Yang Wenxu seemed to hesitate.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Zhaoyi bowed slightly.

"Now Yang is the deputy hall master of the Tianxia League, Mingli is still a guest of King Han, but he will no longer ask King Han to compete with His Majesty for the throne, but King Han is drunk day and night, if the Seventh Lady meets him in the future, he will persuade him one or two."

His tone was sincere, and it seemed that at the beginning, he also sincerely helped Xia Sheng win the throne.

Thinking of Xia Sheng's provocative remarks against her in front of the Tai Chi Hall today, she was faintly reluctant in her heart.

But when I think about it again, his articles and poems are talented, and I feel that they can barely be saved.

Xia Sheng is different from Xia Pei, he has the uninhibited and bold of a literati, and he is also very talented and learned, which is rare in the world, and even Wu Gong has praised him in front of everyone more than once.

But in the end, it was a mistake to drink.

Lu Zhaoyi's eyebrows moved slightly, "If I see him one day, as long as I see that he is truly reformed, I will help you persuade him." ”

Even after Xia Pei ascended the throne, Xia Sheng was still obsessed with power, and if one day, he might really get out of control......

Yang Wenxu just wanted to explain, but saw Lu Zhaoyi raise his hand to block it, "I know, there is no need to say it." ”

She coldly dropped six words and turned to leave.

went downstairs with Gu Man and walked to the door of the restaurant, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt that it was suddenly dark in front of her, and the next moment, she saw a person bumping into her arms.

"Rude, rudeness, it's the maid who doesn't have long eyes and bumps into a nobleman."

The woman in her arms nodded and apologized, but Lu Zhaoyi looked carefully, but she saw a hint of familiarity.

"Flower branches?" Still Gu Man shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Indeed, it is a flower branch.

She looked up suddenly, and when she saw Gu Man and Lu Zhaoyi, she laughed, "It turns out that Qi Niang and Xiao Man." Just now I went over there to get the news out, and I met a few officers and soldiers, and the servant was really afraid, so he hurriedly ran over. ”

Soldiers?

Here, how can there be officers and soldiers?

Lu Zhaoyi was puzzled, lowered his head and asked, "Huazhi, you made it clear, near Yixiang Courtyard?" What kind of officers and soldiers are they? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's around there, and it's all black, with a bow and a spear behind him, a sword in one hand, and a shield in the other......"

Under Huazhi's description, her heart sank, and she was a little scared when she thought about it.

She turned around and saw that Yang Wenxu and the others had already gone downstairs, and they should have heard what Hua Zhi said.

From afar, they looked at each other, and they seemed to understand what each other was trying to say.

Xia Pei's Martial Guards, just around the corner.

I'm afraid that Zuo Qintang will have to evacuate again, and it will have to be redeployed.

Lu Zhaoyi laughed abruptly and touched Gu Man's head, "Xiaoman, I heard that there is something fun in Fanghe Pond on the outskirts of Beijing, can I take you to play another day?" ”

This time it was Gu Man's turn to be stunned.

Obviously, she has just been awarded an official and is going to go out to play, no matter how she thinks about it, something is wrong?

He caught a glimpse of Yang Wenxu behind him, and immediately understood what she meant.

"Is it okay to go play?" Gu Man deliberately raised his voice, "It is said that there is a large courtyard in Fanghe Pond, which seems to belong to our husband." ”

As he spoke, they were one big and one small, with the flower branches that were still stunned, and hurried to the direction of the carriage together.

After they left, Yang Wenxu and the others walked out of the restaurant.

"Deputy hall master, if I understand correctly, what does the Seventh Lady mean, let's go to the outskirts of Beijing to avoid the limelight?" The sword-wielding warrior scratched his head and asked.

Yang Wenxu looked nervous and nodded slightly, "Inform the hall master first and arrange for evacuation." Youyang is in the capital to take care of it, I will go back to the Han Wangfu to take out the city order, and arrange for you to go out first tonight. ”

Gu Man drove the carriage away, the wheels rolling, and the carriage was silent.

I don't know how long I walked, Gu Man's speed slowed down, Lu Zhaoyi lifted the curtain of the car, and found that he had arrived in front of the courtyard.

After getting out of the carriage, she first asked people to take flower branches to prepare refreshments, and then asked Gu Man to call Yingyun to meet, and walked straight to the house by herself.

As soon as she entered the study, she immediately locked the window, closed the door again, sat back on the couch, her mind racing, and took a sip of the teacup.

There was a knock on the door, and it was Shadow Cloud outside, "Mr. looking for me?" ”

When he got a response, he pushed the door in, closed it again, and went to the couch to listen at any time.

"Xia Pei's martial guards have already found Yixiangyuan, and you send someone tonight to help them get out of the city." Lu Zhaoyi's eyes flickered with complexity.

Hearing this, Ying Yun was stunned, "If they want to leave Luojing, won't Mr.'s future plans be blocked everywhere?" ”

Her eyes were deep and she was very sure, "I have other plans for this matter, in short, I must do it well, and I must not show any flaws!" ”

Ying Yun arched his hand and looked respectful, "Sir, don't worry, my subordinates will go." With that, he turned and left.

Not long after he left, Lu Zhaoyi let out a long breath, looked up, and soon fell into a light sleep.

Until......

"Qi Niang, it's not good, wake up!"

Faintly, she heard the sound of a violent knock on the door, opened her eyes, got up, and opened the door of the study in a daze.

Seeing Gu Man's anxious expression.

"Oh no, Qi Niang should hurry back to the Hou Mansion!"

"What happened?" She thought in her heart, could it be that Lu Taigong was not far from death?

Thinking about it like this, she was still a little happy.

It's just that Gu Man said, "King Han took a group of people to the Hou Mansion and gave a dowry. According to the report of the shadow guard, it seems that they have all been accepted. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's head banged, and he came to his senses instantly, "King Han sent it, what to send?" Her eyes widened.

Gu Man replied affirmatively: "Dowry!" Qi Niang! ”

"Taigong accepted it?" Her face turned pale for an instant.

She forced her composure and read the affirmation in Gu Man's eyes.

Looking up again, her eyes were determined.

"Let the shadow wind come back, gather a thousand shadow guards, equip themselves, follow me, and return to the Lu family."

These words frightened Gu Man, "Qi Niang, this, what are you doing here?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it, just do it."

When the words fell, she didn't give Gu Man a chance to refuse, and quickly rushed out, preparing to rectify the team.

Outside the Gouchen Courtyard, a thousand cavalry were neat, majestic, murderous, and every shadow guard was wearing a tiger face and was waiting for orders.

Lu Zhaoyi walked out of the main gate, stepped on the chariot, the curtain was lowered, and she was in the chariot, and after a long time, she seemed to grit her teeth to shout two words.

"Let's go!"

The roar of military horses was everywhere, the ground trembled, and a thousand cavalry galloped, and the dust rose all over the ground, rushing towards the Nanyang Hou Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing.

At this time, the curfew was approaching, and there were hardly any people on the streets of Luojing, except for Jin Wu's sword guards patrolling the streets.

When the thousand cavalry rushed out, an aura of cold slaughter enveloped the entire Luojing.

The sound of horses' hooves was thunderous and deafening.

……

In the palace, in the Taiji Palace, the attendants staggered over, knelt in front of Xia Pei, trembling.

"Your Majesty, under the Gou Chen military division, a thousand shadow moon cavalry dispatched, led by Shadow Wind, has already left the capital at this moment."

And Xia Pei on the dragon throne looked down at the twists and turns in his hands, but there was no fluctuation of his heart.

"I know, don't make a fuss."

The chamberlain knelt on the ground and trembled, "But, Your Majesty! In the capital, with such fanfare and leading the troops, isn't Your Majesty worried? ”

"Worried about what?" Xia Pei glanced at him, "The Shadow Moon Cavalry went out of the city to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion to grab the dowry. ”

"Grab the dowry?" The waiter was stunned and a little shocked.

Xia Pei showed a meaningful smile and continued to bow his head to review the twists and turns.

……

On the way to Nanyang Hou's Mansion, Lu Zhaoyi's heart was simply a mess of twine, and the closer he got to it, the more irritated he became.

Ahead, the scout who set off first rode back to the team to report: "The people of the Han Wangfu and the matchmaker are still in the Lu family, and they are preparing a family banquet at this moment. ”

Yes, there was a flame rising in Lu Zhaoyi's chest, and he immediately ordered Shadow Wind to continue to move at full speed.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, the Lu family's gatehouse was obviously stupid by this scene, and hurriedly went in to return to the Hou Ye.

"Everyone, surround the Hou Mansion and don't let anyone go. But if anyone comes out, they will be killed. With Shadow Wind's order, the Shadow Moon cavalry immediately dispersed and surrounded the Hou Mansion.

Such a move immediately caused the Hou Mansion to panic, and they hid everywhere, not daring to take their heads.

In the high-walled courtyard, the hall of the Hou Mansion is brightly lit, guests gather, and laughter fills the hall.

A subordinate looked hurried, went to Lu Chengye's side and whispered, and in an instant, his face changed suddenly, and he got up and bowed apologetically to the guests, "Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go back when I go." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran towards the gate.
