Only then did Lu Yu realize that King Wei and Xinling Jun actually looked a little similar. Because of the distance and because it was night, I didn't feel this way. But it's not surprising that the two were originally half-brothers, and it was absolutely normal and reasonable for them to look alike.

Assuming that this King of Wei is a fake, then his face must also be wearing the kind of mask that Ling Fan wears, or a double-body that looks like a god and has undergone strict training, otherwise, with the ambiguous relationship between Long Yangjun and him, how could it be that it is only at the stage of suspicion until now.

I only heard that Ling Jun said gloomily: "King Yu: There are no clues yet. ”

King Wei's face turned dark, and he asked again, "Have you caught the assassin?" ”

Xinlingjun looked at Long Yangjun out of the corner of his eyes, and said meaningfully: "The younger brother has ordered someone to investigate it comprehensively, and he will definitely give Zhu Lao justice." ”

Long Yangjun sighed: "It's really a pity, if Xinlingjun can use Benjun's place, please just ask, Benjun will definitely do his best to help and seek justice for Mr. Zhu." ”

Xin Lingjun's face twitched, but he couldn't attack in front of King Wei, and said coldly: "Thank you Long Yangjun for your kindness, you don't need to bother Your Excellency to arrest just an assassin." ”

King Wei broke the embarrassment with a dry laugh, and said: "Longyang Jun is also a good thing, but Xinling Jun is mostly capable, naturally as he said, just an assassin, and it is just around the corner to be arrested." Turning around and sitting down on the throne, Zhengse said: "Lu Yu obeys orders!" ”

Lu Yu stepped forward and saluted, and replied in a loud voice: "Minister Lu Yu is here." ”

King Wei said: "The trip to Handan will start at one moment tomorrow, and there is no room for error, so the widow ordered you to live in Fuzhao Pavilion temporarily from this moment on, and you must not leave the palace." ”

Lu Yu shouted to obey.

King Wei said again: "This time the widow ordered you to escort the princess for Zuo Zhonglang, in addition to Xinlingjun's strong recommendation, Longyangjun is the first time to maintain a high degree of political views with Xinlingjun, and the widow is very happy!" Lu Yu, you have to thank the two of them, after returning to China, in addition to honoring the golden words and rewarding you, the widow will definitely be sealed again, and you can behave well for the widow. ”

Lu Yu secretly thought that Long Yangjun also had a part in this matter, and it should have been before going to the secret path at that time, but Long Yangjun already knew his identity at that time, and let him Lu Yu take on this beautiful errand, just so that he could secretly cover Zhang Wu and the others to leave the Wei State, it seems that this is an errand that has already been "predetermined". At that moment, he kowtowed and thanked him, and said: "The minister will never live up to the love of the king and the two kings, and he will do his best and die." ”

I only heard the king of Wei say again: "You stand down." Then he ordered someone to lead Lu Yu to Fuzhao Pavilion.

Lu Yu was stunned, and said in his heart that he would order him to enter the palace before dawn, just to say such a few words to him, the thoughts of these ancients are sometimes really not easy to guess. But the king's command is hard to disobey, and without your business there is no your business, and it is not a good thing to talk too much. But! Why did the King of Wei send him to retreat, but Ximen Hou was not opened?

With a stomach full of questions, Lu Yu, under the leadership of the eunuchs, bypassed the palaces like a labyrinth, and passed through a man-made pond before arriving at Fuzhao Pavilion. Lu Yu secretly thought that even if he allowed himself to run around here, he might not be able to leave the palace. Along the way, there are more than ten palaces of all sizes; Each palace is carved and painted, resplendent with gold, showing the luxury of ancient kings. The eaves of the roof of the palace are also very particular, and the corners of the eaves and the ridge of the kiss, the sly, the flying phoenix and other sacred beasts, symbolizing the supreme royal power.

Such a palace, even if you stay for ten days, there are road signs everywhere in the palace, you may not be able to swim it all, and Lu Yu, who has only seen the tip of the iceberg, will of course not be able to leave in a moment and a half. Besides, it is heavily guarded, and it is estimated that he has not been able to cross the three gates, and has been captured or killed by the Praetorian Guards.

King Wei must have something to discuss with Xinlingjun and them, but Lu Yu could not participate, it is estimated that it was Wei Mingji's secret plan after arriving in Handan. What kind of plan would that be?

If that was an important secret, why not send Ximen to escort Wei Mingji, but let him be a newcomer to take on this task? Moreover, what made his back chill was that from the first time he saw Xinling Jun, he had already bluntly said that he would say good things for him in front of King Wei and let him go to Handan with the princess's team! At that time, Lu Yu had not yet "really" become his protégé, and it stands to reason that Ximen Hou had followed Xinlingjun for many years, so he should have recommended him instead of Lu Yu, although Longyangjun must have obstructed it.

Before, he always thought it was because of his identity, but now that he thinks about it, it's not like that. On the surface, it seems that it is absolutely reasonable for him, a native of Yunmeng Mountain and an apprentice of Xuanwei Zhenjun, to persuade Zhao to participate in the joint attack on Qin. But if Wei Mingji was not just a niece visiting her aunt, not just persuading King Zhao, then Lu Yu could not think of any other reason except for one reason.

It is very likely that Lu Yu will be a substitute for the dead ghost.

Qin used troops against Zhao and forced Zhao to return the proton, that is, the future Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng. In their plan, the main purpose was to unite the forces of the five vassal states to attack Qin together, and more than once it was mentioned that they would persuade the king of Zhao not to hand over the protons, including Zhang Wu, the Yunmengshan faction, in this view, they were people in the same boat. Although Zhang Wu will not trap Lu Yu in injustice, it is difficult for others to guarantee that they will not. Although Long Yangjun and Xinlingjun fought in private, everything became unpredictable under the premise of national affairs.

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more chilling he became, this possibility was more convincing than he had guessed before, because he still regarded himself as the hero of this era at the beginning, enjoying all kinds of protagonist halos, it seems that those are simply justifying themselves and holding themselves too high.

If the proton can be killed and blamed on Lu Yu, Zhao Guo will no longer have to keep this seemingly bargaining chip, but in fact, it is more like a hot potato. At that time, the Qin State will point the finger at him, force the Zhao State to hand over people, and then turn its anger on the Zhao and Wei Kingdoms. But by then, the coalition forces might have been formed, and the Qin state would have to face an attack by the forces of the five nations, and there was no time to attack any one of them alone. And they are bound to use the strongest soldiers to completely eliminate the threat of the Qin State in order to prevent future troubles.

If Long Yangjun hadn't told him the true purpose of his trip to Handan until he set off, or had not passed it on to him through Zhang Wuzhi's mouth, then Lu Yu could be sure that this guess was correct. The rest were Zhang Wu, Ling Fan and others who were walking with them. After all, if you really want to kill Yingzheng, in addition to finding a reliable person, you must also be a master.

If Zhao Guo wants to stay out of the matter, the person who does it must not be Zhao Guo's people. Maybe it's not necessarily Lu Yu who is behind the black pot, or maybe it's Zhang Wu, who is strong in martial arts, can achieve the same effect, and Lu Yu still can't get out of the relationship. Moreover, for Zhang Wu and others, who were keen on this merger, if they could dedicate themselves to the elimination of the Qin State, it might be an "infinitely glorious" thing.

Long Yangjun didn't tell him, probably thinking that he was a member of the Yunmeng Mountain Sect like Zhang Wu, and he was also ready to make sacrifices.

At present, he can only make plans after arriving in Handan, although this matter is very likely to happen, but after all, it is just Lu Yu's speculation. As long as you ask Zhang Wu for verification at that time, you will know what is going on.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly the footsteps outside the door approached, Lu Yu stood up, and after listening carefully, he really came to Fuzhao Pavilion. was hesitating to go to the door to see, but saw two figures approaching, the person had already arrived, it turned out to be Xinlingjun and Ximen Hou.

Before he came in, Ximen Hou had already said with a smiling face: "Congratulations Brother Lu, no, it's General Lu." ”

After Lu Yu saluted Xinlingjun, he smiled bitterly at Ximen Hou: "Brother Ximen, don't call the younger brother a general, the younger brother is really not used to being called this class." ”

Xinlingjun said with a smile: "Originally, the princess wanted Lu Yu to accompany you to the Yixin Garden to enjoy the flowers, but the king wanted you to rest here and nourish your spirits." Benjun is afraid that you will be bored, so he and Ximen Hou will come to Fuzhao Pavilion to visit you and then return home. ”

Lu Yu was busy expressing his gratitude.

I only heard Ximen Hou say: "You can't wander around at will in the palace, it's really boring, but it's just a day, after setting off tomorrow, Brother Lu can relax as a tour of the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way." ”

Xinlingjun straightened his face and said, "Nonsense! Escorting the princess is an important task, so how can it be child's play. ”

Ximen Hou was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Excellency has taught you a lesson!" The villain just wanted to remind Brother Lu to adjust his mentality and not to affect his spirit due to excessive tension. ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Brother Ximen is a good intention, please don't blame you." The villain must do everything in his power to protect the princess. ”

Xinlingjun said again: "Now that the king has appointed you as the general of Zuozhonglang, you and I will both serve the king in the future, and you don't have to call yourself a villain in front of this monarch." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly humbled again. Although he has already obtained the title of a young general, he is naturally a lot lower than Xinlingjun, even if he is a high official, he is still the younger brother of King Wei, I am afraid that in addition to Longyangjun, the ministers in the court will be jealous of him, and even look at his face, so he still wants to praise it.

Sure enough, Xin Lingjun didn't mention the matter of King Wei leaving them to discuss just now, but just asked Lu Yu to rest well, and the rest was some irrelevant gossip. Lu Yu thought of his red-maned horse, so he took the opportunity to mention it. Xinling Jun frowned slightly and said, "That is indeed a good horse." But tomorrow's king will naturally give horses, so why do you have to ride your own horse? ”

Lu Yu said: "You don't know, although the horses in the palace are naturally trained and easy to control, but the horse has been with the villain for a long time, so it naturally has feelings, and this horse is very obedient to the villain, and it will be much more convenient on the road." ”

Xin Lingjun didn't say anything more, so he agreed to Lu Yu's request, indicating that he would bring his red-maned horse into the palace when he saw him off tomorrow. Perhaps, as Lu Yu guessed, as long as Xiao Zhengwen is in his mansion, he doesn't have to worry that Lu Yu will never return.

Obviously, living in the palace is not free, it is like being placed under house arrest, and no one else has come to visit him after Xinlingjun left, so he is so bored that he panics. couldn't go anywhere, Lu Yu simply lay on the bed and slept comfortably. I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly woken up by a sound outside.

He didn't sleep very deeply, since Yunmeng Mountain came down the mountain, almost every night he practiced the "Seven Methods of Yin Fu" taught by Guiguzi, and he didn't forget to vomit when he was sleeping in bed, and gradually found that even in the state of sleep, he could hear some abnormal sounds, his eyes were like mirrors in the dark, and his ears were much more sensitive than before.

What woke him up was a strange yin and yang voice, the voice was not loud, and it felt like it was trying to suppress it as much as possible, but the penetrating power was very strong, and it could pass through the brain without any obstruction, making him feel that even if he covered his ears, he could "hear" his voice. However, this is obviously not the problem of the person who speaks, it is just captured in Lu Yu's keen hearing. If everyone was like Lu Yu, wouldn't that person be able to whisper anything.

The owner of this voice was supposed to be a eunuch in the palace, and it was cursing that made the already deliberately suppressed tone a little louder and more eerie. Lu Yu originally wanted to put on his eyes and continue to sleep, but at this time he heard a sentence said by the eunuch, which made Lu Yu suddenly lose his sleepiness.

I only heard the eunuch scold: "You two dog slaves, if you overturn the king's elixir and occupy the earth, you must be skinned!" ”

Elixir? Lu Yu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the matter of using a living child to make alchemy. Could it be that the "elixir" for King Wei that the eunuch said was really the elixir refined by the living?

Obviously, there were at least three people outside, but they could only hear what the eunuch said, Lu Yu couldn't hear the voices of others, it was estimated that it was a smaller eunuch, and he didn't dare to speak after being scolded.

I heard the eunuch say in a gloomy voice: "Fortunately, there was no mistake, otherwise even ten heads on your necks would not be enough to cut off." ”

Lu Yu wanted to peek through the crack in the door, but listening to the penetrating power and tone of the eunuch's voice, he knew that this person was not an ordinary eunuch, but might still be a master of the house. If he notices that he is peeking, it will cause some trouble. The departure is imminent, and there should be no more trouble.

It seems that there is no doubt that King Wei is taking pills, as for whether the matter of secretly instructing people to refine pills with live children can be solved, it seems that it is no longer within Lu Yu's power at this moment, and the time he has stayed in Daliang is less than a day, even if Long Yangjun can find out the nest of Xinling Jun imprisoning boys and girls, he is now in the palace and can't get out, and he can't help a little.

After a long time, when he couldn't hear the sound of talking, Lu Yu was sure that the people outside had gone away, so he stretched his waist and sat up from the bed. The bed in this palace is indeed several times more advanced than that in Xinling Jun's mansion, and it is more comfortable than the mattress two thousand years later.

The main pavilion of Fuzhao Pavilion has a total of three floors, and Lu Yu has not yet gone up to the third floor, but when he came, he saw a large bronze bell on it from a distance. On the second floor, there is only one attic room for resting, that is, the room where Lu Yu rests, and there is a large vermilion and blue corridor. The bottom floor is the lobby, and there is a piece of seal characters engraved with two that Lu Yu can't understand in the middle, which I originally thought was "Fuzhao", but it seems to be completely untouched, and I only know that it must be related to this main pavilion.

Lu Yu walked out of the lobby, two guards stood on their posts like wood, and when Lu Yu passed by, the two of them didn't react at all like wax figures. Lu Yu secretly wondered if these two people were really wax figures, otherwise Xinlingjun and Ximen didn't even report when they came just now. There is a good saying, don't think about people during the day, don't miss ghosts at night. Lu Yugang wanted to bypass the outer corridor to see if lunch had arrived, but he saw Long Yangjun's "graceful" steps and was walking towards Fuzhao Pavilion. He was a little skeptical that he was being captive by these ancient people, and all he saw all day long was these faces with their own ghosts.

Long Yangjun, who was dozens of steps away, seemed to be a little surprised, but he didn't stop his steps, as if he was deliberately trying to show off in front of Lu Yu, only to see that he was stepping on strange footwork, and he "floated" over dozens of stone steps very quickly, and stood perfectly in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was stunned, secretly thinking that his light skills were okay, and it seemed that he didn't take a few steps under his feet, so he easily crossed the distance of dozens of stone steps, which is absolutely difficult to do without ten years of hard work. And looking at his elegant figure and free demeanor, it is obvious that this light skill is also one of Long Yangjun's proud masters. Originally, a big man should be handsome and compelling when he performs light skills, but Long Yangjun is as gentle as a fairy descending to earth, which makes Lu Yu really feel a little out of place.

Seeing Lu Yu looking at him with straight eyes, Long Yangjun thought that he was moved by his "beauty", glanced at him with a spring breeze on his face, and said softly: "Does General Lu want Benjun to stand outside the door and talk?" ”

Lu Yu shivered in his heart and asked him to go to the lobby in embarrassment.

Long Yangjun asked as he walked, "I wonder if General Lu is satisfied with the Fuzhao Pavilion arranged by the king?" ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't call your subordinates like others, your scalp will be numb, or just call your name." ”

Long Yangjun smiled again and said, "Most people spend their scheming for an official and a half-job, and they don't hesitate to spend money and materials, but in the eyes of you Lu Yu, there is nothing attractive?" ”

Lu Yu was about to invite Long Yangjun to sit down and talk on the desk in the lobby, but he took Lu Yu's hand and said, "Let's go up to the top floor to talk." I couldn't help but say it, and went directly to the third floor.

It turned out that the bronze bell on the third floor of this attic was more than one person high, but it was not the kind of round bell that is common in modern times, and Lu Yu thought it was the kind of bell in the temple. It is only now that this bell is only one side, but it is more like the kind of bell that is a musical instrument of this era. I secretly thought that Buddhism had not yet been introduced to China at this time, but I just looked at it and felt like it. The meaning of the placement of this bronze bell, originally Lu Yu guessed that it should be related to the daily hour, the ancients usually measured the time through a table or a copper kettle, and then beat the bell with a drum to tell the time, so that people know that this bronze bell may be used to tell the time. However, from entering the palace to this moment, Lu Yu did not hear the bell ring, and suspected that his guess was wrong.

I thought to myself that it was fortunate that I didn't report the news, otherwise I wouldn't have to sleep all night when I lived in this Fuzhao Pavilion.

Long Yangjun stood at the guardrail and looked out for a while before asking, "Lu Ye hasn't answered Benjun's question just now." ”

Lu Yu was called by his name for a while, and he was called by Lu Ye and the general for a while, and he learned him to stand at the guardrail and said: "Whether it is an official or a people, they are all ordinary people, even if they are princes and princes of heaven, in the end, they are not the same to be buried in the ground and turned into mud." ”

Long Yangjun looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes for a long time, until Lu Yu was uncomfortable with him, and then said: "Fortunately, what you said was said to Benjun, if it is listened to by people with ulterior motives, it may be used as an excuse." He added: "Benjun has really never seen someone like you, and he can't see through you at all." ”

Lu Yu said again: "Isn't it? ”

Long Yangjun frowned, looked out, and said, "Because of this, there will be people who continue to pursue immortality and try to go against the sky. ”

Lu Yu remembered what he had just heard, glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said it to Long Yangjun.

After hearing this, Long Yangjun's brows furrowed again, he sighed deeply, and said to Lu Yu: "Benjun is very grateful to Lu Yu for not forgetting this matter at this moment, in fact, just this afternoon, Benjun has already found out the place where the child was captured. ”

Lu Yu suddenly let out a "snort" in his heart and said, "Is the king ready to send someone to smash Huanglong and rescue those poor children?" ”

But he heard Long Yangjun smile bitterly: "Benjun is indeed sure to rescue those children who are still alive, but this matter has been directed at the king, if he can't break his mind, someone will be arrested in the future, and even Benjun will be difficult to rescue in the future." ”
