Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Period Chapter 040 Qinglou Top Card

This is also the difficulty that Lu Yu considered.

Even if a location is destroyed and all the captured children are released, it is difficult to let them return to the garden, once the King of Wei finds out that it was Long Yangjun who did it, of course, he can't attack him on the surface, but he can arrest people again, or hide them even deeper, so that Long Yangjun can no longer interfere.

However, since the arrest and alchemy were carried out in secret, it proved that King Wei did not dare to publicize his matter, after all, this kind of thing would only make the world condemn, and maybe it would be stinking for 10,000 years. Moreover, even if someone is arrested, Xinlingjun cannot be convicted, because the mastermind behind the scenes is the king of Wei, do you want Longyang Jun to bring the king of Wei to justice?

Lu Yu said: "Why don't you just come and cut the first and then play, solve the problem on the spot with the people who have been caught, and play the king in front of all the ministers, and give the king a good resignation with no proof of death, so that he can be restrained?" ”

Long Yangjun took another deep breath and said to Lu Yu in disbelief: "Benjun is worried about how to make this matter small, so as not to involve the king, I didn't expect you to have such a clever plan, it really makes Benjun admire!" ”

Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "This is really a good policy, Junwei is difficult to commit, but as long as he is given a step, it may be the best solution to this matter." ”

Long Yangjun said: "That's right, this gentleman first came by surprise, solved the problem on the spot, released those children, and then turned it into ashes with a fire, and then told the king in front of hundreds of officials in the early dynasty, asking the king to order a thorough investigation." At that time, because the person concerned was dead, and there was no proof of death, it could not involve Xinling Jun and the king, and it was a clever plan. ”

Although it is necessary to pay for the king of Xinling and the king of Wei, these people are also accomplices in legal terms, and just killing them without involving their families may already be the most merciful means in this era.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "They will only be angry in their hearts, but they have no choice but to issue an order to investigate this matter, and when the king arrives, as long as he investigates casually, he can achieve the effect of making them restrained." ”

Long Yangjun laughed and said, "This gentleman will order someone to make all the pearls, ginseng, and deer antler velvet in the house into pills, and give them to the king after the early dynasty for health preservation." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "By all means, this will make the king suspect that you know that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the pill is a provocation to him, please think twice." ”

Long Yangjun slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Benjun almost forgot." ”

Lu Yu said again: "Your Excellency can talk about where to get the secret recipe for immortality in front of the king for a period of time after this matter is resolved, intentionally or unintentionally, if the king shows his intention to try, it is not too late to order someone to rush to control it." ”

Long Yangjun laughed, constantly reciting the "Secret Recipe for Immortality" in his mouth, his expression was very satisfied, almost as if he was about to fall into Lu Yu's arms, so frightened that Lu Yu subconsciously took a small step back. Long Yangjun didn't care, and said to him: "It's a pity that you are about to leave, if you can stay, it will be a blessing for Great Wei." ”

Lu Yu noticed that when he said this, he seemed to be a little eager to say something, and this word seemed to have a sense of regret. Thinking of his own speculation, he deliberately tried to say: "I wonder if the king has other arrangements for tomorrow's trip to Handan?" ”

Long Yangjun was stunned, a little surprised, and said, "You mean that the king arranged for you to stay with us after you arrived at Fuzhao Pavilion?" Don't think too much, the king is discussing state affairs with us, Lu Yu, didn't you see the prince beside you? The king instructed the prince to learn from Benjun and Xinlingjun. ”

Some things are explained more and more exposed, if it is really as he said, Wei Mingji on the side seems to be the importance of deliberation. Moreover, Long Yangjun had already said in the secret room that he suspected that this King of Wei was a fake, but now he was affectionately called by the former queen and queen, was there another reason why he had to cooperate with them?

But then again, whether King Wei is true or false now is only a unilateral suspicion of Long Yangjun, the reason may just be that the increasingly rigid relationship between him and Xinlingjun suddenly improved, but this is only a reluctant reason, but there is no substantive evidence. Long Yangjun, as the male favorite of King Wei, is as familiar with King Wei as the concubine in the harem, no matter how realistic the mask is, or how similar the stand-in is, the language on the body cannot lie, unless there is a convincing excuse.

That's the elixir.

Lu Yu suddenly realized that King Wei had been taking pills, and the functions of his body would definitely be affected to a greater or lesser extent, so he used this as an excuse to reduce sexual affairs, isn't this just an excuse that even harem beauties and Long Yangjun can deceive!

If King Wei is true or false, then it is very likely that the abduction of boys and girls and the refining of the elixir of immortality with living people are just a dangzi, not some elixir of immortality, but to hide people's eyes and ears and hide it from everyone, including those who share the same bed.

After listening to this terrifying speculation, Long Yangjun couldn't help but gasp, if it wasn't really guessed by Lu Yu, Xinlingjun's conspiracy was about to come out. With Long Yangjun's cleverness, it is not difficult to think that it is impossible for Xinlingjun to sit still and wait for the King of Wei, who has already had an estrangement, to deal with him. The real King of Wei may have been killed, or imprisoned by him in some secret place.

Long Yangjun said to Lu Yu with a somewhat sluggish expression: "Assassinated Zhu Hai that day, although the people who were sent to the palace had been caught, they didn't leave anything behind, and they committed suicide by biting through the poisoning medicine hidden in their mouths on the spot. And on him, nothing was found, and Benjun suspected that it was communicated verbally. ”

Isn't that even more proof of the problem? The people who enter the palace should be to pass on the information and arrangements between the palace and the Xinling Monarch's Mansion, if it is just an ordinary report, why hide poison in their mouths, and commit suicide once they are caught, so as to ensure that secrets are not leaked.

In this way, Ximen Hou should also know the secret.

And Long Yangjun is also in danger at the moment, as long as he takes a wrong step, he will be seized by the fake King Wei and Xinling Jun in a minute to carry out a devastating blow.

At this time, there were three people approaching Fuzhao Pavilion below, all holding square four-legged stilts and bronze bean plates in their hands, which turned out to be eunuchs delivering meals.

Long Yangjun sighed again and said to Lu Yu: "Benjun will go back to discuss with Hou Rong immediately, and then make countermeasures." Without waiting for Lu Yu to send him off, he walked down the steps alone. After going down a few steps, he seemed to think of something, and said: "There may be danger after arriving in Handan, Lu Yu, you are so self-conscious, I hope I will have a chance to see you again." Then he never looked back, and went out of the Fuzhao Pavilion and went straight to the south.

Long Yangjun's last words made Lu Yu foresee the outcome of Handan's trip. Maybe it was because he already knew the result, but he couldn't bear to see Lu Yu being handed over to Qin Guo as a substitute for the dead ghost after the action, and he couldn't tell the truth, so he said this to remind him and let him protect his life.

On the last night, Lu Yu was much more relaxed, and he didn't even have the slightest nervousness in his heart. After Long Yangjun left, no one came to disturb him, and he slept from the afternoon until the eunuch brought dinner. originally thought that Wei Mingji would come to him under an excuse, but it was very quiet all night. The guards downstairs changed shifts after dark, these two guards were not as dull as during the day, and Lu Yu could hear them whispering below from time to time in the attic.

Lu Yu couldn't sleep, put on a thick fur robe, walked to the corridor and stood for less than half a moment, but was driven back to the attic by the cold, lying on the bed and wrapping several layers with a quilt.

Ever since he came to Daliang, he didn't seem to have a night as quiet as tonight, so bored that he kept thinking about it. Suddenly, he remembered his parents. Would they feel some relief if they knew that he was not dead, but was just living well in another world? Although the two worlds are not connected to each other and cannot meet each other, at least they are not dead and still breathe alive.

I also became a small general in ancient times, although there is a difference of 2,000 years, but at least I am a civil servant. It is said that the closest people have wonderful inductions, I wonder if my parents can sense him?

After confirming that he had traveled to the Warring States Period, Lu Yu did not attempt to try to travel back, but accepted the reality, because he knew that the chance of surviving a plane crash was very small, and the chance of being able to cross was not calculated by any means, and there was no chance for him to try in this ancient world.

Naturally, he didn't sense his parents, so he had so many questions. However, if you really have this kind of sensing ability, it may only increase the pain of longing, because people are very greedy animals, and no one is satisfied with being able to sense each other without being able to meet each other.

Later, I thought about the crashed plane and every passenger on it. Could it be that everyone was killed, and he was the only one alive? Let go of people, Xiao Yan was next to him at the time, but why didn't she cross with him? This is probably another unanswered question.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yu heard neat footsteps outside, like well-trained soldiers, from far and near, thinking that it was the Praetorian Guards patrolling the palace, he didn't think about it, but unexpectedly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and after a while, he was already approaching Fuzhao Pavilion and stopped outside. Lu Yu got up from the bed and was about to go outside to take a look, when a yin voice sounded below: "By the order of the king, General Lu is invited to go to the Jade Tang Palace." ”

Lu Yu made a "bang" in his heart, and recognized that this voice was the voice of the eunuch he heard today! But it's not dawn outside yet, so are you ready to go?

Before he could reply, the eunuch probably thought that Lu Yu was still asleep, and repeated what he had just said in a loud voice.

Lu Yu hurriedly followed and replied loudly: "Minister Lu Yu obeys the order." Then he quickly put on his fur robe, and walked out in three steps and two steps. Who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he was almost stopped by the threshold, and found that the ink-like night was still a long distance away from dawn, didn't King Wei have to sleep?

Under the stone steps, I saw a eunuch carrying a palace lamp, and twenty guards with torches behind him lined up in two columns, waiting for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu secretly thought that he had finally seen the owner of the voice. Seeing him come out, the eunuch said again: "General Lu, please follow the servants to the Jade Soup Palace." ”

By the light of the torch, the eunuch's roe-headed and rat-like appearance, with a smiling expression, made Lu Yu feel that this person had a bad stomach, and from his yin and strange voice, it was certain that this eunuch was a eunuch who had already been punished by the palace. During the Warring States period, not all eunuchs were eunuchs, but most of the servants who specialized in serving the king, especially the eunuchs in charge of the harem, had been castrated to prevent harm to the harem.

Lu Yu walked all the way, and when he saw the eunuch's serious face, he asked, "I don't know how to call my lord?" ”

The eunuch said: "The slave is cheap, he has no name and no surname, and he has the favor of the king and gives him the name Zhao Chang." ”

Lu Yu smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao." What time is it? ”

Zhao Chang still replied with a serious face: "It's just past the ugly moment." ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he suddenly had a feeling that he wanted to strangle King Wei. According to Zhao Chang, it is not even three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it will even be early, pry him up so early to go to the Jade Soup Palace, is it because he wants to sit there until midnight?

Zhao Changxian saw Lu Yu's thoughts, so he said: "Now we are going to the Jade Tang Hall to receive the bathing gift for General Lu, which lasts for half an hour, and there will be arrangements after that." ”

Lu Yu secretly wondered why the name of this palace sounded weird, what kind of jade soup, it turned out to be a bathing place.

The road in the palace was completely like a maze for him, all led by Zhao Chang, leading the twenty guards behind him to walk on the royal road in the palace "mightily", as if he was looking for someone to make an appointment. However, at this time, the palace was still very quiet, except for the guards on duty, only some hard-working eunuchs and palace maids passed by them from time to time with their heads bowed. Lu Yu walked the royal road, that was because of the permission of King Wei, and the palace slaves he met along the way could not walk on this road casually, otherwise he would be convicted of a crime and would be killed at any time.

After walking for about ten minutes, I finally saw a magnificent red door. Because he already knew that it was the Jade Tang Palace, Lu Yu only "knew" the seal characters on the big plaque, the Jade Tang Hall was surrounded by towering ancient trees surrounded by four people, and it could not be taken at a glance, only the red temple door and the four big pillars were exposed, the diameter of which was comparable to that of an ancient tree, and the front of each one was engraved with seven characters. As for what it was, he couldn't even make out three.

Lu Yu secretly thought that he would learn more of these ancient characters when he had time, and it would be more convenient to do things in the future.

But for now, these have to be put aside for the time being, and he is not here to archaeology in the first place.

The front of the palace gate was still guarded by two guards, and after Zhao Chang stepped forward to show his cards, twelve guards lined up on both sides of the palace gate, and Lu Yu walked in with him.

After passing through the second gate, there is the lobby of the Jade Soup Hall. The two palace maids greeted them, and after saluting the two, Zhao Chang said to them, "You two will serve General Lu to bathe immediately." With that, he stood sideways and motioned for the two palace maids to take Lu Yu forward.

There was a smell of sulfur in the jade soup hall, although it was a cold winter season, but as soon as he stepped into the lobby, Lu Yu felt that the temperature had risen, coupled with the smell of sulfur, he was almost sure that this was a sulfur spring drawn from the back of the palace, and it was a place for King Wei and other royal families to enjoy. Being able to be brought to bathe in hot springs can be regarded as "Wang Enhao".

Bypassing the door behind the lobby, there are wings in front of Lu Yu and on the left and right, and in the middle is an open-air courtyard, quite like the construction of a courtyard house. From the front, the two rooms in front are relatively large, and there are three smaller rooms on the left and right, which enclose the courtyard in the center.

One of the palace maids said to Lu Yu: "General, please come with the slave maid." With that, he led him to the second room on the left. Lu Yu thought to himself that the two big rooms on the front should be for the exclusive use of King Wei, and the rest might be for the concubines or ministers.

Sure enough, a bath of nearly ten square meters was dug behind the screen in the wing, and the pool water in it was constantly steaming. Lu Yu was happy in his heart, let the palace maid loosen his clothes, and without waiting for her to test the water, he touched himself into the bath. The water was just the right temperature, so comfortable that he almost couldn't help moaning.

The palace maid was still curious to look at the pair of underwear that Dai Ji had sewn for him that he had untied for him, and saw that Lu Yu was already in the pool, so she also stepped into the pool to wipe his body.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed this kind of high-end service, and secretly sighed that this was the first time he had washed so comfortably here, which was very different from soaking in the hot water in the bathtub. In the world 2,000 years from now, there will be a fee for bathing in hot springs, and of course such services are illegal today. But in this day and age, this kind of enjoyment is something that money can't buy.

Another palace maid pushed the door in, holding a plate with clothes on it, and two other eunuchs behind him holding an object, Lu Yu Yile, it turned out to be a set of armor. Lu Yu became curious, watched the two eunuchs carry the armor in and put it down, and then respectfully retreated. It turned out that there was something like a bracket in the armor, and the whole set was held up neatly to show its preciousness. The helmet is cast in bronze and appears to be a one-piece piece, with a relief beast head on the top, which looks a bit like a tiger, with angry eyes. The shoulders and chests of the body are decorated with iron fish-scale-shaped armor pieces, each of which is about an inch in size, and there are hundreds of pieces that extend to the knees.

This suit of armor knew at a glance that it was not light, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, it may be majestic to wear, but it also needs to bear its weight.

The palace maid who was wiping Lu Yu's back heard him sigh and asked curiously, "What is the general's sigh about?" ”

Lu Yu said: "It's just a sigh." ”

The palace maid said again: "The slave maid dares to ask, is the general the legendary dragon man in Daliang City recently?" ”

Lu Yu laughed, and said in his heart that he didn't expect that even a palace maid would hear the rumors outside the palace, so he asked, "Where did you learn about those things?" ”

Another palace maid was standing by the bath, and when she heard Lu Yu ask, she smiled and said: "That matter is spreading, in this palace, everyone up and down naturally knows about it for a long time." ”

The palace maid behind also laughed out with a "poof".

Lu Yu didn't want to see the two of them, for fear that he would leave a "romantic debt" on the spur of the moment. In less than half an hour, he had already soaked in the hot spring until his hands and feet were wrinkled, and he didn't know whether this so-called bathing gift had to be soaked for half an hour, so he had to endure chatting with them from time to time, and stayed up for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't like to take care of them very much, the two palace maids also kept silent until they finished bathing him, and then served him to put on his clothes one by one, and finally put the whole set of armor on Lu Yu's body.

Lu Yu felt that this set of armor weighed more than a dozen catties, and he was really not used to it for a while, if he put on the helmet as well, it was estimated that his whole head would be pressed and unable to lift it. Suddenly, he found that the two palace maids were looking straight at him, their eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you think I do?" ”

The second daughter replied, "The general is so good-looking." ”

Lu Yuyile, he has really not been praised for his appearance before, and he still feels a little fluttering when he is praised by them like this. Only then did he notice that the two palace maids looked very similar, like sisters, and not only their faces, but also their bodies were almost the same. Basically, they can be regarded as beauties, at least they are all natural. These women who were drafted to serve in the court, although they were not favored by the monarch like concubines, were never sloppy in their selection, in addition to their good facial features and balanced figures, they also had to be trained and trained as strictly as Dai Ji.

After coming out, Zhao Chang took Lu Yu to dinner, and was still served by several palace maids and eunuchs, so that Lu Yu greatly felt the high service, and it was not until the end of Yin that the King of Wei sent someone to summon him.

Lu Yu arrived at a palace under the leadership of Zhao Chang, and saw that there were two carriages parked on the royal road not far away, and several eunuchs and palace maids were waiting next to them. Simon Hou was under the steps outside the palace, and several other people who looked like warriors were talking to him in whispers. A red-maned horse beside Ximen Hou is particularly conspicuous, isn't that what Guiguzi gave to Lu Yu?

Unexpectedly, Xinlingjun really brought his horse. Lu Yu was excited in his heart, and the feeling of long-term farewell came spontaneously, and he hurriedly accelerated his pace and walked towards the west gate.
