Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 586
"Unexpectedly, this matter was messed up by three outsiders."

In Fu County, Lu Kuang murmured as he looked at the handwriting on the parents' paper in front of him.

Hearing this, the housekeeper Lu Bianfu who was standing in the study asked respectfully:
"Master, is it possible that... the family let us not pursue it?"

"Well... how can I pursue it?"

Lu Kuang leaned on the chair and shook his head helplessly:

"According to the plan, we must have recruited the refugees first. But I didn't expect... the third brother just got the order from the King of Yue, and the Du family had already appeared in Sanliang Mountain... His footsteps It was fast enough, and within a day or two, the opportunity was already lost. As a result, the whole game was lost in one careless move... The Cui family even sent two brothers, Cui Ling and Cui Zhu, with five hundred Fubo army. Although there are not many people, but the attitude is shown. If this entanglement continues, the two families will have no possibility of peace talks... In addition, those masters who should have stopped the Du family and those people were all killed. The people of Xuanjun Temple took action to kill...the attitudes of Taoism, Bodhi Temple, and Xuanjun Temple have all been shown, so how can we pursue it?"

As he spoke, he slowly rolled up the scroll in front of him, and there was no look of regret on his face.

Originally, it was just a test that was instructed by the family.

But now that both Xuanjun Temple and Fubo Army have appeared, it means that the Cui family's determination that this pool of dragons and flames will not be separated from outsiders has also been revealed.

It's not that the Lu family is afraid, it's just that it's unnecessary.

After hearing Lu Kuang's words, Lu Bianfu suddenly frowned...

"But what should Sun Hua do? He has sent three letters to us in a row, saying that he wants to avenge the two hundred comrades..."

"Let him go."

Lu Kuang sneered:
"I'd like to see if he dares to go to Yu Kuan... and avenge his comrades? To put it simply, he doesn't even think about it. He can form this leading army. Who gave it to me. I told my fourth brother earlier that this Sun Hua doesn’t look like a simple-minded person, be careful about keeping tigers infested... Now it’s a good thing, after people from the Yu family and the Dugu family get together with him, This dog... has already dared to bark its teeth at its master."

"... But the fourth master promised at the beginning that as long as he can occupy the river east, he will give him the salt mine of Sangquan. Look at these three letters from him... he has never forgotten Sangquan, and now this group of refugees can't get it anymore." , what should we do?"

"Well……"

Hearing Lu Bianfu's words, Lu Kuang frowned and thought about it, then said:

"Hold on, he belongs to the fourth brother, and I can't say anything. When the fourth brother comes out of the Shengxian Manor, he will take care of his dogs... Take back all the vultures, and then take those who have been found out. All the homeless refugees should prepare for it, find a paper maker, make it look better, and send it to Cui Ling as a gift... In addition, they are preparing five hundred shi of grain and grass to load the car, and let me know when they enter Hedong."

"...Master wants to meet the two brothers Cui Ling and Cui Zhu in person?"

Lu Benfu was obviously reluctant.

But Lu Kuang nodded:
"Otherwise, what can we do? We all know that I'm in Hedong, and we all know that I did this. If we shrink back at this time, the two brothers will think I'm afraid of them!...Go get ready."

"……Yes."

Although he was reluctant, Lu Bianfu nodded and quickly retreated.

Lu Kuang was the only one left in the study.

He sat on the chair, drank the tea in his hand, and suddenly sighed:

"Why do you need to do so much... Be your Qigui in Luoyang... Isn't it good?"

After speaking, he sighed deeply:
"Ugh……"

……

Cui's Fubo army walked for two days in Jiangjun. Although it was not a quick march, it did not delay.

Then, after passing Wenxi on the third day, they entered the territory of Hedong.

"Ahead is Xia County, right?"

Cui Ling rode on the horse and said to Cui Zhu who was beside him while leading the way.

Cui Zhu nodded:
"Well, after crossing Xia County, Fu County is just a few tens of miles away. That boy Lu Laoqi has been huddled in Fu County... I don't know if he will dare to show his face this time!"

Cui Ling smiled slightly, not surprised by his younger brother's disdainful attitude.

People from aristocratic families, especially those of the same generation, will inevitably be brought out for comparison.

Who is the arrogance of heaven, and who is the ordinary person who lives a mediocre life.

Everyone has their own friends and unhappy "enemies" in other families.

Among those in the Lu family, the younger brother was the only one who had trouble with Lu Kuang.

As for the reason... maybe it was because when I was a child, I waited for someone to visit Lu's house, and when I went to play in the river, my younger brother pushed Lu Kuang into the river and was besieged by other people?Or Lu Kuang cried and told his family about being held in the river by his younger brother...

No matter what the reason is, my younger brother suffered from the board.

So for so many years, I still can't forget the pain in my buttocks when I was a child.

He didn't plan to take care of it, because this was his own younger brother.

But because of his family, it's not easy to boost his prestige... Anyway, even if Lu Kuang came, he would not let his younger brother meet with him, as long as there was no conflict.

Having said that, as long as Lu Kuang comes, it means that the Cui family has won the game.

Isn't it normal for a winner to accept the "surrender" of a loser.

So, soon, the team passed through Xia County.

Continue to walk towards Yujiao.

They have been delayed for some time, a little later than the scheduled time.

Fortunately, the road in Hedong is much easier than the twists and turns in Jiangjun. In addition, the team is all riding horses and camels, and the speed is not slow.

After catching the setting sun, they arrived at the boundary of Fu County.

Soon, the flying eye messengers who were discharged also brought news.

There is a team of convoys flying the flag of the Lu family waiting on the side of the road ahead, and they have already given their identities as Lu Shi Lu Kuang.

After a day's journey, Cui Zhu, who was a little sleepy, immediately regained his energy.

And at this moment, Cui Ling said:

"Second, you stay here, little nineteen, come with me."

After speaking, he rode his horse forward.

And the other general, who was more like a literati although he was wearing armor, was about to step forward, but was suddenly stopped by an arm.

Cui Zhu shook his head:

"Little Nineteen, don't fight with your brother."

"..."

The middle-aged man is speechless:
"Brother Twelve, don't mess around, haven't we all discussed it, Brother Twelve stays in the army..."

"Little Nineteen!"

Cui Zhu looked at him seriously:
"When Cui Laoqi saw Cui Ling, he knew that I would definitely be here. I was here, but I didn't dare to see him. Do you want me to be laughed at by him in the future as a shrinking turtle?"

"..."

Middle-aged people are dumbfounded.

Such a big matter...how can you be so angry with a child when it comes to your mouth?
But Cui Zhu rode his horse directly and chased after Cui Ling.

The middle-aged man wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't say anything to remind Cui Ling, who had already run to the front, to "change people"...

Forget it, Brother Twelve wants to go... just go.

That's right.

If the seven sons of the Lu family know that the twelfth brother is coming, but dare not see him... that would be a bit embarrassing.

That's it.

He shook his head and led the team to move on.

And when Cui Zhu caught up with Cui Ling, Cui Ling realized that it was him who came, and was taken aback:
"Why are you here? Didn't you let you stay in the army?"

"Brother, if I don't show up, will Lu Laoqi think that I'm afraid of him?"

"..."

Cui Ling was also speechless, and said with a wry smile:

"It's been a long time, why are you still acting like a child?"

Cui Zhu had a good time:
"Go, go, brother, my brother has passed! Drive!"

The war horse turned into an afterimage in a gust of wind, and rushed forward.

"Hey you..."

Seeing that his younger brother ran faster than himself, Cui Ling had no choice but to not stop him, and also urged the horse to chase after his younger brother.

All the way forward for three miles.

Finally, the two riders saw the caravan at the sentinel.

Just beside the official road, there is a line of mules and horses, but there are no coachmen.

Seeing this scene, Cui Ling understood what the Lu family meant.

A stone fell from the bottom of my heart.

but……

Or say that the same rice feeds hundreds of people.

Cui Zhu also saw this team, but... what he cared more about was the middle-aged man riding a horse and standing beside the official road.

The moment he saw Lu Kuang, there was a strange smile on his face that could not be described as pleasant, but almost cruel.

then……

The soaring momentum rose suddenly!

It is derived from the killing intent and iron blood passed down from generation to generation by the three thousand volts of the Bo army, as well as the arrogance of Jiang Taigong, who was in charge of the magic whip back then, to seal the world!
The two temperaments mixed together, forming an illusion that made people feel depressed and oppressed.

"..."

Cui Ling from behind sighed helplessly.

How old are you.

Still playing this set.

Really are……

……

Naturally, Lu Kuang could also feel this aura. He also looked at Cui Zhu who was getting closer and closer, and there was also a trace of fighting spirit mixed with a trace of anger in his eyes.

But in the end, as the distance got closer, the boiling emotions disappeared.

Instead, there was an unmoving silence.

"Hahahaha, isn't this brother Lu Shi? It's been a long time."

Before people arrive, the sound goes first.

When Cui Zhu's voice sounded, Lu Kuang got off his horse with a polite and appropriate smile on his face, and took two steps forward:

"It turns out that Brother Cui Zhuxian has arrived. I don't know who is so aggressive. It seems that Brother Cui has improved a lot in cultivation."

Don't look at the sarcasm in and out of Cui Zhu's words, but the etiquette is not lacking.

When Lu Kuang dismounted, he dismounted too.

After the two greeted each other, Cui Zhu said:

"I met Lu Shixiong. I don't know why Shixiong appeared here? But who are you waiting for?"

"..."

Looking at Cui Zhu who knew what to ask, Lu Kuang smiled politely:

"Of course I'm waiting for the two virtuous brothers. I got the news two days ago that the two virtuous brothers have arrived in Linfen. I have counted the date and come here to greet you today. After all, I haven't seen you two for a long time, so I have come here. I don't see each other, but my brother doesn't understand etiquette."

He also saw Cui Ling.

After Cui Zhu heard this, he laughed again:
"Haha, Brother Shi is too polite. But..."

Suddenly he changed the subject:
"I heard that the east of the river is not peaceful recently. I will see you when I come to see you. Why do you still carry these things? Are you afraid of being robbed by some thieves?"

"Second brother."

At this time, Cui Ling got off his horse, and after hearing this, he stopped his younger brother's mouth, and greeted Lu Kuang:

"I have seen my brother."

And Lu Kuang pretended he didn't hear Cui Zhu's words, with a calm and peaceful scene on his face:

"Brother Ling, long time no see."

Compared to Cui Zhu's "virtuous younger brother", he called Cui Ling in a more cordial tone.

"It's been a hard journey. Brother, I've already prepared a little wine in Fu County. It's getting late today. How about inviting everyone from the Cui family to Fu County to rest for the night?"

"Brother Shi, you are welcome."

Cui Ling hurriedly refused, but before the voice of refusal could speak, Cui Zhu suddenly said:
"That's right, I can't eat this wine. After all, the river east has not been peaceful recently. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I have to go to Yu Qun as soon as possible. Otherwise... what if the news leaks out and some thieves ambushed me again?"

"..."

Lu Kuang didn't answer.

But Cui Ling frowned.

This time, my brother went too far.

Lu Laoqi was obviously being polite. If he really wanted to keep people, he wouldn't be waiting here with these caravans.

It's inappropriate for you to say that.

So he said directly:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense here. There are only a lot of elder brothers, and you are not as knowledgeable as you. If you are so unsteady, you will lose your family!"

"Brother Ling, don't do this."

At this time, Lu Kuang smiled and waved his hands:
"My virtuous brother has always been quick to speak, but his mind is not bad..."

"Thank you, brother, I'm not surprised. But... what he said just now is also good, we are indeed on a mission, and we have to go to Yuqiang first. Let's drink this wine next time, what do you think, brother?"

Anyway, it was just a polite way of saying, after the goal was achieved, Lu Kuang nodded:

"That's good... But, I know that everyone has worked hard all the way. In addition, there is a lot of construction work on Yujiao's side. Brother's ability is limited here, so I can only prepare some food, grass and goods, and a map of the distribution of refugees in the east of the river, and give them to the two of you." Brother, take them back together. Cui and Lu’s family have been friends for generations, this is a small gesture for my brother. Please don’t refuse..."

"How can this be..."

Cui Ling and Lu Kuang began to be polite.

You are polite, I am polite.

In fact, what is going on with this car is clear to everyone.

Grain and grass are all empty heads, trivial matters.

The most important thing is the distribution map of the refugees.

This is the "apology" of the Lu family.

So Cui Ling was really happy.

And even more happy is Cui Zhu.

He and Lu Kuang naturally didn't get along, seeing each other's deflated look at the moment, regardless of whether their age was suitable or not, they both felt happy.

And after the courtesies were over, the team arrived.

The two got on their horses again, and prepared to move on with the received grain carts.

Sorry for that, it's time to part.

Originally...just walk.

But I don't know what Cui Zhu was thinking. After Xiao Nineteen finished meeting with Lu Kuang and the team started to move again, he walked about ten steps on the horse and suddenly looked at the middle-aged man next to him. The man spoke in a moderate voice, but could be clearly heard by Lu Kuang:

"Hey, I heard that the gang of thieves didn't even see our family, so they were dealt with by the landlord and the two of them... Such a weak native chicken and dog are worthy of tossing in this river?"

"..."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed.

Cui Ling was also stunned...

This word...

Before he could react, the middle-aged man instinctively turned around.

As expected, Lu Kuang's expression...

It has completely cooled down.
