However, in ancient times, there were many things that needed to be prepared for travel, and it was not that you could go right away.

Carriages, clothing, food, all kinds of utensils that may be used on the road, emergency pills...... Even if Xijing is not too far from Shangjing, it will take some time to clean up and tidy up, and I propose to leave before noon...... You have to wait until dusk to set off.

This is still not exquisite.

If you really pay attention to it, I'm afraid that two days will not be enough to prepare.

Of course, this was not done by Lu Li alone. The garden steward was very discerning, and when he saw that the 'guests' were leaving, he directly took care of all the preparations, and even confiscated the silver tickets handed over by Lu Li, and only accepted some rewards.

Lu Li finished sorting out his books as boxes, and he didn't have to worry about the things next to him, and when he was busy traveling in the garden, he was idle, and he was bored with his hands behind his back and circled around the main hall.

The days are long in summer, and it is too hot at noon; Xijing is away from the official road of Shangjing all the way, there are many small towns along the way, there are many inns, and I don't have to worry about the accommodation, and it is just right to start when Shenshi. It's just the time in between...... It's a bit of a waste.

Lu Li thought of something, his steps suddenly paused, and he turned to Zhao Zhu, "Why don't we go and see Liu Cui'er?" ”

A girl who grew up under the feudal mentality is forced to see the corpse of the adulterer, and the next one is likely to be herself, and the psychological pressure can be imagined. Now that the murderer has been caught and sentenced to be beheaded in the autumn, will it be much better for her to know?

She was just a little autistic because of the matter, and her condition was not as severe as the illness he had seen in modern times, and it might be helpful for her to inform her about it......

Zhao Shu was secretly happy with bad intentions, and this blank time happened to have a warm encounter with his daughter-in-law, who knew that Lu Li suddenly made this request, with a very strict and unrefusable look.

This seems to be an inquiry, but in fact, he is announcing that if he doesn't agree, Lu Li will definitely go by himself!

Zhao Shu stepped forward unwillingly, hugged Lu Li tightly, and dropped a kiss between his hair.

He expressed his displeasure with the strength of the hug.

Lu Li felt that the bones in his body were about to be shattered, "You are lighter!" ”

……

In this way, the two can be regarded as reaching a consensus. Who knew that just after changing his clothes and preparing to go out, Huaide Shui came to the door.

Zhao Shu didn't want to pay attention to it, but Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, grabbed Zhao Zhu, and received him first.

When she first arrived in Xijing, Mrs. Huai deliberately hindered her, and Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu helped Lu Li investigate the affairs of the Huai family. Huai Deshui was encountering a political fight, and he became an old enemy, and borrowed all the dowry silver from Mrs. Huai to protect the Taicang silver. He was busy with this matter, even if there were accidents at home, he did not show up, and handed it over to Mrs. Huai and his eldest son.

Lu Li didn't have any ill feelings towards him, he just felt that he paid too much attention to his work. But he accepted Aunt Shi's uneasy concubine, and he pampered her...... Of course, there are social reasons, but is he too casual? The sense of responsibility that men should shoulder is still missing......

But Huai Deshui is Mrs. Huai's husband after all. Lu Li respected Mrs. Huai very much, so he pressed the heart and invited people to the main hall and served tea.

Very unexpectedly, Huaide Shui came to thank you.

As the news says, Wilder is not very good. He is not tall, dark-skinned, square-faced, broad-lipped, but his eyes are very clear, his manners are measured, and he looks like a fairly decent person.

When he saw Lu Li, the first thing he thanked was not for investigating his daughter's murder case, nor for helping him see the character of the concubine's family, but for Xie Lu Li's enlightenment to Mrs. Huai.

"I've been married to Uchiko for many years and I've never seen her cry. When the eldest daughter was mourned, she was so grief-stricken that she almost committed suicide, and she didn't cry in front of people...... "Huai Deshui sighed, got up solemnly, lowered his eyes and lowered his chin, and expressed his gratitude.

It is very rare for an elder to be like this to a junior, Lu Li hurriedly stood up and returned the salute seriously.

Wilder has deep nasolabial folds on the water, and is a man who does not smile. His words were very brief, but Lu Li still heard the deep meaning from them.

It turned out that Huai Deshui had always been in love with Mrs. Huai, and he knew her long before he got married. He knew that he was not worthy of the Lan family's family background, and marrying Mrs. Dehuai was really a pie on his head, and he vowed to work hard to bring infinite glory to his wife with his own efforts, so that she could go back to her parents' house with her head held high.

Huaideshui's parents died early, and this incident almost became the most persistent ideal in his heart.

But married life is not as good as imagined.

Before this, Huai Deshui had never liked women, and he didn't know how to get along with women; And Mrs. Huai married her clansmen angrily, and her temperament is still a little awkward. Probably miscommunication, or the method was wrong, and the two gradually became estranged.

Together, the estrangement is widening. Huai Deshui wanted to remedy it, but he didn't know whether to listen to the words of his subordinates or think about it himself, he went astray, and he chose to take a concubine to stimulate.

In his opinion, this was just his careful thinking to stimulate Mrs. Huai, and he didn't really like those women anyway. He didn't need Mrs. Huai to bow her head to him, as long as he released a little signal of easing at him, he would obediently run to her and tell her: All of them are fake, and I only have you in my heart.

But how could she be knocked down if she was as strong and stubborn as Mrs. Huai? Even if it is uncomfortable, it will build a thick wall of heart and force yourself to deal with it calmly. She tightened her heart tighter, not blooming even a corner.

The Wilder Water Project failed.

Mrs. Huai did not come out for several years after giving birth to the eldest daughter, except for the eldest daughter of the Shi family, no concubine was born, not as rumored in the market, Mrs. Huai was too powerful, but Huai Deshui did not go to the concubine's room at all.

As for Shih's ...... It was an accident.

Shi Shi is scheming, especially good at exploiting loopholes, taking advantage of Huaide's drunkenness, successfully climbed into bed, and was very lucky, once pregnant, gave birth to the eldest daughter.

The concubine has a disability, and the concubine is healthy and smart, and she will always be put forward for comparison, and Mrs. Huai loves her daughter very much, and she cares about Shi very much. Huaide subconsciously got closer to Shi, and sure enough, Mrs. Huai became more and more angry. Although she maintained the posture of a noble daughter and a wife of the family, she did not repeatedly rectify the Shi family, but her disgust was obvious.

Huai Deshui was not too old at the time, and he was not very good at grasping emotions, so he felt that this was effective, so he persevered, and when his consciousness was wrong, it was too late......

"Neizi talked with me last night, and talked a lot, after many years, in my heart, we recalled the eldest daughter Juan'er together......" Huai Deshui couldn't help but feel excited when he remembered Mrs. Huai's crying in his arms.

Although his wife has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, he is not confused by the old age, but in his heart, his wife is still a beautiful and heroic girl during the plum banquet. They may have missed many years, but the days after that can be longer......

So how could he not thank Lu Li!

If it weren't for Lu Li, his wife wouldn't have changed so much!

After that, Huai Deshui roughly explained the reason why he was not in the mansion after such a big incident. It is true that the matter of political struggle in office has reached a critical time, if he can't pass smoothly, he is not only sorry for his official career, but also sorry for his wife's dowry, and he really lacks skills.

He also thanked Lu Li for helping solve the case, capturing Shi Yi, and avenging his daughter, "I never knew that the Shi family was like this!" "If he had known, how could he pretend to favor Shi and mention that anyone is better than her!

Lu Li understood. After so many years, the relationship between Huai Deshui and Mrs. Huai is not like a husband and wife at all, but like a business partner. Knowing each other, trusting, and even delivering backs, but not emotions.

They know each other's character, ability, and what they can do, but they don't believe in the word love......

Huai Deshui said it simply and casually, but Lu Li can make up a big drama in the house. Two smart people, in the middle of the game, can't see through the fog, make wrong decisions, and are entangled and helpless for half a life.

It's not that this man doesn't love his children, it's just that his love for Mrs. Huai is heavier.

Huaide lowered his eyes and drank tea, Lu Li cleared his throat, but he didn't know what to say.

Huai Deshui obviously just wanted to express his gratitude, not necessarily Lu Li's statement, "Neiko knew that I was looking for you, so she specially sent Mother Zhou, saying that she had something to bring to you." She's waiting in the side hall, do you want to see her? ”

Lu Li thought that Mrs. Huai had brought something very important, and immediately stood up, "I'll go immediately." He turned his head to look at Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, help me entertain Master Huai." ”

Zhao Shu seemed to be a little unhappy, but he still bowed his head slightly and agreed.

Who knew that Lu Li hurriedly ran to the side hall, and Zhou's mother only talked to him about some family things, and didn't say anything important.

Lu Li's eyes flashed, and he smiled and told Zhou's mother that he was out of company, and turned to the main hall to run...... Huai Deshui probably deliberately transferred him away, and he had something to say to Zhao Zhu!

At this time, in the main hall, Huai Deshui had already finished greetings, and asked Zhao Shu with a smile, "Zhao Gongzi is angry, I don't know...... Have you ever been engaged? "A picture that is very interested in being a matchmaker.

Zhao Shu originally had no ill feelings towards Huai Deshui, but he just felt that this person was too wordy, but when he was talking to Lu Li just now, he patted Lu Li on the shoulder several times very shamelessly!

This made Zhao Zhu very unhappy!

Lu Li is also what he can shoot?

"I've been engaged, so don't bother adults." Zhao Zhu's voice was a little perfunctory, and he also had some sharpness, hoping that Huai Deshui would understand some eyes, stop relying on it, and leave quickly.

Huai Deshui looked no surprised, nor unhappy, and asked with a smile, "When are you going to get married?" ”

"The year after tomorrow."

After Zhao Zhu said this, Huai Deshui's expression suddenly changed. He half-clenched his fists, placed them between his knees, his back was straight, and his eyes were extremely sharp, "Once you have a marriage contract, don't pester Lu Li anymore." Even the voice is very high-pitched, revealing indifference and warning.

It turns out that this is another important thing for Huaide Shuishang.

Last night, I had a night talk with Mrs. Huai, and Mrs. Huai not only recalled the past with him, but also talked about Lu Li's affairs after the old friendship. She saw that Zhao Shu was a little worried about Lu Li's unusualness, but these words were not easy to ask directly, so Huai Deshui volunteered to solve his wife's confusion.

And Lu Li is kind to Huaifu, of course he is on Lu Li's side.

"I know that your identity must be good, but no matter who you are, even if you have a marriage contract, you should not be ambiguous and misunderstood. If you have the heart to hurt Lu Li, me and Neiko will not let it go! His eyes were resolute, his voice was loud, and his expression was extremely resolute.

Zhao Zhu looked at Huai Deshui unpleasantly, and he hated others maliciously speculating about his relationship with Lu Li!

"You can't take care of my business." I don't know anything, why babble! Lu Li is his princess, and she has long been destined to be his person! Zhao Zhu's voice was cold and frosty, "Even if I just want to play with him!" ”

Lu Li stuck outside the door, and when he heard Zhao Zhu's words, he was not uncomfortable. Just as Zhao Shu knew that his emotions were transformed, he could also distinguish Zhao Zhu's feelings when he spoke.

Zhao Zhu was obviously deliberately angry with Huaide Shui, probably Huai Deshui made him unhappy before.

Lu Li believes in his feelings, in the bits and pieces of getting along with Zhao Zhu along the way, and in the passion of last night...... Zhao Zhu's feelings for him are real.

However, Mrs. Huai cared about him so much, and Huai Deshui was willing to do this, which still warmed his heart.

Then he smiled and pushed the door open, "Lord Huai, after I finished talking to Mother Zhou, it seems that someone from Huaifu has come, saying that there is something urgent to ask the master to go back, you see-"

Huai Deshui's eyes sank slightly, he quietly looked at Zhao Shu's expression, and sighed deeply, "Then I'll leave." ”

It's just that when he crossed Lu Li, he patted Lu Li's shoulder and said in a low voice, "I know you're smart, but if you have any difficulty, you can find me, you know?" ”

Lu Li nodded, "Lord Xie cares, I will." ”

After Huai Deshui left, Zhao Zhu's face was very stinky.

He has strong martial arts and extraordinary ear power, but he is used to the sound of Lu Li's footsteps, and he has long subconsciously marked this sound as a safe sound that does not need to be guarded against. So even though I heard it, I subconsciously judged that it was not dangerous, so I ignored it and said what I wanted to say.

Lu Li patted his face, "It's okay, I know you did it on purpose." But......" he blinked, grimacing, "the marriage contract is fake, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Zhu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, but finally nodded silently, "Naturally, it's fake!" ”

He grabbed Lu Li's hand and pressed it to his chest, his eyes were deep, "Who is here, don't you know?" ”

Lu Li smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to send a kiss, "Of course." ”

……

Huai Deshui came and went, a lot of time passed, and Shen Wansha and He Lianyu had already hurried back.

Shen Wansha saw Lu Li's head and asked, "Are you really going to leave right away?" His head was covered with sweat, his eyes were shining, but he was not unhappy at all, full of anticipation.

Lu Li nodded, "If it's not troublesome......"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Shen Wansha patted his chest, "There's a young master!" The young master is the best at traveling! "If you leave early, you can meet your mother early! Nearly a year away from home, he was really homesick.

Lu Li looked at the sky outside and sighed with some regret, "I still want to go and see Liu Cui'er, but unfortunately I don't have time......"

Shen Wansha repeatedly called his subordinates to arrange things, and chatted with Lu Li distractedly, "Haha, it's really a coincidence!" I was shopping outside with Xingxing, and I happened to walk not far from Liu Cuier's house, so I stopped by to take a look. I've heard you say before that catching the murderer may reduce Liu Cuier's psychological pressure, so I'll just say something, Liu Cuier heard what I said to his father and brother in the room, and cried hard! ”

"This woman is really made of water, I don't know, why Liu Cuier has so many tears! But after crying, she calmed down a lot, and quietly glanced at me behind the curtain, and she didn't cry in fear. I think there is a drama, so I told the Liu family about the methods you said......"

Lu Li was very surprised, but this kind of coincidence made people's hearts warm.

"The young master did the right thing." He rubbed Shen Wansha's head fiercely.

Shen Wansha was very proud of being praised, his chin was about to be lifted to the sky, and he rolled his eyes thinking about what else he could show off......

"Mrs. Huai is also mighty and domineering!" He also heard everywhere how Mrs. Huai drove Aunt Shi out of the house, rectified the inner house, took back all the dowry silver, and said everything about doing a big business in a blink of an eye.

Lu Li listened with great emotion, Mrs. Huai is really ...... Peculiar woman.

After saying that, Lu Li remembered that when he saw Helian Yu, he was holding a big box in his arms and asked Shen Wansha what it was. Shen Wansha immediately changed the topic, "Oh yes, the Treasure Appreciation Conference of Baibaolou is also over!" Lively and lively guests and hosts had a great ......"

Just kidding, the box is full of gifts he bought for Lu Li, how can he say it when it's not time yet!

……

Soon, all the preparations were over, and Lu Li and his party of four got into the departing carriage at two o'clock in the morning.

一qiē are all smooth lì.

When the carriage arrived at Cui Niangzi's dim sum shop, Shen Wansha patted his head and forgot to buy the dim sum that everyone likes to eat! The journey is boring, how can you grind your teeth without something! Besides, this Cui Niangzi's skills are serious and good!

"I'll be right back!" Shen Wansha opened the curtain as he spoke, and jumped out of the carriage.

He jumped down, and Helian Yu followed, of course.

Zhao Zhu also doesn't like to ride in carriages very much, he prefers to ride horses. Four people in a car, he can't get close to Lu Li, but the road is still long, he has time!

Now...... It's okay to scatter it.

He said something to Lu Li and got out of the car. But he didn't go far, he just stood by the car window with his arms crossed, looking at Lu Li.

Lu Li was reluctant to put down the book in his hand, and it felt strange to be stared at all the time, so he simply pointed to the jewelry shop next to the dim sum shop, "I heard that there are many rules in Beijing, and rewarding is the big head, I don't have anything suitable for rewarding people, can you buy some for me?" ”

Zhao Shuxin said What you need, I have prepared it for you, but he knows that Lu Li just wants him to run errands...... He blinked, and went away.

Show loyalty to his daughter-in-law, don't talk about running errands, he is willing to do anything! Moreover, he personally picked things for Lu Li...... It's also a good thing.

This is when the change happened.

Somehow, the horses in front of the car suddenly raised their hooves and neighed, and ran forward like crazy.

Lu Li didn't notice it, his body fell back, and his forehead hit the window slammed, and blood came out in an instant.

In the next moment, he heard Shen Wansha's heart-rending shout, "Little oak! ”

He didn't know what was happening, only that the carriage was running like this irregular, uncertain direction, and his fate was either to fall off the carriage and break his neck, or to roll in the carriage, seriously injured and fractured. He then clung to the curtain of the car, rolled it up and tied it to his arm, and secured himself in front of the wheel as much as he could.

He knew that Zhao Shu would definitely come to save him!

Zhao Shu rushed out of the jewelry store when he heard the voice, his eyes were green, and the pearl he was holding in his hand was directly pinched into powder, and he immediately turned around and exerted force, rushing forward!

But a group of black-clad masked men quickly rushed over from all directions and blocked his way.

Helian Yu was also urged forward by Shen Wansha, but was also stopped by the man in black.

Zhao Shu touched it from his arms, and the black gold gong popped out, and in the next moment, the black-clothed man in front of him burst into brains, his body flew up, and he knocked down the accomplices behind him!

However, more people came from the side directions.

"Lu Li-" Zhao Zhu's teeth were almost bleeding, and while wielding the black gold mace to reap the enemy's life, he shouted Lu Li's name loudly, "Hold on!" "He's coming right away, right away!

This group of black-clothed people came very quickly, their martial arts were good, and there were a lot of them, Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu, plus Hong You, the three of them were blocked and couldn't reach Lu Li's side soon. And Lu Li's carriage is very fast, if he doesn't take measures, Lu Li will definitely suffer heavy losses and his life is in danger!

Zhao Zhu's eyes were split, and he didn't think about anything else, and quickly sent a signal to let all the dark guards come out to protect Lu Li!

The dark guard has been on the side, and someone has already followed Lu Li's side not far from the car, and he didn't know how to rescue him, and when he saw Zhao Zhu's signal, he immediately showed his figure.

At the same time, the soldiers of Xijing Mansion came out of nowhere, rushed out and ran towards Zhao Zhu, "Protect the prince!" "Protect King Ping!"

The root of Zhao Zhuqi's teeth hurt, "What kind of mess are you guys making trouble!" ”

It's a pity that his voice alone can't compare to many government soldiers, no matter how loud the voice roars, it is immediately drowned, and it doesn't even stir up a splash.

In fact, you can't blame these government soldiers.

Zhao Zhu cleaned up the aliens in Baibaolou a few days ago, and the movement was too big, so he communicated with Yin of Xijing Mansion. At that time, Cui Tuiguan was a guest at Fu Yin's house, and Liu Zhutou passed by when he left, he felt that he was about to go to Beijing anyway, so he didn't deliberately hide it, so his identity was no longer a big secret in Xijing officialdom.

These people knew that the famous and powerful Prince Ping was in Xijing, how could they do nothing? Although King Ping is low-key and let them not care, if something happens to the prince in the Xijing realm, who is it?

Therefore, as long as Zhao Zhu did not leave Xijing City, the officials of the palace would let the government soldiers wander around him at any time and inspect them, just in case.

Lo and behold, this is not coming!

The soldiers of the government are frightened and bloody to kill the enemy, this is a challenge and an opportunity!

If you can accumulate some credit and get into the eyes of the prince, the future will be smooth!

As soon as the soldiers came out, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the voices of protecting the prince and protecting the king of Ping were endless, like thunder.

Lu Li exerted all his strength, while struggling to fix himself in the car, while looking for an opportunity to see if he could save himself.

His vision shook violently, and he smelled a strong smell of blood, not knowing if it was his own or Crazy Horse's in front of him.

He saw a group of men in black attack.

I also saw several gray-clothed figures suddenly appear on both sides of the carriage, with vigorous posture, flying like flying, and obvious protective posture.

These people are similar in shape, their movements seem to be different, but in fact, they have the same rhythm, and they have a sense of cooperation, which is very tacit. Their eyes are very similar, as if they have been tempered by countless hunting and killing occasions, exuding sharp, resolute points of light, very dangerous, like unsheathed swords, longing for blood......

Suddenly there was a sense of familiarity.

Lu Li thought about it, the temperament exuded by these people was somewhat similar to Zhao Zhu.

Unexpectedly, I saw the gold medal on their waists...... It's also a little familiar.

But now is not the time to think nonsense, he can see what these people mean, they want to save him!

So he gritted his teeth and just waited for them to get closer, closer, closer!

When the thunderous shouts poured into his ears, Lu Li was a little stunned, confused for a moment, before he heard what those shouts were.

He looked back in shock, leaned over with all his strength, and looked back.

I saw a group of government soldiers, surrounding Zhao Zhu, shouting slogans while protecting him and struggling to repel the enemy.

Rajah......

Pingwang ......

What do they say...... Is it Zhao Zhu?

The vision trembled so much, Lu Li's arm strangled blood, fixed himself hard, and looked at Zhao Shu in the crowd.

The tall, arrogant and domineering man who always has a sharp and murderous aura lingers in the crowd is always so conspicuous and handsome......

But now, the man was angry.

Lu Li could see his movements, the shape of his lips.

He was scolding the enemy and telling the soldiers to get out of the way, but he was alone...... There is no denial of the words of the government soldiers.

Those words about identity.
