When the emperor received the secret letter sent back to the palace by Wang Zhen outside the palace, the anger in his heart burned like a flame, and this emotion almost swallowed his whole person.

The chamberlain Zhao Chang saw that the emperor's mood was wrong, so he asked softly about what the secret letter said.

"See for yourself!" The Emperor snapped and threw the secret letter on the table.

Zhao Chang respectfully picked up the letterhead and looked at it, his face turned pale: "General Lu colluded with martial arts people, how is this possible, Your Majesty, you know General Lu's temperament, before the country was in trouble, he gave up his wife and children at home to go to the border to fight, and now that the war has finally subsided, how can he collude with martial arts people in a vain attempt to make the court unstable?" There must be a ghost in this matter. ”

The emperor's anger did not subside, and he sneered: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, who knows what thoughts he has in his heart?" ”

Compared with Lu Li, the emperor has a deeper trust in Wang Zhen.

After all, he is a secret guard who has been by his side for many years, and he is more cautious than ordinary people, and he will not talk nonsense until there is enough evidence.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more chilled he felt: "I am not kind to Lu Li, but it is really disappointing that he repays me like this!" ”

His anger burned until the next morning.

The main topic of today's early dynasty is the previous war, these things should have been summed up by Lu Li and Li Wenfeng, but the whole process of the early dynasty, the emperor did not give Lu Li a chance to speak, and even his eyes did not stop on him for a moment, obviously ignoring Lu Li to the end.

Yesterday, he praised in front of hundreds of officials, and his face changed in one day, which not only made the person concerned feel puzzled, but even the other ministers did not understand why.

There are some exceptions, though.

Among them is General Li Wenfeng, who took Lu Li all the way to today, and when he saw Lu Li's dazed expression, he gently patted Lu Li's shoulder when everyone was not paying attention.

After the end of the early dynasty, he also invited Lu Li to sit at his house.

Lu Li, who was full of doubts, had a lot of questions to ask him, so he nodded without hesitation.

As soon as the two came to Li Wenfeng to sit down, Lu Li couldn't wait to ask the doubts in his heart.

Why did the emperor suddenly change his face?

Li Wenfeng shook his head with a complicated expression: "Haven't you heard of the old saying, a companion is like a tiger." ”

Most of the kings are like their emperors, once the general's merits are too great, the influence is too great, and it may even threaten the stability of the court, or the situation in the world, the emperor will change his face, and now the emperor's cold face to Lu Li is actually a very ordinary thing, if the emperor has always trusted and relied on Lu Li, it is abnormal.

Lu Li's breath was suffocated, and he suddenly remembered the past many years ago.

"Why don't you speak?" Li Wenfeng was taken aback by his solemn expression.

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered some of the past." Lu Li had an indifferent smile on his face, "I understand that the emperor may be suspicious of me, but I can't understand where this suspicion comes from, General Li, I have always been by your side, what is my character, you should know best, I have never done a single thing of treason, and I was the first one to fight during the war, why did I do it so much, the emperor would still doubt me?" ”

The words he asked were relatively sharp, and Li Wenfeng didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"How can I say this, the king's mind is never something that we people can guess," Li Wenfeng coughed lightly and said, "I can only say that maybe someone is secretly provoking." ”

Could it be Feng Bailin?

The name suddenly popped up in Lu Li's heart.

Before he could imagine the possibility of this, Li Wenfeng turned his head and said to him with a solemn expression: "Although it is cruel to tell you these advantages, I think it is better to pay more attention in the future for the sake of your life safety." ”

Li Wenfeng told Lu Li that there was a group of particularly mysterious guards around the emperor, and each of them was strong in martial arts, which could be said to kill people invisibly.

"There have been officials who died at the hands of the secret guards before, and now you are suspicious of the emperor, it is hard to guarantee that he will not order the secret guards to come and assassinate, pay more attention in the future."

When Li Wenfeng spoke, his expression was very solemn, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

Lu Li was frightened by the narrative in her mouth: "Will it really come to such a step?" ”

"I'm not sure about this," Li Wenfeng confessed, "The main decision-making power is still on the emperor's side, and his mind can't be easily shaken." ”

After a pause, he suddenly remembered another thing, raised his face and said to Lu Li: "If I remember correctly, the most trusted secret guard in that group of secret guards is named Wang Zhen, and it is said that he is also the most powerful person among all the secret guards, if you have a chance to meet him in the future, it is best to leave as soon as possible." ”

Lu Li frowned and nodded, and when he was thinking about what method to use to deal with it, Hua Qiqi, who was beside him, suddenly said a word.

Said an unidentified person. I'm thinking of someone! Hua Qiqi said with a complicated expression, "Yesterday there was a very strange guest in the restaurant, after entering the restaurant, he didn't choose to eat well, but turned his head to tease Miss Liu'er, and then he was beaten up by Miss Jia, general, you said this kind of person, is it possible that it is the secret guard you said?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Li and Li Wenfeng were shocked.

"You say there's something going on in the restaurant?" Lu Li's brows tightened, even if he searched all the memories in his mind, he didn't think of anything like that.

An Xiabai never mentioned it to him at all.

Hua Qiqi knew that he had made a mistake, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "This thing is true." ”

Later, he also told the description of Wang Zhen's appearance by the restaurant maid.

When Li Wenfeng heard this, he immediately clapped: "He is Wang Zhen!" ”

Thinking that this kind of murderous person who did not blink an eye had appeared in the restaurant, Lu Li felt flustered, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Li Wenfeng, he pulled the Huaqi flag and walked in the direction of the restaurant.

He was desperate to see An Xiabai, but when he arrived at the place, he didn't even see a figure.

"She hasn't come back yet." Jia Jia lowered her face and told Lu Li, what she never expected was that Lu Li's eyes turned on her, and finally nodded: "Do you remember the face of the person who came to the restaurant to make trouble yesterday and was beaten away by you?" ”

He's talking about Wang Zhen!

Jia Jia recalled almost instantly: "Of course I remember his face, there are not many people who have come to our restaurant to make trouble recently." ”

Lu Li's eyes lit up slightly, and he was extremely glad that Jia Jia could draw.

If it weren't for this skill, maybe they would have to take a long, long detour if they wanted to lock on to the target in the future: "Miss Jia, can you draw his face?" ”

Jia Jia didn't understand this, in her eyes, Wang Zhen was just a gangster with good martial arts, and he was also the kind of gangster who liked to bully weak women, why was Lu Li so concerned?

"Is he a big deal?"

Lu Li nodded without hesitation: "It's very important." ”

Regarding the characters who are safe with An Xiabai and his own life, maybe they will also threaten the safety of the Lu family, of course it matters!

"Then I'll draw it right away." Jia Jia was infected by his nervous expression and began to become nervous.

She hurried to the lounge to get pen and paper, grinded and painted, and in a short time she drew Wang Zhen's face.

When Jia Jia went downstairs with the scroll, Ruqing happened to be busy with the matter at hand and ran over to join in the fun, and when she saw the face on the scroll, she raised her eyebrows: "Heh, isn't this the little gangster who came to our restaurant to make trouble yesterday for no reason, if I hadn't reacted at the time, I would have pressed him to the ground and beat him to make Liu Er angry!" ”

Ruqing's eager appearance made Jia Jia feel funny.

Her gaze turned to Lu Li, and she asked with doubts: "General Lu stares at him like this, is he your enemy?" ”

"No, the enemy is not counted, mainly because of his identity." Lu Li said with a solemn expression, "If you see the whole person in the future, it's best to stay away from him, if not, report to me in time, this person is very dangerous." ”

As for why it was dangerous, Lu Li didn't want them to be involved in the situation of the imperial court, so he didn't say anything.

Jia Jia was interested in it, and he didn't ask.

Just as they were gathered around to discuss Wang Zhen, Shen Ya walked in from outside carrying something.

"How did you gather here?" Shen Ya raised his eyebrows and slowly walked to Ruqing's side.

"I'm discussing things," Ruqing's eyes lit up slightly, and when she saw Shen Ya, she pulled people and didn't let go, "Where did you go just now, I searched everywhere and didn't find anyone." ”

Shen Ya smiled softly and gently raised the oil paper bag in his hand: "Didn't you say that you want to eat sweet, I will go outside and buy you some candied fruit, and it is good to eat some when you are fine." ”

The interaction between the two can be said to be envious of everyone.

Jia Jia coughed lightly, and when Shen Ya's eyes looked at him, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the picture scroll on the table: "Lord Shen, if you meet this person in the future, try to stay away from him." ”

"Huh?" Shen Ya's eyebrows raised slightly, "I just saw him." ”

When he was buying candied fruit at a small shop on the street just now, Shen Ya clearly saw the people on the picture scroll, standing with Feng Bailin.

The two of them didn't know what to say together, talking and laughing all the way, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"I see!" Ruqing finally understood that Lu Li would say that Wang Zhen was a dangerous person, it turned out that it was because of his special relationship with Feng Bailin, "When they are together, they are embarrassed!" ”

Shen Ya helplessly patted her shoulder and reminded her to speak quietly.

Just when everyone was scolding Feng Bailin and Wang Zhen, An Xiabai finally returned to the restaurant.

Lu Li was the first person to find her, and the action of getting up and rushing over was done in one go, An Xiabai was almost startled by him, especially after Lu Li held her tightly in his arms regardless of everyone's sight, this doubt became more and more intense: "Husband, so many people are watching, it is very bad for you to hug me like this, let me go first, we have something to say." ”

An Xia Bai said that Lu Li let go of his hand.

Worry shrouded her heart: "Husband, your mood today is very wrong, is something wrong?" ”

"There was no accident today," Lu Li tried to calm his mood and said softly, "But it won't be necessary in the future." ”
