Chapter 123: Who is the praying mantis and who is the cicada
Zhao Kai looked at the messy Donghai City, his face was extremely pale.
As the king of Zuoxian, who is a great worship, when has he suffered such humiliation, but today he was nakedly slapped in the face in his Donghai City, not to mention, and let people destroy more than 300 killers of the Northern Wei Dynasty at once.
And these killers took him countless energy and time to gather, in order to give the other party a thunderous blow at a critical time.
Who knew that a person named Lu Shen would be killed halfway.
"Where is this Lu Shen sacred! Check it out for me! ”
"Lord Wang, this person, this person seems to be the Lu Shen recommended to His Majesty by the Meishan Sage."
A guy dressed as a scribe walked out of a room, and after making sure that it was very safe, he hurriedly ran to Zhao Kai's side and said.
"Meishan?" Zhao Kai was stunned: "When did Meishan recommend this person to His Majesty?" ”
The scribe hurriedly took out a blank piece of paper from his bosom, on which was written a very special poem.
"Qin Yuanchun?"
When Zhao Kai read out this poem, he fell into shock.
"Who wrote this poem, it is so majestic!"
The scribe said: "Lord Wang, this Qinyuan Spring was written by a person named Lu Shen. ”
"Lu Shen?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment: "You mean that Lu Shen wrote it just now?" ”
The scribe hesitated for a moment: "Well, that's not clear, but one thing seems to be right." ”
Looking at the scribe's spitting appearance, Zhao Kai held back his anger and said, "What? ”
"This Lu Shen is from the Cui family in Qiantang County, Jiangnan Province. is the son-in-law of the Cui family. ”
"The Cui family of Qiantang County?" Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sounded, isn't the purpose of the prince seconding the killer in his hands also Qiantang County?
With his understanding of the crown prince Zhao Kun, if this guy wants to do something, he will definitely not give anyone any backhand, but doesn't he know that this Lu Shen is a nine-rank powerhouse?
Or did he obviously know that the other party was a nine-rank powerhouse, so he came to his Donghai City to borrow troops, wouldn't he have dragged himself into the water?
If it is the latter, then this Lu Shen today is definitely the Lu Shen of the Cui family, and as soon as he came up, he asked himself for the killer of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even knew the specific number clearly.
This is not something that a son-in-law can know at all.
Unless there is a possibility that the person has obtained a list of these persons from elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai no longer understood the Tao, so this prince was in vain.
"Damn Zhao Kun, it's a shame that this king believes in him so much, but he is so troublesome!"
The scribe rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, if this Lu Shen is really the Lu Shen of the Cui family, and it is precisely the Double Nine Grade, what should we do?" ”
"Lord Wang, the powerhouse of the Double Nine Grades, the Great Fengchao can count it on one hand, since Lu Shen is so grandiose in killing in Donghai City, it must have been approved by the three princes and even His Majesty."
"That's right!" At this moment, Zhao Kai was even more sure that he was a gun in someone else's hand from beginning to end.
"Based on Mr.'s analysis, has His Majesty already started targeting me?"
The scribe pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty is now in retreat, and this matter should not be done by Your Majesty, after all, although there is a political disagreement between the prince and His Majesty, it has not reached the level of turning his face." ”
Zhao Kai watched the soldiers cleaning up the mess, thinking back to everything from the beginning when Lu Shen came to Donghai City to the time he just left, and couldn't help nodding: "That's right, if Your Majesty really turned against me, maybe Lu Shen wouldn't be the one who came today." ”
"And it's impossible to name names, as long as three hundred and sixteen Northern Wei killers."
The scribe said in a low voice: "Lord, the weapon that the prince promised us has not yet been given to us, and Lu Shen came over at this time, this fact is a bit boring." ”
"In the opinion of the gentleman?"
The scribe said: "The cooperation between us and the crown prince can be put on hold first, wait and see what happens, and then send someone to make friends with the three princes." ”
"After the battle between the crown prince and the third prince is over, we will decide who we want to help or not."
Zhao Kai thought so: "However, you are very thoughtful. It's just that my Donghai City has suffered so many casualties, if this king is silent, then won't this king become a joke? ”
The scribe said: "Lord, not long after the prince's people left, we were attacked by Lu Shen, could there be any connection between the two?" ”
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help nodding: "Pass the order, cut off all exchanges between Donghai City and the prince, help me write an excerpt, I want to impeach the prince!" ”
After Zhao Kai left, the scribe turned around and walked towards a small shop next to him, sat in the small shop for a while, and a small second came over with tea: "Guest officer, what do you want to order?" ”
The scribe glanced at Xiao Er, wrote a few lines on the table, and then turned to leave.
After a while, a carrier pigeon flew out of the shop.
......
Jiankang City.
The magnificent buildings of the Imperial City come into view, and the spacious streets are bustling with pedestrians coming and going.
Lu Shen walked forward with the flow of people, and was stopped by a little beggar at a corner: "This gentleman, are you Lu Shen?" ”
Lu Shen nodded,
A smile appeared on the little beggar's face: "I'm the field worker of the dark building, Mu Lang." ”
Lu Shen glanced at the little beggar and said, "Why, now the dark building has also been suppressed in Jiankang City?" ”
Mu Lang showed a trace of helplessness on his face: "I don't know why, during this time, the prince of Dafeng mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city and suppressed the power and industry of our dark building many times. ”
"The masters in the Imperial City have even suppressed the branches and headquarters of the Dark Building, and now the headquarters of our Dark Building has moved out of the Imperial City."
Lu Shen didn't expect the prince's suppression of the dark building to be so rapid, which was beyond his expectations.
"Who is in charge of the dark building in the city now?"
The little beggar handed a crumpled piece of paper to Lu Shen: "There is a detailed location on it, the sister in white is here, by the way, there is also the eldest lady of the Cui family, Cui Yingluo." ”
It was a secluded-looking house, a little remote, and few people knew that there would be such a house behind the jungle if no one had brought it with them.
When Lu Shen walked into the courtyard, he happened to see Ping'er and Ling'er who were busy.
The two killers of the Northern Wei Dynasty have now faded from their silk and satin, and are busy in coarse cloth clothes.
Seeing Lu Shen walk in, the two walked over with a look of joy on their faces: "You're back." ”
Lu Shen nodded: "How are things going lately?" ”
Ping'er shook her head: "There are two forces against us. ”
Lu Shen frowned: "Prince, who else?" ”
"Prime Minister Liu Ming."
Ling'er said on the side: "Emperor Dafeng is in retreat, and everything is handed over to the prime minister and the crown prince. ”
"Because of the three princes, the crown prince has put a lot of pressure on the dark building during this time, and because of the matter in Qiantang County, Prime Minister Liu Ming seems to have reached some kind of agreement with the prince, so now everyone in the entire imperial city is targeting us."
Lu Shen's face was as gloomy as water.
Ping'er glanced at Lu Shen, sighed slightly, and said, "Cui Yingluo and Sister Bai are in the room, you can go over." ”
When Lu Shen walked into the room, Bai Yi was sitting with Cui Yingluo, Cui Yingluo's face was thin, her face was sallow, her eyes had long since lost their expression, but she looked extremely sluggish.
At the moment she saw Lu Shen, Cui Yingluo cried out, like a wronged child.
Lu Shen stepped forward and gently hugged Cui Yingluo in his arms: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
There was a pain in his chest, Lu Shen lowered his head, and Cui Yingluo stared at himself with red eyes, biting his chest.
Lu Shen was in pain, but he only frowned slightly, allowing Cui Yingluo to bite him.
Bai Yi next to him wanted to stop it, but he heard Lu Shen say: "Sister Bai Yi, Yingluo has been suppressed for this time, just let her vent out." ”
"But?"
Lu Shen waved his hand, and the white clothes walked out with a sigh.
"You'll feel better if that's the case, I'd rather you'd bite me all over my body."
Cui Yingluo was shocked, and then collapsed on the ground weakly, and couldn't help crying loudly.
"Lu Shen, why did you come to our house, if you didn't come to our house, none of this would have happened."
"Who the hell are you?!"
Lu Shen wanted to hug Cui Yingluo, but was pushed away by the other party.
Looking at Cui Yingluo's suddenly calmed face, Lu Shen was slightly stunned.
"Lu Shen, let's go."
Cui Yingluo suddenly calmed down and looked at Lu Shen lightly: "I don't want to see you again." ”
Lu Shenyi sighed and said, "Yingluo, you listen to my explanation." ”
"Explain, what can you explain?"
Cui Yingluo's expression became slightly excited: "Where were you when the Cui family suffered a catastrophe?" Where were you when my father's life and death were uncertain? Eyes without relatives, when I was helpless in Jiankang City, where were you? ”
"I listen to you? I listen to your explanation, can the people of the Cui family come back to life? Will my dad come back safe and sound? ”
Lu Shen stood there, letting Cui Yingluo smash punch after punch on him.
Outside the door, Ping'er listened to the noise inside: "Sister in white, why don't we go in and persuade you?" ”
"Don't go in, Yingluo has indeed been suppressed for too long this time, it's better to let her vent."
"But?"
Bai Yi shook his head: "It's nothing, who let Lu Shen have nothing to experience life, and made it like this, all this is Lu Shen's responsibility, and it is reasonable." ”
