Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but pat Xiao Qi's forehead, funny and angry: "I didn't say that I wanted to use other people's children, right?" Xiao Qi, am I such a person in your eyes? ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "That's not it." ”

After speaking, he scratched his head, a little puzzled: "It's too dangerous for the prince to be a bait, but the master won't let other people's children, so what does the master plan?" Let's go ahead and prepare. ”

"Just pretend that you don't know anything, as for the guards in the mansion-" Lu Li touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Wait until I think about it and adjust it, and then I'll tell you what to do." ”

"You two go back to the suburbs first, you don't have to worry about things here, it's only right to take care of the things I raised. After all, the greenhouse has been destroyed, and they are likely to be the next target of those bandits. ”

Xiao Qi and the leader of the dark guard received their orders, and they didn't care about eating, so they left quickly in the night.

As for Lu Li, he planned again in the study before getting up and going to visit Xiaoman in the bedroom.

The doctor has left, and Jade has also been helped back to her own room, at this time only Xiaoman and a few little maids are left in the house, seeing Lu Li coming, the little maid is busy bending her knees and luggage, Lu Li waved her hand, exempting them from courtesy.

Xiao Man sat on the soft collapse, heard the movement of opening the door, raised her head early in the morning, and looked at Lu Li coming in, she hurriedly said, "Are you busy outside?" What did the leader of the Dark Guard hear before, and what were the bandits talking about? ”

She was very curious, and she wanted to rush directly to the study to discuss, but her feet hurt so much that she had to give up.

"It's okay, you take care of your injuries." Lu Li sat down, lowered his eyes and looked at Xiaoman's ankles left and right, sighed a little distressedly, and said, "Why is it so swollen, what did the doctor say?" ”

"Tell me first, what those bandits are plotting, and I'll tell you." Xiao Man smiled slyly and asked.

Seeing this, Lu Li smiled helplessly, put his warm palm in the other party's ankle, and gently rubbed the other party's wound, pretending to be angry: "The foot is swollen like this, and you still want to talk to me about the conditions, Su Xiaoman, don't you want this foot anymore?" ”

Xiao Man bit his lip, reached out to cover the other party's palm, and said, "I'm really fine, I just look badly injured." ”

As she spoke, she licked her lips and asked again, "What did you say in the study just now?" Can you tell me what those bandits are going to do? ”

Although this incident sounds terrifying, Xiao Man has seen a lot of scenes after all, and she still needs her help in this matter, so Lu Li didn't hide it anymore, but told the truth and the truth.

In the end, he comforted: "Don't worry, I will never let Wangshu suffer any more harm." ”

Now that they know about the bandits' intentions, he will do everything he can to never let the bandits succeed!

After hearing this, Xiao Man was startled at first, and then he couldn't care about the pain in his feet, and he was about to get up.

Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly supported the other party, frowned, and said, "What are you going to do?" Is it to make the injury on the foot more serious? ”

"What do you think I'm going to do?!" Xiao Man was in a hurry, even if she was completely hugged by Lu Li, she was still writhing unwillingly, trying to get out of the other party's arms, she said while struggling: "Those thieves still want to break into the house and rob people, how can I rest assured that Wangshu lives alone!" ”

Lu Li wanted to hug the other party tightly, but he was worried that he would accidentally touch Xiaoman's wound, so his hands moved a little helplessly, and said helplessly: "You don't have to worry about this, those bandits just made such a big fuss, and now the turmoil has not subsided, and they will not come again in a short time." ”

After saying this, Xiao Man finally stopped, she frowned and asked, "What you said is true?" How can you guarantee that those bandits won't come back? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go and strengthen the guards in the palace, and then find a way to reveal this matter to Hua Li or Li Lin, so that they can inform the king. At that time, the king will definitely help, so many people, can't they deal with a few thieves? Lu Li hooked his lips and said confidently.

Speaking of which, a decision he made in a hurry before could help so much later, Lu Li never expected it.

After listening to what Lu Li said, Xiao Man nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's fine, after all, only by killing those bandits in one nest can we avoid worries." ”

Although he didn't know who was behind those bandits, Xiao Man thought that as long as he could catch them this time, he would definitely be able to find out.

In Canglan China, who hates himself so much that he does not hesitate to cooperate with the bandits, but also ruin his own hard work? !

"It's not early, you rest early, I still have to go to the study to arrange the guards." As he spoke, Lu Li carried Xiao Man back to the bed, leaned over to look at the other party, and said softly: "Rest well, don't wait for me." ”

"Well, then you have to come back early to rest, don't stay up late."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Manmu sent Lu Li away, and pondered about the incident on the bed for a long time, before he couldn't stand the sleepiness and lay down to rest.

As for Lu Li, he was busy in the study for a long time, until he confirmed that there was no problem with the guards in the mansion, and then he found someone to report to Li Lin's mansion, so that the other party could prepare in advance and kill them while the thieves were moving.

The next day, Li Lin hurried to the palace early in the morning.

When he received the news of Lu Li last night, he was scared enough, for fear that the thief would really be fat enough to rob Lu Wangshu again, so he didn't sleep well all night, so he waited for dawn to go to the palace to inform the king of the matter.

When Li Lin arrived at the palace, the king was having dinner.

Looking at Li Lin's serious appearance, Wang Shang hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on outside?" ”

"Oh, your majesty." Li Lin sighed, helpless and angry, "I just received news last night, saying that the bandits on Liquan Mountain want to rob the county lord's child again, and this time they will be detained for a long time!" ”

Wang Shang frowned, "What the hell is going on, you can tell it clearly." ”

Talking about "bandits" and "detaining" or something without a head or a brain, the king didn't quite understand.

Li Lin sighed, then cleared his throat, first went through the whole thing in his mind, and then said: "Yesterday, the prince of Zhenguo and the county lord went to the outskirts of the mountain together, but unfortunately encountered a heavy fog in the mountain, so that the group was trapped in the mountain. ”

"At this time, they accidentally met the bandits of Liquan Mountain in the mountains, but fortunately, those bandits did not find them, and the county lord and his party accidentally overheard the conversation of the bandits, and heard that they were going to kidnap the county lord's son again."

Speaking of this, Li Lin looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he cautiously stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said the most critical point: "The thieves kidnapped the county lord's child not for money, but at the behest of others, and did it on purpose. ”

The king's face became more and more ugly, especially after listening to the last sentence, his face was already pale, and his voice contained great anger, and he asked, "Are you sure that all this is true?" Is that really what those bandits said? ”

There is such a nest of thieves outside the capital where the king is located, and the thieves have repeatedly challenged the authority, and they simply don't take themselves as the king in their eyes!

What's even more infuriating is that someone actually colluded with the bandits and intended to murder Su Xiaoman's family, although he didn't know the purpose of these individuals for the time being, but Wang Shangchai could guess that their murder of Su Xiaoman was inseparable from some of his own decisions! Just like Zha Liang and King Rong framed Su Xiaoman before, the people who colluded with the bandits must also be for some interests!

Thinking of this, the king was not in the mood to eat at all, he sat in his seat and pondered for a moment, then got up and shouted: "Withdraw all these meals, and go to the county lord's mansion in person!" ”

Before the eunuch could open his mouth, Li Lin took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, seeing that it is about to be the time of the upper court, if you go to the county lord's mansion now, is it a little ......?"

He wanted to say something inappropriate, but when he raised his eyes and looked at the king's face, Li Lin had to swallow the words that came to his lips and replaced them with: "Isn't it a little early?" ”

"What's not early?" The king was even more angry, "For such a big matter, even if you go in the middle of the night, the people from the county lord's mansion will never object!" Hurry up, go and prepare the carriage, and go to the county lord's mansion to find Lu Li in person! ”

If you let those bandits succeed this time, then what you, the king, will do is too sloppy and useless!

In this way, at the king's repeated insistence, the servants at the bottom hurriedly withdrew their meals and prepared the carriage, so that the king could rush to the county lord's mansion as soon as possible.

When the king arrived at the county lord's mansion, Xiao Man and the others were having breakfast, and after learning that the king had arrived at the door with Li Lin, she hurriedly put down the spoon, and then let Pearl help herself up, and went to the door with Lu Li to greet her.

On the way to the door, Lu Li explained: "The king must have also known about this matter, otherwise he would never have come so quickly and so early." ”

"Then it's a little too early!" Xiao Man whispered: "It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't the king be in the early dynasty?" Why are you here? ”

"I'll find out if I'll ask later."

As he spoke, the two of them had already carried Wangshu and a group of slaves to the gate of the county lord's mansion, and just as the king was also getting off the carriage, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him.

It can be seen that the king is indeed in a hurry, after all, the clothes he is wearing are still black and gold-rimmed, and at first glance they are the gorgeous clothes of the previous dynasty.

Xiaoman's feet were inconvenient, so she had to be supported and bent slightly, which made her stand out in the crowd, and the king saw her at a glance.

"County Lord, what's wrong?" Wang Shang frowned, "Injured?" ”
