Chapter Ninety-Eight: Simple Things
Liu Qingqing and Wang Tingzhi? Still having a good time?
What do they have to talk about?
Lu Heng couldn't help but be a little puzzled in his heart, frowned and thought about it, but still found that there was nothing between the two of them that could be talked about together.
It seems that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was still some unhappiness between the two women.
Why did things become like this in the past two days?
Thinking so in his heart, the Zhan guards on the side were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
"This, Master Lu, let's go. The prince is waiting in a hurry! Zhan Guard looked at Lu Heng in a daze, and asked eagerly.
After Lu Heng came back to his senses, he smiled embarrassedly when he saw the anxious appearance of the Zhan guard, and patted his forehead: "I just thought of something, but I forgot it." I'm really sorry, let's go, let's go to King Ning's Mansion! ”
The two got on their horses and raised their whips lightly. The black steed, like two black lightning bolts, galloped towards the Ning Wangfu in Wuyi Lane.
It was only when the sound of the horses' hooves faded away that the nearby chai gate was opened.
In peacetime, those neighbors who avoided the Lu family looked at Lu Heng's distant shadow, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
How could the children of the Lu family put on the high branches of Ning Wangfu, I really don't know what high incense their ancestors burned.
Along the way, the Zhan guards also told Lu Heng about some things that had happened in Jiangning in the past two days.
I heard that the Su family collapsed overnight, and the family was ruined. And after the Liufu was mysteriously destroyed, although Lu Heng's face was still calm, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
Hey, since ancient times, political struggles have been the most brutal. If you are not careful, you will be crushed!
From the words, he naturally knew that the Holy Decree had not yet come to Jiangning. And the demise of the Su Liu family is completely a struggle within their camp.
This Lord An, heh, is really not to be underestimated!
And it is estimated that with the skill of this Lord An, the rest of the Su family is likely to encounter misfortune in the future.
Lu Heng shook the reins of the horse slightly, and in his thoughts, he thought of Su Qianqian, who had been following him a long time ago.
Lu Heng rode a horse, listening to the Zhan guards talking about these things with a faint expression, occasionally with a flickering look in his eyes, but he was always smiling, looking like Mount Tai had collapsed and did not change color.
As the guards spoke, they occasionally gave a lot of Lu Heng's expression. Seeing this person, his face did not change, and he looked light, and he really admired it in his heart, Lu Gongzi had such a calm mentality.
"Childe, how did you get out of danger after being kidnapped by the assassins?" The Zhan guard hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
Lu Heng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I made a deal with him, and she let me go! ”
"It's as simple as that?" Zhan Guard blinked and asked in amazement.
Lu Heng smiled, nodded and said, "It's as simple as that, hehe, drive!" ”
The whip in his hand was raised, and the horse under him neighed, like wind and lightning, and galloped forward.
Behind him, the Zhan guard scratched his head, as if he had figured it out, nodded and said to himself: "Well, he is worthy of being a scholar, and he really has enough eyes." Doing business with killers, hehe, why didn't I come up with this idea! It's so easy enough! Drive! ”
He smiled, raised his whip, shouted, and chased after him.
……
Wuyi Lane, in the palace of King Ning
The bamboo forest is swaying, and the leaves are falling one after another. In the forest, the brook is babbling, and the birds are singing. A clear stream, flowing slowly through a small pavilion in the forest. The clear stream reflects the picture of the three people drinking in the pavilion, which is warm and quiet.
Lu Heng, Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan sat at a stone table, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was indeed extremely harmonious.
"How is Yongzheng going to deal with this matter, do you want the old man to help you ......" Wu Ningyuan took a sip of the wine glass, raised his hand and made a downward slashing motion, a trace of murder flashed in his shrewd eyes, and asked Lu Heng with a smile on his face.
During the conversation, the two of them asked about their escape.
They are all friends, so naturally they have nothing to hide. Lu Heng smiled and told them about his experience in the past two days. However, on his deathbed, he asked the two old men to keep it secret and never mention it to Liu Qingqing. In the end, he also glared at Wu Ningyuan in particular.
This old man, although his heart is good. Usually he is also old-fashioned. However, he is always full of thinking about making himself an official. Perhaps, when the other party is in the royal family, he will naturally make plans for his own country.
However, this old man's seduction twice and three times made Lu Heng feel extremely helpless.
Especially last time, when I talked about the construction of the war. The old guy patted his chest with a straight face, promising not to say it. What happened to the result, it didn't take a few days for Hong Fat Man to know.
"Such an assassin is too dangerous. It's always a hassle to keep it! Hong Quan nodded in agreement with a solemn expression, but one hand kept pinching the peanuts and throwing them into his mouth.
"As for the Gu poison on Childe's body, you can rest assured. The old man also knows some mages in Miao Jiang, so it's okay to solve the poison! Hong Quan patted the peanut skin in his hand, raised his head, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
After saying this, the two of them looked at Lu Heng with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Lu Heng drank the tea by himself, gently blew a trace of tea leaves on the tea water, and took a sip. When I looked up, I saw these two old guys, staring at me. I can't help but laugh.
"Two, it's not okay to be idle. Why are you looking at me so seriously? Lu Heng put down the teacup, spread his hands, and smiled helplessly.
Hearing this, the two old men immediately glared.
"You kid, you don't know the hearts of good people! This is called kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! Wu Ningyuan glared at Lu Heng angrily, and said with a smile.
Hong Quan muttered a few words in his mouth, and in the end, he just nodded in agreement: "That's right, what Lord Ning said is right!" ”
After some bickering, the three of them stopped mentioning the matter.
Looking at Lu Heng like that, it seemed that he didn't want to do anything to this assassin. Since they are all friends, the three of them are all smart people, and if they have anything, even if they don't say it, they all understand it in their hearts. Seeing that Lu Heng didn't want to say too much about this matter. Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and stopped pursuing it.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Lu Heng was worried about Liu Qingqing in his heart after all, so he looked a little restless. The precious autumn scenery in front of us is no longer pleasant. In the end, he really couldn't stand the eyes of the two old men who knew but deliberately delayed time, so he had no choice but to clench his fists and leave first.
"Yongzheng, are you going to meet the beauty?" Wu Ningyuan stood up for the old disrespect, pulled his throat, laughed and shouted.
Hearing behind him, Wu Ningyuan's words were really a big surprise. Lu Heng almost stepped on the air and fell to the ground. Turning his head angrily, I wanted to say that you old guy has a dirty mind. However, when he saw Wu Ningyuan standing in the pavilion, his pale hair fluttering in the wind, and his face was full of sincere smiles. There was only helplessness left in my heart.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he clenched his fists at the two people in the pavilion. Lu Heng turned around and left.
As he walked, he shook his head amusefully when he remembered Wu Ningyuan's white hair fluttering in the pavilion just now, and remembered his disrespectful words for the elderly.
Hey, this old man, what a cute!
In the pavilion, the fire is whirring, and the wine is warm on the stove, and the wine fragrance is overflowing. The cold wind of late autumn is blowing by. Around the pavilion, bamboo curtains rattled. Occasionally, a withered yellow bamboo leaf, through the curtain, staggered and landed on the stone table in the pavilion, shook it a few times, and then stopped moving.
Around the pavilion, the samurai in black armor scanned the surroundings with cold eyes, and the two court elders in the pavilion were the conscientious guardians.
"Now Jiangning officialdom is in turmoil, first Su Guangyi committed suicide by taking poison, and then Fan Zeng, who was originally a Qincha, was imprisoned. Up to now, everyone in Jiangning is in danger, does Lord Hong know the cause of this incident? Wu Ningyuan stretched out his fingers and flicked off the fallen leaves on the table, took a sip of the wine glass, and looked at Hong Quan with a smile and asked.
Hong Quan, as the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, knows these things. However, seeing the solemnity on Prince Ning's face, he was shocked, and he knew that there was something else wrong with this matter. So he immediately stood up, tidied up the clothes on his body, bowed down and hugged his fists and said to Wu Ningyuan: "I don't know, please show the prince!" ”
After Lu Heng left, the two resumed their dignity and humility. After all, the person in front of him is the former god of war of the Great Zhou, and now the royal prince and nobleman, Wu Ningyuan, the king of Huainan, even if the two are chatting happily, they can't mess up the etiquette of respect and humility.
For Wu Ningyuan, it is enough to have friends who can be on an equal footing with him, Zhang Wenshan and Lu Heng. If there are more, then they will no longer be friends. The royal majesty still needed to be maintained, although the emperor was suspicious of him. But that's also helpless, you can't ignore the royal majesty because of the emperor's suspicion.
But Hong Quan was even more surprised and curious about the relationship between the friends between Lu Heng and Wu Ningyuan in his heart.
Wu Ningyuan cleaned up the smile on his face, picked up the teacup and glanced at Hong Quan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hong, do you know who is responsible for the recent incident in Jiangning, the fall of the Su family and the destruction of the Liu family?" ”
Hong Quan was also shocked when he heard that the prince talked about it. Vigilantly glanced around, and found that the bamboo forest was densely guarded and heavily defended. Only then did he slow down a little in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I heard that this is the handiwork of today's Zuo Servant Shot, An Peng!" ”
Wu Ning glanced at him from afar, but shook his head and said: "You only know one and don't know the other, that's right, Su Guangyi died mysteriously, and Liufu was wiped out overnight." It was indeed done by An Peng. It's just that, do you know that from the beginning of the planning, to the later layout, to the later anger of His Majesty in the capital, to the current Jiangning situation. Who's behind all this? ”
To be honest, Hong Quan really didn't expect that there were still people behind the scenes in this matter. Moreover, look at the expression of Lord Ning. This person should know Wang Ye Ning. Hong Quan thought about it, but he never thought of who this person was. In the end, he had to hug his fists and said: "The lower officials don't know, please make it clear to the prince!" ”
Wu Ningyuan glanced at him lightly, pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Sit down and talk, between you and me, don't be so polite!" ”
Hong Fatzi shook his head with a smile and said, "The lower officials don't dare!" ”
"Sit down, sit, so ink! You're so fat, standing here, even the sun is blocked. The old man is very cold! Wu Ningyuan kicked his eyes and scolded angrily.
Well, Fat Hong raised his head and looked, and sure enough, Lord Ning was sitting in the shade of this large area under his block at this time. An embarrassed smile appeared on the chubby face, so he had to lift his robe and sit down.
However, although it is seated. But there are still some grievances in my heart.
Can't you be gentle with me! It's like just treating Lu Gongzi!
Hong Quan secretly raised his head and glanced at Wu Ningyuan with resentment in his eyes.
