Chapter 277: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Ginger is old and spicy.
The old man was only stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "General, you are drunk." β
Then the old man glanced at his son below, this rabbit cub really dared to say anything. He can be 100% sure that this matter was definitely stabbed out by Jiang Yin.
However, the ambition of this descendant surnamed Lu is also not small. But in the current world, ambition alone is not enough, you must also have the strength to match it.
Lu Bu shook his body and came down, and the old man did not explicitly refuse, which means that there is still hope. A lot of words stop at the point, Old Man Jiang is a smart person, just be able to convey this meaning to him.
At the same time, Lu Bu also knows very well that these family heads are all characters who have experienced the big waves and sands, and they don't have dry goods, even if he says that the sky is bald, it will still be useless.
"I've been bothering for a long time, and it's time for me to go back."
Lu Bu, who came down from the steps, did not go back to sit down, but turned to say goodbye to Jiang Mian.
When the old man learned that Lu Bu was leaving, he didn't seem to have the intention of staying, he summoned the steward waiting outside the door, and said to Lu Bu: "Then the old man is not forced to keep the general, so let the steward send the general out of the house for me." β
Lu Bu nodded, and when he walked to the door of the hall with the steward, he suddenly heard an old voice mixed with anger from behind him: "You leave it for me!" β
Lu Bu thought he was calling him, but when he looked back, he found that Jiang Jian had followed him at some point and wanted to leave together. Old Man Jiang was not allowed, so he stopped talking.
"General, I don't want to stay at home and be a second ancestor who eats and waits for death." Jiang Jian sent a distress signal in his eyes, and whispered to Lu Bu.
He said this directly, the old man would definitely not let him go, if it was changed to Lu Bu's words, it would be a different matter, maybe there would be some hope.
Jiang Jian can have this kind of ambition, of course Lu Bu will fully support it. He turned around and threw his hand to Jiang Mian to discuss: "Originally, I was an outsider in the Jiang family's family affairs, so I shouldn't be involved, but since Zhong Yi thinks that a good man has ambitions in all directions, the head of the family should also support it." This is a certain humble opinion, and I ask the head of the Jiang family to consider one or two. β
Jiang Mian's face was slightly unhappy when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said: "This matter is decided, General Lu should go back to bed early." β
Lu Bu said 'goodbye' and walked out the door, Jiang Jian still followed behind, without any hesitation.
Seeing this, the old man was so angry that he smashed the cane in his hand to the ground two or three times, regardless of whether outsiders were present, he immediately roared angrily: "Rebel, if you dare to walk out of this door today, I will break your legs!" β
"Father, you have nurtured me, and it stands to reason that I should serve you with filial piety. But I don't want to be your pawn, I have my own life I want to live. β
Jiang Jian said his inner thoughts heartily, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to his father, and under Jiang Mian's angry eyes, he got up and raised his legs and stepped out of the threshold.
"Take this rebel down for me!"
With the old man's order, the guards in the No. 50 and Sixty Mansion surrounded them and formed a semicircle, blocking Lu Bu and Jiang Jian at the door.
The palace guards were about to step forward, but Lu Bu stretched out his left arm and opened it, stopping these palace guards who were holding Qi Mei sticks in their hands.
"General Lu, do you want to take care of my family affairs?" The old man who got up from his position spoke in a displeased tone, his eyelids were lowered, and a little chill was added to his words.
Lu Bu shook his head slightly, "That's not it, it's just that Zhong Yi is my soldier." If I brought it out, it should be brought back by me. β
When he saw Lu Bu shaking his head, there was a moment of relaxation on the old man's face. However, when he listened to the rest of the words, anger appeared on his weather-covered old face again.
"This is an old family matter, if the general insists on interfering, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
Jiang Mian let out cruel words, and when he saw that Lu Bu was still indifferent, and even began to move forward step by step, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!" β
Even if he accidentally injured Lu Bu and made trouble with the county guard, he relied on the word 'reason'.
Ooh!
All the palace guards roared in unison, pressed down the sticks in their hands, and put them in front of Lu Bu. As long as this young general takes one step further, he will not blame them for being polite.
Facing the blockade of dozens of government guards, Lu Bu just squinted.
One in one, one in one.
However, when he opened his eyes again, the momentum exuded by the whole person became completely different from Fang Cai. If Lu Bu, who was drunk just now, was like a lazy and resting beast, then at this moment, he is even more like a majestic mountain, which is admirable.
The guards in front of them swallowed their saliva hard, the bright moon in the sky penetrated into the clouds at some point, the darkness invaded, the torches in their hands jumped, there were no insects and birds, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
Under the tense and oppressive atmosphere, everyone can hear the sound of their own heart beating.
Lu Bu, who was in good spirits, had completely crushed these guards from the momentum alone.
This kind of fierce general, who has killed hundreds of enemies on the battlefield, is as fierce as a blade with just one projected look.
Lu Bu looked back, the curvature of the corners of his mouth and the smile on his face were full of strong conceit and pride: "It's not Lu Moutuo, I'm leaving, and no one can stop me yet." Just relying on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in your mansion to try to stop me, it is too naΓ―ve. β
As he spoke, Lu Bu raised his feet and took a step forward idly, and the guards who stopped him not only did not step forward to make a move, but even took a step back unconsciously.
Jiang Mian had heard his son talk about the means of this 'flying general', which was a fierce existence that dared to ride alone and charge six thousand horses. If it weren't for what his son said himself, he wouldn't have believed that there would be such a powerful figure like a ghost in the world.
Thinking of this, the old man waved his hand weakly and motioned for the servants of the palace guards who were blocking the road to retreat.
When the guards heard the order, most of their tense nerves loosened and bowed back.
The blockade retreated, and Lu Bu also saved the trouble of doing it, after all, he didn't want to make trouble with the Jiang family to the point of tearing his face.
As the old saying goes: leave a line in your work, and see each other in the future.
Lu Bu felt that this sentence still had a certain amount of truth.
Watching the two of them walk out, the old master sat in his seat and sighed faintly.
In the middle of the hall, a burly man walked out, and with a questioning tone, he asked, "Why is the head of the Jiang family sighing?" And the one surnamed Lu, what did he say in front of you? β
His current position as an external person is the confidant and retinue of the head of the family.
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to give Zhong'er more choices." The old man sighed and said, as if he was sorry for his son's running away from home.
"In the end, it's a grown baby, and there's nothing to regret if you can't keep it." The man didn't do much research into this, and he thought that this old thing surnamed Jiang would not dare to lie to him.
Later, as if he had thought of something, he burst out laughing: "But then again, I really have to thank your silly son." He didn't want to marry Miss Dong, and let me pick up such a big bargain for nothing, it's really stupid, hahaha......"
The latter sentence pierces the heart.
