After making sure that there was no one around, Lu An gently pushed open the door of Xiaoxiang's bedroom and quickly slipped in.

At this time, Lu An's heart was beating fast and he was very nervous, out of caution, Lu An didn't dare to light the lamp, so he could only smear it.

Groping his way to the bed, Lu An reached out and touched under the bed for a long time, but found nothing, so he had to lie on the ground, poke half of his body in, and finally touched a half-foot square box in the innermost corner.

"Found it!" Lu Anxin was overjoyed.

Lu An hurriedly held the box, crawled out from under the bed, and couldn't wait to open the box.

There was nothing special in the box, just a few letters. Since there was no light, Lu An walked to the window with the letter, and by the faint moonlight, he carefully checked the contents of the letter, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Lu An hurriedly opened the remaining letters, and roughly understood what Xiao Xiang meant by the last sentence of revenge to him. Thinking of this, Lu An stuffed the letter into his arms, and the box was put back into the corner under the bed.

He opened the door, poked his head out, and looked around vigilantly, but the courtyard was still silent, so Lu An tiptoed away.

Fortunately, the people in the Huilan Palace were still busy, and no one noticed Lu An's existence at all. When he got out of Huilan Palace, he ran away without looking back.

It was still snowing heavily, and Lu An was shivering with cold in thin clothes. But he didn't go back to his residence, because he knew that these letters in his arms were very important, and if he stayed in the palace at this moment, he might not have a chance to send them out at all, and then what Shi Min ordered before leaving would not be able to be done.

Lu An had only one thought in his mind, no matter what, he wanted to put these letters in Shi Min's hands, because this was the only hope for the Xihua Hou Mansion and the Yan Wang Mansion!

Liu Guifei was almost exhausted at this time, she was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and she was a little confused.

"! Hard! ”

Liu Guifei grabbed the handmaiden's arm so hard that almost her nails were picked into their flesh, but no one dared to say a word, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

"! It's just a little bit close! Go harder! Hard! ”

The midwife's constant encouragement was always awakening Liu Guifei's consciousness and keeping her awake. In the end, Liu Guifei tried her best, accompanied by her "ah" scream, a loud cry pierced the night sky, and then, someone shouted: "Congratulations Niangniang!" Congratulations to Niangniang, she is a prince! ”

Liu Guifei didn't know whether she heard it or not, and after the child came out, she completely fainted due to exhaustion.

Because Lu An has a good personal relationship with the forbidden army in the palace on weekdays, especially the ones who guard the palace gate, it is not a problem to call brothers and sisters, and occasionally Lu An also gives them some silver taels quite generously. Because in Lu An's eyes, he has no parents and no brothers and sisters, and no matter how much money he has, if he doesn't spend it, it is worthless.

The scattered wealth is different, these scattered money, accumulated over time, will invisibly pave the way for Lu An, maybe at an inadvertent time and place, it can change the outcome of things.

With such a relationship, Lu Anshen left the palace in the middle of the night, and the forbidden army only asked a few symbolic questions, and then let him out, after all, he had a good relationship on weekdays, and Lu An was Shi Hu's personal attendant, so there was no harm in stammering for those forbidden troops.

Just as Lu An was about to leave, a forbidden soldier guarding the door suddenly shouted: "Father-in-law Lu stays!" ”

Lu Anxin chuckled, and his hands involuntarily clenched his chest, but he didn't look back at the person, and he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.

The man walked up to Lu An, looked Lu An up and down, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "On this cold day, why are you wearing such clothes?" Isn't it cold? ”

Lu An involuntarily rubbed his hands, pretended to be fine, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's okay, it's not cold!" ”

The man looked embarrassed when he saw Lu An's frozen snot, and said, "Look at Grandpa Lu, why is it frozen like this!" Wait a minute! I'll get you a jacket! ”

"No, no, no! No more! I'm leaving! I'm leaving! I'm still in business! Lu An didn't want to delay, rejected the man's kindness, and ran away.

When the man found the cotton clothes, he found that Lu An had already disappeared, so he asked the other people guarding the door: "Where is Grandpa Lu?" Did you see that? ”

The man next to him took a sip of wine and replied unhurriedly: "It's already gone!" ”

"It's really strange for you to say that this Grandpa Lu! On a cold day, it's about to freeze, but I refuse to wear more clothes! ”

"What do you care about so much! Come on, come on, take a sip! The man said, throwing the sac over.

It's not that Lu An doesn't want to wear a padded jacket, but at this moment, he just wants to stay away from Huilan Palace and Liu Guifei, the farther away the better! He was afraid that he would show his feet in front of those forbidden soldiers, so that they would find out and become suspicious, and even prevent him from leaving the palace.

Therefore, Lu An's only choice is to slip away as soon as possible.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, almost reaching the calf, and Lu An's frozen teeth were fighting, and the "da-da-da" was very crisp.

He remembered that Shi Min had told him that if he had any news, he could go to Xihuahou Mansion at any time. So in such a situation, it was completely impossible for Lu An to personally deliver things to Shi Min's hands, and the only place to go could only be Xihuahou Mansion.

Over the years, Xu San had been accustomed to sleeping in a hut at the entrance of Xihuahou's Mansion, so that he could know any movement at the door as soon as possible.

Of course, this may also be related to the reason why he used to be Shi Zhan's personal guard, a habit that he has never been able to change.

Since Shi Min and Shi Zhan left Yecheng, Xu San has always been unable to sleep at night, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. In addition, Shi Min had asked him to find Qin Wan before leaving, but he didn't expect that more than ten days had passed, but he didn't even have the slightest news about Qin Wan, thinking of this, Xu San had an even more headache.

After lying down for a long time, Xu San finally couldn't bear it anymore, lifted the quilt, and planned to get up and walk around. Just as he was getting dressed, there was a muffled "bang" outside the door, and then there was no movement.

Xu San listened to it and thought that he had heard it wrong, so he asked, "Who!" ”

It's just that there is no response at all except the whirring wind outside the door.

In desperation, Xu San opened the door and poked his head out to look around, wanting to see who was knocking on the door at night. Only then did he find that on the ground at the door, there was a person lying on his stomach, face down, thinly dressed, motionless, Xu San hurriedly stepped forward and turned the person over, without being surprised.

For many days, Li Chengjun and the defenders of Youzhou attacked the city in vain, although Shi Zun knew that Shi Hu's arrangement was based on Shi Min's plan to lure the enemy, but according to Shi Zun's temperament, how could he be willing?

Therefore, even though it had been agreed that the siege was only a feint, Shi Zun also took matters into his own hands and gave a death order to the besiegers. Because if there is no need to use Shi Min's strategy, he can directly take Lu Longsai by relying on his Li Chengjun alone, then the credit is that he Shi Zun alone will monopolize it, and the Xihua Hou Mansion will lose face because of this.

Of course, this is an idea born of Shi Zun's naïve and unfounded conceit.

It's a pity that the terrain of Lulongse is really dangerous, and the surface of the city wall is very slippery, and the weather is very cold, so the difficulty of attacking the city can be imagined. Although Shi Hu would not blame Shi Zun for the failure of the siege, Shi Zun really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he even killed a few captains to warn his subordinates, but unfortunately it seemed to be in vain.

"How is the siege going these days?" Shi Hu asked as he ate the meat.

"Back to my father, everything is going according to your orders, and there are no problems." Shi Zun replied.

"What about the casualties? Have you counted? ”

Shi Zun hurriedly replied: "There are slight casualties, but it doesn't have any effect!" ”

Shi Zhan's father and son saw Shi Zun deceiving himself like this, they were too lazy to expose it, so they didn't speak. [.]
