Tiger Hill, located in the middle of Cangshan Mountain, is a hot spring mecca with many mountain villas.

Of course, the nobles in the capital all know how to enjoy, Tiger Hill is the most lively every year in the cold winter of Layue, and it is absolutely enjoyable to be able to soak in the hot springs comfortably in the three or nine days.

Listening to Lu Ze's joking inquiry, Mu Qing was a little helpless: "On an occasion like today, my sister will definitely not come." ”

Lu Ze sighed: "It's a pity. ”

Mu Xiaowang secretly slandered, you are not my brother-in-law now!

The carriage soon stopped on the official road outside Tiger Hill Village.

In the eye, there are many mountain villas spread out on the gentle terrain of Cangshan Tiger Hill, and the largest scale of repair, the most comfortable one, is undoubtedly the courtyard of King Ji.

The emperor's own brother has enjoyed himself all these years.

Anyone who has a little friendship with King Ji will choose to live in this courtyard after coming to Tiger Hill.

"Let's go."

"If Prince Ji is also in Tiger Hill, I will visit it in the afternoon."

After Lu Ze returned to Beijing, he had not seen this extremely merry and wise Ji Wangye.

Even at the meeting of the Nihuang County Lord's son-in-law, King Ji did not show up on the Yingfeng Tower.

The location of the Wuwei Hou Mansion in Tiger Hill is decent, and after learning that the Hou Ye is coming here, the people in the mansion have already cleaned up the good students of the other courtyard, and Lu Ze and Mu Qing soon entered the theme of bathing.

At that time, the Ministry of Industry spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in order to build this Tiger Hill Hot Spring.

At that time, the power of the Great Liang was at its peak, and the surrounding countries did not dare to act rashly, and His Majesty the Emperor specially approved the silver to renovate the Tiger Hill Hot Springs, so that those old generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years could often come here to recuperate.

Mu Qing was very comfortable playing dog planing in the steaming water.

On the bluestone at hand, there are still a lot of exquisite food, Mu Qing squinted his eyes, and said lazily: "Lu Hou, you tell me about life in the west, my sister and I will return to Yunnan after the New Year, and then I will be sent to Ganzhou." ”

At the beginning, for this matter, the Nihuang County Lord also specially went to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion to visit.

Although Mu Qing is a casual character, over the years, he has completely lived in the warm wings created by his sister, carefree.

But after all, what flows in his bones is the blood of the Mu family, and the Mu family, who have guarded the southern border for Daliang since the time of Taizu, are all warriors and brave warriors, and Mu Qing has also grown a lot since his experience in Jinling during this time.

He can't rely on his sister for the rest of his life.

Lu Ze threw the crystal jade grapes in his mouth into his mouth, nodded, and then whispered to Mu Qing about the human geography, customs and customs of the seven states in the western border.

At the beginning of the Liang Taizu Dynasty, he attacked the Northern Yan in the north to collect the land of the Hetao, and then led the army to pacify the night Qin and accept it as a vassal state, with the efforts of the emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty, the territory of the Liang State expanded rapidly, and the territory of the heyday started from Liaodong in the east, reached Xili in the west, and reached Lingnan in the south, and reached Beiyan in the north.

Today, although the land of the seven states in the west is called the seven states, the overall area is larger than the total area of the fourteen states in Jiangzuo combined.

Although Mu Qing had read a lot of books about the Western Realm during this time, he heard a detailed description from Lu Ze's mouth at this time, as if there was a Western Realm full of wind and sand and fierce folk customs, which was extremely real in front of him.

Mu Qing's tone was full of exclamation: "Western Realm... It's kind of interesting. ”

"When you get there, you'll know that it's not as interesting as Jinling." Lu Ze shook his head with a smile: "Over the years, the internal singing and dancing of Daliang has been leveled, but the friction in the border is not too big, most of the wars have occurred on the border between the western border and Dayu, and I took advantage of Dayu last time to bite them hard." ”

The topic of the conversation between the two gradually changed to the vertical and horizontal strategies of the battlefield.

Lu Ze talked about the beauty of the confrontation between the two armies, which was mixed with some of the core ideas of modern warfare, which caused Mu Qing, who grew up in the military book and his sister's words and deeds, to be amazed, and some of Lu Houye's thoughts... Doesn't seem like a normal person?

"Your sister asked you to go to the West, she should have other ideas."

"Maybe you'll have to figure it out for yourself later."

On the third day of the day, Lu Ze and Mu Qing had a simple meal in the courtyard, and then asked people to bring a prayer post and went to the courtyard of King Ji's Mansion.

Shortly after the post was handed over, the news came back.

"Lord Ji is invited!"

After Lu Ze and Mu Qing came to the door, they saw that Prince Ji immediately came out happily.

Although the generations are different and the age difference is a big one, King Ji, who only loves the wind and snow all his life, still retains the chic energy of his youth, and gets along very happily with the younger generations in Jinling City, and there is no feeling of a chasm in between.

This point is somewhat similar to that of the Empress Dowager.

The best son-in-law who plays with Ji Wangye in Kyoto is, of course, the uncle Yan Yujin, the pair of forgetful friends, and the two heads of the three days will gather together, and today happens to be the day when Yan Yujin comes to Tiger Hill to play.

"The two of you, one is Marquis Wu Wei, and the other is Prince Mu."

"Back then, I had a good relationship with the two of you, everyone ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and..."

Prince Ji looks like he is about fifty or sixty years old, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Emperor Liang, but his figure is more rounded, and when he laughs, he will show his front teeth with a sense of joy, giving people the feeling that he is not at all like the prince surnamed Xiao, but more like a pampered rich man.

King Ji's face was extremely ruddy, obviously he had just drunk a lot of wine.

At this time, he happily pulled Lu Ze and Mu Qing's arms and walked into the house.

The guests in the room, Yan Yujin, Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi, all went out of the room to greet them.

Yan Gongzi's eyes lit up even more when he saw Lu Ze, he, a boy who likes to be lively and gossip, what he wanted to know most was the story between Lu Hou Ye and the Nihuang County Lord; Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi didn't look very good at this time, and the two brothers forced a smile on their faces.

"I've seen Lu Hou Ye and Mu Xiao Wangye."

Ji Wangye's drinking party became more lively.

When you are drinking and feasting, you spend all day drinking, and when you are in high spirits, of course, you can talk about everything.

King Ji's favorite, of course, is the glamorous topic of fat and pink fragrance, when tasting the beauties of the capital, King Ji's experience, no one in the entire Jinling City can match.

When the eyebrows fly and the color dances, the color is also endless.

Yan Yujin is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and the most admired is the top Gong Yu girl in Miaoyin Fang.

Mu Qing had three cups and two cups, and the conversation was equally hot: "Lu Hou had a bad relationship with the red-sleeved girl Qin Panruo, and at that time he..."

Speaking of which, the expressions of the other three sons couldn't help but become strange.

Only Prince Ji smiled, and showed Lu Ze an expression of 'I understand you' and 'I am in the same way as you'.

Miaoyinfang, Yang Liuxin and Red Sleeve Move, compared with the first two of the fame for a long time, the newly established Red Sleeve Move is a latecomer, but from the recent trend, the limelight of Red Sleeve Move seems to be getting more and more prosperous, and gradually there is a trend of the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave.

The music of Miaoyinfang and the dance of Yang Liuxin always need guests to savor it.

And the secret weapon of the red sleeves to attract customers - beauty, if this kind of thing is taken out, it will be killed in all directions.

In this world, there may be men who don't like music and dance, but there is definitely no man who doesn't like beautiful women.

Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi's family education is strict, although Uncle Guo let his son Yan Yujin grow up freely, but after all, there are still many people in the Yan family in Kyoto, and it is just a matter of going to a place like Miaoyinfang to listen to music on weekdays.

Qin Banruo is not a boss who likes to show his face outside.

But most people in Kyoto know that the mysterious boss behind the red sleeves is a woman with a gorgeous face.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Ze said gently: "It's just a friend." ”

Everyone quickly talked about Yang Liuxin, and then talked about Yang Liuxin's murder by the way.

King Ji raised his hand high at this time: "I, I, I... I know! ”

Yan Yujin's eyes widened: "Do you know, prince?" How the hell was he killed at that time! ”

Although King Ji drank a lot of wine, his mind was barely sober, and when he was asked by Yan Yujin, he immediately told everyone what happened that day, and it was a pity not to go to the tea shop to be a storyteller.

It turned out that Ji Wangye was also at the scene that day and witnessed the incident.

When the sun was setting, when everyone finally said goodbye to King Ji, Yan Yujin was about to leave and asked Lu Ze about the story between him and the Nihuang County Lord, Lu Ze smiled and said: "You are a big mouth, if you really tell you, I'm afraid the entire Jinling City will know about it tomorrow." ”

Yan Yujin replied stupidly: "How can there be." ”

And Xiao Jingrui, who was not in a good mood, finally showed a smile on his face at this time.

After knowing that his father sent someone to Xuelu to assassinate Brother Su a few days ago, Xiao Jingrui's worldview has changed dramatically, and he has always been silent at King Ji's banquet just now, because there were some conflicts between Lu Ze and Tianquan Villa a few days ago.

When Lu Ze was about to leave after going out, Xiao Jingrui suddenly stopped him.

"Master Hou, is it convenient to chat?"

Yan Yujin looked at his friend with some concern, Xiao Jingrui shook his head at him, and looked ahead.

Lu Ze turned his head and said with a smile: "If it's because of the two assassins in Tianquan Villa, then I don't think it's necessary." ”

"If you want to know more, you can go to the Criminal Department to check the specific case file, my case is not as simple as the Orchid Garden corpse hiding case and the brothel murder case."

Xiao Jingrui's brows furrowed.

"But why did Master Hou use such means to deal with them?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Yujin beside him sighed directly.

Lu Ze put his hands behind his back and looked at the eldest prince of the Xiao family with a pure heart from afar, with a hint of pity in his eyes, but what he said next was extremely cruel: "Those two assassins assassinated Benhou, does Xiao Gongzi want me to punish the criminals according to the law of the Great Liang?" Not to mention that he is just a disciple of Tianquan Villa, even if he is the owner of Tianquan Villa, if he dares to assassinate Ben Hou, I will still break his two tendons and hang them on the suspension bridge on Suzaku Street to set an example. ”

"Those who violate the prohibition by force should be punished."

Lu Ze's words were full of supreme domineering.

Mu Qing, who was beside Lu Ze, had his eyes shining, and he only felt that his brother-in-law just now was so handsome.

After Lu Ze and Mu Qing left, Xiao Jingrui stood in place sluggishly, in his heart, Lu Hou Ye was a great hero for the country, that day at the south gate of Jinling City, he looked at more than 100 Lu Hou guards who returned to Beijing from the west, and his eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

But now Xiao Jingrui knows how shallow his understanding of Wuweihou is.

Just as he realized some time ago, it was as if he had never known his father.

Immature.

Amusing.

"Yujin, you say, am I really naïve?"

The friend next to him gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You're not wrong, it's just that everyone thinks differently." The distinction between right and wrong has never been important to the people in Jinling City. ”

Lu Ze, who turned the corner over there, listened to all of Yan Yujin's words into his ears.

Although Yan Gongzi is a big-mouthed person who likes to join in the fun, he can often see things very thoroughly.

Right and wrong matter, of course.

But only power can define right and wrong.

Just like Mei Changsu, who was stirring up the storm in Jinling City at this time, if he wants to overturn the old case twelve years ago, he needs to have enough strength, not just to expose the so-called truth.

......

Return to Kyoto.

Mu Qing told her sister everything that happened that day in the palace mansion.

Especially Lu Ze's domineering words at the end attracted Mu Qing's approval: "Chivalry is forbidden by force, my brother-in-law... Ahem, what Hou Ye Lu said is really domineering, I agree with it! ”

Nihuang looked at Mu Qing with a smile: "How do I think it's because of your own mediocre martial arts that you will..."

Mu Qing touched his head and smiled: "If you see through it, you can't say it." ”

Ni Huang looked at the hazy night outside the window, and sighed softly: "Lu Ze's words are to pierce the film of Jing Rui's self, now the situation in Kyoto is unpredictable, even if there is the eldest princess of Liyang and Xie Hou Ye behind him, he may not be involved in it in the future, if he can recognize some things as soon as he is now, it is a good thing for Jing Rui." ”

Seeing such a sincere child gradually change his appearance, even the Nihuang County Lord would feel unbearable.

But that's the way of the world.

.......

Lu Ze said that Yan Yujin was a big mouth, and the latter still didn't admit it.

But Xiao Jingrui's sudden laughter at that time obviously proved this.

Uncle Guo's son is a well-traveled person, and he likes to chat with each other, and the next day he spread this bloody case witnessed by King Ji as a talking point.

Therefore, the whole of Kyoto knows that Ji Wangye is the most ironclad evidence of the brothel murder case.

At this time, the dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City already knew that He Wenxin had indeed killed someone with his own hands, and it was Prince Ji who saw it with his own eyes.

Qi Min, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sent away Master Ji of the Yuwang Mansion, and of course the discussion was about He Wenxin, Qi Min sighed secretly in his heart: "Lord He, it's not that I don't help you wholeheartedly, it's really that your son is too unlucky." ”

His Royal Highness King Yu has put a lot of effort into witnesses during this time, and he wants to change murder to manslaughter.

Now that there are more ironclad witnesses coming out, He Wenxin is really unlucky.

......

At the same time, the story about Lu Houye and the boss of the red sleeves also began to circulate in Kyoto...
