Chapter 52: Killing the Underworld
Jia Ding's expression was a little aggrieved when she spoke, which also made Lu Zhiyao understand why she met Chu Ziqian so smoothly.
Chu Ziqian wanted to speak and stopped, and sent the family away irritably, and then looked at Lu Zhiyao vigilantly, always keeping a certain distance from her, and asked, "Why did you come back?" I haven't heard the news of the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Emperor Concubine returning to Beijing. ”
"You don't want to see me so much?"
"Nonsense, it's not good every time I see you, you come back to me, don't you want me to help you do something?" Chu Ziqian walked back to his peach tree and sighed heavily. "I said Eighth Imperial Concubine, I am also the eldest young master of the Chu family, you can't let me run errands for you as soon as you think of something, right? What if I accidentally die one day, what will you do with my parents? ”
"You still remember that I am the Eighth Imperial Princess." Lu Zhiyao ignored Chu Ziqian's reluctance and asked, "What are you doing with so many peach trees in the yard?" ”
"Of course, it's to recruit women!" Chu Ziqian replied as a matter of course: "Everything has not gone well since I returned to the capital, and I finally finished the affairs of the store, thinking that I would have the opportunity to go out of Lu to meet the beauties, but who knew that there was a plague in Lu Dao!" ”
Chu Ziqian's expression was very painful when he said this, which made Lu Zhiyao cry and laugh a little. "Do you think that if you plant these peach trees and bloom the peach blossoms, you will be able to find a woman?"
"If you don't mix, you can definitely do it!" Chu Ziqian gave Lu Zhiyao a very positive reply.
"How's your investigation of what I asked you to investigate?"
Chu Ziqian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lu Zhiyao had confessed to him before and asked him to follow Jiang Wei. And he told the family that as long as there was a woman who wanted to see him, he would bring it in, also because Lu Zhiyao mentioned that there might be women who came to him for help, although he hoped that other beauties would come.
"I checked, there are no big moves, but there are a lot of small moves. I haven't seen him go to any fireworks places, but his entourage does frequent. Why, you're coming to me today for this? ”
"No, there's something else." Lu Zhiyao took Chu Ziqian's disappointed look in his eyes and began to talk to him about the real purpose of coming to him today. "There are a lot of people outside the city now, and if you want to get rid of them, you need your help."
"The Blue Netherworld?" Chu Ziqian's expression changed, but he quickly returned to his original state. "What does it have to do with me, this is a matter of the government, I'm just a grass people, so I don't take this risk."
"I'll find you a woman when I'm done."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Chu Ziqian's plain eyes burst into two rays of light in an instant. "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Lu Zhiyao looked at him with a serious expression, "Think about it, if the Qing soldiers really attack, not only will your Chu family's business be implicated, but the matter of you trying to find a beautiful woman will definitely be affected." You helped me, you can kill two birds with one stone, why not? What do you think of me taking you to the Beauty Pavilion? There are so many beauties, you can choose. ”
Lu Zhiyao didn't say that the Beauty Pavilion was okay, but as soon as he mentioned the Beauty Pavilion, Chu Ziqian sighed again. "Eighth Imperial Princess, don't make fun of me, what is the beauty pavilion where do you think I forgot? Kill me, I won't go with you a second time! ”
"Don't worry, this time I'll take you in openly, and then walk out generously, how about it?"
Chu Ziqian looked at her suspiciously, a little unconvinced of what she said. "Tell me what you want me to do."
Lu Zhiyao was brought into the room by Chu Ziqian, told him his plan, and watching Chu Ziqian's expression change, Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Scared?" ”
"Who do you let go, who is not afraid? I haven't gotten married yet, so I don't want to die so early. Chu Ziqian looked at Lu Zhiyao angrily, not understanding why she always likes to do those dangerous things as a woman.
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and kept looking at Chu Ziqian quietly. After a while, Chu Ziqian was uncomfortable with her.
"I'm really scared of you, let's talk about it, this is the last time, don't come to me again in the future!"
"Okay, deal." Lu Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction, and happily agreed to Chu Ziqian, so that Chu Ziqian had to doubt the authenticity of her words.
Lu Zhiyao and Chu Ziqian discussed the matter, and the emperor also issued an order to hand over the military power to Lin Mubai. As soon as the news came out, no one in the government and the opposition was shocked. Mu Wangye almost became the emperor back then, Lin Yunlong has been guarding him for so many years, why did he suddenly make such a move? Aren't you afraid that Lin Mubai will rebel with military power?
After Nangong Ling Feng learned about this matter, he immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Lin Yunlong sat behind the desk, listening to Nangong Ling Feng persuade him to think twice, he frowned slightly, and said, "You have no jokes, does Aiqing want me to take back that holy decree?" ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Mu has been eyeing him all these years, and the ministers are afraid that he will be greedy for the throne again, if he ......"
"Isn't there Aiqing, what am I afraid of?" Lin Yunlong interrupted Nangong Lingfeng's words and said with a smile: "Since Xia Zhenkun's death, there are very few people who can make me trustworthy. Although Aiqing is my courtier, she is also my family. If you put all the military power in your hands, it will definitely provoke rumors from others, and I am also worried that Aiqing will hurt her body if she is too tired. I've been thinking about this for a long time, so I won't say anything more. ”
Nangong Lingfeng gritted his teeth, and saw that he couldn't persuade the emperor, so he had to leave and go to see the queen again.
Nangong Liuxi was also shocked by this news, she looked at Nangong Lingfeng worriedly, and asked, "Won't the emperor find out about our plan, so he ......?" ”
"It's impossible, and even if he knows the truth, the emperor shouldn't be looking for Lin Mubai." Nangong Ling Feng looked at Nangong Liuxi thoughtfully, "These two fought to the death back then, do you think they might cooperate?" ”
"This is too strange, brother, I think it's better for you to be careful. If Lin Mubai finds out about our plan, he may do something, and when he gets to the bottom, don't let him benefit. ”
"I understand, I'll make arrangements for this again, don't worry." Nangong Lingfeng nodded, the anger in his heart was burning, he had been planning for so long, and suddenly he was about to give up because of a Lin Mubai, how could he be unwilling.
Lu Zhiyao handed over Bai Lixuan and the three to Chu Ziqian, explained what they had to do, and let them go out of the city. Although Bai Lixuan's martial arts are not bad, they are still a bit behind Chu Ziqian, and Chu Ziqian's light skills are very good, and escaping at a critical moment can also help them a lot, which is also the reason why Lu Zhiyao picked Chu Ziqian.
In the capital as usual, because of Ruan Chen's treatment, the poison in many people's bodies has been resolved, and the deserted streets have slowly returned to their previous appearance. Little did they know that this place was being watched by foreign enemies and could be captured at any time.
A few days later, Lu Zhiyao was sitting alone in the room looking at the map and pondering, but the uninvited Yin Jianli broke the silence.
"What does Uncle Huang command?" Lu Zhiyao looked up at Yin Jianli, thinking that it was Lin Mubai who wanted her to do something.
"The prince asked me to help the imperial concubine arrest those two people from the Qing Netherworld." Yin Jianli said in a low voice: "I have already found out where those two are, Nangong Lingfeng moved them out of Nangong Mansion. ”
"When to do it." Lu Zhiyao had been thinking about killing those two people for a long time, so he immediately stood up after hearing Yin Jianli's words.
"Tonight, I'll pick you up after dark."
"Okay, wait for you."
After Yin Jian left, Lu Zhiyao began to prepare. After busy until it was dark, she followed Yin Jianli and left, heading towards the place where the two people from the Qing Netherworld were.
The place Nangong Lingfeng chose for the two of them was not far from Nangong Mansion, and the place was not big, and he also sent some servants to serve them. However, in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, it was more like an arrangement to spy on them.
Lu Zhiyao and Yin Jianli exchanged glances, and the two sneaked into the house one after the other. Working together to kill the guards in the courtyard, the two of them were ghostly, and before the other party could find out that they were already behind them, covering their mouths and cutting their throats, and within a while, there were many more corpses on the ground.
Lu Zhiyao held a dagger in his hand, and after catching a glimpse of a dark room lit up, she and Yin Jianli jumped one after another and placed themselves on the roof.
After Jun Qianluo heard the broken voice, he thought that he was too careful. But when he walked out of the room and saw that the guards who were supposed to be in the courtyard were gone, he immediately became suspicious.
He stood still and didn't move, but directly shouted to Jun Qianyan in the room next to him. Jun Qianyan was sleeping, and after hearing his voice, he hurriedly walked out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Be careful, something isn't right." Jun Qianluo said in a low voice, and the two walked side by side towards the outside of the courtyard, and when they found those corpses, Lu Zhiyao and Yin Jianli also floated to the ground. Jun Qianluo and the others quickly jumped out of place and dodged their attacks.
Lu Zhiyao and Yin Jianli picked one by one, and Zhilu Dao These two people are good at poisoning, so they don't dare to underestimate the enemy, for fear that if they accidentally get a cut on their bodies, it will be enough for them to die.
The opponent's martial arts are not weak, Yin Jianli has no extra energy to help Lu Zhiyao, but he also remembers what Lin Mubai said before, if he can't succeed, he will take Lu Zhiyao first. Yin Jianli was also afraid that Lu Zhiyao would be injured by the enemy, so he used his spare eyes to look at her, but found that Lu Zhiyao seemed to be more relaxed than himself.
After Lu Zhiyao's training, he looked at the enemies in front of him again, and only felt that they were too different from Lin Mubai, it was simply heaven and earth.
Fighting against Lin Mubai, Lu Zhiyao often can't even guess where he will appear in the next moment, and he can't stop it, sometimes even if he can capture Lin Mubai's breath, he knows which direction he will come, but he will also be defeated because his speed is not as fast as the other party. But now, she could clearly see the other person's moves, and react correctly between his moves without hurrying.
Yin Jianli also settled down to deal with the enemy in front of him, and after a vicious fight, he finally subdued the enemy. But before they could take the two Qing Netherworld people away, Nangong Ling Feng suddenly appeared in front of them.
Lu Zhiyao was stunned, first killed the enemy, and then stood there back to back with Yin Jianli, looking at Nangong Lingfeng and Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang who were surrounding her, she was a little skeptical, whether they had arrived a long time ago, just waiting for their hands to kill these two people and then reappear.
Nangong Ling Feng looked at the two masked people in the courtyard coldly, if he hadn't set up a secret room in this courtyard to the outside of the house in advance, and arranged for Jun Qianluo and Jun Qianyan to monitor the people who didn't know about it, presumably after he knew that they were killed, they would have to wait until dawn tomorrow.
