Chapter 35 (23)

Lu Qian secretly thought, knowing that he was just a nice scene, but he didn't know how he was resentful, so he should report more or less? He couldn't tell what kind of thought was, so he was always unwilling to tell the truth. He responded and said, "It's true that he is Mr. Ling, and he can't hide anything from you. This... it's just because he's worried about your safety. There are not too many people, maybe..." Xuan Shuang said, "Slowly, come and attach it to my ear and say it. The voice is gentle, don't be shocked and leave."

Lu Qian didn't even think about his conspiracy. In order to win the trust, he had to pretend to be cheerful, step by step to his side, and whispered a number. After all, he still falsely reported several people. After all, he would not be happy when his life was in ubiquitous inquiries at any time.

Xuan Shuang didn't show it clearly, and said no, lightly tapping her toes on the ground, her eyes fixed on the wine glass in front of her, and flipping it back and forth a few times. Lu Qian was uneasy, and his eyes turned unconsciously with him, like a child, deeply touching the pattern on the cup and slowly tracing it along the lines. As soon as he realized some fun, Xuan Shuang suddenly threw the wine glass down, stomped his heel on the ground, and shouted: "The elder brothers who were looking at the scenery outside have all come down for me!"

In an instant, the room was surprisingly quiet, but no one appeared. Xuan Shuang sneered: "Oh, it seems that my words are useless now. Lord Lu, you can also make a statement. Let's take care of your subordinates. You should report your merits and demerits to the corresponding rewards and punishments. What's the fun of being an unsung hero?"

Lu Qian was helpless. Xuan Shuang seemed intimate, but in fact she was even more laughing and hiding a knife in her arms and disobeying his wishes, but there was no benefit. He said loudly: "Didn't you hear it? Your hidden skills are not enough to be home, so you can see it. What else can you say? The situation is over. Everyone, let's go down and listen to Ling Beile's treatment."

As the words came to the ground, several black shadows were "swooshing" and "swooshing" down from all over the eaves. They wore uniform clothing, their outer clothes were similar in color, and their inner shirts were wearing night clothes. Everyone squeezed and pressed in front of the door, bent their knees and half-kneeled, and said, "See Ling Beile!" The sound was like a bell, creating a bit of momentum invisibly.

Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "There is nothing good outside. The sun is hot during the day and the weather is cold at night. I am guarding the charcoal basin in the house, and I have food and drink. But the elder brothers are suffering on the roof. I feel a little sad. Everyone can stand it and can always hold on. Even if I talk to me and come in and sit, it's okay. There are still some leftover snacks here. Everyone is welcome to come and taste them."

Everyone looked at the snacks, shook their heads vigorously, retreating in panic, as if they had poisoned them. Xuan Shuang sighed, "It's rare that I am willing to treat guests, but you are unwilling to sell me this face. What a pity! But Lord Lu, this account is a bit unclear. You just reported to me eighteen people, but I will go one by one, but why is it twenty-three? Or is my arithmetic skills not up to standard?"

Lu Qian did not expect that none of these people would appear and take the order in one go. Fortunately, his mind was quick, and he immediately responded: "That's the case, there were indeed eighteen who were officially ordered. But the matter was not top secret. When the guards heard it, they refused to fall behind. The five extra people had never reported it to me and came on their own."

Xuan Shuang said, "So that's the case, that's true, and sincerity is commendable. Yinxue Palace listened to it. If you can do things as conscious as Lord Lu's subordinates in the future, what else can you do? Who is worthy of being our opponent?" After a change of the subject, he said, "I want to see who these five are, so that they can come out to set an example. I will promise a few more silver coins. Lord Lu, please turn around first. You must not turn back without my permission."

Lu Qian didn't know what he was doing, so he turned around reluctantly. He showed his back to others, and knew that the other party was just a child and a group of his subordinates, but he was still inexplicably worried. This was a taboo in the battle. He had been cautiously abiding by it for many years, but suddenly it changed, but it was more difficult for ordinary people to adapt. He raised his ears high, used ears instead of eyes, and paid attention to the movements behind him. His hands and five fingers were linked, and he secretly prepared his feet to start his own momentum.

Xuanshuang said: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, but I am not blindly manipulated by others. Before that, I have to confirm the identity of those five people. Come and take paper and pen."

After a while, a subordinate came with a large stack of white paper and distributed it to everyone one by one. Xuanshuang said: "Each person dips his index finger on the inkstone on the table. When I say it later, if you are the five extra people, just type a check in the center of the paper. If not, keep a piece of white paper. Everyone is realistic. It is yours and you don't have to worry about what others have. I have my own way to distinguish the authenticity."

However, these people were all sent by Lu Qian, so how could they be divided into regular soldiers or miscellaneous soldiers? If five people could embezzle this false reputation and receive rewards for no reason, it would be difficult for the rest of the people to be willing to do so. Therefore, they must fight for the drawing hooks, which are far more than five. Once the number is difficult to equalize, they will have to deliver the words to Xuan Shuang. Lu Qian could not turn around, and he could guess the hidden tricks just by hearing the rules announced. Although this could not deceive himself, he would not dare to make a promise to those subordinates who were not brainy.

Listening to the crowds behind them, everyone was lined up to dip ink at the table, and it took a long time to return to their original position. Xuan Shuang ordered to "start", and there was a silence behind her. This seemed to Lu Qian invisibly showed ominousness, but he could not turn around and could not speak, and he had to worry about everything.

In the torture, it seemed like hundreds of years had passed. Xuanshuang said again, "Okay, who have drawn the hook now? No one knows until the answer is revealed, including me. Please fold the paper and put it in your pocket." The guards, whether they were Lu Qian's subordinates or the spectators of Yinxue Palace, were all like playing games, laughing and joking. A rustling sound passed, and Xuanshuang said, "Okay, Lord Lu, you can turn your head."

Lu Qiandang was really impatient. As soon as he got the favor, he immediately turned his head away. Knowing that Xuanshuang would not see any clues for him, he still couldn't help looking around. It would be good to find some hidden clues. However, as expected, his eyes were almost cramped, and he still found nothing.

Xuan Shuang said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, you wouldn't send someone you don't know to protect me, right? Otherwise, you would be too irresponsible for my safety. In order to prevent someone from taking credit for me, I have to take precautions tightly. Now I'll ask you to identify who are the five more?"

Lu Qian was shocked. He thought he had already played with the group of guards, but he was far from satisfying the little ghost's scruples. Now he was not only involved in himself, but also in such an embarrassing way, but he was really in tears. He swept through everyone's faces one by one, but Xuan Shuang also followed him in the same direction and faced the crowd, which made them unable to initiate even if they were intentional to suggest. Even if they looked at it several times, they could not make up their minds.

Xuanshuang urged from time to time: "Mr. Lu, are you okay?" Lu Qian gathered a group to order that he would only listen to people's rewards every day, and he would not even be able to explain how much he had gone. Even the eighteen people just now were just talking nonsense.

At this time, I had to grit my teeth and select five people who seemed a little strange but were full of righteousness. They looked like some materials that knew how to protect the Lord loyally. In order to prevent the embarrassment later, I found a way out for myself and said, "I can't remember the Qing Dynasty, but... it seems to be these five people."

Xuanshuang said, "It's great. Please step forward and come to the center of this room." The five people went forward as they said, and arranged it in a row. Xuanshuang said, "I can trust Lord Lu, but there are exceptions in everything. I have to make another confirmation. Please take out the white paper in your pocket and spread it across your chest."

Lu Qian's heart beat loudly, and the two intersected each other and would definitely lose, which would add countless embarrassment. He watched the five people take out the paper, and four of them were white. However, the dying person also had to struggle. Before Xuanshuang could speak, he slapped his forehead hard and said, "Hey, I've been busy with Xueer's affairs recently. My head is not working well, and even people can't remember it."

Xuanshuang said, "But it's also pitiful. Well, Xiao Shanzi, you'll die for me. When did you go to Lord Lu? I'll tell you differently? I've treated you well for so many years, and I won't blame you, or do you deliberately treat me as an outsider?"

The guard with a single hook in front of the paper came forward, and it was indeed a eunuch, saying sharply: "Sister Xiao Shanzi, please ask Ling Beile for help. The slave was ordered to protect Ling Beile, and then he mingled with those elder brothers. In this way, is the slave considered the extra one?"

Lu Qian was almost desperate for a moment, and almost hugged his head and squatted down to repent. Xuanshuang had always been smiling from beginning to end, just like looking at a group of monkeys who followed his orders with satisfaction. He said, "Sir Lu? It seems that I won this game again. If you want to fight with me, you are still a little tender."

Lu Qian taught a child a lesson in person, but he was really disappointed and said, "No, right, I'm sorry for you this time. But I'm also worried about Xueer..." Xuanshuang said, "Hmph, I'm so selfless and worried about other people's wife, isn't that great?" Lu Qian's face suddenly became as swollen as purple as a pig's liver. If the crack was cracked on the ground at this time, the first one would have crawled into it, probably him.

Seeing that he was really embarrassed, Xuan Shuang had already learned a lesson, she waved her hand and sighed: "Forget it, who made us have a good relationship? What are brothers? It is a friend who can go through fire and water for each other at a critical moment, rather than calculating each other. For your sincerity, when you go to see my master, you will go with me. But one thing must be explained in advance: He has always been moody and even as a disciple, I can't understand his temper. If something goes wrong then, you can't blame me."

Lu Qian was very happy, as if he had resurrected after suffering from purgatory. He was so proud that he did not dare to say anything, and at the same time he thanked him very much.

This time, Xuanshuang finally stopped making trouble with him. She unfolded a few pieces of letter paper and studied it, and then determined the general place. He seemed to be greedy for pleasure these days, but in fact he had not had time to work.

Li Yijie asked several letters to put in Lu Qian in the morning, and he had some special tricks in the letter. In the eyes of those who don’t know, he would explain them according to the convention and finally draw a few wrong inferences, and go around in the same place and go back to the starting point. Only Xuanshuang knew how to identify them, and finally deciphered the mystery of the map in the room, so he made preparations in secret. As the trip was officially completed, neither of them had anything to him.

After traveling along the way, Lu Qian did not even dare to complain too much, for fear of getting angry, so he changed his mind. Finally, he arrived at an abandoned "fortress", which was one of the wealthy families that Xuanshuang had destroyed with Jiang Liechen. Standing in front of the threshold, he took out a small tube of artillery fire from his arms, ignited it, and threw it into the sky, sending a signal. After a while, another fireworks were also emitted from the village.

Xuanshuang whispered, "I'll go in alone, you'll wait outside first, so be patient." Lu Qian was unwilling to accept it, but he thought that the situation was not clear, so he couldn't help him even if he followed in rashly. All for Nangong Xue, he gave up.

Xuanshuang walked in the dilapidated small garden with deep feet and shallow feet. Fujia Villa is vast and can still see all the flowers planted in the past. After a bloodbathing several months ago, the whole family was killed. People are still like this, how can the plants and trees be?
