Chapter Eighty-Five: Hostages

"Yes, still in the palace. Now the palace is drafting a decree, saying that the young lady will recognize Queen Fang as the queen mother. The previous record of the Zongren Mansion was that the young lady was a princess with a different surname, the eldest princess of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and Princess Changping, who was not hereditary but had a concubine, and her husband would have the identity of a concubine in the future. Zhu Houxi said that since she is a princess, she can't let go of the folk free-range, even if it's the Lu family, and said that she wanted to stay in the palace, so she found a concubine for the young lady. The decree is being drafted, and it is estimated that it will be delivered within an hour. Lord, look," Wei He said.

Lu Bing took a deep breath, pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to send people to monitor, and quietly arrange forces around the capital." Also, call Xu Yang to me. ”

"Yes!" Wei He understood what Lu Bing meant, and withdrew with his fists.

Ji Lianhong was dumbfounded, and after Wei He left, he said, "What does Zhu Houxi mean?" House arrest? ”

"Hmph, it's not house arrest, it's just a hostage." Lu Bing tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said, obviously he was a little upset: "Hmph, it seems that I still underestimated Zhu Houxi, and his political and sensitive Cheng and military premonitions are no worse than mine." ”

"What do you mean?" Ji Lianhong said, Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "It's just an idea, it's probably Zhu Houxi who discovered my idea, or maybe I thought too much." Don't mention this, I have to look at the specific holy decree for a while, and then tomorrow I will enter the palace to face the saint and ask Zhu Houxi what he thinks. If it's just a whim, it's okay, if you really want to keep Lu Yin in the palace, and you obviously say that you are a princess, but in fact she is a hostage, then we have to make another plan. Ay. It turns out that when you got married, it was still a plan to recognize Lu Yin as your goddaughter. Hmph, it's been many years. It's really enough to lie down and taste the courage to be patient and hibernating. If that's the case, I'll think it's easier then. ”

"If you want me to say what is love, I went directly to the palace to snatch the child back, who can stop me? Then our family went back to Shandong and jointly sent troops to destroy this emperor's child. No, I killed the child when I entered the palace to snatch him. Ji Lianhong roared in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it goes out of someone's mouth. That's the end of it. "Lu Bing's so-called other person is Neuer, Neuer is very cunning and vicious, if Ji Lianhong is talking nonsense. I'm afraid that something bad will happen and someone will use it as a gun. Neuer has too many scheming people to believe it.

Lu Bing pondered for a moment and said, "Old Ji, remember, it's not a last resort. Don't kill Zhu Houxi. I know you're disobedient by nature, but if you kill him without my permission, don't blame me for turning his face. Did you hear me, I'm not kidding, he's my brother. ”

Ji Lianhong snorted coldly: "I know, until now, you still treat him as a brother, it's really sick." ”

In fact, Lu Bing is not benevolent now, and he wants to open up to Zhu Houxi. Zhu Houxi's actions over the years have moved Lu Bing. But most of them still made Lu Bing feel cold. But Lu Bing said this now, he can't bear to worry about the people of the world, the emperor is dead, the Ming Dynasty will attack the land, no matter who is the emperor, it is inevitable to avenge the emperor, not to mention that even if there is no emperor, the official manufacturing of the Ming Dynasty can still carry out national government affairs, set up a new emperor, and even foreign wars are not impossible, isn't this how Zhu Houxi was erected. Therefore, once Zhu Houxi is killed, this battle will be unavoidable, as soon as the war starts, the people are afraid that they will be ruined, and the court is chaotic and fighting for power, and between the cracks, Bai Yu and other villains will take the opportunity to benefit, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses.

Ji Lianhong pursed his lips and said, "You just have too soft a heart, okay, I listen to you, what do you say I should do?" ”

"You go and call Duan Qingfeng Mengxueqing and my second brother first, and call Yi'er over too, go quickly." Lu Bingdao.

"Okay."

When Ji Lianhong came back with Meng Xueqing and the others, Xu Yang was already in the house, Lu Bingzheng was whispering to him, and Xu Yang kept nodding. Lu Bing said: "Lao Ji, go and send Xu Yang out of the city." ”

"Give me the token, it's a little bit close." Ji Lian Hongdao.

Lu Bing said: "Do you need to use the token? Holding Xu Yang to climb the city wall, he must not disturb the defenders. Xu Yang, have you heard the secret contact point? ”

"My subordinates heard me clearly." Xu Yangdao.

"Out of the city and on horseback, non-stop back to Shandong. All you have to do is go back, and we're half safe. Lu Bingdao, Xu Yang nodded and hugged his fist at Ji Lianhong and said, "Ji Ye is tired." ”

"It's okay, damn me, I'm a mule and a horse, and I have to carry people." Ji Lianhong said and went out with Xu Yang.

Meng Xueqing asked: "Master, what's wrong, what happened, you will be like a great enemy." ”

Lu Bing told Zhu Houxi about Lu Yin's detention, and Xia Dade was furious. Lu Bing said: "Second brother, don't be angry, now for the safety of your family, you must go back to the northwest as much as possible, it is far away from Xiliang, so you go back to Shandong with Xueqing, and then I will send people to escort you back." ”

"What? Am I going to go too, but what about the Feiyan? Will they go or not? Meng Xueqing asked.

Lu Bing nodded: "After receiving the holy decree in a while, I will thank you, and then I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to face the saint, and I will leave Lu Yin and I in the capital, and the rest will be cleaned together." Hey, I thought of Zhu Houxi's audacity, but I didn't expect him to be so frenzied and bold, it's really unpredictable. Xueqing, Shandong still needs you to preside over the overall situation, or the same sentence, the sooner you go back, the safer I will be. ”

"What exactly?" Duan Qingfeng said: "First of all, I don't worry about you, I want to protect you in the capital." ”

"No need, there are Wei He's spies in the capital to escort me, I have already arranged it, it is not so easy for ordinary people to harm me, unless Bai Yu and them come. But if Bai Yu comes, I can't beat it and can't run? Lu Bing laughed miserably: "The plan is like this, the soldiers will evacuate in two ways, so that the imperial eagle dog will make it more difficult to track." The breeze and snow are sunny all the way, you escort our family out of the city, and you need to pay more attention to the breeze along the way. Ji Lianhong will come back in a while, and I will also let him go with you. Hide it from Feiyan, find a reason to prevaricate in the past, and don't show anything abnormal when you receive the order for a while, Feiyan may not be able to figure it out so quickly. If we sue her. She was afraid that something bad would happen to her. Second brother, your family members are also in this group, but you are on the second road. Can? ”

"What do you mean, let Xiangyun and the child follow their younger siblings? What about us? Lure the eagle dog away as a suspect? Okay, so I can kill it. Xia Dade said.

Lu Bing shook his head: "I have already asked Wei He to arrange, tomorrow there will be eight groups of suspicious soldiers, plus our two teams of people, a total of ten groups, the imperial court wants to monitor us." We are all suspicious soldiers, and if we want to lure them away, we can only lead away the group of people who are staring at this team, so we can get him a dragon gate array to fish in troubled waters. Second brother, you are in charge of Xiliang. There must be no mistakes, once there is a problem, there is still the second sister-in-law and the young master, so I will separate you in order not to wipe out the whole army. Also following the second brother and your group is Lu Yi. Lu Yi took your uncle Lu Wei. Lu Wei is embarrassed to be useless if he doesn't do his job, once something goes wrong on my side, you don't have to worry, I mean once. In short, Lu Yi, you must carry the banner of the Lu family, and let you travel all the way for the best way and leave the Lu family's seeds. This matter is urgent, and this is already a relatively perfect strategy. ”

Lu Bing said this, which was equivalent to temporarily passing the position of the head of the Lu family to Lu Yi. But now that the time comes, no one will say anything about it. Lu Bingyou arranged some things. After a few words of explanation to Ji Lianhong, who had already rushed back, he ordered someone to pack his bags and prepare dry food and carriages.

This qiē was all done secretly, except for the few people who had a meeting just now, few people knew what Lu Fu was busy with. Yang Feiyan and Xiaorui Xiangyun and others didn't even know that the people were busy. After about half an hour, the holy decree arrived, and the whole family thanked her, Yang Feiyan really didn't think much about it, but was very happy, and was ecstatic for her daughter to have a bright future.

On the second day, before dawn, everyone was woken up in their sleep, and they were overwhelmed by their sleepy eyes. They got into the car that had been prepared, and the things around them were all in the Lufu in Beijing, and the car had already prepared dry food, silver and happy clothes, which were very complete. You can't lose it at home, and now money is really dispensable to the Lu family.

There was a trace of doubt in everyone's heart, but no one questioned it, because this was Lu Bing's order, and Lu Bing's order in this family was unquestionable. Yang Feiyan's heart suddenly felt uneasy and slowly rose, and asked others where Lu Yin had gone, but Meng Xueqing said that she had been taken away by Lu Yi and Xia Dade, Yang Feiyan was relieved, and sure enough, Xia Dade and Lu Yi were gone. The people of the Lu family have gone through a lot of winds and waves, so although they are in a hurry, they will never panic, and they believe in Lu Bing, there is no matter how uneven Lu Bing is in Daming, so even if the sky falls, there is nothing to worry about, Lu Bing will hold it.

Their trust was not blind, and the arrangements made by Lu Bing in a hurry were indeed in place. First of all, he did not send a large number of people out of the city, because even if he went out of the city in groups, he would be discovered, and the family and the mouth would be relatively slow. Anyway, if you want to be discovered, it is better to flee in a hurry last night than to go out during the day, at least you can send more people to do suspicious tactics, and Lang Lang Qiankun confuses the eyes of others, which can be regarded as dark under the lights.

The gate of the city's defense has just been opened, but the soldiers defending the city are not the slightest bit tired, not because they have received orders to stop certain people, but some people say that some people have come out to inspect today, and those who see the appearance of military discipline or dereliction of duty will be held accountable. Therefore, the low-level generals began to press down the task, saying that even if it was the king of heaven today, Lao Tzu would have to be investigated. And Dongchang also sent people to keep an eye on it, which made this news even more true.

It's just that what is a little confusing today is that Jinyiwei did not work together, and all of them stayed in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen for a meeting, and it was strictly forbidden to enter and exit. In the past, although Dongchang was favored by the emperor, it has always been more powerful than Jinyiwei, and only during the period when Lu Song and Lu Bing were co-managing Jinyi, there was a slight balance, but now it is clear that Lu Bing's Jinyiwei is better. On weekdays, if Dongchang acts, it must also be related to Jinyiwei, which is nothing more than a fight between two intelligence organizations. As a result, today's situation is different from the past, which makes many people with a keen sense of smell smell a trace of uneasy atmosphere in the capital, and the calm morning of the capital has become no longer calm, and people's hearts are surging.
