Originally, at this hour, Li Qi was about to rest, and a servant reported that Xie Yaoguang was asking to see him outside the mansion, while wondering why Xie Yaoguang came at this time, he ordered the housekeeper to take people to the flower hall for a while, and then he arrived.

In the flower hall, Xie Yaoguang was sitting on a chair with a serious expression, holding tea in his hand but not wanting to drink it, holding Weng Gai and stirring up the foam on the tea.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, Xie Yaoguang raised his head and looked at the person who came and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, are you here?" ”

"Why did you think to come to me so late? But what happened? Li Qi waved his hand and motioned for Xie Yaoguang to sit down and speak in a gentle tone, "Are you cold here?" I'll have another smoker come over if needed. ”

"No need. King Li Bo Tho has disappeared, and I suspect that he took the opportunity to rebel. Xie Yaoguang declined Li Qi's kindness and said all his thoughts.

Hearing this, Li Qi frowned and looked at Xie Yaoguang, "Wasn't King Shou demoted to Qianzhou?" How did you suddenly disappear? ”

"I originally wanted to force King Shou to rebel." It seemed to remember something, Xie Yaoguang sighed, "I didn't expect that as soon as my letter was delivered to King Shou, he disappeared, and when I found him, I only had shoes and socks on the edge of the cliff, as well as clothes and his confession, which said that King Shou knew that he had no face to face His Majesty, so he had to apologize with death." So I suspect that King Shou originally wanted to escape from death to get rid of the fate of being degraded, and the letter I sent out accelerated his movements. ”

"You mean that King Shou left so easily this time because of other plans? Do you remember where Shouwang disappeared? Li Qi asked with a frown.

Hearing Li Qi ask himself like this, Xie Yaoguang handed over the Gazetteer in his hand, pointed to the place on it, and said: "Here, when I got the news, I accidentally found that this place is exactly the same as the place where King Shou disappeared. The book says that there is a riverbed at the bottom of the cliff, and when the tide rises, there is water flowing out of the mountain for a feasible boat, so I wondered if Shouwang had arranged everything at the bottom of the cliff. I've sent someone to find a way down to the bottom of the cliff to see if there's any other way out. ”

"When you say that, I think of it, this place is very close to the place where the Eternal King Ye Lan is. Do you think it's possible that King Shou plans to borrow the power of King Yong to send troops to the capital? After thinking about it for a while, Li Qi continued: "Although King Yong does not have many troops in his hands, I have heard people say that King Yong has been secretly recruiting troops and horses all these years, with bad intentions. However, because His Majesty has not been able to get evidence, he does not dare to rashly move the Yongwang. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang's eyes slipped a trace of coldness, she had heard people talk about King Yong, although King Yong had been a bystander in the battle between Emperor Li and Wu Wangke for the throne, but in fact, he secretly helped Emperor Li, which made Emperor Li fight so smoothly, and Wu Wangke also solicited a way out for himself. After ascending the throne, Emperor Li swept away a lot of forces that depended on Wu Wangke, including many royal relatives, but left only one Yongwangxuan, and even allowed him to stay in the fief without having to go to Beijing to see him.

Although these Yongwang Luan showed a very docile attitude and respected this brother very much, Emperor Li never let down his vigilance against Yongwang Luan, and sent many spies to keep an eye on Yongwang. I don't know what the reason is, I haven't found out anything after so many years, even if I send someone to investigate, I can't find any abnormalities. Over time, Emperor Li could only give up this and continue to favor King Yong to bet on the mouths of other people in the clan.

"King Shou wants to borrow the power of King Yong to achieve his goal, and he must have reached some agreement with King Yong. Why does he want to share the world with King Yong's uncle and nephew? Xie Yaoguang hooked the corners of his lips and smiled.

"King Yong is not so calculating, King Shou wants to calculate him, but I'm afraid it's not so easy." Li Qi opened the map on the gazetteer and said: "It will take three days from the back cover of King Yong to the capital at the earliest, and if King Shou is ready, I am afraid that he is already on the road at this time." Although there is a garrison in Gyeonggi, it may not be the opponent of King Yong, have you informed King Jin? ”

Looking at the location marked on the map, Xie Yaoguang sighed, "Not for the time being." At this time, he may not be in time to come back, not to mention that I can't predict what King Shou will plan next. So I'm going to see what Shouwang wants to do before making a decision. ”

"I'll find out for you how to defend all over Beijing. In the affairs of the court, I suggest that you go to Lu Lingshan and ask him to keep an eye on the court situation for you for the time being, once the news of King Shou's rebellion reaches the capital, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. After handing the Kuodizhi in his hand to Xie Yaoguang, Li Qi said in a deep voice: "King Jin is not in the capital, you have to be more careful about many things. ”

When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang got up and bowed his knees, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will take care of myself." It's not too early to delay your rest, and I still have to go to Master Lu and ask him to stabilize the overall situation. ”

"It's so late, why don't you go tomorrow morning?" Seeing that she was leaving, Li Qi got up to see her off.

"Let Master Lu know earlier that we can also prepare earlier. It's impossible for King Shou's people to break into the palace with great fanfare, forcing the palace to usurp the throne, right? Xie Yaoguang pursed his lips and chuckled, "It's not too early, Uncle Li, let's rest early." There's a lot more to do for me. ”

Seeing her say this, Li Qi could only nod and watch Xie Yaoguang leave.

Xie Yaoguang sat in the carriage for a long time. With a tired look on her face, she leaned on the soft pillow and said nothing, it had been a whole two hours since she ran around like this, and if she went to find Lu Lingshan again, she was afraid that it would be almost daylight.

Seeing Xie Yaoguang's tired face, Suzaku on the side sighed: "Miss, Yi Nu maid, it's better for you to go back and rest early, and wait for tomorrow morning to go back to find Master Lu." If you run around like this, you can't stand it even if you are beaten with iron, not to mention that the third prince instructed us to keep an eye on you and urge you to rest before leaving. ”

"How can I rest? Once I have rested, who will do the other things? King Shou is a scheming person and there is a Jiang Huaixin by his side, so he has sought the assistance of King Yong again. I'm afraid that if I am a little late, King Shou's soldiers and horses will already besiege the Jingshi....." Xie Yaoguang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's go at this time, I'm afraid that Taishi Lu has already rested, and tonight we will live in Lanxing Tower first." As soon as the morning dawned, I went to Lu Mansion to visit Master Lu. ”

Hearing these words, Suzaku gave a sigh of relief, and instructed the guards who drove the car to drive the carriage to Lanxing Tower. Now that the Lanxing Building is in charge of Bai Lu and Hua Luan respectively, Hua Luan heard that Xie Yaoguang was coming and hurriedly went out to greet him. Seeing Xie Yaoguang's pale face again, he hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare hot water for Xie Yaoguang to bathe.

After bathing, Xie Yaoguang cleaned up and lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Seeing him like this, Hua Luan silently asked Suzaku who was waiting on the side why he came back so late, Suzaku shook his head and told everything he had experienced. Xie Yaoguang, who was sleeping, didn't seem to be sleeping well, frowning from time to time, as if he had seen something in a dream that he shouldn't have seen.
