"Where's Childe?"

"The boat was tired, the son was too tired, and the lady didn't know when the adult would come, so she took the son to rest first."

"Well, that's fine."

After several days of long travel, Li Ling and his party finally arrived in Xianyang City.

After arriving in Xianyang City, he did not see the King of Qin, did not enter the palace of the King of Qin, and did not even see Lü Buwei, but lived in a post house under Lü Buwei's instructions.

He had already settled down at noon, but it was not until the second half of the night that Lü Buwei hurried over.

"Is Lord Lu in trouble?"

"Hey, the king has promised to issue an edict ordering me to personally go out of the city to meet the son, who knows that he suddenly changed his hexagram, and he has never mentioned this matter again these times, and the king's meaning is really unpredictable."

"There are only you and me here, why should Lord Lu be so careful?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing more than that there is a situation on Mrs. Huayang's side, what else can it mean?"

Li Ling didn't believe that Lu Buwei couldn't even see such an obvious thing, this person was just pretending to be confused, or rather, he was testing Li Ling.

But in the face of Lü Buwei's test, Li Ling obviously has two options, either he will pretend to be stupid, the result is that Lü Buwei will not be too wary of himself, a master with super weapons is a little stupid, is there anything easier to use and more assured than this kind of person?

However, Li Ling did not choose to be such a person, he just wanted to tell Lu Buwei that he was not so stupid and not so easy to control, in fact, the main purpose of this was to prevent Lu Buwei from letting himself do something very excessive and extremely dangerous and thankless in the future.

"Brother Li Ling is used to being unrestrained, but brother, you have to be careful, this is Xianyang after all, you must be careful that the wall has ears, and you must also prevent disasters from coming out of your mouth. The Empress Dowager Huayang has a noble status, how can we speculate? ”

"Thank you for the reminder. But people have already been bullied to the head, and adults are stumped to swallow this breath? What's more, now that she can stop the king from issuing an edict, it is inevitable that she will not do anything more unfavorable to you and me and Zhenggongzi in the future. ”

"Although the king is afraid of the Queen Mother, it does not mean that he will let the Queen Mother do something to his wife and children."

"Even if she won't kill her son, have you ever thought that if this situation continues, the king will never be able to reunite with Zhao Ji's mother and son, then won't your years of efforts be in vain? Strange goods can live in exchange for a lot of money in exchange for a king who is subject to people, and makes a wedding dress for the childless Mrs. Huayang, are you willing? Moreover, did the adult really think that the Queen Mother would let the adult sit in her current position? You must know that the adults have already taken the political prince to Xianyang! ”

As soon as Lu Buwei finished speaking, Li Ling directly opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, and he did not deviate from the key to the question.

"The king has always been the king, but now the king has just succeeded to the throne and has not yet gained a firm foothold, so he will be controlled by others. What's more, Lü Buwei is just dedicated to the Qin State, if the political prince is not as good as the prince of Cheng, then Lü Buwei should naturally do his best to assist the prince of Cheng. ”

"What kind of temperament is Yingyiren, I believe ......"

"Don't call the king by his name."

stepped forward to cover Li Ling's mouth, and then signaled the personal guards who followed him to guard outside the door, and Lu Buwei relieved himself.

"I have not met the king, but I have heard of it. Adults and the king have known each other for many years, who do you think the king will stand next to when you have a conflict with the queen mother? ”

In just one sentence, Lu Buwei was asked to death.

I thought that I could sit back and relax by putting Ying Yiren on the throne, not to mention that my relationship with Mrs. Huayang was also very good, but Lu Buwei never thought that the situation would not develop according to his own assumptions, but it took a sharp turn for the worse, obviously Mrs. Huayang had already regarded Lu Buwei as an enemy after learning that she welcomed Zhao Ji's mother and son back to China.

"Brother Li, what do you think should be?"

"I don't have anything to see, but Lord Lu came late at night, I think it must be not just to care about Zhao Ji's mother and son. Since Master Lu already has an idea, why bother to play dumb riddles with me? ”

Coming to the inn in a hurry late at night is definitely not because there are other things to deal with, either to hide people's eyes and ears, or to deal with emergencies.

"I just got the news that someone wants to be unfavorable to Zhenggongzi, although Meng Wu has been arranged to be in charge of the post house guards, but I am still a little uneasy, so I came late at night."

Seeing through his intentions, Lu Buwei didn't feel embarrassed, but just said it lightly.

"I don't know if it's the Queen Mother or someone else?"

"I don't know, although the arrival of the lady and the son in Xianyang has not been made public, but the court has long been known."

"Time, place! If someone wants to murder his son, I will kill one of them, and I will kill one of the two. ”

"At dawn today, it's at the post house. Since they are ready to do it, they must be prepared, Brother Li should not take it lightly, in my opinion, it is better to transfer their mother and son first. ”

"Don't you believe me?"

"No, no. Of course, I believe that brother, you have the courage to defend against all armies, but after all, Mrs. and Son are not warriors, if you really fight, brother, you still have to kill the enemy and protect the two of them, I am afraid that it will become a burden to you, which is not good for you. ”

Hearing Li Ling's questioning, Lu Buwei hurriedly explained, for fear that Li Ling would misunderstand.

In Lu Buwei's opinion, Li Ling's performance today is really full marks, such a person must be won over well, and he must not become an opponent because of some of his words.

"What does Lord Lu mean?"

"It's still early, and I want my brother to take his wife and son to a safe place to hide first, but this matter must be done in secret, so I can't give my brother any hands. As for the post house, General Mengwu's manpower and previous guards will stay behind, and strive to catch all the people in the future! When the time comes, I want to see who dares to do it under my nose Lu Buwei! ”

Most of the things that Lu Buwei showed before were calculating, and it wasn't until this moment that Li Ling clearly saw the unusually fierce gaze in his eyes!

This person is really not simply a shrewd businessman or a veteran of officialdom!

"In that case, then please send someone to guide the way, and I will take my wife and son away now."

"Brother Li, don't worry, I'll take you out of here personally."

Signaling Li Ling to be calm and not to be impatient, Lu Buwei walked straight to the wing of the post house, where Zhao Ji's mother and son rested.
