This thought startled Su Li herself, and the high-pitched voice of the proclamator immediately pulled her chaotic thoughts back to the content of the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Zhao'an Lou is far away from the Zhao country auspicious expedition, the first emperor had a ban on officials, the ministers of the court are not allowed to bring troops into the building, although the matter is urgent today, Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhao Hanzhuo, Jingzhao Yin Zhang Zhong has touched this order, fined Lu for two months, in order to set an example, Qin this!"

"Wait for the order!"

Zhao Hanzhuo and Jing Zhaoyin opened their mouths in unison, there was only one copy of the holy decree, and it was used for punishment, and no one wanted to fight, and the proclamator handed the holy decree to Zhao Hanzhuo.

It's only been two months, and the punishment is not heavy, but not long after they stepped into this teahouse, the holy decree arrived, and Chu Lingzhao still gave enough face to the An family and the first emperor.

The holy decree only said the punishment of Zhao Hanzhuo and Jing Zhaoyin, and did not mention Chu Huai'an, after Su Li helped Chu Huai'an up, the proclamator squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Huai'an, took a ginseng in his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Your Majesty also has an edict: Xiaoyao Hou hero saves the United States Pay attention to proportion, don't toss your own life into it, this century-old ginseng, make up for your brain." ”

These words are a joke between brothers, and the words are full of intimacy, and it is indeed not suitable to be written into the holy decree and proclaimed loudly so that others will know.

Chu Huai'an shook the announcement officer's eyes, raised his hand to reward him with a little broken silver, and took the ginseng.

He didn't want the thousand-year-old snow ginseng that An Wuwu said just now, but now he reached out to take this century-old ginseng, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass An Wuwu.

"Help me, thank you, cousin."

"Yes!"

The proclamator didn't stay long after completing his task, he rode his horse away, Jing Zhaoyin was punished and rushed out of the teahouse like burning his buttocks, Zhao Hanzhuo was not affected, and he arched his hand without worry: "Da Shao, I'm disturbed." ”

He is a cold person, most of the etiquette is still very thoughtful, An Wuwu bowed his head slightly and replied to his salute, and said to the shopkeeper: "Lord Zhao is also here for official business, and I will send the two months of Yulu to Lord Zhao's mansion!" ”

"The food of the king, the thoughts of the worried king, today is the official's inconsiderateness, His Majesty will punish him, and the official is not dissatisfied in his heart."

If you are not dissatisfied, you will not accept the compensation of peace and security.

An Wuwu heard his refusal, raised his sickly white hand to signal the shopkeeper to no longer use, and then watched Zhao Hanzhuo and Chu Huaian walk out of the teahouse.

It was already afternoon, and the afternoon sun was warm, shining brightly, but the teahouse was inexplicably a little gloomy.

Su Li stepped out of the threshold and looked back, only to see An Wufu caged in a layer of shadows, unable to see clearly, as if she wanted to merge with the shadow.

Inside and outside, two distinct worlds are formed.

"What's the fuss, look at your way!"

Chu Huai'an pinched her chin and straightened her head, her shoulders became heavier and heavier, Su Li concentrated on helping Chu Huai'an to walk forward, and after walking two steps, a solemn murmur came from her ear: "Don't worry, I will help you get people back!" ”

“…… Xie Houye. ”

Su Li hesitated for a moment and still held back a thanks, Chu Huai'an's body stiffened, and then relaxed: "Thank you, I owe you a lot, how can this little thing make up for it?" ”

He owes her a lot, I don't know if he has counted Su Bangyue's share together.

Su Li didn't want to argue with him a lot, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

Chu Huai'an's injury soon spread throughout the city, Zhao Hanzhuo asked people to investigate carefully, Jing Zhaoyin also strengthened the patrol in Beijing, and Kyoto, which was originally prosperous and peaceful, was a little nervous and uneasy on this day.

Su Zhaoyue was not there, the whole person of Green Sleeves was panicked, Zhang Zhizhi's junior sister was fine, she came back to her senses, thinking that she had not protected the first employer, she was very guilty and angry, and she couldn't help but take Green Sleeves back to the Quartet Bureau to protect it tightly, and told Su Liqian that if she found any clues, she must be informed, and Su Li had to respond.

When Chu Huai'an and Su Li returned home, it was already evening, Chu Liu got the news and waited at the gate early, and saw Chu Huai'an running from a distance with half of his arm exposed, red eyes, and when he came to the front, he saw the blood-stained bandage on his arm more clearly, and he almost fainted when he breathed heavily.

"How...... How could it hurt like this? Do you still feel pain? Are you hurting your muscles? How good is that? ”

Chu Liu was so anxious, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and he was talking, but he was at a loss when he stood in front of Chu Huai'an, as if a slight touch would make his wound hurt.

"It's okay, minor injury."

Chu Huai'an replied casually, where is Chu Liu's family willing to believe, his eyes fell on Su Li's head, his eyes were full of distress and turned into resentment, and he complained very much that Su Li did not protect his son.

Sensing her gaze, Chu Huai'an leaned on Su Li's shoulder and took Su Li into his arms again, facing Chu Liu's gaze: "Mother, the injury was caused by myself, what do you think she does?" ”

He was still smiling when he spoke, but the maintenance was real, Chu Liu didn't know what he was thinking, wiped his tears with an embroidered handkerchief and said helplessly: "You just protect her!" Our Chu family, Xu owed them the ...... of the Su family in his previous life."

If it weren't for the debt, how could her son be planted on the women of the Su family again and again?

The blame in Chu Liu's tone was obvious, Su Li didn't refute it out loud, and Chu Huai'an didn't make her unhappy at this time, but when Chu Liu's stepped into the door, he whispered in Su Li's ear: "The Su family doesn't owe anything to our family, I owe you a lot." ”

After speaking, he hugged Su Li back.

Back in the courtyard, the subordinates immediately carried hot water, and lanterns were also hung on the corridor outside, Su Li estimated that she was not ready to leave because she had nothing to do, and was stopped by Chu Huai'an: "Where are you going?" ”

"Master Hou is going to bathe."

The implication is that she should avoid it, and in the past, Sizhu mostly helped him.

"It's inconvenient to see your grandfather's hands? Help me undress! ”

Chu Huai'an tried the water temperature and said lazily, Su Li was quite speechless: "I'll help Master Hou call Sizhu over." ”

"I don't want her!"

Chu Huai'an suddenly raised his voice, his tone was heavy with anger, his reaction was a little abnormal, Su Li hesitated for a moment, and went over to help him undress.

Su Li's movements were swift, and he was extremely cooperative, and quickly took off until only a pair of bottoms remained.

Su Li lifted her eyes slightly and looked at him: Do you still take it off?

"Take it off!"

Chu Huai'an said generously, Su Li was not shy at this time, he lowered his head and picked him up, and his eyes inevitably swept to a certain place, a very manly half-asleep beast.

"Does Master Hou want me to help you in?"

Su Li threw her underwear aside and asked calmly, Chu Huaian raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Do you think Benhou ...... needs your help?"

The last four words couldn't be spoken, and Su Li calmly interrupted: "It's not as big as the general." ”

"What?"

Chu Huai'an was a little confused, and subconsciously doubted, Su Li's eyes fell below his waist and abdomen calmly, Chu Huai'an tightened his body, only to look at it seriously for a moment, and repeated what he had just said: "Hou Ye's is not as big as the general." ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an's expression cracked inch by inch, during this time he really liked to let Su Li compare himself with Lu Ji, but he didn't expect this woman to be so bold and dare to say such things in front of him!

Whether this sentence is true or false, it greatly hurts his dignity as a man!

"Su Li, will you tell me again?"

Chu Huai'an gritted his teeth, Su Li tilted his head without fear, and even blinked playfully: "Are you sure you want me to say it again?" ”

“……”

This damn woman!

Chu Huai'an sulked and sat down in the bathtub by himself.

The wound can't be wet, Su Li helped him rub his back, and when he finished washing and wiping his body, Chu Huai'an blasted her out, poking and poking somewhere in his own place and thinking for a while, is he really not as big as Lu Ji?

Wait, no! This woman has actually seen Lu Ji?

Chu Huai'an's face suddenly rolled up with black clouds, but a certain woman who plucked the hair on the tiger's ass had already fled.

Coming out of Chu Huai'an's courtyard, Su Li walked straight to her yard, and halfway through, she saw Sizhu coming back from outside with a panicked expression from a distance.

Su Li remembered Chu Huai'an's exaggerated reaction before, stopped and wanted to say a few words to her, a few steps away, Sizhu saw her, panic flashed in his eyes, he retreated hurriedly, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"You ......"

Su Li stepped forward and tried to pull her up, but Sizhu quickly got up, turned around and ran away.

Sizhu ran very fast, and almost fell down a few times in the middle, but even so, she didn't look back at Su Li, as if there was something very terrifying behind her.

Su Li didn't chase her, Sizhu is in such a state now, Su Li just caught up with her, I'm afraid she won't be able to ask anything, maybe she will be scared out of control and talk nonsense like Liu Guiren.

Ignoring this little episode, Su Li turned around and went back to her yard, locked the courtyard door and returned to the room, Su Li immediately turned out an ink-colored men's dress from the bottom of the cabinet and changed into it.

There must be something wrong under the storehouse and firewood room of the teahouse, and there is not enough time during the day to check carefully, so Su Li is going to sneak in to check it later.

After changing her clothes, Su Li went to the kitchen and secretly took two nests to fill her stomach, came out of the back door of the Hou Mansion while eating, and walked to the street, but it was brightly lit, and it was about to be the night curfew, but the street was still full of people.

After walking around the street and seeing someone selling lanterns and guessing lantern riddles, Su Li remembered that today was the Lantern Festival.

Because of Chu Huai'an's injury, Chu Liu's family is now devoted to Buddha again, so this Lantern Festival Xiaoyao Hou's Mansion is particularly deserted, but this does not affect the lively Lantern Festival of others.

There are a lot of children on the street, pulling the corners of their parents' clothes to buy small toys, Su Li walked fast, hurriedly looked, and suddenly saw a noodle man who did very skillfully doing manual work.

The man on that face didn't know which dynasty and which generation of generals he was pinching, wearing a golden armor, a bright red cloak, riding a black and brown horse under his crotch, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, was riding a horse, extremely majestic, and his face was three points similar to Lu Ji.

"How do you sell this?"

Su Li walked over and asked with the man, the stall owner was a man in his early twenties, dressed very ordinary, he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and continued to focus on the work in his hands, Su Li only saw a shadow cast under his smooth forehead and the bridge of his nose, and the man said lightly: "Ten copper plates!" ”

It's not expensive, Su Li took out ten copper plates and threw them into the clay pot he was holding money

After returning to Beijing for so long, Ah Zhan should miss Lu Ji very much, and he can coax him to be happy with this face.

Su Li thought about it, and was about to put the noodle man in his sleeve pocket, but the noodle man's head suddenly broke and fell to the ground.

Su Li was startled, but saw that there was a small piece of paper on the broken neck of the person.

What is it?

Su Li hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper, the piece of paper was only two fingers wide and long, and eight words were written on it: Protect Ah Zhan, don't worry about anything else!

Seeing these eight words, Su Li's heart tightened suddenly, and she hurriedly turned back to the stall, where the stall owner was still sitting, still in the posture of a person who bowed his head and pinched his dough, Su Li grabbed him by the collar and forced him to raise his head, and saw a strange face covered with moles.

"Gong ...... Childe, what's wrong? ”

"Where's the guy sitting here just now?" Su Li asked eagerly, the man's eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about how to lie, Su Li flipped his hand and put the wooden skewer that had just poked the face against the man's neck: "Say it quickly, otherwise I'm welcome!" ”

The man didn't expect such a white-faced and elegant boy to move his hands so unambiguously, and hurriedly spoke: "Go ...... Walked in the direction of the city gate. ”

Su Li threw away the man and chased forward, but now is the time to put the river lanterns, and the street is almost crowded, how can Su Li catch up?

Where is it? Where exactly?

Su Li refused to give up, squeezing the crowd forward, her eyes kept searching the crowd, and soon, she caught the back of a head wearing a felt hat.

"Stop!"

Su Li blurted out, her heart stirring as if she was about to jump out of her throat, but she still kept her senses and didn't dare to call his name in public.

Lu Ji, stop!

Su Li shouted in her heart, pushing aside the crowd more and more lonely, and suddenly an exclamation came from behind her: "Mother, save me!" ”

Ah Zhan!

Su Li turned around and didn't see where Su Zhan was.

"Ah Zhan?"

Su Li shouted, and when she turned around, the back had disappeared into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

"Mother! I've fallen, save me! Su Zhan's cry for help came again, Su Li gritted her teeth, gave up the chase and walked in the direction of Su Zhan.

There were too many people, Su Zhan was small, and he couldn't get up when he fell, so Su Li quickly found him and carried him to himself to squeeze out the crowd.

Su Zhan was originally wearing a moon-white brocade robe, dressed up beautifully, but now his hair crown is crooked, there are several big footprints on his clothes, and his two chubby little hands are also worn out in several places, which is pitiful.

"Why are you here alone? There are so many people, what are you doing squeezing in? What if I'm not here? Su Li asked eagerly, her tone was a little reproachful, but more worried.

Su Zhan didn't feel any pain at all, and rubbed her face with his two hands around Su Li's neck and little head: "Mother, I miss you so much, I just saw you on the street, I kept calling you from behind, and you didn't hear it." ”

"Did you see it just now? You saw it when I bought noodles? ”

Su Li grabbed Su Zhan's arm and asked, Su Zhan nodded proudly, Su Li looked left and right, and carried Su Zhan to a secluded place: "Did you also see the uncle of the dough pinching man just now?" ”

"See, he has a lot of moles on his face, and he doesn't look good at all."

Su Zhan shook his head and said, Su Li pursed her lips, she knew Su Zhan, so she could easily see through Su Zhan's little tricks.

Su Zhan deliberately dragged her, and he saw Lu Ji.

Just now, on this bustling street of Kyoto, under the nose of the Ninety-Five!

As a general on the edge of the town, without the imperial order, he is not allowed to leave his post without permission, this is a death order, but Lu Ji has violated it now, this crime is far greater than the crime of killing the grain transport envoy, if it is discovered, there is only one way to die.

Su Li's back was cold for a while, and her face was terrifyingly solemn, Su Zhan was so infected by her that he smiled, a little uneasy, and his chubby little hand poked Su Li's cheek.

"Mother, you ...... Don't be angry, I did see ...... just now."

"Ah Zhan!" Su Li eagerly interrupted Su Zhan: "You did the right thing, what happened just now, no matter who asks you, what you see is the uncle with a mole on his face!" ”

"Mother, I'm ...... Is it really done right? Su Zhan hesitated, he was not a child who didn't understand anything, and many of him knew what the four words military orders meant by the words.

He knew that his father, who stood up to the sky, had violated the military order, a very serious kind, so serious that he could be killed.

"Hmmm! You did nothing wrong! Su Li held Su Zhan's face for sure, but she still had palpitations, and her rapid breathing had not eased up.

Lu Ji would not come to Beijing at the risk of killing his head for no reason, something major must have happened that made him have to leave the border pass.

What the hell is going on? Why didn't anyone report this to the court?

Su Li thought quickly, cold sweat broke out in her palms.

"Young Master Su, where are you? Young Master Su ......"

Hearing the shout, Su Zhan waved excitedly: "I'm here!" ”

As the words fell, several tall people in short clothes hurried over, followed by Lu Guogong, who was wearing a gray robe.

How could Su Zhan be with Lu Guogong?

Su Li was surprised, hugged Su Zhan and saluted: "The people's daughter meets Lu Guogong!" ”

"No, no, no!" Lu Xiao said eagerly, his sharp eyes quickly swept over Su Li and Su Zhan, and seeing that Su Zhan was in a mess and had injuries on his hands, he waved his big hand: "Go to the hospital to treat the injuries first!" ”

“……”

The group formed two unshakable human walls to escort Su Li and Su Zhan to the hospital, today is the Lantern Festival, the doctors in the hospital have gone back to reunite with their families, only the guys stayed, Lu Xiaoxin couldn't help the guys, let people give the silver, and personally grabbed the medicine and grinded it into powder for Su Zhan.

"Xiao Zhan, does it hurt? If it hurts, tell grandpa, and grandpa will lighten it. ”

“……”

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Su Li would never have believed that the Lu Guo Guild who was galloping on the battlefield would talk to others in such a gentle tone.

"It doesn't hurt, Dad said that men sweat and bleed without tears!"

Su Zhan said bravely, his little face was calm, his dark eyes were blinking, there was no moisture at all, Lu Xiao heard him say this, and immediately turned his eyes: "Nonsense!" You're so young, how can your dad talk such a bastard to you? ”

"My dad said that that's what his dad taught him when he was a child, so is my dad's dad also talking bastards?"

Lu Xiao: "......"

Su Li: "......"

The atmosphere was very delicate for a while, and Su Li coughed lightly: "Ah Zhan, don't talk to Grandpa Lu like this!" ”

Su Li scolded, Lu Xiao looked back at her meaningfully, lowered his head and wrapped a layer of gauze around Su Zhan's hand.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."

Su Zhan thanked him obediently, Lu Xiao replied, and after a while, there was a cry at the door of the medical hall, and a green-clothed maid stumbled in, and saw Su Zhan'an safe, and knelt on the ground with weak legs: "Woo, little master, fortunately you're fine, if something happens to you, the slave will definitely be killed by the lady, woo woo woo ......"

The maid was really frightened, Su Zhan was obedient and smart, she usually had nothing to do when she went out to play, who would have thought that she had just gone out today, she went to buy snacks for Su Zhan, and when she turned around, she saw a few tall men blocking the carriage and taking Su Zhan away, the maid was so frightened that she cried all the way and chased all the way, and it was only now that she knew that these men were Lu Guogong's subordinates.

"Okay, don't cry, the child's yang is weak, don't cry to add bad luck to him during the big holidays!" Lu Xiao scolded dissatisfiedly, he actually didn't mean to be a fierce little girl, but he had been in the barracks for a long time, and his tone was always stiff with the coldness of the north.

The green-clothed maid hiccuped in fright, and she didn't dare to blink an eye with a teardrop falling from the corner of her eye, for fear that the tears would fall in the blink of an eye.

"Well, stop crying, I'm fine."

Su Zhan patted the maid's shoulder with a look of comfort, and her serious appearance made people want to laugh, and the maid couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Lu Xiao glanced at Su Li again, and it was clear that he had something to say.

Su Li faintly sensed what he was going to say, sighed secretly, and said to the maid: "It's not too early, let's take the little young master back to the house to rest first, be careful in the future, don't lose it again." ”

"Yes, thank you, Miss Three!"

The maid hurriedly thanked her, and Su Zhan looked at Su Li with a stunned eye: "Mother, I still have a lot to say to you." ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm free in a few days, so I'll go home today."

Su Li insisted, Su Zhan was a little disappointed, but he could also feel the undercurrent between Su Li and Lu Xiao, he nodded and looked at Lu Xiao, with a sincere face: "Grandpa Lu, my mother is very good to me and my father, although my father is not here, but you are not allowed to murder my mother, otherwise I and ...... I'll avenge my mother when I grow up!. ”

Su Zhan wanted to say that he and his father would avenge his mother, but when he thought that his father was 'dead', he hurriedly changed his words.

Hum! Avenge? With your little arms and legs, you still take revenge on Lao Tzu?

Lu Xiao snorted coldly in his heart, and his face was serious: "Okay, the men of my Lu family will never bully women, don't be a mother-in-law, go quickly!" ”

Su Li: "......"

Lu Guogong, the way you talk to your child's father is really ...... Same!

Su Zhan was said for the first time that her mother-in-law and mother suddenly felt that she had hurt her face, and immediately straightened her back, and left with the green-clothed maid with her small chest high.

When Su Zhan left, Lu Xiao gave him a look, and his subordinates kicked out the medicine hall guys and guarded them everywhere, forming a quiet and safe space.

"Let's talk about it."

Lu Xiao raised his chin and said, as if he knew everything well, and the general interrogation was like this, Su Li was not flustered, and asked calmly: "What does Lord Guogong want to hear?" ”

Lu Xiao lifted his eyes, his eyes seemed to be an invisible thin blade piercing Su Li's body inch by inch, he had never seen blood, but it was really painful, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago, but Su Li still gritted his teeth and endured it.

After a while, Lu Xiao took away the bloodthirsty and ruthless coercion, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, and the corners of his eyes that were like cold hooks all the year round were also dyed with warmth: "This little cub is exactly the same as that stinky boy when he was a child, and even the tone of his speech is carved out of a mold, do you really think that Lao Tzu can't recognize it with dizzy eyes?" ”

Lu Xiao's tone was a little proud, on the one hand, because he knew that he was happy to have such a big grandson, and on the other hand, because Su Zhan was smart and likable.

This child is well raised, smart, and has a lot of sense of justice, he is a good seedling, and he will definitely be very promising in whatever he does in the future.

"Please forgive Lord Guogong, Ah Li rushed back to Beijing, and he has not yet explored the situation in Beijing, so he did not let Ah Zhan and Lord Guogong recognize each other."

Speaking of which, Su Li did not find any excuses to prevaricate and cover up Su Zhan's identity, and simply admitted it generously.

The smile on Lu Xiao's face did not decrease, and he raised his hand and pointed at her: "The old man has also heard of you, a little girl, and knows that you are a little different, I never thought that you were so capable, but it made the old man impressed!" ”

"Lord Guogong praises it falsely!"

Su Li replied, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not ashamed of herself because of the gossip five years ago, Lu Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "The bones are not soft, but they are somewhat similar to the donkey temper of that stinky boy." ”

Lu Xiao knocked on the table as he spoke, took out a silver lock from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Li.

The silver lock is specially made, the lock is very exquisite, and the one engraved on it is not an ingot, but a mandarin duck, Su Li can draw, and at a glance it can be seen that the lock is engraved with a mandarin duck.

Mandarin ducks have always been in pairs, and this lock is naturally two.

Su Li had seen another one five years ago, it was the only thing Lu Ji had with him, and after that, he never wore that lock again.

"This is the stinky boy's mother who let him fight, it's a pair, one is on the stinky boy, this one is ......"

"Lord Guogong, I can't ask for this!" Su Li excused herself and explained in a low voice in Lu Xiao's puzzled gaze: "Lord Guogong, I ...... Not Ah Zhan's biological mother. ”

"What about his birth mother?" Lu Xiao asked softly, with a rare trace of sadness on his face, he had already guessed a few points, and Su Li told the truth: "It's gone." ”

It's gone, it's just gone, you can't see this person in this world, you can't hear this person's voice.

Lu Xiao has seen countless lives and deaths in his life, and this heart should have been as hard as iron, but now he still can't control his sadness when he hears the news.

The Guogong Mansion is very large, but few people can let him talk about his heart.

He looked at Su Li and remembered some distant and vague old things.

"The stinky boy's mother was also gone when he was very young, when I was in a hurry at the border war, she was seriously ill in Beijing, and when I came back, the grass on her grave had grown almost one person tall."

Talking about his wife who died early, Lu Xiao's eyes quickly turned red, and there was a trace of rickets on his always straight back, this iron-clad man, all the tenderness in this life was given to the beautiful woman who died early.

"The stinky boy doesn't remember what his mother looks like, and now his son is like this......"

Lu Xiao choked up as he spoke, when he lost his beloved wife when he was young, it was always more cruel to his own flesh and blood than to happen to him.

"The general taught Ah Zhan very well, and Ah Zhan has lived happily all these years!"

Su Li comforted dryly, apart from this, she didn't know what else she could say at this time.

Thinking of Su Zhan, Lu Xiao's grief was lightened, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, wiped away the tears that had not had time to form, and after a while, he returned to the usual calm and serious image of the prince.

Like many years ago, when I received the news of the death of my beloved wife on the battlefield, after a moment of sadness, I continued to go into battle to kill the enemy.

People like them are not destined to be as happy as others.

After calming down, Lu Xiaofu looked at Su Li again: "Let's talk about it, what happened, after you returned to Beijing, you didn't enter the Guogong Mansion, but let my relatives and grandchildren enter your Su family's ancestral home?" ”

Lu Xiao asked very calmly, and he was not angry about Su Zhan's entry into the ancestral home of the Su family, but he just wanted to know the secret behind this.

In a word, Su Li had nothing to hide, and knelt down in front of Lu Xiao with a puff, and kowtowed heavily: "Please forgive the Lord Guogong, the people's daughter returned to Beijing to shield the murderer who killed the grain transport envoy!" ”

Lu Xiao is a bright and upright person, and he has always been worthy of the emperor and the queen of heaven and the earth below, and the king and the people are worthy of the principle of 'being worthy of the emperor and the queen of heaven and earth, and the bottom is worthy of the king and the people', with his temperament, even if the only son makes a big mistake, he can kill his relatives in righteousness, so Su Li did not dare to find Lu Xiao immediately after returning to Beijing to tell the truth.

After listening to Su Li's words, Lu Xiao didn't speak for a long time, his expression went from shock to enlightenment, and finally turned into endless desolation.

"That stinky boy...... Killed the grain messenger? ”

Lu Xiao spoke very slowly, and there was a pause in the middle, he couldn't imagine that his son, who was brought up by himself, would do such a foolish thing.

Su Li was a little unbearable, but she still replied stubbornly: "Yes!" ”

"This stinky boy really gives Lao Tzu a long face!" Lu Xiao chuckled, his smile was full of scoundrel pathos.

He knew his son's temper very well, and if he hadn't been forced to be anxious, he would definitely not have done such a thing as beheading the court officials.

He is also very aware of the laws of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Whatever the reason, it was a felony to kill the grain transporter, and even if all the military exploits of their father and son combined, it would not be worth this crime.

Because there are too many people who will be caught in the DPRK and want Lu Ji's life for this crime......

"There are people in the DPRK who embezzle military salaries, last year's snow disaster, riots at the border gates, the general went to the fold to ask His Majesty to allocate funds for disaster relief, the disaster relief funds have not arrived for a long time, the general used military rations to appease the people, but the winter grain sent by the grain transport envoy was reduced by half than usual! There is not enough food in the army, let alone the people at the border? ”

Su Li eagerly said the reason, what she didn't say was the border riot, the soldiers in the army only ate one meal a day, she didn't say how arrogant the attitude of the grain envoy was, and she didn't say how much moldy and rotten rice was mixed with the half of the winter grain that the grain envoy transported.

She didn't say that if she didn't kill the grain messenger that day, the people of several cities in the border pass would immediately turn against the Chenghu people!

On that day, Lu Ji only used one shot to pick the heart of the grain transport envoy, but he also picked the reputation of the Lu family's loyalty and patriotism.

If they weren't cornered, who would have put themselves to death first?

Lu Xiao's eyes were red and bright with anger, and from Su Li's national discussion at the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, he vaguely guessed that the army was not good now, but he did not expect that the situation in the army would be so much worse than he imagined.

"On that day, you came to the Guogong Mansion with the imperial whip to ask me for something, not to intercede for Xiaoyaohou, but to ask Zhao Hanzhuo to investigate the corruption case?"

"Yes!"

Su Li admitted that Lu Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, no wonder Zhao Hanzhuo would take the initiative to intervene in the investigation at the palace banquet that day, and he was fulfilling his promise.

"Master Hou knows about this matter and is also helping you?"

"Yes."

"Does anyone else know about this?" Lu Xiao asked again, and Su Li hesitated: "Your Majesty has guessed that I know the general, but I have never mentioned the matter of the grain transportation envoy, I am not sure if Your Majesty knows about it, but from the previous conversations, it can be seen that Your Majesty seems to be suspicious of the An family." ”

"Settle down?"

Lu Xiao stroked his beard thoughtfully, and after a while, he looked at the silver lock in his hand, and after playing for a while, Lu Xiao handed the lock to Su Li again: "Although you are not the biological mother of the little cub, you can also enter the door of my Lu family, take it." ”

The lock that Lu Ji was wearing was no longer there, and Su Li couldn't be right even if she held it, but she didn't refuse again, and reached out to take it: "Lord Xie Guogong!" ”

"Get up."

Lu Xiao said and helped Su Li, his hands were very strong, there were scars crisscrossing his hands, overlapping with dense palm prints, and the palm was warm and hot, endless and mellow, making people feel calm and calm.

"Lord Guogong, please give me a little more time, I will soon be able to find out the culprit and clear the general's name!" Su Li pleaded, Lu Xiao made a straight face, looked at Su Li with a cold look, and when Su Li couldn't help but want to avoid his gaze, he suddenly raised his hand and patted her forehead.

"Stinky girl, that's my son, can I still rush to send him to death?" This action seemed to be treating Su Li as her own, Su Li was still a little uncomfortable, rubbed her forehead and agreed: "...... Kokuko-sama is right. ”

A bouquet of fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the Yuanxiao Lantern Festival was about to end, Lu Xiao looked outside and said with a clear face: "You are dressed like this today, where are you going to climb over the wall at night?" ”

This tone is like the elders of the family catching their juniors and going out to climb the wall to do bad things.

Su Li's face was slightly hot, but she didn't hide it: "Don't hide it from Lord Guogong, today in the backyard of Zhao'an Building, I found that the warehouse and firewood room were a little strange, but I didn't have enough time to take a closer look, so I wanted to investigate it later." ”

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone." Lu Xiao said, his eyes swept around, and he said to Su Li: "These few people in the house are all trustworthy, you pick two and take them away." ”

"Zhao'an Building has a ban on officials, if I am caught, there is still a saying, in case I ......"

"If I am caught, I will go and meet the Holy Protector to protect you!" Lu Xiao interrupted Su Li's words, his voice was much higher, the momentum of his whole body became cold, and the silver threads on his sideburns were like frost.

Su Li discovered the strangeness of the teahouse during the day, but she couldn't investigate it at the time, and she must have alarmed the people behind it.

As long as the people behind it are not stupid, they will not still have those weirdness waiting for her to check again, she wants to go again, which is tantamount to knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

It's just that those people may not have the time to be too detailed, and what clues will be left behind.

Marching and fighting, the most taboo is to push back and forth, Su Li swallowed the words behind, and chose two people to leave directly.

The lantern festival just ended, and the crowd returned, covering their whereabouts, and the teahouse was still brightly lit, and the guests gradually dispersed.

After another half an hour, the lights in the teahouse went out, leaving only a few sparse lanterns in the corners of the eaves.

The guy closed the door of the store, Su Li and the two people lay on the eaves of the backyard of the teahouse, and after the lights went out in the room where the guy lived in the teahouse, they waited for a while before quietly sneaking into the backyard.

After walking through the day, Su Li was very familiar with the terrain of the backyard, and quickly found the warehouse with people.

The two people are also very experienced, seeing that the warehouse was locked, they immediately took out a silver needle to unlock it, and after the door opened, one person went in to explore the way, Su Li followed behind, and left a person outside to guard the door for warning.

The night was cold, but after entering the house, Su Li didn't feel the same heat as the day.

It's okay to burn the hearth during the day, but it doesn't burn at night?

Su Li frowned, squatted down, took out a short dagger from the sole of her shoe and wedged it into the floor tiles, and with a slight prie, the floor tiles immediately loosened, and the bottom was really empty!

Su Li was overjoyed and lifted the floor tiles.

"Be careful!"

The first to explore the path grabbed Su Li by the collar from behind and pulled her backwards, avoiding the short arrows that shot from under the floor tiles.

Syllable!

Short arrows pierced the roof of the house, and fine pieces of slag fell.

"The house is full of mechanisms, it has been touched, don't move!"

The man warned in a low voice, his tone was a little nervous, Su Li picked up the floor tiles and smelled them, the bricks were already cold, and only the smell of charcoal fire remained on them.

"There's a hearth down there, the fire has been extinguished, and I want to see where it leads."

"You have to break the mechanism first."

"How do you break it?" Su Li asked, the man didn't speak, coughed lightly, and suddenly grabbed Su Li's belt and threw her out of the door.

As if he had eyes on his back, he was guarding the door and turned around to catch Su Li.

Whoosh!

The sound of sharp arrows immediately sounded in the room, and by the moonlight, Su Li only saw the figure of the man who kept dodging and touching the mechanism.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of the arrows ceased, and as for the man's heavy breathing, the tiles of the roof of the storehouse were shot to pieces, and the soft moonlight poured down through the dense narrow gaps.

"Alright."

As he spoke, the man raised his hand and removed a few more tiles, revealing a tunnel half an arm's width and half a man high.

The tunnel was full of black ash burned by the smoke, and he jumped down first, Su Lifu entered the house and followed him, and the person at the door was on guard as usual.

After getting down the tunnel, you can feel that there is still a little residual heat on the wall, it is dark inside, there is no light at all, and the distance of half an arm width is quite difficult for the man to walk, and this person is relatively tall, so he can only walk sideways.

Su Li just wanted to go ahead, and the tip of her nose suddenly smelled the familiar smell of tung oil.

Wrong!

The alarm bell sounded in his head, and Su Li grabbed the man's belt: "Go back!" ”

The man was unable to move, Su Li was almost grabbing the man's belt and dragging it back, they ran back a few steps, the tunnel suddenly became very bright, and the raging tongue of fire was wrapped in a heat wave.

"Boom!"

Huge explosions echoed through the night sky.

Far Zhao country Xue Ze year, the new emperor succeeded to the third year, the night of the Lantern Festival, the sky fell thunder, the country's famous Zhao'an building firewood room suddenly caught fire, the fire burned for a day and a night, the next day everyone found that the warehouse was struck by lightning and collapsed......
