Chapter 225 Investigating the Chief Rudder of Liufentang (Please subscribe!)
Lu Yan and Zhuge Zheng and I drank tea and chatted until late at night before they were led by Zhui Ming to rest in their guest room.

Go back to the room.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan and asked, "You seem to like chatting with Lord Zhuge?"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Shenhou Zhuge knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. He is a rare genius."

"Chatting with him will not make people feel boring, but also feel very interesting, people look forward to meeting him next time."

Xie Zhuoyan was a little curious, and asked, "According to what you said, Lord Zhuge is definitely a good friend."

"In this case, why are there so many enemies?"

Lu Yan smiled and replied, "That's because most of Zhuge Shenhou's enemies are greedy."

"If Lord Zhuge is as greedy as they are, and collude with others, then I can guarantee that Lord Zhuge will definitely become their best friend."

"To put it simply, without considering other factors, if you just chat, Zhuge Shenhou will be the friend everyone wants to make."

Xie Zhuoyan asked again: "What about you?"

"Me?" Lu Yan shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to become friends with some people."

After saying that Lu Yan opened the bag, he took out a set of night clothes.

Xie Zhuoyan also took out a set of night clothes.

They are going to visit the main rudder of Liufentang.

Familiarize yourself with the terrain first, so as not to be in a hurry when you don't even know the way to save people.

After the two changed their clothes, they opened the door and went out.

Just when the two were about to leave Shenhou Mansion quietly, they accidentally saw Zhui Ming drinking alone on the courtyard wall.

Seeing the two people coming, Zhui Ming said with a smile: "Uncle Shi knows that you will visit the main rudder of Liufentang at night, so he specially asked me to wait here and lead the way for you."

Lu Yan took off his scarf and said with a smile, "That's really great."

……

After a quarter of an hour.

Lu Yan and his party quietly came to the main rudder of Liufentang.

There are watchtowers standing on all sides of the main rudder of the six and a half hall.

There are four sentries on each sentry tower in charge of guarding.

They stood on a high place and looked down condescendingly. Even wearing night clothes, it might be difficult to avoid the sight of these people.

"How did you sneak in before?"

Lu Yan glanced at Zhui Ming and asked curiously.

The main rudder of Liufentang is so heavily guarded, it is really not an easy thing to sneak in.

Zhui Ming looked at the sentry towers, frowned slightly and said, "In the past, the main rudder of Liufentang didn't have these four sentry towers. They should have been built recently."

Hearing this, Lu Yan turned his gaze to the nearest sentry tower again and observed it carefully.

As expected, it was found that the traces on these sentry towers were still very new, and they should have been built only in the last two days.

He pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that Liu Fen Ban Tang was worried that someone would sneak into the main rudder to find Guan Qi, so he built these four sentry towers."

Zhui Ming nodded and said, "There is only this possibility."

Lu Yan continued to observe the situation of the main rudder of Liufenbantang.

Soon he discovered that besides the four sentry towers on the surface, there were dozens of other hidden stakes.

It is difficult even for him to sneak into the main rudder of Liufentang under such a heavily guarded situation.

Today is destined to return without success.

"Let's retreat first."

"If you act rashly, I'm afraid you will startle the snake, and it will be difficult to sneak in later."

Xie Zhuoyan made a proposal.

They are there to save people, not just to break into the main rudder of Liufentang.

If you try now, once you fail, it will be difficult to dive in next time.

Lu Yan and Zhuiming nodded slightly, ready to turn and leave.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew across the sky from a distance, and rushed straight to the main rudder of Liufentang!

drop!
A sharp whistle sounded.

In the next moment, several figures jumped into the air in the darkness, blocking this figure.

Whoosh!
A fine steel crossbow bolt as thick as an arm shot out from the six-and-a-half hall main rudder, piercing through the figure's chest, blood spattering!

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Lu Yan and the others changed slightly!
"I recognize him, it's Shangguan Youyun!"

With a low cry, Zhui Ming recognized the identity of the intruder.

Shangguan Youyun is one of the five evil gods in the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower, the realm of the unparalleled Grand Master.

He happened to be outside when the Golden Wind and Rain Building was blown up, and escaped the catastrophe.

After hearing the news, he rushed back immediately, intending to forcibly break into the head of Liufentang to assassinate Lei Chun and avenge the dead brothers.

But he didn't expect that besides the four sentry towers on the bright side, the main rudder of Liufentang actually had hidden stakes.

So much so that he was ambushed and shot through with an arrow.

Lu Yan glanced at the body that fell to the ground, and said in a low voice, "It's hopeless, let's go."

This arrow can penetrate even a walker, let alone a unparalleled master.

Right now Shangguan Youyun is hopeless, there is no need to expose their whereabouts in order to snatch Shangguan Youyun's body, the loss outweighs the gain.

If Shangguan Youyun still had breath, knowing that they came here to save Su Mengzhen, he definitely didn't want them to be exposed just like that.

Zhui Ming also knows that the best choice right now is not to show up, but to retreat silently.

Looking at Shangguan Youyun's body, he swore silently that he would avenge Shangguan Youyun in the future!
……

God Hou House.

Lu Yan sat at the table with a blueprint in front of him.

This is the peripheral layout of the Six and a Half Hall that he just drew.

Four sentry towers, dozens of hidden stakes, and extremely accurate crossbow arrows even in the dark.

These things, which they have explored tonight, will prevent them from sneaking into Six and a Half Hall.

"I need to know their switch times."

Lu Yan whispered to himself.

Whether it's the switching time of the sentry tower or the switching time of the hidden stake, we must find out clearly.

Xie Zhuoyan came over, put a cloak on Lu Yan, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest first."

Lu Yan nodded slightly, and sighed helplessly.

Originally, in his plan, he wanted to forcefully break into the main rudder of Liufenbantang and rescue Su Mengzhen by force.

But Guan Qi's sudden appearance was completely out of his plan.

Forcibly breaking in knowing that Guan Qi is in the main rudder of Liufentang, it is really not much different from sending him to death.

So he had no choice but to change his strategy, from breaking in to sneaking in.

But it seems that this infiltration is not a simple matter.

What a headache.

……

The next day.

Lu Yan slept until the sun was high before lazily getting up.

At this time, Xie Zhuoyan had been practicing swordsmanship in the yard for a long time.

After Lu Yan washed up, he moved a stool and sat under the sun watching Xie Zhuoyan practice his sword.

With a bowl of rice porridge in his left hand and a piece of meat pie in his right, he was eating breakfast casually.

"I've never visited Bianjing before, let's go for a stroll today."

Xie Zhuoyan put away her sword, came to Lu Yan's side with a smile, and wanted to arrange today's itinerary.

Lu Yan thought for a while and replied, "Yes."

Xie Zhuoyan immediately said joyfully after hearing the words: "Then I'll go change my clothes."

Soon, Xie Zhuoyan changed into brand new clothes.

It is still dominated by black, with red rims embellished, which is neat and heroic.

After Lu Yan finished his breakfast, he washed his hands and went out with Xie Zhuoyan.

Although Wuxi City is also extremely prosperous.

But compared with Bianjing, which is the capital, it pales in comparison.

Bianjing is huge and extremely spacious.

From the street to the shops on both sides of the street, they are all extremely atmospheric.

At this time, people were coming and going on the street, and it seemed very lively.

Xie Zhuoyan moved briskly through it, and was extremely curious about everything she encountered.

"Eat a bunch of candied haws, sweet and sour."

Xie Zhuoyan bought a bunch of candied haws, and soon set her sights on Tang Hua not far away.

"Do you think this sugar painter can draw a picture of you? I will eat you in one bite."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "I'm so handsome and unrestrained, it's a bit difficult to draw, but I can help you draw another me by myself."

After saying that, Lu Yan walked to the front of the sugar painting booth, handed the boss a piece of silver, and made a painting himself.

But rather than painting, it would be better to say that he directly used sugar to make a candy stick with a diameter of more than one inch and a length of six inches.

Lu Yan handed the candy stick to Xie Zhuoyan, and said with a smile: "You remember what you promised me, you can practice with this first."

Xie Zhuoyan was still wondering what Lu Yan was doing.

After hearing Lu Yan's words, she understood what Lu Yan meant almost instantly.

She blushed, gave Lu Yan a hard look, and said, "Master Li must be familiar with this, or you can go to her directly!"

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help thinking about a question seriously.

If it's a verbal acquaintance, you shouldn't get sick, right?

"Hey, you really want to do this!"

Seeing Lu Yan's serious thinking, Xie Zhuoyan suddenly became angry.

Lu Yan came back to his senses, shook his head quickly, and said, "I was just thinking about something, you misunderstood me."

Xie Zhuoyan gave Lu Yan a blank look, then turned her head away, talking silently.

But after a while, Xie Zhuoyan took the candy stick out of his mouth and said, "Eating too much candy will make your tooth hurt."

Lu Yan nodded in agreement, and said, "I will also eat less sugar in the future, so as not to hurt your tooth."

Xie Zhuoyan thought about it seriously, and always felt that there was something wrong with Lu Yan's words, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

The two wandered around all morning, and at noon they randomly found a restaurant for dinner.

In this restaurant, there is a storyteller with white hair and long hair, who is telling the story of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" vividly at this time, and the audience is listening with great interest.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at the old man who was talking about the book, and asked Lu Yan, "How does it feel to hear someone talk about your book?"

Lu Yan thought about it seriously, and replied, "It's a very honored feeling."

"Guest officers, this is your dish, please use it slowly."

During the conversation, the waiter in the shop defeated a plate of Babao chicken in front of Lu Yan.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at the Babao Chicken, and said with some doubts: "It seems that we didn't order this Babao Chicken?"

Lu Yan also asked, "Did you make a mistake?"

The waiter smiled and said, "It's not wrong, this is what the girl over there ordered for the two of you."

As he spoke, the waiter pointed to a table not far away.

A veiled, graceful woman sat there.

Seeing Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan looking over, she nodded slightly at them.

"Who is this girl?"

Lu Yan looked at this woman curiously. He should have never met her before, otherwise he would have some impressions.

The woman took off her veil, revealing a charming face, and said softly: "Little girl Fu Wanqing, I met Mr. Lu."

When Lu Yan heard the name "Fu Wanqing", he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

If he remembered correctly, this Fu Wanqing seemed to be the daughter of Prime Minister Fu Zongshu.

It was a very strange thing that such a woman with a subtle identity suddenly appeared in front of him and even offered to show her favor.

"We don't seem to have met before. How did Miss Fu recognize my identity?"

Lu Yan asked curiously.

Fu Wanqing smiled slightly, and said: "The little girl has heard of Mr. Lu's name a long time ago, and has seen Mr. Lu's portrait, so she recognized Mr. Lu's identity."

After hearing Fu Wanqing's explanation, Lu Yan didn't think there was anything unreasonable.

When he was a storyteller, there were many painters who painted his portraits. It is not surprising that one or two volumes of portraits would be handed down to Fu Wanqing.

Fu Wanqing looked at Xie Zhuoyan again, and said, "I've heard that Mr. Lu's wife is extremely beautiful, but seeing her now, she really deserves her reputation."

Xie Zhuoyan said with a smile, "Miss Fu, you are also very beautiful."

Lu Yan didn't want to chat more with Fu Wanqing, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Miss Fu for your kindness."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, he should eat and drink, completely ignoring the existence of Fu Wanqing.

When Fu Wanqing saw this scene, the expression on her face became a little subtle.

She thought that Lu Yan would take the initiative to invite her to have a meal and chat with her, but she didn't expect Lu Yan to be like an idiot, just say thank you and it's over.

Is it because Xie Zhuoyan is on the side, so I feel embarrassed?
Fu Wanqing thought for a while, and then offered to propose: "I wonder if I can have a drink with Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yan glanced at Fu Wanqing who wanted to get close to him, and said with a smile, "In that case, Miss Fu might as well come and sit down."

Fu Wanqing smiled and said, "Being obedient is worse than being respectful."

Fu Wanqing got up and walked over, sat down gracefully, her body was fragrant.

She raised her glass and said, "I would like to toast Mr. Lu."

Lu Yan raised his glass and drank it down.

Fu Wanqing looked at Lu Yan, and asked curiously: "I heard that Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, from Fan Lou once invited Mr. Lu to Fan Lou to have a talk. I wonder if Mr. Lu can agree?"

Lu Yan replied: "Yes, I will go tonight."

Hearing Lu Yan's answer, Fu Wanqing subconsciously glanced at Xie Zhuoyan.

Xie Zhuoyan said with a smile, "I'll go too, and keep an eye on him by the way."

Fu Wanqing smiled and said, "Madam Lu is also a wonderful person."

Speaking of which, Fu Wanqing turned her gaze to Lu Yan again, and continued: "It is rumored that Li Shishi is the number one beauty in our Great Song Dynasty. Falling for it."

"Mr. Lu is really lucky to be invited by her."

"I just wonder if Mr. Lu can take the little girl to see the demeanor of Miss Li?"

Lu Yan asked in surprise, "You want to go too?"

Fu Wanqing nodded slightly, and said, "If Mr. Lu thinks it's too weird to bring me along, he can also invite the four famous arresters together."

Lu Yan smiled, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll invite Wu Qing, Zhui Ming and Leng Xue to meet this Master Li tonight."

Fu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, where is Tie Shou?
Such a big iron hand, why did you miss it?

Lu Yan looked at Fu Wanqing playfully, and asked, "Why, Miss Fu is thinking, why did I miss the iron hand?"

Fu Wanqing blushed when she heard the words, and quickly shook her head to defend, "No, I didn't. I'm just curious why Mr. Lu didn't invite Tie Shou."

Lu Yan deliberately sighed, and said, "Among the four famous arresters, I don't like Iron Hand the least."

"If there is a chance, maybe I will kill him!"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Fu Wanqing's expression changed suddenly!
Although Iron Hand is also extremely powerful, but after all, he is only the Grand Master of Wushuang.

And Lu Yan was rumored to have killed a celestial being. If Lu Yan wanted to kill Tie Shou, wouldn't Tie Shou be very dangerous? !

Lu Yan looked at Fu Wanqing's extremely ugly face, smiled playfully, and asked, "Miss Fu seems to be very worried about the safety of Tie Shou?"

Fu Wanqing is not an idiot either, she can see it now, Lu Yan clearly said that on purpose, teasing her!

She pursed her lips, and replied: "I really care about Iron Hands, and I ask Mr. Lu not to make such jokes casually."

When Lu Yan heard Fu Wanqing's frank admission of his feelings for Tie Shou, the expression on his face inevitably became a little subtle.

Fu Wanqing is the daughter of Fu Zongshu and the prime minister.

And Tie Shou is the four famous arresters of the Shenhou Mansion. In terms of relationship, he and Fu Zongshu are absolute enemies.

Therefore, it is impossible for Fu Wanqing and Tie Shou to get together no matter what.

This relationship will eventually become a bad relationship.

Just don't know where Gu Xichao is now?

Thinking of this, Lu Yan shook his head, and said to Fu Wanqing: "Miss Fu, I know your identity, and you should also know that you and Tie Shou are impossible."

Fu Wanqing's face turned pale when she heard this.

As the prime minister's daughter, although she has been well protected, she has heard of some things.

She also knew that her father and Zhuge Shenhou were political enemies.

As the disciple of Zhuge Shenhou, Tie Shou would never fall in love with her no matter what.

She shouldn't have liked Iron Hand either.

But things like emotions are really out of control.

Lu Yan said to Fu Wanqing very seriously: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. When it is time to stop, it is broken. If you are hesitant, you will suffer from it."

Fu Wanqing bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, and her face looked extremely struggling.

She also knew that Lu Yan was right.

Knowing that this relationship will not have any results, continuing to persevere has no meaning other than making myself painful and moving myself.

However, she was really not reconciled.

"I want to... give it another try."
