Chapter 6: The country is a heavy weapon, beware of fear(1/2)
A file one foot long and three inches thick.
Everything that may be related to Sun Qi's death was recorded densely and meticulously.
Lu Xing was holding the table, with a cup of hot ginger tea on his right hand. The papers Lu Xing had read would be carefully put away by Xiao Yu and re-stacked into a pile.
Liu Danyang watched silently. As a disher, he was good at collecting and organizing information, but he also had to remember to keep his mouth shut so as not to influence the decision-maker's judgment.
At the table a little further away, Chu Chu was drinking wine and eating beef, paying no attention to what Lu Xing was doing there.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the 19th year of Fenghe, in the eighth month of the lunar month, it was the autumnal equinox.
Thirty miles north of Jiacheng, in a wilderness forest, Sun Qi was killed by a sword through the heart. The sword's edge was straight and there was little bleeding.
There were a total of thirty-two people accompanying him, including ten Vajra Realm disciples, two Mountain Crossing Realm disciples, and one Confucianism disciple. After the accident, only one Confucianism disciple survived. His name was Sun Wu, who was single-handedly promoted by Sun Qi.
, has cultivated to the level of a gentleman.
Sun Wu carried Sun Qi's body and ran for seventy miles to the north. When he was found, Sun Wu was unconscious and crazy, repeating the word "Lu" in his mouth.
Lu Xing's pupils shrank and he suddenly raised his head to look at the other two people in the room. Liu Danyang stood respectfully on the side of the table, while Chu Chu was drinking wine by himself, not paying attention to Lu Xing's gaze.
"Aunt Liu, did you collect all the information in this file?" Lu Xing's eyes were a little cold.
Liu Danyang replied: "My lord, the hidden line of Zhao Nanxuan has been silent all year round, so it will not collect information blatantly. Half of the contents of this file were handed over to me by Mr. Fu."
Hearing that the file passed through Fu Mu's hands first, Lu Xing's eyes softened a little. He took a sip of ginger tea, but almost choked.
"Sir, be careful." Xiao Yu wiped the water stains on the table with a handkerchief and said softly.
Lu Xing felt a little panicked. When the file saw this, an answer he couldn't even imagine appeared.
At this moment, he finally understood why Fu Mu asked Chu Chu to come, and also understood why Chu Chu said before, "If it is related, then it depends on how the young master responds."
The seventh floor of martial arts - the mountain top realm! And martial arts are used to kill people!
The reasons behind Sun Qi's death were only known to Mr. Ge and a series of dishes. The so-called truth was not important at all. As long as everyone who knew about the matter was dead, Lu Xing could be freed from suspicion.
The first person to know the news should be Jiacheng Dianzi, who was closest to the scene of the crime, and was also the first group of people to die.
After Ge Lao learned that Lu Xing had made the decision to kill and silence everyone, he would kill all the people in the north who knew about it, and all the old city lord's old troops in the army and the generals close to Sun Qi would be killed or imprisoned.
.The black knight has not come to Longhu Mountain, but the butcher's knife will also be stained with blood.
If any force attempts to resist, Lu Shuang, who has not yet come forward, will become the last hurricane to calm the turbulent waves.
One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither, and there will be many bones under the throne.
Lu Xing hesitated and hid his trembling right hand under his sleeve. Back then, he didn't want to be a butcher, so he fled to Longhu Mountain.
As soon as Sun Qi died, all the actions of Xuejin City so far were so fast that it was chilling.
Even, even... Lu Xing didn't dare to think about it. At this moment, the warm ginger tea on the table became the only comfort in Lu Xing's heart.
But with a shake of his right hand, ginger tea spilled all over him.
"Master, Master, are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Yu anxiously wiped the water stains on Lu Xing's body with his sleeves, and then pushed the roll of paper on the table far away, fearing that Lu Xing would worry about it again.
Liu Danyang saw it in his eyes, but he didn't dare to step forward. He could only do his duty and close all the bamboo windows that opened to the outside of the house.
Chu Chu hurriedly came over. Before setting off, the elder Ge gave him two options, but Qian warned and warned Wan, "We must ensure Lu Xing's safety, otherwise the peace of the Northland in the past twenty years will no longer exist."
After checking Lu Xing's pulse, Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief. His five internal organs were exhausted, he was slightly affected by wind and cold, and he had no worries about his life.
"Xiao Yu, help the prince go back to his room to rest. I'll make a medicinal soup and deliver it later."
"Wait a moment," Lu Xing's voice interrupted everyone's movements.
"Third uncle, Xuejin City will not treat those who have meritorious service unfairly, nor will it cause unnecessary disasters." Lu Xing seemed to have exhausted his last strength, and lost consciousness after a spin.
Chu Chu didn't say anything, and raised his eyebrows to indicate that the two of them should do their own thing.
Liu Danyang did not dare to neglect, and quickly led Xiao Yu to an upper room, and then went to open the medicinal material warehouse for Chu Chu.
In the dim hut, there was the sound of herbs being roasted.
"Liu Danyang, how many years have you been making dishes?" Chu Chu squinted, feeling overwhelmed by the smell of herbs.
Liu Danyang was pounding medicinal materials, and when he heard Chu Chu's question, he quickly stopped what he was doing.
"My lord, I grew up in a bookstore and received various trainings since childhood. After I turned sixteen, I went out to work as a dish. It has been eighteen years now."
"Very good," Chu Chu's voice was a little low, sounding hoarse: "From now on, you will stay with the Crown Prince, and you don't have to worry about the dish anymore."
Liu Danyang was stunned. Logically speaking, this kind of news should be the sound of nature, but she didn't know whether she was happy or sad at the moment.
"Then Jiacheng's line..." Liu Danyang stopped talking immediately, her flashing eyes were full of panic. She was no longer a dish, and now she was not qualified to ask about anything about the hidden line. Even what she remembered in the past, she had to forget as soon as possible.
, this is the best protection for the companions who live together day and night.
Chu Chu saw Liu Danyang's embarrassment in his eyes and comforted him: "Don't panic, you will be regarded as the prince's maid from now on. As for the secret matter... Xuejin City will not treat those who have meritorious service unfairly. This is the prince's true words."
"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Liu Danyang bowed respectfully and willingly.
"Don't thank me, it's the prince who is kind..."
…
In an upper room, the bamboo window was half-opened, and an ambergris lamp was lit in front of the case.
Xiao Yu stayed in front of the couch, supporting her head with her left hand. Just now Liu Danyang brought a bowl of medicinal soup and left. It took her a long time to let the prince drink the medicine safely.
Lu Xing woke up and slept, and all he could see were the bed curtains at the four corners, and the mahogany top carved into a "flying dragon holding a pearl".
The moon has passed and it is getting late. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a maid to stay overnight without permission.
Xiao Yu tidied the bedding for Lu Xing for the last time and planned to leave.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his right arm was held tightly. Xiao Yu was slightly startled and felt that the master's hand was so cold.
"Don't leave tonight..." The voice was soft, but it caused countless ripples in Xiaoyu's heart.
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yu turned around and patiently pulled Lu Xing's hand away from her right arm: "I'm just a maid, I can't go beyond the rules."
"Xiao Yu, are you also a member of the pavilion?" Lu Xing's voice was very calm.
Young Master... Xiao Yu's eyes filled with mist, she pursed her lips and said nothing, and the movements of her hands stopped.
No wonder Third Uncle wants to take you with him... Lu Xing used his only strength to pull Xiao Yu into his arms, looked into those watery eyes and said, "Tonight, you are my son's son."
"Sir, what are you talking about..."
Xiao Yu's eyes averted, but she felt her heart beating very fast, the young master's body odor entered her nose, and a blush instantly rushed to her cheeks.
Lu Xing smiled slightly, as if he was saying something very interesting: "Take off your clothes for me, and also for yourself."
Xiao Yu was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence.
"Anyway, let's put down the bed curtains." The word "bed curtains" was spoken even more quietly than sesame seeds and mung beans.
"According to your--"
The red curtain fell, and the firelight reflected two dark shadows one above and one below on the bed curtain.
"But still remember, you and I read the Emperor's Internal Classics together at Longhu Mountain?"
"Young Master is being serious, that's obviously..."
"Would you like to give it a try?"
"Woo-oh..."
…
The next day.
There were all kinds of pastries on the table. Lu Xing got up early and ate his meals, feeling very energetic.
"Xiao Yu, it's time to get up and eat. Do you want me to feed you?"
Xiaoyu buried her face in the quilt, her eyes were red from crying, and there was a wet stain on the pillow.
"It's all my fault, Young Master. The cultivation of the Soul Cultivation Realm that I finally achieved is gone now..." Xiao Yu felt the shriveled spiritual energy in his Dantian and felt so sad that he wanted to cry without tears.
"Okay, it's my fault, you shouldn't have tried the Huangdi Neijing."
"If you still don't feel relieved, then think about it, my cultivation level is gone, and we are two miserable couple."
Lu Xing placed a plate of snacks on the bedside and wiped away the tears on Xiao Yu's face with his hands.
"How can it be the same - the young master did it on his own, and I was robbed by the young master."
Xiaoyu hid her face in the quilt, her face flushed with embarrassment. She was so happy when she heard Lu Xing's words of fate.
Sunlight shone through the bamboo window, and there was a shadow on the door. Lu Xing thought about it and went out to check.
Liu Danyang waited quietly all morning. When he heard the movement in the house, he did not dare to disturb him.
When she saw Lu Xing coming out, she quickly bowed and said, "Sir, Master Chu has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Aunt Liu..." Lu Xing was a little surprised. Liu Danyang was dressed very green today. The light blue cloth was rolled up on her upper body. The outer shirt was green. The cloth was opaque, but it still couldn't hide the turbulent waves. She was exquisite and quality.
The figure is clearly visible.
"Sir, please." Liu Danyang shyly hid half of her cheeks. She was not a young girl, and it was hard to say such words as a maid.
