The first court meeting after Taiwei Lu Juan entered Beijing did not make any splash.

The little nostalgia of everyone to see this first favorite minister again was completely stolen from the limelight by another thing.

Liu Ji reclined on the couch, a little lazy,

"You have all met Lu Juan, and you will work together with the DPRK in the future, and you will discuss everything.

I thought that I would let him go to see the queen alone, but the queen couldn't wait to see him, so she came together. ”

The ministers understood it, and it was obvious that the emperor did not shy away from his affection for Lu Juan.

Liu Ji said, and bowed slightly to Lu Pheasant on the side, Lu Pheasant smiled at Lu Juan gently, but there was a little nervous expectation in his eyes.

If everything goes according to plan, then it's today.

"Minister, Han Xin, there is something important to report."

Han Xin took a step forward, fell to the ground, and made a big salute.

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Last night, the minister found out the whereabouts of Chu Shun Zhong Lixuan, and asked His Majesty to arrest him quickly."

His volume was not high, but it was already shocking.

Lu Pheasant looked at him with surprise, doubt, or slight disdain from everyone, only to see that he pursed his lips tightly, and his face was so white that there was no blood.

Han Xin lowered his head and continued in a slightly trembling voice,

"Last night, there was a feather arrow with a silk book shot into the minister's mansion, and when the minister was curious to open it, it turned out to be Zhong Liwei's handwriting.

He begged his ministers to take refuge in the affection of his old friend, and asked him to meet him outside the city this evening. ”

"Zhong Lixuan...... How did you get in Luoyang? Are you sure the letter came from him? ”

Liu Ji's tone was flat, and at first glance, he was calm as usual, only his hands clenched into fists exposed the shock in his heart.

"Yes, Chen and Zhong Liwei have known each other since childhood, and they are very familiar with his handwriting, and there will be no mistakes.

In the letter, he said that for most of the past six months, he had been in hiding everywhere, and had recently fled to the vicinity of Luoyang. ”

"It seems that Zhong Liwei finally couldn't stand up to my search and arrest, or did he show up?"

Liu Ji was a little excited, and his voice was slightly raised,

"Where is that letter now?"

Han Xin bowed forward and handed the silk that had been pierced by the arrow to the yellow door with both hands.

Lu Pheasant's gaze crossed Han Xin's figure and slowly intersected with Zhang Liang;

The latter nodded slightly in her direction.

***

Staring at the messy silk book in Liu Ji's hand, Zhang Liang's thoughts flew back to the day before yesterday.

That day, when they arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang in a dilapidated caravan, it was close to dusk.

Lu Shizhi, who was driving, coughed violently, pulled the coat on his body, tied the ox that pulled the cart, and took him and Han Xin out of the car.

Braving the drizzle, Lu Shizhi led them to turn around, step on the muddy path with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked into a secluded village.

At the beginning of the war, the population was scarce, and most of the villagers who had fled for refuge had not yet returned.

There are only a few families living in the whole village, separated from each other, and the sound of chickens and dogs is not heard, only the sound of rain can be heard in the ears.

Although there was no one in Qianmo, Lu Shizhi still looked left and right cautiously for a while before quickly pushing open the door of a hidden fence courtyard.

The fence door creaked open.

It's a two-hall farmhouse that can be seen everywhere, and on the surface it doesn't seem unusual.

Zhang Liang was about to look in, but a half-sized alert black dog rushed out of the courtyard, opening his mouth to bark.

"Prisoner cow, don't bark, it's me, it's me."

Lu Shizhi hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the neck of the little black dog, the dog instantly quieted down, and its fluffy tail shook into a flower, circling around Lu Shizhi.

When Zhang Liang saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly,

"How many times have you been here, even the dogs know you so well.

Also, a dog, why do you call the name of Jiaolong Jiuzi? ”

Zhang Liang relaxed, and also smiled and patted the little black dog's head.

Han Xin only stood silently aside, looking inside and outside the courtyard with a little surprise.

Prisoner Ox, is the eldest son of the nine sons of the legendary dragon, although it does not look like a dragon, but it is very divine, docile and intelligent, especially fond of music.

The name is used for dog names, and it seems somewhat abrupt and funny.

"How many times have you been here? I really don't remember.

Since I received the news of Ejiao, oh, that is, the queen, I immediately set off to Donghai County and secretly visited everywhere, for fear of leaking the news, and after a lot of hard work, I can be regarded as finding Zhong Lixian.

I discussed with the queen, so I disguised myself all the way and took him to Luoyang non-stop, and lived here incognito.

As for the cows, ahem-"

In another violent cough, Lu Shizhi covered the fence door, and led the two to the hall while chattering,

It is said that when he picked it up, he was a palm-sized puppy, and he fled to Donghai County hungry and full.

Zhongli said that this puppy has no home, and he, as a general of the defeated army, is also like a lost dog, hurting each other, keeping it by his side, and bringing it all the way to Luoyang. ”

"Is it also the queen's idea to settle Zhong Liyuan here?"

Han Xin, who had been listening intently to their conversation, suddenly asked.

"Actually, it was my idea.

The art of war says that the most dangerous place is the safest place when it is dark under the lamp.

I thought about it, it has been more than half a year since Zhong Liwei was arrested like a nationwide search of mountains and seas, and the emperor estimated that he would never have imagined that Zhong Lihui would dare to hide under his nose. ”

"Brother Lu's plan is to hide from the sky and the sea, and the master of the art is bold, very wonderful, very wonderful."

This is a ploy that requires wisdom and courage, Han Xin raised his eyes, looked at the handsome scholar with a sickly face in front of him again, and said nothing more.

***

Hearing the barking of dogs, there was already a tall and strong man in a linen short coat and powerful in the inner room to greet the door, and when he saw Lu Shizhi as the leader, he grinned and said,

"Old Lu, why did you visit at this hour today.

It had been raining for several days, and people were getting moldy, so we warmed the wine and came into the house to drink some together. ”

So saying, he turned sideways, trying to welcome him in.

Before the words fell, he saw two blurry figures, and he followed Lu Shizhi and was about to step into the house.

In the evening, the light was dim and unclear, and the faces of the visitors could not be seen for a while, and the strong man only quickly took a few steps back, his eyes were wide open, his muscles tensed for a moment, and his whole body was full of vigilance, like an alert tiger.

"It's okay, Zhongli, you look carefully, it's all your own people."

Lu Shizhi took off his coat with a big smile, shook off the rain on it, gently put it under the eaves, and introduced in his mouth,

"This is Zhang Liang, Mr. Zhang Zifang, this is-"

Before he finished speaking, the strong man's face was full of disbelief, and he took a step, ignoring the wet clothes on Han Xin's body, and grabbed his shoulders tightly,

"This, this is my unforgettable savior."

Until this time, most of Han Xin's doubts along the way had finally disappeared, and he was also a little excited, slammed a punch on Zhong Li's shoulder, and said incoherently,

"Zhongli! You've survived with all your beards and tails!

It's good if you're alive, it's good to be alive! ”

After a long absence, Han Xin finally met his best friend in this life, and the enemy he saved from the battlefield in the face of the world's disapproval, Zhong Lixian.
