Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lu Guogong

Li Zhen and Zhang Zichen chatted for a long time in the study, chatting about many details, after all, Li Zhen left the imperial capital for four years, so most of them were Zhang Zichen giving advice, which shows that he has not been idle in the past four years.

Approaching dawn, Li Zhen said goodbye and left.

"Things will be done according to Uncle Zhang's wishes, I will only ask about the affairs in the court, and I will wait for good news."

Li Zhen said.

Zhang Zichen stopped Li Zhen and asked, "Does Your Highness have a place to go in the capital?" If not, it is better to stay in a cold house temporarily, and safety can be guaranteed. ”

"Thank you for your concern! I don't have to worry about my safety, Uncle Zhang, besides, I have to meet someone. ”

"One more person? Who to meet? ”

Li Zhen's important supporter back then, he is the only one who is still in the capital now, who else can he meet?

"Lu Guogong Cheng Zhi Festival!"

Li Zhen said with a little coldness in his voice.

When Zhang Zichen heard this, his heart was shocked.

Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu Guo, was born in the army, and now controls the guarding power of the imperial capital, with a high position and power, and the emperor's grace is flourishing, in addition, he also has an identity, the father-in-law of the crown prince Li Xuan.

When Li Zhen was about to live in the East Palace, his father intended to give Li Zhen a marriage when he was officially canonized, and the candidate at that time was Cheng Hao, the daughter of Lu Guogong, but the Wu Gu case broke out, Li Zhen lost power, and finally Cheng Hao married the current prince Li Xuan.

Lu Guogong not only controlled the guard force of the imperial capital, but also had many protégés and former officials in the army, and if he could be loyal, it would be equivalent to the support of many generals.

Li Zhen not only has to take the shadow guard of the crown prince Li Xuan, but also dig up the army strength he relies on the most, and when the time comes, with Zhang Zichen contacting Wenchen, the three-pronged approach will be successful.

"Lu Guogong has been promoted to a robbery immortal in recent years, and his strength is not trivial, if His Highness goes to see him, be careful."

Zhang Zichen kindly reminded.

"A robbery?"

When Li Zhen heard this, he said disdainfully: "In my eyes, only the Three Tribulation Human Immortals can make me use some means to capture the Human Immortals with one Tribulation." ”

Zhang Zichen was shocked when he heard this, some time ago he only heard that Li Zhen had recovered from his fall, and he had an adventure, and his cultivation was greatly advanced, could it be that he was now a two-robber immortal?

How is this possible?!

Before Li Zhen left, he said, "Uncle Zhang! Now the only opponent I can face up to is the strong in the realm. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen turned around and left, Zhang Zichen knew Li Zhen and knew that he could speak like this, and he was definitely not talking big.

"The sleepy dragon has ascended to heaven!"

Zhang Zichen sighed with emotion, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Before, he had to get by, but now he has rekindled his fighting spirit.

"Okay, I didn't move."

Zhang Zichen muttered, and then sat down at the desk and began to write letters.

······································

After Li Zhen left Zhang's mansion, he took advantage of the night to return to the inn, and he began to retreat again, waiting for the night to come.

It is too dangerous to move during the day, and it is safer to come at night, although he is strong, but he has not lost his cautiousness.

Recently, Li Zhen has been hoping to be promoted to the peak of the True Yuan Realm as soon as possible, but he is entangled in the world, although he has made progress, it is difficult to break through, he is ready to do what he should do in the past few days, and then conduct a long period of retreat and be promoted to cultivation.

After a day without words, when night fell, Li Zhen acted again, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and walked towards the Lu Guogong Mansion.

Lu Guogong is a veteran in the army, with profound qualifications and a grand mansion, which is by no means comparable to Zhang Zichen's mansion.

Although it was late at night, the Lu Guogong Mansion was still brightly lit, and there was constant laughter and laughter, and it seemed that there was something happy in the Guogong Mansion today.

Li Zhen avoided the guards, approached the hall, and found that Lu Guogong's family was gathered together, and they were happy, it turned out that his youngest daughter Cheng Hao had returned with the imperial grandson.

Cheng Hagi was born in a general, tall, handsome, with three points of heroism, when he was not married, he often cleaned up the children in the capital, and was an out-and-out heroine among women.

Cheng Hao can be regarded as one of Li Zhen's playmates when he was a child, and he has a good impression of him, but now things are wrong, and in terms of position, he is already an enemy.

In dealing with the enemy, Li Zhen has never shown mercy to his subordinates.

Li Zhen quietly waited for them to leave, and at the same time knew in his heart that he would not be able to enjoy such a family pleasure as the Lu Guogong Mansion for long.

About half an hour later, the banquet ended, everyone went back to the room to rest, Lu Guogong also went back to bed with his wife, Li Zhen saw this, left first, and waited in the bedroom.

When the prince and his wife returned to the dormitory, they saw Li Zhen smiling at them.

"Master Cheng! Long time no see. ”

Li Zhen said politely.

Duke Lu and his wife are both people who are used to seeing strong winds and waves, and they didn't recognize Li Zhen at first, but when they came to their senses, they hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Zhen?!"

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down, as if they were the guests.

Lu Guogong's face gradually became solemn, blocked his wife behind him, and said: "His Royal Highness Zhen came to visit late at night, and he didn't say hello in advance, so that he could prepare more as a courtier, so as not to ............."

"Don't think about reporting the news, and don't think about running away, since Your Highness dares to appear here, he has his own means to deal with you."

Li Zhen suddenly interrupted his words and motioned for him to sit again.

Lu Guogong's face was gloomy, and he pulled his wife to sit opposite Li Zhen.

"I came here this time to say hello to Lu Guogong, I am ready to take revenge, treat the prince and the queen to death, and I am here to let you make a new choice."

Li Zhen was calm and relaxed, and said confidently.

Lu Guogong and his wife were shocked when they heard this, and the two subconsciously thought that Li Zhen was talking big.

Today's Li Zhen is avoiding trouble in Qingyuanmen, if it weren't for the Qingyuan Gate, I'm afraid his life would have been lost, where would he have the confidence to take revenge?

"Humph! I will assume that His Royal Highness Zhen has not come, nor have I listened to His Royal Highness's words, His Royal Highness Zhen will go! ”

Lu Guogong stood up abruptly and said sternly.

"Oh? Master Cheng is planning to tie up with the crown prince and the queen? ”

Li Zhen turned a blind eye to Lu Guogong's anger.

Lu Guogong's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he made a brazen move, wanting to take Li Zhen down.

"Since His Royal Highness Zhen will not leave, then the prince will take you down for the following crimes and hand them over to the crown prince for disposal!"

Lu Guogong also knew about Li Zhen in recent years, and knew that Li Zhen had re-entered the True Yuan Realm, but he was confident that he would take it down, after all, he was a robbery immortal. For the sake of insurance, he decided to take Li Zhen by means of a sneak attack, after all, since Li Zhen dared to come, he must rely on it, and a head-to-head fight was far less secure than a sneak attack.

Lu Guogong was born in the army, and his means were wide open and powerful.

Li Zhen didn't dodge or dodge, and let Lu Guogong hit him.

Seeing this, Lu Guogong was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his sneak attack strategy was successful, but Li Zhen did not react at all. However, when he smashed his fist on Li Zhen, Li Zhen not only did not move a single bit, but also remained unharmed, and he felt bad in his heart.

Seeing this, Lu Guogong hurriedly retreated, and his heart was full of fear.

A dignified robbery of human immortals, the power of a punch is even a second robbery immortal, Li Zhen not only did it, but also looked relaxed and abnormal, as if this punch was not hit on his body.

Li Zhen patted the place where Lu Guogong hit, his movements were chic, his breath was calm, and a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Stand and let you fight, just this little power?!"

Li Zhen moved his arm and sneered: "You don't want to be the minister of the dragon, but you want to be a slave who obeys orders, since this is the case, as you wish." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen unleashed a shocking fist and blasted towards Lu Guogong with a punch.

"Oops!"

Lu Guogong felt that Li Zhen's fist was extremely strong, and he was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to escape, but unfortunately in front of Li Zhen, where could he escape?

Li Zhen slammed his fist into Lu Guogong's chest, he was not knocked out, his whole body suffered heavy injuries, and he knelt directly on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, shocking.

"Ah......h

Seeing this, the Duchess screamed, but as soon as she was halfway through the words, Li Zhen slapped her in the air and directly knocked her unconscious.

Seeing this, Lu Guogong was extremely angry, but at this moment he couldn't do anything.

Li Zhen didn't talk nonsense with him, and suddenly attacked his heart, planted a 'life-binding spell', and said: "Now that your life and death are in the hands of this prince's thoughts, let's talk about what you said just now, are you willing to help this prince deal with the prince?" ”

Li Zhen stood in front of Lu Guogong, condescendingly, and asked.

"Attacking and threatening important officials of the court without authorization is a big crime, if the Holy Lord knows, he will definitely not spare you."

Lu Guogong scolded.

When Li Zhen heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his murderous intent was revealed, and he suddenly made a move, grabbed Lu Guogong's neck with one hand, and lifted him up.

"If you don't submit to me, do you think you'll have a chance to meet your father? Or do you think I won't dare to slaughter you, and the Mansion of Lu Guogong is full of doors?! ”

Lu Guogong felt suffocated, listened to Li Zhen's words, felt a strong murderous intent, and was sure that Li Zhen would definitely do what he said, at this moment he already knew that he had no bargaining qualifications, and if he wanted to live, he wanted to keep the family, so he had to obey orders.

"I am willing to surrender to His Highness!"

For the sake of his family and the Lu Guogong Mansion, Lu Guogong finally chose to compromise.

Li Zhen threw it on the ground and said, "Don't think about lifting my control over you, now Li Xuan's master, the ghost ancestor, is also controlled by me, so be an obedient old dog, and after I take revenge, I may give the Lu Guogong Mansion a way to live." ”

When Lu Guogong heard this, his heart was shocked!

Li Zhen actually knew about the ghost ancestor?

The entire Huaguo Imperial Court knew about this matter with no more than one hand, and he actually controlled the ghost ancestor, how could this be possible?

Li Zhen saw the doubts in Lu Guogong's heart, and sneered: "Tomorrow I will let the ghost ancestor come to see you, and he will give you orders on how to act after that." ”

When Lu Guogong heard this, he completely believed Li Zhen's words.

The ghost ancestor was really controlled, or the ghost ancestor took refuge in Li Zhen.

If this is the case, the prince is in danger!

Lu Guogong is not loyal to the crown prince, only because his youngest daughter married the prince, for the glory of the family, for the glory and wealth, so he fully supported it, but now that there is a change, then Lu Guogong will definitely choose to betray for himself and his family.

However, what he didn't know was that if he hadn't made a move to Li Zhen just now, Li Zhen would have spared his life, and even let him go because of his status in the court, but he actually attacked and wanted to take down Li Zhen, so the situation changed.

Lu Guogong has been sentenced to death in advance.

After Li Zhen surrendered to Lu Guogong, he did not stay for long and left the Guogong Mansion directly.

At this point, Li Zhen's two important purposes of coming to the imperial capital have been achieved, and then he needs to lie dormant for a period of time, and also give Lu Guogong and Zhang Zichen time to operate.

After Li Zhen left, Lu Guogong sat on the ground with his buttocks, at this time he was seriously injured and extremely weak, and at the same time, thinking of Li Zhen's words, not only did his back feel cold.

I heard that he had an adventure before, but what kind of adventure he had, his strength was so good, and the ghost ancestor was a strong person in the realm who had to surrender, it was really terrifying. ’

That night, Li Zhen met the ghost ancestor again, explained many things, and then left Donghua City at night and opened a cave on a hill outside the city.

Early the next morning, the Ghost Ancestor Yolu met at one of the Shadow Guard's strongholds.

After Lu Guogong received the news, he really confirmed that the ghost ancestor had taken refuge in Li Zhen.

Although the two don't see each other often, they also know each other's position next to the prince, and Lu Guogong is still very polite when he sees the ghost ancestor, after all, he is a strong man in the realm, and as for the identity of the demon dao, he directly ignores it.

"The young master went to look for you last night?!"

The Ghost Ancestor said with a smile on his face.

Young master?

When Lu Guogong heard this title, he understood that the relationship between the ghost ancestor and Li Zhen was far deeper than he imagined.

"Don't be embarrassed, in the future, you and I will unite the front to serve the young master, and when the prince and queen are eliminated, the young master will definitely have a great reward."

When Lu Guogong heard this, he smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to answer, he was still a little uncomfortable with the change of identity.

"Next, the young master needs you to do something."

The Ghost Ancestor immediately ordered: "Your troops have infiltrated many of the prince's descendants, and the young master has ordered you to secretly empty the power of these people, and when necessary, directly eradicate them, but this requires the young master's order." ”

On the way to Lu Guogong, he had already thought about what Li Zhen needed him to do, and he had been an official for many years, and he still had this political consciousness.

"At this time, I will do so, but I just hope that when His Royal Highness Zhen is liquidated in the future, I also hope to keep my daughter and ......."

Lu Guogong stopped halfway through his words, he wanted to say that he would spare his daughter and grandson, but thinking that his grandson was the emperor's grandson, Li Zhen would definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so the word grandson was not spoken.

"Haha! Don't think too much, do things well, you can't guarantee that your Guogong Mansion can still escape, if it is not good, I'm afraid the old man will have to go to the Guogong Mansion in person. ”

The Ghost Ancestor sneered.

Lu Guogong swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to answer.

······································ ……

"Within a month, you must be promoted to the peak of the True Yuan!"

Now that everything is under control, and it is also developing in the direction he expected, after Li Zhen arranged the retreat, he felt at ease to hit the peak of the true yuan.
