"What does Commander Li want me to do?"

Maybe it's because of the age, Yang Pei is extremely stubborn, he doesn't appreciate Li Zhen's persuasion to avoid him for the time being, in the state hall, Yang Pei unceremoniously stretched his face, "I'm a state assassin, how can you let me back down, do you hang the seal and go into hiding, or abandon the official and run away? If Junchen wants to retaliate, just let him be, I'll wait here to see what he can do to me."

Although Li Zhen was reluctant to persuade Yang Pei, whether it was for Li Xian or Shangguan Wan'er, he needed to make a gesture, he had tried his best, but Yang Pei resolutely refused to accept it.

Li Zhen was not annoyed, and smiled again: "I can understand Yang Tingshi's difficulties, and I don't want to persuade Yang Tingshi to leave, but I think Yang Tingshi should take precautions, such as destroying some sensitive correspondence documents as soon as possible, and some witness evidence must be dealt with as soon as possible, in short, to eliminate all the adverse effects on himself, does Yang Tingshi think that my suggestion is also difficult to accept?"

"Of course I can accept Commander Li's suggestion, and in fact I will do the same, however, I suggest that Commander Li should discuss it with His Royal Highness King Luling first to see what his attitude is?"

Yang Pei's implication was that he hoped that Li Zhen would not meddle with his affairs, if it was for the matter of the Xingtang Society, he could go to Li Xian, the king of Luling, of course, Li Zhen heard his hint, so he got up and said with a smile: "With Yang Tingshi's decades of officialdom connections, of course it is not a problem to deal with a small Lai Junchen, it seems that I am too worried and resigned."

"When Commander Li leaves, I'll not be far away. Yang Pei didn't raise his eyelids, and let Li Zhen leave.

Walking out of the gate of the state office, Di Yan immediately greeted him, "What did he say?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was actually kicked out?"

Di Yan was stunned, "He kicked you out?"

"Almost, let me leave him alone. ”

Di Yan was also resentful, "How can he be like this, others are kind-hearted to remind him, even if he doesn't accept it, he should listen humbly, how can he treat guests like this, no, I'm going to find him"

Di Yan turned around to enter the state office, Li Zhen grabbed her arm and shook his head at her, "Ah Yan, forget it"

"But—" Di Yan's eyes were full of worry, "If something happens to him, my father will be very sad, after all, after so many years of friendship, my father will also blame me."

"He'll come and beg me, but not now. ”

"So what do we do now?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "Since the matter in Fangzhou has been temporarily over, I plan to go back to Beijing to report on my work first, in short, we have not found the incident in the report letter."

Di Yan nodded silently, "I'll go back with you." ”

At this moment, a carriage came galloping towards this side, stopped in front of Li Zhen, and the curtain opened, revealing Li Chongrun's broad face, and he said with anxiety: "Commander Li, my father has just received a decree from the Holy Lord, asking him to return to Beijing immediately. “

King Luling was temporarily recalled to the capital, there was no reason, and it was not a New Year's sacrifice, and this was the first time in the eleven years since he was deposed that he had been summoned to Beijing, which made Li Zhen have a bad feeling, could it be that something happened in the capital? What evidence did Wu Sansi find in the capital?

But at this time, Li Zhen didn't have time to think about it, he nodded to Li Chongrun and said, "In this case, we will also follow our peers and escort the prince into Beijing."

"Lao Li, you said that Junchen left Fangling overnight, did he get the news that King Luling was recalled to Beijing?"

Li Zhen slowed down the horse's speed, in fact, he was also thinking about it, before he didn't know why Lai Junchen suddenly stopped investigating the case and left overnight, he could only think about it like Di Yan, speculating that Lai Junchen was using a strategy to capture and indulge.

But now that he has received the news that King Luling has entered Beijing, it is easy to understand the motive of coming to Junchen, and he should also enter Beijing.

"It should be" Li Zhen smiled bitterly, he began to feel a little passive.

Li Zhen returned to Baishui Town, and as soon as he entered the gate of the temporary station, Zhao Qiuniang greeted him and said in a low voice: "I received an urgent pigeon letter from the Shangguan Sheren. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, Shangguan Wan'er sent a quick letter at this time, he was not surprised at all, he took the pigeon letter and walked quickly to the inner hall, Zhao Qiuniang was puzzled, pulled Di Yan and asked in a low voice: "Little junior sister, what's wrong with him?"

Di Yan pursed his lips, "King Luling was recalled to Beijing, and Lai Junchen also rushed back overnight, so he also knew that he should go back." ”

"Oh, I see, I said, how could the Shangguan Sheren send an urgent pigeon letter back?"

At this time, Li Zhen walked over quickly again and said to Zhao Qiuniang: "Immediately inform all the brothers to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing." ”

"Lu Jin, do they want to go back too?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "They continue to stay in Fangzhou, and we will escort King Luling back to Beijing." ”

Although no one told him the reason for entering Beijing, he vaguely felt that this entry into Beijing must be related to the recent incident under investigation, and it would not be a good thing, which made King Luling worried.

Worried to worried, Li Xian did not dare to disobey the holy decree, the holy decree was very clear, so that he immediately went on the road, and he and Princess Wei immediately packed up and prepared to go on the road.

Princess Wei Lian has been quite low-key these days, she is a smart person, she knows that since she has ceded power to Li Zhen, then she must remain silent and must not interfere again, so that the Wei brothers will honestly obey Li Zhen's arrangement, so as to avoid the risk of being involved in the crisis.

Although the crisis of the Wei family was alleviated by Li Zhen's decisive evacuation order, the crisis of the Xingtang Society quietly surfaced, Wei Lian faintly heard about the Xingtang Society last year, for which she pressed her husband twice, although Li Xian resolutely denied the matter twice, but Wei Lian's heart has always been like a stone, there is an indescribable pressure.

And this time the Son of Heaven summoned their husband and wife to Beijing, Wei Lian was even more worried, she slept with her husband for the first time, of course, not to restore the love of husband and wife, but she wanted to know the truth from her husband.

The husband and wife talked about it in the middle of the night, but Wei Lian still found nothing, and before dawn the next day, she got up and prepared to go.

This time the entry into Beijing was very hasty, Li Xian only brought a few eunuchs and palace maids who served him closely, and prepared two carriages, the eldest son Li Chongrun would accompany them, and in addition, there were twenty guards who would escort them along the way.

"Lord Wang, are there too few guards with us?" In front of the gate of the palace, Wei Lian looked at the twenty horseback guards outside the car window and asked with some concern.

Li Xian sat cross-legged in the carriage, he closed his eyes and recited the scriptures, as if he didn't hear his wife's worries at all, Wei Lian glanced back at him, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, what is the difference between reciting the scriptures all day long and the old monk.

She no longer ignored her husband and beckoned to her son Li Chongrun, Li Chongrun hurriedly urged him to step forward, and said, "Is there something wrong with my mother?"

"I think there are too few guards, and it might not be safe on the road, or bring some guards with me. ”

"Back to Mother, last night, Commander Li sent someone to tell the children that they would also accompany us to escort us. ”

Wei Lian was overjoyed, "Is Commander Li also going with him?"

"Exactly"

Li Xian, who had been chanting the scriptures next to him, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and then he regained his composure, as if he hadn't heard anything.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Han Zhiqi, the leader of the guards, shouted loudly: "It's the internal guards who are coming."

I saw about thirty internal guard warriors running in the distance, and the leader was Li Zhen, who urged the horse to run to the carriage, bowed to Wei Lian and said: "I have received an edict from the Holy Lord, and I will escort His Royal Highness and the princess into Beijing."

Wei Lian's heart suddenly let go, with Li Zhen escorting them into Beijing, at least she wouldn't worry about danger on the way.

Li Xian kept his eyes closed, concentrating on reciting his scriptures, and soon the two teams converged and escorted the two carriages out of the palace and along the official road to the east.

In the palace of King Liang in Luoyang, Wu Sansi was lying on the soft couch in the study with his eyes closed, and the two maids were massaging his back hard.

At this time, there was a report from the guards outside the door, "Your Highness, there is urgent news from Fangzhou"

"Bring it in"

Wu Sansi didn't wear clothes, the maid hurriedly pulled up the curtain, and after a moment the guard walked into the room, knelt down on one knee, and presented a pigeon letter high, the maid took the letter and gave it to Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi opened the letter and read it for a while, and immediately sat up and ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Ming to come over"

The guards hurriedly retreated, and Wu Sansi had no intention of massaging again, he got up and put on his clothes, and ordered the two maids: "Retreat first"

The maids packed up their things and retreated, and at this time, Mr. Ming's voice came from outside the door, "Is Your Highness looking for me?"

"Sir, please come in"

The door opened, and the thin Mr. Ming walked into the room, and he saluted Wu Sansi, "See Your Highness"

"Sir, please be seated"

Wu Sansi relied on Mr. Ming very much, and almost obeyed his advice, a few years ago he sent someone to Fangzhou to lurk was Mr. Ming's suggestion, and now it seems that his suggestion is completely correct, but what makes Wu Sansi slightly disappointed is that Lai Junchen did not cooperate with his plan, and actually let go of the Wei's private placement warriors, but turned to track down the Xingtang Society.

Although Wu Sansi was very annoyed that Lai Junchen changed his plan without authorization, but if Lai Junchen could destroy the Xingtang Society in one fell swoop, Wu Sansi would be even more overjoyed, compared to Wei's private collection of warriors from the disaster victims, the Xingtang Society was of course a big fish, and it was for this reason that he also began to change his plan and fully cooperate with Lai Junchen to track down the Xingtang Society.

Mr. Ming sat down and asked with a smile: "Who persuaded the Holy Lord to recall King Luling, has His Highness found out?"

Wu Sansi shook his head and said: "So far, I haven't been able to find out, but I got a little news, I'm afraid that this recall of Li Xian is related to the Xingtang Society." ”

After a pause, Wu Sansi said again: "I'm wondering, could it be Shangguan Wan'er?"

Mr. Ming laughed, "Your Highness, it won't be Shangguan Wan'er, she will never connect Li Xian with the Xingtang Society, besides, it is not a wise move for Li Xian to leave Luzhou under the current situation, even if Li Xian wants to return to Beijing to participate in the battle for succession, he will have to wait until the situation is clear, it is too dangerous to come back at this time." ”

Wu Sansi was silent, the current situation was indeed a bit chaotic, and he had a thought in his heart, could he take advantage of this chaotic situation to make a difference?

He hesitated and said, "I think...... Li Xian's return to Beijing this time may be an opportunity. ”

Mr. Ming understood what Wu Sansi meant, and he also thought that this was indeed an opportunity, but the risk was also very great, he thought for a while and said: "If His Highness must do it, it is not impossible, but this matter must not be done by His Highness, it must be done by others, and His Highness must not be suspicious." ”

Wu Sansi suddenly thought of something, and he smiled and said, "Sir reminded me, I think someone will be very willing to do this for me." ”
