Chapter 293 The Fourth Road
Zuo Chen put all the noble sons back.
When these young men saw their families, they all cried for their fathers and mothers, and they couldn’t stop crying.
Of course, there were also a few young masters who looked around and did not find their family members, and they felt a little lost.
A group of nobles left Yaochi Tower, all downcast, like eggplants beaten by frost, wilting.
Zuo Chen stood at the door and greeted each other with a smile.
He looked around and suddenly saw the old man who had just spoken to him looking at him with a complicated face.
The old man seemed to want to say something, but in the end he shut his mouth and walked away.
Zuo Chen shook his head slightly and returned to Yaochi Tower after seeing all the nobles leaving.
The unsuspecting passers-by on the street were shocked when they saw this group of officials. Seeing their virtue, they gathered together and whispered:
"What's going on? The emperor wants to raid their house?"
"King Wei has come to the city in the past two days, I'm afraid it has something to do with this matter."
Hearing the noise of passers-by on the street, the nobles' faces turned slightly. Change.
If it were normal, the nobles would probably scold them and drive away all those who dared to talk nonsense.
If he was in a bad mood, he would catch some gossips and beat them with a cane, so that they would not talk nonsense.
However, today, they had no interest in it and walked away listlessly.
As Zuo Chen said, there were no casualties today.
But now the nobles would rather sacrifice a few people to sacrifice the Taoist priest, and hope that he will stop doing so many things.
“What should we say?”
The third-grade officer who just spoke to Zuo Chen was silent for a few seconds.
He seemed to have made some decision before he said:
"We have a meeting today, and we probably can't come up with anything, so let's go home first."
We stayed silent and dispersed. .
Who doesn’t know what the road ahead will look like.
The eldest young master of the Lu family followed the third-rank official and whispered:
"Grandpa, I was accidentally captured by that dragon today."
"It sounds like you can avoid it if you are careful." The old man shook his head: "At that level, it is not a man-made disaster, but a man-made disaster. It’s a natural disaster.
“Man-made disasters can be prevented by careful calculation, but natural disasters cannot. When a natural disaster comes, you can either beg for luck or simply run away. There is no other choice. "
"What my grandfather said is extremely true. ”
After saying goodbye at the busy intersection, a group of officials dispersed, and the grandfather of the Lu family also returned home with the eldest young master of the Lu family.
As soon as she entered the house, a woman with heavy makeup came out of the courtyard with small steps, followed by two maids who were holding her long skirt, and they trotted all the way.
The three of them were like a team, and they stopped when they rushed in front of the eldest young master of the Lu family.
Eagerly looking at the eldest young master of the Lu family, he breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was not injured.
Looking at the silent old man beside him, he bowed and saluted:
“Father.”
"Let's go into the house first."
Grandpa of the Lu family said.
After everyone entered the house, the grandfather of the Lu family looked at the guard at the door:
"Lock the door and put on the dust sealing talisman. If there is any abnormal movement, immediately put on the diamond evil warding talisman. "
The nurse could hear the seriousness in the Lu family's grandfather's tone and nodded hurriedly.
After a few people left, the nurse immediately closed the door and pressed against the talisman.
I felt that one post was not enough, so I posted two more, then took the killing stick and stared nervously at the door.
The owners walked through the corridor above the man-made lake that was chilly in the spring evening and arrived at the main house of the Lu family.
After waiting at the main house, the Lu family’s grandfather immediately asked the maids to close the doors and windows, and asked the guests to take out red ropes and cover the doors and windows layer by layer.
After doing this, the Lu family’s grandfather took three incense sticks and walked to a hanging painting.
There was a man on the painting, dressed in plain clothes and wearing a high scarf, holding a booklet in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand.
Is the ancestor of the Lu family.
"The ancestors are on top, and my unfilial son, Lu Dexing, please ask my ancestors for protection tonight."
The hanging paintings did not move at all.
After all this was done, the grandfather of the Lu family called the eldest young master of the Lu family and the woman with heavy makeup to come closer.
"Father, you are so alert tonight, but what happened?"
The woman asked, her voice uncontrollably uneasy.
"Today we met with the Taoist priest." The grandfather of the Lu family told the woman and the eldest young master of the Lu family everything, and their eyes widened.
How did the eldest young master of the Lu family know that something like this would happen during the time he was arrested? He couldn't help but feel a little depressed for a while.
“What are your plans?”
"The Taoist priest gave me three options on his face, one is to leave with the family property, the other is to fight with him. The last one is to disperse the family property after I hang myself.
"But If you do this, even if the Lu family exists in Kyoto, it will only be able to survive. "
Both the eldest young master of the Lu family and the woman shook their heads.
They absolutely cannot accept the Lu family's grandfather committing suicide in exchange for the family surviving. They still have to think of other ways.< br>
Grandfather of the Lu family also continued:
"Except for those who are heartless or the nobles who have already been deeply tied to the nobles, no one will choose to fight with such an immortal."
The grandfather of the Lu family said.
"Then let's go? Leave Kyoto?" the woman asked.
“No way.”
“Huh? Grandpa, how do you say this?”
The eldest young master of the Lu family was obviously confused. Why can't we leave now?
"The Taoist priest said he would let us go out of his magnanimity, but is it really that simple?"
Grandfather of the Lu family sighed:
"There are four in total in Kyoto. There are three big states, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou. Li Ji, the powerful king of Youzhou, obviously fully supports Zuo Daochang. Leaving the Youzhou Pass with his family wealth is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Ji is the closest among the previous generation of vassal kings, and his attitude is probably the same as Li Ji's.
"Xuzhou? King Kang was cooked by Ping Tou, which was known to everyone in Liang Dynasty, and the aunt Xuzhou who rescued people in distress was also a disciple of the Taoist priest. Do you think Xuzhou has anything to do with Taoist Zuo? ”
"Hiss..."
The eldest young master of the Lu family just reacted.
Unconsciously, the entire circle around Kyoto was already Zuo Chen's sphere of influence.
He suddenly felt a little shuddering.
This is like a big invisible net that was laid around Kyoto a year ago. Only now has this big net surfaced, encompassing the entire Kyoto.
Seeing the reaction of the eldest young master of the Lu family, the grandfather of the Lu family also sighed:
“It seems that you have also reacted.
“I’m afraid that since the time we came down the mountain, Taoist Master Zuo Chen has made it clear target. He traveled this year probably to meet those vassal kings and bring them under his command. "
The eldest young master of the Lu family shuddered.
But he suddenly remembered something:
"Where is Qingzhou? I heard that the longevity king in Qingzhou seems to have ambitions to conquer the world. Will he..."
"Just two days ago, Taoist Master Zuo Chen returned to Qingzhou. He was in Hui Shan killed Xiao Huanxi's boss and went to Kyoto Pass. Some people said that during this process, he visited Prince Shou's Mansion. Although Prince Shou has not changed much now, I estimate that if he goes to Qingzhou, he will be the same. There is no difference between falling into a trap.”
The eldest young master of the Lu family didn’t know what to say.
In his thoughts, Daoist Zuo had transformed into a huge shadow, covering his shadow over the city.
“Then now there is only one dead end?”
"That's not true." Grandfather of the Lu family shook his head: "In fact, the Taoist priest also gave us a fourth way."
Grandpa of the Lu family paused slightly when he said this.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the red rope tied to the door, at the yellow papers, and at the unresponsive portraits of the Lu family's ancestors.
“What?”
The eldest young master of the Lu family swallowed.
The grandfather of the Lu family said solemnly:
“After I said this, the Lu family has no way to go back on it.
“I have seen nobles’ sedans entering and exiting the palace. I know something about nobles. information. "Grandfather of the Lu family said: "I can take this information to find Master Zuo.
“Surrender!”
……
The concierge of the Lu family stared at the door for a long time.
The moon and stars are sparse, and even though the temperature is getting warmer, the wind is a little cold tonight.
After staring for a long time, the concierge didn't see anything strange, so he couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little.
At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
It is dull, thick, and there is the sound of armors colliding with each other.
The concierge suddenly felt a sense of horror welling up in his heart.
This strange sound only rang three times, and then it became quiet again outside the door, without any sound at all.
The concierge stared at the closed door, his heart pounding.
The duration of the sound was so short that the concierge felt that he might be hearing hallucinations, but in fact nothing abnormal happened.
He swallowed and cautiously approached the door.
He put his hand on the small window of the door.
On weekdays, he would open the small window to see who the visitors were outside. If they were wealthy people wearing rich clothes, he would greet them with a smile; if they were begging in tattered clothes, If they do, they will scold them unceremoniously and finally knock them away with a stick.
Tonight...
What will you see when you open this window?
He stretched out his hand and put it on the small window, exerting a slight force.
The porter put his eyes to the small window and watched.
It was dark outside the window, and there seemed to be nothing.
However, for some reason, the concierge felt an overwhelming cold air overflowing from the small window.
He swallowed subconsciously, and suddenly found that the darkness in front of him was shaking!
No!
This is not night!
This...
This is black armor!
The moment the concierge reacted, it was already too late.
A cold knife poked out directly from the small window, and struck the concierge at the back of the head with a swish.
With a popping sound, the concierge's head was penetrated directly, and the steel knife penetrated from the eye socket to the back of the head.
The concierge's blood splashed onto the yellow paper attached to the door frame. The yellow paper was instantly soaked and dyed blood red.
A silver cold knife reached down from the top of the door crack, like cutting tofu, cutting the door bolt in the middle of the door into two sections. The dark wind blew along the outside of the door, directly cutting the door from the middle. It blew away and hit the wall again, making a loud noise.
Like a thunder in the dark night, it shook the entire Lu family compound.
Outside the door are five tall figures. They are wearing thick black armor, covering their faces so that their appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Stepping in from the door, the black-armored soldier looked around with cold eyes.
It’s like looking at a mass grave in the wild again.
Grandfather of the Lu family, who was in the main hall, slowly closed his mouth and looked in the direction of the door with complicated eyes:
"It is indeed here."
