Chapter 287: Lu Hun's Old Man Comes

Xia Hongsheng and the three brothers of the Li family, rushed out of the military academy on a fast horse, and galloped back to Chang'an all the way. In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, a group of Jinwu guards were surrounding the gate of Xia Hongsheng's house. I saw a few people coming from a distance, and I heard someone shouting somewhere: "Master Hou is back!" Hou Ye is back! ”

The Jinwu guards in front of the mansion dodged away one after another, and Xia Hongsheng and a few people came to turn over and dismount, and immediately someone recognized Li Chengqian and a few people behind Xia Hongsheng, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Let's all get up, why, I heard that someone was making trouble in front of the Hou Mansion?" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "Since you have already come, why don't you take them down?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives your sins! His Royal Highness the Prince, the little ones also rushed over, and the kung fu of the front and rear feet had just surrounded the place, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Hou Ye arrived. The man who led the Jinwu guards hurriedly explained to Li Chengqian.

Xia Hongsheng walked past the Jinwuwei people, and saw an unkempt person sitting on the stone steps in front of his house, with dirty clothes and a horizontal knife beside him, sitting there without moving, and did not seem to pay attention to the Jinwu guards who were holding spears around him in front of him.

"Who are you, and why did you come to my house to make trouble?" Xia Hongsheng looked at him and stepped forward to ask.

"Troublemaker?" The man stood up from the stone steps and said, "I came to the appointment according to the agreement, but the people in your mansion want to expel him, but what does it mean?!" You are a scholar after all, don't you know that words must be believed and deeds must be fruitful? Hmph, you're just a little human ear! I don't care to be with it, but since I have seen you today, I have kept my promise, and I will leave! ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, he heard Li Chengqian shouting behind him: "Bold! Not only is there trouble in front of the Hou Mansion, but also here is a lot of nonsense! Come on, don't take it for me! ”

"Yes!" The Jinwu guards immediately raised their spears in their hands.

"Wait." Xia Hongsheng stopped the Jinwu guards who were about to rush over, and then took a few steps forward, looking at the person carefully.

He has long hair. The beard is also very long, and it looks like it hasn't been taken care of in a long time. There is a long scar on the side of the face near the chin that winds all the way to the top of the neck. The Tang knife was in his hand, but it had no sheath, and it was no longer as lustrous and sharp as it once was. There were many grinding marks on the blade, and many gaps had been made in the blade. No matter how you look at this person, it seems that he has just gone through a very difficult time.

"Are you ......" Xia Hongsheng stared at that person carefully, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and then the more he looked at it, the more he felt as if he had seen it somewhere. Suddenly. Xia Hongsheng's mind suddenly flashed a figure, holding a horizontal knife, and his figure turned and pinched the arm of another person with one hand, and then the person was pressed down.

"It's you!" Xia Hongsheng finally remembered that the person in front of him was not the same time when he followed Yan Shigu to Luoyang City, and when he passed through Lu Hun, he used his amateur knowledge of criminal psychology to help the local people solve a murder case, and then caught the murderer. The ranger who was kidnapped by the murderer and came out to save him!

Think of it. Xia Hongsheng was taken aback, his current depressed appearance was too far from his original high-spirited appearance. With his messy long hair and long beard, Xia Hongsheng didn't recognize him for a while.

"Stand down!" Xia Hongsheng shouted to the surrounding Jinwu guards: "This is Benhou's life-saving benefactor!" ”

Those Jin Wuwei's soldiers listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, looked left and right, and put down the weapons in their hands. Xia Hongsheng stepped forward and bowed, and said, "I haven't been masked for a long time, and Engong is a little far from his previous appearance." I didn't recognize it for a while, but I was rude. The people in the family have never seen Engong, so they dare not let Engong in, which is also their duty, and please don't blame Engong. ”

Everyone was amazed. Xia Hongsheng was also surprised in his heart. At that time, after Lu Hun rescued Xia Hongsheng from the murderer, he was very interested in Xia Hongsheng's knowledge of psychology, and said that he wanted to study with Xia Hongsheng, and also said that he was willing to teach Xia Hongsheng kung fu in exchange. At that time, he said that he had promised others something, and he was looking for Xia Hongsheng when he was done. Xia Hongsheng therefore said that if he wanted to find himself, he would go to the Mingxiang Residence in Luoyang City to find it. Then the man left. Xia Hongsheng thought that he was just saying it, because the person did not leave a name, nor did he say his whereabouts, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and after so much time, he had already forgotten about it.

I never thought he would find it today!

He must have gone to inquire in the Mingxiangju in Luoyang, and the people there told him that he was now in Chang'an, and he had found Chang'an again. Just listened to what he said, as if he had come to fulfill the words he had said in the Lu Hun Inn at that time. This couldn't help but make Xia Hongsheng respect him.

But looking at his depressed appearance, I don't know why. It's not that I can't go on, I heard that Xia Hongsheng is now a Hou Ye, and he came to take refuge. Xia Hongsheng instinctively felt that the person in front of him would not be that kind of person.

This is the first ranger Xia Hongsheng met after crossing into the Tang Dynasty, Xia Hongsheng is unwilling to speculate on him with that kind of dark mind, after all, he grew up reading martial arts novels, and he has a blind longing for the so-called chivalry.

Xia Hongsheng turned around and said a few kind words to Jin Wuwei's people, making it clear that this was a misunderstanding, and the subordinates did not recognize this as his savior. Jin Wuwei's people withdrew, Xia Hongsheng invited the ranger into the mansion, and when he saw that he was embarrassed, he naturally asked the subordinates in the family to immediately wait for Haosheng to take care of him.

"Brother Xia doesn't have to be like this, it's not that Brother Xia pretends not to admit it, then it's a certain rudeness. All I need to do is boil hot water for me to bathe, and I don't need to be served. The ranger rejected Xia Hongsheng's arrangement and said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng naturally complied, and the subordinates of the family led him to take a bath.

Li Chengqian, who had never left, had the opportunity to come over to ask, and Xia Hongsheng told the three of them in detail what had happened in Lu Hun before.

"Just because of that casual word, that person has been coming here to see you?" Li Chengqian and Li Ke were both very suspicious, Li Ke said: "I'm afraid that if you don't cause something wrong, or you won't be able to live, I know that you are now a marquis." So come and ask for a bargain, right? ”

"I don't know. And when he is bathed, come out and listen to what he has to say. Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "At that time, he was in Lu Hun, but he was far from being embarrassed today, he was also a brave and martial arts boy, a handsome man, and his martial arts were extremely high. I don't think it should be such a speculator. However, if he saved my life, I deserve something in return. ”

"Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and Brother Sheng'er still has to be vigilant." Li Chengqian didn't believe this person very much, so he said to Xia Hongsheng: "These rangers are all reckless people in the green forest, and they are difficult to get along. ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "Then Confucianism still messes with the law, isn't it also good and bad?" Nor can it be generalized. But don't worry, can I still be cheated? ”

"That is, it has always been our Hou Ye who deceived others." Li Ke joked with a grin.

It's still early. Li Chengqian and the others were very interested in this sudden appearance of the ranger, and they had only heard of it, but they had never seen the real ranger. So they all stayed and didn't leave.

After the ranger bathed, Xia Hongsheng asked the maid to tie his hair, cut his beard (although he couldn't shave in ancient times, he could trim it), found a family member with a similar body shape to him, found clean clothes to change, and waited for Xia Hongsheng to appear in front of Xia Hongsheng again. It's that chic chivalrous man again.

And Xia Hongsheng had already prepared drinks and side dishes and put them in the gazebo. Invite him to sit inside.

"Since Lu Hun said goodbye that day, Your Excellency has not known where to go, and waited in Luoyang for several days, because of the hindrance of the trip, I had to go to Chang'an first. Speaking of which, His Excellency Lu Hun came and went like the wind that day. But he has not yet left a title. Xia Hongsheng poured liquor into the wine bottle in front of him, and then asked.

"Huh? This wine is very fragrant! Unheard of! The ranger was taken aback when he asked about the wine fragrance, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly his face turned red, and he stretched out his tongue and smashed his mouth: "What a strong wine!" What wine! ”

Dropped the wine bottle. Xia Hongsheng filled it with another cup, and the man drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "But it was an oversight, I only asked Brother Xia's name that day, and forgot to report it to my own." The surname of a certain family is Yi, and the name is Qiulou. That day, in Lu Hun, I listened to Brother Xia's talk in the inn, and I was very moved, so I hurriedly made friends. It was only because he was tracking someone at the time that he couldn't stay, for fear of losing the trace of that person, so he left in a hurry. Now that he was chasing thousands of miles from afar, he finally beheaded that person, and then he came to Luoyang Mingxiangju to find Brother Xia in accordance with Lu Hun's appointment that day, only to learn that Brother Xia had arrived in Chang'an. ”

"What?!" Li Chengqian and the others were taken aback, this ...... After chasing thousands of miles and cutting off people's heads, how can this matter be said so calmly?!

"But I don't know why?" Xia Hongsheng was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked.

The man shook his head, took a sip of the wine bottle, and said, "This has to start from when he passed by Yin Yan. On the same day, when a certain family passed by the wild fox ridge in Yin Rong County, there was a village on the wild fox ridge, which was attacked by flower thieves, and the two women were polluted in three days. A certain family was angry, and promised that the villagers would kill the flower thief to avenge the villagers. It was a multi-party investigation, and when the flower thief tried to attack again, he caught a spot, but the clinker flower thief was two, and one was hacked to death on the spot that night, and the other had good foot strength and took the opportunity to escape. A certain family promised to avenge the villagers, how could they let him run away? It's to track all the way. The thief was also cunning, knowing that a certain family was chasing him, and he went all the way south, in a vain attempt to get a certain family to stop chasing him. Where is a certain family willing to let him go, a month ago, he finally let a certain family catch him up in Shaozhou, cut off his head, and came back and handed it back to the villagers on the Wild Fox Ridge! ”

Xia Hongsheng and Li Chengqian's eyes widened, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Shaozhou, that has already arrived in the jurisdiction of Lingnan Province! (To be continued......)
