Thunderbolt –

With a thunderclap, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, followed by fine rain, ticking down on the street, making people feel that the wind and clouds are changeable.

Lu Wenzhao walked on the road, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and Yu Huatian's indifferent eyes and murderous words were like a morning bell at dusk, which kept ringing in his ears, making him feel confused for a while, and he didn't know what to do at all.

"Stepping on ......"

The team has unconsciously arrived at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

But when he was about to enter the mansion, Lu Wenzhao suddenly stopped, looked at Shen Lian and a few people next to him, and ordered:

"You go to settle the case first, I'll do something and come back later."

Hearing this, Shen Lian and the others all showed doubts in their eyes, but they didn't want to ask too much, and arched their hands:

"Yes, sir."

Lu Wenzhao didn't say much, turned around and walked in the direction he was coming from.

Li Jiang, the second Taibao, Huang Chihu and others returned to the house together, and they all saw Lu Wenzhao coming to the door but leaving, and a trace of strange color flashed in their eyes when they saw this.

Huang Chihu frowned and said, "What is he going to do?" ”

Li Jiang smiled and said: "Before, at the wharf in the eastern suburbs, I heard that the treasure ship that the emperor was riding on patrol had an accident, which caused the emperor to fall into the water and contracted the wind and cold. ”

"Hasn't he been on missions with us all the time? How can you do these things? Huang Chihu was puzzled.

Eleventh Taibao Jiang Yifan sneered: "There are some things, you don't have to do it yourself, this Lu Wenzhao participated in the battle of Sarhu, and later joined our Beisi, he can be literate and martial, and has a forbearant personality, and he got into the position of a thousand households in a few years, but this person has a gloomy mind, and no one can see through him, and it is not surprising that he would do such a bold thing." ”

"Moreover, as Father-in-law Yu, there is no reason to target him for no reason, so he probably can't get out of this matter."

Li Jiang shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, murdering the emperor, once it is confirmed that this matter is related to him, not only will so many years of hard work be in vain, but I am afraid that the death will be ugly......"

In the rear, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and others listened to Shangguan's discussion and didn't dare to interject, but several people glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a trace of worry and solemnity.

…

Lu Wenzhao naturally couldn't hear these discussions, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to them at the moment.

What he wants to know most now is whether the emperor fell into the water or not?

If so, how did Yuhuatian know? And also know that this matter has something to do with him?

If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, not only him, but I am afraid that even King Shin will lose his head, and his years of waiting and layout will also be burned.

So he will not be reconciled!

Therefore, his destination was clear, and after leaving the northern city, he went straight to the mansion of King Shin in the south of the city.

After hurrying in the rain, he came to the palace of King Xin, turned around and looked carefully for a moment, and after making sure that no one was following him, his figure flashed, and he jumped up the wall and climbed into the quiet courtyard.

At this time, at the door of the living room at the back of the courtyard, there was a red-robed figure, quietly looking at the rain outside, and seeing Lu Wenzhao coming in, there was no surprise, it seemed that he had expected him to come.

"Lord Wang!"

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was waiting at the door, Lu Wenzhao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Well, I'm back."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's appearance of impending a catastrophe but not knowing it, Lu Wenzhao frowned, and was about to speak, when a few more people walked out of the house.

There were a man and two women, led by a tall woman wearing a white samurai outfit, with a heroic posture and holding a shadow knife; A man and a woman in the back were a little younger, respectfully following behind the woman in white, seemingly the younger of the woman in white.

Lu Wenzhao looked at it, his eyes were first happy, and then his brows furrowed again: "Senior sister! Tai'er, Chong'er, are you really it? ”

This woman in white is Lu Wenzhao's younger sister, Ding Baiying, and behind her are her two apprentices: Ding Tai and Ding Chong.

The three of them didn't notice that Lu Wenzhao's face was wrong, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the three of them were all happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:

"Senior brother!"

"Uncle!"

Lu Wenzhao's face was solemn, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to say anything else, let me ask you, did you do the case of the emperor falling into the water?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned.

Even Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" Master Ding, didn't you recommend them to help this king? Then this matter is naturally what the king ordered them to do, although they did not do it directly, but it has nothing to do with them. Is something wrong? ”

"Big trouble!"

When Lu Wenzhao heard this, his heart sank completely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang, this matter ......"

"Who?!"

Before the words fell, Ding Baiying seemed to notice something, turned her head suddenly, looked at a rockery in the courtyard, and shouted: "Come out!" ”

The rest of the people's faces also changed slightly, and they immediately realized that someone was following here, and they all turned their heads to look at each other, looking wary.

"Stomble—"

I didn't let a few people wait long, and since it was discovered, the people who came simply didn't hide it, and walked out directly from behind the rockery.

I saw that this person was wearing a black samurai uniform, carrying a large Royal Forest saber on his shoulder, wearing a ponytail, and looking at Ding Baiying and the three of them with a complicated face:

"Master, I didn't expect it to be you."

Someone who came, he was Ding Xiu.

"Xiu'er?"

"Senior brother!"

Ding Baiying and the three of them were stunned for a moment, then they were overjoyed, and hurriedly relaxed their vigilance and greeted Ding Xiu.

Ding Tai said happily: "Senior brother, where have you been these days?" We've been looking for you for a long time! ”

"Don't go over!"

At this time, Lu Wenzhao was full of surprise and puzzlement, stopped the three of them, looked at Ding Baiying and said, "Senior sister, is he your apprentice?" ”

Ding Baiying was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother, didn't I tell you that I have accepted four apprentices?" Tai'er and Chong'er are the second and third, the eldest is him, named Ding Xiu, and there is a fourth child, named Ding Xian, but the two of them have more out-of-the-box personalities, I ......"

Before the words fell, Lu Wenzhao's face had sunk, he looked back at Ding Xiu, and interrupted:

"Senior sister, do you know the current identity of this person?"

Ding Baiying was puzzled, also looked at Ding Xiu, frowned and asked, "Xiu'er, what is your identity now?" ”

Ding Xiu was silent for a moment, and he didn't hide it: "I am now the second gear head of the West Factory. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Ding Baiying's three expressions were incredible, and then Ding Baiying was suddenly furious, looked at Ding Xiu and shouted: "Xiu'er, I know that you have a profligate personality and don't care much about secular rules, but how can you join the West Factory and work hard for that group of eunuchs?!" ”

Lu Wenzhao said with a gloomy face: "Xichang Factory Gongyu Huatian already knows that the emperor's case of falling into the water was done by the prince, and he also knows that this matter is related to us, he sent this person to secretly follow me here, and he must have come to find evidence." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed again.

A hint of murder appeared in Zhu Youzhen's eyes: "He has heard too much, and he still serves the West Factory, so he must not stay!" ”

Ding Baiying's heart tightened, there was a trace of struggle in her eyes, and she looked at Ding Xiu and said: "Xiu'er, it's still too late for you to turn back, as long as you leave the West Factory and swear not to tell what you heard today, I will plead with the prince......"

"Master!"

Ding Xiu's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Since I have been loyal to the Overseer, I will never betray it. ”

"Moreover, I know what you want, Master, but if you want to change the way of the world, you will not be able to assassinate the emperor, it will only make the world more chaotic and the people more miserable!"

"It's not just me who thinks so, you go and see your favorite little junior brother, he is also serving the imperial court now, two years ago he killed a Jinyi guard, took the place of that Jinyi guard, changed his name to Jin Yichuan, and now he is working under my uncle."

"You go and ask him, does he want to kill the emperor?"

Ding Baiying's body trembled, and he looked at him incredulously: "You, you ......"

Lu Wenzhao's eyes also showed a hint of surprise, Jin Yichuan was a small flag official under Lu Jianxing, and he also had an excellent relationship with Shen Lian, the three of them were sworn brothers, so it was naturally impossible for him not to know.

But he never thought that the two apprentices of his junior sister, one was serving the West Factory, and he had to salute even when he saw it, and the other was doing things right under his nose, and he didn't even notice it!

Ding Xiu glanced at Lu Wenzhao and said: "The overseer has already said the relationship between you and me, and he also told me that this king of faith is definitely not the master, even if he becomes the emperor, he can't change anything, if you want to change this world, it is the right choice to be your Beisi Qianhu and dedicate yourself to the superintendent." ”

"I can pretend that I didn't hear what I said just now, but with the wisdom of the Overseer, one day it will be found on your head, if you turn back now, I can intercede with the Overseer and try to save your lives, if you still insist on following this King of Faith to death, the result will definitely be a dead end!"

Zhu Youzhen's face instantly turned cold: "Kill him!" ”

Ding Baiying and his two apprentices turned pale and were a little at a loss.

Lu Wenzhao hesitated, and his hands slowly stroked the hilt of the knife.

At this time, Ding Xiu glanced at him sarcastically, then looked at Ding Baiying, bowed, and said:

"Master, we have been working hard for the peace of the world, you taught me martial arts, I am very grateful, but if one day we really contradict each other, then this love will be cut off."

"I don't want to help the Overseer deal with you, but I will never betray the Overseer!"

After that, he glanced at Zhu Youzhen coldly, turned around and stepped onto the wall in three or two steps, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Zhu Youzhen's face changed drastically, he looked at Ding Baiying and the others next to him, and said angrily: "Why don't you stop him?" ”

"It's useless."

Ding Baiying's will was low, and he shook his head and said: "He has a very high talent in martial arts, and he was not weaker than me as early as three years ago, if he wants to leave, none of us can stop him." ”

Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth: "Then what now?" He is now working for the West Factory, and he has heard the evidence of our plan, if we don't get rid of him, we will all die! ”

Lu Wenzhao said in a deep voice: "Yuhuatian seems to have known that this matter was done by the prince, and he also knows that the person who did this is related to his humble position, even if Ding Xiu doesn't come, I'm afraid that he will track it down to the prince!" ”

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand: "This matter is very hidden in this matter, how can he know?!" ”

Lu Wenzhao was silent, and he also wanted to know why.

At this time, Ding Baiying suddenly raised her head, the loneliness and struggle on her face had long since disappeared, and was replaced by indifference:

"It's too late to say this, and the top priority is to find a way to destroy the evidence."

"Although this matter was planned by the prince, the prince did not take action directly, and even we did not do it ourselves, and the person who did it on the treasure ship was Guo Zhen, the eunuch with the palm print of the official supervisor in the East Factory. He's one of ours, but as long as we get rid of him, this clue will be broken. ”

"Without evidence, even if Yuhuatian investigates it, he doesn't dare to do anything to the prince."

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up: "Yes, as long as there is no evidence, even if Yuhuatian tells the emperor, the emperor will not believe him, after all, this king is the emperor's younger brother." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Wenzhao next to him as if grasping a life-saving straw, and ordered: "This matter will be left to you to do, the speed must be fast, before the imperial court begins to investigate this matter, Guo Zhen must be eliminated!" ”

Next to her, Ding Baiying had been paying attention to his expression, and when she saw Zhu Youzhen saying that she wanted to get rid of Guo Zhen, there was not even a trace of hesitation in her eyes, only the decisiveness of survival and the resolute killing intent, and her heart was cold.

This Guo Zhen, like them, is his only henchman!

But now, in order to cut off this clue, he wants to get rid of this henchman so simply, and there is no hesitation or unbearability in his eyes......

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and it is true!

Now it's Guo Zhen, so if one day the imperial court tracks them down, will he be like now, and will he kill them without hesitation?

After all, for this king of letters, Guo is really a flaw, and they are also flaws......

Thinking of what Ding Xiu said when he left, Ding Baiying couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Believe in the king, not the master......
