This is the most difficult opponent Lu Li has ever encountered, in order to annihilate the enemy, they can be said to have resorted to a thousand strategies, but those strategies are useless, it is like a stone being sunk into the water, only stirring up three or five waves, and it can't pose too much threat to the enemy at all.

After the third encirclement and suppression was discovered, Lu Li began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

Just when he was worried about the war, Zhang Xiaodong hurriedly came with a letter in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Lu Li frowned and turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Xiaodong's solemn expression at a glance, which gave him an ominous premonition that something was going on in the capital.

Zhang Xiaodong raised his letterhead: "Brother Lu, this is an urgent letter sent from the capital, it was sent by the prince's people, saying that it is very urgent, and I want you to read it in person, Brother Lu." “

"I'll see." Lu Li opened the envelope, and his already bad face became more and more solemn.

Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng, who didn't know the situation, came over and asked: "Brother Lu, what news is coming from the capital, is it my sister-in-law that something happened to them, just now when I saw the envoy delivering the letter, his expression was very wrong, but I asked him what was going on, and he didn't say." Oh, Brother Lu, you are talking, what happened to the capital? ”

"Madame and children trapped in the palace."

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng exclaimed in unison, and stood up from their positions with a slap on the table.

"Although I don't know what the situation is in the capital now, but we are fighting at the border, but the emperor imprisoned my sister-in-law and two children, which is too deceitful!" Zhang Xiaodong gritted his teeth, "Aren't they afraid that we will be provoked at all, so they turn their heads and lead the troops back to attack——"

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Liu Fengfeng beside him.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's listen to Brother Lu first."

Zhang Xiaodong settled down at this time, and the eyes of the two turned to Lu Li.

At this time, Lu Li's mood was far more anxious than theirs, but he was the commander of the army, no matter what, he couldn't show his emotions, so he held back and endured: "In the letter, the prince did not say how the lady was in the palace, but he assured me that he would definitely try his best to ensure the safety of his wife and children, so even if they are in the palace now, there should not be too much danger. ”

Lu Li's solemn appearance made Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng involuntarily show worried expressions.

But what can they do to worry, at this moment they are at the border, even if they are thinking about the things in the capital, they are thousands of miles away and can't do anything.

The day after the prince's letter arrived, people from the capital arrived.

The leader of the team was Wang Zhen, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, he came directly to Lu Li, and said straight to the point: "I rushed all the way from the capital to the border to arrest a murderer. ”

"What prisoner?" Lu Li kept a calm face and protected Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng behind him, "All my soldiers here are good at killing enemies on the battlefield, Lord Wang, you are arresting murderers when you open and close your mouth, don't you put many soldiers in your eyes?" ”

"General Lu misunderstood, I was ordered to arrest not the murderer who killed the enemy bravely at the border pass, but the person who committed the murder in the capital, this is the emperor's edict, General Lu can take a look."

After that, Wang Zhen respectfully sent a handwritten message.

Lu Li took a look, and if it was really the emperor's handwriting, his heart became heavier and heavier.

Rushing all the way to the border to arrest people shows that Wang Zhen, as well as Feng Bailin behind him, must have mastered crucial evidence, and this catastrophe may not be easy to deal with: "Dare to ask who the perpetrator is and who is the victim?" ”

"That's right, General Lu, on the day you left the capital for the border pass, one of the guards in the Second Prince's Mansion was kidnapped and killed, and his method of killing was a move in the army, and we heard that there was indeed a soldier in the army who left behind when the army set off, so we suspected him."

Wang Zhen turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaodong's body as he spoke.

Lu Li and Liu Fengfeng's eyes also turned to him.

Zhang Xiaodong's forehead was full of sweat, he was a rough man, and in terms of carefulness, he was not as good as Wang Zhen who fought a bloody way in the capital, so it was easy for Wang Zhen to see the flaws.

"You're the one who fell behind that day, right?"

Zhang Xiaodong gritted his teeth, thinking that he would do things by himself, Feng Bailin's guards were killed by himself with Liu Fengfeng and Lu Li on their backs, so he couldn't affect them, so he resolutely chose to nod his head and said loudly: "Yes, I killed the people!" ”

"Take it for me."

As soon as Wang Zhen's words came out, the guards who had been prepared for a long time rushed in and quickly surrounded Zhang Xiaodong.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaodong was about to be taken down by them without resistance, Liu Fengfeng couldn't control it anymore, and shouted angrily to let them stop. In order to save people, he even rushed to Zhang Xiaodong's side.

"Don't mess around." Zhang Xiaodong frowned, took advantage of Liu Fengfeng's lack of attention and directly knocked the person unconscious, and pushed him into Lu Li's arms, "Brother Lu, although I, Zhang Xiaodong, am not a good man, but I know the truth that one person does things and one person is responsible, since I killed the person, I am ready to confess, I don't know if I can come back, please help me take care of my brother." ”

"You-"

Zhang Xiaodong pounced, knelt directly on the ground, and knocked Lu Li's head hard.

Then, he was taken away by Wang Zhen.

Lu Li's side is suffering from many crises, and so is An Xiabai, who is embattled in the palace.

Now she can be said to be being watched anytime and anywhere, and only when she talks to Mo Simin can she have a chance to breathe, but even if the situation is so critical, when An Xiabai routinely writes a letter to Lu Li, she still wants not to worry Lu Li.

"My husband is at the border, and I heard that the enemy army is not easy to deal with, so I must not distract him."

So in the letter An Xiabai wrote to Lu Li, he did not talk about the various persecutions he suffered in the palace.

It was dusk, and it was the time when the palaces needed to be busy, so there was no one in the imperial garden, only two or three kittens scurrying around.

Seeing this, the noble concubine of the middle man in the pavilion picked up the stone and threw it at the place where the cat barked.

"What's it called, it's not spring, it's really annoying!"

"It's just a few ignorant beasts, why should the concubine be angry, if you hurt your body for two or three cats, it's not good."

Without looking back, the noble concubine knew who was coming: "Your Royal Highness, you asked me to come to this imperial garden but you didn't show up for a long time, could it be that you are playing with me as a fool?" And what is the most important thing that you said in your message? ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me one by one."

Even in the face of the noble concubine who looked anxious, King Li still looked unhurried.

This lazy appearance successfully provoked the anger of the noble concubine, and the slender jade hand slapped on the stone table, she raised her eyebrows and said: "His Royal Highness King Liwang has leisure and leisure, I don't have it, there are still many things in the palace that I want to deal with, if Your Highness, you still don't tell what that important matter is, don't blame me for not having the patience to leave directly." ”

"Wait, I said." King Li raised his head, and there was a little more sly smile on his face, "This king heard that Mrs. Lu has a secret recipe in her hand, as long as she regulates her body according to the secret recipe, it won't take long to get pregnant, and she is also a twin." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Gao's eyes lit up.

Everyone in the palace knows that the noble concubine has been favored for many years, and the only regrettable thing is that her stomach is not angry, and after so many years, there is no sign of pregnancy at all. In order to get pregnant over the years, Concubine Gao has not tried the secret recipe of the doctor outside the palace, but after trying so many times, none of them have worked, and her heart is like a needle piercing her heart, and it hurts and itches, so she has such a big reaction.

She could barely sit still, staring at King Li with burning eyes and asking, "Is what you said true?" ”

"I've been friends with the concubine for a long time, so I naturally know what the concubine wants in my heart, how could I lie to you?"

King Li's expression was sincere when he spoke, and the noble concubine really believed it.

That night, she ordered someone to go to the palace to invite An Xiabai.

"I heard in this palace that Mrs. Lu has a secret recipe in her hand, and according to the secret recipe to regulate her body, it won't take too long to get pregnant, is it true?"

An Xiabai, who was invited over inexplicably, pretended to be calm, frowned and said, "Concubine Niangniang, I don't have such a prescription in my hand. ”

"How is it possible, if not, how can you conceive twins for the first time?"

An Xiabai silently rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that it was not her intention to be pregnant with twins, it was mainly a gift from God, a person like Gao Guifei who is used to bullying people and not even letting go of two children when she is ruthless, if she can't get pregnant, that's retribution, isn't it? For a person like her, it may not be good to use any method to regulate her body.

She thought darkly in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't show any meaning at all, her expression was still respectful and indifferent: "Guifei Niangniang, I really don't have it." ”

An Xiabai thought that his expression was sincere enough, but the other party didn't believe it at all.

The noble concubine begged for a son, and she was instigated by King Li in the evening, so she didn't believe An Xiabai's words at all, but An Xiabai was dissatisfied with her last time to harm the two children, so she didn't want to say it.

She gritted her teeth secretly and gave the maid next to her a look.

The maid understood, and immediately summoned two strong grandmothers to control An Xiabai.

Concubine Gao sneered, and a bright cold light flickered in her hand: "Mrs. Lu, if you don't tell me the secret recipe, I will be polite to you." ”

No wonder I had to invite myself over, it turned out that I had been prepared for a long time.

An Xiabai tightened her brows, and finally changed her words: "I have a secret recipe, but it's not on me, if the concubine really wants it, I can go back and get it." ”

Concubine Gao was dizzy by what she said, and nodded happily with a happy face, but she was defenseless.

"Then you go back and get it, Mama Zhao, you go back with her, be careful not to let her run away."

Mama Zhao agreed in a rough voice.

So on the way back, An Xiabai went with this five big and three rough grandmothers, and she was thinking about how to escape all the way.
