"Da Da Da-" Outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, the sound of neat horses' hooves suddenly came to mind, and the 1,000 patrols led by Wang Dasheng had arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion compound......

The lights were bright outside, and the sound of horses' hooves was so loud that even Xiao Tian, who was in the backyard, could hear it...... Xiao Tian listened to the sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, stood on the threshold with his back against him, holding the plum blossom sword in his hand, ready to unsheath at any time.

Su Jia was still lying quietly on the bed, not knowing what was happening outside......

At the entrance of the Lu Mansion, Wang Dasheng stood at the front. Looking at the gate of the Lu Mansion compound, Wang Dasheng smiled softly, and then prepared to step forward and knock on the door.

"Squeak-" Suddenly, just when Wang Dasheng wanted to knock on the door, the door of the Lu Mansion opened by itself. Someone came out inside, and when the soldiers outside the door saw it, they raised their swords to parry it in case of accidents.

Wang Dasheng was also a little nervous at first, because his martial arts were the same as Su Jia's, they had reached the point of exhaustion, if he came out of the door at this time was a martial arts master, even if there were a thousand soldiers and horses behind him, he who stood at the front might die.

But the person who came out seemed to reassure Wang Dasheng...... I saw a woman in red and black slowly walking out of the courtyard gate - it was Lu Jing, and she was the only one.

Wang Dasheng recognized that she was the eldest lady of the Lu family, and when Lu Jing saw it, it was really Wang Dasheng, and she couldn't help but be shocked - she didn't know that Wang Dasheng was too tired to use martial arts at this time.

Lu Jing settled down, thinking that the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion would never dare to easily offend the Lu family, who had been using assets to fund the Bianliang City Mansion. And now she is coming out alone, and she doesn't want her parents to know about it, although it is very risky.

Wang Dasheng couldn't use martial arts for the time being, but he still put on that cold face. Lu Jing was not too frightened, after all, she had seen a lot of people, and in the afternoon, she saw Wang Dasheng's cruelty with her own eyes, she still asked very calmly: "It turned out to be General Wang, why did you come to my Lu Mansion for what you wanted?"

Seeing Lu Jing so indifferent, Wang Dasheng was suspicious again, so he asked rhetorically: "I haven't knocked on the door yet, how did the eldest lady of the Lu family know that we would come?"

Lu Jing was worried that Wang Dasheng would think that Su Jia had fled to the Lu Mansion, so he expected that they would come, so that they would forcibly search the mansion, after all, they were still from the Prime Minister's Mansion and had the greatest authority in Bianliang City. Lu Jing thought for a moment, and then said, "What is General Wang talking about? In the middle of the night, the army has undergone plastic surgery, and it can be heard from a few miles away. With my head resting on the bed, I could hear the iron hooves of the soldiers for dozens of miles, and I couldn't sleep, of course I had to come out to see the situation. ”

Wang Dasheng really wanted to go in and see the situation inside, but he didn't have any evidence, and his martial arts couldn't be used for the time being, if you really hid any masters, you might not be able to deal with it. Of course, Lu Jing herself didn't know that Wang Dasheng, who had a cold face, was tired at this time, and she was now thinking about how to use words to take Wang Dasheng away.

Wang Dasheng seemed to be hesitating whether to go in, and at this time, a patrol soldier who seemed to know Wang Dasheng's current situation came over, leaned into his ear and said: "General Wang, please think twice, I heard that there is a person in the Lu Mansion who claims to be the heir of the Tang family, and his marksmanship is ......."

"It's really fake, didn't I hear that the Tang family was destroyed by his fellow disciple Tang Tianhui seventeen years ago...... Wang Dasheng said softly, "Even if it's true, we can't care about it, the one who advocated the destruction of the Tang Sect back then was the King of Chatai in Dadu, let's not meddle...... But if there is really a master here...... "Their voices were very small, and Lu Jing on the opposite side didn't hear them.

But the patrol soldier still guessed that Tang Zhan was indeed in the Lu Mansion. And what he didn't expect was that Tang Zhan was standing on the side of the gate of the Lu Mansion at this time, and once something happened to Lu Jing, Tang Zhan would come out to deal with it as soon as possible.

Tang Zhan hid on the side of the door, and even Wang Dasheng didn't notice it—I'm afraid this was also arranged by Lu Jing. Tang Zhan held the pear flower gun tightly in both hands, his eyes kept looking sideways at Lu Jing's back, the whole person was nervous, and in the absence of any activity, Tang Zhan's head was already oozing a little sweat......

Wang Dasheng thought about it, he couldn't just say so much nonsense to Lu Jing and waste his time. So, Wang Dasheng said directly: "There are thieves who are making trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the lieutenant has an order to send him to search for the suspect!"

Wang Dasheng's words, like his martial arts, were terrifying. But Lu Jing didn't show a frightened look, but said calmly: "Something happened to your Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you doing in my Lu Mansion? This place is so far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you search this place?"

Wang Dasheng ignored Lu Jing's troubles, and still said coldly: "The thieves are fleeing to the south, and the south of the city is the largest in the Lu Mansion, so of course this is the first place to be searched!"

Lu Jing saw Wang Dasheng's unreasonable momentum, but she didn't dare to do anything with him. But Su Jia is in the mansion now, if they are really let in, not only will their father and mother be implicated, but Su Jia who has fainted will be in danger. Lu Jing paused for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Hmph, how strict I am when I am the prime minister, it turns out that it is just like this...... He was turned upside down by a thief in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hundreds of elite soldiers couldn't surround him. Our Lu Mansion can't even fit any of you, let alone dare to harbor fugitives. But you claim to be a master in Bianliang, and you can't even catch a thief, but you are angry with us civilians, making things difficult for us, and what kind of face do you have when you say it?"

Lu Jing's words are indeed quite powerful, and the soldiers below are all shameless. If you pay attention to dignity and face, you may return to the court.

However, Wang Dasheng does not care whether he is dignified or not, and he has always acted ruthlessly-Lu Jing is also clear about this...... Suddenly, Wang Dasheng pulled out his Miao knife from his waist, and said to Lu Jing in a cold and slightly murderous tone: "Hmph, you are just the eldest lady of the Lu family, what if we wait like this? No matter how rich and powerful it is, it is nothing in the eyes of the Prime Minister...... As long as the Prime Minister's Mansion has the military power in hand, whoever you want to kill is the same, no matter who you are......" Saying that, Wang Dasheng seemed to want to slowly walk towards Lu Jing.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jing was shocked into a cold sweat from the bottom of her heart. But in the face of such a grim scene, she still didn't seem to show a trace of fear on the surface.

And Tang Zhan hid behind the door, naturally he also heard Wang Dasheng's words, and his heart suddenly became nervous, for fear that Lu Jing would really encounter an accident for a while. However, Lu Jing had said before that Tang Zhan could only come out to act after Lu Jing gave the order. Seeing Wang Dasheng approaching step by step, Lu Jing didn't make any gestures to let Tang Zhan out, Tang Zhan became even more anxious in his heart, and the sweat in his hand was already flowing out along the barrel of the gun.

Wang Dasheng's steps were getting closer and closer, and the hand holding the Miao knife was gradually raised, it seemed that he really dared to do anything. Lu Jing watched Wang Dasheng get closer and closer to him, but he still didn't make any gestures for Tang Zhan to come out, but he just stared at Wang Dasheng with his eyes, not showing the slightest fear. In fact, Lu Jing's heart was already extremely nervous at this time......

Wang Dasheng is getting closer and closer, and the murderous aura is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that in just a moment, Wang Dasheng can kill Lu Jing, and at this moment, time seems to be frozen......

"That'...... Have you ever thought about Captain Bianliang?" Lu Jing suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Dasheng's footsteps stopped, and the hand holding the Miao knife gradually relaxed...... Listening to Wang Dasheng's footsteps stopped, Tang Zhan's hanging heart was half over......

"What?" Wang Dasheng asked softly in a cold voice.

Lu Jing did not change the gaze and serious expression that she had always maintained, and said coldly: "It's Bianliang Duwei Wang Gubu Zatai...... If you dare to kill people at will in a rich family like Lu Mansion, not to mention that the Prime Minister's Mansion is unknown, even the martial arts people who have always been close to Lu Mansion will not agree. If I had killed one of them and angered the martial arts warriors who had come to attend the kendo conference, wouldn't Bianliang City be turned upside down? Now the Mengyuan Dynasty was already troubled, and there were wars everywhere. It is rare to have a prosperous and stable Bianliang, with its Yulu court, to ensure that the food and salary in various places are sufficient. If there is a great chaos in Bianliang, food and salaries are blocked, the war is tight, and the court is in turmoil, the consequences should be conceivable...... My life is not enough, the lifeblood branch of the entire Mengyuan Imperial Court is in the hands of your Prime Minister......" As she spoke, Lu Jing looked directly at Wang Dasheng's cold eyes with firm and fearless eyes.

After Wang Dasheng stopped, there was no movement. Now after listening to Lu Jing's words, Wang Dasheng is even more silent...... Wang Dasheng still maintained those eyes that made people look frightened, staring at Lu Jing, although Lu Jing was scared in his heart, but the whole person behaved calmly, and his eyes were full of confidence and determination......

The two looked at each other for a long time, but Tang Zhan, who was hiding behind the door, never completely relaxed......

The night was deep, and the bleak moonlight was much brighter at this time, but the hazy murderous aura had been wrapping around and refused to fade......

The two still looked at each other...... "Hmph, you are interested...... Wang Dasheng finally spoke first, "I won't search your Lu Mansion today...... Let's go!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jing's heart that could be mentioned in her throat fell, but Wang Dasheng hadn't left after all, and her whole person still maintained that expression, watching Wang Dasheng and the patrol soldiers leave...... Tang Zhan behind the door heard this, and his heart fell halfway again, but he still didn't dare to put down the pear flower gun in his hand immediately, and his eyes still looked at Lu Jing's side intently......

Wang Dasheng walked down the steps and withdrew the Miao knife. Suddenly, he turned his head again and said, "Hmph, if I don't search your Lu Mansion, it doesn't mean that we have collected troops...... Tomorrow is the first day of the kendo tournament, and the security in the city will be even tighter. If we don't catch that thief, we won't give up!"

"That's your prime minister's business......" Lu Jing only said simply, but her serious expression remained the same.

When Wang Dasheng saw this, he smiled lightly on his cold face, and then slowly left with his patrolmen......

Lu Jing kept looking at the route of the patrol's departure, and it was not until the firelight completely disappeared into the night that Lu Jing was completely relaxed......

"It's time to come out, stupid ......" Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

Tang Zhan couldn't hold back any longer, as soon as he heard Lu Jing's shout, Tang Zhan hurriedly ran out from the side of the door and hurriedly asked, "Jing'er, are you okay?"

Lu Jing's eyes lowered, took a few breaths, and then said slowly: "Hey, scared me to death, it was really too dangerous just now...... I'm fine, idiot. ”

Tang Zhan looked at Lu Jing's relaxed expression, and knew that the danger had been lifted. Thinking that his life was hanging by a thread just now, Tang Zhan said again: "Jing'er, you were too risky just now......

"I just wanted to gamble, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous......" Lu Jing wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then lowered her eyes and said: "It's really scary, Wang Dasheng's eyes, I have never done such a dangerous thing...... Fortunately, it's all over. ”

Tang Zhan thought for a while, and then asked, "Just now Wang Dasheng said that their whole city will be more heavily guarded, Miss Su, she is like that...... It doesn't matter, right?"

"It's okay, Sister Su, she is wearing a night clothes, Wang Dasheng he didn't even recognize whether it was a man or a woman, tomorrow Wang Dasheng won't recognize it......" Lu Jing calmed down, then looked back in the direction of the backyard and said, "It's Sister Su herself, she is already very tired today, and this happened to Brother Xiao, no matter what, she must rest now, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow......"

Tang Zhan nodded, thinking about the kendo conference that will start tomorrow, Tang Zhan said again: "Tomorrow is the kendo conference, and Brother Xiao and Miss Su will also go at that time...... But the Zichuan brothers don't know where to go, and after the separation of Middle Street, there is no news at all......"

"Zhao Zichuan's big stupid guy shouldn't really get involved in some incident with that Yangzhou 'Hibiscus Woman', right?" Lu Jing shook her head and whispered to Tang Zhan, "No matter what, that stupid guy will definitely go to the kendo conference tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will naturally see him." ”

"Okay, I'm a little sleepy......" Tang Zhan withdrew the pear flower gun in his hand and said in a daze.

"Yes, we have encountered so many things today, and we are tired enough......" Lu Jing also said sleepily, "Let's go to sleep first, and we will discuss something tomorrow......"

So, Lu Jing yawned slightly, and then followed Tang Zhan back to the backyard......

"Are they leaving?" Xiao Tian, who had always been relieved, saw Tang Zhan and Lu Jing who had returned, and hurriedly asked, "I heard the sound of horses' hooves leaving......

"They're gone......" Lu Jing said slightly, "Anyway, everything can be assured, wait until Sister Su wakes up tomorrow, and then you can tell her the truth......"

"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian muttered.

"I'm going to go to the place of the kendo conference tomorrow, Brother Xiao, you go back to your room and sleep first......" Lu Jing said again.

"I'm going to accompany Jia'er...... Xiao Tian suddenly said softly, "She has encountered so many dangers today, it's because I didn't take care of her...... So, I'm going to take care of her here tonight......"

Looking at Xiao Tian's confused eyes, listening to his slightly self-reproachful tone, Lu Jing couldn't say anything more, so she responded softly: "Okay, Brother Xiao, you take care of Sister Su here......"

So, Lu Jing looked at Su Jia who was lying peacefully on the bed, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she turned her head and walked back to the room slowly......

Although Xiao Tian knew that the danger was temporarily lifted, he still didn't want to rest. He first looked at Su Jia who was lying on the bed, and then looked at the plum blossom sword in his hand that had not been withdrawn, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart......

Tonight, the moon is cold, and I glance at the dark clouds and my thoughts are chaotic. I hate to love a few days later, and the curtain is joyless all night......

A long sleepless night passed......

Su Jia slowly opened her eyes, and a glimmer of light appeared in front of her. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, but didn't get up immediately. Her head was a little dizzy and she didn't seem to be fully awake.

Suddenly, Su Jia sat up from the bed abruptly—she suddenly remembered what had happened last night. "Ah Tian-" Su Jia couldn't help but scream, and after looking around, he found that Xiao Tian was lying on the table-he had been taking care of Su Jia yesterday, and Zuihou was still so tired that he fell asleep on the table.

Faintly, Su Jia heard Xiao Tian's slight snoring, and knew that Xiao Tian was just tired and fell asleep, so he put his mind at ease. Su Jia looked down again, and found that she was covered with a thicker layer of quilt, and there was still water next to the bed that had been cold all night, and she didn't realize that her eyes were lowered, and she murmured in a low voice: "Ah Tian......"

I don't know if it was the shout just now, or a sudden flash of inspiration, Xiao Tian's whole body shook on the table, then shook his head, opened his confused eyes, and then slowly got up from the table - he slept too deeply, and even the knife marks on the left side of his face appeared red marks.

"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian first saw a hazy figure, and then gradually widened his eyes, Su Jia's figure gradually became clear, it was indeed Su Jia who woke up, so he immediately sobered up and said, "Jia...... Jia'er, are you awake?"

"Ah Tian, what ...... I did yesterday" Su Jia couldn't help asking.

Xiao Tian's eyes were sluggish for a moment, and then he slowly sat down beside Su Jia and told her almost everything that happened after she fainted yesterday.

After Su Jia heard this, she was also not surprised. But thinking of the words he said to Xiao Tian before going to Lu Mansion yesterday, and the kiss on Xiao Tian's forehead - Xiao Tian was awake at that time, so he knew - Su Jia blushed unconsciously and glanced over.

Xiao Tian seemed to see Su Jia's thoughts, so he responded softly: "Jia'er, I ......"

Xiao Tian just wanted to say something, but Su Jia stopped in front of Xiao Tian's mouth with one hand. She blushed a little, her eyes flickered, and then she said slowly, "I know, you are for me...... However, I also said that it will not be in the future......"

Xiao Tian was a little vague about Su Jia's thoughts, but thinking about Su Jia's bumpy experience, he couldn't help it. Then, Xiao Tian thought for a moment, and then said, "Jia'er, I know that you will definitely make up your mind to do it for your goal...... I also know that you don't want me to be implicated for you, so ......" Xiao Tian still feels that it is difficult to grasp the balance between himself and Su Jia in the difficult choice of life goals and emotions.

Su Jia didn't seem to want to say anything, but she thought of what her predecessors had said to her before......

"The way of life, the road is long, everyone is alive, philosophy and the way of being a person are accumulated and discovered in the world, and many truths are only understood if you experience it yourself......"

"No matter what sorrow you have had, don't make the wrong move in life......"

The words of Master Xuankong and Gu Yuqing's predecessors seemed to have been lingering in Su Jia's ears. Thinking of everything that happened yesterday, Su Jia couldn't help but feel that her life path was really confused, whether she should choose the goal she should have fixed, or grasp the hard-won emotions in front of her......

Looking at Su Jia's confused eyes, Xiao Tian tried to change the topic and said, "Don't think about it, Jia'er...... By the way, today is the first day of the kendo conference, why don't you go to Nangong Murong's house with Sister Jing and them, just go out to relax, it's better than the depression here. As he spoke, Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Tian's smile, Su Jia's mood also seemed to improve a little. So, she also smiled and nodded, and then said softly: "Well, it's good to go out and have a look, at least this time we won't be going to compete with the people of the Nangong family again......"

"At that time, all the visiting martial arts celebrities will gather together, and we can also go and join in the ......fun," Xiao Tian said with a smile, "Get up, Jia'er, maybe Sister Jing and Brother Tang are already waiting for us now." ”

Su Jia still smiled and nodded, then got up from the bed, combed it briefly, and walked out of the room with Xiao Tian......
