Chapter 74: The Quiet Beauty of Autumn Leaves (Part 2)

The Shili Pavilion outside Youzhou City is always very lively. Over time, tea shop vendors, travelers carrying Huo Dan, and farmers around carrying fresh vegetables and fruits, spontaneously gathered here, turning this place into a small market.

In a tea pavilion hidden under the shade of the tree, Lu Jiu became more and more irritable when he heard the annoying cicada chirping. The folding fan in his hand kept shaking. His brows were frowned deeply, and his eyes were staring at the direction of the official road not far away.

"My ninth sister! If you take a sip of this iced sour plum soup, you won't be that hot. Why can't you hold back today, who has always been in trouble?"

Aside Lu Jiu, a young man in luxury clothes and fair skin smiled slightly and said to Lu Jiu.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know how hateful that kid is. He has been against me repeatedly, and this time he acted recklessly and actually kidnapped Emil privately for half a year, almost ruining his uncle's major event. When I see him, I will definitely make him look good." Lu Jiu said hatefully.

"A few days ago, you didn't keep praising him, saying that what this person has learned is the Guigu's lingering and lingering technique that has not been revealed for a long time, and is a true talent for governing the country and managing the world. Most of these people are proud and unruly, and they are not easily controlled by you. I heard that he is almost the same age as me, but I really want to see it."

The young man's eyes were shining and he looked at the distance in a steady state.

"Hmph! Eighth brother-in-law, you are less than twenty years old, so you are appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Prefect of Guangyang. You are not comparable to a common scholar." Lu Jiu said disapprovingly.

"Oh! I'm just a little bit of my skills in archery, riding and shooting, and I have inherited my father's mercy. My father has always despised me for being introverted and cowardly, and I don't like me. I can't compare with those young people with real abilities." He sighed, and the young man shook his head, feeling a little depressed.

After a group of people walked around, they were stopped by a team of elite soldiers before they even approached Shili Pavilion, and were then taken to this tea pavilion in the shade of the tree. The tea pavilion was covered with fully armed officers and soldiers, driving irrelevant people far away.

Pei Wuniang and Bai Liangqi were stopped. Lu Lele carefully supported Emil and was taken to the tea pavilion.

Seeing the windy and frosty face and the darkened road, Lu Jiuxin twitched, his fingers holding the teacup became innocent, and his face looked at Lu Lili without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the tea pavilion was bleak and solemn. Emil looked at Lu LeLe and smiled sadly, and slowly knelt down in front of the two people who were sitting on the case, waiting for the fall.

Lu Leye felt sad and knelt down with his wife.

Seeing Emil's slightly raised abdomen, Lu Liya knelt with her with a determined look on his face. A nameless fire rose inexplicably, Lu Jiu clenched his fists, wishing that this pair of dogs would kneel on the ground for the rest of his life.

He was in a stalemate, and I don’t know how long he had been kneeling. Seeing Emil beside him frowning and looking a little painful. Lu Leye couldn’t suppress his anger, and stood up and pointed at Lu Jiu.

"Wang Liuli! I kidnapped Emil, and I committed the mistake. I just came to my way. What's the point of asking her a pregnant woman to kneel down like this for a long time!"

You are so lustful and shameless. You always look gentle and polite in front of other women. But you often shout and yell in front of me. I will hide the identity of your wife Tang Xiaoqi, and the lover of Tianxianlou will help you protect you. This time I kidnapped Emil and caused a big disaster. I was desperately trying to help you get rid of it. Did I owe you what I, Lu Jiu, in my previous life?

Lu Jiu's nose felt sore, and he was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears. He picked up the teacup and threw it towards Lu Lili.

Lu LeLe followed the teacup casually, and didn't even splash a drop of tea, looking at Lu Jiu who was so angry that he was breathing.

"Good Kung Fu!" The young man who had not spoken on the side couldn't help but blurt out and praised.

Seeing the road, he looked at himself suspiciously, and the young man smiled and introduced himself.

.

"In Xia'an Renzhi, the second son of the governor of Fanyang, Mr. An, is temporarily appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Prefect of Guangyang. This time, he came to deal with Emil's escape from the Yang Mansion. Can brothers be the one who is the one whom Mr. Taibin and Mr. Taibai, the second hero in Shu, said to Mr. Taibin and Mr. Taibai, who are the two heroes in Shu."

Lu Leye was shocked. It turned out that this young man who was not outstanding and did not speak was the real person. He couldn't help but protect Emil beside him tightly, looking at An Renzhi with some guilt.

"I am the disciple of the two gentlemen, and now I am the husband of Emil. His father and brother have officially promised her to me, and she is my official wife."

An Renzhi smiled, looked at Lu Lele and said, "I want to ask Miss Emil now if Brother Lu can be more comfortable."

After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel affection for the noble young man who was not arrogant in front of him, and nodded with awkward expression.

"Miss Emil, stand up. If you find out the news, can you tell me?" An Renzhi said with a kind look on his face.

Emil looked at the road with a twisted expression, and looked at the road uneasy, his face turned red for a long time without saying a word.

Lu Lele whispered in her ear: "At present, do you think I will still care about those things? Tell me, no matter what happens, I will face it with you."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Emil raised his head and looked at An Renzhi, narrating with a shameful look.

"One day after the New Year, Yang Zhao, who was drunk, came to my room. He kept laughing and said that he had captured the evidence of Lord An's rebellion. He said that Lord An not only secretly took in the tribes that gathered in the Western Regions to expand his strength, but also secretly purchased large quantities of horses from the Western Regions through the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. What else do you want to do if you are not planning to rebel?

Another day, he asked me to serve him and drink with a guest. I vaguely heard the guest tell him very firmly that the person he wanted to deal with would not last for at most three years.

When I was serving the guest, I pretended to ask unintentionally who would not live for three years. The guest was also drunk and proudly said that it was Li Linfu, the treacherous minister of the Tang Dynasty, who would not live for three years.

I thought to myself that this news might be more important to Lord An, so I secretly ran out while the people in Yang Mansion went to watch the Nuo exorcism show together."

Emil finished speaking with a discomfort, standing there at a loss, not daring to look at the road, for fear that he would look down on his woman who had become filthy from now on.

Lu Leye was very complicated and uncomfortable, and he gently hugged the helpless Emil in his arms.

Waving to Emil, An Renzhi said, "You go down first. I have something to ask you, your husband, Brother Lu."

Looking at Emil who turned around one step and three times, Lu Jiu let out a long sigh, and the resentment in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"No one is concerned about the poor in the downtown area, and no one is concerned about the rich in the mountains. When my father was a yaman in the West City of Chang'an, no one was concerned about it. Unexpectedly, after he served as the governor of Fanyang, countless old people came to his house. My father had no choice but to place them on the remote grasslands of Fanyang.

The tribes who came to visit the distance had many conflicts with the Khitans and Turks. For this reason, my father also cut off many Khitans' heads. Later, more and more wandering tribes in the Western Regions came to like each other. My father was afraid of causing misunderstandings from the court, so he specifically informed Prime Minister Li Linfu. Lord Li decided to use barbarians to control barbarians and acquiesced to this matter.

After the imperial concubine's cousin, Lord Yang Zhao, came up, he kept holding on to this matter and falsely accused my father of being ill-behaved and wanted to rebel. Tell me, how could my father, a small governor, rebel, and how dare he rebel?"

An Renzhi looked at Lu LeLe, who was speechless.

"My ninth sister has often praised you for having a wonderful skill recently, and she is one of the few young talents in the world.

How should I deal with this situation? I hope Brother Lu will give me advice." An Renzhi looked at Lu sincerely.

"Lu Li, a mediocre person, can you learn anything? How dare you speak nonsense about these family and country affairs?" Lu Li, shook his head.

"Even if it's not for us, isn't it okay for Miss Emil and her tribe members?" An Renzhi looked at Emil next to the official road in the distance and said quietly.

Lu Li was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I only have two simple views on this matter. First: Lord An led his army to attack north, captured the land of the Khitan and sent it to the former tribes who came to the Western Regions. While expanding territory for the Tang Dynasty, he also followed Lord Li Linfu's policy of using barbarians to control barbarians. Naturally, he could block the remarks that falsely accused your father of rebellion.

Second, the court will return if summoned. After entering the capital, it does not need to be careful. Instead, it should ask the saint for rewards to calm the saint's heart. After all, the world of the Tang Dynasty is the world of the saint."

When An Renzhi heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking again: "What does Brother Lu think about the so-called Lord Li's life cannot last for three years? You must know that most of the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty were promoted and supported by Lord Li. Once he is ill, the lives of us Hu people will be sad."

Lu Li lowered his head and pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I feel very strange about this. Even the strange man who is proficient in the art of shooting people cannot accurately predict a person's life and death. I think I can only pay attention to it secretly and adapt to the situation."

"Do you know that if you hadn't taken Emil away, Jiu Mei and his party would probably have been unable to reach Fan Yang safely. The other party's determination to kill Emil is unimaginable. This makes it even more difficult to grasp the news that Emil is inquiring."

An Renzhi sighed repeatedly with a "alas".

"What? Have you encountered many attacks after I left?" Lu Leye looked at Lu Jiu with some discomfort.

"Hmph!" Lu Jiu snorted coldly, turned around and ignored him.

"I met Brother Lu today and I was very close to you. There is a villa at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain outside Youzhou City. We went there to drink and talk about how to do it." An Renzhi smiled slightly when he saw this.

The nervous Emil, accompanied by Pei Wuniang, kept looking uneasily towards the direction of the tea pavilion.

"Fresh fruits, fresh fruits." A girl about thirteen or fourteen years old shouted and walked over with a green fruit on her back.

Seeing the bright and green fruits, Emil's belly was sour and couldn't help but want to eat them. He called the little girl and picked it up in the basket.

"Sister-in-law! Don't eat these unclean things randomly." Pei Wuniang reached out and stopped Emil.

The little girl's eyes were wide open, she looked at Pei Wuniang with anger on her face, picked up two fruits and started eating.

"It's not poisonous, I can't kill you."

Pei Wuniang stared at the stubborn girl in anger, but the other party looked at her without showing any weakness, but Pei Wuniang was defeated in disappointment.

After a while, the road passed by with a relaxed look on his face, and smiled slightly while holding Emil, who was holding a pack of green fruits.

"It seems that we have nothing to do."

Emil breathed a sigh of relief and was helped by Pei Wuniang into the carriage. After eating two clean green fruits, he looked at the road riding on horseback outside the car window, and fell asleep with a happy and satisfied smile.

Following the team of people, the group came to the door of An Renzhi's villa at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain.

"Senior brother, come and have a look! Sister-in-law, she can't wake up no matter how she calls her!" Pei Wuniang's very frightened voice came from the carriage.

Lu Lili rushed into the carriage and saw Emil smiling, leaning quietly on the seat and sleeping. When he touched her body, he was already cold and stiff, and he could never wake up.
