Chapter One Hundred and One
Chu Luan can be regarded as diligent every day, Rao is like this, and I don't know who the first person in this mansion is.
As dawn approached, she saw Ruyi come into her courtyard to serve.
The two looked at each other, Ruyi was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the sky was about to dawn Chu Luan had already woken up and changed his clothes. She stepped forward, and before she could get closer, she saw that the other party's dress had been wet with the morning dew. The chill on her body gradually hit her. Only then did Ruyi realize that Chu Luan didn't wake up early, but he was afraid that he hadn't slept all night.
"Girl......"
Chu Luan waited for her for a long time, picked up the wooden box on the stone table, took out a golden hairpin from it and handed it to Ruyi. The outside of the wooden box was full of wet mist, but the contents were dry.
Ruyi couldn't decide what she meant, and didn't dare to take it over for a while, "Girl, this is ......"
Chu Luan smiled and stuffed the golden hairpin into Ruyi's hand, and ordered, "This golden hairpin was given to me by the jade slave for my birthday back then, if you give this to her, she will arrange everything for you." ”
Ruyi vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
"Girl, it's not good!" Daisy ran over in a panic, "Miss Luoyin, Miss Luoyin are gone!" ”
Ruyi has been by Chu Luan's side these days, and she also understands how important Luoyin is to Chu Luan. Now that the person is gone, her first instinct is to look for it, and as soon as she turns around, she realizes that something is wrong.
Hearing such news, Chu Luan didn't panic at all, and still sat there.
"Girl?"
Daisies and pasta look at each other.
"Daisy, today you will go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, I have already told my little brother, he will send someone to send you back to Jiangnan."
"Girl!"
"Girl! Oh no! Outside, there were a lot of officers and soldiers outside. Wei Gongzi led people to fight with them. "A housekeeper stumbled in.
Chu Luan looked at the sky, and the sun hadn't come out yet.
It's time.
Chu Luan put down the teapot in his arms and got up.
"Girl." Daisy and Ruyi followed.
Outside the door, Wei Changlin led a few people to desperately guard the gate of the county lord's mansion. There were already several corpses lying on the ground. Murong Xiu stood a few feet away from the door, revealing a vicious smile, "Chu Luan, you still fall into the hands of this king after all. ”
Wei Changlin turned around, and one of them suddenly stepped forward and stabbed him in the arm with a sword. Wei Changlin wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Chu Luan, "Stop." ”
"What are you doing?" Wei Changlin grabbed her arm and didn't allow anyone to take her away.
Chu Luan looked at the other party, "Let it go." ”
"What the hell do you want to watch you die?" Wei Changlin said that he didn't plan to let go, but instead held it tighter.
Chu Luan frowned, not knowing whether it was pain or anger from the other party's vulgar words.
"If you don't let go, you'll have to die with me."
Wei Changlin didn't care, "If you die, you will die, and after eighteen years, Lao Tzu will be a good man again!" ”
"You can't die."
Wei Changlin's eyes widened, he didn't expect Chu Luan to care so much about his life and death. Don't...... Is she interesting to me? But doesn't she like Wei Li? It seems that the rumors are not to be believed. Wei Changlin pretended to be serious and coughed twice, "Now is not the time to talk about this, wait for ......" Wait for us to leave here, and then speak slowly.
Unexpectedly, Chu Luan's words shattered all his illusions, "You are Wei Wei's younger brother, and you are his only remaining relative in this world." ”
Wei Changlin looked at her in shock, unable to believe it.
"You can't die." The clouds are light and the wind is light, and there is no way to refuse.
"So...... You transferred me back to you because you knew I was that man's brother! ”
Wei Changlin's hand was visibly relaxed.
Chu Luan tried to break free of him. Who knew that the other party increased his strength again, and said bluntly, "Lao Tzu doesn't care about your, Lao Tzu wants to save you, unless I die, no one can take you away!" ”
Wei Changlin and Wei Wei are worthy of being brothers. This was Chu Luan's last thought.
Just as the stalemate was at a standoff, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence on several sides.
Wei Li rode a horse, holding a token in his hand, and said in a loud voice, "This king is ordered by His Majesty to come and invite the county lord of Zhaoyue to enter the palace!" "Shocked.
Murong Xiu secretly scolded Wei Li for being nosy, and guessed how his father knew about it.
Chu Luan looked at Wei Li, his heart calmed down, he broke free of the restraints with all his might, and said to Wei Changlin, "This time, I volunteered. As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the Xuanyi boy.
Wei Li stretched out his hand to pull the other party onto the horse and protect him in front of him. "I said I would protect you."
Chu Luan also smiled and said, "King Yongning is full of words. ”
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know what they were up against, it was like a couple who were about to elope due to family reasons.
"Drive-" The two of them went to the palace together to face the judgment of fate.
One of Murong Xiu's subordinates asked, "Lord Wang, what should we do now?" ”
Murong Xiu glared at the county lord's mansion viciously, gritting his teeth, "Order, this king wants to enter the palace." "The Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan are going to be decided!
In the palace, Murong Chuyao was sitting with Chu Xu playing chess.
Murong Chuyao's chess style is fierce, and he kills every step, as if everything is under his control like chess. Chu Xu retreated step by step, not daring to confront the other party head-on.
Murong Chuyao looked at Chu Xu with interest, pointed to one of the chess pieces and asked, "Ah Xu, what's going on with you today?" Concealing his strength and deliberately retreating is to bully the king. ”
Chu Xu did not move like a mountain, and continued to land the chess pieces in remote places. He still said that high-sounding flattery, "Your Majesty is clever, and the minister is willing to bow to the wind, and he can't let His Majesty enjoy himself, and the minister is guilty." ”
Murong Chuyao didn't believe it or not, he continued to focus on the chess game, pointed to a chess piece in the center and said, "This son is the beginning of my suppression of you, it can be described as a very important one, but it is very similar to Jiangnan." "With Jiangnan, his treasury will be more abundant, and his national strength will surely become more and more prosperous, so who would dare to commit it?
But he forgot that as soon as Jiangnan's economic lifeline is broken, it will return to the previous situation where bandits are rampant and the people have no fixed place to live.
Chu Xu didn't refute either, and said in response, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Although he guessed that the person in front of him was not sincere, Murong Chuyao didn't care anymore, who didn't like to listen to beautiful words, and immediately Longxin was happy, "Ah Xu, it's been so many years." Whether it's the concubines in the harem or the important ministers in the court, only you know my thoughts best. As soon as Murong Chuyao was happy, he promised him, "Don't worry, as long as Chu Luan obediently hands over the key, she is still the county lord, and I can also make her a princess, so that she is more compatible with Xiyun." ”
Chu Xu was still silent and didn't say a word.
After a while, Zhaoqing came to report, "Your Majesty, King Yongning and Lord Zhaoyue are waiting outside the door. ”
"Let them in." Murong Chuyao said, "Ah Xu, you also stay and see what choice she will make, right?" With that, a chess piece was settled.
"Weichen/Chu Luan, see Your Majesty."
"Flat." Murong Chuyao beckoned the two of them to come forward, "You guys also come to see this game of chess between me and Chu Aiqing." He pointed to the chess piece that Fang had just shown Chu Xu, "This chess piece is the key to my suppression of Chu Aiqing, I feel that it is like the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan, and it is the key to my Yongguo's victory over other small countries, what do you think?" ”
They knew that the emperor was asking Chu Luan to hand over the key.
Chu Luan took out a golden slender key from his arms, and everyone's eyes changed. Zhaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but at the critical moment, Chu Luan retracted his hand again.
Zhaoqing looked at Murong Chuyao undecidedly.
The latter frowned slightly, as if displeased.
"Ah Luan!" Chu Xu winked at her.
Chu Luan pretended not to see it, and refused to hand over the things for a long time.
Murong Chuyao's patience was about to run out, "Zhaoyue, everything must focus on the overall situation. ”
How could Chu Luan not hear the threat in the other party's tone, but this thing belonged to Jiangnan and must not be handed over to anyone. Only now there is only a plan to delay the army, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." Naturally, the courtiers were willing to offer this thing to His Majesty. Only before that, the courtiers would like to ask you to grant me a request. ”
Oh, it turned out that I wanted to use this for personal gain. Everyone has selfish desires, and this key is indeed worth it. If he gave him something without asking for anything, Murong Chuyao would doubt the authenticity of the thing. So, he said generously, "Naturally, whatever you want, I will agree." ”
"Your Majesty, these days, the courtiers always dream of the courtier's mother, saying that she has been victimized and wants the courtiers to avenge her. But with only the courtiers, it is really impossible to find out the truth. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to find out the real culprit behind the scenes for the courtiers. After Chu Luan finished speaking, he carefully observed the expressions of Murong Chuyao and Chu Xu.
Chu Xu was still unmoved, but there was a faint layer of sadness in his eyes.
"Hasn't the matter of that year already been clarified? The real murderer Du Qiyuan has been beheaded all over the house. Why, can't we comfort your bereavement? Murong Chuyao looked at Chu Luan vigilantly, and there was nowhere to hide any tricks in front of him.
"The courtiers heard that it was Du Qiyuan who sent Li Yu to kidnap me and A-Niang, and she died tragically. Li Yu, who was the executioner, should have been killed a long time ago. ”
Murong Chuyao only ordered the nine clans of the Du family to be punished, but he didn't care about these small details at all.
Chu Xu remembered it very clearly, "Yes, I took it upon myself to avenge your aunt." He cut off Li Yu's head with his own hands to comfort the soul of his deceased wife.
But he never expected that Xuan Jun would actually use the disguise technique to let Li Yu escape from death. Li Yu is still alive, and the real murderer is still a huge mystery.
"Then what if, Li Yu didn't die?" Chu Luan said.
Murong Chuyao and Chu Xu's faces changed, not dead? How can it be?
"Who has such a great ability to save people from under the nose of Zhenbei Hou?" Murong Chuyao absolutely believed that Chu Xu would not leave Li Yu's life.
Zhenbei Hou was concerned, "How do you know that Li Yu is not dead, have you seen him?" ”
Now, some things are no longer easy to hide, Mr. Chang is the best at hiding in the shadows, and now he has joined forces with Alchi, she can't deal with it alone, so she confided in some news, "I have been kidnapped by Mr. Chang several times, and I have seen a man with an ugly appearance, and when he was not confused, everyone else called him Li Yu." I think that person can commit crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven several times without knowing it, and he should also be able to save Li Yu. ”
Chu Xu's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through whether she was lying, "I asked you this before, but you never wanted to say it. How can you be willing now? ”
Chu Luan's heart was like a drum, and his face was still silent, "Father doesn't even care about the cause of A-Niang's death, and he cares about my life or death?" ”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone only thought that Chu Luan was losing his temper and didn't take it to heart.
"Then why did Mr. Chang arrest you?" It was Murong Chuyao who asked.
It's not easy to lie about this matter, Chu Luan had to pick the truth and say: "He asked me to find a way to steal the talisman from my father and King Yongning." The first time, I pretended to agree, and the other party also kept his promise to let me go. But I didn't act, and he realized that he had been deceived, and he caught me again. "The second time Chu Luan was indeed tortured quite miserably, Wei Li also told him at the time, and Murong Chuyao didn't doubt it anymore.
"Moreover, the courtiers suspect that the murder of the two prime ministers this time should also be his handiwork."
"How?" Wei Li asked.
"You forgot ......" Chu Luan wanted to say that they had investigated Jin Rongfang together at the beginning, but temporarily remembered that it was Mu Xi who investigated with Wei Li, not himself. Temporarily changed his words, "Mu Xi told me that Mr. Chang has a strange fragrance in his hand called Soul Leaving Incense, which can charm the mind for a short time. He also said that I was captured by the other party so easily at that time, and it was probably because I was caught in the soul incense. ”
Saying this, Zhaoqing also remembered, "Your Majesty, when Dali Siqing decided that the county lord of Zhaoyue was the murderer of Prime Minister Gu Cheng, didn't it mean that there was a fake work that found that the same fragrance appeared in the place where Lord Qi was killed?" ”
Hearing Zhaoqing's words, Murong Chuyao also remembered, but Qi Ming and the two prime ministers died differently, and Qi Ming's death was very miserable, even Zhao Shangshu had nightmares for several nights when he saw it, and was laughed at by the officials of the DPRK and China for a long time.
Chu Luan didn't expect that today's show could not only temporarily divert the emperor's attention, but also accidentally clear his suspicion of killing Qi Ming, which was really unexpected. I'm afraid that except for Wei Li, no one else will know about this matter.
"Now it seems that this Mr. Chang is a big trouble, Your Majesty, Weichen asks for an order to strengthen the vigilance of the capital." Wei Lidao.
Chu Luan was a little surprised, with the other party's wit, how could he not see that she was fishing in troubled waters. This Wei Li really carried out his oath very thoroughly.
When Murong Chuyao heard such a threat, he immediately put other things behind him, and no one else reminded him.
Chu Luan would definitely not take the initiative to mention it; Wei Li has long been on her side, and she will not be looking for trouble; Zhaoqing felt that he was a eunuch, and there was no need to speculate that Junxin was causing trouble to His Majesty, not to mention that except for His Majesty, all of them were from the Chu family, if he said it now, wouldn't he make enemies and ask for hardships? Tut-tut, it has to be a person like him who can become a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and other minions, even if it is a mother, who has such a ability as him?
