For a while, Lu Zhaoyi was speechless, realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and immediately gritted his teeth in frustration.

The only one in the world who knows this matter best is Gou Chenzi, but she is not Gou Chenzi on the surface at the moment, but the seventh mother of the Lu family, how can she know such a major secret matter?

"Minister...... It's the teacher, and occasionally mentions it......" She hung her head weakly, not daring to look at him.

When Xia Pei heard this, a cold touch crossed his eyes, and he approached her step by step, until he forced her into a corner, and then gritted his teeth and spoke, "Military advisor? I also want to ask Mrs. Lu, since you returned to Beijing this time, have you ever returned to Gouchen Courtyard? I've been there twice, and there's only Shadow Cloud in the entire courtyard, but is there anyone else?"

Lu Zhaoyi's back was against the cold wall, and she felt a little weak all over, but she still bit her lip and shook her head.

"Minister, I don't understand what His Majesty is talking about!"

She shook her head, thinking secretly in her heart, and blamed herself for transferring most of the guards from the courtyard, but she never worried about what others would find in the courtyard.

Shadow Cloud is the top master of the Shadow Moon Guard, and at the same time, the people guarding around the courtyard also have their own skills, if there is any abnormal movement, I am afraid that they will be discovered by them long ago.

As for the other shadow guards, even if they really found something, they didn't dare to act rashly, after all, their mission was to protect the shadow rain disguised as Gou Chenzi and ensure that the secret was not leaked.

Knowing this, she quickly returned to her usual routine and looked up at Xia Pei.

"If there is nothing else, please return to the palace......

However, Xia Pei was dumbfounded, lowered his eyebrows and sneered, "Hehe, don't you want to tell me? If you tell the truth, I can help you hide your secrets......

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, and suddenly tightened it, pressing her whole body against the wall, a pair of dark eyes staring into her eyes.

Looking at this hungry gaze, burning like flames, it seemed that it wanted to burn her to the ground.

Lu Zhaoyi was shocked, struggled repeatedly, couldn't break free, tilted his head, and looked to the side, "Your Majesty said that you won't use force!"

The first time was in the county hall of Junyu County, Huainan County, and that time was the first time Xia Pei confessed his heart to her; The second time was in the East Palace half a month ago, and he clearly proposed that he would not force her.

Perhaps in order to keep his promise, Xia Pei, who heard this, let go and slowly took a few steps back.

The two of them gradually turned red, avoiding each other's eyes, and a little later, he secretly turned his head to look at her, "Lu Niangzi, I can ignore many things, but ......

"But what?"

Lu Zhaoyi frowned, I don't know why he was suddenly so solemn.

"I hope you don't hide anything from me......

Her brow furrowed deeper and deeper, what did he want to know from her mouth? Or had he already guessed that she was Gou Chenzi?

A man's mind, how can she guess a woman?

It's just that......

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and there are many things that I cannot control. All I can do is to cause as little trouble as possible to Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhaoyi's tone was indifferent, and he still lowered his head, "So, please don't think too much ......about it, Your Majesty."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

It's just that she hasn't walked a few steps before she hears Xia Pei shouting at her.

"Seven Ladies ......"

Lu Zhaoyi's footsteps faltered, and when he looked back, he saw that he was still standing in place.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is there anything else?"

Xia Pei hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I want to know, if you are Gou Chenzi, how to deal with the Yongzhou grain greed for ink this time?"

Is this a request for advice from her?

The words entered his ears, and Lu Zhaoyi, who shook his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, how can I be Gou Chenzi?" I am me, he is him......"

"But if Your Majesty wants to listen to me, then tomorrow I will have someone present a recital, and Your Majesty will take a look at ......" After speaking, he ignored him and left directly.

Her back quickly disappeared into the night, and Xia Pei remained motionless

Standing in place, it seemed to be mixed, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and whispered.

"I know, if you weren't Gou Chenzi, who else would be?"

With the Drifting Snow Tower and the branches and rudders of the Tianxia Alliance quietly entering Luojing, the situation in Beijing has quietly changed.

However, everything was extremely calm, no different from usual, and no one took action, just waiting for the shadow wind in Guanzhong and the shadow spirit in Hedong County to bring back the news, and then after learning about the situation in Northern Jingzhou with Qiu Quzi, they needed Lu Zhaoyi's order to start their actions.

On the second day of the opening of Fengmanlou, Lu Zhaoyi and Yun Zhi had already met near the Fangmen in Buguangli, and the two rushed to Qiu's house together.

"How long are you going to stay in Luojing this time?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

Yun Wei was tired all the way, and when he came to Luojing this time, he was naturally tired from running around, "I don't have anything to worry about in my hometown, so let's live in Luojing for a long time!"

"When the lord was alive, you said that you would never set foot in the court of the Yuan Kingdom for the rest of your life; Now that your lord has passed away, you have changed your character."

"Everyone has their own aspirations......

"You're being blunt."

While talking, the two of them had already come to the door of Qiu's house, which was also the second time Lu Zhaoyi had come here.

Last time, because the Qiu family held a banquet, she didn't take a good look at this mansion, but this time it was the first time to take a serious look at the whole picture of this mansion.

Look at this Qiu family, although it is not magnificent, but also has ingenuity, the buildings in the courtyard are all made of simple and exquisite carved wood, it seems quite stylish, in front of the door a towering ancient cypress, the branches are luxuriant, the sky is blocked tightly, it seems, there is a sense of depression.

It can be seen that the Qiu family is low-key.

At the door, there were two servants, and when they saw Lu Zhaoyi and Yun Zhi, they all bowed and saluted.

"Mrs. Lu and Mr. Yun, the second master has been waiting in the hall for a long time, so come with me......

She was slightly stunned, and quickly regained her composure, perhaps, Qiu Quzi has also been waiting for her to come to the door.

"Please lead the way!"

She bowed her head lightly, and entered Qiu's mansion side by side with Yun Zhi, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she saw that in the hall, Qiu Quzi was sitting upright with his eyes closed in a black robe, seemingly calm, but the anger between his eyebrows could not be hidden.

"Qiu Zhongcheng, I haven't seen you for a few months, don't come unharmed!" Lu Zhaoyi stepped forward and smiled slightly.

The two have not met since they first faced each other more than three months ago.

Qiu Quzi raised his eyes, glanced at her, and then looked at Yun Value, a little surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got up to greet him.

"Brother!"

His voice was full of excitement, and even a little trembling.

Yun Wei returned the salute, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed, the two of them had not seen each other for four years since they parted ways.

Lu Zhaoyi stood behind them, seeing that the two had reunited after a long absence, he also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, but soon, he suppressed this strange feeling.

Seeing that the two of them were so excited, she silently observed a few times on the side, and finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"You two don't have to be too polite, there will be opportunities in the future."

After all, she couldn't help but interrupt, "The purpose of my coming this time, Qiu Zhongcheng is afraid that he also guessed it, right?"

As soon as she said a word, the expressions on Qiu Quzi and Yun Wei's faces immediately stiffened.

Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, not knowing how the two of them reacted.

"Yesterday, I heard that Brother Shi gave a lecture at the altar in Fengmanlou, and I thought it was just a gimmick, but I never thought it was true. Brother Shi is coming to Luojing this time, aren't you leaving?"

Yun Zhi's eyes sank slightly, and his chin bowed, "Presumably Brother Shi should have heard that I have joined the Drifting Snow Building, right?"

"Not bad!" Qiu Quzi lowered his eyes and responded indifferently.

After a long time, Qiu Quzi came back to his senses, and his eyes were opposite to Yun Zhi, "Since Brother Shi is already here, you might as well take a rest here, and after lunch, let's talk about this matter in detail, right?"

"The last time Mrs. Lu came to the house, Neiko has been thinking about you since then, why don't you go to the backyard to catch up with my wife first?"

"Okay!" Lu Zhaoyi nodded, turned his head and instructed Yun Zhi, "The teacher stays here to chat with Qiu Zhongcheng for a while, and I'll go to the backyard to see Mrs. Zhao."

She left first and went straight to the backyard.

As she walked through the corridor, she saw a woman in the distance, muttering while washing clothes.

「…… These slaves and maids have to be lazy even to wash their clothes......

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but stop, this is Qiu Quzi's virtuous helper, Mrs. Zhao.

This Mrs. Zhao fought the sword world when she was young, loved to dance with knives and guns, and then married into the Qiu family, and has been teaching her husband and children in the family, no longer showing her face, and now she is past middle age, just from the outline, it can be seen that she must have been a rare beauty embryo.

"Mrs. Zhao is obviously in charge of the housework herself, and she still complains that her subordinates are lazy, and how can she let her subordinates find a job?"

Lu Zhaoyi raised her voice to joke, and Mrs. Zhao heard the prestige and saw her at a glance.

"Ah, it's you, come here!" She greeted with a smile and reached out to wipe her soapy hands, "You girl, you actually came to the house, why didn't you say hello to me earlier?"

Lu Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "Mrs. Zhao said that she laughed, how can a junior like me disturb your purity, so don't alarm you."

"You girl, you're really sharp-toothed......

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Zhao pulled Lu Zhaoyi all the way into the courtyard, sat down on the edge of her bed in the inner room, and brought tea to her.

"How long have you been back in Luojing? I've heard that the emperor sent you to the three counties of Beiyang to relieve the disease, and also put an end to the Jiangzuo rebel forces, and you are the only one in the world who can do this!"

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's gushing words, Lu Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that this lady had also been a heroine, so naturally she didn't have to avoid it too much.

Immediately, she told Mrs. Zhao everything that had happened in the past few months.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that Lu Zhaoyi was besieged and assassinated in Junyu County, she was shocked.

"This ...... This ......," she stuttered for a moment, "and you, have you ever been hurt?"

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head, "It's okay, after all, the black-armored iron guards are invincible and can't hurt me, but the death of those people is too cheap."

"Yes! It's so cheap for them!" When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she immediately became indignant, "These thieves really deserve to die. It's not an exaggeration to kill so many Huainan people!"
