In Lu'er's bedroom, the flames of the two red candles lit on the table suddenly jumped inexplicably, and there was an inexplicable uneasy atmosphere in the room.

Tang Jiusheng looked around at Lu'er's bedroom, a small stepping bed, a half-person-high red rosewood dresser, a peach-colored wardrobe, a red round table, two rose chairs, and two white embroidered piers hidden under the dresser, which looked a bit like the boudoir of a large family. Tang Jiusheng pulled over a rose chair and sat down, looking at Lu'er with a gloomy face. Lu'er had a weak heart, and stepped forward to kneel in front of Tang Jiusheng, not daring to raise her head.

Tang Jiusheng sneered, "Lu'er, this king will ask you again, what were you doing just now?"

Lu'er replied tremblingly: "Back to the prince's words, just now the slave and maid were bored in the house, so they went out to breathe the air in the yard!"

Tang Jiusheng picked up a copy of "The Female Commandment" on the table, flipped through it casually, threw it back on the table, and said expressionlessly: "Lu'er, this king will give you one last chance, if you continue to lie, naturally someone will deal with you, whether you live or die is in your own hands, you watch it!"

Lu'er was silent, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her head, and she wanted to speak several times, but she stopped talking. Tang Jiusheng was obviously impatient, withdrew his gaze from Lu'er's face, raised his head to look out the window, and said word by word: "Ling Fox Feather, are your guards ready?"

A loud promise came from outside the window, "I am here, I am ready to listen to the prince's orders, please ask the prince's orders!"

Lu'er heard Linghu Yu's voice outside the window, her body trembled suddenly, she closed her eyes, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and said softly after a while: "Lord Wang, the slave is willing to recruit, the slave and maid were sent by Lord Niu to monitor Lord Shouye!"

Tang Jiusheng snorted in his nose and leaned forward, "I haven't finished speaking, what else?"

Only then did Lu'er babble again: "The slave maid was releasing carrier pigeons just now, and the secret letter was sent to Hou Jingxian outside the city, telling him that Captain Jiang was going to take two thousand men and horses to rob the camp tonight, and asked him to take precautions as soon as possible." Also, three days ago, I sent a secret letter to the envoy Yamen, telling them that Jianzhou had been lost, and the men and horses of the Weiwang Mansion had taken over the county guard Yamen. Lord Ye has been imprisoned, but he has not confessed to the rebellion. Lu'er didn't say anything about you guarding the yamen in the secret letter!"

Tang Jiusheng looked at Lu'er and said in a low voice: "Wen Luye, you didn't lie this time! Then can you tell me the reason why you didn't tell Niu Mandi that this king was guarding the yamen in Jianzhou County?"

Lu'er's face suddenly turned red, and she murmured in a low voice: "Slave, slave, slave and maid like the prince! I don't want Lord Niu to know that the prince is in Jianzhou, otherwise Lord Niu will definitely send heavy troops to attack Jianzhou, which will endanger the safety of the prince." ”

Tang Jiusheng instantly laughed, "Then why did you write to Hou Jingxian tonight to inform him that someone had robbed the camp?

Lu'er suddenly became angry, "It's not because the prince wants to give Lu'er to that dead fat man!"

Tang Jiusheng asked puzzledly: "Dead fat man?" Do you know that the fat man is the son of General Jiangling, he is now the captain of Jianzhou, he will be a general of Jianzhou in the future, and he will go one step further in the future, and he may become a second-rank or even a first-rank official?

Lu'er was ashamed and angry, and her face turned red, "Lord Wang, you, you actually sent someone to investigate the slave?"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "A piece of paper draws a nose, what a big face! Do you still need this king's relatives to send someone to investigate you? As long as someone is active around this king for a long time, Xiao Wei will naturally pay attention to his (her) every move." Good fellows, right under my nose, people have released all the carrier pigeons, and if the guards haven't noticed it, I think they should cut themselves!"

Lu'er was very unconvinced, raised her face and protested: "The slave's background is something I can't choose by myself, and the slave and maid also want to be a princess, but unfortunately I don't have that life!

Tang Jiusheng said helplessly: "That's because Xu Dongmei's sister and brother saved this king first, and they are the king's life-saving benefactor." Besides, although Xu Dongmei was born in a commoner, she was an upright person, and she was a native of Jiannan Dao, so this king could marry her and become Jiannan Dao

Uncle, isn't this meaning obvious enough? Could it be that the people of Jiannan will still oppose this king because of this? Besides, marriage is such a thing, it is very wonderful, how can you understand it!"

Lu'er listened to Tang Jiusheng's words, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, but she still shook her head and said: "Lord Wang, the slave maid still doesn't give up, the slave and maid admire the prince, and she thinks that she is very beautiful, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if she can't be a princess, it's not too much to be a concubine for the princess, right?

As he spoke, Lu'er swept his delicate face and neck with shallot-like fingers, and said with an intoxicated expression: "If I were a man, I would fall in love with myself like this!"

Tang Jiusheng cut a snort and said disdainfully: "Wen Luye, this joke is not funny at all! You are a double spy of Dongwei and the Jingluo Yamen, but you pretend to have no martial arts at all, especially at this critical moment, you also passed the news of this king to the Jingluo Yamen, do you think that this king will rest assured to keep you by his side? The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous, this king can understand this truth!" Besides, Jiang Zhenyu is just not handsome enough, and he is also the dragon and phoenix among people, what qualifications do you have to look down on my brother?"

Lu'er said loudly: "Lord Wang, since you know Lu'er's identity, haven't you thought about it for Lu'er? Lu'er doesn't want to be a spy for Dongwei and Jinglu'er, but what can Lu'er do? My demented brother is supported by Dongwei, and my mother is making the Yamen a hostage, do I have a choice? What is the little general of Jianzhou? The man I admire is the prince who stands above ten thousand people under one person, and stands up to the heavens and the earth!"

Tang Jiusheng stopped talking to Lu'er, got up from the rose chair, and said in a deep voice to the window: "Linghu Yu, Lu'er will be handed over to Xiaowei." Ling Hu Yu said yes outside the window, and Tang Jiusheng got up and walked out the door.

Lu'er pounced up, hugged Tang Jiusheng's thigh, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, please don't hand Lu'er over to Xiaowei, Lu'er is still young, and she still has a demented brother and old mother to support, and Lu'er doesn't want to die yet!" Lu'er hugged Tang Jiusheng's thigh and said nothing.

Tang Jiusheng lowered his head and laughed softly: "Wen Luye, whether you can survive or not depends on yourself, but you can't stay with this king at the moment, I have already handed you over to Xiaowei, so it's useless for you to beg me!"

When Lu'er heard Tang Jiusheng say this, her body went weak and she collapsed on the ground. Ling Hu Yu pushed the door in and saluted Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng raised his legs and walked out of the door, looked back at Lu'er intentionally or unintentionally, sighed, strode away, and quickly disappeared into the night. Lu'er sat down on the ground dejectedly, gritted her teeth after a while, and spit out a sentence from between her teeth: "I'm not reconciled!"

Ling Huyu, who had a fist-sized cyan birthmark on his left face, lifted Lu'er from the ground like a chicken, and said with a cruel smile: "Miss Wen, please!" Ling Huyu escorted Lu'er out of her bedroom and went straight to the east courtyard. With Tang Jiusheng, Ling Huyu and Lu'er leaving, the courtyard quickly returned to quiet.

Suddenly, a figure crept out of the shadow in the corner, opened the door of another maid's bedroom next door, and walked in. There was no lamp in the room, and a woman's voice whispered: "Lu'er has been exposed, for the sake of safety, you can find a way to kill her!" The man who entered the room agreed, and then went out of the room, jumped on the ridge of the roof, and shook three times and two times, and disappeared.

At midnight, a crescent moon shone in the sky, on the official road in the east of Jianzhou City, a team of thousands of people was galloping along the official road, running to the camp of Hou Jingxian, the captain of Luye, the head of this team was a red horse, and the red horse sat on the township guide wearing a suit of armor, and behind the township guide was a white horse, and the white horse was a young fat man without armor, it was Jiang Zhenyu. The fat man Jiang carried two sledgehammers, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Jiang Fatzi was born in a family of military generals, his grandfather Jiang Taiping once served as the protector of Longting, and later served as the general of the auxiliary state, his father Jiang Yongchun was the former commander of the imperial guards, and the current Jiangling general, the fat man is a typical militant, and he is excited when he hears the war. The fat man asked the township guide softly: "Captain Zheng, how long will it take for us to get to that big village?" It turned out that the township guide was Captain Zheng Zheng of Jianzhou County.

In the night, he solemnly whispered: "Captain Jiang, it's almost here, it is estimated that there are still seven or eight miles to go!"

The fat man smiled: "It's really good, the fat man's sledgehammer has long been hungry and thirsty! When I get to the place in a while, I will definitely catch the monkey and put it in a cage."

Let them blow that monkey again!" As the two were talking, they saw someone coming from afar like a swift wind, and the man came to the fat man's horse, and the fat man waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and the man whispered a few words, and then turned and swept away.

At the end of the ugly time, the fat man's 2,000 men and horses finally arrived not far from the camp of Hou Jingxian, the captain of Luye, under the solemn leadership. I saw that the lights were flashing in the camp, and several sentries at the gate of the camp were also dozing, and their helmets were crooked, staggering. The fat man waved his hand, and some soldiers stepped forward to move away from the horses and other things, and killed several sentry posts at the door with knives in their hands.

solemnly brought 500 men and horses into Dazhai and prepared to meet them outside.

The fat man and the others had just rushed into Dazhai, not walking two hundred steps away, when they suddenly heard a horn cannon sound, and the lanterns and torches were bright in all directions, shining like day, and the army embraced Hou Jingxian, the captain of Luye, only to see Hou Jingxian riding a yellow horse, wearing a golden armor, holding a golden spear in his hand, and laughing loudly: "Jiang Zhenyu, don't surrender quickly, you have fallen into the general's plan!"

Suddenly, the ambush soldiers were scattered, and the arrows were fired in unison, and the fat man was shocked and said: "It's bad! It's a trick! Quickly, the shield is ready!" Fortunately, the fat man brought these soldiers with a single knife in his left hand and a single knife in his right hand, and in his eagerness, the soldiers surrounded a shield array, but there were not many casualties.

The arrows on the opposite side rained down, Jiang Fatzi frantically swiped the sledgehammer, protecting his people and protecting his horses, and the bow and crossbow on the opposite side shot for a long time, and another drum sounded, and the arrow rain stopped. Thousands of military horses came up in all directions, the drums rumbled, and the shouts of killing shook the ground. The fat man looked anxiously, "Brothers, I've been tricked, retreat for me! Withdraw in the direction of Jianzhou!"

Jiang Fatzi took the lead in killing a bloody road, all the soldiers saw the ambush, and suddenly had no intention of fighting, retreating while fighting, and took the road away, fortunately, there was a solemn leader outside the camp to respond, the fat man with two thousand military horses, retreated in embarrassment, and the pursuers of Luye City in the back bit tightly, and the fat man had no choice but to kill back, let Zheng lead the front team, and he personally broke the back.

The fat man was killing in and out of the chaotic army, Hou Jingxian also led his own soldiers to kill him, seeing the fat man killing in all directions, Hou Jingxian was furious and shouted, "Jiang Zhenyu, you are already a turtle in Wengzhong, why don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly?"

The fat man laughed wildly: "My monkey grandson, you don't talk big first, I can catch your fat grandfather!" As soon as the fat man's voice fell, another trumpet sounded, and a Biao army blocked the way, but it was Hou Jingxian's subordinate, Zhenwei Captain He Changhu, He Changhu urged him to step forward and pick up the big knife to attack Zheng Zheng.

It turned out that the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Luye City abandoned Dazhai and had poured out of the nest, surrounded the fat man's 2,000 men and horses, and fought with ease and labor.

In the evening, Hou Jingxian got the flying pigeon from Lu'er, and immediately got ready, and sent He Changhu to take a thousand soldiers and horses to ambush on the side of the road, let the fat man pass, and then block his way when he escaped back.

The two sides fought to the death, shouting and killing. The Jianzhou soldiers and horses led by the fat man have been walking for half the night, but the opposite side is waiting for work, and the Jianzhou soldiers are gradually running out, and the situation is critical. The fat man wielded a sledgehammer and shouted loudly in the army: "Brothers, I will hold on to the fat master! As long as we hold on, we will have silver and girls!"

At this moment, a series of horns rang out, and a horse team came out from behind the butt of Hou Jingxian's team, and the leading general was Shui Rulong. Hou Jingxian thought that Jiang Zhenyu could be easily captured alive, but he didn't expect that the enemy would also lay down a troop of soldiers and horses, and the two sides started a tug-of-war on the wilderness next to the official road, killing and injuring each other. The water is like a dragon waiting for work, and Hou Jingxian's team is scattered.

How do you know that this Captain Hou has a set of troops, although he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he still fought to the death and did not retreat, gradually shrinking his troops, although he was defeated, he was not chaotic, and he resisted the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou to the death. Both sides were red-eyed, and at this moment, a series of artillery rang out, and another Jianzhou army came out from behind, instantly crushing the soldiers and horses of Hou Jingxian's Zhenwei Captain He Changhu.

He Changhu was caught off guard, panicked, the knife technique was messed up, solemnly saw that He Changhu was panicked, calmly rushed up, abandoned the saber, grabbed the handle of He Changhu's big knife with both hands, grabbed the big knife and threw it on the ground, and actually captured He Changhu from the horse.

The torches were bright in all directions, and the Jianzhou soldiers who were the last to emerge shouted loudly: "Hou Jingxian surrender quickly, and King Wei Chitose has arrived!"

When Hou Jingxian heard that King Wei had arrived, he immediately panicked and was in turmoil.
