On the carriage to Ziwei Palace, Lu Yun asked Zuo Yanqing.

"Could it be that my father-in-law has guessed the truth?"

"As long as the information is sufficient, there is nothing in this world that cannot be guessed." Zuo Yanqing hugged his big black cat, his thin hand pulled through the long and dense cat hair, and he was full of villain demeanor. "The reason why you can't guess is because there are some things you don't understand."

"Then you just say it." Lu Yun smiled bitterly: "It's such a close distance, it's just a blink of an eye." ”

"Hehe......" Zuo Yanqing stopped selling Guanzi at this time, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you one thing, now Youyan's Zhenbei Pass is no longer in the hands of the imperial court." ”

"That's natural, Zhenbei Pass has always been Pei Valve's." Lu Yun said as a matter of course.

"Since last month, it is no longer in the hands of Pei Valve," Zuo Yanqing said quietly: "Guess, who will it be?" ”

"Ah......" Lu Yun was terrified for a while, and said in disbelief: "Then there is only one possibility left." ”

"Yes, Taiping Road." Zuo Yanqing bowed slightly, and asked again: "You say, what price does Taiping Dao have to pay to let Pei Valve give up Zhenbei Pass?" ”

"The jade seal of the country...... "Lu Yun patted his head and understood everything." It seems that I have met a peer! ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zuo Yanqing glanced at Lu Yundao and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Lu Yun knew very well that he could hide his affairs from anyone, but he couldn't hide anything from Zuo Yanqing. Otherwise, it will affect his judgment and make him ignore information that may be useful to him.

So, he simply told Zuo Yanqing about the jade seal.

Zuo Yanqing also suddenly realized: "I feel that after Bailiuzhuang, things are full of strangeness, it turns out that you kid is making trouble inside." Saying that, he raised his thumb and said, "Okay, boy, if you can play with so many great grandmasters, we believe it for the first time, and you may be able to do it." ”

"Before you got old, you didn't have confidence in me?" Lu Yun's face was injured.

"Should I have faith?" The old eunuch sneered.

"It really shouldn't." Lu Yun smiled dejectedly, and turned back to the topic: "Sun Yuanlang has never obtained the real jade seal from beginning to end, so what he gave Pei Valve is just a fake." ”

"First of all, according to reliable information, Sun Yuenlong's whereabouts are unknown, and this matter is not his handiwork." Zuo Yanqing said: "Secondly, the people of Taiping Dao are not just relying on a jade seal in exchange for Zhenbei Pass. ”

After a pause, the old eunuch said with a calm gaze: "They liberated the army of 200,000 Pei Lords with a single contract, and the two families will join forces to fight in the future, and it is unpredictable to win or lose against the Xiahou Lord." ”

"It turns out that Pei Valve's ambition is no less than that of Xiahou Valve......" Lu Yun was afraid for a while when he heard this, he had focused all his attention on the Initial Emperor and Xiahou Valve, and almost forgot that there was still a hungry wolf lying next to the tiger who chose people to devour!

"That's a good thing, the more people who come out, the more chaotic it becomes. The more chaotic the situation, the more likely you are to fish in troubled waters. Zuo Yanqing felt that the carriage had slowed down significantly, and knew that he would arrive at Ziwei Palace soon. He made a long story short: "That's the situation, and it's up to you to make the decision." ”

Lu Yun nodded slowly. In an instant, I have digested this amazing news. Indeed, what Zuo Yanqing said was right, Pei Valve joining in would only be good for him, and there would be no harm to him - at least Pei Valve would not merge with Xiahou Valve, which was great news.

Then the rest is to decide, whether to let Pei Valve and Xiahou Valve eat dog, or the initial emperor and Xiahou Valve dog eat dog.

Such a major decision, how can it be made in a hurry. Hearing Yu Linwei's interrogation outside, Lu Yun lowered his voice and said to Zuo Yanqing: "Don't care about anything else, when you see the emperor later, you will say that the jade seal is real." ”

"Well, our family thinks the same way, the trust that Your Majesty and Pei Valve have just established can't withstand any destruction." Zuo Yanqing smiled and nodded, and when the carriage entered Ziwei Palace, he then said softly: "By the way, don't worry that Xiahou Valve will know about Zhenbei Pass, this news is very good that Pei Valve is blocked, and our family also got the news from Taiping City." ”

"That's it......" Lu Yun nodded, but asked a little strangely: "I heard that the disciples of Taiping Dao are very loyal, and it is really unfathomable that my husband can buy them." ”

"It's wrong, it's just the good karma planted in the past." Zuo Yanqing shook his head and said: "Back then, my Western Qin lord admired Taiping Dao's feat of guarding the Chinese clothes and crowns outside the territory, not only allocated several times to support the grain and grass soldiers, but also sent thousands of soldiers out of the customs to help in the battle. Later, my Western Qin canceled the national title and returned to the Xuan Dynasty, and many soldiers stayed in Taiping City and did not return. ”

Therefore, this news was learned by Zuo Yanqing privately, not by the investigation of the Detective Office...... In fact, whether it is the imperial court or the various lords, their eyes are focused on the Central Plains and the spying on the territories of the various valves, and almost no one will pay attention to the Taiping City far away from the pass.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of Changle Gate, the main gate of the Inner Palace, and Lu Yun helped Zuo Yanqing get out of the car. The two stopped talking, and silently came to the front of the Changle Palace, Lu Yun spoke, and Du Hui immediately opened the door of the hall and let Zuo Yanqing in.

Approaching the front of the main hall, Zuo Yanqing let go of his hand, and the black cat in his arms fell to the ground silently, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

The door of the palace slowly closed, and Lu Yun stood still under the platform in front of the hall, and led his Qianniu guards to be on close guard.

。

In the Hall of Changle.

Zuo Yanqing confessed his guilt, carefully picked up the jade seal with both hands, and gathered under the light to observe it carefully for a long time. Fang to Baba looked at his initial emperor:

"That's right, it's the one that the old slave saw in Jinling."

"Oh? Are you sure? The Initial Emperor subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Really, Your Majesty, please look." Zuo Yanqing pointed to the gold-inlaid interface and said: "Under the light here, you can see many fine lines, which are the traces of the Empress Dowager of the Western Wei Dynasty after she fell." The craftsman can repair the broken corner, but he can't remove the cracked lines. ”

I listened to Zuo Yanqing's letter to open the river: "At that time, the old slave had an extra heart, and deliberately counted the top, a total of three long and six short, and nine big lines. This is something that no matter how clever a craftsman is, he can't imitate it. ”

"Oh?" The initial emperor snatched the jade seal and beckoned Du Hui to hold the palace lantern in front of him. He leaned into the light and counted the lines on the seams. "One, two, three...... Seven, eight, nine......"

"It's really three long and six short, nine stripes!" The Initial Emperor was ecstatic, and almost jumped up in excitement.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Zuo Yanqing hurriedly knelt down to congratulate, and said in his heart, can that be right? I just counted. "This heirloom jade seal is a proof of His Majesty's destiny!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty......" Du Hui also knelt down.

"Hahaha, roar, roar, roar, roar, ......" The Changle Hall resounded with the Initial Emperor's smug laughter, and even Lu Yun outside the hall could hear it clearly.
