Outside the Changle Palace, several soldiers and eunuchs stood outside the door, waiting for Lu Zhaoyi to appear.

These soldiers are all dressed in military uniforms, with swords at their waists, tall and burly, with a pair of eyes, indifferent and resolute.

Within a while, Lu Zhaoyi led his subordinates to greet him together, with a solemn expression, and his posture and demeanor remained dignified, "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way."

The eunuch nodded and smiled, "You're polite, Mrs. Lu, the family is also on an errand for Your Majesty, and it should be."

"Then please invite your father-in-law to come in and take a break, Qi Niang will arrange a banquet for hospitality, you will travel all the way from Luojing, and you also need to rest, and Qi Niang will take the edict again?"

The eunuch shook his head and hurriedly stopped, "No need, the He family thanked Lu Niangzi for her kindness, but His Majesty ordered that after the edict was announced, they would rush back to Luojing immediately."

The group walked into the courtyard and saw the yellow cloth packages in the hands of the soldiers at a glance.

Several soldiers stepped forward and respectfully handed it to Lu Zhaoyi, "Your Majesty asked me to bring this and present it to Lu Niangzi, Lu Niangzi, please accept it!"

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoyi took it and opened the yellow cloth package, which contained a thick stack of books and a letterhead.

The letterhead reads: Lu Qi Niang personally opened. The last paragraph reads, the fifth Langya four words.

Her eyes moved, and she turned to the soldiers and eunuchs to bless her body, stepped aside, and opened the letterhead.

As soon as I opened it, there were only two words in it, "Quick Retreat".

She knew that this was the first time that the Fifth Langya had made such a direct proposal, and it could also show that the danger in Guanzhong this time was extraordinary.

She took back the letterhead, walked back again, and bowed to the eunuch and Luo Jing's soldiers in a dignified manner, "Please also ask the father-in-law to announce the edict!"

After some etiquette, Lu Zhaoyi led his subordinates, in the main hall of the palace, the eunuch stood on the top, and Lu Zhaoyi and others were at the bottom, bowing to the head, doing it, waiting for the call.

"I hereby take the seventh mother of the Lu family in Yedu, Hebei, and grant the election of the nine products to enter the court to discuss the proceedings, and now, the official is demoted to the county lieutenant of Shangluo County...... The governance of the county lies in the provincial body and morality, and it is my original intention to be the deputy official of the county, and to protect the clarity of the people in the county......

After listening to the whole article, this letter of advice was really to rush her to the county to take office, instead of entangled with these scholars in Chang'an City.

Finally, Xia Pei also knew about the situation in Chang'an City, and next, he needed to come forward as an emperor to completely crush these rebels.

Only then did she think that if it was a simple corruption case, the imperial court would generally send an envoy to the state and county to investigate.

If necessary, Xia Pei, as the emperor, will send a general in the army to send troops to suppress it, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe!

Lu Zhaoyi secretly slandered herself, her face did not show it at all, she took the edict, got up and asked softly, "I don't know, which general did Your Majesty send to Guanzhong this time?"

The eunuch suddenly lowered his head, and he was hesitant, unable to say anything.

This move really made the people present realize that something was wrong.

And Lu Zhaoyi, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his voice was a lot colder, "Could it be that Your Majesty is a pro-Zheng?"

Immediately, the eunuch seemed to slip under his feet, as if he couldn't stand steadily, and his expression was panicked, "Your Majesty has indeed personally led the army and crossed Pubanjin, and at this moment it has arrived at the city of Linjin in Feng Yi County."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes flashed with surprise, "Your Majesty personally led the army to cross the river?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

Pubanjin, located between Feng Yi and Hedong County, across this place, is to enter the boundary of Feng Yi, obviously, Xia Pei's move is also very clear, to find trouble with the Wang family.

If it is according to the regular marching speed, it will take about half a month to go back and forth from Chang'an.

That also shows that Xia Pei was ready to drive the expedition as early as half a month, when she was still trapped in the Chang'an arsenal, representing that he was already on the way to the west.

Lu Zhaoyi's mind flashed, and many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and in the end, she couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty's move is also to get the captain

Guidance?"

The eunuch nodded, "Half a month ago, the fifth lieutenant entered the palace to face the saint, presented His Majesty with evidence of Feng Yiwang's rebellion, and proposed that His Majesty personally recruit ......."

"However, the words of the Fifth Lieutenant, I'm afraid that they can't completely make Your Majesty trust." She took over the conversation and responded.

The fifth Langya, as the prime minister of the former Lingguo, has been idle since the opening of the dynasty, and rarely asks about the affairs of the court, Xia Pei faces such a talented person, thinking that he misses the old country and will not believe it completely.

"Back to Lu Niangzi, the He family was entrusted by His Majesty to come to move the decree, His Majesty said that you should not reveal too much to you, and the You family only said a word, and then went back to resume their lives."

She bowed her head and listened, she also knew that Xia Pei's mind was not difficult for the eunuch who passed the decree in front of her.

"Your Majesty was alone with the Fifth Lieutenant for half an hour, and no one else witnessed it, and then Your Majesty came out and was about to lead his troops to the battle."

"Your Majesty's thoughts, who can fathom them? However, since this matter was ordered by His Majesty himself, Presumably His Majesty must be confident, and Lu Niangzi can rest assured."

"In that case, Qi Niang, thank you father-in-law."

"Don't dare, Lu Niangzi doesn't have to be polite, this is a matter within the slave's share, and I also ask Lu Niangzi to go to Shangluo as soon as possible to take office in accordance with Your Majesty's will, and leave the matter of Chang'an to Your Majesty, right?"

"Then, Qi Niang will leave first, and don't send it."

Seeing the back of the herald leaving, Lu Zhaoyi felt a touch of uneasiness in his heart.

Xia Pei's thoughts, she is becoming more and more unpredictable, if Xia Pei really wants to go to Feng Yi in person to crusade against the Wang family, it will inevitably be a bloody storm.

What's more, in the two counties of Northland and Anding, there are also refugees from the merged states.

She couldn't help but think of that person, the man who had been hidden behind the scenes, making it impossible to guess.

On this day, the sky was overcast, as if it would rain at any moment.

Lu Zhaoyi fidgeted in the palace, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

At this moment, Qu Zhiyun on the side brought tea and water, suddenly approached her ear, and muttered softly, "Lu Niangzi, it looks like spring is about to begin, and it looks like it's more lively outside, why don't we take advantage of tonight, let's leave for Shangluo, go shopping on the street, and enjoy the scenery of Chang'an City, how about it?"

Qu Zhiyun's original intention was to take her out for a walk, but she was not interested, still sitting by the window, looking up in a daze.

Seeing this, she walked over, gently closed the window door, and turned her head, her eyes stayed on Lu Zhaoyi's face, as if she was looking at something.

Lu Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, raised his head, looked at her four eyes, and in a blink of an eye, the rain outside was fluttering and sprinkling, gradually falling, and soon, the sound of rain outside crackled.

She thought about it, and frowned slightly, "Look, it's raining, what else are you going to visit?"

「……」

There was silence for a while, and the two looked at each other in the sound of the rain.

After a while, Qu Zhiyun came back to her senses and smiled slowly, "You haven't decided yet, do you want to listen to Your Majesty's will, leave Chang'an, and go to Shangluo to take office?"

She didn't admit it, she didn't deny it.

"Zhiyun, Your Majesty only asked me to go to Shangluo, I didn't say it, you all have to go with me, right?"

"That's what I said. But if you really think about it, when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame, how will you refute it?"

Qu Zhiyun looked a little worried, looked at her, and couldn't understand it for a while.

"Tomorrow, I will rush to Shangluo with the Black Armor Guard, and if anything happens during this period, I will send someone from the helm of Piaoxue Tower to keep in touch with me."

"Good!" Qu Zhiyun knew that from the very beginning, there were many doubts about this matter, and it was also very related to Lu Yong's death back then.

She won't let go of this matter so easily, or will she be determined to investigate.

"Zhiyun, you go down first. I want to be alone and quiet."

Lu Zhaoyi said that she was weak, and she was even more anxious in her heart, and she couldn't accept Xia Pei's edict.

Later that day, just as the shadow guards and black armor guards of Changle Palace were packing up their things, Yang Xian finally came and wanted to ask to see Lu Zhaoyi.

"Let him in."

Lu Zhaoyi instructed the shadow spirit, "Yang Xian, this person, should have talked to him in person a long time ago."

The shadow spirit took the order, turned around and went out, and then led Yang Xian into the hall.

Soon, the door closes, and Shadowling retreats.

Only Lu Zhaoyi and Yang Xian were left here, facing each other.

"Yang Xian, you're here to be a lobbyist for King Han, right?"

He smiled lightly, "The Seventh Lady said this, it's too out-of-the-box, right? King Han and the Seventh Lady, you, are also allies, aren't you?"

"That's right, allies." Lu Zhaoyi's face did not change, "So, I will give Tongguan away, and let you take charge of Chang'an City, right now, in the city, most of the people related to the Wei family are in your hands, and I haven't given enough steps?"

Every word she spoke, often accompanied by a heart-rending tone, as if she was complaining about their use of herself, and she tolerated it again and again until she could no longer bear it.

Hearing this, Yang Xian sighed, "Your Highness's thoughts, how could the Seventh Lady not know? However, what we are planning only ends there, and will not go any further. Seven Ladies, you should know."

"I know, from the very beginning, when Yang Cheng sent you and Yang Ben to go on the road with me, I guessed your plan. The Yang family's foundation is in Hongnong County, if you want to expand the power of the Yang family, you must seek a larger territory and more resources, and Chang'an City has always belonged to your plan."

"You're right. This matter has nothing to do with Deputy Hall Master Yang, it is the idea of my uncle Yang Cheng."

She had already guessed that Yang Wenxu had been in Luojing all the year round, and she didn't care much about Hongnong's affairs, and since she became the deputy hall master of Zuoqin Hall, she was even more worried, on the one hand, she had to be wary of Xia Sheng's key news in the hall. There must not be much energy to plan all this.

That could only be Yang Cheng's idea.

"Your purpose has been achieved, from now on, I have nothing to do with King Han, and in the future, your Yang family will have nothing to do with my world alliance."

"Seven Ladies, please think twice!" Yang Xian's eyes were full of longing.

Lu Zhaoyi turned around, and when he was about to leave, he remembered something again, and turned back to ask, "Let me ask you, my cousin, the eldest daughter of the Cui family, is her death related to my cousin Cui Erniang?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xian's face showed a look of surprise.

I can't complain that Lu Zhaoyi guessed so, when Cui Erniang and Xia Sheng appeared in Chang'an at the same time, she had a guess in her heart.
