Chapter Forty-Eight: The Black Cat
As he was talking, the young man outside knocked on the door, "Third Miss, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down." ”
Lu Jia's eyebrows jumped suddenly.
Why is he here again!
At this time, what did he come here for, shouldn't he go into the palace to accompany the emperor?
For a while, Lu Jia couldn't say whether to be angry or what to do, put away the jade pendant, got up to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, the second prince was led upstairs by the young man in the tavern.
When he entered the house, as soon as the door was closed, the second prince roared at Lu Jia with anger on his face, "Are you crazy, is it the black powder explosion you arranged?" Do you know that you almost blew up your father! I've said it all, I'll take revenge with you, why don't you discuss things with me! ”
Lu Jia looked at his face that was crazy because of excitement, listened to his hoarse roar because he lowered his voice, and was silent for a moment, "When the news of Pingweijun's death came, did you have such emotions to question the transfer department?" Have you ever questioned Zhen Guogong? ”
The second prince waved his hand, "These are two different things, Pingwei Army had an accident, it was caused by multiple reasons, but you can't do anything to get to this point in order to take revenge, do you know the consequences of blowing up your father?" The crown prince and the four princes fight to the death, if the father dies, one of the two of them will take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne. ”
Lu Jia heard this, and his heart was cold, "So, are you afraid that you won't have a chance, right?" ”
The second prince had a calm face, "I didn't say that. ”
Lu Jia sneered, "I blew up the black powder, I just want to blow up Zhenguogong, why did the 200,000 troops of the Pingwei Army be destroyed?" That's because someone poisoned it, and that's because there were traitors in the army....."
That night, when the second prince said that he wanted to be with her, Lu Jia's heart was warm.
But now, she suddenly didn't want to share this information with him.
He doesn't deserve it.
But Lu Jia still endured the irritability in his heart, and patiently explained to him, "I didn't kill any innocent people, everyone who died deserves to die, as for you saying that you blew up the emperor, that's impossible, I have no intention of attacking the emperor, and you, the emperor has been greatly frightened and has returned to the palace, presumably now the palace is full of doctors, the palace concubines are in groups, and the princes and princesses are all filial piety in front of the bed, why are you here?" ”
The second prince pursed his lips and laughed at himself: "I am an unpopular prince, what kind of fun did I make in the past, and I won't look at me more when I go to my father." ”
"But if you don't go, it's a sin, a sin of unfilial piety!" Lu Jiadao.
The second prince twitched his cheeks, "Isn't it sinful if I go?" If you want to punish me, you still need a reason, why did I go to guard the emperor's mausoleum for some reason, just because I accidentally knocked over a glass of wine at the palace banquet? It's the same whether I go or not. ”
Lu Jia couldn't believe that this was the words of a prince who was trying to fight for the throne.
Patience was exhausted, Lu Jia said: "You ......"
Without waiting for Lu Jia to speak, suddenly a black cat jumped in from the window on the second floor and scratched at the second prince with a paw on his face.
"Meow!"
The cat came too suddenly, and the speed was extremely fast, almost a black line dangled, and before the second prince could react to what was happening, there was already a hot pain on his face.
Lu Jia was also stunned for a moment.
How could a cat suddenly rush in.
didn't have time to think about it, she reached out to drive away the cat, the cat that had been swarthy, a pair of cat's eyes were as bright as gems, and in the moment Lu Jia stretched out his hand to drive away, it stepped on the head of the second prince and flew on the beam above his head.
When Lu Jia looked up, it had already escaped from the window along the beam, and its posture was elegant.
The second prince covered his scratched face, and got angry angrily, "Aren't you the most powerful female general in the Pingwei Army?" Why can't you even catch a cat, how will you protect me in the future! ”
Lu Jia was originally a little distressed because the second prince was scratched by a cat on his face, but as soon as these words came out, the little distress suddenly disappeared.
"Your Highness thinks highly of me, my ability is not great, so in the future, Your Highness will not come to me, we all want to avenge the Pingwei Army, but obviously have different views, and it is inevitable that differences will hurt the feelings.
Moreover, I am not safe here, the people in the criminal department have long suspected me, and you have come here too many times, so it is inevitable that you will be implicated. ”
The second prince had the heart to persuade Lu Jia to let go, but his face was scratched for a moment, and he was worried about whether he would leave a scar.
I can't come to the throne in the future, and I have a scar on my face.
Which emperor has a scar on his face?
The second prince had to leave indignantly and first.
"Oh my God, why is he like this, the old general loves him so much, he can......'t help it" Chun Bao leaned against the table with a disappointed face, "The old general always said that he was kind-hearted, I see, where is he kind-hearted, this is completely when the mother's womb landed and forgot to bring out his brain together, and it turned into amniotic fluid." ”
Lu Jia didn't want to comment more on the second prince, she walked to the window and looked out, "I didn't see anyone with a cat nearby, that cat doesn't look like a wild cat, its fur is oily and slippery." ”
Poking his head out and looking out, Lu Jia saw a man in ragged clothes in the alley downstairs.
The man was leaning over his shoulders and looking up at her window, with a scar on his face, and the black cat was squatting on the man's shoulder.
After meeting her eyes for a moment, the man patted the black cat on his shoulder and turned to leave.
Lu Jia almost subconsciously tiptoed to the ground and flew out of the window, but restrained herself, there were people in the backyards of so many nearby merchants, if she flew out so blatantly, the news could reach Xiao Gou's ears in a blink of an eye.
She might have to be arrested again.
Who is that man?
Despite the scar on her face, how could she look a little familiar?
Is it the second prince who he let the cat attack?
Or is it a coincidence?
Coincidentally, I've heard of dogs being trained to attack, but I've never heard of training cats.
The man had already walked away with the cat, Lu Jia had to take his gaze, and Chun Bao also saw the person and the cat, "Miss, did that person just now go to our military camp a few years ago?" ”
Lu Jia raised his eyebrows, "Do you also feel familiar?" ”
Chunbao nodded, "It should have been seven or eight years ago, when we were seven or eight years old, and we were still a soldier serving tea and water in the old general's tent, I remember that there seemed to be a person who visited the old general late at night, and the old general asked me to cook him mutton soup."
He was younger, but he already had that piercing scar on his face. ”
If you visit late at night, the person who can make the old general cook mutton soup must be a friend.
Just, who is it?
Lu Jia was unimpressed.
Chun Bao's memory is also limited to cooking mutton soup.
Seven or eight years ago, time is far away, they were too young at that time.
If it's really a friend, why is this person appearing this time?
And that cat, did he deliberately attack the second prince? Why attack, didn't he know that the second prince was the grandson of the old general? But it's no secret.
