"Not staring?" Dai Qian looked a little surprised.

Lu Kai maintained a shallow smile on his face and said, "If you are going out of the city tomorrow night, you don't have to keep an eye on it, and you will have a good rest tomorrow to have the energy to protect the prince."

Dai Qian blinked, and thought about it, "You really don't have to star?" ”

Lu Kai smiled and said, "You didn't say that they do the same thing every day, in that case, what is there to keep an eye on, go back and get ready, and we'll see you tomorrow night."

Dai Qian got up and looked at Lu Kai's room with feeling, "I suddenly want to leave, but I am a little reluctant to leave this room."

Lu Kai was quite empathetic and smiled, "Yes, in this room, many things have happened inside and outside the house, but from tomorrow onwards, it can only become a memory."

Dai Qian is not sad and pats Lu Kai on the shoulder, "See you tomorrow night"

Dai Qian left through the back window.

Dai Qian had time to rest, Lu Kai didn't, Cheng Weilian hadn't figured out how to poison him, and there was some noise in the house, and he walked out of the yard and sat with his back to the moon on the ridge of the roof.

Now it is about a change that Lu Kai has not yet fallen asleep, people sit on the roof and think about what Dai Qian has reported for several days, the more he thinks about it, the more muddy his thoughts become, Lu Kai muttered, "What is the prime minister's method?" If you want to assassinate a child, you must use poison, how can Cheng Weilian use poison without defense in such a situation? ”

The thoughts have not been solved, there are footsteps on the path outside the courtyard, Lu Kai sat and looked at the roof through the moonlight, at first he thought it was the guard in the department, but after a closer look, the person he saw was Chen Zhan.

Seeing Chen Zhan and Lu Kai busy lying down, he said in his heart, "What is he doing in the middle of the night?" ”

Chen Zhan walked along the path, and Lu Kai wanted to know Chen Zhan's intentions, jumped down from the house and secretly followed.

Lu Kai followed behind Chen Zhan, Chen Zhan's posture and steps looked sneaky, Lu Kai didn't quite understand that even if there was a ghost in his heart, he didn't need to look left and right, and he would be light-footed, wouldn't this make others more suspicious?

Chen Zhan went to Cheng Wei's subordinate courtyard, and Lu Kai followed behind and said, "There must be a ghost looking for someone so late."

However, Lu Kai guessed wrong, Chen Zhan was going to the direction of Cheng Weilian's hospital, but he passed by the gate of the courtyard and walked straight, and in front of him was the direction of the back kitchen. ”

Of course Chen Zhan didn't come to find Cheng Weilian and went directly to the back kitchen, Lu Kai followed people with doubts, the back kitchen is in the backyard, the backyard is not only the back kitchen, but also the laundry room, most of the night in the back kitchen is closed doors and windows, the black lights are blind, there is definitely no one there, Chen Zhan's destination is not the back kitchen, but the laundry room, it stands to reason that no one should be in the laundry room now, someone, there is someone waiting in the courtyard of the laundry room.

The courtyard of the laundry room is a big basin for washing clothes, of course there is no water in the basin now, Chen Zhan saw this person take out a small bag of things from his arms and give it to the other party, the other party didn't say anything and nodded and put it away, Chen Zhan turned around and returned from the same way, seeing Chen Zhan coming over, Lu Kai hid in the dark corner of the back kitchen, and the person looked far away in the shadows.

Chen Zhan left, Lu Kai came out to look at the courtyard, the person in the courtyard Lu Kai knew, that person was washing clothes in the laundry room, what is it at first sight, Chen Zhan came late at night to see a laundry person? The man went into the room, blew out the candlelight, undressed and slept.

Lu Kai stood alone in the deserted courtyard, staring for a moment and smiling, "So that's the case"

The next day, the jubilant sun came, the people in the city were still busy with their own affairs, the merchants were full of spirit to open shops to welcome customers, the hawkers were hoarse and sold, some were sharpening their knives, these people were Lu Kai had already arranged to help in the city, the knife was sharpened, the sharper the night into the city, the greater the chance, someone touched the knife and put the knife in the corner.

Hands clasped together in prayer, and the other smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

This man is very pious, and he closes his eyes and silently recites "Don't bother me, I'm talking to the Buddha"

The man was amused: "The Buddha will talk to people who move the knife and move the anger?" ”

The man opened his eyes in annoyance and glared at him, "Why not, the Buddha is not like you, how can you understand the open-mindedness?"

Some people are sharpening knives, some people are praying for the blessing of the Buddha, and some people are carrying the croton powder in their arms, and the croton powder is in Zhang Zhongping's arms, Zhang Zhongping found Lu Kai, and the two sat in the house, "Buy it, do you see enough?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhongping bought a big bag of slaps, Lu Kai smiled and said, "It's too much, so many racecourses outside the city can't be used up."

There are some fatal things that are about to go out of the city, so you don't have to do it, Zhang Zhongping looked a little nervous and a little excited, after all, if this matter is successful, going to Jingyue will be a day of eating and drinking.

Zhang Zhongping smiled, "More is better than less, since there are too many, it's better to keep half of it"

Lu Kai took a piece of paper, estimated the amount and took it in his arms, "Take out the rest and throw it away, be careful not to let people see it"

Zhang Zhongping put away the croton powder and said, "Don't worry"

After receiving the croton powder, Zhang Zhongping was a little nervous and asked, "It's all arranged?" ”

Lu Kaidao, "It's almost, if Tie Mantang and us break into the city separately, the chances will increase by half"

Zhang Zhongping didn't seem to have much confidence in Tie Mantang: "Tie Mantang will really listen to you?" ”

Lu Kai looked out the window, stared at the clean sky and said, "Whether he listens or not, we are all leaving, look at the firelight tonight."

"Firelight?"

Lu Kai hadn't told Zhang Zhongping about reminding Tie Mantang of burning the deserted house, and now he didn't say anything in detail, "Well, the fire together proves that Tie Mantang is also leaving."

When the words fell, Lu Kai's face looked a little solemn.

Zhang Zhongping saw that Lu Kai's expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Kai sighed heavily, "It's nothing, the things are packed, and I can't come back if I leave."

"Nothing to receive"

No one knew that Lu Kai was going to break into the city tonight, it was because everything was normal on the surface of Bei'an, Zhu Xingkong thought for a moment and finally decided to see Zhao Houli, so it was reasonable to give Zhao Houli an explanation.

Entering the palace, Zhao Houli sat in the courtyard of the palace and played chess by himself, and Zhu Xingkong, a sunspot, condensed his lips and said, "I've seen King Taishang"

Zhao Houli didn't look at Zhu Xingkong's eyes and stared at the chess game and said, "Life is like chess, and if you make a mistake, you will lose all the games."

Zhu Xingkong looked at the chessboard and said, "Winning and losing is the fun of chess"

Zhao Houli's eyes were dim, "Some people can't lose, and if they lose, they will have nothing"

Zhu Xingkong didn't respond, Zhao Houli raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xingkong, "Everything has been clarified?" ”

Zhu Xingkong said with a straight face, "Yes, the matter is clear"

Zhao Houli pondered Zhu Xingkong's face, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "But you don't have a smile, and you don't have the slightest excitement, let's say, did you win or lose this chess game?" ”

"If you don't win, you don't lose, it's a draw" Zhu Xingkong replied clearly word by word.

"A draw?" Zhao Houli was silent for a long time, and then sighed leisurely, "From your standpoint, you should indeed choose him, I don't blame you."

Zhu Xingkong said, "No one has chosen the minister, and he doesn't need to be forgiven by the king of Taishang, Weichen chose the future stability of Beishu, and the most important thing in the current discussion is not to ask questions, but to do everything as usual."

Zhao Houli sighed and looked at the sky, as if he felt that the heavens were playing tricks on him, "Understood, go down"

"Wechen Retires"

The guards in the military guard walked around, Fang Wenhou stood in the courtyard and watched people walk around, people would not walk silently, now Wen Hou's mind was empty, and it seemed that all the sounds were not heard, and the things around him seemed silent to Fang Wenhou.

The light poured into the tip of Fang Wenhou's shoes, Fang Wenhou did not move and looked down at the light on the tip of his shoes, so that Fang Wenhou could hear the sound in his ears, Wei Yongnan's footsteps Fang Wenhou heard it, Fang Wenhou looked down at the light on the tip of his shoes, and also saw Wei Yongnan's shadow gradually approaching.

"How's the out-of-town brother doing? Is there any news about the portrait man? Fang Wenhou asked softly, his eyes were deep and dark, not illuminated by the sun.

"There is no news, the envoy must have sent people away" Wei Yongnan stood up, there was no disappointment or surprise in front of Fang Wenhou, if he was Lu Kai, he would have sent people away long ago, and when he heard Wei Yongnan's reply, Fang Wenhou's expression was also the same as Wei Yongnan's.

If the person who continues to pursue the portrait will definitely be a dead end, Fang Wen said, "It's a pity, if I had gone out of the city earlier, I would have known in advance that there was a problem with the armor, and if Li Shun had come to report in advance, we would have been able to seize the opportunity and not be as helpless as we are now."

Wei Yongnan's mood was as usual, but he didn't feel so sorry for so many possibilities, "If you lose the opportunity, you won't come, and the general doesn't have to regret anything"

The truth Fang Wenhou always knows, but he is blaming himself for letting down his vigilance, "It would be good if Zhang Zhongping was really tortured at that time, maybe he could ask something, and blame me for being too concerned about the consequences, just have you ever met the envoy and Tie Mantang?" ”
