Zhao Zhu marched north, and King Su and his ministers saw him off outside the city.

The sky was gloomy, the north wind was hunting, and the biting chill was infiltrating from all directions, and no matter how thick the clothes were, they couldn't resist it. The ministers all had red noses, and couldn't help but shrink themselves like quails, and their eyes looking at Zhao Shu were full of admiration and awe.

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition formed a phalanx, holding weapons with solemn faces, each with a similar posture and the same expression, and in the sound of the expedition horn, each of them was like a weapon in their hands, exuding a strong murderous aura and unyielding fighting intent!

In front of the phalanx, Zhao Zhu was wearing armor and sitting on a horse, and the royal flag was waving in the wind behind him, hunting and hunting. The movements of all the soldiers changed with the gestures between his fingers, and the crowd of soldiers who could not see the bottom seemed to be the same person, with the same movements, the same voice, and even the same expression!

What a terrible power of control! What a terrible authority! No wonder King Ping can be a teenager and win all the foreign clans in the Northern Pass of Great Xia, and he has never been defeated for more than ten years!

In the depths of winter, the soldiers' winter clothes were also sewn into thick cotton, but Zhao Zhu, the king of Ping, was dressed in armor on the outside, and only wore a thin layer of single clothes on the inside. Forcibly stamped his feet to drive away the cold, the ministers couldn't help but yearn for it, King Ping was really strong in martial arts!

……

King Su raised his glass with both hands and asked Zhao Shu to drink the farewell wine: "My generation clan inherits the grace of heaven and enjoys the worship of the people, and now the country is in danger, and it is the time to serve." I am not as good as you, with unique ambition and full of wisdom, I am here to send you north, may you start victorious, and create great achievements! ”

This is very flattering to the identity of the prince, and it is also very loud and full of neutrality, but everyone still feels a little incongruous when they look at it.

What is it?

Everyone looked at it a few more times and suddenly realized that it should be this!

King Su's figure is not bad, although he is not as tall as Zhao Zhu, he has been in a high position for a long time, and his momentum is still there, especially today when he is wearing the prince's formal clothes, and the four-clawed golden dragon on his chest almost wants to fly out, which is even more noble. But King Su's martial arts are not high, and he is also old, so in order to keep out the cold, it is inevitable to wear more clothes. Even if he was wearing the lightest, most expensive and most cold-proof sable skin, it was also a layer thicker, and as soon as he had more clothes on his body, he would look bloated, and as soon as he was bloated, his momentum would come down.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhu did not wear the prince's royal clothes that represented the prince's dignity, but the Tiesu military suit, because it was too cold, and there was a layer of frost on the surface of the armor. But the momentum on his body, the domineering and arrogant between his eyebrows, almost became the substance, which made people tremble at a glance.

Hatchback and one comparison...... No matter how imposing King Su's words are, they are all like pretending, as long as Zhao Zhu stands there and doesn't say a word, he can't be ignored.

Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed, and the playful feelings rose and fell in the pupils, and finally gently gathered up. What does King Su want to insinuate when he says this? said that he was surnamed Zhao, the same as the Son of Heaven, enjoyed the worship of the people, and was qualified to send him for the Son of Heaven and do the same thing as the Son of Heaven? Or is he too outstanding, and there must be different intentions? The word 'unique' is not a good word.

Among the clans, only the emperor on the dragon chair is special, and others can't compare to it......

Regardless of whether King Su thought that he would pave the way in the future, Zhao Zhu didn't care, he had made all the preparations to deal with it, and he would definitely not let King Su succeed!

He raised his eyebrows, held the cup in both hands, and saluted King Su from afar: "Inherit Uncle Wang's auspicious words." I have stabbed the kings of Western Xia, and picked the prince of Da Liao with a gun, Uncle Wang rest assured, anyone who wants to challenge the foundation of Da Xia, I will let his five horses be divided, and he will not die well! ”

King Su's hand paused slightly, his eyes softened slightly, and his voice was gentle, "In this way, this king will be relieved." But the battlefield is strife, swords and guns have no eyes, you should be careful. ”

Is this a reminder, or a curse? Zhao Shu sneered in his heart, "I have been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and I have never lost a battle, Uncle Wang is too worried." ”

"Then you are on your way!" King Su handed the wine glass to the attendant close to him, "One minute later, my Great Xia territory will be in danger." ”

That's a good thing to say, but it's on the road......

Zhao Zhu has always valued personal ability, and the battle of tongues is too stingy, he has always disdained it, but he didn't expect that King Su also had this side...... It seems that the time has come.

"Uncle Wang, take care, it's cold, at your age, don't freeze out, it's better to go back early." After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, flew on his horse, gestured together, and the army pulled out.

The horn sounded, the sergeants shouted in unison, the momentum was huge, and all the ministers who saw off them knelt down together: "I hope that King Ping will return to Beijing as soon as possible!" ”

"I hope that King Ping will return to Beijing as soon as possible!"

"I hope that King Ping will return to Beijing as soon as possible!"

In the sight of everyone's expectation, Zhao Zhu urged the horse forward, but he didn't return for a moment.

King Su stood in the kneeling crowd, his eyes flickering slightly.

……

Walking out of Shangjing City for ten miles, Hong You urged the horse to come over and report: "The princess is waiting for you in front." ”

Zhao Zhu's eyes warmed, and his daughter-in-law came to see him off!

"Tell the order to go down, and the army will continue to move forward, and there is no need to care about the king, and the king will go back when he goes." After Zhao Shu finished speaking, his legs were clamped, and the front hooves of the black horse under his crotch were raised, and he accelerated in an instant, and ran forward.

In the small pavilion, Lu Li wore a thick one, and the hand stove was replaced by two: "Zhao Zhu won't be gone." ”

"Impossible." Hu Weiwei lazily flicked the charcoal fire in the brazier, "King Ping is on the march, how can the formation be small?" It's not over for a while, it's too early, master. If you want to talk about me, on such a cold day, why should the master suffer this sin, anyway, the prince will come back soon, and he will say goodbye at home. The master's health was not good in his early years, and winter is the time to recuperate, so he shouldn't run around like this......"

Hu Weiwei was worried about his body, Lu Li understood it very well, but he just couldn't help but want to come.

Even if this separation will not be too long, it is still a separation, for a long time, he is used to Zhao Zhu's company, and he can't even remember how he spent his previous days. Zhao Zhu hasn't left yet, he has begun to miss it, and he is always uneasy if he doesn't look at it before leaving.

Besides, do they have a full set of acting, since they want to trap the king, they will try not to leave any doubts. has lived in the capital for so long, what Zhao Zhu's identity is, and how he is treated, everyone can see it. On weekdays, I can't wait to stick together, and I don't even have to do business, but now that Zhao Shu is on an expedition, he doesn't come to send it, isn't it too strange?

Just as he was thinking, a black dot appeared in the distance, and the black dot got closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the front of him.

"Zhao Zhu!" Lu Li let go of the hand stove, and his eyes were full of surprise that he couldn't hide.

Hu Weiwei rolled her eyes, reluctantly saluted Zhao Shu, and her figure floated away.

Zhao Shu held Lu Li's hand, "Is it cold or not?" ”

"I wear a lot," Lu Li shook his head, "Is it a qiēshun lì?" ”

Zhao Shu hugged Lu Li into his arms, "No problem." ”

The cold armor was close to his face, Lu Li should have felt uncomfortable, but at this moment he didn't seem to know the cold at all, and leaned against Zhao Zhu: "You are outside, be careful......"

"I know." Zhao Shu closed his eyes, quietly hugged Lu Li for a moment, and said, "It just so happens that you are here, I have something to tell you." ”

Lu Li heard that his voice was wrong, and raised his head to look at his eyes, "But what happened?" ”

Zhao Shu let go of him and pulled him to sit down in front of the charcoal basin, "Military affairs are complicated, and I haven't had time to see you since I left home yesterday afternoon." I had a secret conversation with the emperor last night, and I knew something about it, and I thought it was necessary to sue you. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Li was curious.

Zhao Zhu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his expression was slightly relaxed, as if he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "I used to hate my father. ”

Lu Li nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

In Zhao Zhu's growth trajectory, there seem to be very few positive actions of King Lao Ping. For example, Zhao Zhu was looked down upon and bullied because of the seal of the king of Hades in his throat, and King Lao Ping didn't seem to see it, and he didn't care at all, Princess Ren Xian supported it herself, and she didn't seem to like this son at all. After the first princess died, Zhao Zhu was raised in the palace for a few years, and King Lao Ping never expressed concern, as if Zhao Zhu's life or death did not matter to him.

Later, King Xianping married his step-concubine and had a second son, Zhao Xi. King Xianping loved Zhao Xi very much, and after Zhao Shu returned home, King Xianping seemed to have completely given up on this eldest son, leaving some people to take care of him, so he didn't care about anything, and the princess was persecuted by many means. Zhao Zhu himself proposed to go to the military camp, but King Xianping only lost his master, and did not ask Zhao Zhu about his training speed and whether he was injured...... Anyway, everything depends on Zhao Shu himself.

Going to the barracks was also proposed by Zhao Shu himself, but King Xianping did not react, and after handing him over to his subordinates for polishing, he personally sent him to the barracks. Although he sent it off in person, he still didn't care what problems Zhao Shu encountered, even when Zhao Zhu went to the battlefield for the first time, he stood by and watched......

So Zhao Shu said that he hated his father, and Lu Li was not surprised at all.

"Later, I slowly guessed the reason." Zhao Shu squeezed Lu Li's hand, his eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little sad, "My father was also on the battlefield when he was young, killing the enemy in blood, and in the ten years when he gave birth to me, it happened that the battle was not so intense, and he had time to ...... in Beijing."

Zhao Shu said that the first emperor was a suspicious character, suspicious and ruthless, when there was a war, he relied on the king of Xianping, and when there was no battle, the first thing that came to mind was the high merit of the master, so at that time the king of Xianping was not everything went smoothly. Xu sniffed out the meaning of the first emperor to abolish the prince, and the king of Xianping deliberately showed all kinds of shortcomings......

King Ping is in charge of military power, and his subordinates have a lot of power, if Shun lì, these powers must be handed over to Zhao Shu, the first emperor is suspicious and suppressed, the first king of Ping hopes that Zhao Shu can stand up, and hopes that he can avoid the first emperor's suspicious sight, so he does not dare to care more.

"The eagle falcon will fade down the cliff and force them to learn to fly, and my father promised me the same, but unfortunately, at that time, I didn't understand his painstaking ......" Zhao Shu clenched his fists.

King Xianping is in charge of the army, Zhao Zhu is the eldest son, and he will also lead troops in the future, but since he was a child, King Xianping did not teach him to practice martial arts, because the first emperor did not allow it. If King Xianping showed a little cultivation thought, he was only afraid of Zhao Zhu's life...... It won't be able to be saved.

Under the imperial power, crises are everywhere, King Xianping doesn't want to rebel, so he has to work hard to keep his family small, he can't manage Zhao Zhu, but he hopes that Zhao Shu will grow up. Zhao Shu caused trouble and entered the palace, he was more worried than anyone else, but he couldn't care about it, and he had to marry a step-princess according to the emperor's wishes, indicating that he was stupid and straightforward.

Zhao Zhu kept himself, he wanted to learn martial arts when he left the palace, and he also wanted to enter the military camp, King Xianping was happier than anyone else, but at this time, he couldn't be careless, he continued to ignore it on the surface, and paid attention silently in secret......

"If my father had shown love to me, I would not have grown so big; If my father attaches great importance to me, it is impossible for me not to be suspicious of anyone, and I will enter the military camp smoothly, slowly master the border soldiers, and obtain all the military power of the king of Ping. Zhao Shu sighed faintly.

Lu Li was very surprised when he heard this, there were such things in his early years! He tilted his head slightly, thinking about the ups and downs in his eyes, is it, this is reasonable...... How important is the eldest son, if there is no special reason, how can King Xianping behave like that! This former emperor is really ......

Thinking about it, Lu Li began to wonder again, but what does this have to do with today? Zhao Zhu said this before leaving, just to get his attention? No way!

"Tell me, what did you know last night?" Lu Li tilted his head to look at Zhao Zhu.

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips curled, and he leaned over and kissed his face, "My daughter-in-law is different!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Li didn't understand.

Zhao Shu was triumphant, "Yesterday I made a bet with the emperor, if I mentioned these things to you with a sad expression when I was leaving, how would you react, and the emperor lost this time!" ”

"King Su wants to rebel, and Shangjing is in danger, at such a time of crisis, you still want to bet?" Lu Li couldn't help grinding his teeth, "What the hell is going on, say!" ”

Zhao Shu saw that Lu Li was going to be angry, touched his nose, no longer mentioned the gambling contract, and only said about the first emperor, "Yesterday, the emperor arrested an old eunuch and knew something, I confirmed my father's conjecture, and I also knew one thing." ”

Lu Li glared at Zhao Zhu, "Speak!" ”

"Your mother originally failed to make an appointment with Mrs. Hou's Zhang, probably because of the first emperor." Zhao Shu's eyebrows were solemn.

Emperor Taijia pulled out a secret nail in the palace yesterday, and after interrogation, he learned that the old eunuch knew the treasure map, not only did he know, but the first emperor also knew. The old eunuch was the same room of the former emperor's heavy eunuch, he knew a lot, and he also knew how bad he knew, and he had always been cautious in his words and deeds.

He said one thing: Miao Hongxiao's identity was known to the first emperor.

Miao Hongxiao is the holder of the suzerain's order, but this matter is a secret, mostly related to the rivers and lakes, the government doesn't know at all, she lives in the Qu family, and it is also because of the cause and effect of the suzerain's order. The Qu family treated her well, and because of her different temperament, she made a lot of limelight in Shangjing, but she was smart and did not expose herself.

Until the first emperor discovered the treasure map. But he wasn't sure why the first emperor knew about the treasure map, and as soon as he knew, he immediately set his eyes on Miao Hongxiao......

"So my mother was killed by the first emperor?" Lu Li's brows furrowed.

Zhao Zhu touched his head, "Not necessarily, there are too few clues." But when your mother was back, she did have an appointment with the first emperor. ”

Lu Li couldn't think it through, so he simply didn't guess, and asked Zhao Zhu: "Later, my mother disappeared, how did the first emperor react?" ”

"Didn't react, just ordered, looking for the treasure map." Zhao Shu felt a little suspicious, "But he has been looking for many years, but he has found nothing." "As the Emperor of Great Xia, with the greatest authority in his hands, how could he get nothing?

Unless......

"Unless he's been deliberately hidden." Lu Li's eyes flashed slightly.

Who is it? Who can hide from him?

"The first emperor was seriously ill, which affected his longevity, and his energy was already low at that time......"

"So it's—"

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "King Su!" ”

That's why King Su started planning so early! Then why didn't he succeed in putting Emperor Taijia on the throne? Lu Li didn't understand.

Zhao Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Because I'm here." ”

Before Emperor Taijia ascended the throne, the border was stable, and he came back to restore his life, who knew that he happened to encounter the death of the first emperor, if he didn't care, he would not be the king of Ping. At that time, the first emperor's sons competed for the throne, and there were indeed ups and downs, which were resolved by him and Emperor Taijia one by one, and there was no trace of King Su in them.

"He felt that his strength was not enough, so he hid."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Yes." ”

……

When the two of them spoke, a long time passed, and Lu Li urged Zhao Shu to leave, "The past is over, the important thing is now, if you don't leave, others should be suspicious." ”

Zhao Shu was pushed by him and walked to the horse, so he had to turn over and get on the horse.

"Goodbye!" Lu Li smiled and waved at him.

He wore a light blue mouseskin cape, his delicate chin was not in a ring of soft hair around his neck, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his smile seemed to illuminate the heavens and the earth.

Zhao Shu didn't hold back, bent down, and imprinted a kiss on his lips.

The cold wind blew his hair, blurring his vision, and the sound of the wind whispered in his ears, as if he was singing in a low voice, and one person immediately dismounted one person at a time......

Somehow, Lu Li's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly retreated, "You really should go." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zhu looked at him deeply a few times, and then lightly clamped the horse's belly, and left quickly with one person and one horse.

Hu Weiwei walked out and looked up and down at the stunned Lu Li, "Master? ”

Only then did Lu Li come back to his senses, cough twice, and turn forward, "Let's go back." ”

……

Su Wangfu.

King Su leaned on the smoker and looked at the housekeeper in front of him, "I was tired of being with Xiaoqing'er for a long time before leaving?" ”

The housekeeper of King Su's Mansion is named Yu Hui, more than forty years old, very shrewd and capable, and now he is standing in front of King Su with his hands tied up, with a respectful expression: "Yes." ”

"Kind of like he's going to do." King Su's eyelids narrowed slightly, and his voice was sarcastic, "I didn't expect our Zhao family to pour out such a seed of infatuation." ”

Yu Hui waited, but didn't see any other instructions from King Su, so he asked cautiously, "Then let's ......?"

"There should be no suspicion about Zhao Zhu's trip, let people keep an eye on it, once people are sure that they are far from the north, we will do it."

……

Zhao Zhu went all the way north, approached Zhending, waved his hand and stationed the army, while beginning to be vigilant and beware of the tail behind, while doing a game to eliminate his own traces, and got up and returned.

At this time, Lu Li had already caught Shi Ren, the head of the Suwang Mansion, recovering.

It is not difficult to arrest Ren Fu, first, Lu Li has the Jingwei left to him by Zhao Zhu; Second, their people have long been staring at Ren Fu, and it is clear when this person is; Thirdly, he himself has a gold medal from the royal gift, and he has the power to arrest any suspect in the case of the case.

And the reason why this timing was chosen is because, judging from the distance, Zhao Zhu is almost decided, and he needs to return without a trace. At this time, the focus of King Su's Mansion is very important, and if he steals the limelight, King Su will have less energy to go to Zhao Zhu's side.

I can help somewhat.

Lu Li grabbed Ren Rehabilitation and questioned sharply, of course Ren Rehabilitation did not admit his guilt, and clamored for Prince Su to come over and take a look, "I have never killed anyone!" I wasn't wrong! Which green onion are you, the one who dares to catch King Su at will! ”

The two quarreled a few words, and Lu Li was furious, and asked the guards to throw him into the car and go all the way to the mansion.

The guards of King Ping's Mansion are so capable, Ren Rehabilitation is restrained, knowing that he can't escape, and seeing the lively street scene outside, his eyes rolled, and he continued to shout loudly, and provoked each other with words: "I don't know where the rabbit came out, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and even Uncle Pingwang's people dare to bully while King Ping is not here!" His Royal Highness King Su, come and take a look, any rabbit master will dare to slap you in the face! ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Li didn't stop him from shouting at all, and even signaled the guards to stay out of the way and let him recruit people.

Soon, a circle of people from far and near gathered around, all of them pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

……

If it is an ordinary person, King Su may not mind too much, but he has a long history and is in charge of some of the royal decrees and palace affairs. In the palace, the name of the palace, the invitation to seal, the marriage invitation, the invitation of grace and Chen Xie, the dedication of the table and the book of enlightenment, etc., can be played by the governor of the palace...... This is a very important position, representing the face of the palace.

If Lu Li was afraid of this, he would have quietly arrested him, and the rest of the matter could be resolved through negotiation, but he just arrested the person in full view of everyone, threw him in the carriage, swaggered all the way through the city, and went straight to the government office, accusing him of being a murderer!

It's a direct slap in the face!

Arrogant and domineering, quite unreasonable slap in the face! No one does that!

The streets were all talking, and it was impossible for King Su to ignore it, so he sent a housekeeper over at the moment.

The housekeeper came quickly, Lu Li threw Ren Fu to the mansion, and before he finished drinking a pot of tea, Yu Hui arrived. As soon as Ren Fuxing saw Yu Hui, his eyes immediately lit up, "Butler Yu helps!" This rabbit master has no evidence, accusing me of being a murderer, and he deliberately abused me, which was simply a deliberate slap in the face of the king! ”

Yu Hui glanced at him, signaled him to be calm, and then turned sideways to look at Rousseau. Who knew that Lu Li didn't seem to see him, he didn't raise his eyelids, and slowly held the teacup and drank tea.

Yu Hui frowned, walked up to Lu Li, and bowed his hand, "I am the housekeeper of the Su Palace, my surname is Yu, I don't know this ...... How to call it? ”

He looked like this, because he saw that Lu Li was young and didn't understand etiquette, and wanted to press him.

As soon as Lu Li's fingers loosened, the teacup lid fell on the teacup with a 'pop', and the sound was crisp and loud.

He opened his voice more crisply, with a full mockery and contempt: "You got the news that you have come to appease the murderer Ren Fuxing...... But you don't know who I am, a liar? ”

"Or ...... I really don't know? Lu Li glanced at Yu Hui obliquely, and sneered, "I don't know how to look at my eyes, I don't know how to speak, and I can be the housekeeper of Suwangfu, this Suwangfu is really ...... Gee. ”
