Jianghu are all masters

220.

Lu Zhaoming stood aside, as if he had already left this world.

Pu Yangjing and Zhao Chengyang were talking about business, while Lu Zhaoming's handwriting was floating above his head. He was still counting his heartbeat, and it seemed to have slowed down a bit, and he seemed to be gradually returning to normal.

It's just that he used to put on a serious face, and he really seemed to be thinking seriously, and Zhang Xiaoyuan was used to taking the initiative to answer the conversation, so Pu Yangjing and Zhao Chengyang didn't notice anything wrong with him at all.

Only Zhang Xiaoyuan knew that since he got under the bed, the elder brother had inexplicably emptied himself.

His world may only have his heartbeat, and he can't hear everything else.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but sighed lightly.

"Don't worry," he said, "we'll take care of him."

That was his second senior brother!Although the second senior brother was indeed looked down upon by everyone in their school, but that was also his second senior brother.

"After this incident, maybe you can let me see him." Zhao Chengyang said in a low voice, "He is my elder brother, and also one of the few bloodlines of my close relatives who are connected by blood. I have no reason to kill him."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't speak.

Even though Qi Lian and Wen Suyuan had promised him that he would never commit the crime of killing his brother, and he had never seen Zhao Chengyang have any bad thoughts in him, he still felt that he could not commit the crime of killing his brother. Tell him the identity of the second senior brother.

The emperor's family was ruthless and helpless, and Zhao Chengyang didn't have the strength to control everything by himself. What's more, this was the second senior brother's business. Whether to tell or not, it should be left to the second senior brother to decide.

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought about this, and then he spoke seriously, and said: "After all this is over, I will pass on the emperor's words to him."

Zhao Chengyang couldn't help being startled, as if he didn't understand Zhang Xiaoyuan's words for a while.

"To see you or not to see you is a matter between him and you." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "I am not qualified to cross the line and decide for him."

Zhao Chengyang was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Young Xia Zhang, you are such an interesting person, I seem to like you more and more."

Lu Zhaoming moved slightly suddenly, as if he had finally returned to their conversation, and keenly grasped the word "like".

He frowned and looked at Zhao Chengyang, but he didn't say anything. Even in the eyes of others, the change in his expression seemed to be minimal. Except for Zhang Xiaoyuan, the other two didn't notice any change in his expression at all.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know why he suddenly put on such an expression, but Zhao Chengyang happened to turn to Lu Zhaoming, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked: "Lu Shaoxia, I also have something to ask for your help."

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

He didn't say "yes" or "no", but Zhao Chengyang didn't mind, he asked Lu Zhaoming: "Do you know the cavalry under your father's back then?"

Lu Zhaoming nodded slowly after a while.

He still has memories of his childhood. Although he didn't know the strength of Li Hanchuan's subordinates back then, he still remembered that there were always a few uncles who liked to tease him, saying that his temperament was not at all like his father, but like a princess. , Li Hanchuan laughed beside him, saying that being like a princess is a good thing.

Those memories are clear, and everyone's words seem to be in their ears.

"After General Li passed away, the troops under his command did not obey the court's order." Zhao Chengyang said, "They are still guarding the border. Tang Henghuai has no ability to move them, and he is afraid of their strength, so he has never attacked them. But if it goes on like this for a long time , is not a good thing.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan could understand what those people were thinking.

Based on his understanding of Li Hanchuan, this person is worthy of being the protagonist of countless legendary stories in Jianghu. People around him like him so much and treat him as a close friend. Looking at Wen Suyuan's current appearance, he can roughly guess What would his former subordinates think of him?

However, Li Hanchuan died of being framed by Tang Henghuai, Zhao Chengyang was weak when he was young, and was unable to stop it all. According to the instructions of the court, I am afraid that it will not be long before they all have the same accident as Li Hanchuan.

Zhao Chengyang said: "I want you to persuade them."

Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly, as if he had a different opinion, and said, "They don't even listen to General Wen, how could they listen to me."

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that what the elder brother said was very reasonable.

Wen Suyuan and Li Hanchuan are close friends, and he is a general of Hussars. If Li Hanchuan's subordinates are not even willing to listen to Wen Suyuan's words, how can they be willing to obey the orders of such a young man as Lu Zhaoming.

Zhao Chengyang said: "But you are General Li's child."

"Apart from my blood, I don't have any ability to lead troops to fight, and I have never been to the border." Lu Zhaoming frowned, "I have never even read a book on warfare."

Zhao Chengyang: "But..."

Lu Zhaoming: "If you were them, would you obey the orders of such a brat?"

Zhao Chengyang: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly, tugged at Lu Zhaoming's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't scold yourself."

Lu Zhaoming looked at Zhao Chengyang for a moment, and suddenly dropped a sentence of unclear meaning: "If you really think so, then I think you may not be ready yet."

He didn't use the last half of honorific words to Zhao Chengyang, and his tone was not very respectful, but Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that he was saying that Zhao Chengyang is not qualified to be a good emperor today. With an idea, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think they are unwilling to obey the instructions of the court because they are disappointed with Tang Henghuai's control of the government, and they don't intend to seek rebellion."

Zhao Chengyang was startled and nodded.

"If you can prove it to them in the future, the politics of the court and China will be clear, and the people of the world will be well-off." Zhang Xiaoyuan said seriously, "They will definitely come back."

Throw the problem to the person who asked it and let him solve it himself.

Zhang Xiaoyuan thinks he is a genius.

Zhao Chengyang felt that what he said was very reasonable, he nodded seriously, and said, "Shaoxia Zhang really—"

Before he could finish his next words, Lu Zhaoming had already stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Xiaoyuan back a little, as if Zhao Chengyang was some kind of scourge that must be guarded against. This action surprised everyone slightly, and Zhang Xiaoyuan was even more puzzled. I don't understand why the big brother would do this.

Zhao Chengyang understood.

He didn't say it clearly, but just smiled and said: "Lu Shaoxia is protecting his weaknesses."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "?"

Protect your weaknesses?Why short?Why short-sightedness?

"It's getting late, Puyang, please send the two knights out of the palace." Zhao Chengyang said with a smile, "If you and I are destined, maybe we can meet each other in the palace after a while."

……

After leaving the palace, Zhang Xiaoyuan was in a complicated mood, frowning and thinking about the matter in his mind, while thinking about what to do next.

If Tang Henghuai and Tianming Pavilion are going to be unfavorable to the second senior brother, they only need to follow Zhao Chengyang's wishes and protect the second senior brother, but Zhang Xiaoyuan feels that those villains always use all means to achieve their goals. The second senior brother is far from enough, if Tianming Pavilion is in one day, they may not feel at ease.

It happened that both Pei Wuluan and Mo Wentian wanted to deal with Tianming Pavilion, they were two excellent and powerful helpers, he couldn't help turning his head to ask Puyang Jing who was going to send them back to the She Mansion, and said: "Master Puyang, Tianming Pavilion and About Tang Henghuai, can I tell other people?"

Pu Yangjing nodded: "As long as it is someone you can trust."

In the blink of an eye, She's mansion has arrived.

Pu Yangjing returned to the palace, while Zhang Xiaoyuan ran to see She Shuyi who had been waiting for them all night, and wanted to tell him what happened today.

He wanted to leave immediately and return to Fengji County. If it took too long, he was worried that Lin Yi would really grab Liuzhi and torture him for interrogation, and the second senior brother would really be in danger.

She Shuyi obviously agrees with him: "I'll ask someone to pack up, and we'll leave tomorrow."

Since they were going to leave tomorrow, they should go back and have a good rest today. Zhang Xiaoyuan and Lu Zhaoming went back to the courtyard where they were lying on the couch, and were about to say goodbye to the elder brother, but Lu Zhaoming suddenly said: "Snow in the capital."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled: "What snow?"

Lu Zhaoming said softly: "You said you wanted to see the snow in the capital."

If they leave at this time and come to the capital next time, they don't know when it will be.

But Zhang Xiaoyuan is the best at comforting himself, he blinked and said: "The snow in the south of the Yangtze River is not so good."

Lu Zhaoming didn't speak, he looked obviously a little guilty, if it wasn't for his background, Zhao Chengyang might not have joined forces with them at all, he always felt that he was the one who made Zhang Xiaoyuan see the snow in the capital.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly and said, "I'm still young, I can watch it later."

Lu Zhaoming was still very guilty.

Looking at Lu Zhaoming's appearance, Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly had a unique idea in his heart.

Eldest brother looks very guilty, if I ask him what he said to his uncle today, he might say everything out of guilt.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly, carefully probing: "The trip to the capital was very fruitful, but there is only one regret..."

Lu Zhaoming really asked: "What regret?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't wait: "What did you say to Master Uncle?"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Lu Zhaoming slightly turned his face away, under the moonlight, his cheeks seemed to be slightly flushed.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help being more curious, but Lu Zhaoming refused to go any further.

Looking at his embarrassed expression, Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly felt that... bullying honest people doesn't seem to be that interesting.

But if he doesn't bully honest people, how else can he make the stubborn elder brother stop feeling guilty?

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "I quite like fireflies."

Lu Zhaoming looked at him, as if he didn't understand.

Zhang Xiaoyuan added: "I think fireflies are much prettier than snow."

Lu Zhaoming: "You said this..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

"I don't want to see the snow anymore." Zhang Xiaoyuan grabbed Lu Zhaoming's arm, and even wanted to shake Lu Zhaoming's shoulder, "The last night in the capital, big brother, take me to see the fireflies!"
