In less than half a day, the news that Concubine Yue was deposed and the prince was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors spread throughout the government and the opposition.

It's just that the description of Zhongshu Province in this matter is quite vague, and Zhongshu makes Liu Cheng, an old fox, well versed in the emperor's heart, although he doesn't know what happened specifically, but he thinks about the emperor's mind very thoroughly.

"Disobey the will of the Divine and serve disrespectfully."

The general purpose revolves around eight large characters.

On the contrary, it caused a lot of rumors outside, and all kinds of bizarre speculations came out one after another, saying everything.

The rise of these outsiders guessing.

However, those who are involved or who are vaguely aware of some rumors have chosen to keep their mouths shut and not reveal anything before and after.

The examination for the selection of sons-in-law has not been cancelled or postponed because of this incident.

But whether it is for the candidates or for the organizers, this huge son-in-law election conference has completely become a piece of chicken ribs, and the Nihuang county lord himself has said to the emperor to quit, and whether the son-in-law selection conference will be carried out or not is meaningless.

To the surprise of many people, even Marquis Lu failed to get the favor of the Nihuang County Lord.

After the end of the literary exam, Lu Ze and the other two were selected for the final round.

The other two players chose to quit in unison.

At the imperial banquet that day, they had seen with their own eyes how Marquis Lu defeated the Golden Eagle Chai Ming and Bai Liqi.

And being able to get to the top three is enough to make them satisfied.

Most of the participants did not plan to finally be able to fold the proudest flower of Nanling, and it was a great gain to be able to make a name for themselves through this platform and win the opportunity to be appreciated.

"In the final battle, Lu Hou will face the Nihuang County Lord."

"Your Majesty has decreed that this battle will be conducted in private, and the final result will not be made public."

Gonggong Gao's sharp and loud voice surprised many people in the hall.

Yan Yujin's originally excited face collapsed instantly, and he said sullenly to his friends around him: "Jing Rui, what does Your Majesty mean under this will?" This son-in-law selection conference has involved the attention of all countries in the world, and now it is really appetizing! ”

Xiao Jingrui looked slightly helpless.

Even in the Daliang Palace, there is no door on the mouth of this guy Yujin.

"You..."

"You can ask your aunt what the end result is."

Yan Yujin's aunt is, of course, the queen mother of the dynasty.

Uncle Yan Yan has ignored court affairs over the years, but he has the name of an uncle and a marquis, and I heard that he often goes to the mountains to seek Taoism.

Yan Yujin pursed his lips when he heard this.

Something suddenly happened to Concubine Yue and the prince, and the aunt and King Yu are now looking around to find out what is going on, Yan Yujin faintly guessed that this matter seems to have something to do with the lord of Nihuang.

The result of Lu Ze's fight with the county lord made everyone curious.

It's a pity that the tone on both sides is very tight.

.......

About ten miles outside the west city of the royal capital, there is a rolling grassland, and a clear river flows from the side.

On the other side of the river, there is a dense forest.

The scenery here is quiet, the terrain is open, and it is close to the official road, and it has always been a place for the sons of noble families to run horses or practice riding and archery.

The sound of hooves.

Two horses, one in front of the other and one behind, galloped along the riverbank.

Horses are like dragons, people are like brocade, and Chinese bridles are carved saddles.

"I lost to you."

The speed of the white horse in front gradually slowed down, the woman tightened the horse rope, and turned to look at Lu Ze behind, her eyes were full of complexity.

The people in Jinling City were curious about the results of the final battle of the son-in-law selection conference.

Especially in the major gambling houses, the nails are nails and rivets.

No one thought that the son-in-law selection meeting would end in such a confusing way, so that there was no certainty on whether the county lord would marry in the end.

Rain on someone's parade!

The lord of Nihuang rode his horse and stopped by the river.

Lu Ze followed, side by side with him, and said with a smile: "The competition between you and me has nothing to do with this son-in-law selection conference. ”

The Nihuang County Lord's expression was complicated, she never expected that she would one day be defeated by someone younger than her, and even the admiration and appreciation of the man in front of her faintly rose in her heart, this feeling was what the Nihuang County Lord who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years longed, but it made the southern female marshal feel a little flustered.

She was defeated.

And he was convinced by defeat at the hands of Lu Ze.

The two men dismounted together, and each of the two horses went to find fodder and make a tooth sacrifice.

"How did you cultivate your martial arts to this level?"

Lord Nihuang walked on the somewhat wet gravel on the shore, and her face was filled with curiosity at the moment.

Lu Ze's age is actually not much older than Mu Qingdu, but he not only supported the Wuwei Marquis Mansion alone, but also learned this proud martial arts, and the Nihuang County Lord guessed that Lu Ze should be able to climb into the top ten of the Langya master list.

"Hmm... I'm gifted. ”

Lu Ze was telling the truth.

Strength is the most direct manifestation of talent.

The Nihuang County Lord smiled slightly, from the moment she came out of Jinling City on horseback, she felt that the haze that was originally shrouded in her heart dissipated in an instant, and all the things she experienced in the palace, although she had psychological expectations, but the treacherous situation and the sinister nature of the human heart were far beyond her imagination.

"Mu Qing carried me on my back today and secretly went to the Criminal Department."

When Lu Ze heard this, his expression was strange: "Sima Lei? ”

The Nihuang County Lord nodded: "I just went in to take a look, but I heard that Sima Gongzi's leg seems to be broken." ”

Lu Ze said with a smile: "Then Mu Xiaowangye's martial arts should be enough to be on the Langya master list." ”

Lu Ze continued: "The Criminal Department is the territory of His Royal Highness King Yu, and the process of wanting to come to Mu Qing to 'visit' Sima Lei did not encounter many obstacles, and King Yu should be able to guess it with some things." ”

There are too many smart people in Jinling City.

His Royal Highness King Yu has a unique talent for the affairs of the court, especially in the affairs of the prince, and his sense of smell is quite keen.

If it weren't for Mei Changsu's ability to fool better than Fan Wei in the original book, King Yu would not have found out after the fall of the crown prince that the Qilin genius chose His Royal Highness King Jing.

The crown prince was grounded, and the Yue Guifei was deposed.

At this time, something happened to the Sima family again, and Sima Lei, who was originally one of the ten people in the literary examination of the son-in-law selection conference, was sentenced to exile.

If you connect these things, it's easy to guess the truth behind them.

The Nihuang County Lord sighed softly, "I don't like Jinling, but you still seem to be living like a fish in water in the imperial capital. ”

At this time, the county lord suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and asked seriously: "I remember that you said before that you bet a lot on yourself, and this son-in-law selection conference ended in a hurry, it won't be a loss, right?" ”

The relationship between the two is much closer than before.

At least in the title, it is customary to use 'you and me', not the lord of the county.

Lu Ze shook his head with a smile: "I just pressed myself to win the championship in the son-in-law selection conference, and I will definitely be able to marry you without pressure, how can I pay for it?" ”

The Nihuang County Lord was silent, and then his eyes were full of light, and he said directly: "Are you also..."

Also...

Don't want to get married?

The Nihuang County Lord stared at Lu Ze tightly, and then he reacted, it turned out that Lu Ze had the same thoughts as her.

Something extremely strange gripped Nihuang's heart... This feeling is called 'unpleasant'.

She was still feeling a little guilty about Lu Ze about the matter of Zhaoren Palace and the matter of the son-in-law selection conference, but now she found out that the other party actually did not plan to marry her, which made our proud southern handsome like a phoenix have an inexplicable sense of frustration.

If so... Then why am I still trying my best and risking to make such a big move in Zhaoren Palace?

- Smack!

The county lord lifted his leg and kicked a piece of gravel directly under his feet.

The point where this gravel fell was a depression in the grassland, because the grass was dense there, the falling rock itself did not make much noise, but the sound of the grass was clearer.

"Who's eavesdropping somewhere?"

The Nihuang County Lord's ears were keen, she raised her eyebrows, and shouted loudly.

The voice he was talking about with Lu Ze just now was not very loud, but if he was really listened to by others, it would inevitably cause more incidents.

"I'll come first, and you'll come later, so why talk about eavesdropping?" A voice sounded calmly, "I've tried my best not to disturb you, but a rock has fallen from the sky, and I must be allowed to hide, right?" ”

As these words fell, a person slowly stood up in front of Lu Ze and the Nihuang County Lord.

Tall and slender, with long hair tightly tied behind his head, and wearing a dark black costume that was different from the official uniform of the imperial court, he was holding his abdomen with his hands at this time, and looked at the Nihuang County Lord with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Blinking, he looked up and down at the man not far away.

"Didn't you go to Binzhou to investigate the case? Why did you come back so soon? ”

The emperors of the Great Liang Kingdom have a direct supervision agency Hanging Mirror Division, which has few members, and the person who holds the seal is called the Hanging Mirror Envoy, which continues from generation to generation in the form of master and apprentice, and has a high loyalty to the monarch, and has always only acted on the emperor's orders, investigating the most important and most secret events.

Xia Dong had a smile on his face.

"I'm in a hurry to come back to see your son-in-law selection conference, and some rats behind me are chasing quickly, so I came back early."

Xia Dong's voice suddenly became lower: "Don't speak, help me, and slowly walk to the official road." ”

The words as thin as a gossamer drilled into Nihuang's ears at this time, and the body leaning over in front of Xia Dong stood out as heavy, and the fishy sweet blood also swam into his nose at the same time, and the county lord's heart suddenly sank.

Lu Ze didn't go to help, but looked around the riverbank with interest, feeling some faint murderous aura permeating him.

Xia Dong still whispered: "They don't want me to go into the city, maybe they will make a desperate bet." Be careful, there are people in the river and in the woods on the other side, the dead, the highest price. ”

Looking at Lu Ze's still calm cheeks, Xia Dong suddenly smiled at Nihuang beside him: "I think he is very pleasing to the eye." ”

Lu Ze smiled: "Thank you." ”

Lu Ze led the two horses, and the three of them talked and laughed and walked in the direction of the official road.

Unfortunately, the professional killer is extremely perceptive, or the employer has given the order to die.

I heard a thin whistle in the dense forest on the other side of the river, followed by the shaking of branches and leaves, and several light gray figures flew out.

At the same time, a column of water burst out on the originally calm river, and about ten killers armed with sharp blades rose into the sky.

The two teams converged in a moment, and in an instant, they formed a fan shape, and rushed towards the three of them in an orderly manner.

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows: "It's really professional." ”

Without a word, the vicious battle unfolded directly.

The killers' tricks are not fancy, and the posture is not beautiful, if you let the uncle Yan Yujin comment here, he will definitely think that the killers' tricks are too ugly, and they are not elegant at all.

But the killing technique has always been pursued with only two words: simple.

Rush, stab, split, slash.

Every action of these killers is not protracted, and the purpose is only to take people's lives.

But Lu Ze faced these killers to surround and kill, and finally showed part of his true strength, compared to the competition at the imperial banquet, this world is undoubtedly more suitable for Lu Ze's play, the whole person is like a butterfly flying on the blade, Lu Ze's body is free, and every blow in his hand will make the opponent lose his mobility.

The Nihuang County Lord was also unhurried to deal with it.

Xia Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement: "This Marquis Lu, did he really win the crown of this son-in-law selection conference?" Aren't you, then, a phoenix..."

Nihuang glanced at Xia Dong angrily: "Can you solve the trouble in front of you first?" ”

As a mirror hanger, Xia Dong is very experienced in dealing with these killers along the way, and now there are two more heavenly helpers around him, after all, the killers are doing assassination, and the highest realm is to hit with one hit, and retreat decisively if you don't hit, this is the right reason.

Getting caught in a grappling is certainly a killer taboo.

What's more, this place is already a suburb of Beijing, and it is next to the official road, the longer it passes, the greater the possibility of being bumped into.

In a moment, the killer died a lot.

There was a whistle in the jungle.

Youdao was obviously the commander of the black-clothed man who appeared in person, with a little water wave, sweeping across the narrow river, his body was extremely fast, and he appeared at the scene of the killing in an instant, with four killers on the left and right, and went towards Lu Ze and Nihuang with a suicidal attack.

There is a brief gap in between.

The commander led the other killers, including those who had fallen to the ground wounded, and headed straight for Xia Dong.

"Be careful!"

The Nihuang County Lord cheered and reminded.

At this time, I saw a blue light flickering on Lu Ze's side, and he picked up an ordinary green steel sword from the killer in his hand, Nihuang felt that Lu Ze's whole temperament had changed significantly at this moment, no longer like Liang Wuweihou, who was conquering the battlefield, but more like a swordsman who was the number one in the world.

Lu Ze's body rolled up like a whirlwind, as if it had rolled out a whirlpool that sucked people's lives.

The green light was accompanied by blood flowers, and the first few figures to arrive had all flown upside down at this moment.

This sudden drastic change not only stunned the Nihuang County Lord, but even the side with the killer commander was stunned.

Xia Dong's injuries seemed to have healed, and he drove towards one of the black-clothed people with a sharp approach, sealing his throat with one move, only to hear the hanging mirror make him laugh out loud: "Thank you Lu Hou Ye for helping, I just wanted to capture this leader alive, this martial arts is not good, but I ran too fast." ”
