Chapter 60: Sacrifice to Heaven Causes Trouble

"Well, that has nothing to do with me, I'm honest." Lu Zhongsi didn't have a sense of crisis at all, and pointed out that he was an honest and reliable little Langjun, "Ah Yu, what did you give from Dali Temple?" ”

After a few days, some clues were found.

"Lord Qin said that it was the two attendants of Changshui Wei who were gambling in the backyard of Dongshu and were discovered by Lord Lin Zhen, and the coercion and temptation were useless, so they panicked and were afraid that the bucket would be big, so they killed people and killed people to see money, because the eldest brother used to be a gambler and had been sorting out sundries in the East Academy for a long time, and he was the object of suspicion, so the matter of framing the blame has been convicted." Lu Yixuan bit her chopsticks, obviously she didn't believe this set of rhetoric at all, and casually pulled two little attendants to apologize, and she had seen a lot of these things.

"Look, look!" Lu Zhongsi banged on the table, he couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, he only knew that the case was clear and the truth was revealed, "There are many moths in this palace." "Now Lu Zhongsi seems to have become a righteous gentleman who looks down on gamblers.

Shameless.

Lu Wanyu was stunned: "You really kick your nose and face, short-sighted," she snorted, and simply put down her chopsticks and turned to Lu Yiyu, "Ah Yu, doing things for the East Palace, good or bad, good and bad, unpredictable blessings and misfortunes...... Otherwise, just excuse yourself and refuse it. Lu Wanyu can't think of any other way, she said that she doesn't want Ah Yu to be a high-ranking official above 10,000 people under one person, sometimes peace is a blessing, and plainness is a treasure.

"Well, how can I do that?" Lu Zhongsi jumped faster than Lu Yixuan, "Our Ah Xuan has superb martial arts skills and won the first place in the school martial arts meeting, this is to escort the first hand-picked person is not Ah Xuan, who else can it be, besides, how can this little Cong Liupin be worthy of the little sister, it is rare for His Royal Highness the Prince to know horses, if it is done well, the high-ranking official Houlu is at your fingertips." ”

When the time comes, who will not come to stammer, who will not come to praise, why bother to act according to the eyes of others, Lu Zhonghe's dumb loss in the East Academy this time is unspeakable.

Lu Wanyu "snapped" on the desk lightly, and scoffed at the idea of her eldest brother: "This Manchu Dynasty has a lot of civil and military affairs that have been experienced in a hundred battles, how can you allow Ah Yu to take the limelight," At that time, the spearhead may still be on his little sister, "If you are so capable, big brother, don't be next to Ah Yu, and participate in the title of the palace examination gold list by yourself, what university scholars, what auxiliary ministers, will not be a problem in the future." ”

Standing and talking without backache, putting your own bets and showing off on Lu Yixin alone, like words!

Lu Zhongsi puffed out his face and took care of the loss, so he cowered and had to stuff his head and not speak.

Lu Yixuan knew that Lu Wanyu thought about her from the bottom of her heart, and sighed and said with a wry smile: "Third sister, do you think I can disobey the emperor's order or the prince's will?" "Either one of them can lose their heads, and it will be a reason why you don't know what to do.

Some people open their mouths, and there is no reason to take it back.

Lu Wanyu didn't know that this sacrifice was a great celebration of the whole country, and there was no room for the Lu family to turn around.

So the gentle woman was always holding her hand and counting when the lotus flowers in the yard pool would show their sharp corners.

One day at a time, it is best, and then it is a little slower, but it can be slow, and the sacrifice will finally come as promised.

Lu Yixuan has been busy going in and out for a lot in the past half a month, and even she can't find anyone in the Wei State Mansion, in addition to the daily drills, she also has to work with Captain Jian to determine the protection plan and careful itinerary, although there are only three streets in the East Palace, but every step has to be extremely careful and extremely vigilant.

Lu Wanyu was both happy that Ah Yu was appreciated and reused, but also worried about the gloom suppressed in her heart, Zhang Lian naturally heard that the Lu family was protected by the East Palace, and the Duchess of Wei Guo burst into tears, and instructed Lu Wanyu day by day to take care of Ah Yu, the burden on Ah Yu's shoulders was much heavier than the little girl's face.

Lu Wanyu occasionally pretends to be relaxed and teases the little sister: "Ah Yu looks very calm and relaxed." "Xiaoxiao from the sixth grade, just out of such a little point, was selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the person who guarded the chariot at the Sacrifice to the Heavens, so big the mountain pressed overhead, but Lu Yixuan, there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

"No, I'm nervous, nervous." It was rare that the little girl lowered her voice and said weakly to Lu Wanyu.

Lu Wanyu smiled: "Who are you scaring with such a cold face?" "Don't talk about others, that is, Lu Wanyu's own family often wonders what Lu Yiyu's head is thinking, and she is always extremely calm and calm in front of others, and she looks like she is full of ambition and the sky is falling apart.

Therefore, Lu Yiyu was willing to say "words from the heart" to himself, which really made Lu Wanyu want to laugh secretly.

The night before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Lu Yixuan barely closed his eyes for a moment.

It wasn't until Captain Jian commanded the mighty Shenwuwei to stand on both sides of the column, and the carriage of the East Palace slowly rolled through the flat and wide streets of Shengjing City, that the cheers and excitement of the people could make Lu Yixuan feel how warm and warm the sun was shining on his body.

Donggong Mingchen is famous, but because he does not grow up in Shengjing, so it is rare to have a chance to let the people see the true face, now thousands of empty alleys, the city tower is impassable, cheers and cheers with Mingchen from time to time to open the carriage curtain and burst high, regardless of men, women and children are excited.

Lu Yixin didn't dare to slack off, all the escort Shenwu guards didn't dare, a pair of eyes in the sky and the ground, southeast and northwest, Captain Jian led the team around the corner with his head and a big horse in front, and he was about to go to the Forbidden Palace through this section of Tianfang Street, Lu Yixing rode on the side of the line, and the palm holding the reins was already sweaty, sticky and greasy, even the light armor of this body was stuffy and hot, and the nerves that were so tense that he didn't dare to move finally relaxed a little, and from afar, she saw the golden and towering towers of the Forbidden Palace.

Lu Yixuan exhaled softly, and suddenly, at the moment when Captain Jian's carriage turned the corner, his vision blocked the team moving forward, and a futile howl of wind in the air came straight to her door!

Lu Yixuan's heart was shocked, and he heard Jian Yiru's shout from the corner of the street: "Protect Your Highness—there are assassins!" ”

There were assassins.

The sound spread quickly and noisily, because the swords, guns, swords, and halberds suddenly exploded, and the cold wind from Lu Yi's door had already swept in, and she subconsciously pulled out the three-foot Qingfeng on her waist and raised her hand to split the anger, "Qiang", the sound of metal collision broke into two with fireworks.

It wasn't an ordinary wooden arrow, it was a barbed iron arrow!

Lu Yixuan's heart was terrified, he could use the bowstring to pull such a heavy arrow and break through a thousand pounds, what a killing intent? !

"Protect the prince!" She jumped off her horse and shouted, and before she could finish speaking, several iron arrows pierced the wheels of the carriage.

"Knock knock", right in the middle of the wooden wheel, the end of those arrows dragged a small chain rope, "crunch", because of the speed of the rapid flight and the force of pulling, the three chain ropes suddenly stretched straight and straight, before anyone could reflect the "click", the wheel on the side of the carriage actually called the three arrows unloaded!

Almost in an instant, the prince's car had already toppled down, Lu Yixin hurriedly put the long sword in his hand to the ground, jumped forward and used his body to resist the angle at which the carriage wanted to tilt, how heavy the body was, the broken wood marks were embedded in Lu Yixuan's shoulder, the girl gritted her teeth fiercely, she didn't have time to feel the pain of the flesh of her shoulder and scalp being pierced, there was only one thought in her mind-

If Xingyuan falls now, the prince will either die or be injured, and no one will want to live!

"Deputy Envoy Lu!" The people in the carriage obviously saw Lu Yixuan's shoulder dripping with blood, and she gritted her teeth and her face was flushed, and she couldn't support it for a moment longer.

"Your Highness, get out of the carriage!" Lu Yixuan suppressed his voice.

Ming Chen saw that the soldiers and horses in front of him hurriedly jumped out, raised his hand to help the little girl support the carriage so that she could get out, "Bah", the moment the two dodged, the line hit the ground and was dragged out three feet away, shaking into dust.

All of a sudden, people were in chaos and screaming.

The people who fled for their lives cried and shouted, the flying arrows pierced the skin, the flesh and blood flew sideways, the shouts and shouts of the gods and guards, and the black-clothed people on the eaves and pavilions took advantage of the chaos to jump into the field like a fish, and suddenly the fight became the main theme.

"Your Highness, please stand back, Shenwu Wei swears to protect your safety." Lu Yixuan held a long sword in front of Ming Chen, and the surrounding Shenwu guards stepped forward to fight with the assassins, swords and swords, no one could tell whether it was a comrade or a traitor who fell to the ground, and the blood splashing on the body could make people feel that their hands were cold and abnormal.

It was the first time that Ming Chen encountered himself being assassinated, but he was calm and calm, and even the fists in his sleeves were clenched fiercely, although he had palpitations, he would never flinch: "The royal capital of Dayan, in broad daylight, there are wicked people who dare to commit such a murder!" The man shouted angrily, no, he is not afraid, as the prince of the East Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty, he is the successor of Jiangshan Sheji, how can he be frightened by some rebellious ministers and thieves who only dare to put cold arrows behind their backs!

The chaotic scene in front of him was something Lu Yixuan had never expected, far away Captain Jian's shouting was hoarse, Shenwuwei's brigade was cut off and intercepted by the assassins from the middle, leaving the prince in the back of the horse team, all the people were slashing and killing almost red-eyed, shock and horror filled everyone's mind, and the blood carried by the blade was evil.

"Protect Your Highness, don't take half a step back, dare to fear the fighter, and kill without mercy!" Lu Yixuan shouted in a low voice, the black-clothed people on the group had already exchanged hands with Shenwuwei, Lu Yixuan's palms gradually became hot from cold, she swept forward, and the robe was dancing in the sunlight with the embroidery patterns of the golden carp mountains and rivers, like a dragon and a cold splash.

Blood stains were sprinkled with gold and silver armor, and the strength of the three-foot Qingfeng to cut down without the slightest hesitation.

Arms, shoulders, chest, or back - the blood stains of the man in black were all over the palms of his hands, Lu Yixuan felt that her arms were trembling, her left shoulder blade gradually lost consciousness because of the pain, and the little girl simply pulled off the embroidered lined robe with the hem of the robe and wrapped her hand and sword hilt together.

Soon, it also turned into a blood red.

Everyone was red-eyed.
