Although the current Chang'an City is calm, Song Xian is still very conscientious and will patrol the city tower every night to make sure.
Lu Bu entrusted him with such an important burden, and he did not want to disappoint the general.
When Song Xian climbed the tower, a middle-aged general greeted him, nodding and bowing.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Song Xian looked suspicious, obviously he didn't know this person.
The middle-aged general replied with a smile: "General Song Rong, I was on duty under Wei Weiqing before I was humbled, and I was transferred to replace it temporarily tonight. You see, this is the transfer order of the Sikong Mansion."
After Song Xian checked it, it was indeed stamped with the seal of the Sikong Mansion, so he didn't say any more, but he was cautious in his heart.
For no reason, why did you suddenly replace the school officer guarding the city?
And, still without his knowledge.
If things go against the norm, there must be demons.
At that time, the city of Chang'an was very quiet, except for the palace and some mansions where there were candles burning, the people in the city had already fallen asleep.
At this time, many torches were suddenly lit up on the originally cold street, and the footsteps were hurried.
Song Xian happened to see this side from the corner of the city wall, his face was slightly gloomy, and he asked the middle-aged general beside him: "Officer Wu, why are there so many official errands on the street?"
Wu Bai's face was startled, and he quickly recovered, trying not to show his feet, and replied: "It is said that people from Tingwei's Mansion are planning to arrest a Jiangyang thief, and they will close the net tonight."
Song Xian is still skeptical about this, because he doesn't know about it.
When the government arrests thieves in the city, under normal circumstances, it will require the cooperation of the city guards, and at the very least, they will send a note to the guards.
"I think it's because the actions are relatively strict, and it's only natural that General Song didn't know about it." Wu Bai prevaricated.
However, Song Xian will not be fooled easily, he decided to go down to the city to find out what happened, so that he can rest assured.
Seeing this, Wu Bai's eyes suddenly became murderous, and he hurriedly said: "General Song, look outside the city!"
Song Xian turned his head, Wu Bai took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed straight away.
…………
Not long after, the officials on the streets of the city dispersed and rushed to different places in the city.
boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Close to the market in the west of the city, the door of Lu Mansion was knocked heavily.
Just as the servants in the mansion opened the door, a group of thugs rushed in.
"Hey hey, who are you, do you know this is Marquis Wen's mansion?" The servant yelled loudly, completely ignoring these vicious guys.
In the past, the people who came to the mansion, not to mention the scholars and students who came to seek an official, even the big shots in the court, did not dare to be so presumptuous.
The leading ferocious man glanced around, lifted the servant in front of him with one arm in the air, watched him thrash about like a chicken, and asked, "Your wife, where are you now?"
The movement at the door quickly alarmed the guards in the mansion, and Li Hei, who was in charge of the guards, rushed over with a group of brothers.
There were two or three hundred people who came, far more than his own, and Li Hei's heart sank. These people were all dressed in black, and they had a fierce aura, which belonged to absolute desperadoes.
It is true: those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come.
Li Hei's gaze was fixed on the fierce man in the lead, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which way are you on, how dare you reveal your name."
The fierce man ignored him, and continued to ask the same question as before: "I'll ask you one last time, your wife, where are you now?"
Hearing this tone, Li He knew that there was no need to negotiate any further, and turning the blade in his hand, Hu shouted, "Kill!"
Facing an enemy several times larger than himself, none of the dozens of guards flinched behind them, clutching their armored swords tightly, and charged forward.
They were determined in their hearts that even if they died in this battle, they would never let these people hurt Madam and Young Master.
…………
In the south of Chang'an City, somewhere in the courtyard of a deep house.
This is one of the few mansions that are still lit with candles, compared to other mansions where the lights are turned off.
In the middle of the courtyard stood a middle-aged man with an upright face. At this moment, he was looking up at the dark night sky, dazed.
After a long time, Youyou sighed: Hey...
"Father, why are you sighing?"
A tall boy came up the corridor in the courtyard, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face. Compared with his father, he was half a head taller.
"What I sigh for my father is that during this night, I don't know how many lives will die in vain. As my father, as Jing Zhaoyin, I can only watch helplessly and can't do anything."
Axiomically speaking, he should send someone to inform Lu Bu, but in terms of personal and family interests, he and Huang Wan and others are on the same line.
dilemma.
"Father thought Lu Bu would lose?" the boy asked in a low voice.
"Is not it?"
The middle-aged man asked back, his son always has a different view of things from ordinary people.
"My son begs to differ."
The young man shook his head slightly, and after getting his father's gaze to continue, he continued to narrate: "Lv Bu seems to act recklessly, with simple limbs and a strong mind. In fact, he is very charismatic, and all soldiers in the army are willing to follow him. Well, my boy was fortunate enough to hear this person's pre-war encouragement, it was indeed inspiring, and even my boy had the idea of following the bloody battlefield at that time."
"Aside from these things, from the fact that Lu Bu was able to swallow his anger and dormant under Dong Zhuo for so long, it is enough to see that he is not a brave and reckless man."
The young man talked eloquently, and then listed a series of things in Xiliang and Hanzhong as supplements.
"You mean, Lu Bu has left behind in Chang'an?" After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man felt that what his son said seemed to have some truth.
The young man nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "My son can't guess what Lu Bu will do next, but I'm sure he will never sit still and wait for death."
The night is getting darker.
"Father, brother, why aren't you sleeping?"
In the corridor, an eight or nine-year-old young lady walked slowly, yawning.
"Second brother, why did you come out?" The elder brother asked with concern.
"Thirsty, come out and scoop up a bowl of water to drink." As he spoke, he walked to the water tank, picked up a bowl, scooped up a large bowl, and poured it down.
