Domineering lord I fall in love

Longpan Lin'an Mansion (23)

Duan Xiaolou ate breakfast, followed Luo Sheng to feed the goldfish in the pond, and saw her sneak into the study as usual, and it seemed that she would not be able to get out for half a day.

Along the way, apart from Yuzhu'er and her maids, almost all the people serving in the inn were men, and the guards led by Lu Li didn't like to talk to outsiders, so Duan Xiaolou had to review recent events. The Xiangyun Inn and Biyuntian were attacked, and then came to Lin'an Mansion, met with Huang Yinchu, and supervised the Lin'an Yamen at the same time, things happened intermittently along the way, but what did King Tang come to Lin'an for?

"Come in." When Duan Xiaolou passed by the door of the study room eighteen times and probed for the ninth time, Luo Sheng finally called Duan Xiaolou in with a smile.

"You're wandering around outside, what's the matter?" Luo Sheng looked at Duan Xiaolou, always with a smile on his face, very gentle, Duan Xiaolou wasn't so scared anymore, rubbing his hands Rubbed his hands and asked out.

"Hey, Luo Sheng, I don't quite understand what happened along the way. What is the purpose of your southern tour?"

"Do you know that there is Xiangyang Mountain [-] miles south of Lin'an Mansion, where bandits are entrenched?" Luo Sheng always likes to test Duan Xiaolou while explaining.

"I know, I've heard it for many years!" After Duan Xiaolou came to Lin'an, he heard a lot of bits and pieces. The Xiangyang Mountain bandits have been around for more than ten years, right?

"Over the years, the Lin'an Mansion has suppressed the bandits several times. Instead of completely clearing them up, fugitives and idlers from all walks of life have gathered in Xiangyang Mountain!"

"How did this happen...the more you suppressed, the stronger you became? Is there something wrong with the general who suppressed the bandits?"

"The person who took the lead in suppressing the bandits has been replaced several times, but the news will be leaked every time. When Xiangyang Mountain hears the news, they will scatter and flee into the mountains and forests. It is difficult to find their traces. After a while, they gather again. These bandits are disturbing the people. , Robbery, but the Lin'an Mansion is still unable to pay it off."

"How could the news leak out, there are people like them in Lin'an Mansion?"

"There are people in Lin'an Mansion who have been supporting them all the time, who are able to support this group of bandits...there are only four of them."

"You mean the Fourth Young Master of Lin'an?" There are bandits who can protect Xiangyang Mountain and escape from bandit suppression time and time again, so someone must have intentionally raised them. "Then you don't need to go there yourself. You can directly transfer an army from another place. Are you afraid that you won't be able to destroy them?"

"Among them is Meng Anji's old department." Luo Sheng looked down at Duan Xiaolou.

"Ah?" Duan Xiaolou almost stood up immediately.

Luo Sheng looked at Duan Xiaolou, chuckled, Duan Xiaolou was a little embarrassed, scratched his face, and hurriedly approached, "The people who rebelled back then escaped?"

"It's the remnants of Yuan Wang's rebellion." Luo Sheng turned his head, his face showing anger, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"So you suspect that Lin'an still retains the power of rebellion..."

"If it's just an ordinary banditry, it's fine, but someone in Lin'an has obviously raised a group of martial artists with two hearts in the name of bandits in Xiangyang Mountain, and their intentions are to be punished!" Luo Sheng was so angry that he hammered the wooden table with one hand, "Kang!" Duan Xiaolou was startled when he heard the sound, he stretched out his hand to grab Luo Sheng's fist, rubbed it in his hand and asked, "Don't hurt yourself if you are angry."

"I'm not as delicate as you think, but thinking about these things, I can't hold back my anger." Luo Sheng held Duan Xiaolou with his backhand, and smiled apologetically at her.

"Although I didn't understand before, but now you tell me that I will remember, and I will know what to do when I encounter this situation in the future. I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I can always help with the affairs of the world. , you have something on your mind, and it’s uncomfortable to always keep your anger in your heart, so just tell me.” Duan Xiaolou opened his big eyes and looked at Luo Sheng full of worry, such a big matter has been kept in his heart , What should I do if I'm suffocated?

"How much did your brother tell you?" Luo Sheng just wanted to laugh when he heard the little girl's words. He didn't know if it was true, but his concern was also true.

"I didn't say anything, just said that he was investigating the Biyuntian fire and found that three groups of people did it together. The Xiangyang Mountain bandits you mentioned, and the Night Rain Tower and the Dark Flower Villa. As far as I know, the Night Rain Tower is easy to explain. If you have money, you can kill people. I really don’t know about Dark Flower Villa. I only know that they have always been against Zhujian Villa. But didn’t Zhujian Villa help the imperial court to build magical weapons? Later, the imperial court banned civilians from making weapons, and they also She just disappeared, and she hasn't appeared in Jianghu for many years..." Duan Xiaolou scratched her ears, because she knew a lot of Jianghu legends, but she couldn't be sure.

"Several secret methods of making weapons are hidden in Jianjian Villa. The court once wanted to recruit them, but they were unwilling to hand over the secret methods..."

"So you destroyed Sword Forging Villa?"

Luo Sheng rolled his eyes at Duan Xiaolou, then pinched Duan Xiaolou's nose and said, "You don't think that the court is free to copy people every day, do you? If it is not necessary, we will not easily move any force, especially It is Zhujian Villa who are so masters like clouds can stabilize the forces in the Jianghu."

"Then how did you do it?"

"The imperial court reached an agreement with Zhujian Villa. Zhujian Villa will continue to undertake the task of casting special weapons, but must stop all transactions with Jianghu organizations."

"They agreed?" After hearing this, Xiaolou felt inconceivable.

"I agree." Luo Sheng smiled and nodded.

"But... I always feel that there are some places that are very strange. They have retired from the world and do not make deals with other organizations. How can they survive, as monks who practice hermitism?"

"Of course not. In addition to undertaking the task of making special weapons, they will also undertake some secret tasks of the imperial court. Many people will hide their identities and walk in the rivers and lakes, continuing to fight against the dark flower villa."

"It means they are doing things for the court? What if they don't agree?"

"Although Zhujian Villa is full of masters, it can't resist the pressure of the army, let alone..." Luo Sheng smiled at this point, and stretched out his hand to Duan Xiaolou's cheek without continuing, Duan Xiaolou listened seriously , with a "hiss", withdrew his hand to cover his cheek, and said coquettishly, "You speak well, why are you playing tricks on me again!"

"Didn't Duan Qing tell you this?"

"He? He always treats me like a child and avoids me in many things. Tell me, okay?" Duan Xiaolou pouted, and began to act coquettishly at Luo Sheng. Xiao Lou pulled it into his arms and continued to explain.

"In short, now that the Dark Flower Villa has colluded with the Xiling barbarians several times since it lost the trace of the Zhujian Villa, and Yeyulou, have you ever wondered why a notorious killer organization with countless blood on its hands has not been recruited by the various sects? Siege?"

"Didn't it mean that their martial arts are very high and their operations are classified...and, besides, no one knows where their headquarters is, it's very mysterious?"

"There are two top assassin organizations in Jianghu. One is Yeyulou, which is responsible for killing people. If you have money, you can buy a head. Everyone in Jianghu fears them, but they don't know that the five people codenamed 'Greedy Snake' are even more powerful. The organization is all gathered by the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and they are all aimed at a single goal."

"How do you know this so clearly?" Duan Xiaolou blinked, he had never heard of "greedy snake". As the prince of the court, how could Luo Sheng know this?

"Because, whether it's Yeyulou or Greedy Snake, they have come to assassinate this king more than once."

Luo Sheng was still smiling, but Duan Xiaolou couldn't hold back his smile anymore, he pulled Luo Sheng nervously and said, "Is there really nothing you can do about them?"

"Of course there is a way, but if you cut the weeds and don't get rid of the roots, the spring wind blows and regenerates. I want to uproot the forces behind them. Yeyulou has already found out that the funds are provided by the Xiling clan, and the court officials are covering them, and the greedy snake is a hidden flower." An order from the Villa. The background of the Night Rain Tower has been ascertained, and it is only a matter of time before the liquidation, but the background behind the Anhua Villa is still unclear."

"It makes sense for Yeyu Tower to assassinate you for money and for the Xiling tribe, but why is Anhua Villa?"

"Twenty years ago, they assassinated the princes for King Yuan." Luo Sheng was thoughtful, but Duan Xiaolou couldn't stop asking.

"Then, they were so powerful before, why, in the end, let the shadow kill you, you only have this scar on your body!"

"Have you memorized it all?" Luo Sheng squinted and smiled, Duan Xiaolou immediately blushed.

After seeing Luo Sheng's whole body clearly and feeling it all over to make sure there was only a scar or something, I was so embarrassed that I buried my face in Luo Sheng's arms.

Luo Sheng stretched out his hand and patted Duan Xiaolou's back, and continued, "I didn't want to tell you about this matter at first, the involvement is too wide, the root cause is too deep, and many things are not clear yet, it will take time to deal with it , but if you want to ask, I'll tell you."

"I was in the capital, and besides the personal guards, the emperor sent other masters and people from Zhujian Villa to protect. Ye Yulou and Greedy Snake suffered heavy casualties in several assassinations, so they organized more than ten people from Ye Yu and Greedy Snake The main force acted as a cover, while the shadow acted alone and did not contact them. He has extremely high martial arts skills, Lu Li is not his opponent, and the masters in the mansion are all entangled by Ye Yulou's main force, so he almost rushed all the way to me."

"Why did he kill you?"

"He heard people say that I took bribes to cover up corrupt officials, so there was no place to redress the Jiangmen massacre."

"What is the Jiangmen massacre?"

"Six years ago, a large family surnamed Li in Jiangmen was robbed and robbed. Not only was the whole family killed, the women were insulted, but the whole house was also burned down. 26 people died, but the local government refused to investigate in detail. Headless case."

"What does this have to do with you?"

"This family has a family heirloom called the Millennium Nuanyu, which is said to be able to cure all diseases and keep warm all the year round. , Gai has committed injustice because of his greed for rare treasures."

"Then..." Duan Xiaolou listened and thought for a while before asking, "Is what you collected the Millennium Nuanyu?"

"It's just a piece of ordinary jasper. I can use the tribute from the treasury. Besides, I'm not good at gold and jade. How could I commit such a thing for a piece of jade?"

"But isn't this millennium Nuanyu a treasure that can cure all diseases?"

"I never believe in such nonsense, even if it is true, everything in Tang Wang's mansion is a treasure, why bother to be greedy for a piece of jade?"

"You don't believe it, but Shadow does, what should you do?"
