An Xiabai and Li Wenfeng recognized each other on the night of the prince's wedding, which means that she has more protection in the capital, so when Lu Li left the capital to go on the expedition, her heart was at peace.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get tired of it, and the time turned to the time of the expedition.

On the day of separation, An Xiabai stuffed many things into Lu Li's hands, each of which she made by herself.

"Husband, you remember," she whispered, "In this blue baggage, I bought the wound medicine for your husband, both internal and external, and the effects are written on it, and the other burden is the candy I made for the soldiers, although it is a little sweet, and the soldiers may not like it, but it is a heart, and eating some on the way can also satisfy the cravings." ”

Listening to her careful advice, Lu Li's heart turned into a puddle of water.

His wife is really getting more and more cute.

The two of them stood together and talked a lot, and they didn't reluctantly part until they were ready to leave, and at this time, the person who talked a lot became Lu Li.

"Madam, you are in the capital, you must be careful, you must not be reckless when you encounter something, don't be embarrassed if you can let General Li help, if there is anything difficult to solve, you can also go to the old lady to discuss."

An Xiabai couldn't help but want to laugh when he said this.

"Don't worry, husband, I have my own measure."

At this moment, Zhou also rushed over.

At this time, she was supposed to take care of her two children at home, but two days ago she went to the temple to ask for peace, and spent money to let the monks in the temple consecrate the copper coin, so she hurried over.

"This copper coin can protect your safety, you keep it."

Zhou's serious appearance in exchange for Lu Li's smile, he has already become a person who does not believe in gods and Buddhas and only believes in himself, and never believes in the theory of cause and effect reincarnation, but believe it or not, the amulet given by his mother must be accepted, and it is hidden close to his body.

Zhou said with tears in his eyes: "I don't know when I will be able to come back, you must take care of yourself." ”

Lu Li solemnly agreed.

At this moment, the sound of a trumpet was heard not far away, and the army was about to set off.

Zhou and An Xiabai's reluctant eyes fell on Lu Li, and he turned around resolutely.

Along the way, he didn't dare to look back.

"Okay, Aunt Zhou, my husband has gone so far, let's not look any further, let's go back first."

As she spoke, she held Zhou's arm, and Zhou agreed softly, her body trembling so much that she could barely stand.

Just as they were slowly walking in the direction of the Lu family, another place in the capital was experiencing life and death.

Zhang Xiaodong tightly covered the mouth of a person dressed as a guard, a short knife in his hand was pressed against his neck, and his gaze was also vicious: "You tell me, where is Feng Bailin?" ”

The guard's face turned pale, and he couldn't stop shaking his head: "Your Highness, Your Highness just went to the palace and is not in the palace at this time." ”

It seems that he is a step too late.

Zhang Xiaodong glanced at Feng Bailin's mansion, his eyes were full of resentment, he originally planned to find Feng Bailin directly today and give him a few knives to avenge his brother Hua Qiqi, but he hurried all the way, and deliberately dropped the team, but he still couldn't see Feng Bailin, it is estimated that the other party is really fateful.

Hmph, he may not have such good luck next time.

"Hero, let me go, I'm also ordered to do things, just begging for a living, and I can't do what my master tells me."

The cold knife was against his throat, and as long as Zhang Xiaodong's hand used a little force, the guard's throat might be cut, so he was very nervous, and even when he spoke, his voice couldn't help but tremble.

It's a pity that his plea for mercy is useless in front of Zhang Xiaodong.

Thinking of Hua Qiqi's death and Jia Jia's sad departure, Zhang Xiaodong felt that Feng Bailin and the lackeys under him should die.

He gritted his teeth, clutched the guard's mouth, muffled his struggles and begs for mercy, and slashed his neck with a short knife.

A man who looked very strong fell in a pool of blood.

Zhang Xiaodong looked at his corpse, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his lips.

"It's good that I didn't get my clothes dirty, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when I see Brother Lu later."

He muttered, then slowly turned away.

By the time Zhang Xiaodong caught up, the team had already left the capital for a while, and this was the result of Lu Li deliberately slowing down the pace of the march, if he hadn't ordered the army to go slowly, it was estimated that Zhang Xiaodong had not caught up at this time.

"Why did you get here so long?" Lu Li asked with a frown.

"There was a little thing on the way, so it was delayed." Zhang Xiaodong scratched his hair, smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'll go and get the punishment myself later, Brother Lu, don't be angry, I won't dare to do it in the future." ”

In view of Zhang Xiaodong's good attitude of admitting mistakes, Lu Li couldn't find fault with him and let him go.

"You must not do this again in the future, no matter what happens on the road, you must remember that the military order is like a mountain."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

The matter of Zhang Xiaodong leaving the army without authorization was exposed in the past.

At this time, Feng Bailin in the palace didn't know that his subordinates were assassinated by Zhang Xiaodong, he raised his head and looked at the people on the throne with a worried expression.

"Father, what the son said is true, Lu Li has the intention of rebellion, otherwise he has been in close contact with General Li recently, what is he doing?"

The emperor looked puzzled: "I heard another version, saying that General Li and General Lu had a close relationship because of Mrs. Lu, and it is said that Mrs. Lu is General Li's long-lost daughter. ”

"It can't be." Without thinking about it, Feng Bailin sentenced him to death for this statement, "If Mrs. Lu is really General Li's long-lost daughter, then why didn't she recognize him before, but she has to wait until this time, when Lu Li holds the military power, there must be something wrong with this." ”

Feng Bailin kept talking, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Later, the emperor found him annoyed: "Okay, you don't have to explain, you just need to tell me what you want to do now." ”

Feng Bailin was waiting for this sentence.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that Lu Li now holds the military power, and he also has close contacts with the border soldiers, maybe one day he will do something that harms the interests of the court, so we have to contain him before he has different intentions. As for how to contain Lu Li, Erchen felt that his pair of sons and his wife were the best. ”

As soon as he talked about Lu Li's child, the emperor couldn't help but think of Xiaodong Xiaoxue.

According to Feng Bailin, containment is to bring the two children to the palace, and he is very moved by this.

The palace has not had a newborn child for many years, so many years have passed, the prince and the princess have grown up, even the youngest one, is fourteen or fifteen years old, if Lu Li's two children Xiaodong Xiaoxue are brought to the palace, maybe it can make the palace more lively.

"I'll consider your thoughts."

Receiving the emperor's response, Feng Bailin almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

The emperor is like this, he said that he would think about it, which means that he has already been tempted, I am afraid that in a few days, Xiaodong and Xiaoxue will be taken to live in the palace, and An Xiabai will be outside the palace at that time, if he wants to attack the two children, it will not be easy?

Feng Bailin left the palace with a heart full of joy.

Facts have proved that the emperor really has the heart to take Xiaodong Xiaoxue to the palace, because in the past few days, he not only ordered someone to rearrange a courtyard in the palace, but also asked people to buy a lot of children's supplies.

This move successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the harem.

In their spare time, people began to discuss the cause of this strange incident.

Xiaofuzi is also among them, he is the chamberlain who lost the prince Gengtie that day, and when he heard that the emperor was going to detain Xiaodong Xiaoxue into the palace as a hostage, he was so frightened that his soul was about to fly.

Early the next morning, when the people in the imperial dining room went out to buy, Xiao Fuzi deliberately used help as an excuse to sneak out of the palace and go straight to the restaurant.

It happened that An Xiabai was also in the restaurant, so he shook out all the things he had said from other people's mouths.

"Although the discussion of the palace people may not be accurate, there is nothing groundless in the world, there must be something strange in it, Mrs. Lu, it is better for you to take precautions as soon as possible."

Ruqing, who was listening to Cheng Cheng next to her, also realized the seriousness of the matter, and repeatedly said no.

"Separating two young children from their mothers is a clear bully, and we can't hand them over."

"yes, that's what I thought too."

An Xia Bai frowned, and soon returned to the Lu family.

As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the room, and while packing up the two children's things, she ordered someone to invite Zhou and the two children.

"What's going on?" Zhou, who came with Xiaodong Xiaoxue, didn't know what to do.

This kind of thing, An Xiabai couldn't explain it clearly to Zhou's for a while, so he simply didn't explain, only said that the capital has not been safe recently, and for the sake of insurance, he is going to send her and her two children out of the city to live for two days, as for when it will be in the capital, An Xiabai doesn't know.

"When this is all over, I'll go over there and get you back."

When she spoke, her expression was very anxious, so Zhou didn't dare to ask more.

Just as An Xiabai was packing his luggage, Feng Bailin had just received a message from his subordinates.

The henchman who disappeared in the capital a few days ago was found, but what they found was only a corpse, and the person was already dead.

Feng Bailin was furious, only annoyed.

"Have you found out who killed him?"

The guard in charge of delivering the message shook his head: "I haven't been able to find clues on him, and now that the people from the government have intervened in the investigation, I believe it won't take long to find out." ”

Do you still need to check this?

Feng Bailin secretly gritted his teeth and pushed everything on Lu Li's head.

On the day Lu Li set out, his most trusted henchman disappeared inexplicably, indicating that this matter must be related to Lu Li, and he had to find a way to prevent Lu Li from getting better.

"Hmph, before I made a move, you attacked my people, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Feng Bailin flicked his sleeves and got up, and called the housekeeper in a loud voice: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the capital to complain." ”
