On the spot, Qu Qiniang was stunned, and it took a long time before she found her voice, "I, my buyer, should, it is Lu Qiniang who wants to kill." ”

Speaking of this, she showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder, at the gate of the city today, and in front of the Great Sima Mansion, so many people want to kill you, actually, you are Gou Chenzi?" ”

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head and held his forehead, slightly happy, "You followed me all the way today, didn't you find out?" ”

"This, who would have guessed? I thought that the one who was in the same carriage with you was Gou Chenzi. Qu Qiniang said with a strange face.

"Who is it that is in the carriage with you?"

Lu Zhaoyi was silent.

Immediately, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the shadow guard in the distance came with an umbrella in a hurry, and saw Qu Qi Niang, but there was no expression of surprise.

Before leaving, he also instructed to let people entertain Qu Qiniang, and the shadow guard immediately reached out to help her, still in shock.

Indeed, it will take her some time to digest.

Before that, the shadow guards had to take her to the backyard for repeated interrogations.

Fangchi Garden, now the contact place of the Tianxia League Zuoqin Hall, is two hours away from Luojing, and it is indeed not far or close.

And her mansion in Yong'an, close to the south of the city and close to the Luohe River, is even more convenient for the two places to communicate.

What's more, nominally, it was Gou Chenzi's private residence.

Late at night, it began to drizzle, but in two tea hours, the rain became heavier and heavier.

On the side of the Luo River in the southern city of Luojing, Jin Wu was still patrolling, a figure, climbing up from the river bank, landed on a roof without the patrol people noticing, as light as a swallow, without a sound.

This kind of behavior seems to have not been noticed by the patrol guards below.

It wasn't until the patrol was away that the figure began to move, and it wasn't long before he landed in a courtyard.

That is Lu Zhaoyi, the mansion where he lives.

……

She leaned against the lattice, looked at the pouring rain outside, and suddenly sighed.

"What a timely rain!"

A cool breeze blew, lifting the curtains, revealing her delicate and beautiful side face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, beautiful and elegant, but there was a trace of sorrow lingering between her eyebrows.

She was in a very bad mood, not long ago, she knew that one of the many murderers who wanted to kill her still existed, a Cai Guifei who had nothing to do with her.

In addition, Lu Situ has already shown his fox tail, Du Yan has not made any movement, and as for the rest of the people in the court, it is not known whether there are people who want to kill themselves.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and a slender figure entered, dressed in an inky night suit, and took off his hat.

The person who came had a delicate jade face, plump and handsome facial features, thin lips and tight purses, and exuded a cold air all over his body, which was terrifying.

After dusting off the rain, the visitor approached and bowed to her back, "Subordinate Lin Chang, I've seen the alliance leader!" ”

Lu Zhaoyi looked back, caught a glimpse of this person, and smiled, "Hall Master Lin came to visit late at night, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Chang, the master of Zuoqin Hall of the World Alliance, is responsible for collecting news and dispatching various resources, and is in charge of most of the news networks of the rivers and lakes, with forces all over the world, and he is a real giant in the rivers and lakes.

And such a gangster is very respectful to her.

Looking up, the drizzle drifting in the dark night sky, Lin Chang pursed his lips, "This mansion of the alliance leader is quiet and elegant. ”

Over the years, the two of them have been bright and dark, with tacit understanding, and with just a few eyes, they know what each other wants to express.

Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Hall Master Lin likes it here? ”

He shook his head, and in an instant, pulled out a stack of notes from his bosom and handed it to her.

Taking it in his hand, Lu Zhaoyi unfolded it, and in a few snaps of his fingers, he stuffed the note into the candle flame beside him, and the fire burst out and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.

The two were silent for a few moments.

Abruptly, it was Lu Zhaoyi who spoke first, with an indifferent expression, "How did you get it?" ”

"Back to the alliance master, this news was delivered from the Han King's Mansion by the Yang Deputy Hall Master."

"The Cold King's Mansion?" She raised her eyes, "It seems that if you want to break this game, you still need the chess piece of the Cold King." ”

"But this Han King has always been smart, and in terms of scheming, he is not much worse than the emperor." Lin Chang said bluntly.

He's right, too.

Back then, Xia Sheng was drunk and driving, crisscrossing the front of the Son of Heaven, and then was reprimanded by Wu Gong, and since then he has lost the opportunity to compete with Xia Pei for the throne of the prince.

But that doesn't mean he's just a drunkard, a man who writes poetry.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

His resourcefulness and ability are far beyond the ability of ordinary civil ministers, if it weren't for this, how could he still become the only king in Beijing after Xia Pei ascended the throne with his skill and prestige?

Therefore, if Lu Zhaoyi wants to solve these troubles, he can only rely on this man.

It's just that she just threw Xia Sheng's dowry out of the Hou Mansion in front of everyone last night, making him lose so much face, and now he can still help himself?

"I have one recommendation!" At the critical moment, Lin Chang said.

"You're talking about ......," Lu Zhaoyi asked tentatively.

"Qiu Quzi!"

Lin Chang said with a firm look in his eyes.

It was a little strange to her.

She remembered that back then, Qiu Quzi had an excellent relationship with Xia Pei, who was still the prince, and even if he was often reprimanded by Duke Wu, the prince would appear in time to maintain it.

After that, he set up a trick and caused Wu Gong to kill Yang Wenxu on the spot in Hanzhong.

How could such a person help himself and collude with the Han King?

But as her thoughts flipped around, some smiles finally appeared on her face.

"Qiu Quzi, he has a grudge against Duke Wu, presumably, he is not absolutely loyal to Xia Pei."

"Exactly."

"Then, why do you think Qiu Quzi will help me?" Lu Zhaoyi frowned.

Lin Chang raised the corners of his mouth, "The alliance leader should know that he once had a grudge against Duke Wu, and he is a person who is very easy to hold grudges. ”

Hearing this, she gradually fell into thought.

In his early years, Duke Wu was the prime minister of the former dynasty, and when he heard that Qiu Quzi was knowledgeable, he wanted to recruit him to serve in the prime minister's mansion, but he lay motionless on the bed on the grounds that he was seriously ill, and refused to take office.

After a few more years, Duke Wu was already the king of Yuan, and he sent people to forcibly recruit him, so he reluctantly entered the palace of Yedu, became the companion of the prince, and had a close relationship with Xia Pei, and finally became his right-hand man.

But over the years, Qiu Quzi has been holding back, and no one knows how much he hates Wu Gong.

Thinking of this, she smiled and lightly opened her red lips, "This matter has to be left to you to contact, if there is a result, you send someone here to reply to me." ”

"I will live up to the trust of the alliance leader!" Lin Chang was ordered to retire.

Not long after he left, Lu Zhaoyi stood up and looked at the layout and furnishings in the new residence.

She doesn't like luxury, she only loves simplicity, and the room here is also made of bamboo and wood carving, fresh and elegant.

I really don't know if Xia Pei intentionally or unintentionally, she actually picked out such a new mansion for her, and she was even more grateful in her heart.

Before you know it, it's late at night.

The drizzle was still pouring outside.

……

Early in the morning, she had finished washing up and had just changed her clothes when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" She sat at the dresser and said lazily.

The door was pushed open, and Qu Qi Niang wore a water-blue embroidered skirt, lining her skin like snow, looking gentle and beautiful, which was very different from when she first met last night.

"It's a lot better-looking, not as angry as last night, so it's in line with the state of a daughter."

Qu Qiniang bit her lip and thought about it again and again, "I've never dressed like this, I'm really not used to it." ”

"No, just dress up like this, get ready, and leave later." Lu Zhaoyi smeared powder, and his eyes were focused on the bronze mirror.

At this time, Qu Qiniang also noticed that she combed her hair into a hanging bun and wore a deep dress with a red background and black edge patterns, which looked solemn and solemn, without losing her sense of beauty.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Qu Qi Niang asked.

Lu Zhaoyi turned his head and turned back expressionlessly, "Yesterday, the military report was urgent, and His Majesty summoned the three princes and nine ministers to discuss with the generals, and the court meeting was canceled. Today, it's to make up. ”

The court clothes of the previous dynasty were all men's clothes, and she first replaced them with dark clothes, refusing to wear men's court clothes.

And the court doesn't make women's clothes, because they don't want to set this precedent, and they are sorry for the sages.

Therefore, before she appeared in the court, the battle had already begun, and each did not back down.

And when they came out of the inner court, they were greeted by servants, mothers-in-law, and maidservants.

The shadow spirit took over the mansion, and the subordinates all used her to give orders, but I heard her say, "Your Majesty announced that the courtiers entered the palace to discuss the court, and the subordinates have all been arranged, and the carriage is outside the courtyard." ”

Lu Zhaoyi responded lightly, walked steadily, held up the umbrella in one hand, and walked outside.

"You take this group of people, won't you make the palace suspicious?" Qu Qi Niang asked in her ear.
