The autumn breeze is blowing.

The red-sleeved move is in the intoxicating pavilion, but it is full of warmth.

The heating fire in the attic room was turned on early, so that the guests who came to the red sleeves to greet guests could take off their thick clothes and enjoy the intimate service of the fat and thin people, so that the silver and intelligence could flow like water to the land of fireworks.

The core business of these happy places in Luoshi Street is not conflicting, and the internal ones are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The marquis of the royal palace and the relatives of the royal family, of course, are the guests of the first grade.

For example, the Miaoyin Fang on the northwest side of Luoshi Street, the current Dynasty Ji Wangye is one of the frequent visitors, this Ji Wangye is the brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and is also the only Xiao surnamed Wang Ye of the Liang Dynasty, these years in Jinling City to live a hedonistic life.

Lu Ze's grade has gradually entered the ranks of the first echelon.

He inherited the title of Marquis of Wuwei, made great achievements in the west, returned to Beijing this time to be rewarded, and made a lot of fame at the county lord's son-in-law selection conference, such a marquis is definitely the favorite of many wealthy lords in Kyoto.

It's just that Qin Panruo's eyes look extremely resentful now, and Lu Ze's words just now seem to have annoyed this Qin shopkeeper.

No name... It's not a concubine, is it?

Lu Ze smiled and let go of the pair of Qianqian jade hands that seemed to be warm white jade: "I understand the mind of Pranya. ”

Qin Panruo looked at Lu Ze's smiling and handsome face, and only felt that what he said just now didn't seem to be so annoying to him.

The topic of the two gradually talked about today's Jinling City, among which the party struggle between King Yu and the crown prince must be an inevitable topic, Qin Banruo wanted to know who this Marquis Lu would be in his heart.

She could feel that the impatience in His Royal Highness King Yu's heart was intensifying.

Because of the case of Qing Guogong.

In fact, Qing Guogong did not have much personal affection for King Yu, but he was the only military minister who publicly expressed support for King Yu when the attitude of the Great Liang military was generally ambiguous, so it was particularly valuable.

If it had been a few days ago, this loss, although heavy, would have been barely bearable for the Honor King's side.

But in the past few days, Qin Banruo has received news that cannot be fully confirmed.

At the beginning, the old couple who came to Beijing to sue Qingguo Gong were escorted to the capital by Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin on the surface, but in secret, there was a figure of Tianquan Villa.

Qin Panruo was extremely intelligent, and he quickly thought of the body of Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ningguo.

This old thing, let Xie Bi, the prince of the Hou Mansion, come to King Yu, but he himself is already a person from the prince's side in private?

At this time, Lu Houye, who returned to Beijing to be rewarded, became a sweet and sweet in the eyes of King Yu.

Compared with those in the military before, this young Wu Weihou undoubtedly has a better chance to win over.

Qin Banruo's smile on her face was charming, and the charming palace dress and the slightly drunken blush on both sides of her cheeks made her even more attractive, especially when the shopkeeper Qin just now regarded Lu Ze's 'hand-holding' behavior as the result of her own charm.

"I don't know Lord Hou, is he more optimistic about His Royal Highness King Yu, or His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Qin Panruo poured a full cup of wine, slowly picked up the wine glass, and put it to Lu Ze's mouth, his eyes were full of affection.

Lu Ze took a sip: "I'm optimistic about the two highnesses, but it doesn't matter what it is, the Liang military generally maintains neutrality." ”

The official system of the Great Liang is clearly divided between the civil and military ministers, except for the royal family, the civil ministers do not become marquises, and the military ministers do not participate in politics.

Below the first grade, you can't hold both civil and military positions.

The promotion of Wenchen can be based on both assessment and the favor of superiors or emperors; But generals are different, only real military merits are the ladder for military attaché promotion.

It is precisely because of this tradition of the promotion of military generals that the vast majority of military ministers in Daliang are not very interested in political affairs that have nothing to do with military affairs.

Because even if you take a great risk and choose the right new monarch, without a solid foundation of military merits on the battlefield, you will not be able to get a substantial reward at all.

So no matter which prince ascends to the throne in the end, the military is still the military.

It's the same people who are fighting.

Even the emperor Lao Tzu could not rashly touch the balance line of the military.

Lu Ze couldn't help but think of the Red Flame Army that had been destroyed in Meiling twelve years ago.

Emperor Liang probably thought about it for a long time at that time, and finally destroyed the Red Flame Army of the Great Liang ace under the urging of Xia Jiang and Xie Yu, and the 70,000 Red Flame Army, the most invincible in combat power, had an extremely close relationship with Xiao Jingyu, the king of Qi.

At that time, King Qi was supported by countless courtiers.

Emperor Liang may not even be able to sleep.

Qin Panruo in the Intoxicated Pavilion shook his head with a smile, picked up a round purple-skinned grape between his two fingers, lowered his head and peeled it, and said, "Master Hou is arrogant." ”

"Who doesn't know in Jinling City, the military ministers who have been crowned marquis or marshals can get any seal from His Majesty, so as to seek super-grade treatment and family hereditary rewards."

"In the Great Liang Dynasty, there are no more than six such military ministers, how can Your Majesty ignore the attitude of these people?"

No one can ignore the attitude of the military.

The matter of the Nihuang County Lord has made the favorability of the Yunnan Mu Mansion towards the prince drop to the freezing point, and the emperor will of course be worried, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, will the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Yunnan Royal Mansion do their best to be loyal to the new monarch?

Lu Ze handed it to the grape pulp next to his mouth and swallowed it, and said softly: "It is inconvenient for the military general to have a close relationship with the imperial heir. ”

Lu Ze gave his real answer.

Turning to King Yu or the crown prince is actually just for the sake of benefit.

But how many benefits can these two give?

Don't you two still follow behind your Emperor Laozi's ass, eating and drinking, and I can't ask your two fathers for something directly?

Hearing Lu Ze's answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in Qin Panruo's eyes.

She chose King Yu as her assistant, of course, hoping that one day King Yu ascended the throne and could help the Hua people restore the country.

But at present, although King Yu is the Prince of Qizhu and has a noble status, he is not the prince of the East Palace after all, with His Majesty the Emperor getting old, the new dynasty may not know when it will come, and at that time, His Royal Highness King Yuyu will fall, I am afraid that Qin Panruo's own ending will not be much better.

Lu Ze quickly chatted with Qin Panruo hand in hand again.

Qin Panruo listened with a little curiosity, and could only pretend not to see the little movement in Lu Houye's hand.

This Hou Ye... It's really a kind of cheapness.

"My dream..."

"Of course, it's a comfortable life, with a little money and power at home, marry a dozen rooms, and then at home..."

Qin Panruo's expression was strange.

Lu Houye's dream is quite realistic.

"Of course, if I can, I also want to open up all the imperial cities of all countries."

"The royal court of Dayu, the Chendu of Northern Yan, and the Jiangqiancheng of Southern Chu..."

Lu Ze's tone when he said this was still a joke.

But after Qin Banruo heard it in his ears, he could faintly feel the arrogance and conceit in the latter's words.

This is the dream of all military generals.

Even the world-famous Liang Chiyan Army failed to do this.

Qin Panruo thought about what happened to him, and there was a sadness in his voice: "Then when the time comes, won't all the countries become one country." ”

Lu Ze nodded and said: "Yes, there is no big country or small country, strong country and weak country, there is only one country." ”

Qin Banruo asked Lu Ze with great interest a lot of things.

This woman who is good at calculating people's hearts, in fact, is not very old, after coming to Jinling, she joined the command of King Yu, living in the whirlpool of revenge, and some of Lu Ze's slightly modern thoughts touched her three views.

That night, Lu Ze didn't leave the Red Sleeve until late at night.

This time, Qin Panruo did not stand on the top floor to watch, but personally took Lu Ze's arm and sent him to the carriage of the Lu Mansion at the door, which surprised everyone in the red sleeve move.

The horse-drawn carriage drove gently along Kyoto's smooth bluestone pavement.

After driving out of Luoshi Street, the lights and bustle outside seemed to retreat a little.

Lu Ze went out in a light car this time, just bringing a few guards from the house.

After a few moments, the carriage turned into the quiet Yunning Street, which is usually filled with Kyoto cloth shops and clothes, and it was extremely quiet after dark.

It's just that this quietness comes too abruptly.

In the carriage, Lu Ze slowly opened his eyes, and the afterglow of drinking gradually dissipated a little.

Lu Houye is a Fa-speaking person.

The magnates in Jinling City know this.

Therefore, when the three black-clothed men attacked the Lu Fu car, they only heard Lu Houye say with interest: "In the land of Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there really a rebellious person who dares to regard the law as nothing?" ”

The guards of the Hou Mansion had already exchanged hands with each other at this time.

Lu Ze crossed his arms, stood beside him, and commented softly: "Three swordsmen, good martial arts, strong sword intent, solid and stable sword moves, it should be from the same vein, come up and kill the move, this is a deliberate intention to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"But the patrol battalion and the forbidden army will arrive soon, so you have to hurry."

Lu Ze's words played a big role.

Among the three swordsmen, the one who was not the first was obviously old, and he no longer concealed his strength at this time.

At the same time, the sword qi is magnificent!

I saw the swordsman in the middle hand out a sword, majestic and majestic, shooting straight towards Lu Ze.

Seeing this, Lu Ze shook his head with a smile: "At this time, you don't need your best sword moves, it's sneaky, and it won't be useful to give you a chance." ”

Lu Ze punched out, his energy dissipated, and at the same time, his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

The man in black in front of him tensed up and shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up!" ”

The words were not spoken, but it was too late.

The other two black-clothed men who were fighting with the palace guards were each rewarded with a punch by Lu Ze, and Bai Liqi, a master of horizontal training at the imperial banquet that day, failed to resist Lu Houye's fist, although Lu Ze did not exert much strength at this time, it was enough to make the opponent lose all resistance ability.

The two figures slumped backwards and fell to the ground.

Lu Ze picked up the long sword in his hand and broke the wrists of the two of them, and the violent wail was particularly miserable on the empty street.

The man in black who was the only one standing looked at Lu Ze who was in the dark not far away, and seemed to be able to see the smile on the other party's face, but this smile was particularly terrifying in his eyes, and the man's eyes looked at the two who fell to the ground, and his expression was extremely sad.

Lu Ze was ruthless.

first smashed his chest with two abrupt punches, and then ruthlessly broke the tendons of the two of them, steady and ruthless.

"If you leave, tomorrow the Marquis will hang these two men on the gatehouse of Suzaku Street."

"There are mixed fish and dragons in Jinling City, I don't believe it, no one knows these two faces."

Lu Ze said lightly to the remaining person in front of him.

The guards of the Hou Mansion had already removed the black cloth that had been used to disguise the faces of the two men.

It is two very young cheeks.

Lu Ze glanced at it and retracted his gaze, compared to the dead soldiers he met in the suburbs of Beijing that day, the grade of this group of people today was obviously inferior.

Jianghu people.

The middle-aged man was extremely entangled.

But the decision was made in an instant, and the figure quickly swept backwards.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward, intending to chase after them.

Lu Ze waved his hand lightly, shook his head, and said, "You don't have to chase, you have to let people go back and bring the words." ”

A short time later, the patrol battalion hurried to the scene.

The leader looked strange after knowing that it was Lu Houye, who was the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion, was assassinated.

The relationship between Wu Weihou and the patrol battalion is not good, because of the previous incident, the patrol battalion was criticized a lot, and even with Xie Houye, he was reprimanded by His Majesty, but today the people in the patrol battalion still act according to the law.

The two assassins were taken back to the mansion by Lu Ze.

Liu Qiushuang in the backyard went to bed early, and it wasn't until the next day that she learned about Lu Ze's assassination last night.

Liu Qiushuang's face was solemn: "The land of Gyeonggi, after all, you have to take care of decency, even if it is the summer and winter of the Hanging Mirror Division, you are the hereditary Marquis of Wuwei of the Great Liang, and there are still people who dare to assassinate in Jinling City?" ”

Lu Ze replied with a smile: "There are always people who don't want to see me live." ”

......

Mei Changsu moved out of Xuelu last night.

After hearing the news of Lu Houye's assassination, this Jiang Zuo Meilang frowned, and then his face returned to normal.

"Jianghu means."

"The people of Tianquan Villa, how did they become so confused."

"Why did Xie Yu suddenly want to kill Lu Ze again."

No one knew that Sect Master Mei had also been assassinated in Xuelu, the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, the day before yesterday.

Feiliu was dragged away that day, but Mei Changsu still had the masters of Jiang Zuomeng by his side, which was exposed.

And at this time, in the study room of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Tianquan Villa, was bowing his head in front of his father-in-law at the moment, and Marquis Xie's face was gloomy: "Let me tell you, this time it is just to test the details, why are your people so unhelpful?" ”

Zhuo Dingfeng's tone was bitter: "After Zhuo Ding came back last night, he told me in detail, that Marquis Lu's martial arts are no worse than mine, enough to step into the forefront of the Langya master list, and the next time the list is released, the top five will have their names." ”

Xie Yu wanted to kill Lu Ze.

And the heart of killing him is far deeper than killing that Jiang Zuo Meilang.

The crown prince and Concubine Yue had a big deal in the matter of the Nihuang County Lord, Xie Yu reviewed it carefully, and finally realized where the problem was, and the news that the eldest princess of Liyang had been to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion was known to Xie Yu.

Lu Ze probably already knows too many things.

Xie Yu's face was as cold as water: "It was I who underestimated this Lu Hou." ”
