After returning from Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Zhen's mentality has undergone some subtle changes, according to his long-term experience with Princess Taiping, he knows that Princess Taiping is a very skillful and ambitious woman, if there is no clear way, she will not find herself in the middle of the night.

Li Zhen's nervous heart relaxed slightly, and when he returned to the Internal Security Department, he immediately ordered the soldiers to find Zhao Qiuniang, at this time the team had been assembled, and after waiting for a long time, Yang Honglie stepped forward and asked: "General, do we have to wait for a while before leaving?"

Li Zhen nodded, "The situation has changed, I won't go to Yique County anymore." ”

At this time, Zhao Qiuniang walked briskly and said with a smile: "Why hasn't the general set off yet?"

"I have a new idea!"

He asked Zhao Qiuniang in a low voice, "Is that person still in Baique Villa now?"

Zhao Qiuniang understood and nodded lightly, "The brother who monitored him has no news, and he should still be there." ”

Li Zhen looked at the sky again, just after the fifth watch, it was the deepest night, he immediately said to Yang Honglie: "Immediately go out of the city to the west and go to Baique Villa!"

Hundreds of internal guard soldiers mounted their horses one after another, urging their horses to rush out of the gate of the official office, and followed Li Zhen to the south gate at a gallop.

When Li Zhen led his men to Baique Villa, it was just dawn, but many farmers had already come to the corn field early and began to harvest crops busily.

Everyone laughed, they actually thought they were here to hunt, which was quite interesting, Li Zhen pointed to the war horse behind him and smiled: "Please ask Qigong to bring someone to lead our horses to the village." ”

"No problem!"

Yao Qigong beckoned a group of villagers, and all the soldiers dismounted one after another, handed over their horses to the villagers, and they followed Li Zhen along the mountain road and quickly ran towards the mountain.

As soon as they arrived at the top of the mountain, two internal security soldiers who were monitoring the house came forward to salute and reported: "General Qiyu, they have not left, they are all in the house!"

Li Zhen nodded, turned back to Yang Honglie and said, "Take the brothers to surround this house, and no one is allowed to escape!"

Yang Honglie waved his hand and led dozens of soldiers to quickly occupy the various exits of the house, surrounding the house, at this time, Li Zhen stepped forward with fifty soldiers, and some soldiers had already stepped forward to smash the door, and in a moment, the door opened, and Wu Furong appeared at the door again with a group of warriors.

When she saw Li Zhen standing outside the door with a large group of internal guard soldiers, she couldn't help but be stunned, and only said after a while: "General Li, didn't you say that you will give us ten days?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Wu, the situation has changed temporarily, I want to meet the person you are hiding in the backyard." ”

Wu Furong's face suddenly changed greatly, her hand pressed on the hilt of her sword, and she stared at Li Zhen viciously, "I don't understand what I mean, I didn't hide anyone!"

Li Zhen still said in a flat tone: "Don't hide it, the stand-in in Guangzhou has been exposed, and last night the saint was furious and summoned Wu Sansi overnight." ”

Wu Furong was so frightened that she took two steps back, what she was most worried about finally happened, she pointed at Li Zhen and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you here...... Are you here to arrest someone?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "I'm not here to arrest people, but if Miss Wu doesn't cooperate, then I'll have to be polite, I'll tell you the truth, I brought a hundred elite internal guards, all of them can fight five with one, can Miss Wu escape this catastrophe?"

Wu Furong's face was red and white, and her eyes showed timidity, so she had to ask, "What are you going to do?"

"As I said, I don't want to arrest anyone today, I just want to talk to you. ”

Wu Furong looked at the large group of soldiers outside, she gritted her teeth and said, "At most, ten people can come in!"

"No problem!"

Li Zhen glanced at a group of soldiers, and ten soldiers followed him into the mansion, which was the first time Li Zhen saw the mansion, only to see the mansion lined with green trees, exquisite pavilions and pavilions hidden in the green trees, and several mountain springs converged into a stream, gurgling from the mansion.

Li Zhen was amazed by the scenery here, "Yes! The scenery is beautiful, I like it very much." ”

Wu Furong glared at him, and suddenly remembered that this was already his property, and his eyes couldn't help but be gloomy, his father always did wrong things, bringing endless disasters to his family, and now he couldn't even keep the family business.

"General Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Walking into the lobby, Wu Furong asked angrily.

Li Zhen shook his head, "I'm not talking to you, I'm going to talk to your father." ”

"What do you have to talk to him about?"

Li Zhen took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Wu Furong, "You take this jade pendant and show it to your father, if he doesn't want to talk, then I'll leave." ”

Wu Furong hesitantly took the jade pendant, looked at it, and felt that this jade pendant was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while, so she nodded, "You wait a moment!"

Wu Furong took the jade pendant and walked quickly to the back house, and after a while, she hurriedly walked back, the jade pendant in her hand was gone, she nodded to Li Zhen and said, "You come with me!"

The two walked to the back house one after the other, followed by Li Zhen's ten subordinates, and after a while, they came to the courtyard where Wu Chengsi was hiding, Wu Furong pushed open the door and walked in, Li Zhen also followed, only to see a half-bald middle-aged man sitting at the small table and looking at the jade pendant just now.

He glanced up at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen recognized that this half-bald man was Wu Chenghe, who had deposed him and went to Guangzhou, compared with the last time he saw him, he seemed to be more than ten years old, the skin on his face was loose and sagging, his eyelids were puffy, his hair was gray and scarce, and he still looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Wu Chengsi glanced at Li Zhen, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he calmed down again, raised the jade pendant and asked, "This is Wu Sansi's family jade pendant, how can it be in your hands?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Mr. Wu's inquiry like this doesn't seem to be the way of hospitality!"

"You-"

Wu Chengsi held back his anger and waved his hand viciously and said, "Please sit down!"

Li Zhen sat down opposite him, and glanced at Wu Furong behind him, Wu Furong sat down on the side without saying a word, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in her hand, she actually had an unbelievable feeling in her heart, Li Zhen actually sat down face to face with her father, this situation was unimaginable a few months ago, but at this time she was extremely worried, her father went north without authorization, and the saint already knew, what should I do?

Wu Chengsi was very puzzled in his heart, this piece of clan jade in his hand is generally not easy to give to people, let alone Wu Sansi, how could it be in Li Zhen's hands, he asked a little impatiently: "Now you can say it! How is this piece of jade in your hand?"

"This is an agreement between me and Wu Sansi, this agreement is related to you, and the jade pendant is his token to me. ”

"What agreement?" Wu Chengji couldn't help but ask a little nervously when he heard that it had something to do with him.

Li Zhen looked at him and said, "Wu Sansi wants your head, and as a condition, he will give me a night pearl, which is a condition he took the initiative to propose." ”

'Whoa!', the small table was overturned, Wu Chengsi stumbled back a few steps, pulled out his sword from the wall, pointed at Li Zhen and yelled, "You want to kill me, dream!"

Li Zhen was still motionless, he sighed secretly in his heart, everyone said that Wu Chengsi was as stupid as a pig, and Wu Sansi was shrewd as a ghost, and now it seemed that it was not bad at all, if he wanted to kill him, what would he sit here and talk to him? He was so panicked.

Wu Furong reacted first, stepped forward and snatched the sword from her father's hand, and said very dissatisfied: "Father, he didn't come to kill you, you listen to him." ”

Wu Chengsi's body had been hollowed out by the wine, and he gasped a few times and said, "You say, what are you going to do?"

"Mr. Wu, don't be impatient, please take a seat!" Li Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile.

Wu Chengsi looked at him with suspicion in his eyes, and slowly sat down again, Li Zhen smiled: "First of all, does Mr. Wu believe what I said?"

Wu Chengsi nodded slowly, gritted his teeth and said, "I know that he is bent on getting rid of me, he doesn't know how many times he has hurt me, and I will never let him go." ”

"Since Mr. Wu can be honest with each other, I will also tell the truth. ”

Li Zhen looked at Wu Chenghe, and said with a sincere face: "I don't like his night pearl, I didn't promise him, I just said to think about it." ”

"Are you here to negotiate terms with me?" Wu Chengsi suddenly understood what he meant.

Li Zhen nodded slowly, "I want to make a deal with Mr. Wu." ”

Wu Chengsi's mind was in chaos, his thinking was chaotic, he couldn't react at all, and he didn't know whether to agree, he looked at his daughter as if asking for help, but Wu Furong was very sober, she knew that since Li Zhen refused to agree to Wu Sansi's conditions, then the conditions he wanted must be very harsh.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, "Then what can General Li help us with?"

"I can help your father get rid of this disaster of leaving Canton without permission. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"It's very simple, you return to the ancestral land immediately, just say that Ling Zun dreamed of his deceased father crying, so he thought of his father, and secretly came back to repair the tomb for his father, and then I will prove that your father is indeed repairing the tomb, I think the saint will spare him this time in terms of filial piety, and maybe let him stay in the Central Plains. ”

Li Zhen's words reached Wu Furong's heart, she thought about it like this, but her father refused, she hurriedly asked again: "Then what conditions do you want?"

"My conditions are simple!"

Li Zhen looked at Wu Furong and said slowly: "I hope Wu Sansi will be dismissed, that's all." ”

But it's not so easy to do. Wu Furong pondered.

"It may be difficult for others, but you can do it, such as Wu Sansi's some unspeakable secret ......"

Li Zhen's gaze turned to Wu Chengsi again, Wu Chengsi had gradually entered the state from a daze, and he remembered Wu Sansi's various tricks on him.

Back then, Mr. Ming encouraged himself to poison with Buddhist scriptures, but this Mr. Ming was Wu Sansi's person, it was clearly Wu Sansi's instructions, and he was exiled to Guangzhou, behind which Wu Sansi was not promoted, or because he would compete with him for the position of prince, he spared no effort to frame himself.

Thinking of this, Wu Chenghe's teeth creaked, and without waiting for Wu Furong to answer, he immediately agreed to Li Zhen's conditions, "Then we will make a decision!"

Li Zhen got up to say goodbye, and soon led the army to leave the Hundred Bird Villa, Wu Furong asked her father with some concern, "Does my father really plan to cooperate with him?"

"If it was to deal with someone else, I might consider it, but Wu Sansi, I will never let him go. ”

Wu Chenghe's eyes shot bitter hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I can't be the prince, he doesn't want to be the prince!"

Wu Furong did not object, she actually hoped that her father could escape the catastrophe in front of her, but she hoped that Li Zhen could speak and help her father avoid the crime and stay in the Central Plains
