Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 54 Containment
Lu Xiao stared blankly at his old man for a long while, and couldn't help but recall that when he participated in the Jinwu Guard assessment in his previous life, his old man was so earnest and told him:
"Our ancestors were born as military generals, and everything has to be said with fists. Don't expect me to bend the law for your own personal gain. Even if you climb! You have to climb up to the stage for me..."

It's a pity that he was suffering from internal injuries at that time, but he had to bite the bullet and won the first place in the martial arts test, which made his father look good!But when he returned to the mansion, he lay on the couch for three full days before he could get out of bed.

Thinking about this, Lu Xiao suddenly got the job of the Jinwu Guard without any effort today, and now he doesn't feel so happy.

After returning to the house, Gu Yu waited on Lu Xiao to change his clothes. Seeing Lu Xiao was unhappy, he was a little curious and said:
"The son of the world won the son of the Sheng family today, but he let out a bad breath! Why is his face so gloomy?"

Lu Xiao was lying on the couch with his hands behind his head, and he didn't say a word.

Gu Yu was even more surprised:
"Master... Could it be that he was also injured?"

Gu Yu sized Lu Xiao up and saw him lying motionless on the couch, she became more confident in her heart, quietly closed the door, leaned over and asked:
"Master... Could it be that he was hurt in a place that cannot be said...?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Xiao turned his head sharply, and gave Gu Yu a hard look.

Gu Yu shrank her neck in fright and muttered:

"This matter is big or small...Your Majesty, you can't hide it! What if..."

"Just in case!"

Lu Xiao gritted his teeth, sat up abruptly, stared at Gu Yu and said angrily:

"I think you're flustered! Is Bai Lu's affairs settled?"

Gu Yu saw that Lu Xiao's skills were just as usual, and he didn't look different, so he laughed a few times and said:

"Don't worry, my son! You have entered the prime minister's mansion early in the morning, so there will be no trouble!"

Lu Xiao nodded, and still ordered with a dark face:

"If she sends back news in the future, she must let me know as soon as possible."

Gu Yu bowed his hands and said yes, thought for a while, and said:
"Jing Zhe has been secretly following Li Wenxiu of Baichuan Academy, and has not sent back any news for two days...My lord, do you think this will..."

Lu Xiao got up and walked back and forth in the room for two steps, with a cautious look on his face, he said:

"Wait another two days..."

"Awakening Zhe's lightness kung fu is so good, Li Wenxiu's first-year scholar doesn't know martial arts, so he must not be able to detect it. If there is no news in two days, call Han Lu to see me."

Gu Yu withdrew his joking look, and responded.

"Master asked Jing Zhe to come out, is this teacher very unusual?"

These days, Lu Xiao acted uncharacteristically, and Gu Yu asked out of curiosity:

"Master has used a lot of hidden guards recently, even in the palace...Master, do you want to report to Lord Hou first?"

Lu Xiaochui took care of the jade plaque hanging on his belt, raised his eyelids to look like Gu Yu, and said half-threateningly:
"Since the old man promised me someone, how can he use his own master to make the final decision! If you break your mouth again, you will be thrown into the Yayun restaurant! The restaurant there loves people who talk a lot..."

Gu Yu pursed her lips and looked at Lu Xiao aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Lu Xiao stared at him angrily, sat at the table by himself, lifted the teapot, and poured a cup of tea:

"Is there any change in Shengjing today?"

Gu Yu thought about it carefully and said:
"Except for a powder shop in the west of the city, everything in the capital is as usual."

"Powder shop?"

Lu Xiao frowned and looked at Gu Yu:
"Have you checked which name it belongs to?"

Gu Yu said:
"I have arranged for Shenzu to investigate, but there is no answer yet."

Lu Xiao nodded, raised his head and drank a big mouthful of tea.

"Oh! That's right... just now the spies came to report that the people of Prince Chun's son blocked the second son of the Li family in Chang'an Hutong..."

Gu Yu said with a relaxed expression, but Lu Xiao spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Second son of the Li family? You mean Li Pu?"

Lu Xiao coughed several times in a row, his face flushed.

Gu Yu nodded dumbfounded:
"This...how...my son...this matter is very important?"

Lu Xiao got up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, glanced at Gu Yu, and said, "You are so heartless", in the blink of an eye, with a sway of his figure, he walked away.

Gu Yu was left standing there alone with an uneasy expression, muttering in his mouth:
"No...don't you have to report the affairs of Princess Chonghua immediately? This... the second son of the Li family also has to say it?"

The capital was full of people, and he couldn't ride a fast horse. Lu Xiao passed the eaves lightly all the way. He was extremely fast, and the wind was blowing under his feet. Arrived at Chang'an Hutong.

The alley was crowded with people's heads, and Lu Xiao's feet rose and fell a few times before he bent down and saw Li Pu who was surrounded by people.

Li Pu's hair was disheveled, and the corners of his mouth were torn. In front of him, there were only two or three guards of Li's residence to block him, and behind him he raised his hand to protect a half-sized man with a panic-looking face and a small stature.

The alley was full of people from Prince Chun's son. They pushed and shoved the servants of Li's family, cursing and swearing. There was a high wall behind Li Pu and the others, and there was no way to retreat now!

"Who are you! In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare you kidnap people in the street!"

Li Pu's face was ashen, and he seemed a little panicked when facing the sudden gang of villains.

"Do you know who is in my house!"

"Pooh!"

A thug with bared yellow teeth stepped forward from the crowd and spat.This man was so strong that with one hand he pushed the servant standing in front of Li Pu until he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Looking at Li Pu who was firmly protecting Rong Jin behind him, he opened his mouth and laughed loudly:
"I don't care which family you belong to! If you offended your grandpa today, I will use you for entertainment! What can you do to me?"

After saying that, a group of thugs laughed wantonly, and occasionally passers-by outside the alley passed by, and these gangsters were too scared to make a sound, and ran away quickly.

Li Pu turned his head and glanced at the servant who had fallen to the ground with his forehead smashed. His face was covered in blood and he struggled to get up. He still tried his best to protect him. He felt his chest full of hostility and immediately clenched his fists. With red eyes, he shouted loudly:
"My uncle is the prime minister of the court! If you dare to cause trouble in Shengjing, aren't you afraid that your family will join forces!"

Everyone was stunned by his shout, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"Who is standing behind us? Can you still be afraid of his Li family?!"

That yellow tooth spat out another mouthful of thick phlegm, and said with a sneer:
"Today we didn't take his life, we just took off his clothes and trousers, and threw him naked on the street!"

"What? Which one of you has less money first, get out of here early! I get this reward for nothing, so I can live happily in Chunfeng Building for a month!"

As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes were full of greed, and they hurriedly rushed towards Li Pu.

Li Pu knows some martial arts, but he has no choice but to be surrounded by people in a corner, struggling hard, if he insists on going alone first, he can escape, but behind him is Rong Jin, and these loyal servants in the house...

Li Pu couldn't bear it, so he clenched his fists tightly, and when he saw the opportunity, he punched the visitor...

Seeing that Li Pu was about to be captured, Lu Xiao kicked the bricks out of the wall.

There was a muffled "bang", Huang Fang covered his bloody nose, and screamed like a pig:
"Who! Who dares to plot against me!"
