Chapter 20: The Truth

The winter in Jinling was already cold, and it rained for three days in a row, and it became colder and colder, and Luo Qingzhi, who had lived in Yuzhou for ten years, also ordered someone to seal the study room to keep warm.

In the past few days, after the military newspaper from Yuzhou was delivered to the study, Luo Qingzhi would stay in the study for half an hour, sometimes even a whole day.

The subordinates of the county lord's mansion are rumoring that it should be the unrest of the border that will make their own county lord so worried.

Such words came from the county lord's mansion, and also spread to other mansions along with the servants who came in and out to buy.

"Knock knock."

Listening to the three knocks on the door, Luo Qingzhi said, "Come in." ”

Qin Shu came in slowly, saluted, and said, "Master, I'm back." ”

Luo Qingzhi counted the time, exactly three days, teased him, and said, "You are really punctual, saying that three days will be three days." ”

Qin Shu closed the door and asked, "Where is Luo Chen?" ”

Luo Qingzhi pointed to the roof and said, "What about above?" ”

Qin Shu let out an "oh" and knelt down on one knee in front of Luo Qingzhi, looking flattering.

Luo Qingzhi glanced at it and said, "Didn't it happen?" I'm not going to accept that. ”

Qin Shu smiled and said, "That's not, I'm asking my master for peace, I see that the servants of other families are doing this." ”

Luo Qingzhi put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Qin Shu who was smiling in front of her, if it weren't for Zhixin's absence in the mansion, she would think that this was Zhixin after the disguise.

"First, you are not my servant, and second, I want to know about General Li Chu now." Luo Qingzhi said.

Seeing Luo Qingzhi like this, Qin Shu stopped playing and said, "I have found Li Chu, but the old general only wants to see you alone." ”

"Has your identity been verified?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Qin Shu nodded and said, "According to the information provided by Mr. Fan, I have verified. ”

Luo Qingzhi asked, "Where is he?" ”

Qin Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Ming Feng." ”

Although she returned to the capital, Luo Qingzhi was still unfamiliar with this place, and asked, "Mingfeng Tower is a restaurant?" ”

“...... Qinglou. ”

Luo Qingzhi suddenly realized and said, "No wonder I couldn't find it before, who would have thought that the place where the old general was hiding would be Qinglou." ”

Qin Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect it either, I didn't dare to believe it until I followed up to confirm it." ”

Knowing Li Chu's whereabouts, but Zhi was absent and couldn't be disguised, there were spies everywhere outside the county lord's mansion, and now Luo Qingzhi was really in trouble.

"Hey, hey." Qin Shu smiled and said, "Master, are you thinking about how to go to the appointment without being noticed?" ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "Then you still don't give your master a trick?" ”

Qin Shu said: "As for me, I stayed in the building for a day yesterday, this Mingfeng Tower, not only has a beautiful female concubine, but also a stunning male concubine, so ah, master, you can enter generously." ”

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "When is it?" ”

"Tonight, the third floor private room."

Luo Qingzhi said "um" and said, "I know, you are a secret agent, and you have to participate in the selection on the seventh day of junior high school, so it is inconvenient to appear with me." ”

Qin Shu immediately said: "But, master, you go alone, I don't worry, that place can eat people." ”

Then, Luo Qingzhi raised her head and shouted, "Luo Chen." ”

After a while, Luo Chen pushed the door in, saluted, and said, "Master." ”

Luo Qingzhi instructed, saying: "I'm going to Mingfeng Tower tonight, it's inconvenient for Qin Shu to show up, so I have to stay in the mansion, you wait outside the building to wait for me, just in case." ”

"Huh? Don't need a subordinate to accompany you in? Luo Chen asked.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go alone, it's convenient to act." ”

“...... Okay, that's going to set up a car. Luo Chen said.

As soon as the frame of the county lord's mansion left the main street, Luo Qingzhi noticed that at least two people were following.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the hour, and the frame came to the door of Mingfeng Tower.

Luo Qingzhi stepped out of the carriage, for convenience, she was wearing men's clothes tonight, and she was still wearing Bai Yujue around her waist.

The golden plaque with the big red lantern is also very eye-catching in the already prosperous Liuli Lane.

As soon as Luo Qingzhi walked into the building, she was stopped by Fan's mother, the principal in the building.

"Oh, this little boy has a face, it's the first time I've come."

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Yes, it's the first time I've come." ”

Mother Fan smiled and said, "Then, little boy, do you want a girl or a man?" ”

Luo Qingzhi opened the folding fan and said, "I want it, it's the best." ”

"Haha, I know, I know."

Fan's mother called left and right and said, "Go, take this son to the private room on the third floor." ”

"Yes, Mom."

Luo Qingzhi was taken to the private room, the fragrant plum fragrance in her nose looked particularly elegant in such a winter day, she sat behind the screen, observed the surroundings, and estimated that the time was almost up.

"Knock knock, little boy."

"Come in."

Mother Fan came in with a man in white, introduced with a smile, and said, "Childe, this is Qingshanjun in the building." ”

"Qingshan, come, I've seen Childe."

Qingshan Jun is dressed in white, holding a bamboo fan, with a plum fragrance and a clear and handsome face, if she is not in Mingfeng Tower, she would think that she is a reclusive poet in front of her.

"Aoyama has seen Childe."

Luo Qingzhi raised his hand and asked him to get up.

Fan's mother resigned.

The two sat opposite each other on the tea case, and Qingshanjun poured tea for Luo Qingzhi.

Luo Qingzhi sniffed it, it was indeed tea, a little surprised, and asked, "I thought it should be drinking." ”

Qingshan-kun smiled slightly and said, "Childe wants to drink?" ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

Qingshan-kun smiled and said, "Didn't Childe come to see someone?" Drinking is a fear of misconduct. ”

“......”

Luo Qingzhi took a sip of tea and said, "There is a way to be pleasant with wine, and the hour is still early." ”

Qingshanjun got up, came to Luo Qingzhi's side, approached, pressed her ear, and said, "Childe, do you like me?" ”

Luo Qingzhi widened the distance between the two and looked at the wrench on Qingshanjun's thumb, which was what Qin Shu said, Li Chu's token.

Qingshanjun looked at the door, his eyes signaled, Luo Qingzhi knew that there was someone outside the house.

Luo Qingzhi approached Qingshanjun, and from the direction outside the door, the two seemed to be kissing.

After confirming that there was no eyeliner outside the house, Luo Qingzhi took a few steps back and asked, "What about people?" ”

Qingshan-kun got up and said, "Childe, please come with me." ”

The two came to the inner room, and a rickety old man immediately knelt down on his knees when he saw Luo Qingzhi, and said, "Sinner Li Chu, participate in the eldest lady." ”

Qingshanjun had already turned to leave, Luo Qingzhi pulled up the old man and confirmed his face, a little excited, a little surprised.

"Old general, how are you doing all these years?"

Li Chu said: "Miss, my subordinates are fine, okay." ”

Luo Qingzhi looked at his rickety body, his left leg was obviously inconvenient, and he didn't think it was so good.

"Old general, why don't you go back to Yuzhou?"

Li Chu said: "My leg is crippled, and the dog emperor has been looking for me again, I, I can't go back." ”

"The Dog Emperor?"

Li Chu's eyes were ruthless, and he said: "Yes, the subordinates became like this, and it was all caused by Gao Yan's dog emperor." ”

Luo Qingzhi frowned, didn't say anything, and waited for Li Chu's words.

"If the general wants to know, his subordinates will tell you."

Li Chu exhaled and said: "That year, the prince and you entered the palace, you were sent to the prince's side by the first emperor, and the prince followed the first emperor to the Taiji Palace...... I don't know what's wrong, there was a noise in the hall, and Gao Yan was blasted out. ”

Luo Qingzhi asked, "And then?" ”

"The next day, it was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Gao Yan suddenly led troops into the palace and wanted to kill the first emperor, the prince naturally protected the first emperor, and then ......"

Li Chu paused, Luo Qingzhi stared at him, his palms unconsciously clenched into fists, holding his breath.

"Dog Emperor, Gao Yan, kill the prince."

Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes, thinking back to everything she saw that night, when she went, Luo Huaiyi was already lying on the ground, she didn't see who moved, and she couldn't figure out why her father's last words were to protect His Royal Highness the Prince.

If, if it was really Gao Yan who killed, then everything was fine, but what did she do...... Guarding the border for his father-killer for ten years?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and even wanted to run away from here.

Li Chu saw that Luo Qingzhi had not spoken, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "What the subordinates said, every sentence is true, the old prince was pierced through the chest by Gao Yan from the back. ”

Luo Qingzhi slowly let go of her clenched hand, calmed down, and asked, "Then how did you survive at that time?" ”

Li Chu said: "At that time, his subordinates were hit by arrows on their backs and legs, they passed out and were thrown into the mass grave, that day, they set fire, wanted to destroy the corpse, the fire burned my legs, I was woken up by pain, there was no way to live, but on the contrary, God had mercy, it rained heavily in the second half of the night, I survived, climbed out of the mass grave, and when I walked to the street, I heard that the eldest lady had returned to Yuzhou, I thought, I wanted to go back to Yuzhou to find you, just walked to the city gate, I saw the soldiers inquiring...... After wandering around the city for a few days, I found out after inquiring that when Gao Yan counted the corpses, he found that there was a missing ......"

Luo Qingzhi: "Then, what happened later?" ”

Li Chu said: "There is no deed of origin, my body is broken, I can't go out, I can only wait in the city, I think, the eldest lady must come back one day." ”

"I'm sorry I came back late." Luo Qingzhi whispered and lowered her head.

Li Chu kowtowed violently and said angrily: "Miss, you must avenge the prince." ”

“......”

Luo Qingzhi got up abruptly and said, "You stay here for a few more days, and when I make arrangements, I will pick you up." ”

After speaking, he didn't want to wait for Li Chu's answer, he left the room in three steps and two steps, walked out of Mingfeng Tower, took off the rope of the horse, turned over and got on the horse, and went straight to the imperial city.

Even if the palace gate was locked, Keluo Qingzhi, as a celebrity around His Majesty today, didn't even need to explain his intentions, and entered the palace city smoothly.

At the gate of the Xianyang Palace, Huang Shi was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is the county lord in a hurry?" But His Majesty has already slept. ”

Luo Qingzhi said coldly and said, "Get out of the way." ”

Huang Shi immediately knelt down, panicked, and said, "County Lord, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has really fallen asleep." ”

The rain that had just stopped in the morning began to fall again. The raindrops hit Luo Qingzhi's body, she woke up a little, and calmed down a little, looking at the closed door of the Xianyang Palace, and then at Huang Shi kneeling at her feet.

Without saying anything, he turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, the doors of the temple opened.

"Arlo, what's wrong?"

Gao Yan wore a yellow cloak and stood under the porch.
