Chapter 310 Xu Ning's Thoughts

"Brother, what shall we do?"

Shi Qian looked at Xu Ning's mansion with the closed gate, and asked Sun Lei.

"Naturally, I will go in and pay a visit, and wait for the Lord to come back."

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the closed vermilion lacquered door and said.

Zhang San quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Brother, shall we go in like this?"

Shi Qian was a little puzzled, they didn't know Xu Ning well, so it might be inappropriate for them to come suddenly.

"We are here to help, the Xu family will definitely welcome us, of course we have to go in!"

Sun Lei nodded, he had to know what Xu Ning was thinking, otherwise how could he help?

Zhang San knocked on the door for a while before someone came to open the door.

"who are you?"

The boy who opened the door looked at Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen and the others and asked suspiciously.

"We are friends of Teacher Xu. We heard that Teacher Xu was in trouble, so we came here to help!"

Sun Lei smiled and said.

"It turned out to be a guest, please come in quickly!"

Hearing this, the servant hurriedly opened the door and invited Sun Lei and the others to enter.

"Brother, since when have we been friends with Teacher Xu?"

Lu Zhi asked in a low voice, rubbing his head deeply.

"You almost killed him and went to the Dianshuai's mansion to save him. Can't you still be friends?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"That's right! Everyone in the world is brothers! Haha!"

Lu Zhishen laughed.

After arriving in the hall and sitting down, the butler had asked the maid to serve fragrant tea and fruit, and told Sun Lei and the others to wait, saying that the host would be back soon.

After sitting for about half an hour, when it was already dark, the head of the Xu family came back. They were Xu Ning's wife and Tang Long. Xu Ning's wife was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, dressed in simple and elegant dresses. It looked like he was used to being pampered, but Tang Long was dressed in normal clothes, with slightly dark skin and a strong figure. He looked like he was doing manual labor.

At this time, Xu Ning's wife's eyes were red, and Tang Long frowned. It seemed that the visit to Xu Ning was not going well.

When the housekeeper saw that the master had come back, he hurried up to explain that a guest had arrived and was entertaining him.

"Thank you for coming to help me, I'm here to thank you!"

Xu Ning's wife paid homage to Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen. He didn't know these people. They just thought they were friends Xu Ning made outside. No one among her friends was willing to lend a helping hand, and now someone took the initiative to help her, and she was very moved.

"Sister-in-law is being polite."

Sun Lei smiled and shook his head.

"A few of you are my cousin's friends, little brother Tang Long, the leopard, and brother Xu Ning's cousin, thank you all here."

Tang Long looked at Sun Lei and the others and said.

"polite!"

Sun Lei still said with a smile.

Seeing that the tea on the table had run out, Xu Ning's wife asked the housekeeper and maid to order new tea and fruit to be replaced quickly, and then invited everyone to sit down.

"I just heard that my sister-in-law went to visit Teacher Xu, what's the situation?"

Sun Lei looked at Mrs. Xu and asked, "It's okay if you don't ask, but when you asked Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, tears couldn't stop streaming down, and she took out a handkerchief and kept wiping it.

"The villain Gao Qi locked my brother in prison. My brother was a man in front of the imperial court. He didn't dare to torture him, so he came up with an evil trick. He cut down on food and gave him only a small bowl of porridge every day. My brother has already died. Weakened by starvation."

Tang Long gritted his teeth and said angrily, patting the armrest of the chair.

"This...Gao Qi...is ruthless enough!"

Sun Lei was speechless for a while, Gao Qiu's vicious tricks are really emerging one after another, Xu Ning is the teacher of the golden gun class before the imperial court, and he often appears before the emperor, Xu Ning has not committed a capital crime, it would be bad if he was injured by a severe punishment I confess that it is different when I am hungry. Xu Ning does not have any scars on his body, but the pain is not weaker than torture.

"It's vicious!"

Lu Zhishen also said angrily that there are many ways to torture people, and hunger is a very vicious kind. People usually don't feel how hard it is to be hungry, but if they really get hungry, it will be worse than death.

Mrs. Xu was even more sad when she heard it, and she couldn't stop crying.

"Teacher Xu didn't say anything? For example, did you give Gao Qiu the golden armor with the yanling ring?"

Sun Lei looked at Mrs. Xu and asked, everything started because of that precious armor, as long as it is given to Gao Qiu, everything will be fine, Xu Ning is still the teacher of the Imperial Golden Spear Class.

"Husband, he...he said that he vowed to die that he would not give the family heirloom to the adulterer."

Mrs. Xu wept.

"Don't want to?"

Sun Lei looked at Mrs. Xu unexpectedly. He was curious about the reason for Xu Ning's persistence. Is a treasure armor more important than life?
"This brother doesn't know something. My elder brother is the most filial and fraternal. The gold armor with Yanling circle is a treasure passed down by the Xu family. Go into battle and kill the enemy! This armor is my elder brother's life, and it is usually sealed in a leather box and hung on the beam in the bedroom. How can I give it to Gao Qiu, a treacherous and greedy person! My elder brother just said that Gao Qiu dare not take it. How about him, when the emperor goes out and thinks of him, he will be fine."

Tang Long opened his mouth and said, Xu Ning regards the golden armor of Yanling Circle as his life, and they have been persuading him for a long time today but he still refuses to let go.

"Is that so?"

Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen exchanged glances.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Tang Long, since Teacher Xu said so, he is confident, but if things change, we will still come to help."

Sun Lei got up and said, Xu Ning wanted to delay until the emperor remembered, that is, he was unwilling to give away the armor and discard all of Tokyo. .

Mrs. Xu and Tang Long continued to thank them again and again, and sent Sun Lei and others out of the house.

"Look, it's not our turn to save you!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen helplessly.

"Hey, what is the role of this useless official?"

Lu Zhi sighed deeply and said, if he could bear it, he would just punch him with his fist.

"After all, Xu Ning is the hereditary teacher of the imperial golden gun class. How can he give up so easily. Maybe the emperor will go out in two days. Without Xu Ning, the guard of honor, Gao Qi will really let him go."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhi and smiled deeply.

"Is it really that simple?"

Lu Zhishen was a little disbelieving, and he could hear a hint of teasing in Sun Lei's tone.

"Of course not! Xu Ning's so-called teacher of the imperial golden gun class is just a teacher. He may be a little taller than Lin Chong, but he can't change his identity. Compared with Gao Qiu, the third-level captain, he is just an ant. Remember Have I said it before? People like Gao Li don't need any deep hatred to kill people, they can just think about it, there is no reason at all, this is an absolute right."

Sun Lei said.

Just like Lin Chong in the original book, who was assassinated in Cangzhou, and his wife was killed by Gao Yanei, Lin Chong never took the initiative to offend Gao Qiu from the beginning to the end. Instead, he endured and gave in, but what happened?Gao Qiu still sent people to kill Lin Chong.There is no reason, just wanting to die, this is the right of the high-ranking person.

Xu Ning thought about the emperor saving him, how could this be possible?A fool like Zhao Ji who only knows how to have fun may remember a little helper who played football with him to make him happy, but he will never remember any loyal guards.

"Then we just leave it alone?"

Lu Zhishen vented his dissatisfaction loudly.
