Meishan left, Lu Shen's face was gloomy, he didn't expect the prince to move the Cui family so soon.

Cui Million's whereabouts are unknown, and the rest of the Cui family is estimated to have been killed, but fortunately, Cui Yingluo is fine for the time being, otherwise Lu Shen will really go crazy.

"Zhao Kun, you'd better give me a stop, otherwise, no matter if you are the prince or not, I will screw off your head."

Lu Shen adjusted his mentality and continued to walk towards the palace.

The weather in the Northern Wei Dynasty has not been very good in the past few days, with clouds and heavy snowfall, and the roads in the countryside are a lot whiter because there are few pedestrians.

After getting on the official road, there were more people and horses, and those pedestrians who came from Tiannan and Haibei towards the imperial city of the Northern Wei Dynasty were in groups of three or five, or formed a convoy, and headed towards the city gate.

There are dozens of thatched huts on both sides of the official road, don't look simple, there is everything inside, but the price is not cheap.

These are all deals made here by powerful people in the surrounding area.

Lu Shen looked at one of the thatched huts, the linen curtains shielded the wind and snow, the chimney emitted a faint green smoke, and a vague smell of tea wafted out of the window.

Lu Shen walked over directly.

"Hey, do you know what this place is?"

At the door, a meaty-faced Xiao Er glanced at Lu Shen indifferently.

Lu Shen said with a smile: "Naturally, I came here to drink tea, could it be that I came here to inquire about the news?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Your Excellency is here to find fault."

Lu Shen shook his head: "Don't you dare to find fault, in this Northern Wei Dynasty, who dares to find fault in front of Dongfang Mansion." ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard that Lu Shen had actually told his own family master, he immediately became vigilant, his whole body tensed, and his hands touched his waist: "Who is Your Excellency, who actually knows my Dongfang family?" ”

Lu Shen smiled: "Don't be so nervous, first of all, one thing can be clear, I am not a bad person, of course, in front of the Dongfang family, no matter how bad a person is, he has become a good person." ”

Xiao Er was immediately annoyed: "I see that Your Excellency is purely looking for a draw!" ”

A cold light lit up behind Xiao Er, and the long knife as thin as a cicada's wings slashed directly towards Lu Shen.

Lu Shen smiled lightly, his figure was like lightning, he turned directly behind Xiao Er, and directly pinched Xiao Er's shoulder with a fluttering palm, and then pulled his wrist to pull Xiao Er back to him, and then slapped him in the face.

Xiao Er was beaten out of the real fire, and immediately shouted: "Ya, I think you are tired and crooked!" ”

Xiao Er was about to cut it off with a knife, but he was so frightened by a token that he stiffened on the spot: "After seeing it clearly, you will decide whether to cut me or not." ”

The black token was painted with a strange pattern on it, which made Xiao Er's face pale, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs went weak.

"Alright, kneeling is free."

Lu Shen raised his feet and walked inside: "Is Dongfang Ao here?" ”

Xiao Er's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "The head of the family is generally not here." ”

Lu Shen walked into the room, except for a few passers-by drinking tea here, there was only one shopkeeper lying on the counter crackling and settling accounts.

Seeing Lu Shen come in, he was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "Sir, you, why are you here?"

"What, I'm not welcome?"

Lu Shen raised his feet and walked towards the backyard: "You are the shopkeeper, you should know how to contact Dongfang Ao faster." ”

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed greatly: "Sir, later, I will go and inform the master of the house." ”

Lu Shen nodded: "In a quarter of an hour, I want to see Dongfang Ao standing in front of me." ”

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, I am the master of the Flying Eagle Messenger Family." ”

Lu Shen nodded and said to Xiao Er beside him: "Don't be stunned, a stick of incense is enough time for me to drink a few sips of tea, and I will die of thirst along the way." ”

The time of a stick of incense was very fast, and when the tea in the cup was drunk, there was a sudden stop of horses' hooves outside, and then a figure walked in wrapped in wind and snow.

"Where's the gentleman?"

Xiao Er saw that his head of the family was panicked, and hurriedly said, "Mr. is drinking tea in the backyard." ”

Dongfang Ao hurriedly walked towards the backyard, and when he saw Lu Shen, his resolute face couldn't help but show shock and surprise, and then laughed: "When did Mr. arrive in the Northern Wei Dynasty, why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”

Looking at Dongfang Ao, who was about to bow down, Lu Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are the head of the family now, don't kneel at every turn." ”

Lu Shen pulled Dongfang Ao and walked inside.

"Sir, are you in a hurry this time?"

Lu Shen nodded and said, "I want to see the empress." ”

"What?"

Dongfang Ao was stunned: "Sir, do you want to see the empress?" This, this thing may not be too easy to do. ”

Lu Shen picked up the teacup and chuckled: "Okay, don't pretend garlic in front of me, in the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if anyone has the ability to see the empress at any time, it must be your Dongfang family." ”

Dongfang Ao smiled bitterly: "Sir, I don't know, the empress is not in the palace during this time. ”

"The Empress is not here?"

Lu Shen frowned: "Where can she go?" ”

Dongfang Ao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but after the high priest and the national teacher came back the day before yesterday, the two secretly entered the palace, and yesterday there was news that His Majesty went out to hunt the world." ”

"As for where she went, she said that she went to the East China Sea to watch the sun, some said that she went to Kunlun Baishan in the west, and some said that she went to the northern Turkic border to patrol, so ......"

How could Lu Shen not understand the truth, it was obvious that the empress was hiding from herself.

Lu Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Can you find out the accurate news of the empress?" ”

Dongfang Ao looked embarrassed.

Lu Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I won't trouble you in this matter, but there is something you have to do for me." ”

As soon as he heard the news that he was not allowed to inquire about the empress, Dongfang Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If the gentleman needs it, just give orders." ”

"Find out who is trading with Prince Dafeng in the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

The Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Dressed in a black dragon robe, phoenix eyes and red lips, the delicate and unparalleled Empress Shangguan Hongyan of the Northern Wei Dynasty was looking at the books in her hand, and a female official in purple was waiting next to her, with a cold face.

"Linglong, who did Lu Shen meet?"

The purple-clothed female official said: "I met Shangguan Yan, and I am currently meeting Dongfang Ao of the Dongfang family outside the city." ”

Shangguan Hongyan frowned slightly: "See Shangguan Ao? What the hell is this guy trying to do? ”

Linglong snorted: "I think this guy is obviously here to find fault." A small dark building killer dared to be so brazen in the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so unscrupulous, he really deserved to be killed! ”

Shangguan Hongyan shook his head and said: "But anyone who really has the ability never does things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, he dares to come so blatantly, naturally it is expected that we will not dare to act easily." ”

Linglong clasped her hands into fists: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and kill this person." ”

Shangguan Hongyan waved his hand: "You are not his opponent yet, this person can retreat from the hands of the national teacher and the high priest, how can he be dealt with by ordinary people?" ”

"And this person's literature, Taoism, and martial arts are all in the realm of the Nine Grades, so he is one step away from consummation."

Linglong was shocked: "Isn't this person comparable to the masked Tanhua back then?" ”

Shangguan Hongyan smiled bitterly in her heart, she naturally wouldn't say anything more to Linglong about the truth of the matter, after all, there were probably no more than three people in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty who knew what the masked Tanhua looked like back then.

Shangguan Yan is one, he is one, and the other is the Emperor Taishang who is now sitting in the depths of the palace.

"Since Lu Shen wants to see me, then I will give him this opportunity, I want to see what he wants to do this time."

Linglong's face was incredible: "Your Majesty, even if he is very powerful, he is a person after all, can I let him gallop?" ”

"Bold!"

Shangguan Hongyan glared at Linglong: "You don't know this person, don't talk about it." ”

"Lu Shen, this person is not as simple as you think."
