At noon, Ning Yu was dressed in a plain robe, shaking a paper fan, and walked slowly and leisurely in the corridor, and entered the small study as usual. On the other side of the corridor, a group of people flashed, led by a man with a different appearance, with his hair scattered, a section of hair tied with mink fur behind him, and the upper part of his head wrapped in black brocade cloth from his hair, wearing a set of white linen clothes, with a thin and dark face and a sturdy posture, this is Kang Chao, who was ordered by Lu Ji to monitor Ning Yu, and he said to the entourage behind him: "I feel that something is wrong, Ning Yu always stays in the hut all afternoon, every day. Although Your Majesty said that scholars only read the books of sages, I smell a murderous aura, no, I have to go and see it!"

One of the entourages said: "General, there are only a dozen of us, in case Ning Yu really has any disobedient behavior, we can't do anything about it, just hit the stone with an egg, it is better to report to Your Majesty and then make plans!"

Kang Chao shook his head and said, "You also know that Your Majesty has always thought that there is nothing strange about this matter, and I don't care, even if I report it, Your Majesty will still not take any action." It's better if we take him by surprise and attack him unprepared, as long as we catch him off guard, more than a dozen of us will still make contributions!"

As soon as the others heard the word "meritorious service", they agreed with Kang Chao's action.

Kang Chao immediately instructed everyone: "Liuzi, you take seven or eight people to raid the hut from the back, and later, I will give an order and take the rest of the people to enter from the main gate, and you will immediately enter through the back window, understand?" Everyone nodded and divided into two teams, one team was led by Kang Chao's subordinate Liuzi, and quietly detoured from the corridor to the back of the hut, and the other team was still ambushed on both sides of the corridor, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Seeing that the sixth son had already walked around to the back of the hut, Kang Chao looked at everyone, drew his long sword, and said, "Rush in with me!" After speaking, he immediately led a group of people to rush into the hut.

Kang Chao kicked the door open and rushed into the hut first, only to find that it was dark in the hut, and he yelled bad and heard the sound of breaking the window, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the sixth son?"

"I'm the sixth son, general, why is it dark here?" said the sixth son's question in the darkness on the other side.

Kang Chao hurriedly shouted: "Sixth son, you go quickly, we may have fallen for the trick!" He realized at this time that he might have fallen for Ning Yu's plan, maybe Ning Yu had already discovered him, and regretted that he shouldn't have acted rashly, but no matter what, at this time, he still had to try to leave here before the danger came. At this moment, he took a few steps and ran towards the door.

It was too late, it was fast, only to hear a loud bang, Kang Chao and the others only felt that their feet were in the air, and without the support of the ground, they immediately fell into a deep and small space. Kang Chao only felt this fall, and his whole body was in great pain, but fortunately, he was strong and strong, but there was only a little skin trauma, and the entourage around him was lying on the ground*. He hurriedly leaned against the wall and stood up. Seeing that torches were lit above this deep and small space, Ning Yu's face poked out, full of pride.

"Reckless, I already noticed that you were spying on me, and today I finally got you into the urn!" Ning Yu laughed at him.

Kang Chao fixed his eyes and noticed a group of soldiers wearing Jin army uniforms standing around him, and hurriedly asked: "Ning Yu, you are also a Qing person, why did you help the Jin people and turn your back on the imperial court? You are destroying the Great Wall by yourself!"

Ning Yu waved his fan and said with a smile: "Do you think that in your Qing land, it is all your Qing people? To tell you the truth, my real name is Yuan Yu, the son of Jin Guowen and the first emperor, and the younger brother of the first emperor of Jianwu. It's a pity that the imperial brother didn't listen to me, and the enemy rushed forward, so he defeated Fan Yang and died before he could get out of the army. At this, his face was full of sadness.

After a pause, he continued: "The revenge of killing my brother is not shared with the sky! Now that I have earned you into the urn, no one will report to Lu Ji'er, I must kill the royal family of the Qing court at Lu Ji's birthday banquet, and use Lu Ji'er's head to comfort the emperor's brother in the sky!"

Kang Chao scolded angrily: "You villain, disguised as a scholar, but in fact, you have hidden evil intentions, you are a well-dressed beast, you can't die well!"

Ning Yu smiled at Kang Chao and said: "You can scold, anyway, no matter how much you scold, no one will hear it, your master will still die, and all this is because of your recklessness!"

Seeing that Kang Chao was so angry that he was speechless for a while, Ning Yu laughed a few times, and disappeared into the field of vision that could be seen in the space with the soldiers of the Jin army.

The night before the birth banquet, the imperial study in the Puchang Palace City was always brightly lit, Lu Ji flipped over the folds in front of the desk, and said a little strangely: "Why don't you see Kang Chao's excerpts about intelligence today?" Luo Chuan on the side listened to it, and hurriedly asked: "Do you want to call General Kang to ask?" Lu Ji thought for a while, suddenly stretched his waist, shook his head, and said with a smile: " That's it, I didn't have an excerpt, it should be nothing, I estimated that General Kang Chao was afraid that he didn't find anything, he drank a few glasses of wine, and he couldn't wake up for a while, so he didn't make an excerpt. Tomorrow is the feast, let him sleep well tonight, don't bother. ”

Luo Chuan nodded and said, "Then Your Majesty should also rest, tomorrow's birthday banquet will be worshiped by courtiers and envoys from various countries, it will be very tiring." ”

Lu Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Those are all face-saving things, nothing to be tired, it's not too late for me to go to sleep after reading these excerpts, you go and prepare a bowl of lotus seed soup for me, I'm also a little thirsty." ”

Luo Chuan went down with a "whoosh" and went straight to the imperial dining room to prepare lotus seed soup.

"Yo, Miss Luochuan, why did you come to our imperial dining room so late?" The old palace maid in the imperial dining room saw that it was Luo Chuan, and knew that she was the most intimate girl next to Lu Ji, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face and flatteringly.

Luo Chuan nodded at her and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to drink lotus seed soup, I'll make a bowl for him." ”

The old palace maid said with a smile: "How can you do this, little master, you can do it yourself, just leave it to the subordinates." ”

When Luo Chuan heard her call her like this, he was ashamed for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't call me that, what kind of master am I, I'm just a girl next to Your Majesty." ”

The old palace maid has been in the palace for decades, how do you not know the rules in this palace, the palace maids around the little emperor are all selected from the young ladies in the families of high-ranking officials and magnates, and they are all women who may become queens, and they are all busy and diligent. Luo Chuan couldn't stand her flattery, and looked away, only to see a faint candlelight in a remote hut in the corner. She couldn't help but wonder why the lights were still on in the middle of the night, and hurriedly asked the old palace maid, "Old mother, has the lights been on in the hut over there at this time before?"

The old palace maid glanced in the direction she pointed, shook her head, and said: "That's where the laborers of the imperial study live, because there is nothing to do, the lights used to be turned off early, and I don't know what happened these days, the lights have been on." ”

Luo Chuan suddenly became suspicious, she told the old palace maid to make lotus seed soup for her, and then she crept over along the wall.

At first, it was just a small muttering, coming and going, and when Luo Chuan reached the outer wall of the hut, he could already hear the sound in the house completely.

"Are we really going to do it at tomorrow's feast?" a gruff voice came over.

The other person replied: "No, over there in the warehouse, our Jin warriors are ready, as soon as we make a move, they will act immediately, open the back door, and let our people in!"

When Luo Chuan heard this, he was shocked and snorted coldly. She suddenly realized that something was wrong, and at that moment, there was a broken cry from inside the house, "Who?!" and the door was pushed open.

Since the back window of the hut was facing the imperial dining room, and the front door was facing a field of flowers and plants that no one could see, Luo Chuan understood that at this time she was on the side of the front door, and no one could hear her no matter how much she shouted. She squatted in the dark, the candlelight in the room could not be reached, and the big man who pushed the door looked around, but found nothing unusual.

"What are you suspicious of, a cat meow scares you like this?" followed by a big man, who laughed jokingly, "I'm afraid I haven't looked for a woman for a long time, and I'm so sensitive to barking?"

The big man who came out first scolded: "What do you know, the prince said, be careful in everything, all you think about is women one day!" After speaking, he closed the door with a bang.

Seeing that those big men had entered, Luo Chuan covered his chest, tried his best to calm his breath, and secretly congratulated himself that he was good at learning cat barking since he was a child, so he deceived these Jin people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking that this place should not stay for long, she ignored her trembling legs, and immediately paced back slowly along the wall.

Back in the imperial dining room, she didn't care about the lotus seed soup, and hurriedly went straight to the imperial study.

When Lu Ji saw her enter the imperial study, she was panting coquettishly, her cheeks were full of fragrant sweat, and her hair was a little messy, so she couldn't help frowning and asked, "I asked you to boil a bowl of lotus seed soup, how did you make it like this?"

Luo Chuan said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you quickly send someone to the hut of the imperial dining room, yes, there is also a warehouse, I overheard, it is the Jin people inside, they, they will kill you tomorrow!"

When Lu Ji heard this, he was shocked, he was sure that what Luo Chuan said was true, and immediately asked Wen Ping to lead the three thousand tiger army straight to the hut and warehouse. Seeing Luo Chuan covering his ankles for a while, squatting on one side, gently, and then looking at her sweaty face, Lu Ji spontaneously felt a kind of pity in his heart, as for whether this is a man's spontaneous feelings for a woman, he can't let him think about it, he hurriedly walked over, looked at her, frowned, and asked, "You, you won't be injured, right?"

"Well, I was walking fast just now and sprained my foot, it's fine. Luo Chuan's eyes were already full of tears because of the pain in his feet, and he replied with his head down.

Lu Ji said: "You see that your eyes are full of tears, and you almost flowed out, and said that it was okay?" After speaking, he reached out to take off her shoes. Luo Chuan immediately stretched out his hand and held it down, and snorted, "Your Majesty!" Lu Ji removed her hand and hurriedly said, "I spent some time in the army in my early years, and it was common to sprain my foot at that time. I know how to stop the pain, don't worry. With that, she took off her shoes and socks. Luo Chuan silently watched him take off his shoes and socks without saying a word.

The shoes and socks faded, and a jade foot was suddenly in Lu Ji's hand, he only felt a delicate hand for a while, and then looked at the small and exquisite, pink and jade-like feet, he was ashamed for a while, his face was hot, and he hurriedly avoided Luo Chuan's eyes, and said, "I better put on the socks for you and press them again." ”

Luo Chuan said "hey", but Lu Ji was reluctant to let go of her feet and put on shoes and socks for her. The two of them sat silently, and everything fell silent.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Luo Chuan couldn't stand the pain in his feet, and was the first to break the silence.

"You're so beautiful!" Lu Ji said with a stupid face, and hurriedly straightened up, coughed, and said, "Ah, I didn't think about anything, I put on shoes and socks for you." As he spoke, he held her feet with one hand and picked up the socks on the ground with the other.

"Cough-" At this time, Wen Ping's cough came from outside the door, Lu Ji was suddenly a little at a loss, so he was difficult to explain, so he could only turn his back, wave his hand, and not speak, he carried Luo Chuan to the side of the cubicle to rest for a while, and Wen Ping also stayed outside the door with interest.
