huaizhou. Before he died, he mentioned the four words Guangling Lu Family."

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He still remembered that Su Yunqing said that there was a traitor in Huaizhou whose identity was no less than Zhang Xi, and the Lu family was responsible for liaison.

If we go by what Su Yunqing said at this time, doesn't it mean that Lu Tong is the traitor?
At this moment, Lu Chen's smile was slightly forced, and he said: "Master Su, this must be Zhang Xi's excuse to deliberately frame my father."

Su Yunqing did not argue and said with a smile: "Let's assume that he is telling the truth, and everything that follows can be explained with reasonable explanations. After Zhang Xi was exposed, your father was worried that he would not be able to keep the secret, so he teamed up with my subordinate Gu Yong and The other fake people worked carefully and deliberately sold this flaw. The Lu family is suspected, but there are many issues worth discussing. If they can successfully clear their names in the end, isn't it a way to get rid of it once and for all? "

Lu Chen's thoughts flashed through his mind. Although Su Yunqing had shown trust in him before, the current speculation put a lot of pressure on him.

He calmed down and said calmly: "Your Majesty is right, it is indeed possible."

Su Yunqing was not surprised that he was so calm. Lu Chen's performance during this period was enough to prove that he was more mature than his peers.

He said calmly: "Of course, the fake Yan Xisaku is determined to kill you, which can basically clear the suspicion of your father. It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its own children, and my father has always loved your only son, so he will not take it for granted." Your life is on the line. Therefore, you don’t have to worry too much. You should have no worries about this matter.”

Lu Chen knew that there was room for truth in what the other party said, but being able to make the spy chief temporarily suspend his suspicions, even if it was just a public statement, would probably bring relief to the Lu family.

While chatting, everyone came to the middle of a long street. In front of them was the famous Huayue Tower.

There were only a few people walking on the street, and there was a sense of solemnity everywhere. The battle inside the building was coming to an end.

"boom!"

A figure flew out from the second floor and fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Another person jumped down with a knife. He originally wanted to capture the opponent as a living weapon, but the person who fell down stood up with one hand on the ground, showed a dagger with the other hand, and stabbed the opponent in the heart.

The sword flashed, and blood spilled from the corner of the fallen man's mouth, killing him on the spot.

Only then did Lu Chen clearly see that the deceased was dressed as a restaurant waiter.

Su Yunqing, who was reining in his horse and watching quietly, said lightly: "What do you think?"

Lu was silent for a moment, and the life-and-death fight in front of him touched his heart. He said in a slightly low tone: "You will die and I will live, until we die."

Su Yunqing nodded, squinting his eyes slightly and said: "Most of the people left in the building are unimportant marginal characters. The agents who really have certain powers in the Puppet Yan Procuratorate left last night. Of course, my people are already watching. Keeping them alive should be quite fruitful now. Even these marginal characters, we still cannot treat them carelessly, because the two sides have already had a deep hatred."

Lu Chen gradually realized the other party's intention.

From the friendly attitude when they first met, to the pleasant beating just now, to now bringing him to Huayue Tower to watch the fight between the two sides, Su Yunqing obviously wanted to tell him that the fight between Qi Yan was not a show between flowers, but could happen at any time. They may fight for their lives at the sight of blood.

Su Yunqing didn't care about his silence and asked slowly: "You have now seen the ruthlessness of the fake Yan Xizuo, and you should also know the cruelty of the struggle. I wonder if you have the courage to enter the Weaving Department and help me clear out the evil forces in Huaizhou." Demons and monsters?"

The mystery was finally revealed.

For ordinary people, it may be a good thing that someone with Su Yunqing's status actively recruits someone who is a warp weaver with a transcendent status and is feared by everyone.

But Lu Chen can't, at least not now, accept it easily - it's not that he's being pretentious or pretending to be noble, but that he still has many doubts in his heart, and he can't make a decision before meeting Lu Tong.

When he thought of this, Lu Chen lowered his head slightly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am flattered. It's just that the matter is serious and I need to ask my father's opinion."

Su Yunqing seemed to have expected this answer. He looked at Lu Shen's brows quietly and smiled silently.

A burst of rapid hoofbeats came from behind, and then a horse came to Su Yunqing's side. The knight raised his hands respectfully and said: "Your Excellency, thirteen fake Yanxi craftsmen have been captured in the city. In addition, Gu Yong and his cronies are surrounded. Now, He resisted stubbornly in a private house in Dongcheng. In compliance with your order, the internal guards did not take action against him for the time being."

Su Yunqing nodded, and then said to Lu Chen: "Let me go and have a look, and give him a ride by the way."

Although his tone was calm, Lu Chen could hear a hint of sadness.

Muffled thunder rolled from the horizon and penetrated the gloomy sky above, like a continuous mourning sound.
