Lu Bing was announced to the palace again on the second day, and when he saw Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi's two eye circles were slightly dark, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and his face was very sallow. Not only that, but not only on the surface, but even mentally exhausted, as if he hadn't slept well for several nights in a row, his whole eyes were scattered, and he looked at Lu Bing in a distracted manner, and after the eunuch whispered several times beside him, Zhu Houxi reacted, and paused for a moment and was startled, and scolded the eunuch. Zhu Houxi's whole person fell into an anxious and extreme mood, but behind this emotion there was a hint of fear.

This is the end of a busy night, on the way to the palace, the eunuch of the celebrant told Lu Bing about the events of last night. Last night, after dark, it was quite calm, but this calm did not last long, and began to be chaotic, and more than a dozen places in the palace were on fire overnight, and the sound of shouting and walking away was endless.

Fortunately, the fire subsided, and there was another death among the Ouchi guards and the Imperial Forest Army, and the officials on duty died in the squad room, and their intestines were pulled out and hung on the door beam, but their heads were missing, and they couldn't find a place to go. The officials on duty in Jinyi Wei Ouchi, who were slightly more responsible for the most difficult kung fu, were also beheaded, and the heads of several dead people were placed at the door of the Qianqing Palace.

Needless to say, this must have been Jiang Bin's doing, and Jiang Bin's meaning is also very clear: That is my ability, I can set fires everywhere, and I can kill people everywhere, and I also put my head in front of the Qianqing Palace without knowing it, which tells you that Zhu Houxi's palace is like my own backyard, I can come when I want, and I can leave if I want. The well-guarded emperor who lives in the Qianqing Palace is also in my Jiang Bin's pocket. If you insist on going your own way again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, and it's a big deal to break up. I don't need your help, my family will be rescued by myself and then die, and whether you Zhu Houxi can survive, just think about it.

—————————————————————————————————————

"This is a naked threat and provocation!" Zhu Houxi shouted.

Lu Bing was silent, Zhu Houxi shouted for a while, and felt that no one responded to him, so he gave up, and naturally this kind of thing could not be kept by others. So Zhu Houxi dismissed the eunuch who was waiting, and stayed alone with Lu Bing again. In this way, Lu Bing did not speak. Only Zhu Houyu himself screamed, and Zhu Houyu also had some less audience and foil, and no one scolded him for shouting long live vassals, so he didn't work hard for a while. And he stopped.

"Why don't you speak. What do you mean by Jiang Bin? Zhu Houxi pointed to Lu Bing and asked, Lu Bing shrugged his shoulders and replied: "The minister is stupid, and he can only look at the surface of things, but according to the superficial meaning, it is estimated that Jiang Bin is saying that if His Majesty does not follow his wishes, then he will harm His Majesty, and there are many tricks, it is as easy as a finger." Therefore, please pay attention to Your Majesty. The ministers will pray for blessings day and night, hoping that God will bless the saints. May the Holy One be safe,"

Zhu Houyu snorted and scolded: "Why is it at this time, you still give me fucking cool words, I" Zhu Houyu stopped halfway through the words, and then paced back and forth in the main hall, and after a long time said: "You told Jiang Bin that I promised him, let him trade in person, I sent someone to hand over his wife and children to him, and he promised me in writing that he would not make trouble again, and he would not go back on his word and harm me again." I have to make a gentleman's agreement with him, otherwise I won't feel at ease. ”

Lu Bing smiled, not to mention Jiang Bin, an old fritter, even if he no longer believes in Zhu Houxi, he is indeed a person who goes back on his word, he has been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of the well rope, not to mention that it is a matter of life and death. It's ridiculous to say, but people who don't believe in their words have always expected others to keep their promises, how is this possible, others know that Zhu Houxi is not trustworthy, so naturally they won't even give him the opportunity to meet him.

Besides, what if Jiang Bin came, what if Zhu Houxi set up an ambush to ambush Jiang Bin? And according to Zhu Houxi's character, most of them will do this. Although Jiang Bin's ability to pass through the sky may be able to detect it in advance, but there is a case in everything, so Zhu Houxi must not believe it, and I believe that Jiang Bin will not do it if he gambles with his life.

Naturally, such reasons cannot be said through Lu Bing's mouth, and at this time and that time, Lu Bing has lost his status and qualification to say this. In the past, Zhu Houxi would bow his head and ponder, and even put Lu Bing's shoulder on the two to discuss, but now he can only stand on the throne and stand solemnly under His Royal Highness, not a brother but a monarch.

Based on the above reasons, Lu Bingcai will not build this bridge in the middle for Zhu Houxi, and when the time comes, Zhu Houxi will be treacherous and make himself feel ashamed in his heart, and it will not be enough trouble at that time. Therefore, when Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows and urged Lu Bing to speak quickly, Lu Bing said that Jiang Bin could not be found now, and Jiang Bin only left a letter and disappeared. If the minister can find Jiang Bin, he will definitely be captured and handed over to the emperor.

Zhu Houyu didn't believe these words, and even Lu Bing, who said these words, didn't believe it, but he was still a good friend if he didn't say it thoroughly, and Lu Bing didn't look at Zhu Houxi, and presented a handwritten letter from Jiang Bin with low eyebrows and drooping eyes.

The letter roughly means this, I, Jiang Bin, have learned from the pain, and know that what I have committed is a heinous crime, so I can only hide my name and dare not show my face in the world, even if the saint wants to find me, I have no face to meet the saint again, otherwise I will be sorry for the spirit of the first emperor in the sky. Jiang Bin: I understand the good intentions of the saints, and I know that I can't make trouble for the imperial court, so I won't trouble the imperial court for any name. As for my family, if I rescue myself, I will have to live a life of exile with me, not to mention that it violates the precepts of the imperial court, isn't it a mistake on top of a mistake? It is more appropriate for the family to be released by the saint, and after the family regains their freedom, they do not need to follow the guilty minister, who himself is a guilty body, a father in vain, a husband in vain, and is not worthy of calling others, so he only needs to be taken care of by Lu Bing. Moreover, in this way, it will not cause the suspicion of the courtiers, but also the settlement of the family. As a courtier, Jiang Bin didn't dare to threaten the saint, and only hoped that the saint would think twice.

"Insidious, cunning, and shameless." Zhu Houxi angrily tore up the letter, his heart really wanted Lu Bing to lure Jiang Bin out and ambush Jiang Bin while the transaction was in place. In order to get rid of the troubles, he also repaid the hatred in his heart. As for what Lu Bing thinks, what others think of him, will anyone come to Lu Bing to seek revenge or something. Zhu Houxi didn't care at all. In his opinion, Lu Bing is not irreplaceable now, he has no power in his hands as in the early years, and there is no one in his hands, how many people will follow him under a paper order now, where can he appear to be a little Lu Bing. However, Jiang Bin anticipated the enemy's opportunity and smashed Zhu Houxi's conspiracy, how could he make Zhu Houxi, who was consciously smart and complacent, not annoyed and ashamed.

Lu Bing said: "The saint is angry, what should the minister do next?"

"Isn't that knowingly asking?! I wrote an edict. And send someone to go with you, and be sure to bring Jiang Bin's young son's family to you, of course, only to those who were slaves in Guo Xun's mansion and Jiang Bin's immediate family. I can't recall them all. His henchmen have already been sent to the frontier, and it is time-consuming and laborious to find them, not to mention, and it is easy to cause trouble. If it is too wide, even I can't cover the truth of the year. So keep a low profile. What do you think of this? Zhu Houxi said, Lu Bing nodded and said, "Obey the holy will." ”

"In order not to make people suspicious, since Jiang Bin raised his family for you, then you have the right to accept Jiang Bin's son Jiang Ran as his righteous son, and let him change his name and surname, so that no one will remember it in a few years, so that it is the best strategy." Zhu Houxi said.

Seeing Lu Bing's face showing a hint of embarrassment, Zhu Houxi stepped up and said, "Lu Bing." In this matter, you must not only pay attention to personal gains and losses, but also pay attention to the image of the court and the prestige of me. As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, you should take into account the overall situation. That's it, and I'll pass on the decree when I get back. Zhu Houyu said, after speaking, he looked even more tired, he felt helpless again, in the face of Jiang Bin's threat, Zhu Houyu is helpless even if he is the king of a country, this sense of weakness rarely appears after Yang Tinghe stepped down, I didn't expect to revisit it again today, and only Zhu Houyu himself knows the taste.

Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing in front of him, and suddenly felt a burst of melancholy in his heart, Lu Bing was once his idol, his essay on martial arts, height and appearance, he was stronger than himself, and he was willing to compare with Lu Bing everywhere. Now he has become his own courtier, and he is alienated from himself. Zhu Houxi couldn't help but think wildly in his mind, if Lu Bing came to be the emperor, would he be afraid of compromise? Don't be afraid, Lu Bingning can't bend, even if he may not be able to beat Jiang Bin, or if the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, he will be in danger because of this, he will not back down He is still stronger than himself, still stronger than himself! Zhu Houxi clenched his fists, he hated this feeling, everything is not as good as others, he should be the first person in the world.

"Why don't you leave, is there anything else you need to tell you?" Zhu Houxi looked up and saw that Lu Bing hadn't left yet, and he didn't declare his retirement, so he said impatiently.

Lu Bingyan: "After the minister wants this matter to be stopped, he will resign from the opposition, travel all over the world and no longer enter the court as an official, and hope that His Majesty will give permission." ”

Zhu Houxi was stunned, he never thought that Lu Bing would resign, what did Lu Bing, who resigned, say, it means that he can't stand this kind of cold torture now, and it means that Lu Bing has lost! Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, he was very excited, and asked, "Have you thought about it?" To do the position of a servant for your age, it can already be said to be the envy of the world, and it is even more blessed, even if you don't rise or fall in this life, it's worth staying in this position, don't you think it's a pity to give up so much? ”

"Seriously, the minister is tired, tired, has no intention of being an official, and is not able to serve His Majesty, how can a useless person be a white-collar court, and the worry of the king is what a person should do, on the contrary, the minister can't worry about the emperor, so he can't eat this money. The matter of the minister's resignation was well thought out. As for whether I feel a pity, I think it's not a pity, the official position is not low, but this is all a gift from the saint, not my Lu Bing's own examination, it has fallen from the sky, and now even if it is lost, it will be lost, there is nothing to regret. I also hope that His Majesty will grant the request of the minister, and thank you. Lu Bing said with a deep bow, clenched his fists and turned his head over.

Zhu Houxi's words still couldn't hide the excitement: "It's right, when Guo Xun's matter is dealt with, you will go to the Ministry of Officials to cancel your registration, and I will allow you to resign." ”

Lu Bing did not retreat according to the rules after thanking him, but turned around and left calmly, facing the narrow-minded Zhu Houxi with the back of his wide spine.

Looking at the back of Lu Bing's departure, Zhu Houxi's heart suddenly turned from excitement to a burst of empty loss, he thought of the scene of the two people in the Xingwang Mansion calling each other brothers, thinking of the scene where Lu Bing made a plan when he first entered the capital, and thought of the voice of Brother Bing who called himself in front of the hundred officials. thought of the two brothers' panicked appearance in the face of the accident, and more thought of the scene of the two of them laughing and hooking their shoulders after the completion of the great work, and at the same time, the scene of Lu Bing being born dead and seriously injured after he saddled his horse also came into view.

Zhu Houxi's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, even he couldn't tell whether it was tears of joy or tears, there was a slight sour feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout: "Lu Bing, will you come back?" ”

Lu Bing's body trembled and stopped, he didn't follow the rules like recently, he turned around and saluted and spoke according to etiquette, but he said lightly in a voice that was not high or low, only enough for Zhu Houxi to hear: "Yes, when you need me." After speaking, Lu Bing left quickly, and never stopped to leave. (To be continued......)
