Lu drove the carriage two miles forward, and the coachman suddenly stopped his horse and followed the sound, only to see that there was chaos on the road ahead, and a young man with a disheveled coat ran towards the carriage, and the young man chased after five fierce men.

Before the young man could get close to the carriage, he was flustered and fell to the ground in a panic when he didn't know what was mixed under his feet, and the five men caught up and surrounded him.

The young man raised his face and screamed, "Why are you wicked people so ungrateful, and why do you still arrest me for giving you food!" ”

One of them shouted fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense! Grab it! ”

Lu Kai was not an impulsive person, but he was driven out of the city and was annoyed that there was nowhere to go, and when he encountered injustice, he jumped out of the carriage with a loud shout on the spot.

A big man sneered, "You dare to take care of our affairs, you are impatient!" ”

Lu Kai came to the middle of the two big men in front of an arrow step mark, the two big men shouted angrily and punched and hit, Lu Kai was slightly shorter, and the legs were left and right to open the bow, and the two big men immediately threw their legs away and couldn't get up again.

The rest of the big men saw that Lu Kai was difficult, so they didn't dare to entangle, and the big man who fell to the ground pulled his legs and fled.

Lu Kai saw that the big man was far away, came to the young man's side, stretched out his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

The young man looked up at Lu Kai, stretched out his hand and asked Lu Kai to pull it up and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving the hero"

Lu Kai smiled slightly and said, "It's a gesture, but what kind of people are those who are chasing you?" ”

When the young man mentioned those evil men, he couldn't help but shout, "Those dogs are really ungrateful, they are hungry people from Yangcheng, and they kindly sent them some food, they said that they didn't have enough to eat, so they had to arrest me and detain me, and let my father take food to ransom."

"Are you hungry?" Lu Kai was very reluctant on the spot, and started beating people without asking clearly.

The young man was dressed and scattered, Zhang Zhongping didn't really see it at first, but the young man felt quite familiar when he spoke, Zhang Zhongping looked at it twice, and then exclaimed, "But Chang Gongzi? ”

The young man glanced at Zhang Zhongping, surprised and delighted, and laughed: "It turned out to be Brother Zhongping!" ”

Lu Kai said strangely, "Big brother, who is this...?" ”

Zhang Zhongping hurriedly introduced: "Virtuous brother, this is Chang Zhiyuan, the son of the Taishi"

Lu Kaida was unexpectedly saluted and said, "I've seen Chang Gongzi"

Chang Zhiyuan saw that Lu Kai was humble and polite to save him, and Dasheng was very fond and hurriedly saluted, "Dare to ask the hero's surname"

Lu Kai hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Zhongping laughed and said, "This is the envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Chang Zhiyuan glanced at Lu Kai in surprise and said, "You are the envoy!" ”

Chang Zhiyuan didn't know that Lu Kai was kicked out of the city, Chang Zhiyuan said, "The festival envoy often meets with his father, but it doesn't happen that I am not in the house, so very good, the festival envoy gets in the car and returns to the city with me, and I will definitely thank you today."

Lu Kai smiled bitterly and said, "It's unfortunate, I have to return to the dynasty today, and Chang Gongzi has good intentions."

Chang Zhiyuan looked a little disappointed and said, "Huh? Going back today? No, what's the hurry, it's not too late to come back in a few days."

Lu Kai smiled and said, "Son, forgive me"

Chang Zhiyuan sighed, glanced at Zhang Zhongping, and asked, "Brother Zhongping, is he sending the festival envoy out of the city?" ”

Zhang Zhongping was stunned for a moment, this is not easy to answer, he went out of the city but no one notified him, no one knew that he came out.

Zhang Zhongping didn't know how to speak, Lu Kai smiled and said, "Brother Zhang has been getting along with me well recently, isn't he reluctant to leave this time, and he will send it so far away."

Zhang Zhongping looked at Lu Kai, and he couldn't hide his gratitude in his eyes.

Chang Zhiyuan is not good at identifying appearances and colors, and he is to say, "It's a pity that I didn't make friends when the envoy entered the city"

At this time, a ride hurriedly came from a distance, and the rider raised his voice in the distance, "Lord Envoy!" ”

Lu Kai and the three of them looked at the rider, and the rider dismounted at Lu Kai's side and arched his hand, "The King Taishang summoned!" Please hurry back to the city with me."

As soon as Lu Kai heard the three words of the Taishang King, his heart was relieved, and Cheng Weilian really invited the most difficult person to invite.

Except for the King of Taishang, who can make the King of Shu take back his words?

Chang Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard it, "It's just right for the King Taishang to summon him, go back to the city first, and wait until he meets the Queen Taishang, and he will have a good meal at the festival."

Cheng Minghu heard something unbelievable, his front foot had just sent the person away, and the chair back to the house had not yet sat on the hot person, but it turned back.

Shen Zhenghe was right in front of Cheng Minghu, Cheng Minghu looked pale and endured annoyance and said, "What? Is the envoy back? ”

Shen Zhenghe's face was not much better than Cheng Minghu's, Shen Zhenghe's gloomy face almost flares up, "Yes, I just came out of the palace, and the news is undoubted."

Cheng Minghu was puzzled, his face was dry, he glared at Shen Zhenghe and asked, "Why did the envoy come back?" ”

Shen Zhenghe asked who Lu Kai was summoned by, his face trembled, and his face showed timidity, "It was summoned by the Taishang King."

Cheng Minghu's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "King Taishang! ”

This incident was beyond everyone's expectations, and Shen Zhenghe's heart sank suddenly, "Can you guess why the King Taishang summoned the envoy back to the city?" ”

This matter was beyond expectations, how could Cheng Minghu guess for a while, and said with solemn eyes, "I don't know, you go back to the house to rest, I'll go to the palace to see"

Shen Zhenghe nodded, he had just left the palace and turned around and went back, there must be no good excuse.

Cheng Minghu just arrived at the bottom of the steps of Zhao Zong's bedroom, and saw Chang Yue waiting outside the door, Cheng Minghu stepped up the steps and was just about to open his mouth to ask Chang Yue, and saw Zhao Zong Meiyu come out of the bedroom with a deep lock, and the banquet was not long over, Zhao Zong returned to the dormitory and wanted to rest, and it must be for Lu Kai to return to the city.

Zhao Zong glanced at Chang Yue Cheng Minghu with a gloomy face, "Go to the Beihe Hall with the lonely"

Beihe Hall is the quiet place of the Taishang Wang, Zhao Zong arrived outside the door, the inner servant raised his chest and just wanted to declare his mouth, Zhao Zong raised his left hand to signal the inner servant not to make a sound, there is a pavilion in the courtyard, Zhao Zong entered the pavilion to sit quietly, Changyue Cheng Minghu accompanied the pavilion to stand quietly on both sides, and the inner attendant waited outside the pavilion.

Zhao Zong, Changyue, Cheng Minghu's eyes were restless, and at the same time, he stared at the door of the Taishang King's bedroom.

There are two people in the room, one is Lu Kai, and the other is Zhao Houli, the king of Taishang, Lu Kai bowed and stood in front of the bed, and Zhao Houli was lying quietly on the dragon couch, and the people outside the house did not speak, and the people in the house did not speak.

Zhao Houli was poisoned and paralyzed, lying in bed all the year round, and the temperament of a person like this must be elusive.

Zhao Houli couldn't move his limbs and his head could still move, his head slowly turned in the direction of Lu Kai, Zhao Houli looked at Lu Kai with cold eyes and said, "King Wei really asked you to check what happened back then."

Lu Kai tensed his face and said, "Yes"

Zhao Houli's face twitched, the corners of his eyes twitched from time to time, and from such a reaction, he seemed a little excited, Zhao Houli said three good words in a row, "Okay, good, finally someone remembers this"

Lu Kai suddenly sighed, this sigh was sympathizing with Zhao Houli, if anyone can't let go of this matter, Zhao Houli is absolutely the first, and the person who was poisoned is him after all.

Lu Kai sighed, "To be honest, the lower officials would rather King Zhao not summon him"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Houli had a strong anger that filled the nerves in his body, and Zhao Houli said, "So King Wei guessed who poisoned?" ”

A hint of compassion flashed in Lu Kai's eyes, and he said, "There is a saying that sees people's hearts over time."

Zhao Houli said with a strange smile on his face, "Yes, I have seen people's hearts for a long time, and some things I couldn't understand at the time, but after a long time, I understood everything."

Zhao Houli glanced sideways at Lu Kaidao, "The envoy was recalled after five miles out of the city, and he must be very anxious."

Lu Kai did not hide it, "It's easy to be anxious, it's just that the tiger poison doesn't eat children, and some things naturally take more time to think about."

Zhao Houli was suddenly expressionless, and looked at Lu Kai coldly, "Tiger poison does not eat children, poisonous children want to eat their fathers!" ”

Of course, no one knows better than Zhao Houli about who poisoned the matter, and the bloody battle for the throne is indispensable, Lu Kaidao, "Is King Zhao asking Xia Guan to come back to probe King Wei's mouth, or do you want Xia Guan to continue to investigate this matter?" ”

Zhao Houli did not hesitate and said sharply on the spot: "Check!" Find out! ”

Lu Kaidao "Xia Guan is not from Beishu, if he acts by heart, he wants to find out about this matter, but the truth of such a matter is revealed, Beishu will definitely shake the situation, dare to ask, can King Zhao really be ruthless?" ”

Zhao Houli was suddenly silent, staring at Lu Kai with a dignified gaze, Lu Kai knew that this was not easy to answer, the father and child were poisoned and left a quadriplegic, if he said in his heart, it would be impossible not to be angry, but on the other hand, even if he didn't regard Zhao Zong as his own son, he was the king of Shu after all, and the situation would definitely be shaken whenever he had something.

Zhao Houli was silent for a moment, and suddenly the vulture laughed and said: "in the same room, this is the most hated thing in Gu Ping's life, I really looked away, I didn't expect the youngest Wang Er to have such great ability."

Lu Kai should have been overjoyed at this time and ordered to retreat, but he didn't, instead of taking the order to retreat, he reminded: "If the water falls, the Northern Shu will definitely break the earth, King Zhao really wants to see such a situation?" ”
