Chapter Twenty-Three: Death in His Place

The envoy of the court was used as a spearman and was unaware of it, wrote a whistleblower letter and handed it to the messenger, and only ordered 800 li to be sent to the capital urgently, but he didn't even cover it.

Wuhuan smiled coldly when he got the news, just such a Han person, can he be an official?

However, in order for the letter to reach the Queen Mother in the capital smoothly, Wuhuan didn't mind helping a group of stupid officials to cover up.

And Lu Mingshuang on the other side was still in the dark, completely unaware that he had been calculated. She only said that Wuhuan was very strange and didn't move for a long time, but she didn't expect that Wuhuan had secretly used other means.

If Wuhuan came openly, Lu Mingshuang would still have a few chances of winning, but if Wuhuan acted secretly, no matter how much Lu Mingshuang was prepared, he would not be able to stand up to his own people stabbing the knife.

Isn't Zheng Xiaoxiao the best card to use?

Within half a month, the secret letter was sent to the Queen Mother of the capital. The Queen Mother has always been wary of Lu Li, and when she got the news of Lu Li's collusion with Youzhou Mu, she was angry and secretly sent a killer to Youzhou.

To take the head of the Lu family, no matter who it is.

Chu Xin went in and out of Lu Mingting's courtyard every day, although Lu Mingting was not warm with her, Chu Xin still came every day.

Sending medicinal herbs today and borrowing a book tomorrow made Lu Mingting tired of arguing, he didn't know why Chu Xin had so many problems, so he had to pester him.

Although the relationship between Chu Xin and Lu Mingting has not made any substantial progress, the relationship with Lu Mingshuang has inexplicably improved.

is even so good that he can call his sister and sister, even if Lu Mingting doesn't like Chu Xin, he will inevitably have to give his sister some face.

So later, when Chu Xin entered and exited Lu Mingting's courtyard again, he didn't bother to pay attention. He pretended not to see it, and only read his military books every day, learned strategy, and learned the art of war.

"Brother Lu, I got a gadget yesterday, and I specially brought it to you today." Chu Xin sat on the stone bench opposite Lu Mingting with a smile.

When Chu Xin spoke, the surface of the lake was blowing a wave of blue waves, and the three or two golden tails in the pool took advantage of the good spring sunshine to frolic with each other.

Lu Mingting's eyes were only staring at the book in his hand, and he basically wouldn't respond to what Chu Xin said.

Chu Xin never seemed to feel embarrassed, although Lu Mingting rarely paid attention to her. She also has a lot of things to chat with Lu Mingting, such as yesterday she lost the hairpin ring, and today she ate more after dinner.

These trivial things, Chu Xin himself can talk about for a long time.

Lu Mingting used to like to be quiet when he read books, but gradually after Chu Xin came, he even had someone chirping in his ear, noisy like a sparrow, and he could turn a blind eye and read with peace of mind.

There were even times when Chu Xin didn't chirp in his ear when he was reading, and he would be a little unaccustomed to it.

When he realized this problem, he was so frightened that he practiced practicing calligraphy all night that night, so that Chu Xin thought he was sick again the next day.

In short, Chu Xin was noisy in his ears every day, and after a long time, he didn't feel so annoying.

"Brother Lu, do you want to know what kind of treasure it is?" Chu Xin saw that Lu Mingting didn't answer, still blinking her beautiful eyes and asked.

Chu Xin likes to raise the tail note when he speaks, and Lu Mingting accidentally raised his head and crashed into Chu Xin's eyes full of smiles. He was stunned for a moment, and he was embarrassed.

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Lu Mingting asked lightly, "What baby?" ”

Chu Xin didn't expect Lu Mingting to be really curious, so he stood up in surprise.

"Brother Lu, you wait, I'll go get it." Chu Xin's happy figure disappeared into the corridor all of a sudden.

Lu Mingting couldn't help but laugh, what was she so excited about, he just asked casually, and didn't say that he had to watch it now.

Lu Mingting didn't know that the corners of his mouth quietly pulled up a faint arc after Chu Xin left, if others didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see that Lu Mingting was smiling at all.

The killer sent by the Queen Mother has been lurking in Lu Mingting's courtyard for several days, hoping to have a chance to kill Lu Mingting. It's a pity that Lu Mingting doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and he has a master around him to protect him, so it's not easy to succeed.

Therefore, the killer set his sights on Chu Xin, and the killer got the information that Lu Mingting had a younger sister. Except for Chu Xin, a woman who can enter and leave Lu Mingting's courtyard at will, no one else has entered or exited here. The killer determined that Chu Xinding was Lu Mingting's sister, Lu Mingshuang.

He had been guarding here for several days, and finally, Chu Xin's solitary figure appeared in front of him.

The killer quietly followed behind Chu Xin, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Chu Xin was still immersed in the world of Lu Mingting's reply, and did not notice the danger coming.

Just as Chu Xin walked through the back door, he killed the hand.

He sealed his throat with a sword, and Chu Xin didn't even make a sound, he had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"Brother Lu......" Chu Xin's last sentence was still Lu Mingting's name.

The killer only heard the word big brother clearly, smiled coldly, and turned to leave.

He killed a Lu family, and he can be regarded as completing the task. Who knows, before he could walk out of the back door, he was caught by Shen Yu, who was leading people to patrol.

"Who?" Shen Yu's eyes lit up, and he began to be vigilant when he looked at the man in black.

The killer panicked and turned around to flee.

"Come, surround him." Seeing that he wanted to escape, Shen Yu immediately ordered to chase the man in black.

The soldiers scattered in all directions, besieging the man in black in the center.

"Ahh Oh no, Miss Chu...... Miss Chu is dead! Suddenly there was a scream in the courtyard.

This did not prevent Shen Yu from hearing clearly what was being said.

"Someone, he's an assassin, catch him." Shen Yu took the lead, his eyes changed, and he drew his sword and started to kill him.

In the end, the killer was defeated and arrested.

Chu Xin died, and when Lu Mingshuang got the news, the body had already been moved to the main courtyard.

Lu Mingting stood not far from Chu Xin's corpse, his face pale.

How so, how so? Obviously, the girl who was talking and laughing with him just now is lying on the ground. She should get up and sing, and get up and dance.

Lu Mingting's eyes were very astringent, as if there was something in his eyes, and he wanted to roll out.

"I'm going to kill you, what are you, why should my precious daughter die for you?" Chu Yixi, who heard the news, had red eyes and a hideous face.

"Lord Chu, you calm down first." Zheng Tong saw that the situation was not good, and immediately stepped forward to stop it.

Lu Mingting didn't say a word.

In fact, from the moment Shen Yu came forward to report the confession of the man in black, Lu Mingting had already fallen into the demonic barrier of Chu Xin's death.

Chu Xin died on his behalf.

How so? He kept asking himself, how could Chu Xin die, who was it, who sent it?

When Lu Mingshuang came in, what he saw was the decadent eldest brother and the painful Chu Yixi.

Lu Mingshuang was still incredulous when she learned of Chu Xin's death, how could it be?
