After sending Mrs. Chen away, Yan Yan had the intention to enter the palace to ask to see the emperor, but she knew that the emperor was worried about the war day and night these days, and her problems did not really help the emperor, so she dispelled this idea.

However, based on the TV series and something she watched in her previous life, she boldly speculated that this Zhou Lu was very likely to be a member of the Khitan royal family, or even a prince, only in this way could the Khitan ignore the life of this Yeluda, right? Because they found a better alternative.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan couldn't sit still.

If this Zhou Lu is really the prince of the Khitan, with his identity as a traverser, he must also know that the Great Zhou will join forces with the Jurchens to destroy the Khitan, and the Western Xia will be destroyed by the Mongols, then it is very likely that he will win over the Western Xia and Mongolia in advance to deal with the Jurchens and the Great Zhou, because at this time Mongolia has not yet sat on the throne and cannot compete with the Jurchens, and has not yet attacked the Western Xia.

If that's the case, does Da Zhou still have a chance of winning?

Who knew that just when Yan Yan couldn't decide what to do, it happened that Li Cong announced a good news in the court the next day, saying that he had received good news from the front, and Lu Duan took Lu Ming to recapture Baozhou.

Yan Yan heard the news from Mama Liu, who was sent by Mrs. Lu, saying that the emperor had sent someone to Lu's house to deliver a letter, and when the old lady heard it, she naturally remembered the dream that Yan Yu had a few days ago, and hurriedly forced Zhu to go to the temple to make a vow.

It is said that Mrs. Lu and the Zhu family have a much better attitude towards Yan Yu because of this, and praise her as a lucky general.

Yan Yan didn't care about Yan Yu, but she had doubts about Lu Duan and Lu Ming's ability to recapture Baozhou.

Exactly, what she wants to know is how the father and son managed to recapture Baozhou.

For this reason, after waking up that afternoon, Yan Yan settled Lu Jin, and still brought Qingyu into the palace, she was the emperor who asked to see her in the south study.

Li Cong was very happy to see her, and without waiting for Yan Yan to ask, he first said that he borrowed her light again, and when Yan Yan heard it, he guessed that Lu Duan should have told the gunpowder.

In other words, Lu Duan used the gunpowder offered by Yan Yan to take Baozhou back.

But Yan Yan knew that his heart was not easy after this, on the contrary, he was still a little worried.

Because if Zhou Lu is a traverser, Yan Yan's explosives can only be pediatric in the eyes of the other party, maybe the other party can make some nitroacid or TNT in the future.

Although Yan Yan studied science in high school, that bit of chemistry knowledge had already been returned to the teacher, so she would find a master of gunpowder to study explosives, and she never thought of doing it herself.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan no longer hesitated, and simply expressed his doubts about Zhou Lu's identity. Of course, Yan Yan refers to the other party's status as a prince, not as a traverser.

As for the evidence, the emperor can only try it from Yeluda.

Li Cong didn't believe Yan Yan's words at first, to be honest, if he didn't know Yan Yan too well, he would really think that Yan Yan was talking nonsense or even grandstanding.

Because if Yan Yan's assumption is true, it means that the Zhou family has become the sworn enemy of the imperial court and the Khitan meticulous work, in other words, the Zhou family has become a traitor and is going to be punished by the nine clans, how dare the Zhou family?

But after sending Yan Yan away, Li Cong sat on the kang and thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many strange things about this matter, so he ordered someone to call Li Ji here.

Li Ji is clear about the true identity of the Zhou family, this time when he went out, he talked with the head of the Zhou family alone for more than an hour with the true face of the prince, to be exact, this time when he went out, only in the Zhou family, he showed the true face of the prince.

As for who else he saw in the Zhou family, the prince couldn't remember for a while, but he said with certainty that when he talked with the head of the Zhou family, there was only one man in his fifties next to the head of the family, who was said to be the eldest son of the Zhou family and the next head of the family, but because the current head of the family was old, this long-term son took over most of the family affairs, so the current head of the family introduced him to the prince.

And after the conversation, Li Ji resumed his status as a guard, still following the fake prince, but he had also met a few Zhou family members, but he didn't have any impressive outstanding men around the age of twenty-four or five.

Li Cong heard this, muttered for a long time, and took Li Ji to see Yeluda.

Yeluda has been living in the palace these days, Li Cong was probably afraid of making the same mistake again, so he didn't let Yeluda live outside, but found an empty room in the palace, and dialed four bright guards and four secret guards to watch him, and he was also entertained with delicious food and drink.

When Li Cong's father and son arrived, Yeluda was playing the flute, and coincidentally, he was playing "Guan Shanyue" again, which was the song he had collaborated with Li Ji that day.

Seeing Li Cong's father and son, he did not immediately put down the flute in his hand, but put the flute down after blowing the whole song, and nodded slightly at Li Cong, "The two of you came together, there must be some good news?" ”

Li Cong was not annoyed, and sat down by himself, "What do you think it will be good news?" ”

Yeluda glanced at Li Cong, "If the Emperor of the Great Zhou can deign to come to see me in such a place, there must be some questions, let's talk about it and see if I can help you solve it." ”

"What a smart person, it's a pity, the strong have their own strong hands, I heard that you also have a brother who was raised by outsiders since he was a child, and received the education of our Han people since he was a child, so he knows more about scheming and scheming than you, so your father changed his mind and ordered him to be the crown prince?" Li Cong smiled faintly and said.

"What?" Yeluda was about to take a sip of tea from the teacup, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but use a force in her hand and directly crushed the teacup.

"Looks like you know about this?" Li Ji blurted out.

Yeluda glanced at Li Ji, "Impossible." ”

"What can't be? Are you saying that the prince is unlikely to take your crown prince or is it impossible for us to know about it? Li Cong took the conversation.

"There is no such person." Jerodah denied it.

"Yeluda, we have also gone through hardships together, I will treat you as a brother, I will treat you with good food and drink, I will wait for you Daliao to redeem you wholeheartedly, and I will think of forming an alliance with you to negotiate terms. That's it, even so, we won't force you anymore, you just wait here to die, we Da Zhou will not be able to afford an idler. Li Ji said as he walked to the piano table next to him, and plucked a few times at random, but it happened to be the song "Guan Shanyue" by Fang Cai.

"Brother?" The corners of Yeluda's mouth twitched at a hint of mockery, and then she looked at her surroundings, "Please don't tarnish the word brother." ”

"Brother, this is yours, I'm calling it to come and not be rude, you treated me like this first, I'm just giving back to him in the way of the other." Li Ji also smiled.

Li Cong got the answer he wanted and got up to leave.
