Chapter 63: Father's Arrangement?
"Your Majesty, General Lou Zhan asks to see you." The treacherous voice of the prince suddenly sounded in the imperial study, although the voice was deliberately lowered, it was enough to wake up the old emperor who was dozing off.
"Let him in."
The prince received the order, went out of the inner hall, and said to the people standing under the porch, "General, the emperor is invited." ”
At this time, Lou Zhan was dressed in the dust, walking on the mountain road for half a month, there was an obvious tired color between his eyebrows, his eyes were blue and black, and stubble appeared around his thin lips and cheeks. He hugged his fist slightly towards the prince, then strode into the inner room, walked in front of the dragon case, and saluted with his fist: "Chen Lou Zhan, meet the emperor." ”
"Hurry up, please." After a pause, the old emperor asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lou Zhan knew in his heart that the old emperor was asking about the whereabouts of the eldest princess.
"Wechen's vanguard encountered a wave of killers one hundred and fifty kilometers northwest of the country, and some people recognized them as coming from Drunken Moon Villa."
"Drunken Moon Villa?" The old emperor was puzzled, he had not heard of these forces in the rivers and lakes.
"Yes, it is the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the villa operates casinos and brothels that are profitable, and they also secretly cultivate killers, these killers are terrifying in the rivers and lakes, so this Drunken Moon Villa should not be underestimated." Lou Zhan told the truth.
"It's really bold, the forces of the rivers and lakes dare to intercept and kill officers and soldiers! It seems that they don't take me as an emperor seriously. Lou Zhan, in your opinion, what does Drunken Moon Villa have to do with the disappearance of Hongying? The old emperor was furious, and there seemed to be fire burning in his big eyes.
Lou Zhan's face was still calm, and he analyzed: "The minister believes that Drunken Moon Villa must be connected with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the disappearance of the eldest princess is inseparable from the remnants of the previous dynasty. Such a force in the rivers and lakes is bold and dares to confront the emperor, if there is no reliance, I am afraid that I will not have the ability to rob the eldest princess. ”
"Are you saying that the people behind the Drunken Moon Villa are the remnants of the previous dynasty?" The old emperor's anger subsided a little.
"Exactly, the minister feels that they are embarrassed and want to give the emperor and Da Yan a deterrent." Lou Zhan did not shy away from it and said bluntly.
"Humph!" The old emperor snorted heavily.
After a long time, when the old emperor calmed down his anger, he asked again: "How did you find out about the matter of the Taishi Mansion?" ”
Lou Zhan replied: "Back to the emperor, the Taishi is not unusual, everything is normal in the mansion." ”
"That's not necessarily, Lou Zhan, don't marry someone else's daughter, forget your duty. Look, those traitors have deceived me! The old emperor stared at him with majestic eyes.
Forced by the old emperor's forced gaze, Lou Zhan barely calmed down: "Weichen must find out the truth and give the emperor and Dayan a stability." ”
The old emperor said again: "That's it, you don't have to track down the whereabouts of Hongying, you just have to keep an eye on the Taishi Mansion." ”
Lou Zhan clenched his fists: "Weichen understands." ”
The old emperor waved his hand: "Go." ”
Out of the imperial study, Lou Zhan couldn't help but feel a little unspeakably heavy in his heart.
This time, although he led out the Drunken Moon Villa, the whereabouts of the eldest princess are still unknown, and if the delay is too long, it is estimated that Lin Guo will not have much patience. When the time comes, maybe Lin Guo will really call.
Of course, Emperor Lin is not a blind person, as long as Da Yan promises them some benefits, I believe they will not be insatiable.
The emperor asked him not to pursue it further, thinking that he should have to investigate it in person. There are secret guards around the emperor, these people are strong in martial arts, and in comparison, they should be able to track down the whereabouts of the eldest princess faster.
The emperor was assassinated in the Xishan enclosure, and Lou Zhan pondered about this matter for many days, but he still felt strange. Those people in the previous dynasty really had such great ability?
The eldest princess was taken captive, maybe there were many people on the other side, or maybe the other party used drugs, all of which can be said, but why can these people grasp the whereabouts of the emperor?
Either there was a traitor leaked inside Dayan, or they really had such a great ability, or the emperor deliberately leaked it, but what is it?
If it is said that there are traitors, it is worth considering in depth, and if it is said that they really have the ability to reach the sky, then this is a bit unreliable, and it is said that the emperor deliberately leaked it...... Who would believe it?
In short, Lou Zhan thought about it, and still suspected that there was a mole inside Dayan, and the most suspicious of this mole was Taishi. Of course, this is the instructions given to him by the old emperor, in fact, Taishi has always been normal, there is nothing abnormal, and he has not been in contact with abnormal people.
So, what about the other than the Taishi? Will there be anyone else who will secretly communicate with the remnants of the previous dynasty?
Is it a captain?
However, when the old lady faced those killers, he was very desperate, without the slightest softness, and on the way back, he tried many times, but the old man was not abnormal at all, and Lou Zhan also found that the old lady was often forgetful because of his age, and he thought that the old lady forgot to remind him at that time. After all, the old lady is an old minister by the emperor's side, and there is no reason to rebel.
Walked all the way, thought all the way, and after a while, Lou Zhan walked to the Taishi Mansion.
When the family at the door saw that their uncle was back, they hurriedly ran into the house, thinking that they had reported it.
Lou Zhan took the guards to the front hall, and the servants poured tea for him.
Bai Fengyi was the first to arrive in the front hall, and when he saw Lou Zhan's dust, he knew that he was tired, so he asked people to prepare hot water so that he could bathe and drive away his fatigue.
When Bai Yirong rushed to the front hall from the courtyard, Lou Zhan was already in the bath room.
So she had to go back to the courtyard, prepare clean clothes herself, send them to the bathroom, and wait outside.
After waiting for a while, Bai Yirong said: "Ying'er, you go in and ask, is there anything missing?" ”
Ying'er listened to her wife's words, went in, and after a while, came out with an angry expression, and said, "Madam, there are only two girls in it who wipe my uncle's back." ”
Bai Yirong was stunned, only then did she understand, looked at Ying'er's angry appearance, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, what are you angry about?" ”
Ying'er blurted out: "Those two new girls actually got a chance to get close to their uncle!" After speaking, she covered her mouth in shame and waved her hand hurriedly: "Madam, the slave maid didn't mean that, the slave maid said that the two little maids didn't take the lady too seriously, and approached the uncle in broad daylight...... I asked them who asked them to do the work, and they said they were masters. ”
Yirong frowned slightly, what is her father's intention in arranging this?
Ying'er immediately gave Yan'er a look, and Yan'er understood, so she instigated: "Madam, you and your uncle haven't seen each other for half a month, this should be regarded as Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, why don't you go in and take a look?" When she said this, her eyes were sinister.
Yirong's face instantly flew with a blush, and she said angrily: "What are you talking about!" ”
Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Madam, if you don't go in quickly, I don't know what method those two little maids are going to use to hook up with my uncle!" ”
