After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Ping only felt that his head was dazed for a while.

Soon there was footsteps in the room, and he quickly ducked towards the nearby corridor.

Lu Ping didn't know how he got back into the room.

Since he was a child, although he and his younger brother were not good at martial arts, they have always been proud of their origins and having such a father who defends the family and the country.

The eldest uncle is not at home all the year round, and the eldest brother takes very good care of their brothers, and every time he gets something good, he will take the initiative to share it with them.

If he is unhappy, the eldest brother will patiently explain him.

He didn't want to practice martial arts, he just wanted to concentrate on learning, his father and mother didn't understand, it was the eldest brother who helped him recommend his husband and arranged a job for him......

Ge Shi came in from outside, he didn't know what he said, and when he saw that he had been sitting in a daze, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

"Did you hear me talking to you?"

Lu Ping came back to his senses: "Mother, what did you say?" ”

"Your father has been locking himself in his room since he came back from the palace last day, and when you go to see him, does he say anything? Is something wrong? ”

"I suddenly had some stomach pain, and I didn't have time to get over it." In the face of his mother's inquiry, he could only find an excuse to prevaricate.

Seeing that his face was indeed not very good, Ge Shi couldn't help but nag a few words: "None of you two brothers is like your eldest brother." Forget it, I'll go there myself. ”

Just as he was about to get up and leave, the little guy outside ran in in a panic: "Madam, young master, uncle was attacked last night and hasn't woken up yet." ”

"What did you say?" Lu Ping and Ge Shi got up from their seats.

Thinking of what he overheard at the door of the study before, Lu Ping pulled his legs and went to the study.

"Father!"

Lu Qi was also listening to the housekeeper's report on Lu Chong's affairs, and when he saw him rushing in recklessly, he reprimanded with a straight face: "The bigger you are, the more unruly you are, don't you know to knock on the door before entering the door?" ”

Lu Ping reversed his previous respectful attitude and asked rhetorically: "The eldest brother was assassinated last night, do you know about this father?" ”

Lu Qi glanced at the housekeeper, who understood and retreated silently.

"Father, did you do it?"

Lu Qi was furious: "What are you crazy about?" How could I have sent someone to do such a thing! ”

"Yesterday, the emperor announced that you entered the palace because of the title, right? What if you have a title or not, as long as the family is happy together, why should you be persistent, even to the death of your eldest brother! ”

It's not that he doesn't understand anything, it's just that there are some things he doesn't want to think about, and he doesn't want to think so badly of his father. As long as the family is happy, it's fine.

was poked in the pain point, Lu Qi grabbed the cup at hand and smashed it at him.

"Bastard, when will it be your turn to educate Lao Tzu!"

He and Lu Yong are twins, two people who are obviously exactly the same, why should fate be so unfair to him!

After Lu Yong's death that year, the eldest princess also passed away not long after. That's when he made a decision.

If he can inherit the title, then he will leave Lu Zhong alive, if not, then he has only a dead end.

After coming back to his senses, Lu Qi was a little happy.

The assassination had helped him so much that no one would ever suspect him.

"Use your brain, at this time, send someone to assassinate, not to tell everyone nakedly, I did this?"

Hearing him say this, Lu Ping finally put his mind at ease.

"However, the man came to the study before, and your conversation and the matter of the eldest uncle......"

Lu Qi's eyes flashed: "When did you learn to eavesdrop?" ”

Lu Ping: "Father, is this true?" ”

Lu Qi: "You'd better rot in your stomach for the rest of your life, if you don't want the whole family to die." ”

My father's attitude says it all. Lu Ping couldn't accept it for a while.

"If I hadn't given birth to you two wastes, I would have calculated so much, even at the cost of losing my legs!"

At the beginning of the battle of Quyang, in order to clear away suspicion, not to let Lu Zhong suspect him, and at the same time, to let His Majesty always remember his merits, he bravely rushed into the encirclement of the enemy army and won the final victory at the cost of his legs.

originally thought that if he paid so much, he would win a title, and then a double marquis would be a good story, and he would let go of that obsession from then on.

After all, this title was something he really earned himself.

But people are not as good as heaven, and the emperor only gave him the title of a general!

"You go down first, you are not allowed to leave the house for half a step without my permission during this time."

Lu Ping turned around and left without looking back.

Seeing that the door of the study was closed again, Lu Qi opened the dark compartment on the wall behind him and took out a pitch-black box from inside.

The Gu worm that was originally lying inside had already disappeared at this moment.

Since the thing has been done, it must be done thoroughly, and they will never try to find the mother worm.

However, in order to show his nervous concern for his nephew, who was an uncle, Lu Qi still asked people to prepare a carriage and went to the south of the city in person.

Knowing that Lu Qi was out of the house, Lu Ping hurriedly sneaked into his study.

After rummaging for a long time, I finally found something in a secret compartment somewhere in the wall......

The palace also got the news, Li Yuansheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent the best imperial doctor in the palace over, and at the same time ordered a strict investigation of the assassin last night, and it was necessary to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

Shen Yingyue couldn't help much, so she could only go to the temple with Han Ling to pray for blessings, hoping that Lu Zhong would wake up as soon as possible.

When she entered the city, she lifted the curtain and looked outside, and suddenly a familiar figure swept out of the corner of her eye.

Thinking that he had seen it wrong, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at the other party.

It seemed that he had a sense in his heart, and it happened that the other party also turned around.

The four looked at each other, and the two of them were stunned together.

"Sister Full Moon!"

When he saw her figure, Hu Dongsheng was surprised and delighted, and rushed to the carriage with an arrow.

He didn't expect to really see someone who he thought about day and night.

Shen Yingyue was also very happy to meet a familiar person, and she stepped down from the carriage.

"Sister Yingyue, it's really you!"

"Brother Dongsheng, why are you here?"

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Hu Dongsheng has grown a lot taller, faded away from his youth, and the whole person has matured a lot.

At this moment, a military uniform of the city defense battalion has added a bit of heroism.

"I also came to Kyoto not long after you left, and I am now on duty in the city defense camp."

In order to pursue Shen Yingyue, he resolutely left home and came to Kyoto, and became a soldier guarding the city gate by recruiting into the city defense camp.

When he was usually not on duty, he would ask someone to inquire about Shen Yingyue's news.

Both of them briefly talked about the recent situation, because Hu Dongsheng was on duty and couldn't leave for too long, so he anxiously advised: "The city defense battalion has been transferred in the past two days, and we will send some people to guard the inner city, and after this period of time, I will go to find you." ”

Shen Yingyue has also been in the palace for a while, and she also has a general understanding of the arrangement and deployment of troops in various places.

The one who guards the city gate is the one who guards the city gate, and the inner city is guarded by the Yulin army, and these will not change easily.

Thinking like this, she expressed the doubts in her heart.

"I don't know much about this, it seems that it was a temporary transfer to test the reflexes of the defenders, this is a secret in the army, but Sister Yingyue, you are not an outsider, so it doesn't matter."

Seeing that he was talking endlessly, his companions not far away began to urge: "Dongsheng, don't delay the others from entering the city." ”

Looking at the two carriages that were already waiting behind her, Shen Yingyue waved at him and asked the coachman to continue driving.

She didn't take the matter of meeting Hu Dongsheng seriously, and when she returned to the house, she happened to bump into Li Jingchen who came out of it.

I wanted to pretend I didn't see it, but when she turned to the left, he also stood on the left. She went to the right, and he turned to the right.

As a last resort, Shen Yingyue had no choice but to bow her head and salute: "I've seen His Royal Highness King Chen." ”

Looking at her indifferent look, Li Jingchen took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in his heart.

The two of them are obviously already there, but she is as if nothing has happened, and she is even in a hurry to clear up the relationship.

Engage yourself like a resentful woman who has been abandoned by a negative man.

"There is some change in the nearest military camp, my father urgently summoned me to come over, I may not be in the city for the past two days, I asked Ling Yun to stay in the mansion, if there is anything to do, just go to him."

Hearing that he was going to the barracks, Shen Yingyue's face finally showed a hint of relief.

But I had some bad premonitions in my heart.

"Today I met an old acquaintance, and I heard him say that there is also a change in the city defense camp, is something going to happen? I don't mean to listen, it's just that my brother-in-law has such a thing, and you have to leave again, so you must pay attention to safety. ”

Shen Yingyue still wanted to explain, but when she saw Li Jingchen's thoughtful expression, she stopped talking very interestingly.

"You said that there is a change in the city defense battalion, is the news reliable?"

The commander of the city defense battalion is King Ning's person, if it weren't for the danger of the imperial city, the city defense battalion would not change easily.

Shen Yingyue saw that his face was solemn and knew that things were not simple, so she said what Hu Dongsheng said again.

"I'll go to the palace, you take care of yourself, and try not to go out for the next two days."

Li Jingchen said and quickly turned to leave.
