It was the first time that Lu Weigui had close contact with Ji Zeyu. The god-like figure who is as famous as Prince Zhongshun is already admirable, coupled with Ji Zeyu's extremely handsome appearance and cold and noble temperament, it makes people only feel a sense of admiration in their hearts, and there is no other emotion.

It was Lu Weigui who did not hide it, and respectfully explained the situation in the city, and said how Qin Yining resolved the crisis and made the people change their minds, and his face was full of admiration and respect.

Ji Zeyu nodded, and instead smiled at Qin Yining, "It's hard work." ”

Qin Yining said calmly: "It's not hard work. I heard Mu Gongzi say that you are outside the city, and I am really worried. Do you know why the Tatars came suddenly? ”

Ji Zeyu's expression stiffened for a moment, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said softly: "The Tatar soldiers and horses launched a war against the Great Zhou in an all-round way, Lu Heng united with the old forces and led the Tatar cavalry into the pass, and the commander of the Longxiang army was rebelled by Lu Heng and trapped in the Heavenly Wolf Pass by the Tatars, and more than half of the troops were lost. The Tatar soldiers and horses took advantage of this opportunity to drive straight in, and the cities they passed were on guard and occupied. ”

"What!"

Ji Zeyu's words made everyone present desperate.

For many years, the four passes of the Northern Heavenly Domain, the Heavenly Wolf, the Tianshu, and the Heavenly Gate are like four barriers, closely guarded by Ji Zeyu's Long Xiang Army.

But now, Ji Zeyu was stripped of military power by the saint and was idle at home, but the Long Xiang Army, which was originally the division of tigers and wolves, was handed over to a straw bag, and he was still a traitor who was plotted against him!

It's a pity for the men of the Long Xiang Army! It was all Ji Zeyu's hard work, and it was calculated by Lu Heng like this!

Although Qin Yining guessed that Lu Heng might be in league with Tatar, he didn't expect that he would sit directly to such a point. Bringing the Tatars to the land of the Great Zhou is completely luring wolves into the house! At present, he is using the Tatars against Li Qitian, but hasn't he thought about how he will expel the Tatars in the future?

Did he want the people of the Great Zhou to be enslaved by the Tatars?

Qin Yining clenched his teeth, and the roots of his teeth were itchy.

Lu Heng did such a thing, it was really a heinous crime! He was only for his own selfishness, and he didn't think about the life or death of the people at all!

"If so, wouldn't Huichuan become the current border between the Great Zhou and Tatar?" Lu Weigui's worried voice pulled Qin Yining's mind back.

Qin Yining also looked at Ji Zeyu.

Ji Zeyu nodded, holding the horsewhip that Xiao Xiao had given him, and motioned for everyone to go up to the city gatehouse.

"It's dangerous." Looking at the Tatar soldiers and horses gathered outside the city gate, Ji Zeyu's voice was still calm, "But although it is dangerous, it will not be in a desperate situation, I have just gone to Shusheng and asked for more troops, and it takes time to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country, I am afraid that I can't count on it, but in addition to the five army camps, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion, there are also tiger army in the nearest place." ”

Looking back at Qin Yining and Lu Weigui, the corners of Ji Zeyu's lips raised a slight arc, "The Tiger Ben Army brought out by the prince has a good chance of winning against the Tartars. ”

Qin Yining nodded and said trustingly: "Everyone believes in Dingguogong's ability. Fortunately, you are here, and if you are someone else, I am afraid that the Tatars have already come in. Not to mention that the people in the city are in danger, if Huichuan is broken, how to deal with the Tatar soldiers and horses attacking the capital. ”

At that time, Da Zhou will really die at the hands of the Tatars.

Lu Weigui and the others nodded in deep agreement, looking at Ji Zeyu with admiration and dependence.

Ji Zeyu thought for a while and said, "Why didn't you see Mu Gongzi?" ”

"Mu Gongzi went to the city to check Lu Heng's whereabouts. However, I guess Lu Heng has fled. ”

Ji Zeyu nodded and said, "Judging by the recent situation, he should indeed have escaped." Looking at Qin Yining and thinking about the situation in the capital, Ji Zeyu said: "This is already the place where the two armies are fighting, and the princess is a female dependent, so it is really not suitable to stay for a long time." You should take advantage of the fact that the situation is not critical now, and take someone back to the capital first. ”

Lu Weigui also nodded in agreement, "Yes, princess." Now that Huichuan has become a battlefield, you will only be in danger if you stay, so you might as well go back to Beijing. ”

Qin Yining was a little hesitant, she was not worried about the situation here, and she also wanted to make a contribution.

But she knows better that she is in danger, and she has to trouble others to protect her when she stays in danger. Now the wisest thing for her to do is not to drag Ji Zeyu back.

Qin Yining nodded, "What the two of you said is reasonable, so let's do it like this." When I'm ready, I'll set off. ”

Ji Zeyu nodded expressionlessly, but he was relieved in his heart. He knows how much he values Qin Yining, if something happens to Qin Yining under his nose, how sad should he be? I'm afraid that in the future, their brothers won't be able to do it.

"I'll arrange for someone to escort you out of town."

Qin Yining smiled: "Don't bother, the manpower around me is quite enough." It's not hard to sneak out with me quietly. ”

As he was talking, he saw Mu Jinghu walking briskly up to the city gate tower.

Seeing Ji Zeyu, Mu Jinghu arched his hand and said bluntly: "Lu Heng left the city two days ago. The rebels in the city have been arrested, but it is possible that many others are still hiding among the people. If you want to be safe, you have to be more careful. ”

Ji Zeyu returned the salute and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for informing." ”

Mu Jinghu waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

Qin Yining said: "Then I'll go and prepare my bags." ”

Ji Zeyu and Lu Weigui both nodded.

Qin Yining and the two of them saw each other again, and then led people down the city tower quickly, Mu Jinghu followed behind Qin Yining, and said in a low voice: "Lu Heng escaped, what are you going to do?" ”

"I can't think of a good way for a while." Qin Yining sighed and said, "At this point, I didn't understand why Lu Heng came to this point. He wasn't originally that kind of person. ”

For the sake of power, for wealth, and in order to make himself stronger, Lu Heng's actions, although he may be able to achieve his goal one day, but he also paid a high price, including his once glorious and gentlemanly heart, as well as his image in Qin Yining's mind.

The group returned all the way back to Yamen, and did not encounter any danger on the way.

But Qin Yining knew that there were still huge hidden dangers in this city, and he didn't know how Ji Zeyu would deal with it to completely solve it.

When they arrived at the wing, Jiyun and the others went to pack their things, while Qin Yining talked to Mu Jinghu in a low voice.

"Mu Gongzi, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much. It's just that I see that your emotions are really not right, if you have any worries, you just have to say it, and I and the prince will do our best to help you think of something. ”

Mu Jinghu was silent, the situation in his eyes changed, he and Qin Yining were also old acquaintances. When she and Xiao Xiao were not married, he went to her side as a guard. Over the years, he has seen her relationship with Xiao Xiao with his own eyes, knows her character, and trusts her in his heart.

"That's it." Mu Jinghu's voice was a little weak, and he sighed, "It's okay to tell you." I'm completely done with that woman. I don't want to see her again in this life. ”

Qin Yining frowned, seeing that Mu Jinghu was so angry and depressed, he considered his words and said, "Could there be some misunderstanding in the middle?" I can see that Boss Qiu's feelings for you are real, she has not given birth to Brother Yan before you, a woman is willing to give birth to an heir for a man, even if there is any misunderstanding between husband and wife, you have to look at it more. ”

Mu Jinghu shook his head, "You don't know." We were all taken advantage of by the woman. She's so cunning and insidious that she's got us all into it. Including the one when she was sick this time, she also deliberately pretended to be sick in order to lure me out of the capital. ”

Qin Yining was dumbfounded, "What's going on?" ”

Mu Jinghu said: "If you imagine the relationship between their Qiu family, as a hidden family, and the Lu family, a prominent family, you understand. ”

Qin Yining is so smart, he has already reminded him, and he has a vague guess in his heart.

Before she could speak, Mu Jinghu said angrily: "At the beginning, she wooed Zhixi in order to use Zhixi to deal with her uncle in order to take back everything she had in the Qiu family. Now that Lu Heng has fallen, the Lu family has been liquidated by the saint, showing that the family has suffered a devastating blow, and it is the time for the hidden family to come to the stage.

"Now there are many officials in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that many of them are related to the Qiu family. This woman's ambition and lust for power are simply breathtaking!

"In the past, she had the same purpose with us and dealt with the Lu family together, so she was quite dedicated to us. But now that the people installed by the Qiu family have become officials in the court, it means that she has become a member of the Holy faction. ”

Qin Yining nodded and sighed softly.

Li Qitian is the Son of Heaven, and only when the Son of Heaven has arrangements can the officials of the court and the central government secure their positions. So their common interests with Qiu Feishan before collapsed after the Lu family was destroyed, and now the person who has common interests with Qiu Feishan has become Li Qitian, when they can destroy Lu Heng and settle the Tatar matter, all Qiu Feishan's wrongs will be equivalent to being completely achieved.

"You say, how did her grandfather, who loved her the most, die?" Mu Jinghu mocked, "It seems that she is a filial granddaughter, and she says that she wants revenge and what she wants to do, who knows that now that the interests are in front of her, she can even shake hands with the person who killed her grandfather." ”

Qin Yining was even more surprised, "You mean, Boss Qiu and Qiu Yuanqing are reconciled as before?" ”

"yes." Mu Jinghu gritted his teeth and said, "This woman is simply too insidious. She is extremely controlling, and refuses to listen to other people's advice and ideas. She thought it was dangerous for me to stay in the capital, so she lied to trick me out, and pretended to be sick, so that rock candy did a lot of work in vain. Now that her goal has been achieved, she naturally doesn't care about my thoughts. ”

Mu Jinghu took two deep breaths before calming down his heart, and said in a deep voice: "She and Qiu Yuanqing have reconciled. All the hard work in the past became a joke. She also asked me to pretend to be sick and continue to deceive Xi, to put it bluntly, she just wanted to control me, and didn't want to get too close to me and Xi, after all, she had a common goal with Xi in the past, but now she doesn't! ”
