In the eighteenth year of Yongguo, the emperor was assassinated at the spring banquet, and the Zhenbei general Chu Xu bravely escorted him and promoted him to Zhenbei Hou; Empress Shen Yue lost her beloved son five years ago, and the emperor took pity on her beloved son and succeeded the twelve princes born to a beautiful woman in the palace under her name; After the death of Murong Xiu, within five years, the princes fought openly and secretly for the position of the prince, among which Murong Yu was diligent in government, sympathetic to the people, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.

Los Angeles –

In the teahouse, a group of men in coarse cloth clothes sat around a pile, looking like a long-term worker resting, discussing some secrets that happened in Los Angeles.

"Have you heard? The prefect was killed last night. ”

"What? Yuefu is one of the largest households in Los Angeles, and it has arranged so many masters of the rivers and lakes to take care of the home, and can still kill people in other people's homes without making a sound? ”

"Well, who's to say it's not?" The man who spread the news lowered his body and said in a low voice, "I heard from the little guy in Yue's mansion that when Master Yue was found this morning, he was in such a miserable state, tsk, there was almost no good meat on his body, and he lost a finger!"

"Ah, I'm afraid it's not a soul asking for your life."

"I think it's supposed to be! The Yue family has been doing some ...... in Los Angeles all these years."

At a table near the door, there was only one woman. The woman was slender, dressed in a power suit, with a hat on her head, a teacup in one hand, and a gentle tapping on the table with the other.

She came to the teahouse for a few days, and each time she sat in the same seat, for two hours a day, and never shared a table. Some people also wanted to come to talk, but they were all persuaded to quit when they saw the iron whip next to her.

When the two hours were just over, the woman took out the silver and put it on the table, picked up the iron whip beside her, and left.

When the other people in the teahouse saw her leave, they slowly drew the conversation to her.

As soon as the woman left the teahouse, a carriage was waiting at the door.

When Wei Changlin saw her come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you willing to leave today?" Is it done? ”

The woman didn't say a word about his question and got into the car by herself.

Wei Changlin had no choice but to drive away.

The carriage drove to the top of a hill and circled the whole mountain several times before stopping at the mouth of a cave.

The entrance to this cave is about two people wide and seven or eight feet high.

The carriage could not enter, and the woman had to get down.

She looked at the endless darkness that stretched out of the cave entrance, snorted coldly, and strode in.

After entering the cave for hundreds of steps, I found that there was a cave inside, and the dark guards dressed in black stood in two rows, and there was a patrol team among them, which looked like a mansion in the mountains. These are the caretakers of the nursing home.

When everyone saw the woman, they all folded their fists and bent down to salute, "Miss!"

The woman did not stop and continued to go inside.

To the center of the mountain, a stone gate cut her off.

A strong man with a scar on his face next to him saw her, and he was also respectful, "Miss!"

The stone door happened to open, and Li Yu walked out, with a terrible thin face, and when he saw the woman, he smiled sadly, even more terrifying, "Miss, the lord invites you to go in." ”

The woman ignored him and walked in.

Inside the door, an old man sat on a high place, and because of the dim light, it was difficult to see his face clearly, but the woman had obviously engraved his appearance in mind.

Raise your hand to take off the hat and throw it on the ground, fold your arms and salute, and say, "Father-in-law." ”

Mr. Chang seemed to be really happy to see her, and seemed to be just pleased by the other party's words and deeds, with a little smile in his voice, "Get up." ”

"Luan, you did a good job this time."

Mr. Chang was referring to Chu Luan's assassination of Luocheng Yueren this time.

Chu Luan also laughed and joked, "In order to better complete the task sent by my father-in-law this time, I had to stay in Los Angeles for a few more days, and I thought my father-in-law would be angry." ”

"Huh." Mr. Chang waved his hand, "Los Angeles is a good place, you are still young, it doesn't hurt to be greedy." ”

If you look at it from an outsider's point of view, you really think that these two people are the relationship between a loving father and a caring daughter.

Mr. Chang quickly made a difficult look again, "Originally, when you came back this time, I should have asked you to repair it well." It's just that the situation is urgent, and you may have to run again. ”

Chu Luan didn't reply either, waiting for the other party's next words.

"The emperor is about to choose the crown princess for Yu'er, do you know?"

As soon as he heard that it was about Murong Yu, Chu Luan could guess it somewhat. It was also in the past two years, and after gradually gaining Mr. Chang's trust, she learned that Murong Yu was not the son of Xu Guifei, nor was she born to Murong Chuyao's other beauties. He was the child of Xu Jiaorong's sister-in-law and Murong Chuyao's cousin Murong Chi, and was later adopted by Xu Jiaorong, and gave birth through another beauty in the palace, and Li Daitao was raised by his side. Therefore, Murong Yu is Murong Hao, the grandson of the current Mr. Chang.

She still pretended not to understand, "I don't know what my father-in-law wants me to do?" ”

Mr. Chang didn't beat around the bush anymore, and directly said his plan, "I want you to participate in the selection of concubines and come out on top." ”

Chu Luan never imagined that Mr. Chang would let her be Murong Yu's crown princess. Not to mention the relationship between her and Murong Yu, Mr. Chang never trusted her so much on the surface.

She asked from the bottom of her heart, "Isn't my father-in-law afraid that I will take this opportunity to tell the emperor everything?" ”

Mr. Chang burst out laughing, not believing that she would do this, "Ah Luan, you know my methods. He whispered like a demon from hell, "You don't want to see Wei Wei's only relative in this world die in front of you, do you?" ”

He was using Wei Changlin as a bargaining chip.

"I know, don't worry, father-in-law, I will not disappoint you this time."

Mr. Chang was very satisfied, "By the way, I also arranged a new identity for you this time." Only...... How is Yue Changqing, the daughter of the prefect of Los Angeles? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Yue family......

It seems that this old thief had a plan, otherwise she would not have asked her to assassinate Lord Yue for nothing.

On the second day, Chu Luan rushed to the capital with people Haohao soup.

During the day, she always wears a human skin/mask on her face, appearing in the form of "Mu Xi". She has already checked, Yue Changqing always stays in the mansion on weekdays, and not many people have seen it, and people in the capital may not have heard of this person. She didn't have to bother to make a human skin/mask in a hurry.

Wei Changlin did not go with her this time, and it seems that Mr. Chang is still suspicious of her.

It took half a month for the group to finally walk to the post station outside the capital, stay temporarily overnight, and then set off on the second day.

Seeing that he was about to return to the capital again, Chu Luan couldn't sleep this night.

All kinds of past events come to mind like a horse's eye.

Over the years, she has heard about the big and small matters that happened in the capital, and after Murong Xiu's death, King Chen sent people to track down his whereabouts every day, and he has never stopped for five years. On the contrary, it was Murong Chuyao who didn't care about this matter after looking for three years, probably thinking that he was dead.

Five years, I don't know how high Luoyin is? How happened to Zhixia and Qin Kite?

I heard that Qin Yuan married Murong Jin as a side concubine, Gu Yan and He Ying finally achieved positive results, Mo Han also married Shen Yingxue as he wished, and even Lin Bozhou married. Wei Li......

I don't know how he is doing, has he ever met a lover who treats him sincerely?

No matter what the result was, Chu Luan couldn't be happy.

"I hope that when I return to Beijing this time, I won't run into him." Chu Luan prayed secretly. First, Wei Li had seen her face and knew Mu Xi's existence; Second, she didn't want to have any more entanglements with him.

The hour was not early, Chu Luan turned over and was just about to fall asleep, when he heard a noise downstairs.

The maid came and knocked on the door, "Miss, something has happened." ”

Chu Luan kicked the quilt away and looked out of the door, thinking that he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Liso dressed and put on a human skin/mask, opened the door and reprimanded, "What major matters do I need to deal with personally?" ”

The maid's name is Ziluo, and she was specially arranged by Mr. Chang, she knows martial arts, and she doesn't talk much, and most of the people around Chu Luan are monitored.

She was scolded by Chu Luan, and she didn't talk back, she lowered her head and staggered away, telling Chu Luan to see the situation clearly.

I saw a dark-skinned man downstairs arguing with his entourage.

"Do you know the identity of my master? But it's so rude to ask you to let a few rooms out!"

The poor man's skin was black like that, and he could vaguely see the crimson on his face and neck, and he seemed to be angry.

Chu Luan felt funny, but also felt that this person was very familiar.

She leaned closer to the mast to take a closer look.

This man...... It seems to be ...... Stone three!

Chu Luan was frightened by his discovery and took two steps back.

Why is Shi San here? Since he is here, is Wei Li also ......

She turned around and was about to run.

but hit a stiff chest head-on.

Chu Luan screamed in pain.

"Is the girl alright?"

The other party's deep voice made her unable to raise her head.

Wei Li!

She slowly raised her eyes, and sure enough!

Wei Li was wearing a scarlet robe, and his face had not changed much, but he was more handsome and a little more mature because of the precipitation of time.

The old people are reunited, but she no longer dares to recognize each other.

"Girl, I also rushed here overnight, tired of traveling, I wanted to rest and return to Beijing tomorrow, I didn't want the whole post station to be covered by the girl, and I hope the girl will carry her love, let a few rooms come out?" When Wei Li spoke, his eyes were always on Chu Luan, but he did not show any abnormality.

Didn't he find out?

That's right, after all, so much time has passed, why should he remember an unimportant person?

Chu Luan immediately put his heart in his stomach, but he still left two points of vigilance, and handed a look to Zi Luo beside him.

The other party will understand and go to arrange.

Soon, he came back and said, "This son, we have just packed up three rooms, and I'm afraid more is not enough." I hope the son will forgive me. ”

"Thank you." , Wei Li lightly took his eyes off Chu Luan and followed Ziluo.

Seeing that the two of them gradually disappeared around the corner, Chu Luan breathed a sigh of relief.

Bumping into Wei Li as soon as he came back was not a good sign.
