This Northern Qi people acted treacherously, although they made it clear that the other party's target was themselves, but they were also more and more unsure of their true intentions. waved the southern expedition, but stopped at Rongcheng; The soldiers came to the city, but they returned to Zhao completely, and even the few envoys who sent off their relatives were extremely obedient and never stepped into the acropolis. Now I have come to ask you to come to the city tomorrow to meet you.

"This envoy is a popular person in front of the palace of Northern Qi, and the official worships Shaoqing, so he can be said to be the right-hand man of the king of Northern Qi." Ya Xiang recalled the news from Xiuhetang, "Recently, there has been no movement of the king of Northern Qi, and all the affairs are handled by this young master. ”

"Yaxiang, do you think your girl is lucky?" Lu Fuling suddenly asked thoughtlessly. Fortunately, she didn't mean to ask Yaxiang to answer, and said to herself, "I think in the dark, someone is helping us." At least, not to kill us. ”

The next day, with a table of breakfast with Northern Qi characteristics, Lu Fuling waited in the city lord's mansion, waiting for the Northern Qi envoys to come.

"Northern Qi and Deng are in the southeast, and I have seen Lu Niangniang." This Deng Shaoqing came quickly, dressed in an emerald green beard, but it was rare not to look abrupt. The advance and retreat are elegant, and the gestures are all polite. Speaking Dakang's official words, there seemed to be a smile on his face, "Deng has been waiting here for a long time." Lu Niangniang's journey was really hard, but fortunately, most of the Northern Qi capital was not far from here. Set off in three days, just in time to avoid a blizzard. What does Lu Niangniang think? ”

"Lord Deng's arrangement is naturally the best. It's just that Poria twisted her foot yesterday, and it's really not good to rush immediately. Can Lord Deng give Poria a few days to recuperate? Lu Fuling opened her eyes and said nonsense.

"Even so, it's really helpless." The envoy was unexpectedly easy to speak, and said some about the customs and customs of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and after greeting politely, he took the initiative to get up and leave.

After Deng Dongnan left, Ya Xiangcai looked at Lu Lingling with an incredulous expression: "This is the end?" ”

Lu Fuling was also a little surprised, but she managed to control her expression and spoke calmly: "No matter what they want, I will never let them succeed." ”

What made Lu Fuling even more puzzled was the attitude of this Lord Deng. After saying these few words, there was no flattery, but it seemed that she had already known that she would use excuses to delay. This confident appearance makes people inexplicably empty-hearted.

"And, girl, Ya Xiang thinks that this Deng Shaoqing looks at you strangely." Ya Xiang hesitated for a moment before speaking, that kind of look seemed familiar, but she just couldn't remember when and where she had seen it. But if she had ever seen this unpredictable Deng Shaoqing, she would definitely have left an impression.

"Wei Quan." Lu Fuling thought for a moment and remembered, that look, "After I entered the palace, when the little emperor visited Zhong Lingyuan at night for the first time, Wei Quan followed. He had always kept his head down and had no sense of presence, but he secretly looked at me for a long time that day. It's that look. "Curious, wary, and familiar.

"What does the girl mean is that this Deng Shaoqing and Gonggong Wei are all the way?" Ya Xiang has no memory of what Poria said, and now she can't understand what Lu Poria is referring to.

"No, I mean, this Deng Shaoqing, no, it's the person behind him, he must know me." Lu Poria played with the tea cup on the table, "Whether it's friend or foe." ”

"The King of Northern Qi?" Yaxiang gasped.

"Left and right are just speculation." Lu Fuling put down the pot and motioned to Ya Xiang to follow her into the side hall, "We don't have much time, at the latest in the afternoon of the third day, the civil defense, the pass and the commercial market of the Acropolis must be controlled, so that Ye Fangying can go to the southeast gate on the eve of leaving the city." ”

"Yes. Everything has gone according to plan. Yaxiang also turned colored, "The Acropolis is good, and it is difficult to defend against Jiaoling." Girl, is it true that the 1,000 Ye Fang camps in the city will not be taken away? ”

"Jiaoling Town is only seven miles away, if you can take it, a thousand people are enough; If you can't take it, why bother with all those meaningless sacrifices? ”
