Yuehua nodded firmly: "If we let the news go around and let Lu Bo know that I am looking for him everywhere, he will definitely take the initiative to show up." ”

"I disagree!" Chu Mubai was the first to object, and denied it: "It's too dangerous to do this, it will shift the other party's eyes to you, arouse their suspicion, and cause you to be killed!" ”

"But if it continues to delay like this, Lu Bo will be as murderous as Uncle Qiu. Even if you investigate secretly, you will inevitably reveal the news and arouse the vigilance of the other party, and we must make a decision immediately, and we cannot give them time to kill people and kill people. ”

"No matter what you say, you can't say anything, the emperor won't agree, nothing is as important as your safety."

"If you don't tell me, how will he know?" Yuehua was unprecedentedly stubborn: "What's more, there are so many guards around me, and the other party may not dare to act rashly." I can promise you not to leave this maple grove or the sight of the guards. All I need is my name. ”

Chu Mubai was still hesitating: "I can't bet on your safety." ”

"But no one but me can make Ruber and Uncle Qiu believe. If they had trusted you, they would have shown up long ago. ”

"Maybe there is me," Zijin said, "if I reveal my background, maybe Ruber will believe me, and if my father is still alive, he will come to me." ”

"Impossible!" Yuehua denied Zijin's thoughts in one mouth: "First, whether what happened here that day had anything to do with Uncle Qiu, we can't be sure yet; Second, even if Uncle Yeqiu did come that day, Ruber might not believe your identity.

There is also the most important reason, Uncle Qiu was falsely accused of betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy, once your identity is exposed, it will cause public anger. And the other party is ruthless, talking about you, everyone here is afraid that there is danger. Since it's all the same result, you might as well let me do it. Your life story will never be revealed until the end. ”

Yuehua's analysis was well-organized and irrefutable, and Chu Mubai and Zijin fell silent for a while. The search for Rubeus was imminent, and they really had no other solution.

Yuehua stood up and said categorically: "I have made up my mind, I will do what I say, starting tomorrow, all the people who are looking for Lu Bo will let out the news, just say that I, Queen Chu Yuehua, will offer a heavy reward to find his whereabouts." ”

The next day, Chu Mubai released the wind according to what Yuehua said, and told the guards guarding the maple forest that if there was an old man who was over fifty years old and his legs were not very convenient to come to look for Yuehua, he must be kept.

Originally, the news that Yuehua was demoted out of the Forbidden City and settled in the maple forest, Mo Guhan did not make a public announcement in order to protect her safety. Now it has spread vigorously, and it immediately caused an uproar in the capital. The people were talking and speculating.

Chu Mubai and Zijin vigilantly watched the wind and grass in the capital, and did not dare to slack off.

He could keenly perceive that the seemingly calm and waveless capital was being nurtured with turbulence, and there were many ghosts and ghosts who were about to move in the dark.

Three days passed, and there was no news.

On the fourth day, there was finally news of Rubeus, but it was bad news.

Rubeus was killed in a deserted temple in the east of the city.

The first person to find Rubeus's body was Hanako. Dead people are common, and there are often beggars who die of cold and starvation in deserted temples. The rivers and lakes are chaotic, and there are many people who have died unexpectedly, and this kind of ownerless corpse can't even enter Yizhuang, and is often thrown into a mass grave.

In the past few days, the wind released by Chu Mubai was vigorous, which called Huazi walking the streets and alleys, and also heard the news that the queen had offered a reward to find Lu Bo, and he also paid attention to the portrait, so he immediately reported to the official.

Chu Mubai and Zijin were non-stop, and when they arrived in a panic, Lu Bo's body was not cold, but their hearts were cold.

Chu Mubai knew Lu Bo, and although he hadn't seen him for several years, he could still determine his identity at a glance.

He was blocked by a sword, and he died of exhaustion, but he died peacefully, without the slightest look of horror on his face, as if he had long expected his end.

Chu Mubai could even catch a calm smile at the corner of his lips.

The murderer's killing moves were clean and clean, and his shots were ruthless. The murder weapon was not left at the scene, and after an inquest, it should have been a very sharp sword.

According to such skills, Chu Mubai believes that it is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can do. It should be the Hall of Blood.

Rubeus is dead, and all the clues are broken. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was still the other party who took the lead.

Chu Mubai was annoyed and cut off the tree at the entrance of the broken temple with a sword. He hated himself for being useless, and let Yuehua's hard work go to waste. He didn't know how to go back to Fenglin to explain to Yuehua, and his heart was like frying.

knew who the mastermind behind it was, but he couldn't catch the slightest handle, so he could only helplessly watch him continue to get away with it and kill innocents indiscriminately.

He returned to the Maple Forest with a heavy heart, and told Yuehua the news with frustration.

Yuehua was also like being poured a scoop of cold water on her head, stunned for a long time, and only sighed, and said bitterly: "Bring Lu Bo's body back and bury it in the maple forest." ”

Chu Mubai did so and ordered Lu Bo's body to be transported back to Fenglin.

He was silent for a long time, and said to Yuehua: "I want to go to the palace and report the news of Lu Bo's murder to the emperor." ”

Yuehua nodded: "It's okay." ”

He hesitated for a moment and continued, "I also want to hand over the letter left by Uncle Qiu to the emperor. ”

Yuehua looked at Zijin: "It's up to Zijin to decide this matter." The other party's forces are too terrifying, the situation is critical, and now I feel that there is no need to hide it. ”

Zijin only groaned slightly, and his heart was also seven up and eight down, and the six gods had no master. Rubeus had been silenced, and she felt that her father's hope of survival was extremely slim.

"I listen to Brother Mubai."

"Okay, let Zijin enter the palace with me, meet the emperor, report the ins and outs of the whole matter, and let the emperor decide."

The three of them had already made up their minds, and they didn't delay any longer, so they immediately got out of the maple forest, turned over their horses, and went straight to the Forbidden City.

Today, Mo Guhan is a little busy, two days ago Huguang and other places were seriously waterlogged, and there were floods and mudslides in various places into Beijing. He was so worried that he was summoning the ministers of the Ministry of Industry in the imperial study to discuss matters such as damming and disaster relief, until the golden sun sank in the west and night fell.

Chu Mubai has Mo Guhan Qin's waist card, often in and out, the guards know him, without having to pass it, he directly entered the palace, and waited outside the imperial study with Zijin, waiting for Mo Guhan to summon him.

Rong Xiang was guarding the door, and when he heard Mo Guhan constantly being angry in the imperial study, he shrunk his neck, and he didn't dare to go in recklessly, so as not to hit his head on the knife.

He misses the days when Yuehua was by Mo Guhan's side every day.

Chang Lingyan brought the maidservant girl over, and he was arrogant and unimpeded along the way.

The maid held the freshly made pea yellow in her hand, still steaming.

None of the guards dared to stop them, they knew the arrogant temperament of this concubine, and they couldn't stop it, and they even provoked a scolding.

The guard was perfunctory and said, "The emperor is discussing with the ministers in the imperial study, so it's better not to disturb the mother." ”

Chang Lingyan snorted disdainfully, turning a blind eye and hearing as if he had not heard it.

The guards shut up behind her, happy to see her lively.

Chang Lingyan walked past Chu Mubai and Zijin with his head held high, then paused and turned his head. Covered the rouge on the red lips with a handkerchief.

"Hey, this palace said who is so piercing, the pestle is majestic here, it turns out to be General Chu."

Chu Mubai didn't squint, didn't look at her, and leaned over to salute: "Your Majesty see Concubine Lian." ”

Chang Lingyan snorted proudly and sneered: "What is General Chu doing in the palace?" Who lost the old hen in the capital? Or did the woman of which family steal the man? The emperor has a lot of opportunities, but he doesn't have time to listen to you say that these messy parents are short. ”

Last time, Chu Mubai had a conflict with Chang Lingyan in the imperial study for the sake of Mo Guhan's poor treatment of Yuehua, and was demoted by Mo Guhan to patrol the city on the spot. Now that the two of them are enemies, their eyes are red, and Chang Ling's cigarette mouth naturally does not accumulate virtue.

Chu Mubai reluctantly suppressed his anger: "Your Majesty will meet the emperor, and naturally there will be something to do." ”

Qiu Zijin on the side heard Chang Lingyan sneering at Chu Mubai, and felt a nameless fire soaring, listening to Chu Mubai's name for her, only to know that she was the culprit who annoyed thousands of people, hated thousands of people, and caused Yuehua to be depressed, and the fire in her eyes was even more "whirring".

Chang Lingyan's eyes swept away, and he saw Qiu Zijin with an angry face, looking her up and down unscrupulously, and saw that although she was dressed plainly, neither male nor female, she was heroic, her eyebrows and eyes were vivid, and she was also a beautiful embryo.

She suddenly realized, stretched out her finger and pointed at Qiu Zijin and sneered: "It is said that eating a trench will lead to a wise man, it turns out that General Chu has also learned to be flexible, this is to pimp in the Forbidden City, right?" It's a pity that I don't know how to find a better product, just this virtue, can the emperor take a fancy to it? ”

Qiu Zijin heard her humiliate herself like this, so no matter what her powerful identity was, she immediately ridiculed her: "There are naturally not many people in this world who can compare to Concubine Lian Niangniang, and there are only ones who can have such means as you." ”

These words are clearly praised and depreciated, even if Chang Lingyan is stupid, he can hear the sound outside the strings, and he wants to greet Qiu Zijin in the face when he stepped forward.

With Qiu Zijin's skills, Chu Mubai naturally didn't worry that she would be beaten, but he was worried that Qiu Zijin would commit another crime and hurt Concubine Lian, so it would be difficult to explain.

Therefore, as soon as he raised his hand without hesitation, he blocked Chang Lingyan's slap and blocked Qiu Zijin behind him.

Qiu Zijin was protected by him, his heart was beating like a deer, and he felt like he had eaten honey, and his whole body was hearty.

"Niangniang, you can't help but say that you beat her, aren't you afraid that the emperor will summon you for a while and ask the reason?"
