After hearing this, Yuan Wei buried his head, thought for a while, and said to him: "Then there is Mr. Lao, but now that the remnants of the Chu State are still breathing, I am afraid that they will not be able to make any big waves." ”

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "General Yuan, don't underestimate this Han Luyao." ”

"Han Luyao ......" Yuan Wei muttered, "I really don't know much about this person, I only know that she is a woman of the royal family of Chu State, and she is considered to be the most powerful in the rivers and lakes, but how can she deal with the tens of thousands of horses and horses of the western army of my town alone?"

"The general doesn't know anything. Chen Changsheng said, "When Han Luyao was attacking Qi by the Chu army, he learned the art of war by Li Qiuhan's side, and he was extremely talented. Besides, with her strength, it is not impossible to sneak here to assassinate the emperor. It's not as good as Chang'an, there are so many guests guarding it. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wei had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, everything is up to Mr." ”

State of Qin.

Teochew.

Inside the inn.

Lu Chuan stood in the quiet room and looked around for a week. Chu Liusheng memorized the answers to the test questions for several nights in a row, and he was already exhausted, and fell asleep on the bed, unable to wake up no one.

Lu Chuan looked down at Chu Liusheng's sleeping side face, after he was erased from his memory, he didn't have the sorrow in Lu Chuan's heart at all, except for wanting to explore his own life experience, he had no other thoughts, and he lived a carefree life.

Lu Chuan looked at it with a solemn expression for a while, sighed heavily, and withdrew from the door lightly, closing the door without making a single movement.

Standing in the corridor, the sky was already bright, and the scorching morning sun shone in, as if it was not as dark as Chang'an a few days ago.

Lu Chuan walked out without saying a word, and the coarse cloth shoes made a dull footstep on the floor.

After a while, he came to the room at the end of the hallway and pushed the door open.

The room was spacious and bright, and the gauze hanging from the window frames swayed gently in the breeze. The furnishings in the room were simple and clean, and a delicate unknown flower was budding in a vase on the table.

He glanced into the room, Han Luyao and Shen Mengxi were sitting on the edge of the wide bed, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and said in unison: "Master Guoshi." ”

Lu Chuan hurriedly closed the door behind him and said in a low voice: "How many times have I said that I don't have a long memory, I'm afraid that others won't recognize me, just call me old man next time." ”

Shen Mengxi lowered his head, his face was crying, his voice was like a mosquito, and he said, "My lord......"

Lu Chuan looked at her like this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Mengxi ran to him in broken steps, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "My lord, since the princess knew that I went to see you without her, she has ignored me for several days. ”

Han Luyao, who was as cold as ice on the side, wore a simple Qin-style long skirt, and his white shoulders were exposed, which was very good-looking. She just said two words lightly to the two: "No." ”

"Harm. Lu Chuan waved his hand, paced to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said, "Lu Yao has too many tasks to take on, if you two want to be with us two defenseless old and weak for a long time, it will be easy to be exposed, this is also my idea." Besides, Chu Liusheng's mind is still in a mess now, and he met in Qi Country last time, and he almost worried about his life. ”

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, Han Luyao didn't say a word, his face softened slightly, but his expression was as indifferent as ever.

Lu Chuan sighed and said, "Alas, don't talk about this, there are many things to do now, time is running out, and there is no time to delay." Recently, I have received some news that the death of the monarch of the Qi State has caused a lot of chaos in the imperial court, and I am afraid that it will cause a coup d'état. Have you heard?"

The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I also got the news in the morning, Yuan Wei, the general of the Western Army in Qi Guozhen and the son of the former prime minister, was in charge of escorting the convoy of King Qi back to the palace, and announced the edict in Chang'an City, which was last night. Lu Chuan said in a deep voice, "The King of Qi has already died in the summer resort, and the new emperor is not the crown prince, but an illegitimate son of him who has not yet reached the age of the crown,"

"What?" Shen Mengxi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "Why?"

Lu Chuan shook his head and said: "I estimate that first, Qi An himself has a bad character, which is not enough to convince the people, although he is the crown prince, he is not the prince of Qi, and the emperor passed the throne to his royal brother after the death of Chang'an." Second, the king of Qi has long been taboo about the partisan disputes in the court, and he wants to rectify it but has more than enough power. He wanted to pass the throne to someone who had nothing to do with partisanship. ”

"But ......," Shen Mengxi pondered, "how can such an illegitimate child take on such a big responsibility?"

"Yes, the partisan struggle in the Qi court will not stop here, but will take this opportunity to reach its peak. Lu Chuan lowered his voice and said, "Yuan Wei's father is the old party, and the current person in charge of the Qi State court is Fan Changlong, the secretary of the military department, who is the new party, and he is also the person in charge of the artifact. If there is a real coup d'état, it will be a rare opportunity for us. We've got to burn this fire even harder. ”

After hearing this, Han Luyao frowned lightly and asked, "What is the national teacher going to do?"

Lu Chuan pondered for a while and said: "Recently, the selection of the Qin State is imminent, I can't get out, the two of you take care of each other, return to the Qi State, find a way to contact Fan Changlong, the secretary of the military department, and join the coup d'état, he is the person who can get in touch with the demon refining pot the most." ”

When Shen Mengxi heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "My lord, didn't you say that you would use the disguise grass to let me accompany the prince." ”

Lu Chuan raised his head, looked at her dissatisfied expression, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Alas, I can't help it, this selection is a vital part of my plan, there must be no mistakes, after the mission of Qi Guo is over, I will ...... again."

Shen Mengxi didn't wait for him to finish, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and he twisted his body coquettishly, pulling his arm and not letting go. Han Luyao on the side had a cold face and said, "Mengxi, listen to the national teacher." ”

Hearing Han Luyao's words, she reluctantly let go of her hand, and walked to the side angrily and began to pack up her things. After Han Luyao waited for her to go away, he lowered his voice and said to Lu Chuan, "My lord...... The crown prince ...... How's it going?"

Lu Chuan patted his head and exclaimed: "Oh, don't you say that I almost forgot, today is the day of his letter, last time he fled to South Korea to avoid Yan Impermanence's pursuit, I don't know what happened now." ”

"I'm tired of the national teacher. Han Luyao raised his eyes and said, "If there is any news, please be sure to inform me." ”

Recently.

Korea.

Southern State.

Ouyang Mansion.

On this day, the guests in Ouyang Mansion were full of friends, and it was very lively.

Chu Mo walked through the end of the winding corridor, avoiding the sight of the people around him, looking for a secluded place like a headless fly.

He felt a pair of sharp eyes hitting his back at all times, and he didn't expect that the mysterious woman from Skynet would follow so quickly and chase after Ouyang Mansion.

It's just that he didn't know that Ouyang Mu's purpose for coming here was not all for him, she also received a letter and came to the mansion for a gathering. Although Ouyang Mu is a member of Skynet and a close confidant of Yan Wuchang's subordinates, he is also a junior in the huge Ouyang clan, and his identity used by Chu Mo to disguise himself is a distant relative. The so-called Baiqiao is not a book, and Yan Wuchang also wants her to take this opportunity to find Chu Mo's traces.

Chu Mo was bitter, Ouyang Mu's appearance caught him off guard, and in desperation, he had to leave the corridor in a hurry away from Ouyang Mu's sight, and casually found a side room and slipped in.

The Ouyang Mansion is huge, with all kinds of intricate paths and messy courtyards of small buildings, wrapped in a tree-lined garden. The first time Chu Mo came here, in order not to attract attention, he could only go along the place where there were few people, and he got lost unconsciously.

There was no one in this side room, surrounded by a lot of simple furniture, and a delicate curtain swaying in the breeze. Chu Mo didn't have time to take a closer look, and slipped out of the back door of the side room in great strides. Before leaving, he saw a hairpin on a small dresser, slender and sharp, and he took it into his sleeve.

If it was a last resort, he could only strike first, Ouyang Mu's skills were far inferior to him, as long as he had the opportunity, he would kill her first to protect himself.

Chu Mo pushed open the back door of the side house, and what greeted him outside the door was a small garden, a path paved with cobblestones extended to the other end of the garden, in the center of the garden was a small pond, next to which a lot of strange flowers and plants were planted, and a few long bunches of green vines climbed the wall, with green leaves and full of spring.

He was stunned when he saw this scene, this garden must have been carefully tended, and every flower and grass had been carefully cut. There was a golden wire cage hanging on an unknown small tree, which contained a beautiful parrot, and its wings were growing, and when he saw Chu Mo, he opened his throat and shouted: "Guest, guest." ”

Chu Mo looked at the parrot and lost his mind a little, he took a gentle step forward, brushing aside the lush branches and leaves on the green vine. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the parrot, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Is it Ouyang Gongzi?"

Chu Mo was startled, hurriedly withdrew his hand and put the hairpin into his arms, turned around, and saw a woman in plain clothes, with a delicate face and a good posture, standing at the door of the side room, looking at him with a smile.

The woman appeared behind him at some point, and he didn't even notice it.

Chu Mo calmed down, made a series towards the woman, and said gently: "In Xia Ouyang Mo, I walked from the corridor and got lost unconsciously, and I broke into this place by mistake, if it is inconvenient, please don't blame the girl." ”

The woman stepped forward with a smile, her eyes narrowed into an arc, and said: "Ouyang Gongzi said that he laughed, this is your home, what's the harm in coming and seeing?" I often hear the old man talk about Gongzi, and when I see it today, I really have the demeanor of a scholar. ”

After hearing this, Chu Mo felt that the woman in front of him had a kind face, so he relaxed his heart a little and said, "Miss Xie." ”

The woman walked straight towards Chu Mo, with a smile and a smile that seemed to be able to sweep away the wind and dust around her, which made people feel refreshed, and a faint jasmine fragrance hit her, refreshing people's hearts.

"Childe, haven't you forgotten me?" the woman smiled, stretched out her Qianqian jade hand, played with a young shoot, and asked Chu Mo.

Chu Mo palpitated for a while, and said: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I don't know any guests, so I dare to ask the girl's name." ”

Seeing that he looked polite, the woman smiled even more and said, "Don't call me a girl, I'm just a widowed yellow-faced woman." When I married into the Ouyang family that year, my son had already gone north to take the entrance examination, so I must not have known it. ”

After marrying into the Ouyang family, Chu Mo suddenly had an impression in his mind. When looking at Ouyang Mo's life back then, he also sketched some of the details of Ouyang Mansion. Ouyang Mo fell out with his family and went north alone to study in the Qin State, on the way he saw the people displaced by the war and the devastated land. Later, when he was captured, Lu Chuan used disguise grass to swap identities between him and Chu Mo. At that time, the Ouyang Mansion married the largest gangster in South Korea, the Dark Xiangtang, and a woman in the Dark Xiangtang married into the Ouyang Mansion and married to a nephew of Ouyang Zhenhua at that time, Ouyang Jie. Later, Ouyang Jie joined the army to fight against Chu and died on the battlefield, and the woman stayed in the mansion as a widow and never remarried.
