Chapter 54: Alignment with the Branches
"You mean, Gonggong Gao knows that I am a fake eunuch?" Lu Qian felt more and more incredible.
Zhou Shuran shook his head and said, "Of course not, Grandpa Gao has followed Xia Jiuyuan since he was a child. It should be Concubine Li's means. Why didn't you tell Concubine Li about your amnesia? She should know everything about you. Wouldn't she know if you asked?"
Lu Qian patted his head, nodded and said, "That's right! How I didn't think of that. That's right, I'll ask him when I go back this time."
The reason for this amnesia, since he was able to deceive Fang Daorong, he must also be able to fool Concubine Li.
Zhou Shuran saw Lu Qian's appearance, and said faintly, "Speaking of Concubine Li, you are quite excited. Do you miss her again?"
looked at Zhou Shuran's jealous appearance.
Lu Qian took her into his arms.
Pressed against his forehead and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"Concubine Li will, I will..." Zhou Shuran seemed to think of the scene when he first saw Lu Qian and Concubine Li, and said resentfully
As he spoke, he directly pushed Lu Qian down.
...
The next day, when Lu Qian was still asleep.
I was woken up by a quick knock on the door and Xia Wenji's voice.
Lu Qian got up abruptly and glanced at the side.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuran has already left.
After opening the door, Xia Wenzhi said excitedly, "Mr. Lu, you are too godly! Lee Hsien Jong has already sent people to express his willingness to continue negotiations."
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Then it seems that if it goes well, we will go back tomorrow."
Xia Wenzhi smiled and nodded.
Lu Qian really missed her Xiaomin, Concubine Xi, and Yuli.
He was told by Fang Daorong and Zhou Shuran, and he was even more curious about the identity of the original owner.
In the afternoon, the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom arrived as promised.
This time, only Zhou Hongye and Li Xianzong came over.
The parties reached an agreement.
They said that they would let the eight cities withdraw their troops first, and let the Huo family army take over when the time came.
It's just that it is written in the reconciliation book that Zhou Linyuan came back with eight cities.
As for Zhou Linyuan, there is no need to let him come back, and they promise that they will not make it difficult for the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Lu Qian thought to himself, they still want to set up an archway when they are ***.
However, naturally, I agreed.
After the signing was completed, Lu Qian said to Zhou Hongye very well, "Then I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the best."
Li Xianzong smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
...
After they left, Xia Wenzhi asked suspiciously, "Mr. Lu, I have something to understand..."
"Do you wonder why they didn't see Zhou Linyuan's body and promised to return the city to us. Aren't we afraid that we will regret putting Zhou Linyuan back?" Lu Qian asked with a smile.
Xia Wenzhi nodded.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "This is the genius of that Li Xianzong! Do you think that we have to kill Zhou Linyuan to impress them? He doesn't really believe that we will kill Zhou Linyuan."
"What's that?" Xia Wen said puzzled.
Fang Daorong will speak
"If I'm not mistaken, Li Xianzong is exchanging eight cities for the peace of the Great Zhou! and sending a civil strife to the Great Xia court, after all, if His Majesty appoints His Royal Highness as the crown prince, it will inevitably make the Huo family army dissatisfied, and there will be turmoil in the court..."
Lu Qian nodded approvingly, thinking that this Fang Daorong was really a talent.
"That's right... Moreover, presumably they will set up layers of ambushes on the border, and as soon as Zhou Linyuan shows up, they will assassinate him. Therefore, just when we were negotiating, we had already asked Zhou Linyuan to go back. Zhou Linyuan also promised us to wait until a month later to show up."
After Lu Qian finished speaking, he said to Fang Daorong, "We have to go back quickly now, so as not to cause trouble!" City Lord Fang, the next thing will trouble you.
」
Fang Daorong saw that Lu Qian and them were in a hurry to go back and nod their heads, let them rest assured.
So, they drove the carriage and left Tongguan overnight.
This time I went back and took the main road
Not far from Tongguan, I also met Huo Jiajun...
Looking at the majestic momentum, it is worthy of a king's division.
On the way, Lu Qian also decided to follow Xia Wenzhi to talk about Zhou Shuran.
He didn't want to let Zhou Shuran go back.
Just on the way, thinking about what to say.
Xia Wenzhi smiled and said to Lu Qian, "Mr. Lu, I don't know how you want to settle Shu Concubine."
Lu Qian was stunned by Xia Wenzhi's words.
"Concubine Shu was also snubbed by her father in the palace, so it was better to trouble Mr. Lu to settle her down. At that time, we will tell our father that she has died of illness, and my father will be happy about the return of Yanyun Eight Cities, and he will not care about the death of a concubine in the cold palace."
Xia Wenzhi's words made Lu Qian feel shocked.
His own heart was actually seen through by Xia Wenzhi.
It seems that he still underestimated this big prince.
This Xia Wenzhi is not as simple as he sees!
When Xia Wenzhi said this, he was obviously giving himself a big gift.
"Your Highness commands, and I will do it." Lu Qian also answered very cleverly.
Zhou Shuran bowed down and said, "Your Highness Xie."
Xia Wenzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, we are all our own people. There are things you don't need to hide from me. We should be in the same spirit. In this way, we can cooperate with each other without any suspicions, right?"
Lu Qian was a little shocked when he heard this.
What he said seemed to be bringing them closer, but in fact he was knocking Lu Qian.
He bowed down and said with a smile on his face, "What Your Highness said is..."
At this moment, the driver stopped the car and said into the car
"Your Highness, Lord Lu! In the distance, a pair of people came by, as if they were a royal team! Shall we avoid it?"
Listening to the coachman's words, Lu Qian looked over.
I saw a mighty cavalry in front, looking at the banner, it should be the Huo family army, and the person at the head was Xia Xingbang!
"Supposedly, he'll have at least three days to get there? How did he come so fast!" Lu Qian was shocked in his heart.
I looked around, this is a main road avenue, there is no path, there is no way to avoid it!
The best emperor
