Tonight, Luoyang City is very lively, ordinary people also heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the street, there is a family very close to the street did not close the window, the children of the family pointed to a group of soldiers riding horses on the street outside the window, looked at the parents in the room and asked:

"Dad, why are there so many people outside tonight, is Luoyang City going to war? Or are they arresting fugitives? ”

The man whom he had called his father hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, then hurriedly went over and lowered the window, locked the door again, and ordered his child to go to bed early:

"Don't worry so much, you just sleep your way."

At the end, he said to his wife on the side: "It seems that there is not peace in Luoyang City tonight. ”

Listening to the sounds outside, you know that the city is full of storms outside.

Here, Lu Changfeng had already led troops to surround Xue's mansion, Xue Xiang was dressed and walked out of the main gate to confront him, Xue Xiang looked at the officers and soldiers who surrounded him in a hurry, and saw that they were all riding on horses, holding torches in their hands, and Lu Changfeng was the leader, so he rode a horse and stood at the front.

"I don't know what General Lu means?"

Lu Changfeng glanced at him condescendingly: "I am on the order of His Royal Highness King Ming to arrest the mastermind behind the scenes, Xue Xiang, it is Changfeng who has offended a lot today." ”

Xue Xiang frowned: "What is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Would you like to ask General Lu to make his words clearer? Why are you under the orders of His Royal Highness King Ming? Where will you put His Majesty's orders in Luoyang City! I, Xue Tian, am the prime minister of one dynasty, and I am the official of the imperial court personally appointed by His Majesty, without His Majesty's order, how dare you use troops without authorization! ”

He was quite right, according to common sense, without the orders of their majesty, they really could not use troops without their own orders.

But the current situation is outside of common sense.

Lu Changfeng condescendingly looked at Xiao Xiang in front of him on horseback, just like looking at a cute child, in front of the civil servants who have no military power, the truth is sometimes nothing, but unfortunately they don't even understand this truth, and they dare to always make stumbling behind their highness's back.

Lu Changfeng opened his mouth and said, "Hasn't the Prime Minister seen the situation clearly now? If you feel that you have been wronged, you might as well go with me to the prison to cry out. ”

Xue Xiang heard this and said angrily: "You-"

"Are you going to rebel?"

Lu Changfeng said in his heart, yes, he really wanted to rebel, and it was all on the surface, and he couldn't see it when he was old.

Lu Changfeng grabbed the horse rope on the horse's back, waved one hand forward, and the soldiers behind him immediately understood, turned over and dismounted, and tied up Xue Xianghuada.

"Lu Changfeng! Xiao Ce! You rebels and thieves! Without His Majesty's order, how dare you casually tie up the court officials! Rebels and thieves like you will not end well! ”

As he was dragged farther and farther, his voice became smaller and smaller, and the soldiers who followed on the side lowered their voices and asked Lu Changfeng, who was walking in the front:

"General, we've already tied up the people, what are we going to do next?"

Lu Changfeng responded: "Next, just listen to His Highness's orders, His Highness said not to hurt his life, but he shouted like this, it was really harsh to listen to, first find something to plug his mouth." ”

"Yes."

Here Li Hanning and Lu Changfeng have both returned to the Ming Palace, the Ming Palace's Mansion is brightly lit tonight, here Li Hanning has already caught the man in black who is about to get on the boat, and Lu Changfeng has also caught Xue Xiang over there.

According to Xiao Ce's original plan, Feng Zhe over there had already called the soldiers of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, and the next step was the Prince's Mansion. However, at present, the entire Luoyang City has been under martial law, and whether the Prince's Mansion is encircled or not is actually the same, because Xiao Sheng is unable to fly tonight.

Lu Changfeng reminded on the side: "Right now, the news that Xue Mansion is besieged should have spread, I'm afraid the prince's side will know soon." ”

Xiao Ce didn't hope that this matter could be hidden from him for a long time, and his eldest brother would know sooner or later:

"He knows it, he knows, right now the Praetorian Guards around my father have been replaced by our people, the prince's side—that's it, just in case you have a long night's dreams, you might as well go out with me tonight."

Lu Changfeng said, "Yes." ”

Li Hanning saw that they were leaving, and asked again with some hesitation:

"Your Highness, I-"

Won't she go with them?

Before Xiao Ce left, he just glanced at Li Hanning quietly:

"You stay in the mansion tonight, after all, Xue Rui's side, if there is a case in the future, he will not blame you for this matter."

Xue Rui is also her friend after all, so Xiao Ce let Lu Changfeng go when he made arrangements at the beginning, anyway, with Lu Changfeng by his side, Xiao Ce is naturally safe.

Li Hanning thought of what she promised Xue Rui, even if she was a little unwilling in her heart, she had to take a step back:

"Yes."

Lu Changfeng on the side comforted: "Don't worry, with me and so many soldiers and horses here tonight, it's the same as you, nothing will happen." ”

Li Hanning looked at him and nodded, she knew Lu Changfeng's ability in her heart, so she was naturally relieved.

The entire Xiao Mansion was quiet soon after they left, and when Li Hanning was about to rest, the maid at the door came to report:

"Girl, someone came to you at the back door, saying that his name is Chu Zhou, he is a friend of the girl, and he wants to see the girl in an emergency."

Chu Zhou wants to see her at this time? Why is it so coincidentally tonight? And if she remembered correctly, she had never told Chu Zhou that she lived here, why could he find this place?

Li Hanning unconsciously became a little vigilant in his heart, remembering that Xiao Ce had sent secret guards to check his identity before and found nothing, but he remembered that when he was on the ship, Chu Zhou treated her very well.

However, seeing that Chu Zhou wanted to see her, thinking of the past, she still had to see her when she went to see her.

Li Hanning walked to the back from a distance, and sure enough, he saw Chu Zhou waiting there outside the door.

Li Hanning opened his mouth and asked, "Are you looking for me for something?" ”

Chu Zhou was a little difficult to speak: "I'm afraid there is something that needs to trouble you, it's okay if you don't agree, I-"

Li Hanning interrupted him and said, "It's okay, you talk about it first, what happened?" ”

Chu Zhou still hesitated a little and said to the people in front of him: "The family I live in has somehow offended the people in the hands of His Royal Highness King Ming, I know that you are close to King Ming, that old man is already past his prime, and his time is numbered, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the disaster of prison, and I want you to help him intercede." ”

No wonder it's normal for people to be so anxious, Li Hanning has also seen that old man, if it is really a person under King Ming, if the ins and outs of the matter are really as he said, she can naturally ask for this favor with her identity.

Although Li Hanning didn't look back, he keenly heard the sound of someone stepping on the roof not far away, and that person seemed to be staring at Chu Zhou all the way.

She immediately said to Chu Zhou in front of her: "Don't worry, I'll take a look with you." ”

When walking on the road, you can hear the sound of horses galloping by on the street next to him from a distance, but Li Hanning seems to be deaf, and follows Chu Zhou beside him, and goes around the trail to the West Street of Luoyang City.

Just when there was still one street to arrive, Li Hanning suddenly stopped.

Chu Zhou seemed to be aware of it, and also stopped, and he who was walking in front turned around and looked at Li Hanning and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Li Hanning glanced sideways behind him, the hidden weapon in the cloud sleeve was thrown over, and the sound of something falling on the ground was heard in the distance, Li Hanning said: "I just solved the spy who has been following behind you, I think I should ask you this question, what happened?" ”

Chu Zhou was silent, and some of the things that could be understood at a glance stopped talking.

Li Hanning spoke for him: "I never told you where I lived, and I never told you that I was Li Hanning, nor did I tell you the relationship between me and Xiao Ce, but you found the Ming Wangfu accurately." ”

Li Hanning paused and said, "Did you remember something about the past?" ”

If this thing is true, Li Hanning originally planned to be happy for him, but originally.

But he took advantage of the chaos to support her and left the Ming Palace's mansion tonight, and he also knew about the old man's affairs, Xiao Ce has always been extremely strict, and it is impossible to oppress innocent people for no reason as he said, Li Hanning has seen it clearly in the military camp for so many years, and he still trusts her.

Chu Zhou said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I deceived you, I am the prince's person, they know the relationship between you and Xiao Ce, originally they planned to use me to deceive you and take you as a hostage." ”

Li Hanning heard it clearly, and Chu Zhou also said the original.

Li Hanning hesitated for a moment and then said, "So you're going to do it?" ”

Now that the words have been said to this point, Chu Zhou has secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he doesn't want to listen to their words and hurt his few friends, but he can't watch someone die in vain because of this:

"I didn't intend to do what they wanted, but they threatened me with my uncle's life, and I originally intended to delay time in the name of bringing you here, and if you believe me, you know that I am not lying."
