The suggestion of the prime minister was unanimously agreed by everyone, so they were divided into two teams, each of which sent cronies to assist the prime minister in handling the affairs of the city, and the other group rushed to the dense forest south of the city.

Qiu Yan was also on his way to the dense forest in the south of the city, although he couldn't move around on his own in the current situation, so he could only rely on Hu Fan's carriage.

The two teams moved and raced against the clock.

At present, the matter has not broken out, and it is still very simple for Qiu Yan and others to go out of the city, after all, many of these officials have the right to go out of the city without inspection, and it is very simple to hide Lu Cong's body in the car and take it out.

If Lu Cong is found dead by the palace and an announcement is issued, it will be too late to leave at that time.

In short, they passed through the south gate of the city very smoothly, and the team hurried away, and then broke away from the avenue in the middle of nowhere, and took the rugged path into the depths of the dense forest south of the city.

After arriving at their destination, the group searched for members of the secret order, hoping to meet as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, they are reluctant to meet with secret organizations, and if they are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's just that there is no choice at the moment, and it is necessary to fight for survival.

When they searched around, they spotted an old man in a cloak and hat sitting on the shore fishing near a natural pond deep in the forest.

It seems that the other party is just an ordinary person, and he usually doesn't care at all, but the secret organization gave this address, and then everyone didn't find anyone else here, so this old man naturally became the primary object of suspicion.

"Hu Fan!" After Qiu Yan heard the report, he immediately instructed his cronies, "You go and inquire about this old man to see if he is the person we are looking for, and don't be too straightforward!"

"Huh!" Hu Fan received the order, hurriedly ran to the vicinity of the pond, and sure enough, he found the old man who was fishing, so he cautiously leaned over and asked softly, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

"Fishing, you don't have good eyes?" the old man didn't reply, and replied lightly.

"That...... Is it just fishing here?" Hu asked cautiously, "Or wait for someone by the way?"

"Where are you from?" asked the old man rhetorically.

Hu Fan's eyes lit up, and he said that there was a play, and he hurriedly replied respectfully: "I just came out of Miliang City, and someone met me here!"

"Really, who made an appointment with you?" asked the old man again.

Hu Fan thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "A friend from the east! There is a little problem on my side, and I need this friend's help!"

Lao Su nodded: "You have the final say here?"

"No, it's over there, I'm going to invite someone over?"

"Old man come with you!" said the old man, putting down the fishing rod and getting up.

"Please follow me!" Hu Xuan hurriedly led the way and led Lao Suo to the team's hiding place.

Seeing that Hu Fan brought Lao Su by the pond, everyone in the team gathered around.

Hu Fan lifted the curtain of the carriage door and let Qiu Yan, who was lying inside, see Lao Suo.

"Old Immortal?!" Seeing Lao Suo, Qiu Yan suddenly showed a look of surprise. Isn't this the one on Miliang Mountain?

Lao Suo had no expression, looked around at everyone and shook his head, and asked, "Where is Lu Cong?"

Qiu Yan hurriedly gestured and asked Hu Xuan to open the curtain of a carriage next to him.

Inside the carriage, Lu Cong lay upright.

Lao Su walked to the front of the car and sniffed, shook his head in disappointment, and sighed slightly.

"We rescued Your Majesty from the palace, and we didn't notice it for a while, causing Your Majesty to eat many golden pills!" Qiu Yan hurriedly replied, "When I reacted, Your Majesty had already died!"

"Needless to say," said the old man's face with displeasure, "I already know about it!"

"Old Immortal, what should we do now? If the news of His Majesty's death spreads, none of us will survive!" Qiu Yan said, "When the time comes, your arrangements in the Liang Kingdom for so many years will fall short!"

"Who has wronged him in this matter?" Lao Suo replied coldly, "You are not acting secretly, so that you are like this! How important is Lu Cong, how can he have an accident?"

"Forgive me for my curiosity," a civil official on the side interjected in confusion, "Shouldn't you want our emperor to die, why are you so angry?"

Lao Suo glanced at the civil official coldly: "Do you know how much effort I have spent in refining these golden pills? How many people have paid the price in order to test the effect of the golden pills? Do you think that the hard work of refining the golden pill and letting Lu Cong take it for so long is just to kill him? If this is really the case, is it not good to feed him directly with poison? A puppet emperor who is alive and controllable, or a puppet emperor who is worthless when he dies and has no value to get the puppet emperor, which one will you choose?"

"It turns out that you want to control Your Majesty through the addiction of pills?" The imperial doctor, who was forcibly brought over by the team, widened his eyes when he heard this.

Lao Suo's gaze swept to him like a fool, and said coldly: "People with a little brain, they can understand when they find the effect of Jindan!"

"What should I do now? Your Majesty is dead, once the news leaks, we will definitely die!" Qiu Yan said, "The palace will definitely find out the problem quickly and come out to search for Your Majesty." Ask the old gods to save me, if we can escape from the Liang Kingdom alive, we will never disobey in the future!"

"But there is a drive, never disobey!" Although the civil and military forces at the scene did not really want to leave the Liang Kingdom, they did not want to destroy their ancestors, and they lost their heads and affected their families.

Lao Suo shook his head and said to them: "There are too many of you, even if you use all your manpower and material resources, it is completely impossible to send them all out! Besides, if you all evacuate the foundation that has been laid down for so many years, won't it be a failure? Compared to leaving the Liang Kingdom, you can only play your greatest role by staying here!"

"But the old immortal, if we don't leave, the news of His Majesty's death will leak out, and we will definitely die without a place to be buried!" Qiu Yan said hurriedly.

The civil and military officials at the scene spoke one after another, all saying the same as Qiu Yan, hoping to get help, and it was best to flee from Liang State.

Lao Su raised his hand to silence them: "I can understand your feelings, after all, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be extremely flustered. It is not easy to escape from the Liang Kingdom, even if you can do it, at most, you will be taken away by the highest number of identities between you, including your family members and private soldiers, you can only stay here. In fact, there is a turning point in this matter, it depends on whether you dare to do it!"

"Old immortal, we are already on a dead end!" Qiu Yan said, "As long as you can live, what is there to dare to do?"

"Yes, let's do whatever we want to do, as long as we can survive. "These people have no choice, they must have had some concerns before, and they have to think carefully about things that are slightly excessive. Now, Lu Cong is dead, and if he drags it out any longer, he will raid his family and destroy his ancestors, so he doesn't have to think about it at all.

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Lao Su nodded and said: "In this case, there is only one way! Right now, in the entire Liang Kingdom, no one except you knows that Lu Cheng is dead." And the matter has not been exposed for the time being, there is room for maneuver! If you want to survive, you can only gamble one game. If you win the bet, you can not only survive, but also control the Liang Kingdom. If you lose the bet, we will try our best to help, and if you can go, count a few. ”

"You say, how do you gamble?" Qiu Yan asked.

The other civil and military officials stared directly at Lao Suo, waiting for him to speak.

Lao Su said in a low voice: "You say that it is important in the court of Liang State, and it is indispensable to say that it is not important. And all of them gathered together private soldiers, at least eight thousand. Eight thousand doesn't seem like much, but in fact, if you take it seriously, it's enough to do a lot of things, and even change the overall situation! And I ask you, once Lu Cong's death is leaked, what will happen to the Liang Kingdom?"

"Of course we are wanted, and the whole country will encircle and suppress us!" a military general replied immediately.

"Wrong!" Lao Suo shook his head, "it is the decision who will inherit the throne! Especially after Lu Cong's death, this problem is even more complicated!"

"Why?" Qiu Yan asked suspiciously.

"Although Lu Cong has already established the crown prince, and he is the queen's own child, his name is justified. But he also has several sons, all of whom are from different concubines, and they all represent the interests of different ethnic groups behind them. Originally, at Lu Cong's age, the crown prince wanted to succeed to the throne very early, but the ministers of the court and the central government had already divided into multiple camps, ostensibly working together, actually supporting the crown prince, and also supporting several other princes, wanting to assist them to replace the crown prince and ascend the throne before Lu Cong's abdication. Not to mention that there is also a Lu Lian, he is Lu Cong's younger brother, and it is not impossible for the crown prince to snatch the throne by virtue of his power before he reaches adulthood! Especially Lu Yuan's son Lu Yuan has a very high status in the army and is close to Sima Fa. If he wants to seize the throne, it is not difficult, it depends on whether he has this mind. Even if you don't have this mind, you must choose a side and assist a prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor. Lao Su said, "Although the incident happened suddenly, we can give full support to you and send you to Yanzhou quickly, so that you can meet Lu Wei, the king of Yujiang!"

"Yujiang King Lu Wei?" everyone looked at each other.

"That's right! Lu Wei, the king of Yujiang, was born to Mrs. Tian, this Mrs. Tian was from Yujiang and was included in the palace by Lu Cong, because Lu Wei became a lady left, only worse than the queen's status. Lu Cong gave Lu Wei a fief in Yujiang, and now the mother and son are temporarily staying in Yanzhou to avoid the queen. Lu Wei is the least favored among Lu Cong's many princes, but he is extremely smart at a young age, and Yanzhou is basically optimistic about him, and he belongs to Mrs. Tian's forces. If you want to reverse the situation, after you arrive in Yanzhou, you immediately find Mrs. Tian and cry to her, saying that Lu Lian and Empress Lu killed Lu Cong and plotted to usurp the throne. Before he died, he wrote an edict to abolish the crown prince Lu Jing, make Lu Wei the emperor, and order him to send troops to exterminate the traitors and avenge his father! Once the situation is formed, at worst it will be a confrontation! If we really can't stand it, anyway, we will secretly send troops to assist Lu Wei if we are neighbors to China. ”

"Fake edict?this—Can this work?" everyone's faces changed, "In case Mrs. Tian kills us on the spot......"

"No! Mrs. Tian doesn't care if the edict is true or not, as long as Lu Cong's body arrives, she will definitely crusade against the queen. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, and she will never let it go. Even if she doesn't want it, the forces of all sides in Yanzhou, as well as the officials who support Lu Wei in the DPRK and China, will not let go of this opportunity! As for the edict, we will do it extremely truthfully, and we will not see the slightest problem! The key lies in whether you dare to do it or not, and whether you are willing to do it! With our full support, what else is there to worry about? This is the only way out for you, and if you bet right, your name will go down in history, and if you lose the bet, you will lose the stench for 10,000 years!" Lao Suo said in a deep voice, "How you choose, it is all up to you! This matter is all caused by you, and you have to solve it with your own hands!"
