Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 14: Dude with Black Bowel
In late spring in March, there was a gentle breeze, and the willow branches were dancing in the wind. The catkins on the branches had been blown less and less by the wind.
When I woke up early in the morning, there were few people on the street, and the doors of every house on both sides of the street were closed. A loud sound of horse hooves disturbed the rare tranquility in the early morning.
A group of guards in golden helmets escorted a carriage, which stopped majestically in front of the carriage house. The four strong men guarding the gate saw that the visitor was unkind, and immediately gathered in front of the door to block the way in.
Hu Lai pointed at the other person and shouted: "Who is coming?"
The leader of the other party walked over with his head held high and asked arrogantly: "Where is your gang leader? Master Liu and Master Zhang are here, why don't you see her go out to greet them in person?"
The four gatekeepers looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn't know each other's names, they knew from their posture that they had noble status.
Su Bing, the gatekeeper, stepped forward, raised his hands and asked: "I don't know which two adults they are. Please tell me your name. We will go in immediately to report..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the leader of the other party raised his hand and slapped Su Bing in the mouth. The blow made him confused and dizzy.
"Who do you think you are? You deserve to know our uncle's name!" The other party's attitude was very arrogant.
Su Bing covered her face and stared at him. Although she was angry, she did not dare to act rashly without knowing the identity of the other party.
The Gao Yao next to him cupped his hands and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Majesty, please forgive us for not recognizing your identity. So please give me your surname so that we can go in and report to the Young Gang Leader! Otherwise, the Young Gang Leader will
If we don't know your identity and we neglect you again, it will be our fault!"
The guard looked him up and down and snorted softly: "Well, finally there is someone who can talk. Go and tell your gang leader that Lord Zhang Heng, the commander of the Jinjia Guard, and Lord Liu Rong, the son of the Minister of Rites, have come to visit.
She came out quickly to greet her, but don't lose her etiquette!"
Hearing the names of Zhang Heng and Liu Rong, the four people's hearts suddenly trembled. They immediately cheered up and no one dared to neglect:
Fan Tong and Gao Yao, who were guarding the door, stepped forward and opened the car door for them. Hu Lai led them to the main hall. Su Bing turned around and went in to report to the young gang leader Lu Ning.
The reason why these two are so intimidating is because of the royal blood flowing in their bodies:
Zhang Heng is the son of Pingyang Marquis and the cousin of the current emperor; Liu Rong is the minister of rites and the son of the state leader Liu Bingwen, who is also the younger brother of the current queen and the emperor's brother-in-law. With such a noble status, let alone the poor people, he is considered to be the first rank in the court.
Senior officials should also give the two of them three points.
Secondly, it was because Zhang and Liu were notorious playboys in Shengjing. Relying on their status as relatives of the emperor, they took advantage of Shengjing to plunder, bully and dominate the market, were ruthless and daring... and committed almost all kinds of evil.
At first, some bullied officials went to Shu to impeach the two men, but every time the emperor either turned a blind eye or received a lighter punishment, which made the two men even more aggressive and unscrupulous.
Over time, people who know the truth will stay away from these two people, and would rather suffer a loss than provoke them. The officials in the court are still like this, and the people are already cheap, so who is willing to throw an egg against a stone!
Hu Lai politely asked the two of them to wait in the main hall, and ordered someone to bring tea and fruit snacks, fearing that they would lose their heads accidentally. However, the two of them only waited in the room for a while before they completely lost their patience.
Zhang Heng looked around and snorted disdainfully: "They say that Caravan is the largest business in Beiyu. Why is it so shabby? There is not even a decent mahogany furniture in the living room, let alone antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain vases."
The man next to him was thirty years old, with droopy eyes, a short and lean figure, and a very eye-catching brown beard. He was Liu Rong, the son of Liu Bingwen, the Minister of Rites.
Liu Rong took a sip of tea and immediately spat it out, muttering dissatisfiedly: "What kind of tea is this? Why does it taste so bad? It's not made with snow water!"
He put down the tea cup with a look of disgust, looked around, and suddenly asked Zhang Heng in a low voice: "Commander Zhang, are you sure it was someone from the caravan who did this?"
Zhang Heng twirled his beard and snorted coldly: "How can this be false? My men chased them all the way and intercepted and killed them several times, but they were all fucking killed by these people! I have been tracking them for a long time,
Only then did they find out their identities!”
Liu Rong glanced at him and said sarcastically: "It seems that the famous Golden Guards are not that powerful! I heard that there were only three people escorting them, including a woman and an old man. You sent out so many people but you didn't stop them.
!It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world!”
Zhang Heng stared at him angrily and cursed: "Fart! All my men are carefully selected killers! Even Ning Yuan, the former commander of the Royal Guards Division, died at the hands of these people. But who could have expected that these
A bastard running around in the world is actually so capable!"
Liu Rong pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "It seems that they do have a problem! No wonder Commander Zhang changed his tough attitude in the past and suddenly came to win over them!"
As he said that, he poured the tea in the cup out of the door. A bright red figure happened to come outside the door. When he saw the tea rushing out of the door, he jumped lightly and landed right in front of the two of them.
Looking at the girl falling from the sky, the two of them suddenly felt their hearts fluttering, and their brows were filled with joy. They stared at the girl without hesitation. Then they exchanged lustful eyes with each other, their expressions were very frivolous and wanton.
The girl suppressed her anger, raised her hands to the two of them, and said coldly: "I'm Lu Ning, the young leader of the Cavalry Gang! The two adults asked to see me by name, but what's the matter?"
After hearing this, Liu Rong and Zhang Heng's faces changed instantly - no one expected that this young girl would be the talker of the caravan.
The two of them looked at Lu Ning unscrupulously again: seeing that her skin was as good as snow, her figure was graceful, and she was cute and cute. They were shocked and smiled at each other tacitly, and couldn't help but feel frivolous in their hearts.
Just at this moment, the sound of shaking footsteps came. Toto, a tall and fierce-looking man, walked through the door like a god carrying a gold-nailed mace weighing more than a hundred pounds.
Come, stand next to Lu Ning.
The two immediately stopped teasing and drank tea to calm down their shock.
Putting down the tea cup, Zhang Heng took the lead and said: "I am Zhang Heng, the commander of the Jinjia Guard, and this person next to me is Liu Rong, the son of the Minister of Rites. I wonder if Leader Lu has heard of it?"
Lu Ning walked to the main seat and sat down gracefully, and then said in a leisurely manner: "I have just entered Shengjing for the first time. I have not had much interaction with people in the court. I am not familiar with their names. I hope you can forgive me.
If you two officials have something to do, you might as well just tell me!"
Zhang Hengyang stared at Lu Ning and asked straight to the point: "I heard that Gang Leader Lu was escorting a woman to the capital. Is this true?"
Lu Ning picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, thinking to himself:
Not good! I didn’t expect them to find out the leader of the caravan so quickly. However, seeing that the two of them were so domineering that they could send people to the caravan to cause trouble, but they chose to come in person to question them, they must have no conclusive evidence.
Or, like Yu Fengjin, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to win over the caravan.
However, no matter what, as long as the other party does not produce strong evidence, she will never admit it and cannot allow the caravan to continue to be involved in this matter!
She looked at the two of them, smiled slightly, and said without changing her expression: "When we entered the city, there were only three of us, my master and my brother. I wonder who the woman you are talking about is?"
Zhang Heng didn't seem surprised by this answer. He smiled and said: "Master Lu, don't be too busy denying it. I know you are also entrusted by others, so you have to keep it secret for your employer! However, this matter involves the imperial court and cannot be tolerated.
Outsiders intervened and hoped that the Lu gang leader could hand over this woman. I promise not to embarrass you!"
Lu Ning looked up at him, his eyes full of confusion and confusion: "I don't know what kind of woman it is that makes you two adults search so painstakingly. However, our caravan travels around the world and relies on our reputation of honesty and trustworthiness.
I said that the caravan has never escorted such a woman, and if you two adults don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Liu Rongfang had just been listening and did not interrupt. When Lu Ning said this, he immediately became furious and shouted harshly: "You don't know how to praise me! You have to admit it today, or you don't.
Admit it! Do you think we are afraid of you when we sit down and have a good discussion with you? We are here to give you face, so don’t be fined if you don’t drink the toast! Be careful that we make your caravan walk around without food!"
Liu Rong's sudden outburst made Toto furious. He pointed at the two of them with his mace and roared: "Hey! Be careful when you talk to our young gang leader. This is the caravan and not your territory. If you dare to yell again,
Xiao Ming, I will let you taste the power of the golden spiked mace!"
This deafening roar of dragons and tigers frightened Liu Rong into a cold sweat. His arrogance was instantly extinguished. He turned to look at Zhang Heng, thinking that he was a military attache in charge of thousands of armies. Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng's expression at this time
It's also ugly.
"Let me tell you, Lord Lu Gang, there are dozens of golden-armored guards standing outside the door. If we really take action, you are no match for us. I am very fond of the horse gang, so I will sit down and discuss it with you. If you force
We turned against each other and wanted to destroy a small caravan. It is easy for me! You have to think clearly!"
Zhang Heng crossed his legs and started to say harsh words, in order to intimidate the other party and at the same time embolden himself.
"It is indeed not difficult for the commander to eliminate the semicolon of a caravan, but the commander must be prepared for the possibility of being hunted down by the entire world! I advise you not to do this!" Faced with the two singing and singing, a red face
With a pale face, Lu Ning sat on the chair as steady as a mountain, with a calm expression on his face: "As for the woman you just mentioned, I have never seen it! I think it is necessary for Mr. Zhang to check the source of this news to see what is going on.
Is it someone who framed me, or is there some misunderstanding?"
As she said that, she raised her finger and pointed at Toto beside her, and said with a smile: "You two adults, don't be surprised. Our brothers in the caravan are no better than the officials in the court. We have never studied and have been in the world since childhood, so our tempers are inevitably a bit hot.
If the two sides really disagree and start fighting, if my brother really hurts the two adults, it will not be worth it!"
Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and stared at her for a long time, then suddenly said with a ferocious smile: "I, Zhang Heng, have always admired people in the world the most. How about this, let's make friends. This time, you will give me a face as the leader of the Lu Gang. As long as you hand over this
Woman, I will protect your caravan and live in prosperity and safety in the capital for the rest of your life!" After saying that, he glanced at Liu Rong.
Liu Rong immediately took over the conversation and said fiercely: "Lu Gang Leader, you have to think carefully, think carefully, and think about the current situation clearly! Commander Zhang is a relative of the emperor, and his subordinates command the imperial army in the capital.
.So many people in the court wanted to have a relationship with him, but he gave this honor to the caravan! There are only benefits to making friends with him, no harm. I advise the leader of the Lu Gang not to choose the wrong direction or stand on the wrong team!"
Lu Ning pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I would like to thank you two on behalf of the caravan brothers!"
The two people, who thought they had captured Lu Ning, immediately looked at each other and smiled with pride.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ning suddenly changed the subject and sighed quietly: "However, I appreciate your kindness! You two are of noble status, how can we, the reckless people in the world, afford it! Besides, we, the caravan, only want to
I just do a small business and don’t want to get involved in government affairs! I hope you two will forgive me!" This chapter has been completed!
