Lu Ze laughed and left, leaving only Zhao Wu, the eldest prince who was gloomy and ugly on the ground.

Zhao Zhen, who had a full view of the scene just now, sighed in his heart, he stepped forward and gently patted the shoulder of his compatriot brother, the fourth prince with an extremely gentle temperament did not speak at the moment, although the two are biological brothers, but their temperaments are very different from each other, especially when it comes to the girl named Chen Yu, Zhao Zhan is not good to say more.

Because the queen mother originally wanted to appease the eldest brother in this way, so that Zhao Zhen could smoothly ascend to the supreme position.

Looking at the back of Lu Ze leaving, Zhao Zhan looked at it so calmly, looking at the sixth brother walking together with the Han Diao Temple who had served in the palace for many years, the eunuch of the Great Interior, who was able to achieve Han Shengxuan's current position has reached the extreme.

But the head of Liyang Dauchi, who was a very human minister, chose to leave all the honors behind, and resolutely chose to stand behind the sixth brother at this special moment, and his father also chose to follow the wish of this old eunuch who had followed him since he was a child.

In the near future, one of the three major demons of the Spring and Autumn Period, who is good at killing the heavens, will come out of Tai'an City again!

There is a clear iron law in the Liyang Dynasty, which is clearly engraved on the dragon tablet: no eunuch is allowed to go abroad, and Han Shengxuan, a great eunuch with a very special identity, has violated this iron law several times, when he went to pick up Zhao Kai, the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor, it was regarded as using more than half of his affection, and then went to Qianzhou to besiege and kill Cao Guanzi, with the emperor's acquiescence to the action, but the key person in it is Lu Ze after all, which uses some affection.

The vermilion tile wall beside him was shining with the dazzling sun.

Lu Ze and the master walked in the shade under the palace wall, Han Shengxuan was naturally half a distance behind Lu Ze, the bright red eunuch uniform of this silent human cat was particularly dazzling even in the shadows, the master and apprentice on the road did not meet half a person in the palace, only the voice of the two of them asked softly from time to time, Lu Ze asked, Han Diao Temple replied.

"Master, it is said that there is the most spectacular bamboo sea in the world in the old Xishu, and the bamboo sea is surging with the wind in summer, which is a wonder in the world."

"A few days ago, when I was at Qin Tianjian's place, I heard that little scholar told me that the mansion of the King of Shu, which is located on the top of the Spring Mountain on the top of the Bamboo Sea, has been renovated last month, and the palace is brand new and beautiful, and it is beautiful under the sun."

"Master, why don't you go and be a housekeeper for me after this incident is over?"

"Of course, I don't think there are so many eunuchs for you to call on."

Behind him, Han Mink Temple smiled and bowed.

This great eunuch, who is respected by both the government and the opposition, has been in charge of power in Da Nei for many years, but he knows that the source of all this is not his terrifying finger killing power, when the original Son of Heaven was only the weakest among the princes, he died for that prince, and later thanks to the grace of that meal, Han Shengxuan chose the one next to him who called himself a master as the little master for the rest of his life.

Lu Ze suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at the master with two strands of white hair and silver strands hanging from his sideburns in the brim of his hat.

He sighed softly and smiled helplessly: "I know that the master actually has a will to die in his heart, firstly, because the westward journey in the near future is too dangerous, and even you, the well-informed Damink Temple in Tai'an City, are not sure, and secondly, you feel that it is difficult to explain on your father's side, and you don't want me to be caught in the middle, and death may be the easiest choice."

The red silk in Han Minksi's hand has killed countless people, and the word death seems to be just an ordinary word for him.

This is true both for the enemy and for himself.

At this moment, the eunuch Han Shengxuan just lowered his eyebrows and did not answer.

Lu Ze's tone was gentle, but the expression on his face looked extremely solemn: "Master, I don't need you to die for me, the same is true for the second master, we will all live well."

Lu Ze's face at this time suddenly showed a confident and arrogant smile that belonged to a young man.

"In the end, who will die?"

"Xu Fengnian? Chen Zhibao?"

......

It's early in the Yang Palace

The court did not cause too much shock in Tai'an City, even if His Majesty the Emperor later sent the Sixth Highness to inspect the Western Regions, it was not a big deal in the eyes of many people, at best, His Majesty paid more attention to this prince with a special status.

But only the big man who really includes the entire Central Plains chessboard in his eyes can see many things hidden in the back dozen or even dozens of walking chess through this simple move, which is enough to subvert the dynastic layout of the entire Central Plains, which also represents His Majesty's examination of the future of the dynasty to a certain extent.

The fourth prince, Zhao Zhen, occupies the best opportunity.

Because he is now the most likely to sit in that position among the princes of the Liyang Dynasty, among the eldest princes before him, only the eldest prince Zhao Wu, so the queen mother Zhao Zhi will bother to appease this eldest son, because what he needs to give up is the position that countless people dream of.

Relatively speaking, Lu Ze undoubtedly needs to do more.

And this westward journey may be the best opportunity, not only to win the name of the King of Shu with real authority and significance, but also to prove himself thoroughly through this opportunity, rather than a petty fight on the border of Qianzhou.

There are only a handful of people who come to visit these days.

Lu Ze didn't care about this at all, as long as he could come back smoothly in the Western Regions with the imperial silver bottle, then there would only be smiling faces in the back, and this trip, in addition to the fiefdom of Shudi, he could also get the support of the Western Regions Buddhism Holy Land Landa Mountain, and then get the support of the entire Central Plains Buddhism.

"Stains."

"It's just a lot of money."

At this time, the main owner Lu Ze behaved very leisurely, chatting with Lu Chengyan from time to time, this fiancée also calmed down and stayed by Lu Ze's side safely, although the two of them were not officially engaged, but the two families were completely tied together, and there was no way out.

The beauty Chen Yu naturally also lived in the house.

And Lesie Lu occasionally goes to chat with this beautiful woman, after getting along simply, the relationship between the two women is quite harmonious, if it is normal, it is difficult to guarantee that the real heir of the Lu family, Rainie Lu, will not have other emotions because of this, and the fight between women is not simpler than fighting in the rivers and lakes.

But now is the critical time, and it is difficult for a thoughtful woman to set her eyes on this rouge beauty.

In the afternoon, the bald and black-clothed second master came to the courtyard.

Yang Taisui's face was flushed with exhaustion, he had been working hard for Lu Ze these days, but the essence in the old monk's eyes was clearly visible.

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Second master, there is a happy event?"

Yang Taisui took the fragrant autumn tea handed by Lu Chengyan and drank it down, bowed his head slightly, and then looked at Lu Ze and nodded: "The men and horses who went to the Western Regions with you have come out, and the order has been issued, three hundred Yulin troops with strong crossbows, two hundred Jin Wuwei with Tang swords, plus eighteen golden swords from the worship hall, this is an entourage given by His Majesty. And Yuan Benxi Yuan Banyu guy owed a favor to the teacher back then, and this time there will be fifty Zhao Gouyu butterflies secretly following, of course, it is only responsible for spying on intelligence, transmitting news, cleaning up the battlefield and other work, Zhao Gou belongs to His Majesty's private weapon after all, although Yuan Benxi is the emperor's teacher, it is impossible to openly intervene in the royal family party dispute."

Lu Ze stretched his waist and echoed with a smile: "It's enough."

"I just don't know how many people will be sent from Beiliang this time, according to my Uncle Xu's love for his son, it is estimated that there will only be more people, not less, but I still hope that there will not be too many people over there."

"After all... It's all a great head!"

......

In the north of Liangzhou, in an ordinary wine shop in Yanqiguan.

There is a hunchbacked old man who looks like a rich man tasting the very ordinary Yangchun noodles on the table, two small plates are respectively filled with hot and sour dried radishes and pickled vegetables specially made by the shop, with a small pot of Beiliang's most authentic green ant wine, this is a normal meal for ordinary cool men at noon.

After the old man finished eating slowly, there was still a small half pot of wine left on the table.

The old man smiled and looked at the extremely burly Yi beside him

Zi glanced at it and said, "Zuo Zong, how is the amount of wine now?"

Mengren, who was known as Yuan Baixiong in the Northern Liang Army, just smiled quietly, and then drank the small half pot of wine: "In front of my father-in-law, there are always only two words, I can drink."

At this time, on the side of the road not far away, there was a silly young man squatting on the ground with his ears down, and he suddenly got up with a face full of surprise.

"Huang Man'er, do you hear that? Is your brother back?"

Soon after, I saw dust on the official road.

The old man slowly stood up, crossed his hands on his slightly rich belly, and looked at the son who had just returned from Beimang, no one knew when His Royal Highness the prince went to the hinterland of Beimang, but when he came back, most of the Wudang Rhubarb Court on his body had been penetrated.

Xu Fengnian, who was in the dust, quickly dismounted and shouted Second Brother Yuan to Yuan Baixiong, who took the reins.

His Royal Highness rubbed his brother's head, and then whispered, "Go home."

Hearing that the old man on the top floor of the Chao Pavilion was on his deathbed, Li Yishan, who had moved the entire Spring and Autumn Period and helped Xu Jiajun successfully advance to the Beiliang Iron Horse, coughed lightly and looked at Xu Fengnian: "Go with confidence, your master can hold on for some time, waiting for you to come back."

Xu Fengnian kowtowed three times to the old man, and then quickly went downstairs.

At this time, the men and horses were already prepared in the dense forest outside the palace, and the 700 people of the Fengzi Battalion named after His Royal Highness the Prince were lined up here, and Xu Fengnian galloped to the northwest after getting on the horse.

The man riding the black tiger, Tu Ji's second son, Xu Longxiang, yelled twice in the direction of his brother's location and followed closely.

The white bear Yuan Zuozong galloped on horseback, wearing a Beiliang knife at his waist.

There is also a woman with her arms hidden in the big sleeves of the red robe and a red scarf on her head, who followed His Royal Highness the Prince from Beimang, looking like a ghost and having a gloomy atmosphere.

Half a day later, a white fox in the Beiliang Wangfu went downstairs and went out of the pavilion with a face, and even alarmed Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, only to hear the former say calmly: "I've been in the attic for too long, go out to breathe."

Nangong Servant, the No. 1 beauty at the top of the rouge rating, shot out of the Beiliang Palace's mansion for the first time.

There are thirteen floors in the arsenal of the Listening Chao Pavilion, and Nangong Servant has successfully climbed to the ninth layer before leaving, and no one knows its true strength.

Xu Xiao held on to the wooden railing and returned to the top floor, looking at his old friend who was extremely pale not far away, King Beiliang's face showed a hint of apology, and Li Yishan just shook his head at this time.

The old man's voice sounded extremely weak: "The prince Zhao Kai went to the Western Regions, and the Fengzi Camp estimated that it would face him between the Sword Pavilion and the Liusha River, and the people and horses carried by the other party on the surface have been roughly investigated, but we don't know the hidden power in the dark, this young man is hidden deeper than we imagined, and even Emperor Liyang probably can't see his little son clearly."

The sound of coughing resounded on the top floor of the Listening Tide Pavilion.

Xu Xiao stepped forward and patted the old man on the back gently: "That guy from Han Diao Temple took the initiative to give up the position of the head of the Great Interior, just so that he could go out of Beijing this time to help Zhao Kai reach the Western Regions safely. As for the power in the shadows, we are not without arrangement."

"I know that you can't rest assured that you can't go down to Feng Nian, and you can't rest assured that you can't go to Beiliang."

"This time the ambush of the prince Zhao Kai to the end of the competition is their own continuous back hand, we have already put out all the cards that can be played, and the rest is only up to Feng Nian himself."

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven? Fuck it, I Bei Liang only believes in the knife in my hand."

......

In the old West Chu, the northeast side of the Great Phoenix City is next to Hezhou, Guangling Road, and there are endless mountain ranges.

The autumn wind blows the steep ridges and woods here, and in front of the thatched hut on the flat ground, there is an old man with a broken arm in sheepskin Qiu who is teaching a young woman to practice swords, but the latter's mind is obviously not on the sword, the sword intent is messy, and the crooked sword law The old sword god is a little unbearable, and it is difficult to kill pigs.

"Jiang Ni girl, did the old man say that he wouldn't practice swords today? But since you have to practice, can we practice well?"

The old man in sheepskin fur blew his nose and glared,

This person in the world who wants to apprentice to the sword god Li Chungang can be lined up from Tai'an City to Emperor Wu City on the coast of the East China Sea, but only this woman surnamed Jiang in front of him makes our old sword god have no way.

Jiang Ni scratched his head and sighed.

As soon as the sword was raised, a middle-aged Confucian in a green shirt quietly landed here, Jiang Ni's originally godless eyes instantly flashed with a thick light, and the sword that had just been sheathed in his hand was thrown to Li Chungang indiscriminately, Her Royal Highness the princess trotted towards the Confucian scholar, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao!"

Cao Changqing saluted respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The middle-aged Confucian then spoke to the old sword god: "I need to leave the mountain these days, and this place will be handed over to the old sword god's seniors."

Li Chungang raised his eyelids and gave an answer.

Jiang Ni watched the green clothes gradually disappear from the field of vision, her eyes darkened again, and she turned her head to look at the old sword god, the woman didn't know what she thought, she ran to the old man's side very quickly, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Li Chungang glanced at her angrily: "I can't take you there, this is the general trend between Liyang and Beiliang, this thing The old man didn't bother to take care of it when he was young, let alone now?" If you go there, it will only make the situation more complicated, and you will forget about it in Qianzhou so quickly?"

Jiang Ni sighed again and lay on the stone table weakly.

Li Chungang was frowning at this time, muttering to himself, "I heard that the little guy surnamed Zhao defeated Wang Xianzhi's senior disciple at the head of Emperor Wu City, and it seems that he used the old man's two-sleeved green snake? This time... Do you want to look at it from afar?"

Jiang Yi reluctantly turned his head: "Go!"
