Chapter XXIII

When Xie Shen, who received the signal, and they rushed over cautiously, Lu Yuan was sitting comfortably on the stones on the side of the road smoking, while Xiao Zhenghua, who was very embarrassed, was burying the bodies of his bandits on the slope. "Load these rifles and bullets into the cart, the one over there is the bandit leader, but he's just my personal attendant now. You don't have to pay too much attention to him, I'll tell you about him later. ”

The students who have always been rude to Lu Yuan can be regarded as an eye-opener, and they can defeat the bandits twice in a row alone, such a person will definitely not be a simple person. When the convoy was on the road again, Xiao Zhenghua also rode a horse and followed Tang Cheng's side, his two shell guns had already belonged to Xie Shen and Huang Dashan, and like Lu Yuan, Xiao Zhenghua also had a rifle stuck upside down next to his saddle.

"You don't have to pay attention to these people, you just need to do what I am told." Lu Yuan took out a pack of cigarettes and threw them to Xiao Zhenghua, and then ignored the other party. Xiao Zhenghua, who took the cigarette, looked at the convoy silently, the people of the Sun family were very easy to distinguish, but the students who were forced to change their clothes, Xiao Zhenghua couldn't see the depth. The dignified old man of Eagle Mountain is so majestic, but now he is forced to be this kid's personal attendant, Xiao Zhenghua's heart is somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhenghua was smoking, but he was sulking in his heart, Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to this, but rode a horse and walked with Xie Shen, who was riding a mule. "Lao Xie, this surnamed Xiao doesn't look like a bandit leader, but he is very familiar with the terrain and situation in this area. Besides, I'm a little worried about those people in the Sun family, it's always a good thing that we have an extra helper here who can make guns. Lu Yuan's voice was very low, and Xie Shen knew that Lu Yuan didn't want to be heard by the people of the Sun family.

But Xiao Zhenghua is a bandit leader after all, Xie Shen is still a little worried in his heart, he is worried that if Lu Yuan has something to leave, it will be difficult to suppress Xiao Zhenghua by himself and Huang Dashan alone. Xu is saw Xie Shen's worry, and Lu Yuan immediately chuckled, "Old Xie, don't worry, once something happens, the person surnamed Xiao will definitely follow me." If he wants to do something, I'll kill him as soon as possible, anyway, you don't have to worry about him. ”

Lu Yuan said so, and Xie Shen didn't say anything more, but Xie Shen was still a little embarrassed that Lu Yuan gave the Sun family all the weapons and ammunition left by the bandits. "Oh, I said Lao Xie, your ancestral home won't be from Shanxi, right? It is said that Shanxi people are old picks, I didn't believe it before, but now I still open my eyes. Lu Yuan, who was on horseback, quipped to Xie Shen. You don't want to think about what good things the bandits can use, I'll be honest with you, the rifling of those rifles is almost smooth. If you take such a rifle back, you can hit a target within 50 meters, which is considered good, and maybe there is a possibility of exploding. ”

Lu Yuan said this well, the rifles used by the two groups of bandits before and after were all old goods, Lu Yuan only had a cursory look at the rifling of the barrels of these rifles, and then dispelled the idea of handing them over to Xie Shen. Xie Shen is just a political cadre, when it comes to marksmanship, even Huang Dashan can't compare, how can he know what rifling is about, seeing that Lu Yuan said seriously, he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, anyway, he and Huang Dashan both used pistols.

When Lu Yuan and Xie Shen were talking quietly at the end of the team, Sun Minghui in the carriage was asking the two female students about Lu Yuan, and it was no secret that Lu Yuan defeated the two gangs of bandits alone in the team, and Sun Minghui, who had never shown up much, had also heard about it. "What is there to talk about that person, we just know that he is the escort who escorted us to Shanxi, and he didn't even tell us his name, but Mr. Xie should know." The female student who was asked by Sun Minghui seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Lu Yuan, and she didn't have much affection in her words.

Sun Minghui laughed secretly, and said in her heart that these students are really simple, in this troubled world, a person who can defeat bandits alone can live longer than a literati who reads poetry and books. I couldn't find out more about Lu Yuan from these two female students, and Sun Minghui didn't feel a pity, but she became more and more interested in Lu Yuan. "Miss, I only heard that the person's surname is Lu, and it is the escort invited by Mr. Xie, after escorting Mr. Xie and these students to Shanxi, the person surnamed Lu will leave."

Sun Debiao is not as rude as he seems, even without the instruction of the eldest lady Sun Minghui, Sun Debiao has already been close to Huang Dashan, and asked Huang Dashan about Lu Yuan's surname. Although he only knows Lu Yuan's surname now, Sun Minghui is satisfied, there is still a long way to go from here to Shanxi, Sun Minghui believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to inquire more news.

"Miss, do you mean that you want to leave this person surnamed Lu in our house?" Sun Debiao is also an old man, how can he not see what his eldest lady has in mind. Although Lu Yuan rescued himself, and even saved his own eldest lady, he served the Sun family's job, and he naturally favored the Sun family when doing things. As for Lu Yuan's life-saving grace, it's a big deal to wait until he arrives in Shanxi, just send some property.

Sun Minghui's mind is not as simple as Sun Debiao thought, the Sun family has been in business for generations, and although the children in the family are good at business, they are lacking in external self-protection ability. In troubled times, strength is respected, this is an eternal truth, although Sun Minghui is a woman, but she has a man's lofty ideals in her bones. Recruiting people to expand the Sun family's original dart team into an escort team was proposed by Sun Minghui, but Sun Debiao's ability is mediocre and useless, if Lu Yuan can stay in the Sun family, Sun Minghui can ensure that the Sun family's escort team can become the strongest armed force in ten miles and eight townships.

Lu Yuan didn't know that Sun Minghui was inquiring about his own affairs, and when he was resting at noon, after listening to Huang Dashan's secret report, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded, and he dared to love his own family and became a sweetheart. "Don't get in the way, if that Sun Debiao comes to you again, you can continue to talk to him. When you ask me again, you just have to say that you don't know, the Sun family is just a business, with me, they don't dare to do anything, you can rest assured. Lu Yuan's words reassured Huang Dashan, but Xiao Zhenghua became worried.

"Sir, although the Sun family is just a businessman, his family has a deep relationship with Shanxi officials. If we offend them, they won't say anything now, but if we go to Shanxi, it's not easy to say. Xiao Zhenghua was forced to follow Lu Yuan, his worry at the moment was not all for Lu Yuan's sake, he was really worried that he would be implicated when the time came, after all, he was a bandit leader.

Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Zhenghua when he heard this, and said seemingly relaxedly, "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go from here to Shanxi, in short, this road will not be very peaceful." If I find out that the people of the Sun family are secretly playing some tricks, I don't mind that the people of the Sun family will die at the hands of bandits, don't you say? Xiao Zhenghua, who heard Lu Yuan's last sentence, was chilled, and said in his heart that you are even more vicious than me, a bandit.

Sun Minghui didn't know that Lu Yuan already had a plan in his heart, and when he was camping in the wild that night, Sun Minghui sent Sun Debiao to find Lu Yuan. "Brother Lu, my Sun Debiao is a rough person and doesn't speak much. But I've heard a saying that a good bird chooses a tree to rest. It will always be a little inconvenient for you to run a single gang alone, and you will always have to marry a wife and start a family in the future, although our Sun family is not a rich family, you can still have the ability to fund Brother Lu's 100 acres of fertile land."

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't speak but lowered his head and pondered, Sun Debiao was happy in his heart and continued, "The eldest lady of my family said that as long as Brother Lu can come to our Sun family, the position of the captain of the escort team is yours Brother Lu." The Sun family's guard team has a scale of 150 people, and the captain's monthly salary is 20 oceans. After Sun Debiao finished what he wanted to say, he waited for Lu Yuan to answer, but Lu Yuan took out a cigarette and lit one and smoked it silently.

After a while, Lu Yuan threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and smiled at Sun Debiao, "Thank you Brother Sun and Miss Sun for your kindness, it's just that I'm used to being alone, and I'm saying that I still have some things to deal with in Tianjin." After escorting Mr. Xie and them to Shanxi, I will return to Tianjin immediately, so I can only say sorry. Trouble Brother Sun to make it clear to the eldest lady that it's not me who is hypocritical, it's really because there are still things waiting for me to go back and deal with in Tianjin. ”

"You said that you have already opened your monthly salary to 20 oceans, but he still refused?" Sun Debiao brought Lu Yuan's original words back and told Sun Minghui, who was silent for a while, and then suddenly sneered. Although the Sun family is not prominent, but Lu Yuan ignores the Sun family so much, Sun Minghui has already made up his mind that after rushing to Shanxi, he will definitely use his official relationship to make Lu Yuan suffer a big loss.

"Miss, this person surnamed Lu is not an ordinary person, if you don't have the confidence to kill him, don't be an enemy of him, otherwise the result is really hard to say." What kind of temperament Sun Minghui is, Sun Debiao doesn't say that he fully understands, but he is also inseparable. Seeing that Sun Minghui wanted to deal with Lu Yuan, Sun Debiao just said what he thought, as for whether Sun Minghui listened, it was not something he could worry about.

Although Sun Debiao said that he did not have the ability to take charge of the escort team, he was an old Jianghu after all, and Sun Minghui was also convinced of Sun Debiao's words just now, but her desire to deal with Lu Yuan could no longer be dispelled. Will the Sun family embarrass themselves, Lu Yuan was already prepared in his heart when he politely rejected Sun Debiao, he believed that he with a full-view map and storage space in hand would definitely not be something that a merchant like the Sun family could deal with.
