Stepping out of the palace gate with heavy steps, Rong Lu's mind was still circling Xingzhen's words, just because he didn't tell her about Xiao Yungui's whereabouts at the beginning, and now he is doing this to himself? What is she in her mind? Is it a spare tire that comes when it comes and goes when it is lingering? I have done so many things for her, and for her, I did not hesitate to carefully arrange and let Xianfeng go to see Hades early! For her sake, he did not hesitate to deal with Su Shun, and finally helped her eradicate Su Shun's party! For her, she didn't take off her clothes and armor and fought viciously with the Twist Army and the Taiping Army in Huaishang! Now that the war situation has just stabilized, she has been recalling herself by edict, and she has seized her military power without asking for any reason, and sure enough, women are fickle!

Outside the noon gate, the eighteen pro-army guards he brought back were waiting here, Rong Lu ignored them, walked straight to his mount, the big green horse, turned over on the horse, and galloped away. The guards did not know what to do, so they hurriedly jumped on their horses and chased them all the way.

Rong Lu Fei rode out of the four nine cities, galloped for more than ten miles before slowly stopping, after galloping all the way, the heart expressed a lot of depression, Rong Lu looked up but found that he ran to the foot of Xiangshan, at this time it was already autumn, Xiangshan full of red leaves in front of him, just like Rong Lu saw the bloody scene in Huaishang. He defeated 80,000 Beishang Twist Army in Shouzhou, and then captured more than 30,000 Twist Army prisoners, and then massacre them in Shouzhou.

Rong Lu and Miao Peilin, the leader of the Shouzhou regimental training, set up a bureau together, and the 30,000 prisoners of the Twist Army were concentrated in the regimental training camp outside Shouzhou City, and there was a row of houses on one side, Rong Lu asked Miao Peilin to go out to sue these prisoners. In groups of fifty, they went into the house in turn to get severance pay and then let them go home. The prisoners happily lined up to enter the house, but they did not know that behind the house, the Qing army had dug a huge deep pit. The captives who entered the house were killed one by one by the Qing soldiers who were ambushed in the house, and then all of them were thrown into a deep pit and buried.

At that time, Rong Lu was standing on the edge of the pit, silently watching the bloody corpses being thrown into the pit, his eyes were full of shocking red, and those who were killed were all gnashing their teeth, for which Rong Lu had nightmares for several nights! But he does not regret it, these people can't be put. After it is released, it is a great hidden danger, and this is also a big thing he did for Xingzhen!

For her, Rong Lu can do anything! But why is that all you end up getting? He was not reconciled! Rong Lu clenched his fists. Why did she lose her hard-earned military power in a word? Why did her brother for many years betray her with a word? Why does she have to call and go when she says a word? Just because she has a lot of power now! Her power is now enormous, and the power in his hands is incomparable!

What if you are the one who holds the power? Rong Lu's heart jumped, for a long time he came to the top to better help Xingzhen. I never thought that my power would surpass that of Xingzhen. Because he always regards Xingzhen as his own person. Thinking about it at the moment, only if she really holds the unshakable power can she really succumb!

Looking at the red leaves all over the mountain, Rong Lu said to himself: "You can take what I have now, but you can't take what I will win for myself in the future!" I want you to really be by my side and not leave, and Xiao Yungui I will let him go to see his God! ”

When the eighteen pro-army guards chased Rong Lu, he had already rode his horse and slowly walked back, and the leading Goshha was called Guide. It was the cloth slave of the Ronglu Su Wan Guerjia clan, and at that moment he stepped forward and dismounted and said a thousand words: "Master." What's wrong with you? ”

Rong Lu had already figured out this section, and laughed and said: "The master is fine, the queen mother has taken away the master's military power, that's all, everyone go back to the house to eat and drink!" ”

After saying that, Rong Lu drove the horse unhurriedly, and Guide and the other guards looked at each other, thinking that the master had suffered such a big change and lost his heart and went crazy? Can you still laugh at this moment? Still thinking about eating and drinking?

When the group returned to the house, it was already evening, the front hall of the house put out the incense case, Li Lianying sat in the lobby steadily, Zeng Jijing and other female relatives and housekeepers, directors and others were as anxious as ants on the hot kang head, it turned out that Rong Lu left the palace with his front feet, Xingzhen prepared a will to send it, and Li Lianying came to deliver the will.

Rong Lu returned to the capital and did not go home but went directly to the palace, Zeng Jijing didn't know that Rong Lu was back, and he didn't know that Li Lianying came to pass the decree, Zeng Jijing arranged the incense case, but the main owner was not there, Li Lianying had to wait, Zeng Jijing sent several groups of people out to find it, but no one would have thought that this master went to Xiangshan.

Rong Lu didn't change his court clothes, and he didn't have to change his clothes to kneel down in the hall to listen to the order, Li Lianying knew that this master was the queen mother's henchman, although she didn't know why she was taken off this time, but maybe one day she would make a comeback, so she didn't embarrass Rong Lu, spread out the yellow silk holy decree and read it.

Zeng Jijing knelt behind Rong Lu, and after only half of listening, he couldn't help but collapse on the ground. Rong Lu glanced back at Zeng Jijing, waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to hold Zeng Jijing, and it was easy to wait for the will to be read before letting the maid help him down.

Xingzhen found a good excuse for deposing him, killed 30,000 bandits in the Battle of Shouzhou, read the merits of Pingsu, deprived of official positions, and confined them at home to watch the aftermath. Xingzhen kept his title and didn't let him go to jail, but what does it mean to be confined at home? Are you still afraid that you will go out and cause trouble again?

Rong Lu smiled faintly and calmly shouted long live, and then took over the Yellow Silk Holy Decree. Although Li Lianying, the eunuch, is still young, his performance kung fu is also extremely sophisticated, and he said with a sad face: "Lord Rong, if you are not a slave, you will be offended, and the emperor's order will be difficult to disobey." ”

Rong Lu smiled and said, "My father-in-law will do his own errands." Li Lianying said that she was offended, so she ordered the imperial guards behind her to step forward and take away Rong Lu's crown and official uniform, and said a few words of relief before leaving.

The so-called confinement at home is not to let Rong Lu go out, Shang Yu came to the reserve more than ten guards to guard the gate of Rong Lu's mansion in shifts, although Li Lianying left, but the group of guards stayed. Rong Lu was not angry, but let his pro-army guards accompany a few guards to drink, and he confessed his guilt, only saying that the insiders were not feeling well and wanted to visit, and the guards naturally didn't expect Rong Lu to be so polite, of course, they also apologized repeatedly.

Back in the inner bedroom. Zeng Jijing had already woken up and was leaning on the bedrail to weep secretly. After Rong Lu sat on the edge of the bed and waved away the next person, he comforted: "People have three declines and six prosperity. It's just that I don't have an official position, didn't the Queen Mother keep my title? ”

Zeng Jijing wept and said: "The concubine is just not worth it for the master, how can it be your idea to kill such a big thing as 30,000 prisoners?" It's too unfair for the court to hit you all with a board. ”

Rong Lu said lightly: "This matter is really my own idea, Yuan Jiasan and Li Hongzhang both persuaded me to kill the ominous." ”

Zeng Jijing sighed, looking at Rong Lu with some horror, and Rong Lu gently stroked her jade forehead. He said softly: "The reason why the bandits are inexhaustible is to repeat them, and in order not to repeat them, I gave this order." ”

Zeng Jijing said in a daze: "Master." Is this against the peace of heaven? ”

Rong Lu smiled slightly, and the smile was still so charming: "Rebels deserve to die, don't they?" If they don't rebel, where is the need for the court to quell the chaos? A qiē is their number of lives. It's also self-inflicted. Even if my father-in-law knows, he will give me a thumbs up. ”

Zeng Jijing said with a bitter face: "But now that there is no errand, and the master is trapped in the mansion again, how can this be good." ”

Rong Lu gently hugged Zeng Jijing and said with a smile: "This is not right, Taoguang is obscure, I will accompany you more time, since you got married, I haven't been with you well." ”

Zeng Jijing's heart warmed. Leaning on Rong Lu's chest and said, "Master, you are so good." I just wronged you. ”

Rong Lu said with a smile: "While we have the time to do it at this moment, let's give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, how about it?" Zeng Jijing's face was as light as a mosquito, and Rong Lu leaned over and pressed it, which was the scene of spring in the room.

Since then, Rong Lu has stayed in the house every day, accompanying Zeng Jijing to read books and play the piano, enjoy flowers and have fun, and be happy. This tranquility was not broken until the thirteenth day, when the butler, who had gone out to buy food, returned and brought in a man. The guards guarding the door did not suspect this person who delivered the food, they were treated very well by Rong Lu these days.

After the visitor arrived in the house, he went around the kitchen in the back hall and followed the housekeeper directly to Ronglu's study, and the housekeeper Jinglu stepped forward and said, "Master, this gentleman is the person who came to make an appointment after receiving your letter." ”

Rong Lu snorted, waved his hand to let the butler retreat, and then looked at the person in front of him: "You were sent by the consul of Ali Kingdom?" Why so fast? ”

The man smiled faintly and stepped forward and saluted: "I am in Dagukou, and it is not very far to come to the capital." In Xia Gong Cheng, I saw Lord Rong. ”

Rong Lu frowned slightly, and asked, "Gong Cheng?" Could Ling Zun be Gong Zizhen? ”

Gong Cheng was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Is the villain so famous?" Lord Rong even only told his father's name. ”

Rong Lu snorted, thinking that I naturally know you! It turned out that this Gong Cheng was the son of Gong Zizhen, a literary celebrity in the Daoguang period, Gong Zizhen encountered the lilac case, the case was tortuous and bizarre, Gong Zizhen was not only dismissed because of this case, but also rumored to have been assassinated by the dignitaries of the capital.

Gong Cheng is a dissolute person, but he has a withdrawn personality, few words, good for evil travel, likes to collect ancient books, looks at everything in the collection, and is knowledgeable, and this person is proficient in Mongolian, Manchu, and even English and other languages, and is very talented. Although this man was talented and learned, he behaved badly, became a good woman, and scattered his family wealth for the sake of women, and then went to Shanghai, where he served as a staff member under Wittoma, then the British vice consul in Shanghai.

Rong Lu remembered that this person was only rumored to be a big traitor, and the reason was that he had been serving in the British and French coalition army in later history, and finally even led the robbers to rob the Old Summer Palace. However, Rong Lu doesn't think that this matter has anything to do with Gong Cheng, what is the Old Summer Palace? In the royal land, there is a sea of people who know the location, why must it be the road led by Gong Cheng? As for Gong Cheng, there may be only two charges against him, one is that he has been doing things for the British, and the other is that he misbehaves and has a bad reputation, so he bears this charge.

Rong Lu smiled faintly and said: "Gong Cheng and Gong Banlun's reputation is still somewhat famous in Shanghai. Okay, I'm not a good person, let's get down to business, what does Mr. Ali Guo mean to me? ”

Gong Cheng smiled slightly and said, "The British prefer to get something without bloodshed, but Mr. Ali Guo attaches great importance to your construction, but he wants to know why you want to betray your country?" (To be continued......)
