The eldest brother Lu Youze was mentioned at a family banquet, and Master Lu remembered that he hadn't seen this eldest son for a long time, so he asked Mrs. Lu: "Didn't Aze go to the capital to give a full moon gift to Xiyuan's child?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea, diluted the residual taste of dinner in her mouth, and then said lightly: "Aze sent a letter saying that there is a shortage in the capital and he can't come back for the time being." ”

Lu Youzhen and Su Xi knew the news early on, so they weren't surprised, but they just looked at Mrs. Lu with a calm face, which made people can't help but suspect that she actually knew about it a long time ago, and even she was involved in the plan.

When Master Lu heard about it for the first time, he jumped up from his chair in shock and shouted, "What? Staying in the capital? Doesn't he know what's going on in our family? Can't go to the capital to die? Call him back. ”

Mrs. Lu put down the cup in her hand heavily, and said with a calm face: "A little thing will make you scared and can't you do it?" Lu Kang, you don't want your son to huddle in Sifang City for the rest of his life like you. ”

"I ......" Master Lu snorted his lips and didn't know how to argue, and finally turned into a sentence "I just want my family to be safe."

Mrs. Lu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and left with a group of maids.

Back at Momei Courtyard, Su Xi couldn't wait to pull Lu Youzhen and said, "How do I feel that my mother and eldest brother are going to do something." ”

"Don't feel it, it's really doing something," Lu Youzhen sighed, and the eldest brother's actions didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Lu family.

"What's going on?" Su Xi hurriedly asked.

"The prince asked the emperor for the last position of the eighth rank in the forbidden army for his eldest brother, and now he can be regarded as the prince's party." Lu Youzhen said again: "Looking at the appearance of my mother today, I am afraid that she is also supportive." ”

He was a little worried that the Lu family would be involved in the battle for the heirs again, and they could still return to the capital and return to the ranks of the first-class families, and if they were defeated, they were afraid that even the Sifang City would not be able to accommodate them.

"The eldest brother is actually messing with the prince?" Su Xi thought of Situ Xiaojing's arrogant appearance, and it was really hard to imagine how a person like Lu Youze took a fancy to him?

"Stir? Xi'er is a wonderful word. Lu Youzhen smiled and praised.

Su Xi gave him a blank look, and thought for a long time in his arms before asking, "Then what are you going to do?" Going to the capital? Concubine Zhen and the second prince both let him go, and the current situation can't help Lu Youzhen stay out of the matter.

Lu Youzhen stroked her back and said: "When my mother was young, she was one of the best ladies in the capital, and her background, appearance, and talent were all behind other young ladies on several streets, but she was pointed out to her father by the emperor.

"If it weren't for the title of the prince of Ningguo, he wouldn't be able to marry such an excellent wife as his mother, but he wronged his mother......

“…… When something happened and she lived in Sifang City, her mother must have been extremely depressed in her heart, and her eldest brother ...... I'm afraid I'm not reconciled, and I don't be surprised by this one.

"I'm different from him, I don't have much ambition, I used to just want to find the murderer of my mother's relatives, and now I only want to be able to join hands with you until I grow old."

Su Xi listened to the last sentence, her eyes were shining, she raised her head and kissed Lu Youzhen's lips, she was the same as Lu Youzhen, she just wanted to live a loving life with him.

"Xi'er," Lu Youzhen called Su Xi emotionally, picked her up and walked to the inner room, but heard Xiangxue knocking on the door outside the door and saying that Lu Nian had something to do.

Lu Youzhen's face was ugly, and he asked Su Xi to push before reluctantly returning to the hall and calling Lu Nian in. As soon as Lu Nian entered the door, he could feel the sharp eye knife from Lu Youzhen, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"What's the matter at night?" Lu Youzhen gritted his teeth and asked.

Lu Nian can be regarded as reacting, he is eighty percent disturbing the master's good things, but he sneaks a look at the sky, it's not too late, it can only be that the master's bedtime is too early, but he doesn't dare to say.

Lu Nian hurriedly replied: "There is news from the capital, someone robbed the law field when Wu Chi's father and son were executed yesterday, Wu Chi was killed on the spot, but his son Wu Yongjun was rescued, and his subordinates were afraid that he would come back to report to his family, so he hurried to report it." ”

He was still quite smart, and he knew that he deliberately mentioned the safety of the Su family, and sure enough, seeing that Lu Youzhen didn't pay any more attention to him, he began to think about it with a solemn expression.

"Didn't the Wu family be sentenced to beheaded after the autumn? It's almost winter. Su Xi thought that the Wu family had already served his sentence, but he didn't think that it had not only dragged on until now, but also went wrong.

"Young Mrs. Hui, in the past few months, the court has been in a mess due to some things caused by the rebels, and the officials are fighting like black corns when they meet, and the criminal department still needs the approval of several cabinet elders before the execution of the prisoners who are beheaded, but how can the cabinet elders have this mind."

Lu Nian shook his head as he spoke, those people only know how to benefit themselves, and they don't care if others live or die, "Isn't this just pushed to the present, the rebel offensive is a little slowdown, and the court is a little calmer." ”

"Do you know who saved it?" Su Xi asked again, she thought of Situ Yelin for a moment, after all, Wu Chi was originally doing things for him, but Situ Yelin was recruiting Lu Youzhen, she didn't think he was like the kind of person who was two-faced.

Lu Nian said: "I haven't found it yet, but there are signs that it is probably related to the Companion Moon Sect." ”

Companion Moon Cult! Lu Youzhen was so angry when he heard these three words that he grinded his teeth. He asked, "What's the news about that Moon Companion Master?" ”

"It's all ambiguous news, the people of the Moon Sect are very cunning, they recruit civilians as cultists, and encourage these people to form rebel armies, while the real cultists only command in the shadows."

Lu Nian reported, "The dragon cavalry appeared once and then disappeared, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were all ordinary people recruited in this way, and the imperial court captured many prisoners, but they didn't inquire about the reality of the Companion Moon Sect at all. ”

This Companion Moon Sect is really a headache, the court arrested some flat-headed people, and as soon as their brains were hot, they followed the incident, it was too cruel to kill, and it was a waste of food to be locked up, and it couldn't be just released, the northwest camp was already crowded with prisoners.

"As for the Moon Companion Sect Master," Lu Nian said, "There is a rebel leader who said that they are under the command of a Moon Guardian of the Moon Sect, and the other day I saw that the Dharma Protector was very respectful of a young man, and I suspect that that young man is the mysterious Moon Moon Sect Master. ”

"Do you have any questions?"

"That's not true, the young man went in and out mysteriously, he didn't show his face in front of people, and the rebel leader only saw his back."

"Keep exploring!"

"Yes"

When Lu Nian retreated, Lu Youzhen sighed heavily, raised his head and closed his eyes, Su Xi held his hand and persuaded: "Don't be too sad, as long as he appears, there will always be clues, we can find him sooner or later." ”

Lu Youzhen nodded, and said, "I'll accompany you back to the Su family tomorrow, Wu Yongjun's escape must always let them know, take precautions, and you may not have been back for a long time." ”

"Well, okay," Su Xi said with a smile.
