Guangyuan Mansion, the camp of the Rhino Horn Army.

"Zizhong, the baggage camp should have set off half an hour ago, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

Lu Dongqing opened the tent curtain, walked into the handsome tent, and said to the restless Qin Zizhong.

Qin Zizhong walked to Lu Dongqing's side with a gloomy face, took out a jade pendant and handed it to him, and then leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Lu Dongqing's face changed when he saw Yu Pei, but he returned to normal in an instant, and said to a few soldiers in the tent: "You go down first, no one is allowed to enter the tent without my orders!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers agreed, and rushed out and surrounded the tent.

"Who wants to see me, and can actually take out the Qinwang jade pendant?"

Lu Dongqing slowly walked to the back of the handsome case and sat down, and asked in a deep voice.

"Qinwang Yupei?"

Qin Zizhong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't seem to know what the jade pendant he handed over to Lu Dongqing was.

Lu Dongqing glanced at him, frowned, and said, "It seems that those people just asked you to hand over this thing to me, but they didn't tell you the origin of this jade pendant." ”

"Could it be that this jade pendant has a great origin?"

Qin Zizhong was puzzled.

Lu Dongqing nodded solemnly: "The name of this thing is Qinwang Yupei, which was given to Liu Zhen, the then Duke of Wu by Emperor Guangwu of the Great Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty. ”

"What?"

Qin Zizhong's face changed.

Lu Dongqing continued: "Yes, Liu Zhen is the ancestor of Liu Jinglong, the later founding emperor of Wu, that is, the ancestor of the royal family of our dynasty.

At that time, the general Huo Qijiao was in power, and the power of the Han royal family was lost, and he could be usurped by the dynasty at any time, so Emperor Guangwu secretly gave this thing to Wu Guogong, hoping that he could cooperate with the royal family to launch a coup d'état and regain power. ”

"Then did Wu Guogong agree?"

"Of course I agreed, it was this coup d'état that allowed my imperial family to grasp huge power, from a marginal military magnate to a family that could influence the political situation of the Han Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty fell apart, there was the later Great Wu."

Lu Dongqing rubbed the jade pendant and said in a low voice, his face was cloudy, as if he was hesitating about something.

Qin Zizhong groaned slightly, and exclaimed: "I understand, now that the prince has sprung up, and the royal power has fallen, isn't it exactly the same as back then, since those people can take out the jade pendant of King Qin, wouldn't it be ......?"

"That's right!"

Lu Dongqing said: "Those people can take out the Qinwang Yupei, they must be from the royal family, and they want Ben Jiang to do what Wu Guogong did back then!" ”

"This ......"

Qin Zizhong's mouth was wide open, speechless in surprise.

"Hahahaha, General Lu is really well-informed, and even knows the causes and consequences of Qin Wang Yupei clearly, but he has saved a lot of tongues."

At this moment, a sharp laugh suddenly came from outside the tent, and then the curtain of the tent was opened, and two people dressed as small soldiers walked in.

These two people are old and young, the old one is about fifty years old, leopard eyes and sword eyebrows, the corners of the mouth are stubble, the young one is about thirty years old, with fine skin and tender meat, dark eyes, no Adam's apple around the neck, and they are clearly eunuchs.

And what surprised Lu Dongqing the most was that these two people were introverted, hidden, but very strong, and they were both first-class masters with outstanding skills.

"It's you!"

As soon as he saw the two, Qin Zizhong was immediately shocked, and it was these two people who asked him to hand over the Qinwang Yupei to Lu Dongqing.

They didn't know where they were hiding, but when they were in Xichuan, they found Qin Zizhong by chance, promised Chongli, and asked him to match them and introduce them to Lu Dongqing.

The conditions they gave were too tempting for Qin Zizhong to refuse.

Because they were worried that Lu Dongqing would not meet, they handed over Qinwang Yupei to Qin Zizhong, saying that he would find a suitable time to hand it over to Lu Dongqing, as long as Lu Dongqing saw this, he would agree to meet.

After the war was tense, Qin Zizhong was suspicious of these people, and he didn't find an opportunity until this moment, but he didn't expect that there were so many involvements behind it.

At the moment when the curtain was opened, Lu Dongqing glanced out, and saw more than a dozen pro-soldiers leaning on the tent as if they were asleep, but in fact, they had all been knocked unconscious, and the other party shot so quickly and silently, which was really amazing.

Lu Dongqing himself is a first-class master, and he was able to clean up more than a dozen soldiers in an instant without him noticing, and the martial arts of these two people must be above him.

After figuring out the benefits and disadvantages in an instant, Lu Dongqing's face did not change, but his heart was already like a great enemy.

Qin Zizhong also seemed to see some clues, and slowly stood beside the handsome case, slowly holding the handle of the knife with his right hand.

"General Lu moved the gas machine, and he seems to be very uneasy about the next two people."

The eunuch's voice was shrill and sharp, like a night owl, and the listener was very uncomfortable.

Lu Dongqing sneered: "Your Excellency trespassed on my rhino horn army camp, is it possible that the general will send someone to welcome me?" Besides, even if I am willing to send someone, will you dare to accept it? ”

"Hahahaha!"

The eunuch laughed again: "General Lu is so humorous. ”

As he spoke, the two of them walked to the chair at the head of the handsome desk and sat down by themselves, and slowly spoke: "General Lu doesn't have to be so vigilant, there is no malice in coming here today, but to send you a future." ”

Lu Dongqing's eyes froze when he heard this, and he sneered: "Future? If Ben didn't agree, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get out of this handsome account, right? ”

The eunuch gently patted the dust on his body, and did not speak, neither acknowledging nor denying it.

Lu Dongqing snorted coldly and said, "I'm sorry, I will never deal with a nameless person and send off a guest!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, Qin Zizhong immediately pulled out his waist knife, guarding against the attack that the two of them might launch at any time.

However, the two remained motionless, and did not break out as expected.

The white-faced eunuch chuckled, arched his hand towards Lu Dongqing and said: "The next two don't know General Lu's rules, but they are unreasonable, but we don't have a name, General Lu can call me Ah Da, and this one next to me is Ah Liu." ”

"Ah?"

Lu Dongqing's eyes turned, and he frowned: "You are the masters of Tianhai Pavilion?" ”

Ah Da was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "General Lu really has his hands and eyes to the sky, I didn't expect that even Tianhai Pavilion knows, yes, the two of us are the people of Tianhai Pavilion."

Tianhai Pavilion is a secret organization created by the first emperor, the scale is very small, but the members are all first-class masters, specializing in handling secret affairs for the emperors of previous dynasties.

More than ten years ago, the traitor King Wuling monopolized the power, and Tianhai Pavilion hid his traces under the order of the first emperor, and he could not come out of hibernation, in order to one day be summoned by the current saint, bring down the traitorous ministers, and return me to Dawu. ”

"In that case, you should also know that I am the commander of the rhino horn army, and I must be a close confidant of the prince, why did you come to me for this? It's not like you're tired of being alive and want to find a faster knife, right? ”

Lu Dongqing squinted his eyes and said.

"General Lu said with a smile, I just said below, I waited for thousands of miles to chase all the way from the capital to the north, of course, in order to give the general a great future."

Ah Da said with a smile.

Lu Dongqing leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Ben Jiang is a confidant of the prince, as long as he catches you, it will be a great achievement, why do you think Ben will betray the prince?"

Although the two of you have higher martial arts than me, but this place is my rhino horn army camp after all, as long as I yell, before you kill me, the army will continue to pour into the tent, unless you are a martial saint, it is difficult to fly with wings! ”

Ah Da didn't seem to be worried about Lu Dongqing's threat at all, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Although the general is a close confidant of the traitor king, he is not a descendant, you have always been excluded from the power core of the traitor king, right?"

If it weren't for this, with the general's ability and military exploits, you would be the commander of this battle, how could you hold back for three years to become the commander of the Rhino Horn Army, and now you are still under the leadership of a defeated army? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Dongqing's face suddenly turned pale, and the other party just poked at his sore spot.

Regardless of talent or merit, Lu Dongqing was the first person in the Southern Dynasties, but his road to advancement was extremely difficult.

In just two years, with the support of King Wuling, Zhong Qingyuan not only quickly got rid of the shadow of defeat and was promoted to the commander of the Black Flag Army, but now he also commanded all the Wuling pro-army and launched this raid.

If Lu Dongqing didn't mutter a little in his heart, it would be impossible, but he was sleek, and he knew that even if he felt unfair, it would only increase his troubles, so he pressed the grievances in his heart.

Seeing Lu Dongqing's reaction, Ah Da's smile became even stronger: "The general's talent does not lose to the traitorous king, but it's a pity that you are not a descendant, so you can only be subservient forever, all this can be changed from today onwards, as long as the general agrees to the conditions below." ”

Lu Dongqing remained motionless and did not answer, but anyone could see his hesitation.

Ah Da was not in a hurry, just waited for him with a smile, and seemed to be very confident in convincing Lu Dongqing.

"General......

Qin Zizhong hurriedly called him, but Lu Dongqing suddenly raised a palm and interrupted what he was about to say.

"Don't talk about detours, what kind of future are you going to give me?"

Lu Dongqing's gaze was like two sharp arrows, staring at Ah Da.

Ah Da seemed to be completely unaware, still looking confident, and slowly spoke.

"Now the Holy Lord has promised that after the deed is completed, you will be the new King of Wuling!"

"What?!"

This time, not only Qin Zizhong, but even Lu Dongqing had a pupil, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
