Chapter Twenty-Four: Luodu
Xiahou ordered Lu Xin to lead the army and assisted them in searching the mountain for a day and a night. The www.biquge.info also mobilized the local army, set up checkpoints on the big and small roads, and even the Taihu Lake navy was sent to search the lake.
But it was just a waste of time, and I didn't even find a human hair......
When Lu Xin received the order to withdraw and returned to Bailiuzhuang with his exhausted subordinates, the masters of the Xiahou Valve had disappeared.
However, when searching the mountain, he had met with Xiahou undefeated. The other party actually remembered his small role, and what surprised Lu Xin even more was that Xiahou was undefeated and nodded to him slightly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
'Hey, I don't know if Lu Yun came back safely? Lu Xin was really afraid that the kid would not be able to control it, so he went to Xiahou to take revenge.
Unknowingly, when he arrived at the Qincha station, Lu Xin hurriedly put away his chaotic thoughts and went in to report to Xiahou Lei.
Inside the house, Xiahou Bupo was also there, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, his complexion was very bad, and his coughing was much heavier.
"Sit down." Xiahou Lei was like a defeated rooster hanging his head, if everything went well this time, no one would hold him accountable for what happened on the West Lake. But now that the success has failed, the valve owner must be furious! After going back, what awaits me must be the family law......
Lu Xin thanked him and knelt down.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Xiahou Bupo said with a wry smile: "People are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect this to be the case." Saying that, he glanced at Lu Xin and said: "My brother is not an outsider, to tell you the truth, now our Xiahou valve can't be washed even if we jump into the Yellow River." ”
Speaking of frustration, Xiahou Bupo is the one who has been hit the most. He has always been a man of intelligibility, and he planned this operation. In the original plan, Xiahou Valve would kill everyone when he got the jade seal, and even if the emperor had any suspicions, he couldn't attack without evidence.
But the two didn't expect that Xiahou's unbroken calculation fell through. First, I didn't expect that the other party actually hid a Heavenly Rank Grand Master! You must know that the great grandmasters in the world are counted, and Xiahou Valve calculated that the other party only had one Zhou Huang, so he sent two great grandmasters, and ten grandmasters! It is said that it is enough, but who would have thought that there would be another Huan Daoji!
The second one I didn't expect was the Taiping Road! Although there are countless followers in the Taiping Dao in the north and south of the river, Xiahou Valve has acted extremely carefully this time, and his actions are very sudden, even if Sun Yuanlang notices it at the first time, it is too late to kill it...... Why do you let them stick sideways?!
It's good now, the jade seal was taken away, and it was taken away by the Taiping Dao, which the Xiahou valve had no choice but to do, how to keep it a secret?
Even, at the moment, retrieving the jade seal is no longer the top priority, but it is necessary to try to pass the emperor's pass first, and then communicate with the various valves to stabilize the situation in the capital!
It was really a failure to steal chickens and was caught, and Xiahou Valve's face was lost!
Suppressing the boredom in his heart, Xiahou Bupo coughed twice, looked at Lu Xin and said, "Brother, are you willing to be in the same boat with my Xiahou valve and get through this hurdle in front of you?" ”
Xiahou Lei also stared at Lu Xin, and Lu Xin said without changing his face: "Why did Brother Xiahou say this, Lu Mou has already expressed his intentions, don't you still believe it?" ”
"Good!" Xiahou said excitedly: "It's me who asked!" After speaking, Zhengse instructed Lu Xindao: "Brother Lao is tired to lead the army to escort the Zhou family to the capital." After you enter Beijing, someone will definitely ask you about the whole story......
Lu Xin heard the song and said elegantly: "I will follow the instructions of Lord Qincha, and I will definitely find the clue I found!" ”
"Good!" Xiahou Bupo and Xiahou Lei nodded heavily, and the latter comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you are our Xiahou Valve's person, no one dares to embarrass you!" After a pause, he said: "After you are done, you will stay in the capital and do not have to come back!" ”
Xiahou Bupo also nodded, obviously this was all discussed......
Lu Xin's face was full of gratitude and thanked him.
Xiahou Lei pulled his beard and laughed: "Xiahou will never treat heroes badly!" ”
When Lu Xin retreated with great gratitude, the smile on Xiahou's uncle and nephew's face disappeared.
"I can't imagine that we are acting so secretively, and we are still being targeted by Taiping Dao......" Xiahou Lei said with a sad face.
"It's too late to say anything now," Xiahou Bupo smiled bitterly: "Hurry back to Beijing and wait for the delivery......
。
Lu Xin returned to the barracks, and as soon as he entered his tent, he saw that Lu Yun had returned.
Lu Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and drank a few glasses of water before he relieved the heat in his chest a little, and asked in a deep voice, "What are the gains?" ”
While pouring water for his father, Lu Yun whispered what had happened to him and told him about it in 1510. Hearing this, Lu Xin was dumbfounded, and looked Lu Yun up and down for a long time, Fang Chang sighed and said, "Providence, ......" After speaking, he said with a worried face: "It won't be found out, right?" ”
"Probably not." Lu Yun has already deliberated repeatedly, and I believe that no matter how rich his imagination is, he would never have thought that the youngest son of the county lieutenant of Wu County would be able to do such an earth-shattering event.
"That's good." Lu Xin believed in Lu Yun's ability, but he still told him uneasily: "You must keep it absolutely confidential, and you can't leak the slightest!" ”
"Children know what matters." Lu Yun nodded solemnly.
After thoroughly digesting the shock brought by the jade seal of the country, Lu Xin remembered what was going on, and said to Lu Yun: "My father can't go back to Yuhang, so Xiahou ordered me to escort the Zhou family to the capital for trial. After a pause, he sighed with a complicated expression: "After you go back, you can prepare to move, so as not to be in a hurry." ”
"Father......" Lu Yun was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and the first step of his plan was realized like this!
"The situation in Beijing is a hundred times more complicated than here...... Lu Xin said worriedly: "And if this happens, I'm afraid it will become more and more treacherous." At this time, when you return to Beijing, if you make any moves, you will be crushed if you are not careful. He was deeply touched by the catastrophe of the Zhou family, and inevitably gave birth to the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox.
"Remember," Lu Yun nodded solemnly and assured Lu Xin, "I will definitely be cautious." ”
。
Within a few days, the news of the change in Bailiuzhuang reached Luojing, the capital of the Great Xuan.
Luojing, also known as the eastern capital, is the old capital of Chang'an, which should be in the Guannai. The Great Xuan Imperial Family and the Seven Great Gates originated from the Guannei, and after pacifying the world, Emperor Gaozu was all in Luojing outside the Guan. There are naturally many thoughtful considerations, but the most intuitive benefit is that the construction of Luojing City has learned the lessons of Chang'an City, and the design no longer blindly emphasizes symmetry, but pays attention to function, fully combines the topography, and makes this new capital far superior to the old capital in any aspect.
From Longmen Yique to the Qing Palace on the mountain as the central axis of the capital, the imperial city is located on the northwest highlands, magnificent and magnificent, overlooking the streets and alleys dotted at the foot and endless at a glance. Not only does it resemble the Ziwei Emperor Star, but it also has excellent defensive capabilities, which discourages many careerists who covet the throne.
The name of the imperial city is called Ziwei City, and the palace wall is as high as six zhang. In front of the palace gate, beside the royal road paved with white marble, planted with pomegranate cherries and other precious trees, it is in the middle of spring at this time, the trees are full of flowers, it is like two beautiful long brocades, to this majestic and compelling Ziwei City, adding a bit of charm.
A black horse-drawn carriage was rolling on the bluestone road next to the royal road. In the car, an old man dressed as a eunuch with eyebrows like snow, but he had no intention of admiring the sea of flowers outside the car window. He sat down on the futon, holding the fillet in one hand, feeding the black cat in his arms, and scratching the cat with the other. There was no expression on his face, but there was a chill in his dim eyes!
There was also a person in the car, wearing a distinctive black official robe and a black straight-brimmed cone, which was the unique attire of the Great Xuan Detective Mansion. And this person has a golden feather inserted in the top of his hat, indicating his identity as the admiral of the Governor's Office!
Lin Chao, the commander of the Governor's Office, commanded 8,000 imperial eagle dogs, monitored the world, detected rebellion, and looked at wolves, and the fierce flames were rising! You can even bypass the legal department and arrest middle and lower-level officials directly!
But at this moment, Admiral Lin, who could stop children crying at night, trembled and knelt at the feet of the old eunuch, and reported cautiously: "The crime of despicability deserves death, and he actually let Xiahou Valve hide it from such a death!" ”
Because the old eunuch's name is Zuo Yanqing, the former head of Emperor Gaozu's inner cabinet and the founder of the Detective Mansion, a peerless master who was once promoted to the heavenly rank with a crippled body! Even though the emperor has changed three terms now, he has retreated into the background, but he is still deeply trusted by the original emperor, and he still firmly controls the Governor's Office, and shocks the seven major valves for the emperor!
"You really deserve to die!" The old eunuch Zuo snorted coldly, and the black cat in his arms opened his green eyes and stared at Admiral Nalin, making him sweat coldly, and hurriedly kowtowed like garlic, expressing his willingness to accept any punishment.
At this time, the carriage slowly drove to the left door, and the old eunuch probed and lifted the curtain. As soon as the guards outside saw him, they hurriedly saluted respectfully and got out of the way!
Zuo Yanqing put down the curtain of the car, and said to Admiral Lin: "It's just a matter of letting Xiahou Lei deceive him, why can't he even find out if Xiahou is undefeated and Xiahou is not destroyed and leaves Beijing?" Is the Detective Mansion worthy of the emperor's kindness? ”
"The lowly duty has sent all the dereliction of duty to prison, and is waiting for punishment together with the lowly duty!" Admiral Lin said with a look of shame: "So many people are staring at Xiahou Valve, but they are hiding from the world, how can they say it!" ”
"If the government doesn't raise waste, let's put them all to death." Zuo Yanqing stroked the black cat on his lap, glanced at the trembling Admiral Lin and said: "As for you, when I see the emperor go up to receive two hundred court staffs, and demote them to the ...... of the seven-grade investigation" After a pause, the old eunuch sighed and said: "Temporarily take the Imperial Mansion, to see the after-effects." ”
"Thank you ancestors for your maintenance, and you will be guilty of meritorious service!" Admiral Lin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.
"Thank you Taiping Dao, if they don't stick a bar, it won't be a pity to cut you all over!" Zuo Yanqing snorted and closed his eyes.
